Bootstrap 4 responsive tables won't take up 100% width

For some reason the responsive table in particular doesn't behave as it should. You can patch it by getting rid of display:block;

.table-responsive {
    display: table;
}

I may file a bug report.

Edit:

It is an existing bug.

Parse json string to find and element (key / value)

You want to convert it to an object first and then access normally making sure to cast it.

JObject obj = JObject.Parse(json);
string name = (string) obj["Name"];

ImportError: No module named dateutil.parser

On Ubuntu you may need to install the package manager pip first:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

Then install the python-dateutil package with:

sudo pip install python-dateutil

Unable to send email using Gmail SMTP server through PHPMailer, getting error: SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on port 587. How to fix?

Also worth noting that if you have two factor authentication enabled, you'll need to setup an application specific password to use in place of your email account's password.

You can generate an application specific password by following these instructions: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

Then set $mail->Password to your application specific password.

Change the class from factor to numeric of many columns in a data frame

I had problems converting all columns to numeric with an apply() call:

apply(data, 2, as.numeric)

The problem turns out to be because some of the strings had a comma in them -- e.g. "1,024.63" instead of "1024.63" -- and R does not like this way of formatting numbers. So I removed them and then ran as.numeric():

data = as.data.frame(apply(data, 2, function(x) {
  y = str_replace_all(x, ",", "") #remove commas
  return(as.numeric(y)) #then convert
}))

Note that this requires the stringr package to be loaded.

Generating a drop down list of timezones with PHP

You can create very easy a dropdown from this array (It was a time-consuming task to put this together and test it). We already use this list in some of our apps.

It is very important to store timezone identifiers in your database and not just the timezone offset like "GMT+2", because of Daylight Saving Times.

UPDATE

I updated/corrected the timezones list (also checkout: https://github.com/paptamas/timezones):

JavaFX: How to get stage from controller during initialization?

Assign fx:id or declare variable to/of any node: anchorpane, button, etc. Then add event handler to it and within that event handler insert the given code below:

Stage stage = (Stage)((Node)((EventObject) eventVariable).getSource()).getScene().getWindow();

Hope, this works for you!!

Load dimension value from res/values/dimension.xml from source code

In my dimens.xml I have

<dimen name="test">48dp</dimen>

In code If I do

int valueInPixels = (int) getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.test)

this will return 72 which as docs state is multiplied by density of current phone (48dp x 1.5 in my case)

exactly as docs state :

Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID. Unit conversions are based on the current DisplayMetrics associated with the resources.

so if you want exact dp value just as in xml just divide it with DisplayMetrics density

int dp = (int) (getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.test) / getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density)

dp will be 48 now

If Else in LINQ

This might work...

        Owner = (p.price > 0 ?
            from q in db.Users select q.Name :
            from r in db.ExternalUsers select r.Name)
    }

Display the binary representation of a number in C?

You have to write your own transformation. Only decimal, hex and octal numbers are supported with format specifiers.

How to implement a simple scenario the OO way

You might implement your class model by composition, having the book object have a map of chapter objects contained within it (map chapter number to chapter object). Your search function could be given a list of books into which to search by asking each book to search its chapters. The book object would then iterate over each chapter, invoking the chapter.search() function to look for the desired key and return some kind of index into the chapter. The book's search() would then return some data type which could combine a reference to the book and some way to reference the data that it found for the search. The reference to the book could be used to get the name of the book object that is associated with the collection of chapter search hits.

How to filter for multiple criteria in Excel?

Maybe not as elegant but another possibility would be to write a formula to do the check and fill it in an adjacent column. You could then filter on that column.

The following looks in cell b14 and would return true for all the file types you mention. This assumes that the file extension is by itself in the column. If it's not it would be a little more complicated but you could still do it this way.

=OR(B14=".pdf",B14=".doc",B14=".docx",B14=".xls",B14=".xlsx",B14=".rtf",B14=".txt",B14=".csv",B14=".pps")

Like I said, not as elegant as the advanced filters but options are always good.

JavaScript + Unicode regexes

Situation for ES 6

The upcoming ECMAScript language specification, edition 6, includes Unicode-aware regular expressions. Support must be enabled with the u modifier on the regex. See Unicode-aware regular expressions in ES6.

Until ES 6 is finished and widely adopted among browser vendors you're still on your own, though. Update: There is now a transpiler named regexpu that translates ES6 Unicode regular expressions into equivalent ES5. It can be used as part of your build process. Try it out online.

Situation for ES 5 and below

Even though JavaScript operates on Unicode strings, it does not implement Unicode-aware character classes and has no concept of POSIX character classes or Unicode blocks/sub-ranges.

Calling a stored procedure in Oracle with IN and OUT parameters

If you set the server output in ON mode before the entire code, it works, otherwise put_line() will not work. Try it!

The code is,

set serveroutput on;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROC1(invoicenr IN NUMBER, amnt OUT NUMBER)
AS BEGIN
SELECT AMOUNT INTO amnt FROM INVOICE WHERE INVOICE_NR = invoicenr;
END;

And then call the function as it is:

DECLARE
amount NUMBER;
BEGIN
PROC1(1000001, amount);
dbms_output.put_line(amount);
END;

Add Custom Headers using HttpWebRequest

You should do ex.StackTrace instead of ex.ToString()

Check existence of directory and create if doesn't exist

In terms of general architecture I would recommend the following structure with regard to directory creation. This will cover most potential issues and any other issues with directory creation will be detected by the dir.create call.

mainDir <- "~"
subDir <- "outputDirectory"

if (file.exists(paste(mainDir, subDir, "/", sep = "/", collapse = "/"))) {
    cat("subDir exists in mainDir and is a directory")
} else if (file.exists(paste(mainDir, subDir, sep = "/", collapse = "/"))) {
    cat("subDir exists in mainDir but is a file")
    # you will probably want to handle this separately
} else {
    cat("subDir does not exist in mainDir - creating")
    dir.create(file.path(mainDir, subDir))
}

if (file.exists(paste(mainDir, subDir, "/", sep = "/", collapse = "/"))) {
    # By this point, the directory either existed or has been successfully created
    setwd(file.path(mainDir, subDir))
} else {
    cat("subDir does not exist")
    # Handle this error as appropriate
}

Also be aware that if ~/foo doesn't exist then a call to dir.create('~/foo/bar') will fail unless you specify recursive = TRUE.

WSDL vs REST Pros and Cons

for enterprise systems in which your system is confined within your corporations, its easier and proper to use soap because you are almost in control of clients. it's easier since there a variety of tools which creates classes (proxies) and looks like you are doing your regular OOP which matches your java or .net environment (in which most corporates use).

I would use REST for internet facing applications for exposing interfaces (like twitter api) since clients can be using javascripts or html or others in which typing is not strict. REST being more liberal makes more sense.

Also for internet facing clients (world wide web), its easier to parse json or xml coming out of a rest interface rather than a purely xml coming from a soap interface. it's hard to use proxies on javascript and javascript does not naturally support objects. If you are using REST with javascript, you would just usually parse the json string and you're off. internet facing interfaces are usually very simple (so most of the time its simple parsing) and does not usually demand consistency that is why REST is adequate enough.

For enterprise applications I don't think REST is adequate because transactions, security, strict typing, schemas play a very important in enterprise applications development that is why SOAP is more suited for them.

My conclusion is that SOAP is for Enterprise systems, REST is for the Internet or WWW. You can use it interchangeably but you may find yourself having a difficult time eventually not using the correct tool for the job.

sorry for my bad english.

How do I fix "for loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode" GCC error?

I had the same problem and it works you just have to declare the i outside of the loop:

int i;

for(i = low; i <= high; ++i)

{
        res = runalg(i);
        if (res > highestres)
        {
                highestres = res;
        }

What is difference between sjlj vs dwarf vs seh?

There's a short overview at MinGW-w64 Wiki:

Why doesn't mingw-w64 gcc support Dwarf-2 Exception Handling?

The Dwarf-2 EH implementation for Windows is not designed at all to work under 64-bit Windows applications. In win32 mode, the exception unwind handler cannot propagate through non-dw2 aware code, this means that any exception going through any non-dw2 aware "foreign frames" code will fail, including Windows system DLLs and DLLs built with Visual Studio. Dwarf-2 unwinding code in gcc inspects the x86 unwinding assembly and is unable to proceed without other dwarf-2 unwind information.

The SetJump LongJump method of exception handling works for most cases on both win32 and win64, except for general protection faults. Structured exception handling support in gcc is being developed to overcome the weaknesses of dw2 and sjlj. On win64, the unwind-information are placed in xdata-section and there is the .pdata (function descriptor table) instead of the stack. For win32, the chain of handlers are on stack and need to be saved/restored by real executed code.

GCC GNU about Exception Handling:

GCC supports two methods for exception handling (EH):

  • DWARF-2 (DW2) EH, which requires the use of DWARF-2 (or DWARF-3) debugging information. DW-2 EH can cause executables to be slightly bloated because large call stack unwinding tables have to be included in th executables.
  • A method based on setjmp/longjmp (SJLJ). SJLJ-based EH is much slower than DW2 EH (penalising even normal execution when no exceptions are thrown), but can work across code that has not been compiled with GCC or that does not have call-stack unwinding information.

[...]

Structured Exception Handling (SEH)

Windows uses its own exception handling mechanism known as Structured Exception Handling (SEH). [...] Unfortunately, GCC does not support SEH yet. [...]

How can I compare strings in C using a `switch` statement?

If you have many cases and do not want to write a ton of strcmp() calls, you could do something like:

switch(my_hash_function(the_string)) {
    case HASH_B1: ...
    /* ...etc... */
}

You just have to make sure your hash function has no collisions inside the set of possible values for the string.

What jar should I include to use javax.persistence package in a hibernate based application?

In general, i agree with above answers that recommend to add maven dependency, but i prefer following solution.

Add a dependency with API classes for full JavaEE profile:

<properties>
    <javaee-api.version>7.0</javaee-api.version>
    <hibernate-entitymanager.version>5.1.3.Final</hibernate-entitymanager.version>
</properties>

<depencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
        <version>${javaee-api.version}</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Also add dependency with particular JPA provider like antonycc suggested:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>${hibernate-entitymanager.version}</version>
</dependency>

Note <scope>provided</scope> in API dependency section: this means that corresponding jar will not be exported into artifact's lib/, but will be provided by application server. Make sure your application server implements specified version of JavaEE API.

