Programs & Examples On #Ob start

ob_start is a PHP function which turns output buffering on. While output buffering is active no output is sent from the script (other than headers), instead the output is stored in an internal buffer.

Truncate all tables in a MySQL database in one command?

No. There is no single command to truncate all mysql tables at once. You will have to create a small script to truncate the tables one by one.

Set cURL to use local virtual hosts

Actually, curl has an option explicitly for this: --resolve

Instead of curl -H 'Host: yada.com' http://127.0.0.1/something

use curl --resolve 'yada.com:80:127.0.0.1' http://yada.com/something

What's the difference, you ask?

Among others, this works with HTTPS. Assuming your local server has a certificate for yada.com, the first example above will fail because the yada.com certificate doesn't match the 127.0.0.1 hostname in the URL.

The second example works correctly with HTTPS.

In essence, passing a "Host" header via -H does hack your Host into the header set, but bypasses all of curl's host-specific intelligence. Using --resolve leverages all of the normal logic that applies, but simply pretends the DNS lookup returned the data in your command-line option. It works just like /etc/hosts should.

Note --resolve takes a port number, so for HTTPS you would use

curl --resolve 'yada.com:443:127.0.0.1' https://yada.com/something

How to fill in proxy information in cntlm config file?

The solution takes two steps!

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

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

Then test cntlm with a command such as

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

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

Auth            NTLM
PassNT          A2A7104B1CE00000000000000007E1E1
PassLM          C66000000000000000000000008060C8

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

http://localhost:3128

phpmysql error - #1273 - #1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_general_ci'

You can fix this issue by deleting browser cookie from the begining of time. I have tried this and it is working fine for me.

To delete only cookies:

  1. hold down ctrl+shift+delete
  2. remove all check boxes except for cookies of course
  3. use the drop down on top to select "from the beginning of time
  4. click clear browsing data

How do I get the unix timestamp in C as an int?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main ()
{
   time_t seconds;

   seconds = time(NULL);
   printf("Seconds since January 1, 1970 = %ld\n", seconds);

   return(0);
}

And will get similar result:
Seconds since January 1, 1970 = 1476107865

Facebook how to check if user has liked page and show content?

UPDATE 21/11/2012 @ALL : I have updated the example so that it works better and takes into accounts remarks from Chris Jacob and FB Best practices, have a look of working example here


Hi So as promised here is my answer using only javascript :

The content of the BODY of the page :

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
  FB.init({
    appId  : 'YOUR APP ID',
    status : true, 
    cookie : true, 
    xfbml  : true  
  });
</script>

<div id="container_notlike">
YOU DONT LIKE
</div>

<div id="container_like">
YOU LIKE
</div>

The CSS :

body {
width:520px;
margin:0; padding:0; border:0;
font-family: verdana;
background:url(repeat.png) repeat;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
p, h1 {width:450px; margin-left:50px; color:#FFF;}
p {font-size:11px;}

#container_notlike, #container_like {
    display:none
}

And finally the javascript :

$(document).ready(function(){

    FB.login(function(response) {
      if (response.session) {

          var user_id = response.session.uid;
          var page_id = "40796308305"; //coca cola
          var fql_query = "SELECT uid FROM page_fan WHERE page_id = "+page_id+"and uid="+user_id;
          var the_query = FB.Data.query(fql_query);

          the_query.wait(function(rows) {

              if (rows.length == 1 && rows[0].uid == user_id) {
                  $("#container_like").show();

                  //here you could also do some ajax and get the content for a "liker" instead of simply showing a hidden div in the page.

              } else {
                  $("#container_notlike").show();
                  //and here you could get the content for a non liker in ajax...
              }
          });


      } else {
        // user is not logged in
      }
    });

});

So what what does it do ?

First it logins to FB (if you already have the USER ID, and you are sure your user is already logged in facebook, you can bypass the login stuff and replace response.session.uid with YOUR_USER_ID (from your rails app for example)

After that it makes a FQL query on the page_fan table, and the meaning is that if the user is a fan of the page, it returns the user id and otherwise it returns an empty array, after that and depending on the results its show a div or the other.

Also there is a working demo here : http://jsfiddle.net/dwarfy/X4bn6/

It's using the coca-cola page as an example, try it go and like/unlike the coca cola page and run it again ...

Finally some related docs :

FQL page_fan table

FBJS FB.Data.query

Don't hesitate if you have any question ..

Cheers

UPDATE 2

As stated by somebody, jQuery is required for the javascript version to work BUT you could easily remove it (it's only used for the document.ready and show/hide).

For the document.ready, you could wrap your code in a function and use body onload="your_function" or something more complicated like here : Javascript - How to detect if document has loaded (IE 7/Firefox 3) so that we replace document ready.

And for the show and hide stuff you could use something like : document.getElementById("container_like").style.display = "none" or "block" and for more reliable cross browser techniques see here : http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum91/441.htm

But jQuery is so easy :)

UPDATE

Relatively to the comment I posted here below here is some ruby code to decode the "signed_request" that facebook POST to your CANVAS URL when it fetches it for display inside facebook.

In your action controller :

decoded_request = Canvas.parse_signed_request(params[:signed_request])

And then its a matter of checking the decoded request and display one page or another .. (Not sure about this one, I'm not comfortable with ruby)

decoded_request['page']['liked']

And here is the related Canvas Class (from fbgraph ruby library) :

 class Canvas

    class << self
      def parse_signed_request(secret_id,request)
        encoded_sig, payload = request.split('.', 2)
        sig = ""
        urldecode64(encoded_sig).each_byte { |b|
          sig << "%02x" % b
        }
        data = JSON.parse(urldecode64(payload))
          if data['algorithm'].to_s.upcase != 'HMAC-SHA256'
          raise "Bad signature algorithm: %s" % data['algorithm']
        end
        expected_sig = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('sha256', secret_id, payload)
        if expected_sig != sig
          raise "Bad signature"
        end
        data
      end

      private

      def urldecode64(str)
        encoded_str = str.gsub('-','+').gsub('_','/')
        encoded_str += '=' while !(encoded_str.size % 4).zero?
        Base64.decode64(encoded_str)
      end
    end  

 end

What's the equivalent of Java's Thread.sleep() in JavaScript?

This eventually helped me:

    var x = 0;
    var buttonText = 'LOADING';

    $('#startbutton').click(function(){
        $(this).text(buttonText);
        window.setTimeout(addDotToButton,2000);
    })

    function addDotToButton(){
        x++;
        buttonText += '.';
        $('#startbutton').text(buttonText);

        if (x < 4) window.setTimeout(addDotToButton, 2000);
        else location.reload(true);
    }

Django - how to create a file and save it to a model's FileField?

It's good practice to use a context manager or call close() in case of exceptions during the file saving process. Could happen if your storage backend is down, etc.

Any overwrite behavior should be configured in your storage backend. For example S3Boto3Storage has a setting AWS_S3_FILE_OVERWRITE. If you're using FileSystemStorage you can write a custom mixin.

You might also want to call the model's save method instead of the FileField's save method if you want any custom side-effects to happen, like last-updated timestamps. If that's the case, you can also set the name attribute of the file to the name of the file - which is relative to MEDIA_ROOT. It defaults to the full path of the file which can cause problems if you don't set it - see File.__init__() and File.name.

Here's an example where self is the model instance where my_file is the FileField / ImageFile, calling save() on the whole model instance instead of just FileField:

import os
from django.core.files import File

with open(filepath, 'rb') as fi:
    self.my_file = File(fi, name=os.path.basename(fi.name))
    self.save()

How to set UICollectionViewCell Width and Height programmatically

Make sure to add the protocol UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout in your class declaration

class MyCollectionViewController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout
{
    //MARK: - UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize
    {
       return CGSize(width: 100.0, height: 100.0)
    }
}

CSS Div stretch 100% page height

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

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

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

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

The CSS:

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

The html:

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

Why?

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

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

/exclude in xcopy just for a file type

In my case I had to start a list of exclude extensions from the second line because xcopy ignored the first line.

c# Image resizing to different size while preserving aspect ratio

Here's a less specific extension method that works with Image rather than doing the loading and saving for you. It also allows you to specify interpolation method and correctly renders edges when you use NearestNeighbour interpolation.

The image will be rendered within the bounds of the area you specify so you always know your output width and height. e.g:

Scaled within bounds

namespace YourApp
{
    #region Namespaces
    using System;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Drawing.Imaging;
    using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
    #endregion

    /// <summary>Generic helper functions related to graphics.</summary>
    public static class ImageExtensions
    {
        /// <summary>Resizes an image to a new width and height value.</summary>
        /// <param name="image">The image to resize.</param>
        /// <param name="newWidth">The width of the new image.</param>
        /// <param name="newHeight">The height of the new image.</param>
        /// <param name="mode">Interpolation mode.</param>
        /// <param name="maintainAspectRatio">If true, the image is centered in the middle of the returned image, maintaining the aspect ratio of the original image.</param>
        /// <returns>The new image. The old image is unaffected.</returns>
        public static Image ResizeImage(this Image image, int newWidth, int newHeight, InterpolationMode mode = InterpolationMode.Default, bool maintainAspectRatio = false)
        {
            Bitmap output = new Bitmap(newWidth, newHeight, image.PixelFormat);

            using (Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(output))
            {
                gfx.Clear(Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0, 0));
                gfx.InterpolationMode = mode;
                if (mode == InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor)
                {
                    gfx.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
                    gfx.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
                }

                double ratioW = (double)newWidth / (double)image.Width;
                double ratioH = (double)newHeight / (double)image.Height;
                double ratio = ratioW < ratioH ? ratioW : ratioH;
                int insideWidth = (int)(image.Width * ratio);
                int insideHeight = (int)(image.Height * ratio);

                gfx.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle((newWidth / 2) - (insideWidth / 2), (newHeight / 2) - (insideHeight / 2), insideWidth, insideHeight));
            }

            return output;
        }
    }
}

JQuery show and hide div on mouse click (animate)

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$.fn.toggleFuncs = function() {
    var functions = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments),
    _this = this.click(function(){
        var i = _this.data('func_count') || 0;
        functions[i%functions.length]();
        _this.data('func_count', i+1);
    });
}
$('$showmenu').toggleFuncs(
        function() {
           $( ".menu" ).toggle( "drop" );
            },
            function() {
                $( ".menu" ).toggle( "drop" );
            }
); 

</script>

First fuction is an alternative to JQuery deprecated toggle :) . Works good with JQuery 2.0.3 and JQuery UI 1.10.3

How to set calculation mode to manual when opening an excel file?

The best way around this would be to create an Excel called 'launcher.xlsm' in the same folder as the file you wish to open. In the 'launcher' file put the following code in the 'Workbook' object, but set the constant TargetWBName to be the name of the file you wish to open.

