Run Bash Command from PHP

Your shell_exec is executed by www-data user, from its directory. You can try

putenv("PATH=/home/user/bin/:" .$_ENV["PATH"]."");

Where your script is located in /home/user/bin Later on you can

$output = "<pre>".shell_exec("scriptname v1 v2")."</pre>";
echo $output;

To display the output of command. (Alternatively, without exporting path, try giving entire path of your script instead of just ./script.sh

how to save DOMPDF generated content to file?

I have just used dompdf and the code was a little different but it worked.

Here it is:

require_once("./pdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$files = glob("./pdf/include/*.php");
foreach($files as $file) include_once($file);

$html =
      '<html><body>'.
      '<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
      'templating system.</p>'.
      '</body></html>';

    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
    $dompdf->load_html($html);
    $dompdf->render();
    $output = $dompdf->output();
    file_put_contents('Brochure.pdf', $output);

Only difference here is that all of the files in the include directory are included.

Other than that my only suggestion would be to specify a full directory path for writing the file rather than just the filename.

How to center text vertically with a large font-awesome icon?

if things aren't lining up, a simple line-height: inherit; via CSS on specific i.fa elements that are having alignment issues could do the trick simply enough.

You could also feasibly use a global solution, which due to a slightly higher CSS specificity will override FontAwesome's .fa rule which specifies line-height: 1 without requiring !important on the property:

i.fa {
  line-height: inherit;
}

Just make sure that the above global solution doesn't cause any other issues in places where you might also use FontAwesome icons.

How to get the first five character of a String

If we want only first 5 characters from any field, then this can be achieved by Left Attribute

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 425 Failed to establish connection

You are using the FTP in an active mode.

Setting up the FTP in the active mode can be cumbersome nowadays due to firewalls and NATs.

It's likely because of your local firewall or NAT that the server was not able to connect back to your client to establish data transfer connection.

Or your client is not aware of its external IP address and provides an internal address instead to the server (in PORT command), which the server is obviously not able to use. But it should not be the case, as vsftpd by default rejects data transfer address not identical to source address of FTP control connection (the port_promiscuous directive).

See my article Network Configuration for Active Mode.

If possible, you should use a passive mode as it typically requires no additional setup on a client-side. That's also what the server suggested you by "Consider using PASV". The PASV is an FTP command used to enter the passive mode.

Unfortunately Windows FTP command-line client (the ftp.exe) does not support passive mode at all. It makes it pretty useless nowadays.

Use any other 3rd party Windows FTP command-line client instead. Most other support the passive mode.

For example WinSCP FTP client defaults to the passive mode and there's a guide available for converting Windows FTP script to WinSCP script.

how to use font awesome in own css?

The spirit of Web font is to use cache as much as possible, therefore you should use CDN version between <head></head> instead of hosting yourself:

<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

Also, make sure you loaded your CSS AFTER the above line, or your custom font CSS won't work.

How to draw in JPanel? (Swing/graphics Java)

When working with graphical user interfaces, you need to remember that drawing on a pane is done in the Java AWT/Swing event queue. You can't just use the Graphics object outside the paint()/paintComponent()/etc. methods.

However, you can use a technique called "Frame buffering". Basically, you need to have a BufferedImage and draw directly on it (see it's createGraphics() method; that graphics context you can keep and reuse for multiple operations on a same BufferedImage instance, no need to recreate it all the time, only when creating a new instance). Then, in your JPanel's paintComponent(), you simply need to draw the BufferedImage instance unto the JPanel. Using this technique, you can perform zoom, translation and rotation operations quite easily through affine transformations.

Get the first element of an array

$arr = $array = array( 9 => 'apple', 7 => 'orange', 13 => 'plum' );
echo reset($arr); // echoes 'apple'

If you don't want to lose the current pointer position, just create an alias for the array.

What's the advantage of a Java enum versus a class with public static final fields?

Main reason: Enums help you to write well-structured code where the semantic meaning of parameters is clear and strongly-typed at compile time - for all the reasons other answers have given.

Quid pro quo: in Java out of the box, an Enum's array of members is final. That's normally good as it helps value safety and testing, but in some situations it could be a drawback, for example if you are extending existing base code perhaps from a library. In contrast, if the same data is in a class with static fields you can easily add new instances of that class at runtime (you might also need to write code to add these to any Iterable you have for that class). But this behaviour of Enums can be changed: using reflection you can add new members at runtime or replace existing members, though this should probably only be done in specialised situations where there is no alternative: i.e. it's a hacky solution and may produce unexpected issues, see my answer on Can I add and remove elements of enumeration at runtime in Java.

Change background color of edittext in android

The simplest solution I have found is to change the background color programmatically. This does not require dealing with any 9-patch images:

((EditText) findViewById(R.id.id_nick_name)).getBackground()
    .setColorFilter(Color.<your-desi??red-color>, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

Instantiating a generic class in Java

I could do this in a JUnit Test Setup.

I wanted to test a Hibernate facade so I was looking for a generic way to do it. Note that the facade also implements a generic interface. Here T is the database class and U the primary key. Ifacade<T,U> is a facade to access the database object T with the primary key U.

public abstract class GenericJPAController<T, U, C extends IFacade<T,U>>

{
    protected static EntityManagerFactory emf;

    /* The properties definition is straightforward*/
    protected T testObject;
    protected C facadeManager;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpClass() {


        try {
            emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("my entity manager factory");

        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }

    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownClass() {
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
    /* Get the class name*/
        String className = ((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[2].getTypeName();

        /* Create the instance */
        try {
            facadeManager = (C) Class.forName(className).newInstance();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(GenericJPAController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
        createTestObject();
    }

    public void tearDown() {
    }

What does the clearfix class do in css?

How floats work

When floating elements exist on the page, non-floating elements wrap around the floating elements, similar to how text goes around a picture in a newspaper. From a document perspective (the original purpose of HTML), this is how floats work.

`float` vs `display:inline`

Before the invention of display:inline-block, websites use float to set elements beside each other. float is preferred over display:inline since with the latter, you can't set the element's dimensions (width and height) as well as vertical paddings (top and bottom) - which floated elements can do since they're treated as block elements.

Float problems

The main problem is that we're using float against its intended purpose.

Another is that while float allows side-by-side block-level elements, floats do not impart shape to its container. It's like position:absolute, where the element is "taken out of the layout". For instance, when an empty container contains a floating 100px x 100px <div>, the <div> will not impart 100px in height to the container.

Unlike position:absolute, it affects the content that surrounds it. Content after the floated element will "wrap" around the element. It starts by rendering beside it and then below it, like how newspaper text would flow around an image.

Clearfix to the rescue

What clearfix does is to force content after the floats or the container containing the floats to render below it. There are a lot of versions for clear-fix, but it got its name from the version that's commonly being used - the one that uses the CSS property clear.

Examples

Here are several ways to do clearfix , depending on the browser and use case. One only needs to know how to use the clear property in CSS and how floats render in each browser in order to achieve a perfect cross-browser clear-fix.

What you have

Your provided style is a form of clearfix with backwards compatibility. I found an article about this clearfix. It turns out, it's an OLD clearfix - still catering the old browsers. There is a newer, cleaner version of it in the article also. Here's the breakdown:

The first clearfix you have appends an invisible pseudo-element, which is styled clear:both, between the target element and the next element. This forces the pseudo-element to render below the target, and the next element below the pseudo-element.
The second one appends the style display:inline-block which is not supported by earlier browsers. inline-block is like inline but gives you some properties that block elements, like width, height as well as vertical padding. This was targeted for IE-MAC.
This was the reapplication of display:block due to IE-MAC rule above. This rule was "hidden" from IE-MAC.

All in all, these 3 rules keep the .clearfix working cross-browser, with old browsers in mind.

File name without extension name VBA

To be verbose it the removal of extension is demonstrated for workbooks.. which now have a variety of extensions . . a new unsaved Book1 has no ext . works the same for files

Function WorkbookIsOpen(FWNa$, Optional AnyExt As Boolean = False) As Boolean

Dim wWB As Workbook, WBNa$, PD%
FWNa = Trim(FWNa)
If FWNa <> "" Then
    For Each wWB In Workbooks
        WBNa = wWB.Name
        If AnyExt Then
            PD = InStr(WBNa, ".")
            If PD > 0 Then WBNa = Left(WBNa, PD - 1)
            PD = InStr(FWNa, ".")
            If PD > 0 Then FWNa = Left(FWNa, PD - 1)
            '
            ' the alternative of using split..  see commented out  below
            ' looks neater but takes a bit longer then the pair of instr and left
            ' VBA does about 800,000  of these small splits/sec
            ' and about 20,000,000  Instr Lefts per sec
            ' of course if not checking for other extensions they do not matter
            ' and to any reasonable program
            ' THIS DISCUSSIONOF TIME TAKEN DOES NOT MATTER
            ' IN doing about doing 2000 of this routine per sec

            ' WBNa = Split(WBNa, ".")(0)
            'FWNa = Split(FWNa, ".")(0)
        End If

        If WBNa = FWNa Then
            WorkbookIsOpen = True
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next wWB
End If

End Function

Yahoo Finance API

You may use YQL however yahoo.finance.* tables are not the core yahoo tables. It is an open data table which uses the 'csv api' and converts it to json or xml format. It is more convenient to use but it's not always reliable. I could not use it just a while ago because it the table hits its storage limit or something...

Finding multiple occurrences of a string within a string in Python

The following function finds all the occurrences of a string inside another while informing the position where each occurrence is found.

You can call the function using the test cases in the table below. You can try with words, spaces and numbers all mixed up.

The function works well with overlaping characteres.

|         theString          | aString |
| -------------------------- | ------- |
| "661444444423666455678966" |  "55"   |
| "661444444423666455678966" |  "44"   |
| "6123666455678966"         |  "666"  |
| "66123666455678966"        |  "66"   |

Calling examples:
1. print("Number of occurrences: ", find_all("123666455556785555966", "5555"))
   
   output:
           Found in position:  7
           Found in position:  14
           Number of occurrences:  2
   
2. print("Number of occorrences: ", find_all("Allowed Hello Hollow", "ll "))

   output:
          Found in position:  1
          Found in position:  10
          Found in position:  16
          Number of occurrences:  3

3. print("Number of occorrences: ", find_all("Aaa bbbcd$#@@abWebbrbbbbrr 123", "bbb"))

   output:
         Found in position:  4
         Found in position:  21
         Number of occurrences:  2
         

def find_all(theString, aString):
    count = 0
    i = len(aString)
    x = 0

    while x < len(theString) - (i-1): 
        if theString[x:x+i] == aString:        
            print("Found in position: ", x)
            x=x+i
            count=count+1
        else:
            x=x+1
    return count

MacOSX homebrew mysql root password

I had this problem on a fresh install on Mac. I installed MariaDB with:

brew install mariadb

Then started the service:

brew services start mariadb

I was unable to run 'mysql_secure_installation' as it prompted for the root password. Then I noticed in the install output:

mysql_install_db --verbose --user=jonny --basedir=/usr/local/Cellar/ ....

