Form Submit Execute JavaScript Best Practice?

Attach an event handler to the submit event of the form. Make sure it cancels the default action.

Quirks Mode has a guide to event handlers, but you would probably be better off using a library to simplify the code and iron out the differences between browsers. All the major ones (such as YUI and jQuery) include event handling features, and there is a large collection of tiny event libraries.

Here is how you would do it in YUI 3:

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.4.1/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
<script>
    YUI().use('event', function (Y) {
        Y.one('form').on('submit', function (e) {
            // Whatever else you want to do goes here
            e.preventDefault();
        });
    });
</script>

Make sure that the server will pick up the slack if the JavaScript fails for any reason.

Sass .scss: Nesting and multiple classes?

If that is the case, I think you need to use a better way of creating a class name or a class name convention. For example, like you said you want the .container class to have different color according to a specific usage or appearance. You can do this:

SCSS

.container {
  background: red;

  &--desc {
    background: blue;
  }

  // or you can do a more specific name
  &--blue {
    background: blue;
  }

  &--red {
    background: red;
  }
}

CSS

.container {
  background: red;
}

.container--desc {
  background: blue;
}

.container--blue {
  background: blue;
}

.container--red {
  background: red;
}

The code above is based on BEM Methodology in class naming conventions. You can check this link: BEM — Block Element Modifier Methodology

Creating for loop until list.length

In Python you can iterate over the list itself:

for item in my_list:
   #do something with item

or to use indices you can use xrange():

for i in xrange(1,len(my_list)):    #as indexes start at zero so you 
                                    #may have to use xrange(len(my_list))
    #do something here my_list[i]

There's another built-in function called enumerate(), which returns both item and index:

for index,item in enumerate(my_list):
    # do something here

examples:

In [117]: my_lis=list('foobar')

In [118]: my_lis
Out[118]: ['f', 'o', 'o', 'b', 'a', 'r']

In [119]: for item in my_lis:
    print item
   .....:     
f
o
o
b
a
r

In [120]: for i in xrange(len(my_lis)):
    print my_lis[i]
   .....:     
f
o
o
b
a
r

In [122]: for index,item in enumerate(my_lis):
    print index,'-->',item
   .....:     
0 --> f
1 --> o
2 --> o
3 --> b
4 --> a
5 --> r

PHP - remove all non-numeric characters from a string

You can use preg_replace in this case;

$res = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", "", "Every 6 Months" );

$res return 6 in this case.

If want also to include decimal separator or thousand separator check this example:

$res = preg_replace("/[^0-9.]/", "", "$ 123.099");

$res returns "123.099" in this case

Include period as decimal separator or thousand separator: "/[^0-9.]/"

Include coma as decimal separator or thousand separator: "/[^0-9,]/"

Include period and coma as decimal separator and thousand separator: "/[^0-9,.]/"

The controller for path was not found or does not implement IController

Not sure if this hits the solution from a different angle to the accepted answer, but I found that one of my controllers in the Areas section was sitting in the wrong namespace. Correcting the namespace to:

Areas.{AreaName}.Controller

fixed the issue for me.

I suspect the key factor was to have all the controllers within a given area share the same namespace.

Centering in CSS Grid

I know this question is a couple years old, but I am surprised to find that no one suggested:

   text-align: center;

this is a more universal property than justify-content, and is definitely not unique to grid, but I find that when dealing with text, which is what this question specifically asks about, that it aligns text to the center with-out affecting the space between grid items, or the vertical centering. It centers text horizontally where its stands on its vertical axis. I also find it to remove a layer of complexity that justify-content and align-items adds. justify-content and align-items affects the entire grid item or items, text-align centers the text without affecting the container it is in. Hope this helps.

System.Threading.Timer in C# it seems to be not working. It runs very fast every 3 second

I would just do:

private static Timer timer;
 private static void Main()
 {
   timer = new Timer(_ => OnCallBack(), null, 1000 * 10,Timeout.Infinite); //in 10 seconds
   Console.ReadLine();
 }

  private static void OnCallBack()
  {
    timer.Dispose();
    Thread.Sleep(3000); //doing some long operation
    timer = new Timer(_ => OnCallBack(), null, 1000 * 10,Timeout.Infinite); //in 10 seconds
  }

And ignore the period parameter, since you're attempting to control the periodicy yourself.


Your original code is running as fast as possible, since you keep specifying 0 for the dueTime parameter. From Timer.Change:

If dueTime is zero (0), the callback method is invoked immediately.

key_load_public: invalid format

So, after update I had the same issue. I was using PEM key_file without extension and simply adding .pem fixed my issue. Now the file is key_file.pem.

Avoid browser popup blockers

My use case: In my react app, Upon user click there is an API call performed to the backend. Based on the response, new tab is opened with the api response added as params to the new tab URL (in same domain).

The only caveat in my use case is that it takes more for 1 second for the API response to be received. Hence pop-up blocker shows up (if it is active) when opening up URL in a new tab.

To circumvent the above described issue, here is the sample code,

var new_tab=window.open()
axios.get('http://backend-api').then(response=>{
    const url="http://someurl"+"?response"
    new_tab.location.href=url;
}).catch(error=>{
    //catch error
})

Summary: Create an empty tab (as above line 1) and when the API call is completed, you can fill up the tab with the url and skip the popup blocker.

"Char cannot be dereferenced" error

If Character.isLetter(ch) looks a bit wordy/ugly you can use a static import.

import static java.lang.Character.*;


if(isLetter(ch)) {

} else if(isDigit(ch)) {

} 

Angular2 RC5: Can't bind to 'Property X' since it isn't a known property of 'Child Component'

There are multiple possible causes for this error:

1) When you put the property 'x' inside brackets you are trying to bind to it. Therefore first thing to check is if the property 'x' is defined in your component with an Input() decorator

Your html file:

<body [x]="...">

Your class file:

export class YourComponentClass {

  @Input()
  x: string;
  ...
}

(make sure you also have the parentheses)

2) Make sure you registered your component/directive/pipe classes in NgModule:

@NgModule({
  ...
  declarations: [
    ...,
    YourComponentClass
  ],
  ...
})

See https://angular.io/guide/ngmodule#declare-directives for more details about declare directives.

3) Also happens if you have a typo in your angular directive. For example:

<div *ngif="...">
     ^^^^^

Instead of:

<div *ngIf="...">

This happens because under the hood angular converts the asterisk syntax to:

<div [ngIf]="...">

How to include js and CSS in JSP with spring MVC

Put your style.css directly into the webapp/css folder, not into the WEB-INF folder.

Then add the following code into your spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml

<mvc:resources mapping="/css/**" location="/css/" />

and then add following code into your jsp page

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css"/>

I hope it will work.

Generate UML Class Diagram from Java Project

How about the Omondo Plugin for Eclipse. I have used it and I find it to be quite useful. Although if you are generating diagrams for large sources, you might have to start Eclipse with more memory.

Mongoose delete array element in document and save

You can also do the update directly in MongoDB without having to load the document and modify it using code. Use the $pull or $pullAll operators to remove the item from the array :

Favorite.updateOne( {cn: req.params.name}, { $pullAll: {uid: [req.params.deleteUid] } } )

(you can also use updateMany for multiple documents)

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/pullAll/

iPhone/iPad browser simulator?

EDIT 2020: Most of these are basically just to test resolution stuff, some of them even outdated, sadly, mobile browser development went sideways with desktop (especially in Apple), therefore one can't really "emulate" a real phone with these as mentioned with comment.

To emulate real phones, often the best choice is to download a desktop app which, for Windows, is usually paid/freemium, on Mac just use the Xcode one (but I doubt Mac people are looking for this Q/A).

Freemium online easy to use that I found recently is Appetize.io it seems to really render the screen according to network, but honestly I didn't really dig into whether it also has identical features and indentically missing features as real iOS.

Online simulators / emulators I use

1) recombu

Fine simulator which - unlike resizing browser window to mobile phone dimensions - acts same as a smart phone. Don't be confused that you can't edit address bar in safari - just open deveolper tools (usually F12) and rewrite iframe's source URL to yours.
Link: http://recombu.com/mobile/interactive/ios7-demo/

2) responsimulator

Seems to work like recombu, but you can open url directly by text input and you can zoom in/out.
Link: http://www.responsimulator.com/

3) transmog

This one seems to process the webpage, but it emulates old iPhone - still handy sometimes.
Link: http://transmog.net/iphone-simulator/mobile-web-browser-emulator.php

X) google it / internet search for it

Always use google (or other internet searchers) to check for other simulators/emulators and new versions.
Link with example google search for this one:
https://www.google.cz/search?q=online+iphone+emulator

Browser device mode

If you open your browser's developer's tools (in Chrome F12), there will probably be an option to toggle device mode (in Chrome it is the little smartphone icon at top-left).
chrome device mode icon

After choosing this option GUI will change and will provide option to select device to simulate (in Chrome it is at the top - select option "Device"), after selecting device, refreshing the page is often adviced to ensure simulator's accuracy.

Convert digits into words with JavaScript

I spent a while developing a better solution to this. It can handle very big numbers but once they get over 16 digits you have pass the number in as a string. Something about the limit of JavaScript numbers.

ubuntu "No space left on device" but there is tons of space

It's possible that you've run out of memory or some space elsewhere and it prompted the system to mount an overflow filesystem, and for whatever reason, it's not going away.

Try unmounting the overflow partition:

umount /tmp

or

umount overflow

Vue-router redirect on page not found (404)

I think you should be able to use a default route handler and redirect from there to a page outside the app, as detailed below:

const ROUTER_INSTANCE = new VueRouter({
    mode: "history",
    routes: [
        { path: "/", component: HomeComponent },
        // ... other routes ...
        // and finally the default route, when none of the above matches:
        { path: "*", component: PageNotFound }
    ]
})

In the above PageNotFound component definition, you can specify the actual redirect, that will take you out of the app entirely:

Vue.component("page-not-found", {
    template: "",
    created: function() {
        // Redirect outside the app using plain old javascript
        window.location.href = "/my-new-404-page.html";
    }
}

You may do it either on created hook as shown above, or mounted hook also.

Please note:

  1. I have not verified the above. You need to build a production version of app, ensure that the above redirect happens. You cannot test this in vue-cli as it requires server side handling.

