Programs & Examples On #Number with delimiter

Converting list to *args when calling function

yes, using *arg passing args to a function will make python unpack the values in arg and pass it to the function.

so:

>>> def printer(*args):
 print args


>>> printer(2,3,4)
(2, 3, 4)
>>> printer(*range(2, 5))
(2, 3, 4)
>>> printer(range(2, 5))
([2, 3, 4],)
>>> 

Array copy values to keys in PHP

Be careful, the solution proposed with $a = array_combine($a, $a); will not work for numeric values.

I for example wanted to have a memory array(128,256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192,16384) to be the keys as well as the values however PHP manual states:

If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the later value for that key will overwrite the previous one. If, however, the arrays contain numeric keys, the later value will not overwrite the original value, but will be appended.

So I solved it like this:

foreach($array as $key => $val) {
    $new_array[$val]=$val;
}

Windows batch: sleep

I don't know why those commands are not working for you, but you can also try timeout

timeout <delay in seconds>

Powershell get ipv4 address into a variable

Here is another solution:

$env:HostIP = (
    Get-NetIPConfiguration |
    Where-Object {
        $_.IPv4DefaultGateway -ne $null -and
        $_.NetAdapter.Status -ne "Disconnected"
    }
).IPv4Address.IPAddress

Transactions in .net

There are 2 main kinds of transactions; connection transactions and ambient transactions. A connection transaction (such as SqlTransaction) is tied directly to the db connection (such as SqlConnection), which means that you have to keep passing the connection around - OK in some cases, but doesn't allow "create/use/release" usage, and doesn't allow cross-db work. An example (formatted for space):

using (IDbTransaction tran = conn.BeginTransaction()) {
    try {
        // your code
        tran.Commit();
    }  catch {
        tran.Rollback();
        throw;
    }
}

Not too messy, but limited to our connection "conn". If we want to call out to different methods, we now need to pass "conn" around.

The alternative is an ambient transaction; new in .NET 2.0, the TransactionScope object (System.Transactions.dll) allows use over a range of operations (suitable providers will automatically enlist in the ambient transaction). This makes it easy to retro-fit into existing (non-transactional) code, and to talk to multiple providers (although DTC will get involved if you talk to more than one).

For example:

using(TransactionScope tran = new TransactionScope()) {
    CallAMethodThatDoesSomeWork();
    CallAMethodThatDoesSomeMoreWork();
    tran.Complete();
}

Note here that the two methods can handle their own connections (open/use/close/dispose), yet they will silently become part of the ambient transaction without us having to pass anything in.

If your code errors, Dispose() will be called without Complete(), so it will be rolled back. The expected nesting etc is supported, although you can't roll-back an inner transaction yet complete the outer transaction: if anybody is unhappy, the transaction is aborted.

The other advantage of TransactionScope is that it isn't tied just to databases; any transaction-aware provider can use it. WCF, for example. Or there are even some TransactionScope-compatible object models around (i.e. .NET classes with rollback capability - perhaps easier than a memento, although I've never used this approach myself).

All in all, a very, very useful object.

Some caveats:

  • On SQL Server 2000, a TransactionScope will go to DTC immediately; this is fixed in SQL Server 2005 and above, it can use the LTM (much less overhead) until you talk to 2 sources etc, when it is elevated to DTC.
  • There is a glitch that means you might need to tweak your connection string

Where does mysql store data?

I just installed MySQL Server 5.7 on Windows 10 and my.ini file is located here c:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini.

The Data folder (where your dbs are created) is here C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7\Data.

What are invalid characters in XML

ampersand (&) is escaped to &amp;

double quotes (") are escaped to &quot;

single quotes (') are escaped to &apos; 

less than (<) is escaped to &lt; 

greater than (>) is escaped to &gt;

In C#, use System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape or System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode to escape these illegal characters.

string xml = "<node>it's my \"node\" & i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A <node>";
string encodedXml1 = System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape(xml);
string encodedXml2= System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode(xml);


encodedXml1
"&lt;node&gt;it&apos;s my &quot;node&quot; &amp; i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A &lt;node&gt;"

encodedXml2
"&lt;node&gt;it&#39;s my &quot;node&quot; &amp; i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A &lt;node&gt;"

get enum name from enum value

Since your 'value' also happens to match with ordinals you could just do:

public enum RelationActiveEnum {
    Invited,
    Active,
    Suspended;

    private final int value;

    private RelationActiveEnum() {
        this.value = ordinal();
    }
}

And getting a enum from the value:

int value = 1;
RelationActiveEnum enumInstance = RelationActiveEnum.values()[value];

I guess an static method would be a good place to put this:

public enum RelationActiveEnum {
     public static RelationActiveEnum fromValue(int value) 
             throws IllegalArgumentException {
         try {
              return RelationActiveEnum.values()[value]
         } catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
              throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown enum value :"+ value);
         }
     }
}   

Obviously this all falls apart if your 'value' isn't the same value as the enum ordinal.

Get list of all tables in Oracle?

select * from all_all_tables

this additional 'all' at the beginning gives extra 3 columns which are:

OBJECT_ID_TYPE
TABLE_TYPE_OWNER
TABLE_TYPE

Sending GET request with Authentication headers using restTemplate

These days something like the following will suffice:

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();

restTemplate.exchange(RequestEntity.get(new URI(url)).headers(headers).build(), returnType);

Check to see if python script is running

Rather than developing your own PID file solution (which has more subtleties and corner cases than you might think), have a look at supervisord -- this is a process control system that makes it easy to wrap job control and daemon behaviors around an existing Python script.

How to pass parameters to the DbContext.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand method?

If your underlying database data types are varchar then you should stick with the approach below. Otherwise the query would have a huge performance impact.

var firstName = new SqlParameter("@firstName", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 20)
                            {
                                Value = "whatever"
                            };

var id = new SqlParameter("@id", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int)
                            {
                                Value = 1
                            };
ctx.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(@"Update [User] SET FirstName = @firstName WHERE Id = @id"
                               , firstName, id);

You can check Sql profiler to see the difference.

How can I find out what FOREIGN KEY constraint references a table in SQL Server?

You could use this query to display Foreign key constaraints:

SELECT
K_Table = FK.TABLE_NAME,
FK_Column = CU.COLUMN_NAME,
PK_Table = PK.TABLE_NAME,
PK_Column = PT.COLUMN_NAME,
Constraint_Name = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS C
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS FK ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = FK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS PK ON C.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME = PK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE CU ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = CU.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN (
SELECT i1.TABLE_NAME, i2.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS i1
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE i2 ON i1.CONSTRAINT_NAME = i2.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE i1.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
) PT ON PT.TABLE_NAME = PK.TABLE_NAME
---- optional:
ORDER BY
1,2,3,4
WHERE PK.TABLE_NAME='YourTable'

Error: 'int' object is not subscriptable - Python

When you write x = 0, x is an int...so you can't do x[age1] because x is int

Adding Apostrophe in every field in particular column for excel

I'm going to suggest the non-obvious. There is a fantastic (and often under-used) tool called the Immediate Window in Visual Basic Editor. Basically, you can write out commands in VBA and execute them on the spot, sort of like command prompt. It's perfect for cases like this.

Press ALT+F11 to open VBE, then Control+G to open the Immediate Window. Type the following and hit enter:

for each v in range("K2:K5000") : v.value = "'" & v.value : next

And boom! You are all done. No need to create a macro, declare variables, no need to drag and copy, etc. Close the window and get back to work. The only downfall is to undo it, you need to do it via code since VBA will destroy your undo stack (but that's simple).

JQuery - Call the jquery button click event based on name property

You can use normal CSS selectors to select an element by name using jquery. Like this:

Button Code
<button type="button" name="mybutton">Click Me!</button>

Selector & Event Bind Code
$("button[name='mybutton']").click(function() {});

Backporting Python 3 open(encoding="utf-8") to Python 2

This may do the trick:

import sys
if sys.version_info[0] > 2:
    # py3k
    pass
else:
    # py2
    import codecs
    import warnings
    def open(file, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None,
             errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True, opener=None):
        if newline is not None:
            warnings.warn('newline is not supported in py2')
        if not closefd:
            warnings.warn('closefd is not supported in py2')
        if opener is not None:
            warnings.warn('opener is not supported in py2')
        return codecs.open(filename=file, mode=mode, encoding=encoding,
                    errors=errors, buffering=buffering)

Then you can keep you code in the python3 way.

Note that some APIs like newline, closefd, opener do not work

Set a cookie to HttpOnly via Javascript

An HttpOnly cookie means that it's not available to scripting languages like JavaScript. So in JavaScript, there's absolutely no API available to get/set the HttpOnly attribute of the cookie, as that would otherwise defeat the meaning of HttpOnly.

Just set it as such on the server side using whatever server side language the server side is using. If JavaScript is absolutely necessary for this, you could consider to just let it send some (ajax) request with e.g. some specific request parameter which triggers the server side language to create an HttpOnly cookie. But, that would still make it easy for hackers to change the HttpOnly by just XSS and still have access to the cookie via JS and thus make the HttpOnly on your cookie completely useless.

How do I remove objects from a JavaScript associative array?

None of the previous answers address the fact that JavaScript does not have associative arrays to begin with - there is no array type as such, see typeof.

What JavaScript has, are object instances with dynamic properties. When properties are confused with elements of an Array object instance then Bad Things™ are bound to happen:

Problem

var elements = new Array()

elements.push(document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0])
elements.push(document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0])
elements["prop"] = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]

console.log("number of elements: ", elements.length)   // Returns 2
delete elements[1]
console.log("number of elements: ", elements.length)   // Returns 2 (?!)

for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
   // Uh-oh... throws a TypeError when i == 1
   elements[i].onmouseover = function () { window.alert("Over It.")}
   console.log("success at index: ", i)
}

Solution

To have a universal removal function that does not blow up on you, use:

Object.prototype.removeItem = function (key) {
   if (!this.hasOwnProperty(key))
      return
   if (isNaN(parseInt(key)) || !(this instanceof Array))
      delete this[key]
   else
      this.splice(key, 1)
};

//
// Code sample.
//
var elements = new Array()

elements.push(document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0])
elements.push(document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0])
elements["prop"] = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]

console.log(elements.length)                        // Returns 2
elements.removeItem("prop")
elements.removeItem(0)
console.log(elements.hasOwnProperty("prop"))        // Returns false as it should
console.log(elements.length)                        // returns 1 as it should

How to delete a certain row from mysql table with same column values?

You need to specify the number of rows which should be deleted. In your case (and I assume that you only want to keep one) this can be done like this:

DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id_users=1 AND id_product=2
LIMIT (SELECT COUNT(*)-1 FROM your_table WHERE id_users=1 AND id_product=2)

How can I render repeating React elements?

