How to set the timeout for a TcpClient?

You would need to use the async BeginConnect method of TcpClient instead of attempting to connect synchronously, which is what the constructor does. Something like this:

var client = new TcpClient();
var result = client.BeginConnect("remotehost", this.Port, null, null);

var success = result.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));

if (!success)
{
    throw new Exception("Failed to connect.");
}

// we have connected
client.EndConnect(result);

C# : Converting Base Class to Child Class

You can copy value of Parent Class to a Child class. For instance, you could use reflection if that is the case.

How do I fix the error "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted"?

I faced similar problem on windows server 2012 STD 64 bit , my problem is resolved after updating windows with all available windows updates.

What is the correct way to read from NetworkStream in .NET

Setting the underlying socket ReceiveTimeout property did the trick. You can access it like this: yourTcpClient.Client.ReceiveTimeout. You can read the docs for more information.

Now the code will only "sleep" as long as needed for some data to arrive in the socket, or it will raise an exception if no data arrives, at the beginning of a read operation, for more than 20ms. I can tweak this timeout if needed. Now I'm not paying the 20ms price in every iteration, I'm only paying it at the last read operation. Since I have the content-length of the message in the first bytes read from the server I can use it to tweak it even more and not try to read if all expected data has been already received.

I find using ReceiveTimeout much easier than implementing asynchronous read... Here is the working code:

string SendCmd(string cmd, string ip, int port)
{
  var client = new TcpClient(ip, port);
  var data = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(cmd);
  var stm = client.GetStream();
  stm.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
  byte[] resp = new byte[2048];
  var memStream = new MemoryStream();
  var bytes = 0;
  client.Client.ReceiveTimeout = 20;
  do
  {
      try
      {
          bytes = stm.Read(resp, 0, resp.Length);
          memStream.Write(resp, 0, bytes);
      }
      catch (IOException ex)
      {
          // if the ReceiveTimeout is reached an IOException will be raised...
          // with an InnerException of type SocketException and ErrorCode 10060
          var socketExept = ex.InnerException as SocketException;
          if (socketExept == null || socketExept.ErrorCode != 10060)
              // if it's not the "expected" exception, let's not hide the error
              throw ex;
          // if it is the receive timeout, then reading ended
          bytes = 0;
      }
  } while (bytes > 0);
  return Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetString(memStream.ToArray());
}

Sending and receiving data over a network using TcpClient

I have had luck using the socket object directly (rather than the TCP client). I create a Server object that looks something like this (I've edited some stuff such as exception handling out for brevity, but I hope that the idea comes across.)...

public class Server()
{
    private Socket sock;
    // You'll probably want to initialize the port and address in the
    // constructor, or via accessors, but to start your server listening
    // on port 8080 and on any IP address available on the machine...
    private int port = 8080;
    private IPAddress addr = IPAddress.Any;

    // This is the method that starts the server listening.
    public void Start()
    {
        // Create the new socket on which we'll be listening.
        this.sock = new Socket(
            addr.AddressFamily,
            SocketType.Stream,
            ProtocolType.Tcp);
        // Bind the socket to the address and port.
        sock.Bind(new IPEndPoint(this.addr, this.port));
        // Start listening.
        this.sock.Listen(this.backlog);
        // Set up the callback to be notified when somebody requests
        // a new connection.
        this.sock.BeginAccept(this.OnConnectRequest, sock);
    }

    // This is the method that is called when the socket recives a request
    // for a new connection.
    private void OnConnectRequest(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        // Get the socket (which should be this listener's socket) from
        // the argument.
        Socket sock = (Socket)result.AsyncState;
        // Create a new client connection, using the primary socket to
        // spawn a new socket.
        Connection newConn = new Connection(sock.EndAccept(result));
        // Tell the listener socket to start listening again.
        sock.BeginAccept(this.OnConnectRequest, sock);
    }
}

Then, I use a separate Connection class to manage the individual connection with the remote host. That looks something like this...

public class Connection()
{
    private Socket sock;
    // Pick whatever encoding works best for you.  Just make sure the remote 
    // host is using the same encoding.
    private Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

    public Connection(Socket s)
    {
        this.sock = s;
        // Start listening for incoming data.  (If you want a multi-
        // threaded service, you can start this method up in a separate
        // thread.)
        this.BeginReceive();
    }

    // Call this method to set this connection's socket up to receive data.
    private void BeginReceive()
    {
        this.sock.BeginReceive(
                this.dataRcvBuf, 0,
                this.dataRcvBuf.Length,
                SocketFlags.None,
                new AsyncCallback(this.OnBytesReceived),
                this);
    }

    // This is the method that is called whenever the socket receives
    // incoming bytes.
    protected void OnBytesReceived(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        // End the data receiving that the socket has done and get
        // the number of bytes read.
        int nBytesRec = this.sock.EndReceive(result);
        // If no bytes were received, the connection is closed (at
        // least as far as we're concerned).
        if (nBytesRec <= 0)
        {
            this.sock.Close();
            return;
        }
        // Convert the data we have to a string.
        string strReceived = this.encoding.GetString(
            this.dataRcvBuf, 0, nBytesRec);

        // ...Now, do whatever works best with the string data.
        // You could, for example, look at each character in the string
        // one-at-a-time and check for characters like the "end of text"
        // character ('\u0003') from a client indicating that they've finished
        // sending the current message.  It's totally up to you how you want
        // the protocol to work.

        // Whenever you decide the connection should be closed, call 
        // sock.Close() and don't call sock.BeginReceive() again.  But as long 
        // as you want to keep processing incoming data...

        // Set up again to get the next chunk of data.
        this.sock.BeginReceive(
            this.dataRcvBuf, 0,
            this.dataRcvBuf.Length,
            SocketFlags.None,
            new AsyncCallback(this.OnBytesReceived),
            this);

    }
}

You can use your Connection object to send data by calling its Socket directly, like so...

this.sock.Send(this.encoding.GetBytes("Hello to you, remote host."));

As I said, I've tried to edit the code here for posting, so I apologize if there are any errors in it.

WCF Error "This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case"

Try to browse the service in the browser and in the Https mode, if it is not brow-sable then it proves the reason for this error. Now, to solve this error you need to check :

  • https port , check if it is not being used by some other resources (website)
  • Check if certificate for https are properly configured or not (check signing authority, self signed certificate, using multiple certificate )
  • check WCF service binding and configuration for Https mode

How do I tell a Python script to use a particular version

You can't do this within the Python program, because the shell decides which version to use if you a shebang line.

If you aren't using a shell with a shebang line and just type python myprogram.py it uses the default version unless you decide specifically which Python version when you type pythonXXX myprogram.py which version to use.

Once your Python program is running you have already decided which Python executable to use to get the program running.

virtualenv is for segregating python versions and environments, it specifically exists to eliminate conflicts.

How can I check if an array contains a specific value in php?

From http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

bool in_array ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = FALSE ] )

Searches haystack for needle using loose comparison unless strict is set.

Base64: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character

Just use the below code to resolve this:

JsonObject obj = Json.createReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.getDecoder().decode(accessToken.split("\\.")[1].
                        replace('-', '+').replace('_', '/')))).readObject();

In the above code replace('-', '+').replace('_', '/') did the job. For more details see the https://jwt.io/js/jwt.js. I understood the problem from the part of the code got from that link:

function url_base64_decode(str) {
  var output = str.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/');
  switch (output.length % 4) {
    case 0:
      break;
    case 2:
      output += '==';
      break;
    case 3:
      output += '=';
      break;
    default:
      throw 'Illegal base64url string!';
  }
  var result = window.atob(output); //polifyll https://github.com/davidchambers/Base64.js
  try{
    return decodeURIComponent(escape(result));
  } catch (err) {
    return result;
  }
}

sqlalchemy IS NOT NULL select

In case anyone else is wondering, you can use is_ to generate foo IS NULL:

>>> from sqlalchemy.sql import column
>>> print column('foo').is_(None)
foo IS NULL
>>> print column('foo').isnot(None)
foo IS NOT NULL

Python extract pattern matches

You can use groups (indicated with '(' and ')') to capture parts of the string. The match object's group() method then gives you the group's contents:

>>> import re
>>> s = 'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match = re.search('name (.*) is valid', s)
>>> match.group(0)  # the entire match
'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match.group(1)  # the first parenthesized subgroup
'my_user_name'

In Python 3.6+ you can also index into a match object instead of using group():

>>> match[0]  # the entire match 
'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match[1]  # the first parenthesized subgroup
'my_user_name'

How to make RatingBar to show five stars

vagrant primary box defined but commands still run against all boxes

The primary flag seems to only work for vagrant ssh for me.

In the past I have used the following method to hack around the issue.

# stage box intended for configuration closely matching production if ARGV[1] == 'stage'     config.vm.define "stage" do |stage|         box_setup stage, \         "10.9.8.31", "deploy/playbook_full_stack.yml", "deploy/hosts/vagrant_stage.yml"     end end 

Running stages in parallel with Jenkins workflow / pipeline

As @Quartz mentioned, you can do something like

stage('Tests') {
    parallel(
        'Unit Tests': {
            container('node') {
                sh("npm test --cat=unit")
            }
        },
        'API Tests': {
            container('node') {
                sh("npm test --cat=acceptance")
            }
        }
    )
}

Why a function checking if a string is empty always returns true?

I always use a regular expression for checking for an empty string, dating back to CGI/Perl days, and also with Javascript, so why not with PHP as well, e.g. (albeit untested)

return preg_match('/\S/', $input);

Where \S represents any non-whitespace character

Electron: jQuery is not defined

electron FAQ answer :

http://electron.atom.io/docs/faq/

I can not use jQuery/RequireJS/Meteor/AngularJS in Electron.

Due to the Node.js integration of Electron, there are some extra symbols inserted into the DOM like module, exports, require. This causes problems for some libraries since they want to insert the symbols with the same names.

To solve this, you can turn off node integration in Electron:

// In the main process.

let win = new BrowserWindow({  
 webPreferences: {
 nodeIntegration: false   } });

But if you want to keep the abilities of using Node.js and Electron APIs, you have to rename the symbols in the page before including other libraries:

<head> 
<script> 
window.nodeRequire = require; 
delete window.require;
delete window.exports; delete window.module; 
</script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> 
</head>

Reading a column from CSV file using JAVA

You are not changing the value of line. It should be something like this.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;

public class InsertValuesIntoTestDb {

  @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      String splitBy = ",";
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test.csv"));
      while((line = br.readLine()) != null){
           String[] b = line.split(splitBy);
           System.out.println(b[0]);
      }
      br.close();

  }
}

readLine returns each line and only returns null when there is nothing left. The above code sets line and then checks if it is null.

