Creating virtual directories in IIS express

I had to make the entry in the [project].vs\config\applicationhost.config file.

Prior to this, it worked from deployment but not from code.

Response.Redirect with POST instead of Get?

You can use this aproach:

Response.Clear();

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<html>");
sb.AppendFormat(@"<body onload='document.forms[""form""].submit()'>");
sb.AppendFormat("<form name='form' action='{0}' method='post'>",postbackUrl);
sb.AppendFormat("<input type='hidden' name='id' value='{0}'>", id);
// Other params go here
sb.Append("</form>");
sb.Append("</body>");
sb.Append("</html>");

Response.Write(sb.ToString());

Response.End();

As result right after client will get all html from server the event onload take place that triggers form submit and post all data to defined postbackUrl.

What are all the user accounts for IIS/ASP.NET and how do they differ?

This is a very good question and sadly many developers don't ask enough questions about IIS/ASP.NET security in the context of being a web developer and setting up IIS. So here goes....

To cover the identities listed:

IIS_IUSRS:

This is analogous to the old IIS6 IIS_WPG group. It's a built-in group with it's security configured such that any member of this group can act as an application pool identity.

IUSR:

This account is analogous to the old IUSR_<MACHINE_NAME> local account that was the default anonymous user for IIS5 and IIS6 websites (i.e. the one configured via the Directory Security tab of a site's properties).

For more information about IIS_IUSRS and IUSR see:

Understanding Built-In User and Group Accounts in IIS 7

DefaultAppPool:

If an application pool is configured to run using the Application Pool Identity feature then a "synthesised" account called IIS AppPool\<pool name> will be created on the fly to used as the pool identity. In this case there will be a synthesised account called IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool created for the life time of the pool. If you delete the pool then this account will no longer exist. When applying permissions to files and folders these must be added using IIS AppPool\<pool name>. You also won't see these pool accounts in your computers User Manager. See the following for more information:

Application Pool Identities

ASP.NET v4.0: -

This will be the Application Pool Identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 Application Pool. See DefaultAppPool above.

NETWORK SERVICE: -

The NETWORK SERVICE account is a built-in identity introduced on Windows 2003. NETWORK SERVICE is a low privileged account under which you can run your application pools and websites. A website running in a Windows 2003 pool can still impersonate the site's anonymous account (IUSR_ or whatever you configured as the anonymous identity).

In ASP.NET prior to Windows 2008 you could have ASP.NET execute requests under the Application Pool account (usually NETWORK SERVICE). Alternatively you could configure ASP.NET to impersonate the site's anonymous account via the <identity impersonate="true" /> setting in web.config file locally (if that setting is locked then it would need to be done by an admin in the machine.config file).

Setting <identity impersonate="true"> is common in shared hosting environments where shared application pools are used (in conjunction with partial trust settings to prevent unwinding of the impersonated account).

In IIS7.x/ASP.NET impersonation control is now configured via the Authentication configuration feature of a site. So you can configure to run as the pool identity, IUSR or a specific custom anonymous account.

LOCAL SERVICE:

The LOCAL SERVICE account is a built-in account used by the service control manager. It has a minimum set of privileges on the local computer. It has a fairly limited scope of use:

LocalService Account

LOCAL SYSTEM:

You didn't ask about this one but I'm adding for completeness. This is a local built-in account. It has fairly extensive privileges and trust. You should never configure a website or application pool to run under this identity.

LocalSystem Account

In Practice:

In practice the preferred approach to securing a website (if the site gets its own application pool - which is the default for a new site in IIS7's MMC) is to run under Application Pool Identity. This means setting the site's Identity in its Application Pool's Advanced Settings to Application Pool Identity:

enter image description here

In the website you should then configure the Authentication feature:

enter image description here

Right click and edit the Anonymous Authentication entry:

enter image description here

Ensure that "Application pool identity" is selected:

enter image description here

When you come to apply file and folder permissions you grant the Application Pool identity whatever rights are required. For example if you are granting the application pool identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 pool permissions then you can either do this via Explorer:

enter image description here

Click the "Check Names" button:

enter image description here

Or you can do this using the ICACLS.EXE utility:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\ASP.NET v4.0":(CI)(OI)(M)

...or...if you site's application pool is called BobsCatPicBlogthen:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\BobsCatPicBlog":(CI)(OI)(M)

I hope this helps clear things up.

Update:

I just bumped into this excellent answer from 2009 which contains a bunch of useful information, well worth a read:

The difference between the 'Local System' account and the 'Network Service' account?

Edit a text file on the console using Powershell

You can install nano in powershell via choco - It's a low friction way to get text editing capabilities into powershell:

Install Choco

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Install Nano

choco install nano

Profit

nano myfile.txt

Best part is it becomes part of the path, and stays working across reboots etc :)

Convert binary to ASCII and vice versa

Are you looking for the code to do it or understanding the algorithm?

Does this do what you need? Specifically a2b_uu and b2a_uu? There are LOTS of other options in there in case those aren't what you want.

(NOTE: Not a Python guy but this seemed like an obvious answer)

How to create a cron job using Bash automatically without the interactive editor?

Thanks everybody for your help. Piecing together what I found here and elsewhere I came up with this:

The Code

command="php $INSTALL/indefero/scripts/gitcron.php"
job="0 0 * * 0 $command"
cat <(fgrep -i -v "$command" <(crontab -l)) <(echo "$job") | crontab -

I couldn't figure out how to eliminate the need for the two variables without repeating myself.

command is obviously the command I want to schedule. job takes $command and adds the scheduling data. I needed both variables separately in the line of code that does the work.

Details

Credit to duckyflip, I use this little redirect thingy (<(*command*)) to turn the output of crontab -l into input for the fgrep command.
fgrep then filters out any matches of $command (-v option), case-insensitive (-i option).
Again, the little redirect thingy (<(*command*)) is used to turn the result back into input for the cat command.
The cat command also receives echo "$job" (self explanatory), again, through use of the redirect thingy (<(*command*)).
So the filtered output from crontab -l and the simple echo "$job", combined, are piped ('|') over to crontab - to finally be written.
And they all lived happily ever after!

In a nutshell:

This line of code filters out any cron jobs that match the command, then writes out the remaining cron jobs with the new one, effectively acting like an "add" or "update" function. To use this, all you have to do is swap out the values for the command and job variables.

How do you change the width and height of Twitter Bootstrap's tooltips?

I had the same problem, however all popular answers - to change .tooltip-inner{width} for my task failed to do the job right. As for other (i.e. shorter) tooltips fixed width was too big. I was lazy to write separate html templates/classes for zilions of tooltips, so I just replaced all spaces between words with   in each text line.

Set date input field's max date to today

You will need Javascript to do this:

HTML

<input id="datefield" type='date' min='1899-01-01' max='2000-13-13'></input>

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
 if(dd<10){
        dd='0'+dd
    } 
    if(mm<10){
        mm='0'+mm
    } 

today = yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd;
document.getElementById("datefield").setAttribute("max", today);

JSFiddle demo

Creating a .p12 file

The openssl documentation says that file supplied as the -in argument must be in PEM format.

Turns out that, contrary to the CA's manual, the certificate returned by the CA which I stored in myCert.cer is not PEM format rather it is PKCS7.

In order to create my .p12, I had to first convert the certificate to PEM:

openssl pkcs7 -in myCert.cer -print_certs -out certs.pem

and then execute

openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyStore.p12 -inkey myKey.pem -in certs.pem

How to set upload_max_filesize in .htaccess?

php_value memory_limit 30M
php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M

Use all 3 in .htaccess after everything at last line. php_value post_max_size must be more than than the remaining two.

Return date as ddmmyyyy in SQL Server

I found a way to do it without replacing the slashes

select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 112)

This would return: "YYYYMMDD"

Enum ToString with user friendly strings

I use the Description attribute from the System.ComponentModel namespace. Simply decorate the enum:

private enum PublishStatusValue
{
    [Description("Not Completed")]
    NotCompleted,
    Completed,
    Error
};

Then use this code to retrieve it:

public static string GetDescription<T>(this T enumerationValue)
    where T : struct
{
    Type type = enumerationValue.GetType();
    if (!type.IsEnum)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("EnumerationValue must be of Enum type", "enumerationValue");
    }

    //Tries to find a DescriptionAttribute for a potential friendly name
    //for the enum
    MemberInfo[] memberInfo = type.GetMember(enumerationValue.ToString());
    if (memberInfo != null && memberInfo.Length > 0)
    {
        object[] attrs = memberInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

        if (attrs != null && attrs.Length > 0)
        {
            //Pull out the description value
            return ((DescriptionAttribute)attrs[0]).Description;
        }
    }
    //If we have no description attribute, just return the ToString of the enum
    return enumerationValue.ToString();
}

"The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure." using Gmail SMTP server

Your website folder needs network service security. Especially the web.config. It uses this account to access your registry for the certificates. This will stop the need to add a hack to your code.

What is fastest children() or find() in jQuery?

Those won't necessarily give the same result: find() will get you any descendant node, whereas children() will only get you immediate children that match.

At one point, find() was a lot slower since it had to search for every descendant node that could be a match, and not just immediate children. However, this is no longer true; find() is much quicker due to using native browser methods.

How to display image from URL on Android

Write the code using ASyncTask for http handling.

Bitmap b;
ImageView img;
......
try
    {
        URL url = new URL("http://10.119.120.10:80/img.jpg");
        InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
        b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
    } catch(Exception e){}
......
img.setImageBitmap(b);

Programmatically navigate to another view controller/scene

Swift3:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController("LoginViewController") as UIViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

Try this out. You just confused nib with storyboard representation.

Mixing a PHP variable with a string literal

$bucket = '$node->' . $fieldname . "['und'][0]['value'] = " . '$form_state' . "['values']['" . $fieldname . "']";

print $bucket;

yields:

$node->mindd_2_study_status['und'][0]['value'] = $form_state['values']
['mindd_2_study_status']

How do I rename the android package name?

In addition to @Cristian's answer above, I had to do two more steps to get it working correctly. I will sum all of it here:

Change the package name manually in the manifest file.
Click on your R.java class and the press F6 (Refactor->Move...). It will allow you to move the class to another package, and all references to that class will be updated.
Change manually the application Id in the build.gradle file : android / defaultconfig / application ID [source].
Create a new package with the desired name by right clicking on the java folder -> new -> package and select and drag all your classes to the new package. Android Studio will refactor the package name everywhere [source].

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

You can check in windows services if tomcat is installed it will be listed in windows services.

To check the windows service list of services installed on windows machine use

  WINDOWS KEY + R   and type services.msc

There you can find all the services related with Jasperreport server like Tomcat and MySQL with name starting Jasperreport server Tomcat and MySQL only if these services are installed and its need to be started by selecting the option.Then you can access it through browser using this link :-

   http://localhost:8080

default port for tomcat is 8080.

To get total number of columns in a table in sql

In my situation, I was comparing table schema column count for 2 identical tables in 2 databases; one is the main database and the other is the archival database. I did this (SQL 2012+):

DECLARE @colCount1 INT;
DECLARE @colCount2 INT;

SELECT @colCount1 = COUNT(COLUMN_NAME) FROM MainDB.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'SomeTable';
SELECT @colCount2 = COUNT(COLUMN_NAME) FROM ArchiveDB.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'SomeTable';

IF (@colCount1 != @colCount2) THROW 5000, 'Number of columns in both tables are not equal. The archive schema may need to be updated.', 16;

The important thing to notice here is qualifying the database name before INFORMATION_SCHEMA (which is a schema, like dbo). This will allow the code to break, in case columns were added to the main database and not to the archival database, in which if the procedure were allowed to run, data loss would almost certainly occur.

DELETE ... FROM ... WHERE ... IN

Try adding parentheses around the row in table1 e.g.

DELETE 
  FROM table1
 WHERE (stn, year(datum)) IN (SELECT stn, jaar FROM table2);

The above is Standard SQL-92 code. If that doesn't work, it could be that your SQL product of choice doesn't support it.

Here's another Standard SQL approach that is more widely implemented among vendors e.g. tested on SQL Server 2008:

MERGE INTO table1 AS t1
   USING table2 AS s1
      ON t1.stn = s1.stn
         AND s1.jaar = YEAR(t1.datum)
WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE;

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (Error Number: 233)

For me, adding Trusted_Connection=True to the connection string helped.

