PHP mysql insert date format

You must make sure that the date format is YYYY-MM-DD on your jQuery output. I can see jQuery returns MM-DD-YYYY, which is not the valid MySQL date format and this is why it returns an error.

To convert it to the right one you could do this:

$dateFormated = split('/', $date);
$date = $dateFormated[2].'-'.$dateFormated[0].'-'.$dateFormated[1];

Then you will get formatted date that will be valid MySQL format, which is YYYY-MM-DD, i.e. 2012-08-25

I would also recommend using mysql_real_escape_string as you insert data into database to prevent SQL injections as a quick solution or better use PDO or MySQLi.

Your insert query using mysql_real_escape_string should rather look like this:

$sql = mysql_query( "INSERT INTO user_date VALUE( '', '" .mysql_real_escape_string($name). "', '" .mysql_real_escape_string($date). "'" ) or die ( mysql_error() );

How to fix getImageData() error The canvas has been tainted by cross-origin data?

As matt burns says in his answer, you may need to enable CORS on the server where the problem images are hosted.

If the server is Apache, this can be done by adding the following snippet (from here) to either your VirtualHost config or an .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        <FilesMatch "\.(cur|gif|ico|jpe?g|png|svgz?|webp)$">
            SetEnvIf Origin ":" IS_CORS
            Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" env=IS_CORS
        </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

...if adding it to a VirtualHost, you'll probably need to reload Apache's config too (eg. sudo service apache2 reload if Apache's running on a Linux server)

What is difference between png8 and png24

From the Web Designer’s Guide to PNG Image Format

PNG-8 and PNG-24

There are two PNG formats: PNG-8 and PNG-24. The numbers are shorthand for saying "8-bit PNG" or "24-bit PNG." Not to get too much into technicalities — because as a web designer, you probably don’t care — 8-bit PNGs mean that the image is 8 bits per pixel, while 24-bit PNGs mean 24 bits per pixel.

To sum up the difference in plain English: Let’s just say PNG-24 can handle a lot more color and is good for complex images with lots of color such as photographs (just like JPEG), while PNG-8 is more optimized for things with simple colors, such as logos and user interface elements like icons and buttons.

Another difference is that PNG-24 natively supports alpha transparency, which is good for transparent backgrounds. This difference is not 100% true because Adobe products’ Save for Web command allows PNG-8 with alpha transparency.

sorting dictionary python 3

With Python 3.7 I could do this:

>>> myDic={10: 'b', 3:'a', 5:'c'}
>>> sortDic = sorted(myDic.items())
>>> print(dict(sortDic))
{3:'a', 5:'c', 10: 'b'}

If you want a list of tuples:

>>> myDic={10: 'b', 3:'a', 5:'c'}
>>> sortDic = sorted(myDic.items())
>>> print(sortDic)
[(3, 'a'), (5, 'c'), (10, 'b')]

How can I serve static html from spring boot?

I am using :: Spring Boot :: (v2.0.4.RELEASE) with Spring Framework 5

Spring Boot 2.0 requires Java 8 as a minimum version. Many existing APIs have been updated to take advantage of Java 8 features such as: default methods on interfaces, functional callbacks, and new APIs such as javax.time.

Static Content

By default, Spring Boot serves static content from a directory called /static (or /public or /resources or /META-INF/resources) in the classpath or from the root of the ServletContext. It uses the ResourceHttpRequestHandler from Spring MVC so that you can modify that behavior by adding your own WebMvcConfigurer and overriding the addResourceHandlers method.

By default, resources are mapped on /** and located on /static directory. But you can customize the static loactions programmatically inside our web context configuration class.

@Configuration @EnableWebMvc
public class Static_ResourceHandler implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        // When overriding default behavior, you need to add default(/) as well as added static paths(/webapp).

        // src/main/resources/static/...
        registry
            //.addResourceHandler("/**") // « /css/myStatic.css
            .addResourceHandler("/static/**") // « /static/css/myStatic.css
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/") // Default Static Loaction
            .setCachePeriod( 3600 )
            .resourceChain(true) // 4.1
            .addResolver(new GzipResourceResolver()) // 4.1
            .addResolver(new PathResourceResolver()); //4.1

        // src/main/resources/templates/static/...
        registry
            .addResourceHandler("/templates/**") // « /templates/style.css
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/templates/static/");

        // Do not use the src/main/webapp/... directory if your application is packaged as a jar.
        registry
            .addResourceHandler("/webapp/**") // « /webapp/css/style.css
            .addResourceLocations("/");

        // File located on disk
        registry
            .addResourceHandler("/system/files/**")
            .addResourceLocations("file:///D:/");
    }
}
http://localhost:8080/handlerPath/resource-path+name
                    /static         /css/myStatic.css
                    /webapp         /css/style.css
                    /templates      /style.css

In Spring every request will go through the DispatcherServlet. To avoid Static file request through DispatcherServlet(Front contoller) we configure MVC Static content.

As @STEEL said static resources should not go through Controller. Thymleaf is a ViewResolver which takes the view name form controller and adds prefix and suffix to View Layer.

Custom bullet symbol for <li> elements in <ul> that is a regular character, and not an image

Here is the best solution I've found so far. It works great and it's cross-browser (IE 8+).

ul {
    list-style: none;
    margin-left: 0;
    padding-left: 1.2em;
    text-indent: -1.2em;
}

li:before {
    content: "?";
    display: block;
    float: left;
    width: 1.2em;
    color: #ff0000;
}

The important thing is to have the character in a floating block with a fixed width so that the text remains aligned if it's too long to fit on a single line. 1.2em is the width you want for your character, change it for your needs.

Read XML Attribute using XmlDocument

XmlDocument.Attributes perhaps? (Which has a method GetNamedItem that will presumably do what you want, although I've always just iterated the attribute collection)

Convert hex color value ( #ffffff ) to integer value

Integer.parseInt(myString.replaceFirst("#", ""), 16) 

Java Scanner class reading strings

It's because the in.nextInt() doesn't change line. So you first "enter" (after you press 3 ) cause the endOfLine read by your in.nextLine() in your loop.

Here a small change that you can do:

int nnames;
    String names[];

    System.out.print("How many names are you going to save: ");
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    nnames = Integer.parseInt(in.nextLine());
    names = new String[nnames];

    for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
            System.out.print("Type a name: ");
            names[i] = in.nextLine();
    }

Python naming conventions for modules

I would call it nib.py. And I would also name the class Nib.

In a larger python project I'm working on, we have lots of modules defining basically one important class. Classes are named beginning with a capital letter. The modules are named like the class in lowercase. This leads to imports like the following:

from nib import Nib
from foo import Foo
from spam.eggs import Eggs, FriedEggs

It's a bit like emulating the Java way. One class per file. But with the added flexibility, that you can allways add another class to a single file if it makes sense.

Use the auto keyword in C++ STL

This is new item in the language which I think we are going to be struggling with for years to come. The 'auto' of the start presents not only readability problem , from now on when you encounter it you will have to spend considerable time trying to figure out wtf it is(just like the time that intern named all variables xyz :)), but you also will spend considerable time cleaning after easily excitable programmers , like the once who replied before me. Example from above , I can bet $1000 , will be written "for (auto it : s)", not "for (auto& it : s)", as a result invoking move semantics where you list expecting it, modifying your collection underneath .

Another example of the problem is your question itself. You clearly don't know much about stl iterators and you trying to overcome that gap through usage of the magic of 'auto', as a result you create the code that might be problematic later on

std::string to char*

Here is one more robust version from Protocol Buffer

char* string_as_array(string* str)
{
    return str->empty() ? NULL : &*str->begin();
}

// test codes
std::string mystr("you are here");
char* pstr = string_as_array(&mystr);
cout << pstr << endl; // you are here

JavaScript + Unicode regexes

This will do it:

/[A-Za-z\u00C0-\u00FF ]+/.exec('hipopótamo maçã pólen ñ poção água língüa')

It explicitly selects a range of unicode characters. It will work for latin characters, but other strange characters may be out of this range.

SelectedValue vs SelectedItem.Value of DropDownList

They are both different. SelectedValue property gives you the actual value of the item in selection whereas SelectedItem.Text gives you the display text. For example: you drop down may have an itme like

<asp:ListItem Text="German" Value="de"></asp:ListItem>

So, in this case SelectedValue would be de and SelectedItem.Text would give 'German'

EDIT:

In that case, they aare both same ... Cause SelectedValue will give you the value stored for current selected item in your dropdown and SelectedItem.Value will be Value of the currently selected item.

So they both would give you the same result.

Keep values selected after form submission

<form method="get" action="">
 <select name="name" value="<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>">
   <option value="a">a</option>
   <option value="b">b</option>
 </select>
 <select name="location" value="<?php echo $_GET['location'];?>">
   <option value="x">x</option>
   <option value="y">y</option>
 </select>
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit" />
</form>

Create a branch in Git from another branch

To create a branch from another branch in your local directory you can use following command.

git checkout -b <sub-branch> branch

For Example:

  • name of the new branch to be created 'XYZ'
  • name of the branch ABC under which XYZ has to be created
git checkout -b XYZ ABC

How to escape braces (curly brackets) in a format string in .NET

Yes to output { in string.Format you have to escape it like this {{

So this

String val = "1,2,3";
String.Format(" foo {{{0}}}", val);

will output "foo {1,2,3}".

BUT you have to know about a design bug in C# which is that by going on the above logic you would assume this below code will print {24.00}

int i = 24;
string str = String.Format("{{{0:N}}}", i); //gives '{N}' instead of {24.00}

But this prints {N}. This is because the way C# parses escape sequences and format characters. To get the desired value in the above case you have to use this instead.

