Python locale error: unsupported locale setting

You probably do not have any de_DE locale available.

You can view a list of available locales with the locale -a command. For example, on my machine:

$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_IN.utf8
en_NG
en_NG.utf8
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZM
en_ZM.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
it_CH.utf8
it_IT.utf8
POSIX

Note that if you want to set the locale to it_IT you must also specify the .utf8:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'it_IT')   # error!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 539, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'it_IT.utf8')
'it_IT.utf8'

To install a new locale use:

sudo apt-get install language-pack-id

where id is the language code (taken from here)

After you have installed the locale you should follow Julien Palard advice and reconfigure the locales with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

What does SQL clause "GROUP BY 1" mean?

It means to group by the first column regardless of what it's called. You can do the same with ORDER BY.

How to get domain URL and application name?

Take a look at the documentation for HttpServletRequest.
In order to build the URL in your example you will need to use:

  • getScheme()
  • getServerName()
  • getServerPort()
  • getContextPath()

Here is a method that will return your example:

public static String getURLWithContextPath(HttpServletRequest request) {
   return request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort() + request.getContextPath();
}

How to get current PHP page name

$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; will give you the current filename and its path, but basename(__FILE__) should give you the filename that it is called from.

So

if(basename(__FILE__) == 'file_name.php') {
  //Hide
} else {
  //show
}

should do it.

Can you call ko.applyBindings to bind a partial view?

While Niemeyer's answer is a more correct answer to the question, you could also do the following:

<div>
  <input data-bind="value: VMA.name" />
</div>

<div>
  <input data-bind="value: VMB.name" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var viewModels = {
     VMA: {name: ko.observable("Bob")},
     VMB: {name: ko.observable("Ted")}
  };

  ko.applyBindings(viewModels);
</script>

This means you don't have to specify the DOM element, and you can even bind multiple models to the same element, like this:

<div>
  <input data-bind="value: VMA.name() + ' and ' + VMB.name()" />
</div>

REST API Best practices: Where to put parameters?

Late answer but I'll add some additional insight to what has been shared, namely that there are several types of "parameters" to a request, and you should take this into account.

  1. Locators - E.g. resource identifiers such as IDs or action/view
  2. Filters - E.g. parameters that provide a search for, sorting or narrow down the set of results.
  3. State - E.g. session identification, api keys, whatevs.
  4. Content - E.g. data to be stored.

Now let's look at the different places where these parameters could go.

  1. Request headers & cookies
  2. URL query string ("GET" vars)
  3. URL paths
  4. Body query string/multipart ("POST" vars)

Generally you want State to be set in headers or cookies, depending on what type of state information it is. I think we can all agree on this. Use custom http headers (X-My-Header) if you need to.

Similarly, Content only has one place to belong, which is in the request body, either as query strings or as http multipart and/or JSON content. This is consistent with what you receive from the server when it sends you content. So you shouldn't be rude and do it differently.

Locators such as "id=5" or "action=refresh" or "page=2" would make sense to have as a URL path, such as mysite.com/article/5/page=2 where partly you know what each part is supposed to mean (the basics such as article and 5 obviously mean get me the data of type article with id 5) and additional parameters are specified as part of the URI. They can be in the form of page=2, or page/2 if you know that after a certain point in the URI the "folders" are paired key-values.

Filters always go in the query string, because while they are a part of finding the right data, they are only there to return a subset or modification of what the Locators return alone. The search in mysite.com/article/?query=Obama (subset) is a filter, and so is /article/5?order=backwards (modification). Think about what it does, not just what it's called!

If "view" determines output format, then it is a filter (mysite.com/article/5?view=pdf) because it returns a modification of the found resource rather than homing in on which resource we want. If it instead decides which specific part of the article we get to see (mysite.com/article/5/view=summary) then it is a locator.

Remember, narrowing down a set of resources is filtering. Locating something specific within a resource is locating... duh. Subset filtering may return any number of results (even 0). Locating will always find that specific instance of something (if it exists). Modification filtering will return the same data as the locator, except modified (if such a modification is allowed).

Hope this helped give people some eureka moments if they've been lost about where to put stuff!

Access Tomcat Manager App from different host

To access the tomcat manager from different machine you have to follow bellow steps:

1. Update conf/tomcat-users.xml file with user and some roles:

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
 <role rolename="manager-script"/>
 <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
 <role rolename="manager-status"/>
 <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/>

Here admin user is assigning roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status".

Here tomcat user and password is : admin

2. Update webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml file (Allowing IP address):

Default configuration:

<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" >
  
  <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />
  
  <Manager sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter="java\.lang\.(?:Boolean|Integer|Long|Number|String)|org\.apache\.catalina\.filters\.CsrfPreventionFilter\$LruCache(?:\$1)?|java\.util\.(?:Linked)?HashMap"/>
</Context>

Here in Valve it is allowing only local machine IP start with 127.\d+.\d+.\d+ .

2.a : Allow specefic IP:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1|YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE" />

Here you just replace |YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE with your IP address

2.b : Allow all IP:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow=".*" />

Here using allow=".*" you are allowing all IP.

Thanks :)

Showing which files have changed between two revisions

There are two branches lets say

  • A (Branch on which you are working)
  • B (Another branch with which you want to compare)

Being in branch A you can type

git diff --color B

then this will give you a output of

enter image description here

The important point about this is

  1. Text in green is inside present in Branch A

  2. Text in red is present in Branch B

Overlay with spinner

use a css3 class "spinner". It's more beautiful and you don't need .gif

enter image description here

.spinner {
   position: absolute;
   left: 50%;
   top: 50%;
   height:60px;
   width:60px;
   margin:0px auto;
   -webkit-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
   -moz-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
   -o-animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
   animation: rotation .6s infinite linear;
   border-left:6px solid rgba(0,174,239,.15);
   border-right:6px solid rgba(0,174,239,.15);
   border-bottom:6px solid rgba(0,174,239,.15);
   border-top:6px solid rgba(0,174,239,.8);
   border-radius:100%;
}

@-webkit-keyframes rotation {
   from {-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);}
   to {-webkit-transform: rotate(359deg);}
}
@-moz-keyframes rotation {
   from {-moz-transform: rotate(0deg);}
   to {-moz-transform: rotate(359deg);}
}
@-o-keyframes rotation {
   from {-o-transform: rotate(0deg);}
   to {-o-transform: rotate(359deg);}
}
@keyframes rotation {
   from {transform: rotate(0deg);}
   to {transform: rotate(359deg);}
}

Exemple of what is looks like : http://jsbin.com/roqakuxebo/1/edit

You can find a lot of css spinners like this here : http://cssload.net/en/spinners/

Pass arguments into C program from command line

Instead of getopt(), you may also consider using argp_parse() (an alternative interface to the same library).

From libc manual:

getopt is more standard (the short-option only version of it is a part of the POSIX standard), but using argp_parse is often easier, both for very simple and very complex option structures, because it does more of the dirty work for you.

But I was always happy with the standard getopt.

N.B. GNU getopt with getopt_long is GNU LGPL.

How to access global js variable in AngularJS directive

I have tried these methods and find that they dont work for my needs. In my case, I needed to inject json rendered server side into the main template of the page, so when it loads and angular inits, the data is already there and doesnt have to be retrieved (large dataset).

The easiest solution that I have found is to do the following:

In your angular code outside of the app, module and controller definitions add in a global javascript value - this definition MUST come before the angular stuff is defined.

Example:

'use strict';

//my data variable that I need access to.
var data = null;

angular.module('sample', [])

Then in your controller:

.controller('SampleApp', function ($scope, $location) {

$scope.availableList = [];

$scope.init = function () {
    $scope.availableList = data;
}

Finally, you have to init everything (order matters):

  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.15/angular.min.js"></script>
  <script src="/path/to/your/angular/js/sample.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      data = <?= json_encode($cproducts); ?>
  </script>

Finally initialize your controller and init function.

  <div ng-app="samplerrelations" ng-controller="SamplerApp" ng-init="init();">

By doing this you will now have access to whatever data you stuffed into the global variable.

How to update a value in a json file and save it through node.js

I would strongly recommend not to use synchronous (blocking) functions, as they hold other concurrent operations. Instead, use asynchronous fs.promises:

const fs = require('fs').promises

const setValue = (fn, value) => 
  fs.readFile(fn)
    .then(body => JSON.parse(body))
    .then(json => {
      // manipulate your data here
      json.value = value
      return json
    })
    .then(json => JSON.stringify(json))
    .then(body => fs.writeFile(fn, body))
    .catch(error => console.warn(error))

Remeber that setValue returns a pending promise, you'll need to use .then function or, within async functions, the await operator.

// await operator
await setValue('temp.json', 1)           // save "value": 1
await setValue('temp.json', 2)           // then "value": 2
await setValue('temp.json', 3)           // then "value": 3

// then-sequence
setValue('temp.json', 1)                 // save "value": 1
  .then(() => setValue('temp.json', 2))  // then save "value": 2
  .then(() => setValue('temp.json', 3))  // then save "value": 3

Python send POST with header

If we want to add custom HTTP headers to a POST request, we must pass them through a dictionary to the headers parameter.

Here is an example with a non-empty body and headers:

import requests
import json

url = 'https://somedomain.com'
body = {'name': 'Maryja'}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}

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

Iterate through DataSet

foreach (DataTable table in dataSet.Tables)
{
    foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
        foreach (object item in row.ItemArray)
        {
            // read item
        }
    }
}

Or, if you need the column info:

foreach (DataTable table in dataSet.Tables)
{
    foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
        foreach (DataColumn column in table.Columns)
        {
            object item = row[column];
            // read column and item
        }
    }
}

Android Studio - Auto complete and other features not working

There can be several things which cause this.

  1. Make sure you've write the correct version in targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion.
  2. Make sure targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion are same.

Other solutions can be:

  1. Invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File ? Invalidate Caches / Restarts...
  2. Clean your project from Build ? Clean Project
  3. Rebuild project from Build ? Rebuild Project
  4. Make project from Build ? Make Project [this process may take some time]

Can the Android layout folder contain subfolders?

Top answers have several disadvantages: you have to add new layout paths, AS places new resources to res\layouts folder instead of res\values.

Combining several answers I wrote similar:

sourceSets {
    main {
        res.srcDirs =
                [
                        'src/main/res',
                        file("src/main/res/layouts/").listFiles(),
                        'src/main/res/layouts'
                ]
    }
}

I made folders with this article: http://alexzh.com/tutorials/how-to-store-layouts-in-different-folders-in-android-project/. In order to create subfolders you should use this menu: New > Folder > Res Folder.

UPDATE

After a couple of weeks I found that changes in resources are not noticed by Android Studio. So, some weird bugs appear. For instance, layouts continue to show old sizes, margins. Sometimes AS doesn't find new XML-files (especially during run-time). Sometimes it mixes view ids (references to another XML-file). It's often required to press Build > Clean Project or Build > Rebuild Project. Read Rebuild required after changing xml layout files in Android Studio.

Notification Icon with the new Firebase Cloud Messaging system

There is also one ugly but working way. Decompile FirebaseMessagingService.class and modify it's behavior. Then just put the class to the right package in yout app and dex use it instead of the class in the messaging lib itself. It is quite easy and working.

There is method:

private void zzo(Intent intent) {
    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
    bundle.remove("android.support.content.wakelockid");
    if (zza.zzac(bundle)) {  // true if msg is notification sent from FirebaseConsole
        if (!zza.zzdc((Context)this)) { // true if app is on foreground
            zza.zzer((Context)this).zzas(bundle); // create notification
            return;
        }
        // parse notification data to allow use it in onMessageReceived whe app is on foreground
        if (FirebaseMessagingService.zzav(bundle)) {
            zzb.zzo((Context)this, intent);
        }
    }
    this.onMessageReceived(new RemoteMessage(bundle));
}

This code is from version 9.4.0, method will have different names in different version because of obfuscation.

UPDATE multiple tables in MySQL using LEFT JOIN

UPDATE  t1
LEFT JOIN
        t2
ON      t2.id = t1.id
SET     t1.col1 = newvalue
WHERE   t2.id IS NULL

Note that for a SELECT it would be more efficient to use NOT IN / NOT EXISTS syntax:

SELECT  t1.*
FROM    t1
WHERE   t1.id NOT IN
        (
        SELECT  id
        FROM    t2
        )

See the article in my blog for performance details:

Unfortunately, MySQL does not allow using the target table in a subquery in an UPDATE statement, that's why you'll need to stick to less efficient LEFT JOIN syntax.