How to send json data in POST request using C#

You can use either HttpClient or RestSharp. Since I do not know what your code is, here is an example using HttpClient:

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    // This would be the like http://www.uber.com
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri("Base Address/URL Address");

    // serialize your json using newtonsoft json serializer then add it to the StringContent
    var content = new StringContent(YourJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json") 

    // method address would be like api/callUber:SomePort for example
    var result = await client.PostAsync("Method Address", content);
    string resultContent = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();   
}

How to convert an Array to a Set in Java

In Java 10:

String[] strs = {"A", "B"};
Set<String> set = Set.copyOf(Arrays.asList(strs));

Set.copyOf returns an unmodifiable Set containing the elements of the given Collection.

 The given Collection must not be null, and it must not contain any null elements.

Java to Jackson JSON serialization: Money fields

I had the same issue and i had it formatted into JSON as a String instead. Might be a bit of a hack but it's easy to implement.

private BigDecimal myValue = new BigDecimal("25.50");
...
public String getMyValue() {
    return myValue.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP).toString();
}

Is there a JavaScript strcmp()?

What about

str1.localeCompare(str2)

How to convert a byte to its binary string representation

Is this what you are looking for?

converting from String to byte

byte b = (byte)(int)Integer.valueOf("10000010", 2);
System.out.println(b);// output -> -126

converting from byte to String

System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString((b+256)%256));// output -> "10000010"

Or as João Silva said in his comment to add leading 0 we can format string to length 8 and replace resulting leading spaces with zero, so in case of string like " 1010" we will get "00001010"

System.out.println(String.format("%8s", Integer.toBinaryString((b + 256) % 256))
                         .replace(' ', '0'));

How do I add FTP support to Eclipse?

I'm not sure if this works for you, but when I do small solo PHP projects with Eclipse, the first thing I set up is an Ant script for deploying the project to a remote testing environment. I code away locally, and whenever I want to test it, I just hit the shortcut which updates the remote site.

Eclipse has good Ant support out of the box, and the scripts aren't hard to make.

Don't over complicate it. Just give the link a color using the tags. It will leave a constant color that won't change even if you click it. So in your case just set it to blue. If it is set to a particular color of blue just you want to copy, you can press "print scrn" on your keyboard, paste in paint, and using the color picker(shaped as a dropper) pick the color of the link and view the code in the color settings.

How do I unbind "hover" in jQuery?

You can remove a specific event handler that was attached by on, using off

$("#ID").on ("eventName", additionalCss, handlerFunction);

// to remove the specific handler
$("#ID").off ("eventName", additionalCss, handlerFunction);

Using this, you will remove only handlerFunction
Another good practice, is to set a nameSpace for multiple attached events

$("#ID").on ("eventName1.nameSpace", additionalCss, handlerFunction1);
$("#ID").on ("eventName2.nameSpace", additionalCss, handlerFunction2);
// ...
$("#ID").on ("eventNameN.nameSpace", additionalCss, handlerFunctionN);

// and to remove handlerFunction from 1 to N, just use this
$("#ID").off(".nameSpace");

How to fix System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

how to add css class to html generic control div?

If you're going to be repeating this, might as well have an extension method:

// appends a string class to the html controls class attribute
public static void AddClass(this HtmlControl control, string newClass)
{
    if (control.Attributes["class"].IsNotNullAndNotEmpty())
    {
        control.Attributes["class"] += " " + newClass;
    }
    else
    {
        control.Attributes["class"] = newClass;
    }
}

bodyParser is deprecated express 4

In older versions of express, we had to use:

app.use(express.bodyparser()); 

because body-parser was a middleware between node and express. Now we have to use it like:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

What's the simplest way to extend a numpy array in 2 dimensions?

You can use:

>>> np.concatenate([array1, array2, ...]) 

e.g.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = [[1, 2, 3],[10, 20, 30]]
>>> b = [[100,200,300]]
>>> a = np.array(a) # not necessary, but numpy objects prefered to built-in
>>> b = np.array(b) # "^
>>> a
array([[ 1,  2,  3],
       [10, 20, 30]])
>>> b
array([[100, 200, 300]])
>>> c = np.concatenate([a,b])
>>> c
array([[  1,   2,   3],
       [ 10,  20,  30],
       [100, 200, 300]])
>>> print c
[[  1   2   3]
 [ 10  20  30]
 [100 200 300]]

~-+-~-+-~-+-~

Sometimes, you will come across trouble if a numpy array object is initialized with incomplete values for its shape property. This problem is fixed by assigning to the shape property the tuple: (array_length, element_length).

Note: Here, 'array_length' and 'element_length' are integer parameters, which you substitute values in for. A 'tuple' is just a pair of numbers in parentheses.

e.g.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([[1,2,3],[10,20,30]])
>>> b = np.array([100,200,300]) # initialize b with incorrect dimensions
>>> a.shape
(2, 3)
>>> b.shape
(3,)
>>> c = np.concatenate([a,b])

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#191>", line 1, in <module>
    c = np.concatenate([a,b])
ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions
>>> b.shape = (1,3)
>>> c = np.concatenate([a,b])
>>> c
array([[  1,   2,   3],
       [ 10,  20,  30],
       [100, 200, 300]])

CS0120: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'foo'

It looks like you are calling a non static member (a property or method, specifically setTextboxText) from a static method (specifically SumData). You will need to either:

  1. Make the called member static also:

    static void setTextboxText(int result)
    {
        // Write static logic for setTextboxText.  
        // This may require a static singleton instance of Form1.
    }
    
  2. Create an instance of Form1 within the calling method:

    private static void SumData(object state)
    {
        int result = 0;
        //int[] icount = (int[])state;
        int icount = (int)state;
    
        for (int i = icount; i > 0; i--)
        {
            result += i;
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
        Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
        frm1.setTextboxText(result);
    }
    

    Passing in an instance of Form1 would be an option also.

  3. Make the calling method a non-static instance method (of Form1):

    private void SumData(object state)
    {
        int result = 0;
        //int[] icount = (int[])state;
        int icount = (int)state;
    
        for (int i = icount; i > 0; i--)
        {
            result += i;
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
        setTextboxText(result);
    }

<Redirect exact from="/" to="searchDashboard" />

Database, Table and Column Naming Conventions?

My opinions on these are:

1) No, table names should be singular.

While it appears to make sense for the simple selection (select * from Orders) it makes less sense for the OO equivalent (Orders x = new Orders).

A table in a DB is really the set of that entity, it makes more sense once you're using set-logic:

select Orders.*
from Orders inner join Products
    on Orders.Key = Products.Key

That last line, the actual logic of the join, looks confusing with plural table names.

I'm not sure about always using an alias (as Matt suggests) clears that up.

2) They should be singular as they only hold 1 property

3) Never, if the column name is ambiguous (as above where they both have a column called [Key]) the name of the table (or its alias) can distinguish them well enough. You want queries to be quick to type and simple - prefixes add unnecessary complexity.

4) Whatever you want, I'd suggest CapitalCase

I don't think there's one set of absolute guidelines on any of these.

As long as whatever you pick is consistent across the application or DB I don't think it really matters.

vuetify center items into v-flex

v-flex does not have a display flex! Inspect v-flex in your browser and you will find out it is just a simple block div.

So, you should override it with display: flex in your HTML or CSS to make it work with justify-content.

Strip spaces/tabs/newlines - python

If you want to remove multiple whitespace items and replace them with single spaces, the easiest way is with a regexp like this:

>>> import re
>>> myString="I want to Remove all white \t spaces, new lines \n and tabs \t"
>>> re.sub('\s+',' ',myString)
'I want to Remove all white spaces, new lines and tabs '

You can then remove the trailing space with .strip() if you want to.

Bash script - variable content as a command to run

You just need to do:

#!/bin/bash
count=$(cat last_queries.txt | wc -l)
$(perl test.pl test2 $count)

However, if you want to call your Perl command later, and that's why you want to assign it to a variable, then:

#!/bin/bash
count=$(cat last_queries.txt | wc -l)
var="perl test.pl test2 $count" # You need double quotes to get your $count value substituted.

...stuff...

eval $var

As per Bash's help:

~$ help eval
eval: eval [arg ...]
    Execute arguments as a shell command.

    Combine ARGs into a single string, use the result as input to the shell,
    and execute the resulting commands.

    Exit Status:
    Returns exit status of command or success if command is null.

Read a zipped file as a pandas DataFrame

If you want to read a zipped or a tar.gz file into pandas dataframe, the read_csv methods includes this particular implementation.

df = pd.read_csv('filename.zip')

Or the long form:

df = pd.read_csv('filename.zip', compression='zip', header=0, sep=',', quotechar='"')

Description of the compression argument from the docs:

compression : {‘infer’, ‘gzip’, ‘bz2’, ‘zip’, ‘xz’, None}, default ‘infer’ For on-the-fly decompression of on-disk data. If ‘infer’ and filepath_or_buffer is path-like, then detect compression from the following extensions: ‘.gz’, ‘.bz2’, ‘.zip’, or ‘.xz’ (otherwise no decompression). If using ‘zip’, the ZIP file must contain only one data file to be read in. Set to None for no decompression.

New in version 0.18.1: support for ‘zip’ and ‘xz’ compression.

What is thread safe or non-thread safe in PHP?

Needed background on concurrency approaches:

Different web servers implement different techniques for handling incoming HTTP requests in parallel. A pretty popular technique is using threads -- that is, the web server will create/dedicate a single thread for each incoming request. The Apache HTTP web server supports multiple models for handling requests, one of which (called the worker MPM) uses threads. But it supports another concurrency model called the prefork MPM which uses processes -- that is, the web server will create/dedicate a single process for each request.

There are also other completely different concurrency models (using Asynchronous sockets and I/O), as well as ones that mix two or even three models together. For the purpose of answering this question, we are only concerned with the two models above, and taking Apache HTTP server as an example.

Needed background on how PHP "integrates" with web servers:

PHP itself does not respond to the actual HTTP requests -- this is the job of the web server. So we configure the web server to forward requests to PHP for processing, then receive the result and send it back to the user. There are multiple ways to chain the web server with PHP. For Apache HTTP Server, the most popular is "mod_php". This module is actually PHP itself, but compiled as a module for the web server, and so it gets loaded right inside it.

There are other methods for chaining PHP with Apache and other web servers, but mod_php is the most popular one and will also serve for answering your question.

You may not have needed to understand these details before, because hosting companies and GNU/Linux distros come with everything prepared for us.

Now, onto your question!

Since with mod_php, PHP gets loaded right into Apache, if Apache is going to handle concurrency using its Worker MPM (that is, using Threads) then PHP must be able to operate within this same multi-threaded environment -- meaning, PHP has to be thread-safe to be able to play ball correctly with Apache!

At this point, you should be thinking "OK, so if I'm using a multi-threaded web server and I'm going to embed PHP right into it, then I must use the thread-safe version of PHP". And this would be correct thinking. However, as it happens, PHP's thread-safety is highly disputed. It's a use-if-you-really-really-know-what-you-are-doing ground.