String.Format("{0}{1:N}{2}", "{", i, "}") //evaluates to {24.00}

Using a PHP variable in a text input value = statement

Solution

You are missing an echo. Each time that you want to show the value of a variable to HTML you need to echo it.

<input type="text" name="idtest" value="<?php echo $idtest; ?>" >

Note: Depending on the value, your echo is the function you use to escape it like htmlspecialchars.

Bootstrap button drop-down inside responsive table not visible because of scroll

Try it once. after 1 hour of research on net I found Best Solution for this Problem.

Solution:- just add script

(function () {
    // hold onto the drop down menu                                             
    var dropdownMenu;

    // and when you show it, move it to the body                                     
    $(window).on('show.bs.dropdown', function (e) {

    // grab the menu        
    dropdownMenu = $(e.target).find('.dropdown-menu');

    // detach it and append it to the body
    $('body').append(dropdownMenu.detach());

    // grab the new offset position
    var eOffset = $(e.target).offset();

    // make sure to place it where it would normally go (this could be improved)
    dropdownMenu.css({
        'display': 'block',
            'top': eOffset.top + $(e.target).outerHeight(),
            'left': eOffset.left
       });
    });

    // and when you hide it, reattach the drop down, and hide it normally                                                   
    $(window).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
        $(e.target).append(dropdownMenu.detach());
        dropdownMenu.hide();
    });
})();

Rendering a template variable as HTML

You can render a template in your code like so:

from django.template import Context, Template
t = Template('This is your <span>{{ message }}</span>.')

c = Context({'message': 'Your message'})
html = t.render(c)

See the Django docs for further information.

How to parse JSON to receive a Date object in JavaScript?

There is no standard JSON representation of dates. You should do what @jAndy suggested and not serialize a DateTime at all; just send an RFC 1123 date string ToString("r") or a seconds-from-Unix-epoch number, or something else that you can use in the JavaScript to construct a Date.

How to run a single RSpec test?

My preferred method for running specific tests is slightly different - I added the lines

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    config.filter_run :focus => true
    config.run_all_when_everything_filtered = true
  end

To my spec_helper file.

Now, whenever I want to run one specific test (or context, or spec), I can simply add the tag "focus" to it, and run my test as normal - only the focused test(s) will run. If I remove all the focus tags, the run_all_when_everything_filtered kicks in and runs all the tests as normal.

It's not quite as quick and easy as the command line options - it does require you to edit the file for the test you want to run. But it gives you a lot more control, I feel.

What's the opposite of 'make install', i.e. how do you uninstall a library in Linux?

Make

Make is the program that’s used to install the program that’s compiled from the source code. It’s not the Linux package manager so it doesn’t keep track of the files it installs. This makes it difficult to uninstall the files afterward.

The Make Install command copies the built program and packages into the library directory and specified locations from the makefile. These locations can vary based on the examination that’s performed by the configure script.

CheckInstall

CheckInstall is the program that’s used to install or uninstall programs that are compiled from the source code. It monitors and copies the files that are installed using the make program. It also installs the files using the Linux package manager which allows it to be uninstalled like any regular package.

The CheckInstall command is used to call the Make Install command. It monitors the files that are installed and creates a binary package from them. It also installs the binary package with the Linux package manager.

Replace "source_location.deb" and "name" with your information from the Screenshot.

Execute the following commands in the source package directory:

  1. Install CheckInstall sudo apt-get install checkinstall
  2. Run the Configure script sudo ./configure
  3. Run the Make command sudo make
  4. Run CheckInstall sudo checkinstall
  5. Reinstall the package sudo dpkg --install --force-overwrite source_location.deb
  6. Remove the package sudo apt remove name

Here's an article article I wrote that covers the whole process with explanations.

How do you revert to a specific tag in Git?

You can use git checkout.

I tried the accepted solution but got an error, warning: refname '<tagname>' is ambiguous'

But as the answer states, tags do behave like a pointer to a commit, so as you would with a commit hash, you can just checkout the tag. The only difference is you preface it with tags/:

git checkout tags/<tagname>

how to check the version of jar file?

Thought I would give a more recent answer as this question still comes up pretty high on searches.

Checking CLi JAR Version:

Run the following on the CLi jar file:

unzip -p jenkins-cli.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Example Output:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Built-By: kohsuke
Jenkins-CLI-Version: 2.210  <--- Jenkins CLI Version
Created-By: Apache Maven 3.6.1
Build-Jdk: 1.8.0_144
Main-Class: hudson.cli.CLI

The CLi version is listed above.

To get the Server Version, run the following:

java -jar ./jenkins-cli.jar -s https://<Server_URL> -auth <email>@<domain>.com:<API Token> version

(the above will vary based on your implementation of authentication, please change accordingly)

Example Output:

Dec 23, 2019 4:42:55 PM org.apache.sshd.common.util.security.AbstractSecurityProviderRegistrar getOrCreateProvider
INFO: getOrCreateProvider(EdDSA) created instance of net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.EdDSASecurityProvider

Does return stop a loop?

"return" does exit the function but if you want to return large sums of data, you can store it in an array and then return it instead of trying to returning each piece of data 1 by 1 in the loop.

Will Google Android ever support .NET?

.NET and Mono are great environments, with many tools and and excellent skills base of people who know how to use them.

I think Mono has the opportunity to be the mobile cross-platform development environment of choice, seeing as they are the only alternative to Objective-C on the iPhone and should be portable to Android, and .NET is already on Windows Mobile.

I'm really hoping to see a solid implementation of Mono on Android, with wrappers for the Android API as with Monotouch, and would be prepared to pay for it since I'm not in a position to do it myself.

What is the boundary in multipart/form-data?

multipart/form-data contains boundary to separate name/value pairs. The boundary acts like a marker of each chunk of name/value pairs passed when a form gets submitted. The boundary is automatically added to a content-type of a request header.

The form with enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute will have a request header Content-Type : multipart/form-data; boundary --- WebKit193844043-h (browser generated vaue).

The payload passed looks something like this:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW

    -----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”file”; filename=”captcha”
    Content-Type:

    -----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”action”

    submit
    -----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--

On the webservice side, it's consumed in @Consumes("multipart/form-data") form.

Beware, when testing your webservice using chrome postman, you need to check the form data option(radio button) and File menu from the dropdown box to send attachment. Explicit provision of content-type as multipart/form-data throws an error. Because boundary is missing as it overrides the curl request of post man to server with content-type by appending the boundary which works fine.

See RFC1341 sec7.2 The Multipart Content-Type

Python: Differentiating between row and column vectors

Use double [] when writing your vectors.

Then, if you want a row vector:

row_vector = array([[1, 2, 3]])    # shape (1, 3)

Or if you want a column vector:

col_vector = array([[1, 2, 3]]).T  # shape (3, 1)

Git: How to find a deleted file in the project commit history?

If you do not know the exact path you may use

git log --all --full-history -- "**/thefile.*"

If you know the path the file was at, you can do this:

git log --all --full-history -- <path-to-file>

This should show a list of commits in all branches which touched that file. Then, you can find the version of the file you want, and display it with...

git show <SHA> -- <path-to-file>

Or restore it into your working copy with:

git checkout <SHA>^ -- <path-to-file>

Note the caret symbol (^), which gets the checkout prior to the one identified, because at the moment of <SHA> commit the file is deleted, we need to look at the previous commit to get the deleted file's contents

Change values on matplotlib imshow() graph axis

I would try to avoid changing the xticklabels if possible, otherwise it can get very confusing if you for example overplot your histogram with additional data.

Defining the range of your grid is probably the best and with imshow it can be done by adding the extent keyword. This way the axes gets adjusted automatically. If you want to change the labels i would use set_xticks with perhaps some formatter. Altering the labels directly should be the last resort.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6,6))

ax.imshow(hist, cmap=plt.cm.Reds, interpolation='none', extent=[80,120,32,0])
ax.set_aspect(2) # you may also use am.imshow(..., aspect="auto") to restore the aspect ratio

Non greedy (reluctant) regex matching in sed?

In this specific case, you can get the job done without using a non-greedy regex.

Try this non-greedy regex [^/]* instead of .*?:

sed 's|\(http://[^/]*/\).*|\1|g'

How to set environment variables in PyCharm?

This is what you can do to source an .env (and .flaskenv) file in the pycharm flask/django console. It would also work for a normal python console of course.

  1. Do pip install python-dotenv in your environment (the same as being pointed to by pycharm).

  2. Go to: Settings > Build ,Execution, Deployment > Console > Flask/django Console

  3. In "starting script" include something like this near the top:

    from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv(verbose=True)

The .env file can look like this: export KEY=VALUE

It doesn't matter if one includes export or not for dotenv to read it.

As an alternative you could also source the .env file in the activate shell script for the respective virtual environement.

When to use setAttribute vs .attribute= in JavaScript?

You should always use the direct .attribute form (but see the quirksmode link below) if you want programmatic access in JavaScript. It should handle the different types of attributes (think "onload") correctly.

Use getAttribute/setAttribute when you wish to deal with the DOM as it is (e.g. literal text only). Different browsers confuse the two. See Quirks modes: attribute (in)compatibility.

Converting string to number in javascript/jQuery

For your case, just use:

var votevalue = +$(this).data('votevalue');

There are some ways to convert string to number in javascript.