JS map return object

Use .map without return in simple way. Also start using let and const instead of var because let and const is more recommended

release Selenium chromedriver.exe from memory

I am using Protractor with directConnect. Disabling the "--no-sandbox" option fixed the issue for me.

How to escape comma and double quote at same time for CSV file?

Thanks to both Tony and Paul for the quick feedback, its very helpful. I actually figure out a solution through POJO. Here it is:

if (cell_value.indexOf("\"") != -1 || cell_value.indexOf(",") != -1) {
    cell_value = cell_value.replaceAll("\"", "\"\"");
    row.append("\"");
    row.append(cell_value);
    row.append("\"");
} else {
    row.append(cell_value);
}

in short if there is special character like comma or double quote within the string in side the cell, then first escape the double quote("\"") by adding additional double quote (like "\"\""), then put the whole thing into a double quote (like "\""+theWholeThing+"\"" )

How to check not in array element

I think everything that you need is array_key_exists:

if (!array_key_exists('id', $access_data['Privilege'])) {
                $this->Session->setFlash(__('Access Denied! You are not eligible to access this.'), 'flash_custom_success');
                return $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'Dashboard', 'action' => 'index'));
            }

How to use mongoose findOne

In my case same error is there , I am using Asyanc / Await functions , for this needs to add AWAIT for findOne

Ex:const foundUser = User.findOne ({ "email" : req.body.email });

above , foundUser always contains Object value in both cases either user found or not because it's returning values before finishing findOne .

const foundUser = await User.findOne ({ "email" : req.body.email });

above , foundUser returns null if user is not there in collection with provided condition . If user found returns user document.

"This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable."... configuration error?

In my case the problem was that one of the queries included in the transaction was raising an exception, and even though the exception was "gracefully" handled, it still managed to roll back the entire transaction.

My pseudo-code was like:

var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction();
for(all the lines in a file)
{
     try{
         InsertLineInTable(); // INSERT statement might fail and throw an exception
     }
     catch {
         // notify the user about the error on line x and continue
     }
}

// Commit and Rollback will fail if one of the queries 
// in InsertLineInTable threw an exception
if(CheckTableForErrors())
{
    transaction.Commit();
}
else
{
    transaction.Rollback();
}

Getting a union of two arrays in JavaScript

jquery - return value using ajax result on success

I saw the answers here and although helpful, they weren't exactly what I wanted since I had to alter a lot of my code.

What worked out for me, was doing something like this:

function isSession(selector) {
    //line added for the var that will have the result
    var result = false;
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '/order.html',
        data: ({ issession : 1, selector: selector }),
        dataType: "html",
        //line added to get ajax response in sync
        async: false,
        success: function(data) {
            //line added to save ajax response in var result
            result = data;
        },
        error: function() {
            alert('Error occured');
        }
    });
    //line added to return ajax response
    return result;
}

How to delete all files from a specific folder?

You can do it via FileInfo or DirectoryInfo:

di.Delete(true);

And then recreate the directory

Why does MSBuild look in C:\ for Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props instead of c:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild? ( error MSB4019)

For Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 on Windows 10

A lot of the answers here apply to older versions of Visual Studio. What worked for me, if using Visual Studio 2017 Community version, was setting an environment variable called VCTargetsPath and giving it a value of

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets

If using Visual Studio 2019 Community version,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160

Other answers here set this variable to c:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\v140 but I noticed in my visual studio installation, there was no folder called Microsoft.Cpp in my MSBuild folder. So keep this in mind as well as the fact that the path above is for the Community version of Visual Studio 2017.

Also, make sure that your MSBuild path in your environment variables points to the correct version of MSBuild if you're using Visual Studio 2017 Community version,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin

If you're using Visual Studio 2019 Community version,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin

Animate the transition between fragments

I have done this way:

Add this method to replace fragments with Animations:

public void replaceFragmentWithAnimation(android.support.v4.app.Fragment fragment, String tag){
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.exit_to_right, R.anim.enter_from_right, R.anim.exit_to_left);
    transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment);
    transaction.addToBackStack(tag);
    transaction.commit();
}

You have to add four animations in anim folder which is associate with resource:

enter_from_left.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false">
    <translate
        android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
        android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
        android:duration="700"/>
</set>

exit_to_right.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false">
    <translate
        android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%"
        android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
        android:duration="700" />
</set>

enter_from_right.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false">
    <translate
        android:fromXDelta="100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
        android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
        android:duration="700" />
</set>

exit_to_left.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false">

        android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
        android:duration="700"/>
</set>

Output:

Its Done.

Rotating and spacing axis labels in ggplot2

ggplot 3.3.0 fixes this by providing guide_axis(angle = 90) (as guide argument to scale_.. or as x argument to guides):

library(ggplot2)
data(diamonds)
diamonds$cut <- paste("Super Dee-Duper", as.character(diamonds$cut))

ggplot(diamonds, aes(cut, carat)) +
  geom_boxplot() +
  scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(angle = 90)) +
  # ... or, equivalently:
  # guides(x =  guide_axis(angle = 90)) +
  NULL

From the documentation of the angle argument:

Compared to setting the angle in theme() / element_text(), this also uses some heuristics to automatically pick the hjust and vjust that you probably want.

Alternatively, it also provides guide_axis(n.dodge = 2) (as guide argument to scale_.. or as x argument to guides) to overcome the over-plotting problem by dodging the labels vertically. It works quite well in this case:

library(ggplot2)
data(diamonds)
diamonds$cut <- paste("Super Dee-Duper",as.character(diamonds$cut))

ggplot(diamonds, aes(cut, carat)) + 
  geom_boxplot() +
  scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(n.dodge = 2)) +
  NULL

Installing Java on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

If you only want to install the latest official JRE from Oracle, you can get it there, install it, and export the new JAVA_HOME in the terminal.

Open your Terminal
java -version gives you an error and a popup
Get the JRE dmg on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Install it
In your terminal, type: export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"
java -version now gives you java version "1.7.0_45"

That's the cleanest way I found to install the latest JRE.

You can add the export JAVA_HOME line in your .bashrc to have java permanently in your Terminal:

echo export JAVA_HOME=\"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home\" >> ~/.bashrc

Checking if jquery is loaded using Javascript

If jQuery is loading asynchronously, you can wait till it is defined, checking for it every period of time:

(function() {
    var a = setInterval( function() {
        if ( typeof window.jQuery === 'undefined' ) {
            return;
        }
        clearInterval( a );

        console.log( 'jQuery is loaded' ); // call your function with jQuery instead of this
    }, 500 );
})();

This method can be used for any variable, you are waiting to appear.

How to increase IDE memory limit in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac?

On my machine this only works in bin/idea.vmoptions, adding the setting in ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea12/idea.vmoptions causes the IDEA to hang during startup.

How to generate all permutations of a list?

The following code with Python 2.6 and above ONLY

First, import itertools:

import itertools

Permutation (order matters):

print list(itertools.permutations([1,2,3,4], 2))
[(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4),
(2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 4),
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4),
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3)]

Combination (order does NOT matter):

print list(itertools.combinations('123', 2))
[('1', '2'), ('1', '3'), ('2', '3')]

Cartesian product (with several iterables):

print list(itertools.product([1,2,3], [4,5,6]))
[(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
(2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
(3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)]

Cartesian product (with one iterable and itself):

print list(itertools.product([1,2], repeat=3))
[(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2),
(2, 1, 1), (2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1), (2, 2, 2)]

Clearing input in vuejs form

This solution is only for components

If we toggle(show/hide) components using booleans then data is also removed. No need to clean the form fields.

I usually make components and initialize them using booleans. e.g.

<template>
    <button @click="show_create_form = true">Add New Record</button
    <create-form v-if="show_create_form" />
</template>


<script>
...
data(){
   return{
       show_create_form:false //making it false by default
   }
},
methods:{
    submitForm(){
      //...
      this.axios.post('/submit-form-url',data,config)
           .then((response) => {
               this.show_create_form= false; //hide it again after success.
               //if you now click on add new record button then it will show you empty form
           }).catch((error) => {
              //
           })
    }
}
...
</script>

When use clicks on edit button then this boolean becomes true and after successful submit I change it to false again.

Dealing with timestamps in R

You want the (standard) POSIXt type from base R that can be had in 'compact form' as a POSIXct (which is essentially a double representing fractional seconds since the epoch) or as long form in POSIXlt (which contains sub-elements). The cool thing is that arithmetic etc are defined on this -- see help(DateTimeClasses)

Quick example:

R> now <- Sys.time()
R> now
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:11 CST"
R> as.numeric(now)
[1] 1.262e+09
R> now + 10  # adds 10 seconds
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:21 CST"
R> as.POSIXlt(now)
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:11 CST"
R> str(as.POSIXlt(now))
 POSIXlt[1:9], format: "2009-12-25 18:39:11"
R> unclass(as.POSIXlt(now))
$sec
[1] 11.79

$min
[1] 39

$hour
[1] 18

$mday
[1] 25

$mon
[1] 11

$year
[1] 109

$wday
[1] 5

$yday
[1] 358

$isdst
[1] 0

attr(,"tzone")
[1] "America/Chicago" "CST"             "CDT"            
R>

As for reading them in, see help(strptime)

As for difference, easy too:

R> Jan1 <- strptime("2009-01-01 00:00:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
R> difftime(now, Jan1, unit="week")
Time difference of 51.25 weeks
R>

Lastly, the zoo package is an extremely versatile and well-documented container for matrix with associated date/time indices.

What are the minimum margins most printers can handle?

As a general rule of thumb, I use 1 cm margins when producing pdfs. I work in the geospatial industry and produce pdf maps that reference a specific geographic scale. Therefore, I do not have the option to 'fit document to printable area,' because this would make the reference scale inaccurate. You must also realize that when you fit to printable area, you are fitting your already existing margins inside the printer margins, so you end up with double margins. Make your margins the right size and your documents will print perfectly. Many modern printers can print with margins less than 3 mm, so 1 cm as a general rule should be sufficient. However, if it is a high profile job, get the specs of the printer you will be printing with and ensure that your margins are adequate. All you need is the brand and model number and you can find spec sheets through a google search.

Error in <my code> : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

In general this error message means that you have tried to use indexing on a function. You can reproduce this error message with, for example

mean[1]
## Error in mean[1] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
mean[[1]]
## Error in mean[[1]] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
mean$a
## Error in mean$a : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

The closure mentioned in the error message is (loosely) the function and the environment that stores the variables when the function is called.

In this specific case, as Joshua mentioned, you are trying to access the url function as a variable. If you define a variable named url, then the error goes away.

As a matter of good practise, you should usually avoid naming variables after base-R functions. (Calling variables data is a common source of this error.)

There are several related errors for trying to subset operators or keywords.

`+`[1]
## Error in `+`[1] : object of type 'builtin' is not subsettable
`if`[1]
## Error in `if`[1] : object of type 'special' is not subsettable

If you're running into this problem in shiny, the most likely cause is that you're trying to work with a reactive expression without calling it as a function using parentheses.

library(shiny)
reactive_df <- reactive({
    data.frame(col1 = c(1,2,3),
               col2 = c(4,5,6))
})

While we often work with reactive expressions in shiny as if they were data frames, they are actually functions that return data frames (or other objects).

isolate({
    print(reactive_df())
    print(reactive_df()$col1)
})
  col1 col2
1    1    4
2    2    5
3    3    6
[1] 1 2 3

But if we try to subset it without parentheses, then we're actually trying to index a function, and we get an error:

isolate(
    reactive_df$col1
)
Error in reactive_df$col1 : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

How do I call a specific Java method on a click/submit event of a specific button in JSP?

<form method="post" action="servletName">   
     <input type="submit" id="btn1" name="btn1"/>

For ease of copying here's one-liner

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk && export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools && export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

To add Permanently

Follow these steps:

Open the .bash_profile file in your home directory (for example, /Users/your-user-name/.bash_profile) in a text editor.
Add export PATH="The above exports here" to the last line of the file, where your-dir is the directory you want to add.
Save the .bash_profile file.
Restart your terminal

Adding to bash process for different systems

Android Imagebutton change Image OnClick

This misled me a bit - it should be setImageResource instead of setBackgroundResource :) !!

The following works fine :

ImageButton btn = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);       
 btn.setImageResource(R.drawable.actions_record);

while when using the setBackgroundResource the actual imagebutton's image stays while the background image is changed which leads to a ugly looking imageButton object

Thanks.

Better way to Format Currency Input editText?