  2. Usually in single page apps, server sends out the same index.html along with app scripts for all route requests, especially if you have set <base href="/">. This will fail for your /404-page.html unless your server treats it as a special case and serves the static page.

Let me know if it works!

Update for Vue 3 onward:

You'll need to replace the '*' path property with '/:pathMatch(.*)*' if you're using Vue 3 as the old catch-all path of '*' is no longer supported. The route would then look something like this:

{ path: '/:pathMatch(.*)*', component: PathNotFound },

See the docs for more info on this update.

Call a REST API in PHP

You can access any REST API with PHPs cURL Extension. However, the API Documentation (Methods, Parameters etc.) must be provided by your Client!

Example:

// Method: POST, PUT, GET etc
// Data: array("param" => "value") ==> index.php?param=value

function CallAPI($method, $url, $data = false)
{
    $curl = curl_init();

    switch ($method)
    {
        case "POST":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

            if ($data)
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
            break;
        case "PUT":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
            break;
        default:
            if ($data)
                $url = sprintf("%s?%s", $url, http_build_query($data));
    }

    // Optional Authentication:
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    $result = curl_exec($curl);

    curl_close($curl);

    return $result;
}

How do I remove a file from the FileList

Thanks @Nicholas Anderson simple and straight , here is your code applied and working at my code using jquery.

HTML .

<input class="rangelog btn border-aero" id="file_fr" name="file_fr[]" multiple type="file" placeholder="{$labels_helpfiles_placeholder_file}">
<span style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;" onclick="cleanInputs($('#file_fr'))"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i> Empty chosen files</span>

JS CODE

   function cleanInputs(fileEle){
    $(fileEle).val("");
    var parEle = $(fileEle).parent();
    var newEle = $(fileEle).clone()
    $(fileEle).remove();
    $(parEle).prepend(newEle);
}

Disable automatic sorting on the first column when using jQuery DataTables

In the newer version of datatables (version 1.10.7) it seems things have changed. The way to prevent DataTables from automatically sorting by the first column is to set the order option to an empty array.

You just need to add the following parameter to the DataTables options:

"order": [] 

Set up your DataTable as follows in order to override the default setting:

$('#example').dataTable( {
    "order": [],
    // Your other options here...
} );

That will override the default setting of "order": [[ 0, 'asc' ]].

You can find more details regarding the order option here: https://datatables.net/reference/option/order

How to create timer events using C++ 11?

The asynchronous solution from Edward:

  • create new thread
  • sleep in that thread
  • do the task in that thread

is simple and might just work for you.

I would also like to give a more advanced version which has these advantages:

  • no thread startup overhead
  • only a single extra thread per process required to handle all timed tasks

This might be in particular useful in large software projects where you have many task executed repetitively in your process and you care about resource usage (threads) and also startup overhead.

Idea: Have one service thread which processes all registered timed tasks. Use boost io_service for that.

Code similar to: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tuttimer2/src.html

#include <cstdio>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

int main()
{
  boost::asio::io_service io;

  boost::asio::deadline_timer t(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(1));
  t.async_wait([](const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/){
    printf("Printed after 1s\n"); });

  boost::asio::deadline_timer t2(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(1));
  t2.async_wait([](const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/){
    printf("Printed after 1s\n"); });

  // both prints happen at the same time,
  // but only a single thread is used to handle both timed tasks
  // - namely the main thread calling io.run();

  io.run();

  return 0;
}

What do the different readystates in XMLHttpRequest mean, and how can I use them?

kieron's answer contains w3schools ref. to which nobody rely , bobince's answer gives link , which actually tells native implementation of IE ,

so here is the original documentation quoted to rightly understand what readystate represents :

The XMLHttpRequest object can be in several states. The readyState attribute must return the current state, which must be one of the following values:

UNSENT (numeric value 0)
The object has been constructed.

OPENED (numeric value 1)
The open() method has been successfully invoked. During this state request headers can be set using setRequestHeader() and the request can be made using the send() method.

HEADERS_RECEIVED (numeric value 2)
All redirects (if any) have been followed and all HTTP headers of the final response have been received. Several response members of the object are now available.

LOADING (numeric value 3)
The response entity body is being received.

DONE (numeric value 4)
The data transfer has been completed or something went wrong during the transfer (e.g. infinite redirects).

Please Read here : W3C Explaination Of ReadyState

Force sidebar height 100% using CSS (with a sticky bottom image)?

I was facing the same problem as Jon. TheLibzter put me on the right track, but the image that has to stay at the bottom of the sidebar was not included. So I made some adjustments...

Important:

  • Positioning of the div which contains the sidebar and the content (#bodyLayout). This should be relative.
  • Positioning of the div that has to stay at the bottom of the sidbar (#sidebarBottomDiv). This should be absolute.
  • The width of the content + the width of the sidebar must be equal to the width of the page (#container)

Here's the css:

    #container
    {
        margin: auto;
        width: 940px;
    }
    #bodyLayout
    {
        position: relative;
        width: 100%;
        padding: 0;
    }
    #header
    {
        height: 95px;
        background-color: blue;
        color: white;
    }
    #sidebar
    {
        background-color: yellow;
    }
    #sidebarTopDiv
    {
        float: left;
        width: 245px;
        color: black;
    }

git with development, staging and production branches

How to fill in proxy information in cntlm config file?

The solution takes two steps!

First, complete the user, domain, and proxy fields in cntlm.ini. The username and domain should probably be whatever you use to log in to Windows at your office, eg.

Username            employee1730
Domain              corporate
Proxy               proxy.infosys.corp:8080

Then test cntlm with a command such as

cntlm.exe -c cntlm.ini -I -M http://www.bbc.co.uk

It will ask for your password (again whatever you use to log in to Windows_). Hopefully it will print 'http 200 ok' somewhere, and print your some cryptic tokens authentication information. Now add these to cntlm.ini, eg:

Auth            NTLM
PassNT          A2A7104B1CE00000000000000007E1E1
PassLM          C66000000000000000000000008060C8

Finally, set the http_proxy environment variable in Windows (assuming you didn't change with the Listen field which by default is set to 3128) to the following

http://localhost:3128

How to make clang compile to llvm IR

If you have multiple files and you don't want to have to type each file, I would recommend that you follow these simple steps (I am using clang-3.8 but you can use any other version):

  1. generate all .ll files

    clang-3.8 -S -emit-llvm *.c
    
  2. link them into a single one

    llvm-link-3.8 -S -v -o single.ll *.ll
    
  3. (Optional) Optimise your code (maybe some alias analysis)

    opt-3.8 -S -O3 -aa -basicaaa -tbaa -licm single.ll -o optimised.ll
    
  4. Generate assembly (generates a optimised.s file)

    llc-3.8 optimised.ll
    
  5. Create executable (named a.out)

    clang-3.8 optimised.s
    

super() raises "TypeError: must be type, not classobj" for new-style class

Alright, it's the usual "super() cannot be used with an old-style class".

However, the important point is that the correct test for "is this a new-style instance (i.e. object)?" is

>>> class OldStyle: pass
>>> instance = OldStyle()
>>> issubclass(instance.__class__, object)
False

and not (as in the question):

>>> isinstance(instance, object)
True

For classes, the correct "is this a new-style class" test is:

>>> issubclass(OldStyle, object)  # OldStyle is not a new-style class
False
>>> issubclass(int, object)  # int is a new-style class
True

The crucial point is that with old-style classes, the class of an instance and its type are distinct. Here, OldStyle().__class__ is OldStyle, which does not inherit from object, while type(OldStyle()) is the instance type, which does inherit from object. Basically, an old-style class just creates objects of type instance (whereas a new-style class creates objects whose type is the class itself). This is probably why the instance OldStyle() is an object: its type() inherits from object (the fact that its class does not inherit from object does not count: old-style classes merely construct new objects of type instance). Partial reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9699961/42973.

PS: The difference between a new-style class and an old-style one can also be seen with:

>>> type(OldStyle)  # OldStyle creates objects but is not itself a type
classobj
>>> isinstance(OldStyle, type)
False
>>> type(int)  # A new-style class is a type
type

(old-style classes are not types, so they cannot be the type of their instances).

How can I style an Android Switch?

You can define the drawables that are used for the background, and the switcher part like this:

<Switch
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:thumb="@drawable/switch_thumb"
    android:track="@drawable/switch_bg" />

Now you need to create a selector that defines the different states for the switcher drawable. Here the copies from the Android sources:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_disabled_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_pressed_holo_light" />
    <item android:state_checked="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_activated_holo_light" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/switch_thumb_holo_light" />
</selector>

This defines the thumb drawable, the image that is moved over the background. There are four ninepatch images used for the slider:

The deactivated version (xhdpi version that Android is using)The deactivated version
The pressed slider: The pressed slider
The activated slider (on state):The activated slider
The default version (off state): enter image description here

There are also three different states for the background that are defined in the following selector:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_disabled_holo_dark" />
    <item android:state_focused="true"  android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_focused_holo_dark" />
    <item                               android:drawable="@drawable/switch_bg_holo_dark" />
</selector>

The deactivated version: The deactivated version
The focused version: The focused version
And the default version:the default version

To have a styled switch just create this two selectors, set them to your Switch View and then change the seven images to your desired style.

Convert a list of characters into a string

besides str.join which is the most natural way, a possibility is to use io.StringIO and abusing writelines to write all elements in one go:

import io

a = ['a','b','c','d']

out = io.StringIO()
out.writelines(a)
print(out.getvalue())

prints:

abcd

When using this approach with a generator function or an iterable which isn't a tuple or a list, it saves the temporary list creation that join does to allocate the right size in one go (and a list of 1-character strings is very expensive memory-wise).

If you're low in memory and you have a lazily-evaluated object as input, this approach is the best solution.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null

Instead of document or $(document) to avoid JQuery, you can add a TimeOut to validate the objects. TimeOut is executed after loading all objects within the page and other events...

setTimeout(function () { 

var str = document.getElementById("cal_preview").value;
var str1 = document.getElementById("year").value;
....
....
....

}, 0);

Sort a Map<Key, Value> by values

Best thing is to convert HashMap to TreeMap. TreeMap sort keys on its own. If you want to sort on values than quick fix can be you can switch values with keys if your values are not duplicates.

