RSA Public Key format

You can't just change the delimiters from ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- to -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- and expect that it will be sufficient to convert from one format to another (which is what you've done in your example).

This article has a good explanation about both formats.

What you get in an RSA PUBLIC KEY is closer to the content of a PUBLIC KEY, but you need to offset the start of your ASN.1 structure to reflect the fact that PUBLIC KEY also has an indicator saying which type of key it is (see RFC 3447). You can see this using openssl asn1parse and -strparse 19, as described in this answer.

EDIT: Following your edit, your can get the details of your RSA PUBLIC KEY structure using grep -v -- ----- | tr -d '\n' | base64 -d | openssl asn1parse -inform DER:

    0:d=0  hl=4 l= 266 cons: SEQUENCE          
    4:d=1  hl=4 l= 257 prim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
  265:d=1  hl=2 l=   3 prim: INTEGER           :010001

To decode the SSH key format, you need to use the data format specification in RFC 4251 too, in conjunction with RFC 4253:

   The "ssh-rsa" key format has the following specific encoding:

      string    "ssh-rsa"
      mpint     e
      mpint     n

For example, at the beginning, you get 00 00 00 07 73 73 68 2d 72 73 61. The first four bytes (00 00 00 07) give you the length. The rest is the string itself: 73=s, 68=h, ... -> 73 73 68 2d 72 73 61=ssh-rsa, followed by the exponent of length 1 (00 00 00 01 25) and the modulus of length 256 (00 00 01 00 7f ...).

OVER_QUERY_LIMIT in Google Maps API v3: How do I pause/delay in Javascript to slow it down?

this post was made a while ago, but it provides an answer that did not solve the problem regarding reaching the limit of requests in an iteration for me, so I publish this, to help who else has not served.

My environment happened in Ionic 3.

Instead of making a "pause" in the iteration, I ocurred the idea of ??iterating with a timer, this timer has the particularity of executing the code that would go in the iteration, but will run every so often until it is reached the maximum count of the "Array" in which we want to iterate.

In other words, we will consult the Google API in a certain time so that it does not exceed the limit allowed in milliseconds.

// Code to start the timer
    this.count= 0;
    let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({
      content: 'Buscando los mejores servicios...'
    });
    loading.present();
    this.interval = setInterval(() => this.getDistancias(loading), 40);
// Function that runs the timer, that is, query Google API
  getDistancias(loading){
    if(this.count>= this.datos.length){
      clearInterval(this.interval);
    } else {
      var sucursal = this.datos[this.count];
      this.calcularDistancia(this.posicion, new LatLng(parseFloat(sucursal.position.latitude),parseFloat(sucursal.position.longitude)),sucursal.codigo).then(distancia => {
    }).catch(error => {
      console.log('error');
      console.log(error);
    });
    }
    this.count += 1;
  }
  calcularDistancia(miPosicion, markerPosicion, codigo){
    return new Promise(async (resolve,reject) => {
      var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService;
      var distance;
      var duration;
      service.getDistanceMatrix({
        origins: [miPosicion, 'salida'],
        destinations: [markerPosicion, 'llegada'],
        travelMode: 'DRIVING',
        unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
        avoidHighways: false,
        avoidTolls: false
      }, function(response, status){
        if (status == 'OK') {
          var originList = response.originAddresses;
          var destinationList = response.destinationAddresses;
          try{
            if(response != null && response != undefined){
              distance = response.rows[0].elements[0].distance.value;
              duration = response.rows[0].elements[0].duration.text;
              resolve(distance);
            }
          }catch(error){
            console.log("ERROR GOOGLE");
            console.log(status);
          }
        }
      });
    });
  }

I hope this helps!

I'm sorry for my English, I hope it's not an inconvenience, I had to use the Google translator.

Trouble using ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ...)

A bit involved. Easiest would be to refer to this SQL Fiddle I created for you that produces the exact result. There are ways you can improve it for performance or other considerations, but this should hopefully at least be clearer than some alternatives.

The gist is, you get a canonical ranking of your data first, then use that to segment the data into groups, then find an end date for each group, then eliminate any intermediate rows. ROW_NUMBER() and CROSS APPLY help a lot in doing it readably.


EDIT 2019:

The SQL Fiddle does in fact seem to be broken, for some reason, but it appears to be a problem on the SQL Fiddle site. Here's a complete version, tested just now on SQL Server 2016:

CREATE TABLE Source
(
  EmployeeID int,
  DateStarted date,
  DepartmentID int
)

INSERT INTO Source
VALUES
(10001,'2013-01-01',001),
(10001,'2013-09-09',001),
(10001,'2013-12-01',002),
(10001,'2014-05-01',002),
(10001,'2014-10-01',001),
(10001,'2014-12-01',001)


SELECT *, 
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY EmployeeID ORDER BY DateStarted) AS EntryRank,
  newid() as GroupKey,
  CAST(NULL AS date) AS EndDate
INTO #RankedData
FROM Source
;

UPDATE #RankedData
SET GroupKey = beginDate.GroupKey
FROM #RankedData sup
  CROSS APPLY 
  (
    SELECT TOP 1 GroupKey
    FROM #RankedData sub 
    WHERE sub.EmployeeID = sup.EmployeeID AND
      sub.DepartmentID = sup.DepartmentID AND
      NOT EXISTS 
        (
          SELECT * 
          FROM #RankedData bot 
          WHERE bot.EmployeeID = sup.EmployeeID AND
            bot.EntryRank BETWEEN sub.EntryRank AND sup.EntryRank AND
            bot.DepartmentID <> sup.DepartmentID
        )
      ORDER BY DateStarted ASC
    ) beginDate (GroupKey);

UPDATE #RankedData
SET EndDate = nextGroup.DateStarted
FROM #RankedData sup
  CROSS APPLY 
  (
    SELECT TOP 1 DateStarted
    FROM #RankedData sub
    WHERE sub.EmployeeID = sup.EmployeeID AND
      sub.DepartmentID <> sup.DepartmentID AND
      sub.EntryRank > sup.EntryRank
    ORDER BY EntryRank ASC
  ) nextGroup (DateStarted);

SELECT * FROM 
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY GroupKey ORDER BY EntryRank ASC) AS GroupRank FROM #RankedData
) FinalRanking
WHERE GroupRank = 1
ORDER BY EntryRank;

DROP TABLE #RankedData
DROP TABLE Source

jQuery table sort

I love this accepted answer, however, rarely do you get requirements to sort html and not have to add icons indicating the sorting direction. I took the accept answer's usage example and fixed that quickly by simply adding bootstrap to my project, and adding the following code:

<div></div>

inside each <th> so that you have a place to set the icon.

setIcon(this, inverse);

from the accepted answer's Usage, below the line:

th.click(function () {

and by adding the setIcon method:

function setIcon(element, inverse) {

        var iconSpan = $(element).find('div');

        if (inverse == false) {
            $(iconSpan).removeClass();
            $(iconSpan).addClass('icon-white icon-arrow-up');
        } else {
            $(iconSpan).removeClass();
            $(iconSpan).addClass('icon-white icon-arrow-down');
        }
        $(element).siblings().find('div').removeClass();
    }

Here is a demo. --You need to either run the demo in Firefox or IE, or disable Chrome's MIME-type checking for the demo to work. It depends on the sortElements Plugin, linked by the accepted answer, as an external resource. Just a heads up!

Is there any kind of hash code function in JavaScript?

If you want to have unique values in a lookup object you can do something like this:

Creating a lookup object

var lookup = {};

Setting up the hashcode function

function getHashCode(obj) {
    var hashCode = '';
    if (typeof obj !== 'object')
        return hashCode + obj;
    for (var prop in obj) // No hasOwnProperty needed
        hashCode += prop + getHashCode(obj[prop]); // Add key + value to the result string
    return hashCode;
}

Object

var key = getHashCode({ 1: 3, 3: 7 });
// key = '1337'
lookup[key] = true;

Array

var key = getHashCode([1, 3, 3, 7]);
// key = '01132337'
lookup[key] = true;

Other types

var key = getHashCode('StackOverflow');
// key = 'StackOverflow'
lookup[key] = true;

Final result

{ 1337: true, 01132337: true, StackOverflow: true }

Do note that getHashCode doesn't return any value when the object or array is empty

getHashCode([{},{},{}]);
// '012'
getHashCode([[],[],[]]);
// '012'

This is similar to @ijmacd solution only getHashCode doesn't has the JSON dependency.

Stop an input field in a form from being submitted

Do you even need them to be input elements in the first place? You can use Javascript to dynamically create divs or paragraphs or list items or whatever that contain the information you want to present.

But if the interactive element is important and it's a pain in the butt to place those elements outside the <form> block, it ought to be possible to remove those elements from the form when the page gets submitted.

Group by with multiple columns using lambda

Further to aduchis answer above - if you then need to filter based on those group by keys, you can define a class to wrap the many keys.

return customers.GroupBy(a => new CustomerGroupingKey(a.Country, a.Gender))
                .Where(a => a.Key.Country == "Ireland" && a.Key.Gender == "M")
                .SelectMany(a => a)
                .ToList();

Where CustomerGroupingKey takes the group keys:

    private class CustomerGroupingKey
    {
        public CustomerGroupingKey(string country, string gender)
        {
            Country = country;
            Gender = gender;
        }

        public string Country { get; }

        public string Gender { get; }
    }

Pythonic way to find maximum value and its index in a list?

max([(value,index) for index,value in enumerate(your_list)]) #if maximum value is present more than once in your list then this will return index of the last occurrence

If maximum value in present more than once and you want to get all indices,

max_value = max(your_list)
maxIndexList = [index for index,value in enumerate(your_list) if value==max(your_list)]

Set Canvas size using javascript

You can also use this script , just change the height and width

<canvas id="Canvas01" width="500" height="400" style="border:2px solid #FF9933; margin-left:10px; margin-top:10px;"></canvas>

   <script>
      var canvas = document.getElementById("Canvas01");
      var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

How can I get the named parameters from a URL using Flask?

If you have a single argument passed in the URL you can do it as follows

from flask import request
#url
http://10.1.1.1:5000/login/alex

from flask import request
@app.route('/login/<username>', methods=['GET'])
def login(username):
    print(username)

In case you have multiple parameters:

#url
http://10.1.1.1:5000/login?username=alex&password=pw1

from flask import request
@app.route('/login', methods=['GET'])
    def login():
        username = request.args.get('username')
        print(username)
        password= request.args.get('password')
        print(password)

What you were trying to do works in case of POST requests where parameters are passed as form parameters and do not appear in the URL. In case you are actually developing a login API, it is advisable you use POST request rather than GET and expose the data to the user.

In case of post request, it would work as follows:

#url
http://10.1.1.1:5000/login

HTML snippet:

<form action="http://10.1.1.1:5000/login" method="POST">
  Username : <input type="text" name="username"><br>
  Password : <input type="password" name="password"><br>
  <input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

Route:

from flask import request
@app.route('/login', methods=['POST'])
    def login():
        username = request.form.get('username')
        print(username)
        password= request.form.get('password')
        print(password)

Java: random long number in 0 <= x < n range

If you want a uniformly distributed pseudorandom long in the range of [0,m), try using the modulo operator and the absolute value method combined with the nextLong() method as seen below:

Math.abs(rand.nextLong()) % m;

Where rand is your Random object.