Remove spacing between table cells and rows

Hi as @andrew mentioned make cellpadding = 0, you still might have some space as you are using table border=1.

Key value pairs using JSON

JSON (= JavaScript Object Notation), is a lightweight and fast mechanism to convert Javascript objects into a string and vice versa.

Since Javascripts objects consists of key/value pairs its very easy to use and access JSON that way.

So if we have an object:

var myObj = {
    foo:   'bar',
    base:  'ball',
    deep:  {
       java:  'script'
    }
};

We can convert that into a string by calling window.JSON.stringify(myObj); with the result of "{"foo":"bar","base":"ball","deep":{"java":"script"}}".

The other way around, we would call window.JSON.parse("a json string like the above");.

JSON.parse() returns a javascript object/array on success.

alert(myObj.deep.java);  // 'script'

window.JSON is not natively available in all browser. Some "older" browser need a little javascript plugin which offers the above mentioned functionality. Check http://www.json.org for further information.

How do I install cygwin components from the command line?

Cygwin's setup accepts command-line arguments to install packages from the command-line.

e.g. setup-x86.exe -q -P packagename1,packagename2 to install packages without any GUI interaction ('unattended setup mode').

(Note that you need to use setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe as appropriate.)

See http://cygwin.com/packages/ for the package list.

Exclude subpackages from Spring autowiring?

I'm not sure you can exclude packages explicitly with an <exclude-filter>, but I bet using a regex filter would effectively get you there:

 <context:component-scan base-package="com.example">
    <context:exclude-filter type="regex" expression="com\.example\.ignore\..*"/>
 </context:component-scan>

To make it annotation-based, you'd annotate each class you wanted excluded for integration tests with something like @com.example.annotation.ExcludedFromITests. Then the component-scan would look like:

 <context:component-scan base-package="com.example">
    <context:exclude-filter type="annotation" expression="com.example.annotation.ExcludedFromITests"/>
 </context:component-scan>

That's clearer because now you've documented in the source code itself that the class is not intended to be included in an application context for integration tests.

How to add image to canvas

In my case, I was mistaken the function parameters, which are:

context.drawImage(image, left, top);
context.drawImage(image, left, top, width, height);

If you expect them to be

context.drawImage(image, width, height);

you will place the image just outside the canvas with the same effects as described in the question.

Testing if a site is vulnerable to Sql Injection

Any input from a client are ways to be vulnerable. Including all forms and the query string. This includes all HTTP verbs.

There are 3rd party solutions that can crawl an application and detect when an injection could happen.

open the file upload dialogue box onclick the image

Also, You can write all inline, direct at html code:

<input type="file" id="imgupload">
<a href="#" onclick="$('#imgupload').trigger('click'); return false;">Upload file</a>

return false; - will be useful to decline anchor action after link was clicked.

Align DIV to bottom of the page

Try position:fixed; bottom:0;. This will make your div to stay fixed at the bottom.

WORKING DEMO

The HTML:

<div id="bottom-stuff">
  <div id="search"> MY DIV </div>
</div>
<div id="bottom"> MY DIV </div>

The CSS:

#bottom-stuff {

    position: relative;
}

#bottom{

    position: fixed; 
    background:gray; 
    width:100%;
    bottom:0;
}

#search{height:5000px; overflow-y:scroll;}

Hope this helps.

What is meant by immutable?

Once instanciated, cannot be altered. Consider a class that an instance of might be used as the key for a hashtable or similar. Check out Java best practices.

PHP call Class method / function

Within the class you can call function by using :

 $this->filter();

Outside of the class

you have to create an object of a class

 ex: $obj = new Functions();

     $obj->filter($param);

for more about OOPs in php

this example:

class test {
 public function newTest(){
      $this->bigTest();// we don't need to create an object we can call simply using $this
      $this->smallTest();
 }

 private function bigTest(){
      //Big Test Here
 }

 private function smallTest(){
      //Small Test Here
 }

 public function scoreTest(){
      //Scoring code here;
 }
}

$testObject = new test();

$testObject->newTest();

$testObject->scoreTest();

hope it will help!

How to load Spring Application Context

Add this at the start of main

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("path/to/applicationContext.xml");

JobLauncher launcher=(JobLauncher)context.getBean("launcher");
Job job=(Job)context.getBean("job");

//Get as many beans you want
//Now do the thing you were doing inside test method
StopWatch sw = new StopWatch();
sw.start();
launcher.run(job, jobParameters);
sw.stop();
//initialize the log same way inside main
logger.info(">>> TIME ELAPSED:" + sw.prettyPrint());

How do I increase the contrast of an image in Python OpenCV

For Python, I haven't found an OpenCV function that provides contrast. As others have suggested, there are some techniques to automatically increase contrast using a very simple formula.

In the official OpenCV docs, it is suggested that this equation can be used to apply both contrast and brightness at the same time:

new_img = alpha*old_img + beta

where alpha corresponds to a contrast and beta is brightness. Different cases

alpha 1  beta 0      --> no change  
0 < alpha < 1        --> lower contrast  
alpha > 1            --> higher contrast  
-127 < beta < +127   --> good range for brightness values

In C/C++, you can implement this equation using cv::Mat::convertTo, but we don't have access to that part of the library from Python. To do it in Python, I would recommend using the cv::addWeighted function, because it is quick and it automatically forces the output to be in the range 0 to 255 (e.g. for a 24 bit color image, 8 bits per channel). You could also use convertScaleAbs as suggested by @nathancy.

import cv2
img = cv2.imread('input.png')
# call addWeighted function. use beta = 0 to effectively only operate one one image
out = cv2.addWeighted( img, contrast, img, 0, brightness)
output = cv2.addWeighted

The above formula and code is quick to write and will make changes to brightness and contrast. But they yield results that are significantly different than photo editing programs. The rest of this answer will yield a result that will reproduce the behavior in the GIMP and also LibreOffice brightness and contrast. It's more lines of code, but it gives a nice result.

Contrast

In the GIMP, contrast levels go from -127 to +127. I adapted the formulas from here to fit in that range.

f = 131*(contrast + 127)/(127*(131-contrast))
new_image = f*(old_image - 127) + 127 = f*(old_image) + 127*(1-f)

To figure out brightness, I figured out the relationship between brightness and levels and used information in this levels post to arrive at a solution.

#pseudo code
if brightness > 0
    shadow = brightness
    highlight = 255
else:
    shadow = 0
    highlight = 255 + brightness
new_img = ((highlight - shadow)/255)*old_img + shadow

brightness and contrast in Python and OpenCV

Putting it all together and adding using the reference "mandrill" image from USC SIPI:

import cv2
import numpy as np

# Open a typical 24 bit color image. For this kind of image there are
# 8 bits (0 to 255) per color channel
img = cv2.imread('mandrill.png')  # mandrill reference image from USC SIPI

s = 128
img = cv2.resize(img, (s,s), 0, 0, cv2.INTER_AREA)

def apply_brightness_contrast(input_img, brightness = 0, contrast = 0):
    
    if brightness != 0:
        if brightness > 0:
            shadow = brightness
            highlight = 255
        else:
            shadow = 0
            highlight = 255 + brightness
        alpha_b = (highlight - shadow)/255
        gamma_b = shadow
        
        buf = cv2.addWeighted(input_img, alpha_b, input_img, 0, gamma_b)
    else:
        buf = input_img.copy()
    
    if contrast != 0:
        f = 131*(contrast + 127)/(127*(131-contrast))
        alpha_c = f
        gamma_c = 127*(1-f)
        
        buf = cv2.addWeighted(buf, alpha_c, buf, 0, gamma_c)

    return buf


font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX
fcolor = (0,0,0)

blist = [0, -127, 127,   0,  0, 64] # list of brightness values
clist = [0,    0,   0, -64, 64, 64] # list of contrast values


out = np.zeros((s*2, s*3, 3), dtype = np.uint8)

for i, b in enumerate(blist):
    c = clist[i]
    print('b, c:  ', b,', ',c)
    row = s*int(i/3)
    col = s*(i%3)
    
    print('row, col:   ', row, ', ', col)
    
    out[row:row+s, col:col+s] = apply_brightness_contrast(img, b, c)
    msg = 'b %d' % b
    cv2.putText(out,msg,(col,row+s-22), font, .7, fcolor,1,cv2.LINE_AA)
    msg = 'c %d' % c
    cv2.putText(out,msg,(col,row+s-4), font, .7, fcolor,1,cv2.LINE_AA)
    
    cv2.putText(out, 'OpenCV',(260,30), font, 1.0, fcolor,2,cv2.LINE_AA)

cv2.imwrite('out.png', out)

I manually processed the images in the GIMP and added text tags in Python/OpenCV:

Note: @UtkarshBhardwaj has suggested that Python 2.x users must cast the contrast correction calculation code into float for getting floating result, like so:

...
if contrast != 0:
        f = float(131*(contrast + 127))/(127*(131-contrast))
...

How to keep :active css style after click a button

In the Divi Theme Documentation, it says that the theme comes with access to 'ePanel' which also has an 'Integration' section.

You should be able to add this code:

<script>
 $( ".et-pb-icon" ).click(function() {
 $( this ).toggleClass( "active" );
 });
</script>

into the the box that says 'Add code to the head of your blog' under the 'Integration' tab, which should get the jQuery working.

Then, you should be able to style your class to what ever you need.

How to convert PDF files to images

I used PDFiumSharp and ImageSharp in a .NET Standard 2.1 class library.

/// <summary>
/// Saves a thumbnail (jpg) to the same folder as the PDF file, using dimensions 300x423,
/// which corresponds to the aspect ratio of 'A' paper sizes like A4 (ratio h/w=sqrt(2))
/// </summary>
/// <param name="pdfPath">Source path of the pdf file.</param>
/// <param name="thumbnailPath">Target path of the thumbnail file.</param>
/// <param name="width"></param>
/// <param name="height"></param>
public static void SaveThumbnail(string pdfPath, string thumbnailPath = "", int width = 300, int height = 423)
{
    using var pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(pdfPath);
    var firstPage = pdfDocument.Pages[0];

    using var pageBitmap = new PDFiumBitmap(width, height, true);

    firstPage.Render(pageBitmap);

    var imageJpgPath = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(thumbnailPath)
        ? Path.ChangeExtension(pdfPath, "jpg")
        : thumbnailPath;
    var image = Image.Load(pageBitmap.AsBmpStream());

    // Set the background to white, otherwise it's black. https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/issues/355#issuecomment-333133991
    image.Mutate(x => x.BackgroundColor(Rgba32.White));

    image.Save(imageJpgPath, new JpegEncoder());
}

Reading from text file until EOF repeats last line

int x;
ifile >> x

while (!iFile.eof())
{  
    cerr << x << endl;        
    iFile >> x;      
}

Using command line arguments in VBscript

Set args = Wscript.Arguments

For Each arg In args
  Wscript.Echo arg
Next

From a command prompt, run the script like this:

CSCRIPT MyScript.vbs 1 2 A B "Arg with spaces"

Will give results like this:

1
2
A
B
Arg with spaces

Can someone post a well formed crossdomain.xml sample?

This is what I've been using for development:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

This is a very liberal approach, but is fine for my application.

As others have pointed out below, beware the risks of this.

How to run PowerShell in CMD

I'd like to add the following to Shay Levy's correct answer: You can make your life easier if you create a little batch script run.cmd to launch your powershell script:

@echo off & setlocal
set batchPath=%~dp0
powershell.exe -noexit -file "%batchPath%SQLExecutor.ps1" "MY-PC"

Put it in the same path as SQLExecutor.ps1 and from now on you can run it by simply double-clicking on run.cmd.

Note:

If you require command line arguments inside the run.cmd batch, simply pass them as %1 ... %9 (or use %* to pass all parameters) to the powershell script, i.e.
powershell.exe -noexit -file "%batchPath%SQLExecutor.ps1" %*
The variable batchPath contains the executing path of the batch file itself (this is what the expression %~dp0 is used for). So you just put the powershell script in the same path as the calling batch file.

Call ASP.NET function from JavaScript?

I think blog post How to fetch & show SQL Server database data in ASP.NET page using Ajax (jQuery) will help you.

OPTION (RECOMPILE) is Always Faster; Why?

Necroing this question but there's an explanation that no-one seems to have considered.

STATISTICS - Statistics are not available or misleading

If all of the following are true:

The columns feedid and feedDate are likely to be highly correlated (e.g. a feed id is more specific than a feed date and the date parameter is redundant information).
There is no index with both columns as sequential columns.
There are no manually created statistics covering both these columns.