Private Const TargetWBName As String = "myworkbook.xlsx"

'// First, a function to tell us if the workbook is already open...
Function WorkbookOpen(WorkBookName As String) As Boolean
' returns TRUE if the workbook is open
    WorkbookOpen = False
    On Error GoTo WorkBookNotOpen
    If Len(Application.Workbooks(WorkBookName).Name) > 0 Then
        WorkbookOpen = True
        Exit Function
    End If
WorkBookNotOpen:
End Function

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    'Check if our target workbook is open
    If WorkbookOpen(TargetWBName) = False Then
        'set calculation to manual
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & TargetWBName
        DoEvents
        Me.Close False
    End If
End Sub

Set the constant 'TargetWBName' to be the name of the workbook that you wish to open. This code will simply switch calculation to manual, then open the file. The launcher file will then automatically close itself. *NOTE: If you do not wish to be prompted to 'Enable Content' every time you open this file (depending on your security settings) you should temporarily remove the 'me.close' to prevent it from closing itself, save the file and set it to be trusted, and then re-enable the 'me.close' call before saving again. Alternatively, you could just set the False to True after Me.Close

C/C++ check if one bit is set in, i.e. int variable

One approach will be checking within the following condition:

if ( (mask >> bit ) & 1)

An explanation program will be:

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned int bitCheck(unsigned int mask, int pin);

int main(void){
   unsigned int mask = 6;  // 6 = 0110
   int pin0 = 0;
   int pin1 = 1;
   int pin2 = 2;
   int pin3 = 3;
   unsigned int bit0= bitCheck( mask, pin0);
   unsigned int bit1= bitCheck( mask, pin1);
   unsigned int bit2= bitCheck( mask, pin2);
   unsigned int bit3= bitCheck( mask, pin3);

   printf("Mask = %d ==>>  0110\n", mask);

   if ( bit0 == 1 ){
      printf("Pin %d is Set\n", pin0);
   }else{
      printf("Pin %d is not Set\n", pin0);
   }

    if ( bit1 == 1 ){
      printf("Pin %d is Set\n", pin1);
   }else{
      printf("Pin %d is not Set\n", pin1);
   }

   if ( bit2 == 1 ){
      printf("Pin %d is Set\n", pin2);
   }else{
      printf("Pin %d is not Set\n", pin2);
   }

   if ( bit3 == 1 ){
      printf("Pin %d is Set\n", pin3);
   }else{
      printf("Pin %d is not Set\n", pin3);
   }
}

unsigned int bitCheck(unsigned int mask, int bit){
   if ( (mask >> bit ) & 1){
      return 1;
   }else{
      return 0;
   }
}

Output:

Mask = 6 ==>>  0110
Pin 0 is not Set
Pin 1 is Set
Pin 2 is Set
Pin 3 is not Set

Hide text within HTML?

Not sure if this was what you were asking for, but I was personally trying to 'hide' some info in my html so that if someone inspected it, they would see the text in the source code.

It turns out that you can add ANY attribute, and so long as it isn't understood by the browser, it will just be left buried in the tag. My code was an easter egg: For people who couldn't afford to do the Makers Academy course, I basically encouraged them to inspect the element, where they would be given a secret URL where they could apply for a special, cut-price course (it's in haml, but it's the same idea in HTML):

.entry
        %h2 I can't afford to do the course... What should I do?
        %p{:url_you_should_visit => 'http://ronin.makersacademy.com'} Inspect and you shall find.

Or in html:

<p url_you_should_visit="http://ronin.makersacademy.com">Inspect and you shall find.</p>

Because 'url' is not a recognised html attribute, it makes no difference but is still discoverable. You could do the same with anything you wanted. You could have an attribute (in html) like:

<p thanks="Thanks to all the bloggers that helped me"> Some text </p>

And they'll be able to find your little easter egg if they want it... Hope that helps - it certainly helped me :)

iptables block access to port 8000 except from IP address

You can always use iptables to delete the rules. If you have a lot of rules, just output them using the following command.

iptables-save > myfile

vi to edit them from the commend line. Just use the "dd" to delete the lines you no longer want.

iptables-restore < myfile and you're good to go.  

REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DON'T CONFIGURE YOUR OS TO SAVE THE RULES TO A FILE AND THEN LOAD THE FILE DURING THE BOOT THAT YOUR RULES WILL BE LOST.

How to send data in request body with a GET when using jQuery $.ajax()

Just in case somebody ist still coming along this question:

There is a body query object in any request. You do not need to parse it yourself.

E.g. if you want to send an accessToken from a client with GET, you could do it like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const request = require('superagent');_x000D_
_x000D_
request.get(`http://localhost:3000/download?accessToken=${accessToken}`).end((err, res) => {_x000D_
  if (err) throw new Error(err);_x000D_
  console.log(res);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The server request object then looks like {request: { ... query: { accessToken: abcfed } ... } }

Android ListView Text Color

I needed to make a ListView with items of different colors. I modified Shardul's method a bit and result in this:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, colorString) {
            @Override
            public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                TextView textView = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                textView.setBackgroundColor(assignBackgroundColor(position));
                textView.setTextColor(assignTextColor(position));
                return textView;
            }
        };
        colorList.setAdapter(adapter);

assignBackgroundColor() and assignTextColor() are methods that assign color you want. They can be replaced with int[] arrays.

Equation for testing if a point is inside a circle

In general, x and y must satisfy (x - center_x)^2 + (y - center_y)^2 < radius^2.

Please note that points that satisfy the above equation with < replaced by == are considered the points on the circle, and the points that satisfy the above equation with < replaced by > are considered the outside the circle.

Get gateway ip address in android

DNS server is obtained via

getprop net.dns1 

UPDATE: as of Android Nougat 7.x, ifconfig is present, and netcfg is gone. So ifconfig can be used to find the IP and netmask.

Appending a list or series to a pandas DataFrame as a row?

Sometimes it's easier to do all the appending outside of pandas, then, just create the DataFrame in one shot.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> simple_list=[['a','b']]
>>> simple_list.append(['e','f'])
>>> df=pd.DataFrame(simple_list,columns=['col1','col2'])
   col1 col2
0    a    b
1    e    f

How to find the operating system version using JavaScript?

If you list all of window.navigator's properties using

_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(navigator);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

You'll see something like this

# platform = Win32
# appCodeName = Mozilla
# appName = Netscape
# appVersion = 5.0 (Windows; en-US)
# language = en-US
# mimeTypes = [object MimeTypeArray]
# oscpu = Windows NT 5.1
# vendor = Firefox
# vendorSub = 1.0.7
# product = Gecko
# productSub = 20050915
# plugins = [object PluginArray]
# securityPolicy =
# userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
# cookieEnabled = true
# javaEnabled = function javaEnabled() { [native code] }
# taintEnabled = function taintEnabled() { [native code] }
# preference = function preference() { [native code] }

Note that oscpu attribute gives you the Windows version. Also, you should know that:

'Windows 3.11' => 'Win16',
'Windows 95' => '(Windows 95)|(Win95)|(Windows_95)',
'Windows 98' => '(Windows 98)|(Win98)',
'Windows 2000' => '(Windows NT 5.0)|(Windows 2000)',
'Windows XP' => '(Windows NT 5.1)|(Windows XP)',
'Windows Server 2003' => '(Windows NT 5.2)',
'Windows Vista' => '(Windows NT 6.0)',
'Windows 7' => '(Windows NT 6.1)',

How do I run a batch file from my Java Application?

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( 
  new String[]{"cmd", "/C", "orgreg.bat"},
  null, 
  new File("D://TEST//home//libs//"));

tested with jdk1.5 and jdk1.6

This was working fine for me, hope it helps others too. to get this i have struggled more days. :(

getCurrentPosition() and watchPosition() are deprecated on insecure origins

Found a likely answer in /jstillwell's posts here: https://github.com/stefanocudini/leaflet-gps/issues/15 basically this feature will not be supported (in Chrome only?) in the future, but only for HTTP sites. HTTPS will still be ok, and there are no plans to create an equivalent replacement for HTTP use.

How to change MySQL column definition?

This should do it:

ALTER TABLE test MODIFY locationExpert VARCHAR(120) 

show more/Less text with just HTML and JavaScript

 <script type="text/javascript">
     function showml(divId,inhtmText) 
     {

What is the standard naming convention for html/css ids and classes?

I think it is platform dependent. When developing in .Net MVC, I use bootstrap style lower case and hyphens for class names, but for ids I use PascalCase.

The reasoning for this is that my views are backed by strongly typed view models. Properties of C# models are pascal case. For the sake of model binding with MVC it makes sense that the names of HTML elements that bind to the model are consistent with the view model properties which are pascal case. For simplicity my ids are use the same naming convention as element names except for radio buttons and check boxes which require unique ids for each element in the named input group.

Spring Boot Multiple Datasource

once you start work with jpa and some driver is in your class path spring boot right away puts it inside as your data source (e.g h2 ) for using the defult data source therefore u will need only to define

spring.datasource.url= jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/
spring.datasource.username=test
spring.datasource.password=test

if we go one step farther and u want to use two I would reccomend to use two data sources such as explained here : Spring Boot Configure and Use Two DataSources

How to configure encoding in Maven?

It seems people mix a content encoding with a built files/resources encoding. Having only maven properties is not enough. Having -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 not effective. To avoid having issues with encoding you should follow the following simple rules

  1. Set maven encoding, as described above:
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
  1. Always set encoding explicitly, when work with files, strings, IO in your code. If you do not follow this rule, your application depend on the environment. The -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 exactly is responsible for run-time environment configuration, but we should not depend on it. If you have thousands of clients, it takes more effort to configure systems and to find issues because of it. You just have an additional dependency on it which you can avoid by setting it explicitly. Most methods in Java that use a default encoding are marked as deprecated because of it.

  2. Make sure the content, you are working with, also is in the same encoding, that you expect. If it is not, the previous steps do not matter! For instance a file will not be processed correctly, if its encoding is not UTF8 but you expect it. To check file encoding on Linux:

$ file --mime F_PRDAUFT.dsv

  1. Force clients/server set encoding explicitly in requests/responses, here are examples:
@Produces("application/json; charset=UTF-8")
@Consumes("application/json; charset=UTF-8")

Hope this will be useful to someone.

How to use git merge --squash?

Assume the name of the branch where you made multiple commits is called bugfix/123, and you want to squash these commits.
First, create a new branch from develop (or whatever the name of your repo is). Assume the name of the new branch is called bugfix/123_up. Checkout this branch in git bash -

  • git fetch
  • git checkout bugfix/123_up
  • git merge bugfix/123 --squash
  • git commit -m "your message"
  • git push origin bugfix/123_up

Now this branch will have only one commit with all your changes in it.

How to use ? : if statements with Razor and inline code blocks

In most cases the solution of CD.. will work perfectly fine. However I had a bit more twisted situation:

 @(String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MaidenName) ? "&nbsp;" : Model.MaidenName)

This would print me "&nbsp;" in my page, respectively generate the source &amp;nbsp;. Now there is a function Html.Raw("&nbsp;") which is supposed to let you write source code, except in this constellation it throws a compiler error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0173: Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'System.Web.IHtmlString' and 'string'

So I ended up writing a statement like the following, which is less nice but works even in my case:

@if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MaidenName)) { @Html.Raw("&nbsp;") } else { @Model.MaidenName } 

Note: interesting thing is, once you are inside the curly brace, you have to restart a Razor block.

How to connect to LocalDb

Use (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB. That is the LocalDB instance intended for applications, independent of Visual Studio version.


Disregard my original answer: "With SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDB, use (localdb)\ProjectsV12. This works in both Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2014 Management Studio." While ProjectsV12 will indeed give you a LocalDB instance, it's the wrong one, intended for use by SQL Server Data Tools.

About catching ANY exception

I've just found out this little trick for testing if exception names in Python 2.7 . Sometimes i have handled specific exceptions in the code, so i needed a test to see if that name is within a list of handled exceptions.

try:
    raise IndexError #as test error
except Exception as e:
    excepName = type(e).__name__ # returns the name of the exception

How to get URL of current page in PHP

if you want just the parts of url after http://domain.com, try this:

<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

if the current url was http://domain.com/some-slug/some-id, echo will return only '/some-slug/some-id'.

if you want the full url, try this:

<?php echo 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

Convert Json Array to normal Java list

Here is a better way of doing it: if you are getting the data from API. Then PARSE the JSON and loading it onto your listview:

protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
                Log.v(TAG + " result);


                if (!result.equals("")) {

                    // Set up variables for API Call
                    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

                    try {
                        JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(result);

                        for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {

                            list.add(jsonArray.get(i).toString());

                        }//end for
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "onPostExecute > Try > JSONException => " + e);
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }


                    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(ListViewData.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, list);
                    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
                    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

                            // ListView Clicked item index
                            int itemPosition = position;

                            // ListView Clicked item value
                            String itemValue = (String) listView.getItemAtPosition(position);

                            // Show Alert
                            Toast.makeText( ListViewData.this, "Position :" + itemPosition + "  ListItem : " + itemValue, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                    });

                    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();


                        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Enum String Name from Value

SOLUTION:

int enumValue = 2; // The value for which you want to get string 
string enumName = Enum.GetName(typeof(EnumDisplayStatus), enumValue);

Also, using GetName is better than Explicit casting of Enum.