The modulo operator divides two numbers and outputs the remainder of those numbers. For example, 3 % 2 is 1 because the remainder of 3 and 2 is 1.

Since nextLong() generates a uniformly distributed pseudorandom long in the range of [-(2^48),2^48) (or somewhere in that range), you will need to take the absolute value of it. If you don't, the modulo of the nextLong() method has a 50% chance of returning a negative value, which is out of the range [0,m).

What you initially requested was a uniformly distributed pseudorandom long in the range of [0,100). The following code does so:

Math.abs(rand.nextLong()) % 100;

JsonParseException: Unrecognized token 'http': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')

We have the following string which is a valid JSON ...

Clearly the JSON parser disagrees!

However, the exception says that the error is at "line 1: column 9", and there is no "http" token near the beginning of the JSON. So I suspect that the parser is trying to parse something different than this string when the error occurs.

You need to find what JSON is actually being parsed. Run the application within a debugger, set a breakpoint on the relevant constructor for JsonParseException ... then find out what is in the ByteArrayInputStream that it is attempting to parse.

Interface naming in Java

I prefer not to use a prefix on interfaces:

  • The prefix hurts readability.

  • Using interfaces in clients is the standard best way to program, so interfaces names should be as short and pleasant as possible. Implementing classes should be uglier to discourage their use.

  • When changing from an abstract class to an interface a coding convention with prefix I implies renaming all the occurrences of the class --- not good!

Android. Fragment getActivity() sometimes returns null

I've been battling this kind of problem for a while, and I think I've come up with a reliable solution.

It's pretty difficult to know for sure that this.getActivity() isn't going to return null for a Fragment, especially if you're dealing with any kind of network behaviour which gives your code ample time to withdraw Activity references.

In the solution below, I declare a small management class called the ActivityBuffer. Essentially, this class deals with maintaining a reliable reference to an owning Activity, and promising to execute Runnables within a valid Activity context whenever there's a valid reference available. The Runnables are scheduled for execution on the UI Thread immediately if the Context is available, otherwise execution is deferred until that Context is ready.

/** A class which maintains a list of transactions to occur when Context becomes available. */
public final class ActivityBuffer {

    /** A class which defines operations to execute once there's an available Context. */
    public interface IRunnable {
        /** Executes when there's an available Context. Ideally, will it operate immediately. */
        void run(final Activity pActivity);
    }

    /* Member Variables. */
    private       Activity        mActivity;
    private final List<IRunnable> mRunnables;

    /** Constructor. */
    public ActivityBuffer() {
        // Initialize Member Variables.
        this.mActivity  = null;
        this.mRunnables = new ArrayList<IRunnable>();
    }

    /** Executes the Runnable if there's an available Context. Otherwise, defers execution until it becomes available. */
    public final void safely(final IRunnable pRunnable) {
        // Synchronize along the current instance.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Do we have a context available?
            if(this.isContextAvailable()) {
                // Fetch the Activity.
                final Activity lActivity = this.getActivity();
                // Execute the Runnable along the Activity.
                lActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public final void run() { pRunnable.run(lActivity); } });
            }
            else {
                // Buffer the Runnable so that it's ready to receive a valid reference.
                this.getRunnables().add(pRunnable);
            }
        }
    }

    /** Called to inform the ActivityBuffer that there's an available Activity reference. */
    public final void onContextGained(final Activity pActivity) {
        // Synchronize along ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Update the Activity reference.
            this.setActivity(pActivity);
            // Are there any Runnables awaiting execution?
            if(!this.getRunnables().isEmpty()) {
                // Iterate the Runnables.
                for(final IRunnable lRunnable : this.getRunnables()) {
                    // Execute the Runnable on the UI Thread.
                    pActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public final void run() {
                        // Execute the Runnable.
                        lRunnable.run(pActivity);
                    } });
                }
                // Empty the Runnables.
                this.getRunnables().clear();
            }
        }
    }

    /** Called to inform the ActivityBuffer that the Context has been lost. */
    public final void onContextLost() {
        // Synchronize along ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Remove the Context reference.
            this.setActivity(null);
        }
    }

    /** Defines whether there's a safe Context available for the ActivityBuffer. */
    public final boolean isContextAvailable() {
        // Synchronize upon ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Return the state of the Activity reference.
            return (this.getActivity() != null);
        }
    }

    /* Getters and Setters. */
    private final void setActivity(final Activity pActivity) {
        this.mActivity = pActivity;
    }

    private final Activity getActivity() {
        return this.mActivity;
    }

    private final List<IRunnable> getRunnables() {
        return this.mRunnables;
    }

}

In terms of its implementation, we must take care to apply the life cycle methods to coincide with the behaviour described above by Pawan M:

public class BaseFragment extends Fragment {

    /* Member Variables. */
    private ActivityBuffer mActivityBuffer;

    public BaseFragment() {
        // Implement the Parent.
        super();
        // Allocate the ActivityBuffer.
        this.mActivityBuffer = new ActivityBuffer();
    }

    @Override
    public final void onAttach(final Context pContext) {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onAttach(pContext);
        // Is the Context an Activity?
        if(pContext instanceof Activity) {
            // Cast Accordingly.
            final Activity lActivity = (Activity)pContext;
            // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
            this.getActivityBuffer().onContextGained(lActivity);
        }
    }

    @Deprecated @Override
    public final void onAttach(final Activity pActivity) {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onAttach(pActivity);
        // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
        this.getActivityBuffer().onContextGained(pActivity);
    }

    @Override
    public final void onDetach() {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onDetach();
        // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
        this.getActivityBuffer().onContextLost();
    }

    /* Getters. */
    public final ActivityBuffer getActivityBuffer() {
        return this.mActivityBuffer;
    }

}

Finally, in any areas within your Fragment that extends BaseFragment that you're untrustworthy about a call to getActivity(), simply make a call to this.getActivityBuffer().safely(...) and declare an ActivityBuffer.IRunnable for the task!

The contents of your void run(final Activity pActivity) are then guaranteed to execute along the UI Thread.

The ActivityBuffer can then be used as follows:

this.getActivityBuffer().safely(
  new ActivityBuffer.IRunnable() {
    @Override public final void run(final Activity pActivity) {
       // Do something with guaranteed Context.
    }
  }
);

           // It exists and do something if you want to
         }

Catch multiple exceptions in one line (except block)

One of the way to do this is..

try:
   You do your operations here;
   ......................
except(Exception1[, Exception2[,...ExceptionN]]]):
   If there is any exception from the given exception list, 
   then execute this block.
   ......................
else:
   If there is no exception then execute this block. 

and another way is to create method which performs task executed by except block and call it through all of the except block that you write..

try:
   You do your operations here;
   ......................
except Exception1:
    functionname(parameterList)
except Exception2:
    functionname(parameterList)
except Exception3:
    functionname(parameterList)
else:
   If there is no exception then execute this block. 

def functionname( parameters ):
   //your task..
   return [expression]

I know that second one is not the best way to do this, but i'm just showing number of ways to do this thing.

Missing MVC template in Visual Studio 2015

Visual Studio 2015 (Community update 3, in my scenario) uses a default template for the MVC project. You don't have to select it.

I found this tutorial and I think it answers the question: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/first-mvc-app/start-mvc.html

check out the old versions of this: http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/older-versions-1/getting-started-with-mvc/getting-started-with-mvc-part1

Why do I keep getting 'SVN: Working Copy XXXX locked; try performing 'cleanup'?

This happened to me when I copied a directory from another subversion project and tried to commit. The soluction was to delete the .svn director inside the directory I wanted to commit.

loading json data from local file into React JS

If you have couple of json files:

import data from 'sample.json';

If you were to dynamically load one of the many json file, you might have to use a fetch instead:

fetch(`${fileName}.json`)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Is there a "previous sibling" selector?

I found a way to style all previous siblings (opposite of ~) that may work depending on what you need.

Let's say you have a list of links and when hovering on one, all the previous ones should turn red. You can do it like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
/* default link color is blue */_x000D_
.parent a {_x000D_
  color: blue;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
/* prev siblings should be red */_x000D_
.parent:hover a {_x000D_
  color: red;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.parent a:hover,_x000D_
.parent a:hover ~ a {_x000D_
  color: blue;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="parent">_x000D_
  <a href="#">link</a>_x000D_
  <a href="#">link</a>_x000D_
  <a href="#">link</a>_x000D_
  <a href="#">link</a>_x000D_
  <a href="#">link</a>_x000D_

When should static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast be used?

Does this answer your question?

I have never used reinterpret_cast, and wonder whether running into a case that needs it isn't a smell of bad design. In the code base I work on dynamic_cast is used a lot. The difference with static_cast is that a dynamic_cast does runtime checking which may (safer) or may not (more overhead) be what you want (see msdn).

Calculating time difference in Milliseconds

From Java 8 onward you can try the following:

Instant start_time = Instant.now();
// Your code
Instant stop_time = Instant.now();

System.out.println(Duration.between(start_time, stop_time).toMillis());

//or

System.out.println(ChronoUnit.MILLIS.between(start_time, stop_time));

How to store NULL values in datetime fields in MySQL?

Specifically relating to the error you're getting, you can't do something like this in PHP for a nullable field in MySQL:

$sql = 'INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES(' . $col1 . ', ' . null . ')';

Because null in PHP will equate to an empty string which is not the same as a NULL value in MysQL. Instead you want to do this:

$sql = 'INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES(' . $col1 . ', ' . (is_null($col2) ? 'NULL' : $col2). ')';

Of course you don't have to use is_null but I figure that it demonstrates the point a little better. Probably safer to use empty() or something like that. And if $col2 happens to be a string which you would enclose in double quotes in the query, don't forget not to include those around the 'NULL' string, otherwise it wont work.

Hope that helps!

Try-catch speeding up my code?

One of the Roslyn engineers who specializes in understanding optimization of stack usage took a look at this and reports to me that there seems to be a problem in the interaction between the way the C# compiler generates local variable stores and the way the JIT compiler does register scheduling in the corresponding x86 code. The result is suboptimal code generation on the loads and stores of the locals.

For some reason unclear to all of us, the problematic code generation path is avoided when the JITter knows that the block is in a try-protected region.

This is pretty weird. We'll follow up with the JITter team and see whether we can get a bug entered so that they can fix this.

Also, we are working on improvements for Roslyn to the C# and VB compilers' algorithms for determining when locals can be made "ephemeral" -- that is, just pushed and popped on the stack, rather than allocated a specific location on the stack for the duration of the activation. We believe that the JITter will be able to do a better job of register allocation and whatnot if we give it better hints about when locals can be made "dead" earlier.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and apologies for the odd behaviour.

Filtering collections in C#

List<T> has a FindAll method that will do the filtering for you and return a subset of the list.

MSDN has a great code example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa701359(VS.80).aspx

EDIT: I wrote this before I had a good understanding of LINQ and the Where() method. If I were to write this today i would probably use the method Jorge mentions above. The FindAll method still works if you're stuck in a .NET 2.0 environment though.