Write HTML file using Java

I had also problems in finding something simple to satisfy my needs so I decided to write my own library (with MIT license). It's mainly based on composite and builder pattern.

A basic declarative example is:

import static com.github.manliogit.javatags.lang.HtmlHelper.*;

html5(attr("lang -> en"),
  head(
    meta(attr("http-equiv -> Content-Type", "content -> text/html; charset=UTF-8")),
    title("title"),
    link(attr("href -> xxx.css", "rel -> stylesheet"))
  )
).render();

A fluent example is:

ul()
  .add(li("item 1"))
  .add(li("item 2"))
  .add(li("item 3"))     

You can check more examples here

I also created an on line converter to transform every html snippet (from complex bootstrap template to simple single snippet) on the fly (i.e. html -> javatags)

Running Java Program from Command Line Linux

If your Main class is in a package called FileManagement, then try:

java -cp . FileManagement.Main

in the parent folder of the FileManagement folder.

If your Main class is not in a package (the default package) then cd to the FileManagement folder and try:

java -cp . Main

Source file 'Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs' could not be found

This rings a bell. I came across a similar problem in the past,

  • if you expand Properties folder of the project can you see 'AssemblyInfo.cs' if not that is where the problem is. An assembly info file consists of all of the build options for the project, including version, company name, GUID, compilers options....etc

You can generate an assemblyInfo.cs by right clicking the project and chosing properties. In the application tab fill in the details and press save, this will generate the assemblyInfo.cs file for you. If you build your project after that, it should work.

Cheers, Tarun

Update 2016-07-08:

For Visual Studio 2010 through the most recent version (2015 at time of writing), LandedGently's comment still applies:

After you select project Properties and the Application tab as @Tarun mentioned, there is a button "Assembly Information..." which opens another dialog. You need to at least fill in the Title here. VS will add the GUID and versions, but if the title is empty, it will not create the AssemblyInfo.cs file.

Excel VBA - Pass a Row of Cell Values to an Array and then Paste that Array to a Relative Reference of Cells

When i Tried your Code i got en Error when i wanted to fill the Array.

you can try to fill the Array like This.

Sub Testing_Data()
Dim k As Long, S2 As Worksheet, VArray

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set S2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With S2
    VArray = .Range("A1:A" & .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
End With
For k = 2 To UBound(VArray, 1)
    S2.Cells(k, "B") = VArray(k, 1) / 100
    S2.Cells(k, "C") = VArray(k, 1) * S2.Cells(k, "B")
Next

End Sub

How to group by month from Date field using sql

I used the FORMAT function to accomplish this:

select
 FORMAT(Closing_Date, 'yyyy_MM') AS Closing_Month
 , count(*) cc 
FROM
 MyTable
WHERE
 Defect_Status1 IS NOT NULL
 AND Closing_Date >= '2011-12-01'
 AND Closing_Date < '2016-07-01' 
GROUP BY FORMAT(Closing_Date, 'yyyy_MM')
ORDER BY Closing_Month

Warning: X may be used uninitialized in this function

You get the warning because you did not assign a value to one, which is a pointer. This is undefined behavior.

You should declare it like this:

Vector* one = malloc(sizeof(Vector));

or like this:

Vector one;

in which case you need to replace -> operator with . like this:

one.a = 12;
one.b = 13;
one.c = -11;

Finally, in C99 and later you can use designated initializers:

Vector one = {
   .a = 12
,  .b = 13
,  .c = -11
};

How to write to a CSV line by line?

I would simply write each line to a file, since it's already in a CSV format:

write_file = "output.csv"
with open(write_file, "w") as output:
    for line in text:
        output.write(line + '\n')

I can't recall how to write lines with line-breaks at the moment, though :p

Also, you might like to take a look at this answer about write(), writelines(), and '\n'.

What is the difference between response.sendRedirect() and request.getRequestDispatcher().forward(request,response)

forward

Control can be forward to resources available within the server from where the call is made. This transfer of control is done by the container internally and browser / client is not involved. This is the major difference between forward and sendRedirect. When the forward is done, the original request and response objects are transfered along with additional parameters if needed.

redirect

Control can be redirect to resources to different servers or domains. This transfer of control task is delegated to the browser by the container. That is, the redirect sends a header back to the browser / client. This header contains the resource url to be redirected by the browser. Then the browser initiates a new request to the given url. Since it is a new request, the old request and response object is lost.

For example, sendRedirect can transfer control from http://google.com to http://anydomain.com but forward cannot do this.

‘session’ is not lost in both forward and redirect.

To feel the difference between forward and sendRedirect visually see the address bar of your browser, in forward, you will not see the forwarded address (since the browser is not involved) in redirect, you can see the redirected address.

git add, commit and push commands in one?

Best way to get identity of inserted row?

@@IDENTITY is the last identity inserted using the current SQL Connection. This is a good value to return from an insert stored procedure, where you just need the identity inserted for your new record, and don't care if more rows were added afterward.

SCOPE_IDENTITY is the last identity inserted using the current SQL Connection, and in the current scope -- that is, if there was a second IDENTITY inserted based on a trigger after your insert, it would not be reflected in SCOPE_IDENTITY, only the insert you performed. Frankly, I have never had a reason to use this.

IDENT_CURRENT(tablename) is the last identity inserted regardless of connection or scope. You could use this if you want to get the current IDENTITY value for a table that you have not inserted a record into.

Android - how to replace part of a string by another string?

In kotlin there is no replaceAll, so I created this loop to replace repeated values ??in a string or any variable.

 var someValue = "https://www.google.com.br/"
    while (someValue.contains(".")) {
        someValue = someValue.replace(".", "")
    }
Log.d("newValue :", someValue)
// in that case the stitches have been removed
//https://wwwgooglecombr/

MySQL compare DATE string with string from DATETIME field

SELECT * FROM `calendar` WHERE startTime like '2010-04-29%'

You can also use comparison operators on MySQL dates if you want to find something after or before. This is because they are written in such a way (largest value to smallest with leading zeros) that a simple string sort will sort them correctly.

document.getElementById('btnid').disabled is not working in firefox and chrome

Setting a max character length in CSS

With Chrome you can set the number of lines displayed with "-webkit-line-clamp" :

     display: -webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    -webkit-line-clamp: 3;  /* Number of lines displayed before it truncate */
     overflow: hidden;

So for me it is to use in an extension so it is perfect, more information here: https://medium.com/mofed/css-line-clamp-the-good-the-bad-and-the-straight-up-broken-865413f16e5

target input by type and name (selector)

You want a multiple attribute selector

$("input[type='checkbox'][name='ProductCode']").each(function(){ ...

or

$("input:checkbox[name='ProductCode']").each(function(){ ...

It would be better to use a CSS class to identify those that you want to select however as a lot of the modern browsers implement the document.getElementsByClassName method which will be used to select elements and be much faster than selecting by the name attribute

HTML entity for check mark

There is HTML entity &#10003 but it doesn't work in some older browsers.

In Java, how do I convert a byte array to a string of hex digits while keeping leading zeros?

A simple approach would be to check how many digits are output by Integer.toHexString() and add a leading zero to each byte if needed. Something like this:

public static String toHexString(byte[] bytes) {
    StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder();

    for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
        String hex = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bytes[i]);
        if (hex.length() == 1) {
            hexString.append('0');
        }
        hexString.append(hex);
    }

    return hexString.toString();
}

How to do a redirect to another route with react-router?

How to do a redirect to another route with react-router?

For example, when a user clicks a link <Link to="/" />Click to route</Link> react-router will look for / and you can use Redirect to and send the user somewhere else like the login route.

From the docs for ReactRouterTraining:

Rendering a <Redirect> will navigate to a new location. The new location will override the current location in the history stack, like server-side redirects (HTTP 3xx) do.

import { Route, Redirect } from 'react-router'

<Route exact path="/" render={() => (
  loggedIn ? (
    <Redirect to="/dashboard"/>
  ) : (
    <PublicHomePage/>
  )
)}/>

to: string, The URL to redirect to.

<Redirect to="/somewhere/else"/>

to: object, A location to redirect to.

<Redirect to={{
  pathname: '/login',
  search: '?utm=your+face',
  state: { referrer: currentLocation }
}}/>

Readably print out a python dict() sorted by key

An easy way to print the sorted contents of the dictionary, in Python 3:

>>> dict_example = {'c': 1, 'b': 2, 'a': 3}
>>> for key, value in sorted(dict_example.items()):
...   print("{} : {}".format(key, value))
... 
a : 3
b : 2
c : 1

The expression dict_example.items() returns tuples, which can then be sorted by sorted():

>>> dict_example.items()
dict_items([('c', 1), ('b', 2), ('a', 3)])
>>> sorted(dict_example.items())
[('a', 3), ('b', 2), ('c', 1)]

Below is an example to pretty print the sorted contents of a Python dictionary's values.

for key, value in sorted(dict_example.items(), key=lambda d_values: d_values[1]): 
    print("{} : {}".format(key, value))

Equivalent of LIMIT for DB2

Theres these available options:-

DB2 has several strategies to cope with this problem.
You can use the "scrollable cursor" in feature.
In this case you can open a cursor and, instead of re-issuing a query you can FETCH forward and backward.
This works great if your application can hold state since it doesn't require DB2 to rerun the query every time.
You can use the ROW_NUMBER() OLAP function to number rows and then return the subset you want.
This is ANSI SQL 
You can use the ROWNUM pseudo columns which does the same as ROW_NUMBER() but is suitable if you have Oracle skills.
You can use LIMIT and OFFSET if you are more leaning to a mySQL or PostgreSQL dialect.

Algorithm for Determining Tic Tac Toe Game Over

I don't know Java that well, but I do know C, so I tried adk's magic square idea (along with Hardwareguy's search restriction).

// tic-tac-toe.c
// to compile:
//  % gcc -o tic-tac-toe tic-tac-toe.c
// to run:
//  % ./tic-tac-toe

typedef struct { unsigned char of[NumMarks]; } Sum;

// a cell in the board, which has a particular value
#define MAGIC_NUMBER 15
typedef struct {

Sum row[NUM_ROWS] = {0};
Sum col[NUM_COLS] = {0};
Sum nw_diag = {0};
Sum ne_diag = {0};

// initialize the board values so any row, column, or diagonal adds to

Actually, thinking about it, you don't need a magic square, just a count for each row/column/diagonal. This is a little easier than generalizing a magic square to n × n matrices, since you just need to count to n.