Use different Python version with virtualenv

It worked for me on windows with python 2 installation :

  1. Step 1: Install python 3 version .
  2. Step 2: create a env folder for the virtual environment.
  3. Step 3 : c:\Python37\python -m venv c:\path\to\env.

This is how i created Python 3 virtual environment on my existing python 2 installation.

Android: remove notification from notification bar

NotificationManager.cancel(id) is the correct answer. Yet you can remove in Android Oreo and later notifications by deleting the whole notification channel. This should delete all messages in the deleted channel.

Here is the example from the Android documentation:

NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
        (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// The id of the channel.
String id = "my_channel_01";
mNotificationManager.deleteNotificationChannel(id);

Multipart File Upload Using Spring Rest Template + Spring Web MVC

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string while inserting datetime

I had this issue when trying to concatenate getdate() into a string that I was inserting into an nvarchar field.

I did some casting to get around it:

 INSERT INTO [SYSTEM_TABLE] ([SYSTEM_PROP_TAG],[SYSTEM_PROP_VAL]) VALUES 
   (
    'EMAIL_HEADER',
    '<h2>111 Any St.<br />Anywhere, ST 11111</h2><br />' + 
        CAST(CAST(getdate() AS datetime2) AS nvarchar) + 
    '<br /><br /><br />'
   )

That's a sanitized example. The key portion of that is:

...' + CAST(CAST(getdate() AS datetime2) AS nvarchar) + '...

Casted the date as datetime2, then as nvarchar to concatenate it.

IT works fine in Mozilla,IE and chrome on and less than 22 version; but doesn't work in Opera and Safari.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

Your question answers itself ;) If og_date contains the date, it's probably a string, so og_date.value is undefined.

MSVCP140.dll missing

Either make your friends download the runtime DLL (@Kay's answer), or compile the app with static linking.

In visual studio, go to Project tab -> properties - > configuration properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation on runtime library choose /MTd for debug mode and /MT for release mode.

This will cause the compiler to embed the runtime into the app. The executable will be significantly bigger, but it will run without any need of runtime dlls.

JFrame.dispose() vs System.exit()

JFrame.dispose() affects only to this frame (release all of the native screen resources used by this component, its subcomponents, and all children). System.exit() affects to entire JVM.

If you want to close all JFrame or all Window (since Frames extend Windows) to terminate the application in an ordered mode, you can do some like this:

Arrays.asList(Window.getWindows()).forEach(e -> e.dispose()); // or JFrame.getFrames()

I'm not sure if this is going to help, but even i faced the exact same problem very recently with oozie-4.2.0 version. After reading through the above answers i have just added the maven option through command line and it worked for me. So, just sharing here.

I'm using java 1.8.0_77, haven't tried with java 1.7

How to check if a row exists in MySQL? (i.e. check if an email exists in MySQL)

There are multiple ways to check if a value exists in the database. Let me demonstrate how this can be done properly with PDO and mysqli.

PDO

PDO is the simpler option. To find out whether a value exists in the database you can use prepared statement and fetchColumn(). There is no need to fetch any data so we will only fetch 1 if the value exists.

<?php

// Connection code. 
$options = [
    \PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE            => \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    \PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES   => false,
];
$pdo = new \PDO('mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=test;charset=utf8mb4', 'testuser', 'password', $options);

// Prepared statement
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT 1 FROM tblUser WHERE email=?');
$stmt->execute([$_POST['email']]);
$exists = $stmt->fetchColumn(); // either 1 or null

if ($exists) {
    echo 'Email exists in the database.';
} else {
    // email doesn't exist yet
}

For more examples see: How to check if email exists in the database?

MySQLi

As always mysqli is a little more cumbersome and more restricted, but we can follow a similar approach with prepared statement.

<?php

// Connection code
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new \mysqli('localhost', 'testuser', 'password', 'test');
$mysqli->set_charset('utf8mb4');

// Prepared statement
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare('SELECT 1 FROM tblUser WHERE email=?');
$stmt->bind_param('s', $_POST['email']);
$stmt->execute();
$exists = (bool) $stmt->get_result()->fetch_row(); // Get the first row from result and cast to boolean

if ($exists) {
    echo 'Email exists in the database.';
} else {
    // email doesn't exist yet
}

Instead of casting the result row(which might not even exist) to boolean, you can also fetch COUNT(1) and read the first item from the first row using fetch_row()[0]

For more examples see: How to check whether a value exists in a database using mysqli prepared statements

Minor remarks

  • If someone suggests you to use mysqli_num_rows(), don't listen to them. This is a very bad approach and could lead to performance issues if misused.
  • Don't use real_escape_string(). This is not meant to be used as a protection against SQL injection. If you use prepared statements correctly you don't need to worry about any escaping.
  • If you want to check if a row exists in the database before you try to insert a new one, then it is better not to use this approach. It is better to create a unique key in the database and let it throw an exception if a duplicate value exists.

WPF MVVM ComboBox SelectedItem or SelectedValue not working

It could be the way you are applying the DataContext to the Page. In WPF, everytime you navigate to a Page everything gets re-initialized, constructor gets called, loaded methods, everything. so if you are setting your DataContext inside your View you will no doubt be blowing away that SelectedItem that the user selected. In order to avoid that use the KeepAlive property of your pages.

<Page KeepAlive="True" ...>
   ...
</Page>

This will result in only the Loaded event being fired when navigating back to a page you have already visited. So you will need to ensure that you are setting the DataContext on Initialize (either externally or within the constructor) rather than Load.

However, this will only work for that instance of the Page. If you navigate to a new instance of that page it constructor will be called again.

How to obtain the start time and end time of a day?

private Date getStartOfDay(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 0, 0, 0);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

private Date getEndOfDay(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 23, 59, 59);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

calendar.setTimeInMillis(0); gives you accuracy upto milliseconds

Can the Android drawable directory contain subdirectories?

Subdirectories are not allowed, the resource must contain only [a-z0-9_.].

No you have uppercase letters, and no forward slashes.

Using multiple parameters in URL in express

app.get('/fruit/:fruitName/:fruitColor', function(req, res) {
    var data = {
        "fruit": {
            "apple": req.params.fruitName,
            "color": req.params.fruitColor
        }
    }; 

    send.json(data);
});

If that doesn't work, try using console.log(req.params) to see what it is giving you.

How can I remove a child node in HTML using JavaScript?

A jQuery solution

HTML

<select id="foo">
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

Javascript

// remove child "option" element with a "value" attribute equal to "2"
$("#foo > option[value='2']").remove();

// remove all child "option" elements
$("#foo > option").remove();

References:

Attribute Equals Selector [name=value]

Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value exactly equal to a certain value.

Child Selector (“parent > child”)

Selects all direct child elements specified by "child" of elements specified by "parent"

.remove()

Similar to .empty(), the .remove() method takes elements out of the DOM. We use .remove() when we want to remove the element itself, as well as everything inside it. In addition to the elements themselves, all bound events and jQuery data associated with the elements are removed.

$(this).serialize() -- How to add a value?

Don't forget you can always do:

<input type="hidden" name="NonFormName" value="NonFormValue" />

in your actual form, which may be better for your code depending on the case.

import httplib ImportError: No module named httplib

You are running Python 2 code on Python 3. In Python 3, the module has been renamed to http.client.

You could try to run the 2to3 tool on your code, and try to have it translated automatically. References to httplib will automatically be rewritten to use http.client instead.

Console.WriteLine and generic List

Do this:

list.ForEach(i => Console.Write("{0}\t", i));

EDIT: To others that have responded - he wants them all on the same line, with tabs between them. :)

Two div blocks on same line

Use below Css:

#bloc1,
#bloc2 {
display:inline
} 

body {
text-align:center
}

It will make the mentioned 2 divs in the center on the same line.

How to create an instance of System.IO.Stream stream

You have to create an instance of one of the subclasses. Stream is an abstract class that can't be instantiated directly.

There are a bunch of choices if you look at the bottom of the reference here:

Stream Class | Microsoft Developer Network

The most common probably being FileStream or MemoryStream. Basically, you need to decide where you wish the data backing your stream to come from, then create an instance of the appropriate subclass.

Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated

It's really simple to fix the issue, however keep in mind that you should fork and commit your changes for each library you are using in their repositories to help others as well.

Let's say you have something like this in your code:

$str = "test";
echo($str{0});

since PHP 7.4 curly braces method to get individual characters inside a string has been deprecated, so change the above syntax into this:

$str = "test";
echo($str[0]);

Fixing the code in the question will look something like this:

public function getRecordID(string $zoneID, string $type = '', string $name = ''): string
{
    $records = $this->listRecords($zoneID, $type, $name);
    if (isset($records->result[0]->id)) {
        return $records->result[0]->id;
    }
    return false;
}

Difference between StringBuilder and StringBuffer

StringBuffer

StringBuffer is mutable means one can change the value of the object . The object created through StringBuffer is stored in the heap . StringBuffer has the same methods as the StringBuilder , but each method in StringBuffer is synchronized that is StringBuffer is thread safe .

because of this it does not allow two threads to simultaneously access the same method . Each method can be accessed by one thread at a time .

But being thread safe has disadvantages too as the performance of the StringBuffer hits due to thread safe property . Thus StringBuilder is faster than the StringBuffer when calling the same methods of each class.

StringBuffer value can be changed , it means it can be assigned to the new value . Nowadays its a most common interview question ,the differences between the above classes . String Buffer can be converted to the string by using toString() method.

StringBuffer demo1 = new StringBuffer(“Hello”) ;
// The above object stored in heap and its value can be changed .

demo1=new StringBuffer(“Bye”);
// Above statement is right as it modifies the value which is allowed in the StringBuffer

StringBuilder

StringBuilder is same as the StringBuffer , that is it stores the object in heap and it can also be modified . The main difference between the StringBuffer and StringBuilder is that StringBuilder is also not thread safe. StringBuilder is fast as it is not thread safe .

StringBuilder demo2= new StringBuilder(“Hello”);
// The above object too is stored in the heap and its value can be modified

demo2=new StringBuilder(“Bye”);
// Above statement is right as it modifies the value which is allowed in the StringBuilder

How to configure heroku application DNS to Godaddy Domain?

There are 2 steps you need to perform,

  1. Add the custom domains addon and add the domain your going to use, eg www.mywebsite.com to your application
  2. Go to your domain registrar control panel and set www.mywebsite.com to be a CNAME entry to yourapp.herokuapp.com assuming you are using the CEDAR stack.
  3. There is a third step if you want to use a naked domain, eg mywebsite.com when you would have to add the IP addresses of the Heroku load balancers to your DNS for mywebsite.com

You can read more about this at http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

At a guess you've missed out the first step perhaps?