So I tried logging in as the username specified in the mysql_install_db output and was successful e.g.

mysql -u jonny

Then at the mysql prompt if you want to set a password for the root user:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('ToPsEcReT');

Increasing the maximum number of TCP/IP connections in Linux

There are a couple of variables to set the max number of connections. Most likely, you're running out of file numbers first. Check ulimit -n. After that, there are settings in /proc, but those default to the tens of thousands.

More importantly, it sounds like you're doing something wrong. A single TCP connection ought to be able to use all of the bandwidth between two parties; if it isn't:

Check if your TCP window setting is large enough. Linux defaults are good for everything except really fast inet link (hundreds of mbps) or fast satellite links. What is your bandwidth*delay product?
Check for packet loss using ping with large packets (ping -s 1472 ...)
Check for rate limiting. On Linux, this is configured with tc
Confirm that the bandwidth you think exists actually exists using e.g., iperf
Confirm that your protocol is sane. Remember latency.
If this is a gigabit+ LAN, can you use jumbo packets? Are you?

Possibly I have misunderstood. Maybe you're doing something like Bittorrent, where you need lots of connections. If so, you need to figure out how many connections you're actually using (try netstat or lsof). If that number is substantial, you might:

Have a lot of bandwidth, e.g., 100mbps+. In this case, you may actually need to up the ulimit -n. Still, ~1000 connections (default on my system) is quite a few.
Have network problems which are slowing down your connections (e.g., packet loss)
Have something else slowing you down, e.g., IO bandwidth, especially if you're seeking. Have you checked iostat -x?

Also, if you are using a consumer-grade NAT router (Linksys, Netgear, DLink, etc.), beware that you may exceed its abilities with thousands of connections.

I hope this provides some help. You're really asking a networking question.

How do you stretch an image to fill a <div> while keeping the image's aspect-ratio?

I came across this question searching for a simular problem. I'm making a webpage with responsive design and the width of elements placed on the page is set to a percent of the screen width. The height is set with a vw value.

Since I'm adding posts with PHP and a database backend, pure CSS was out of the question. I did however find the jQuery/javascript solution a bit troblesome, so I came up with a neat (so I think myself at least) solution.

Python regex for integer?

You need to anchor the regex at the start and end of the string:

^[0-9]+$

Explanation:

^      # Start of string
[0-9]+ # one or more digits 0-9
$      # End of string

Create a batch file to copy and rename file

Make a bat file with the following in it:

copy /y C:\temp\log1k.txt C:\temp\log1k_copied.txt

However, I think there are issues if there are spaces in your directory names. Notice this was copied to the same directory, but that doesn't matter. If you want to see how it runs, make another bat file that calls the first and outputs to a log:

C:\temp\test.bat > C:\temp\test.log

(assuming the first bat file was called test.bat and was located in that directory)

What is the difference between vmalloc and kmalloc?

What are the advantages of having a contiguous block of memory? Specifically, why would I need to have a contiguous physical block of memory in a system call? Is there any reason I couldn't just use vmalloc?

From Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" on vmalloc:

kmalloc is the preferred way, as long as you don't need very big areas. The trouble is, if you want to do DMA from/to some hardware device, you'll need to use kmalloc, and you'll probably need bigger chunk. The solution is to allocate memory as soon as possible, before memory gets fragmented.

Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson

Make sure that you place the @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true) annotation to the parent POJO class which you want to populate as a result of parsing the JSON response and not the class where the conversion from JSON to Java Object is taking place.

How/when to generate Gradle wrapper files?

Generating the Gradle Wrapper

Project build gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

// Running 'gradle wrapper' will generate gradlew - Getting gradle wrapper working and using it will save you a lot of pain.
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '2.2' 
}

// Look Google doesn't use Maven Central, they use jcenter now.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Then at the command-line run

gradle wrapper

If you're missing gradle on your system install it or the above won't work. On a Mac it is best to install via Homebrew.

brew install gradle

After you have successfully run the wrapper task and generated gradlew, don't use your system gradle. It will save you a lot of headaches.

./gradlew assemble

What about the gradle plugin seen above?

com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.1

You should set the version to be the latest and you can check the tools page and edit the version accordingly.

See what Android Studio generates

The addition of gradle and the newest Android Studio have changed project layout dramatically. If you have an older project I highly recommend creating a clean one with the latest Android Studio and see what Google considers the standard project.

Android Studio has facilities for importing older projects which can also help.

Truncate Decimal number not Round Off

What format are you wanting the output?

If you're happy with a string then consider the following C# code:

double num = 3.12345;
num.ToString("G3");

The result will be "3.12".

This link might be of use if you're using .NET. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx

I hope that helps....but unless you identify than language you are using and the format in which you want the output it is difficult to suggest an appropriate solution.

Querying Windows Active Directory server using ldapsearch from command line

The short answer is "yes". A sample ldapsearch command to query an Active Directory server is:

ldapsearch \
    -x -h ldapserver.mydomain.com \
    -D "[email protected]" \
    -W \
    -b "cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com" \
    -s sub "(cn=*)" cn mail sn

This would connect to an AD server at hostname ldapserver.mydomain.com as user [email protected], prompt for the password on the command line and show name and email details for users in the cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com subtree.

See Managing LDAP from the Command Line on Linux for more samples. See LDAP Query Basics for Microsoft Exchange documentation for samples using LDAP queries with Active Directory.

Undoing accidental git stash pop

Try using How to recover a dropped stash in Git? to find the stash you popped. I think there are always two commits for a stash, since it preserves the index and the working copy (so often the index commit will be empty). Then git show them to see the diff and use patch -R to unapply them.

What is the difference between Serialization and Marshaling?

My vies is:

Problem: Object belongs to some process(VM) and it's lifetime is the same

Serialisation - transform object state into stream of bytes(JSON, XML...) for saving, sharing, transforming...

Marshalling - contains Serialisation + codebase. Usually it used by Remote procedure call(RPC) -> Java Remote Method Invocation(Java RMI) where you are able to invoke a object's method which is hosted on remote Java processes.

codebase - is a place or URL to class definition where it can be downloaded by ClassLoader. CLASSPATH^[About] is as a local codebase

JVM -> Class Loader -> load class definition -> class

Very simple diagram for RMI

Serialisation - state
Marshalling - state + class definition

QR Code encoding and decoding using zxing

For what it's worth, my groovy spike seems to work with both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 character encodings. Not sure what will happen when a non zxing decoder tries to decode the UTF-8 encoded image though... probably varies depending on the device.

How to insert new row to database with AUTO_INCREMENT column without specifying column names?

Just add the column names, yes you can use Null instead but is is a very bad idea to not use column names in any insert, ever.

Using .NET, how can you find the mime type of a file based on the file signature not the extension

You can also look in the registry.

    using System.IO;
    using Microsoft.Win32;

    string GetMimeType(FileInfo fileInfo)
    {
        string mimeType = "application/unknown";

        RegistryKey regKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(
            fileInfo.Extension.ToLower()
            );

        if(regKey != null)
        {
            object contentType = regKey.GetValue("Content Type");

            if(contentType != null)
                mimeType = contentType.ToString();
        }

        return mimeType;
    }

One way or another you're going to have to tap into a database of MIMEs - whether they're mapped from extensions or magic numbers is somewhat trivial - windows registry is one such place. For a platform independent solution though one would have to ship this DB with the code (or as a standalone library).

Retrieving a property of a JSON object by index?

Objects in JavaScript are collections of unordered properties. Objects are hashtables.

If you want your properties to be in alphabetical order, one possible solution would be to create an index for your properties in a separate array. Just a few hours ago, I answered a question on Stack Overflow which you may want to check out:

Iterating over a JavaScript object in sort order based on particular key value of a child object

Here's a quick adaptation for your object¹:

var obj = {
    "set1": [1, 2, 3],
    "set2": [4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
    "set3": [9, 10, 11, 12]
};

var index = [];

// build the index
for (var x in obj) {
   index.push(x);
}

// sort the index
index.sort(function (a, b) {    
   return a == b ? 0 : (a > b ? 1 : -1); 
});

Then you would be able to do the following:

console.log(obj[index[1]]);

The answer I cited earlier proposes a reusable solution to iterate over such an object. That is unless you can change your JSON to as @Jacob Relkin suggested in the other answer, which could be easier.

¹ You may want to use the hasOwnProperty() method to ensure that the properties belong to your object and are not inherited from Object.prototype.

How to bind Close command to a button

For .NET 4.5 SystemCommands class will do the trick (.NET 4.0 users can use WPF Shell Extension google - Microsoft.Windows.Shell or Nicholas Solution).

    <Window.CommandBindings>
        <CommandBinding Command="{x:Static SystemCommands.CloseWindowCommand}" 
                        CanExecute="CloseWindow_CanExec" 
                        Executed="CloseWindow_Exec" />
    </Window.CommandBindings>
    <!-- Binding Close Command to the button control -->
    <Button ToolTip="Close Window" Content="Close" Command="{x:Static SystemCommands.CloseWindowCommand}"/>

In the Code Behind you can implement the handlers like this:

    private void CloseWindow_CanExec(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
    }

    private void CloseWindow_Exec(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        SystemCommands.CloseWindow(this);
    }

Create Elasticsearch curl query for not null and not empty("")

You can use a bool combination query with must/must_not which gives great performance and returns all records where the field is not null and not empty.

bool must_not is like "NOT AND" which means field!="", bool must exist means its !=null.

so effectively enabling: where field1!=null and field1!=""

GET  IndexName/IndexType/_search
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [{
                "bool": {
                    "must_not": [{
                        "term": { "YourFieldName": ""}
                    }]
                }
            }, {
                "bool": {
                    "must": [{
                      "exists" : { "field" : "YourFieldName" }
                    }]
                }
            }]
        }   
    }
}

What is the use of ObservableCollection in .net?

it is a collection which is used to notify mostly UI to change in the collection , it supports automatic notification.

Mainly used in WPF ,

Where say suppose you have UI with a list box and add button and when you click on he button an object of type suppose person will be added to the obseravablecollection and you bind this collection to the ItemSource of Listbox , so as soon as you added a new item in the collection , Listbox will update itself and add one more item in it.

Counting the number of elements in array

Best practice of getting length is use length filter returns the number of items of a sequence or mapping, or the length of a string. For example: {{ notcount | length }}

But you can calculate count of elements in for loop. For example:

{% set count = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount %}
    {% set count = count + 1 %}
{% endfor %}

{{ count }}

This solution helps if you want to calculate count of elements by condition, for example you have a property name inside object and you want to calculate count of objects with not empty names:

{% set countNotEmpty = 0 %}
{% for nc in notcount if nc.name %}
    {% set countNotEmpty = countNotEmpty + 1 %}
{% endfor %}

{{ countNotEmpty }}

How to identify whether a grammar is LL(1), LR(0) or SLR(1)?

Simple answer:A grammar is said to be an LL(1),if the associated LL(1) parsing table has atmost one production in each table entry.

Take the simple grammar A -->Aa|b.[A is non-terminal & a,b are terminals]
   then find the First and follow sets A.
    First{A}={b}.
    Follow{A}={$,a}.