[Code for Performance Benchmark]

Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch (); sw.Start (); sw.Stop (); sw.Reset ();
double sum = 0;
int n = 1000;
Console.WriteLine ("\nGetName method way:");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
   sw.Start ();
   string t = Enum.GetName (typeof (Roles), roleValue);
   sw.Stop ();
   sum += sw.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds;
   sw.Reset ();
}
Console.WriteLine ($"Average of {n} runs using Getname method casting way: {sum / n}");
Console.WriteLine ("\nExplicit casting way:");
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
   sw.Start ();
   string t = ((Roles)roleValue).ToString ();
   sw.Stop ();
   sum += sw.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds;
   sw.Reset ();
}
Console.WriteLine ($"Average of {n} runs using Explicit casting way: {sum / n}");

[Sample result]

GetName method way:
Average of 1000 runs using Getname method casting way: 0.000186899999999998
Explicit casting way:
Average of 1000 runs using Explicit casting way: 0.000627900000000002

Custom thread pool in Java 8 parallel stream

The original solution (setting the ForkJoinPool common parallelism property) no longer works. Looking at the links in the original answer, an update which breaks this has been back ported to Java 8. As mentioned in the linked threads, this solution was not guaranteed to work forever. Based on that, the solution is the forkjoinpool.submit with .get solution discussed in the accepted answer. I think the backport fixes the unreliability of this solution also.

ForkJoinPool fjpool = new ForkJoinPool(10);
System.out.println("stream.parallel");
IntStream range = IntStream.range(0, 20);
fjpool.submit(() -> range.parallel()
        .forEach((int theInt) ->
        {
            try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (Exception ignore) {}
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " -- " + theInt);
        })).get();
System.out.println("list.parallelStream");
int [] array = IntStream.range(0, 20).toArray();
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int theInt: array)
{
    list.add(theInt);
}
fjpool.submit(() -> list.parallelStream()
        .forEach((theInt) ->
        {
            try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (Exception ignore) {}
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " -- " + theInt);
        })).get();

How to increase heap size for jBoss server

You can set it as JVM arguments the usual way, e.g. -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m for a minimum heap of 1GB and maximum heap of 2GB. JBoss will use the JAVA_OPTS environment variable to include additional JVM arguments, you could specify it in the /bin/run.conf.bat file:

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"

However, this is more a workaround than a real solution. If multiple users concurrently uploads big files, you'll hit the same problem sooner or later. You would need to keep increasing memory for nothing. You should rather configure your file upload parser to store the uploaded file on temp disk instead of entirely in memory. As long as it's unclear which parser you're using, no suitable answer can be given. However, more than often Apache Commons FileUpload is used under the covers, you should then read the documentation with "threshold size" as keyword to configure the memory limit for uploaded files. When the file size is beyond the threshold, it would then be written to disk.

Switching a DIV background image with jQuery

If you use a CSS sprite for the background images, you could bump the background offset +/- n pixels depending on whether you were expanding or collapsing. Not a toggle, but closer to it than having to switch background image URLs.

How do I use boolean variables in Perl?

My favourites have always been

use constant FALSE => 1==0;
use constant TRUE => not FALSE;

which is completely independent from the internal representation.

Show data on mouseover of circle

You can pass in the data to be used in the mouseover like this- the mouseover event uses a function with your previously entered data as an argument (and the index as a second argument) so you don't need to use enter() a second time.

vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function(d,i) {
    d3.select(this).append("text")
        .text( d.x)
        .attr("x", x(d.x))
        .attr("y", y(d.y)); 
});

What is the Angular equivalent to an AngularJS $watch?

In Angular 2, change detection is automatic... $scope.$watch() and $scope.$digest() R.I.P.

Unfortunately, the Change Detection section of the dev guide is not written yet (there is a placeholder near the bottom of the Architecture Overview page, in section "The Other Stuff").

Here's my understanding of how change detection works:

  • Zone.js "monkey patches the world" -- it intercepts all of the asynchronous APIs in the browser (when Angular runs). This is why we can use setTimeout() inside our components rather than something like $timeout... because setTimeout() is monkey patched.
  • Angular builds and maintains a tree of "change detectors". There is one such change detector (class) per component/directive. (You can get access to this object by injecting ChangeDetectorRef.) These change detectors are created when Angular creates components. They keep track of the state of all of your bindings, for dirty checking. These are, in a sense, similar to the automatic $watches() that Angular 1 would set up for {{}} template bindings.
    Unlike Angular 1, the change detection graph is a directed tree and cannot have cycles (this makes Angular 2 much more performant, as we'll see below).
  • When an event fires (inside the Angular zone), the code we wrote (the event handler callback) runs. It can update whatever data it wants to -- the shared application model/state and/or the component's view state.
  • After that, because of the hooks Zone.js added, it then runs Angular's change detection algorithm. By default (i.e., if you are not using the onPush change detection strategy on any of your components), every component in the tree is examined once (TTL=1)... from the top, in depth-first order. (Well, if you're in dev mode, change detection runs twice (TTL=2). See ApplicationRef.tick() for more about this.) It performs dirty checking on all of your bindings, using those change detector objects.
    • Lifecycle hooks are called as part of change detection.
      If the component data you want to watch is a primitive input property (String, boolean, number), you can implement ngOnChanges() to be notified of changes.
      If the input property is a reference type (object, array, etc.), but the reference didn't change (e.g., you added an item to an existing array), you'll need to implement ngDoCheck() (see this SO answer for more on this).
      You should only change the component's properties and/or properties of descendant components (because of the single tree walk implementation -- i.e., unidirectional data flow). Here's a plunker that violates that. Stateful pipes can also trip you up here.
  • For any binding changes that are found, the Components are updated, and then the DOM is updated. Change detection is now finished.
  • The browser notices the DOM changes and updates the screen.

C++ display stack trace on exception

The following code stops the execution right after an exception is thrown. You need to set a windows_exception_handler along with a termination handler. I tested this in MinGW 32bits.

void beforeCrash(void);

static const bool SET_TERMINATE = std::set_terminate(beforeCrash);

void beforeCrash() {
    __asm("int3");
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(windows_exception_handler);
...
}

Token Authentication vs. Cookies

Http is stateless. In order to authorize you, you have to "sign" every single request you're sending to server.

Token authentication

  • A request to the server is signed by a "token" - usually it means setting specific http headers, however, they can be sent in any part of the http request (POST body, etc.)

  • Pros:

    • You can authorize only the requests you wish to authorize. (Cookies - even the authorization cookie are sent for every single request.)
    • Immune to XSRF (Short example of XSRF - I'll send you a link in email that will look like <img src="http://bank.com?withdraw=1000&to=myself" />, and if you're logged in via cookie authentication to bank.com, and bank.com doesn't have any means of XSRF protection, I'll withdraw money from your account simply by the fact that your browser will trigger an authorized GET request to that url.) Note there are anti forgery measure you can do with cookie-based authentication - but you have to implement those.
    • Cookies are bound to a single domain. A cookie created on the domain foo.com can't be read by the domain bar.com, while you can send tokens to any domain you like. This is especially useful for single page applications that are consuming multiple services that are requiring authorization - so I can have a web app on the domain myapp.com that can make authorized client-side requests to myservice1.com and to myservice2.com.
  • Cons:
    • You have to store the token somewhere; while cookies are stored "out of the box". The locations that comes to mind are localStorage (con: the token is persisted even after you close browser window), sessionStorage (pro: the token is discarded after you close browser window, con: opening a link in a new tab will render that tab anonymous) and cookies (Pro: the token is discarded after you close the browser window. If you use a session cookie you will be authenticated when opening a link in a new tab, and you're immune to XSRF since you're ignoring the cookie for authentication, you're just using it as token storage. Con: cookies are sent out for every single request. If this cookie is not marked as https only, you're open to man in the middle attacks.)
    • It is slightly easier to do XSS attack against token based authentication (i.e. if I'm able to run an injected script on your site, I can steal your token; however, cookie based authentication is not a silver bullet either - while cookies marked as http-only can't be read by the client, the client can still make requests on your behalf that will automatically include the authorization cookie.)
    • Requests to download a file, which is supposed to work only for authorized users, requires you to use File API. The same request works out of the box for cookie-based authentication.

Cookie authentication

  • A request to the server is always signed in by authorization cookie.
  • Pros:
    • Cookies can be marked as "http-only" which makes them impossible to be read on the client side. This is better for XSS-attack protection.
    • Comes out of the box - you don't have to implement any code on the client side.
  • Cons:
    • Bound to a single domain. (So if you have a single page application that makes requests to multiple services, you can end up doing crazy stuff like a reverse proxy.)
    • Vulnerable to XSRF. You have to implement extra measures to make your site protected against cross site request forgery.
    • Are sent out for every single request, (even for requests that don't require authentication).

Overall, I'd say tokens give you better flexibility, (since you're not bound to single domain). The downside is you have to do quite some coding by yourself.

How can I list all commits that changed a specific file?

I have been looking at this closely and all these answers don‘t seem to really show me all the commits across all the branches.

Here is what I have come up with by messing around with the gitk edit view options. This shows me all the commits for a file regardless of branch, local, reflog, and remote.

gitk --all --first-parent --remotes --reflog --author-date-order -- filename

It also works with git log:

git log --all --first-parent --remotes --reflog --author-date-order -- filename

How to git ignore subfolders / subdirectories?

You can use .gitignore in the top level to ignore all directories in the project with the same name. For example:

Debug/
Release/

This should update immediately so it's visible when you do git status. Ensure that these directories are not already added to git, as that will override the ignores.

  Pass2 as (select 1 as C from Pass1 as A, Pass1 as B),--16 rows
  Pass3 as (select 1 as C from Pass2 as A, Pass2 as B),--256 rows
  Pass4 as (select 1 as C from Pass3 as A, Pass3 as B),--65536 rows
  Pass5 as (select 1 as C from Pass4 as A, Pass4 as B),--4,294,967,296 rows
  Tally as (select row_number() over(order by C) as Number from Pass5)
 select Number from Tally where Number <= 1000000

The "WHERE N<= 1000000" clause limits the output to 1 to 1 million, and can easily be adjusted to your desired range.

Since this is a WITH clause, it can be worked into an INSERT... SELECT... like so:

--  Sample use: create one million rows
CREATE TABLE dbo.Example (ExampleId  int  not null)  

DECLARE @RowsToCreate int
SET @RowsToCreate = 1000000

--  "Table of numbers" data generator, as per Itzik Ben-Gan (from multiple sources)
;WITH
  Pass0 as (select 1 as C union all select 1), --2 rows
  Pass1 as (select 1 as C from Pass0 as A, Pass0 as B),--4 rows
  Pass2 as (select 1 as C from Pass1 as A, Pass1 as B),--16 rows
  Pass3 as (select 1 as C from Pass2 as A, Pass2 as B),--256 rows
  Pass4 as (select 1 as C from Pass3 as A, Pass3 as B),--65536 rows
  Pass5 as (select 1 as C from Pass4 as A, Pass4 as B),--4,294,967,296 rows
  Tally as (select row_number() over(order by C) as Number from Pass5)
INSERT Example (ExampleId)
 select Number
  from Tally
  where Number <= @RowsToCreate

Indexing the table after it's built will be the fastest way to index it.

Oh, and I'd refer to it as a "Tally" table. I think this is a common term, and you can find loads of tricks and examples by Googling it.

Response.Redirect with POST instead of Get?

Doing this requires understanding how HTTP redirects work. When you use Response.Redirect(), you send a response (to the browser that made the request) with HTTP Status Code 302, which tells the browser where to go next. By definition, the browser will make that via a GET request, even if the original request was a POST.

Another option is to use HTTP Status Code 307, which specifies that the browser should make the redirect request in the same way as the original request, but to prompt the user with a security warning. To do that, you would write something like this:

public void PageLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Process the post on your side   

    Response.Status = "307 Temporary Redirect";
    Response.AddHeader("Location", "http://example.com/page/to/post.to");
}

Unfortunately, this won't always work. Different browsers implement this differently, since it is not a common status code.