The best way:

var str = "1";
var num = +str; //simple enough and work with both int and float

You also can:

var str = "1";
var num = Number(str); //without new. work with both int and float

or

var str = "1";
var num = parseInt(str,10); //for integer number
var num = parseFloat(str); //for float number

DON'T:

var str = "1";
var num = new Number(str);  //num will be an object. typeof num == 'object'

Use parseInt only for special case, for example

var str = "ff";
var num = parseInt(str,16); //255

var str = "0xff";
var num = parseInt(str); //255

Error: select command denied to user '<userid>'@'<ip-address>' for table '<table-name>'

A bit late to the party but, should you have root access, you can do the following directly:

Log into your mysql as root,

$ mysql -u root -p

Show databases;

mysql>SHOW DATABASES;

Select mysql database, which is where all privileges info is located

mysql>USE mysql;

Show tables.

mysql>SHOW TABLES;

The table concerning privileges for your case is 'db', so let's see what columns it has:

mysql>DESC db;

In order to list the users privileges, type the following command, for example:

mysql>SELECT user, host, db, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv FROM db ORDER BY user, db;

If you can't find that user or if you see that that user has a 'N' in the Select_priv column, then you have to either INSERT or UPDATE accordingly:

INSERT:

INSERT INTO db (Host,Db,User,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv) VALUES ('localhost','DBname','UserName','Y' ,'N','N','N');

UPDATE:

UPDATE db SET Select_priv = 'Y' WHERE User = 'UserName' AND Db = 'DBname' AND Host='localhost';

Finally, type the following command:

mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Ciao.

Making WPF applications look Metro-styled, even in Windows 7? (Window Chrome / Theming / Theme)

Take a look at this WPF metro-styled window with optional glowing borders.

This is a stand-alone application using no other libraries than Microsoft.Windows.Shell (included) to create metro-styled windows with optional glowing borders.

Supports Windows all the way back to XP (.NET4).

TSQL Default Minimum DateTime

"Perhaps I should leave it null"

Don't use magic numbers - it's bad practice - if you don't have a value leave it null

Otherwise if you really want a default date - use one of the other techniques posted to set a default date

More than 1 row in <Input type="textarea" />

As said by Sparky in comments on many answers to this question, there is NOT any textarea value for the type attribute of the input tag.

On other terms, the following markup is not valid :

<input type="textarea" />

And the browser replaces it by the default :

<input type="text" />

To define a multi-lines text input, use :

<textarea></textarea>

See the textarea element documentation for more details.

Test for array of string type in TypeScript

You cannot test for string[] in the general case but you can test for Array quite easily the same as in JavaScript https://stackoverflow.com/a/767492/390330

If you specifically want for string array you can do something like:

if (Array.isArray(value)) {
   var somethingIsNotString = false;
   value.forEach(function(item){
      if(typeof item !== 'string'){
         somethingIsNotString = true;
      }
   })
   if(!somethingIsNotString && value.length > 0){
      console.log('string[]!');
   }
}

Eclipse gives “Java was started but returned exit code 13”

if you have updated your jdk to 7 you are most likely to face this problem.

This happens mainly due to:

  1. incompatible sdk and jdk versions
  2. using a 32 bit java version for your 64 bit eclipse JVM (programfilex86-java)

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO : firstly check the eclipse.ini file to see if you have a path that is pointing to your jdk it should look something like this

-vm    
C:\Program Files\Java\blah\blah\blah\javaw.exe    

if not then locate the jdk 7 javaw.exe file
sample :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\javaw.exe 

paste -vm and the path below it into your eclipse.ini file

-vm  
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\javaw.exe        

make sure that you type the above just before the -vmargs and after the OpenFile

C linked list inserting node at the end

This works fine:

struct node *addNode(node *head, int value) {
    node *newNode = (node *) malloc(sizeof(node));
    newNode->value = value;
    newNode->next = NULL;

    if (head == NULL) {
        // Add at the beginning
        head = newNode;
    } else {
        node *current = head;

        while (current->next != NULL) {
            current = current->next;
        };

        // Add at the end
        current->next = newNode;
    }

    return head;
}

Example usage:

struct node *head = NULL;

for (int currentIndex = 1; currentIndex < 10; currentIndex++) {
    head = addNode(head, currentIndex);
}

Convert char to int in C and C++

char is just a 1 byte integer. There is nothing magic with the char type! Just as you can assign a short to an int, or an int to a long, you can assign a char to an int.

Yes, the name of the primitive data type happens to be "char", which insinuates that it should only contain characters. But in reality, "char" is just a poor name choise to confuse everyone who tries to learn the language. A better name for it is int8_t, and you can use that name instead, if your compiler follows the latest C standard.

Though of course you should use the char type when doing string handling, because the index of the classic ASCII table fits in 1 byte. You could however do string handling with regular ints as well, although there is no practical reason in the real world why you would ever want to do that. For example, the following code will work perfectly:

  int str[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0' };

  for(i=0; i<6; i++)
  {
    printf("%c", str[i]);
  }

You have to realize that characters and strings are just numbers, like everything else in the computer. When you write 'a' in the source code, it is pre-processed into the number 97, which is an integer constant.

So if you write an expression like

char ch = '5';
ch = ch - '0';

this is actually equivalent to

char ch = (int)53;
ch = ch - (int)48;

which is then going through the C language integer promotions

ch = (int)ch - (int)48;

and then truncated to a char to fit the result type

ch = (char)( (int)ch - (int)48 );

There's a lot of subtle things like this going on between the lines, where char is implicitly treated as an int.

Center Div inside another (100% width) div

The below style to the inner div will center it.

Python extending with - using super() Python 3 vs Python 2

Just to have a simple and complete example for Python 3, which most people seem to be using now.

class MySuper(object):
    def __init__(self,a):
        self.a = a

class MySub(MySuper):
    def __init__(self,a,b):
        self.b = b
        super().__init__(a)

my_sub = MySub(42,'chickenman')
print(my_sub.a)
print(my_sub.b)

gives

42
chickenman

Trigger 404 in Spring-MVC controller?

Since Spring 3.0 you also can throw an Exception declared with @ResponseStatus annotation:

@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
public class ResourceNotFoundException extends RuntimeException {
    ...
}

@Controller
public class SomeController {
    @RequestMapping.....
    public void handleCall() {
        if (isFound()) {
            // whatever
        }
        else {
            throw new ResourceNotFoundException(); 
        }
    }
}

Elasticsearch: Failed to connect to localhost port 9200 - Connection refused

This will help you decipher the state of ElasticSearch service and what to do about it.

How to test if a double is an integer

Try this way,

public static boolean isInteger(double number){
    return Math.ceil(number) == Math.floor(number); 
}

for example:

Math.ceil(12.9) = 13; Math.floor(12.9) = 12;

hence 12.9 is not integer, nevertheless

 Math.ceil(12.0) = 12; Math.floor(12.0) =12; 

hence 12.0 is integer

C# go to next item in list based on if statement in foreach

Use continue; instead of break; to enter the next iteration of the loop without executing any more of the contained code.

foreach (Item item in myItemsList)
{
   if (item.Name == string.Empty)
   {
      // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation
      // that follows beneath
      continue;
   }

   if (item.Weight > 100)
   {
      // Display error message and move to next item in list.  Skip/ignore all validation
      // that follows beneath
      continue;
   }
}

Official docs are here, but they don't add very much color.

jQuery AJAX form data serialize using PHP

Change your code as follows -

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var form=$("#myForm");
$("#smt").click(function(){
$.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:form.attr("action"),
        data:form.serialize(),

        success: function(response){
        if(response == 1){
              $("#err").html("Hi Tony");//updated
        }  else {
            $("#err").html("I dont know you.");//updated
        }
        }
    });
});
});
</script>

PHP -

<?php
$user=$_POST['user'];
$pass=$_POST['pass'];

if($user=="tony")
{
    echo 1;   
}
else
{
    echo 0;    
}
?>

libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

Use pngcrush to remove the incorrect sRGB profile from the png file:

pngcrush -ow -rem allb -reduce file.png
  • -ow will overwrite the input file
  • -rem allb will remove all ancillary chunks except tRNS and gAMA
  • -reduce does lossless color-type or bit-depth reduction

In the console output you should see Removed the sRGB chunk, and possibly more messages about chunk removals. You will end up with a smaller, optimized PNG file. As the command will overwrite the original file, make sure to create a backup or use version control.

How can I prevent java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "N/A"?

Obviously you can't parse N/A to int value. you can do something like following to handle that NumberFormatException .

   String str="N/A";
   try {
        int val=Integer.parseInt(str);
   }catch (NumberFormatException e){
       System.out.println("not a number"); 
   }

How to disable/enable select field using jQuery?

Disabled is a Boolean Attribute of the select element as stated by WHATWG, that means the RIGHT WAY TO DISABLE with jQuery would be

jQuery("#selectId").attr('disabled',true);

This would make this HTML

<select id="selectId" name="gender" disabled="disabled">
    <option value="-1">--Select a Gender--</option>
    <option value="0">Male</option>
    <option value="1">Female</option>
</select>

This works for both XHTML and HTML (W3School reference)

Yet it also can be done using it as property

jQuery("#selectId").prop('disabled', 'disabled');

getting

<select id="selectId" name="gender" disabled>

Which only works for HTML and not XTML

NOTE: A disabled element will not be submitted with the form as answered in this question: The disabled form element is not submitted

NOTE2: A disabled element may be greyed out.

NOTE3:

A form control that is disabled must prevent any click events that are queued on the user interaction task source from being dispatched on the element.

TL;DR

<script>
    var update_pizza = function () {
        if ($("#pizza").is(":checked")) {
            $('#pizza_kind').attr('disabled', false);
        } else {
            $('#pizza_kind').attr('disabled', true);
        }
    };
    $(update_pizza);
    $("#pizza").change(update_pizza);
</script>

Include CSS and Javascript in my django template

Refer django docs on static files.