This is, imo, the most elegant way to do it (with ES6). Instantiate you empty array with 7 indexes and map in one line:

)

How to view the stored procedure code in SQL Server Management Studio

In case you don't have permission to 'Modify', you can install a free tool called "SQL Search" (by Redgate). I use it to search for keywords that I know will be in the SP and it returns a preview of the SP code with the keywords highlighted.

Ingenious! I then copy this code into my own SP.

How do you handle multiple submit buttons in ASP.NET MVC Framework?

Here's an extension method I wrote to handle multiple image and/or text buttons.

Here's the HTML for an image button:

<input id="btnJoin" name="Join" src="/content/images/buttons/btnJoin.png" 
       type="image">

or for a text submit button :

<input type="submit" class="ui-button green" name="Submit_Join" value="Add to cart"  />
<input type="submit" class="ui-button red" name="Submit_Skip" value="Not today"  />

Here is the extension method you call from the controller with form.GetSubmitButtonName(). For image buttons it looks for a form parameter with .x (which indicates an image button was clicked) and extracts the name. For regular input buttons it looks for a name beginning with Submit_ and extracts the command from afterwards. Because I'm abstracting away the logic of determining the 'command' you can switch between image + text buttons on the client without changing the server side code.

public static class FormCollectionExtensions
{
    public static string GetSubmitButtonName(this FormCollection formCollection)
    {
        return GetSubmitButtonName(formCollection, true);
    }

    public static string GetSubmitButtonName(this FormCollection formCollection, bool throwOnError)
    {
        var imageButton = formCollection.Keys.OfType<string>().Where(x => x.EndsWith(".x")).SingleOrDefault();
        var textButton = formCollection.Keys.OfType<string>().Where(x => x.StartsWith("Submit_")).SingleOrDefault();

        if (textButton != null)
        {
            return textButton.Substring("Submit_".Length);
        }

        // we got something like AddToCart.x
        if (imageButton != null)
        {
            return imageButton.Substring(0, imageButton.Length - 2);
        }

        if (throwOnError)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("No button found");
        }
        else
        {
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Note: For text buttons you have to prefix the name with Submit_. I prefer this way becuase it means you can change the text (display) value without having to change the code. Unlike SELECT elements, an INPUT button has only a 'value' and no separate 'text' attribute. My buttons say different things under different contexts - but map to the same 'command'. I much prefer extracting the name this way than having to code for == "Add to cart".

How to convert DataSet to DataTable

A DataSet already contains DataTables. You can just use:

DataTable firstTable = dataSet.Tables[0];

or by name:

DataTable customerTable = dataSet.Tables["Customer"];

Note that you should have using statements for your SQL code, to ensure the connection is disposed properly:

using (SqlConnection conn = ...)
{
    // Code here...
}

mean() warning: argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

The same error appears if you do not use the correct (numeric) format of your data in your data.frame column using mean() function. Therefore, check your data using str(data.frame&column) function to see what data type you have, and convert it to numeric format if necessary. For example, if your data is Character convert it with as.numeric(data.frame$column), or as a factor with as.numeric(as.character(data.frame$column)). The mean function does not work with types other than numeric.

Eclipse says: “Workspace in use or cannot be created, chose a different one.” How do I unlock a workspace?

The reason this was happening to me (with Photon) was easily fixed by changing an Eclipse general preference:

Window -> Preferences -> General: Uncheck: "Always run in background"

Once you make that change, whenever you shutdown Eclipse, it will no longer leave the javaw.exe process running in the background. I’m guessing this is a bug in Photon (or a bug with using the Amazon Corretto OpenJDK version of Java with Eclipse) that will one day be fixed.

return string with first match Regex

If you only need the first match, then use re.search instead of re.findall:

>>> m = re.search('\d+', 'aa33bbb44')
>>> m.group()
'33'
>>> m = re.search('\d+', 'aazzzbbb')
>>> m.group()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#281>", line 1, in <module>
    m.group()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Then you can use m as a checking condition as:

>>> m = re.search('\d+', 'aa33bbb44')
>>> if m:
        print('First number found = {}'.format(m.group()))
    else:
        print('Not Found')


First number found = 33

AngularJS: How to run additional code after AngularJS has rendered a template?

Neither $scope.$evalAsync() or $timeout(fn, 0) worked reliably for me.

I had to combine the two. I made a directive and also put a priority higher than the default value for good measure. Here's a directive for it (Note I use ngInject to inject dependencies):

app.directive('postrenderAction', postrenderAction);

/* @ngInject */
function postrenderAction($timeout) {
    // ### Directive Interface
    // Defines base properties for the directive.
    var directive = {
        restrict: 'A',
        priority: 101,
        link: link
    };
    return directive;

    // ### Link Function
    // Provides functionality for the directive during the DOM building/data binding stage.
    function link(scope, element, attrs) {
        $timeout(function() {
            scope.$evalAsync(attrs.postrenderAction);
        }, 0);
    }
}

To call the directive, you would do this:

<div postrender-action="functionToRun()"></div>

If you want to call it after an ng-repeat is done running, I added an empty span in my ng-repeat and ng-if="$last":

<li ng-repeat="item in list">
    <!-- Do stuff with list -->
    ...

    <!-- Fire function after the last element is rendered -->
    <span ng-if="$last" postrender-action="$ctrl.postRender()"></span>
</li>

Simple Random Samples from a Sql database

In certain dialects like Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle (but not MySQL or SQLite), you can do something like

select distinct top 10000 customer_id from nielsen.dbo.customer TABLESAMPLE (20000 rows) REPEATABLE (123);

The reason for not just doing (10000 rows) without the top is that the TABLESAMPLE logic gives you an extremely inexact number of rows (like sometimes 75% that, sometimes 1.25% times that), so you want to oversample and select the exact number you want. The REPEATABLE (123) is for providing a random seed.

Explain __dict__ attribute

Basically it contains all the attributes which describe the object in question. It can be used to alter or read the attributes. Quoting from the documentation for __dict__

A dictionary or other mapping object used to store an object's (writable) attributes.

Remember, everything is an object in Python. When I say everything, I mean everything like functions, classes, objects etc (Ya you read it right, classes. Classes are also objects). For example:

def func():
    pass

func.temp = 1

print(func.__dict__)

What is "not assignable to parameter of type never" error in typescript?

One more reason for the error.

if you are exporting after wrapping component with connect()() then props may give typescript error
Solution: I didn't explore much as I had the option of replacing connect function with useSelector hook
for example

/* Comp.tsx */
interface IComp {
 a: number
}

const Comp = ({a}:IComp) => <div>{a}</div>

/* ** 

below line is culprit, you are exporting default the return 
value of Connect and there is no types added to that return
value of that connect()(Comp) 

** */

export default connect()(Comp)


--
/* App.tsx */
const App = () => {
/**  below line gives same error 
[ts] Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to 
parameter of type 'never' */
 return <Comp a={3} />
}

Convert normal Java Array or ArrayList to Json Array in android

Tensorflow 2.0 - AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Session'

According to TF 1:1 Symbols Map, in TF 2.0 you should use tf.compat.v1.Session() instead of tf.Session()

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FLFJLzg7WNP6JHODX5q8BDgptKafq_slHpnHVbJIteQ/edit#gid=0

To get TF 1.x like behaviour in TF 2.0 one can run

import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

but then one cannot benefit of many improvements made in TF 2.0. For more details please refer to the migration guide https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/migrate

Vue.JS: How to call function after page loaded?

You import the function from outside the main instance, and don't add it to the methods block. so the context of this is not the vm.

Either do this:

ready() {
  checkAuth.call(this)
}

or add the method to your methods first (which will make Vue bind this correctly for you) and call this method:

methods: {
  checkAuth: checkAuth
},
ready() {
  this.checkAuth()
}

Databinding an enum property to a ComboBox in WPF

You can create a custom markup extension.

Example of usage:

enum Status
{
    [Description("Available.")]
    Available,
    [Description("Not here right now.")]
    Away,
    [Description("I don't have time right now.")]
    Busy
}

At the top of your XAML:

    xmlns:my="clr-namespace:namespace_to_enumeration_extension_class

and then...

<ComboBox 
    ItemsSource="{Binding Source={my:Enumeration {x:Type my:Status}}}" 
    DisplayMemberPath="Description" 
    SelectedValue="{Binding CurrentStatus}"  
    SelectedValuePath="Value"  /> 

And the implementation...

public class EnumerationExtension : MarkupExtension
  {
    private Type _enumType;


    public EnumerationExtension(Type enumType)
    {
      if (enumType == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("enumType");

      EnumType = enumType;
    }

    public Type EnumType
    {
      get { return _enumType; }
      private set
      {
        if (_enumType == value)
          return;

        var enumType = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(value) ?? value;

        if (enumType.IsEnum == false)
          throw new ArgumentException("Type must be an Enum.");

        _enumType = value;
      }
    }

    public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
      var enumValues = Enum.GetValues(EnumType);

      return (
        from object enumValue in enumValues
        select new EnumerationMember{
          Value = enumValue,
          Description = GetDescription(enumValue)
        }).ToArray();
    }

    private string GetDescription(object enumValue)
    {
      var descriptionAttribute = EnumType
        .GetField(enumValue.ToString())
        .GetCustomAttributes(typeof (DescriptionAttribute), false)
        .FirstOrDefault() as DescriptionAttribute;


      return descriptionAttribute != null
        ? descriptionAttribute.Description
        : enumValue.ToString();
    }

    public class EnumerationMember
    {
      public string Description { get; set; }
      public object Value { get; set; }
    }
  }

HTTPS and SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed, CA is OK

For the love of all that is holy...

In my case, I had to set the openssl.cafile PHP config variable to the PEM file path.

I trust it is very true that there are many systems where setting curl.cainfo in PHP's config is exactly what is needed, but in the environment I'm working with, which is the eboraas/laravel docker container, which uses Debian 8 (jessie) and PHP 5.6, setting that variable did not do the trick.

I noticed that the output of php -i did not mention anything about that particular config setting, but it did have a few lines about openssl. There is both an openssl.capath and openssl.cafile option, but just setting the second one allowed curl via PHP to finally be okay with HTTPS URLs.

if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

I think you are putting one too many curly brackets. Try this

 @if($user->status=='waiting')

            @else
            <td>{!! $user->status !!}</td>

How to remove a branch locally?

you need switch into another branch and try the same.

What tools do you use to test your public REST API?

We use Groovy and Spock for writing highly expressive BDD style tests. Unbeatable combo! Jersey Client API or HttpClient is used for handling the HTTP requests.

For manual/acceptance testing we use Curl or Chrome apps as Postman or Dev HTTP Client.

Get text from DataGridView selected cells

or, we can use something like this

dim i = dgv1.CurrentCellAddress.X
dim j = dgv1.CurrentCellAddress.Y
MsgBox(dgv1.Item(i,j).Value.ToString())

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 on Xcode 6.1

What is the { get; set; } syntax in C#?