SQL Server - after insert trigger - update another column in the same table

It might be safer to exit the trigger when there is nothing to do. Checking the nested level or altering the database by switching off RECURSIVE can be prone to issues.

Ms sql provides a simple way, in a trigger, to see if specific columns have been updated. Use the UPDATE() method to see if certain columns have been updated such as UPDATE(part_description_upper).

IF UPDATE(part_description_upper)
  return

How to Programmatically Add Views to Views

gdb: how to print the current line or find the current line number?

Keep in mind that gdb is a powerful command -capable of low level instructions- so is tied to assembly concepts.

What you are looking for is called de instruction pointer, i.e:

The instruction pointer register points to the memory address which the processor will next attempt to execute. The instruction pointer is called ip in 16-bit mode, eip in 32-bit mode,and rip in 64-bit mode.

more detail here

all registers available on gdb execution can be shown with:

(gdb) info registers

with it you can find which mode your program is running (looking which of these registers exist)

then (here using most common register rip nowadays, replace with eip or very rarely ip if needed):

(gdb)info line *$rip

will show you line number and file source

(gdb) list *$rip

will show you that line with a few before and after

but probably

(gdb) frame

should be enough in many cases.

How do I build JSON dynamically in javascript?

First, I think you're calling it the wrong thing. "JSON" stands for "JavaScript Object Notation" - it's just a specification for representing some data in a string that explicitly mimics JavaScript object (and array, string, number and boolean) literals. You're trying to build up a JavaScript object dynamically - so the word you're looking for is "object".

With that pedantry out of the way, I think that you're asking how to set object and array properties.

// make an empty object
var myObject = {};

// set the "list1" property to an array of strings
myObject.list1 = ['1', '2'];

// you can also access properties by string
myObject['list2'] = [];
// accessing arrays is the same, but the keys are numbers
myObject.list2[0] = 'a';
myObject['list2'][1] = 'b';

myObject.list3 = [];
// instead of placing properties at specific indices, you
// can push them on to the end
myObject.list3.push({});
// or unshift them on to the beginning
myObject.list3.unshift({});
myObject.list3[0]['key1'] = 'value1';
myObject.list3[1]['key2'] = 'value2';

myObject.not_a_list = '11';

That code will build up the object that you specified in your question (except that I call it myObject instead of myJSON). For more information on accessing properties, I recommend the Mozilla JavaScript Guide and the book JavaScript: The Good Parts.

Multiple Inheritance in C#

If X inherits from Y, that has two somewhat orthogonal effects:

  1. Y will provide default functionality for X, so the code for X only has to include stuff which is different from Y.
  2. Almost anyplace a Y would be expected, an X may be used instead.

Although inheritance provides for both features, it is not hard to imagine circumstances where either could be of use without the other. No .net language I know of has a direct way of implementing the first without the second, though one could obtain such functionality by defining a base class which is never used directly, and having one or more classes that inherit directly from it without adding anything new (such classes could share all their code, but would not be substitutable for each other). Any CLR-compliant language, however, will allow the use of interfaces which provide the second feature of interfaces (substitutability) without the first (member reuse).

Check for false

You can use something simpler:

if(!var){
    console.log('var is false'); 
}

Kill a Process by Looking up the Port being used by it from a .BAT

To list all the process running on port 8080 do the following.

netstat -ano | find "8080"

TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       10612

TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING       10612

Then to kill the process run the following command

taskkill /F /PID 10612

Force IE8 Into IE7 Compatiblity Mode

its even simpler than that. Using HTML you can just add this metatag to your page (first thing on the page):

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

If you wanted to do it using.net, you just have to send your http request with that meta information in the header. This would require a page refresh to work though.

Also, you can look at a similar question here: Compatibility Mode in IE8 using VBScript

Normally we use ./fileName.js for importing own js file/module and fileName.js is used for importing package/library module

When you will include the main.js file to your webpage you must set the type="module" attribute as follows:

<script type="module" src="js/main.js"></script>

On Linux you will need to restart nginx / apache and phpfpm service so the new ini settings are loaded. On xampp, ammps you can restart these from control panel that comes with such applications.

Netbeans installation doesn't find JDK

Set the JAVA_HOME variable as noted above, but also set the JRE_HOME variable to the Java Runtime Environment folder (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\jre )

To set the windows environment variable, right click on My Computer and select "Properties" and choose the "Advanced" tab on older windows versions, or click the "Advanced system settings" link on new versions of windows. Click the "Environment Variables" button and, in the System Variables section, click the "New" button and add the above variable names and enter the appropriate filesystem paths as the values.

After you've installed Netbeans, check the following:

Open C:\Program Files (x86)\NetBeans 6.0.1\etc\netbeans.conf

Change this value to the location of your JDK folder if it isn't set correctly already:

netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_23"

Multiple conditions in an IF statement in Excel VBA

In VBA we can not use if jj = 5 or 6 then we must use if jj = 5 or jj = 6 then

maybe this:

If inputWks.Range("d9") > 0 And (inputWks.Range("d11") = "Restricted_Expenditure" Or inputWks.Range("d11") = "Unrestricted_Expenditure") Then

Add a new line to the end of a JtextArea

Instead of using JTextArea.setText(String text), use JTextArea.append(String text).

Appends the given text to the end of the document. Does nothing if the model is null or the string is null or empty.

This will add text on to the end of your JTextArea.

Another option would be to use getText() to get the text from the JTextArea, then manipulate the String (add or remove or change the String), then use setText(String text) to set the text of the JTextArea to be the new String.

Best implementation for hashCode method for a collection

If you use eclipse, you can generate equals() and hashCode() using:

Source -> Generate hashCode() and equals().

Using this function you can decide which fields you want to use for equality and hash code calculation, and Eclipse generates the corresponding methods.

Handling MySQL datetimes and timestamps in Java

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changing image on hover with CSS/HTML

The problem is that you set the first image through 'src' attribute and on hover added to the image a background-image. try this:

in html use:

<img id="Library">

then in css:

#Library {
    height: 70px;
    width: 120px;
    background-image: url('LibraryTransparent.png');
}

#Library:hover {
    background-image: url('LibraryHoverTrans.png');
}

Creating a Jenkins environment variable using Groovy

You can also define a variable without the EnvInject Plugin within your Groovy System Script:

import hudson.model.*
def build = Thread.currentThread().executable
def pa = new ParametersAction([
  new StringParameterValue("FOO", "BAR")
])
build.addAction(pa)

Then you can access this variable in the next build step which (for example) is an windows batch command:

@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
echo FOO=!FOO!

This echo will show you "FOO=BAR".

Error: fix the version conflict (google-services plugin)

The google play services requires all its dependencies to have the same version. But if you look at your dependencies:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

There is one that has a different version.

It can be solved by changing the version to (in this case) 11.0.4.

This applies to both Firebase and Google Play Services - both have to have matching versions that also correspond with each other. If a Firebase dependency is 10.0.1 and a Google Play Services dependency is 11.0.4, the same error will occur.

Note that in some cases, there can be a library that has a different version of a library (e.g. library x uses play-services-games:10.0.1 while you use 11.0.4 for the dependencies in your app)


Edit

This answer does NOT cover the newer versions where versions are individual. Update com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0 and check mvnrepository (or some other maven/gradle artifact search tool) to find the newest versions.

javascript regex : only english letters allowed

Another option is to use the case-insensitive flag i, then there's no need for the extra character range A-Z.

var reg = /^[a-z]+$/i;
console.log( reg.test("somethingELSE") ); //true
console.log( "somethingELSE".match(reg)[0] ); //"somethingELSE"

Here's a DEMO on how this regex works with test() and match().

How to find/identify large commits in git history?

You should use BFG Repo-Cleaner.

According to the website:

The BFG is a simpler, faster alternative to git-filter-branch for cleansing bad data out of your Git repository history:

  • Removing Crazy Big Files
  • Removing Passwords, Credentials & other Private data

The classic procedure for reducing the size of a repository would be:

git clone --mirror git://example.com/some-big-repo.git
java -jar bfg.jar --strip-biggest-blobs 500 some-big-repo.git
cd some-big-repo.git
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
git push

ASP.net Repeater get current index, pointer, or counter

Add a label control to your Repeater's ItemTemplate. Handle OnItemCreated event.

ASPX

<asp:Repeater ID="rptr" runat="server" OnItemCreated="RepeaterItemCreated">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div id="width:50%;height:30px;background:#0f0a0f;">
            <asp:Label ID="lblSr" runat="server" 
               style="width:30%;float:left;text-align:right;text-indent:-2px;" />
            <span 
               style="width:65%;float:right;text-align:left;text-indent:-2px;" >
            <%# Eval("Item") %>
            </span>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code Behind:

    protected void RepeaterItemCreated(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        Label l = e.Item.FindControl("lblSr") as Label;
        if (l != null)
            l.Text = e.Item.ItemIndex + 1+"";
    }

Post an object as data using Jquery Ajax

Just pass the object as is. Note you can create the object as follows

var data0 = {numberId: "1", companyId : "531"};

$.ajax({
 type: "POST",
 url: "TelephoneNumbers.aspx/DeleteNumber",
 data: dataO,
 contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
 dataType: "json",
 success: function(msg) {
 alert('In Ajax');
 }
});

UPDATE seems an odd issue with the serializer, maybe it is expecting a string, out of interest can you try the following.

data: "{'numberId':'1', 'companyId ':'531'}",

How to set a dropdownlist item as selected in ASP.NET?

You can set the SelectedValue to the value you want to select. If you already have selected item then you should clear the selection otherwise you would get "Cannot have multiple items selected in a DropDownList" error.

dropdownlist.ClearSelection();
dropdownlist.SelectedValue = value;

You can also use ListItemCollection.FindByText or ListItemCollection.FindByValue

dropdownlist.ClearSelection();  
dropdownlist.Items.FindByValue(value).Selected = true;

Use the FindByValue method to search the collection for a ListItem with a Value property that contains value specified by the value parameter. This method performs a case-sensitive and culture-insensitive comparison. This method does not do partial searches or wildcard searches. If an item is not found in the collection using this criteria, null is returned, MSDN.

If you expect that you may be looking for text/value that wont be present in DropDownList ListItem collection then you must check if you get the ListItem object or null from FindByText or FindByValue before you access Selected property. If you try to access Selected when null is returned then you will get NullReferenceException.

ListItem listItem = dropdownlist.Items.FindByValue(value);

if(listItem != null) 
{
   dropdownlist.ClearSelection();
   listItem.Selected = true;
}

How do we change the URL of a working GitLab install?

GitLab Omnibus

For an Omnibus install, it is a little different.

The correct place in an Omnibus install is:

/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
    external_url 'http://gitlab.example.com'

Finally, you'll need to execute sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure and sudo gitlab-ctl restart so the changes apply.


I was making changes in the wrong places and they were getting blown away.

The incorrect paths are:

/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/gitlab.yml
/var/opt/gitlab/.gitconfig
/var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/gitlab-http.conf

Pay attention to those warnings that read:

# This file is managed by gitlab-ctl. Manual changes will be
# erased! To change the contents below, edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
# and run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure`.

How to debug when Kubernetes nodes are in 'Not Ready' state

Steps to debug:-

In case you face any issue in kubernetes, first step is to check if kubernetes self applications are running fine or not.