Final notes

In case you are wondering, my personal advice would be to not use PHP in a multi-threaded environment if you have the choice!

Speaking only of Unix-based environments, I'd say that fortunately, you only have to think of this if you are going to use PHP with Apache web server, in which case you are advised to go with the prefork MPM of Apache (which doesn't use threads, and therefore, PHP thread-safety doesn't matter) and all GNU/Linux distributions that I know of will take that decision for you when you are installing Apache + PHP through their package system, without even prompting you for a choice. If you are going to use other webservers such as nginx or lighttpd, you won't have the option to embed PHP into them anyway. You will be looking at using FastCGI or something equal which works in a different model where PHP is totally outside of the web server with multiple PHP processes used for answering requests through e.g. FastCGI. For such cases, thread-safety also doesn't matter. To see which version your website is using put a file containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> on your site and look for the Server API entry. This could say something like CGI/FastCGI or Apache 2.0 Handler.

If you also look at the command-line version of PHP -- thread safety does not matter.

Finally, if thread-safety doesn't matter so which version should you use -- the thread-safe or the non-thread-safe? Frankly, I don't have a scientific answer! But I'd guess that the non-thread-safe version is faster and/or less buggy, or otherwise they would have just offered the thread-safe version and not bothered to give us the choice!

How to iterate over each string in a list of strings and operate on it's elements

Try:

for word in words:
    if word[0] == word[-1]:
        c += 1
    print c

for word in words returns the items of words, not the index. If you need the index sometime, try using enumerate:

for idx, word in enumerate(words):
    print idx, word

would output

0, 'aba'
1, 'xyz'
etc.

The -1 in word[-1] above is Python's way of saying "the last element". word[-2] would give you the second last element, and so on.

You can also use a generator to achieve this.

c = sum(1 for word in words if word[0] == word[-1])

JQuery create a form and add elements to it programmatically

var form = $("<form/>", 
                 { action:'/myaction' }
            );
form.append( 
    $("<input>", 
         { type:'text', 
           placeholder:'Keywords', 
           name:'keyword', 
           style:'width:65%' }
     )
);

form.append( 
     $("<input>", 
          { type:'submit', 
            value:'Search', 
            style:'width:30%' }
       )
);

$("#someDivId").append(form);

VBA Excel - Insert row below with same format including borders and frames

When inserting a row, regardless of the CopyOrigin, Excel will only put vertical borders on the inserted cells if the borders above and below the insert position are the same.

I'm running into a similar (but rotated) situation with inserting columns, but Copy/Paste is too slow for my workbook (tens of thousands of rows, many columns, and complex formatting).

I've found three workarounds that don't require copying the formatting from the source row:

  1. Ensure the vertical borders are the same weight, color, and pattern above and below the insert position so Excel will replicate them in your new row. (This is the "It hurts when I do this," "Stop doing that!" answer.)

  2. Use conditional formatting to establish the border (with a Formula of "=TRUE"). The conditional formatting will be copied to the new row, so you still end up with a border.Caveats:

    • Conditional formatting borders are limited to the thin-weight lines.
    • Works best for sheets where borders are relatively consistent so you don't have to create a bunch of conditional formatting rules.
  3. Set the border on the inserted row in VBA after inserting the row. Setting a border on a range is much faster than copying and pasting all of the formatting just to get a border (assuming you know ahead of time what the border should be or can sample it from the row above without losing performance).

Angular 4/5/6 Global Variables

I use environment for that. It works automatically and you don't have to create new injectable service and most usefull for me, don't need to import via constructor.

1) Create environment variable in your environment.ts

export const environment = {
    ...
    // runtime variables
    isContentLoading: false,
    isDeployNeeded: false
}

2) Import environment.ts in *.ts file and create public variable (i.e. "env") to be able to use in html template

import { environment } from 'environments/environment';

@Component(...)
export class TestComponent {
    ...
    env = environment;
}

3) Use it in template...

<app-spinner *ngIf='env.isContentLoading'></app-spinner>

in *.ts ...

env.isContentLoading = false 

(or just environment.isContentLoading in case you don't need it for template)


You can create your own set of globals within environment.ts like so:

export const globals = {
    isContentLoading: false,
    isDeployNeeded: false
}

and import directly these variables (y)

CSS grid wrapping

I had a similar situation. On top of what you did, I wanted to center my columns in the container while not allowing empty columns to for them left or right:

.grid { 
    display: grid;
    grid-gap: 10px;
    justify-content: center;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(200px, auto));
}

Vue.js: Conditional class style binding

Use the object syntax.

v-bind:class="{'fa-checkbox-marked': content['cravings'],  'fa-checkbox-blank-outline': !content['cravings']}"

When the object gets more complicated, extract it into a method.

v-bind:class="getClass()"

methods:{
    getClass(){
        return {
            'fa-checkbox-marked': this.content['cravings'],  
            'fa-checkbox-blank-outline': !this.content['cravings']}
    }
}

Finally, you could make this work for any content property like this.

v-bind:class="getClass('cravings')"

methods:{
  getClass(property){
    return {
      'fa-checkbox-marked': this.content[property],
      'fa-checkbox-blank-outline': !this.content[property]
    }
  }
}

Using Spring RestTemplate in generic method with generic parameter

No, it is not a bug. It is a result of how the ParameterizedTypeReference hack works.

If you look at its implementation, it uses Class#getGenericSuperclass() which states

Returns the Type representing the direct superclass of the entity (class, interface, primitive type or void) represented by this Class.

If the superclass is a parameterized type, the Type object returned must accurately reflect the actual type parameters used in the source code.

So, if you use

new ParameterizedTypeReference<ResponseWrapper<MyClass>>() {}

it will accurately return a Type for ResponseWrapper<MyClass>.

If you use

new ParameterizedTypeReference<ResponseWrapper<T>>() {}

it will accurately return a Type for ResponseWrapper<T> because that is how it appears in the source code.

When Spring sees T, which is actually a TypeVariable object, it doesn't know the type to use, so it uses its default.

You cannot use ParameterizedTypeReference the way you are proposing, making it generic in the sense of accepting any type. Consider writing a Map with key Class mapped to a predefined ParameterizedTypeReference for that class.

You can subclass ParameterizedTypeReference and override its getType method to return an appropriately created ParameterizedType, as suggested by IonSpin.

Get String in YYYYMMDD format from JS date object?

Another way is to use toLocaleDateString with a locale that has a big-endian date format standard, such as Sweden, Lithuania, Hungary, South Korea, ...:

date.toLocaleDateString('se')

To remove the delimiters (-) is just a matter of replacing the non-digits:

_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log( new Date().toLocaleDateString('se').replace(/\D/g, '') );
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This does not have the potential error you can get with UTC date formats: the UTC date may be one day off compared to the date in the local time zone.

Create an empty object in JavaScript with {} or new Object()?

The object and array literal syntax {}/[] was introduced in JavaScript 1.2, so is not available (and will produce a syntax error) in versions of Netscape Navigator prior to 4.0.

My fingers still default to saying new Array(), but I am a very old man. Thankfully Netscape 3 is not a browser many people ever have to consider today...

Fork() function in C

First a link to some documentation of fork()

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fork.html

The pid is provided by the kernel. Every time the kernel create a new process it will increase the internal pid counter and assign the new process this new unique pid and also make sure there are no duplicates. Once the pid reaches some high number it will wrap and start over again.

So you never know what pid you will get from fork(), only that the parent will keep it's unique pid and that fork will make sure that the child process will have a new unique pid. This is stated in the documentation provided above.

If you continue reading the documentation you will see that fork() return 0 for the child process and the new unique pid of the child will be returned to the parent. If the child want to know it's own new pid you will have to query for it using getpid().

pid_t pid = fork()
if(pid == 0) {
    printf("this is a child: my new unique pid is %d\n", getpid());
} else {
    printf("this is the parent: my pid is %d and I have a child with pid %d \n", getpid(), pid);
}

and below is some inline comments on your code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    pid_t pid1, pid2, pid3;
    pid1=0, pid2=0, pid3=0;
    pid1= fork(); /* A */
    if(pid1 == 0){
        /* This is child A */
        pid2=fork(); /* B */
        pid3=fork(); /* C */
    } else {
        /* This is parent A */
        /* Child B and C will never reach this code */
        pid3=fork(); /* D */
        if(pid3==0) {
            /* This is child D fork'ed from parent A */
            pid2=fork(); /* E */
        }
        if((pid1 == 0)&&(pid2 == 0)) {
            /* pid1 will never be 0 here so this is dead code */
            printf("Level 1\n");
        }
        if(pid1 !=0) {
            /* This is always true for both parent and child E */
            printf("Level 2\n");
        }
        if(pid2 !=0) {
           /* This is parent E (same as parent A) */
           printf("Level 3\n");
        }
        if(pid3 !=0) {
           /* This is parent D (same as parent A) */
           printf("Level 4\n");
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Type of expression is ambiguous without more context Swift

The compiler can't figure out what type to make the Dictionary, because it's not homogenous. You have values of different types. The only way to get around this is to make it a [String: Any], which will make everything clunky as all hell.

return [
    "title": title,
    "is_draft": isDraft,
    "difficulty": difficulty,
    "duration": duration,
    "cost": cost,
    "user_id": userId,
    "description": description,
    "to_sell": toSell,
    "images": [imageParameters, imageToDeleteParameters].flatMap { $0 }
] as [String: Any]

This is a job for a struct. It'll vastly simplify working with this data structure.

Border length smaller than div width?

Another way to do this (in modern browsers) is with a negative spread box-shadow. Check out this updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WuZat/290/

box-shadow: 0px 24px 3px -24px magenta;

I think the safest and most compatible way is the accepted answer above, though. Just thought I'd share another technique.

How do you extract IP addresses from files using a regex in a linux shell?

This works fine for me in access logs.

cat access_log | egrep -o '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}'

Let's break it part by part.

  • [0-9]{1,3} means one to three occurrences of the range mentioned in []. In this case it is 0-9. so it matches patterns like 10 or 183.

  • Followed by a '.'. We will need to escape this as '.' is a meta character and has special meaning for the shell.

So now we are at patterns like '123.' '12.' etc.

  • This pattern repeats itself three times(with the '.'). So we enclose it in brackets. ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}

  • And lastly the pattern repeats itself but this time without the '.'. That is why we kept it separately in the 3rd step. [0-9]{1,3}

If the ips are at the beginning of each line as in my case use:

egrep -o '^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}'

where '^' is an anchor that tells to search at the start of a line.

2 "style" inline css img tags?