Its basically a shorthand. You can write public string Name { get; set; } like in many examples, but you can also write it:

private string _name;

public string Name
{
    get { return _name; }
    set { _name = value ; } // value is a special keyword here
}

Why it is used? It can be used to filter access to a property, for example you don't want names to include numbers.

Let me give you an example:

private class Person {
    private int _age;  // Person._age = 25; will throw an error
    public int Age{
        get { return _age; }  // example: Console.WriteLine(Person.Age);
        set { 
            if ( value >= 0) {
                _age = value; }  // valid example: Person.Age = 25;
        }
    }
}

Officially its called Auto-Implemented Properties and its good habit to read the (programming guide). I would also recommend tutorial video C# Properties: Why use "get" and "set".

MySQL 8.0 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Let's first make it clear what's going on.

MySQL 8 has supports pluggable authentication methods. By default, one of them named caching_sha2_password is used rather than our good old mysql_native_password (source). It should be obvious that using a crypto algorithm with several handshakes is more secure than plain password passing that has been there for 24 years!

Now, the problem is mysqljs in Node (the package you install with npm i mysql and use it in your Node code) doesn't support this new default authentication method of MySQL 8, yet. The issue is in here: https://github.com/mysqljs/mysql/issues/1507 and is still open, after 3 years, as of July 2019.

UPDATE June 2019: There is a new PR in mysqljs now to fix this!

UPDATE Feb 2020: Apparently it's scheduled to come in version 3 of mysqljs.

UPDATE July 2020: Apparently it's still not in yet (as of April 2020 at least), but it's claimed that node-mysql2 is supporting Authentication switch request. Please comment below if node-mysql2 is working fine for this issue -- I will test it later myself.


Your Current Options

Option 1) Downgrade "MySQL" to authenticate using good old "mysql_native_password"

That's what everybody suggests here (e.g. top answer above). You just get into mysql and run a query saying root is fine using old mysql_native_password method for authentication:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password ...

The good thing is, life is going to be simple and you can still use good old tools like Sequel Pro without any issue. But the problem is, you are not taking advantage of a more secure (and cool, read below) stuffs available to you.

Option 2) Replace "Node" package with MySQL Connecter X DevAPI

MySQL X DevAPI for Node is a replacement to Node's Mysqljs package, provided by http://dev.mysql.com official guys.

It works like a charm supporting caching_sha2_password authentication. (Just make sure you use port 33060 for X Protocol communications.)

The bad thing is, you have left our old mysql package that everyone is so used to and relies on.

The good thing is, your app is more secure now and you can take advantage of a ton of new things that our good old friends didn't provide! Just check out the tutorial of X DevAPI and you'll see it has a ton of new sexy features that can come in handy. You just need to pay the price of a learning curve, which expectedly comes with any technology upgrade. :)

PS. Unfortunately, this XDevAPI Package doesn't have types definition (understandable by TypeScript) yet, so if you are on typescript, you will have problems. I tried to generate .d.ts using dts-gen and dtsmake, but no success. So keep that in mind.

Creating SVG graphics using Javascript?

I like jQuery SVG library very much. It helps me every time I need to manipulate with SVG. It really facilitate the work with SVG from JavaScript.

Update my gradle dependencies in eclipse

First, please check you have include eclipse gradle plugin. apply plugin : 'eclipse' Then go to your project directory in Terminal. Type gradle clean and then gradle eclipse. Then go to project in eclipse and refresh the project.

Adding asterisk to required fields in Bootstrap 3

The other two answers are correct. When you include spaces in your CSS selectors you're targeting child elements so:

.form-group .required {
    styles
}

Is targeting an element with the class of "required" that is inside an element with the class of "form-group".

Without the space it's targeting an element that has both classes. 'required' and 'form-group'

Simple way to understand Encapsulation and Abstraction

Encapsulation: I think this is much to do with how you can bind things into one entity rather than hiding. If you choose to hide something you can.

Abstraction: Abstraction is much to do with the hiding things and there could be varied levels of abstraction. For example, in functional abstraction we might say that it is important to be able to add items to a list, but the details of how that is accomplished are not of interest and should be hidden. Using data abstraction, we would say that a list is a place where we can store information, but how the list is actually implemented (e.g., as an array or as a series of linked locations) is unimportant and should be hidden.

JavaScript: clone a function

This answer is for people who see cloning a function as the answer to their desired usage, but who many not actually need to clone a function, because what they really want is simply to be able to attach different properties to the same function, but only declare that function one time.

Do this by creating a function-creating function:

function createFunction(param1, param2) {
   function doSomething() {
      console.log('in the function!');
   }
   // Assign properties to `doSomething` if desired, perhaps based
   // on the arguments passed into `param1` and `param2`. Or,
   // even return a different function from among a group of them.
   return doSomething;
};

let a = createFunction();
a.something = 1;
let b = createFunction();
b.something = 2; // does not overwrite a.something
console.log(a.something);
a();
b();

This is not exactly the same as you have outlined, however, it depends on how you want to use the function you're wishing to clone. This also uses more memory because it actually creates multiple copies of the function, once per invocation. However, this technique may solve some people's use case without the need for a complicated clone function.

How can I store HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>> inside a list?

First you need to define the List as :

List<Map<String, ArrayList<String>>> list = new ArrayList<>();

To add the Map to the List , use add(E e) method :

list.add(map);

remove first element from array and return the array minus the first element

You can use array.slice(0,1) // First index is removed and array is returned.

Python requests - print entire http request (raw)?

requests supports so called event hooks (as of 2.23 there's actually only response hook). The hook can be used on a request to print full request-response pair's data, including effective URL, headers and bodies, like:

import textwrap
import requests

def print_roundtrip(response, *args, **kwargs):
    format_headers = lambda d: '\n'.join(f'{k}: {v}' for k, v in d.items())
    print(textwrap.dedent('''
        ---------------- request ----------------
        {req.method} {req.url}
        {reqhdrs}

        {req.body}
        ---------------- response ----------------
        {res.status_code} {res.reason} {res.url}
        {reshdrs}

        {res.text}
    ''').format(
        req=response.request, 
        res=response, 
        reqhdrs=format_headers(response.request.headers), 
        reshdrs=format_headers(response.headers), 
    ))

requests.get('https://httpbin.org/', hooks={'response': print_roundtrip})

Running it prints:

---------------- request ----------------
GET https://httpbin.org/
User-Agent: python-requests/2.23.0
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Connection: keep-alive

None
---------------- response ----------------

You may want to change res.text to res.content if the response is binary.

How to get ° character in a string in python?

>>> u"\u00b0"
u'\xb0'
>>> print _

BTW, all I did was search "unicode degree" on Google. This brings up two results: "Degree sign U+00B0" and "Degree Celsius U+2103", which are actually different:

>>> u"\u2103"
u'\u2103'
>>> print _

View JSON file in Browser

Well I was searching view json file in WebBrowser in my Desktop app, when I try in IE still same problem IE was also prompt to download the file. Luckily after too much search I find the solution for it.

You need to : Open Notepad and paste the following:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/json]
    "CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
    "Encoding"=hex:08,00,00,00
    
Save document as Json.reg and then right click on file and run as administrator.

After this You can view json file in IE and you Desktop WebBrowser enjoy :)

iText - add content to existing PDF file

This is the most complicated scenario I can imagine: I have a PDF file created with Ilustrator and modified with Acrobat to have AcroFields (AcroForm) that I'm going to fill with data with this Java code, the result of that PDF file with the data in the fields is modified adding a Document.

Actually in this case I'm dynamically generating a background that is added to a PDF that is also dynamically generated with a Document with an unknown amount of data or pages.

I'm using JBoss and this code is inside a JSP file (should work in any JSP webserver).

Note: if you are using IExplorer you must submit a HTTP form with POST method to be able to download the file. If not you are going to see the PDF code in the screen. This does not happen in Chrome or Firefox.

<%@ page import="java.io.*, com.lowagie.text.*, com.lowagie.text.pdf.*" %><%

response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=listaPrecios.pdf" );  

// -------- FIRST THE PDF WITH THE INFO ----------
String str = "";
// lots of words
for(int i = 0; i < 800; i++) str += "Hello" + i + " ";
// the document
Document doc = new Document( PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 200, 70 );
ByteArrayOutputStream streamDoc = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance( doc, streamDoc );
// lets start filling with info
doc.open();
doc.add(new Paragraph(str));
doc.close();
// the beauty of this is the PDF will have all the pages it needs
PdfReader frente = new PdfReader(streamDoc.toByteArray());
PdfStamper stamperDoc = new PdfStamper( frente, response.getOutputStream());

// -------- THE BACKGROUND PDF FILE -------
// in JBoss the file has to be in webinf/classes to be readed this way
PdfReader fondo = new PdfReader("listaPrecios.pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream streamFondo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamperFondo = new PdfStamper( fondo, streamFondo);
// the acroform
AcroFields form = stamperFondo.getAcroFields();
// the fields 
form.setField("nombre","Avicultura");
form.setField("descripcion","Esto describe para que sirve la lista ");
stamperFondo.setFormFlattening(true);
stamperFondo.close();
// our background is ready
PdfReader fondoEstampado = new PdfReader( streamFondo.toByteArray() );

// ---- ADDING THE BACKGROUND TO EACH DATA PAGE ---------
PdfImportedPage pagina = stamperDoc.getImportedPage(fondoEstampado,1);
int n = frente.getNumberOfPages();
PdfContentByte background;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
    background = stamperDoc.getUnderContent(i);
    background.addTemplate(pagina, 0, 0);
}
// after this everithing will be written in response.getOutputStream()
stamperDoc.close(); 
%>

There is another solution much simpler, and solves your problem. It depends the amount of text you want to add.

// read the file
PdfReader fondo = new PdfReader("listaPrecios.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper( fondo, response.getOutputStream());
PdfContentByte content = stamper.getOverContent(1);
// add text
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText( content );
// this are the coordinates where you want to add text
// if the text does not fit inside it will be cropped
ct.setSimpleColumn(50,500,500,50);
ct.setText(new Phrase(str, titulo1));
ct.go();

Using sessions & session variables in a PHP Login Script

here is the simplest session code using php. We are using 3 files.

login.php

<?php  session_start();   // session starts with the help of this function 


if(isset($_SESSION['use']))   // Checking whether the session is already there or not if 
                              // true then header redirect it to the home page directly 
 {
    header("Location:home.php"); 
 }

if(isset($_POST['login']))   // it checks whether the user clicked login button or not 
{
     $user = $_POST['user'];
     $pass = $_POST['pass'];

      if($user == "Ank" && $pass == "1234")  // username is  set to "Ank"  and Password   
         {                                   // is 1234 by default     

          $_SESSION['use']=$user;


         echo '<script type="text/javascript"> window.open("home.php","_self");</script>';            //  On Successful Login redirects to home.php

        }

        else

How to get UTF-8 working in Java webapps?