Closing Applications

What role do they play when exiting an application in C#?

The same as every other application. Basically they get returned to the caller. Irrelvant if ythe start was an iicon double click. Relevant is the call is a batch file that decides whether the app worked on the return code. SO, unless you write a program that needs this, the return dcode IS irrelevant.

But what is the difference?

One comes from environment one from the System.Windows.Forms?.Application. Functionall there should not bbe a lot of difference.

How to access the php.ini from my CPanel?

I had the same issue in cPanel 92.0.3 and it was solved through this solution:

In cPanel go to the below directory

software --> select PHP version--> option--> upload_max_filesize 

Then choose the optional size to upload your files.

Java serialization - java.io.InvalidClassException local class incompatible

@DanielChapman gives a good explanation of serialVersionUID, but no solution. the solution is this: run the serialver program on all your old classes. put these serialVersionUID values in your current versions of the classes. as long as the current classes are serial compatible with the old versions, you should be fine. (note for future code: you should always have a serialVersionUID on all Serializable classes)

if the new versions are not serial compatible, then you need to do some magic with a custom readObject implementation (you would only need a custom writeObject if you were trying to write new class data which would be compatible with old code). generally speaking adding or removing class fields does not make a class serial incompatible. changing the type of existing fields usually will.

Of course, even if the new class is serial compatible, you may still want a custom readObject implementation. you may want this if you want to fill in any new fields which are missing from data saved from old versions of the class (e.g. you have a new List field which you want to initialize to an empty list when loading old class data).

Get top most UIViewController

The best solution for me is an extension with a function. Create a swift file with this extension

First is the UIWindow extension:

public extension UIWindow {
    var visibleViewController: UIViewController? {
        return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: self.rootViewController)
    }

    static func visibleVC(vc: UIViewController?) -> UIViewController? {
        if let navigationViewController = vc as? UINavigationController {
            return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: navigationViewController.visibleViewController)
        } else if let tabBarVC = vc as? UITabBarController {
            return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: tabBarVC.selectedViewController)
        } else {
            if let presentedVC = vc?.presentedViewController {
                return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: presentedVC)
            } else {
                return vc
            }
        }
    }
}

inside that file add function

func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate
    if let window = appDelegate!.window {
        return window?.visibleViewController
    }
    return nil
}

And if you want to use it, you can call it anywhere. Example:

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
      if let topVC = visibleViewController() {
             //show some label or text field 
    }
}

File code is like this:

import UIKit

public extension UIWindow {
    var visibleViewController: UIViewController? {
        return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: self.rootViewController)
    }

    static func visibleVC(vc: UIViewController?) -> UIViewController? {
        if let navigationViewController = vc as? UINavigationController {
            return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: navigationViewController.visibleViewController)
        } else if let tabBarVC = vc as? UITabBarController {
            return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: tabBarVC.selectedViewController)
        } else {
            if let presentedVC = vc?.presentedViewController {
                return UIWindow.visibleVC(vc: presentedVC)
            } else {
                return vc
            }
        }
    }
}

func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate
    if let window = appDelegate!.window {
        return window?.visibleViewController
    }
    return nil
}

How to use jQuery with TypeScript

If you want to use jquery in a web application (e.g. React) and jquery is already loaded with <script src="jquery-3.3.1.js"...

On the webpage you can do:

npm install --save-dev @types/query
and the use it with:
let $: JQueryStatic = (window as any)["jQuery"];

so, you don't need to load jquery a second time (with npm install --save jquery) but have all the advantages of Typescript

Python - Count elements in list

len() 

it will count the element in the list, tuple and string and dictionary, eg.

>>> mylist = [1,2,3] #list
>>> len(mylist)
3
>>> word = 'hello' # string 
>>> len(word)
5
>>> vals = {'a':1,'b':2} #dictionary
>>> len(vals)
2
>>> tup = (4,5,6) # tuple 
>>> len(tup)
3

To learn Python you can use byte of python , it is best ebook for python beginners.

Using Node.js, Express.js, and Monk

Find a value anywhere in a database

Another way using JOIN and CURSOR:

USE My_Database;

-- Store results in a local temp table so that.  I'm using a
-- local temp table so that I can access it in SP_EXECUTESQL.
create table #tmp (
    tbl nvarchar(max),
    col nvarchar(max),
    val nvarchar(max)   
);

declare @tbl nvarchar(max);
declare @col nvarchar(max);
declare @q nvarchar(max);
declare @search nvarchar(max) = 'my search key';

-- Create a cursor on all columns in the database
declare c cursor for
SELECT tbls.TABLE_NAME, cols.COLUMN_NAME  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS tbls
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS cols
ON tbls.TABLE_NAME = cols.TABLE_NAME

-- For each table and column pair, see if the search value exists.
open c
fetch next from c into @tbl, @col
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
    -- Look for the search key in current table column and if found add it to the results.
    SET @q = 'INSERT INTO #tmp SELECT ''' + @tbl + ''', ''' + @col + ''', ' + @col + ' FROM ' + @tbl + ' WHERE ' + @col + ' LIKE ''%' + @search + '%'''
    EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @q
    fetch next from c into @tbl, @col
end
close c
deallocate c

-- Get results
select * from #tmp

-- Remove local temp table.
drop table #tmp

Magento - How to add/remove links on my account navigation?

The easiest way to remove any link from the My Account panel in Magento is to first copy:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/account/navigation.phtml

to

app/design/frontend/enterprise/YOURSITE/template/customer/account/navigation.phtml

Open the file and fine this line, it should be around line 34:

<?php $_index = 1; ?>

Right below it add this:

 <?php $_count = count($_links); /* Add or Remove Account Left Navigation Links Here -*/
        unset($_links['tags']); /* My Tags */
        unset($_links['invitations']); /* My Invitations */
        unset($_links['enterprise_customerbalance']); /* Store Credit */
        unset($_links['OAuth Customer Tokens']); /* My Applications */
        unset($_links['enterprise_reward']); /* Reward Points */
        unset($_links['giftregistry']); /* Gift Registry */
        unset($_links['downloadable_products']); /* My Downloadable Products */
        unset($_links['recurring_profiles']); /* Recurring Profiles */
        unset($_links['billing_agreements']); /* Billing Agreements */
        unset($_links['enterprise_giftcardaccount']); /* Gift Card Link */
        ?> 

Just remove any of the links here that you DO want to appear.

Facebook user url by id

The marked answer seems outdated and it won't work.

Facebook now only gives unique ID related to app which isn't equal to userId and profileUrl and username will come out to be empty.

Doing me?fields=id,name,links is also depreciated after Graph Version 2.4

The only option now is to request for user_links permission from your developer console.

enter image description here

and the pass it in scope when doing facebook login

scope: ['user_link'] }

or by doing an api call

LINQ: When to use SingleOrDefault vs. FirstOrDefault() with filtering criteria

In my opinion FirstOrDefault is being overused a lot. In the majority of the cases when you’re filtering data you would either expect to get back a collection of elements matching the logical condition or a single unique element by its unique identifier – such as a user, book, post etc... That’s why we can even get as far as saying that FirstOrDefault() is a code smell not because there is something wrong with it but because it’s being used way too often. This blog post explores the topic in details. IMO most of the times SingleOrDefault() is a much better alternative so watch out for this mistake and make sure you use the most appropriate method that clearly represents your contract and expectations.

Python Selenium accessing HTML source

You can simply use the WebDriver object, and access to the page source code via its @property field page_source...

Try this code snippet :-)

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox('path/to/executable')
driver.get('https://some-domain.com')
source = driver.page_source
if 'stuff' in source:
    print('found...')
else:
    print('not in source...')

Shortcut for echo "<pre>";print_r($myarray);echo "</pre>";

Maybe you can build a function / static class Method that does exactly that. I use Kohana which has a nice function called:

Kohana::Debug

That will do what you want. That's reduces it to only one line. A simple function will look like

function debug($input) {
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($input);
    echo "</pre>";
}

CSS Div stretch 100% page height

Here is the solution I finally came up with when using a div as a container for a dynamic background.

  • Remove the z-index for non-background uses.
  • Remove left or right for a full height column.
  • Remove top or bottom for a full width row.

EDIT 1: CSS below has been edited because it did not show correctly in FF and Chrome. moved position:relative to be on the HTML and set the body to height:100% instead of min-height:100%.

EDIT 2: Added extra comments to CSS. Added some more instructions above.

The CSS:

html{
    min-height:100%;/* make sure it is at least as tall as the viewport */
    position:relative;
}
body{
    height:100%; /* force the BODY element to match the height of the HTML element */
}
#cloud-container{
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    bottom:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    overflow:hidden;
    z-index:-1; /* Remove this line if it's not going to be a background! */
}

The html:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
    <div id="cloud-container"></div>
</body>
</html>

Why?

html{min-height:100%;position:relative;}

Without this the cloud-container DIV is removed from the HTML's layout context. position: relative ensures that the DIV remains inside the HTML box when it is drawn so that bottom:0 refers to the bottom of the HTML box. You can also use height:100% on the cloud-container as it now refers to the height of the HTML tag and not the viewport.

Adding a rule in iptables in debian to open a new port

About your command line:

root@debian:/# sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 --jump ACCEPT
root@debian:/# iptables-save
  • You are already authenticated as root so sudo is redundant there.

  • You are missing the -j or --jump just before the ACCEPT parameter (just tought that was a typo and you are inserting it correctly).

About yout question:

If you are inserting the iptables rule correctly as you pointed it in the question, maybe the issue is related to the hypervisor (virtual machine provider) you are using.

If you provide the hypervisor name (VirtualBox, VMWare?) I can further guide you on this but here are some suggestions you can try first:

check your vmachine network settings and:

  • if it is set to NAT, then you won't be able to connect from your base machine to the vmachine.

  • if it is set to Hosted, you have to configure first its network settings, it is usually to provide them an IP in the range 192.168.56.0/24, since is the default the hypervisors use for this.