Then sql server may be incorrectly assuming that the columns are uncorrelated, leading to lower than expected cardinality estimates for applying both restrictions and a poor execution plan being selected. The fix in this case would be to create a statistics object linking the two columns, which is not an expensive operation.

How to overwrite the output directory in spark

since df.save(path, source, mode) is deprecated, (http://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.0/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame)

use df.write.format(source).mode("overwrite").save(path)
where df.write is DataFrameWriter

'source' can be ("com.databricks.spark.avro" | "parquet" | "json")

How should I copy Strings in Java?

Since strings are immutable, both versions are safe. The latter, however, is less efficient (it creates an extra object and in some cases copies the character data).

With this in mind, the first version should be preferred.

Get google map link with latitude/longitude

The suggested answer no longer works after 2014. Now you have to use Google Maps Embed API for loading into iframe.

Here is the link for the question and solution.

If you are using Angular like me you won't be able to load the google maps in iframe because of XSS security issue. For that you need to sanitise the URL with Pipe from angular.

Here is the link to do so.

All the suggestions are tested and works 100% as of today.

Easy way to dismiss keyboard?

Update

I found another simple way

simply declare a property :-

@property( strong , nonatomic) UITextfield *currentTextfield;

and a Tap Gesture Gecognizer:-

@property (strong , nonatomic) UITapGestureRecognizer *resignTextField;

In ViewDidLoad

_currentTextfield=[[UITextField alloc]init];
_resignTextField=[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:@selector(tapMethod:)];

[self.view addGestureRecognizer:_resignTextField];

Implement the textfield delegate method didBeginEditing

 -(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{


      _currentTextfield=textField;

    }

Implement Your Tap Gesture Method (_resignTextField)

 -(void)tapMethod:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)Gesture{

     [_currentTextfield resignFirstResponder];

 }

Confused by python file mode "w+"

The file is truncated, so you can call read() (no exceptions raised, unlike when opened using 'w') but you'll get an empty string.

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block

You are catching the error but then you are re throwing it. You should try and handle it more gracefully, otherwise your user is going to see 500, internal server, errors.

You may want to send back a response telling the user what went wrong as well as logging the error on your server.

I am not sure exactly what errors the request might return, you may want to return something like.

router.get("/emailfetch", authCheck, async (req, res) => {
  try {
    let emailFetch = await gmaiLHelper.getEmails(req.user._doc.profile_id , '/messages', req.user.accessToken)
      emailFetch = emailFetch.data
      res.send(emailFetch)
   } catch(error) {
      res.status(error.response.status)
      return res.send(error.message);
    })

})

This code will need to be adapted to match the errors that you get from the axios call.

I have also converted the code to use the try and catch syntax since you are already using async.

Invalid default value for 'create_date' timestamp field

I had a similar issue with MySQL 5.7 with the following code:

Usage of sys.stdout.flush() method

Python's standard out is buffered (meaning that it collects some of the data "written" to standard out before it writes it to the terminal). Calling sys.stdout.flush() forces it to "flush" the buffer, meaning that it will write everything in the buffer to the terminal, even if normally it would wait before doing so.

Here's some good information about (un)buffered I/O and why it's useful:

How to Query an NTP Server using C#?

This is a optimized version of the function which removes dependency on BitConverter function and makes it compatible with NETMF (.NET Micro Framework)

public static DateTime GetNetworkTime()
{
    const string ntpServer = "pool.ntp.org";
    var ntpData = new byte[48];
    ntpData[0] = 0x1B; //LeapIndicator = 0 (no warning), VersionNum = 3 (IPv4 only), Mode = 3 (Client Mode)

    var addresses = Dns.GetHostEntry(ntpServer).AddressList;
    var ipEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(addresses[0], 123);
    var socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);

    socket.Connect(ipEndPoint);
    socket.Send(ntpData);
    socket.Receive(ntpData);
    socket.Close();

    ulong intPart = (ulong)ntpData[40] << 24 | (ulong)ntpData[41] << 16 | (ulong)ntpData[42] << 8 | (ulong)ntpData[43];
    ulong fractPart = (ulong)ntpData[44] << 24 | (ulong)ntpData[45] << 16 | (ulong)ntpData[46] << 8 | (ulong)ntpData[47];

    var milliseconds = (intPart * 1000) + ((fractPart * 1000) / 0x100000000L);
    var networkDateTime = (new DateTime(1900, 1, 1)).AddMilliseconds((long)milliseconds);

    return networkDateTime;
}

How to trigger an event after using event.preventDefault()

The accepted solution wont work in case you are working with an anchor tag. In this case you wont be able to click the link again after calling e.preventDefault(). Thats because the click event generated by jQuery is just layer on top of native browser events. So triggering a 'click' event on an anchor tag wont follow the link. Instead you could use a library like jquery-simulate that will allow you to launch native browser events.

How to add a primary key to a MySQL table?

Not sure if this matters to anyone else, but I prefer the id for the table to be the first column in the database. The syntax for that is:

ALTER TABLE your_db.your_table ADD COLUMN `id` int(10) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST;

Which is just a slight improvement over the first answer. If you wanted it to be in a different position, then

ALTER TABLE unique_address ADD COLUMN `id` int(10) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT AFTER some_other_column;

How to do a num_rows() on COUNT query in codeigniter?

$query->num_rows()

The number of rows returned by the query. Note: In this example, $query is the variable that the query result object is assigned to:

$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table');

echo $query->num_rows();

add id to dynamically created <div>

Use Jquery for append the value for creating dynamically

eg:

var user_image1='<img src="{@user_image}" class="img-thumbnail" alt="Thumbnail Image" 
style="width:125px; height:125px">';

$("#userphoto").append(user_image1.replace("{@user_image}","http://127.0.0.1:50075/webhdfs/v1/PATH/"+user_image+"?op=OPEN"));

HTML :

<div id="userphoto">

How to convert Integer to int?

Since you say you're using Java 5, you can use setInt with an Integer due to autounboxing: pstmt.setInt(1, tempID) should work just fine. In earlier versions of Java, you would have had to call .intValue() yourself.

The opposite works as well... assigning an int to an Integer will automatically cause the int to be autoboxed using Integer.valueOf(int).

Multi column forms with fieldsets

I disagree that .form-group should be within .col-*-n elements. In my experience, all the appropriate padding happens automatically when you use .form-group like .row within a form.

<div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-sm-12">
        <label for="user_login">Username</label>
        <input class="form-control" id="user_login" name="user[login]" required="true" size="30" type="text" />
    </div>
</div>

Check out this demo.

Altering the demo slightly by adding .form-horizontal to the form tag changes some of that padding.

<form action="#" method="post" class="form-horizontal">

Check out this demo.

When in doubt, inspect in Chrome or use Firebug in Firefox to figure out things like padding and margins. Using .row within the form fails in edsioufi's fiddle because .row uses negative left and right margins thereby drawing the horizontal bounds of the divs classed .row beyond the bounds of the containing fieldsets.

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

Hibernate has a built-in "yes_no" type that would do what you want. It maps to a CHAR(1) column in the database.

Basic mapping: <property name="some_flag" type="yes_no"/>

Annotation mapping (Hibernate extensions):

@Type(type="yes_no")
public boolean getFlag();

Bootstrap 3: Using img-circle, how to get circle from non-square image?

You stated you want circular crops from recangles. This may not be able to be done with the 3 popular bootstrap classes (img-rounded; img-circle; img-polaroid)

You may want to write a custom CSS class using border-radius where you have more control. If you want it more circular just increase the radius.

_x000D_

.CattoBorderRadius_x000D_
{_x000D_
    border-radius: 25px;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<img class="img-responsive CattoBorderRadius" src="http://placekitten.com/g/200/200" />

_x000D_

Fiddle URL: http://jsfiddle.net/ccatto/LyxEb/

I know this may not be the perfect radius but I think your answer will use a custom css class. Hope this helps.

What represents a double in sql server?

float

Or if you want to go old-school:

real

You can also use float(53), but it means the same thing as float.

("real" is equivalent to float(24), not float/float(53).)

The decimal(x,y) SQL Server type is for when you want exact decimal numbers rather than floating point (which can be approximations). This is in contrast to the C# "decimal" data type, which is more like a 128-bit floating point number.

MSSQL's float type is equivalent to the 64-bit double type in .NET. (My original answer from 2011 said there could be a slight difference in mantissa, but I've tested this in 2020 and they appear to be 100% compatible in their binary representation of both very small and very large numbers -- see https://dotnetfiddle.net/wLX5Ox for my test).

To make things more confusing, a "float" in C# is only 32-bit, so it would be more equivalent in SQL to the real/float(24) type in MSSQL than float/float(53).

In your specific use case... All you need is 5 places after the decimal point to represent latitude and longitude within about one-meter precision, and you only need up to three digits before the decimal point for the degrees. Float(24) or decimal(8,5) will best fit your needs in MSSQL, and using float in C# is good enough, you don't need double. In fact, your users will probably thank you for rounding to 5 decimal places rather than having a bunch of insignificant digits coming along for the ride.

Postgres user does not exist?

OS X tends to prefix the system account names with "_"; you don't say what version of OS X you're using, but at least in 10.8 and 10.9 the _postgres user exists in a default install. Note that you won't be able to su to this account (except as root), since it doesn't have a password. sudo -u _postgres, on the other hand, should work fine.

Passing the argument to CMAKE via command prompt

In the CMakeLists.txt file, create a cache variable, as documented here:

SET(FAB "po" CACHE STRING "Some user-specified option")

Source: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#command:set

Then, either use the GUI (ccmake or cmake-gui) to set the cache variable, or specify the value of the variable on the cmake command line:

cmake -DFAB:STRING=po

Source: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#opt:-Dvar:typevalue

Modify your cache variable to a boolean if, in fact, your option is boolean.

Please, note that I had to change STR_TO_DATE(column, '%d/%m/%Y') from previous solutions, as it was taking ages to load

How to delete only the content of file in python

I think the easiest is to simply open the file in write mode and then close it. For example, if your file myfile.dat contains:

"This is the original content"

Then you can simply write:

f = open('myfile.dat', 'w')
f.close()

This would erase all the content. Then you can write the new content to the file:

f = open('myfile.dat', 'w')
f.write('This is the new content!')
f.close()

how to POST/Submit an Input Checkbox that is disabled?

<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" onclick="this.checked=true" />

I started from the problem: "how to POST/Submit an Input Checkbox that is disabled?" and in my answer I skipped the comment: "If we want to disable a checkbox we surely need to keep a prefixed value (checked or unchecked) and also we want that the user be aware of it (otherwise we should use a hidden type and not a checkbox)". In my answer I supposed that we want to keep always a checkbox checked and that code works in this way. If we click on that ckeckbox it will be forever checked and its value will be POSTED/Submitted! In the same way if I write onclick="this.checked=false" without checked="checked" (note: default is unchecked) it will be forever unchecked and its value will be not POSTED/Submitted!.

What is the correct syntax of ng-include?

For those trouble shooting, it is important to know that ng-include requires the url path to be from the app root directory and not from the same directory where the partial.html lives. (whereas partial.html is the view file that the inline ng-include markup tag can be found).

For example:

Correct: div ng-include src=" '/views/partials/tabSlides/add-more.html' ">

Incorrect: div ng-include src=" 'add-more.html' ">

Unit testing click event in Angular

I had a similar problem (detailed explanation below), and I solved it (in jasmine-core: 2.52) by using the tick function with the same (or greater) amount of milliseconds as in original setTimeout call.

For example, if I had a setTimeout(() => {...}, 2500); (so it will trigger after 2500 ms), I would call tick(2500), and that would solve the problem.