I think you summed it up quite well in your own answer.

In the process of UTF-8-ing(?) from end to end you might also want to make sure java itself is using UTF-8. Use -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 as parameter to the JVM (can be configured in catalina.bat).

Merge Two Lists in R

This is a very simple adaptation of the modifyList function by Sarkar. Because it is recursive, it will handle more complex situations than mapply would, and it will handle mismatched name situations by ignoring the items in 'second' that are not in 'first'.

appendList <- function (x, val) 
{
    stopifnot(is.list(x), is.list(val))
    xnames <- names(x)

How to get primary key column in Oracle?

Save the following script as something like findPK.sql.

set verify off
accept TABLE_NAME char prompt 'Table name>'

SELECT cols.column_name
FROM all_constraints cons NATURAL JOIN all_cons_columns cols
WHERE cons.constraint_type = 'P' AND table_name = UPPER('&TABLE_NAME');

It can then be called using

@findPK

How to print a debug log?

If you are on Linux:

file_put_contents('your_log_file', 'your_content');

or

error_log ('your_content', 3, 'your_log_file');

and then in console

tail -f your_log_file

This will show continuously the last line put in the file.

Is there a difference between "throw" and "throw ex"?

Yes, there is a difference;

  • throw ex resets the stack trace (so your errors would appear to originate from HandleException)
  • throw doesn't - the original offender would be preserved.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            Method2();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.Write(ex.StackTrace.ToString());
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
    
    private static void Method2()
    {
        try
        {
            Method1();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //throw ex resets the stack trace Coming from Method 1 and propogates it to the caller(Main)
            throw ex;
        }
    }
    
    private static void Method1()
    {
        try
        {
            throw new Exception("Inside Method1");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }
    

Is there a 'foreach' function in Python 3?

Every occurence of "foreach" I've seen (PHP, C#, ...) does basically the same as pythons "for" statement.

These are more or less equivalent:

// PHP:
foreach ($array as $val) {
    print($val);
}

// C#
foreach (String val in array) {
    console.writeline(val);
}

// Python
for val in array:
    print(val)

So, yes, there is a "foreach" in python. It's called "for".

What you're describing is an "array map" function. This could be done with list comprehensions in python:

names = ['tom', 'john', 'simon']

namesCapitalized = [capitalize(n) for n in names]

Multiple maven repositories in one gradle file

In short you have to do like this

repositories {
  maven { url "http://maven.springframework.org/release" }
  maven { url "https://maven.fabric.io/public" }
}

Detail:

You need to specify each maven URL in its own curly braces. Here is what I got working with skeleton dependencies for the web services project I’m going to build up:

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.0'

repositories {
  maven { url "http://maven.springframework.org/release" }
  maven { url "http://maven.restlet.org" }
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  compile group:'org.restlet.jee', name:'org.restlet', version:'2.1.1'
  compile group:'org.restlet.jee', name:'org.restlet.ext.servlet',version.1.1'
  compile group:'org.springframework', name:'spring-web', version:'3.2.1.RELEASE'
  compile group:'org.slf4j', name:'slf4j-api', version:'1.7.2'
  compile group:'ch.qos.logback', name:'logback-core', version:'1.0.9'
  testCompile group:'junit', name:'junit', version:'4.11'

PKIX path building failed in Java application

On Windows you can try these steps:

  1. Download a root CA certificate from the website.
  2. Find a file jssecacerts in the directory /lib/security with JRE (you can use a comand System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"); to find the folder with the current JRE). Make a backup of the file.
  3. Download a program portecle.
  4. Open the jssecacerts file in portecle.
  5. Enter the password: changeit.
  6. Import the downloaded certificate with porticle (Tools > Import Trusted Certificate).
  7. Click Save.
  8. Replace the original file jssecacerts.

Read and write a text file in typescript

believe there should be a way in accessing file system.

Include node.d.ts using npm i @types/node. And then create a new tsconfig.json file (npx tsc --init) and create a .ts file as followed:

import fs from 'fs';
fs.readFileSync('foo.txt','utf8');

You can use other functions in fs as well : https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

Why do this() and super() have to be the first statement in a constructor?

The question of why Java does this has already been answered, but since I stumbled upon this question hoping to find a better alternative to the one-liner, I'll hereby share my work-around:

public class SomethingComplicated extends SomethingComplicatedParent {

    private interface Lambda<T> {
        public T run();
    }

    public SomethingComplicated(Settings settings) {
        super(((Lambda<Settings>) () -> {

            // My modification code,
            settings.setting1 = settings.setting2;
            return settings;
        }).run());
    }
}

Calling a static function should perform better, but I would use this if I insist on having the code "inside" the constructor, or if I have to alter multiple parameters and find defining many static methods bad for readability.

Basic CSS - how to overlay a DIV with semi-transparent DIV on top

Here's a pure CSS solution, similar to DarkBee's answer, but without the need for an extra .wrapper div:

.dimmed {
  position: relative;
}

.dimmed:after {
  content: " ";
  z-index: 10;
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  height: 100%;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

I'm using rgba here, but of course you can use other transparency methods if you like.

jquery .live('click') vs .click()

(Note 29/08/2017: live was deprecated many versions ago and removed in v1.9. delegate was deprecated in v3.0. In both cases, use the delegating signature of on instead [also covered below].)


live happens by capturing the event when it's bubbled all the way up the DOM to the document root, and then looking at the source element. click happens by capturing the event on the element itself. So if you're using live, and one of the ancestor elements is hooking the event directly (and preventing it continuing to bubble), you'll never see the event on your element. Whereas normally, the element nearest the event (click or whatever) gets first grab at it, the mix of live and non-live events can change that in subtle ways.

For example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
jQuery(function($) {_x000D_
_x000D_
  $('span').live('click', function() {_x000D_
    display("<tt>live</tt> caught a click!");_x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
  $('#catcher').click(function() {_x000D_
    display("Catcher caught a click and prevented <tt>live</tt> from seeing it.");_x000D_
    return false;_x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
  function display(msg) {_x000D_
    $("<p>").html(msg).appendTo(document.body);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <span>Click me</span>_x000D_
  <span>or me</span>_x000D_
  <span>or me</span>_x000D_
  <div>_x000D_
    <span>I'm two levels in</span>_x000D_
    <span>so am I</span>_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
  <div id='catcher'>_x000D_
    <span>I'm two levels in AND my parent interferes with <tt>live</tt></span>_x000D_
    <span>me too</span>_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<!-- Using an old version because `live` was removed in v1.9 -->_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js">_x000D_
</script>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

I'd recommend using delegate over live when you can, so you can more thoroughly control the scope; with delegate, you control the root element that captures the bubbling event (e.g., live is basically delegate using the document root as the root). Also, recommend avoiding (where possible) having delegate or live interacting with non-delegated, non-live event handling.


Here several years later, you wouldn't use either live or delegate; you'd use the delegating signature of on, but the concept is still the same: The event is hooked on the element you call on on, but then fired only when descendants match the selector given after the event name:

_x000D_
_x000D_
jQuery(function($) {_x000D_
_x000D_
  $(document).on('click', 'span', function() {_x000D_
    display("<tt>live</tt> caught a click!");_x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
  $('#catcher').click(function() {_x000D_
    display("Catcher caught a click and prevented <tt>live</tt> from seeing it.");_x000D_
    return false;_x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
  function display(msg) {_x000D_
    $("<p>").html(msg).appendTo(document.body);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <span>Click me</span>_x000D_
  <span>or me</span>_x000D_
  <span>or me</span>_x000D_
  <div>_x000D_
    <span>I'm two levels in</span>_x000D_
    <span>so am I</span>_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
  <div id='catcher'>_x000D_
    <span>I'm two levels in AND my parent interferes with <tt>live</tt></span>_x000D_
    <span>me too</span>_x000D_

How to set text color in submit button?

Returning unique_ptr from functions

is there some other clause in the language specification that this exploits?

Yes, see 12.8 §34 and §35:

When certain criteria are met, an implementation is allowed to omit the copy/move construction of a class object [...] This elision of copy/move operations, called copy elision, is permitted [...] in a return statement in a function with a class return type, when the expression is the name of a non-volatile automatic object with the same cv-unqualified type as the function return type [...]

When the criteria for elision of a copy operation are met and the object to be copied is designated by an lvalue, overload resolution to select the constructor for the copy is first performed as if the object were designated by an rvalue.


Just wanted to add one more point that returning by value should be the default choice here because a named value in the return statement in the worst case, i.e. without elisions in C++11, C++14 and C++17 is treated as an rvalue. So for example the following function compiles with the -fno-elide-constructors flag

std::unique_ptr<int> get_unique() {
  auto ptr = std::unique_ptr<int>{new int{2}}; // <- 1
  return ptr; // <- 2, moved into the to be returned unique_ptr
}

...

auto int_uptr = get_unique(); // <- 3

With the flag set on compilation there are two moves (1 and 2) happening in this function and then one move later on (3).

What does [object Object] mean?

The default conversion from an object to string is "[object Object]".

As you are dealing with jQuery objects, you might want to do

alert(whichIsVisible()[0].id);

to print the element's ID.

As mentioned in the comments, you should use the tools included in browsers like Firefox or Chrome to introspect objects by doing console.log(whichIsVisible()) instead of alert.

Sidenote: IDs should not start with digits.

Setting the JVM via the command line on Windows

Yes - just explicitly provide the path to java.exe. For instance:

c:\Users\Jon\Test>"c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe" -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

c:\Users\Jon\Test>"c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\java.exe" -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

The easiest way to do this for a running command shell is something like:

set PATH=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin;%PATH%

For example, here's a complete session showing my default JVM, then the change to the path, then the new one:

c:\Users\Jon\Test>java -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

c:\Users\Jon\Test>set PATH=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin;%PATH%

c:\Users\Jon\Test>java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

This won't change programs which explicitly use JAVA_HOME though.

Note that if you get the wrong directory in the path - including one that doesn't exist - you won't get any errors, it will effectively just be ignored.

trigger body click with jQuery

if all things were said didn't work, go back to basics and test if this is working:

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $('body').click(function() {
        // do something here like:
        alert('hey! The body click is working!!!')
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

then tell me if its working or not.

ORA-12154 could not resolve the connect identifier specified

I had this error in Visual Studio 2013, with an SSIS project. I set Project, Properties, Debugging, Run64BitRuntime = false and then the SSIS package ran. However, when I deployed the package to the server I had to set the value to true (Server is 64 bit Windows 2012 / Sql 2014 ).

I think the reasoning behind this is that Visual Studio is a 32 bit application.

How to write macro for Notepad++?

My personal experience is that shortcuts.xml is overwritten with the initially loaded + later recorded macros and settings when Notepad++ exits. So you can't use Notepad++ itself for editing this file.

Close Notepad++, edit shortcuts.xml by another tool, save it and restart Notepad++.