How can a web application send push notifications to iOS devices?

No, there is no way for an webapp to receive push notification. What you could do is to wrap your webapp into a native app which has push notifications.

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]);

"Multiple definition", "first defined here" errors

The problem here is that you are including commands.c in commands.h before the function prototype. Therefore, the C pre-processor inserts the content of commands.c into commands.h before the function prototype. commands.c contains the function definition. As a result, the function definition ends up before than the function declaration causing the error.

The content of commands.h after the pre-processor phase looks like this:

#ifndef COMMANDS_H_
#define COMMANDS_H_

// function definition
void f123(){

}

// function declaration
void f123();

#endif /* COMMANDS_H_ */

This is an error because you can't declare a function after its definition in C. If you swapped #include "commands.c" and the function declaration the error shouldn't happen because, now, the function prototype comes before the function declaration.

However, including a .c file is a bad practice and should be avoided. A better solution for this problem would be to include commands.h in commands.c and link the compiled version of command to the main file. For example:

commands.h

#ifndef COMMANDS_H_
#define COMMANDS_H_

void f123(); // function declaration

#endif

commands.c

#include "commands.h"

void f123(){} // function definition

YouTube embedded video: set different thumbnail

I was having trouble with the autoplay from waldir's solution... using autoplay, the video was playing when the page loaded, not when the div got displayed.

This solution worked for me except I replaced

<a class="introVid" href="#video">Watch the video</a></p>

with

<a class="introVid" href="#video"><img src="images/NEWTHUMB.jpg" style="cursor:pointer" /></a>

so that it would use my thumbnail in place of the text link.

javascript - match string against the array of regular expressions

Consider breaking this problem up into two pieces:

  1. filter out the items that match the given regular expression
  2. determine if that filtered list has 0 matches in it
const sampleStringData = ["frog", "pig", "tiger"];

const matches = sampleStringData.filter((animal) => /any.regex.here/.test(animal));

if (matches.length === 0) {
  console.log("No matches");
}

Return string without trailing slash

The easies way i know of is this

function stipTrailingSlash(str){
   if(srt.charAt(str.length-1) == "/"){ str = str.substr(0, str.length - 1);}
   return str
}

This will then check for a / on the end and if its there remove it if its not will return your string as it was

Just one thing that i cant comment on yet @ThiefMaster wow you dont care about memory do you lol runnign a substr just for an if?

Fixed the calucation for zero-based index on the string.

What is the Java ?: operator called and what does it do?

Yes, it is a shorthand form of

int count;
if (isHere)
    count = getHereCount(index);
else
    count = getAwayCount(index);

It's called the conditional operator. Many people (erroneously) call it the ternary operator, because it's the only ternary (three-argument) operator in Java, C, C++, and probably many other languages. But theoretically there could be another ternary operator, whereas there can only be one conditional operator.

The official name is given in the Java Language Specification:

§15.25 Conditional Operator ? :

The conditional operator ? : uses the boolean value of one expression to decide which of two other expressions should be evaluated.

Note that both branches must lead to methods with return values:

It is a compile-time error for either the second or the third operand expression to be an invocation of a void method.

In fact, by the grammar of expression statements (§14.8), it is not permitted for a conditional expression to appear in any context where an invocation of a void method could appear.

So, if doSomething() and doSomethingElse() are void methods, you cannot compress this:

if (someBool)
    doSomething();
else
    doSomethingElse();

into this:

someBool ? doSomething() : doSomethingElse();

Simple words:

booleanCondition ? executeThisPartIfBooleanConditionIsTrue : executeThisPartIfBooleanConditionIsFalse

I don't think you can do this without an explicit or implicit loop, without reading into a char array (or some other container) first and ten constructing the string.

    }
});

$('#button').click(function() {
    alert($("#txtAllowSearch").attr('item_id')); // get the id from the hidden input
});

Python string.replace regular expression

str.replace() v2|v3 does not recognize regular expressions.

To perform a substitution using a regular expression, use re.sub() v2|v3.

For example:

import re

line = re.sub(
           r"(?i)^.*interfaceOpDataFile.*$", 
           "interfaceOpDataFile %s" % fileIn, 
           line
       )

In a loop, it would be better to compile the regular expression first:

import re

regex = re.compile(r"^.*interfaceOpDataFile.*$", re.IGNORECASE)
for line in some_file:
    line = regex.sub("interfaceOpDataFile %s" % fileIn, line)
    # do something with the updated line

Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null

This is because the element hadn't been loaded at the time when the bundle js was being executed.

I'd move the <script src="sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script> to the very bottom of the index.html file. This way you can ensure script is executed after all the html elements have been parsed and rendered .

How do I format date and time on ssrs report?

If the date and time is in its own cell (aka textbox), then you should look at applying the format to the entire textbox. This will create cleaner exports to other formats; in particular, the value will export as a datetime value to Excel instead of a string.

Use the properties pane or dialog to set the format for the textbox to "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"

I would only use Ian's answer if the datetime is being concatenated with another string.

How to preview selected image in input type="file" in popup using jQuery?

        oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {

        };
    };

How do I get a background location update every n minutes in my iOS application?

It seems that stopUpdatingLocation is what triggers the background watchdog timer, so I replaced it in didUpdateLocation with:

     [self.locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers];
     [self.locationManager setDistanceFilter:99999];

which appears to effectively power down the GPS. The selector for the background NSTimer then becomes:

- (void) changeAccuracy {
[self.locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
[self.locationManager setDistanceFilter:kCLDistanceFilterNone];
}

All I'm doing is periodically toggling the accuracy to get a high-accuracy coordinate every few minutes and because the locationManager hasn't been stopped, backgroundTimeRemaining stays at its maximum value. This reduced battery consumption from ~10% per hour (with constant kCLLocationAccuracyBest in the background) to ~2% per hour on my device

@Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED)

When the propagation setting is PROPAGATION_REQUIRED, a logical transaction scope is created for each method upon which the setting is applied. Each such logical transaction scope can determine rollback-only status individually, with an outer transaction scope being logically independent from the inner transaction scope. Of course, in case of standard PROPAGATION_REQUIRED behavior, all these scopes will be mapped to the same physical transaction. So a rollback-only marker set in the inner transaction scope does affect the outer transaction's chance to actually commit (as you would expect it to).

A process crashed in windows .. Crash dump location

Maybe useful (Powershell)

http://sbrennan.net/2012/10/21/configuring-application-crash-dumps-with-powershell/

From Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 onwards Microsoft introduced Windows Error Reporting or WER . This allows the server to be configured to automatically enable the generation and capture of Application Crash dumps. The configuration of this is discussed here . The main problem with the default configuration is the dump files are created and stored in the %APPDATA%\crashdumps folder running the process which can make it awkward to collect dumps as they are spread all over the server. There are additional problems with this as but the main problem I always had with it was that its a simple task that is very repetitive but easy to do incorrectly.

Source code in Powershell (should be useful source code in C# too):

$verifydumpkey = Test-Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps"
 
    if ($verifydumpkey -eq $false )
    {
    New-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\windows\Windows Error Reporting\" -Name LocalDumps
    }
 
##### adding the values
 
$dumpkey = "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps"
 
New-ItemProperty $dumpkey -Name "DumpFolder" -Value $Folder -PropertyType "ExpandString" -Force
New-ItemProperty $dumpkey -Name "DumpCount" -Value 10 -PropertyType "Dword" -Force
New-ItemProperty $dumpkey -Name "DumpType" -Value 2 -PropertyType "Dword" -Force

Conditionally ignoring tests in JUnit 4

The JUnit way is to do this at run-time is org.junit.Assume.

 @Before
 public void beforeMethod() {
     org.junit.Assume.assumeTrue(someCondition());
     // rest of setup.
 }

You can do it in a @Before method or in the test itself, but not in an @After method. If you do it in the test itself, your @Before method will get run. You can also do it within @BeforeClass to prevent class initialization.

An assumption failure causes the test to be ignored.

Edit: To compare with the @RunIf annotation from junit-ext, their sample code would look like this:

@Test
public void calculateTotalSalary() {
    assumeThat(Database.connect(), is(notNull()));
    //test code below.
}

Not to mention that it is much easier to capture and use the connection from the Database.connect() method this way.

How to truncate float values?

int(16.5); this will give an integer value of 16, i.e. trunc, won't be able to specify decimals, but guess you can do that by

    return int(invalue*math.pow(10,digits))/math.pow(10,digits);

Convert array values from string to int?

So I was curious about the performance of some of the methods mentioned in the answers for large number of integers.

Preparation

Just creating an array of 1 million random integers between 0 and 100. Than, I imploded them to get the string.

  $integers = array();

  for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) {
      $integers[] = rand(0, 100);
  }

  $long_string = implode(',', $integers);

Method 1

This is the one liner from Mark's answer:

$integerIDs = array_map('intval', explode(',', $long_string));

Method 2

This is the JSON approach:

  $integerIDs = json_decode('[' . $long_string . ']', true);

Method 3

I came up with this one as modification of Mark's answer. This is still using explode() function, but instead of calling array_map() I'm using regular foreach loop to do the work to avoid the overhead array_map() might have. I am also parsing with (int) vs intval(), but I tried both, and there is not much difference in terms of performance.

  $result_array = array();
  $strings_array = explode(',', $long_string);

  foreach ($strings_array as $each_number) {
      $result_array[] = (int) $each_number;
  }

Results:

Method 1        Method 2        Method 3

The bottom line is the average. It looks like the first method was a little slower for 1 million integers, but I didn't notice 3x performance gain of Method 2 as stated in the answer. It turned out foreach loop was the quickest one in my case. I've done the benchmarking with Xdebug.

Edit: It's been a while since the answer was originally posted. To clarify, the benchmark was done in php 5.6.

Can not connect to local PostgreSQL

My gut feeling is that this is (again) a mac/OSX-thing: the front end and the back end assume a different location for the unix-domain socket (which functions as a rendezvous point).

Checklist:

  • Is postgres running: ps aux | grep postgres | grep -v grep should do the trick
  • Where is the socket located: find / -name .s.PGSQL.5432 -ls (the socket used to be in /tmp; you could start looking there)
  • even if you locate the (unix-domain) socket, the client could use a different location. (this happens if you mix distributions, or of you have a distribution installed someplace and have another (eg from source) installation elsewhere), with client and server using different rendez-vous addresses.

If postgres is running, and the socket actually exists, you could use:

  • psql -h /the/directory/where/the/socket/was/found mydbname

(which attempts to connect to the unix-domain socket)

; you should now get the psql prompt: try \d and then \q to quit. You could also try:

  • psql -h localhost mydbname.

(which attempts to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1)

If these attempts fail because of insufficient authorisation, you could alter pg_hba.conf (and SIGHUP or restart) In this case: also check the logs.

A similar question: Can't get Postgres started

Note: If you can get to the psql prompt, the quick fix to this problem is just to change your config/database.yml, add:

host: localhost

or you could try adding:

host: /the/directory/where/the/socket/was/found

In my case, host: /tmp

Make elasticsearch only return certain fields?