Command to check:- kubectl get pods -n kube-system

If you see any pod is crashing, check it's logs

if getting NotReady state error, verify network pod logs.

if not able to resolve with above, follow below steps:-

  1. kubectl get nodes # Check which node is not in ready state

  2. kubectl describe node nodename #nodename which is not in readystate

  3. ssh to that node

  4. execute systemctl status kubelet # Make sure kubelet is running

  5. systemctl status docker # Make sure docker service is running

  6. journalctl -u kubelet # To Check logs in depth

Most probably you will get to know about error here, After fixing it reset kubelet with below commands:-

  1. systemctl daemon-reload
  2. systemctl restart kubelet

In case you still didn't get the root cause, check below things:-

  1. Make sure your node has enough space and memory. Check for /var directory space especially. command to check: -df -kh, free -m

  2. Verify cpu utilization with top command. and make sure any process is not taking an unexpected memory.

Get the real width and height of an image with JavaScript? (in Safari/Chrome)

How we get right real dimensions without a blink real image:

(function( $ ){
   $.fn.getDimensions=function(){
         alert("First example:This works only for HTML code without CSS width/height definition.");
         w=$(this, 'img')[0].width;
         h=$(this, 'img')[0].height;

         alert("This is a width/height on your monitor: " + $(this, 'img')[0].width+"/"+$(this, 'img')[0].height);

         //This is bad practice - it shows on your monitor
         $(this, 'img')[0].removeAttribute( "width" );
         $(this, 'img')[0].removeAttribute( "height" );
         alert("This is a bad effect of view after attributes removing, but we get right dimensions: "+  $(this, 'img')[0].width+"/"+$(this, 'img')[0].height);
         //I'am going to repare it
         $(this, 'img')[0].width=w;
         $(this, 'img')[0].height=h;
         //This is a good practice - it doesn't show on your monitor
         ku=$(this, 'img').clone(); //We will work with a clone
         ku.attr( "id","mnbv1lk87jhy0utrd" );//Markup clone for a final removing
         ku[0].removeAttribute( "width" );
         ku[0].removeAttribute( "height" );
         //Now we still get 0
         alert("There are still 0 before a clone appending to document: "+ $(ku)[0].width+"/"+$(ku)[0].height);
         //Hide a clone
         ku.css({"visibility" : "hidden",'position':'absolute','left':'-9999px'}); 
         //A clone appending
         $(document.body).append (ku[0]);
         alert("We get right dimensions: "+ $(ku)[0].width+"/"+$(ku)[0].height);
         //Remove a clone
         $("#mnbv1lk87jhy0utrd").remove();

         //But a next resolution is the best of all. It works in case of CSS definition of dimensions as well.
         alert("But if you want to read real dimensions for image with CSS class definition outside of img element, you can't do it with a clone of image. Clone method is working with CSS dimensions, a clone has dimensions as well as in CSS class. That's why you have to work with a new img element.");
         imgcopy=$('<img src="'+ $(this, 'img').attr('src') +'" />');//new object 
         imgcopy.attr( "id","mnbv1lk87jhy0aaa" );//Markup for a final removing
         imgcopy.css({"visibility" : "hidden",'position':'absolute','left':'-9999px'});//hide copy 
         $(document.body).append (imgcopy);//append to document 
         alert("We get right dimensions: "+ imgcopy.width()+"/"+imgcopy.height());
         $("#mnbv1lk87jhy0aaa").remove();


   }
})( jQuery );

$(document).ready(function(){

   $("img.toreaddimensions").click(function(){$(this).getDimensions();});
});

It works with <img class="toreaddimensions"...

Use component from another module

SOLVED HOW TO USE A COMPONENT DECLARED IN A MODULE IN OTHER MODULE.

Based on Royi Namir explanation (Thank you so much). There is a missing part to reuse a component declared in a Module in any other module while lazy loading is used.

1st: Export the component in the module which contains it:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [TaskCardComponent],
  imports: [MdCardModule],
  exports: [TaskCardComponent] <== this line
})
export class TaskModule{}

2nd: In the module where you want to use TaskCardComponent:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { MdCardModule } from '@angular2-material/card';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
   CommonModule,
   MdCardModule
   ],
  providers: [],
  exports:[ MdCardModule ] <== this line
})
export class TaskModule{}

Like this the second module imports the first module which imports and exports the component.

When we import the module in the second module we need to export it again. Now we can use the first component in the second module.

Is there a way to add/remove several classes in one single instruction with classList?

A better way to add the multiple classes separated by spaces in a string is using the Spread_syntax with the split:

How to install a previous exact version of a NPM package?

It's quite easy. Just write this, for example:

npm install -g npm@next      // For the most recent release

Should Jquery code go in header or footer?

Most jquery code executes on document ready, which doesn't happen until the end of the page anyway. Furthermore, page rendering can be delayed by javascript parsing/execution, so it's best practice to put all javascript at the bottom of the page.

Margin-Top not working for span element?

span is an inline element that doesn't support vertical margins. Put the margin on the outer div instead.

How can I auto hide alert box after it showing it?

You can't close an alert box with Javascript.

You could, however, use a window instead:

var w = window.open('','','width=100,height=100')
w.document.write('Message')
w.focus()
setTimeout(function() {w.close();}, 5000)

Switch between two frames in tkinter

Here is another simple answer, but without using classes.

from tkinter import *


def raise_frame(frame):
    frame.tkraise()

root = Tk()

f1 = Frame(root)
f2 = Frame(root)
f3 = Frame(root)
f4 = Frame(root)

for frame in (f1, f2, f3, f4):
    frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='news')

Button(f1, text='Go to frame 2', command=lambda:raise_frame(f2)).pack()
Label(f1, text='FRAME 1').pack()

Label(f2, text='FRAME 2').pack()
Button(f2, text='Go to frame 3', command=lambda:raise_frame(f3)).pack()

Label(f3, text='FRAME 3').pack(side='left')
Button(f3, text='Go to frame 4', command=lambda:raise_frame(f4)).pack(side='left')

Label(f4, text='FRAME 4').pack()
Button(f4, text='Goto to frame 1', command=lambda:raise_frame(f1)).pack()

raise_frame(f1)
root.mainloop()

SQL statement to get column type

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'your_table_name'

The only thing that needs to be changed is your_table_name.

SSIS how to set connection string dynamically from a config file

Some options:

  1. You can use the Execute Package Utility to change your datasource, before running the package.

  2. You can run your package using DTEXEC, and change your connection by passing in a /CONNECTION parameter. Probably save it as a batch so next time you don't need to type the whole thing and just change the datasource as required.

  3. You can use the SSIS XML package configuration file. Here is a walk through.

  4. You can save your configrations in a database table.

Purpose of ESI & EDI registers?

SI = Source Index
DI = Destination Index

As others have indicated, they have special uses with the string instructions. For real mode programming, the ES segment register must be used with DI and DS with SI as in

movsb  es:di, ds:si

SI and DI can also be used as general purpose index registers. For example, the C source code

srcp [srcidx++] = argv [j];

compiles into

8B550C         mov    edx,[ebp+0C]
8B0C9A         mov    ecx,[edx+4*ebx]
894CBDAC       mov    [ebp+4*edi-54],ecx
47             inc    edi

where ebp+12 contains argv, ebx is j, and edi has srcidx. Notice the third instruction uses edi mulitplied by 4 and adds ebp offset by 0x54 (the location of srcp); brackets around the address indicate indirection.


Though I can't remember where I saw it, but this confirms most of it, and this (slide 17) others:

AX = accumulator
DX = double word accumulator
CX = counter
BX = base register

They look like general purpose registers, but there are a number of instructions which (unexpectedly?) use one of them—but which one?—implicitly.

  background: #777;
  padding: 30px;
  padding-bottom: 0;
  font-size: 11px;
  border: 1px dotted #222;
}

.bottom-content {
  background: #999;
  width: 100%; /* you need this for it to work */
  margin-left: -30px; /* will touch very left side */
  padding-right: 60px; /* will touch very right side */
}

<div class='content'>

  <p>A paragraph</p>
  <p>Another paragraph.</p>
  <p>No more content</p>


  <div class='bottom-content'>
      I want this div to ignore padding.
  </div>

Check if a string is a palindrome

The various provided answers are wrong for numerous reasons, primarily from misunderstanding what a palindrome is. The majority only properly identify a subset of palindromes.

From Merriam-Webster

A word, verse, or sentence (such as "Able was I ere I saw Elba")

And from Wordnik

A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. For example: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!

Consider non-trivial palindromes such as "Malayalam" (it's a proper language, so naming rules apply, and it should be capitalized), or palindromic sentences such as "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" or "No 'X' in Nixon".

These are recognized palindromes in any literature.

I'm lifting the thorough solution from a library providing this kind of stuff that I'm the primary author of, so the solution works for both String and ReadOnlySpan<Char> because that's a requirement I've imposed on the library. The solution for purely String will be easy to determine from this, however.

public static Boolean IsPalindrome(this String @string) =>
    !(@string is null) && @string.AsSpan().IsPalindrome();

public static Boolean IsPalindrome(this ReadOnlySpan<Char> span) {
    // First we need to build the string without any punctuation or whitespace or any other
    // unrelated-to-reading characters.
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(span.Length);
    foreach (Char s in span) {
        if (!(s.IsControl()
            || s.IsPunctuation()
            || s.IsSeparator()
            || s.IsWhiteSpace()) {
            _ = builder.Append(s);
        }
    }
    String prepped = builder.ToString();
    String reversed = prepped.Reverse().Join();
    // Now actually check it's a palindrome
    return String.Equals(prepped, reversed, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);
}

You're going to want variants of this that accept a CultureInfo parameter as well, when you're testing a specific language rather than your own language, by instead calling .ToUpper(cultureInfo) on prepped.

And here's proof from the projects unit tests that it works.

Angular2 change detection: ngOnChanges not firing for nested object

Change detection is not triggered when you change a property of an object (including nested object). One solution would be to reassign a new object reference using 'lodash' clone() function.

How to write a shell script that runs some commands as superuser and some commands not as superuser, without having to babysit it?

You should run your entire script as superuser. If you want to run some command as non-superuser, use "-u" option of sudo:

#!/bin/bash

sudo -u username command1
command2
sudo -u username command3
command4

When running as root, sudo doesn't ask for a password.

How to pass complex object to ASP.NET WebApi GET from jQuery ajax call?

If you append json data to query string, and parse it later in web api side. you can parse complex object. It's useful rather than post json object style. This is my solution.

//javascript file 
var data = { UserID: "10", UserName: "Long", AppInstanceID: "100", ProcessGUID: "BF1CC2EB-D9BD-45FD-BF87-939DD8FF9071" };
var request = JSON.stringify(data);
request = encodeURIComponent(request);

doAjaxGet("/ProductWebApi/api/Workflow/StartProcess?data=", request, function (result) {
    window.console.log(result);
});

//webapi file:
[HttpGet]
public ResponseResult StartProcess()
{
    dynamic queryJson = ParseHttpGetJson(Request.RequestUri.Query);
        int appInstanceID = int.Parse(queryJson.AppInstanceID.Value);
    Guid processGUID = Guid.Parse(queryJson.ProcessGUID.Value);
    int userID = int.Parse(queryJson.UserID.Value);
    string userName = queryJson.UserName.Value;
}

//utility function:
public static dynamic ParseHttpGetJson(string query)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(query))
    {
        try
        {
            var json = query.Substring(7, query.Length - 7); //seperate ?data= characters
            json = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(json);
            dynamic queryJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);

            return queryJson;
        }
        catch (System.Exception e)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("can't deserialize object as wrong string content!", e);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Confused about Service vs Factory

The basic difference, is that provider allows to set primitive (non-objects), array, or callback function values into the factory declared variable, and thus if returning an object it has to be explicitly declared and returned.

On the other hand a service can only be used to set the service declared variable to an object, thus we can avoid the explicit creation and returning of the objects, while on the other hand it allows usage of the this keyword.

Or in short words "provider is a more generic form while service is limited to objects only".

In case you are uploading an sql file on cpanel, then try and replace root with your cpanel username in your sql file.

in the case above you could write

CREATE DEFINER = control_panel_username@localhost FUNCTION fnc_calcWalkedDistance

then upload the file. Hope it helps

rand() returns the same number each time the program is run

You need to change the seed.

int main() {

    srand(time(NULL));
    cout << (rand() % 101);
    return 0;
}

the srand seeding thing is true also for a c language code.

Input widths on Bootstrap 3

In Bootstrap 3

All textual < input >, < textarea >, and < select > elements with .form-control are set to width: 100%; by default.

http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-example

It seems, in some cases, we have to set manually the max width we want for the inputs.

Anyway, your example works. Just check it with a large screen, so you can see the name and email fields are getting the 2/12 of the with (col-lg-1 + col-lg-1 and you have 12 columns). But if you have a smaller screen (just resize your browser), the inputs will expand until the end of the row.

Rendering an array.map() in React

Add up to Dmitry's answer, if you don't want to handle unique key IDs manually, you can use React.Children.toArray as proposed in the React documentation

React.Children.toArray

Returns the children opaque data structure as a flat array with keys assigned to each child. Useful if you want to manipulate collections of children in your render methods, especially if you want to reorder or slice this.props.children before passing it down.