In settings.py:

import os
CURRENT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__).decode('utf-8'))

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, 'media')

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

STATIC_ROOT = 'static/'

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
                    os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, 'static'),
)

Then place your js and css files static folder in your project. Not in media folder.

In views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, RequestContext

def view_name(request):
    #your stuff goes here
    return render_to_response('template.html', locals(), context_instance = RequestContext(request))

In template.html:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/style.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>

In urls.py:

from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
)

HTML5 iFrame Seamless Attribute

Still at 2014 seamless iframe is not fully supported by all of the major browsers, so you should look for an alternative solution.

By January 2014 seamless iframe is still not supported for Firefox neither IE 11, and it's supported by Chrome, Safari and Opera (the webkit version)

If you wanna check this and more supported options in detail, the HTML5 test site would be a good option:

http://html5test.com/results/desktop.html

You can check different platforms, at the score section you can click every browser and see what's supported and what's not.

WebSocket with SSL

You can't use WebSockets over HTTPS, but you can use WebSockets over TLS (HTTPS is HTTP over TLS). Just use "wss://" in the URI.

I believe recent version of Firefox won't let you use non-TLS WebSockets from an HTTPS page, but the reverse shouldn't be a problem.

System.IO.IOException: file used by another process

Sounds like an external process (AV?) is locking it, but can't you avoid the problem in the first place?

private static bool modifyFile(FileInfo file, string extractedMethod, string modifiedMethod)
{
    try
    {
        string contents = File.ReadAllText(file.FullName);
        Console.WriteLine("input : {0}", contents);
        contents = contents.Replace(extractedMethod, modifiedMethod);
        Console.WriteLine("replaced String {0}", contents);
        File.WriteAllText(file.FullName, contents);
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
        return false;
    }
}

CSS Transition doesn't work with top, bottom, left, right

Something that is not relevant for the OP, but maybe for someone else in the future:

For pixels (px), if the value is "0", the unit can be omitted: right: 0 and right: 0px both work.

However I noticed that in Firefox and Chrome this is not the case for the seconds unit (s). While transition: right 1s ease 0s works, transition: right 1s ease 0 (missing unit s for last value transition-delay) does not (it does work in Edge however).

In the following example, you'll see that right works for both 0px and 0, but transition only works for 0s and it doesn't work with 0.

If you are generating this PDF dynamically, it may be better to use a MemoryStream, and create the document in memory instead of saving to file. The code would be something like:

Document document = new Document();

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

try
{
    PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, stream);
    pdfWriter.CloseStream = false;

    document.Open();
    document.Add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine(de.Message);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
    Console.Error.WriteLine(ioe.Message);
}

document.Close();

stream.Flush(); //Always catches me out
stream.Position = 0; //Not sure if this is required

return File(stream, "application/pdf", "DownloadName.pdf");

NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key must be present in Info.plist to use camera roll

In order to save or retrieve an image from the camera roll. Additionally, you need to ask the user for the permission otherwise you'll get this error or your app may get crashed. To save yourself from this add this into your info.plist

<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires read and write permission from the user.</string>

In the case of Xamarin.iOS

 if you're adding it from the generic editor then "Privacy - Photo Library Additions Usage Description" will be the given option you will find out instead of "NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription".

Using Selenium Web Driver to retrieve value of a HTML input

You can do like this :

webelement time=driver.findElement(By.id("input_name")).getAttribute("value");

this will give you the time displaying on the webpage.

Set min-width either by content or 200px (whichever is greater) together with max-width

The problem is that flex: 1 sets flex-basis: 0. Instead, you need

  flex-basis: auto; /* default value */

Implement Stack using Two Queues

Here is very simple solution which uses one Queue and gives functionality like Stack.

public class CustomStack<T>
{
    Queue<T> que = new Queue<T>();

    public void push(T t) // STACK = LIFO / QUEUE = FIFO
    {

        if( que.Count == 0)
        {
            que.Enqueue(t);
        }
        else
        {
            que.Enqueue(t);
            for (int i = 0; i < que.Count-1; i++)
            {
                var data = que.Dequeue();

                que.Enqueue(data);
            }
        }

    }

    public void pop()
    {

        Console.WriteLine("\nStack Implementation:");
        foreach (var item in que)
        {
            Console.Write("\n" + item.ToString() + "\t");
        }

        var data = que.Dequeue();
        Console.Write("\n Dequeing :" + data);
    }

    public void top()
    {

        Console.Write("\n Top :" + que.Peek());
    }


}

So in the above class named "CustomStack" what I am doing is just checking the queue for empty , if empty then insert one and from then on wards insert and then remove insert. By this logic first will come last. Example : In queue I inserted 1 and now trying to insert 2. Second time remove 1 and again insert so it becomes in reverse order.

Thank you.

How to automatically crop and center an image

Example with img tag but without background-image

This solution retains the img tag so that we do not lose the ability to drag or right-click to save the image but without background-image just center and crop with css.

Maintain the aspect ratio fine except in very hight images. (check the link)

(view in action)

Markup

<div class="center-cropped">
    <img src="http://placehold.it/200x150" alt="" />
</div>

? CSS

div.center-cropped {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  overflow:hidden;
}
div.center-cropped img {
  height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  left: 50%;
  position: relative;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
}

PowerShell Script to Find and Replace for all Files with a Specific Extension

Getting value from table cell in JavaScript...not jQuery

Have you tried innerHTML?

I'd be inclined to use getElementsByTagName() to find the <tr> elements, and then on each to call it again to find the <td> elements. To get the contents, you can either use innerHTML or the appropriate (browser-specific) variation on innerText.

Getting value of HTML text input

Yes, you can use jQuery to make this done, the idea is

Use a hidden value in your form, and copy the value from external text box to this hidden value just before submitting the form.

<form name="input" action="handle_email.php" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="email" id="email" />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form> 

<script>
   $("form").submit(function() {
     var emailFromOtherTextBox = $("#email_textbox").val();
     $("#email").val(emailFromOtherTextBox ); 
     return true;
  });
</script>

Duplicate Entire MySQL Database

This worked for me with command prompt, from OUTSIDE mysql shell:

# mysqldump -u root -p password db1 > dump.sql
# mysqladmin -u root -p password create db2
# mysql -u root -p password db2 < dump.sql

This looks for me the best way. If zipping "dump.sql" you can symply store it as a compressed backup. Cool! For a 1GB database with Innodb tables, about a minute to create "dump.sql", and about three minutes to dump data into the new DB db2.

Straight copying the hole db directory (mysql/data/db1) didn't work for me, I guess because of the InnoDB tables.

Can I add an image to an ASP.NET button?

I actually prefer to use the html button form element and make it runat=server. The button element can hold other elements inside it. You can even add formatting inside it with span's or strong's. Here is an example:

<button id="BtnSave" runat="server"><img src="Images/save.png" />Save</button>

Is it better to use path() or url() in urls.py for django 2.0?

path is simply new in Django 2.0, which was only released a couple of weeks ago. Most tutorials won't have been updated for the new syntax.

It was certainly supposed to be a simpler way of doing things; I wouldn't say that URL is more powerful though, you should be able to express patterns in either format.

Best way to return a value from a python script

If you want your script to return values, just do return [1,2,3] from a function wrapping your code but then you'd have to import your script from another script to even have any use for that information:

Return values (from a wrapping-function)

(again, this would have to be run by a separate Python script and be imported in order to even do any good):

import ...
def main():
    # calculate stuff
    return [1,2,3]

Exit codes as indicators

(This is generally just good for when you want to indicate to a governor what went wrong or simply the number of bugs/rows counted or w/e. Normally 0 is a good exit and >=1 is a bad exit but you could inter-prate them in any way you want to get data out of it)

import sys
# calculate and stuff
sys.exit(100)

And exit with a specific exit code depending on what you want that to tell your governor. I used exit codes when running script by a scheduling and monitoring environment to indicate what has happened.

(os._exit(100) also works, and is a bit more forceful)

Stdout as your relay

If not you'd have to use stdout to communicate with the outside world (like you've described). But that's generally a bad idea unless it's a parser executing your script and can catch whatever it is you're reporting to.

import sys
# calculate stuff
sys.stdout.write('Bugs: 5|Other: 10\n')
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.exit(0)

Are you running your script in a controlled scheduling environment then exit codes are the best way to go.

Files as conveyors

There's also the option to simply write information to a file, and store the result there.

# calculate
with open('finish.txt', 'wb') as fh:
    fh.write(str(5)+'\n')

And pick up the value/result from there. You could even do it in a CSV format for others to read simplistically.

Sockets as conveyors

If none of the above work, you can also use network sockets locally *(unix sockets is a great way on nix systems). These are a bit more intricate and deserve their own post/answer. But editing to add it here as it's a good option to communicate between processes. Especially if they should run multiple tasks and return values.

How do I clear a search box with an 'x' in bootstrap 3?

I tried to avoid too much custom CSS and after reading some other examples I merged the ideas there and got this solution:

<div class="form-group has-feedback has-clear">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="ctrl.searchService.searchTerm" ng-change="ctrl.search()" placeholder="Suche"/>
    <a class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-sign form-control-feedback form-control-clear" ng-click="ctrl.clearSearch()" style="pointer-events: auto; text-decoration: none;cursor: pointer;"></a>
</div>

As I don't use bootstrap's JavaScript, just the CSS together with Angular, I don't need the classes has-clear and form-control-clear, and I implemented the clear function in my AngularJS controller. With bootstrap's JavaScript this might be possible without own JavaScript.