WPF MVVM: How to close a window

I use the Publish Subscribe pattern for complicated class-dependencies:

ViewModel:

    public class ViewModel : ViewModelBase
    {
        public ViewModel()
        {
            CloseComand = new DelegateCommand((obj) =>
                {
                    MessageBus.Instance.Publish(Messages.REQUEST_DEPLOYMENT_SETTINGS_CLOSED, null);
                });
        }
}

Window:

public partial class SomeWindow : Window
{
    Subscription _subscription = new Subscription();

    public SomeWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        _subscription.Subscribe(Messages.REQUEST_DEPLOYMENT_SETTINGS_CLOSED, obj =>
            {
                this.Close();
            });
    }
}

You can leverage Bizmonger.Patterns to get the MessageBus.

How can I disable a button in a jQuery dialog from a function?

You are all over complicating a simple task; the jQueryUI dialog has two ways to set buttons for a reason.

If you only need to set the click handler for each button, use the option that takes an Object argument. For disabling buttons and provide other attributes, use the option that takes an Array argument.

The following example will disable a button, and update its state correctly by applying all of the jQueryUI CSS classes and attributes.

Step 1 - Create your dialog with an Array of buttons:

// Create a dialog with two buttons; "Done" and "Cancel".
$(".selector").dialog({ buttons: [
    {
        id: "done"
        text: "Done",
        click: function() { ... }
    },
    {
        id: "cancel"
        text: "Cancel",
        click: function() { ... }
    }
] });

Step 2 - Enable/disable the Done button after the dialog is created:

// Get the dialog buttons.
var dialogButtons = $( ".selector" ).dialog("option", "buttons");

// Find and disable the "Done" button.
$.each(buttons, function (buttonIndex, button) {
    if (button.id === "done") {
        button.disabled = true;
    }
})

// Update the dialog buttons.
$(".selector").dialog("option", "buttons", dialogButtons);

Set Icon Image in Java

Your problem is often due to looking in the wrong place for the image, or if your classes and images are in a jar file, then looking for files where files don't exist. I suggest that you use resources to get rid of the second problem.

e.g.,

// the path must be relative to your *class* files
String imagePath = "res/Image.png";
InputStream imgStream = Game.class.getResourceAsStream(imagePath );
BufferedImage myImg = ImageIO.read(imgStream);
// ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(myImg);

// use icon here
game.frame.setIconImage(myImg);

MYSQL import data from csv using LOAD DATA INFILE

let suppose you are using xampp and phpmyadmin

you have file name 'ratings.txt' table name 'ratings' and database name 'movies'

if your xampp is installed in "C:\xampp\"

copy your "ratings.txt" file in "C:\xampp\mysql\data\movies" folder

LOAD DATA INFILE 'ratings.txt' INTO TABLE ratings FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES;

Hope this can help you to omit your error if you are doing this on localhost

How to pass multiple values to single parameter in stored procedure

This can not be done easily. There's no way to make an NVARCHAR parameter take "more than one value". What I've done before is - as you do already - make the parameter value like a list with comma-separated values. Then, split this string up into its parts in the stored procedure.

Splitting up can be done using string functions. Add every part to a temporary table. Pseudo-code for this could be:

CREATE TABLE #TempTable (ID INT)
WHILE LEN(@PortfolioID) > 0
BEGIN
    IF NOT <@PortfolioID contains Comma>
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO #TempTable VALUES CAST(@PortfolioID as INT)
        SET @PortfolioID = ''
    END ELSE
    BEGIN
         INSERT INTO #Temptable VALUES CAST(<Part until next comma> AS INT)
         SET @PortfolioID = <Everything after the next comma>
    END
END

Then, change your condition to

WHERE PortfolioId IN (SELECT ID FROM #TempTable)

EDIT
You may be interested in the documentation for multi value parameters in SSRS, which states:

You can define a multivalue parameter for any report parameter that you create. However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a data source by using the query, the following requirements must be satisfied:

The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, Analysis Services, SAP BI NetWeaver, or Hyperion Essbase.

The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalue parameter array to a stored procedure.

The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.

This I found here.

How do I change the ID of a HTML element with JavaScript?

It does work in Firefox (including 2.0.0.20). See http://jsbin.com/akili (add /edit to the url to edit):

<p id="one">One</p>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('one').id = 'two'; return false">Link2</a>

The first click changes the id to "two", the second click errors because the element with id="one" now can't be found!

Perhaps you have another element already with id="two" (FYI you can't have more than one element with the same id).

JQuery Parsing JSON array

Use the parseJSON method:

var json = '["City1","City2","City3"]';
var arr = $.parseJSON(json);

Then you have an array with the city names.

How set the android:gravity to TextView from Java side in Android

You should use textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);.

Remember that using

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams2.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;

won't work. This will set the gravity for the widget and not for it's text.

Controlling Spacing Between Table Cells

Use border-collapse and border-spacing to get spaces between the table cells. I would not recommend using floating cells as suggested by QQping.

    'nested list': nested_list
}

# convert them to JSON data and then print it
print('String :', json.dumps(str_data))
print('Integer :', json.dumps(int_data))
print('Float :', json.dumps(float_data))
print('List :', json.dumps(list_data))
print('Nested List :', json.dumps(nested_list, indent=4))
print('Dictionary :', json.dumps(dictionary, indent=4))  # the json data will be indented

output:

How to simulate a button click using code?

Starting with API15, you can use also callOnClick() that directly call attached view OnClickListener. Unlike performClick(), this only calls the listener, and does not do any associated clicking actions like reporting an accessibility event.

Delete all lines beginning with a # from a file

This can be done with a sed one-liner:

sed '/^#/d'

This says, "find all lines that start with # and delete them, leaving everything else."

Get page title with Selenium WebDriver using Java

It could be done by getting the page title by Selenium and do assertion by using TestNG.

  1. Import Assert class in the import section:

    `import org.testng.Assert;`
    
  2. Create a WebDriver object:

    WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

  3. Apply this to assert the title of the page:

    Assert.assertEquals("Expected page title", driver.getTitle());

Accessing nested JavaScript objects and arrays by string path

Here I offer more ways, which seem faster in many respects:

Option 1: Split string on . or [ or ] or ' or ", reverse it, skip empty items.

function getValue(path, origin) {
    if (origin === void 0 || origin === null) origin = self ? self : this;
    if (typeof path !== 'string') path = '' + path;
    var parts = path.split(/\[|\]|\.|'|"/g).reverse(), name; // (why reverse? because it's usually faster to pop off the end of an array)
    while (parts.length) { name=parts.pop(); if (name) origin=origin[name]; }
    return origin;
}

Option 2 (fastest of all, except eval): Low level character scan (no regex/split/etc, just a quick char scan). Note: This one does not support quotes for indexes.

function getValue(path, origin) {
    if (origin === void 0 || origin === null) origin = self ? self : this;
    if (typeof path !== 'string') path = '' + path;
    var c = '', pc, i = 0, n = path.length, name = '';
    if (n) while (i<=n) ((c = path[i++]) == '.' || c == '[' || c == ']' || c == void 0) ? (name?(origin = origin[name], name = ''):(pc=='.'||pc=='['||pc==']'&&c==']'?i=n+2:void 0),pc=c) : name += c;
    if (i==n+2) throw "Invalid path: "+path;
    return origin;
} // (around 1,000,000+/- ops/sec)

Option 3: (new: option 2 expanded to support quotes - a bit slower, but still fast)

function getValue(path, origin) {
    if (origin === void 0 || origin === null) origin = self ? self : this;
    if (typeof path !== 'string') path = '' + path;
    var c, pc, i = 0, n = path.length, name = '', q;
    while (i<=n)
        ((c = path[i++]) == '.' || c == '[' || c == ']' || c == "'" || c == '"' || c == void 0) ? (c==q&&path[i]==']'?q='':q?name+=c:name?(origin?origin=origin[name]:i=n+2,name='') : (pc=='['&&(c=='"'||c=="'")?q=c:pc=='.'||pc=='['||pc==']'&&c==']'||pc=='"'||pc=="'"?i=n+2:void 0), pc=c) : name += c;
    if (i==n+2 || name) throw "Invalid path: "+path;
    return origin;
}

JSPerf: http://jsperf.com/ways-to-dereference-a-delimited-property-string/3

"eval(...)" is still king though (performance wise that is). If you have property paths directly under your control, there shouldn't be any issues with using 'eval' (especially if speed is desired). If pulling property paths "over the wire" (on the line!? lol :P), then yes, use something else to be safe. Only an idiot would say to never use "eval" at all, as there ARE good reasons when to use it. Also, "It is used in Doug Crockford's JSON parser." If the input is safe, then no problems at all. Use the right tool for the right job, that's it.

How to convert an image to base64 encoding?

Easy:

$imagedata = file_get_contents("/path/to/image.jpg");
             // alternatively specify an URL, if PHP settings allow
$base64 = base64_encode($imagedata);

bear in mind that this will enlarge the data by 33%, and you'll have problems with files whose size exceed your memory_limit.

Timeout on a function call

Here is a slight improvement to the given thread-based solution.

The code below supports exceptions:

def runFunctionCatchExceptions(func, *args, **kwargs):
    try:
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
    except Exception, message:
        return ["exception", message]

    return ["RESULT", result]


def runFunctionWithTimeout(func, args=(), kwargs={}, timeout_duration=10, default=None):
    import threading
    class InterruptableThread(threading.Thread):
        def __init__(self):
            threading.Thread.__init__(self)
            self.result = default
        def run(self):
            self.result = runFunctionCatchExceptions(func, *args, **kwargs)
    it = InterruptableThread()
    it.start()
    it.join(timeout_duration)
    if it.isAlive():
        return default

    if it.result[0] == "exception":
        raise it.result[1]

    return it.result[1]

Invoking it with a 5 second timeout:

result = timeout(remote_calculate, (myarg,), timeout_duration=5)

Ajax Success and Error function failure

One also may use the following to catch the errors:

$.ajax({
    url: url, 
    success: function (data) {
        // Handle success here
        $('#editor-content-container').html(data);
        $('#editor-container').modal('show');
    },
    cache: false
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, error) {
    // Handle error here
    $('#editor-content-container').html(jqXHR.responseText);
    $('#editor-container').modal('show');
});

Responsive iframe using Bootstrap

Option 3

To update current iframe

$("iframe").wrap('<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"/>');
$("iframe").addClass('embed-responsive-item');

CSS performance relative to translateZ(0)

CSS transformations create a new stacking context and containing block, as described in the spec. In plain English, this means that fixed position elements with a transformation applied to them will act more like absolutely positioned elements, and z-index values are likely to get screwed with.

If you take a look at this demo, you'll see what I mean. The second div has a transformation applied to it, meaning that it creates a new stacking context, and the pseudo elements are stacked on top rather than below.

So basically, don't do that. Apply a 3D transformation only when you need the optimization. -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; is another way to tap into 3D acceleration without creating these problems, but it only works in Safari.

How to assign text size in sp value using java code

By default setTextSize, without units work in SP (scales pixel)

public void setTextSize (float size) 
Added in API level 1
Set the default text size to the given value, interpreted as "scaled pixel" units. This 
size is adjusted based on the current density and user font size preference.