    Parsing table for Our grammar.Terminals as columns and Nonterminal S as a row element.

        a            b                   $
    --------------------------------------------
 S  |               A-->a                      |
    |               A-->Aa.                    |
    --------------------------------------------

As [S,b] contains two Productions there is a confusion as to which rule to choose.So it is not LL(1).

Some simple checks to see whether a grammar is LL(1) or not. Check 1: The Grammar should not be left Recursive. Example: E --> E+T. is not LL(1) because it is Left recursive. Check 2: The Grammar should be Left Factored.

Left factoring is required when two or more grammar rule choices share a common prefix string. Example: S-->A+int|A.

Check 3:The Grammar should not be ambiguous.

These are some simple checks.

How to validate phone numbers using regex

My inclination is to agree that stripping non-digits and just accepting what's there is best. Maybe to ensure at least a couple digits are present, although that does prohibit something like an alphabetic phone number "ASK-JAKE" for example.

A couple simple perl expressions might be:

@f = /(\d+)/g;
tr/0-9//dc;

Use the first one to keep the digit groups together, which may give formatting clues. Use the second one to trivially toss all non-digits.

Is it a worry that there may need to be a pause and then more keys entered? Or something like 555-1212 (wait for the beep) 123?

How I could add dir to $PATH in Makefile?

By design make parser executes lines in a separate shell invocations, that's why changing variable (e.g. PATH) in one line, the change may not be applied for the next lines (see this post).

One way to workaround this problem, is to convert multiple commands into a single line (separated by ;), or use One Shell special target (.ONESHELL, as of GNU Make 3.82).

Alternatively you can provide PATH variable at the time when shell is invoked. For example:

PATH  := $(PATH):$(PWD)/bin:/my/other/path
SHELL := env PATH=$(PATH) /bin/bash

Explanation of "ClassCastException" in Java

You can better understand ClassCastException and casting once you realize that the JVM cannot guess the unknown. If B is an instance of A it has more class members and methods on the heap than A. The JVM cannot guess how to cast A to B since the mapping target is larger, and the JVM will not know how to fill the additional members.

But if A was an instance of B, it would be possible, because A is a reference to a complete instance of B, so the mapping will be one-to-one.

How can the Euclidean distance be calculated with NumPy?

A nice one-liner:

dist = numpy.linalg.norm(a-b)

However, if speed is a concern I would recommend experimenting on your machine. I've found that using math library's sqrt with the ** operator for the square is much faster on my machine than the one-liner NumPy solution.

I ran my tests using this simple program:

#!/usr/bin/python
import math
import numpy
from random import uniform

def fastest_calc_dist(p1,p2):
    return math.sqrt((p2[0] - p1[0]) ** 2 +
                     (p2[1] - p1[1]) ** 2 +
                     (p2[2] - p1[2]) ** 2)

def math_calc_dist(p1,p2):
    return math.sqrt(math.pow((p2[0] - p1[0]), 2) +
                     math.pow((p2[1] - p1[1]), 2) +
                     math.pow((p2[2] - p1[2]), 2))

def numpy_calc_dist(p1,p2):
    return numpy.linalg.norm(numpy.array(p1)-numpy.array(p2))

TOTAL_LOCATIONS = 1000

p1 = dict()
p2 = dict()
for i in range(0, TOTAL_LOCATIONS):
    p1[i] = (uniform(0,1000),uniform(0,1000),uniform(0,1000))
    p2[i] = (uniform(0,1000),uniform(0,1000),uniform(0,1000))

total_dist = 0
for i in range(0, TOTAL_LOCATIONS):
    for j in range(0, TOTAL_LOCATIONS):
        dist = fastest_calc_dist(p1[i], p2[j]) #change this line for testing
        total_dist += dist

print total_dist

On my machine, math_calc_dist runs much faster than numpy_calc_dist: 1.5 seconds versus 23.5 seconds.

To get a measurable difference between fastest_calc_dist and math_calc_dist I had to up TOTAL_LOCATIONS to 6000. Then fastest_calc_dist takes ~50 seconds while math_calc_dist takes ~60 seconds.

You can also experiment with numpy.sqrt and numpy.square though both were slower than the math alternatives on my machine.

My tests were run with Python 2.6.6.

What is the difference between Linear search and Binary search?

Linear Search looks through items until it finds the searched value.

Efficiency: O(n)

Example Python Code:

test_list = [1, 3, 9, 11, 15, 19, 29]
test_val1 = 25
test_val2 = 15

def linear_search(input_array, search_value):
    index = 0
    while (index < len(input_array)) and (input_array[index] < search_value):
        index += 1
    if index >= len(input_array) or input_array[index] != search_value:
        return -1

    return index


print linear_search(test_list, test_val1)
print linear_search(test_list, test_val2)

Binary Search finds the middle element of the array. Checks that middle value is greater or lower than the search value. If it is smaller, it gets the left side of the array and finds the middle element of that part. If it is greater, gets the right part of the array. It loops the operation until it finds the searched value. Or if there is no value in the array finishes the search.

Efficiency: O(logn)

Example Python Code:

test_list = [1, 3, 9, 11, 15, 19, 29]
test_val1 = 25
test_val2 = 15

def binary_search(input_array, value):
    low = 0
    high = len(input_array) - 1
    while low <= high:
        mid = (low + high) / 2
        if input_array[mid] == value:
            return mid
        elif input_array[mid] < value:
            low = mid + 1
        else:
            high = mid - 1

    return -1


print binary_search(test_list, test_val1)
print binary_search(test_list, test_val2)

Download multiple files with a single action

I agree that a zip file is a neater solution... But if you have to push multiple file, here's the solution I came up with. It works in IE 9 and up (possibly lower version too - I haven't tested it), Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Chrome will display a message to user to obtain his agreement to download multiple files the first time your site use it.

function deleteIframe (iframe) {
    iframe.remove(); 
}
function createIFrame (fileURL) {
    var iframe = $('<iframe style="display:none"></iframe>');
    iframe[0].src= fileURL;
    $('body').append(iframe);
    timeout(deleteIframe, 60000, iframe);             
 }
 // This function allows to pass parameters to the function in a timeout that are 
 // frozen and that works in IE9
 function timeout(func, time) {
      var args = [];
      if (arguments.length >2) {
           args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
      }
      return setTimeout(function(){ return func.apply(null, args); }, time);
 }
 // IE will process only the first one if we put no delay
 var wait = (isIE ? 1000 : 0);
 for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {  
      timeout(createIFrame, wait*i, files[i]);
 }

The only side effect of this technique, is that user will see a delay between submit and the download dialog showing. To minimize this effect, I suggest you use the technique describe here and on this question Detect when browser receives file download that consist of setting a cookie with your file to know it has started download. You will have to check for this cookie on client side and to send it on server side. Don't forget to set the proper path for your cookie or you might not see it. You will also have to adapt the solution for multiple file download.

How to send HTTP request in java?

I know others will recommend Apache's http-client, but it adds complexity (i.e., more things that can go wrong) that is rarely warranted. For a simple task, java.net.URL will do.

URL url = new URL("http://www.y.com/url");
InputStream is = url.openStream();
try {
  /* Now read the retrieved document from the stream. */
  ...
} finally {
  is.close();
}

How do I make a JSON object with multiple arrays?

Enclosed in {} represents an object; enclosed in [] represents an array, there can be multiple objects in the array
example object :

{
    "brand": "bwm", 
    "price": 30000
}


{
    "brand": "benz", 
    "price": 50000
}

example array:

[
    {
        "brand": "bwm", 
        "price": 30000
    }, 
    {
        "brand": "benz", 
        "price": 50000
    }
]

In order to use JSON more beautifully, you can go here JSON Viewer do format

How can I check if a scrollbar is visible?

The first solution above works only in IE The second solution above works only in FF

This combination of both functions works in both browsers:

//Firefox Only!!
if ($(document).height() > $(window).height()) {
    // has scrollbar
    $("#mtc").addClass("AdjustOverflowWidth");
    alert('scrollbar present - Firefox');
} else {
    $("#mtc").removeClass("AdjustOverflowWidth");
}

//Internet Explorer Only!!
(function($) {
    $.fn.hasScrollBar = function() {
        return this.get(0).scrollHeight > this.innerHeight();
    }
})(jQuery);
if ($('#monitorWidth1').hasScrollBar()) {
    // has scrollbar
    $("#mtc").addClass("AdjustOverflowWidth");
    alert('scrollbar present - Internet Exploder');
} else {
    $("#mtc").removeClass("AdjustOverflowWidth");
}?

Wrap in a document ready
monitorWidth1 : the div where the overflow is set to auto
mtc : a container div inside monitorWidth1
AdjustOverflowWidth : a css class applied to the #mtc div when the Scrollbar is active *Use the alert to test cross browser, and then comment out for final production code.

Eclipse returns error message "Java was started but returned exit code = 1"

For those of you who tried all the above answers without any success, try lowering your -Xms value. I am required to support an older Eclipse (Weblogic Eclipse 10.3.6) - I had the following .ini on my Windows 7 machine and my Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise VM (the Java version below points to a 32-bit Java) that had worked and were working perfectly, respectively.

-vm
C:/Java/Java7/jdk1.7.0_79/bin/javaw.exe
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.200.v20120522-1813
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
-Dweblogic.home=C:/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3

So a 32-bit Java for a 32-bit Eclipse, but still exit code 1. Based on all answers I had seen here, and the only change being a new laptop with Windows 10, the only possible explanation was that the new OS and the Eclipse were disagreeing on something. So I started playing around with each of the values, and it worked when I lowered both Xms and Xmx to 512m. I have a hunch that possibly the new Windows OS is preventing a higher initial heap size based on some run condition (the higher -Xms does work on Windows 10 on all other similar devices I came across) - so any other explanation is welcome. Meanwhile following is the only value I tweaked to successfully launch Eclipse.

-Xms512m

How can I style the border and title bar of a window in WPF?

You need to set

WindowStyle="None", AllowsTransparency="True" and optionally ResizeMode="NoResize"
and then set the Style property of the window to your custom window style, where you design the appearance of the window (title bar, buttons, border) to anything you want and display the window contents in a ContentPresenter.

This seems to be a good article on how you can achieve this, but there are many other articles on the internet.

Disable native datepicker in Google Chrome

For Laravel5 Since one uses

{!! Form::input('date', 'date_start', null , ['class' => 'form-control', 'id' => 'date_start', 'name' => 'date_start']) !!}

=> Chrome will force its datepicker. => if you take it away with css you will get the usual formatting errors!! (The specified value does not conform to the required format, "yyyy-MM-dd".)

SOLUTION:

$('input[type="date"]').attr('type','text');

$("#date_start").datepicker({
    autoclose: true,
    todayHighlight: true,
    dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    viewMode: 'months'
});
$("#date_stop").datepicker({
    autoclose: true,
    todayHighlight: true,
    dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    viewMode: 'months'
});
$( "#date_start" ).datepicker().datepicker("setDate", "1d");
$( "#date_stop" ).datepicker().datepicker("setDate", '2d');

Html.RenderPartial() syntax with Razor

Html.RenderPartial() is a void method - you can check whether a method is a void method by placing your mouse over the call to RenderPartial in your code and you will see the text (extension) void HtmlHelper.RenderPartial...