  • if it is set to Bridge, same as Hosted but you can configure it whenever IP range makes sense for you configuration.

Hope this helps.

CSS root directory

click here for good explaination!

All you need to know about relative file paths:

Starting with "/" returns to the root directory and starts there

Starting with "../" moves one directory backward and starts there

Starting with "../../" moves two directories backward and starts there (and so on...)

To move forward, just start with the first subdirectory and keep moving forward

How to quit android application programmatically

Since API 16 you can use the finishAffinity method, which seems to be pretty close to closing all related activities by its name and Javadoc description:

this.finishAffinity();

Finish this activity as well as all activities immediately below it in the current task that have the same affinity. This is typically used when an application can be launched on to another task (such as from an ACTION_VIEW of a content type it understands) and the user has used the up navigation to switch out of the current task and into its own task. In this case, if the user has navigated down into any other activities of the second application, all of those should be removed from the original task as part of the task switch.

Note that this finish does not allow you to deliver results to the previous activity, and an exception will be thrown if you are trying to do so.


Since API 21 you can use a very similar command

finishAndRemoveTask();

Finishes all activities in this task and removes it from the recent tasks list.

How to convert from java.sql.Timestamp to java.util.Date?

The problem is probably coming from the fact that Date is deprecated.

Consider using

java.util.Calendar

or

Joda-Time

Edit 2015:

Java 8 and later has built-in the new java.time package, which is similar to Joda-Time.

Difference between timestamps with/without time zone in PostgreSQL

Here is an example that should help. If you have a timestamp with a timezone, you can convert that timestamp into any other timezone. If you haven't got a base timezone it won't be converted correctly.

SELECT now(),
   now()::timestamp,
   now() AT TIME ZONE 'CST',
   now()::timestamp AT TIME ZONE 'CST'

Output:

-[ RECORD 1 ]---------------------------
now      | 2018-09-15 17:01:36.399357+03
now      | 2018-09-15 17:01:36.399357
timezone | 2018-09-15 08:01:36.399357
timezone | 2018-09-16 02:01:36.399357+03

"INSERT IGNORE" vs "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE"

Potential danger of INSERT IGNORE. If you are trying to insert VARCHAR value longer then column was defined with - the value will be truncated and inserted EVEN IF strict mode is enabled.

Can angularjs routes have optional parameter values?

Actually I think OZ_ may be somewhat correct.

If you have the route '/users/:userId' and navigate to '/users/' (note the trailing /), $routeParams in your controller should be an object containing userId: "" in 1.1.5. So no the paramater userId isn't completely ignored, but I think it's the best you're going to get.

Pandas conditional creation of a series/dataframe column

If you're working with massive data, a memoized approach would be best:

# First create a dictionary of manually stored values
color_dict = {'Z':'red'}

# Second, build a dictionary of "other" values
color_dict_other = {x:'green' for x in df['Set'].unique() if x not in color_dict.keys()}

# Next, merge the two
color_dict.update(color_dict_other)

# Finally, map it to your column
df['color'] = df['Set'].map(color_dict)

This approach will be fastest when you have many repeated values. My general rule of thumb is to memoize when: data_size > 10**4 & n_distinct < data_size/4

E.x. Memoize in a case 10,000 rows with 2,500 or fewer distinct values.

How do I programmatically click on an element in JavaScript?

Using jQuery you can do exactly the same thing, for example:

$("a").click();

Which will "click" all anchors on the page.

How to capture Curl output to a file?

If you want to store your output into your desktop, follow the below command using post command in git bash.It worked for me.

Could not read JSON: Can not deserialize instance of hello.Country[] out of START_OBJECT token

If you want to avoid using an extra Class and List<Object> genomes you could simply use a Map.

The data structure translates into Map<String, List<Country>>

String resourceEndpoint = "http://api.geonames.org/countryInfoJSON?username=volodiaL";

Map<String, List<Country>> geonames = restTemplate.getForObject(resourceEndpoint, Map.class);

List<Country> countries = geonames.get("geonames");

javascript toISOString() ignores timezone offset

moment.js is great but sometimes you don't want to pull a large number of dependencies for simple things.

The following works as well:

var tzoffset = (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() * 60000; //offset in milliseconds
var localISOTime = (new Date(Date.now() - tzoffset)).toISOString().slice(0, -1);
// => '2015-01-26T06:40:36.181'

The slice(0, -1) gets rid of the trailing Z which represents Zulu timezone and can be replaced by your own.

Is a Python list guaranteed to have its elements stay in the order they are inserted in?

I suppose one thing that may be concerning you is whether or not the entries could change, so that the 2 becomes a different number, for instance. You can put your mind at ease here, because in Python, integers are immutable, meaning they cannot change after they are created.

Not everything in Python is immutable, though. For example, lists are mutable---they can change after being created. So for example, if you had a list of lists

>>> a = [[1], [2], [3]]
>>> a[0].append(7)
>>> a
[[1, 7], [2], [3]]

Here, I changed the first entry of a (I added 7 to it). One could imagine shuffling things around, and getting unexpected things here if you are not careful (and indeed, this does happen to everyone when they start programming in Python in some way or another; just search this site for "modifying a list while looping through it" to see dozens of examples).

It's also worth pointing out that x = x + [a] and x.append(a) are not the same thing. The second one mutates x, and the first one creates a new list and assigns it to x. To see the difference, try setting y = x before adding anything to x and trying each one, and look at the difference the two make to y.

How to dynamically build a JSON object with Python?

You build the object before encoding it to a JSON string:

import json

data = {}
data['key'] = 'value'
json_data = json.dumps(data)

JSON is a serialization format, textual data representing a structure. It is not, itself, that structure.

AngularJS $location not changing the path

If any of you is using the Angular-ui / ui-router, use:$state.go('yourstate') instead of $location. It did the trick for me.

Android translate animation - permanently move View to new position using AnimationListener

You can try this way -

ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "translationX", 100f).apply {
    duration = 2000
    start()
}

Note - view is your view where you want animation.

Determine the line of code that causes a segmentation fault?

Lucas's answer about core dumps is good. In my .cshrc I have:

alias core 'ls -lt core; echo where | gdb -core=core -silent; echo "\n"'

to display the backtrace by entering 'core'. And the date stamp, to ensure I am looking at the right file :(.

Added: If there is a stack corruption bug, then the backtrace applied to the core dump is often garbage. In this case, running the program within gdb can give better results, as per the accepted answer (assuming the fault is easily reproducible). And also beware of multiple processes dumping core simultaneously; some OS's add the PID to the name of the core file.

Under Windows you can use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to ensure that no apps with the specified command line is launched, for example:

wmic process where (name="nmake.exe") get commandline | findstr /i /c:"/f load.mak" /c:"/f build.mak" > NUL && (echo THE BUILD HAS BEEN STARTED ALREADY! > %ALREADY_STARTED% & exit /b 1)

Missing MVC template in Visual Studio 2015

I don't think the accepted answer works anymore. According to Microsoft here, here, and here, has been re-branded to ASP.Net Core. It looks like they've taken down the templates from the general ASP.Net Web Application project type. But now there's a new project type of ASP.Net Core Web Application. enter image description hereI don't see an MVC template for this project type, but I don't think the Core framework has been completely released yet.

Waiting for another flutter command to release the startup lock

Most are saying killall -9 dart but nobody mentioned pkill -f dart which worked for me.

The difference between the 2 is explained here.

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source

This exception will be returned if you attempt to count values in a null collection.

For example the below works when Errors is not null, however if Errors is null then the Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source exception occurs.

if (graphQLResponse.Errors.Count() > 0)

This exception can be avoided by checking for null instead.

if (graphQLResponse.Errors != null)

jquery fill dropdown with json data

This should do the trick:

$($.parseJSON(data.msg)).map(function () {
    return $('<option>').val(this.value).text(this.label);
}).appendTo('#combobox');

Here's the distinction between ajax and getJSON (from the jQuery documentation):

[getJSON] is a shorthand Ajax function, which is equivalent to:

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  dataType: 'json',
  data: data,
  success: callback
});

EDIT: To be clear, part of the problem was that the server's response was returning a json object that looked like this:

{
    "msg": '[{"value":"1","label":"xyz"}, {"value":"2","label":"abc"}]'
}

...So that msg property needed to be parsed manually using $.parseJSON().

How to order by with union in SQL?

Order By is applied after union, so just add an order by clause at the end of the statements:

Select id,name,age
From Student
Where age < 15
Union
Select id,name,age
From Student
Where Name like '%a%'
Order By name

How do I sort an observable collection?

@NielW's answer is the way to go, for real in-place sorting. I wanted to add an slightly altered solution that allows you bypass having to use IComparable:

static class Extensions
{
    public static void Sort<TSource, TKey>(this ObservableCollection<TSource> collection, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector)
    {
        List<TSource> sorted = collection.OrderBy(keySelector).ToList();
        for (int i = 0; i < sorted.Count(); i++)
            collection.Move(collection.IndexOf(sorted[i]), i);
    }
}

now you can call it like most any LINQ method:

myObservableCollection.Sort(o => o.MyProperty);

No provider for HttpClient

Add HttpModule and HttpClientModule in both imports and providers in app.module.ts solved the issue. imports -> import {HttpModule} from "@angular/http"; import {HttpClientModule} from "@angular/common/http";

Parsing a JSON string in Ruby

Just to extend the answers a bit with what to do with the parsed object:

# JSON Parsing example
require "rubygems" # don't need this if you're Ruby v1.9.3 or higher
require "json"

string = '{"desc":{"someKey":"someValue","anotherKey":"value"},"main_item":{"stats":{"a":8,"b":12,"c":10}}}'
parsed = JSON.parse(string) # returns a hash

p parsed["desc"]["someKey"]
p parsed["main_item"]["stats"]["a"]

# Read JSON from a file, iterate over objects
file = open("shops.json")
json = file.read

parsed = JSON.parse(json)

parsed["shop"].each do |shop|
  p shop["id"]
end

Check string for nil & empty

When dealing with passing values from local db to server and vice versa, I was having too much trouble with ?'s and !'s and what not.