Alas, unlike the Opera and FireFox developers, the IE developers have never read the spec, and even the latest, most secure IE7 will redirect the POST request from domain A to domain B without any warnings or confirmation dialogs! Safari also acts in an interesting manner, while it does not raise a confirmation dialog and performs the redirect, it throws away the POST data, effectively changing 307 redirect into the more common 302.

So, as far as I know, the only way to implement something like this would be to use Javascript. There are two options I can think of off the top of my head:

  1. Create the form and have its action attribute point to the third-party server. Then, add a click event to the submit button that first executes an AJAX request to your server with the data, and then allows the form to be submitted to the third-party server.
  2. Create the form to post to your server. When the form is submitted, show the user a page that has a form in it with all of the data you want to pass on, all in hidden inputs. Just show a message like "Redirecting...". Then, add a javascript event to the page that submits the form to the third-party server.

Of the two, I would choose the second, for two reasons. First, it is more reliable than the first because Javascript is not required for it to work; for those who don't have it enabled, you can always make the submit button for the hidden form visible, and instruct them to press it if it takes more than 5 seconds. Second, you can decide what data gets transmitted to the third-party server; if you use just process the form as it goes by, you will be passing along all of the post data, which is not always what you want. Same for the 307 solution, assuming it worked for all of your users.

Hope this helps!

Publish to IIS, setting Environment Variable

Other than the options mentioned above, there are a couple of other Solutions which works well with automated deployments or require fewer configuration changes.

1. Modifying the project file (.CsProj) file

MSBuild supports the EnvironmentName Property which can help to set the right environment variable as per the Environment you wish to Deploy. The environment name would be added in the web.config during the Publish phase.

Simply open the project file (*.csProj) and add the following XML.

<!-- Custom Property Group added to add the Environment name during publish
  The EnvironmentName property is used during the publish for the Environment variable in web.config
  -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' Or '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
    <EnvironmentName>Development</EnvironmentName>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' != '' AND '$(Configuration)' != 'Debug' ">
    <EnvironmentName>Production</EnvironmentName>
  </PropertyGroup>

Above code would add the environment name as Development for Debug configuration or if no configuration is specified. For any other Configuration the Environment name would be Production in the generated web.config file. More details here

2. Adding the EnvironmentName Property in the publish profiles.

We can add the <EnvironmentName> property in the publish profile as well. Open the publish profile file which is located at the Properties/PublishProfiles/{profilename.pubxml} This will set the Environment name in web.config when the project is published. More Details here

<PropertyGroup>
  <EnvironmentName>Development</EnvironmentName>
</PropertyGroup>

3. Command line options using dotnet publish

Additionaly, we can pass the property EnvironmentName as a command line option to the dotnet publish command. Following command would include the environment variable as Development in the web.config file.

dotnet publish -c Debug -r win-x64 /p:EnvironmentName=Development

  6. jar file will be created at your_project_folder\dist folder.

Gradle - Move a folder from ABC to XYZ

Your task declaration is incorrectly combining the Copy task type and project.copy method, resulting in a task that has nothing to copy and thus never runs. Besides, Copy isn't the right choice for renaming a directory. There is no Gradle API for renaming, but a bit of Groovy code (leveraging Java's File API) will do. Assuming Project1 is the project directory:

task renABCToXYZ {     doLast {         file("ABC").renameTo(file("XYZ"))     } } 

Looking at the bigger picture, it's probably better to add the renaming logic (i.e. the doLast task action) to the task that produces ABC.

Java - How to access an ArrayList of another class?

You can do the following:

  public class Numbers {
    private int number1 = 50;
    private int number2 = 100;
    private List<Integer> list;

    public Numbers() {
      list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
      list.add(number1);
      list.add(number2);
    }

    int getNumber(int pos)
    {
      return list.get(pos);
    }
  }

  public class Test {
    private Numbers numbers;

    public Test(){
      numbers = new Numbers();
      int number1 = numbers.getNumber(0);
      int number2 = numbers.getNumber(1);
    }
  }

Populate a Drop down box from a mySQL table in PHP

Since mysql_connect has been deprecated, connect and query instead with mysqli:

$mysqli = new mysqli("hostname","username","password","database_name");
$sqlSelect="SELECT your_fieldname FROM your_table";
$result = $mysqli -> query ($sqlSelect);

And then, if you have more than one option list with the same values on the same page, put the values in an array:

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    $rows[] = $row;
}

And then you can loop the array multiple times on the same page:

foreach ($rows as $row) {
    print "<option value='" . $row['your_fieldname'] . "'>" . $row['your_fieldname'] . "</option>";
}

How can I show/hide component with JSF?

One obvious solution would be to use javascript (which is not JSF). To implement this by JSF you should use AJAX. In this example, I use a radio button group to show and hide two set of components. In the back bean, I define a boolean switch.

private boolean switchComponents;

public boolean isSwitchComponents() {
    return switchComponents;
}

public void setSwitchComponents(boolean switchComponents) {
    this.switchComponents = switchComponents;
}

When the switch is true, one set of components will be shown and when it is false the other set will be shown.

 <h:selectOneRadio value="#{backbean.switchValue}">
   <f:selectItem itemLabel="showComponentSetOne" itemValue='true'/>
   <f:selectItem itemLabel="showComponentSetTwo" itemValue='false'/>
   <f:ajax event="change" execute="@this" render="componentsRoot"/>
 </h:selectOneRadio>


<H:panelGroup id="componentsRoot">
     <h:panelGroup rendered="#{backbean.switchValue}">
       <!--switchValue to be shown on switch value == true-->
     </h:panelGroup>

   <h:panelGroup rendered="#{!backbean.switchValue}">
      <!--switchValue to be shown on switch value == false-->
   </h:panelGroup>
</H:panelGroup>

Note: on the ajax event we render components root. because components which are not rendered in the first place can't be re-rendered on the ajax event.

Also, note that if the "componentsRoot" and radio buttons are under different component hierarchy. you should reference it from the root (form root).

ng: command not found while creating new project using angular-cli

Maximum time, this is a path issue conflict between npm and angular cli.

The solution that worked for me ->

  1. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming Paste this in File Explorer and delete npm folder.
  2. npm install -g @angular/cli@latest run this command to reinstall latest angular cli.
  3. npm link @angular/cli now this command can solve your path issue

Literally that three steps will fix your issue, otherwise you need to update environment variable by search and open Edit the system environment variables

MySQL - SELECT WHERE field IN (subquery) - Extremely slow why?

The subquery is being run for each row because it is a correlated query. One can make a correlated query into a non-correlated query by selecting everything from the subquery, like so:

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT relevant_field
    FROM some_table
    GROUP BY relevant_field
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
) AS subquery

The final query would look like this:

SELECT *
FROM some_table
WHERE relevant_field IN
(
    SELECT * FROM
    (
        SELECT relevant_field
        FROM some_table
        GROUP BY relevant_field
        HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
    ) AS subquery
)

Unable to open project... cannot be opened because the project file cannot be parsed

I faced the same problem recently when trying to merge my branch with a remote branch. However, none of the above solutions seemed appropriate to my problem.

There were no merge conflicts between the project.pbxproj file in my branch or the remote branch. However, my projectName.xcodeproj file would refuse to open for the same reason as shown in the asked question.

My solution was to look through the project.pbxproj using a text editor and find if there were any irregularities in the file syntax (for e.g. an extra curly bracket). I sped this process up by focusing on the lines which were inserted or deleted in old file as compared to the merged file. On closer examination, I found the cause of my problem was the repetition of the following line :

xxxxxxxxxxxxx /* [CP] Check Pods Manifest.lock */ = {

in my merged file. This led to an unclosed curly bracket and consequent invalid pbxproj syntax. Deleting the above line fixed my problem.

How do I subtract minutes from a date in javascript?

var date=new Date();

//here I am using "-30" to subtract 30 minutes from the current time.
var minute=date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes()-30); 

console.log(minute) //it will print the time and date according to the above condition in Unix-timestamp format.

you can convert Unix timestamp into conventional time by using new Date().for example

var extract=new Date(minute)
console.log(minute)//this will print the time in the readable format.

What is Shelving in TFS?

Shelving is a way of saving all of the changes on your box without checking in. The changes are persisted on the server. At any later time you or any of your team-mates can "unshelve" them back onto any one of your machines.

It's also great for review purposes. On my team for a check in we shelve up our changes and send out an email with the change description and name of the changeset. People on the team can then view the changeset and give feedback.

FYI: The best way to review a shelveset is with the following command

tfpt review /shelveset:shelvesetName;userName

tfpt is a part of the Team Foundation Power Tools

How to get first N elements of a list in C#?

var firstFiveItems = myList.Take(5);

Or to slice:

var firstFiveArrivals = myList.OrderBy(i => i.ArrivalTime).Take(5);

How to use System.Net.HttpClient to post a complex type?

The generic HttpRequestMessage<T> has been removed. This :

new HttpRequestMessage<Widget>(widget)

will no longer work.

Instead, from this post, the ASP.NET team has included some new calls to support this functionality:

HttpClient.PostAsJsonAsync<T>(T value) sends “application/json”
HttpClient.PostAsXmlAsync<T>(T value) sends “application/xml”

So, the new code (from dunston) becomes:

Widget widget = new Widget()
widget.Name = "test"
widget.Price = 1;

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:44268");
client.PostAsJsonAsync("api/test", widget)
    .ContinueWith((postTask) => postTask.Result.EnsureSuccessStatusCode() );

How to print float to n decimal places including trailing 0s?

For Python versions in 2.6+ and 3.x

You can use the str.format method. Examples:

>>> print('{0:.16f}'.format(1.6))
1.6000000000000001

>>> print('{0:.15f}'.format(1.6))
1.600000000000000

Note the 1 at the end of the first example is rounding error; it happens because exact representation of the decimal number 1.6 requires an infinite number binary digits. Since floating-point numbers have a finite number of bits, the number is rounded to a nearby, but not equal, value.

For Python versions prior to 2.6 (at least back to 2.0)

You can use the "modulo-formatting" syntax (this works for Python 2.6 and 2.7 too):

>>> print '%.16f' % 1.6
1.6000000000000001

>>> print '%.15f' % 1.6
1.600000000000000

Clear icon inside input text

If you want it like Google, then you should know that the "X" isn't actually inside the <input> -- they're next to each other with the outer container styled to appear like the text box.

HTML:

<form>
    <span class="x-input">
        <input type="text" class="x-input-text" />
        <input type="reset" />
    </span>
</form>

CSS:

.x-input {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

.x-input input.x-input-text {
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;
}

Sublime text 3. How to edit multiple lines?

Use CTRL+D at each line and it will find the matching words and select them then you can use multiple cursors.

You can also use find to find all the occurrences and then it would be multiple cursors too.

JavaScript naming conventions

That's an individual question that could depend on how you're working. Some people like to put the variable type at the begining of the variable, like "str_message". And some people like to use underscore between their words ("my_message") while others like to separate them with upper-case letters ("myMessage").

I'm often working with huge JavaScript libraries with other people, so functions and variables (except the private variables inside functions) got to start with the service's name to avoid conflicts, as "guestbook_message".

In short: english, lower-cased, well-organized variable and function names is preferable according to me. The names should describe their existence rather than being short.

How to add background image for input type="button"?

Just to add to the answers, I think the specific reason in this case, in addition to the misplaced no-repeat, is the space between url and (:

background-image: url('/image/btn.png'); /* Should work */

Spring cannot find bean xml configuration file when it does exist

find vs find_by vs where

Edit: This answer is very old and other, better answers have come up since this post was made. I'd advise looking at the one posted below by @Hossam Khamis for more details.

Use whichever one you feel suits your needs best.

The find method is usually used to retrieve a row by ID:

Model.find(1)

It's worth noting that find will throw an exception if the item is not found by the attribute that you supply. Use where (as described below, which will return an empty array if the attribute is not found) to avoid an exception being thrown.