Void methods require a semicolon at the end of the calling code.

In the Webforms view engine you would have encased your Html.RenderPartial() call within the bee stings <% %>

like so

<% Html.RenderPartial("Path/to/my/partial/view"); %>

when you are using the Razor view engine the equivalent is

@{Html.RenderPartial("Path/to/my/partial/view");}

How to change Visual Studio 2012,2013 or 2015 License Key?

I had the same problem and wanted to change the product key to another. Unfortunate it's not as easy as it was on VS2010.

The following steps work:

Remove the registry key containing the license information: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\77550D6B-6352-4E77-9DA3-537419DF564B
If you can't find the key, use sysinternals ProcessMonitor to check the registry access of VS2012 to locate the correct key which is always in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses
After you remove this key, VS2012 will tell you that it's license information is incorrect. Go to "Programs and features" and repair VS2012.
After the repair, VS2012 is reverted to a 30 day trial and you can enter a new product key. This could also be used to stay in a trial version loop and never enter a producy key.

Google Chrome forcing download of "f.txt" file

I experienced the same issue, same version of Chrome though it's unrelated to the issue. With the developer console I captured an instance of the request that spawned this, and it is an API call served by ad.doubleclick.net. Specifically, this resource returns a response with Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="f.txt".

The URL I happened to capture was https://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/N7412.226578.VEVO/B8463950.115078190;sz=300x60...

SQL query to find record with ID not in another table

Keeping in mind the points made in @John Woo's comment/link above, this is how I typically would handle it:

SELECT t1.ID, t1.Name

WHERE  NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT TOP 1 NULL
    FROM Table2 t2
    WHERE t1.ID = t2.ID
)

How do you get the length of a string?

In jQuery :

( var len = $('.selector').html().length; ) //- If Element is not Input Text Box

In JS :

var len = str.len;

Is there a way to 'pretty' print MongoDB shell output to a file?

Put your query (e.g. db.someCollection.find().pretty()) to a javascript file, let's say query.js. Then run it in your operating system's shell using command:

mongo yourDb < query.js > outputFile

Query result will be in the file named 'outputFile'.

By default Mongo prints out first 20 documents IIRC. If you want more you can define new value to batch size in Mongo shell, e.g.

DBQuery.shellBatchSize = 100.

How can I see the current value of my $PATH variable on OS X?

By entering $PATH on its own at the command prompt, you're trying to run it. This isn't like Windows where you can get your path output by simply typing path.

If you want to see what the path is, simply echo it:

echo $PATH

How to kill zombie process

A zombie is already dead, so you cannot kill it. To clean up a zombie, it must be waited on by its parent, so killing the parent should work to eliminate the zombie. (After the parent dies, the zombie will be inherited by pid 1, which will wait on it and clear its entry in the process table.) If your daemon is spawning children that become zombies, you have a bug. Your daemon should notice when its children die and wait on them to determine their exit status.

An example of how you might send a signal to every process that is the parent of a zombie (note that this is extremely crude and might kill processes that you do not intend. I do not recommend using this sort of sledge hammer):

# Don't do this.  Incredibly risky sledge hammer!
kill $(ps -A -ostat,ppid | awk '/[zZ]/ && !a[$2]++ {print $2}')

How to analyze disk usage of a Docker container

Posting this as an answer because my comments above got hidden:

List the size of a container:

du -d 2 -h /var/lib/docker/devicemapper | grep `docker inspect -f "{{.Id}}" <container_name>`

List the sizes of a container's volumes:

docker inspect -f "{{.Volumes}}" <container_name> | sed 's/map\[//' | sed 's/]//' | tr ' ' '\n' | sed 's/.*://' | xargs sudo du -d 1 -h

Edit: List all running containers' sizes and volumes:

for d in `docker ps -q`; do
    d_name=`docker inspect -f {{.Name}} $d`
    echo "========================================================="
    echo "$d_name ($d) container size:"
    sudo du -d 2 -h /var/lib/docker/devicemapper | grep `docker inspect -f "{{.Id}}" $d`
    echo "$d_name ($d) volumes:"
    docker inspect -f "{{.Volumes}}" $d | sed 's/map\[//' | sed 's/]//' | tr ' ' '\n' | sed 's/.*://' | xargs sudo du -d 1 -h
done

NOTE: Change 'devicemapper' according to your Docker filesystem (e.g 'aufs')

How do I URL encode a string

So many answers but didn't work for me, so I tried the following:

    let finalUrl = URL(string: urlString)!

    //continue to execute your service call... 
}

Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

There is no work-around for this aside from ditching the select element.

Add a new line to the end of a JtextArea

When you want to create a new line or wrap in your TextArea you have to add \n (newline) after the text.

TextArea t = new TextArea();
t.setText("insert text when you want a new line add \nThen more text....);
setBounds();
setFont();
add(t);

This is the only way I was able to do it, maybe there is a simpler way but I havent discovered that yet.

Is there are way to make a child DIV's width wider than the parent DIV using CSS?

Flexbox can be used to make a child wider than its parent with three lines of CSS.

Only the child’s display, margin-left and width need to be set. margin-left depends on the child’s width. The formula is:

margin-left: calc(-.5 * var(--child-width) + 50%);

CSS variables can be used to avoid manually calculating the left margin.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

If someone facing this problem when using Docker, be sure if you are using your version of SQL.

In my case: MYSQL_VERSION=latest changing to MYSQL_VERSION=5.7.

Then you need to remove your unused Docker images with docker system prune -a (docs).

Also, in your .env you need to change DB_HOST=mysql. And run php artisan config:clear.

I think it will help someone.

How to request Google to re-crawl my website?

There are two options. The first (and better) one is using the Fetch as Google option in Webmaster Tools that Mike Flynn commented about. Here are detailed instructions:

Go to: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ and log in
If you haven't already, add and verify the site with the "Add a Site" button
Click on the site name for the one you want to manage
Click Crawl -> Fetch as Google
Optional: if you want to do a specific page only, type in the URL
Click Fetch
Click Submit to Index
Select either "URL" or "URL and its direct links"
Click OK and you're done.

With the option above, as long as every page can be reached from some link on the initial page or a page that it links to, Google should recrawl the whole thing. If you want to explicitly tell it a list of pages to crawl on the domain, you can follow the directions to submit a sitemap.

Your second (and generally slower) option is, as seanbreeden pointed out, submitting here: http://www.google.com/addurl/

Update 2019:

Login to - Google Search Console
Add a site and verify it with the available methods.
After verification from the console, click on URL Inspection.
In the Search bar on top, enter your website URL or custom URLs for inspection and enter.
After Inspection, it'll show an option to Request Indexing
Click on it and GoogleBot will add your website in a Queue for crawling.

Gives you O(n) complexity.

Git status shows files as changed even though contents are the same

For me the issue was a case difference in the file.

I renamed the file and committed the delete, It showed both the upper and lower case versions of the file to be deleted.

After the delete was committed I renamed the file back to its original name and pushed.

Remove DEFINER clause from MySQL Dumps

I don't think there is a way to ignore adding DEFINERs to the dump. But there are ways to remove them after the dump file is created.

Open the dump file in a text editor and replace all occurrences of DEFINER=root@localhost with an empty string ""

Edit the dump (or pipe the output) using perl:

perl -p -i.bak -e "s/DEFINER=\`\w.*\`@\`\d[0-3].*[0-3]\`//g" mydatabase.sql

Pipe the output through sed:

mysqldump ... | sed -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=[ ]*[^*]*\*/\*/' > triggers_backup.sql

What is the functionality of setSoTimeout and how it works?

This example made everything clear for me:
As you can see setSoTimeout prevent the program to hang! It wait for SO_TIMEOUT time! if it does not get any signal it throw exception! It means that time expired!

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.SocketTimeoutException;

public class SocketTest extends Thread {
  private ServerSocket serverSocket;

  public SocketTest() throws IOException {
    serverSocket = new ServerSocket(8008);
    serverSocket.setSoTimeout(10000);
  }

  public void run() {
    while (true) {
      try {
        System.out.println("Waiting for client on port " + serverSocket.getLocalPort() + "...");
        Socket client = serverSocket.accept();

        System.out.println("Just connected to " + client.getRemoteSocketAddress());
        client.close();
      } catch (SocketTimeoutException s) {
        System.out.println("Socket timed out!");
        break;
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        break;
      }
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Thread t = new SocketTest();
      t.start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

How to delete row based on cell value

You could copy down a formula like the following in a new column...

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("-",A1)),1,0)

... then sort on that column, highlight all the rows where the value is 1 and delete them.

Making href (anchor tag) request POST instead of GET?

To do POST you'll need to have a form.

<form action="employee.action" method="post">
    <input type="submit" value="Employee1" />
</form>

There are some ways to post data with hyperlinks, but you'll need some javascript, and a form.

Some tricks: Make a link use POST instead of GET and How do you post data with a link

Edit: to load response on a frame you can target your form to your frame:

<form action="employee.action" method="post" target="myFrame">

Add a UIView above all, even the navigation bar

I recommend you to create a new UIWindow:

UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
window.rootViewController = viewController;
window.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
window.opaque = NO;
window.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelCFShareCircle;
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

Then you can manage your view in an other UIViewController. To remove the windows:

[window removeFromSuperview];
window = nil;

hope that will help!

Execute cmd command from VBScript

How to add bootstrap in angular 6 project?

For Angular Version 11+

Configuration

The styles and scripts options in your angular.json configuration now allow to reference a package directly:

before: "styles": ["../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"]
after: "styles": ["bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"]

          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/ng6",
            "index": "src/index.html",
            "main": "src/main.ts",
            "polyfills": "src/polyfills.ts",
            "tsConfig": "src/tsconfig.app.json",
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css","bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"

            ],
            "scripts": [
                       "jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
                       "bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
                       ]
          },

Angular Version 10 and below

You are using Angular v6 not 2

Angular v6 Onwards

CLI projects in angular 6 onwards will be using angular.json instead of .angular-cli.json for build and project configuration.

Each CLI workspace has projects, each project has targets, and each target can have configurations.Docs

. {
  "projects": {
    "my-project-name": {
      "projectType": "application",
      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "configurations": {
            "production": {},
            "demo": {},
            "staging": {},
          }
        },
        "serve": {},
        "extract-i18n": {},
        "test": {},
      }
    },
    "my-project-name-e2e": {}
  },
}

OPTION-1
execute npm install bootstrap@4 jquery --save
The JavaScript parts of Bootstrap are dependent on jQuery. So you need the jQuery JavaScript library file too.