Do not use more than one style attribute. Just seperate styles in the style attribute with ; It is a block of inline CSS, so think of this as you would do CSS in a separate stylesheet.

So in this case its: style="height:100px;width:100px;"

You can use this for any CSS style, so if you wanted to change the colour of the text to white: style="height:100px;width:100px;color:#ffffff" and so on.

However, it is worth using inline CSS sparingly, as it can make code less manageable in future. Using an external stylesheet may be a better option for this. It depends really on your requirements. Inline CSS does make for quicker coding.

How to set time to a date object in java

I would read into a ByteArrayOutputStream and then call toByteArray() to get the resultant byte array. You don't need to define the size in advance (although it's possibly an optimisation if you know it. In many cases you won't)

How to drop all tables from a database with one SQL query?

If you want to use only one SQL query to delete all tables you can use this:

EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = "DROP TABLE ?"

This is a hidden Stored Procedure in sql server, and will be executed for each table in the database you're connected.

Note: You may need to execute the query a few times to delete all tables due to dependencies.

Note2: To avoid the first note, before running the query, first check if there foreign keys relations to any table. If there are then just disable foreign key constraint by running the query bellow:

EXEC sp_msforeachtable "ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT all"

Checking for an empty file in C++

C++17 solution:

#include <filesystem>

const auto filepath = <path to file> (as a std::string or std::filesystem::path)

auto isEmpty = (std::filesystem::file_size(filepath) == 0);

Assumes you have the filepath location stored, I don't think you can extract a filepath from an std::ifstream object.

Change grid interval and specify tick labels in Matplotlib

There are several problems in your code.

First the big ones:

  1. You are creating a new figure and a new axes in every iteration of your loop ? put fig = plt.figure and ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) outside of the loop.

  2. Don't use the Locators. Call the functions ax.set_xticks() and ax.grid() with the correct keywords.

  3. With plt.axes() you are creating a new axes again. Use ax.set_aspect('equal').

The minor things: You should not mix the MATLAB-like syntax like plt.axis() with the objective syntax. Use ax.set_xlim(a,b) and ax.set_ylim(a,b)

This should be a working minimal example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)

# Major ticks every 20, minor ticks every 5
major_ticks = np.arange(0, 101, 20)
minor_ticks = np.arange(0, 101, 5)

ax.set_xticks(major_ticks)
ax.set_xticks(minor_ticks, minor=True)
ax.set_yticks(major_ticks)
ax.set_yticks(minor_ticks, minor=True)

# And a corresponding grid
ax.grid(which='both')

# Or if you want different settings for the grids:
ax.grid(which='minor', alpha=0.2)
ax.grid(which='major', alpha=0.5)

plt.show()

Output is this:

How do I view the full content of a text or varchar(MAX) column in SQL Server 2008 Management Studio?

I prefer this simple XML hack which makes columns clickable in SSMS on a cell-by-cell basis. With this method, you can view your data quickly in SSMS’s tabular view and click on particular cells to see the full value when they are interesting. This is identical to the OP’s technique except that it avoids the XML errors.

SELECT
     e.EventID
    ,CAST(REPLACE(REPLACE(e.Details, '&', '&amp;'), '<', '&lt;') AS XML) Details
FROM Events e
WHERE 1=1
AND e.EventID BETWEEN 13920 AND 13930

Could not autowire field:RestTemplate in Spring boot application

Error points directly that RestTemplate bean is not defined in context and it cannot load the beans.

  1. Define a bean for RestTemplate and then use it
  2. Use a new instance of the RestTemplate

If you are sure that the bean is defined for the RestTemplate then use the following to print the beans that are available in the context loaded by spring boot application

ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
String[] beanNames = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
Arrays.sort(beanNames);
for (String beanName : beanNames) {
    System.out.println(beanName);
}

If this contains the bean by the name/type given, then all good. Or else define a new bean and then use it.

How do I download/extract font from chrome developers tools?

Although Marcelo's solution seems to be working great, you may not need to download the font at all! Just link to it remotely.

E.g the font is hosted on example.com, do

@font-face {
  font-family: "Font Name";
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(http://example.com/webfonts/font-name.woff);
}

You may easily figure out the direct url to the font by looking into css code from example.com and see how they linked the file.

how to bypass Access-Control-Allow-Origin?

Warning, Chrome (and other browsers) will complain that multiple ACAO headers are set if you follow some of the other answers.

The error will be something like XMLHttpRequest cannot load ____. The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains multiple values '____, ____, ____', but only one is allowed. Origin '____' is therefore not allowed access.

Try this:

$http_origin = $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'];

$allowed_domains = array(
  'http://domain1.com',
  'http://domain2.com',
);

if (in_array($http_origin, $allowed_domains))
{

}

How to set session variable in jquery?

You could try using HTML5s sessionStorage it lasts for the duration on the page session. A page session lasts for as long as the browser is open and survives over page reloads and restores. Opening a page in a new tab or window will cause a new session to be initiated.

sessionStorage.setItem("username", "John");

Format date as dd/MM/yyyy using pipes

You can achieve this using by a simple custom pipe.

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';

@Pipe({
    name: 'dateFormatPipe',
})
export class dateFormatPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: string) {
       var datePipe = new DatePipe("en-US");
        value = datePipe.transform(value, 'dd/MM/yyyy');
        return value;
    }
}


{{currentDate | dateFormatPipe }}

Advantage of using a custom pipe is that, if you want to update the date format in future, you can go and update your custom pipe and it will reflect every where.

What is PostgreSQL equivalent of SYSDATE from Oracle?

SYSDATE is an Oracle only function.

The ANSI standard defines current_date or current_timestamp which is supported by Postgres and documented in the manual:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-CURRENT

(Btw: Oracle supports CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as well)

You should pay attention to the difference between current_timestamp, statement_timestamp() and clock_timestamp() (which is explained in the manual, see the above link)


This statement:

select up_time from exam where up_time like sysdate

Does not make any sense at all. Neither in Oracle nor in Postgres. If you want to get rows from "today", you need something like:

select up_time 
from exam 
where up_time = current_date

Note that in Oracle you would probably want trunc(up_time) = trunc(sysdate) to get rid of the time part that is always included in Oracle.

How to set a default value for an existing column

First drop constraints

https://stackoverflow.com/a/49393045/2547164

DECLARE @ConstraintName nvarchar(200)
SELECT @ConstraintName = Name FROM SYS.DEFAULT_CONSTRAINTS
WHERE PARENT_OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('__TableName__')
AND PARENT_COLUMN_ID = (SELECT column_id FROM sys.columns
                        WHERE NAME = N'__ColumnName__'
                        AND object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'__TableName__'))
IF @ConstraintName IS NOT NULL
EXEC('ALTER TABLE __TableName__ DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @ConstraintName)

Second create default value

ALTER TABLE [table name] ADD DEFAULT [default value] FOR [column name]

How to dismiss the dialog with click on outside of the dialog?

You can use this implementation of onTouchEvent. It prevent from reacting underneath activity to the touch event (as mentioned howettl).

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent ( MotionEvent event ) {
  // I only care if the event is an UP action
  if ( event.getAction () == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP ) {
    // create a rect for storing the window rect
    Rect r = new Rect ( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
    // retrieve the windows rect
    this.getWindow ().getDecorView ().getHitRect ( r );
    // check if the event position is inside the window rect
    boolean intersects = r.contains ( (int) event.getX (), (int) event.getY () );
    // if the event is not inside then we can close the activity
    if ( !intersects ) {
      // close the activity
      this.finish ();
      // notify that we consumed this event
      return true;
    }
  }
  // let the system handle the event
  return super.onTouchEvent ( event );
}

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

Updated Answer for Node.js ~>0.8

Node is able to concatenate buffers on its own now.

var newBuffer = Buffer.concat([buffer1, buffer2]);

Old Answer for Node.js ~0.6

I use a module to add a .concat function, among others:

https://github.com/coolaj86/node-bufferjs

I know it isn't a "pure" solution, but it works very well for my purposes.

 */
function xml2array ( $xmlObject, $out = array () )
{
    foreach ( (array) $xmlObject as $index => $node )
        $out[$index] = ( is_object ( $node ) ) ? xml2array ( $node ) : $node;

    return $out;
}

It could help you. However, if you convert XML to an array you will loose all attributes that might be present, so you cannot go back to XML and get the same XML.

Extracting time from POSIXct

You can use strftime to convert datetimes to any character format:

> t <- strftime(times, format="%H:%M:%S")
> t
 [1] "02:06:49" "03:37:07" "00:22:45" "00:24:35" "03:09:57" "03:10:41"
 [7] "05:05:57" "07:39:39" "06:47:56" "07:56:36"

But that doesn't help very much, since you want to plot your data. One workaround is to strip the date element from your times, and then to add an identical date to all of your times:

> xx <- as.POSIXct(t, format="%H:%M:%S")
> xx
 [1] "2012-03-23 02:06:49 GMT" "2012-03-23 03:37:07 GMT"
 [3] "2012-03-23 00:22:45 GMT" "2012-03-23 00:24:35 GMT"
 [5] "2012-03-23 03:09:57 GMT" "2012-03-23 03:10:41 GMT"
 [7] "2012-03-23 05:05:57 GMT" "2012-03-23 07:39:39 GMT"
 [9] "2012-03-23 06:47:56 GMT" "2012-03-23 07:56:36 GMT"

Now you can use these datetime objects in your plot:

plot(xx, rnorm(length(xx)), xlab="Time", ylab="Random value")

What is the best way to programmatically detect porn images?

This was written in 2000, not sure if the state of the art in porn detection has advanced at all, but I doubt it.

http://www.dansdata.com/pornsweeper.htm

PORNsweeper seems to have some ability to distinguish pictures of people from pictures of things that aren't people, as long as the pictures are in colour. It is less successful at distinguishing dirty pictures of people from clean ones.

With the default, medium sensitivity, if Human Resources sends around a picture of the new chap in Accounts, you've got about a 50% chance of getting it. If your sister sends you a picture of her six-month-old, it's similarly likely to be detained.

It's only fair to point out amusing errors, like calling the Mona Lisa porn, if they're representative of the behaviour of the software. If the makers admit that their algorithmic image recogniser will drop the ball 15% of the time, then making fun of it when it does exactly that is silly.

But PORNsweeper only seems to live up to its stated specifications in one department - detection of actual porn. It's half-way decent at detecting porn, but it's bad at detecting clean pictures. And I wouldn't be surprised if no major leaps were made in this area in the near future.