What is the "continue" keyword and how does it work in Java?

Let's see an example:

int sum = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= 100 ; i++){
    if(i % 2 == 0)
         continue;
    sum += i;
}

This would get the sum of only odd numbers from 1 to 100.

How to remove all white spaces from a given text file

How do I change the default index page in Apache?

I recommend using .htaccess. You only need to add:

DirectoryIndex home.php

or whatever page name you want to have for it.

EDIT: basic htaccess tutorial.

1) Create .htaccess file in the directory where you want to change the index file.

  • no extension
  • . in front, to ensure it is a "hidden" file

Enter the line above in there. There will likely be many, many other things you will add to this (AddTypes for webfonts / media files, caching for headers, gzip declaration for compression, etc.), but that one line declares your new "home" page.

2) Set server to allow reading of .htaccess files (may only be needed on your localhost, if your hosting servce defaults to allow it as most do)

Assuming you have access, go to your server's enabled site location. I run a Debian server for development, and the default site setup is at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default for Debian / Ubuntu. Not sure what server you run, but just search for "sites-available" and go into the "default" document. In there you will see an entry for Directory. Modify it to look like this:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Then restart your apache server. Again, not sure about your server, but the command on Debian / Ubuntu is:

sudo service apache2 restart

Technically you only need to reload, but I restart just because I feel safer with a full refresh like that.

Once that is done, your site should be reading from your .htaccess file, and you should have a new default home page! A side note, if you have a sub-directory that runs a site (like an admin section or something) and you want to have a different "home page" for that directory, you can just plop another .htaccess file in that sub-site's root and it will overwrite the declaration in the parent.

How can you create pop up messages in a batch script?

Few more ways (in all of them the script waits for button pressing unlike msg.exe).

1) The geekiest and hackiest - it uses the IEXPRESS to create small exe that will create a pop-up with a single button (it can create two more types of pop-up messages).Works on EVERY windows from XP and above:

;@echo off
;setlocal

;set ppopup_executable=popupe.exe
;set "message2=click OK to continue"
;
;del /q /f %tmp%\yes >nul 2>&1
;
;copy /y "%~f0" "%temp%\popup.sed" >nul 2>&1

;(echo(FinishMessage=%message2%)>>"%temp%\popup.sed";
;(echo(TargetName=%cd%\%ppopup_executable%)>>"%temp%\popup.sed";
;(echo(FriendlyName=%message1_title%)>>"%temp%\popup.sed"
;
;iexpress /n /q /m %temp%\popup.sed
;%ppopup_executable%
;rem del /q /f %ppopup_executable% >nul 2>&1

;pause

;endlocal
;exit /b 0

2) Using MSHTA. Also works on every windows machine from XP and above (despite yhe OP do not wants "external" languages the jsvascript here is minimized).Should be saved as .bat:

@if (true == false) @end /*!
@echo off
mshta "about:<script src='file://%~f0'></script><script>close()</script>" %*
goto :EOF */

alert("Hello, world!");

or in one line:

mshta "about:<script>alert('Hello, world!');close()</script>"

or

mshta "javascript:alert('message');close()"

or

mshta.exe vbscript:Execute("msgbox ""message"",0,""title"":close")

3) Here's parametrized .bat/jscript hybrid (should be saved as bat) .It again uses jscript despite the OP request but as it is a bat it can be called as a bat file without worries.It uses POPUP which allows a little bit more control than the more populae MSGBOX.It uses WSH ,but not MSHTA like in the example above.

4) and one jscript.net/.bat hybrid (should be saved as .bat) .This time it uses .NET and compiles a small .exe file that could be deleted:

How can I disable the bootstrap hover color for links?

For me none of the simple solutions above worked, however by changing only the hover I was able to get it to work:

  :hover {
    color: inherit;
    text-decoration: none;
  }

Add new value to an existing array in JavaScript

You don't need jQuery for that. Use regular javascript

var arr = new Array();
// or var arr = [];
arr.push('value1');
arr.push('value2');

Note: In javascript, you can also use Objects as Arrays, but still have access to the Array prototypes. This makes the object behave like an array:

var obj = new Object();
Array.prototype.push.call(obj, 'value');

will create an object that looks like:

{
    0: 'value',
    length: 1
}

You can access the vaules just like a normal array f.ex obj[0].

How can a Javascript object refer to values in itself?

One alternative would be to use a getter/setter methods.

For instance, if you only care about reading the calculated value:

var book  = {}

Object.defineProperties(book,{
    key1: { value: "it", enumerable: true },
    key2: {
        enumerable: true,
        get: function(){
            return this.key1 + " works!";
        }
    }
});

console.log(book.key2); //prints "it works!"

The above code, though, won't let you define another value for key2.

So, the things become a bit more complicated if you would like to also redefine the value of key2. It will always be a calculated value. Most likely that's what you want.

However, if you would like to be able to redefine the value of key2, then you will need a place to cache its value independently of the calculation.

Somewhat like this:

var book  = { _key2: " works!" }

Object.defineProperties(book,{
    key1: { value: "it", enumerable: true},
    _key2: { enumerable: false},
    key2: {
        enumerable: true,
        get: function(){
            return this.key1 + this._key2;
        },
        set: function(newValue){
            this._key2 = newValue;
        }
    }
});

console.log(book.key2); //it works!

book.key2 = " doesn't work!";
console.log(book.key2); //it doesn't work!

for(var key in book){
    //prints both key1 and key2, but not _key2
    console.log(key + ":" + book[key]); 
}

Another interesting alternative is to use a self-initializing object:

var obj = ({
  x: "it",
  init: function(){
    this.y = this.x + " works!";
    return this;
  }
}).init();

console.log(obj.y); //it works!

Bootstrap: How to center align content inside column?

Want to center an image? Very easy, Bootstrap comes with two classes, .center-block and text-center.

Use the former in the case of your image being a BLOCK element, for example, adding img-responsive class to your img makes the img a block element. You should know this if you know how to navigate in the web console and see applied styles to an element.

Don't want to use a class? No problem, here is the CSS bootstrap uses. You can make a custom class or write a CSS rule for the element to match the Bootstrap class.

 // In case you're dealing with a block element apply this to the element itself 
.center-block {
   margin-left:auto;
   margin-right:auto;
   display:block;
}

// In case you're dealing with a inline element apply this to the parent 
.text-center {
   text-align:center
}

Scroll to the top of the page after render in react.js

None of the above answers is currently working for me. It turns out that .scrollTo is not as widely compatible as .scrollIntoView.

In our App.js, in componentWillMount() we added

this.props.history.listen((location, action) => {
        setTimeout(() => { document.getElementById('root').scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" }) }, 777)
    })

This is the only solution that is working universally for us. root is the ID of our App. The "smooth" behavior doesn't work on every browser / device. The 777 timeout is a bit conservative, but we load a lot of data on every page, so through testing this was necessary. A shorter 237 might work for most applications.

How to ping ubuntu guest on VirtualBox

In most cases simply switching the virtual machine network adapter to bridged mode is enough to make the guest machine accessible from outside.

Switching virtual machine network adapter type

Sometimes it's possible for the guest machine to not automatically receive an IP which matches the host's IP range after switching to bridged mode (even after rebooting the guest machine). This is often caused by a malfunctioning or badly configured DHCP on the host network.

For example, if the host IP is 192.168.1.1 the guest machine needs to have an IP in the format 192.168.1.* where only the last group of numbers is allowed to be different from the host IP.

You can use a terminal (shell) and type ifconfig (ipconfig for Windows guests) to check what IP is assigned to the guest machine and change it if required.

Getting the guest's machine IP

If the host and guest IPs do not match simply setting a static IP for the guest machine explicitly should resolve the issue.

400 BAD request HTTP error code meaning?

As a complementary, for those who might meet the same issue as mine, I'm using $.ajax to post form data to server and I also got the 400 error at first.

Assume I have a javascript variable,

var formData = {
    "name":"Gearon",
    "hobby":"Be different"
    }; 

Do not use variable formData directly as the value of key data like below:

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    dataType: "json",
    url: "http://localhost/user/add",
    contentType: "application/json",
    data: formData,
    success: function(data, textStatus){
        alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status); 
    }
});

Instead, use JSON.stringify to encapsulate the formData as below:

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    dataType: "json",
    url: "http://localhost/user/add",
    contentType: "application/json",
    data: JSON.stringify(formData),
    success: function(data, textStatus){
        alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status); 
    }
});

Anyway, as others have illustrated, the error is because the server could not recognize the request cause malformed syntax, I'm just raising a instance at practice. Hope it would be helpful to someone.

Search for a string in all tables, rows and columns of a DB

I think this can be an easiest way to find a string in all rows of your database -without using cursors and FOR XML-.

CREATE PROCEDURE SPFindAll (@find VARCHAR(max) = '')
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    --
    DECLARE @query VARCHAR(max) = ''

    SELECT  @query = @query + 
            CASE 
                WHEN @query = '' THEN '' 
                ELSE ' UNION ALL '
            END +
            'SELECT ''' + s.name + ''' As schemaName, ''' + t.name + ''' As tableName, ''' + c.name + ''' As ColumnName, [' + c.name + '] COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT As [Data] FROM [' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + '] WHERE [' + c.name + '] Like ''%' + @find + '%'''
    FROM 
        sys.schemas s
        INNER JOIN
        sys.tables t ON s.[schema_id] = t.[schema_id]
        INNER JOIN 
        sys.columns c ON t.[object_id] = c.[object_id]
        INNER JOIN
        sys.types ty ON c.user_type_id = ty.user_type_id
    WHERE
        ty.name LIKE '%char'

    EXEC(@query)
END

By creating this stored procedure you can run it for any string you want to find like this:

EXEC SPFindAll 'Hello World'

The result will be like this:

schemaName | tableName | columnName | Data
-----------+-----------+------------+-----------------------
schema1    | Table1    | Column1    | Hello World
schema1    | Table1    | Column1    | Hello World!
schema1    | Table2    | Column1    | I say "Hello World".
schema1    | Table2    | Column2    | Hello World

Match at every second occurrence

There's no "direct" way of doing so but you can specify the pattern twice as in: a[^a]*a that match up to the second "a".

The alternative is to use your programming language (perl? C#? ...) to match the first occurence and then the second one.

EDIT: I've seen other responded using the "non-greedy" operators which might be a good way to go, assuming you have them in your regex library!

Reading InputStream as UTF-8

Solved my own problem. This line:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));

needs to be:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "UTF-8"));

or since Java 7:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Java Webservice Client (Best way)

What is the best approach to do this JAVA?

I would personally NOT use Axis 2, even for client side development only. Here is why I stay away from it:

  1. I don't like its architecture and hate its counter productive deployment model.
  2. I find it to be low quality project.
  3. I don't like its performances (see this benchmark against JAX-WS RI).
  4. It's always a nightmare to setup dependencies (I use Maven and I always have to fight with the gazillion of dependencies) (see #2)
  5. Axis sucked big time and Axis2 isn't better. No, this is not a personal opinion, there is a consensus.
  6. I suffered once, never again.