In your angular.json add the file paths to the styles and scripts array in under build target
NOTE: Before v6 the Angular CLI project configuration was stored in <PATH_TO_PROJECT>/.angular-cli.json. As of v6 the location of the file changed to angular.json. Since there is no longer a leading dot, the file is no longer hidden by default and is on the same level.
which also means that file paths in angular.json should not contain leading dots and slash

i.e you can provide an absolute path instead of a relative path

In .angular-cli.json file Path was "../node_modules/"
In angular.json it is "node_modules/"

 "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/ng6",
            "index": "src/index.html",
            "main": "src/main.ts",
            "polyfills": "src/polyfills.ts",
            "tsConfig": "src/tsconfig.app.json",
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css","node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
               
            ],
            "scripts": ["node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
                       "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"]
          },

OPTION 2
Add files from CDN (Content Delivery Network) to your project CDN LINK

Open file src/index.html and insert

the <link> element at the end of the head section to include the Bootstrap CSS file
a <script> element to include jQuery at the bottom of the body section
a <script> element to include Popper.js at the bottom of the body section
a <script> element to include the Bootstrap JavaScript file at the bottom of the body section

  <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <title>Angular</title>
      <base href="/">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
      <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">
    </head>
    <body>
      <app-root>Loading...</app-root>
      <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-KJ3o2DKtIkvYIK3UENzmM7KCkRr/rE9/Qpg6aAZGJwFDMVNA/GpGFF93hXpG5KkN" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

    </body>
    </html>

OPTION 3
Execute npm install bootstrap
In src/styles.css add the following line:

@import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";

OPTION-4
ng-bootstrap It contains a set of native Angular directives based on Bootstrap’s markup and CSS. As a result, it's not dependent on jQuery or Bootstrap’s JavaScript

npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

After Installation import it in your root module and register it in @NgModule imports` array

import {NgbModule} from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [NgbModule.forRoot(), ...],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

NOTE
ng-bootstrap requires Bootstrap's 4 css to be added in your project. you need to Install it explicitly via:
npm install bootstrap@4 --save In your angular.json add the file paths to the styles array in under build target

   "styles": [
      "src/styles.css",
      "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
   ],

P.S Do Restart Your server

`ng serve || npm start`

How to create a DOM node as an object?

First make your template into a jQuery object:

 var template = $("<li><div class='bar'>bla</div></li>");

Then set the attributes and append it to the DOM.

 template.find('li').attr('id','1234');
 $(document.body).append(template);

Note that it however makes no sense at all to add a li directly to the DOM since li should always be children of ul or ol. Also it is better to not make jQuery parse raw HTML. Instead create a li, set its attributes. Create a div and set it's attributes. Insert the div into the li and then append the li to the DOM.

Android get current Locale, not default

If you are using the Android Support Library you can use ConfigurationCompat instead of @Makalele's method to get rid of deprecation warnings:

Locale current = ConfigurationCompat.getLocales(getResources().getConfiguration()).get(0);

or in Kotlin:

val currentLocale = ConfigurationCompat.getLocales(resources.configuration)[0]

Printing with "\t" (tabs) does not result in aligned columns

In continuation of the comments by Péter and duncan, I normally use a quick padding method, something like -

public String rpad(String inStr, int finalLength)
{
    return (inStr + "                          " // typically a sufficient length spaces string.
        ).substring(0, finalLength);
}

similarly you can have a lpad() as well

Regular expression to match non-ASCII characters?

Unicode Property Escapes are among the features of ES2018.

Basic Usage

With Unicode Property Escapes, you can match a letter from any language with the following simple regular expression:

/\p{Letter}/u

Or with the shorthand, even terser:

/\p{L}/u

Matching Words

Regarding the question's concrete use case (matching words), note that you can use Unicode Property Escapes in character classes, making it easy to match letters together with other word-characters like hyphens:

/[\p{L}-]/u

Stitching it all together, you could match words of all^[1] languages with this beautifully short RegEx:

/[\p{L}-]+/ug

Example (shamelessly plugged from the answer above):

'Düsseldorf, Köln, ??????, ???, ??????? !@#$'.match(/[\p{L}-]+/ug)

// ["Düsseldorf", "Köln", "??????", "???", "???????"]

^[1] Note that I'm not an expert on languages. You may still want to do your own research regarding other characters that might be parts of words besides letters and hyphens.

Browser Support

This feature is available in all major evergreen browsers.

Transpiling

If support for older browsers is needed, Unicode Property Escapes can be transpiled to ES5 with a tool called regexpu. There's an online demo available here. As you can see in the demo, you can in fact match non-latin letters today with the following (horribly long) ES5 regular expression:

/(?:[A-Za-z\xAA\xB5\xBA\xC0-\xD6\xD8-\xF6\xF8-\u02C1\u02C6-\u02D1\u02E0-\u02E4\u02EC\u02EE\u0370-\u0374\u0376\u0377\u037A-\u037D\u037F\u0386\u0388-\u038A\u038C\u038E-\u03A1\u03A3-\u03F5\u03F7-\u0481\u048A-\u052F\u0531-\u0556\u0559\u0561-\u0587\u05D0-\u05EA\u05F0-\u05F2\u0620-\u064A\u066E\u066F\u0671-\u06D3\u06D5\u06E5\u06E6\u06EE\u06EF\u06FA-\u06FC\u06FF\u0710\u0712-\u072F\u074D-\u07A5\u07B1\u07CA-\u07EA\u07F4\u07F5\u07FA\u0800-\u0815\u081A\u0824\u0828\u0840-\u0858\u0860-\u086A\u08A0-\u08B4\u08B6-\u08BD\u0904-\u0939\u093D\u0950\u0958-\u0961\u0971-\u0980\u0985-\u098C\u098F\u0990\u0993-\u09A8\u09AA-\u09B0\u09B2\u09B6-\u09B9\u09BD\u09CE\u09DC\u09DD\u09DF-\u09E1\u09F0\u09F1\u09FC\u0A05-\u0A0A\u0A0F\u0A10\u0A13-\u0A28\u0A2A-\u0A30\u0A32\u0A33\u0A35\u0A36\u0A38\u0A39\u0A59-\u0A5C\u0A5E\u0A72-\u0A74\u0A85-\u0A8D\u0A8F-\u0A91\u0A93-\u0AA8\u0AAA-\u0AB0\u0AB2\u0AB3\u0AB5-\u0AB9\u0ABD\u0AD0\u0AE0\u0AE1\u0AF9\u0B05-\u0B0C\u0B0F\u0B10\u0B13-\u0B28\u0B2A-\u0B30\u0B32\u0B33\u0B35-\u0B39\u0B3D\u0B5C\u0B5D\u0B5F-\u0B61\u0B71\u0B83\u0B85-\u0B8A\u0B8E-\u0B90\u0B92-\u0B95\u0B99\u0B9A\u0B9C\u0B9E\u0B9F\u0BA3\u0BA4\u0BA8-\u0BAA\u0BAE-\u0BB9\u0BD0\u0C05-\u0C0C\u0C0E-\u0C10\u0C12-\u0C28\u0C2A-\u0C39\u0C3D\u0C58-\u0C5A\u0C60\u0C61\u0C80\u0C85-\u0C8C\u0C8E-\u0C90\u0C92-\u0CA8\u0CAA-\u0CB3\u0CB5-\u0CB9\u0CBD\u0CDE\u0CE0\u0CE1\u0CF1\u0CF2\u0D05-\u0D0C\u0D0E-\u0D10\u0D12-\u0D3A\u0D3D\u0D4E\u0D54-\u0D56\u0D5F-\u0D61\u0D7A-\u0D7F\u0D85-\u0D96\u0D9A-\u0DB1\u0DB3-\u0DBB\u0DBD\u0DC0-\u0DC6\u0E01-\u0E30\u0E32\u0E33\u0E40-\u0E46\u0E81\u0E82\u0E84\u0E87\u0E88\u0E8A\u0E8D\u0E94-\u0E97\u0E99-\u0E9F\u0EA1-\u0EA3\u0EA5\u0EA7\u0EAA\u0EAB\u0EAD-\u0EB0\u0EB2\u0EB3\u0EBD\u0EC0-\u0EC4\u0EC6\u0EDC-\u0EDF\u0F00\u0F40-\u0F47\u0F49-\u0F6C\u0F88-\u0F8C\u1000-\u102A\u103F\u1050-\u1055\u105A-\u105D\u1061\u1065\u1066\u106E-\u1070\u1075-\u1081\u108E\u10A0-\u10C5\u10C7\u10CD\u10D0-\u10FA\u10FC-\u1248\u124A-\u124D\u1250-\u1256\u1258\u125A-\u125D\u1260-\u1288\u128A-\u128D\u1290-\u12B0\u12B2-\u12B5\u12B8-\u12BE\u12C0\u12C2-\u12C5\u12C8-\u12D6\u12D8-\u1310\u1312-\u1315\u1318-\u135A\u1380-\u138F\u13A0-\u13F5\u13F8-\u13FD\u1401-\u166C\u166F-\u167F\u1681-\u169A\u16A0-\u16EA\u16F1-\u16F8\u1700-\u170C\u170E-\u1711\u1720-\u1731\u1740-\u1751\u1760-\u176C\u176E-\u1770\u1780-\u17B3\u17D7\u17DC\u1820-\u1877\u1880-\u1884\u1887-\u18A8\u18AA\u18B0-\u18F5\u1900-\u191E\u1950-\u196D\u1970-\u1974\u1980-\u19AB\u19B0-\u19C9\u1A00-\u1A16\u1A20-\u1A54\u1AA7\u1B05-\u1B33\u1B45-\u1B4B\u1B83-\u1BA0\u1BAE\u1BAF\u1BBA-\u1BE5\u1C00-\u1C23\u1C4D-\u1C4F\u1C5A-\u1C7D\u1C80-\u1C88\u1CE9-\u1CEC\u1CEE-\u1CF1\u1CF5\u1CF6\u1D00-\u1DBF\u1E00-\u1F15\u1F18-\u1F1D\u1F20-\u1F45\u1F48-\u1F4D\u1F50-\u1F57\u1F59\u1F5B\u1F5D\u1F5F-\u1F7D\u1F80-\u1FB4\u1FB6-\u1FBC\u1FBE\u1FC2-\u1FC4\u1FC6-\u1FCC\u1FD0-\u1FD3\u1FD6-\u1FDB\u1FE0-\u1FEC\u1FF2-\u1FF4\u1FF6-\u1FFC\u2071\u207F\u2090-\u209C\u2102\u2107\u210A-\u2113\u2115\u2119-\u211D\u2124\u2126\u2128\u212A-\u212D\u212F-\u2139\u213C-\u213F\u2145-\u2149\u214E\u2183\u2184\u2C00-\u2C2E\u2C30-\u2C5E\u2C60-\u2CE4\u2CEB-\u2CEE\u2CF2\u2CF3\u2D00-\u2D25\u2D27\u2D2D\u2D30-\u2D67\u2D6F\u2D80-\u2D96\u2DA0-\u2DA6\u2DA8-\u2DAE\u2DB0-\u2DB6\u2DB8-\u2DBE\u2DC0-\u2DC6\u2DC8-\u2DCE\u2DD0-\u2DD6\u2DD8-\u2DDE\u2E2F\u3005\u3006\u3031-\u3035\u303B\u303C\u3041-\u3096\u309D-\u309F\u30A1-\u30FA\u30FC-\u30FF\u3105-\u312E\u3131-\u318E\u31A0-\u31BA\u31F0-\u31FF\u3400-\u4DB5\u4E00-\u9FEA\uA000-\uA48C\uA4D0-\uA4FD\uA500-\uA60C\uA610-\uA61F\uA62A\uA62B\uA640-\uA66E\uA67F-\uA69D\uA6A0-\uA6E5\uA717-\uA71F\uA722-\uA788\uA78B-\uA7AE\uA7B0-\uA7B7\uA7F7-\uA801\uA803-\uA805\uA807-\uA80A\uA80C-\uA822\uA840-\uA873\uA882-\uA8B3\uA8F2-\uA8F7\uA8FB\uA8FD\uA90A-\uA925\uA930-\uA946\uA960-\uA97C\uA984-\uA9B2\uA9CF\uA9E0-\uA9E4\uA9E6-\uA9EF\uA9FA-\uA9FE\uAA00-\uAA28\uAA40-\uAA42\uAA44-\uAA4B\uAA60-\uAA76\uAA7A\uAA7E-\uAAAF\uAAB1\uAAB5\uAAB6\uAAB9-\uAABD\uAAC0\uAAC2\uAADB-\uAADD\uAAE0-\uAAEA\uAAF2-\uAAF4\uAB01-\uAB06\uAB09-\uAB0E\uAB11-\uAB16\uAB20-\uAB26\uAB28-\uAB2E\uAB30-\uAB5A\uAB5C-\uAB65\uAB70-\uABE2\uAC00-\uD7A3\uD7B0-\uD7C6\uD7CB-\uD7FB\uF900-\uFA6D\uFA70-\uFAD9\uFB00-\uFB06\uFB13-\uFB17\uFB1D\uFB1F-\uFB28\uFB2A-\uFB36\uFB38-\uFB3C\uFB3E\uFB40\uFB41\uFB43\uFB44\uFB46-\uFBB1\uFBD3-\uFD3D\uFD50-\uFD8F\uFD92-\uFDC7\uFDF0-\uFDFB\uFE70-\uFE74\uFE76-\uFEFC\uFF21-\uFF3A\uFF41-\uFF5A\uFF66-\uFFBE\uFFC2-\uFFC7\uFFCA-\uFFCF\uFFD2-\uFFD7\uFFDA-\uFFDC]|\uD800[\uDC00-\uDC0B\uDC0D-\uDC26\uDC28-\uDC3A\uDC3C\uDC3D\uDC3F-\uDC4D\uDC50-\uDC5D\uDC80-\uDCFA\uDE80-\uDE9C\uDEA0-\uDED0\uDF00-\uDF1F\uDF2D-\uDF40\uDF42-\uDF49\uDF50-\uDF75\uDF80-\uDF9D\uDFA0-\uDFC3\uDFC8-\uDFCF]|\uD801[\uDC00-\uDC9D\uDCB0-\uDCD3\uDCD8-\uDCFB\uDD00-\uDD27\uDD30-\uDD63\uDE00-\uDF36\uDF40-\uDF55\uDF60-\uDF67]|\uD802[\uDC00-\uDC05\uDC08\uDC0A-\uDC35\uDC37\uDC38\uDC3C\uDC3F-\uDC55\uDC60-\uDC76\uDC80-\uDC9E\uDCE0-\uDCF2\uDCF4\uDCF5\uDD00-\uDD15\uDD20-\uDD39\uDD80-\uDDB7\uDDBE\uDDBF\uDE00\uDE10-\uDE13\uDE15-\uDE17\uDE19-\uDE33\uDE60-\uDE7C\uDE80-\uDE9C\uDEC0-\uDEC7\uDEC9-\uDEE4\uDF00-\uDF35\uDF40-\uDF55\uDF60-\uDF72\uDF80-\uDF91]|\uD803[\uDC00-\uDC48\uDC8