Removing duplicates from rows based on specific columns in an RDD/Spark DataFrame

Agree with David. To add on, it may not be the case that we want to groupBy all columns other than the column(s) in aggregate function i.e, if we want to remove duplicates purely based on a subset of columns and retain all columns in the original dataframe. So the better way to do this could be using dropDuplicates Dataframe api available in Spark 1.4.0

For reference, see: https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.4.0/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC)

For all of those, who still experiencing this problem, I just spent 2 days tracking down the bloody thing. I was getting the same error when there was no rows in dataset. Seems obvious, but error message is very obscure, hence 2 days.

What is the correct way to represent null XML elements?

In many cases the purpose of a Null value is to serve for a data value that was not present in a previous version of your application.

So say you have an xml file from your application "ReportMaster" version 1.

Now in ReportMaster version 2 a some more attributes have been added that may or not be defined.

If you use the 'no tag means null' representation you get automatic backward compatibility for reading your ReportMaster 1 xml file.

PHP - Getting the index of a element from a array

function Index($index) {
    $Count = count($YOUR_ARRAY);
    if ($index <= $Count) {
        $Keys = array_keys($YOUR_ARRAY);
        $Value = array_values($YOUR_ARRAY);
        return $Keys[$index] . ' = ' . $Value[$index];
    } else {
        return "Out of the ring";
    }
}

echo 'Index : ' . Index(0);

Replace the ( $YOUR_ARRAY )

jquery disable form submit on enter

Usually form is submitted on Enter when you have focus on input elements.

We can disable Enter key (code 13) on input elements within a form:

$('form input').on('keypress', function(e) {
    return e.which !== 13;
});

ImportError: No module named pandas

As of Dec 2020, I had the same issue when installing python v 3.8.6 via pyenv. So, I started by:

  1. Installing pyenv via homebrew brew install pyenv
  2. Install xz compiling package via brew install xz
  3. pyenv install 3.8.6 pick the required version
  4. pyenv global 3.8.6 make this version as global
  5. python -m pip install -U pip to upgrade pip
  6. pip install virtualenv

After that, I initialized my new env, installed pandas via pip command, and everything worked again. The panda's version installed is 1.1.5 within my working project directory. I hope that might help!

Note: If you have installed python before xz, make sure to uninstall it first, otherwise the error might persist.

Convert varchar to uniqueidentifier in SQL Server

It would make for a handy function. Also, note I'm using STUFF instead of SUBSTRING.

create function str2uniq(@s varchar(50)) returns uniqueidentifier as begin
    -- just in case it came in with 0x prefix or dashes...
    set @s = replace(replace(@s,'0x',''),'-','')
    -- inject dashes in the right places
    set @s = stuff(stuff(stuff(stuff(@s,21,0,'-'),17,0,'-'),13,0,'-'),9,0,'-')
    return cast(@s as uniqueidentifier)
end

How to link an image and target a new window

If you use script to navigate to the page, use the open method with the target _blank to open a new window / tab:

<img src="..." alt="..." onclick="window.open('anotherpage.html', '_blank');" />

However, if you want search engines to find the page, you should just wrap the image in a regular link instead.

How do I get the logfile from an Android device?

First make sure adb command is executable by setting PATH to android sdk platform-tools:

export PATH=/Users/espireinfolabs/Desktop/soft/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools:$PATH

then run:

adb shell logcat > log.txt

OR first move to adb platform-tools:

cd /Users/user/Android/Tools/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools 

then run

./adb shell logcat > log.txt

Extract first item of each sublist

You said that you have an existing list. So I'll go with that.

>>> lst1 = [['a','b','c'], [1,2,3], ['x','y','z']]
>>> lst2 = [1, 2, 3]

Right now you are appending the generator object to your second list.

>>> lst2.append(item[0] for item in lst)
>>> lst2
[1, 2, 3, <generator object <genexpr> at 0xb74b3554>]

But you probably want it to be a list of first items

>>> lst2.append([item[0] for item in lst])
>>> lst2
[1, 2, 3, ['a', 1, 'x']]

Now we appended the list of first items to the existing list. If you'd like to add the items themeselves, not a list of them, to the existing ones, you'd use list.extend. In that case we don't have to worry about adding a generator, because extend will use that generator to add each item it gets from there, to extend the current list.

>>> lst2.extend(item[0] for item in lst)
>>> lst2
[1, 2, 3, 'a', 1, 'x']

or

>>> lst2 + [x[0] for x in lst]
[1, 2, 3, 'a', 1, 'x']
>>> lst2
[1, 2, 3]

Is there an easy way to convert jquery code to javascript?

I can see a reason, unrelated to the original post, to automatically compile jQuery code into standard JavaScript:

16k -- or whatever the gzipped, minified jQuery library is -- might be too much for your website that is intended for a mobile browser. The w3c is recommending that all HTTP requests for mobile websites should be a maximum of 20k.

w3c specs for mobile

So I enjoy coding in my nice, terse, chained jQuery. But now I need to optimize for mobile. Should I really go back and do the difficult, tedious work of rewriting all the helper functions I used in the jQuery library? Or is there some kind of convenient app that will help me recompile?

That would be very sweet. Sadly, I don't think such a thing exists.

Computational complexity of Fibonacci Sequence

Recursive algorithm's time complexity can be better estimated by drawing recursion tree, In this case the recurrence relation for drawing recursion tree would be T(n)=T(n-1)+T(n-2)+O(1) note that each step takes O(1) meaning constant time,since it does only one comparison to check value of n in if block.Recursion tree would look like

          n
   (n-1)      (n-2)
(n-2)(n-3) (n-3)(n-4) ...so on

Here lets say each level of above tree is denoted by i hence,

i
0                        n
1            (n-1)                 (n-2)
2        (n-2)    (n-3)      (n-3)     (n-4)
3   (n-3)(n-4) (n-4)(n-5) (n-4)(n-5) (n-5)(n-6)

lets say at particular value of i, the tree ends, that case would be when n-i=1, hence i=n-1, meaning that the height of the tree is n-1. Now lets see how much work is done for each of n layers in tree.Note that each step takes O(1) time as stated in recurrence relation.

2^0=1                        n
2^1=2            (n-1)                 (n-2)
2^2=4        (n-2)    (n-3)      (n-3)     (n-4)
2^3=8   (n-3)(n-4) (n-4)(n-5) (n-4)(n-5) (n-5)(n-6)    ..so on
2^i for ith level

since i=n-1 is height of the tree work done at each level will be

i work
1 2^1
2 2^2
3 2^3..so on

Hence total work done will sum of work done at each level, hence it will be 2^0+2^1+2^2+2^3...+2^(n-1) since i=n-1. By geometric series this sum is 2^n, Hence total time complexity here is O(2^n)

How to simulate a click with JavaScript?

This isn't very well documented, but we can trigger any kinds of events very simply.

This example will trigger 50 double click on the button:

_x000D_
_x000D_
let theclick = new Event("dblclick")

for (let i = 0;i < 50;i++){
  action.dispatchEvent(theclick) 
}
_x000D_
<button id="action" ondblclick="out.innerHTML+='Wtf '">TEST</button>
<div id="out"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The Event interface represents an event which takes place in the DOM.

An event can be triggered by the user action e.g. clicking the mouse button or tapping keyboard, or generated by APIs to represent the progress of an asynchronous task. It can also be triggered programmatically, such as by calling the HTMLElement.click() method of an element, or by defining the event, then sending it to a specified target using EventTarget.dispatchEvent().

jQuery event handlers always execute in order they were bound - any way around this?

I'm assuming you are talking about the event bubbling aspect of it. It would be helpful to see your HTML for the said span elements as well. I can't see why you'd want to change the core behavior like this, I don't find it at all annoying. I suggest going with your second block of code:

$('span').click(function (){
  doStuff2();
  doStuff1();
});

Most importantly I think you'll find it more organized if you manage all the events for a given element in the same block like you've illustrated. Can you explain why you find this annoying?

Are there any standard exit status codes in Linux?

Part 1: Advanced Bash Scripting Guide

As always, the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide has great information: (This was linked in another answer, but to a non-canonical URL.)

1: Catchall for general errors
2: Misuse of shell builtins (according to Bash documentation)
126: Command invoked cannot execute
127: "command not found"
128: Invalid argument to exit
128+n: Fatal error signal "n"
255: Exit status out of range (exit takes only integer args in the range 0 - 255)

AngularJS : Factory and Service?

Service vs Factory


enter image description here enter image description here

The difference between factory and service is just like the difference between a function and an object

Factory Provider

  • Gives us the function's return value ie. You just create an object, add properties to it, then return that same object.When you pass this service into your controller, those properties on the object will now be available in that controller through your factory. (Hypothetical Scenario)

  • Singleton and will only be created once

  • Reusable components

  • Factory are a great way for communicating between controllers like sharing data.

  • Can use other dependencies

  • Usually used when the service instance requires complex creation logic

  • Cannot be injected in .config() function.

  • Used for non configurable services

  • If you're using an object, you could use the factory provider.

  • Syntax: module.factory('factoryName', function);

Service Provider

  • Gives us the instance of a function (object)- You just instantiated with the ‘new’ keyword and you’ll add properties to ‘this’ and the service will return ‘this’.When you pass the service into your controller, those properties on ‘this’ will now be available on that controller through your service. (Hypothetical Scenario)

  • Singleton and will only be created once

  • Reusable components

  • Services are used for communication between controllers to share data

  • You can add properties and functions to a service object by using the this keyword

  • Dependencies are injected as constructor arguments

  • Used for simple creation logic

  • Cannot be injected in .config() function.

  • If you're using a class you could use the service provider

  • Syntax: module.service(‘serviceName’, function);

Sample Demo

In below example I have define MyService and MyFactory. Note how in .service I have created the service methods using this.methodname. In .factory I have created a factory object and assigned the methods to it.

AngularJS .service


module.service('MyService', function() {

    this.method1 = function() {
            //..method1 logic
        }

    this.method2 = function() {
            //..method2 logic
        }
});

AngularJS .factory


module.factory('MyFactory', function() {

    var factory = {}; 

    factory.method1 = function() {
            //..method1 logic
        }

    factory.method2 = function() {
            //..method2 logic
        }

    return factory;
});

I have nothing to do something special.Only Open the debug.properties file edit target=android-APILEVEl.Like suppose it is default target=android-8 you can edit it target=android-4.Then build the project.Again edit target=android-8.Again edit it.Now you can see there have no error in your project.

How to create a sticky navigation bar that becomes fixed to the top after scrolling

For Bootstrap 4, a new class was released for this. According to the utilties docs:

Apply the class sticky-top.