What I had in my component, as a reaction on a Delete button click:

delete() {
    this.myService.delete(this.id)
      .subscribe(
        response => {
          this.message = 'Successfully deleted! Redirecting...';
          setTimeout(() => {
            this.router.navigate(['/home']);
          }, 2500); // I wait for 2.5 seconds before redirect
        });
  }

Her is my working test:

it('should delete the entity', fakeAsync(() => {
    component.id = 1; // preparations..
    component.getEntity(); // this one loads up the entity to my component
    tick(); // make sure that everything that is async is resolved/completed
    expect(myService.getMyThing).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1);
    // more expects here..
    fixture.detectChanges();
    tick();
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const deleteButton = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('.btn-danger')).nativeElement;
    deleteButton.click(); // I've clicked the button, and now the delete function is called...

    tick(2501); // timeout for redirect is 2500 ms :)  <-- solution

    expect(myService.delete).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1);
    // more expects here..
  }));

P.S. Great explanation on fakeAsync and general asyncs in testing can be found here: a video on Testing strategies with Angular 2 - Julie Ralph, starting from 8:10, lasting 4 minutes :)

Pipe subprocess standard output to a variable

With a = subprocess.Popen("cdrecord --help",stdout = subprocess.PIPE), you need to either use a list or use shell=True;

Either of these will work. The former is preferable.

a = subprocess.Popen(['cdrecord', '--help'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

a = subprocess.Popen('cdrecord --help', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

Also, instead of using Popen.stdout.read/Popen.stderr.read, you should use .communicate() (refer to the subprocess documentation for why).

proc = subprocess.Popen(['cdrecord', '--help'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()

What's the best mock framework for Java?

I started using mocks with EasyMock. Easy enough to understand, but the replay step was kinda annoying. Mockito removes this, also has a cleaner syntax as it looks like readability was one of its primary goals. I cannot stress enough how important this is, since most of developers will spend their time reading and maintaining existing code, not creating it.

Another nice thing is that interfaces and implementation classes are handled in the same way, unlike in EasyMock where still you need to remember (and check) to use an EasyMock Class Extension.

I've taken a quick look at JMockit recently, and while the laundry list of features is pretty comprehensive, I think the price of this is legibility of resulting code, and having to write more.

For me, Mockito hits the sweet spot, being easy to write and read, and dealing with majority of the situations most code will require. Using Mockito with PowerMock would be my choice.

One thing to consider is that the tool you would choose if you were developing by yourself, or in a small tight-knit team, might not be the best to get for a large company with developers of varying skill levels. Readability, ease of use and simplicity would need more consideration in the latter case. No sense in getting the ultimate mocking framework if a lot of people end up not using it or not maintaining the tests.

How can I use LEFT & RIGHT Functions in SQL to get last 3 characters?

select right(rtrim('94342KMR'),3)

This will fetch the last 3 right string.

select substring(rtrim('94342KMR'),1,len('94342KMR')-3)

This will fetch the remaining Characters.

How to obtain image size using standard Python class (without using external library)?

Here's a way to get dimensions of a png file without needing a third-party module. From http://coreygoldberg.blogspot.com/2013/01/python-verify-png-file-and-get-image.html

import struct

def get_image_info(data):
    if is_png(data):
        w, h = struct.unpack('>LL', data[16:24])
        width = int(w)
        height = int(h)
    else:
        raise Exception('not a png image')
    return width, height

def is_png(data):
    return (data[:8] == '\211PNG\r\n\032\n'and (data[12:16] == 'IHDR'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with open('foo.png', 'rb') as f:
        data = f.read()

    print is_png(data)
    print get_image_info(data)

When you run this, it will return:

True
(x, y)

And another example that includes handling of JPEGs as well: http://markasread.net/post/17551554979/get-image-size-info-using-pure-python-code

How To Raise Property Changed events on a Dependency Property?

Implement INotifyPropertyChanged in your class.
Specify a callback in the property metadata when you register the dependency property.
In the callback, raise the PropertyChanged event.

Adding the callback:

public static DependencyProperty FirstProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
  "First", 
  typeof(string), 
  typeof(MyType),
  new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
     false, 
     new PropertyChangedCallback(OnFirstPropertyChanged)));

Raising PropertyChanged in the callback:

private static void OnFirstPropertyChanged(
   DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
   PropertyChangedEventHandler h = PropertyChanged;
   if (h != null)
   {
      h(sender, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Second"));
   }
}

How to simulate "Press any key to continue?"

If you're on Windows, you can use kbhit() which is part of the Microsoft run-time library. If you're on Linux, you can implement kbhit thus (source):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int kbhit(void)
{
  struct termios oldt, newt;
  int ch;
  int oldf;

  tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &oldt);
  newt = oldt;
  newt.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO);
  tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &newt);
  oldf = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_GETFL, 0);
  fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_SETFL, oldf | O_NONBLOCK);

  ch = getchar();

  tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &oldt);
  fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_SETFL, oldf);

  if(ch != EOF)
  {
    ungetc(ch, stdin);
    return 1;
  }

}

Update: The above function works on OS X (at least, on OS X 10.5.8 - Leopard, so I would expect it to work on more recent versions of OS X). This gist can be saved as kbhit.c and compiled on both Linux and OS X with

gcc -o kbhit kbhit.c

When run with

./kbhit

It prompts you for a keypress, and exits when you hit a key (not limited to Enter or printable keys).

@Johnsyweb - please elaborate what you mean by "detailed canonical answer" and "all the concerns". Also, re "cross-platform": With this implementation of kbhit() you can have the same functionality in a C++ program on Linux/Unix/OS X/Windows - which other platforms might you be referring to?

Further update for @Johnsyweb: C++ applications do not live in a hermetically sealed C++ environment. A big reason for C++'s success is interoperability with C. All mainstream platforms are implemented with C interfaces (even if internal implementation is using C++) so your talk of "legacy" seems out of place. Plus, as we are talking about a single function, why do you need C++ for this ("C with classes")? As I pointed out, you can write in C++ and access this functionality easily, and your application's users are unlikely to care how you implemented it.

What is the correct way to restore a deleted file from SVN?

Use the Tortoise SVN copy functionality to revert commited changes:

Right click the parent folder that contains the deleted files/folder
Select the "show log"
Select and right click on the version before which the changes/deleted was done
Select the "browse repository"
Select the file/folder which needs to be restored and right click
Select "copy to" which will copy the files/folders to the head revision

Hope that helps

IN Clause with NULL or IS NULL

SELECT *
FROM tbl_name
WHERE coalesce(id_field,'unik_null_value') 
IN ('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'unik_null_value')

So that you eliminate the null from the check. Given a null value in id_field, the coalesce function would instead of null return 'unik_null_value', and by adding 'unik_null_value to the IN-list, the query would return posts where id_field is value1-3 or null.

How to store an output of shell script to a variable in Unix?

export a=$(script.sh)

Hope this helps. Note there are no spaces between variable and =. To echo the output

echo $a

Viewing all defined variables

a bit more smart (python 3) way:

def printvars():

   tmp = globals().copy()
   [print(k,'  :  ',v,' type:' , type(v)) for k,v in tmp.items() if not k.startswith('_') and k!='tmp' and k!='In' and k!='Out' and not hasattr(v, '__call__')]

Close iOS Keyboard by touching anywhere using Swift

When there is more than one text field in the view

To follow @modocache's recommendation to avoid calling view.endEditing(), you could keep track of the text field that became first responder, but that is messy and error-prone.

An alternative is to call resignFirstResponder() on all text fields in the viewcontroller. Here's an example of creating a collection of all text fields (which in my case was needed for validation code anyway):

@IBOutlet weak var firstName: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var lastName: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var email: UITextField!

var allTextFields: Array<UITextField>!  // Forced unwrapping so it must be initialized in viewDidLoad
override func viewDidLoad()
{
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.allTextFields = [self.firstName, self.lastName, self.email]
}

With the collection available, it's a simple matter to iterate through all of them:

private func dismissKeyboard()
{
    for textField in allTextFields
    {
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
    }
}

So now you can call dismissKeyboard() in your gesture recognizer (or wherever is appropriate for you). Drawback is that you must maintain the list of UITextFields when you add or remove fields.

Comments welcome. If there is a problem with calling resignFirstResponder() on controls that aren't first responder, or if there's an easy and guaranteed non-buggy way to track the current first responder, I'd love to hear about it!

Key existence check in HashMap

If key class is your's make sure the hashCode() and equals() methods implemented.
Basically the access to HashMap should be O(1) but with wrong hashCode method implementation it's become O(n), because value with same hash key will stored as Linked list.

try {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + getPackageName());
    Intent goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    startActivity(goToMarket);

Paging with LINQ for objects

You're looking for the Skip and Take extension methods. Skip moves past the first N elements in the result, returning the remainder; Take returns the first N elements in the result, dropping any remaining elements.

See MSDN for more information on how to use these methods: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386988.aspx

Assuming you are already taking into account that the pageNumber should start at 0 (decrease per 1 as suggested in the comments) You could do it like this:

int numberOfObjectsPerPage = 10;
var queryResultPage = queryResult
  .Skip(numberOfObjectsPerPage * pageNumber)
  .Take(numberOfObjectsPerPage);

Otherwise as suggested by @Alvin

int numberOfObjectsPerPage = 10;
var queryResultPage = queryResult
  .Skip(numberOfObjectsPerPage * (pageNumber - 1))
  .Take(numberOfObjectsPerPage);

Format numbers to strings in Python

Starting in Python 2.6, there is an alternative: the str.format() method. Here are some examples using the existing string format operator (%):

>>> "Name: %s, age: %d" % ('John', 35) 
'Name: John, age: 35' 
>>> i = 45 
>>> 'dec: %d/oct: %#o/hex: %#X' % (i, i, i) 
'dec: 45/oct: 055/hex: 0X2D' 
>>> "MM/DD/YY = %02d/%02d/%02d" % (12, 7, 41) 
'MM/DD/YY = 12/07/41' 
>>> 'Total with tax: $%.2f' % (13.00 * 1.0825) 
'Total with tax: $14.07' 
>>> d = {'web': 'user', 'page': 42} 
>>> 'http://xxx.yyy.zzz/%(web)s/%(page)d.html' % d 
'http://xxx.yyy.zzz/user/42.html'

Here are the equivalent snippets but using str.format():

>>> "Name: {0}, age: {1}".format('John', 35) 
'Name: John, age: 35' 
>>> i = 45 
>>> 'dec: {0}/oct: {0:#o}/hex: {0:#X}'.format(i) 
'dec: 45/oct: 0o55/hex: 0X2D' 
>>> "MM/DD/YY = {0:02d}/{1:02d}/{2:02d}".format(12, 7, 41) 
'MM/DD/YY = 12/07/41' 
>>> 'Total with tax: ${0:.2f}'.format(13.00 * 1.0825) 
'Total with tax: $14.07' 
>>> d = {'web': 'user', 'page': 42} 
>>> 'http://xxx.yyy.zzz/{web}/{page}.html'.format(**d) 
'http://xxx.yyy.zzz/user/42.html'

Like Python 2.6+, all Python 3 releases (so far) understand how to do both. I shamelessly ripped this stuff straight out of my hardcore Python intro book and the slides for the Intro+Intermediate Python courses I offer from time-to-time. :-)

Aug 2018 UPDATE: Of course, now that we have the f-string feature in 3.6, we need the equivalent examples of that, yes another alternative:

>>> name, age = 'John', 35
>>> f'Name: {name}, age: {age}'
'Name: John, age: 35'

>>> i = 45
>>> f'dec: {i}/oct: {i:#o}/hex: {i:#X}'
'dec: 45/oct: 0o55/hex: 0X2D'

>>> m, d, y = 12, 7, 41
>>> f"MM/DD/YY = {m:02d}/{d:02d}/{y:02d}"
'MM/DD/YY = 12/07/41'

>>> f'Total with tax: ${13.00 * 1.0825:.2f}'
'Total with tax: $14.07'

>>> d = {'web': 'user', 'page': 42}
>>> f"http://xxx.yyy.zzz/{d['web']}/{d['page']}.html"
'http://xxx.yyy.zzz/user/42.html'

PHP: Read Specific Line From File

You could try looping until the line you want, not the EOF, and resetting the variable to the line each time (not adding to it). In your case, the 2nd line is the EOF. (A for loop is probably more appropriate in my code below).

This way the entire file is not in the memory; the drawback is it takes time to go through the file up to the point you want.

<?php 
$myFile = "4-24-11.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$i = 0;
while ($i < 2)
 {
  $theData = fgets($fh);
  $i++
 }
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;
?>

How do I tell if an object is a Promise?