What does DIM stand for in Visual Basic and BASIC?

It's short for Dimension, as it was originally used in BASIC to specify the size of arrays.

DIM — (short for dimension) define the size of arrays

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_BASIC

A part of the original BASIC compiler source code, where it would jump when finding a DIM command, in which you can clearly see the original intention for the keyword:

DIM    LDA XR01             BACK OFF OBJECT POINTER
       SUB N3
       STA RX01
       LDA L        2       GET VARIABLE TO BE DIMENSIONED
       STA 3
       LDA S        3
       CAB N36              CHECK FOR $ ARRAY
       BRU *+7              NOT $
       ...

Ref: http://dtss.dartmouth.edu/scans/BASIC/BASIC%20Compiler.pdf

Later on it came to be used to declare all kinds of variables, when the possibility to specify the type for variables was added in more recent implementations.

Problems with Android Fragment back stack

Explanation: on what's going on here?

If we keep in mind that .replace() is equal with .remove().add() that we know by the documentation:

Replace an existing fragment that was added to a container. This is essentially the same as calling remove(Fragment) for all currently added fragments that were added with the same containerViewId and then add(int, Fragment, String) with the same arguments given here.

then what's happening is like this (I'm adding numbers to the frag to make it more clear):

// transaction.replace(R.id.detailFragment, frag1);
Transaction.remove(null).add(frag1)  // frag1 on view

// transaction.replace(R.id.detailFragment, frag2).addToBackStack(null);
Transaction.remove(frag1).add(frag2).addToBackStack(null)  // frag2 on view

// transaction.replace(R.id.detailFragment, frag3);
Transaction.remove(frag2).add(frag3)  // frag3 on view

^{(here all misleading stuff starts to happen)}

Remember that .addToBackStack() is saving only transaction not the fragment as itself! So now we have frag3 on the layout:

< press back button >
// System pops the back stack and find the following saved back entry to be reversed:
// [Transaction.remove(frag1).add(frag2)]
// so the system makes that transaction backward!!!
// tries to remove frag2 (is not there, so it ignores) and re-add(frag1)
// make notice that system doesn't realise that there's a frag3 and does nothing with it
// so it still there attached to view
Transaction.remove(null).add(frag1) //frag1, frag3 on view (OVERLAPPING)

// transaction.replace(R.id.detailFragment, frag2).addToBackStack(null);
Transaction.remove(frag3).add(frag2).addToBackStack(null)  //frag2 on view

< press back button >
// system makes saved transaction backward
Transaction.remove(frag2).add(frag3) //frag3 on view

< press back button >
// no more entries in BackStack
< app exits >

Possible solution

Consider implementing FragmentManager.BackStackChangedListener to watch for changes in the back stack and apply your logic in onBackStackChanged() methode:

Trace a count of transaction;
Check particular transaction by name FragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(String name);
Etc.

Update GCC on OSX

If you install macports you can install gcc select, and then choose your gcc version.

/opt/local/bin/port install gcc_select

To see your versions use

port select --list gcc

To select a version use

sudo port select --set gcc gcc40

Calling a particular PHP function on form submit

PHP is run on a server, Your browser is a client. Once the server sends all the info to the client, nothing can be done on the server until another request is made.

To make another request without refreshing the page you are going to have to look into ajax. Look into jQuery as it makes ajax requests easy

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property

I tried changing year to a different term, and it worked.

public_methods : {
    get: function() {
        return this._year;
    },

    set: function(newValue) {
        if(newValue > this.originYear) {
            this._year = newValue;
            this.edition += newValue - this.originYear;
        }
    }
}

How to set a session variable when clicking a <a> link

Is your link to another web page? If so, perhaps you could put the variable in the query string and set the session variable when the page being linked to is loaded.

So the link looks like this:

<a href="home.php?variable=value" name="home">home</a>

And the homge page would parse the query string and set the session variable.

How to handle button clicks using the XML onClick within Fragments

The following solution might be a better one to follow. the layout is in fragment_my.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <data>
        <variable
            name="listener"
            type="my_package.MyListener" />
    </data>

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/moreTextView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:onClick="@{() -> listener.onClick()}"
            android:text="@string/login"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</layout>

And the Fragment would be as follows

class MyFragment : Fragment(), MyListener {
    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater,
        container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
            return FragmentMyBinding.inflate(
                inflater,
                container,
                false
            ).apply {
                lifecycleOwner = viewLifecycleOwner
                listener = this@MyFragment
            }.root
    }

    override fun onClick() {
        TODO("Not yet implemented")
    }

}

interface MyListener{
    fun onClick()
}

Key Presses in Python

You could also use PyAutoGui to send a virtual key presses.

Here's the documentation: https://pyautogui.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

import pyautogui


pyautogui.press('Any key combination')

You can also send keys like the shift key or enter key with:

import pyautogui

pyautogui.press('shift')

Pyautogui can also send straight text like so:

import pyautogui

pyautogui.typewrite('any text you want to type')

As for pressing the "A" key 1000 times, it would look something like this:

import pyautogui

for i in range(999):
    pyautogui.press("a")

alt-tab or other tasks that require more than one key to be pressed at the same time:

import pyautogui

# Holds down the alt key
pyautogui.keyDown("alt")

# Presses the tab key once
pyautogui.press("tab")

# Lets go of the alt key
pyautogui.keyUp("alt")

The import com.google.android.gms cannot be resolved

From my experience (Eclipse):

Added google-play-services_lib as a project and referenced it from my app.
Removed all jars added manually
Added google-play-services.jar in the "libs" folder of my project.
I had some big issues because I messed up with the Order and Export tab, so the working solution is (in this order): src, gen, Google APIs, Android Dependencies, Android Private Libraries (only this one checked to be exported).

CodeIgniter: How to get Controller, Action, URL information

As an addition

$this -> router -> fetch_module(); //Module Name if you are using HMVC Component

Reference to non-static member function must be called

The problem is that buttonClickedEvent is a member function and you need a pointer to member in order to invoke it.

Try this:

void (MyClass::*func)(int);
func = &MyClass::buttonClickedEvent;

And then when you invoke it, you need an object of type MyClass to do so, for example this:

(this->*func)(<argument>);

How to make a new line or tab in <string> XML (eclipse/android)?

add this line at the top of string.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and use

'\n'

from where you want to break your line.

ex. <string> Hello world. \n its awesome. <string>

Output:

Hello world.
its awesome.

XOR operation with two strings in java

This solution is compatible with Android (I've tested and used it myself). Thanks to @user467257 whose solution I adapted this from.

import android.util.Base64;

public class StringXORer {

public String encode(String s, String key) {
    return new String(Base64.encode(xorWithKey(s.getBytes(), key.getBytes()), Base64.DEFAULT));
}

public String decode(String s, String key) {
    return new String(xorWithKey(base64Decode(s), key.getBytes()));
}

private byte[] xorWithKey(byte[] a, byte[] key) {
    byte[] out = new byte[a.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        out[i] = (byte) (a[i] ^ key[i%key.length]);
    }
    return out;
}

private byte[] base64Decode(String s) {
    return Base64.decode(s,Base64.DEFAULT);
}

private String base64Encode(byte[] bytes) {
    return new String(Base64.encode(bytes,Base64.DEFAULT));

}
}

Style bottom Line in Android

Try next xml drawable code:

    <layer-list>
        <item android:top="-2dp" android:right="-2dp" android:left="-2dp">
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
                <stroke
                    android:width="1dp"
                    android:color="#fff" />
            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>

Keep SSH session alive

I wanted a one-time solution:

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 [email protected]

Stored it in an alias:

alias sshprod='ssh -v -o ServerAliveInterval=60 [email protected]'

Now can connect like this:

me@MyMachine:~$ sshprod

Top 1 with a left join

The key to debugging situations like these is to run the subquery/inline view on its' own to see what the output is:

  SELECT TOP 1 
         dm.marker_value, 
         dum.profile_id
    FROM DPS_USR_MARKERS dum (NOLOCK)
    JOIN DPS_MARKERS dm (NOLOCK) ON dm.marker_id= dum.marker_id 
                                AND dm.marker_key = 'moneyBackGuaranteeLength'
ORDER BY dm.creation_date

Running that, you would see that the profile_id value didn't match the u.id value of u162231993, which would explain why any mbg references would return null (thanks to the left join; you wouldn't get anything if it were an inner join).