The only reason Axis is still around is IMO because it's used in Eclipse since ages. Thanks god, this has been fixed in Eclipse Helios and I hope Axis2 will finally die. There are just much better stacks.

I read about SAAJ, looks like that will be more granular level of approach?

To do what?

Is there any other way than using the WSDL2Java tool, to generate the code. Maybe wsimport in another option. What are the pros and cons?

Yes! Prefer a JAX-WS stack like CXF or JAX-WS RI (you might also read about Metro, Metro = JAX-WS RI + WSIT), they are just more elegant, simpler, easier to use. In your case, I would just use JAX-WS RI which is included in Java 6 and thus wsimport.

Can someone send the links for some good tutorials on these topics?

That's another pro, there are plenty of (good quality) tutorials for JAX-WS, see for example:

What are the options we need to use while generating the code using the WSDL2Java?

No options, use wsimport :)

How print out the contents of a HashMap<String, String> in ascending order based on its values?

sortedKeys.addAll(codes.keySet());

for(String key: sortedKeys){

Clearing content of text file using C#

Simply write to file string.Empty, when append is set to false in StreamWriter. I think this one is easiest to understand for beginner.

{
    if (!File.Exists("TextFile.txt"))
        File.Create("TextFile.txt");

    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("TextFile.txt", false);
    tw.Write(string.Empty);
    tw.Close();
}

Break a previous commit into multiple commits

If you have this:

A - B <- mybranch

Where you have committed some content in commit B:

/modules/a/file1
/modules/a/file2
/modules/b/file3
/modules/b/file4

But you want to split B into C - D, and get this result:

A - C - D <-mybranch

You can divide the content like this for example (content from different directories in different commits)...

Reset the branch back to the commit before the one to split:

git checkout mybranch
git reset --hard A

Create first commit (C):

git checkout B /modules/a
git add -u
git commit -m "content of /modules/a"

Create second commit (D):

git checkout B /modules/b
git add -u
git commit -m "content of /modules/b"

Catch browser's "zoom" event in JavaScript

I'am replying to a 3 year old link but I guess here's a more acceptable answer,

Create .css file as,

@media screen and (max-width: 1000px) 
{
       // things you want to trigger when the screen is zoomed
}

EG:-

@media screen and (max-width: 1000px) 
{
    .classname
    {
          font-size:10px;
    }
}

The above code makes the size of the font '10px' when the screen is zoomed to approximately 125%. You can check for different zoom level by changing the value of '1000px'.

Accuracy Score ValueError: Can't Handle mix of binary and continuous target

Despite the plethora of wrong answers here that attempt to circumvent the error by numerically manipulating the predictions, the root cause of your error is a theoretical and not computational issue: you are trying to use a classification metric (accuracy) in a regression (i.e. numeric prediction) model (LinearRegression), which is meaningless.

Just like the majority of performance metrics, accuracy compares apples to apples (i.e true labels of 0/1 with predictions again of 0/1); so, when you ask the function to compare binary true labels (apples) with continuous predictions (oranges), you get an expected error, where the message tells you exactly what the problem is from a computational point of view:

Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous target

Despite that the message doesn't tell you directly that you are trying to compute a metric that is invalid for your problem (and we shouldn't actually expect it to go that far), it is certainly a good thing that scikit-learn at least gives you a direct and explicit warning that you are attempting something wrong; this is not necessarily the case with other frameworks - see for example the behavior of Keras in a very similar situation, where you get no warning at all, and one just ends up complaining for low "accuracy" in a regression setting...

I am super-surprised with all the other answers here (including the accepted & highly upvoted one) effectively suggesting to manipulate the predictions in order to simply get rid of the error; it's true that, once we end up with a set of numbers, we can certainly start mingling with them in various ways (rounding, thresholding etc) in order to make our code behave, but this of course does not mean that our numeric manipulations are meaningful in the specific context of the ML problem we are trying to solve.

So, to wrap up: the problem is that you are applying a metric (accuracy) that is inappropriate for your model (LinearRegression): if you are in a classification setting, you should change your model (e.g. use LogisticRegression instead); if you are in a regression (i.e. numeric prediction) setting, you should change the metric. Check the list of metrics available in scikit-learn, where you can confirm that accuracy is used only in classification.

Compare also the situation with a recent SO question, where the OP is trying to get the accuracy of a list of models:

models = []
models.append(('SVM', svm.SVC()))
models.append(('LR', LogisticRegression()))
models.append(('LDA', LinearDiscriminantAnalysis()))
models.append(('KNN', KNeighborsClassifier()))
models.append(('CART', DecisionTreeClassifier()))
models.append(('NB', GaussianNB()))
#models.append(('SGDRegressor', linear_model.SGDRegressor())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('BayesianRidge', linear_model.BayesianRidge())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('LassoLars', linear_model.LassoLars())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('ARDRegression', linear_model.ARDRegression())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('PassiveAggressiveRegressor', linear_model.PassiveAggressiveRegressor())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('TheilSenRegressor', linear_model.TheilSenRegressor())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets
#models.append(('LinearRegression', linear_model.LinearRegression())) #ValueError: Classification metrics can't handle a mix of binary and continuous targets

where the first 6 models work OK, while all the rest (commented-out) ones give the same error. By now, you should be able to convince yourself that all the commented-out models are regression (and not classification) ones, hence the justified error.

A last important note: it may sound legitimate for someone to claim:

OK, but I want to use linear regression and then just round/threshold the outputs, effectively treating the predictions as "probabilities" and thus converting the model into a classifier

Actually, this has already been suggested in several other answers here, implicitly or not; again, this is an invalid approach (and the fact that you have negative predictions should have already alerted you that they cannot be interpreted as probabilities). Andrew Ng, in his popular Machine Learning course at Coursera, explains why this is a bad idea - see his Lecture 6.1 - Logistic Regression | Classification at Youtube (explanation starts at ~ 3:00), as well as section 4.2 Why Not Linear Regression [for classification]? of the (highly recommended and freely available) textbook An Introduction to Statistical Learning by Hastie, Tibshirani and coworkers...

Dynamic array in C#

Use the array list which is actually implement array. It takes initially array of size 4 and when it gets full, a new array is created with its double size and the data of first array get copied into second array, now the new item is inserted into new array. Also the name of second array creates an alias of first so that it can be accessed by the same name as previous and the first array gets disposed

Why use pip over easy_install?

Many of the answers here are out of date for 2015 (although the initially accepted one from Daniel Roseman is not). Here's the current state of things:

  • Binary packages are now distributed as wheels (.whl files)—not just on PyPI, but in third-party repositories like Christoph Gohlke's Extension Packages for Windows. pip can handle wheels; easy_install cannot.
  • Virtual environments (which come built-in with 3.4, or can be added to 2.6+/3.1+ with virtualenv) have become a very important and prominent tool (and recommended in the official docs); they include pip out of the box, but don't even work properly with easy_install.
  • The distribute package that included easy_install is no longer maintained. Its improvements over setuptools got merged back into setuptools. Trying to install distribute will just install setuptools instead.
  • easy_install itself is only quasi-maintained.
  • All of the cases where pip used to be inferior to easy_install—installing from an unpacked source tree, from a DVCS repo, etc.—are long-gone; you can pip install ., pip install git+https://.
  • pip comes with the official Python 2.7 and 3.4+ packages from python.org, and a pip bootstrap is included by default if you build from source.
  • The various incomplete bits of documentation on installing, using, and building packages have been replaced by the Python Packaging User Guide. Python's own documentation on Installing Python Modules now defers to this user guide, and explicitly calls out pip as "the preferred installer program".
  • Other new features have been added to pip over the years that will never be in easy_install. For example, pip makes it easy to clone your site-packages by building a requirements file and then installing it with a single command on each side. Or to convert your requirements file to a local repo to use for in-house development. And so on.

The only good reason that I know of to use easy_install in 2015 is the special case of using Apple's pre-installed Python versions with OS X 10.5-10.8. Since 10.5, Apple has included easy_install, but as of 10.10 they still don't include pip. With 10.9+, you should still just use get-pip.py, but for 10.5-10.8, this has some problems, so it's easier to sudo easy_install pip. (In general, easy_install pip is a bad idea; it's only for OS X 10.5-10.8 that you want to do this.) Also, 10.5-10.8 include readline in a way that easy_install knows how to kludge around but pip doesn't, so you also want to sudo easy_install readline if you want to upgrade that.

How do you use window.postMessage across domains?

Here is an example that works on Chrome 5.0.375.125.

The page B (iframe content):

<html>
    <head></head>

        <script>
            top.postMessage('hello', 'A');
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Note the use of top.postMessage or parent.postMessage not window.postMessage here

The page A:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <iframe src="B"></iframe>
    <script>
        window.addEventListener( "message",
          function (e) {
                if(e.origin !== 'B'){ return; } 
                alert(e.data);
          },
          false);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

A and B must be something like http://domain.com

From another question, it looks the domains(A and B here) must have a / for the postMessage to work properly.

PHP/MySQL: How to create a comment section in your website

Create a new table called comments

They should have a column containing the id of the post they are assigned to.

Make a form which adds a new comment to that table.

An example (not tested so may contain lil' syntax errors): I call a page with comments a post

Post.php

<!-- Post content here -->

<!-- Then cmments below -->
<h1>Comments</h1>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comments WHERE postid=0");
//0 should be the current post's id
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
?>
<div class="comment">
By: <?php echo $row->author; //Or similar in your table ?>
<p>
<?php echo;$row->body; ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
<h1>Leave a comment:</h1>
<form action="insertcomment.php" method="post">
<!-- Here the shit they must fill out -->
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="<?php //your posts id ?>" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

insertcomment.php

<?php
//First check if everything is filled in
if(/*some statements*/)
{
//Do a mysql_real_escape_string() to all fields

//Then insert comment
mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments VALUES ($author,$postid,$body,$etc)");
}
else
{
die("Fill out everything please. Mkay.");
}
?>

You must change the code a bit to make it work. I'n not doing your homework. Only a part of it ;)

How do I filter query objects by date range in Django?

Is simple,

YourModel.objects.filter(YOUR_DATE_FIELD__date=timezone.now())

Works for me

Iteration ng-repeat only X times in AngularJs

All answers here seem to assume that items is an array. However, in AngularJS, it might as well be an object. In that case, neither filtering with limitTo nor array.slice will work. As one possible solution, you can convert your object to an array, if you don't mind losing the object keys. Here is an example of a filter to do just that:

myFilter.filter('obj2arr', function() {
    return function(obj) {
        if (typeof obj === 'object') {
            var arr = [], i = 0, key;
            for( key in obj ) {
                arr[i] = obj[key];
                i++;
            }
            return arr;
        }
        else {
            return obj;
        }

    };
});

Once it is an array, use slice or limitTo, as stated in other answers.