Regex date format validation on Java

The following regex will accept YYYY-MM-DD (within the range 1600-2999 year) formatted dates taking into consideration leap years:

 ^((?:(?:1[6-9]|2[0-9])\d{2})(-)(?:(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])(-)31)|((0[1,3-9]|1[0-2])(-)(29|30))))$|^(?:(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)))(-)02(-)29)$|^(?:(?:1[6-9]|2[0-9])\d{2})(-)(?:(?:0[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))(-)(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])$

Examples:

Date regex examples

You can test it here.

Note: if you want to accept one digit as month or day you can use:

 ^((?:(?:1[6-9]|2[0-9])\d{2})(-)(?:(?:(?:0?[13578]|1[02])(-)31)|((0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])(-)(29|30))))$|^(?:(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00)))(-)0?2(-)29)$|^(?:(?:1[6-9]|2[0-9])\d{2})(-)(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))(-)(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])$

I have created the above regex starting from this solution

Asp.net Validation of viewstate MAC failed

On multi-server environment, this error likely occurs when session expires and another instance of an application is resorted with same session id and machine key but on a different server. At first, each server produce its own machine key which later is associated with a single instance of an application. When session expires and current server is busy, the application is redirected like, via load balancer to a more operational server. In my case I run same app from multiple servers, the error message:

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm

Defining the machine code under in web.config have solve the problem. But instead of using 3rd party sites for code generation which might be corrupted, please run this from your command shell: Based on microsoft solution 1a, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2915218#AppendixA

Your key will look like: <machineKey decryption="AES" decryptionKey="..." validation="SHA1" validationKey="..." />

How to delete a module in Android Studio

In Android studio v1.0.2

Method 1

Go to project structure, File -> Project Structure..., as the following picture show, click - icon to remove the module.enter image description here

Method 2

Edit the file settings.gradle and remove the entry you are going to delete. e.g. edit the file from include ':app', ':apple' to include ':app'.

That will work in most of the situation, however finally you have to delete the module from disk manually if you don't need it anymore.

How to convert an iterator to a stream?

One way is to create a Spliterator from the Iterator and use that as a basis for your stream:

Iterator<String> sourceIterator = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C").iterator();
Stream<String> targetStream = StreamSupport.stream(
          Spliterators.spliteratorUnknownSize(sourceIterator, Spliterator.ORDERED),
          false);

An alternative which is maybe more readable is to use an Iterable - and creating an Iterable from an Iterator is very easy with lambdas because Iterable is a functional interface:

Iterator<String> sourceIterator = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C").iterator();

Iterable<String> iterable = () -> sourceIterator;
Stream<String> targetStream = StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false);

Laravel Eloquent update just if changes have been made

I like to add this method, if you are using an edit form, you can use this code to save the changes in your update(Request $request, $id) function:

$post = Post::find($id);    
$post->fill($request->input())->save();

keep in mind that you have to name your inputs with the same column name. The fill() function will do all the work for you :)

How do I change the UUID of a virtual disk?

If you've copied a disk (vmdk file) from one machine to another and need to change a disk's UUID in the copy, you don't need to change the Machine UUID as has been suggested by another answer.

All you need to do is to assign a new UUID to the disk image:

VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid your-box-disk2.vmdk
UUID changed to: 5d34479f-5597-4b78-a1fa-94e200d16bbb

and then replace the old UUID with the newly generated one in two places in your *.vbox file

<MediaRegistry>
  <HardDisks>
    <HardDisk uuid="{5d34479f-5597-4b78-a1fa-94e200d16bbb}" location="box-disk2.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/>
  </HardDisks>

and in

    <AttachedDevice type="HardDisk" hotpluggable="false" port="0" device="0">
      <Image uuid="{5d34479f-5597-4b78-a1fa-94e200d16bbb}"/>
    </AttachedDevice>

It worked for me for VirtualBox ver. 5.1.8 running on Mac OS X El Capitan.

Styles.Render in MVC4

I did all things necessary to add bundling to an MVC 3 web (I'm new to the existing solution). Styles.Render didn't work for me. I finally discovered I was simply missing a colon. In a master page: <%: Styles.Render("~/Content/Css") %> I'm still confused about why (on the same page) <% Html.RenderPartial("LogOnUserControl"); %> works without the colon.

Setting a minimum/maximum character count for any character using a regular expression

If you also want to match newlines, then you might want to use "^[\s\S]{1,35}$" (depending on the regex engine). Otherwise, as others have said, you should used "^.{1,35}$"

Laravel Advanced Wheres how to pass variable into function?

You can pass the necessary variables from the parent scope into the closure with the use keyword.

For example:

DB::table('users')->where(function ($query) use ($activated) {
    $query->where('activated', '=', $activated);
})->get();

More on that here.

EDIT (2019 update):

PHP 7.4 (will be released at November 28, 2019) introduces a shorter variation of the anonymous functions called arrow functions which makes this a bit less verbose.

An example using PHP 7.4 which is functionally nearly equivalent (see the 3rd bullet point below):

DB::table('users')->where(fn($query) => $query->where('activated', '=', $activated))->get();

Differences compared to the regular syntax:

  • fn keyword instead of function.
  • No need to explicitly list all variables which should be captured from the parent scope - this is now done automatically by-value. See the lack of use keyword in the latter example.
  • Arrow functions always return a value. This also means that it's impossible to use void return type when declaring them.
  • The return keyword must be omitted.
  • Arrow functions must have a single expression which is the return statement. Multi-line functions aren't supported at the moment. You can still chain methods though.

How to change Bootstrap's global default font size?

There are several ways but since you are using just the CSS version and not the SASS or LESS versions, your best bet to use Bootstraps own customization tool:

http://getbootstrap.com/customize/

Customize whatever you want on this page and then you can download a custom build with your own font sizes and anything else you want to change.

Altering the CSS file directly (or simply adding new CSS styles that override the Bootstrap CSS) is not recommended because other Bootstrap styles' values are derived from the base font size. For example:

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss#L52

You can see that the base font size is used to calculate the sizes of the h1, h2, h3 etc. If you just changed the font size in the CSS (or added your own overriding font-size) all the other values that used the font size in calculations would no longer be proportionally accurate according to Bootstrap's design.

As I said, your best bet is to just use their own Customize tool. That is exactly what it's for.

If you are using SASS or LESS, you would change the font size in the variables file before compiling.

How do I skip a header from CSV files in Spark?

If there were just one header line in the first record, then the most efficient way to filter it out would be:

rdd.mapPartitionsWithIndex {
  (idx, iter) => if (idx == 0) iter.drop(1) else iter 
}

This doesn't help if of course there are many files with many header lines inside. You can union three RDDs you make this way, indeed.

You could also just write a filter that matches only a line that could be a header. This is quite simple, but less efficient.

Python equivalent:

from itertools import islice

rdd.mapPartitionsWithIndex(
    lambda idx, it: islice(it, 1, None) if idx == 0 else it 
)

Install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7

Fake IE10 to install Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2013 requires Internet Explorer 10. If you try to install it on Windows 7 with IE8 you get the following error This version of Visual Studio requires Internet Explorer 10”. The value that the VS 2013 installer checks is svcVersion in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorerkey on 32-bit Windows and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer on 64-bit Windows. Any value >= 10.0.0.0 makes the installer happy.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]

Create a day-of-week column in a Pandas dataframe using Python

In version 0.18.1 is added dt.weekday_name:

1 2015-01-02       2
2 2015-01-03       3

print df.dtypes
my_dates    datetime64[ns]
myvals               int64
dtype: object

df['day_of_week'] = df['my_dates'].dt.weekday_name
print df
    my_dates  myvals day_of_week
0 2015-01-01       1    Thursday
1 2015-01-02       2      Friday
2 2015-01-03       3    Saturday

Another solution with assign:

print df.assign(day_of_week = df['my_dates'].dt.weekday_name)
    my_dates  myvals day_of_week
0 2015-01-01       1    Thursday

How to apply a low-pass or high-pass filter to an array in Matlab?

Look at the filter function.

If you just need a 1-pole low-pass filter, it's

xfilt = filter(a, [1 a-1], x);

where a = T/τ, T = the time between samples, and τ (tau) is the filter time constant.

Here's the corresponding high-pass filter:

xfilt = filter([1-a a-1],[1 a-1], x);

If you need to design a filter, and have a license for the Signal Processing Toolbox, there's a bunch of functions, look at fvtool and fdatool.

Date format in the json output using spring boot

If you want to change the format for all dates you can add a builder customizer. Here is an example of a bean that converts dates to ISO 8601:

@Bean
public Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer jsonCustomizer() {
    return new Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer() {
        @Override
        public void customize(Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder builder) {
            builder.dateFormat(new ISO8601DateFormat());        
        }           
    };
}

How do I get my Python program to sleep for 50 milliseconds?

You can also use pyautogui as:

import pyautogui
pyautogui._autoPause(0.05, False)

If the first argument is not None, then it will pause for first argument's seconds, in this example: 0.05 seconds

If the first argument is None, and the second argument is True, then it will sleep for the global pause setting which is set with:

pyautogui.PAUSE = int

If you are wondering about the reason, see the source code:

def _autoPause(pause, _pause):
    """If `pause` is not `None`, then sleep for `pause` seconds.
    If `_pause` is `True`, then sleep for `PAUSE` seconds (the global pause setting).

    This function is called at the end of all of PyAutoGUI's mouse and keyboard functions. Normally, `_pause`
    is set to `True` to add a short sleep so that the user can engage the failsafe. By default, this sleep
    is as long as `PAUSE` settings. However, this can be override by setting `pause`, in which case the sleep
    is as long as `pause` seconds.
    """
    if pause is not None:
        time.sleep(pause)
    elif _pause:
        assert isinstance(PAUSE, int) or isinstance(PAUSE, float)
        time.sleep(PAUSE)

Is it possible to add an array or object to SharedPreferences on Android

To write,

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
        .getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
jsonArray.put(1);
jsonArray.put(2);
Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putString("key", jsonArray.toString());
System.out.println(jsonArray.toString());
editor.commit();

To Read,

try {
    JSONArray jsonArray2 = new JSONArray(prefs.getString("key", "[]"));
    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray2.length(); i++) {
         Log.d("your JSON Array", jsonArray2.getInt(i)+"");
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Other way to do same:

//Retrieve the values
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonText = Prefs.getString("key", null);
String[] text = gson.fromJson(jsonText, String[].class);  //EDIT: gso to gson


//Set the values
Gson gson = new Gson();
List<String> textList = new ArrayList<String>(data);
String jsonText = gson.toJson(textList);
prefsEditor.putString("key", jsonText);
prefsEditor.apply();

Using GSON in Java:

public void saveArrayList(ArrayList<String> list, String key){
    SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = gson.toJson(list);
    editor.putString(key, json);
    editor.apply();    

}

public ArrayList<String> getArrayList(String key){
    SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity);
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String json = prefs.getString(key, null);
    Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<String>>() {}.getType();
    return gson.fromJson(json, type);
}

Using GSON in Kotlin

fun saveArrayList(list: java.util.ArrayList<String?>?, key: String?) {
    val prefs: SharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity)
    val editor: Editor = prefs.edit()
    val gson = Gson()
    val json: String = gson.toJson(list)
    editor.putString(key, json)
    editor.apply()
}

fun getArrayList(key: String?): java.util.ArrayList<String?>? {
    val prefs: SharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(activity)
    val gson = Gson()
    val json: String = prefs.getString(key, null)
    val type: Type = object : TypeToken<java.util.ArrayList<String?>?>() {}.getType()
    return gson.fromJson(json, type)
}

Resetting a form in Angular 2 after submit

For Angular 2 Final, we now have a new API that cleanly resets the form:

@Component({...})
class App {

    form: FormGroup;
     ...
    reset() {
       this.form.reset();
   }
}

This API not only resets the form values, but also sets the form field states back to ng-pristine and ng-untouched.