You've coded yourself into a corner using TOP, because now you have to tweak the query if you want to run it for other users. A better approach would be:

   SELECT u.id, 
          x.marker_value 
     FROM DPS_USER u
LEFT JOIN (SELECT dum.profile_id,
                  dm.marker_value,
                  dm.creation_date
             FROM DPS_USR_MARKERS dum (NOLOCK)
             JOIN DPS_MARKERS dm (NOLOCK) ON dm.marker_id= dum.marker_id 
                                         AND dm.marker_key = 'moneyBackGuaranteeLength'
           ) x ON x.profile_id = u.id
     JOIN (SELECT dum.profile_id,
                  MAX(dm.creation_date) 'max_create_date'
             FROM DPS_USR_MARKERS dum (NOLOCK)
             JOIN DPS_MARKERS dm (NOLOCK) ON dm.marker_id= dum.marker_id 
                                         AND dm.marker_key = 'moneyBackGuaranteeLength'
         GROUP BY dum.profile_id) y ON y.profile_id = x.profile_id
                                   AND y.max_create_date = x.creation_date
    WHERE u.id = 'u162231993'

With that, you can change the id value in the where clause to check records for any user in the system.

Regex date validation for yyyy-mm-dd

This will match yyyy-mm-dd and also yyyy-m-d:

^\d{4}\-(0?[1-9]|1[012])\-(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$

Regular expression visualization

If you're looking for an exact match for yyyy-mm-dd then try this

^\d{4}\-(0[1-9]|1[012])\-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$

or use this one if you need to find a date inside a string like The date is 2017-11-30

\d{4}\-(0?[1-9]|1[012])\-(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])*

PHP DOMDocument loadHTML not encoding UTF-8 correctly

This took me a while to figure out but here's my answer.

Before using DomDocument I would use file_get_contents to retrieve urls and then process them with string functions. Perhaps not the best way but quick. After being convinced Dom was just as quick I first tried the following:

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
if ($dom->loadHTMLFile($url) == false) { // read the url
    // error message
}
else {
    // process
}

This failed spectacularly in preserving UTF-8 encoding despite the proper meta tags, php settings and all the rest of the remedies offered here and elsewhere. Here's what works:

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$str = file_get_contents($url);
if ($dom->loadHTML(mb_convert_encoding($str, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8')) == false) {
}

etc. Now everything's right with the world. Hope this helps.

Convert NVARCHAR to DATETIME in SQL Server 2008

What you exactly wan't to do ?. To change Datatype of column you can simple use alter command as

ALTER TABLE table_name ALTER COLUMN LoginDate DateTime;

But remember there should valid Date only in this column however data-type is nvarchar.

If you wan't to convert data type while fetching data then you can use CONVERT function as,

CONVERT(data_type(length),expression,style)

eg:

SELECT CONVERT(DateTime, loginDate, 6)

This will return 29 AUG 13. For details about CONVERT function you can visit ,

http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_convert.asp.

Remember, Always use DataTime data type for DateTime column.

Thank You

How to get rid of punctuation using NLTK tokenizer?

Sincerely asking, what is a word? If your assumption is that a word consists of alphabetic characters only, you are wrong since words such as can't will be destroyed into pieces (such as can and t) if you remove punctuation before tokenisation, which is very likely to affect your program negatively.

Hence the solution is to tokenise and then remove punctuation tokens.

import string

from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

tokens = word_tokenize("I'm a southern salesman.")
# ['I', "'m", 'a', 'southern', 'salesman', '.']

tokens = list(filter(lambda token: token not in string.punctuation, tokens))
# ['I', "'m", 'a', 'southern', 'salesman']

...and then if you wish, you can replace certain tokens such as 'm with am.

Google Maps Android API v2 - Interactive InfoWindow (like in original android google maps)

For those who couldn't get choose007's answer up and running

If clickListener is not working properly at all times in chose007's solution, try to implement View.onTouchListener instead of clickListener. Handle touch event using any of the action ACTION_UP or ACTION_DOWN. For some reason, maps infoWindow causes some weird behaviour when dispatching to clickListeners.

infoWindow.findViewById(R.id.my_view).setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
          int action = MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event);
          switch (action){
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                    Log.d(TAG,"a view in info window clicked" );
                    break;
                }
                return true;
          }

Edit : This is how I did it step by step

First inflate your own infowindow (global variable) somewhere in your activity/fragment. Mine is within fragment. Also insure that root view in your infowindow layout is linearlayout (for some reason relativelayout was taking full width of screen in infowindow)

infoWindow = (ViewGroup) getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.info_window, null);
/* Other global variables used in below code*/
private HashMap<Marker,YourData> mMarkerYourDataHashMap = new HashMap<>();
private GoogleMap mMap;
private MapWrapperLayout mapWrapperLayout;

Then in onMapReady callback of google maps android api (follow this if you donot know what onMapReady is Maps > Documentation - Getting Started )

   @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
       /*mMap is global GoogleMap variable in activity/fragment*/
        mMap = googleMap;
       /*Some function to set map UI settings*/ 
        setYourMapSettings();

MapWrapperLayout initialization http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14123243/google-maps-android-api-v2- interactive-infowindow-like-in-original-android-go/15040761#15040761 39 - default marker height 20 - offset between the default InfoWindow bottom edge and it's content bottom edge */

        mapWrapperLayout.init(mMap, Utils.getPixelsFromDp(mContext, 39 + 20));

        /*handle marker clicks separately - not necessary*/
       mMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(this);

       mMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
                @Override
                public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
                    return null;
                }

            @Override
            public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
                YourData data = mMarkerYourDataHashMap.get(marker);
                setInfoWindow(marker,data);
                mapWrapperLayout.setMarkerWithInfoWindow(marker, infoWindow);
                return infoWindow;
            }
        });
    }

SetInfoWindow method

private void setInfoWindow (final Marker marker, YourData data)
            throws NullPointerException{
        if (data.getVehicleNumber()!=null) {
            ((TextView) infoWindow.findViewById(R.id.VehicelNo))
                    .setText(data.getDeviceId().toString());
        }
        if (data.getSpeed()!=null) {
            ((TextView) infoWindow.findViewById(R.id.txtSpeed))
                    .setText(data.getSpeed());
        }

        //handle dispatched touch event for view click
        infoWindow.findViewById(R.id.any_view).setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                int action = MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event);
                switch (action) {
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                        Log.d(TAG,"any_view clicked" );
                        break;
                }
                return true;
            }
        });

Handle marker click separately

    @Override
    public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
        Log.d(TAG,"on Marker Click called");
        marker.showInfoWindow();
        CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
                .target(marker.getPosition())      // Sets the center of the map to Mountain View
                .zoom(10)
                .build();
        mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition),1000,null);
        return true;
    }

Converting an array to a function arguments list

A very readable example from another post on similar topic:

var args = [ 'p0', 'p1', 'p2' ];

function call_me (param0, param1, param2 ) {

}

// Calling the function using the array with apply()
call_me.apply(this, args);

Hide/Show Action Bar Option Menu Item for different fragments

Even though the question is old and answered. There is a simpler answer to that than the above mentioned. You don't need to use any other variables. You can create the buttons on action bar whatever the fragment you want, instead of doing the visibility stuff(show/hide).

Add the following in the fragment whatever u need the menu item.

public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

Sample menu.xml file:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_addFlat"
        android:icon="@drawable/add"
        android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
        android:title="@string/action_addFlat"/>
</menu>

Handling onclick events is as usual.

How to replace a string in an existing file in Perl?

$_='~s/blue/red/g';

Uh, what??

Just

s/blue/red/g;

or, if you insist on using a variable (which is not necessary when using $_, but I just want to show the right syntax):

$_ =~ s/blue/red/g;

What is the difference between Set and List?

List :

List is ordered grouping elements
List provides positional access in the elements of the collections.
We can store duplicate elements in the list.
List implements ArrayList, LinkedList, Vector and Stack.
List can store multiple null elements.

Set :

Unorderd grouping elements.
Set doesn’t provides positional access in the elements of the collections.
We can’t store duplicate elements in the set.
Set implement HashSet and LinkedHashSet interfaces.
Set can store only one null elements.

HashMap(key: String, value: ArrayList) returns an Object instead of ArrayList?

How is the HashMap declaration expressed in that scope? It should be:

HashMap<String, ArrayList> dictMap

If not, it is assumed to be Objects.

For instance, if your code is:

HashMap dictMap = new HashMap<String, ArrayList>();
...
ArrayList current = dictMap.get(dictCode);

that will not work. Instead you want:

HashMap<String, ArrayList> dictMap = new HashMap<String, Arraylist>();
...
ArrayList current = dictMap.get(dictCode);

The way generics work is that the type information is available to the compiler, but is not available at runtime. This is called type erasure. The implementation of HashMap (or any other generics implementation) is dealing with Object. The type information is there for type safety checks during compile time. See the Generics documentation.

Also note that ArrayList is also implemented as a generic class, and thus you might want to specify a type there as well. Assuming your ArrayList contains your class MyClass, the line above might be:

HashMap<String, ArrayList<MyClass>> dictMap

Chrome DevTools Devices does not detect device when plugged in

None of the mentioned answers worked for me. However, what worked for me is port forwarding. Steps detailed here:

Ensure you have adb installed (steps here for windowd, mac, ubuntu)
Ensure you have chrome running on your mobile device
On your PC, run the following from command line:

adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote
On running the above command, accept the authorization on your mobile phone. Below is the kind of output I see on my laptop:

$:/> adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *
Now open your chrome and enter 'localhost:9222' and you shall see the active tab to inspect.

Here is the source for this approach

What is a Python equivalent of PHP's var_dump()?

So I have taken the answers from this question and another question and came up below. I suspect this is not pythonic enough for most people, but I really wanted something that let me get a deep representation of the values some unknown variable has. I would appreciate any suggestions about how I can improve this or achieve the same behavior easier.

def dump(obj):
  '''return a printable representation of an object for debugging'''
  newobj=obj
  if '__dict__' in dir(obj):
    newobj=obj.__dict__
    if ' object at ' in str(obj) and not newobj.has_key('__type__'):
      newobj['__type__']=str(obj)
    for attr in newobj:
      newobj[attr]=dump(newobj[attr])
  return newobj

Here is the usage

class stdClass(object): pass
obj=stdClass()
obj.int=1
obj.tup=(1,2,3,4)
obj.dict={'a':1,'b':2, 'c':3, 'more':{'z':26,'y':25}}
obj.list=[1,2,3,'a','b','c',[1,2,3,4]]
obj.subObj=stdClass()
obj.subObj.value='foobar'

from pprint import pprint
pprint(dump(obj))

and the results.