In case you are using Typescript, I'd like to add that you can use the "type predicate" feature. Just should wrap the logical verification in a function that returns x is Promise<any> and you won't need to do typecasts. Below on my example, c is either a promise or one of my types which I want to convert into a promise by calling the c.fetch() method.

export function toPromise(c: Container<any> | Promise<any>): Promise<any> {
    if (c == null) return Promise.resolve();
    return isContainer(c) ? c.fetch() : c;
}

export function isContainer(val: Container<any> | Promise<any>): val is Container<any> {
    return val && (<Container<any>>val).fetch !== undefined;
}

export function isPromise(val: Container<any> | Promise<any>): val is Promise<any> {
    return val && (<Promise<any>>val).then !== undefined;
}

Makefile, header dependencies

Most answers are surprisingly complicated or erroneous. However simple and robust examples have been posted elsewhere [codereview]. Admittedly the options provided by the gnu preprocessor are a bit confusing. However, the removal of all directories from the build target with -MM is documented and not a bug [gpp]:

By default CPP takes the name of the main input file, deletes any directory components and any file suffix such as ‘.c’, and appends the platform's usual object suffix.

The (somewhat newer) -MMD option is probably what you want. For completeness an example of a makefile that supports multiple src dirs and build dirs with some comments. For a simple version without build dirs see [codereview].

CXX = clang++
CXX_FLAGS = -Wfatal-errors -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wconversion -Wshadow

# Final binary
BIN = mybin
# Put all auto generated stuff to this build dir.
BUILD_DIR = ./build

# List of all .cpp source files.
CPP = main.cpp $(wildcard dir1/*.cpp) $(wildcard dir2/*.cpp)

# All .o files go to build dir.
OBJ = $(CPP:%.cpp=$(BUILD_DIR)/%.o)
# Gcc/Clang will create these .d files containing dependencies.
DEP = $(OBJ:%.o=%.d)

# Default target named after the binary.
$(BIN) : $(BUILD_DIR)/$(BIN)

# Actual target of the binary - depends on all .o files.
$(BUILD_DIR)/$(BIN) : $(OBJ)
    # Create build directories - same structure as sources.
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    # Just link all the object files.
    $(CXX) $(CXX_FLAGS) $^ -o $@

# Include all .d files
-include $(DEP)

# Build target for every single object file.
# The potential dependency on header files is covered
# by calling `-include $(DEP)`.
$(BUILD_DIR)/%.o : %.cpp
    mkdir -p $(@D)
    # The -MMD flags additionaly creates a .d file with
    # the same name as the .o file.
    $(CXX) $(CXX_FLAGS) -MMD -c $< -o $@

.PHONY : clean
clean :
    # This should remove all generated files.
    -rm $(BUILD_DIR)/$(BIN) $(OBJ) $(DEP)

This method works because if there are multiple dependency lines for a single target, the dependencies are simply joined, e.g.:

a.o: a.h
a.o: a.c
    ./cmd

is equivalent to:

a.o: a.c a.h
    ./cmd

as mentioned at: Makefile multiple dependency lines for a single target?

How to open SharePoint files in Chrome/Firefox

Thanks to @LyphTEC that gave a very interesting way to open an Office file in edit mode!

It gave me the idea to change the function _DispEx that is called when the user clicks on a file into a document library. By hacking the original function we can them be able to open a dialog (for Firefox/Chrome) and ask the user if he/she wants to readonly or edit the file:

See below the JavaScript code I used. My code is for Excel files, but it could be modified to work with Word documents too:

    /**
 * fix problem with Excel documents on Firefox/Chrome (see https://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2017/02/09/how-to-open-an-excel-document-from-sharepoint-files-into-chromefirefox-in-readonlyedit-mode/)
 * @param  {HTMLElement} p the <A> element
 * @param  {HTMLEvent} a the click event
 * @param  {Boolean} h TRUE
 * @param  {Boolean} e FALSE
 * @param  {Boolean} g FALSE
 * @param  {Strin} k the ActiveX command (e.g. "SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3")
 * @param  {Number} c 0
 * @param  {String} o the activeX command, here we look at "SharePoint.OpenDocuments"
 * @param  {String} m
 * @param  {String} b the replacement URL to the xslviewer

How do I get the directory of the PowerShell script I execute?

PowerShell 3 has the $PSScriptRoot automatic variable:

Contains the directory from which a script is being run.

In Windows PowerShell 2.0, this variable is valid only in script modules (.psm1). Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, it is valid in all scripts.

Don't be fooled by the poor wording. PSScriptRoot is the directory of the current file.

In PowerShell 2, you can calculate the value of $PSScriptRoot yourself:

# PowerShell v2
$PSScriptRoot = Split-Path -Parent -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

How to get the Mongo database specified in connection string in C#

The answer below is apparently obsolete now, but works with older drivers. See comments.

How does Java handle integer underflows and overflows and how would you check for it?

It doesn't do anything -- the under/overflow just happens.

A "-1" that is the result of a computation that overflowed is no different from the "-1" that resulted from any other information. So you can't tell via some status or by inspecting just a value whether it's overflowed.

But you can be smart about your computations in order to avoid overflow, if it matters, or at least know when it will happen. What's your situation?

Changing color of Twitter bootstrap Nav-Pills

You can supply your own class to the nav-pills container with your custom color for your active link, that way you can create as many colors as you like without modifying the bootstrap default colors in other sections of your page. Try this:

Markup

<ul class="nav nav-pills red">
    <li class="active"><a href="#tab1" data-toggle="tab">Overview</a></li>
    <li><a href="#tab2" data-toggle="tab">Sample</a></li>
    <li><a href="#tab3" data-toggle="tab">Sample</a></li>
</ul>

And here is the CSS for your custom color:

.red .active a,
.red .active a:hover {
    background-color: red;
}

Also, if you prefer to replace the default color for the .active item in your nav-pills you can modify the original like so:

.nav-pills > .active > a, .nav-pills > .active > a:hover {
    background-color: red;
}

Checkbox angular material checked by default

If you are using Reactive form you can set it to default like this:

In the form model, set the value to false. So if it's checked its value will be true else false

let form = this.formBuilder.group({
    is_known: [false]
})

//In HTML

 <mat-checkbox matInput formControlName="is_known">Known</mat-checkbox>

Convert a string to a double - is this possible?

How can I copy a conditional formatting from one document to another?

To copy conditional formatting from google spreadsheet (doc1) to another (doc2) you need to do the following:

Go to the bottom of doc1 and right-click on the sheet name.
Select Copy to
Select doc2 from the options you have (note: doc2 must be on your google drive as well)
Go to doc2 and open the newly "pasted" sheet at the bottom (it should be the far-right one)
Select the cell with the formatting you want to use and copy it.
Go to the sheet in doc2 you would like to modify.
Select the cell you want your formatting to go to.
Right click and choose paste special and then paste conditional formatting only
Delete the pasted sheet if you don't want it there. Done.

How to semantically add heading to a list

According to w3.org (note that this link is in the long-expired draft HTML 3.0 spec):

An unordered list typically is a bulleted list of items. HTML 3.0 gives you the ability to customise the bullets, to do without bullets and to wrap list items horizontally or vertically for multicolumn lists.

The opening list tag must be <UL>. It is followed by an optional list header (<LH>caption</LH>) and then by the first list item (<LI>). For example:
<UL>
  <LH>Table Fruit</LH>
  <LI>apples
  <LI>oranges
  <LI>bananas
</UL>
which could be rendered as:

Table Fruit

apples

oranges

bananas

Note: Some legacy documents may include headers or plain text before the first LI element. Implementors of HTML 3.0 user agents are advised to cater for this possibility in order to handle badly formed legacy documents.

Vertically aligning a checkbox

The most effective solution that I found is to define the parent element with display:flex and align-items:center

$('a.yourlink').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.open('mysite.com/file1');
    window.open('mysite.com/file2');
    window.open('mysite.com/file3');
});

Having said this, I would still go with zipping the file, as this implementation requires JavaScript and can also sometimes be blocked as popups.

Handling MySQL datetimes and timestamps in Java

In Java side, the date is usually represented by the (poorly designed, but that aside) java.util.Date. It is basically backed by the Epoch time in flavor of a long, also known as a timestamp. It contains information about both the date and time parts. In Java, the precision is in milliseconds.

In SQL side, there are several standard date and time types, DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP (at some DB's also called DATETIME), which are represented in JDBC as java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp, all subclasses of java.util.Date. The precision is DB dependent, often in milliseconds like Java, but it can also be in seconds.

In contrary to java.util.Date, the java.sql.Date contains only information about the date part (year, month, day). The Time contains only information about the time part (hours, minutes, seconds) and the Timestamp contains information about the both parts, like as java.util.Date does.

The normal practice to store a timestamp in the DB (thus, java.util.Date in Java side and java.sql.Timestamp in JDBC side) is to use PreparedStatement#setTimestamp().

java.util.Date date = getItSomehow();
Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(date.getTime());
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE ts > ?");
preparedStatement.setTimestamp(1, timestamp);

The normal practice to obtain a timestamp from the DB is to use ResultSet#getTimestamp().

Timestamp timestamp = resultSet.getTimestamp("ts");
java.util.Date date = timestamp; // You can just upcast.

How to add include path in Qt Creator?

If you are using qmake, the standard Qt build system, just add a line to the .pro file as documented in the qmake Variable Reference:

INCLUDEPATH += <your path>

If you are using your own build system, you create a project by selecting "Import of Makefile-based project". This will create some files in your project directory including a file named <your project name>.includes. In that file, simply list the paths you want to include, one per line. Really all this does is tell Qt Creator where to look for files to index for auto completion. Your own build system will have to handle the include paths in its own way.

As explained in the Qt Creator Manual, <your path> must be an absolute path, but you can avoid OS-, host- or user-specific entries in your .pro file by using $$PWD which refers to the folder that contains your .pro file, e.g.

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/code/include

How to improve a case statement that uses two columns

Just change your syntax ever so slightly:

CASE WHEN STATE = 2 AND RetailerProcessType = 1 THEN '"AUTHORISED"'
     WHEN STATE = 1 AND RetailerProcessType = 2 THEN '"PENDING"'
     WHEN STATE = 2 AND RetailerProcessType = 2 THEN '"AUTHORISED"'
     ELSE '"DECLINED"'
END

If you don't put the field expression before the CASE statement, you can put pretty much any fields and comparisons in there that you want. It's a more flexible method but has slightly more verbose syntax.

Java command not found on Linux

I had these choices:

-----------------------------------------------
*  1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
 + 2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   3           /home/ec2-user/local/java/jre1.7.0_25/bin/java

When I chose 3, it didn't work. When I chose 2, it did work.

Using an index to get an item, Python

What you show, ('A','B','C','D','E'), is not a list, it's a tuple (the round parentheses instead of square brackets show that). Nevertheless, whether it to index a list or a tuple (for getting one item at an index), in either case you append the index in square brackets.

So:

thetuple = ('A','B','C','D','E')
print thetuple[0]

prints A, and so forth.

Tuples (differently from lists) are immutable, so you couldn't assign to thetuple[0] etc (as you could assign to an indexing of a list). However you can definitely just access ("get") the item by indexing in either case.

"Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions" error

The template it is referring to is the Html helper DisplayFor.

DisplayFor expects to be given an expression that conforms to the rules as specified in the error message.

You are trying to pass in a method chain to be executed and it doesn't like it.

This is a perfect example of where the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern comes in handy.

You could wrap up your Trainer model class in another class called TrainerViewModel that could work something like this:

class TrainerViewModel
{
    private Trainer _trainer;

    public string ShortDescription
    {
        get
        {
            return _trainer.Description.ToString().Substring(0, 100);
        }
    }

    public TrainerViewModel(Trainer trainer)
    {
        _trainer = trainer;
    }
}

You would modify your view model class to contain all the properties needed to display that data in the view, hence the name ViewModel.

Then you would modify your controller to return a TrainerViewModel object rather than a Trainer object and change your model type declaration in your view file to TrainerViewModel too.

How to show MessageBox on asp.net?

You could just simply write but you have to use JavaScript regardless.

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "Message Box", "<script language = 'javascript'>alert('dd')</script>");

RegEx to make sure that the string contains at least one lower case char, upper case char, digit and symbol

You can match those three groups separately, and make sure that they all present. Also, [^\w] seems a bit too broad, but if that's what you want you might want to replace it with \W.

How can I undo a mysql statement that I just executed?

For some instrutions, like ALTER TABLE, this is not possible with MySQL, even with transactions (1 and 2).

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

What I did was;

1 - I first find out what version of PHP I am using thru the function phpinfo()

<?php   
    phpinfo();
?>

2 - From there you will find the location of your configuration(php.ini) file

3 - Open that file

4 - Comment out the line similar to the image below

This might be a different value but it should be related to extension. I am no expert but this process helped me solved similar problem.