How to document a method with parameter(s)?

Based on my experience, the numpy docstring conventions (PEP257 superset) are the most widely-spread followed conventions that are also supported by tools, such as Sphinx.

One example:

Parameters
----------

    Description of parameter `x`.

compare two files in UNIX

Well, you can just sort the files first, and diff the sorted files.

sort file1 > file1.sorted
sort file2 > file2.sorted
diff file1.sorted file2.sorted

You can also filter the output to report lines in file2 which are absent from file1:

diff -u file1.sorted file2.sorted | grep "^+" 

As indicated in comments, you in fact do not need to sort the files. Instead, you can use a process substitution and say:

diff <(sort file1) <(sort file2)

"ImportError: No module named" when trying to run Python script

The main reason is the sys.paths of Python and IPython are different.

Please refer to lucypark link, the solution works in my case. It happen when install opencv by

conda install opencv

And got import error in iPython, There are three steps to solve this issue:

import cv2
ImportError: ...

1. Check path in Python and iPython with following command

import sys
sys.path

You will find different result from Python and Jupyter. Second step, just use sys.path.append to fix the missed path by try-and-error.

2. Temporary solution

In iPython:

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/osboxes/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
import cv2

the ImportError:.. issue solved

3. Permanent solution

Create an iPython profile and set initial append:

In bash shell:

ipython profile create
... CHECK the path prompted , and edit the prompted config file like my case
vi /home/osboxes/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_kernel_config.py

In vi, append to the file:

c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = [
 'import sys; sys.path.append("/home/osboxes/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages")'
]

DONE

How can I check if a MySQL table exists with PHP?

$res = mysql_query("SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = '$databasename' AND table_name = '$tablename';");

If no records are returned then it doesn't exist.

parseInt with jQuery

var test = parseInt($("#testid").val(), 10);

You have to tell it you want the value of the input you are targeting.

And also, always provide the second argument (radix) to parseInt. It tries to be too clever and autodetect it if not provided and can lead to unexpected results.

Providing 10 assumes you are wanting a base 10 number.

Change R default library path using .libPaths in Rprofile.site fails to work

I generally try to keep all of my packages in one library, but if you want to add a library why not append the new library (which must already exist in your filesystem) to the existing library path?

.libPaths( c( .libPaths(), "~/userLibrary") )
 # obviously this would need to be a valid file directory in your OS
 # min just happened to be on a Mac that day

Or (and this will make the userLibrary the first place to put new packages):

.libPaths( c( "~/userLibrary" , .libPaths() ) )

Then I get (at least back when I wrote this originally):

> .libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library"
[2] "/Users/user_name/userLibrary"  

The .libPaths function is a bit different than most other nongraphics functions. It works via side-effect. The functions Sys.getenv and Sys.setenv that report and alter the R environment variables have been split apart but .libPaths can either report or alter its target.

The information about the R startup process can be read at ?Startup help page and there is RStudio material at: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200549016-Customizing-RStudio

In your case it appears that RStudio is not respecting the Rprofile.site settings or perhaps is overriding them by reading an .Rprofile setting from one of the RStudio defaults. It should also be mentioned that the result from this operation also appends the contents of calls to .Library and .Library.site, which is further reason why an RStudio- (or any other IDE or network installed-) hosted R might exhibit different behavior.

Since Sys.getenv() returns the current system environment for the R process, you can see the library and other paths with:

Sys.getenv()[ grep("LIB|PATH", names(Sys.getenv())) ]

The two that matter for storing and accessing packages are (now different on a Linux box):

R_LIBS_SITE                          /usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library
R_LIBS_USER                          /home/david/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5.1/
 

ValueError: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single shape

This particular error implies that one of the variables being used in the arithmetic on the line has a shape incompatible with another on the same line (i.e., both different and non-scalar). Since n and the output of np.add.reduce() are both scalars, this implies that the problem lies with xm and ym, the two of which are simply your x and y inputs minus their respective means.

Based on this, my guess is that your x and y inputs have different shapes from one another, making them incompatible for element-wise multiplication.

** Technically, it's not that variables on the same line have incompatible shapes. The only problem is when two variables being added, multiplied, etc., have incompatible shapes, whether the variables are temporary (e.g., function output) or not. Two variables with different shapes on the same line are fine as long as something else corrects the issue before the mathematical expression is evaluated.

How to clear a data grid view

For having a Datagrid you must have a method which is formatting your Datagrid. If you want clear the Datagrid you just recall the method.

Here is my method:

    public string[] dgv_Headers = new string[] { "Id","Hotel", "Lunch", "Dinner", "Excursions", "Guide", "Bus" }; // This defined at Public partial class


    private void SetDgvHeader()
    {
        dgv.Rows.Clear();
        dgv.ColumnCount = 7;
        dgv.RowHeadersVisible = false;
        int Nbr = int.Parse(daysBox.Text);  // in my method it's the textbox where i keep the number of rows I have to use
        dgv.Rows.Add(Nbr);
        for(int i =0; i<Nbr;++i)
            dgv.Rows[i].Height = 20;
        for (int i = 0; i < dgv_Headers.Length; ++i)
        {
            if(i==0)
                dgv.Columns[i].Visible = false;  // I need an invisible cells if you don't need you can skip it
            else
                dgv.Columns[i].Width = 78;
            dgv.Columns[i].HeaderText = dgv_Headers[i];
        }
        dgv.Height = (Nbr* dgv.Rows[0].Height) + 35;
        dgv.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
    }

dgv is the name of DataGridView

Does the 'mutable' keyword have any purpose other than allowing the variable to be modified by a const function?

Your use with boost::mutex is exactly what this keyword is intended for. Another use is for internal result caching to speed access.

Basically, 'mutable' applies to any class attribute that does not affect the externally visible state of the object.

In the sample code in your question, mutable might be inappropriate if the value of done_ affects external state, it depends on what is in the ...; part.

Returning IEnumerable<T> vs. IQueryable<T>

Yes, both will give you deferred execution.

The difference is that IQueryable<T> is the interface that allows LINQ-to-SQL (LINQ.-to-anything really) to work. So if you further refine your query on an IQueryable<T>, that query will be executed in the database, if possible.

For the IEnumerable<T> case, it will be LINQ-to-object, meaning that all objects matching the original query will have to be loaded into memory from the database.

In code:

IQueryable<Customer> custs = ...;
// Later on...
var goldCustomers = custs.Where(c => c.IsGold);

That code will execute SQL to only select gold customers. The following code, on the other hand, will execute the original query in the database, then filtering out the non-gold customers in the memory:

IEnumerable<Customer> custs = ...;
// Later on...
var goldCustomers = custs.Where(c => c.IsGold);

This is quite an important difference, and working on IQueryable<T> can in many cases save you from returning too many rows from the database. Another prime example is doing paging: If you use Take and Skip on IQueryable, you will only get the number of rows requested; doing that on an IEnumerable<T> will cause all of your rows to be loaded in memory.

curl -GET and -X GET

By default you use curl without explicitly saying which request method to use. If you just pass in a HTTP URL like curl http://example.com it will use GET. If you use -d or -F curl will use POST, -I will cause a HEAD and -T will make it a PUT.

If for whatever reason you're not happy with these default choices that curl does for you, you can override those request methods by specifying -X [WHATEVER]. This way you can for example send a DELETE by doing curl -X DELETE [URL].

It is thus pointless to do curl -X GET [URL] as GET would be used anyway. In the same vein it is pointless to do curl -X POST -d data [URL]... But you can make a fun and somewhat rare request that sends a request-body in a GET request with something like curl -X GET -d data [URL].

Digging deeper

curl -GET (using a single dash) is just wrong for this purpose. That's the equivalent of specifying the -G, -E and -T options and that will do something completely different.

There's also a curl option called --get to not confuse matters with either. It is the long form of -G, which is used to convert data specified with -d into a GET request instead of a POST.

(I subsequently used my own answer here to populate the curl FAQ to cover this.)

Warnings

Modern versions of curl will inform users about this unnecessary and potentially harmful use of -X when verbose mode is enabled (-v) - to make users aware. Further explained and motivated in this blog post.

-G converts a POST + body to a GET + query

You can ask curl to convert a set of -d options and instead of sending them in the request body with POST, put them at the end of the URL's query string and issue a GET, with the use of `-G. Like this:

curl -d name=daniel -d grumpy=yes -G https://example.com/

Custom HTTP headers : naming conventions

The format for HTTP headers is defined in the HTTP specification. I'm going to talk about HTTP 1.1, for which the specification is RFC 2616. In section 4.2, 'Message Headers', the general structure of a header is defined:

   message-header = field-name ":" [ field-value ]
   field-name     = token
   field-value    = *( field-content | LWS )
   field-content  = <the OCTETs making up the field-value
                    and consisting of either *TEXT or combinations
                    of token, separators, and quoted-string>

This definition rests on two main pillars, token and TEXT. Both are defined in section 2.2, 'Basic Rules'. Token is:

   token          = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>

In turn resting on CHAR, CTL and separators:

   CHAR           = <any US-ASCII character (octets 0 - 127)>

   CTL            = <any US-ASCII control character
                    (octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)>

   separators     = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
                  | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
                  | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
                  | "{" | "}" | SP | HT

TEXT is:

   TEXT           = <any OCTET except CTLs,
                    but including LWS>

Where LWS is linear white space, whose definition i won't reproduce, and OCTET is:

   OCTET          = <any 8-bit sequence of data>

There is a note accompanying the definition:

The TEXT rule is only used for descriptive field contents and values
that are not intended to be interpreted by the message parser. Words
of *TEXT MAY contain characters from character sets other than ISO-
8859-1 [22] only when encoded according to the rules of RFC 2047
[14].