C pointer to array/array of pointers disambiguation

int *arr1[5]

In this declaration, arr1 is an array of 5 pointers to integers. Reason: Square brackets have higher precedence over * (dereferncing operator). And in this type, number of rows are fixed (5 here), but number of columns is variable.

int (*arr2)[5]

In this declaration, arr2 is a pointer to an integer array of 5 elements. Reason: Here, () brackets have higher precedence than []. And in this type, number of rows is variable, but the number of columns is fixed (5 here).

What is the use of the @Temporal annotation in Hibernate?

What's a quick way to comment/uncomment lines in Vim?

For those tasks I use most of the time block selection.

Put your cursor on the first # character, press CtrlV (or CtrlQ for gVim), and go down until the last commented line and press x, that will delete all the # characters vertically.

For commenting a block of text is almost the same:

  1. First, go to the first line you want to comment, press CtrlV. This will put the editor in the VISUAL BLOCK mode.
  2. Then using the arrow key and select until the last line
  3. Now press ShiftI, which will put the editor in INSERT mode and then press #. This will add a hash to the first line.
  4. Then press Esc (give it a second), and it will insert a # character on all other selected lines.

For the stripped-down version of vim shipped with debian/ubuntu by default, type : s/^/# in the third step instead (any remaining highlighting of the first character of each line can be removed with :nohl).

Here are two small screen recordings for visual reference.

Using grep and sed to find and replace a string

Standard xargs has no good way to do it; you're better off using find -exec as someone else suggested, or wrap the sed in a script which does nothing if there are no arguments. GNU xargs has the --no-run-if-empty option, and BSD / OS X xargs has the -L option which looks like it should do something similar.

how to use a like with a join in sql?

If this is something you'll need to do often...then you may want to denormalize the relationship between tables A and B.

For example, on insert to table B, you could write zero or more entries to a juncion table mapping B to A based on partial mapping. Similarly, changes to either table could update this association.

This all depends on how frequently tables A and B are modified. If they are fairly static, then taking a hit on INSERT is less painful then repeated hits on SELECT.

LastLogon is the last time that the user logged into whichever domain controller you happen to have been load balanced to at the moment that you ran the GET-ADUser cmdlet, and is not replicated across the domain. You really should use LastLogonTimestamp if you want the time the last user logged in to any domain controller in your domain.

Can you set a border opacity in CSS?

*Not as far as i know there isn't what i do normally in this kind of circumstances is create a block beneath with a bigger size((bordersize*2)+originalsize) and make it transparent using

filter:alpha(opacity=50);
-moz-opacity:0.5;
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
opacity: 0.5;

here is an example

#main{
    width:400px;
    overflow:hidden;
    position:relative;
}
.border{
    width:100%;
    position:absolute;
    height:100%;
    background-color:#F00;
    filter:alpha(opacity=50);
    -moz-opacity:0.5;
    -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
    opacity: 0.5;
}
.content{
    margin:15px;/*size of border*/

Twitter-Bootstrap-2 logo image on top of navbar

You should remove navbar-fixed-top class otherwise navbar stays fixed on top of page where you want logo.


If you want to place logo inside navbar:

Navbar height (set in @navbarHeight LESS variable) is 40px by default. Your logo has to fit inside or you have to make navbar higher first.

Then use brand class:

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="navbar-inner">
    <div class="container">
      <a href="/" class="brand"><img alt="" src="/logo.gif" /></a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

If your logo is higher than 20px, you have to fix stylesheets as well.

If you do that in LESS:

.navbar .brand {
  @elementHeight: 32px;
  padding: ((@navbarHeight - @elementHeight) / 2 - 2) 20px ((@navbarHeight - @elementHeight) / 2 + 2);
}

@elementHeight should be set to your image height.

Padding calculation is taken from Twitter Bootstrap LESS - https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/v2.0.4/less/navbar.less#L51-52

Alternatively you can calculate padding values yourself and use pure CSS.

This works for Twitter Bootstrap versions 2.0.x, should work in 2.1 as well, but padding calculation was changed a bit: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/v2.1.0/less/navbar.less#L50

Initialize a string variable in Python: "" or None?

Python philosophy is to be readable.
That's why it's good practice to define your attributes in __init__() even if it's optional.
In the same spirit, you have to ask yourself what clearer for anyone who reads your code. In fact the type itself give much information about future use of your variable. So:

kind = None

Is syntaxically correct, but reader does not know much. Is it a string, a code as integer, a list, etc. ?

kind_str = None
kind = ""

Both say a little more, the first has the type in its name and the second in its declaration. I would go for the second, neater.

How to transfer some data to another Fragment?

Use a Bundle. Here's an example:

Fragment fragment = new Fragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt(key, value);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);

Bundle has put methods for lots of data types. See this

Then in your Fragment, retrieve the data (e.g. in onCreate() method) with:

Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
if (bundle != null) {
        int myInt = bundle.getInt(key, defaultValue);
}

Spring 3.0 - Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

I had the same error message while trying to deploy the application. In Spring, the security configuration xml can be a different one from applicationContext.xml, usually applicationContext-security.xml inside WEB-INF folder. The changes to be applied are for web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>

And the applicationContext.xml would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
    xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">

    <http auto-config='true'>
        <intercept-url pattern="/login.jsp" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY"/>
        <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
        <form-login login-page='login.jsp'/>
    </http>

</beans:beans>

Even after you make these changes, the namespace error will exist. To get rid of this, add the following jar files to the WEB-INF/lib and then to the library:

  • spring-security-acl-3.1.0.M2.jar
  • spring-security-config-3.1.0.M2.jar
  • spring-security-core-3.1.0.M2.jar
  • spring-security-taglibs-3.1.0.M2.jar
  • spring-security-web-3.1.0.M2.jar

Pythonic way to check if a file exists?

To check if a path is an existing file:

os.path.isfile(path)

Return True if path is an existing regular file. This follows symbolic links, so both islink() and isfile() can be true for the same path.

Pass multiple values with onClick in HTML link

Solution: Pass multiple arguments with onclick for html generated in JS

For html generated in JS , do as below (we are using single quote as string wrapper). Each argument has to wrapped in a single quote else all of yours argument will be considered as a single argument like functionName('a,b') , now its a single argument with value a,b.

We have to use string escape character backslash() to close first argument with single quote, give a separator comma in between and then start next argument with a single quote. (This is the magic code to use '\',\'')

Example:

$('#ValuationAssignedTable').append('<tr> <td><a href=# onclick="return ReAssign(\'' + valuationId  +'\',\'' + user + '\')">Re-Assign</a> </td>  </tr>');

When do you use Git rebase instead of Git merge?

It was explained many times what rebase and what merge is, but when should you use what?

When should you use rebase?

Rebase "lifts off" your changes and puts all the changes of the rebased branch into your current branch and then puts your changes on top of it. It therefore changes the history of your branch.

  • when you have not pushed the branch / no one else is working on it
  • you want your to see all your changes at one point together when merging back to the source branch
  • you want to avoid the auto-generated "merged .." commit messages

I said "you want to see all your changes at one place" because sometimes a merge operation puts all your changes together in one commit (some: merged from ... message). Rebase makes your change look like you made your commits all after each other with no one else doing something in between. This makes it easier to see, what you changed for your feature.

Make sure though, you use git merge feature-branch --ff-only to make sure there are no conflicts creating a single commit when you are merging your feature back to develop/master.

When should you use merge?

  • when you have pushed the branch / others are working on it too (rebase gets very complicated if others work on that branch too!)
  • you don't need the full history(*) / your feature doesn't have to have it's commits all in one place.

(*) you can avoid that your feature only gets one "merged .." commits by first merging the develop branch to your feature and then merging your feature back to develeop. This still gives you a "merged .." commit, but a least all the commits of your feature are still visible.

JavaScript get clipboard data on paste event (Cross browser)

Just let the browser paste as usual in its content editable div and then after the paste swap any span elements used for custom text styles with the text itself. This seems to work okay in internet explorer and the other browsers I tried...

$('[contenteditable]').on('paste', function (e) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        $(e.target).children('span').each(function () {
            $(this).replaceWith($(this).text());
        });
    }, 0);
});

This solution assumes that you are running jQuery and that you don't want text formatting in any of your content editable divs.

The plus side is that it's super simple.

Spring: @Component versus @Bean

@Component and @Bean do two quite different things, and shouldn't be confused.

@Component (and @Service and @Repository) are used to auto-detect and auto-configure beans using classpath scanning. There's an implicit one-to-one mapping between the annotated class and the bean (i.e. one bean per class). Control of wiring is quite limited with this approach, since it's purely declarative.

@Bean is used to explicitly declare a single bean, rather than letting Spring do it automatically as above. It decouples the declaration of the bean from the class definition, and lets you create and configure beans exactly how you choose.

To answer your question...

would it have been possible to re-use the @Component annotation instead of introducing @Bean annotation?

Sure, probably; but they chose not to, since the two are quite different. Spring's already confusing enough without muddying the waters further.

How to fetch all Git branches

You don't see the remote branches because you are not tracking them.

  1. Make sure you are tracking all of the remote branches (or whichever ones you want to track).
  2. Update your local branches to reflect the remote branches.

Track all remote branches:

Track all branches that exist in the remote repo.

Manually do it:

You would replace <branch> with a branch that is displayed from the output of git branch -r.

git branch -r
git branch --track <branch>

Do it with a bash script

for i in $(git branch -r | grep -vE "HEAD|master"); do git branch --track ${i#*/} $i; done

Update information about the remote branches on your local computer:

This fetches updates on branches from the remote repo which you are tracking in your local repo. This does not alter your local branches. Your local git repo is now aware of things that have happened on the remote repo branches. An example would be that a new commit has been pushed to the remote master, doing a fetch will now alert you that your local master is behind by 1 commit.

git fetch --all

Update information about the remote branches on your local computer and update local branches:

Does a fetch followed by a merge for all branches from the remote to the local branch. An example would be that a new commit has been pushed to the remote master, doing a pull will update your local repo about the changes in the remote branch and then it will merge those changes into your local branch. This can create quite a mess due to merge conflicts.

git pull --all

Is there an advantage to use a Synchronized Method instead of a Synchronized Block?