Scanner doesn't read whole sentence - difference between next() and nextLine() of scanner class

You can do this:

    public static void main (String args[]){
         Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
         System.out.println("Enter Your Name: ");
         String name = s.nextLine();
         System.out.println("Enter Your Age: ");
         String age = s.nextLine();
         System.out.println("Enter Your E-mail: ");
         String email = s.nextLine();
         System.out.println("Enter Your Address: ");
         String address = s.nextLine();


         System.out.println("Name: "+name);
         System.out.println("Age: "+age);
         System.out.println("E-mail: "+email);
         System.out.println("Address: "+address);

    }
}

Adjust width of input field to its input

Here is my 2 cents. Create an empty invisible div. Fill it with the input content and return the width to the input field. Match text styles between each box.

_x000D_

$(".answers_number").keyup(function(){_x000D_
    $( "#number_box" ).html( $( this ).val() );_x000D_
    $( this ).animate({_x000D_
        width: $( "#number_box" ).width()+20_x000D_
        }, 300, function() {_x000D_
    });_x000D_
});

_x000D_

#number_box {_x000D_
   position: absolute;_x000D_

Client to send SOAP request and receive response

I think there is a simpler way:

 public async Task<string> CreateSoapEnvelope()
 {
      string soapString = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
          <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">
              <soap:Body>
                  <HelloWorld xmlns=""http://tempuri.org/"" />
              </soap:Body>
          </soap:Envelope>";

          HttpResponseMessage response = await PostXmlRequest("your_url_here", soapString);
          string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

      return content;
 }

 public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostXmlRequest(string baseUrl, string xmlString)
 {
      using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
      {
          var httpContent = new StringContent(xmlString, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");
          httpContent.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld");

          return await httpClient.PostAsync(baseUrl, httpContent);
       }
 }

Check if an array item is set in JS

TLDR; The best I can come up with is this: (Depending on your use case, there are a number of ways to optimize this function.)

function arrayIndexExists(array, index){
    if ( typeof index !== 'number' && index === parseInt(index).toString()) {
        index = parseInt(index);
    } else {
        return false;//to avoid checking typeof again
    }
    return typeof index === 'number' && index % 1===0 && index >= 0 && array.hasOwnKey(index);
}

The other answer's examples get close and will work for some (probably most) purposes, but are technically quite incorrect for reasons I explain below.

Javascript arrays only use 'numerical' keys. When you set an "associative key" on an array, you are actually setting a property on that array object, not an element of that array. For example, this means that the "associative key" will not be iterated over when using Array.forEach() and will not be included when calculating Array.length. (The exception for this is strings like '0' will resolve to an element of the array, but strings like ' 0' won't.)

Additionally, checking array element or object property that doesn't exist does evaluate as undefined, but that doesn't actually tell you that the array element or object property hasn't been set yet. For example, undefined is also the result you get by calling a function that doesn't terminate with a return statement. This could lead to some strange errors and difficulty debugging code.

This can be confusing, but can be explored very easily using your browser's javascript console. (I used chrome, each comment indicates the evaluated value of the line before it.);

var foo = new Array();
foo;
//[]
foo.length;
//0
foo['bar'] = 'bar';
//"bar"
foo;
//[]
foo.length;
//0
foo.bar;
//"bar"

This shows that associative keys are not used to access elements in the array, but for properties of the object.

foo[0] = 0;
//0
foo;
//[0]
foo.length;
//1
foo[2] = undefined
//undefined
typeof foo[2]
//"undefined"
foo.length
//3

This shows that checking typeof doesn't allow you to see if an element has been set.

var foo = new Array();
//undefined
foo;
//[]
foo[0] = 0;
//0
foo['0']
//0
foo[' 0']
//undefined

This shows the exception I mentioned above and why you can't just use parseInt();

If you want to use associative arrays, you are better off using simple objects as other answers have recommended.

Is there a way that I can check if a data attribute exists?

In the interest of providing a different answer from the ones above; you could check it with Object.hasOwnProperty(...) like this:

 if( $("#dataTable").data().hasOwnProperty("timer") ){
     // the data-time property exists, now do you business! .....
 }

alternatively, if you have multiple data elements you want to iterate over you can variablize the .data() object and iterate over it like this:

 var objData = $("#dataTable").data();
 for ( data in objData ){
      if( data == 'timer' ){
            //...do the do
      }
 }

Not saying this solution is better than any of the other ones in here, but at least it's another approach...

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

You have to execute your query and add single quote to $email in the query beacuse it's a string, and remove the is_resource($query) $query is a string, the $result will be the resource

$query = "SELECT `email` FROM `tblUser` WHERE `email` = '$email'";
$result = mysqli_query($link,$query); //$link is the connection

if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0 ){....}

UPDATE

Base in your edit just change:

if(is_resource($query) && mysqli_num_rows($query) > 0 ){
        $query = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query);
        echo $email . " email exists " .  $query["email"] . "\n";

if(is_resource($result) && mysqli_num_rows($result) == 1 ){
        $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
         echo $email . " email exists " .  $row["email"] . "\n";

and you will be fine

UPDATE 2

A better way should be have a Store Procedure that execute the following SQL passing the Email as Parameter

SELECT IF( EXISTS (
                  SELECT *
                  FROM `Table`
                  WHERE `email` = @Email)
          , 1, 0) as `Exist`

and retrieve the value in php

Pseudocodigo:

 $query = Call MYSQL_SP($EMAIL);
 $result = mysqli_query($conn,$query);
 $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)
 $exist = ($row['Exist']==1)? 'the email exist' : 'the email doesnt exist';

Hiding a sheet in Excel 2007 (with a password) OR hide VBA code in Excel

Here is what you do in Excel 2003:

In your sheet of interest, go to Format -> Sheet -> Hide and hide your sheet.
Go to Tools -> Protection -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.

Here is what you do in Excel 2007:

In your sheet of interest, go to Home ribbon -> Format -> Hide & Unhide -> Hide Sheet and hide your sheet.
Go to Review ribbon -> Protect Workbook, make sure Structure is selected, and enter your password of choice.

Once this is done, the sheet is hidden and cannot be unhidden without the password. Make sense?

If you really need to keep some calculations secret, try this: use Access (or another Excel workbook or some other DB of your choice) to calculate what you need calculated, and export only the "unclassified" results to your Excel workbook.

JavaScript Nested function

Function-instantiation is allowed inside and outside of functions. Inside those functions, just like variables, the nested functions are local and therefore cannot be obtained from the outside scope.

function foo() {
    function bar() {
        return 1;
    }
    return bar();
}

foo manipulates bar within itself. bar cannot be touched from the outer scope unless it is defined in the outer scope.

So this will not work:

function foo() {
    function bar() {
        return 1;
    }
}

bar(); // throws error: bar is not defined

Calling one method from another within same class in Python

To accessing member functions or variables from one scope to another scope (In your case one method to another method we need to refer method or variable with class object. and you can do it by referring with self keyword which refer as class object.

class YourClass():

    def your_function(self, *args):

        self.callable_function(param) # if you need to pass any parameter

    def callable_function(self, *params): 
        print('Your param:', param)

How to create an array containing 1...N

Just for fun, I wanted to build off of Ian Henry's answer.

Of course var array = new Array(N); will give you an array of size N, but the keys and values will be identical.... then to shorten the array to size M, use array.length = M.... but for some added functionality try:

function range()
{
    // This function takes optional arguments:
    // start, end, increment
    //    start may be larger or smaller than end
    // Example:  range(null, null, 2);

    var array = []; // Create empty array

      // Get arguments or set default values:
    var start = (arguments[0] ? arguments[0] : 0);
    var end   = (arguments[1] ? arguments[1] : 9);
      // If start == end return array of size 1
    if (start == end) { array.push(start); return array; }
    var inc   = (arguments[2] ? Math.abs(arguments[2]) : 1);

    inc *= (start > end ? -1 : 1); // Figure out which direction to increment.

      // Loop ending condition depends on relative sizes of start and end
    for (var i = start; (start < end ? i <= end : i >= end) ; i += inc)
        array.push(i);

    return array;
}

var foo = range(1, -100, 8.5)

for(var i=0;i<foo.length;i++){
  document.write(foo[i] + ' is item: ' + (i+1) + ' of ' + foo.length + '<br/>'); 
}?

Output of the above:

1 is item: 1 of 12
-7.5 is item: 2 of 12
-16 is item: 3 of 12
-24.5 is item: 4 of 12
-33 is item: 5 of 12
-41.5 is item: 6 of 12
-50 is item: 7 of 12
-58.5 is item: 8 of 12
-67 is item: 9 of 12
-75.5 is item: 10 of 12
-84 is item: 11 of 12
-92.5 is item: 12 of 12

jsFiddle example

This function makes use of the automatically generated arguments array.

The function creates an array filled with values beginning at start and ending at end with increments of size increment, where

range(start, end, increment);

Each value has a default and the sign of the increment doesn't matter, since the direction of incrementation depends on the relative sizes of start and end.

Is there a way to create multiline comments in Python?

I would advise against using """ for multi line comments!

Here is a simple example to highlight what might be considered an unexpected behavior:

print('{}\n{}'.format(
    'I am a string',
    """
    Some people consider me a
    multi-line comment, but
    """
    'clearly I am also a string'
    )
)

Now have a look at the output:

I am a string

    Some people consider me a
    multi-line comment, but
    clearly I am also a string

The multi line string was not treated as comment, but it was concatenated with 'clearly I'm also a string' to form a single string.

If you want to comment multiple lines do so according to PEP 8 guidelines:

print('{}\n{}'.format(
    'I am a string',
    # Some people consider me a
    # multi-line comment, but
    'clearly I am also a string'
    )
)

Output:

I am a string
clearly I am also a string

How do you configure HttpOnly cookies in tomcat / java webapps?

Please be careful not to overwrite the ";secure" cookie flag in https-sessions. This flag prevents the browser from sending the cookie over an unencrypted http connection, basically rendering the use of https for legit requests pointless.

private void rewriteCookieToHeader(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    if (response.containsHeader("SET-COOKIE")) {
        String sessionid = request.getSession().getId();
        String contextPath = request.getContextPath();
        String secure = "";
        if (request.isSecure()) {
            secure = "; Secure"; 
        }
        response.setHeader("SET-COOKIE", "JSESSIONID=" + sessionid
                         + "; Path=" + contextPath + "; HttpOnly" + secure);
    }
}

How to change value of a request parameter in laravel

If you need to update a property in the request, I recommend you to use the replace method from Request class used by Laravel

$request->replace(['property to update' => $newValue]);

No process is on the other end of the pipe (SQL Server 2012)

If you are trying to login with SQL credentials, you can also try changing the LoginMode for SQL Server in the registry to allow both SQL Server and Windows Authentication.

Open regedit
Go to the SQL instance key (may vary depending on your instance name): Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\
Set LoginMode to 2

Restart SQL service and SQL Server Management Studio and try again.

C linked list inserting node at the end

I know this is an old post but just for reference. Here is how to append without the special case check for an empty list, although at the expense of more complex looking code.

void Append(List * l, Node * n)
{
    Node ** next = &list->Head;
    while (*next != NULL) next = &(*next)->Next;
    *next = n;
    n->Next = NULL;
}

Android - default value in editText

You can do it in this way

private EditText nameEdit;
private EditText emailEdit;
private String nameDefaultValue = "Your Name";
private String emailDefaultValue = "[email protected]";

and inside onCreate method

nameEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
    nameEdit.setText(nameDefaultValue); 
    nameEdit.setOnTouchListener( new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (nameEdit.getText().toString().equals(nameDefaultValue)){
                nameEdit.setText("");
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

    nameEdit.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {               
            if(!hasFocus && TextUtils.isEmpty(nameEdit.getText().toString())){
                nameEdit.setText(nameDefaultValue);
            } else if (hasFocus && nameEdit.getText().toString().equals(nameDefaultValue)){
                nameEdit.setText("");
            }
        }
    });     

    emailEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.email);
    emailEdit.setText(emailDefaultValue);   
    emailEdit.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {               
            if(!hasFocus && TextUtils.isEmpty(emailEdit.getText().toString())){
                emailEdit.setText(emailDefaultValue);
            } else if (hasFocus && emailEdit.getText().toString().equals(emailDefaultValue)){
                emailEdit.setText("");
            }
        }
    });

How to use if, else condition in jsf to display image

Instead of using the "c" tags, you could also do the following:

<h:outputLink value="Images/thumb_02.jpg" target="_blank" rendered="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0}" />
<h:graphicImage value="Images/thumb_02.jpg" rendered="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0}" />

<h:outputLink value="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" target="_blank" rendered="#{not empty user and user.userId neq 0}" />
<h:graphicImage value="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" rendered="#{not empty user and user.userId neq 0}"/>

I think that's a little more readable alternative to skuntsel's alternative answer and is utilizing the JSF rendered attribute instead of nesting a ternary operator. And off the answer, did you possibly mean to put your image in between the anchor tags so the image is clickable?