Note:

React.Children.toArray() changes keys to preserve the semantics of nested arrays when flattening lists of children. That is, toArray prefixes each key in the returned array so that each element’s key is scoped to the input array containing it.

 <div>
    <ul>
      {
        React.Children.toArray(
          this.state.data.map((item, i) => <li>Test</li>)
        )
      }
    </ul>
  </div>

What is the difference between %g and %f in C?

E = exponent expression, simply means power(10, n) or 10 ^ n

F = fraction expression, default 6 digits precision

G = gerneral expression, somehow smart to show the number in a concise way (but really?)

See the below example,

The code

void main(int argc, char* argv[])  
{  
        double a = 4.5;
        printf("=>>>> below is the example for printf 4.5\n");
        printf("%%e %e\n",a);
        printf("%%f %f\n",a);
        printf("%%g %g\n",a);
        printf("%%E %E\n",a);
        printf("%%F %F\n",a);
        printf("%%G %G\n",a);
          
        double b = 1.79e308;
        printf("=>>>> below is the exbmple for printf 1.79*10^308\n");
        printf("%%e %e\n",b);
        printf("%%f %f\n",b);
        printf("%%g %g\n",b);
        printf("%%E %E\n",b);
        printf("%%F %F\n",b);
        printf("%%G %G\n",b);

        double d = 2.25074e-308;
        printf("=>>>> below is the example for printf 2.25074*10^-308\n");
        printf("%%e %e\n",d);
        printf("%%f %f\n",d);
        printf("%%g %g\n",d);
        printf("%%E %E\n",d);
        printf("%%F %F\n",d);
        printf("%%G %G\n",d);
}  

The output

C++ Redefinition Header Files (winsock2.h)

I ran into this problem when trying to pull a third party package which was apparently including windows.h somewhere in it's mess of headers. Defining _WINSOCKAPI_ at the project level was much easier (not to mention more maintainable) than wading through their soup and fixing the problematic include.

Debugging with command-line parameters in Visual Studio

The Mozilla.org FAQ on debugging Mozilla on Windows is of interest here.

In short, the Visual Studio debugger can be invoked on a program from the command line, allowing one to specify the command line arguments when invoking a command line program, directly on the command line.

This looks like the following for Visual Studio 8 or 9 (Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008, respectively)

  devenv /debugexe 'program name' 'program arguments'

It is also possible to have an explorer action to start a program in the Visual Studio debugger.

appending array to FormData and send via AJAX

I've fixed the typescript version. For javascript, just remove type definitions.

  _getFormDataKey(key0: any, key1: any): string {
    return !key0 ? key1 : `${key0}[${key1}]`;
  }
  _convertModelToFormData(model: any, key: string, frmData?: FormData): FormData {
    let formData = frmData || new FormData();

    if (!model) return formData;

    if (model instanceof Date) {
      formData.append(key, model.toISOString());
    } else if (model instanceof Array) {
      model.forEach((element: any, i: number) => {
        this._convertModelToFormData(element, this._getFormDataKey(key, i), formData);
      });
    } else if (typeof model === 'object' && !(model instanceof File)) {
      for (let propertyName in model) {
        if (!model.hasOwnProperty(propertyName) || !model[propertyName]) continue;
        this._convertModelToFormData(model[propertyName], this._getFormDataKey(key, propertyName), formData);
      }
    } else {
      formData.append(key, model);
    }

    return formData;
  }

How can I find an element by CSS class with XPath?

XPath has a contains-token function, specifically designed for this situation:

//div[contains-token(@class, 'Test')]

It's only supported in the latest version of XPath (3.1) so you'll need an up-to-date implementation.

Getting hold of the outer class object from the inner class object

Within the inner class itself, you can use OuterClass.this. This expression, which allows to refer to any lexically enclosing instance, is described in the JLS as Qualified this.

I don't think there's a way to get the instance from outside the code of the inner class though. Of course, you can always introduce your own property:

public OuterClass getOuter() {
    return OuterClass.this;
}

EDIT: By experimentation, it looks like the field holding the reference to the outer class has package level access - at least with the JDK I'm using.

EDIT: The name used (this$0) is actually valid in Java, although the JLS discourages its use:

The $ character should be used only in mechanically generated source code or, rarely, to access pre-existing names on legacy systems.

How to execute two mysql queries as one in PHP/MYSQL?

It says on the PHP site that multiple queries are NOT permitted (EDIT: This is only true for the mysql extension. mysqli and PDO allow multiple queries) . So you can't do it in PHP, BUT, why can't you just execute that query in another mysql_query call, (like Jon's example)? It should still give you the correct result if you use the same connection. Also, mysql_num_rows may help also.

Initialize/reset struct to zero/null

Define a const static instance of the struct with the initial values and then simply assign this value to your variable whenever you want to reset it.

For example:

static const struct x EmptyStruct;

Here I am relying on static initialization to set my initial values, but you could use a struct initializer if you want different initial values.

Then, each time round the loop you can write:

myStructVariable = EmptyStruct;

Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown?

I have found a solution to my problems that it's pretty same as yours.

First of all, I only have a LinearLayout with 2 elements, an ImageView and a LinearLayout wich contains 2 EditText and one Button, so I needed to keep them separate in full screen without keyboard, and when the keyboard appears they should look closer.

So I added the view between them with the height attribute in 0dp and weight 1, that let me keep my views separate one form each other. and when the keyboard appers, as they don't have a fix height, they just resize and keep the aspect.

Voila! The layout resize and the distance between my views is the same when the keyboard is or not present.

Getting "type or namespace name could not be found" but everything seems ok?

Had the same problem after merging some new code into a vs2019 project. Restarted VS, unloaded and reloaded projects, ensured all projects in solution had same ToolsVersion= and TargetFrameworkVersion. None of this helped.

I had a case of project Substrate, failing to find namespace Skin (in project Skin).

Finally I opened up Substrate.csproj and checked all the ProjectReference Include entries. The others were there, but no reference to Skin, even though Skin did show up in the check box of the little project dependencies dialog. So the project dependencies dialog took the check box for Skin (and saved it somewhere) but did not alter Substrate.csproj. I then added the ProjectReference Include manually, ensuring I had the correct path and GUID for the skin project.

<ProjectReference Include="..\Skin\Skin.csproj">
  <Project>{1ad4b5d7-5014-4f5f-983e-2c59ac0e0028}</Project>
  <Name>Skin</Name>
</ProjectReference>

I then saved the Substrate.csproj and the problem was solved. So as others have said this is a problem with VS tooling

How to Get True Size of MySQL Database?

None of the answers include the overhead size and the metadata sizes of tables.

Here is a more accurate estimation of the "disk space" allocated by a database.

SELECT ROUND((SUM(data_length+index_length+data_free) + (COUNT(*) * 300 * 1024))/1048576+150, 2) AS MegaBytes FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = 'DATABASE-NAME'

Staging Deleted files

To stage all manually deleted files you can use:

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)

To add an alias to this command as git rm-deleted, run:

git config --global alias.rm-deleted '!git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)'

postgres default timezone

Note many third-party clients have own timezone settings overlapping any Postgres server and\or session settings.

E.g. if you're using 'IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3' (or DataGrips), you should define timezone as:

'DB source properties' -> 'Advanced' tab -> 'VM Options': -Duser.timezone=UTC+06:00

otherwise you will see 'UTC' despite of whatever you have set anywhere else.

How do I see the extensions loaded by PHP?

You want to run:

 php -m 

on the command line,

or if you have access to the server configuration file open

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and look at all the the extensions,

you can even enable or disable them by switching between On and Off like this

<Extension_name> = <[On | Off]>

How do I create a Bash alias?

You probably want to edit the .bashrc file in your home directory.

Gradle Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'

None of the answers here helped. I needed to have "apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'" in my gradle. What helped was updating Android Studio to the latest version. I was then able to add the plugin and connect to Firebase Messaging Service.

Java character array initializer

you are doing it wrong, you have first split the string using space as a delimiter using String.split() and populate the char array with charcters.

or even simpler just use String.charAt() in the loop to populate array like below:

String ini="Hi there";
  char[] array=new  char[ini.length()];

  for(int count=0;count<array.length;count++){
         array[count] = ini.charAt(count);
  System.out.print(" "+array[count]);
  }

or one liner would be

  String ini="Hi there";
  char[] array=ini.toCharArray();

Pros/cons of using redux-saga with ES6 generators vs redux-thunk with ES2017 async/await

Having reviewed a few different large scale React/Redux projects in my experience Sagas provide developers a more structured way of writing code that is much easier to test and harder to get wrong.

Yes it is a little wierd to start with, but most devs get enough of an understanding of it in a day. I always tell people to not worry about what yield does to start with and that once you write a couple of test it will come to you.

I have seen a couple of projects where thunks have been treated as if they are controllers from the MVC patten and this quickly becomes an unmaintable mess.

My advice is to use Sagas where you need A triggers B type stuff relating to a single event. For anything that could cut across a number of actions, I find it is simpler to write customer middleware and use the meta property of an FSA action to trigger it.

Clear the cache in JavaScript

Other than caching every hour, or every week, you may cache according to file data.

Example (in PHP):

<script src="js/my_script.js?v=<?=md5_file('js/my_script.js')?>"></script>

or even use file modification time:

<script src="js/my_script.js?v=<?=filemtime('js/my_script.js')?>"></script>

Is Tomcat running?

If tomcat is installed locally, type the following url in a browser window: { localhost:8080 }

This will display Tomcat home page with the following message.

If you're seeing this, you've successfully installed Tomcat. Congratulations!

If tomcat is installed on a separate server, you can type replace localhost by a valid hostname or Iess where tomcat is installed.

The above applies for a standard installation wherein tomcat uses the default port 8080

Display List in a View MVC

You are passing wrong mode to you view. Your view is looking for @model IEnumerable<Standings.Models.Teams> and you are passing var model = tm.Name.ToList(); name list. You have to pass list of Teams.

You have to pass following model

var model = new List<Teams>();

model.Add(new Teams { Name =  new List<string>(){"Sky","ABC"}});
model.Add(new Teams { Name =  new List<string>(){"John","XYZ"} });
return View(model);

Java Could not reserve enough space for object heap error

I had this problem. I solved it with downloading 64x of the Java. Here is the link: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=87443

What is the difference between a framework and a library?

This is how I think of it (and have seen rationalized by others):

A library is something contained within your code. And a framework is a container for your application.

When correctly use Task.Run and when just async-await

Note the guidelines for performing work on a UI thread, collected on my blog:

  • Don't block the UI thread for more than 50ms at a time.
  • You can schedule ~100 continuations on the UI thread per second; 1000 is too much.

There are two techniques you should use:

1) Use ConfigureAwait(false) when you can.

E.g., await MyAsync().ConfigureAwait(false); instead of await MyAsync();.

ConfigureAwait(false) tells the await that you do not need to resume on the current context (in this case, "on the current context" means "on the UI thread"). However, for the rest of that async method (after the ConfigureAwait), you cannot do anything that assumes you're in the current context (e.g., update UI elements).

For more information, see my MSDN article Best Practices in Asynchronous Programming.

2) Use Task.Run to call CPU-bound methods.

You should use Task.Run, but not within any code you want to be reusable (i.e., library code). So you use Task.Run to call the method, not as part of the implementation of the method.

So purely CPU-bound work would look like this:

// Documentation: This method is CPU-bound.
void DoWork();

Which you would call using Task.Run:

await Task.Run(() => DoWork());

Methods that are a mixture of CPU-bound and I/O-bound should have an Async signature with documentation pointing out their CPU-bound nature:

// Documentation: This method is CPU-bound.
Task DoWorkAsync();

Which you would also call using Task.Run (since it is partially CPU-bound):

await Task.Run(() => DoWorkAsync());

What's the difference between tilde(~) and caret(^) in package.json?