How to get a Color from hexadecimal Color String

There is no pre-defined class to implement directly from hex code to color name so what you have to do is Try key value pair concept simple, follow this code.

_x000D_
_x000D_
String hexCode = "Any Hex code" //#0000FF

HashMap<String, String> color_namme = new HashMap<String, String>();
                        color_namme.put("#000000", "Black");
                        color_namme.put("#000080", "Navy Blue");
                        color_namme.put("#0000C8", "Dark Blue");
                        color_namme.put("0000FF", "Blue");

How do I install and use the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit in my .NET 3.5 web applications?

It's really simple, just download the latest toolkit from Codeplex and add the extracted AjaxControlToolkit.dll to your toolbox in Visual Studio by right clicking the toolbox and selecting 'choose items'. You will then have the controls in your Visual STudio toolbox and using them is just a matter of dragging and dropping them onto your form, of course don't forget to add a asp:ScriptManager to every page that uses controls from the toolkit, or optionally include it in your master page only and your content pages will inherit the script manager.

How do I use DrawerLayout to display over the ActionBar/Toolbar and under the status bar?

Instead of using the ScrimInsetsFrameLayout... Isn't it easier to just add a view with a fixed height of 24dp and a background of primaryColor?

I understand that this involves adding a dummy view in the hierarchy, but it seems cleaner to me.

I already tried it and it's working well.

What's the difference between a POST and a PUT HTTP REQUEST?

It should be pretty straightforward when to use one or the other, but complex wordings are a source of confusion for many of us.

When to use them:

  • Use PUT when you want to modify a singular resource that is already a part of resource collection. PUT replaces the resource in its entirety. Example: PUT /resources/:resourceId

    Sidenote: Use PATCH if you want to update a part of the resource.


  • Use POST when you want to add a child resource under a collection of resources.
    Example: POST => /resources

In general:

  • Generally, in practice, always use PUT for UPDATE operations.
  • Always use POST for CREATE operations.

Example:

GET /company/reports => Get all reports
GET /company/reports/{id} => Get the report information identified by "id"
POST /company/reports => Create a new report
PUT /company/reports/{id} => Update the report information identified by "id"
PATCH /company/reports/{id} => Update a part of the report information identified by "id"
DELETE /company/reports/{id} => Delete report by "id"

How do you create a toggle button?

If you want a proper button then you'll need some javascript. Something like this (needs some work on the styling but you get the gist). Wouldn't bother using jquery for something so trivial to be honest.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.on { 
border:1px outset;
color:#369;
background:#efefef; 
}

.off {
border:1px outset;
color:#369;
background:#f9d543; 
}
</style>

<script language="javascript">
function togglestyle(el){
    if(el.className == "on") {
        el.className="off";
    } else {
        el.className="on";
    }
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<input type="button" id="btn" value="button" class="off" onclick="togglestyle(this)" />
</body>

Can I override and overload static methods in Java?

From Why doesn't Java allow overriding of static methods?

Overriding depends on having an instance of a class. The point of polymorphism is that you can subclass a class and the objects implementing those subclasses will have different behaviors for the same methods defined in the superclass (and overridden in the subclasses). A static method is not associated with any instance of a class so the concept is not applicable.

There were two considerations driving Java's design that impacted this. One was a concern with performance: there had been a lot of criticism of Smalltalk about it being too slow (garbage collection and polymorphic calls being part of that) and Java's creators were determined to avoid that. Another was the decision that the target audience for Java was C++ developers. Making static methods work the way they do have the benefit of familiarity for C++ programmers and were also very fast because there's no need to wait until runtime to figure out which method to call.

Java 9 & Unified JVM Logging

JEP 158 introduces a common logging system for all components of the JVM which will change (and IMO simplify) how logging works with GC. JEP 158 added a new command-line option to control logging from all components of the JVM:

-Xlog

For example, the following option:

-Xlog:gc

will log messages tagged with gc tag using info level to stdout. Or this one:

-Xlog:gc=debug:file=gc.txt:none

would log messages tagged with gc tag using debug level to a file called gc.txt with no decorations. For more detailed discussion, you can checkout the examples in the JEP page.

How to create a new img tag with JQuery, with the src and id from a JavaScript object?

You save some bytes by avoiding the .attr altogether by passing the properties to the jQuery constructor:

var img = $('<img />',
             { id: 'Myid',
               src: 'MySrc.gif', 
               width: 300
             })
              .appendTo($('#YourDiv'));

How to get element-wise matrix multiplication (Hadamard product) in numpy?

Try this:

a = np.matrix([[1,2], [3,4]])
b = np.matrix([[5,6], [7,8]])

#This would result a 'numpy.ndarray'
result = np.array(a) * np.array(b)

Here, np.array(a) returns a 2D array of type ndarray and multiplication of two ndarray would result element wise multiplication. So the result would be:

result = [[5, 12], [21, 32]]

If you wanna get a matrix, the do it with this:

result = np.mat(result)

Javascript to stop HTML5 video playback on modal window close

I'm using the following trick to stop HTML5 video. pause() the video on modal close and set currentTime = 0;

<script>
     var video = document.getElementById("myVideoPlayer");
     function stopVideo(){
          video.pause();
          video.currentTime = 0;
     }
</script>

Now you can use stopVideo() method to stop HTML5 video. Like,

$("#stop").on('click', function(){
    stopVideo();
});

LaTeX source code listing like in professional books

And please, whatever you do, configure the listings package to use fixed-width font (as in your example; you'll find the option in the documentation). Default setting uses proportional font typeset on a grid, which is, IMHO, incredibly ugly and unreadable, as can be seen from the other answers with pictures. I am personally very irritated when I must read some code typeset in a proportional font.

Try setting fixed-width font with this:

Difference between maven scope compile and provided for JAR packaging

  • compile

Make available into class path, don't add this dependency into final jar if it is normal jar; but add this jar into jar if final jar is a single jar (for example, executable jar)

  • provided

Dependency will be available at run time environment so don't add this dependency in any case; even not in single jar (i.e. executable jar etc)

Why is setState in reactjs Async instead of Sync?

I know this question is old, but it has been causing a lot of confusion for many reactjs users for a long time, including me. Recently Dan Abramov (from the react team) just wrote up a great explanation as to why the nature of setState is async:

https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11527#issuecomment-360199710

setState is meant to be asynchronous, and there are a few really good reasons for that in the linked explanation by Dan Abramov. This doesn't mean it will always be asynchronous - it mainly means that you just can't depend on it being synchronous. ReactJS takes into consideration many variables in the scenario that you're changing the state in, to decide when the state should actually be updated and your component rerendered.
A simple example to demonstrate this, is that if you call setState as a reaction to a user action, then the state will probably be updated immediately (although, again, you can't count on it), so the user won't feel any delay, but if you call setState in reaction to an ajax call response or some other event that isn't triggered by the user, then the state might be updated with a slight delay, since the user won't really feel this delay, and it will improve performance by waiting to batch multiple state updates together and rerender the DOM fewer times.

Change location of log4j.properties

Refer to this example taken from - http://www.dzone.com/tutorials/java/log4j/sample-log4j-properties-file-configuration-1.html

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;

public class HelloWorld {

    static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(HelloWorld.class);
    static final String path = "src/resources/log4j.properties";

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        PropertyConfigurator.configure(path);
        logger.debug("Sample debug message");
        logger.info("Sample info message");
        logger.warn("Sample warn message");
        logger.error("Sample error message");
        logger.fatal("Sample fatal message");
    }
}

To change the logger levels - Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.INFO);

Laravel: How to Get Current Route Name? (v5 ... v7)

Redirect all to index.php using htaccess

You can use something like this:

This will redirect every query to the root directory's index.php. Note that it will also redirect queries for files that exist, such as images, javascript files or style sheets.

PHP convert date format dd/mm/yyyy => yyyy-mm-dd

Dates in the m/d/y or d-m-y formats are disambiguated by looking at the separator between the various components: if the separator is a slash (/), then the American m/d/y is assumed; whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed. Check more here.

Use the default date function.

$var = "20/04/2012";
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime($var) );

EDIT I just tested it, and somehow, PHP doesn't work well with dd/mm/yyyy format. Here's another solution.

$var = '20/04/2012';
$date = str_replace('/', '-', $var);
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));

Python - Locating the position of a regex match in a string?

You could use .find("is"), it would return position of "is" in the string

or use .start() from re

>>> re.search("is", String).start()
2

Actually its match "is" from "This"

If you need to match per word, you should use \b before and after "is", \b is the word boundary.

>>> re.search(r"\bis\b", String).start()
5
>>>

Convert integer value to matching Java Enum

You could add a static method in your enum that accepts an int as a parameter and returns a PcapLinkType.

public static PcapLinkType of(int linkType) {

    switch (linkType) {
        case -1: return DLT_UNKNOWN
        case 0: return DLT_NULL;

        //ETC....

        default: return null;

    }
}

How can I access a hover state in reactjs?

I know the accepted answer is great but for anyone who is looking for a hover like feel you can use setTimeout on mouseover and save the handle in a map (of let's say list ids to setTimeout Handle). On mouseover clear the handle from setTimeout and delete it from the map

onMouseOver={() => this.onMouseOver(someId)}
onMouseOut={() => this.onMouseOut(someId)

And implement the map as follows:

onMouseOver(listId: string) {
  this.setState({
    ... // whatever
  });

  const handle = setTimeout(() => {
    scrollPreviewToComponentId(listId);
  }, 1000); // Replace 1000ms with any time you feel is good enough for your hover action
  this.hoverHandleMap[listId] = handle;
}

onMouseOut(listId: string) {
  this.setState({
    ... // whatever
  });

  const handle = this.hoverHandleMap[listId];
  clearTimeout(handle);
  delete this.hoverHandleMap[listId];
}

And the map is like so,

hoverHandleMap: { [listId: string]: NodeJS.Timeout } = {};

I prefer onMouseOver and onMouseOut because it also applies to all the children in the HTMLElement. If this is not required you may use onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave respectively.

Get rid of "The value for annotation attribute must be a constant expression" message

The value for an annotation must be a compile time constant, so there is no simple way of doing what you are trying to do.

See also here: How to supply value to an annotation from a Constant java

It is possible to use some compile time tools (ant, maven?) to config it if the value is known before you try to run the program.

Removing element from array in component state

Just a suggestion,in your code instead of using let newData = prevState.data you could use spread which is introduced in ES6 that is you can uselet newData = ...prevState.data for copying array

Three dots ... represents Spread Operators or Rest Parameters,

It allows an array expression or string or anything which can be iterating to be expanded in places where zero or more arguments for function calls or elements for array are expected.