UPDATE: Following the announcement of Bamboo's EOL proxy.heroku.com being retired (September 2014) for Bamboo applications so these should also now use the yourapp.herokuapp.com mapping now as well.

Nested select statement in SQL Server

The answer provided by Joe Stefanelli is already correct.

SELECT name FROM (SELECT name FROM agentinformation) as a  

We need to make an alias of the subquery because a query needs a table object which we will get from making an alias for the subquery. Conceptually, the subquery results are substituted into the outer query. As we need a table object in the outer query, we need to make an alias of the inner query.

Statements that include a subquery usually take one of these forms:

  • WHERE expression [NOT] IN (subquery)
  • WHERE expression comparison_operator [ANY | ALL] (subquery)
  • WHERE [NOT] EXISTS (subquery)

Check for more subquery rules and subquery types.

More examples of Nested Subqueries.

  1. IN / NOT IN – This operator takes the output of the inner query after the inner query gets executed which can be zero or more values and sends it to the outer query. The outer query then fetches all the matching [IN operator] or non matching [NOT IN operator] rows.

  2. ANY – [>ANY or ANY operator takes the list of values produced by the inner query and fetches all the values which are greater than the minimum value of the list. The

e.g. >ANY(100,200,300), the ANY operator will fetch all the values greater than 100.

  1. ALL – [>ALL or ALL operator takes the list of values produced by the inner query and fetches all the values which are greater than the maximum of the list. The

e.g. >ALL(100,200,300), the ALL operator will fetch all the values greater than 300.

  1. EXISTS – The EXISTS keyword produces a Boolean value [TRUE/FALSE]. This EXISTS checks the existence of the rows returned by the sub query.

Regular expression - starting and ending with a letter, accepting only letters, numbers and _

I'll take a stab at it:

/^[a-z](?:_?[a-z0-9]+)*$/i

Explained:

/
 ^           # match beginning of string
 [a-z]       # match a letter for the first char
 (?:         # start non-capture group
   _?          # match 0 or 1 '_'
   [a-z0-9]+   # match a letter or number, 1 or more times
 )*          # end non-capture group, match whole group 0 or more times
 $           # match end of string
/i           # case insensitive flag

The non-capture group takes care of a) not allowing two _'s (it forces at least one letter or number per group) and b) only allowing the last char to be a letter or number.

Some test strings:

"a": match
"_": fail
"zz": match
"a0": match
"A_": fail
"a0_b": match
"a__b": fail
"a_1_c": match

Read Content from Files which are inside Zip file

My way of achieving this is by creating ZipInputStream wrapping class that would handle that would provide only the stream of current entry:

The wrapper class:

public class ZippedFileInputStream extends InputStream {

    private ZipInputStream is;

    public ZippedFileInputStream(ZipInputStream is){
        this.is = is;
    }

    @Override
    public int read() throws IOException {
        return is.read();
    }

    @Override
    public void close() throws IOException {
        is.closeEntry();
    }

}

The use of it:

    ZipInputStream zipInputStream = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream("SomeFile.zip"));

    while((entry = zipInputStream.getNextEntry())!= null) {

     ZippedFileInputStream archivedFileInputStream = new ZippedFileInputStream(zipInputStream);

     //... perform whatever logic you want here with ZippedFileInputStream 

     // note that this will only close the current entry stream and not the ZipInputStream
     archivedFileInputStream.close();

    }
    zipInputStream.close();

One advantage of this approach: InputStreams are passed as an arguments to methods that process them and those methods have a tendency to immediately close the input stream after they are done with it.

String Array object in Java

Currently you can't access the arrays named name and country, because they are member variables of your Athelete class.

Based on what it looks like you're trying to do, this will not work.

These arrays belong in your main class.

You can use android:background="#DC143C", or any other RGB values for your color. I have no problem using it this way, as stated here

Printing without newline (print 'a',) prints a space, how to remove?

Python 3.x:

for i in range(20):
    print('a', end='')

Python 2.6 or 2.7:

from __future__ import print_function
for i in xrange(20):
    print('a', end='')

SVN Error - Not a working copy

Recently I was using other developers Mac I had the same situation, problem was; first I needed to type get repo path to terminal but I didn't, than it says what is your user name and password.

Public class is inaccessible due to its protection level

You could go into the designer of the web form and change the "webcontrols" to be "public" instead of "protected" but I'm not sure how safe that is. I prefer to make hidden inputs and have some jQuery set the values into those hidden inputs, then create public properties in the web form's class (code behind), and access the values that way.

How does createOrReplaceTempView work in Spark?

SparkSQl support writing programs using Dataset and Dataframe API, along with it need to support sql.

In order to support Sql on DataFrames, first it requires a table definition with column names are required, along with if it creates tables the hive metastore will get lot unnecessary tables, because Spark-Sql natively resides on hive. So it will create a temporary view, which temporarily available in hive for time being and used as any other hive table, once the Spark Context stop it will be removed.

In order to create the view, developer need an utility called createOrReplaceTempView

Socket.IO handling disconnect event

Ok, instead of identifying players by name track with sockets through which they have connected. You can have a implementation like

Server

var allClients = [];
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
   allClients.push(socket);

   socket.on('disconnect', function() {
      console.log('Got disconnect!');

      var i = allClients.indexOf(socket);
      allClients.splice(i, 1);
   });
});

Hope this will help you to think in another way

Iterating through list of list in Python

This can also be achieved with itertools.chain.from_iterable which will flatten the consecutive iterables:

import itertools
for item in itertools.chain.from_iterable(iterables):
    # do something with item    

Drop all the tables, stored procedures, triggers, constraints and all the dependencies in one sql statement

To remove all objects in oracle :

1) Dynamic

DECLARE
CURSOR IX IS
SELECT * FROM ALL_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_TYPE ='TABLE' 
AND OWNER='SCHEMA_NAME';
 CURSOR IY IS
 SELECT * FROM ALL_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_TYPE 
IN ('SEQUENCE',
'PROCEDURE',
'PACKAGE',
'FUNCTION',
'VIEW') AND  OWNER='SCHEMA_NAME';
 CURSOR IZ IS
 SELECT * FROM ALL_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_TYPE IN ('TYPE') AND  OWNER='SCHEMA_NAME';
BEGIN
 FOR X IN IX LOOP
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE('DROP '||X.OBJECT_TYPE||' '||X.OBJECT_NAME|| ' CASCADE CONSTRAINT');
 END LOOP;
 FOR Y IN IY LOOP
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE('DROP '||Y.OBJECT_TYPE||' '||Y.OBJECT_NAME);
 END LOOP;
 FOR Z IN IZ LOOP
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE('DROP '||Z.OBJECT_TYPE||' '||Z.OBJECT_NAME||' FORCE ');
 END LOOP;
END;
/

2)Static

    SELECT 'DROP TABLE "' || TABLE_NAME || '" CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;' FROM user_tables
        union ALL
        select 'drop '||object_type||' '|| object_name || ';' from user_objects 
        where object_type in ('VIEW','PACKAGE','SEQUENCE', 'PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION')
        union ALL
        SELECT 'drop '
        ||object_type
        ||' '
        || object_name
        || ' force;'
        FROM user_objects
        WHERE object_type IN ('TYPE');

Return value from nested function in Javascript

Right. The function you pass to getLocations() won't get called until the data is available, so returning "country" before it's been set isn't going to help you.

The way you need to do this is to have the function that you pass to geocoder.getLocations() actually do whatever it is you wanted done with the returned values.

Something like this:

function reverseGeocode(latitude,longitude){
  var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
  var latlng = new GLatLng(latitude, longitude);

  geocoder.getLocations(latlng, function(addresses) {
    var address = addresses.Placemark[0].address;
    var country = addresses.Placemark[0].AddressDetails.Country.CountryName;
    var countrycode = addresses.Placemark[0].AddressDetails.Country.CountryNameCode;
    var locality = addresses.Placemark[0].AddressDetails.Country.AdministrativeArea.SubAdministrativeArea.Locality.LocalityName;
    do_something_with_address(address, country, countrycode, locality);
  });   
}

function do_something_with_address(address, country, countrycode, locality) {
  if (country==="USA") {
     alert("USA A-OK!"); // or whatever
  }
}

If you might want to do something different every time you get the location, then pass the function as an additional parameter to reverseGeocode:

function reverseGeocode(latitude,longitude, callback){
  // Function contents the same as above, then
  callback(address, country, countrycode, locality);
}
reverseGeocode(latitude, longitude, do_something_with_address);

If this looks a little messy, then you could take a look at something like the Deferred feature in Dojo, which makes the chaining between functions a little clearer.

Fixed width buttons with Bootstrap

You can also use the .btn-block class on the button, so that it expands to the parent's width.

If the parent is a fixed width element the button will expand to take all width. You can apply existing markup to the container to ensure fixed/fluid buttons take up only the required space.

<div class="span2">
<p><button class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Save</button></p>
<p><button class="btn btn-success btn-block">Download</button></p>

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

std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();

This is a great place for auto:

auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();

Since you want to traffic at millisecond precision, it would be good to go ahead and covert to it in the time_point:

auto now_ms = std::chrono::time_point_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(now);

now_ms is a time_point, based on system_clock, but with the precision of milliseconds instead of whatever precision your system_clock has.

auto epoch = now_ms.time_since_epoch();

epoch now has type std::chrono::milliseconds. And this next statement becomes essentially a no-op (simply makes a copy and does not make a conversion):

auto value = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(epoch);

Here:

long duration = value.count();

In both your and my code, duration holds the number of milliseconds since the epoch of system_clock.

This:

std::chrono::duration<long> dur(duration);

Creates a duration represented with a long, and a precision of seconds. This effectively reinterpret_casts the milliseconds held in value to seconds. It is a logic error. The correct code would look like:

std::chrono::milliseconds dur(duration);

This line:

std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> dt(dur);

creates a time_point based on system_clock, with the capability of holding a precision to the system_clock's native precision (typically finer than milliseconds). However the run-time value will correctly reflect that an integral number of milliseconds are held (assuming my correction on the type of dur).

Even with the correction, this test will (nearly always) fail though:

if (dt != now)

Because dt holds an integral number of milliseconds, but now holds an integral number of ticks finer than a millisecond (e.g. microseconds or nanoseconds). Thus only on the rare chance that system_clock::now() returned an integral number of milliseconds would the test pass.