<div class="sticky-top">...</div>

For further navbar position options, visit here. Also, keep in mind that position: sticky; is not supported in every browser so this may not be the best solution for you if you need to support older browsers.

if statement checks for null but still throws a NullPointerException

You can use StringUtils:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

if (StringUtils.isBlank(str)) {

System.out.println("String is empty");

} else { 

System.out.println("String is not empty");

}

Have a look here also: StringUtils.isBlank() vs String.isEmpty()

isBlank examples:

StringUtils.isBlank(null)      = true
StringUtils.isBlank("")        = true  
StringUtils.isBlank(" ")       = true  
StringUtils.isBlank("bob")     = false  
StringUtils.isBlank("  bob  ") = false

C++ floating point to integer type conversions

Normal way is to:

float f = 3.4;
int n = static_cast<int>(f);

Convert Map<String,Object> to Map<String,String>

There are two ways to do this. One is very simple but unsafe:

Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
Map<String, String> newMap = new HashMap<String, String>((Map)map);  // unchecked warning

The other way has no compiler warnings and ensures type safety at runtime, which is more robust. (After all, you can't guarantee the original map contains only String values, otherwise why wouldn't it be Map<String, String> in the first place?)

Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
Map<String, String> newMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") Map<String, Object> intermediate =
    (Map)Collections.checkedMap(newMap, String.class, String.class);
intermediate.putAll(map);

How to import data from text file to mysql database

LOAD DATA INFILE '/home/userlap/data2/worldcitiespop.txt' INTO TABLE cc FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','LINES TERMINATED BY '\r \n' IGNORE 1 LINES;
  • IGNORE 1 LINES to skip over an initial header line containing column names
  • FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' is to read the comma-delimited file
  • If you have generated the text file on a Windows system, you might have to use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' to read the file properly, because Windows programs typically use two characters as a line terminator. Some programs, such as WordPad, might use \r as a line terminator when writing files. To read such files, use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'.

Postgresql -bash: psql: command not found

In case you are running it on Fedora or CentOS, this is what worked for me (PostgreSQL 9.6):

Defaults    secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

to

Defaults    secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin

exit, then:

$ printenv PATH

$ sudo su postgres

$ psql

To exit postgreSQL terminal, you need to digit:

jQuery UI Dialog with ASP.NET button postback

Be aware that there is an additional setting in jQuery UI v1.10. There is an appendTo setting that has been added, to address the ASP.NET workaround you're using to re-add the element to the form.

     width: 440,
     modal: true,
     **appendTo**:"form"

How to check if dropdown is disabled?

I was searching for something like this, because I've got to check which of all my selects are disabled.

So I use this:

    const element = select[i];
    if(element.disabled == true ){
        console.log(element)
    }
}

Get method arguments using Spring AOP?

You have a few options:

First, you can use the JoinPoint#getArgs() method which returns an Object[] containing all the arguments of the advised method. You might have to do some casting depending on what you want to do with them.

Second, you can use the args pointcut expression like so:

// use '..' in the args expression if you have zero or more parameters at that point
@Before("execution(* com.mkyong.customer.bo.CustomerBo.addCustomer(..)) && args(yourString,..)")

then your method can instead be defined as

public void logBefore(JoinPoint joinPoint, String yourString)

How do I perform a GROUP BY on an aliased column in MS-SQL Server?

My guess is:

SELECT       LastName + ', ' + FirstName AS 'FullName'
FROM         customers
GROUP BY     LastName + ', ' + FirstName

Oracle has a similar limitation, which is annoying. I'm curious if there exists a better solution.

To answer the second half of the question, this limitation applies to more complex expressions such as your case statement as well. The best suggestion I've seen it to use a sub-select to name the complex expression.

Difference between Eclipse Europa, Helios, Galileo

The Eclipse (software) page on Wikipedia summarizes it pretty well:

Releases

Since 2006, the Eclipse Foundation has coordinated an annual Simultaneous Release. Each release includes the Eclipse Platform as well as a number of other Eclipse projects. Until the Galileo release, releases were named after the moons of the solar system.

So far, each Simultaneous Release has occurred at the end of June.

Release         Main Release   Platform version      Projects
Photon          27 June 2018     4.8
Oxygen          28 June 2017     4.7                 
Neon            22 June 2016     4.6                 
Mars            24 June 2015     4.5                 Mars Projects
Luna            25 June 2014     4.4                 Luna Projects
Kepler          26 June 2013     4.3                 Kepler Projects
Juno            27 June 2012     4.2                 Juno Projects
Indigo          22 June 2011     3.7                 Indigo projects
Helios          23 June 2010     3.6                 Helios projects
Galileo         24 June 2009     3.5                 Galileo projects
Ganymede        25 June 2008     3.4                 Ganymede projects
Europa          29 June 2007     3.3                 Europa projects
Callisto        30 June 2006     3.2                 Callisto projects
Eclipse 3.1     28 June 2005     3.1  
Eclipse 3.0     28 June 2004     3.0  

To summarize, Helios, Galileo, Ganymede, etc are just code names for versions of the Eclipse platform (personally, I'd prefer Eclipse to use traditional version numbers instead of code names, it would make things clearer and easier). My suggestion would be to use the latest version, i.e. Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) (in the original version of this answer, it said "Helios (3.6.1)").

On top of the "platform", Eclipse then distributes various Packages (i.e. the "platform" with a default set of plugins to achieve specialized tasks), such as Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, etc (see this link for a comparison of their content).

To develop Java Desktop applications, the Helios release of Eclipse IDE for Java Developers should suffice (you can always install "additional plugins" if required).

PHP Excel Header

You are giving multiple Content-Type headers. application/vnd.ms-excel is enough.

And there are couple of syntax error too. To statement termination with ; on the echo statement and wrong filename extension.

How to use variables in SQL statement in Python?

Different implementations of the Python DB-API are allowed to use different placeholders, so you'll need to find out which one you're using -- it could be (e.g. with MySQLdb):

cursor.execute("INSERT INTO table VALUES (%s, %s, %s)", (var1, var2, var3))

or (e.g. with sqlite3 from the Python standard library):

cursor.execute("INSERT INTO table VALUES (?, ?, ?)", (var1, var2, var3))

or others yet (after VALUES you could have (:1, :2, :3) , or "named styles" (:fee, :fie, :fo) or (%(fee)s, %(fie)s, %(fo)s) where you pass a dict instead of a map as the second argument to execute). Check the paramstyle string constant in the DB API module you're using, and look for paramstyle at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ to see what all the parameter-passing styles are!

Converting from hex to string

Like so?

static void Main()
{
    byte[] data = FromHex("47-61-74-65-77-61-79-53-65-72-76-65-72");
    string s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data); // GatewayServer
}
public static byte[] FromHex(string hex)
{
    hex = hex.Replace("-", "");
    byte[] raw = new byte[hex.Length / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < raw.Length; i++)
    {
        raw[i] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i * 2, 2), 16);
    }
    return raw;
}

SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Cannot create an automatic instance

Breaking Changes to LocalDB: Applies to SQL 2014; take a look over this article and try to use (localdb)\mssqllocaldb as server name to connect to the LocalDB automatic instance, for example:

<connectionStrings>
  <add name="ProductsContext" connectionString="Data Source=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb; 
  ...

The article also mentions the use of 2012 SSMS to connect to the 2014 LocalDB. Which leads me to believe that you might have multiple versions of SQL installed - which leads me to point out this SO answer that suggests changing the default name of your LocalDB "instance" to avoid other version mismatch issues that might arise going forward; mentioned not as source of issue, but to raise awareness of potential clashes that multiple SQL version installed on a single dev machine might lead to ... and something to get in the habit of in order to avoid some.

Another thing worth mentioning - if you've gotten your instance in an unusable state due to tinkering with it to try and fix this problem, then it might be worth starting over - uninstall, reinstall - then try using the mssqllocaldb value instead of v12.0 and see if that corrects your issue.

EXCEL VBA Check if entry is empty or not 'space'

A common trick is to check like this:

trim(TextBox1.Value & vbnullstring) = vbnullstring

this will work for spaces, empty strings, and genuine null values

How can I find matching values in two arrays?

Naturally, my approach was to loop through the first array once and check the index of each value in the second array. If the index is > -1, then push it onto the returned array.

?Array.prototype.diff = function(arr2) {
    var ret = [];
    for(var i in this) {   
        if(arr2.indexOf(this[i]) > -1){
            ret.push(this[i]);
        }
    }
    return ret;
};

? My solution doesn't use two loops like others do so it may run a bit faster. If you want to avoid using for..in, you can sort both arrays first to reindex all their values:

Array.prototype.diff = function(arr2) {
    var ret = [];
    this.sort();
    arr2.sort();
    for(var i = 0; i < this.length; i += 1) {
        if(arr2.indexOf(this[i]) > -1){
            ret.push(this[i]);
        }
    }
    return ret;
};

Usage would look like:

var array1 = ["cat", "sum","fun", "run", "hut"];
var array2 = ["bat", "cat","dog","sun", "hut", "gut"];

console.log(array1.diff(array2));

If you have an issue/problem with extending the Array prototype, you could easily change this to a function.

var diff = function(arr, arr2) {

And you'd change anywhere where the func originally said this to arr2.

How to commit a change with both "message" and "description" from the command line?

Use the git commit command without any flags. The configured editor will open (Vim in this case):

enter image description here

To start typing press the INSERT key on your keyboard, then in insert mode create a better commit with description how do you want. For example:

enter image description here

Once you have written all that you need, to returns to git, first you should exit insert mode, for that press ESC. Now close the Vim editor with save changes by typing on the keyboard :wq (w - write, q - quit):

enter image description here

and press ENTER.

On GitHub this commit will looks like this:

enter image description here

As a commit editor you can use VS Code:

git config --global core.editor "code --wait"

From VS Code docs website: VS Code as Git editor

How to download Javadoc to read offline?

F.ex. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/ has a link to download "JDK 7 Documentation" in the sidebar under "Downloads". I'd expect the same for other versions.

Regular expression for 10 digit number without any special characters

Use this regular expression to match ten digits only:

@"^\d{10}$"

To find a sequence of ten consecutive digits anywhere in a string, use:

@"\d{10}"

Note that this will also find the first 10 digits of an 11 digit number. To search anywhere in the string for exactly 10 consecutive digits and not more you can use negative lookarounds:

@"(?<!\d)\d{10}(?!\d)"

Cast Double to Integer in Java

You can do that by using "Narrowing or Explicit type conversion", double ? long ? int. I hope it will work.

double d = 100.04;
long l = (long)d; // Explicit type casting required
int i = (int)l;    // Explicit type casting required

PS: It will give 0 as double has all the decimal values and nothing on the left side. In case of 0.58, it will narrow it down to 0. But for others it will do the magic.

Add CSS or JavaScript files to layout head from views or partial views

Update: basic example available at https://github.com/speier/mvcassetshelper

We are using the following implementation to add JS and CSS files into the layout page.