Additionally you can delete item from array with following

onRemovePerson: function(index) {
  this.setState((prevState) => ({
    data: [...prevState.data.slice(0,index), ...prevState.data.slice(index+1)]
  }))
}

Hope this contributes!!

Authentication failed because remote party has closed the transport stream

I ran into the same error message while using the ChargifyNET.dll to communicate with the Chargify API. Adding chargify.ProtocolType = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12; to the configuration solved the problem for me.

Here is the complete code snippet:

public ChargifyConnect GetChargifyConnect()
{
    var chargify = new ChargifyConnect();
    chargify.apiKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Chargify.apiKey"];
    chargify.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Chargify.apiPassword"];
    chargify.URL = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Chargify.url"];

    // Without this an error will be thrown.
    chargify.ProtocolType = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

    return chargify;
}

How can I properly handle 404 in ASP.NET MVC?

The only way I could get @cottsak's method to work for invalid controllers was to modify the existing route request in the CustomControllerFactory, like so:

public class CustomControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
    protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
    {
        try
        {
            if (controllerType == null)
                return base.GetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType); 
            else
                return ObjectFactory.GetInstance(controllerType) as Controller;
        }
        catch (HttpException ex)
        {
            if (ex.GetHttpCode() == (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
            {
                requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = "Error";
                requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = "Http404";
                requestContext.RouteData.Values.Add("url", requestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.OriginalString);

                return ObjectFactory.GetInstance<ErrorController>();
            }
            else
                throw ex;
        }
    }
}

I should mention I'm using MVC 2.0.

How to drop rows from pandas data frame that contains a particular string in a particular column?

Slight modification to the code. Having na=False will skip empty values. Otherwise you can get an error TypeError: bad operand type for unary ~: float

df[~df.C.str.contains("XYZ", na=False)]

Source: TypeError: bad operand type for unary ~: float

How do I search for a pattern within a text file using Python combining regex & string/file operations and store instances of the pattern?

Doing it in one bulk read:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
filetext = textfile.read()
textfile.close()
matches = re.findall("(<(\d{4,5})>)?", filetext)

Line by line:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
matches = []
reg = re.compile("(<(\d{4,5})>)?")
for line in textfile:
    matches += reg.findall(line)
textfile.close()

But again, the matches that returns will not be useful for anything except counting unless you added an offset counter:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
matches = []
offset = 0
reg = re.compile("(<(\d{4,5})>)?")
for line in textfile:
    matches += [(reg.findall(line),offset)]
    offset += len(line)
textfile.close()

But it still just makes more sense to read the whole file in at once.

Check if PHP-page is accessed from an iOS device

Use the user agent from $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], and for simple detection you can use this script:

<?php

//Detect special conditions devices
$iPod    = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPod");
$iPhone  = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
$iPad    = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPad");
$Android = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"Android");
$webOS   = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"webOS");

//do something with this information
if( $iPod || $iPhone ){
    //browser reported as an iPhone/iPod touch -- do something here
}else if($iPad){
    //browser reported as an iPad -- do something here
}else if($Android){
    //browser reported as an Android device -- do something here
}else if($webOS){
    //browser reported as a webOS device -- do something here
}

?> 

If you want to know more details of the user device I recommended to use one of the following solutions: http://51degrees.mobi or http://deviceatlas.com

Streaming via RTSP or RTP in HTML5

Removing duplicates from a SQL query (not just "use distinct")

You need to tell the query what value to pick for the other columns, MIN or MAX seem like suitable choices.

   PICTURES P,
   POSTINGS P1
 WHERE
   U.EMAIL_ID = P1.EMAIL_ID AND

   P.CAPTION LIKE '%car%'
 GROUP BY
   U.NAME;

Testing if a site is vulnerable to Sql Injection

SQL injection is the attempt to issue SQL commands to a database through a website interface, to gain other information. Namely, this information is stored database information such as usernames and passwords.

First rule of securing any script or page that attaches to a database instance is Do not trust user input.

Your example is attempting to end a misquoted string in an SQL statement. To understand this, you first need to understand SQL statements. In your example of adding a ' to a paramater, your 'injection' is hoping for the following type of statement:

SELECT username,password FROM users WHERE username='$username'

By appending a ' to that statement, you could then add additional SQL paramaters or queries.: ' OR username --

SELECT username,password FROM users WHERE username='' OR username -- '$username

That is an injection (one type of; Query Reshaping). The user input becomes an injected statement into the pre-written SQL statement.

Generally there are three types of SQL injection methods:

  • Query Reshaping or redirection (above)
  • Error message based (No such user/password)
  • Blind Injections

Read up on SQL Injection, How to test for vulnerabilities, understanding and overcoming SQL injection, and this question (and related ones) on StackOverflow about avoiding injections.

Edit:

As far as TESTING your site for SQL injection, understand it gets A LOT more complex than just 'append a symbol'. If your site is critical, and you (or your company) can afford it, hire a professional pen tester. Failing that, this great exaxmple/proof can show you some common techniques one might use to perform an injection test. There is also SQLMap which can automate some tests for SQL Injection and database take over scenarios.

Select all elements with a "data-xxx" attribute without using jQuery

document.querySelectorAll("[data-foo]")

will get you all elements with that attribute.

document.querySelectorAll("[data-foo='1']")

will only get you ones with a value of 1.

JavaScript - Use variable in string match

You have to use RegExp object if your pattern is string

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = "i";
var rgxp = new RegExp(yyy, "g");
alert(xxx.match(rgxp).length);

If pattern is not dynamic string:

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = /i/g;
alert(xxx.match(yyy).length);

How do you know if Tomcat Server is installed on your PC

The port 8005 is used as service port. You can send a shutdown command (a configurable password) to that port. It will not "speak" HTTP, so you cannot use your browser to connect.

The default port for delivering web-content is 8080.

But there may be other applications listen to that port. So your tomcat may not start, if the port is not available.

You asked "How do you know, if tomcat server is installed on your PC?". The answer to that question is: You can't

You can't determine, if it is installed, because it may be only extracted from a ZIP archive or packaged within another application (Like JBoss AS (I think)).

How I can get web page's content and save it into the string variable

I recommend not using WebClient.DownloadString. This is because (at least in .NET 3.5) DownloadString is not smart enough to use/remove the BOM, should it be present. This can result in the BOM () incorrectly appearing as part of the string when UTF-8 data is returned (at least without a charset) - ick!

Instead, this slight variation will work correctly with BOMs:

string ReadTextFromUrl(string url) {
    // WebClient is still convenient
    // Assume UTF8, but detect BOM - could also honor response charset I suppose
    using (var client = new WebClient())
    using (var stream = client.OpenRead(url))
    using (var textReader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8, true)) {
        return textReader.ReadToEnd();
    }
}

Throwing exceptions from constructors

Throwing an exception is the best way of dealing with constructor failure. You should particularly avoid half-constructing an object and then relying on users of your class to detect construction failure by testing flag variables of some sort.

On a related point, the fact that you have several different exception types for dealing with mutex errors worries me slightly. Inheritance is a great tool, but it can be over-used. In this case I would probably prefer a single MutexError exception, possibly containing an informative error message.

Scheduling Python Script to run every hour accurately

Maybe this can help: Advanced Python Scheduler

Here's a small piece of code from their documentation:

scheduler = BlockingScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(some_job, 'interval', hours=1)
scheduler.start()

403 Access Denied on Tomcat 8 Manager App without prompting for user/password

I follwed the same tutorial but after some months I strangely got the error "403 Access Denied" while tryed to use Manager App. In this case I was using the ipaddress:8080 in the address bar and Tomcat Manager App didin't prompting for user/password. In case of localhost:8080 the error was "401", the dialogbox asking for username and password was displayed but the user not recognized.

I tried all the previous suggestions / solutions without lucky. The only way I found is been to repeat again the entire tutorial overwriting also the files. When finished, I found again the old deployed project into the webapps directory. Now Apache Tomcat/8.5.16 Manager App are working again. I do not know what happened I didn't understand also because I'm a newbie in Tomcat user

Concatenate a list of pandas dataframes together

Given that all the dataframes have the same columns, you can simply concat them:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.concat(list_of_dataframes)

jQuery: using a variable as a selector

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

How to get arguments with flags in Bash

I propose a simple TLDR:; example for the un-initiated.

Create a bash script called helloworld.sh

#!/bin/bash

while getopts "n:" arg; do
  case $arg in
    n) Name=$OPTARG;;
  esac
done

echo "Hello $Name!"

You can then pass an optional parameter -n when executing the script.

Execute the script as such:

$ bash helloworld.sh -n 'World'

Output

$ Hello World!

Notes

If you'd like to use multiple parameters:

  1. extend while getops "n:" arg: do with more paramaters such as while getops "n:o:p:" arg: do
  2. extend the case switch with extra variable assignments. Such as o) Option=$OPTARG and p) Parameter=$OPTARG

Adding an img element to a div with javascript

It should be:

document.getElementById("placehere").appendChild(elem);

And place your div before your javascript, because if you don't, the javascript executes before the div exists. Or wait for it to load. So your code looks like this:

<html>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
var elem = document.createElement("img");
elem.setAttribute("src", "http://img.zohostatic.com/discussions/v1/images/defaultPhoto.png");
elem.setAttribute("height", "768");
elem.setAttribute("width", "1024");
elem.setAttribute("alt", "Flower");
document.getElementById("placehere").appendChild(elem);
}
</script>
<div id="placehere">

</div>

</body>
</html>

To prove my point, see this with the onload and this without the onload. Fire up the console and you'll find an error stating that the div doesn't exist or cannot find appendChild method of null.

How to detect iPhone 5 (widescreen devices)?

use the following Code:

CGFloat screenScale = [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale];

CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]; 

CGSize screenSize = CGSizeMake(screenBounds.size.width * screenScale, screenBounds.size.height * screenScale); 

if (screenSize.height==1136.000000)
{ 
    // Here iPhone 5 View

    // Eg: Nextview~iPhone5.Xib
} else {
   // Previous Phones 

   // Eg : Nextview.xib
}

How do I set headers using python's urllib?

For both Python 3 and Python 2, this works:

try:
    from urllib.request import Request, urlopen  # Python 3
except ImportError:
    from urllib2 import Request, urlopen  # Python 2

req = Request('http://api.company.com/items/details?country=US&language=en')
req.add_header('apikey', 'xxx')
content = urlopen(req).read()

print(content)

Change an image with onclick()

The most you could do is to trigger a background image change when hovering the LI. If you want something to happen upon clicking an LI and then staying that way, then you'll need to use some JS.

I would name the images starting with bw_ and clr_ and just use JS to swap between them.

example:

$("#images").find('img').bind("click", function() {
  var src = $(this).attr("src"), 
      state = (src.indexOf("bw_") === 0) ? 'bw' : 'clr';

  (state === 'bw') ? src = src.replace('bw_','clr_') : src = src.replace('clr_','bw_');  

  $(this).attr("src", src);

});