Other uses of find are usually replaced with things like this:

Model.all
Model.first

find_by is used as a helper when you're searching for information within a column, and it maps to such with naming conventions. For instance, if you have a column named name in your database, you'd use the following syntax:

Model.find_by(name: "Bob")

.where is more of a catch all that lets you use a bit more complex logic for when the conventional helpers won't do, and it returns an array of items that match your conditions (or an empty array otherwise).

The pyplot functions you are calling, axhline() and axvline() draw lines that span a portion of the axis range, regardless of coordinates. The parameters xmin or ymin use value 0.0 as the minimum of the axis and 1.0 as the maximum of the axis.

Instead, use plt.plot((x1, x2), (y1, y2), 'k-') to draw a line from the point (x1, y1) to the point (x2, y2) in color k. See pyplot.plot.

OpenJDK availability for Windows OS

Red Hat announces they will distribute an OpenJDK for Windows platform: http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/06/27/openjdk-now-available-for-windows/

EDITED (thx to CaseyB comment): there is no PRODUCTION support on Windows. From the documentation:

All Red Hat distributions of OpenJDK 8 on Windows are supported for development of applications that work in conjunction with JBoss Middleware, so that you have the convenience and confidence to develop and test in Windows or Linux-based environments and deploy your solution to a 100% compatible, fully supported, OpenJDK 8 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

jQuery’s .bind() vs. .on()

From the jQuery documentation:

As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document. For earlier versions, the .bind() method is used for attaching an event handler directly to elements. Handlers are attached to the currently selected elements in the jQuery object, so those elements must exist at the point the call to .bind() occurs. For more flexible event binding, see the discussion of event delegation in .on() or .delegate().

Adding headers to requests module

From http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/

url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
payload = {'some': 'data'}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}

r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)

You just need to create a dict with your headers (key: value pairs where the key is the name of the header and the value is, well, the value of the pair) and pass that dict to the headers parameter on the .get or .post method.

So more specific to your question:

headers = {'foobar': 'raboof'}
requests.get('http://himom.com', headers=headers)

Posting a File and Associated Data to a RESTful WebService preferably as JSON

Here is my approach API (i use example) - as you can see, you I don't use any file_id (uploaded file identifier to the server) in API:

  1. Create photo object on server:

     POST: /projects/{project_id}/photos   
     body: { name: "some_schema.jpg", comment: "blah"}
     response: photo_id
    
  2. Upload file (note that file is in singular form because it is only one per photo):

     POST: /projects/{project_id}/photos/{photo_id}/file
     body: file to upload
     response: -
    

And then for instance:

  1. Read photos list

     GET: /projects/{project_id}/photos
     response: [ photo, photo, photo, ... ] (array of objects)
    
  2. Read some photo details

     GET: /projects/{project_id}/photos/{photo_id}
     response: { id: 666, name: 'some_schema.jpg', comment:'blah'} (photo object)
    
  3. Read photo file

     GET: /projects/{project_id}/photos/{photo_id}/file
     response: file content
    

So the conclusion is that, first you create an object (photo) by POST, and then you send second request with the file (again POST). To not have problems with CACHE in this approach we assume that we can only delete old photos and add new - no update binary photo files (because new binary file is in fact... NEW photo). However if you need to be able to update binary files and cache them, then in point 4 return also fileId and change 5 to GET: /projects/{project_id}/photos/{photo_id}/files/{fileId}.

How to truncate text in Angular2?

Here's an alternative approach using an interface to describe the shape of an options object to be passed via the pipe in the markup.

@Pipe({
  name: 'textContentTruncate'
})
export class TextContentTruncatePipe implements PipeTransform {

  transform(textContent: string, options: TextTruncateOptions): string {
    if (textContent.length >= options.sliceEnd) {
      let truncatedText = textContent.slice(options.sliceStart, options.sliceEnd);
      if (options.prepend) { truncatedText = `${options.prepend}${truncatedText}`; }
      if (options.append) { truncatedText = `${truncatedText}${options.append}`; }
      return truncatedText;
    }
    return textContent;
  }

}

interface TextTruncateOptions {
  sliceStart: number;
  sliceEnd: number;
  prepend?: string;
  append?: string;
}

Then in your markup:

{{someText | textContentTruncate:{sliceStart: 0, sliceEnd: 50, append: '...'} }}

The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode

  3. Click the 'Options' button
  4. Select 'Enable this content' and click the OK button

How to resize an image with OpenCV2.0 and Python2.6

Here's a function to upscale or downscale an image by desired width or height while maintaining aspect ratio

# Resizes a image and maintains aspect ratio
def maintain_aspect_ratio_resize(image, width=None, height=None, inter=cv2.INTER_AREA):
    # Grab the image size and initialize dimensions
    dim = None
    (h, w) = image.shape[:2]

    # Return original image if no need to resize
    if width is None and height is None:
        return image

    # We are resizing height if width is none
    if width is None:
        # Calculate the ratio of the height and construct the dimensions
        r = height / float(h)
        dim = (int(w * r), height)
    # We are resizing width if height is none
    else:
        # Calculate the ratio of the width and construct the dimensions
        r = width / float(w)
        dim = (width, int(h * r))

    # Return the resized image
    return cv2.resize(image, dim, interpolation=inter)

Usage

import cv2

image = cv2.imread('1.png')
cv2.imshow('width_100', maintain_aspect_ratio_resize(image, width=100))
cv2.imshow('width_300', maintain_aspect_ratio_resize(image, width=300))
cv2.waitKey()

Using this example image

enter image description here

Simply downscale to width=100 (left) or upscale to width=300 (right)

Choose folders to be ignored during search in VS Code

The short answer is to comma-separate the folders you want to ignore in "files to exclude".

  1. Start workspace wide search: CTRL+SHIFT+f
  2. Expand the global search with the three-dot button
  3. Enter your search term
  4. As an example, in the files to exclude-input field write babel,concat to exclude the folder "babel" and the folder "concat" in the search (make sure the exclude button is enabled).
  5. Press enter to get the results.

What does the fpermissive flag do?

If you want a real-world use case for this, try compiling a very old version of X Windows-- say, either XFree86 or XOrg from aboout 2004, right around the split-- using a "modern" (cough) version of gcc, such as 4.9.3.

You'll notice the build CFLAGS specify both "-ansi" and "-pedantic". In theory, this means, "blow up if anything even slightly violates the language spec". In practice, the 3.x series of gcc didn't catch very much of that kind of stuff, and building it with 4.9.3 will leave a smoking hole in the ground unless you set CFLAGS and BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS to "-fpermissive".

Using that flag, most of those C files will actually build, leaving you free to move on to the version-dependent wreckage the lexer will generate. =]

how to get request path with express req object

In some cases you should use:

req.path

This gives you the path, instead of the complete requested URL. For example, if you are only interested in which page the user requested and not all kinds of parameters the url:

/myurl.htm?allkinds&ofparameters=true

req.path will give you:

/myurl.html

Swipe to Delete and the "More" button (like in Mail app on iOS 7)

How to Implement

It looks like iOS 8 opens up this API. Hints of such functionality are present in Beta 2.

To get something working, implement the following two methods on your UITableView's delegate to get the desired effect (see gist for an example).

- tableView:editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:
- tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath:


Known Issues

The documentation says tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath is:

"Not called for edit actions using UITableViewRowAction - the action's handler will be invoked instead."

However, the swiping doesn't work without it. Even if the method stub is blank, it still needs it, for now. This is most obviously a bug in beta 2.

Angular exception: Can't bind to 'ngForIn' since it isn't a known native property

Since this is at least the third time I've wasted more than 5 min on this problem I figured I'd post the Q & A. I hope it helps someone else down the road... probably me!

I typed in instead of of in the ngFor expression.

Befor 2-beta.17, it should be:

<div *ngFor="#talk of talks">

As of beta.17, use the let syntax instead of #. See the UPDATE further down for more info.


Note that the ngFor syntax "desugars" into the following:

<template ngFor #talk [ngForOf]="talks">
  <div>...</div>
</template>

If we use in instead, it turns into

<template ngFor #talk [ngForIn]="talks">
  <div>...</div>
</template>

Since ngForIn isn't an attribute directive with an input property of the same name (like ngIf), Angular then tries to see if it is a (known native) property of the template element, and it isn't, hence the error.

UPDATE - as of 2-beta.17, use the let syntax instead of #. This updates to the following:

<div *ngFor="let talk of talks">

Note that the ngFor syntax "desugars" into the following:

<template ngFor let-talk [ngForOf]="talks">
  <div>...</div>
</template>

If we use in instead, it turns into

<template ngFor let-talk [ngForIn]="talks">
  <div>...</div>
</template>

Explain ggplot2 warning: "Removed k rows containing missing values"

Just for the shake of completing the answer given by eipi10.

I was facing the same problem, without using scale_y_continuous nor coord_cartesian.

The conflict was coming from the x axis, where I defined limits = c(1, 30). It seems such limits do not provide enough space if you want to "dodge" your bars, so R still throws the error

Removed 8 rows containing missing values (geom_bar)

Adjusting the limits of the x axis to limits = c(0, 31) solved the problem.

In conclusion, even if you are not putting limits to your y axis, check out your x axis' behavior to ensure you have enough space

How to access a property of an object (stdClass Object) member/element of an array?

You have an array. A PHP array is basically a "list of things". Your array has one thing in it. That thing is a standard class. You need to either remove the thing from your array

$object = array_shift($array);
var_dump($object->id);

Or refer to the thing by its index in the array.

var_dump( $array[0]->id );

Or, if you're not sure how many things are in the array, loop over the array

foreach($array as $key=>$value)
{
    var_dump($value->id);
    var_dump($array[$key]->id);
}

How to replace DOM element in place using Javascript?

A.replaceWith(span) - No parent needed

Generic form:

target.replaceWith(element)

Way better/cleaner than the previous method.

For your use case:

A.replaceWith(span)

Advanced usage

  1. You can pass multiple values (or use spread operator ...).
  2. Any string value will be added as a text element.

Examples:

// Initially [child1, target, child3]

target.replaceWith(span, "foo")     // [child1, span, "foo", child3]

const list = ["bar", span]
target.replaceWith(...list, "fizz")  // [child1, "bar", span, "fizz", child3]

Safely handling null target

If your target has a chance to be null, you can consider using the newish ?. optional chaining operator. Nothing will happen if target doesn't exist. Read more here.

target?.replaceWith(element)

Overflow-x:hidden doesn't prevent content from overflowing in mobile browsers

I had tried many ways from replies in this topic, mostly works but got some side-effect like if I use overflow-x on body,html it might slow/freeze the page when users scroll down on mobile.

use position: fixed on wrapper/div inside the body is good too, but when I have a menu and use Javascript click animated scroll to some section, It's not working.

So, I decided to use touch-action: pan-y pinch-zoom on wrapper/div inside the body. Problem solved.

What's the best free C++ profiler for Windows?

You can use EmbeddedProfiler, it's free for both Linux and Windwos.

The profiler is intrusive (by functionality) but it doens't require any code modifications. Just add a specific compiler flag (-finstrument-functios for gcc/MinGW or /GH for MSVC) and link the profiler's library. It can provide you a full call tree or just a funciton list. It has it's own analyzer GUI.

Remove pandas rows with duplicate indices

I would suggest using the duplicated method on the Pandas Index itself:

df3 = df3[~df3.index.duplicated(keep='first')]

While all the other methods work, the currently accepted answer is by far the least performant for the provided example. Furthermore, while the groupby method is only slightly less performant, I find the duplicated method to be more readable.

Using the sample data provided:

>>> %timeit df3.reset_index().drop_duplicates(subset='index', keep='first').set_index('index')
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.54 ms per loop

>>> %timeit df3.groupby(df3.index).first()
1000 loops, best of 3: 580 µs per loop

>>> %timeit df3[~df3.index.duplicated(keep='first')]
1000 loops, best of 3: 307 µs per loop

Note that you can keep the last element by changing the keep argument to 'last'.