View or PartialView:

@{
    Html.Assets().Styles.Add("/Dashboard/Content/Dashboard.css");
    Html.Assets().Scripts.Add("/Dashboard/Scripts/Dashboard.js");
}

Layout page:

<head>
    @Html.Assets().Styles.Render()
</head>

<body>
    ...
    @Html.Assets().Scripts.Render()
</body>

HtmlHelper extension:

public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
{
    public static AssetsHelper Assets(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper)
    {
        return AssetsHelper.GetInstance(htmlHelper);
    }    
}

public class AssetsHelper 
{
    public static AssetsHelper GetInstance(HtmlHelper htmlHelper)
    {
        var instanceKey = "AssetsHelperInstance";

        var context = htmlHelper.ViewContext.HttpContext;
        if (context == null) return null;

        var assetsHelper = (AssetsHelper)context.Items[instanceKey];

        if (assetsHelper == null)
            context.Items.Add(instanceKey, assetsHelper = new AssetsHelper());

        return assetsHelper;
    }

    public ItemRegistrar Styles { get; private set; }
    public ItemRegistrar Scripts { get; private set; }

    public AssetsHelper()
    {
        Styles = new ItemRegistrar(ItemRegistrarFormatters.StyleFormat);
        Scripts = new ItemRegistrar(ItemRegistrarFormatters.ScriptFormat);
    }
}

How do I create a basic UIButton programmatically?

Come on, it's 2014! Why isn't code block evaluation assignment being used yet, as trends show it's the future!

UIButton* button = ({
    //initialize button with frame
    UIButton* button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:({
        CGRect frame = CGRectMake(10.0, 10.0, 200.0, 75.0);
        frame;
    })];
    //set button background color
    [button setBackgroundColor:({
        UIColor* color = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0];
        color;
    })];
    //set button title for state
    [button setTitle:({
        NSString* string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"title words"];
        string;
    }) forState:({
        UIControlState state = UIControlStateNormal;
        state;
    })];
    //set selector
    [button addTarget:self action:({
        SEL select = @selector(method:);
        select;
    }) forControlEvents:({
        UIControlEvents event = UIControlEventTouchUpInside;
        event;
    })];
    //return button
    button;
});
[self.view addSubview:button];

whoa!

whoa!

Or the exact results can be accomplished as such:

UIButton* button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0, 10.0, 200.0, 75.0)];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0]];
[button setTitle:@"title words" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(method:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:button];

How can I print the contents of an array horizontally?

The below solution is the simplest one:

Console.WriteLine("[{0}]", string.Join(", ", array));

Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Another short solution:

Array.ForEach(array,  val => Console.Write("{0} ", val));

Output: 1 2 3 4 5. Or if you need to add add ,, use the below:

int i = 0;
Array.ForEach(array,  val => Console.Write(i == array.Length -1) ? "{0}" : "{0}, ", val));

Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Spring transaction REQUIRED vs REQUIRES_NEW : Rollback Transaction

If you really need to do it in separate transaction you need to use REQUIRES_NEW and live with the performance overhead. Watch out for dead locks.

I'd rather do it the other way:

  • Validate data on Java side.
  • Run everyting in one transaction.
  • If anything goes wrong on DB side -> it's a major error of DB or validation design. Rollback everything and throw critical top level error.
  • Write good unit tests.

Most efficient solution for reading CLOB to String, and String to CLOB in Java?

My answer is just a flavor of the same. But I tested it with serializing a zipped content and it worked. So I can trust this solution unlike the one offered first (that use readLine) because it will ignore line breaks and corrupt the input.

/*********************************************************************************************
 * From CLOB to String
 * @return string representation of clob
 *********************************************************************************************/
private String clobToString(java.sql.Clob data)
{
    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    try
    {
        final Reader         reader = data.getCharacterStream();
        final BufferedReader br     = new BufferedReader(reader);

        int b;
        while(-1 != (b = br.read()))
        {
            sb.append((char)b);
        }

        br.close();
    }
    catch (SQLException e)
    {
        log.error("SQL. Could not convert CLOB to string",e);
        return e.toString();
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        log.error("IO. Could not convert CLOB to string",e);
        return e.toString();
    }

    return sb.toString();
}

How to call a function within class?

File input 'accept' attribute - is it useful?

If the browser uses this attribute, it is only as an help for the user, so he won't upload a multi-megabyte file just to see it rejected by the server...
Same for the <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"> tag: if the browser uses it, it won't send the file but an error resulting in UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE (2) error in PHP (not sure how it is handled in other languages).
Note these are helps for the user. Of course, the server must always check the type and size of the file on its end: it is easy to tamper with these values on the client side.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject Error

You have to include one more jar.

xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar

Add this and try.

Note: It is required for the files with .xlsx formats only, not for just .xls formats.

What is an abstract class in PHP?

An abstract class is like the normal class it contains variables it contains protected variables functions it contains constructor only one thing is different it contains abstract method.

The abstract method means an empty method without definition so only one difference in abstract class we can not create an object of abstract class

Abstract must contains the abstract method and those methods must be defined in its inheriting class.

Exception : mockito wanted but not invoked, Actually there were zero interactions with this mock

You need to inject mock inside the class you're testing. At the moment you're interacting with the real object, not with the mock one. You can fix the code in a following way:

void testAbc(){
     myClass.myObj = myInteface;
     myClass.abc();
     verify(myInterface).myMethodToBeVerified(new String("a"), new String("b"));
}

although it would be a wiser choice to extract all initialization code into @Before

@Before
void setUp(){
     myClass = new myClass();
     myClass.myObj = myInteface;
}

@Test
void testAbc(){
     myClass.abc();
     verify(myInterface).myMethodToBeVerified(new String("a"), new String("b"));
}

Is there any option to limit mongodb memory usage?

This can be done with cgroups, by combining knowledge from these two articles: https://www.percona.com/blog/2015/07/01/using-cgroups-to-limit-mysql-and-mongodb-memory-usage/
http://frank2.net/cgroups-ubuntu-14-04/

You can find here a small shell script which will create config and init files for Ubuntu 14.04: http://brainsuckerna.blogspot.com.by/2016/05/limiting-mongodb-memory-usage-with.html

Just like that:

sudo bash -c 'curl -o- http://brains.by/misc/mongodb_memory_limit_ubuntu1404.sh | bash'

print variable and a string in python

From what I know, printing can be done in many ways

Here's what I follow:

Printing string with variables

a = 1
b = "ball"
print("I have", a, b)

Versus printing string with functions

a = 1
b = "ball"
print("I have" + str(a) + str(b))

In this case, str() is a function that takes a variable and spits out what its assigned to as a string

They both yield the same print, but in two different ways. I hope that was helpful

Java: how to initialize String[]?

You need to initialize errorSoon, as indicated by the error message, you have only declared it.

String[] errorSoon;                   // <--declared statement
String[] errorSoon = new String[100]; // <--initialized statement

You need to initialize the array so it can allocate the correct memory storage for the String elements before you can start setting the index.

If you only declare the array (as you did) there is no memory allocated for the String elements, but only a reference handle to errorSoon, and will throw an error when you try to initialize a variable at any index.

As a side note, you could also initialize the String array inside braces, { } as so,

String[] errorSoon = {"Hello", "World"};

which is equivalent to

String[] errorSoon = new String[2];
errorSoon[0] = "Hello";
errorSoon[1] = "World";

How to change the pop-up position of the jQuery DatePicker control

The accepted answer for this question is actually not for the jQuery UI Datepicker. To change the position of the jQuery UI Datepicker just modify .ui-datepicker in the css file. The size of the Datepicker can also be changed in this way, just adjust the font size.

Converting a character code to char (VB.NET)

You could use the Chr(int) function

Cross-browser window resize event - JavaScript / jQuery

I consider the jQuery plugin "jQuery resize event" to be the best solution for this as it takes care of throttling the event so that it works the same across all browsers. It's similar to Andrews answer but better since you can hook the resize event to specific elements/selectors as well as the entire window. It opens up new possibilities to write clean code.

The plugin is available here

There are performance issues if you add a lot of listeners, but for most usage cases it's perfect.

How to get the number of columns in a matrix?

Use the size() function.

>> size(A,2)

Ans =

   3

The second argument specifies the dimension of which number of elements are required which will be '2' if you want the number of columns.

Official documentation.

Removing character in list of strings

lst = [("aaaa8"),("bb8"),("ccc8"),("dddddd8")...]

msg = filter(lambda x : x != "8", lst)

print msg

EDIT: For anyone who came across this post, just for understanding the above removes any elements from the list which are equal to 8.

Supposing we use the above example the first element ("aaaaa8") would not be equal to 8 and so it would be dropped.

To make this (kinda work?) with how the intent of the question was we could perform something similar to this

msg = filter(lambda x: x != "8", map(lambda y: list(y), lst))
  • I am not in an interpreter at the moment so of course mileage may vary, we may have to index so we do list(y[0]) would be the only modification to the above for this explanation purposes.

What this does is split each element of list up into an array of characters so ("aaaa8") would become ["a", "a", "a", "a", "8"].

This would result in a data type that looks like this

msg = [["a", "a", "a", "a"], ["b", "b"]...]

So finally to wrap that up we would have to map it to bring them all back into the same type roughly

msg = list(map(lambda q: ''.join(q), filter(lambda x: x != "8", map(lambda y: list(y[0]), lst))))

I would absolutely not recommend it, but if you were really wanting to play with map and filter, that would be how I think you could do it with a single line.

Automatically scroll down chat div

As I am not master in js but I myself write code which check if user is at bottom. If user is at bottom then chat page will automatically scroll with new message. and if user scroll up then page will not auto scroll to bottom..

JS code -

var checkbottom;
jQuery(function($) {
$('.chat_screen').on('scroll', function() {
    var check = $(this).scrollTop() + $(this).innerHeight() >= $(this) 
[0].scrollHeight;
    if(check) {
       checkbottom = "bottom";
    }
    else {
    checkbottom = "nobottom";
    }
})
});
window.setInterval(function(){
if (checkbottom=="bottom") {
var objDiv = document.getElementById("chat_con");
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
}
}, 500);

html code -

<div id="chat_con" class="chat_screen">
</div>

How can I change all input values to uppercase using Jquery?

Try like below,

$('input[type=text]').val (function () {
    return this.value.toUpperCase();
})

You should use input[type=text] instead of :input or input as I believe your intention are to operate on textbox only.

How can I find out which server hosts LDAP on my windows domain?

If the machine you are on is part of the AD domain, it should have its name servers set to the AD name servers (or hopefully use a DNS server path that will eventually resolve your AD domains). Using your example of dc=domain,dc=com, if you look up domain.com in the AD name servers it will return a list of the IPs of each AD Controller. Example from my company (w/ the domain name changed, but otherwise it's a real example):

    mokey 0 /home/jj33 > nslookup example.ad
    Server:         172.16.2.10
    Address:        172.16.2.10#53

    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.16.6.2
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.16.141.160
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.16.7.9
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.19.1.14
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.19.1.3
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.19.1.11
    Name:   example.ad
    Address: 172.16.3.2

Note I'm actually making the query from a non-AD machine, but our unix name servers know to send queries for our AD domain (example.ad) over to the AD DNS servers.

I'm sure there's a super-slick windowsy way to do this, but I like using the DNS method when I need to find the LDAP servers from a non-windows server.

What is the difference between Step Into and Step Over in a debugger

You can't go through the details of the method by using the step over. If you want to skip the current line, you can use step over, then you only need to press the F6 for only once to move to the next line. And if you think there's someting wrong within the method, use F5 to examine the details.