As already said here synchronized block can use user-defined variable as lock object, when synchronized function uses only "this". And of course you can manipulate with areas of your function which should be synchronized. But everyone says that no difference between synchronized function and block which covers whole function using "this" as lock object. That is not true, difference is in byte code which will be generated in both situations. In case of synchronized block usage should be allocated local variable which holds reference to "this". And as result we will have a little bit larger size for function (not relevant if you have only few number of functions).

More detailed explanation of the difference you can find here: http://www.artima.com/insidejvm/ed2/threadsynchP.html

How to filter rows containing a string pattern from a Pandas dataframe

df[df['ids'].str.contains('ball', na = False)] # valid for (at least) pandas version 0.17.1

Step-by-step explanation (from inner to outer):

  • df['ids'] selects the ids column of the data frame (technically, the object df['ids'] is of type pandas.Series)
  • df['ids'].str allows us to apply vectorized string methods (e.g., lower, contains) to the Series
  • df['ids'].str.contains('ball') checks each element of the Series as to whether the element value has the string 'ball' as a substring. The result is a Series of Booleans indicating True or False about the existence of a 'ball' substring.
  • df[df['ids'].str.contains('ball')] applies the Boolean 'mask' to the dataframe and returns a view containing appropriate records.
  • na = False removes NA / NaN values from consideration; otherwise a ValueError may be returned.

How would I run an async Task<T> method synchronously?

Be advised this answer is three years old. I wrote it based mostly on a experience with .Net 4.0, and very little with 4.5 especially with async-await. Generally speaking it's a nice simple solution, but it sometimes breaks things. Please read the discussion in the comments.

.Net 4.5

Just use this:

// For Task<T>: will block until the task is completed...
var result = task.Result; 

// For Task (not Task<T>): will block until the task is completed...
task2.RunSynchronously();

See: TaskAwaiter, Task.Result, Task.RunSynchronously


.Net 4.0

Use this:

var x = (IAsyncResult)task;
task.Start();

x.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();

...or this:

task.Start();
task.Wait();

jquery validate check at least one checkbox

This is how I have dealt with it in the past:

$().ready(function() {                                                      
    $("#contact").validate({
        submitHandler: function(form) {
            // see if selectone is even being used
            var boxes = $('.selectone:checkbox');
            if(boxes.length > 0) {
                if( $('.selectone:checkbox:checked').length < 1) {
                    alert('Please select at least one checkbox');
                    boxes[0].focus();
                    return false;
                }
            }
            form.submit();
        }
    }); 

});

How to set ID using javascript?

Do you mean like this?

var hello1 = document.getElementById('hello1');
hello1.id = btoa(hello1.id);

To further the example, say you wanted to get all elements with the class 'abc'. We can use querySelectorAll() to accomplish this:

HTML

<div class="abc"></div>
<div class="abc"></div>

JS

var abcElements = document.querySelectorAll('.abc');

// Set their ids
for (var i = 0; i < abcElements.length; i++)
    abcElements[i].id = 'abc-' + i;

This will assign the ID 'abc-<index number>' to each element. So it would come out like this:

<div class="abc" id="abc-0"></div>
<div class="abc" id="abc-1"></div>

To create an element and assign an id we can use document.createElement() and then appendChild().

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.id = 'hello1';

var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.appendChild(div);

Update

You can set the id on your element like this if your script is in your HTML file.

<input id="{{str(product["avt"]["fto"])}}" >
<span>New price :</span>
<span class="assign-me">

<script type="text/javascript">
    var s = document.getElementsByClassName('assign-me')[0];
    s.id = btoa({{str(produit["avt"]["fto"])}});
</script>

Your requirements still aren't 100% clear though.

How to get the fragment instance from the FragmentActivity?

To get the fragment instance in a class that extends FragmentActivity:

MyclassFragment instanceFragment=
    (MyclassFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.idFragment);

To get the fragment instance in a class that extends Fragment:

MyclassFragment instanceFragment =  
    (MyclassFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.idFragment);

React Hooks useState() with Object

, do it like this example :

first creat state of the objects:

const [isSelected, setSelection] = useState({ id_1: false }, { id_2: false }, { id_3: false });

then change the value on of them:

// if the id_1 is false make it true or return it false.

onValueChange={() => isSelected.id_1 == false ? setSelection({ ...isSelected, id_1: true }) : setSelection({ ...isSelected, id_1: false })}

How do I update an entity using spring-data-jpa?

If your primary key is autoincrement then, you have to set the value for the primary key. for the save(); method to work as a update().else it will create a new record in db.

if you are using jsp form then use hidden filed to set primary key.

Jsp:

<form:input type="hidden" path="id" value="${user.id}"/>

Java:

@PostMapping("/update")
public String updateUser(@ModelAttribute User user) {
    repo.save(user);
    return "redirect:userlist";
}

also look at this:

@Override
  @Transactional
  public Customer save(Customer customer) {

    // Is new?
    if (customer.getId() == null) {
      em.persist(customer);
      return customer;
    } else {
      return em.merge(customer);
    }
  }

Hash function for a string

Use boost::hash

#include <boost\functional\hash.hpp>

...

std::string a = "ABCDE";
size_t b = boost::hash_value(a);

:last-child not working as expected?

The last-child selector is used to select the last child element of a parent. It cannot be used to select the last child element with a specific class under a given parent element.

The other part of the compound selector (which is attached before the :last-child) specifies extra conditions which the last child element must satisfy in-order for it to be selected. In the below snippet, you would see how the selected elements differ depending on the rest of the compound selector.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent :last-child{ /* this will select all elements which are last child of .parent */_x000D_
  font-weight: bold;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent div:last-child{ /* this will select the last child of .parent only if it is a div*/_x000D_
  background: crimson;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent div.child-2:last-child{ /* this will select the last child of .parent only if it is a div and has the class child-2*/_x000D_
  color: beige;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class='parent'>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div>Child w/o class</div>_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<div class='parent'>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child-2'>Child w/o class</div>_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<div class='parent'>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <div class='child'>Child</div>_x000D_
  <p>Child w/o class</p>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


To answer your question, the below would style the last child li element with background color as red.

li:last-child{
    background-color: red;
}

But the following selector would not work for your markup because the last-child does not have the class='complete' even though it is an li.

li.complete:last-child{
    background-color: green;
}

It would have worked if (and only if) the last li in your markup also had class='complete'.


To address your query in the comments:

@Harry I find it rather odd that: .complete:last-of-type does not work, yet .complete:first-of-type does work, regardless of it's position it's parents element. Thanks for your help.

The selector .complete:first-of-type works in the fiddle because it (that is, the element with class='complete') is still the first element of type li within the parent. Try to add <li>0</li> as the first element under the ul and you will find that first-of-type also flops. This is because the first-of-type and last-of-type selectors select the first/last element of each type under the parent.

Refer to the answer posted by BoltClock, in this thread for more details about how the selector works. That is as comprehensive as it gets :)

How can I get a collection of keys in a JavaScript dictionary?

One option is using Object.keys():

Object.keys(driversCounter)

It works fine for modern browsers (however, Internet Explorer supports it starting from version 9 only).

To add compatible support you can copy the code snippet provided in MDN.

adding child nodes in treeview

Guys use this code for adding nodes and childnodes for TreeView from C# code. *

KISS (Keep It Simple & Stupid :)*

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        TreeNode b1 = new TreeNode("Banana");
        TreeNode a2 = new TreeNode("gree apple");

        a1.ChildNodes.Add(a2);

}

Rails 3.1 and Image Assets

For what it's worth, when I did this I found that no folder should be include in the path in the css file. For instance if I have app/assets/images/example.png, and I put this in my css file...

div.example { background: url('example.png'); }

... then somehow it magically works. I figured this out by running the rake assets:precompile task, which just sucks everything out of all your load paths and dumps it in a junk drawer folder: public/assets. That's ironic, IMO...

In any case this means you don't need to put any folder paths, everything in your assets folders will all end up living in one huge directory. How this system resolves file name conflicts is unclear, you may need to be careful about that.

Kind of frustrating there aren't better docs out there for this big of a change.

How to get response from S3 getObject in Node.js?

Alternatively you could use minio-js client library get-object.js

var Minio = require('minio')

var s3Client = new Minio({
  endPoint: 's3.amazonaws.com',
  accessKey: 'YOUR-ACCESSKEYID',
  secretKey: 'YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY'
})

var size = 0
// Get a full object.
s3Client.getObject('my-bucketname', 'my-objectname', function(e, dataStream) {
  if (e) {
    return console.log(e)
  }
  dataStream.on('data', function(chunk) {
    size += chunk.length
  })
  dataStream.on('end', function() {
    console.log("End. Total size = " + size)
  })
  dataStream.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e)
  })
})

Disclaimer: I work for Minio Its open source, S3 compatible object storage written in golang with client libraries available in Java, Python, Js, golang.

Java replace issues with ' (apostrophe/single quote) and \ (backslash) together

If you want to use it in JavaScript then you can use

str.replace("SP","\\SP");

But in Java

str.replaceAll("SP","\\SP");

will work perfectly.

SP: special character

Otherwise you can use Apache's EscapeUtil. It will solve your problem.