It should also be noted that this method works with MultiIndex as well (using df1 as specified in Paul's example):

>>> %timeit df1.groupby(level=df1.index.names).last()
1000 loops, best of 3: 771 µs per loop

>>> %timeit df1[~df1.index.duplicated(keep='last')]
1000 loops, best of 3: 365 µs per loop

Guid.NewGuid() vs. new Guid()

Guid.NewGuid() creates a new UUID using an algorithm that is designed to make collisions very, very unlikely.

new Guid() creates a UUID that is all-zeros.

Generally you would prefer the former, because that's the point of a UUID (unless you're receiving it from somewhere else of course).

There are cases where you do indeed want an all-zero UUID, but in this case Guid.Empty or default(Guid) is clearer about your intent, and there's less chance of someone reading it expecting a unique value had been created.

In all, new Guid() isn't that useful due to this lack of clarity, but it's not possible to have a value-type that doesn't have a parameterless constructor that returns an all-zeros-and-nulls value.

Edit: Actually, it is possible to have a parameterless constructor on a value type that doesn't set everything to zero and null, but you can't do it in C#, and the rules about when it will be called and when there will just be an all-zero struct created are confusing, so it's not a good idea anyway.

TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

A possible solution might be to use the JSON dumps() method, so you can convert the dictionary to a string ---

c = [json.dumps(a), json.dumps(b)]


set(c)
json.dumps(a) in c

Output -

How to set Highcharts chart maximum yAxis value

Taking help from above answer link mentioned in the above answer sets the max value with option

yAxis: { max: 100 },

On similar line min value can be set.So if you want to set min-max value then

yAxis: {
   min: 0,     
   max: 100
},

If you are using HighRoller php library for integration if Highchart graphs then you just need to set the option

$series->yAxis->min=0;
$series->yAxis->max=100;

HTML Script tag: type or language (or omit both)?

The type attribute is used to define the MIME type within the HTML document. Depending on what DOCTYPE you use, the type value is required in order to validate the HTML document.

The language attribute lets the browser know what language you are using (Javascript vs. VBScript) but is not necessarily essential and, IIRC, has been deprecated.

Can attributes be added dynamically in C#?

I don't believe so. Even if I'm wrong, the best you can hope for is adding them to an entire Type, never an instance of a Type.

nginx missing sites-available directory

Well, I think nginx by itself doesn't have that in its setup, because the Ubuntu-maintained package does it as a convention to imitate Debian's apache setup. You could create it yourself if you wanted to emulate the same setup.

Create /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled and then edit the http block inside /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add this line

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

Of course, all the files will be inside sites-available, and you'd create a symlink for them inside sites-enabled for those you want enabled.

Best way to select random rows PostgreSQL

A variation of the materialized view "Possible alternative" outlined by Erwin Brandstetter is possible.

Say, for example, that you don't want duplicates in the randomized values that are returned. So you will need to set a boolean value on the primary table containing your (non-randomized) set of values.

Assuming this is the input table:

id_values  id  |   used
           ----+--------
           1   |   FALSE
           2   |   FALSE
           3   |   FALSE
           4   |   FALSE
           5   |   FALSE
           ...

Populate the ID_VALUES table as needed. Then, as described by Erwin, create a materialized view that randomizes the ID_VALUES table once:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW id_values_randomized AS
  SELECT id
  FROM id_values
  ORDER BY random();

Note that the materialized view does not contain the used column, because this will quickly become out-of-date. Nor does the view need to contain other columns that may be in the id_values table.

In order to obtain (and "consume") random values, use an UPDATE-RETURNING on id_values, selecting id_values from id_values_randomized with a join, and applying the desired criteria to obtain only relevant possibilities. For example:

UPDATE id_values
SET used = TRUE
WHERE id_values.id IN 
  (SELECT i.id
    FROM id_values_randomized r INNER JOIN id_values i ON i.id = r.id
    WHERE (NOT i.used)
    LIMIT 5)
RETURNING id;

Change LIMIT as necessary -- if you only need one random value at a time, change LIMIT to 1.

With the proper indexes on id_values, I believe the UPDATE-RETURNING should execute very quickly with little load. It returns randomized values with one database round-trip. The criteria for "eligible" rows can be as complex as required. New rows can be added to the id_values table at any time, and they will become accessible to the application as soon as the materialized view is refreshed (which can likely be run at an off-peak time).

You shoud follow the Angular docs and use $sce - $sce is a service that provides Strict Contextual Escaping services to AngularJS. Here is a docs: http://docs-angularjs-org-dev.appspot.com/api/ng.directive:ngBindHtmlUnsafe

Let's take an example with asynchroniously loading Eventbrite login button

In your controller:

someAppControllers.controller('SomeCtrl', ['$scope', '$sce', 'eventbriteLogin', 
  function($scope, $sce, eventbriteLogin) {

    eventbriteLogin.fetchButton(function(data){
      $scope.buttonLogin = $sce.trustAsHtml(data);
    });
  }]);

In your view just add:

<span ng-bind-html="buttonLogin"></span>

In your services:

someAppServices.factory('eventbriteLogin', function($resource){
   return {
        fetchButton: function(callback){
            Eventbrite.prototype.widget.login({'app_key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'}, function(widget_html){
                callback(widget_html);
            })
      }
    }
});

How do I find the last column with data?

Here's something which might be useful. Selecting the entire column based on a row containing data, in this case i am using 5th row:

Dim lColumn As Long

lColumn = ActiveSheet.Cells(5, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
MsgBox ("The last used column is: " & lColumn)

Unfinished Stubbing Detected in Mockito

You're nesting mocking inside of mocking. You're calling getSomeList(), which does some mocking, before you've finished the mocking for MyMainModel. Mockito doesn't like it when you do this.

Replace

@Test
public myTest(){
    MyMainModel mainModel =  Mockito.mock(MyMainModel.class);
    Mockito.when(mainModel.getList()).thenReturn(getSomeList()); --> Line 355
}

with

@Test
public myTest(){
    MyMainModel mainModel =  Mockito.mock(MyMainModel.class);
    List<SomeModel> someModelList = getSomeList();
    Mockito.when(mainModel.getList()).thenReturn(someModelList);
}

To understand why this causes a problem, you need to know a little about how Mockito works, and also be aware in what order expressions and statements are evaluated in Java.

Mockito can't read your source code, so in order to figure out what you are asking it to do, it relies a lot on static state. When you call a method on a mock object, Mockito records the details of the call in an internal list of invocations. The when method reads the last of these invocations off the list and records this invocation in the OngoingStubbing object it returns.

The line

Mockito.when(mainModel.getList()).thenReturn(someModelList);

causes the following interactions with Mockito:

  • Mock method mainModel.getList() is called,
  • Static method when is called,
  • Method thenReturn is called on the OngoingStubbing object returned by the when method.

The thenReturn method can then instruct the mock it received via the OngoingStubbing method to handle any suitable call to the getList method to return someModelList.

In fact, as Mockito can't see your code, you can also write your mocking as follows:

mainModel.getList();
Mockito.when((List<SomeModel>)null).thenReturn(someModelList);

This style is somewhat less clear to read, especially since in this case the null has to be casted, but it generates the same sequence of interactions with Mockito and will achieve the same result as the line above.

However, the line

Mockito.when(mainModel.getList()).thenReturn(getSomeList());

causes the following interactions with Mockito:

  1. Mock method mainModel.getList() is called,
  2. Static method when is called,
  3. A new mock of SomeModel is created (inside getSomeList()),
  4. Mock method model.getName() is called,

At this point Mockito gets confused. It thought you were mocking mainModel.getList(), but now you're telling it you want to mock the model.getName() method. To Mockito, it looks like you're doing the following:

when(mainModel.getList());
// ...
when(model.getName()).thenReturn(...);

This looks silly to Mockito as it can't be sure what you're doing with mainModel.getList().

Note that we did not get to the thenReturn method call, as the JVM needs to evaluate the parameters to this method before it can call the method. In this case, this means calling the getSomeList() method.

Generally it is a bad design decision to rely on static state, as Mockito does, because it can lead to cases where the Principle of Least Astonishment is violated. However, Mockito's design does make for clear and expressive mocking, even if it leads to astonishment sometimes.

Finally, recent versions of Mockito add an extra line to the error message above. This extra line indicates you may be in the same situation as this question:

3: you are stubbing the behaviour of another mock inside before 'thenReturn' instruction if completed

How to Convert Int to Unsigned Byte and Back

Handling bytes and unsigned integers with BigInteger:

byte[] b = ...                    // your integer in big-endian
BigInteger ui = new BigInteger(b) // let BigInteger do the work
int i = ui.intValue()             // unsigned value assigned to i

Remove by _id in MongoDB console

Solution and Example:

1- C:\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>mongo (do not issue command yet because you are not connected to any database yet, you are only connected to database server mongodb).

2-

show dbs analytics_database 0.000GB local 0.000GB test_database 0.000GB

3-

use test_database switched to db test_database

4-

db.Collection.remove({"_id": ObjectId("5694a3590f6d451c1500002e")}, 1); WriteResult({ "nRemoved" : 1 })

now you see WriteResult({ "nRemoved" : 1 }) is 1 not 0.

Done.

What does a just-in-time (JIT) compiler do?

You have code that is compliled into some IL (intermediate language). When you run your program, the computer doesn't understand this code. It only understands native code. So the JIT compiler compiles your IL into native code on the fly. It does this at the method level.

Ruby on Rails: Where to define global constants?

As of Rails 4.2, you can use the config.x property:

# config/application.rb (or config/custom.rb if you prefer)
config.x.colours.options = %w[white blue black red green]
config.x.colours.default = 'white'

Which will be available as:

Rails.configuration.x.colours.options
# => ["white", "blue", "black", "red", "green"]
Rails.configuration.x.colours.default
# => "white"

Another method of loading custom config:

# config/colours.yml
default: &default
  options:
    - white
    - blue
    - black
    - red
    - green
  default: white
development:
  *default
production:
  *default
# config/application.rb
config.colours = config_for(:colours)
Rails.configuration.colours
# => {"options"=>["white", "blue", "black", "red", "green"], "default"=>"white"}
Rails.configuration.colours['default']
# => "white"

In Rails 5 & 6, you can use the configuration object directly for custom configuration, in addition to config.x. However, it can only be used for non-nested configuration:

# config/application.rb
config.colours = %w[white blue black red green]

It will be available as:

Rails.configuration.colours
# => ["white", "blue", "black", "red", "green"]

Java Replacing multiple different substring in a string at once (or in the most efficient way)

If the string you are operating on is very long, or you are operating on many strings, then it could be worthwhile using a java.util.regex.Matcher (this requires time up-front to compile, so it won't be efficient if your input is very small or your search pattern changes frequently).

Below is a full example, based on a list of tokens taken from a map. (Uses StringUtils from Apache Commons Lang).

Map<String,String> tokens = new HashMap<String,String>();
tokens.put("cat", "Garfield");
tokens.put("beverage", "coffee");

String template = "%cat% really needs some %beverage%.";

// Create pattern of the format "%(cat|beverage)%"
String patternString = "%(" + StringUtils.join(tokens.keySet(), "|") + ")%";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(template);

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
while(matcher.find()) {
    matcher.appendReplacement(sb, tokens.get(matcher.group(1)));
}
matcher.appendTail(sb);

System.out.println(sb.toString());

Once the regular expression is compiled, scanning the input string is generally very quick (although if your regular expression is complex or involves backtracking then you would still need to benchmark in order to confirm this!)

How to make python Requests work via socks proxy

# SOCKS5 proxy for HTTP/HTTPS
proxiesDict = {
    'http' : "socks5://1.2.3.4:1080",
    'https' : "socks5://1.2.3.4:1080"
}

# SOCKS4 proxy for HTTP/HTTPS
proxiesDict = {
    'http' : "socks4://1.2.3.4:1080",
    'https' : "socks4://1.2.3.4:1080"
}

    'http' : "1.2.3.4:1080",
    'https' : "1.2.3.4:1080"

What is the difference between __str__ and __repr__?