So, two conclusions. Firstly, it's clear that the header name must be composed from a subset of ASCII characters - alphanumerics, some punctuation, not a lot else. Secondly, there is nothing in the definition of a header value that restricts it to ASCII or excludes 8-bit characters: it's explicitly composed of octets, with only control characters barred (note that CR and LF are considered controls). Furthermore, the comment on the TEXT production implies that the octets are to be interpreted as being in ISO-8859-1, and that there is an encoding mechanism (which is horrible, incidentally) for representing characters outside that encoding.

So, to respond to @BalusC in particular, it's quite clear that according to the specification, header values are in ISO-8859-1. I've sent high-8859-1 characters (specifically, some accented vowels as used in French) in a header out of Tomcat, and had them interpreted correctly by Firefox, so to some extent, this works in practice as well as in theory (although this was a Location header, which contains a URL, and these characters are not legal in URLs, so this was actually illegal, but under a different rule!).

That said, i wouldn't rely on ISO-8859-1 working across all servers, proxies, and clients, so i would stick to ASCII as a matter of defensive programming.

StringStream in C#

You have a number of options:

One is to not use streams, but use the TextWriter

   void Print(TextWriter writer) 
   {
   }

   void Main() 
  {
    var textWriter = new StringWriter();
    Print(writer);
    string myString = textWriter.ToString();
   }

It's likely that TextWriter is the appropriate level of abstraction for your print function. Streams are aimed at writing binary data, while TextWriter works at a higher abstraction level, specifically geared towards outputting strings.

If your motivation is that you also want your Print function to write to files, you can get a text writer from a filestream as well.

void Print(TextWriter writer) 
{
}

void PrintToFile(string filePath) 
{
     using(var textWriter = new StreamWriter(filePath))
     {
         Print(writer);
     }
}

If you REALLY want a stream you can look at MemoryStream.

How to make Visual Studio copy a DLL file to the output directory?

xcopy /y /d  "$(ProjectDir)External\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

You can also refer to a relative path, the next example will find the DLL in a folder located one level above the project folder. If you have multiple projects that use the DLL in a single solution, this places the source of the DLL in a common area reachable when you set any of them as the Startup Project.

xcopy /y /d  "$(ProjectDir)..\External\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

The /y option copies without confirmation. The /d option checks to see if a file exists in the target and if it does only copies if the source has a newer timestamp than the target.

I found that in at least newer versions of Visual Studio, such as VS2109, $(ProjDir) is undefined and had to use $(ProjectDir) instead.

Leaving out a target folder in xcopy should default to the output directory. That is important to understand reason $(OutDir) alone is not helpful.

$(OutDir), at least in recent versions of Visual Studio, is defined as a relative path to the output folder, such as bin/x86/Debug. Using it alone as the target will create a new set of folders starting from the project output folder. Ex: … bin/x86/Debug/bin/x86/Debug.

Combining it with the project folder should get you to the proper place. Ex: $(ProjectDir)$(OutDir).

However $(TargetDir) will provide the output directory in one step.

Angular.js programmatically setting a form field to dirty

A helper function to do the job:

function setDirtyForm(form) {
    angular.forEach(form.$error, function(type) {
        angular.forEach(type, function(field) {
            field.$setDirty();
        });
    });
    return form;
}

How to compare strings in Bash

Using variables in if statements

if [ "$x" = "valid" ]; then
  echo "x has the value 'valid'"
fi

If you want to do something when they don't match, replace = with !=. You can read more about string operations and arithmetic operations in their respective documentation.

Why do we use quotes around $x?

You want the quotes around $x, because if it is empty, your Bash script encounters a syntax error as seen below:

if [ = "valid" ]; then

Non-standard use of == operator

Note that Bash allows == to be used for equality with [, but this is not standard.

Use either the first case wherein the quotes around $x are optional:

if [[ "$x" == "valid" ]]; then

or use the second case:

if [ "$x" = "valid" ]; then

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

Change the location of the ~ directory in a Windows install of Git Bash

So, $HOME is what I need to modify.

However I have been unable to find where this mythical $HOME variable is set so I assumed it was a Linux system version of PATH or something.

Git 2.23 (Q3 2019) is quite explicit on how HOME is set.

See commit e12a955 (04 Jul 2019) by Karsten Blees (kblees).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit fc613d2, 19 Jul 2019)

mingw: initialize HOME on startup

HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places, including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd, and (although slightly broken) in the git-wrapper.

Even unrelated projects such as GitExtensions and TortoiseGit need to implement the same logic to be able to call git directly.

Initialize HOME in Git's own startup code so that we can eventually retire all the duplicate initialization code.

Now, mingw.c includes the following code:

/* calculate HOME if not set */
if (!getenv("HOME")) {
    /*
     * try $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH - the home share may be a network
     * location, thus also check if the path exists (i.e. is not
     * disconnected)
     */
    if ((tmp = getenv("HOMEDRIVE"))) {
        struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
        strbuf_addstr(&buf, tmp);
        if ((tmp = getenv("HOMEPATH"))) {
            strbuf_addstr(&buf, tmp);
            if (is_directory(buf.buf))
                setenv("HOME", buf.buf, 1);
            else
                tmp = NULL; /* use $USERPROFILE */
        }
        strbuf_release(&buf);
    }
    /* use $USERPROFILE if the home share is not available */
    if (!tmp && (tmp = getenv("USERPROFILE")))
        setenv("HOME", tmp, 1);
}

Python: finding an element in a list

The best way is probably to use the list method .index.

For the objects in the list, you can do something like:

def __eq__(self, other):
    return self.Value == other.Value

with any special processing you need.

You can also use a for/in statement with enumerate(arr)

Example of finding the index of an item that has value > 100.

for index, item in enumerate(arr):
    if item > 100:
        return index, item

Simple C example of doing an HTTP POST and consuming the response

After weeks of research. I came up with the following code. I believe this is the bare minimum needed to make a secure connection with SSL to a web server.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
#include <openssl/bio.h>

#define APIKEY "YOUR_API_KEY"
#define HOST "YOUR_WEB_SERVER_URI"
#define PORT "443"

int main() {

    //
    //  Initialize the variables
    //
    BIO* bio;
    SSL* ssl;
    SSL_CTX* ctx;

    //
    //   Registers the SSL/TLS ciphers and digests.
    //
    //   Basically start the security layer.
    //
    SSL_library_init();

    //
    //  Creates a new SSL_CTX object as a framework to establish TLS/SSL
    //  or DTLS enabled connections
    //
    ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method());

    //
    //  -> Error check
    //
    if (ctx == NULL)
    {
        printf("Ctx is null\n");
    }

    //
    //   Creates a new BIO chain consisting of an SSL BIO
    //
    bio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx);

    //
    //  Use the variable from the beginning of the file to create a 
    //  string that contains the URL to the site that you want to connect
    //  to while also specifying the port.
    //
    BIO_set_conn_hostname(bio, HOST ":" PORT);

    //
    //   Attempts to connect the supplied BIO
    //
    if(BIO_do_connect(bio) <= 0)
    {
        printf("Failed connection\n");
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Connected\n");
    }

    //
    //  The bare minimum to make a HTTP request.
    //
    char* write_buf = "POST / HTTP/1.1\r\n"
                      "Host: " HOST "\r\n"
                      "Authorization: Basic " APIKEY "\r\n"
                      "Connection: close\r\n"
                      "\r\n";

    //
    //   Attempts to write len bytes from buf to BIO
    //
    if(BIO_write(bio, write_buf, strlen(write_buf)) <= 0)
    {
        //
        //  Handle failed writes here
        //
        if(!BIO_should_retry(bio))
        {
            // Not worth implementing, but worth knowing.
        }

        //
        //  -> Let us know about the failed writes
        //
        printf("Failed write\n");
    }

    //
    //  Variables used to read the response from the server
    //
    int size;
    char buf[1024];

    //
    //  Read the response message
    //
    for(;;)
    {
        //
        //  Get chunks of the response 1023 at the time.
        //
        size = BIO_read(bio, buf, 1023);

        //
        //  If no more data, then exit the loop
        //
        if(size <= 0)
        {
            break;
        }

        //
        //  Terminate the string with a 0, to let know C when the string 
        //  ends.
        //
        buf[size] = 0;

        //
        //  ->  Print out the response
        //
        printf("%s", buf);
    }

    //
    //  Clean after ourselves
    //
    BIO_free_all(bio);
    SSL_CTX_free(ctx);

    return 0;
}

The code above will explain in details how to establish a TLS connection with a remote server.

Important note: this code doesn't check if the public key was signed by a valid authority. Meaning I don't use root certificates for validation. Don't forget to implement this check otherwise you won't know if you are connecting the right website

When it comes to the request itself. It is nothing more then writing the HTTP request by hand.

You can also find under this link an explanation how to instal openSSL in your system, and how to compile the code so it uses the secure library.

Trying to use Spring Boot REST to Read JSON String from POST

I think the simplest/handy way to consuming JSON is using a Java class that resembles your JSON: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6019761

But if you can't use a Java class you can use one of these two solutions.

Solution 1: you can do it receiving a Map<String, Object> from your controller:

@RequestMapping(
    value = "/process", 
    method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void process(@RequestBody Map<String, Object> payload) 
    throws Exception {

  System.out.println(payload);

}

Using your request:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" \
-X POST -d '{"name":"value"}' http://localhost:8080/myservice/process

Solution 2: otherwise you can get the POST payload as a String:

@RequestMapping(
    value = "/process", 
    method = RequestMethod.POST,
    consumes = "text/plain")
public void process(@RequestBody String payload) throws Exception {

  System.out.println(payload);

}

Then parse the string as you want. Note that must be specified consumes = "text/plain" on your controller. In this case you must change your request with Content-type: text/plain:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: text/plain" -X POST \
-d '{"name":"value"}' http://localhost:8080/myservice/process

How can I find the maximum value and its index in array in MATLAB?

In case of a 2D array (matrix), you can use:

[val, idx] = max(A, [], 2);

The idx part will contain the column number of containing the max element of each row.

How to edit a text file in my terminal

If you are still inside the vi editor, you might be in a different mode from the one you want. Hit ESC a couple of times (until it rings or flashes) and then "i" to enter INSERT mode or "a" to enter APPEND mode (they are the same, just start before or after current character).

If you are back at the command prompt, make sure you can locate the file, then navigate to that directory and perform the mentioned "vi helloWorld.txt". Once you are in the editor, you'll need to check the vi reference to know how to perform the editions you want (you may want to google "vi reference" or "vi cheat sheet").

Once the edition is done, hit ESC again, then type :wq to save your work or :q! to quit without saving.