Tilde (~)

major version is fixed, minor version is fixed, matches any build number

"express": "~4.13.3" 

~4.13.3 means it will check for 4.13.x where x is anything and 4.14.0

Caret (^)

major version is fixed, matches any minor version, matches any build number

"supertest": "^3.0.0"

^3.0.0 means it will check for 3.x.x where x is anything

How to pass query parameters with a routerLink

queryParams

queryParams is another input of routerLink where they can be passed like

<a [routerLink]="['../']" [queryParams]="{prop: 'xxx'}">Somewhere</a>

fragment

<a [routerLink]="['../']" [queryParams]="{prop: 'xxx'}" [fragment]="yyy">Somewhere</a>

routerLinkActiveOptions

To also get routes active class set on parent routes:

[routerLinkActiveOptions]="{ exact: false }"

To pass query parameters to this.router.navigate(...) use

let navigationExtras: NavigationExtras = {
  queryParams: { 'session_id': sessionId },
  fragment: 'anchor'
};

// Navigate to the login page with extras
this.router.navigate(['/login'], navigationExtras);

See also https://angular.io/guide/router#query-parameters-and-fragments

JFrame background image

I used a very similar method to @bott, but I modified it a little bit to make there be no need to resize the image:

BufferedImage img = null;
try {
    img = ImageIO.read(new File("image.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
Image dimg = img.getScaledInstance(800, 508, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(dimg);
setContentPane(new JLabel(imageIcon));

Works every time. You can also get the width and height of the jFrame and use that in place of the 800 and 508 respectively.

vi/vim editor, copy a block (not usual action)

Keyboard shortcuts to that are:

  1. For copy: Place cursor on starting of block and press md and then goto end of block and press y'd. This will select the block to paste it press p

  2. For cut: Place cursor on starting of block and press ma and then goto end of block and press d'a. This will select the block to paste it press p

Mocking Extension Methods with Moq

I have used a Wrapper to get around this problem. Create a wrapper object and pass your mocked method.

See Mocking Static Methods for Unit Testing by Paul Irwin, it has nice examples.

How do I convert from int to Long in Java?

As soon as there is only method Long.valueOf(long), cast from int to long will be done implicitly in case of using Long.valueOf(intValue).

The more clear way to do this is

Integer.valueOf(intValue).longValue()

Heroku + node.js error (Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch)

I had same issue but with express and apollo-server. The solution from here:

The only special consideration that needs to be made is to allow heroku to choose the port that the server is deployed to. Otherwise, there may be errors, such as a request timeout.

To configure apollo-server to use a port defined by Heroku at runtime, the listen function in your setup file can be called with a port defined by the PORT environment variable:

> server.listen({ port: process.env.PORT || 4000 }).then(({ url }) => { 
> console.log(`Server ready at ${url}`); });

Handle JSON Decode Error when nothing returned

There is a rule in Python programming called "it is Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than for Permission" (in short: EAFP). It means that you should catch exceptions instead of checking values for validity.

Thus, try the following:

try:
    qByUser = byUsrUrlObj.read()
    qUserData = json.loads(qByUser).decode('utf-8')
    questionSubjs = qUserData["all"]["questions"]
except ValueError:  # includes simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError
    print 'Decoding JSON has failed'

EDIT: Since simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError actually inherits from ValueError (proof here), I simplified the catch statement by just using ValueError.

What is the reason for the error message "System cannot find the path specified"?

There is not only 1 %SystemRoot%\System32 on Windows x64. There are 2 such directories.

The real %SystemRoot%\System32 directory is for 64-bit applications. This directory contains a 64-bit cmd.exe.

But there is also %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 for 32-bit applications. This directory is used if a 32-bit application accesses %SystemRoot%\System32. It contains a 32-bit cmd.exe.

32-bit applications can access %SystemRoot%\System32 for 64-bit applications by using the alias %SystemRoot%\Sysnative in path.

For more details see the Microsoft documentation about File System Redirector.

So the subdirectory run was created either in %SystemRoot%\System32 for 64-bit applications and 32-bit cmd is run for which this directory does not exist because there is no subdirectory run in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 which is %SystemRoot%\System32 for 32-bit cmd.exe or the subdirectory run was created in %SystemRoot%\System32 for 32-bit applications and 64-bit cmd is run for which this directory does not exist because there is no subdirectory run in %SystemRoot%\System32 as this subdirectory exists only in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64.

The following code could be used at top of the batch file in case of subdirectory run is in %SystemRoot%\System32 for 64-bit applications:

@echo off
set "SystemPath=%SystemRoot%\System32"
if not "%ProgramFiles(x86)%" == "" if exist %SystemRoot%\Sysnative\* set "SystemPath=%SystemRoot%\Sysnative"

Every console application in System32\run directory must be executed with %SystemPath% in the batch file, for example %SystemPath%\run\YourApp.exe.

How it works?

There is no environment variable ProgramFiles(x86) on Windows x86 and therefore there is really only one %SystemRoot%\System32 as defined at top.

But there is defined the environment variable ProgramFiles(x86) with a value on Windows x64. So it is additionally checked on Windows x64 if there are files in %SystemRoot%\Sysnative. In this case the batch file is processed currently by 32-bit cmd.exe and only in this case %SystemRoot%\Sysnative needs to be used at all. Otherwise %SystemRoot%\System32 can be used also on Windows x64 as when the batch file is processed by 64-bit cmd.exe, this is the directory containing the 64-bit console applications (and the subdirectory run).

Note: %SystemRoot%\Sysnative is not a directory! It is not possible to cd to %SystemRoot%\Sysnative or use if exist %SystemRoot%\Sysnative or if exist %SystemRoot%\Sysnative\. It is a special alias existing only for 32-bit executables and therefore it is necessary to check if one or more files exist on using this path by using if exist %SystemRoot%\Sysnative\cmd.exe or more general if exist %SystemRoot%\Sysnative\*.

ESLint Parsing error: Unexpected token

Unexpected token errors in ESLint parsing occur due to incompatibility between your development environment and ESLint's current parsing capabilities with the ongoing changes with JavaScripts ES6~7.

Adding the "parserOptions" property to your .eslintrc is no longer enough for particular situations, such as using

static contextTypes = { ... } /* react */

in ES6 classes as ESLint is currently unable to parse it on its own. This particular situation will throw an error of:

error Parsing error: Unexpected token =

The solution is to have ESLint parsed by a compatible parser. babel-eslint is a package that saved me recently after reading this page and i decided to add this as an alternative solution for anyone coming later.

just add:

"parser": "babel-eslint"

to your .eslintrc file and run npm install babel-eslint --save-dev or yarn add -D babel-eslint.

Please note that as the new Context API starting from React ^16.3 has some important changes, please refer to the official guide.

What is private bytes, virtual bytes, working set?

The short answer to this question is that none of these values are a reliable indicator of how much memory an executable is actually using, and none of them are really appropriate for debugging a memory leak.

Private Bytes refer to the amount of memory that the process executable has asked for - not necessarily the amount it is actually using. They are "private" because they (usually) exclude memory-mapped files (i.e. shared DLLs). But - here's the catch - they don't necessarily exclude memory allocated by those files. There is no way to tell whether a change in private bytes was due to the executable itself, or due to a linked library. Private bytes are also not exclusively physical memory; they can be paged to disk or in the standby page list (i.e. no longer in use, but not paged yet either).

Working Set refers to the total physical memory (RAM) used by the process. However, unlike private bytes, this also includes memory-mapped files and various other resources, so it's an even less accurate measurement than the private bytes. This is the same value that gets reported in Task Manager's "Mem Usage" and has been the source of endless amounts of confusion in recent years. Memory in the Working Set is "physical" in the sense that it can be addressed without a page fault; however, the standby page list is also still physically in memory but not reported in the Working Set, and this is why you might see the "Mem Usage" suddenly drop when you minimize an application.

Virtual Bytes are the total virtual address space occupied by the entire process. This is like the working set, in the sense that it includes memory-mapped files (shared DLLs), but it also includes data in the standby list and data that has already been paged out and is sitting in a pagefile on disk somewhere. The total virtual bytes used by every process on a system under heavy load will add up to significantly more memory than the machine actually has.

So the relationships are:

  • Private Bytes are what your app has actually allocated, but include pagefile usage;
  • Working Set is the non-paged Private Bytes plus memory-mapped files;
  • Virtual Bytes are the Working Set plus paged Private Bytes and standby list.

There's another problem here; just as shared libraries can allocate memory inside your application module, leading to potential false positives reported in your app's Private Bytes, your application may also end up allocating memory inside the shared modules, leading to false negatives. That means it's actually possible for your application to have a memory leak that never manifests itself in the Private Bytes at all. Unlikely, but possible.

Private Bytes are a reasonable approximation of the amount of memory your executable is using and can be used to help narrow down a list of potential candidates for a memory leak; if you see the number growing and growing constantly and endlessly, you would want to check that process for a leak. This cannot, however, prove that there is or is not a leak.

One of the most effective tools for detecting/correcting memory leaks in Windows is actually Visual Studio (link goes to page on using VS for memory leaks, not the product page). Rational Purify is another possibility. Microsoft also has a more general best practices document on this subject. There are more tools listed in this previous question.

I hope this clears a few things up! Tracking down memory leaks is one of the most difficult things to do in debugging. Good luck.

Making a Sass mixin with optional arguments

Sass supports @if statements. (See the documentation.)

You could write your mixin like this:

@mixin box-shadow($top, $left, $blur, $color, $inset:"") {
  @if $inset != "" {
    -webkit-box-shadow:$top $left $blur $color $inset;
    -moz-box-shadow:$top $left $blur $color $inset;
    box-shadow:$top $left $blur $color $inset;
  }
}

AngularJS How to dynamically add HTML and bind to controller

For those, like me, who did not have the possibility to use angular directive and were "stuck" outside of the angular scope, here is something that might help you.

After hours searching on the web and on the angular doc, I have created a class that compiles HTML, place it inside a targets, and binds it to a scope ($rootScope if there is no $scope for that element)

/**
 * AngularHelper : Contains methods that help using angular without being in the scope of an angular controller or directive
 */
var AngularHelper = (function () {
    var AngularHelper = function () { };

    /**
     * ApplicationName : Default application name for the helper
     */
    var defaultApplicationName = "myApplicationName";

    /**
     * Compile : Compile html with the rootScope of an application
     *  and replace the content of a target element with the compiled html
     * @$targetDom : The dom in which the compiled html should be placed
     * @htmlToCompile : The html to compile using angular
     * @applicationName : (Optionnal) The name of the application (use the default one if empty)
     */
    AngularHelper.Compile = function ($targetDom, htmlToCompile, applicationName) {
        var $injector = angular.injector(["ng", applicationName || defaultApplicationName]);

        $injector.invoke(["$compile", "$rootScope", function ($compile, $rootScope) {
            //Get the scope of the target, use the rootScope if it does not exists
            var $scope = $targetDom.html(htmlToCompile).scope();
            $compile($targetDom)($scope || $rootScope);
            $rootScope.$digest();
        }]);
    }

    return AngularHelper;
})();

It covered all of my cases, but if you find something that I should add to it, feel free to comment or edit.

Hope it will help.

Code for best fit straight line of a scatter plot in python

You can use numpy's polyfit. I use the following (you can safely remove the bit about coefficient of determination and error bounds, I just think it looks nice):

#!/usr/bin/python3

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import csv

with open("example.csv", "r") as f:
    data = [row for row in csv.reader(f)]
    xd = [float(row[0]) for row in data]
    yd = [float(row[1]) for row in data]

# sort the data
reorder = sorted(range(len(xd)), key = lambda ii: xd[ii])
xd = [xd[ii] for ii in reorder]
yd = [yd[ii] for ii in reorder]

# make the scatter plot
plt.scatter(xd, yd, s=30, alpha=0.15, marker='o')

# determine best fit line
par = np.polyfit(xd, yd, 1, full=True)

slope=par[0][0]
intercept=par[0][1]
xl = [min(xd), max(xd)]
yl = [slope*xx + intercept  for xx in xl]

# coefficient of determination, plot text
variance = np.var(yd)
residuals = np.var([(slope*xx + intercept - yy)  for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)])
Rsqr = np.round(1-residuals/variance, decimals=2)
plt.text(.9*max(xd)+.1*min(xd),.9*max(yd)+.1*min(yd),'$R^2 = %0.2f$'% Rsqr, fontsize=30)

plt.xlabel("X Description")
plt.ylabel("Y Description")

# error bounds
yerr = [abs(slope*xx + intercept - yy)  for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]
par = np.polyfit(xd, yerr, 2, full=True)

yerrUpper = [(xx*slope+intercept)+(par[0][0]*xx**2 + par[0][1]*xx + par[0][2]) for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]
yerrLower = [(xx*slope+intercept)-(par[0][0]*xx**2 + par[0][1]*xx + par[0][2]) for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]

plt.plot(xl, yl, '-r')
plt.plot(xd, yerrLower, '--r')
plt.plot(xd, yerrUpper, '--r')
plt.show()

How to append binary data to a buffer in node.js

This is to help anyone who comes here looking for a solution that wants a pure approach. I would recommend understanding this problem because it can happen in lots of different places not just with a JS Buffer object. By understanding why the problem exists and how to solve it you will improve your ability to solve other problems in the future since this one is so fundamental.