One important thing to keep in mind is that container's __str__ uses contained objects' __repr__.

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> print (Decimal('52'), datetime.now())
(Decimal('52'), datetime.datetime(2015, 11, 16, 10, 51, 26, 185000))
>>> str((Decimal('52'), datetime.now()))
"(Decimal('52'), datetime.datetime(2015, 11, 16, 10, 52, 22, 176000))"

Python favors unambiguity over readability, the __str__ call of a tuple calls the contained objects' __repr__, the "formal" representation of an object. Although the formal representation is harder to read than an informal one, it is unambiguous and more robust against bugs.

Python constructors and __init__

There is no notion of method overloading in Python. But you can achieve a similar effect by specifying optional and keyword arguments

JFrame Maximize window

The way to set JFrame to full-screen, is to set MAXIMIZED_BOTH option which stands for MAXIMIZED_VERT | MAXIMIZED_HORIZ, which respectively set the frame to maximize vertically and horizontally

package Example;
import java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;

public class JFrameExample
{
    static JFrame frame;
    static GraphicsConfiguration gc;
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        frame = new JFrame(gc);
        frame.setTitle("Full Screen Example");
        frame.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);

        JButton button = new JButton("exit");
        b.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){@Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0){
            JFrameExample.frame.dispose();
            System.exit(0);
        }});

        frame.add(button);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

less than 10 add 0 to number

You can write a generic function to do this...

var numberFormat = function(number, width) {
    return new Array(+width + 1 - (number + '').length).join('0') + number;
}

jsFiddle.

That way, it's not a problem to deal with any arbitrarily width.

How to add a button programmatically in VBA next to some sheet cell data?

I think this is enough to get you on a nice path:

Sub a()
  Dim btn As Button
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  ActiveSheet.Buttons.Delete
  Dim t As Range
  For i = 2 To 6 Step 2
    Set t = ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(i, 3), Cells(i, 3))
    Set btn = ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(t.Left, t.Top, t.Width, t.Height)
    With btn
      .OnAction = "btnS"
      .Caption = "Btn " & i
      .Name = "Btn" & i
    End With
  Next i
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Sub btnS()
 MsgBox Application.Caller
End Sub

It creates the buttons and binds them to butnS(). In the btnS() sub, you should show your dialog, etc.

How to correctly get image from 'Resources' folder in NetBeans

Thanks, Valter Henrique, with your tip i managed to realise, that i simply entered incorrect path to this image. In one of my tries i use

    String pathToImageSortBy = "resources/testDataIcons/filling.png";
    ImageIcon SortByIcon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(pathToImageSortBy));

But correct way was use name of my project in path to resource

String pathToImageSortBy = "nameOfProject/resources/testDataIcons/filling.png";
ImageIcon SortByIcon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(pathToImageSortBy));

How to redirect Valgrind's output to a file?

valgrind --log-file="filename"

std::thread calling method of class

Not so hard:

#include <thread>

void Test::runMultiThread()
{
    std::thread t1(&Test::calculate, this,  0, 10);
    std::thread t2(&Test::calculate, this, 11, 20);
    t1.join();
    t2.join();
}

If the result of the computation is still needed, use a future instead:

#include <future>

void Test::runMultiThread()
{
     auto f1 = std::async(&Test::calculate, this,  0, 10);
     auto f2 = std::async(&Test::calculate, this, 11, 20);

     auto res1 = f1.get();
     auto res2 = f2.get();
}

Regular expression \p{L} and \p{N}

Why is my Git Submodule HEAD detached from master?

EDIT:

See @Simba Answer for valid solution

submodule.<name>.update is what you want to change, see the docs - default checkout
submodule.<name>.branch specify remote branch to be tracked - default master


OLD ANSWER:

Personally I hate answers here which direct to external links which may stop working over time and check my answer here (Unless question is duplicate) - directing to question which does cover subject between the lines of other subject, but overall equals: "I'm not answering, read the documentation."

So back to the question: Why does it happen?

Situation you described

After pulling changes from server, many times my submodule head gets detached from master branch.

This is a common case when one does not use submodules too often or has just started with submodules. I believe that I am correct in stating, that we all have been there at some point where our submodule's HEAD gets detached.

  • Cause: Your submodule is not tracking correct branch (default master).
    Solution: Make sure your submodule is tracking the correct branch
$ cd <submodule-path>
# if the master branch already exists locally:
# (From git docs - branch)
# -u <upstream>
# --set-upstream-to=<upstream>
#    Set up <branchname>'s tracking information so <upstream>
#    is considered <branchname>'s upstream branch.
#    If no <branchname> is specified, then it defaults to the current branch.
$ git branch -u <origin>/<branch> <branch>
# else:
$ git checkout -b <branch> --track <origin>/<branch>
  • Cause: Your parent repo is not configured to track submodules branch.
    Solution: Make your submodule track its remote branch by adding new submodules with the following two commands.
    • First you tell git to track your remote <branch>.
    • you tell git to perform rebase or merge instead of checkout
    • you tell git to update your submodule from remote.
    $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<submodule-path>]
    $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<submodule-path>.update rebase
    $ git submodule update --remote
  • If you haven't added your existing submodule like this you can easily fix that:
    • First you want to make sure that your submodule has the branch checked out which you want to be tracked.
    $ cd <submodule-path>
    $ git checkout <branch>
    $ cd <parent-repo-path>
    # <submodule-path> is here path releative to parent repo root
    # without starting path separator
    $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<submodule-path>.branch <branch>
    $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<submodule-path>.update <rebase|merge>

In the common cases, you already have fixed by now your DETACHED HEAD since it was related to one of the configuration issues above.

fixing DETACHED HEAD when .update = checkout

$ cd <submodule-path> # and make modification to your submodule
$ git add .
$ git commit -m"Your modification" # Let's say you forgot to push it to remote.
$ cd <parent-repo-path>
$ git status # you will get
Your branch is up-to-date with '<origin>/<branch>'.
Changes not staged for commit:
    modified:   path/to/submodule (new commits)
# As normally you would commit new commit hash to your parent repo
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m"Updated submodule"
$ git push <origin> <branch>.
$ git status
Your branch is up-to-date with '<origin>/<branch>'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean
# If you now update your submodule
$ git submodule update --remote
Submodule path 'path/to/submodule': checked out 'commit-hash'
$ git status # will show again that (submodule has new commits)
$ cd <submodule-path>
$ git status
HEAD detached at <hash>
# as you see you are DETACHED and you are lucky if you found out now
# since at this point you just asked git to update your submodule
# from remote master which is 1 commit behind your local branch
# since you did not push you submodule chage commit to remote. 
# Here you can fix it simply by. (in submodules path)
$ git checkout <branch>
$ git push <origin>/<branch>
# which will fix the states for both submodule and parent since 
# you told already parent repo which is the submodules commit hash 
# to track so you don't see it anymore as untracked.

But if you managed to make some changes locally already for submodule and commited, pushed these to remote then when you executed 'git checkout ', Git notifies you:

$ git checkout <branch>
Warning: you are leaving 1 commit behind, not connected to any of your branches:
If you want to keep it by creating a new branch, this may be a good time to do so with:

The recommended option to create a temporary branch can be good, and then you can just merge these branches etc. However I personally would use just git cherry-pick <hash> in this case.

$ git cherry-pick <hash> # hash which git showed you related to DETACHED HEAD
# if you get 'error: could not apply...' run mergetool and fix conflicts
$ git mergetool
$ git status # since your modifications are staged just remove untracked junk files
$ rm -rf <untracked junk file(s)>
$ git commit # without arguments
# which should open for you commit message from DETACHED HEAD
# just save it or modify the message.
$ git push <origin> <branch>
$ cd <parent-repo-path>
$ git add -A # or just the unstaged submodule
$ git commit -m"Updated <submodule>"
$ git push <origin> <branch>

Although there are some more cases you can get your submodules into DETACHED HEAD state, I hope that you understand now a bit more how to debug your particular case.

AngularJS - How can I do a redirect with a full page load?

For <a> tags:

You need to stick target="_self" on your <a> tag

There are three cases where AngularJS will perform a full page reload:

  • Links that contain target element
    Example: <a href="/ext/link?a=b" target="_self">link</a>
  • Absolute links that go to a different domain
    Example: <a href="http://angularjs.org/">link</a>
  • Links starting with '/' that lead to a different base path when base is defined
    Example: <a href="/not-my-base/link">link</a>

Using javascript:

The $location service allows you to change only the URL; it does not allow you to reload the page. When you need to change the URL and reload the page or navigate to a different page, please use a lower level API: $window.location.href.

See:

JavaScript REST client Library

Resync git repo with new .gitignore file

The solution mentioned in ".gitignore file not ignoring" is a bit extreme, but should work:

# rm all files
git rm -r --cached .
# add all files as per new .gitignore
git add .
# now, commit for new .gitignore to apply
git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"

(make sure to commit first your changes you want to keep, to avoid any incident as jball037 comments below.
The --cached option will keep your files untouched on your disk though.)

You also have other more fine-grained solution in the blog post "Making Git ignore already-tracked files":

git rm --cached `git ls-files -i --exclude-standard`

Bassim suggests in his edit:

Files with space in their paths

In case you get an error message like fatal: path spec '...' did not match any files, there might be files with spaces in their path.

You can remove all other files with option --ignore-unmatch:

git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch `git ls-files -i --exclude-standard`

but unmatched files will remain in your repository and will have to be removed explicitly by enclosing their path with double quotes:

git rm --cached "<path.to.remaining.file>"

Limit file format when using <input type="file">?

There is the accept attribute for the input tag. However, it is not reliable in any way. Browsers most likely treat it as a "suggestion", meaning the user will, depending on the file manager as well, have a pre-selection that only displays the desired types. They can still choose "all files" and upload any file they want.

For example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<form>_x000D_
    <input type="file" name="pic" id="pic" accept="image/gif, image/jpeg" />_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Keep in mind that it is only to be used as a "help" for the user to find the right files. Every user can send any request he/she wants to your server. You always have to validated everything server-side.

So the answer is: no you cannot restrict, but you can set a pre-selection but you cannot rely on it.

Alternatively or additionally you can do something similar by checking the filename (value of the input field) with JavaScript, but this is nonsense because it provides no protection and also does not ease the selection for the user. It only potentially tricks a webmaster into thinking he/she is protected and opens a security hole. It can be a pain in the ass for users that have alternative file extensions (for example jpeg instead of jpg), uppercase, or no file extensions whatsoever (as is common on Linux systems).

How do I get an animated gif to work in WPF?

Small improvement of GifImage.Initialize() method, which reads proper frame timing from GIF metadata.

    private void Initialize()
    {
        _gifDecoder = new GifBitmapDecoder(new Uri("pack://application:,,," + this.GifSource), BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);

        int duration=0;
        _animation = new Int32AnimationUsingKeyFrames();
        _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(0, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(0))));
        foreach (BitmapFrame frame in _gifDecoder.Frames)
        {
            BitmapMetadata btmd = (BitmapMetadata)frame.Metadata;
            duration += (ushort)btmd.GetQuery("/grctlext/Delay");
            _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(_gifDecoder.Frames.IndexOf(frame)+1, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(duration*100000))));
        }            
         _animation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        this.Source = _gifDecoder.Frames[0];            
        _isInitialized = true;
    }

How to return a resolved promise from an AngularJS Service using $q?

Here's the correct code for your service:

myApp.service('userService', [
  '$http', '$q', '$rootScope', '$location', function($http, $q, $rootScope, $location) {

    var user = {
      access: false
    };

    var me = this;

    this.initialized = false;
    this.isAuthenticated = function() {

      var deferred = $q.defer();
      user = {
        first_name: 'First',
        last_name: 'Last',
        email: '[email protected]',
        access: 'institution'
      };
      deferred.resolve(user);
      me.initialized = true;

      return deferred.promise;
    };
  }
]);

Then you controller should align accordingly:

myApp.run([
  '$rootScope', 'userService', function($rootScope, userService) {
    return userService.isAuthenticated().then(function(user) {
      if (user) {
        // You have access to the object you passed in the service, not to the response.
        // You should either put response.data on the user or use a different property.
        return $rootScope.$broadcast('login', user.email);  
      } else {
        return userService.logout();
      }
    });
  }
]);

Few points to note about the service:

  • Expose in a service only what needs to be exposed. User should be kept internally and be accessed by getters only.