But you can instead:

if (dt != now_ms)

And you will now get your expected result reliably.

Putting it all together:

int main ()
{
    auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    auto now_ms = std::chrono::time_point_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(now);

    auto value = now_ms.time_since_epoch();
    long duration = value.count();

    std::chrono::milliseconds dur(duration);

    std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> dt(dur);

    if (dt != now_ms)
        std::cout << "Failure." << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Success." << std::endl;
}

Personally I find all the std::chrono overly verbose and so I would code it as:

int main ()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
    auto now = system_clock::now();
    auto now_ms = time_point_cast<milliseconds>(now);

    auto value = now_ms.time_since_epoch();
    long duration = value.count();

    milliseconds dur(duration);

    time_point<system_clock> dt(dur);

    if (dt != now_ms)
        std::cout << "Failure." << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Success." << std::endl;
}

Which will reliably output:

Success.

Finally, I recommend eliminating temporaries to reduce the code converting between time_point and integral type to a minimum. These conversions are dangerous, and so the less code you write manipulating the bare integral type the better:

int main ()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
    // Get current time with precision of milliseconds
    auto now = time_point_cast<milliseconds>(system_clock::now());
    // sys_milliseconds is type time_point<system_clock, milliseconds>
    using sys_milliseconds = decltype(now);
    // Convert time_point to signed integral type
    auto integral_duration = now.time_since_epoch().count();
    // Convert signed integral type to time_point
    sys_milliseconds dt{milliseconds{integral_duration}};
    // test
    if (dt != now)
        std::cout << "Failure." << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Success." << std::endl;
}

The main danger above is not interpreting integral_duration as milliseconds on the way back to a time_point. One possible way to mitigate that risk is to write:

    sys_milliseconds dt{sys_milliseconds::duration{integral_duration}};

This reduces risk down to just making sure you use sys_milliseconds on the way out, and in the two places on the way back in.

And one more example: Let's say you want to convert to and from an integral which represents whatever duration system_clock supports (microseconds, 10th of microseconds or nanoseconds). Then you don't have to worry about specifying milliseconds as above. The code simplifies to:

int main ()
{
    using namespace std::chrono;
    // Get current time with native precision
    auto now = system_clock::now();
    // Convert time_point to signed integral type
    auto integral_duration = now.time_since_epoch().count();
    // Convert signed integral type to time_point
    system_clock::time_point dt{system_clock::duration{integral_duration}};
    // test
    if (dt != now)
        std::cout << "Failure." << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Success." << std::endl;
}

This works, but if you run half the conversion (out to integral) on one platform and the other half (in from integral) on another platform, you run the risk that system_clock::duration will have different precisions for the two conversions.

Center content vertically on Vuetify

Update for new vuetify version

In v.2.x.x , we can use align and justify. We have below options for setup the horizontal and vertical alignment.

  1. PROPS align : 'start','center','end','baseline','stretch'

  2. PRPS justify : 'start','center','end','space-around','space-between'

<v-container fill-height fluid>
  <v-row align="center"
      justify="center">
      <v-col></v-col>
  </v-row>
</v-container>

For more details please refer this vuetify grid-system and you could check here with working codepen demo.


Original answer

You could use align-center for layout and fill-height for container.

Google maps API V3 method fitBounds()

I have the same problem that you describe although I'm building up my LatLngBounds as proposed by above. The problem is that things are async and calling map.fitBounds() at the wrong time may leave you with a result like in the Q. The best way I found is to place the call in an idle handler like this:

google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function() {
    map.fitBounds(markerBounds);
});

SELECT * FROM X WHERE id IN (...) with Dapper ORM

Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier - Two GUIDs

MSDN Documentation Here

To add a bit of context to M.Ali's Answer you can convert a string to a uniqueidentifier using the following code

   SELECT CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'DF215E10-8BD4-4401-B2DC-99BB03135F2E')

If that doesn't work check to make sure you have entered a valid GUID

Working around MySQL error "Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction"

The idea of retrying the query in case of Deadlock exception is good, but it can be terribly slow, since mysql query will keep waiting for locks to be released. And incase of deadlock mysql is trying to find if there is any deadlock, and even after finding out that there is a deadlock, it waits a while before kicking out a thread in order to get out from deadlock situation.

What I did when I faced this situation is to implement locking in your own code, since it is the locking mechanism of mysql is failing due to a bug. So I implemented my own row level locking in my java code:

private HashMap<String, Object> rowIdToRowLockMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
private final Object hashmapLock = new Object();
public void handleShortCode(Integer rowId)
{
    Object lock = null;
    synchronized(hashmapLock)
    {
      lock = rowIdToRowLockMap.get(rowId);
      if (lock == null)
      {
          rowIdToRowLockMap.put(rowId, lock = new Object());
      }
    }
    synchronized (lock)
    {
        // Execute your queries on row by row id
    }
}

            // open the dialog
            dialog.dialog({

                close: function(event, ui) {
                    // remove div with all data and events
                    dialog.remove();
                },
                modal: true
            });
            // load remote content
            dialog.load(
                url, 
                {}, // omit this param object to issue a GET request instead a POST request, otherwise you may provide post parameters within the object
                function (responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
                    // remove the loading class
                    dialog.removeClass('loading');
                }
            );

            return false;
        });
    });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Note that you can't load remote from local, so you'll have to upload this to a server or whatever. Also note that you can't load from foreign domains, so you should replace href of the link to a document hosted on the same domain (and here's the workaround).

Pytorch reshape tensor dimension

This question has been thoroughly answered already, but I want to add for the less experienced python developers that you might find the * operator helpful in conjunction with view().

For example if you have a particular tensor size that you want a different tensor of data to conform to, you might try:

img = Variable(tensor.randn(20,30,3)) # tensor with goal shape
flat_size = 20*30*3
X = Variable(tensor.randn(50, flat_size)) # data tensor

X = X.view(-1, *img.size()) # sweet maneuver
print(X.size()) # size is (50, 20, 30, 3)

This works with numpy shape too:

img = np.random.randn(20,30,3)
flat_size = 20*30*3
X = Variable(tensor.randn(50, flat_size))
X = X.view(-1, *img.shape)
print(X.size()) # size is (50, 20, 30, 3)

How do I calculate someone's age based on a DateTime type birthday?

With fewer conversions and UtcNow, this code can take care of someone born on the Feb 29 in a leap year:

public int GetAge(DateTime DateOfBirth)
{
    var Now = DateTime.UtcNow;
    return Now.Year - DateOfBirth.Year -
        (
            (
                Now.Month > DateOfBirth.Month ||
                (Now.Month == DateOfBirth.Month && Now.Day >= DateOfBirth.Day)
            ) ? 0 : 1
        );
}

Submit two forms with one button

if you want to submit two forms with one button you need to do this:

1- use setTimeout()

2- allow show pop up

<script>
function myFunction() {
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("form1").submit();}, 3000);   
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("form2").submit();}, 6000);   
}
</script>
<form  target="_blank" id="form1">
<input type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form target="_blank" id="form2">
<input type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>

javascript doesn't submit two forms at the same time. we submit two forms with one button not at the same time but after secounds.

edit: when we use this code, browser doesn't allow pop up.
if you use this code for your software like me just set browser for show pop up but if you use it in designing site, browser is a barrier and code doesn't run.

How to return Json object from MVC controller to view

You could use AJAX to call this controller action. For example if you are using jQuery you might use the $.ajax() method:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $.ajax({
        url: '@Url.Action("NameOfYourAction")',
        type: 'GET',
        cache: false,
        success: function(result) {
            // you could use the result.values dictionary here
        }
    });
</script>

Equivalent of Math.Min & Math.Max for Dates?

public static class DateTool
{
    public static DateTime Min(DateTime x, DateTime y)
    {
        return (x.ToUniversalTime() < y.ToUniversalTime()) ? x : y;
    }
    public static DateTime Max(DateTime x, DateTime y)
    {
        return (x.ToUniversalTime() > y.ToUniversalTime()) ? x : y;
    }
}

This allows the dates to have different 'kinds' and returns the instance that was passed in (not returning a new DateTime constructed from Ticks or Milliseconds).

[TestMethod()]
    public void MinTest2()
    {
        DateTime x = new DateTime(2001, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, DateTimeKind.Utc);
        DateTime y = new DateTime(2001, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, DateTimeKind.Local);

        //Presumes Local TimeZone adjustment to UTC > 0
        DateTime actual = DateTool.Min(x, y);
        Assert.AreEqual(x, actual);
    }

Note that this test would fail East of Greenwich...

Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?

Browser Violation

.write is considered a browser violation as it halts the parser from rendering the page. The parser receives the message that the document is being modified; hence, it gets blocked until JS has completed its process. Only at this time will the parser resume.

Performance

The biggest consequence of employing such a method is lowered performance. The browser will take longer to load page content. The adverse reaction on load time depends on what is being written to the document. You won't see much of a difference if you are adding a <p> tag to the DOM as opposed to passing an array of 50-some references to JavaScript libraries (something which I have seen in working code and resulted in an 11 second delay - of course, this also depends on your hardware).

All in all, it's best to steer clear of this method if you can help it.

For more info see Intervening against document.write()

An App ID with Identifier '' is not available. Please enter a different string

For me the solution was to change the bundle identifier by replacing the period separator to dashes. I changed com.mycompany.appname to com-mycompany-appname.

Remove a cookie

When you enter 0 for time, you mean "now" (+0s from now is actually now) for the browser and it deletes the cookie.

setcookie("key", NULL, 0, "/");

I checked it in chrome browser that gives me:

jQuery ajax request being block because Cross-Origin

Try with cURL request for cross-domain.

If you are working through third party APIs or getting data through CROSS-DOMAIN, it is always recommended to use cURL script (server side) which is more secure.

I always prefer cURL script.

How do I compare two files using Eclipse? Is there any option provided by Eclipse?

To compare two files in Eclipse, first select them in the Project Explorer / Package Explorer / Navigator with control-click. Now right-click on one of the files, and the following context menu will appear. Select Compare With / Each Other.

enter image description here

What are the differences between LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, and AbsoluteLayout?

LinearLayout means you can align views one by one (vertically/ horizontally).

RelativeLayout means based on relation of views from its parents and other views.

ConstraintLayout is similar to a RelativeLayout in that it uses relations to position and size widgets, but has additional flexibility and is easier to use in the Layout Editor.

WebView to load html, static or dynamic pages.

FrameLayout to load child one above another, like cards inside a frame, we can place one above another or anywhere inside the frame.

deprecated - AbsoluteLayout means you have to give exact position where the view should be.

Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

Got this from - http://blog.cedarsoft.com/2010/11/setting-java-library-path-programmatically/

If set the java.library.path, need to have the following lines in order to work.

Field fieldSysPath;
fieldSysPath = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField( "sys_paths" );
fieldSysPath.setAccessible( true );
fieldSysPath.set( null, null );

Setting the User-Agent header for a WebClient request

This worked for me:

var message = new HttpRequestMessage(method, url);
message.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("user-agent", "<user agent header value>");
var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.SendAsync(message);

Here you can find the documentation for TryAddWithoutValidation

How to set cursor to input box in Javascript?

Sometimes you do get focus but no cursor in a text field. In this case you would do this:

document.getElementById(frmObj.id).select();

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

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

Classpath resource not found when running as jar

in spring boot :

1) if your file is ouside jar you can use :        

@Autowired
private ResourceLoader resourceLoader;

**.resource(resourceLoader.getResource("file:/path_to_your_file"))**

2) if your file is inside resources of jar you can `enter code here`use :

**.resource(new ClassPathResource("file_name"))**

Initializing C# auto-properties

Update - the answer below was written before C# 6 came along. In C# 6 you can write:

public class Foo
{
    public string Bar { get; set; } = "bar";
}

You can also write read-only automatically-implemented properties, which are only writable in the constructor (but can also be given a default initial value):

public class Foo
{
    public string Bar { get; }

    public Foo(string bar)
    {
        Bar = bar;
    }
}

It's unfortunate that there's no way of doing this right now. You have to set the value in the constructor. (Using constructor chaining can help to avoid duplication.)

Automatically implemented properties are handy right now, but could certainly be nicer. I don't find myself wanting this sort of initialization as often as a read-only automatically implemented property which could only be set in the constructor and would be backed by a read-only field.

This hasn't happened up until and including C# 5, but is being planned for C# 6 - both in terms of allowing initialization at the point of declaration, and allowing for read-only automatically implemented properties to be initialized in a constructor body.

Node.js Write a line into a .txt file

Step 1

If you have a small file Read all the file data in to memory

Step 2

Convert file data string into Array

Step 3

Search the array to find a location where you want to insert the text

Step 4

Once you have the location insert your text

yourArray.splice(index,0,"new added test");

Step 5

convert your array to string

yourArray.join("");

Step 6

write your file like so

fs.createWriteStream(yourArray);

This is not advised if your file is too big

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

For Docker users - When trying to connect local sql using mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p and your database is running on Docker container, make sure the mysql service is up and running (verify using docker ps and also check that you are in the right port as well) , if the container is down you'll get connection error.

Best practice is to set the ip's in /etc/hosts on your machine:

127.0.0.1 db.local

and running it by mysql -u root -h db.local -p

Compute mean and standard deviation by group for multiple variables in a data.frame

This is an aggregation problem, not a reshaping problem as the question originally suggested -- we wish to aggregate each column into a mean and standard deviation by ID. There are many packages that handle such problems. In the base of R it can be done using aggregate like this (assuming DF is the input data frame):

ag <- aggregate(. ~ ID, DF, function(x) c(mean = mean(x), sd = sd(x)))

Note 1: A commenter pointed out that ag is a data frame for which some columns are matrices. Although initially that may seem strange, in fact it simplifies access. ag has the same number of columns as the input DF. Its first column ag[[1]] is ID and the ith column of the remainder ag[[i+1]] (or equivalanetly ag[-1][[i]]) is the matrix of statistics for the ith input observation column. If one wishes to access the jth statistic of the ith observation it is therefore ag[[i+1]][, j] which can also be written as ag[-1][[i]][, j] .

On the other hand, suppose there are k statistic columns for each observation in the input (where k=2 in the question). Then if we flatten the output then to access the jth statistic of the ith observation column we must use the more complex ag[[k*(i-1)+j+1]] or equivalently ag[-1][[k*(i-1)+j]] .

For example, compare the simplicity of the first expression vs. the second:

ag[-1][[2]]
##        mean      sd
## [1,] 36.333 10.2144
## [2,] 32.250  4.1932
## [3,] 43.500  4.9497

ag_flat <- do.call("data.frame", ag) # flatten
ag_flat[-1][, 2 * (2-1) + 1:2]
##   Obs_2.mean Obs_2.sd
## 1     36.333  10.2144
## 2     32.250   4.1932
## 3     43.500   4.9497

Note 2: The input in reproducible form is:

Lines <- "ID  Obs_1   Obs_2   Obs_3
1   43      48      37
1   27      29      22
1   36      32      40
2   33      38      36
2   29      32      27

2   25      28      24
3   45      47      42

Options for initializing a string array

Basic:

string[] myString = new string[]{"string1", "string2"};

or

string[] myString = new string[4];
myString[0] = "string1"; // etc.

Advanced: From a List

list<string> = new list<string>(); 
//... read this in from somewhere
string[] myString = list.ToArray();

From StringCollection

StringCollection sc = new StringCollection();
/// read in from file or something
string[] myString = sc.ToArray();

Animate element to auto height with jQuery

If all you are wanting is to show and hide say a div, then this code will let you use jQuery animate. You can have jQuery animate the majority of the height you wish or you can trick animate by animating to 0px. jQuery just needs a height set by jQuery to convert it to auto. So the .animate adds the style="" to the element that .css(height:auto) converts.

The cleanest way I have seen this work is to animate to around the height you expect, then let it set auto and it can look very seamless when done right. You can even animate past what you expect and it will snap back. Animating to 0px at a duration of 0 just simply drops the element height to its auto height. To the human eye, it looks animated anyway. Enjoy..

    jQuery("div").animate({
         height: "0px"/*or height of your choice*/
    }, {
         duration: 0,/*or speed of your choice*/
         queue: false, 
         specialEasing: {
             height: "easeInCirc"
        },
         complete: function() {
             jQuery(this).css({height:"auto"});
        }
    });

Sorry I know this is an old post, but I felt this would be relevant to users seeking this functionality still with jQuery who come across this post.

How to create Drawable from resource

The getDrawable (int id) method is deprecated as of API 22.

Instead you should use the getDrawable (int id, Resources.Theme theme) for API 21+

Code would look something like this.

Drawable myDrawable;
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
    myDrawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(id, context.getTheme());
} else {
    myDrawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(id);
}

How to redirect output of an already running process

See Redirecting Output from a Running Process.

Firstly I run the command cat > foo1 in one session and test that data from stdin is copied to the file. Then in another session I redirect the output.

Firstly find the PID of the process:

$ ps aux | grep cat
rjc 6760 0.0 0.0 1580 376 pts/5 S+ 15:31 0:00 cat

Now check the file handles it has open:

$ ls -l /proc/6760/fd
total 3
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 0 -> /dev/pts/5
l-wx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 1 -> /tmp/foo1
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 2 -> /dev/pts/5

Now run GDB:

$ gdb -p 6760 /bin/cat
GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian

[license stuff snipped]

Attaching to program: /bin/cat, process 6760

[snip other stuff that's not interesting now]

(gdb) p close(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p creat("/tmp/foo3", 0600)
$2 = 1
(gdb) q
The program is running. Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) y
Detaching from program: /bin/cat, process 6760

The p command in GDB will print the value of an expression, an expression can be a function to call, it can be a system call… So I execute a close() system call and pass file handle 1, then I execute a creat() system call to open a new file. The result of the creat() was 1 which means that it replaced the previous file handle. If I wanted to use the same file for stdout and stderr or if I wanted to replace a file handle with some other number then I would need to call the dup2() system call to achieve that result.

For this example I chose to use creat() instead of open() because there are fewer parameter. The C macros for the flags are not usable from GDB (it doesn’t use C headers) so I would have to read header files to discover this – it’s not that hard to do so but would take more time. Note that 0600 is the octal permission for the owner having read/write access and the group and others having no access. It would also work to use 0 for that parameter and run chmod on the file later on.

After that I verify the result:

ls -l /proc/6760/fd/
total 3
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 0 -> /dev/pts/5
l-wx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 1 -> /tmp/foo3 <====
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 2 -> /dev/pts/5

Typing more data in to cat results in the file /tmp/foo3 being appended to.

If you want to close the original session you need to close all file handles for it, open a new device that can be the controlling tty, and then call setsid().

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError no *****.dll in java.library.path

In order for System.loadLibrary() to work, the library (on Windows, a DLL) must be in a directory somewhere on your PATH or on a path listed in the java.library.path system property (so you can launch Java like java -Djava.library.path=/path/to/dir).

Additionally, for loadLibrary(), you specify the base name of the library, without the .dll at the end. So, for /path/to/something.dll, you would just use System.loadLibrary("something").

You also need to look at the exact UnsatisfiedLinkError that you are getting. If it says something like:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no foo in java.library.path

then it can't find the foo library (foo.dll) in your PATH or java.library.path. If it says something like:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.example.program.ClassName.foo()V

then something is wrong with the library itself in the sense that Java is not able to map a native Java function in your application to its actual native counterpart.

To start with, I would put some logging around your System.loadLibrary() call to see if that executes properly. If it throws an exception or is not in a code path that is actually executed, then you will always get the latter type of UnsatisfiedLinkError explained above.

As a sidenote, most people put their loadLibrary() calls into a static initializer block in the class with the native methods, to ensure that it is always executed exactly once:

class Foo {

    static {
        System.loadLibrary('foo');
    }

    public Foo() {
    }

}

Issue in installing php7.2-mcrypt

@praneeth-nidarshan has covered mostly all the steps, except some:

  • Check if you have pear installed (or install):

$ sudo apt-get install php-pear

  • Install, if isn't already installed, php7.2-dev, in order to avoid the error:

sh: phpize: not found

ERROR: `phpize’ failed

$ sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev

  • Install mcrypt using pecl:

$ sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1

  • Add the extention extension=mcrypt.so to your php.ini configuration file; if you don't know where it is, search with:

$ sudo php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

Why am I getting "IndentationError: expected an indented block"?

This is just an indentation problem since Python is very strict when it comes to it.

If you are using Sublime, you can select all, click on the lower right beside 'Python' and make sure you check 'Indent using spaces' and choose your Tab Width to be consistent, then Convert Indentation to Spaces to convert all tabs to spaces.

MongoDB or CouchDB - fit for production?

We are running CouchDB as a replacemant for MySQL for our shops (70.0000 items/shop, a total of 4 million attributes of all items, cross connections between items).