For those of us that have to deal with these problems in other languages it is quite natural to devise a solution, but there are people who may not realize how to abstract away the complexities and implement a generally efficient dynamic buffer. The code below may have potential to be optimized further.

I have left the read method unimplemented to keep the example small in size.

The realloc function in C (or any language dealing with intrinsic allocations) does not guarantee that the allocation will be expanded in size with out moving the existing data - although sometimes it is possible. Therefore most applications when needing to store a unknown amount of data will use a method like below and not constantly reallocate, unless the reallocation is very infrequent. This is essentially how most file systems handle writing data to a file. The file system simply allocates another node and keeps all the nodes linked together, and when you read from it the complexity is abstracted away so that the file/buffer appears to be a single contiguous buffer.

For those of you who wish to understand the difficulty in just simply providing a high performance dynamic buffer you only need to view the code below, and also do some research on memory heap algorithms and how the memory heap works for programs.

Most languages will provide a fixed size buffer for performance reasons, and then provide another version that is dynamic in size. Some language systems opt for a third-party system where they keep the core functionality minimal (core distribution) and encourage developers to create libraries to solve additional or higher level problems. This is why you may question why a language does not provide some functionality. This small core functionality allows costs to be reduced in maintaining and enhancing the language, however you end up having to write your own implementations or depending on a third-party.

var Buffer_A1 = function (chunk_size) {
    this.buffer_list = [];
    this.total_size = 0;
    this.cur_size = 0;
    this.cur_buffer = [];
    this.chunk_size = chunk_size || 4096;

    this.buffer_list.push(new Buffer(this.chunk_size));
};

Buffer_A1.prototype.writeByteArrayLimited = function (data, offset, length) {
    var can_write = length > (this.chunk_size - this.cur_size) ? (this.chunk_size - this.cur_size) : length;

    var lastbuf = this.buffer_list.length - 1;

    for (var x = 0; x < can_write; ++x) {
        this.buffer_list[lastbuf][this.cur_size + x] = data[x + offset];
    }

    this.cur_size += can_write;
    this.total_size += can_write;

    if (this.cur_size == this.chunk_size) {
        this.buffer_list.push(new Buffer(this.chunk_size));
        this.cur_size = 0;
    }

    return can_write;
};

/*
    The `data` parameter can be anything that is array like. It just must
    support indexing and a length and produce an acceptable value to be
    used with Buffer.
*/
Buffer_A1.prototype.writeByteArray = function (data, offset, length) {
    offset = offset == undefined ? 0 : offset;
    length = length == undefined ? data.length : length;

    var rem = length;
    while (rem > 0) {
        rem -= this.writeByteArrayLimited(data, length - rem, rem);
    }
};

Buffer_A1.prototype.readByteArray = function (data, offset, length) {
    /*
        If you really wanted to implement some read functionality
        then you would have to deal with unaligned reads which could
        span two buffers.
    */
};

Buffer_A1.prototype.getSingleBuffer = function () {
    var obuf = new Buffer(this.total_size);
    var cur_off = 0;
    var x;

    for (x = 0; x < this.buffer_list.length - 1; ++x) {
        this.buffer_list[x].copy(obuf, cur_off);
        cur_off += this.buffer_list[x].length;
    }

    this.buffer_list[x].copy(obuf, cur_off, 0, this.cur_size);

    return obuf;
};

How to extract text from a PDF file?

If you try it in Anaconda on Windows, PyPDF2 might not handle some of the PDFs with non-standard structure or unicode characters. I recommend using the following code if you need to open and read a lot of pdf files - the text of all pdf files in folder with relative path .//pdfs// will be stored in list pdf_text_list.

from tika import parser
import glob

def read_pdf(filename):
    text = parser.from_file(filename)
    return(text)


all_files = glob.glob(".\\pdfs\\*.pdf")
pdf_text_list=[]
for i,file in enumerate(all_files):
    text=read_pdf(file)
    pdf_text_list.append(text['content'])

print(pdf_text_list)

How to open URL in Microsoft Edge from the command line?

I too was wondering why you can't just start microsoftedge.exe, like you do "old-style" applications in windows 10. Searching the web, I found the answer -- it has to do with how Microsoft implemented "Universal Apps".

Below is a brief summary taken from that answer, but I recommend reading the entire entry, because it gives a great explanation of how these "Universal Apps" are being dealt with. Microsoft Edge is not the only app like this we'll be dealing with.

Here's the link: http://www.itworld.com/article/2943955/windows/how-to-script-microsofts-edge-browser.html

Here's the summary from that page:

"Microsoft Edge is a "Modern" Universal app. This means it can't be opened from the command line in the traditional Windows manner:  Executable name followed by command switches/parameter values. But where there's a will, there's a way. In this case, the "way" is known as protocol activation."

How to handle change text of span

Span does not have 'change' event by default. But you can add this event manually.

Listen to the change event of span.

$("#span1").on('change',function(){
     //Do calculation and change value of other span2,span3 here
     $("#span2").text('calculated value');
});

And wherever you change the text in span1. Trigger the change event manually.

$("#span1").text('test').trigger('change'); 

Change header text of columns in a GridView

protected void grdDis_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            #region Dynamically Show gridView header From data base
            getAllheaderName();/*To get all Allowences master headerName*/

            TextBox txt_Days = (TextBox)grdDis.HeaderRow.FindControl("txtDays");
            txt_Days.Text = hidMonthsDays.Value;
            #endregion
        }
    }

How to watch and reload ts-node when TypeScript files change

you could use ts-node-dev

It restarts target node process when any of required files changes (as standard node-dev) but shares Typescript compilation process between restarts.

Install

yarn add ts-node-dev --dev

and your package.json could be like this

"scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
  "tsc": "tsc",
  "dev": "ts-node-dev --respawn --transpileOnly ./src/index.ts",
  "prod": "tsc && node ./build/index.js"
}

How to represent empty char in Java Character class

If you want to replace a character in a String without leaving any empty space then you can achieve this by using StringBuilder. String is immutable object in java,you can not modify it.

String str = "Hello";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str);
sb.deleteCharAt(1); // to replace e character

Replacing a 32-bit loop counter with 64-bit introduces crazy performance deviations with _mm_popcnt_u64 on Intel CPUs

This is not an answer but a feedback with few compilers of 2021. On Intel CoffeeLake 9900k.

With Microsoft compiler (VS2019), toolset v142:

unsigned        209695540000    1.8322 sec      28.6152 GB/s
uint64_t        209695540000    3.08764 sec     16.9802 GB/s

With Intel compiler 2021:

unsigned        209695540000    1.70845 sec     30.688 GB/s
uint64_t        209695540000    1.57956 sec     33.1921 GB/s

According to Mysticial's answer, Intel compiler is aware of False Data Dependency, but not Microsoft compiler.

For intel compiler, I used /QxHost (optimize of CPU's architecture which is that of the host) /Oi (enable intrinsic functions) and #include <nmmintrin.h> instead of #include <immintrin.h>.

Full compile command: /GS /W3 /QxHost /Gy /Zi /O2 /D "NDEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /Qipo /Zc:forScope /Oi /MD /Fa"x64\Release\" /EHsc /nologo /Fo"x64\Release\" //fprofile-instr-use "x64\Release\" /Fp"x64\Release\Benchmark.pch" .

Twitter Bootstrap 3: How to center a block

center-block is bad idea as it covers a portion on your screen and you cannot click on your fields or buttons. col-md-offset-? is better option.

Use col-md-offset-3 is better option if class is col-sm-6. Just change the number to center your block.

splitting a string based on tab in the file

An other regex-based solution:

>>> strs = "foo\tbar\t\tspam"

>>> r = re.compile(r'([^\t]*)\t*')
>>> r.findall(strs)[:-1]
['foo', 'bar', 'spam']

Comparing two java.util.Dates to see if they are in the same day

Joda-Time

As for adding a dependency, I'm afraid the java.util.Date & .Calendar really are so bad that the first thing I do to any new project is add the Joda-Time library. In Java 8 you can use the new java.time package, inspired by Joda-Time.

The core of Joda-Time is the DateTime class. Unlike java.util.Date, it understands its assigned time zone (DateTimeZone). When converting from j.u.Date, assign a zone.

DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID( "America/Montreal" );
DateTime dateTimeQuébec = new DateTime( date , zone );

LocalDate

One way to verify if two date-times land on the same date is to convert to LocalDate objects.

That conversion depends on the assigned time zone. To compare LocalDate objects, they must have been converted with the same zone.

Here is a little utility method.

static public Boolean sameDate ( DateTime dt1 , DateTime dt2 )
{
    LocalDate ld1 = new LocalDate( dt1 );
    // LocalDate determination depends on the time zone.
    // So be sure the date-time values are adjusted to the same time zone.
    LocalDate ld2 = new LocalDate( dt2.withZone( dt1.getZone() ) );
    Boolean match = ld1.equals( ld2 );
    return match;
}

Better would be another argument, specifying the time zone rather than assuming the first DateTime object’s time zone should be used.

static public Boolean sameDate ( DateTimeZone zone , DateTime dt1 , DateTime dt2 )
{
    LocalDate ld1 = new LocalDate( dt1.withZone( zone ) );
    // LocalDate determination depends on the time zone.
    // So be sure the date-time values are adjusted to the same time zone.
    LocalDate ld2 = new LocalDate( dt2.withZone( zone ) );
    return ld1.equals( ld2 );
}

String Representation

Another approach is to create a string representation of the date portion of each date-time, then compare strings.

Again, the assigned time zone is crucial.

DateTimeFormatter formatter = ISODateTimeFormat.date();  // Static method.
String s1 = formatter.print( dateTime1 );
String s2 = formatter.print( dateTime2.withZone( dt1.getZone() )  );
Boolean match = s1.equals( s2 );
return match;

Span of Time

The generalized solution is to define a span of time, then ask if the span contains your target. This example code is in Joda-Time 2.4. Note that the "midnight"-related classes are deprecated. Instead use the withTimeAtStartOfDay method. Joda-Time offers three classes to represent a span of time in various ways: Interval, Period, and Duration.

Using the "Half-Open" approach where the beginning of the span is inclusive and the ending exclusive.

The time zone of the target can be different than the time zone of the interval.

DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZone.forID( "Europe/Paris" );
DateTime target = new DateTime( 2012, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, timeZone );
DateTime start = DateTime.now( timeZone ).withTimeAtStartOfDay();
DateTime stop = start.plusDays( 1 ).withTimeAtStartOfDay();
Interval interval = new Interval( start, stop );
boolean containsTarget = interval.contains( target );

java.time

Java 8 and later comes with the java.time framework. Inspired by Joda-Time, defined by JSR 310, and extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project. See Tutorial.

The makers of Joda-Time have instructed us all to move to java.time as soon as is convenient. In the meantime Joda-Time continues as an actively maintained project. But expect future work to occur only in java.time and ThreeTen-Extra rather than Joda-Time.

To summarize java.time in a nutshell… An Instant is a moment on the timeline in UTC. Apply a time zone (ZoneId) to get a ZonedDateTime object. To move off the timeline, to get the vague indefinite idea of a date-time, use the "local" classes: LocalDateTime, LocalDate, LocalTime.

The logic discussed in the Joda-Time section of this Answer applies to java.time.

The old java.util.Date class has a new toInstant method for conversion to java.time.

Instant instant = yourJavaUtilDate.toInstant(); // Convert into java.time type.

Determining a date requires a time zone.

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );

We apply that time zone object to the Instant to obtain a ZonedDateTime. From that we extract a date-only value (a LocalDate) as our goal is to compare dates (not hours, minutes, etc.).