So I made a Swift3.0 utility to handle null cases and i can almost totally avoid ?'s and !'s in the code.

func str(_ string: String?) -> String {
    return (string != nil ? string! : "")
}

Ex:-

Before :

    let myDictionary: [String: String] = 
                      ["title": (dbObject?.title != nil ? dbObject?.title! : "")]

After :

    let myDictionary: [String: String] = 
                        ["title": str(dbObject.title)]

and when its required to check for a valid string,

    if !str(dbObject.title).isEmpty {
        //do stuff
    }

This saved me having to go through the trouble of adding and removing numerous ?'s and !'s after writing code that reasonably make sense.

How do I catch a numpy warning like it's an exception (not just for testing)?

Remove warnings.filterwarnings and add:

numpy.seterr(all='raise')

invalid use of incomplete type

The reason is that when instantiating a class template, all its declarations (not the definitions) of its member functions are instantiated too. The class template is instantiated precisely when the full definition of a specialization is required. That is the case when it is used as a base class for example, as in your case.

So what happens is that A<B> is instantiated at

class B : public A<B>

at which point B is not a complete type yet (it is after the closing brace of the class definition). However, A<B>::action's declaration requires B to be complete, because it is crawling in the scope of it:

Subclass::mytype

What you need to do is delaying the instantiation to some point at which B is complete. One way of doing this is to modify the declaration of action to make it a member template.

template<typename T>
void action(T var) {
    (static_cast<Subclass*>(this))->do_action(var);
}

It is still type-safe because if var is not of the right type, passing var to do_action will fail.

CodeIgniter: How to get Controller, Action, URL information

Update

The answer was added was in 2015 and the following methods are deprecated now

$this->router->fetch_class();  in favour of  $this->router->class; 
$this->router->fetch_method(); in favour of  $this->router->method;

Hi you should use the following approach

$this->router->fetch_class(); // class = controller
$this->router->fetch_method(); // action

for this purpose but for using this you need to extend your hook from the CI_Controller and it works like a charm, you should not use uri segments

MySQL Multiple Where Clause

I think that you are after this:

SELECT image_id
FROM list
WHERE (style_id, style_value) IN ((24,'red'),(25,'big'),(27,'round'))
GROUP BY image_id
HAVING count(distinct style_id, style_value)=3

You can't use AND, because values can't be 24 red and 25 big and 27 round at the same time in the same row, but you need to check the presence of style_id, style_value in multiple rows, under the same image_id.

In this query I'm using IN (that, in this particular example, is equivalent to an OR), and I am counting the distinct rows that match. If 3 distinct rows match, it means that all 3 attributes are present for that image_id, and my query will return it.

file_put_contents - failed to open stream: Permission denied

I know that it is a very old question, but I wanted to add the good solution with some in depth explanation. You will have to execute two statements on Ubuntu like systems and then it works like a charm.

Permissions in Linux can be represented with three digits. The first digit defines the permission of the owner of the files. The second digit the permissions of a specific group of users. The third digit defines the permissions for all users who are not the owner nor member of the group.

The webserver is supposed to execute with an id that is a member of the group. The webserver should never run with the same id as the owner of the files and directories. In Ubuntu runs apache under the id www-data. That id should be a member of the group for whom the permissions are specified.

To give the directory in which you want to change the content of files the proper rights, execute the statement:

find %DIR% -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;

.That would imply in the question of the OP that the permissions for the directory %ROOT%/database should be changed accordingly. It is therefor important not to have files within that directory that should never get changed, or removed. It is therefor best practice to create a separate directory for files whose content must be changed.

Reading permissions (4) for a directory means being able to collect all files and directories with their metadata within a directory. Write permissions (2) gives the permission to change the content of the directory. Implying adding and removing files, changing permissions etc.. Execution permission (1) means that you have the right to go into that directory. Without the latter is it impossible to go deeper into the directory. The webserver needs read, write and execute permissions when the content of a file should be changed. Therefor needs the group the digit 7.

The second statement is in the question of the OP:

find %DOCUMENT_ROOT%/database -type f -exec chmod 760 {} \;

Being able to read and write a document is required, but it is not required to execute the file. The 7 is given to the owner of the files, the 6 to the group. The webserver does not need to have the permission to execute the file in order to change its content. Those write permissions should only be given to files in that directory.

All other users should not be given any permission.

For directories that do not require to change its files are group permissions of 5 sufficient. Documentation about permissions and some examples:

https://wiki.debian.org/Permissions

https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/309527-understanding-linux-file-permissions

Is there a way to use SVG as content in a pseudo element :before or :after

Making use of CSS sprites and data uri gives extra interesting benefits like fast loading and less requests AND we get IE8 support by using image/base64:

Codepen sample using SVG

HTML

<div class="div1"></div>
<div class="div2"></div>

CSS

.div1:after, .div2:after {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 80px;
  width: 80px;
  background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20version%3D%221.1%22%20height%3D%2280%22%20width%3D%22160%22%3E%0D%0A%20%20%3Ccircle%20cx%3D%2240%22%20cy%3D%2240%22%20r%3D%2238%22%20stroke%3D%22black%22%20stroke-width%3D%221%22%20fill%3D%22red%22%20%2F%3E%0D%0A%20%20%3Ccircle%20cx%3D%22120%22%20cy%3D%2240%22%20r%3D%2238%22%20stroke%3D%22black%22%20stroke-width%3D%221%22%20fill%3D%22blue%22%20%2F%3E%0D%0A%3C%2Fsvg%3E);
}
.div2:after {
  background-position: -80px 0;
}

For IE8, change to this:

  background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,data......);

An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll

I think your EmpID column is string and you forget to use ' ' in your value.

Because when you write EmpID=" + id.Text, your command looks like EmpID = 12345 instead of EmpID = '12345'

Change your SqlCommand to

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT EmpName FROM Employee WHERE EmpID='" + id.Text +"'", con);

Or as a better way you can (and should) always use parameterized queries. This kind of string concatenations are open for SQL Injection attacks.

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT EmpName FROM Employee WHERE EmpID = @id", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", id.Text);

I think your EmpID column keeps your employee id's, so it's type should some numerical type instead of character.

"TypeError: (Integer) is not JSON serializable" when serializing JSON in Python?

how to generate web service out of wsdl

How about using the wsdl /server or wsdl /serverinterface switches? As far as I understand the wsdl.exe command line properties, that's what you're looking for.

- ADVANCED -

/server

Server switch has been deprecated. Please use /serverInterface instead.
Generate an abstract class for an xml web service implementation using
ASP.NET based on the contracts. The default is to generate client proxy
classes.

On the other hand: why do you want to create obsolete technology solutions? Why not create this web service as a WCF service. That's the current and more modern, much more flexible way to do this!

Marc


UPDATE:

When I use wsdl /server on a WSDL file, I get this file created:

[WebService(Namespace="http://.......")]
public abstract partial class OneCrmServiceType : System.Web.Services.WebService 
{
    /// <remarks/>
    [WebMethod]
    public abstract void OrderCreated(......);
}

This is basically almost exactly the same code that gets generated when you add an ASMX file to your solution (in the code behind file - "yourservice.asmx.cs"). I don't think you can get any closer to creating an ASMX file from a WSDL file.

You can always add the "yourservice.asmx" manually - it doesn't really contain much:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="YourService.asmx.cs" 
      Class="YourServiceNamespace.YourServiceClass" %>

PHP script to loop through all of the files in a directory?

Use the scandir() function:

<?php
    $directory = '/path/to/files';

    if (!is_dir($directory)) {
        exit('Invalid diretory path');
    }

    $files = array();
    foreach (scandir($directory) as $file) {
        if ($file !== '.' && $file !== '..') {
            $files[] = $file;
        }
    }

    var_dump($files);
?>

What is a constant reference? (not a reference to a constant)

First I think int&const icr=i; is just int& icr = i, Modifier 'const' makes no sense(It just means you cannot make the reference refer to other variable).

const int x = 10;
// int& const y = x; // Compiler error here

Second, constant reference just means you cannot change the value of variable through reference.

const int x = 10;
const int& y = x;
//y = 20; // Compiler error here

Third, Constant references can bind right-value. Compiler will create a temp variable to bind the reference.

float x = 10;
const int& y = x;
const int& z = y + 10;
cout << (long long)&x << endl; //print 348791766212
cout << (long long)&y << endl; //print 348791766276
cout << (long long)&z << endl; //print 348791766340

UILabel is not auto-shrinking text to fit label size

In Swift 4 (Programmatically):

let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200.0, height: 200.0))
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
label.numberOfLines = 0

label.text = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."

        } else if 'a' <= d && d <= 'z' {
            v = d - 'a' + 10
        } else if 'A' <= d && d <= 'Z' {
            v = d - 'A' + 10
        } else {
            n = 0; break        
        }
        n *= uint64(10) 
        n += uint64(v)
    }
    return int(n)

        in, _ := strconv.Atoi("9999")

FtpWebRequest Download File

Easiest way

The most trivial way to download a binary file from an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.DownloadFile:

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.DownloadFile(
    "ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip", @"C:\local\path\file.zip");

Advanced options

Use FtpWebRequest, only if you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, progress monitoring, ascii/text transfer mode, resuming transfers, etc). Easy way is to just copy an FTP response stream to FileStream using Stream.CopyTo:

FtpWebRequest request =
    (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;

using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
using (Stream fileStream = File.Create(@"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
{
    ftpStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

Progress monitoring

If you need to monitor a download progress, you have to copy the contents by chunks yourself:

FtpWebRequest request =
    (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");

Downloading folder

If you want to download all files from a remote folder, see
C# Download all files and subdirectories through FTP.

Delete files older than 15 days using PowerShell

If you are having problems with the above examples on a Windows 10 box, try replacing .CreationTime with .LastwriteTime. This worked for me.

Groovy String to Date

The first argument to parse() is the expected format. You have to change that to Date.parse("E MMM dd H:m:s z yyyy", testDate) for it to work. (Note you don't need to create a new Date object, it's a static method)

If you don't know in advance what format, you'll have to find a special parsing library for that. In Ruby there's a library called Chronic, but I'm not aware of a Groovy equivalent. Edit: There is a Java port of the library called jChronic, you might want to check it out.

TNS-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

  4. find OracelServeceXE, OracleXEClrAgeng, OracleXETNSListener
  5. Right click and press Start/Restart
  6. After Completing Process. Check it will work or it will work ;)
  7. Done
  8. All the Best.