  • When in functions, use 'me' which is the service to avoid edge cases of this with javascript.

  • I guessed what initialized was meant to do, feel free to correct me if I guessed wrong.

Add an incremental number in a field in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server

You can use the row_number() function for this.

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
            row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants 
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

If you want to start with the maximum already in the table then do:

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
           coalesce(const.maxs, 0) + row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants cross join
         (select max(sequence) as maxs from PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp) const
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

Finally, you can just make the sequence column an auto-incrementing identity column. This saves the need to increment it each time:

create table PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp ( . . .
    sequence int identity(1, 1) -- and might consider making this a primary key too
    . . .
)

How can I get the height of an element using css only

Unfortunately, it is not possible to "get" the height of an element via CSS because CSS is not a language that returns any sort of data other than rules for the browser to adjust its styling.

Your resolution can be achieved with jQuery, or alternatively, you can fake it with CSS3's transform:translateY(); rule.


The CSS Route

If we assume that your target div in this instance is 200px high - this would mean that you want the div to have a margin of 190px?

This can be achieved by using the following CSS:

.dynamic-height {
    -webkit-transform: translateY(100%); //if your div is 200px, this will move it down by 200px, if it is 100px it will down by 100px etc
    transform: translateY(100%);         //if your div is 200px, this will move it down by 200px, if it is 100px it will down by 100px etc
    margin-top: -10px;
}

In this instance, it is important to remember that translateY(100%) will move the element in question downwards by a total of it's own length.

The problem with this route is that it will not push element below it out of the way, where a margin would.


The jQuery Route

If faking it isn't going to work for you, then your next best bet would be to implement a jQuery script to add the correct CSS for you.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){ //wait for the document to load
    $('.dynamic-height').each(function(){ //loop through each element with the .dynamic-height class
        $(this).css({
            'margin-top' : $(this).outerHeight() - 10 + 'px' //adjust the css rule for margin-top to equal the element height - 10px and add the measurement unit "px" for valid CSS
        });
    });
});

What is the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token exactly?

Please read the example in rfc6749 sec 7.1 first.

The bearer token is a type of access token, which does NOT require PoP(proof-of-possession) mechanism.

PoP means kind of multi-factor authentication to make access token more secure. ref

Proof-of-Possession refers to Cryptographic methods that mitigate the risk of Security Tokens being stolen and used by an attacker. In contrast to 'Bearer Tokens', where mere possession of the Security Token allows the attacker to use it, a PoP Security Token cannot be so easily used - the attacker MUST have both the token itself and access to some key associated with the token (which is why they are sometimes referred to 'Holder-of-Key' (HoK) tokens).

Maybe it's not the case, but I would say,

  • access token = payment methods
  • bearer token = cash
  • access token with PoP mechanism = credit card (signature or password will be verified, sometimes need to show your ID to match the name on the card)

BTW, there's a draft of "OAuth 2.0 Proof-of-Possession (PoP) Security Architecture" now.

How to call a method in another class in Java?

in School,

public void addTeacherName(classroom classroom, String teacherName) {
    classroom.setTeacherName(teacherName);
}

BTW, use Pascal Case for class names. Also, I would suggest a Map<String, classroom> to map a classroom name to a classroom.

Then, if you use my suggestion, this would work

public void addTeacherName(String className, String teacherName) {
    classrooms.get(className).setTeacherName(teacherName);
}

Difference between <span> and <div> with text-align:center;?

Spans are inline, divs are block elements. i.e. spans are only as wide as their respective content. You can align the span inside the surrounding container (if it's a block container), but you can't align the content.

Span is primarily used for formatting purposes. If you want to arrange or position the contents, use div, p or some other block element.

Populating a ComboBox using C#

To make it read-only, the DropDownStyle property to DropDownStyle.DropDownList.

To populate the ComboBox, you will need to have a object like Language or so containing both for instance:

public class Language {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Code { get; set; }
}

Then, you may bind a IList to your ComboBox.DataSource property like so:

IList<Language> languages = new List<Language>();
languages.Add(new Language("English", "en"));
languages.Add(new Language("French", "fr"));

ComboxBox.DataSource = languages;
ComboBox.DisplayMember = "Name";
ComboBox.ValueMember = "Code";

This will do exactly what you expect.

Convert INT to FLOAT in SQL

In oracle db there is a trick for casting int to float (I suppose, it should also work in mysql):

select myintfield + 0.0 as myfloatfield from mytable

While @Heximal's answer works, I don't personally recommend it.

This is because it uses implicit casting. Although you didn't type CAST, either the SUM() or the 0.0 need to be cast to be the same data-types, before the + can happen. In this case the order of precedence is in your favour, and you get a float on both sides, and a float as a result of the +. But SUM(aFloatField) + 0 does not yield an INT, because the 0 is being implicitly cast to a FLOAT.

I find that in most programming cases, it is much preferable to be explicit. Don't leave things to chance, confusion, or interpretation.

If you want to be explicit, I would use the following.

CAST(SUM(sl.parts) AS FLOAT) * cp.price
-- using MySQL CAST FLOAT  requires 8.0

I won't discuss whether NUMERIC or FLOAT *(fixed point, instead of floating point)* is more appropriate, when it comes to rounding errors, etc. I'll just let you google that if you need to, but FLOAT is so massively misused that there is a lot to read about the subject already out there.

You can try the following to see what happens...

CAST(SUM(sl.parts) AS NUMERIC(10,4)) * CAST(cp.price AS NUMERIC(10,4))

I somehow need to do this every time my Macbook restarts. Posting this for personal reference, hopefully it helps someone else as well.

How to convert all elements in an array to integer in JavaScript?

You need to loop through and parse/convert the elements in your array, like this:

var result_string = 'a,b,c,d|1,2,3,4',
    result = result_string.split("|"),
    alpha = result[0],
    count = result[1],
    count_array = count.split(",");
for(var i=0; i<count_array.length;i++) count_array[i] = +count_array[i];
//now count_array contains numbers

You can test it out here. If the +, is throwing, think of it as:

for(var i=0; i<count_array.length;i++) count_array[i] = parseInt(count_array[i], 10);

How to revert a merge commit that's already pushed to remote branch?

You could follow these steps to revert the incorrect commit(s) or to reset your remote branch back to correct HEAD/state.

  1. checkout the remote branch to local repo.
    git checkout development
  2. copy the commit hash (i.e. id of the commit immediately before the wrong commit) from git log git log -n5

    output:

    commit 7cd42475d6f95f5896b6f02e902efab0b70e8038 "Merge branch 'wrong-commit' into 'development'"
    commit f9a734f8f44b0b37ccea769b9a2fd774c0f0c012 "this is a wrong commit"
    commit 3779ab50e72908da92d2cfcd72256d7a09f446ba "this is the correct commit"

  3. reset the branch to the commit hash copied in the previous step
    git reset <commit-hash> (i.e. 3779ab50e72908da92d2cfcd72256d7a09f446ba)

  4. run the git status to show all the changes that were part of the wrong commit.
  5. simply run git reset --hard to revert all those changes.
  6. force-push your local branch to remote and notice that your commit history is clean as it was before it got polluted.
    git push -f origin development

Open JQuery Datepicker by clicking on an image w/ no input field

If you are using an input field and an icon (like this example):

<input name="hasta" id="Hasta"  type="text" readonly  />
<a href="#" id="Hasta_icono" ></a>

You can attach the datepicker to your icon (in my case inside the A tag via CSS) like this:

$("#Hasta").datepicker();
  $("#Hasta_icono").click(function() { 
   $("#Hasta").datepicker( "show" );
  });

animating addClass/removeClass with jQuery

I was looking into this but wanted to have a different transition rate for in and out.

This is what I ended up doing:

//css
.addedClass {
    background: #5eb4fc;
}

// js
function setParentTransition(id, prop, delay, style, callback) {
    $(id).css({'-webkit-transition' : prop + ' ' + delay + ' ' + style});
    $(id).css({'-moz-transition' : prop + ' ' + delay + ' ' + style});
    $(id).css({'-o-transition' : prop + ' ' + delay + ' ' + style});
    $(id).css({'transition' : prop + ' ' + delay + ' ' + style});
    callback();
}
setParentTransition(id, 'background', '0s', 'ease', function() {
    $('#elementID').addClass('addedClass');
});

setTimeout(function() {
    setParentTransition(id, 'background', '2s', 'ease', function() {
        $('#elementID').removeClass('addedClass');
    });
});

This instantly turns the background color to #5eb4fc and then slowly fades back to normal over 2 seconds.

What is Model in ModelAndView from Spring MVC?

The model presents a placeholder to hold the information you want to display on the view. It could be a string, which is in your above example, or it could be an object containing bunch of properties.

Example 1

If you have...

return new ModelAndView("welcomePage","WelcomeMessage","Welcome!");

... then in your jsp, to display the message, you will do:-

Hello Stranger! ${WelcomeMessage} // displays Hello Stranger! Welcome!

Example 2

If you have...

MyBean bean = new MyBean();
bean.setName("Mike!");
bean.setMessage("Meow!");

return new ModelAndView("welcomePage","model",bean);

... then in your jsp, you can do:-

Hello ${model.name}! {model.message} // displays Hello Mike! Meow!

$_POST not working. "Notice: Undefined index: username..."

undefined index means that somewhere in the $_POST array, there isn't an index (key) for the key username.

You should be setting your posted values into variables for a more clean solution, and it's a good habit to get into.

If I was having a similar error, I'd do something like this:

$username = $_POST['username']; // you should really do some more logic to see if it's set first
echo $username;

If username didn't turn up, that'd mean I was screwing up somewhere. You can also,

var_dump($_POST);

To see what you're posting. var_dump is really useful as far as debugging. Check it out: var_dump

Removing NA in dplyr pipe

I don't think desc takes an na.rm argument... I'm actually surprised it doesn't throw an error when you give it one. If you just want to remove NAs, use na.omit (base) or tidyr::drop_na:

outcome.df %>%
  na.omit() %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

library(tidyr)
outcome.df %>%
  drop_na() %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

If you only want to remove NAs from the HeartAttackDeath column, filter with is.na, or use tidyr::drop_na:

outcome.df %>%
  filter(!is.na(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

outcome.df %>%
  drop_na(HeartAttackDeath) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

As pointed out at the dupe, complete.cases can also be used, but it's a bit trickier to put in a chain because it takes a data frame as an argument but returns an index vector. So you could use it like this:

outcome.df %>%
  filter(complete.cases(.)) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

How to see the changes between two commits without commits in-between?

For checking complete changes:

  git diff <commit_Id_1> <commit_Id_2>

For checking only the changed/added/deleted files:

  git diff <commit_Id_1> <commit_Id_2> --name-only

NOTE: For checking diff without commit in between, you don't need to put the commit ids.

How to read a file into vector in C++?

Your loop is wrong:

for (int i=0; i=((Main.size())-1); i++) {

Try this:

for (int i=0; i < Main.size(); i++) {

Also, a more idiomatic way of reading numbers into a vector and writing them to stdout is something along these lines:

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm> // for std::copy

int main()
{
  std::ifstream is("numbers.txt");
  std::istream_iterator<double> start(is), end;
  std::vector<double> numbers(start, end);
  std::cout << "Read " << numbers.size() << " numbers" << std::endl;

  // print the numbers to stdout
  std::cout << "numbers read in:\n";
  std::copy(numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), 
            std::ostream_iterator<double>(std::cout, " "));
  std::cout << std::endl;

}

although you should check the status of the ifstream for read errors.