ZonedDateTime zdt1 = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant( instant , zoneId );
LocalDate localDate1 = LocalDate.from( zdt1 );

Do the same to the second java.util.Date object we need for comparison. I’ll just use the current moment instead.

ZonedDateTime zdt2 = ZonedDateTime.now( zoneId );
LocalDate localDate2 = LocalDate.from( zdt2 );

Use the special isEqual method to test for the same date value.

Boolean sameDate = localDate1.isEqual( localDate2 );

Input Type image submit form value?

Using the type="image" is problematic because the ability to pass a value is disabled. Although it's not as customizable and thus as pretty, you can still use your images ao long as they are part of a type="button".

<button type="submit" name="someName" value="someValue"><img src="someImage.png" alt="SomeAlternateText"></button>

OracleCommand SQL Parameters Binding

Oracle has a different syntax for parameters than Sql-Server. So use : instead of @

using(var con=new OracleConnection(connectionString))
{
   con.open();
   var sql = "insert into users values (:id,:name,:surname,:username)";

   using(var cmd = new OracleCommand(sql,con)
   {
      OracleParameter[] parameters = new OracleParameter[] {
             new OracleParameter("id",1234),
             new OracleParameter("name","John"),
             new OracleParameter("surname","Doe"),
             new OracleParameter("username","johnd")
      };

      cmd.Parameters.AddRange(parameters);
      cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
   }
}

When using named parameters in an OracleCommand you must precede the parameter name with a colon (:).

Getting unique values in Excel by using formulas only

noticed its a very old question but people seem still having trouble using a formula for extracting unique items. here's a solution that returns the values them selfs.

Lets say you have "red", "blue", "red", "green", "blue", "black" in column A2:A7

then put this in B2 as an array formula and copy down =IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$7;SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A$2:A$7;A$2:A$7;0);ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTA(A$2:A$7))));ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTA(A$2:A$7)));"");ROW(A1)));"")

then it should look something like this; enter image description here

phpMyAdmin access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

This is the Different Solution, Check if your Services are running correctly, if WAMP icon showing orange color, and 2 out of 3 services are running it's showing, then this solution will work . Root cause:

If in your system mysql was there, later you installed WAMP then again one MYSQL will install as WAMP package, default port for MYSQL is 3306 , So in both mysql the port will be 3306, which is a port conflict, So just change the port it will work fine. Steps to change the Port.

  1. Right click the WAMP icon.
  2. Chose Tool
  3. Change the port in Port used by MySql Section

IOException: Too many open files

The problem comes from your Java application (or a library you are using).

First, you should read the entire outputs (Google for StreamGobbler), and pronto!

Javadoc says:

The parent process uses these streams to feed input to and get output from the subprocess. Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard input and output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output stream of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock.

Secondly, waitFor() your process to terminate. You then should close the input, output and error streams.

Finally destroy() your Process.

How do I concatenate strings?

To concatenate multiple strings into a single string, separated by another character, there are a couple of ways.

The nicest I have seen is using the join method on an array:

fn main() {
    let a = "Hello";
    let b = "world";
    let result = [a, b].join("\n");

    print!("{}", result);
}

Depending on your use case you might also prefer more control:

fn main() {
    let a = "Hello";
    let b = "world";
    let result = format!("{}\n{}", a, b);

    print!("{}", result);
}

There are some more manual ways I have seen, some avoiding one or two allocations here and there. For readability purposes I find the above two to be sufficient.

Check file uploaded is in csv format

the mime type might not be text/csv some systems can read/save them different. (for example sometimes IE sends .csv files as application/vnd.ms-excel) so you best bet would be to build an array of allowed values and test against that, then find all possible values to test against.

$mimes = array('application/vnd.ms-excel','text/plain','text/csv','text/tsv');
if(in_array($_FILES['file']['type'],$mimes)){
  // do something
} else {
  die("Sorry, mime type not allowed");
}

if you wished you could add a further check if mime is returned as text/plain you could run a preg_match to make sure it has enough commas in it to be a csv.

How do I pass a variable to the layout using Laravel' Blade templating?

In the Blade Template : define a variable like this

@extends('app',['title' => 'Your Title Goes Here'])
@section('content')

And in the app.blade.php or any other of your choice ( I'm just following default Laravel 5 setup )

<title>{{ $title or 'Default title Information if not set explicitly' }}</title>

This is my first answer here. Hope it works.Good luck!

Android; Check if file exists without creating a new one

else
// Do something else.

Is there a way to run Bash scripts on Windows?

If your looking for something a little more native, you can use getGnuWin32 to install all of the unix command line tools that have been ported. That plus winBash gives you most of a working unix environment. Add console2 for a better terminal emulator and you almost can't tell your on windows!

Cygwin is a better toolkit overall, but I have found myself running into suprise problems because of the divide between it and windows. None of these solutions are as good as a native linux system though.

You may want to look into using virtualbox to create a linux VM with your distro of choice. Set it up to share a folder with the host os, and you can use a true linux development environment, and share with windows. Just watch out for those EOL markers, they get ya every time.

C++ JSON Serialization

Try json_dto. It is header-only and easy to use.

Simple example:

struct message_t
{
  std::string m_from;
  std::string m_text;

  // Entry point for json_dto.
  template < typename JSON_IO >
  void
  json_io( JSON_IO & io )
  {
    io
      & json_dto::mandatory( "from", m_from )
      & json_dto::mandatory( "text", m_text );
  }
};

This will be convertable to and from JSON:

{ "from" : "json_dto", "text" : "Hello world!" }

How can I disable mod_security in .htaccess file?

On some servers and web hosts, it's possible to disable ModSecurity via .htaccess, but be aware that you can only switch it on or off, you can't disable individual rules.

But a good practice that still keeps your site secure is to disable it only on specific URLs, rather than your entire site. You can specify which URLs to match via the regex in the <If> statement below...

### DISABLE mod_security firewall
### Some rules are currently too strict and are blocking legitimate users
### We only disable it for URLs that contain the regex below
### The regex below should be placed between "m#" and "#" 
### (this syntax is required when the string contains forward slashes)
<IfModule mod_security.c>
  <If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#/admin/#">
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
  </If>
</IfModule>

How do I get user IP address in django?

Alexander's answer is great, but lacks the handling of proxies that sometimes return multiple IP's in the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header.

The real IP is usually at the end of the list, as explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For

The solution is a simple modification of Alexander's code:

def get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
    if x_forwarded_for:
        ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[-1].strip()
    else:
        ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    return ip

Adding libxml2 in Xcode 4.3 / 5 / 6

Adding libxml2 is a big, fat, finicky pain in the ass. If you're going to do it, do it before you get too far in building your project.


You need to add it in two ways:

1. Target settings

Click on your target (not your project) and select Build Phases.

Click on the reveal triangle titled Link Binary With Libraries. Click on the + to add a library.

Scroll to the bottom of the list and select libxml2.dylib. That adds the libxml2 library to your project.

2. Project settings

Now you have to tell your project where to look for it three more times.

Select the Build Settings tab.

Scroll down to the Linking section. Under your projects columns double click on the Other Linker Flags row. Click the + and add -lxml2 to the list.

Still more.

In the same tab, scroll down to the Search Paths section.

Under your projects column in the Framework Search Paths row add /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib.

In the Header Search Paths and the User Header Search Paths row add $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2.

In those last two cases make sure that path is entered in Debug and Release.

3. Clean

Under the Product Menu select Clean.

Then, if I were you (and lets face it, I probably am) I'd quit Xcode and walk away. When you come back and launch you should be good to go.

How to Display blob (.pdf) in an AngularJS app

michael's suggestions works like a charm for me :) If you replace $http.post with $http.get, remember that the .get method accepts 2 parameters instead of 3... this is where is wasted my time... ;)

controller:

$http.get('/getdoc/' + $stateParams.id,     
{responseType:'arraybuffer'})
  .success(function (response) {
     var file = new Blob([(response)], {type: 'application/pdf'});
     var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
     $scope.content = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(fileURL);
});

view:

<object ng-show="content" data="{{content}}" type="application/pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 400px;"></object>

Is there a way to define a min and max value for EditText in Android?

I stumbled upon this problem when I was making a pet project. I've read some of the answers here and I've probably adopted on or two of them in my code.

BAD NEWS: I managed to do this by using a very dirty way (you'll see why). There are still some bugs that I haven't bothered to address (I was writing this at like 2 am), like if the min value is 10, you won't be able to input a number to begin with.

GOOD NEWS: I've managed to get rid of the leading zeros bug mentioned by @nnyerges using solely the InputFilter down to only one 0, that is if the min value is 0. However, the limit of my implementation of the InputFilter comes when user deletes the first number(s) that's followed by zero(s), e.g. if at first user inputs 1000 but then deletes 1, it will become 000. That's ugly, and that's where my dirty ugly use of TextChangedListener / TextWatcher comes in. (I know OP already said that he can do it using TextWatcher, but whatever.)
Another limitation (or maybe MY limitation?) using the InputFilter is when the inputType is numberDecimal, which means user can input a decimal separator. Example case: range is 0 - 100, user inputs 99.99, user then deletes the separator, we'd have 9999. We don't want that, do we?
I've also made it to accommodate negative value.

Some features in my code, whether you like it or not, include trimming insignificant 0s, e.g. if user deletes 1 from 10032, as long as it's within the defined range, it will trim the leading 0s, so the final result will be 32. Second, when user tries to delete the negative (-) notation or the decimal separator (.), it will check whether the resulting number after deletion is still in range. If not, then it will revert back to last value. In other words, user isn't allowed to do that kind of removal. But, if you prefer to set the new values to either min or max values when that happens, you can do it, too.

NOTE: I'm too lazy to even bother with localization, so people who use comma as decimal separator will have to manually change it themselves.
SECOND NOTE: The code is very messy and probably have some or a lot of redundant checks, so be aware. Also, if you have suggestion, feel free to comment, as I want to improve it, too. I may need to use it in the future. Who knows?

Anyway, here it goes.

Difference between numeric, float and decimal in SQL Server

They Differ in Data Type Precedence

Decimal and Numeric are the same functionally but there is still data type precedence, which can be crucial in some cases.

SELECT SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(CAST(1 AS NUMERIC) + CAST(1 AS DECIMAL),'basetype')

The resulting data type is numeric because it takes data type precedence.

Aligning a button to the center

For me it worked using flexbox, which is in my opinion the cleanest solution.

Add a css class around the parent div / element with :

.parent {
display: flex;
}

and for the button use:

.button {
justify-content: center;
}

You should use a parent div, otherwise the button doesn't 'know' what the middle of the page / element is.

If this is not working, try :

#wrapper {
    display:flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

How do I get the path of the assembly the code is in?

I suspect that the real issue here is that your test runner is copying your assembly to a different location. There's no way at runtime to tell where the assembly was copied from, but you can probably flip a switch to tell the test runner to run the assembly from where it is and not to copy it to a shadow directory.

Such a switch is likely to be different for each test runner, of course.

Have you considered embedding your XML data as resources inside your test assembly?

Javascript date regex DD/MM/YYYY

If you are in Javascript already, couldn't you just use Date.Parse() to validate a date instead of using regEx.

RegEx for date is actually unwieldy and hard to get right especially with leap years and all.

Javascript querySelector vs. getElementById

The functions getElementById and getElementsByClassName are very specific, while querySelector and querySelectorAll are more elaborate. My guess is that they will actually have a worse performance.

Also, you need to check for the support of each function in the browsers you are targetting. The newer it is, the higher probability of lack of support or the function being "buggy".

How to ping ubuntu guest on VirtualBox

Using NAT (the default) this is not possible. Bridged Networking should allow it. If bridged does not work for you (this may be the case when your network adminstration does not allow multiple IP addresses on one physical interface), you could try 'Host-only networking' instead.

For configuration of Host-only here is a quote from the vbox manual(which is pretty good). http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html:

For host-only networking, like with internal networking, you may find the DHCP server useful that is built into VirtualBox. This can be enabled to then manage the IP addresses in the host-only network since otherwise you would need to configure all IP addresses statically.