How to post JSON to PHP with curl

Jordans analysis of why the $_POST-array isn't populated is correct. However, you can use

$data = file_get_contents("php://input");

to just retrieve the http body and handle it yourself. See PHP input/output streams.

From a protocol perspective this is actually more correct, since you're not really processing http multipart form data anyway. Also, use application/json as content-type when posting your request.

How do I left align these Bootstrap form items?

Just my two cents. If you are using Bootstrap 3 then I would just add an extra style into your own site's stylesheet which controls the text-left style of the control-label.

If you were to add text-left to the label, by default there is another style which overrides this .form-horizontal .control-label. So if you add:

.form-horizontal .control-label.text-left{
    text-align: left;
}

Then the built in text-left style is applied to the label correctly.

Parse Json string in C#

json:
[{"ew":"vehicles","hws":["car","van","bike","plane","bus"]},{"ew":"countries","hws":["America","India","France","Japan","South Africa"]}]

c# code: to take only a single value, for example the word "bike".

//res=[{"ew":"vehicles","hws":["car","van","bike","plane","bus"]},{"ew":"countries","hws":["America","India","France","Japan","South Africa"]}]

         dynamic stuff1 = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(res);
         string Text = stuff1[0].hws[2];
         Console.WriteLine(Text);

output:

Aggregate function in SQL WHERE-Clause

HAVING is like WHERE with aggregate functions, or you could use a subquery.

select EmployeeId, sum(amount)
from Sales
group by Employee
having sum(amount) > 20000

Or

select EmployeeId, sum(amount)
from Sales
group by Employee
where EmployeeId in (
    select max(EmployeeId) from Employees)

How do I calculate a point on a circle’s circumference?

Here is my implementation in C#:

    public static PointF PointOnCircle(float radius, float angleInDegrees, PointF origin)
    {
        // Convert from degrees to radians via multiplication by PI/180        
        float x = (float)(radius * Math.Cos(angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180F)) + origin.X;
        float y = (float)(radius * Math.Sin(angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180F)) + origin.Y;

        return new PointF(x, y);
    }

CASE (Contains) rather than equal statement

CASE WHEN ', ' + dbo.Table.Column +',' LIKE '%, lactulose,%' 
  THEN 'BP Medication' ELSE '' END AS [BP Medication]

The leading ', ' and trailing ',' are added so that you can handle the match regardless of where it is in the string (first entry, last entry, or anywhere in between).

That said, why are you storing data you want to search on as a comma-separated string? This violates all kinds of forms and best practices. You should consider normalizing your schema.

In addition: don't use 'single quotes' as identifier delimiters; this syntax is deprecated. Use [square brackets] (preferred) or "double quotes" if you must. See "string literals as column aliases" here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510662%28SQL.100%29.aspx

EDIT If you have multiple values, you can do this (you can't short-hand this with the other CASE syntax variant or by using something like IN()):

CASE 
  WHEN ', ' + dbo.Table.Column +',' LIKE '%, lactulose,%' 
  WHEN ', ' + dbo.Table.Column +',' LIKE '%, amlodipine,%' 
  THEN 'BP Medication' ELSE '' END AS [BP Medication]

If you have more values, it might be worthwhile to use a split function, e.g.

USE tempdb;
GO

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitStrings(@List NVARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS TABLE
AS
   RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT Item FROM
       ( SELECT Item = x.i.value('(./text())[1]', 'nvarchar(max)')
         FROM ( SELECT [XML] = CONVERT(XML, '<i>'
         + REPLACE(@List,',', '</i><i>') + '</i>').query('.')
           ) AS a CROSS APPLY [XML].nodes('i') AS x(i) ) AS y
       WHERE Item IS NOT NULL
   );
GO

CREATE TABLE dbo.[Table](ID INT, [Column] VARCHAR(255));
GO

INSERT dbo.[Table] VALUES
(1,'lactulose, Lasix (furosemide), oxazepam, propranolol, rabeprazole, sertraline,'),
(2,'lactulite, Lasix (furosemide), lactulose, propranolol, rabeprazole, sertraline,'),
(3,'lactulite, Lasix (furosemide), oxazepam, propranolol, rabeprazole, sertraline,'),
(4,'lactulite, Lasix (furosemide), lactulose, amlodipine, rabeprazole, sertraline,');

SELECT t.ID
  FROM dbo.[Table] AS t
  INNER JOIN dbo.SplitStrings('lactulose,amlodipine') AS s
  ON ', ' + t.[Column] + ',' LIKE '%, ' + s.Item + ',%'
  GROUP BY t.ID;
GO

Results:

FFmpeg: How to split video efficiently?

Here is a simple Windows bat file to split incoming file into 50 parts. Each part has length 1 minute. Sorry for such dumb script. I hope it is better to have a dumb windows script instead of do not have it at all. Perhaps it help someone. (Based on "bat file for loop" from this site.)

set var=0
@echo off
:start
set lz=
if %var% EQU 50 goto end
if %var% LEQ 9 set lz=0
echo part %lz%%var%
ffmpeg -ss 00:%lz%%var%:00 -t 00:01:00 -i %1 -acodec copy -vcodec copy %2_%lz%%var%.mp4
set /a var+=1
goto start

:end
echo var has reached %var%.

How to create a timer using tkinter?

Tkinter root windows have a method called after which can be used to schedule a function to be called after a given period of time. If that function itself calls after you've set up an automatically recurring event.

Here is a working example:

# for python 3.x use 'tkinter' rather than 'Tkinter'
import Tkinter as tk
import time

class App():
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = tk.Tk()
        self.label = tk.Label(text="")
        self.label.pack()
        self.update_clock()
        self.root.mainloop()

    def update_clock(self):
        now = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
        self.label.configure(text=now)
        self.root.after(1000, self.update_clock)

app=App()

Bear in mind that after doesn't guarantee the function will run exactly on time. It only schedules the job to be run after a given amount of time. It the app is busy there may be a delay before it is called since Tkinter is single-threaded. The delay is typically measured in microseconds.

Shuffling a list of objects

you can either use shuffle or sample . both of which come from random module.

import random
def shuffle(arr1):
    n=len(arr1)
    b=random.sample(arr1,n)
    return b

OR

import random
def shuffle(arr1):
    random.shuffle(arr1)
    return arr1

Why do you need to put #!/bin/bash at the beginning of a script file?

It is called a shebang. It consists of a number sign and an exclamation point character (#!), followed by the full path to the interpreter such as /bin/bash. All scripts under UNIX and Linux execute using the interpreter specified on a first line.

How to get root directory in yii2

Supposing you have a writable "uploads" folder in your application:

You can define a param like this:

Yii::$app->params['uploadPath'] = realpath(Yii::$app->basePath) . '/uploads/';

Then you can simply use the parameter as:

$path1 = Yii::$app->params['uploadPath'] . $filename;

Just depending on if you are using advanced or simple template the base path will be (following the link provided by phazei):

Simple @app: Your application root directory

Advanced @app: Your application root directory (either frontend or backend or console depending on where you access it from)

This way the application will be more portable than using realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../'));

Is there 'byte' data type in C++?

No, there is no type called "byte" in C++. What you want instead is unsigned char (or, if you need exactly 8 bits, uint8_t from <cstdint>, since C++11). Note that char is not necessarily an accurate alternative, as it means signed char on some compilers and unsigned char on others.

How to return value from Action()?

You can use Func<T, TResult> generic delegate. (See MSDN)

Func<MyType, ReturnType> func = (db) => { return new MyType(); }

Also there are useful generic delegates which considers a return value:

  • Converter<TInput, TOutput> (MSDN)
  • Predicate<TInput> - always return bool (MSDN)

Method:

public MyType SimpleUsing.DoUsing<MyType>(Func<TInput, MyType> myTypeFactory)

Generic delegate:

Func<InputArgumentType, MyType> createInstance = db => return new MyType();

Execute:

MyType myTypeInstance = SimpleUsing.DoUsing(
                            createInstance(new InputArgumentType()));

OR explicitly:

MyType myTypeInstance = SimpleUsing.DoUsing(db => return new MyType());

Download a single folder or directory from a GitHub repo

You can try using the gitzip extension for chrome, its super easy to use and has helped me download many folders before too!

Return current date plus 7 days

strtotime will automatically use the current unix timestamp to base your string annotation off of.

Just do:

$date = strtotime("+7 day");
echo date('M d, Y', $date);

Added Info For Future Visitors: If you need to pass a timestamp to the function, the below will work.

This will calculate 7 days from yesterday:

$timestamp = time()-86400;

$date = strtotime("+7 day", $timestamp);
echo date('M d, Y', $date);

How to create a stacked bar chart for my DataFrame using seaborn?

You could use pandas plot as @Bharath suggest:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set()
df.set_index('App').T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True)

Output:

enter image description here

Updated:

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap df.set_index('App')\ .reindex_axis(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\ .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), figsize=(12,6))

Updated Pandas 0.21.0+ reindex_axis is deprecated, use reindex

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap

df.set_index('App')\
  .reindex(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\
  .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True,
          colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), 
          figsize=(12,6))

ITextSharp insert text to an existing pdf

This worked for me and includes using OutputStream:

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("Template.pdf")), null);
    Rectangle size = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1);
    using (Stream outStream = Response.OutputStream)
    {
        Document document = new Document(size);
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, outStream);

        document.Open();
        try
        {
            PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;

            cb.BeginText();
            try
            {
                cb.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(), 12);
                cb.SetTextMatrix(110, 110);
                cb.ShowText("aaa");
            }
            finally
            {
                cb.EndText();
            }

                PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
                cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);

        }
        finally
        {
            document.Close();
            writer.Close();
            reader.Close();
        }
    }

Python: How to check a string for substrings from a list?