Our goals were:

  1. Easy replication from a master-db to several clients with different documents.

  2. Fast pre-calculated data like "how many parts do I have with this attribute and that filter, fitting to those conditions"

facts:

  1. Our shops are now running much faster than with MySQL (and mysql-database needed additionaly 1-3 days of pre-calculating (so updating was twice a month), making the data ready for product counting and filtering, CouchDB needs 5 hours, so we could update product data every night)
  2. Setting up (filtered) data distribution & backups to the shop nodes is fast and easy

but also:

  1. Understanding map/reduce and the limits of not having joins is quite hard
  2. No operation on data like "delete where" or "update where" without external programs
  3. Replication works well, unless there is a problem; then it's really hard to find out what was the reason (for beginners)
  4. The installation of CouchDB without binaries (yes there are a some in the wild, but not for every OS/version) could be hard, if you are not a Linux geek. But the CouchDB Community is helpful (#couchdb), and luckily there are companies out there (cloudant, iriscouch) that offer services from free to big business.
  5. CouchDB is moving forward, so there are a lot of changes (improvements) going on that might change they way you work. But basic things remain stable.

As a result: MySQL as a database for data creation and maintaining is reliable and easy to understand and handle. I think we will not change this. But I also don't want to miss the power of CouchDB views and the ease of replication setup.

Production couches sometimes caused trouble after months of work due to misconfiguration and forgotten logrotates (view building takes too long or hangs, replication stops), but never lost data, and always could be easily reset.

Python 3 TypeError: must be str, not bytes with sys.stdout.write()

While the accepted answer will work fine if the bytes you have from your subprocess are encoded using sys.stdout.encoding (or a compatible encoding, like reading from a tool that outputs ASCII and your stdout uses UTF-8), the correct way to write arbitrary bytes to stdout is:

sys.stdout.buffer.write(some_bytes_object)

This will just output the bytes as-is, without trying to treat them as text-in-some-encoding.

Using curl to upload POST data with files

The issue that lead me here turned out to be a basic user error - I wasn't including the @ sign in the path of the file and so curl was posting the path/name of the file rather than the contents. The Content-Length value was therefore 8 rather than the 479 I expected to see given the legnth of my test file.

The Content-Length header will be automatically calculated when curl reads and posts the file.

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --data "@test.xml" -v -X POST https://<url>/<uri/

... < Content-Length: 479 ...

Posting this here to assist other newbies in future.

Pandas - 'Series' object has no attribute 'colNames' when using apply()

When you use df.apply(), each row of your DataFrame will be passed to your lambda function as a pandas Series. The frame's columns will then be the index of the series and you can access values using series[label].

So this should work:

df['D'] = (df.apply(lambda x: myfunc(x[colNames[0]], x[colNames[1]]), axis=1))

Returning first x items from array

You can use array_slice function, but do you will use another values? or only the first 5? because if you will use only the first 5 you can use the LIMIT on SQL.

Getting value from JQUERY datepicker

You could do it as follows - with validation just to ensure that the datepicker is bound to the element.

}

What is the height of iPhone's onscreen keyboard?

I used the following approach for determining the frame of the keyboard in iOS 7.1.

In the init method of my view controller, I registered for the UIKeyboardDidShowNotification:

NSNotificationCenter *center = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[center addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardOnScreen:) name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];

Then, I used the following code in keyboardOnScreen: to gain access to the frame of the keyboard. This code gets the userInfo dictionary from the notification and then accesses the NSValue associated with UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey. You can then access the CGRect and convert it to the coordinates of the view of your view controller. From there, you can perform any calculations you need based on that frame.

-(void)keyboardOnScreen:(NSNotification *)notification 
 {
        NSDictionary *info  = notification.userInfo;
        NSValue      *value = info[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];

        CGRect rawFrame      = [value CGRectValue];
        CGRect keyboardFrame = [self.view convertRect:rawFrame fromView:nil];

        NSLog(@"keyboardFrame: %@", NSStringFromCGRect(keyboardFrame));
 }

Swift

And the equivalent implementation with Swift:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardDidShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardDidShowNotification, object: nil)


@objc
func keyboardDidShow(notification: Notification) {
    guard let info = notification.userInfo else { return }
    guard let frameInfo = info[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else { return }
    let keyboardFrame = frameInfo.cgRectValue
    print("keyboardFrame: \(keyboardFrame)")
}

ValueError: object too deep for desired array while using convolution

Get the height and width of the browser viewport without scrollbars using jquery?

Using jQuery ...

$(document).height() & $(window).height() will return the same values ... the key is to reset body's padding and margin so that you get no scrolling.

<!--

body {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    position: relative;
}

-->

Hope this helps.

How do I clone a job in Jenkins?

All the answers here are super helpful but miss one very weird bug about Jenkins. After you have edited the new job configurations, sometimes if your zoom level is too high, you may not see the save or apply button option. The button is present on the page and hidden by your zoom level, you have to zoom out until you see the button at the bottom left of your page.

Strange, I know!

Java JSON serialization - best practice

Have your tried json-io (https://github.com/jdereg/json-io)?

This library allows you to serialize / deserialize any Java object graph, including object graphs with cycles in them (e.g., A->B, B->A). It does not require your classes to implement any particular interface or inherit from any particular Java class.

In addition to serialization of Java to JSON (and JSON to Java), you can use it to format (pretty print) JSON:

String niceFormattedJson = JsonWriter.formatJson(jsonString)

Find the number of columns in a table

Well I tried Nathan Koop's answer and it didn't work for me. I changed it to the following and it did work:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE table_name = 'table_name'

It also didn't work if I put USE 'database_name' nor WHERE table_catalog = 'database_name' AND table_name' = 'table_name'. I actually will be happy to know why.

Getting Chrome to accept self-signed localhost certificate

As of March 2020, on MacOS Catalina using Chrome 81, this has changed once you create a valid certificate using openssl as outlined above.

First, I browsed to my site using Safari and clicked on the link at the bottom of the the warning page that allows me to Access the Site Anyway. This added the certificate to my Mac Keychain (ie Keychain.app). Safari then would let me view the page. Chrome showed that the certificate was trusted, but wouldn't let me view the page. I continued to get the CERTIFICATE_INVALID error.

In Keychain, select All Items in the pane on the bottom left. Then search for your localhost DNS name (ie myhost.example.com).

Double click on your certificate. It’ll open an edit dialog for your cert.

Change "When using this Certificate" to "Always Trust"

This was totally counterintuitive because SSL was already set to Always Trust, presumably by Safari when the cert was added. Chrome only started working once I changed it globally to Always Trust. When I changed it back, it stopped working.

Does Python have a toString() equivalent, and can I convert a db.Model element to String?

You should define the __unicode__ method on your model, and the template will call it automatically when you reference the instance.

What's a good way to extend Error in JavaScript?

The only standard field Error object has is the message property. (See MDN, or EcmaScript Language Specification, section 15.11) Everything else is platform specific.

Mosts environments set the stack property, but fileName and lineNumber are practically useless to be used in inheritance.

So, the minimalistic approach is:

function MyError(message) {
    this.name = 'MyError';
    this.message = message;
    this.stack = (new Error()).stack;
}
MyError.prototype = new Error;  // <-- remove this if you do not 
                                //     want MyError to be instanceof Error

You could sniff the stack, unshift unwanted elements from it and extract information like fileName and lineNumber, but doing so requires information about the platform JavaScript is currently running upon. Most cases that is unnecessary -- and you can do it in post-mortem if you really want.

Safari is a notable exception. There is no stack property, but the throw keyword sets sourceURL and line properties of the object that is being thrown. Those things are guaranteed to be correct.

Test cases I used can be found here: JavaScript self-made Error object comparison.

Pandas How to filter a Series

Another way is to first convert to a DataFrame and use the query method (assuming you have numexpr installed):

import pandas as pd

test = {
383:    3.000000,
663:    1.000000,
726:    1.000000,
737:    9.000000,
833:    8.166667
}

s = pd.Series(test)

Using Node.JS, how do I read a JSON file into (server) memory?

At least in Node v8.9.1, you can just do

var json_data = require('/path/to/local/file.json');

and access all the elements of the JSON object.

How to divide two columns?

Presumably, those columns are integer columns - which will be the reason as the result of the calculation will be of the same type.

e.g. if you do this:

SELECT 1 / 2

you will get 0, which is obviously not the real answer. So, convert the values to e.g. decimal and do the calculation based on that datatype instead.

e.g.

SELECT CAST(1 AS DECIMAL) / 2

gives 0.500000

Sorting options elements alphabetically using jQuery

What I'd do is:

  1. Extract the text and value of each <option> into an array of objects;
  2. Sort the array;
  3. Update the <option> elements with the array contents in order.

To do that with jQuery, you could do this:

var options = $('select.whatever option');
var arr = options.map(function(_, o) { return { t: $(o).text(), v: o.value }; }).get();
arr.sort(function(o1, o2) { return o1.t > o2.t ? 1 : o1.t < o2.t ? -1 : 0; });
options.each(function(i, o) {
  o.value = arr[i].v;
  $(o).text(arr[i].t);
});

Here is a working jsfiddle.

edit — If you want to sort such that you ignore alphabetic case, you can use the JavaScript .toUpperCase() or .toLowerCase() functions before comparing:

arr.sort(function(o1, o2) {
  var t1 = o1.t.toLowerCase(), t2 = o2.t.toLowerCase();

  return t1 > t2 ? 1 : t1 < t2 ? -1 : 0;
});

How do I copy folder with files to another folder in Unix/Linux?

You are looking for the cp command. You need to change directories so that you are outside of the directory you are trying to copy.

If the directory you're copying is called dir1 and you want to copy it to your /home/Pictures folder:

cp -r dir1/ ~/Pictures/

Linux is case-sensitive and also needs the / after each directory to know that it isn't a file. ~ is a special character in the terminal that automatically evaluates to the current user's home directory. If you need to know what directory you are in, use the command pwd.

When you don't know how to use a Linux command, there is a manual page that you can refer to by typing:

man [insert command here]

at a terminal prompt.

Also, to auto complete long file paths when typing in the terminal, you can hit Tab after you've started typing the path and you will either be presented with choices, or it will insert the remaining part of the path.

How do I check if a string contains another string in Swift?