In the VirtualBox graphical user interface, you can configure all these items in the global settings via "File" -> "Settings" -> "Network", which lists all host-only networks which are presently in use. Click on the network name and then on the "Edit" button to the right, and you can modify the adapter and DHCP settings.

post checkbox value

in normal time, checkboxes return an on/off value.

you can verify it with this code:

<form action method="POST">
      <input type="checkbox" name="hello"/>
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['hello'])) echo('<p>'.$_POST['hello'].'</p>');
?>

this will return

<p>off</p>

or

<p>on</p>

Windows Bat file optional argument parsing

Dynamic variables creation

enter image description here

Pros

  • Works for >9 arguments
  • Keeps %1, %2, ... %* in tact
  • Works for both /arg and -arg style
  • No prior knowledge about arguments
  • Implementation is separate from main routine

Cons

  • Old arguments may leak into consecutive runs, therefore use setlocal for local scoping or write an accompanying :CLEAR-ARGS routine!
  • No alias support yet (like --force to -f)
  • No empty "" argument support

Usage

Here is an example how the following arguments relate to .bat variables:

>> testargs.bat /b 3 -c /d /e /f /g /h /i /j /k /bar 5 /foo "c:\"

echo %*        | /b 3 -c /d /e /f /g /h /i /j /k /bar 5 /foo "c:\"
echo %ARG_FOO% | c:\
echo %ARG_A%   |
echo %ARG_B%   | 3
echo %ARG_C%   | 1
echo %ARG_D%   | 1

Implementation

@echo off
setlocal

IN vs OR in the SQL WHERE Clause

I assume you want to know the performance difference between the following:

WHERE foo IN ('a', 'b', 'c')
WHERE foo = 'a' OR foo = 'b' OR foo = 'c'

According to the manual for MySQL if the values are constant IN sorts the list and then uses a binary search. I would imagine that OR evaluates them one by one in no particular order. So IN is faster in some circumstances.

The best way to know is to profile both on your database with your specific data to see which is faster.

I tried both on a MySQL with 1000000 rows. When the column is indexed there is no discernable difference in performance - both are nearly instant. When the column is not indexed I got these results:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t_inner WHERE val IN (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000);
1 row fetched in 0.0032 (1.2679 seconds)

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t_inner WHERE val = 1000 OR val = 2000 OR val = 3000 OR val = 4000 OR val = 5000 OR val = 6000 OR val = 7000 OR val = 8000 OR val = 9000;
1 row fetched in 0.0026 (1.7385 seconds)

So in this case the method using OR is about 30% slower. Adding more terms makes the difference larger. Results may vary on other databases and on other data.

Change color inside strings.xml

You don't. strings.xml is just here to define the raw text messages. You should (must) use styles.xml to define reusable visual styles to apply to your widgets.

Think of it as a good practice to separate the concerns. You can work on the visual styles independently from the text messages.

PHP DOMDocument loadHTML not encoding UTF-8 correctly

I am using php 7.3.8 on a manjaro and I was working with Persian content. This solved my problem:

$html = 'hi</b><p>????<div>?????9 ?';
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$doc->loadHTML(mb_convert_encoding($html, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8'));
print $doc->saveHTML($doc->documentElement) . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;

How to tune Tomcat 5.5 JVM Memory settings without using the configuration program

Create a setenv.(sh|bat) file in the tomcat/bin directory with the environment variables that you want modified.

The catalina script checks if the setenv script exists and runs it to set the environment variables. This way you can change the parameters to only one instance of tomcat and is easier to copy it to another instance.

Probably your configuration app has created the setenv script and thats why tomcat is ignoring the environment variables.

Setting default values to null fields when mapping with Jackson

Looks like the solution is to set the value of the properties inside the default constructor. So in this case the java class is:

class JavaObject {

    public JavaObject() {

        optionalMember = "Value";
    }

    @NotNull
    public String notNullMember;

    public String optionalMember;
}

After the mapping with Jackson, if the optionalMember is missing from the JSON its value in the Java class is "Value".

However, I am still interested to know if there is a solution with annotations and without the default constructor.

UTF-8 text is garbled when form is posted as multipart/form-data

I got stuck with this problem and found that it was the order of the call to

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

that was causing the problem. It has to be called before any all call to request.getParameter(), so I made a special filter to use at the top of my filter chain.

Find row in datatable with specific id

Try avoiding unnecessary loops and go for this if needed.

string SearchByColumn = "ColumnName=" + value;
DataRow[] hasRows = currentDataTable.Select(SearchByColumn);
if (hasRows.Length == 0)
{
    //your logic goes here
}
else
{
    //your logic goes here
}

If you want to search by specific ID then there should be a primary key in a table.

Open Redis port for remote connections

Did you set the bind option to allow remote access on the redis server?

Before (file /etc/redis/redis.conf)

bind 127.0.0.1

After

bind 0.0.0.0

and run sudo service redis-server restart to restart the server. If that's not the problem, you might want to check any firewalls that might block the access.

Important: If you don't use a firewall (iptables, ufw..) to control who connects to the port in use, ANYONE can connect to this Redis instance. Without using Redis' AUTH that means anyone can access/change/delete your data. Be safe!

Execute curl command within a Python script

If you are not tweaking the curl command too much you can also go and call the curl command directly

import shlex
cmd = '''curl -X POST -d  '{"nw_src": "10.0.0.1/32", "nw_dst": "10.0.0.2/32", "nw_proto": "ICMP", "actions": "ALLOW", "priority": "10"}' http://localhost:8080/firewall/rules/0000000000000001'''
args = shlex.split(cmd)
process = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=False, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()

How to pass the button value into my onclick event function?

You can do like this.

<input type="button" value="mybutton1" onclick="dosomething(this)">

function dosomething(element){
    alert("value is "+element.value); //you can print any value like id,class,value,innerHTML etc.
};

What does functools.wraps do?

In short, functools.wraps is just a regular function. Let's consider this official example. With the help of the source code, we can see more details about the implementation and the running steps as follows:

  1. wraps(f) returns an object, say O1. It is an object of the class Partial
  2. The next step is @O1... which is the decorator notation in python. It means

wrapper=O1.__call__(wrapper)

Checking the implementation of __call__, we see that after this step, (the left hand side )wrapper becomes the object resulted by self.func(*self.args, *args, **newkeywords) Checking the creation of O1 in __new__, we know self.func is the function update_wrapper. It uses the parameter *args, the right hand side wrapper, as its 1st parameter. Checking the last step of update_wrapper, one can see the right hand side wrapper is returned, with some of attributes modified as needed.

Set the maximum character length of a UITextField

we can set the range of textfield like this..

-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range  replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
     int setrange = 20;
     return !([textField.text length]>setrange && [string length] > range.length);
}

Wait until all jQuery Ajax requests are done?

If you need something simple; once and done callback

        //multiple ajax calls above
        var callback = function () {
            if ($.active !== 0) {
                setTimeout(callback, '500');
                return;
            }
            //whatever you need to do here
            //...
        };
        callback();

How to shift a column in Pandas DataFrame

Convert JsonNode into POJO

This should do the trick:

mapper.readValue(fileReader, MyClass.class);

I say should because I'm using that with a String, not a BufferedReader but it should still work.

Here's my code:

String inputString = // I grab my string here
MySessionClass sessionObject;
try {
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    sessionObject = objectMapper.readValue(inputString, MySessionClass.class);

Here's the official documentation for that call: http://jackson.codehaus.org/1.7.9/javadoc/org/codehaus/jackson/map/ObjectMapper.html#readValue(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class)

You can also define a custom deserializer when you instantiate the ObjectMapper: http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonHowToCustomDeserializers

Edit: I just remembered something else. If your object coming in has more properties than the POJO has and you just want to ignore the extras you'll want to set this:

    objectMapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);

Or you'll get an error that it can't find the property to set into.

Returning value from called function in a shell script

I think returning 0 for succ/1 for fail (glenn jackman) and olibre's clear and explanatory answer says it all; just to mention a kind of "combo" approach for cases where results are not binary and you'd prefer to set a variable rather than "echoing out" a result (for instance if your function is ALSO suppose to echo something, this approach will not work). What then? (below is Bourne Shell)

# Syntax _w (wrapReturn)
# arg1 : method to wrap
# arg2 : variable to set
_w(){
eval $1
read $2 <<EOF
$?
EOF
eval $2=\$$2
}

as in (yep, the example is somewhat silly, it's just an.. example)

getDay(){
  d=`date '+%d'`
  [ $d -gt 255 ] && echo "Oh no a return value is 0-255!" && BAIL=0 # this will of course never happen, it's just to clarify the nature of returns
  return $d
}

dayzToSalary(){
  daysLeft=0
  if [ $1 -lt 26 ]; then 
      daysLeft=`expr 25 - $1`
  else
     lastDayInMonth=`date -d "`date +%Y%m01` +1 month -1 day" +%d`
     rest=`expr $lastDayInMonth - 25`
     daysLeft=`expr 25 + $rest`
  fi
  echo "Mate, it's another $daysLeft days.."
}

# main
_w getDay DAY # call getDay, save the result in the DAY variable
dayzToSalary $DAY

How to use Google fonts in React.js?

In your CSS file, such as App.css in a create-react-app, add a fontface import. For example:

@fontface {
  font-family: 'Bungee Inline', cursive;
  src: url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bungee+Inline')
}

Then simply add the font to the DOM element within the same css file.

body {
  font-family: 'Bungee Inline', cursive;
}

datetime.parse and making it work with a specific format

DateTime.ParseExact(input,"yyyyMMdd HH:mm",null);

assuming you meant to say that minutes followed the hours, not seconds - your example is a little confusing.

The ParseExact documentation details other overloads, in case you want to have the parse automatically convert to Universal Time or something like that.

As @Joel Coehoorn mentions, there's also the option of using TryParseExact, which will return a Boolean value indicating success or failure of the operation - I'm still on .Net 1.1, so I often forget this one.

If you need to parse other formats, you can check out the Standard DateTime Format Strings.

Text inset for UITextField?

In a class derived from UITextField, override at least this two methods:

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;

It might be as simple as this if you have no additional content:

return CGRectInset(bounds , 10, 10);

UITextField provides several positioning methods you can override.

How do you run multiple programs in parallel from a bash script?

Your script should look like:

prog1 &
prog2 &
.
.
progn &
wait
progn+1 &
progn+2 &
.
.

Assuming your system can take n jobs at a time. use wait to run only n jobs at a time.

Open multiple Eclipse workspaces on the Mac

I found this solution a while back, can't remember where but it still seems to work well for me.

Create a copy of Eclipse.app for each workspace you want to work in (for this example ProjectB.app), then open ProjectB.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini and add these two lines at the beginning of the file:

-data
/Users/eric/Workspaces/projectb

... substituting where your workspace is located. When you launch ProjectB.app it will automatically start with that workspace instead of prompting for a location, and you should be able to run it at the same time as other Eclipse instances with no problem.

Divide a number by 3 without using *, /, +, -, % operators

This will work:

smegma$ curl http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=14+divided+by+3 2>/dev/null | gawk 'match($0, /link to /input/\?i=([0-9.+-]+)/, ary) { print substr( $0, ary[1, "start"], ary[1, "length"] )}' 4.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

Just substitute '14' and '3' with your numbers.

"Could not run curl-config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" when installing pycurl

Be advised that if you're using nodejs there's (at the time of writing) a dependency on libssl 1.0.* - so installing an alternative SSL library will break your nodejs installation.

An alternative solution to installing a different SSL library is that posted in this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59927568/13564342 to instead install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Add line break within tooltips

The javascript version

Since &#013; (html) is 0D (hex), this can be represented as '\u000d'

str = str.replace(/\n/g, '\u000d');

In addition,

Sharing with you guys an AngularJS filter that replaces \n with that character thanks to the references in the other answers

app.filter('titleLineBreaker', function () {
    return function (str) {
        if (!str) {
            return str;
        }

        return str.replace(/\n/g, '\u000d');
    };
});

usage

<div title="{{ message | titleLineBreaker }}"> </div>

How do I activate C++ 11 in CMake?

For CMake 3.8 and newer you can use

target_compile_features(target PUBLIC cxx_std_11)

What's the right way to pass form element state to sibling/parent elements?

  1. The right thing to do is to have the state in the parent component, to avoid ref and what not
  2. An issue is to avoid constantly updating all children when typing into a field
  3. Therefore, each child should be a Component (as in not a PureComponent) and implement shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState)
  4. This way, when typing into a form field, only that field updates

The code below uses @bound annotations from ES.Next babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy of BabelJS 6 and class-properties (the annotation sets this value on member functions similar to bind):