{'__type__': '<__main__.stdClass object at 0x2b126000b890>',
 'dict': {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'more': {'y': 25, 'z': 26}},
 'int': 1,
 'list': [1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c', [1, 2, 3, 4]],
 'subObj': {'__type__': '<__main__.stdClass object at 0x2b126000b8d0>',
            'value': 'foobar'},
 'tup': (1, 2, 3, 4)}

Why is document.body null in my javascript?

Add your code to the onload event. The accepted answer shows this correctly, however that answer as well as all the others at the time of writing also suggest putting the script tag after the closing body tag, .

This is not valid html. However it will cause your code to work, because browsers are too kind ;)

See this answer for more info Is it wrong to place the <script> tag after the </body> tag?

Downvoted other answers for this reason.

Url to a google maps page to show a pin given a latitude / longitude?

From my notes:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=37.4185N+122.08774W+(label)&ll=37.419731,-122.088715&spn=0.004250,0.011579&t=h&iwloc=A&hl=en

Which parses like this:

    q=latN+lonW+(label)     location of teardrop

    t=k             keyhole (satelite map)
    t=h             hybrid

    ll=lat,-lon     center of map
    spn=w.w,h.h     span of map, degrees

iwloc has something to do with the info window. hl is obviously language.

Pip freeze vs. pip list

When you are using a virtualenv, you can specify a requirements.txt file to install all the dependencies.

A typical usage:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The packages need to be in a specific format for pip to understand, which is

feedparser==5.1.3
wsgiref==0.1.2
django==1.4.2
...

That is the "requirements format".

Here, django==1.4.2 implies install django version 1.4.2 (even though the latest is 1.6.x). If you do not specify ==1.4.2, the latest version available would be installed.

You can read more in "Virtualenv and pip Basics", and the official "Requirements File Format" documentation.

jQuery text() and newlines

You can use html instead of text and replace each occurrence of \n with <br>. You will have to correctly escape your text though.

x = x.replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
     .replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
     .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
     .replace(/\n/g, '<br>');

Kotlin Ternary Conditional Operator

Why would one use something like this:

when(a) {
  true -> b
  false -> b
}

when you can actually use something like this (a is boolean in this case):

when {
  a -> b
  else -> b
}

How to apply a function to two columns of Pandas dataframe

Here's an example using apply on the dataframe, which I am calling with axis = 1.

Note the difference is that instead of trying to pass two values to the function f, rewrite the function to accept a pandas Series object, and then index the Series to get the values needed.

In [49]: df
Out[49]: 
          0         1
0  1.000000  0.000000
1 -0.494375  0.570994
2  1.000000  0.000000
3  1.876360 -0.229738
4  1.000000  0.000000

In [50]: def f(x):    
   ....:  return x[0] + x[1]  
   ....:  

In [51]: df.apply(f, axis=1) #passes a Series object, row-wise
Out[51]: 
0    1.000000
1    0.076619
2    1.000000
3    1.646622
4    1.000000

Depending on your use case, it is sometimes helpful to create a pandas group object, and then use apply on the group.

Open File Dialog, One Filter for Multiple Excel Extensions?

If you want to merge the filters (eg. CSV and Excel files), use this formula:

Or if you want to see XML or PDF files in one time use this:

of.Filter = @" XML or PDF |*.xml;*.pdf";

PowerShell Connect to FTP server and get files

Easiest way to flip a boolean value?

This seems to be a free-for-all ... Heh. Here's another varation, which I guess is more in the category "clever" than something I'd recommend for production code:

flipVal ^= (wParam == VK_F11);
otherVal ^= (wParam == VK_F12);

I guess it's advantages are:

Very terse
Does not require branching

And a just as obvious disadvantage is

Very terse

This is close to @korona's solution using ?: but taken one (small) step further.

How can I tell how many objects I've stored in an S3 bucket?

I used the python script from scalablelogic.com (adding in the count logging). Worked great.

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import sys

from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection

s3bucket = S3Connection().get_bucket(sys.argv[1])
size = 0
totalCount = 0

for key in s3bucket.list():
    totalCount += 1
    size += key.size

print 'total size:'
print "%.3f GB" % (size*1.0/1024/1024/1024)
print 'total count:'
print totalCount

How can I disable the Maven Javadoc plugin from the command line?

It seems, that the simple way

-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

does not work with the release-plugin. in this case you have to pass the parameter as an "argument"

mvn release:perform -Darguments="-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true"

How to implement band-pass Butterworth filter with Scipy.signal.butter

For a bandpass filter, ws is a tuple containing the lower and upper corner frequencies. These represent the digital frequency where the filter response is 3 dB less than the passband.

wp is a tuple containing the stop band digital frequencies. They represent the location where the maximum attenuation begins.

gpass is the maximum attenutation in the passband in dB while gstop is the attentuation in the stopbands.

Say, for example, you wanted to design a filter for a sampling rate of 8000 samples/sec having corner frequencies of 300 and 3100 Hz. The Nyquist frequency is the sample rate divided by two, or in this example, 4000 Hz. The equivalent digital frequency is 1.0. The two corner frequencies are then 300/4000 and 3100/4000.

Now lets say you wanted the stopbands to be down 30 dB +/- 100 Hz from the corner frequencies. Thus, your stopbands would start at 200 and 3200 Hz resulting in the digital frequencies of 200/4000 and 3200/4000.

To create your filter, you'd call buttord as

fs = 8000.0
fso2 = fs/2
N,wn = scipy.signal.buttord(ws=[300/fso2,3100/fso2], wp=[200/fs02,3200/fs02],
   gpass=0.0, gstop=30.0)

The length of the resulting filter will be dependent upon the depth of the stop bands and the steepness of the response curve which is determined by the difference between the corner frequency and stopband frequency.

How an 'if (A && B)' statement is evaluated?

for logical && both the parameters must be true , then it ll be entered in if {} clock otherwise it ll execute else {}. for logical || one of parameter or condition is true is sufficient to execute if {}.

if( (A) && (B) ){
     //if A and B both are true
}else{
}
if( (A) ||(B) ){
     //if A or B is true 
}else{
}

How to establish ssh key pair when "Host key verification failed"

Most likely, the remote host ip or ip_alias is not in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. You can use the following command to add the host name to known_hosts file.

$ssh-keyscan -H -t rsa ip_or_ipalias >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Also, I have generated the following script to check if the particular ip or ipalias is in the know_hosts file.

#!/bin/bash
#Jason Xiong: Dec 2013   
# The ip or ipalias stored in known_hosts file is hashed and   
# is not human readable.This script check if the supplied ip    
# or ipalias exists in ~/.ssh/known_hosts file

if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
   echo "Usage: ./search_known_hosts -i ip_or_ipalias"
   exit;
fi
ip_or_alias=$2;
known_host_file=/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts
entry=1;

cat $known_host_file | while read -r line;do
  if [[ -z "$line" ]]; then
    continue;
  fi   
  hash_type=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/|/ /g'| awk '{print $1}'); 
  key=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/|/ /g'| awk '{print $2}');
  stored_value=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/|/ /g'| awk '{print $3}'); 
  hex_key=$(echo $key | base64 -d | xxd -p); 
  if  [[ $hash_type = 1 ]]; then      
     gen_value=$(echo -n $ip_or_alias | openssl sha1 -mac HMAC \
         -macopt hexkey:$hex_key | cut -c 10-49 | xxd -r -p | base64);     
     if [[ $gen_value = $stored_value ]]; then
       echo $gen_value;
       echo "Found match in known_hosts file : entry#"$entry" !!!!"
     fi
  else
     echo "unknown hash_type"
  fi
  entry=$((entry + 1));
done

How do I mock an autowired @Value field in Spring with Mockito?

It was now the third time I googled myself to this SO post as I always forget how to mock an @Value field. Though the accepted answer is correct, I always need some time to get the "setField" call right, so at least for myself I paste an example snippet here:

Production class:

@Value("#{myProps[‘some.default.url']}")
private String defaultUrl;

Test class:

import org.springframework.test.util.ReflectionTestUtils;

ReflectionTestUtils.setField(instanceUnderTest, "defaultUrl", "http://foo");
// Note: Don't use MyClassUnderTest.class, use the instance you are testing itself
// Note: Don't use the referenced string "#{myProps[‘some.default.url']}", 
//       but simply the FIELDs name ("defaultUrl")

activity.excludedActivityTypes = @[UIActivityTypePostToWeibo];

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    //activity.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = shareButtonBarItem;

    activity.popoverPresentationController.barButtonItem = shareButtonBarItem;

    [self presentViewController:activity animated:YES completion:nil];

}

Format numbers to strings in Python

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Capture key press without placing an input element on the page?

For modern JS, use `event.key`!

document.addEventListener("keypress", function onPress(event) {
    if (event.key === "z" && event.ctrlKey) {
        // Do something awesome
    }
});

NOTE: The old properties (.keyCode and .which) are Deprecated.

Multiple submit buttons on HTML form – designate one button as default

Set type=submit to the button you'd like to be default and type=button to other buttons. Now in the form below you can hit Enter in any input fields, and the Render button will work (despite the fact it is the second button in the form).

Example:

    <button id='close_button' class='btn btn-success'
            type=button>
      <span class='glyphicon glyphicon-edit'> </span> Edit program
    </button>
    <button id='render_button' class='btn btn-primary'
            type=submit>             <!--  Here we use SUBMIT, not BUTTON -->
      <span class='glyphicon glyphicon-send'> </span> Render
    </button>

Tested in FF24 and Chrome 35.

adb connection over tcp not working now

Thanks to sud007 for this answer. In my case, I only need this part of the solution:

In CMD/Terminal:

$ adb kill-server

$ adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

$ adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX

This bug brings more errors than unable to connect to 192.168.XXX.XXX:5555: Connection refused. In my case, I could connect to the device, but when you try to run the app. AndroidStudio stay in Installing APK forever. In this case, I needed to restart the phone too.

What does ellipsize mean in android?

Use ellipsize when you have fixed width, then it will automatically truncate the text & show the ellipsis at end,

it Won't work if you set layout_width as wrap_content & match_parent.

android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"

How to add a named sheet at the end of all Excel sheets?

Try to use:

Worksheets.Add (After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "MySheet"

If you want to check whether a sheet with the same name already exists, you can create a function:

Function funcCreateList(argCreateList)
    For Each Worksheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If argCreateList = Worksheet.Name Then
            Exit Function ' if found - exit function
        End If
    Next Worksheet
    Worksheets.Add (After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = argCreateList
End Function

When the function is created, you can call it from your main Sub, e.g.:

Sub main

    funcCreateList "MySheet"

Exit Sub