Creating csv file with php

Just in case if someone is wondering to save the CSV file to a specific path for email attachments. Then it can be done as follows

I know I have added a lot of comments just for newbies :)

I have added an example so that you can summarize well.

$activeUsers = /** Query to get the active users */

/** Following is the Variable to store the Users data as 
    CSV string with newline character delimiter, 

    its good idea of check the delimiter based on operating system */

$userCSVData = "Name,Email,CreatedAt\n";

/** Looping the users and appending to my earlier csv data variable */
foreach ( $activeUsers as $user ) {
    $userCSVData .= $user->name. "," . $user->email. "," . $user->created_at."\n";
}
/** Here you can use with H:i:s too. But I really dont care of my old file  */
$todayDate  = date('Y-m-d');
/** Create Filname and Path to Store */
$fileName   = 'Active Users '.$todayDate.'.csv';
$filePath   = public_path('uploads/'.$fileName); //I am using laravel helper, in case if your not using laravel then just add absolute or relative path as per your requirements and path to store the file

/** Just in case if I run the script multiple time 
    I want to remove the old file and add new file.

    And before deleting the file from the location I am making sure it exists */
if(file_exists($filePath)){
    unlink($filePath);
}
$fp = fopen($filePath, 'w+');
fwrite($fp, $userCSVData); /** Once the data is written it will be saved in the path given */
fclose($fp);

/** Now you can send email with attachments from the $filePath */

NOTE: The following is a very bad idea to increase the memory_limit and time limit, but I have only added to make sure if anyone faces the problem of connection time out or any other. Make sure to find out some alternative before sticking to it.

You have to add the following at the start of the above script.

ini_set("memory_limit", "10056M");
set_time_limit(0);
ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout', '0');
ini_set('max_execution_time', '0');

How to return a specific status code and no contents from Controller?

This code might work for non-.NET Core MVC controllers:

return Json(new { status = "mer" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

How do I define and use an ENUM in Objective-C?

With current projects you may want to use the NS_ENUM() or NS_OPTIONS() macros.

typedef NS_ENUM(NSUInteger, PlayerState) {

        PLAYER_PLAYING,
        PLAYER_PAUSED
    };

How can I find out the current route in Rails?

You can see all routes via rake:routes (this might help you).

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13]

I got the same error when I was trying to install a package (flask-classful).
I made the mistake of installing anaconda as root. I changed the ownership of the installed anaconda folder and I could install the package successfully.

Use the command chown with option -R to recursively change ownership of the installed anaconda folder like so:

chown -R owner:group /path/to/anaconda

Here owner is your username and group is the group name.

Using Google Text-To-Speech in Javascript

Another option now may be HTML5 text to speech, which is in Chrome 33+ and many others.

Here is a sample:

var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('Hello World');
window.speechSynthesis.speak(msg);

With this, perhaps you do not need to use a web service at all.

How to send a Post body in the HttpClient request in Windows Phone 8?

I implemented it in the following way. I wanted a generic MakeRequest method that could call my API and receive content for the body of the request - and also deserialise the response into the desired type. I create a Dictionary<string, string> object to house the content to be submitted, and then set the HttpRequestMessage Content property with it:

Generic method to call the API:

    private static T MakeRequest<T>(string httpMethod, string route, Dictionary<string, string> postParams = null)
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            HttpRequestMessage requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod(httpMethod), $"{_apiBaseUri}/{route}");

            if (postParams != null)
                requestMessage.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(postParams);   // This is where your content gets added to the request body


            HttpResponseMessage response = client.SendAsync(requestMessage).Result;

            string apiResponse = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            try
            {
                // Attempt to deserialise the reponse to the desired type, otherwise throw an expetion with the response from the api.
                if (apiResponse != "")
                    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(apiResponse);
                else
                    throw new Exception();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new Exception($"An error ocurred while calling the API. It responded with the following message: {response.StatusCode} {response.ReasonPhrase}");
            }
        }
    }

Call the method:

    public static CardInformation ValidateCard(string cardNumber, string country = "CAN")
    { 
        // Here you create your parameters to be added to the request content
        var postParams = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "cardNumber", cardNumber }, { "country", country } };
        // make a POST request to the "cards" endpoint and pass in the parameters
        return MakeRequest<CardInformation>("POST", "cards", postParams);
    }

How to launch an application from a browser?

The correct method is to register your custom URL Protocol in windows registry as follows:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\customurl]
@="Description here"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\customurl\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\customurl\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\customurl\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Path To Your EXE\\ExeName.exe\" \"%1\""

Once the above keys and values are added, from the web page, just call "customurl:\\parameter1=xxx&parameter2=xxx" . You will receive the entire url as the argument in exe, which you need to process inside your exe. Change 'customurl' with the text of your choice.

Customizing Bootstrap CSS template

you can start with this tool, https://themestr.app/theme , seeing how it overwrites the scss variables, you would get an idea what variable impacts what. its the simplest way I think.

example scss genearation:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:200,300,400,700);
$font-family-base:Montserrat;
@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:200,300,400,700);
$headings-font-family:Open Sans;

$enable-grid-classes:false;
$primary:#222222;
$secondary:#666666;
$success:#333333;
$danger:#434343;
$info:#515151;
$warning:#5f5f5f;
$light:#eceeec;
$dark:#111111;

Rails: How do I create a default value for attributes in Rails activerecord's model?

For column types Rails supports out of the box - like the string in this question - the best approach is to set the column default in the database itself as Daniel Kristensen indicates. Rails will introspect on the DB and initialize the object accordingly. Plus, that makes your DB safe from somebody adding a row outside of your Rails app and forgetting to initialize that column.

For column types Rails doesn't support out of the box - e.g. ENUM columns - Rails won't be able to introspect the column default. For these cases you do not want to use after_initialize (it is called every time an object is loaded from the DB as well as every time an object is created using .new), before_create (because it occurs after validation), or before_save (because it occurs upon update too, which is usually not what you want).

Rather, you want to set the attribute in a before_validation on: create, like so:

before_validation :set_status_because_rails_cannot, on: :create

def set_status_because_rails_cannot
  self.status ||= 'P'
end

How to create a Multidimensional ArrayList in Java?

You can have ArrayList with elements which would be ArrayLists itself.

Find integer index of rows with NaN in pandas dataframe

Here is another simpler take:

df = pd.DataFrame([[0,1,3,4,np.nan,2],[3,5,6,np.nan,3,3]])

inds = np.asarray(df.isnull()).nonzero()

(array([0, 1], dtype=int64), array([4, 3], dtype=int64))

Reload chart data via JSON with Highcharts

You can always load a json data

here i defined Chart as namespace

 $.getJSON('data.json', function(data){
                Chart.options.series[0].data = data[0].data;
                Chart.options.series[1].data = data[1].data;
                Chart.options.series[2].data = data[2].data;

                var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(Chart.options);

            });

jQuery datepicker, onSelect won't work

No comma after the last property.

Semicolon after alert(date);

Case on datepicker (not datePicker)

Check your other uppercase / lowercase for the properties.

$(function() {
    $('.date-pick').datepicker( {
        onSelect: function(date) {
            alert(date);
        },
        selectWeek: true,
        inline: true,
        startDate: '01/01/2000',
        firstDay: 1
    });
});

listOfNumbers.get(0);

How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?

For maven projects add following dependancy :

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/servlet-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Reference

For gradle projects:

dependencies {
providedCompile group: 'javax.servlet', name: 'javax.servlet-api', version: '3.0.1'
}

or download javax.servlet.jar and add to your project.

How to send and receive JSON data from a restful webservice using Jersey API

Your use of @PathParam is incorrect. It does not follow these requirements as documented in the javadoc here. I believe you just want to POST the JSON entity. You can fix this in your resource method to accept JSON entity.

@Path("/hello")
public class Hello {

  @POST
  @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
  @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
  public JSONObject sayPlainTextHello(JSONObject inputJsonObj) throws Exception {

    String input = (String) inputJsonObj.get("input");
    String output = "The input you sent is :" + input;
    JSONObject outputJsonObj = new JSONObject();
    outputJsonObj.put("output", output);

    return outputJsonObj;
  }
}

And, your client code should look like this:

  ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
  Client client = Client.create(config);
  client.addFilter(new LoggingFilter());
  WebResource service = client.resource(getBaseURI());
  JSONObject inputJsonObj = new JSONObject();
  inputJsonObj.put("input", "Value");
  System.out.println(service.path("rest").path("hello").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).post(JSONObject.class, inputJsonObj));

jQuery ID starts with

Here you go:

$('td[id^="' + value +'"]')

so if the value is for instance 'foo', then the selector will be 'td[id^="foo"]'.

Note that the quotes are mandatory: [id^="...."].

How do you pass view parameters when navigating from an action in JSF2?

Just add the seen attribute to redirect tag as below:

<redirect include-view-params="true">

        <value>#{myBean.id}</value>
    </view-param>

How do I use floating-point division in bash?

If you found the variant of your preference you can also wrap it into a function.

Here I'm wrapping some bashism into a div function:

One liner:

function div { local _d=${3:-2}; local _n=0000000000; _n=${_n:0:$_d}; local _r=$(($1$_n/$2)); _r=${_r:0:-$_d}.${_r: -$_d}; echo $_r;}

Or multi line:

function div {
  local _d=${3:-2}
  local _n=0000000000
  _n=${_n:0:$_d}
  local _r=$(($1$_n/$2))
  _r=${_r:0:-$_d}.${_r: -$_d}
  echo $_r
}

Now you have the function

div <dividend> <divisor> [<precision=2>]

and use it like

> div 1 2
.50

> div 273 123 5
2.21951

> x=$(div 22 7)
> echo $x
3.14

UPDATE I added a little script which provides you the basic operations with floating point numbers for bash:

Usage:

> add 1.2 3.45
4.65
> sub 1000 .007
999.993
> mul 1.1 7.07
7.7770
> div 10 3
3.
> div 10 3.000
3.333

And here the script:

#!/bin/bash
__op() {
        local z=00000000000000000000000000000000
        local a1=${1%.*}
        local x1=${1//./}
        local n1=$((${#x1}-${#a1}))
        local a2=${2%.*}
        local x2=${2//./}
        local n2=$((${#x2}-${#a2}))
        local n=$n1
        if (($n1 < $n2)); then
                local n=$n2
                x1=$x1${z:0:$(($n2-$n1))}
        fi
        if (($n1 > $n2)); then
                x2=$x2${z:0:$(($n1-$n2))}
        fi
        if [ "$3" == "/" ]; then
                x1=$x1${z:0:$n}
        fi
        local r=$(($x1"$3"$x2))
        local l=$((${#r}-$n))
        if [ "$3" == "*" ]; then
                l=$(($l-$n))
        fi
        echo ${r:0:$l}.${r:$l}
}
add() { __op $1 $2 + ;}
sub() { __op $1 $2 - ;}
mul() { __op $1 $2 "*" ;}
div() { __op $1 $2 / ;}

/** and /* in Java Comments

Java supports two types of comments:

  • /* multiline comment */ : The compiler ignores everything from /* to */. The comment can span over multiple lines.