KERNELBASE.dll Exception 0xe0434352 offset 0x000000000000a49d

0xe0434352 is the SEH code for a CLR exception. If you don't understand what that means, stop and read A Crash Course on the Depths of Win32™ Structured Exception Handling. So your process is not handling a CLR exception. Don't shoot the messenger, KERNELBASE.DLL is just the unfortunate victim. The perpetrator is MyApp.exe.

There should be a minidump of the crash in DrWatson folders with a full stack, it will contain everything you need to root cause the issue.

I suggest you wire up, in your myapp.exe code, AppDomain.UnhandledException and Application.ThreadException, as appropriate.

Oracle: how to set user password unexpire?

ALTER USER scott PROFILE my_profile;

then you can change the password lifetime like this:

ALTER PROFILE my_profile LIMIT
  PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;

I hope that helps.

How to Change Margin of TextView

How do I resolve "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object"?

Viewing unpushed Git commits

If the number of commits that have not been pushed out is a single-digit number, which it often is, the easiest way is:

$ git checkout

git responds by telling you that you are "ahead N commits" relative your origin. So now just keep that number in mind when viewing logs. If you're "ahead by 3 commits", the top 3 commits in the history are still private.

res.sendFile absolute path

res.sendFile( __dirname + "/public/" + "index1.html" );

where __dirname will manage the name of the directory that the currently executing script ( server.js ) resides in.

In order to prevent double clicks I immediately disable the button, and re-enable after the action is executed / cancelled.

private fun showDialog(view: View /*additional parameters*/) {
    view.isEnabled = false

    val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
    builder.setTitle(R.string.your_dialog_title)

    val options = arrayOf("Option A", "Option B")

    builder.setItems(options) { dialog, which ->
        dialog.dismiss()

        when (which) {
            /* execute here your actions */
            0 -> context.toast("Selected option A")
            1 -> context.toast("Selected option B")
        }

        view.isEnabled = true
    }

    builder.setOnCancelListener {
        view.isEnabled = true
    }

    builder.show()
}

You can use this instead of a context variable if you are using it from an Activity.

Listing files in a specific "folder" of a AWS S3 bucket

S3 does not have directories, while you can list files in a pseudo directory manner like you demonstrated, there is no directory "file" per-se.
You may of inadvertently created a data file called users/<user-id>/contacts/<contact-id>/.

Create normal zip file programmatically

You should look into Zip Packages

They are a more structured version of normal ZIP archives, requiring some meta stuff in the root. So other ZIP tools can open a package, but the Sysytem.IO.Packaging API can not open all ZIP files.

}
catch (YourException ex)
{
    errorLabel.Text = ex.Message;
    errorLabel.Visible = true;
}

How do I create a user account for basic authentication?

I know this is a really old question but I wanted to add a bit of explanation that I discovered the hard way (this is n00b information).

"Basic Authentication" shares the same accounts that you have on your local computer or network. If you leave the domain and realm empty, local accounts are what are actually being used. So to add a new account you follow the exact process you would for adding a normal new user account to your local computer (as answered by JoshM or shown here). If you enter a domain and realm you can create network accounts in your local active directory and these are what will be used to log the user in and out.

Because it has been around for so long, basic authentication is generally compatible with any browser/system out there but it does have to major flaws:

  • user and password are sent in the clear (except over SSL)
  • you need to have a user account for each user or client

For more information about basic authentication or user accounts see the following MSDN page.

XPath to select multiple tags

One correct answer is:

/a/b/*[self::c or self::d or self::e]

Do note that this

a/b/*[local-name()='c' or local-name()='d' or local-name()='e']

is both too-long and incorrect. This XPath expression will select nodes like:

OhMy:c

NotWanted:d 

QuiteDifferent:e

java.net.ConnectException: localhost/127.0.0.1:8080 - Connection refused

You just have to use your local (but real) IP address and port number like this:

String webServiceUrl = "http://192.168.X.X:your_virtual_server_port/your_service.php"

And make sure you did set the internet permission within the manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Notepad++ Setting for Disabling Auto-open Previous Files

I read the answers. Then I noticed for me that the check box was already unchecked, but it still always reloaded the files. This is the Settings->Preferences->MISC->"Remember current session for next launch" check box on version 6.3.2. The following got rid of the problem:

1. Check the check box.
2. Exit the program.
3. Start the program again.
4. Uncheck the checkbox.

Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider in Visual Studio 2010 Professional

It works for me thank you. I had this issue when I installed .Net Framework 4.7.1, somehow DbProviderFactories settings under System.Data in machine config got wiped-out. It started working after adding the necessary configuration settings as shown below DataProviderFactories

<system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>

html "data-" attribute as javascript parameter

you might use default parameters in your function and then just pass the entire dataset itself, since the dataset is already a DOMStringMap Object

<div data-uid="aaa" data-name="bbb" data-value="ccc"
onclick="fun(this.dataset)">

<script>
const fun = ({uid:'ddd', name:'eee', value:'fff', other:'default'} = {}) { 
    // 
}
</script>

that way, you can deal with any data-values that got set in the html tag, or use defaults if they weren't set - that kind of thing

maybe not in this situation, but in others, it might be advantageous to put all your preferences in a single data-attribute

<div data-all='{"uid":"aaa","name":"bbb","value":"ccc"}'
onclick="fun(JSON.parse(this.dataset.all))">

there are probably more terse ways of doing that, if you already know certain things about the order of the data

<div data-all="aaa,bbb,ccc" onclick="fun(this.dataset.all.split(','))">

filter items in a python dictionary where keys contain a specific string

How about a dict comprehension:

filtered_dict = {k:v for k,v in d.iteritems() if filter_string in k}

One you see it, it should be self-explanatory, as it reads like English pretty well.

This syntax requires Python 2.7 or greater.

In Python 3, there is only dict.items(), not iteritems() so you would use:

filtered_dict = {k:v for (k,v) in d.items() if filter_string in k}

HTML img onclick Javascript

I think your error was in calling the function.

In your HTML code, onclick is calling the image() function. However, in your script the function is named imgWindow(). Try changing the onclick to imgWindow().

I don't do much JavaScript so if I have missed something, please let me know.

Good Luck!

json.dumps vs flask.jsonify

This is flask.jsonify()

def jsonify(*args, **kwargs):
    if __debug__:
        _assert_have_json()
    return current_app.response_class(json.dumps(dict(*args, **kwargs),
        indent=None if request.is_xhr else 2), mimetype='application/json')

The json module used is either simplejson or json in that order. current_app is a reference to the Flask() object i.e. your application. response_class() is a reference to the Response() class.

What are all possible pos tags of NLTK?

Based on Doug Shore's method but make it more copy-paste friendly

Error: "an object reference is required for the non-static field, method or property..."

Create a class and put all your code in there and call an instance of this class from the Main :

static void Main(string[] args)
{

    MyClass cls  = new MyClass();
    Console.Write("Write a number: ");
    long a= Convert.ToInt64(Console.ReadLine()); // a is the number given by the user
    long av = cls.volteado(a);
    bool isTrue = cls.siprimo(a);
    ......etc

}

Converting list to *args when calling function

*args just means that the function takes a number of arguments, generally of the same type.

what is the difference between XSD and WSDL

WSDL - It contains the Operation such as Methods which a webservice provides.and these method can accept simple data types such as int,float etc and complex data types such as objects ,vectors, arrays etc. so mapping this to an xml datatype xsd are used. and based upon the xsd an user who wants to acccess webservice from different platform can provide the data appropriately.

Refer : ayazroomy-java.blogspot.com to read about basics of webservice.

How to vertically align text inside a flexbox?

RESULT

enter image description here

HTML

<ul class="list">
  <li>This is the text</li>
  <li>This is another text</li>
  <li>This is another another text</li>
</ul>

Use align-items instead of align-self and I also added flex-direction to column.

CSS

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
}

.list {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-direction: column;  /* <--- I added this */
  align-items: center;   /* <--- Change here */
  height: 100px;
  width: 100%;
  background: silver;
}

.list li {  
  background: gold;
  height: 20%; 
}

How to define dimens.xml for every different screen size in android?

Use Scalable DP

Although making a different layout for different screen sizes is theoretically a good idea, it can get very difficult to accommodate for all screen dimensions, and pixel densities. Having over 20+ different dimens.xml files as suggested in the above answers, is not easy to manage at all.

How To Use:

To use sdp:

  1. Include implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.5' in your build.gradle,
  2. Replace any dp value such as 50dp with a @dimen/50_sdp like so:

    <TextView
     android:layout_width="@dimen/_50sdp"
     android:layout_height="@dimen/_50sdp"
     android:text="Hello World!" />
    

How It Works:

sdp scales with the screen size because it is essentially a huge list of different dimens.xml for every possible dp value.

enter image description here

See It In Action:

Here it is on three devices with widely differing screen dimensions, and densities:

enter image description here

Note that the sdp size unit calculation includes some approximation due to some performance and usability constraints.

Place API key in Headers or URL

passing api key in parameters makes it difficult for clients to keep their APIkeys secret, they tend to leak keys on a regular basis. A better approach is to pass it in header of request url.you can set user-key header in your code . For testing your request Url you can use Postman app in google chrome by setting user-key header to your api-key.

How to trigger ngClick programmatically

This solve to me!

ClientResponse response = null;

response = webResource
        .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .get(ClientResponse.class);

    MyClass myclass = response.getEntity(MyClass.class);
    System.out.println(myclass);

What is the use of the JavaScript 'bind' method?

From the MDN docs on Function.prototype.bind() :

The bind() method creates a new function that, when called, has its this keyword set to the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function is called.

So, what does that mean?!

Well, let's take a function that looks like this :

var logProp = function(prop) {
    console.log(this[prop]);
};

Now, let's take an object that looks like this :

var Obj = {
    x : 5,
    y : 10
};

We can bind our function to our object like this :

Obj.log = logProp.bind(Obj);

Now, we can run Obj.log anywhere in our code :

Obj.log('x'); // Output : 5
Obj.log('y'); // Output : 10

This works, because we bound the value of this to our object Obj.


Where it really gets interesting, is when you not only bind a value for this, but also for its argument prop :

Obj.logX = logProp.bind(Obj, 'x');
Obj.logY = logProp.bind(Obj, 'y');

We can now do this :

Obj.logX(); // Output : 5
Obj.logY(); // Output : 10

Unlike with Obj.log, we do not have to pass x or y, because we passed those values when we did our binding.

Send value of submit button when form gets posted

The initial post mentioned buttons. You can also replace the input tags with buttons.

<button type="submit" name="product" value="Tea">Tea</button>
<button type="submit" name="product" value="Coffee">Coffee</button>

The name and value attributes are required to submit the value when the form is submitted (the id attribute is not necessary in this case). The attribute type=submit specifies that clicking on this button causes the form to be submitted.

When the server is handling the submitted form, $_POST['product'] will contain the value "Tea" or "Coffee" depending on which button was clicked.

If you want you can also require the user to confirm before submitting the form (useful when you are implementing a delete button for example).

<button type="submit" name="product" value="Tea" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want tea?');">Tea</button>
<button type="submit" name="product" value="Coffee" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want coffee?');">Coffee</button>