Extension way

Swift 4

extension String {
    func contains(find: String) -> Bool{
        return self.range(of: find) != nil
    }
    func containsIgnoringCase(find: String) -> Bool{
        return self.range(of: find, options: .caseInsensitive) != nil
    }
}

var value = "Hello world"

print(value.contains("Hello")) // true
print(value.contains("bo"))    // false

print(value.containsIgnoringCase(find: "hello"))    // true
print(value.containsIgnoringCase(find: "Hello"))    // true
print(value.containsIgnoringCase(find: "bo"))       // false

Generally Swift 4 has contains method however it available from iOS 8.0+


Swift 3.1

You can write extension contains: and containsIgnoringCase for String

extension String { 

   func contains(_ find: String) -> Bool{
     return self.range(of: find) != nil
   }

   func containsIgnoringCase(_ find: String) -> Bool{
     return self.range(of: find, options: .caseInsensitive) != nil 
   }
 }

Older Swift version

extension String {

    func contains(find: String) -> Bool{
       return self.rangeOfString(find) != nil
     }

    func containsIgnoringCase(find: String) -> Bool{
       return self.rangeOfString(find, options: NSStringCompareOptions.CaseInsensitiveSearch) != nil
     }
}

Example:

var value = "Hello world"

print(value.contains("Hello")) // true
print(value.contains("bo"))    // false

print(value.containsIgnoringCase("hello"))    // true
print(value.containsIgnoringCase("Hello"))    // true
print(value.containsIgnoringCase("bo"))       // false

when do you need .ascx files and how would you use them?

Ascx-files are called User Controls and are meant for reusability and also for making complex aspx-pages less complex (lift out some part of the page). They could also be beneficial for something called donut caching, that is when you would like to cache a certain part of a page.

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

The short answer is yes the "new" keyword is incredibly important as when you use it the object data is stored on the heap as opposed to the stack, which is most important!

C++ Array Of Pointers

If you don't use the STL, then the code looks a lot bit like C.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <new>

template< class T >
void append_to_array( T *&arr, size_t &n, T const &obj ) {
    T *tmp = static_cast<T*>( std::realloc( arr, sizeof(T) * (n+1) ) );
    if ( tmp == NULL ) throw std::bad_alloc( __FUNCTION__ );
       // assign things now that there is no exception
    arr = tmp;
    new( &arr[ n ] ) T( obj ); // placement new
    ++ n;
}

T can be any POD type, including pointers.

Note that arr must be allocated by malloc, not new[].

build maven project with propriatery libraries included

Create a new folder, let's say local-maven-repo at the root of your Maven project.

Just add a local repo iside your <project> of your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>local-maven-repo</id>
        <url>file:///${project.basedir}/local-maven-repo</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then for each external jar you want to install, go at the root of your project and execute:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=[GROUP] -DartifactId=[ARTIFACT] -Dversion=[VERS] -Durl=file:./local-maven-repo/ -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=[FILE_PATH]

How can I use Bash syntax in Makefile targets?

There is a way to do this without explicitly setting your SHELL variable to point to bash. This can be useful if you have many makefiles since SHELL isn't inherited by subsequent makefiles or taken from the environment. You also need to be sure that anyone who compiles your code configures their system this way.

If you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash and answer 'no' to the prompt, your system will not use dash as the default shell. It will then point to bash (at least in Ubuntu). Note that using dash as your system shell is a bit more efficient though.

Pass value to iframe from a window

What you have to do is to append the values as parameters in the iframe src (URL).

E.g. <iframe src="some_page.php?somedata=5&more=bacon"></iframe>

And then in some_page.php file you use php $_GET['somedata'] to retrieve it from the iframe URL. NB: Iframes run as a separate browser window in your file.

How do I do an OR filter in a Django query?

You want to make filter dynamic then you have to use Lambda like

from django.db.models import Q

brands = ['ABC','DEF' , 'GHI']

queryset = Product.objects.filter(reduce(lambda x, y: x | y, [Q(brand=item) for item in brands]))

reduce(lambda x, y: x | y, [Q(brand=item) for item in brands]) is equivalent to

Q(brand=brands[0]) | Q(brand=brands[1]) | Q(brand=brands[2]) | .....

How to pass arguments and redirect stdin from a file to program run in gdb?

If you want to have bare run command in gdb to execute your program with redirections and arguments, you can use set args:

% gdb ./a.out
(gdb) set args arg1 arg2 <file
(gdb) run

I was unable to achieve the same behaviour with --args parameter, gdb fiercely escapes the redirections, i.e.

% gdb --args echo 1 2 "<file"
(gdb) show args
Argument list to give program being debugged when it is started is "1 2 \<file".
(gdb) run
...
1 2 <file
...

This one actually redirects the input of gdb itself, not what we really want here

% gdb --args echo 1 2 <file

Example for boost shared_mutex (multiple reads/one write)?

Since C++ 17 (VS2015) you can use the standard for read-write locks:

#include <shared_mutex>

typedef std::shared_mutex Lock;
typedef std::unique_lock< Lock > WriteLock;
typedef std::shared_lock< Lock > ReadLock;

Lock myLock;


void ReadFunction()
{
    ReadLock r_lock(myLock);
    //Do reader stuff
}

void WriteFunction()
{
     WriteLock w_lock(myLock);
     //Do writer stuff
}

For older version, you can use boost with the same syntax:

#include <boost/thread/locks.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/shared_mutex.hpp>

typedef boost::shared_mutex Lock;
typedef boost::unique_lock< Lock >  WriteLock;
typedef boost::shared_lock< Lock >  ReadLock;

How to predict input image using trained model in Keras?

That's because you're getting the numeric value associated with the class. For example if you have two classes cats and dogs, Keras will associate them numeric values 0 and 1. To get the mapping between your classes and their associated numeric value, you can use

>>> classes = train_generator.class_indices    
>>> print(classes)
    {'cats': 0, 'dogs': 1}

Now you know the mapping between your classes and indices. So now what you can do is

if classes[0][0] == 1: prediction = 'dog' else: prediction = 'cat'

Also, if you're using jQuery Validate, you can put these two lines under if ($('#myForm').valid()).

What is the difference between the | and || or operators?

By their mathematical definition, OR and AND are binary operators; they verify the LHS and RHS conditions regardless, similarly to | and &.

|| and && alter the properties of the OR and AND operators by stopping them when the LHS condition isn't fulfilled.

JPA CriteriaBuilder - How to use "IN" comparison operator

If I understand well, you want to Join ScheduleRequest with User and apply the in clause to the userName property of the entity User.

I'd need to work a bit on this schema. But you can try with this trick, that is much more readable than the code you posted, and avoids the Join part (because it handles the Join logic outside the Criteria Query).

List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String> ();
for (User u : usersList) {
    myList.add(u.getUsername());
}
Expression<String> exp = scheduleRequest.get("createdBy");
Predicate predicate = exp.in(myList);
criteria.where(predicate);

In order to write more type-safe code you could also use Metamodel by replacing this line:

Expression<String> exp = scheduleRequest.get("createdBy");

with this:

Expression<String> exp = scheduleRequest.get(ScheduleRequest_.createdBy);

If it works, then you may try to add the Join logic into the Criteria Query. But right now I can't test it, so I prefer to see if somebody else wants to try.


Not a perfect answer though may be code snippets might help.

        addWhereInClause(queryBuilder, conditionColumnName,
                conditionColumnValues);
        queryBuilder.select();
        return queryBuilder.getResultList();

    }


private <T> void addWhereInClause(QueryBuilder<T> queryBuilder,
            String conditionColumnName, Serializable... conditionColumnValues) {

        Path<Object> path = queryBuilder.root.get(conditionColumnName);

How to conditionally take action if FINDSTR fails to find a string

I presume you want to copy C:\OtherFolder\fileToCheck.bat to C:\MyFolder if the existing file in C:\MyFolder is either missing entirely, or if it is missing "stringToCheck".

FINDSTR sets ERRORLEVEL to 0 if the string is found, to 1 if it is not. It also sets errorlevel to 1 if the file is missing. It also prints out each line that matches. Since you are trying to use it as a condition, I presume you don't need or want to see any of the output. The 1st thing I would suggest is to redirect both the normal and error output to nul using >nul 2>&1.

Solution 1 (mostly the same as previous answers)

You can use IF ERRORRLEVEL N to check if the errorlevel is >= N. Or you can use IF NOT ERRORLEVEL N to check if errorlevel is < N. In your case you want the former.

findstr /c:"stringToCheck" "c:\MyFolder\fileToCheck.bat" >nul 2>&1
if errorlevel 1 xcopy "C:\OtherFolder\fileToCheck.bat" "c:\MyFolder"

Solution 2

You can test for a specific value of errorlevel by using %ERRORLEVEL%. You can probably check if the value is equal to 1, but it might be safer to check if the value is not equal to 0, since it is only set to 0 if the file exists and it contains the string.

findstr /c:"stringToCheck" "c:\MyFolder\fileToCheck.bat" >nul 2>&1
if not %errorlevel% == 0 xcopy "C:\OtherFolder\fileToCheck.bat" "c:\MyFolder"

or

findstr /c:"stringToCheck" "c:\MyFolder\fileToCheck.bat" >nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% neq 0 xcopy "C:\OtherFolder\fileToCheck.bat" "c:\MyFolder"

Solution 3

There is a very compact syntax to conditionally execute a command based on the success or failure of the previous command: cmd1 && cmd2 || cmd3 which means execute cmd2 if cmd1 was successful (errorlevel=0), else execute cmd3 if cmd1 failed (errorlevel<>0). You can use && alone, or || alone. All the commands need to be on the same line. If you need to conditionally execute multiple commands you can use multiple lines by adding parentheses

cmd1 && (
   cmd2
   cmd3
) || (
   cmd4
   cmd5
)

So for your case, all you need is

findstr /c:"stringToCheck" "c:\MyFolder\fileToCheck.bat" >nul 2>&1 || xcopy "C:\OtherFolder\fileToCheck.bat" "c:\MyFolder"

But beware - the || will respond to the return code of the last command executed. In my earlier pseudo code the || will obviously fire if cmd1 fails, but it will also fire if cmd1 succeeds but then cmd3 fails.

So if your success block ends with a command that may fail, then you should append a harmless command that is guaranteed to succeed. I like to use (CALL ), which is harmless, and always succeeds. It also is handy that it sets the ERRORLEVEL to 0. There is a corollary (CALL) that always fails and sets ERRORLEVEL to 1.

Entry point for Java applications: main(), init(), or run()?

Java has a special static method:

public static void main(String[] args) { ... }

which is executed in a class when the class is started with a java command line:

would execute said method in the class "Class" if it existed.

public void run() { ... }

is required by the Runnable interface, or inherited from the Thread class when creating new threads.

Simple PHP Pagination script

Some of the tutorials I found that are easy to understand are:

It makes way more sense to break up your list into page-sized chunks, and only query your database one chunk at a time. This drastically reduces server processing time and page load time, as well as gives your user smaller pieces of info to digest, so he doesn't choke on whatever crap you're trying to feed him. The act of doing this is called pagination.