Try this test:

any(substring in string for substring in substring_list)

It will return True if any of the substrings in substring_list is contained in string.

Note that there is a Python analogue of Marc Gravell's answer in the linked question:

from itertools import imap
any(imap(string.__contains__, substring_list)) 

In Python 3, you can use map directly instead:

any(map(string.__contains__, substring_list))

Probably the above version using a generator expression is more clear though.

Can "list_display" in a Django ModelAdmin display attributes of ForeignKey fields?

Like the rest, I went with callables too. But they have one downside: by default, you can't order on them. Fortunately, there is a solution for that:

Django >= 1.8

def author(self, obj):
    return obj.book.author
author.admin_order_field  = 'book__author'

Django < 1.8

def author(self):
    return self.book.author
author.admin_order_field  = 'book__author'

jQuery - Detect value change on hidden input field

This example returns the draft field value every time the hidden draft field changes its value (chrome browser):

var h = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="hidden"][name="draft"]')[0];
//or jquery.....
//var h = $('input[type="hidden"][name="draft"]')[0];

observeDOM(h, 'n', function(draftValue){ 
  console.log('dom changed draftValue:'+draftValue);
});


var observeDOM = (function(){
var MutationObserver = window.MutationObserver || 
window.WebKitMutationObserver;

  return function(obj, thistime, callback){
    if(typeof obj === 'undefined'){
      console.log('obj is undefined');
      return;
    }

    if( MutationObserver ){

        // define a new observer
        var obs = new MutationObserver(function(mutations, observer){

            if( mutations[0].addedNodes.length || mutations[0].removedNodes.length ){

               callback('pass other observations back...');

            }else if(mutations[0].attributeName == "value" ){

               // use callback to pass back value of hidden form field                            
               callback( obj.value );

            }

        });

        // have the observer observe obj for changes in children
        // note 'attributes:true' else we can't read the input attribute value
        obs.observe( obj, { childList:true, subtree:true, attributes:true  });

       }
  };
})();

Update one MySQL table with values from another

UPDATE tobeupdated
INNER JOIN original ON (tobeupdated.value = original.value)
SET tobeupdated.id = original.id

That should do it, and really its doing exactly what yours is. However, I prefer 'JOIN' syntax for joins rather than multiple 'WHERE' conditions, I think its easier to read

As for running slow, how large are the tables? You should have indexes on tobeupdated.value and original.value

EDIT: we can also simplify the query

UPDATE tobeupdated
INNER JOIN original USING (value)
SET tobeupdated.id = original.id

USING is shorthand when both tables of a join have an identical named key such as id. ie an equi-join - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL)#Equi-join

VirtualBox Cannot register the hard disk already exists

It's possible to change the UUID on the VDI file using the command:

 VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid <file.vdi>

It seems this command assigns a new "random" UUID to the file. No much documentation on it, though.

Notepad++ incrementally replace

I was looking for the same feature today but couldn't do this in Notepad++. However, we have TextPad to our rescue. It worked for me.

In TextPad's replace dialog, turn on regex; then you could try replacing

<row id="1"/>

by

<row id="\i"/>

Have a look at this link for further amazing replace features of TextPad - http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/106519-generate-a-sequence-of-numbers-increment-replace/

How do you turn a Mongoose document into a plain object?

the fast way if the property is not in the model :

document.set( key,value, { strict: false });

AWK: Access captured group from line pattern

You can simulate capturing in vanilla awk too, without extensions. Its not intuitive though:

step 1. use gensub to surround matches with some character that doesnt appear in your string. step 2. Use split against the character. step 3. Every other element in the splitted array is your capture group.

$ echo 'ab cb ad' | awk '{ split(gensub(/a./,SUBSEP"&"SUBSEP,"g",$0),cap,SUBSEP); print cap[2]"|" cap[4] ; }'
ab|ad

How to insert TIMESTAMP into my MySQL table?

Please try CURRENT_TIME() or now() functions

"INSERT INTO contactinfo (name, email, subject, date, comments)
VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$subject', NOW(), '$comments')"

OR

"INSERT INTO contactinfo (name, email, subject, date, comments)
VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$subject', CURRENT_TIME(), '$comments')"

OR you could try with PHP date function here:

$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

addClass - can add multiple classes on same div?

You can add multiple classes by separating classes names by spaces

$('.page-address-edit').addClass('test1 test2 test3');

Why is the gets function so dangerous that it should not be used?

In C11(ISO/IEC 9899:201x), gets() has been removed. (It's deprecated in ISO/IEC 9899:1999/Cor.3:2007(E))

In addition to fgets(), C11 introduces a new safe alternative gets_s():

C11 K.3.5.4.1 The gets_s function

#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ 1
#include <stdio.h>
char *gets_s(char *s, rsize_t n);

However, in the Recommended practice section, fgets() is still preferred.

The fgets function allows properly-written programs to safely process input lines too long to store in the result array. In general this requires that callers of fgets pay attention to the presence or absence of a new-line character in the result array. Consider using fgets (along with any needed processing based on new-line characters) instead of gets_s.

How to create an empty array in PHP with predefined size?

PHP Arrays don't need to be declared with a size.

An array in PHP is actually an ordered map

You also shouldn't get a warning/notice using code like the example you have shown. The common Notice people get is "Undefined offset" when reading from an array.

A way to counter this is to check with isset or array_key_exists, or to use a function such as:

function isset_or($array, $key, $default = NULL) {
    return isset($array[$key]) ? $array[$key] : $default;
}

So that you can avoid the repeated code.

Note: isset returns false if the element in the array is NULL, but has a performance gain over array_key_exists.

If you want to specify an array with a size for performance reasons, look at:

SplFixedArray in the Standard PHP Library.

CKEditor automatically strips classes from div

if you're using ckeditor 4.x you can try

config.allowedContent = true;

if you're using ckeditor 3.x you may be having this issue.

try putting the following line in config.js

config.ignoreEmptyParagraph = false;

How to convert Set to Array?

Here is an easy way to get only unique raw values from array. If you convert the array to Set and after this, do the conversion from Set to array. This conversion works only for raw values, for objects in the array it is not valid. Try it by yourself.

    let myObj1 = {
        name: "Dany",
        age: 35,
        address: "str. My street N5"
    }

    let myObj2 = {
        name: "Dany",
        age: 35,
        address: "str. My street N5"
    }

    var myArray = [55, 44, 65, myObj1, 44, myObj2, 15, 25, 65, 30];
    console.log(myArray);

    var mySet = new Set(myArray);
    console.log(mySet);

    console.log(mySet.size === myArray.length);// !! The size differs because Set has only unique items

    let uniqueArray = [...mySet];
    console.log(uniqueArray); 
    // Here you will see your new array have only unique elements with raw 
    // values. The objects are not filtered as unique values by Set.
    // Try it by yourself.

Displaying tooltip on mouse hover of a text

You shouldn't use the control private tooltip, but the form one. This example works well:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip toolTip1;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
        this.toolTip1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip(this.components);

        MyRitchTextBox myRTB = new MyRitchTextBox();
        this.Controls.Add(myRTB);

        myRTB.Location = new Point(10, 10);
        myRTB.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(myRTB_MouseEnter);
        myRTB.MouseLeave += new EventHandler(myRTB_MouseLeave);
    }


    void myRTB_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MyRitchTextBox rtb = (sender as MyRitchTextBox);
        if (rtb != null)
        {
            this.toolTip1.Show("Hello!!!", rtb);
        }
    }

    void myRTB_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MyRitchTextBox rtb = (sender as MyRitchTextBox);
        if (rtb != null)
        {
            this.toolTip1.Hide(rtb);
        }
    }


    public class MyRitchTextBox : RichTextBox
    {
    }

}

How to check if a process is running via a batch script

Another possibility I came up with, inspired by using grep, is:

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq myapp.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "myapp.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" echo Program is running

It doesn't need to save an extra file, so I prefer this method.

How to write UPDATE SQL with Table alias in SQL Server 2008?

The syntax for using an alias in an update statement on SQL Server is as follows:

UPDATE Q
SET Q.TITLE = 'TEST'
FROM HOLD_TABLE Q
WHERE Q.ID = 101;

The alias should not be necessary here though.

How to Call Controller Actions using JQuery in ASP.NET MVC

In response to the above post I think it needs this line instead of your line:-

var strMethodUrl = '@Url.Action("SubMenu_Click", "Logging")?param1='+value1+' &param2='+value2

Or else you send the actual strings value1 and value2 to the controller.

However, for me, it only calls the controller once. It seems to hit 'receieveResponse' each time, but a break point on the controller method shows it is only hit 1st time until a page refresh.


Here is a working solution. For the cshtml page:-

   <button type="button" onclick="ButtonClick();"> Call &raquo;</button>

<script>
    function ButtonClick()
    {
        callControllerMethod2("1", "2");
    }
    function callControllerMethod2(value1, value2)
    {
        var response = null;
        $.ajax({
            async: true,
            url: "Logging/SubMenu_Click?param1=" + value1 + " &param2=" + value2,
            cache: false,
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) { receiveResponse(data); }
        });
    }
    function receiveResponse(response)
    {
        if (response != null)
        {
            for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++)
            {
                alert(response[i].Data);
            }
        }
    }
</script>

And for the controller:-

public class A
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Data { get; set; }

}
public JsonResult SubMenu_Click(string param1, string param2)
{
    A[] arr = new A[] {new A(){ Id = "1", Data = DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString() } };
    return Json(arr , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

You can see the time changing each time it is called, so there is no caching of the values...