  • // single line : The compiler ignores everything from // to the end of the line.

Some tool such as javadoc use a special multiline comment for their purpose. For example /** doc comment */ is a documentation comment used by javadoc when preparing the automatically generated documentation, but for Java it's a simple multiline comment.

How to transfer data from JSP to servlet when submitting HTML form

first up on create your jsp file : and write the text field which you want
for ex:

after that create your servlet class:

public class test{

protected void doGet(paramter , paramter){

String name  = request.getparameter("name");
 }

}

How do I execute a stored procedure once for each row returned by query?

Can this not be done with a user-defined function to replicate whatever your stored procedure is doing?

SELECT udfMyFunction(user_id), someOtherField, etc FROM MyTable WHERE WhateverCondition

where udfMyFunction is a function you make that takes in the user ID and does whatever you need to do with it.

See http://www.sqlteam.com/article/user-defined-functions for a bit more background

I agree that cursors really ought to be avoided where possible. And it usually is possible!

(of course, my answer presupposes that you're only interested in getting the output from the SP and that you're not changing the actual data. I find "alters user data in a certain way" a little ambiguous from the original question, so thought I'd offer this as a possible solution. Utterly depends on what you're doing!)

pinpointing "conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value(s)" valgrind message

Use the valgrind option --track-origins=yes to have it track the origin of uninitialized values. This will make it slower and take more memory, but can be very helpful if you need to track down the origin of an uninitialized value.

Update: Regarding the point at which the uninitialized value is reported, the valgrind manual states:

It is important to understand that your program can copy around junk (uninitialised) data as much as it likes. Memcheck observes this and keeps track of the data, but does not complain. A complaint is issued only when your program attempts to make use of uninitialised data in a way that might affect your program's externally-visible behaviour.

From the Valgrind FAQ:

As for eager reporting of copies of uninitialised memory values, this has been suggested multiple times. Unfortunately, almost all programs legitimately copy uninitialised memory values around (because compilers pad structs to preserve alignment) and eager checking leads to hundreds of false positives. Therefore Memcheck does not support eager checking at this time.

Call function with setInterval in jQuery?

jQuery is just a set of helpers/libraries written in Javascript. You can still use all Javascript features, so you can call whatever functions, also from inside jQuery callbacks. So both possibilities should be okay.

How to select rows with NaN in particular column?

@qbzenker provided the most idiomatic method IMO

Here are a few alternatives:

In [28]: df.query('Col2 != Col2') # Using the fact that: np.nan != np.nan
Out[28]:
   Col1  Col2  Col3
1     0   NaN   0.0

In [29]: df[np.isnan(df.Col2)]
Out[29]:
   Col1  Col2  Col3
1     0   NaN   0.0

Getting list of items inside div using Selenium Webdriver

You're asking for all the elements of class facetContainerDiv, of which there is only one (your outer-most div). Why not do

List<WebElement> checks =  driver.findElements(By.class("facetCheck"));
// click the 3rd checkbox
checks.get(2).click();

php $_GET and undefined index

Simple function, works with GET or POST. Plus you can assign a default value.

function GetPost($var,$default='') {
    return isset($_GET[$var]) ? $_GET[$var] : (isset($_POST[$var]) ? $_POST[$var] : $default);
}

how to initialize a char array?

char * msg = new char[65546]();

It's known as value-initialisation, and was introduced in C++03. If you happen to find yourself trapped in a previous decade, then you'll need to use std::fill() (or memset() if you want to pretend it's C).

Note that this won't work for any value other than zero. I think C++0x will offer a way to do that, but I'm a bit behind the times so I can't comment on that.

UPDATE: it seems my ruminations on the past and future of the language aren't entirely accurate; see the comments for corrections.

How do I resolve a path relative to an ASP.NET MVC 4 application root?

How do you clear Apache Maven's cache?

This works on the Spring Tool Suite v 3.1.0.RELEASE, but I'm guessing it's also available on Eclipse as well.

After deleting the artifacts by hand (as stated by palacsint above) in the /username/.m2 directory, re-index the files by doing the following:

Go to:

  • Windows->Preferences->Maven->User Settings menu.

Click the Reindex button next to the Local Repository text box. Click "Apply" then "OK" and you're done.

Connect to Active Directory via LDAP

DC is your domain. If you want to connect to the domain example.com than your dc's are: DC=example,DC=com

You actually don't need any hostname or ip address of your domain controller (There could be plenty of them).

Just imagine that you're connecting to the domain itself. So for connecting to the domain example.com you can simply write

DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://example.com");

And you're done.

You can also specify a user and a password used to connect:

DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://example.com", "username", "password");

Also be sure to always write LDAP in upper case. I had some trouble and strange exceptions until I read somewhere that I should try to write it in upper case and that solved my problems.

The directoryEntry.Path Property allows you to dive deeper into your domain. So if you want to search a user in a specific OU (Organizational Unit) you can set it there.

DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://example.com");
directoryEntry.Path = "LDAP://OU=Specific Users,OU=All Users,OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com";

This would match the following AD hierarchy:

  • com
    • example
      • Users
        • All Users
          • Specific Users

Simply write the hierarchy from deepest to highest.

Now you can do plenty of things

For example search a user by account name and get the user's surname:

DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://example.com");
DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(directoryEntry) {
    PageSize = int.MaxValue,
    Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=AnAccountName))"
};

searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn");

var result = searcher.FindOne();

if (result == null) {
    return; // Or whatever you need to do in this case
}

string surname;

if (result.Properties.Contains("sn")) {
    surname = result.Properties["sn"][0].ToString();
}

Node package ( Grunt ) installed but not available

Other solution is to remove the ubuntu bundler in my case i used:

sudo apt-get remove ruby-bundler 

That worked for me.

Twitter Bootstrap and ASP.NET GridView

Add property of show header in gridview

 <asp:GridView ID="dgvUsers" runat="server" **showHeader="True"** CssClass="table table-hover table-striped" GridLines="None"

<HeaderTemplate>
                   //header column names
</HeaderTemplate>

File input 'accept' attribute - is it useful?

In 2015 the only way I found to make it work for both Chrome and Firefox is to put all possible extensions you want to support, including variants (including the dot in front !):

accept=".jpeg, .jpg, .jpe, .jfif, .jif"

Problem with Firefox: Using the image/jpeg mime type Firefox will only show .jpg files, very strange as if the common .jpeg was not ok...

Whatever you do, be sure to try with files having many different extensions. Maybe it even depends on the OS ... I suppose accept is case insensitive, but maybe not in every browser.

Here is the MDN docs about accept:

accept If the value of the type attribute is file, then this attribute will indicate the types of files that the server accepts, otherwise it will be ignored. The value must be a comma-separated list of unique content type specifiers:

    A file extension starting with the STOP character (U+002E). (e.g. .jpg, .png, .doc).
    A valid MIME type with no extensions.
    audio/* representing sound files. HTML5
    video/* representing video files. HTML5
    image/* representing image files. HTML5

How to convert numbers between hexadecimal and decimal

My solution is a bit like back to basics, but it works without using any built-in functions to convert between number systems.

    public static string DecToHex(long a)
    {
        int n = 1;
        long b = a;
        while (b > 15)
        {
            b /= 16;
            n++;
        }
        string[] t = new string[n];
        int i = 0, j = n - 1;
        do
        {
                 if (a % 16 == 10) t[i] = "A";
            else if (a % 16 == 11) t[i] = "B";
            else if (a % 16 == 12) t[i] = "C";
            else if (a % 16 == 13) t[i] = "D";
            else if (a % 16 == 14) t[i] = "E";
            else if (a % 16 == 15) t[i] = "F";
            else t[i] = (a % 16).ToString();
            a /= 16;
            i++;
        }
        while ((a * 16) > 15);
        string[] r = new string[n];
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            r[i] = t[j];
            j--;
        }
        string res = string.Concat(r);
        return res;
    }

How can I use PHP to dynamically publish an ical file to be read by Google Calendar?

This should be very simple if Google Calendar does not require the *.ics-extension (which will require some URL rewriting in the server).

$ical = "BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:" . md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true)) . "@yourhost.test
DTSTAMP:" . gmdate('Ymd').'T'. gmdate('His') . "Z
DTSTART:19970714T170000Z
DTEND:19970715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR";

//set correct content-type-header
header('Content-type: text/calendar; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=calendar.ics');
echo $ical;
exit;

That's essentially all you need to make a client think that you're serving a iCalendar file, even though there might be some issues regarding caching, text encoding and so on. But you can start experimenting with this simple code.

AES vs Blowfish for file encryption

It is a not-often-acknowledged fact that the block size of a block cipher is also an important security consideration (though nowhere near as important as the key size).

Blowfish (and most other block ciphers of the same era, like 3DES and IDEA) have a 64 bit block size, which is considered insufficient for the large file sizes which are common these days (the larger the file, and the smaller the block size, the higher the probability of a repeated block in the ciphertext - and such repeated blocks are extremely useful in cryptanalysis).

AES, on the other hand, has a 128 bit block size. This consideration alone is justification to use AES instead of Blowfish.

How to get the instance id from within an ec2 instance?

A more contemporary solution.

From Amazon Linux the ec2-metadata command is already installed.

From the terminal

ec2-metadata -help

Will give you the available options

ec2-metadata -i

will return

instance-id: yourid