Send json post using php

You can use CURL for this purpose see the example code:

$url = "your url";    
$content = json_encode("your data to be sent");

$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
        array("Content-type: application/json"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);

$json_response = curl_exec($curl);

$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

if ( $status != 201 ) {
    die("Error: call to URL $url failed with status $status, response $json_response, curl_error " . curl_error($curl) . ", curl_errno " . curl_errno($curl));
}


curl_close($curl);

$response = json_decode($json_response, true);

#include <cstring> should introduce std::strcpy().
using namespace std; (as written in medico.h) introduces any identifiers from std:: into the global namespace.

Aside from using namespace std; being somewhat clumsy once the application grows larger (as it introduces one hell of a lot of identifiers into the global namespace), and that you should never use using in a header file (see below!), using namespace does not affect identifiers introduced after the statement.

(using namespace std is written in the header, which is included in medico.cpp, but #include <cstring> comes after that.)

My advice: Put the using namespace std; (if you insist on using it at all) into medico.cpp, after any includes, and use explicit std:: in medico.h.

strcmpi() is not a standard function at all; while being defined on Windows, you have to solve case-insensitive compares differently on Linux.

(On general terms, I would like to point to this answer with regards to "proper" string handling in C and C++ that takes Unicode into account, as every application should. Summary: The standard cannot handle these things correctly; do use ICU.)

warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’

A "string constant" is when you write a string literal (e.g. "Hello") in your code. Its type is const char[], i.e. array of constant characters (as you cannot change the characters). You can assign an array to a pointer, but assigning to char *, i.e. removing the const qualifier, generates the warning you are seeing.

OT clarification: using in a header file changes visibility of identifiers for anyone including that header, which is usually not what the user of your header file wants. For example, I could use std::string and a self-written ::string just perfectly in my code, unless I include your medico.h, because then the two classes will clash.

Don't use using in header files.

And even in implementation files, it can introduce lots of ambiguity. There is a case to be made to use explicit namespacing in implementation files as well.

SQL Server: Best way to concatenate multiple columns?

Blockquote

Using concatenation in Oracle SQL is very easy and interesting. But don't know much about MS-SQL.

Blockquote

Here we go for Oracle : Syntax: SQL> select First_name||Last_Name as Employee from employees;

Result: EMPLOYEE

EllenAbel SundarAnde MozheAtkinson

Here AS: keyword used as alias. We can concatenate with NULL values. e.g. : columnm1||Null

Suppose any of your columns contains a NULL value then the result will show only the value of that column which has value.

You can also use literal character string in concatenation.

e.g. select column1||' is a '||column2 from tableName; Result: column1 is a column2. in between literal should be encolsed in single quotation. you cna exclude numbers.

NOTE: This is only for oracle server//SQL.

How to convert DataSet to DataTable

Here is my solution:

Getting Git to work with a proxy server - fails with "Request timed out"

I followed the most of the answers which was recommended here. First I got the following error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/folder/sample.git/': schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.

Then I have tried the following command by @Salim Hamidi

git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080

But I got the following error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/folder/sample.git/': Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT

This could happen if the proxy server can't verify the SSL certificate. So we want to make sure that the ssl verification is off (not recommended for non trusted sites), so I have done the following steps which was recommended by @Arpit but with slight changes:

1.First make sure to remove any previous proxy settings:

git config --global --unset http.proxy

2.Then list and get the gitconfig content

git config --list --show-origin

3.Last update the content of the gitconfig file as below:

[http]
sslCAInfo = C:/yourfolder/AppData/Local/Programs/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
sslBackend = schannel
proxy = http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080
sslverify = false
[https]
proxy = http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080
sslverify = false

How to get Android GPS location

Here's your problem:

int latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude());
int longitude = (int) (location.getLongitude());

Latitude and Longitude are double-values, because they represent the location in degrees.

By casting them to int, you're discarding everything behind the comma, which makes a big difference. See "Decimal Degrees - Wiki"

Using form input to access camera and immediately upload photos using web app

It's really easy to do this, simply send the file via an XHR request inside of the file input's onchange handler.

<input id="myFileInput" type="file" accept="image/*;capture=camera">

var myInput = document.getElementById('myFileInput');

function sendPic() {
    var file = myInput.files[0];

    // Send file here either by adding it to a `FormData` object 
    // and sending that via XHR, or by simply passing the file into 
    // the `send` method of an XHR instance.
}

myInput.addEventListener('change', sendPic, false);

Mythical man month 10 lines per developer day - how close on large projects?

It would be much better to realize that talking of physical lines of code is pretty meaningless. The number of physical Lines of Code (LoC) is so dependent on the coding style that it can vary of an order of magnitude from one developer to another one.

In the .NET world there are a convenient way to count the LoC. Sequence point. A sequence point is a unit of debugging, it is the code portion highlighted in dark-red when putting a break point. With sequence point we can talk of logical LoC, and this metric can be compared across various .NET languages. The logical LoC code metric is supported by most .NET tools including VisualStudio code metric, NDepend or NCover.

For example, here is a 8 LoC method (beginning and ending brackets sequence points are not taken account):

alt text

The production of LoC must be counted in the long term. Some days you'll spit more than 200 LoC, some others days you'll spend 8 hours fixing a bug by not even adding a single LoC. Some days you'll clean dead code and will remove LoC, some days you'll spend all your time refactoring existing code and not adding any new LoC to the total.

Personally, I count a single LoC in my own productivity score only when:

It is covered by unit-tests
it is associated to some sort of code contract (if possible, not all LoC of course can be checked by contracts).

In this condition, my personal score over the last 5 years coding the NDepend tool for .NET developers is an average of 80 physical LoC per day without sacrificing by any mean the code quality. The rhythm is sustained and I don't see it decreased any time soon. All in all, NDepend is a C# code base that currently weights around 115K physical LoC

For those who hates counting LoC (I saw many of them in comments here), I attest that once adequately calibrated, counting LoC is an excellent estimation tool. After coding and measuring dozens of features achieved in my particular context of development, I reached the point where I can estimate precisely the size of any TODO feature in LoC, and the time it'll take me to deliver it to production.

How to stop the Timer in android?

I had a similar problem and it was caused by the placement of the Timer initialisation.

It was placed in a method that was invoked oftener.

Try this:

Timer waitTimer;

  void exampleMethod() {

   if (waitTimer == null ) {
    //initialize your Timer here
    ...
   }

The "cancel()" method only canceled the latest Timer. The older ones were ignored an didn't stop running.

How do I detect if software keyboard is visible on Android Device or not?

So after a long time of playing around with AccessibilityServices, window insets, screen height detection, etc, I think I found a way to do this.

Disclaimer: it uses a hidden method in Android, meaning it might not be consistent. However, in my testing, it seems to work.

The method is InputMethodManager#getInputMethodWindowVisibleHeight(), and it's existed since Lollipop (5.0).

Calling that returns the height, in pixels, of the current keyboard. In theory, a keyboard shouldn't be 0 pixels tall, so I did a simple height check (in Kotlin):

val imm by lazy { context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager }
if (imm.inputMethodWindowVisibleHeight > 0) {
    //keyboard is shown
else {
    //keyboard is hidden
}

I use Android Hidden API to avoid reflection when I call hidden methods (I do that a lot for the apps I develop, which are mostly hacky/tuner apps), but this should be possible with reflection as well:

val imm by lazy { context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager }
val windowHeightMethod = InputMethodManager::class.java.getMethod("getInputMethodWindowVisibleHeight")
val height = windowHeightMethod.invoke(imm) as Int
//use the height val in your logic

How to move mouse cursor using C#?

Take a look at the Cursor.Position Property. It should get you started.

private void MoveCursor()
{
   // Set the Current cursor, move the cursor's Position,
   // and set its clipping rectangle to the form. 

   this.Cursor = new Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);
   Cursor.Position = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - 50, Cursor.Position.Y - 50);
   Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(this.Location, this.Size);
}

How to increase size of DOSBox window?

Looking again at your question, I think I see what's wrong with your conf file. You set:

fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768

That's why you're getting the letterboxing (black on either side). You've essentially told Dosbox that your screen is the same size as your window, but your screen is actually bigger, 1600x900 (or higher) per the Googled specs for that computer. So the 'difference' shows up in black. So you either should change fullresolution to your actual screen resolution, or revert to fullresolution=original default, and only specify the window resolution.

So now I wonder if you really want fullscreen, though your question asks about only a window. For you are getting a window, but you sized it short of your screen, hence the two black stripes (letterboxing). If you really want fullscreen, then you need to specify the actual resolution of your screen. 1366x768 is not big enough.

The next issue is, what's the resolution of the program itself? It won't go past its own resolution. So if the program/game is (natively) say 1280x720 (HD), then your window resolution setting shouldn't be bigger than that (remember, it's fixed not dynamic when you use AxB as windowresolution).

Example: DOS Lotus 123 will only extend eight columns and 20 rows. The bigger the Dosbox, the bigger the text, but not more columns and rows. So setting a higher windowresolution for that, only results in bigger text, not more columns and rows. After that you'll have letterboxing.

Hope this helps you better.

Iterating through a range of dates in Python

from datetime import date,timedelta
delta = timedelta(days=1)
start = date(2020,1,1)
end=date(2020,9,1)
loop_date = start
while loop_date<=end:
    print(loop_date)
    loop_date+=delta

ThreadStart with parameters

You can use lambda expressions

private void MyMethod(string param1,int param2)
{
  //do stuff
}
Thread myNewThread = new Thread(() => MyMethod("param1",5));
myNewThread.Start();

this is so far the best answer i could find, it's fast and easy.

Parsing CSV / tab-delimited txt file with Python

Start by turning the text into a list of lists. That will take care of the parsing part:

lol = list(csv.reader(open('text.txt', 'rb'), delimiter='\t'))

The rest can be done with indexed lookups:

d = dict()
key = lol[6][0]      # cell A7
value = lol[6][3]    # cell D7
d[key] = value       # add the entry to the dictionary
 ...

How do I configure modprobe to find my module?

I think the key is to copy the module to the standard paths.

Once that is done, modprobe only accepts the module name, so leave off the path and ".ko" extension.

Fundamental difference between Hashing and Encryption algorithms

Symmetric Encryption:

Symmetric encryption may also be referred to as shared key or shared secret encryption. In symmetric encryption, a single key is used both to encrypt and decrypt traffic.

Asymmetric Encryption:

Asymmetric encryption is also known as public-key cryptography. Asymmetric encryption differs from symmetric encryption primarily in that two keys are used: one for encryption and one for decryption. The most common asymmetric encryption algorithm is RSA.

Compared to symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption imposes a high computational burden, and tends to be much slower. Thus, it isn't typically employed to protect payload data. Instead, its major strength is its ability to establish a secure channel over a nonsecure medium (for example, the Internet). This is accomplished by the exchange of public keys, which can only be used to encrypt data. The complementary private key, which is never shared, is used to decrypt.

Hashing:

Finally, hashing is a form of cryptographic security which differs from encryption. Whereas encryption is a two step process used to first encrypt and then decrypt a message, hashing condenses a message into an irreversible fixed-length value, or hash. Two of the most common hashing algorithms seen in networking are MD5 and SHA-1.

CSS: borders between table columns only

Inside <td>, use style="border-left:1px solid #colour;"

onChange and onSelect in DropDownList

I'd do it like this jsFiddle example.

JavaScript:

function check(elem) {
    document.getElementById('mySelect1').disabled = !elem.selectedIndex;
}

HTML:

<form>
<select id="mySelect" onChange="check(this);">
<option>No</option>
<option>Yes</option>
</select>

<select id="mySelect1" disabled="disabled" >
<option>Dep1</option>
<option>Dep2</option>
<option>Dep3</option>
<option>Dep4</option>
</select>
</form>

  $(document).ajaxSend(function () {
      $("#loading").show();
  });

  // invoked when sending ajax completed
  $(document).ajaxComplete(function () {
      $("#loading").hide();
  });