A basic pagination routine seems long and scary at first, but once you close your eyes, take a deep breath, and look at each piece of the script individually, you will find it's actually pretty easy stuff

The script:

// find out how many rows are in the table 
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM numbers";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];

// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 10;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);

// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) {
   // cast var as int
   $currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage'];
} else {
   // default page num
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
   // set current page to last page
   $currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
   // set current page to first page
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// the offset of the list, based on current page 
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;

// get the info from the db 
$sql = "SELECT id, number FROM numbers LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

// while there are rows to be fetched...
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   // echo data
   echo $list['id'] . " : " . $list['number'] . "<br />";
} // end while

/******  build the pagination links ******/
// range of num links to show
$range = 3;

// if not on page 1, don't show back links
if ($currentpage > 1) {
   // show << link to go back to page 1
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=1'><<</a> ";
   // get previous page num
   $prevpage = $currentpage - 1;
   // show < link to go back to 1 page
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$prevpage'><</a> ";
} // end if 

// loop to show links to range of pages around current page
for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) {
   // if it's a valid page number...
   if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) {
      // if we're on current page...
      if ($x == $currentpage) {
         // 'highlight' it but don't make a link
         echo " [<b>$x</b>] ";
      // if not current page...
      } else {
         // make it a link
         echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$x'>$x</a> ";
      } // end else
   } // end if 
} // end for

// if not on last page, show forward and last page links        
if ($currentpage != $totalpages) {
   // get next page
   $nextpage = $currentpage + 1;
    // echo forward link for next page 
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$nextpage'>></a> ";
   // echo forward link for lastpage
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$totalpages'>>></a> ";
} // end if
/****** end build pagination links ******/
?>

This tutorial is intended for developers who wish to give their users the ability to step through a large number of database rows in manageable chunks instead of the whole lot in one go.

How to convert CharSequence to String?

There is a subtle issue here that is a bit of a gotcha.

The toString() method has a base implementation in Object. CharSequence is an interface; and although the toString() method appears as part of that interface, there is nothing at compile-time that will force you to override it and honor the additional constraints that the CharSequence toString() method's javadoc puts on the toString() method; ie that it should return a string containing the characters in the order returned by charAt().

Your IDE won't even help you out by reminding that you that you probably should override toString(). For example, in intellij, this is what you'll see if you create a new CharSequence implementation: http://puu.sh/2w1RJ. Note the absence of toString().

If you rely on toString() on an arbitrary CharSequence, it should work provided the CharSequence implementer did their job properly. But if you want to avoid any uncertainty altogether, you should use a StringBuilder and append(), like so:

final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(charSequence.length());
sb.append(charSequence);
return sb.toString();

What is the difference between "screen" and "only screen" in media queries?

To style for many smartphones with smaller screens, you could write:

@media screen and (max-width:480px) { … } 

To block older browsers from seeing an iPhone or Android phone style sheet, you could write:

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px;) { … }

        $bin = substr($bin, 0, strlen($bin) - 1);
        return $bin;
    }
    function binary_decode($bin){
        $char = explode(' ', $bin);
        $nstr = '';
        foreach($char as $ch) $nstr .= chr(bindec($ch));
        return $nstr;
    }

Usage:

$bin = binary_encode("String Here");
$str = binary_decode("1010011 1110100 1110010 1101001 1101110 1100111 100000 1001000 1100101 1110010 1100101");

How to find the php.ini file used by the command line?

Somtimes things aren't always as they seem when in comes to config files in general. So here I'm applying my usual methods for exploring what files are opened by a process.

I use a very powerful and useful command-line program called strace to show me what's really going on behind my back!

$ strace -o strace.log php --version
$ grep php.ini strace.log

Strace digs out kernel (system) calls that your program makes and dumps the output into the file specified by -o

It's easy to use grep to search for occurrences of php.ini in this log. It's pretty obvious looking at the following typical response to see what is going on.

open("/usr/bin/php.ini", O_RDONLY)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/php.ini", O_RDONLY)          = 3
lstat("/etc/php.ini", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=69105, ...}) = 0

What is the best (idiomatic) way to check the type of a Python variable?

I think it might be preferred to actually do

if isinstance(x, str):
    do_something_with_a_string(x)
elif isinstance(x, dict):
    do_somethting_with_a_dict(x)
else:
    raise ValueError

2 Alternate forms, depending on your code one or the other is probably considered better than that even. One is to not look before you leap

try:
  one, two = tupleOrValue
except TypeError:
  one = tupleOrValue
  two = None

The other approach is from Guido and is a form of function overloading which leaves your code more open ended.

jQuery - Check if DOM element already exists

This should work for all elements regardless of when they are generated.

if($('some_element').length == 0) {
}

write your code in the ajax callback functions and it should work fine.

How to push both key and value into an Array in Jquery

I think you need to define an object and then push in array

var obj = {};
obj[name] = val;
ary.push(obj);

PLS-00201 - identifier must be declared

you should give permission on your db

grant execute on (packageName or tableName) to user;

PostgreSQL: FOREIGN KEY/ON DELETE CASCADE

A foreign key with a cascade delete means that if a record in the parent table is deleted, then the corresponding records in the child table will automatically be deleted. This is called a cascade delete.

You are saying in a opposite way, this is not that when you delete from child table then records will be deleted from parent table.

UPDATE 1:

ON DELETE CASCADE option is to specify whether you want rows deleted in a child table when corresponding rows are deleted in the parent table. If you do not specify cascading deletes, the default behaviour of the database server prevents you from deleting data in a table if other tables reference it.

If you specify this option, later when you delete a row in the parent table, the database server also deletes any rows associated with that row (foreign keys) in a child table. The principal advantage to the cascading-deletes feature is that it allows you to reduce the quantity of SQL statements you need to perform delete actions.

So it's all about what will happen when you delete rows from Parent table not from child table.

So in your case when user removes entries from CATs table then rows will be deleted from books table. :)

Hope this helps you :)

Python Error: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'NoneType'

I got a similar error with '/' operand while processing images. I discovered the folder included a text file created by the 'XnView' image viewer. So, this kind of error occurs when some object is not the kind of object expected.

How to delete $_POST variable upon pressing 'Refresh' button on browser with PHP?

How about using $_POST = array(), which nullifies the data. The browser will still ask to reload, but there will be no data in the $_POST superglobal.

How to add a href link in PHP?

There is no need to invoke PHP for this. Just put it directly into the HTML:

Laravel Unknown Column 'updated_at'

Nice answer by Alex and Sameer, but maybe just additional info on why is necessary to put

public $timestamps = false;

Timestamps are nicely explained on official Laravel page:

By default, Eloquent expects created_at and updated_at columns to exist on your >tables. If you do not wish to have these columns automatically managed by >Eloquent, set the $timestamps property on your model to false.

How to change Toolbar home icon color

I solved it programmatically using this code:

final Drawable upArrow = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
upArrow.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(upArrow);

Revision 1:

Starting from API 23 (Marshmallow) the drawable resource abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha is changed to abc_ic_ab_back_material.

How to configure PostgreSQL to accept all incoming connections

Configuration all files with postgres 12 on centos:

step 1: search and edit file

sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf

press "i" and at line IPv4 change

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0            md5

step 2: search and edit file postgresql.conf

sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/postgresql.conf

add last line: listen_addresses = '*' :wq! (save file) - step 3: restart

systemctl restart postgresql-12.service

Xcode 6 iPhone Simulator Application Support location

The simulator puts the file in ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/... but the path after /Devices is different for everyone.

Use this handy method. It returns the path of the temporary directory for the current user and takes no argument.

NSString * NSTemporaryDirectory ( void );

So in my ViewController class I usually put this line in my viewDidLoad just for a reference when I need to grab my CoreData stored file. Hope this helps.

  NSLog(@"FILE PATH :%@", NSTemporaryDirectory());

(Note: to go to the path, from the finder menu click on Go and type ~/Library to open hidden directory then in the Finder Window you can click on the path shown on your console.)

Is there a sleep function in JavaScript?

A naive, CPU-intensive method to block execution for a number of milliseconds:

/**
* Delay for a number of milliseconds
*/
function sleep(delay) {
    var start = new Date().getTime();
    while (new Date().getTime() < start + delay);
}

git remove merge commit from history

Do git rebase -i <sha before the branches diverged> this will allow you to remove the merge commit and the log will be one single line as you wanted. You can also delete any commits that you do not want any more. The reason that your rebase wasn't working was that you weren't going back far enough.

WARNING: You are rewriting history doing this. Doing this with changes that have been pushed to a remote repo will cause issues. I recommend only doing this with commits that are local.

Reload parent window from child window

window.parent.opener.location.reload();

Where does Internet Explorer store saved passwords?

I found the answer. IE stores passwords in two different locations based on the password type:

  • Http-Auth: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials, in encrypted files
  • Form-based: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2, encrypted with the url

From a very good page on NirSoft.com:

Starting from version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, Microsoft completely changed the way that passwords are saved. In previous versions (4.0 - 6.0), all passwords were saved in a special location in the Registry known as the "Protected Storage". In version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, passwords are saved in different locations, depending on the type of password. Each type of passwords has some limitations in password recovery:

  • AutoComplete Passwords: These passwords are saved in the following location in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2 The passwords are encrypted with the URL of the Web sites that asked for the passwords, and thus they can only be recovered if the URLs are stored in the history file. If you clear the history file, IE PassView won't be able to recover the passwords until you visit again the Web sites that asked for the passwords. Alternatively, you can add a list of URLs of Web sites that requires user name/password into the Web sites file (see below).

  • HTTP Authentication Passwords: These passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials, together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords. Due to security limitations, IE PassView can recover these passwords only if you have administrator rights.

In my particular case it answers the question of where; and I decided that I don't want to duplicate that. I'll continue to use CredRead/CredWrite, where the user can manage their passwords from within an established UI system in Windows.

Configure hibernate (using JPA) to store Y/N for type Boolean instead of 0/1

To even do better boolean mapping to Y/N, add to your hibernate configuration:

<!-- when using type="yes_no" for booleans, the line below allow booleans in HQL expressions: -->
<property name="hibernate.query.substitutions">true 'Y', false 'N'</property>

Now you can use booleans in HQL, for example:

"FROM " + SomeDomainClass.class.getName() + " somedomainclass " +
"WHERE somedomainclass.someboolean = false"

How do I add PHP code/file to HTML(.html) files?

You can modify .htaccess like others said, but the fastest solution is to rename the file extension to .php