For quick reference, here you have a text-based cheat sheet.

How to make a smaller RatingBar?

After a lot of research I found the best solution to reduce the size of custom rating bars is to get the size of progress drawable in certain sizes as mentioned below :

xxhdpi - 48*48 px

xhdpi - 36*36 px

hdpi - 24*24 px

And in style put the minheight and maxheight as 16 dp for all Resolution.

Let me know if this doesn't help you to get a best small size rating bars as these sizes I found very compatible and equivalent to ratingbar.small style attribute.

How to check whether a str(variable) is empty or not?

Python strings are immutable and hence have more complex handling when talking about its operations. Note that a string with spaces is actually an empty string but has a non-zero size. Let’s see two different methods of checking if string is empty or not: Method #1 : Using Len() Using Len() is the most generic method to check for zero-length string. Even though it ignores the fact that a string with just spaces also should be practically considered as an empty string even its non-zero.

Method #2 : Using not

Not operator can also perform the task similar to Len(), and checks for 0 length string, but same as the above, it considers the string with just spaces also to be non-empty, which should not practically be true.

Good Luck!

How to solve time out in phpmyadmin?

I was having the issue previously in XAMPP localhost with phpmyadmin version 4.2.11.

Increasing the timeout in php.ini didn't helped either.

Then I edited xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php to change the value of $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'], which was 300 by default.

That solved my issue.

isset() and empty() - what to use

It depends what you are looking for, if you are just looking to see if it is empty just use empty as it checks whether it is set as well, if you want to know whether something is set or not use isset.

Empty checks if the variable is set and if it is it checks it for null, "", 0, etc

Isset just checks if is it set, it could be anything not null

With empty, the following things are considered empty:

  • "" (an empty string)
  • 0 (0 as an integer)
  • 0.0 (0 as a float)
  • "0" (0 as a string)
  • NULL
  • FALSE
  • array() (an empty array)
  • var $var; (a variable declared, but without a value in a class)

From http://php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php


As mentioned in the comments the lack of warning is also important with empty()

PHP Manual says

empty() is the opposite of (boolean) var, except that no warning is generated when the variable is not set.

Regarding isset

PHP Manual says

isset() will return FALSE if testing a variable that has been set to NULL


Your code would be fine as:

<?php
    $var = '23';
    if (!empty($var)){
        echo 'not empty';
    }else{
        echo 'is not set or empty';
    }
?>

For example:

$var = "";

if(empty($var)) // true because "" is considered empty
 {...}
if(isset($var)) //true because var is set 
 {...}

if(empty($otherVar)) //true because $otherVar is null
 {...}
if(isset($otherVar)) //false because $otherVar is not set 
 {...}

At original time of writing to uninstall:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"

Edit: As of 2020 to uninstall:

How can I parse a local JSON file from assets folder into a ListView?

As Faizan describes in their answer here:

First of all read the Json File from your assests file using below code.

and then you can simply read this string return by this function as

public String loadJSONFromAsset() {
    String json = null;
    try {
        InputStream is = getActivity().getAssets().open("yourfilename.json");
        int size = is.available();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
        is.read(buffer);
        is.close();
        json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
    return json;
}

and use this method like that

    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(loadJSONFromAsset());
        JSONArray m_jArry = obj.getJSONArray("formules");
        ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> formList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
        HashMap<String, String> m_li;

        for (int i = 0; i < m_jArry.length(); i++) {
            JSONObject jo_inside = m_jArry.getJSONObject(i);
            Log.d("Details-->", jo_inside.getString("formule"));
            String formula_value = jo_inside.getString("formule");
            String url_value = jo_inside.getString("url");

            //Add your values in your `ArrayList` as below:
            m_li = new HashMap<String, String>();
            m_li.put("formule", formula_value);
            m_li.put("url", url_value);

            formList.add(m_li);
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

creating charts with angularjs

To collect more useful resources here:

As mentioned before D3.js is definitely the best visualization library for charts. To use it in AngularJS I developed angular-chart. It is an easy to use directive which connects D3.js with the AngularJS 2-Way-DataBinding. This way the chart gets automatically updated whenever you change the configuration options and at the same time the charts saves its state (zoom level, ...) to make it available in the AngularJS world.

Check out the examples to get convinced.

C++ code file extension? .cc vs .cpp

It doesn't matter which of those extensions you'd use. Pick whichever you like more, just be consistent with naming. The only exception I'm aware of with this naming convention is that I couldn't make WinDDK (or is it WDK now?) to compile .cc files. On Linux though that's hardly a problem.

Pressed <button> selector

You can do this with php if the button opens a new page.

For example if the button link to a page named pagename.php as, url: www.website.com/pagename.php the button will stay red as long as you stay on that page.

I exploded the url by '/' an got something like:

url[0] = pagename.php

<? $url = explode('/', substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strpos('/',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] )+1,strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))); ?>

Read XML file into XmlDocument

Use XmlDocument.Load() method to load XML from your file. Then use XmlDocument.InnerXml property to get XML string.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("path to your file");
string xmlcontents = doc.InnerXml;

Select row and element in awk

Since awk and perl are closely related...


Perl equivalents of @Dennis's awk solutions:

To print the second line:
perl -ne 'print if $. == 2' file

To print the second field:
perl -lane 'print $F[1]' file

To print the third field of the fifth line:
perl -lane 'print $F[2] if $. == 5' file


Perl equivalent of @Glenn's solution:

Print the j'th field of the i'th line

perl -lanse 'print $F[$j-1] if $. == $i' -- -i=5 -j=3 file


Perl equivalents of @Hai's solutions:

if you are looking for second columns that contains abc:

perl -lane 'print if $F[1] =~ /abc/' foo

... and if you want to print only a particular column:

perl -lane 'print $F[2] if $F[1] =~ /abc/' foo

... and for a particular line number:

perl -lane 'print $F[2] if $F[1] =~ /abc/ && $. == 5' foo


-l removes newlines, and adds them back in when printing
-a autosplits the input line into array @F, using whitespace as the delimiter
-n loop over each line of the input file
-e execute the code within quotes
$F[1] is the second element of the array, since Perl starts at 0
$. is the line number

file path Windows format to java format

String path = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\someDir";
path = path.replaceAll("\\\\", "/");

In Windows you should use four backslash but not two.

Add default value of datetime field in SQL Server to a timestamp

This can also be done through the SSMS GUI.

  1. Put your table in design view (Right click on table in object explorer->Design)
  2. Add a column to the table (or click on the column you want to update if it already exists)
  3. In Column Properties, enter (getdate()) in Default Value or Binding field as pictured below

Code for printf function in C

Here's the GNU version of printf... you can see it passing in stdout to vfprintf:

__printf (const char *format, ...)
{
   va_list arg;
   int done;

   va_start (arg, format);
   done = vfprintf (stdout, format, arg);
   va_end (arg);

   return done;
}

See here.

Here's a link to vfprintf... all the formatting 'magic' happens here.

The only thing that's truly 'different' about these functions is that they use varargs to get at arguments in a variable length argument list. Other than that, they're just traditional C. (This is in contrast to Pascal's printf equivalent, which is implemented with specific support in the compiler... at least it was back in the day.)

Remove files from Git commit

Something that worked for me, but still think there should be a better solution:

$ git revert <commit_id>
$ git reset HEAD~1 --hard

Just leave the change you want to discard in the other commit, check others out

$ git commit --amend // or stash and rebase to <commit_id> to amend changes

How to upgrade glibc from version 2.13 to 2.15 on Debian?

Your script contains errors as well, for example if you have dos2unix installed your install works but if you don't like I did then it will fail with dependency issues.

I found this by accident as I was making a script file of this to give to my friend who is new to Linux and because I made the scripts on windows I directed him to install it, at the time I did not have dos2unix installed thus I got errors.

here is a copy of the script I made for your solution but have dos2unix installed.

#!/bin/sh
echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get -t sid install libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dbg
echo "Please remember to hash out sid main from your sources list. /etc/apt/sources.list"

this script has been tested on 3 machines with no errors.

Disable validation of HTML5 form elements

Instead of trying to do an end run around the browser's validation, you could put the http:// in as placeholder text. This is from the very page you linked:

Placeholder Text

The first improvement HTML5 brings to web forms is the ability to set placeholder text in an input field. Placeholder text is displayed inside the input field as long as the field is empty and not focused. As soon as you click on (or tab to) the input field, the placeholder text disappears.

You’ve probably seen placeholder text before. For example, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 now includes placeholder text in the location bar that reads “Search Bookmarks and History”:

enter image description here

When you click on (or tab to) the location bar, the placeholder text disappears:

enter image description here

Ironically, Firefox 3.5 does not support adding placeholder text to your own web forms. C’est la vie.

Placeholder Support

IE  FIREFOX SAFARI  CHROME  OPERA   IPHONE  ANDROID
·   3.7+    4.0+    4.0+    ·       ·       ·

Here’s how you can include placeholder text in your own web forms:

<form>
  <input name="q" placeholder="Search Bookmarks and History">
  <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

Browsers that don’t support the placeholder attribute will simply ignore it. No harm, no foul. See whether your browser supports placeholder text.

It wouldn't be exactly the same since it wouldn't provide that "starting point" for the user, but it's halfway there at least.

Laravel: Get base url

You can also use URL::to('/') to display image in Laravel. Please see below:

<img src="{{URL::to('/')}}/images/{{ $post->image }}" height="100" weight="100"> 

Assume that, your image is stored under "public/images".

laravel throwing MethodNotAllowedHttpException

I encountered this problem as well and the other answers here were helpful, but I am using a Route::resource which takes care of GET, POST, and other requests.

In my case I left my route as is:

Route::resource('file', 'FilesController');

And simply modified my form to submit to the store function in my FilesController

{{ Form::open(array('route' => 'file.store')) }}

This fixed the issue, and I thought it was worth pointing out as a separate answer since various other answers suggest adding a new POST route. This is an option but it's not necessary.

Copying HTML code in Google Chrome's inspect element

Do the following:

  1. Select the top most element, you want to copy. (To copy all, select <html>)
  2. Right click.
  3. Select Edit as HTML
  4. New sub-window opens up with the HTML text.
  5. This is your chance. Press CTRL+A/CTRL+C and copy the entire text field to a different window.

This is a hacky way, but it's the easiest way to do this.

self.tableView.reloadData() not working in Swift

Beside the obvious reloadData from UI/Main Thread (whatever Apple calls it), in my case, I had forgotten to also update the SECTIONS info. Therefor it did not detect any new sections!

Call another rest api from my server in Spring-Boot

Modern Spring 5+ answer using WebClient instead of RestTemplate.

Configure WebClient for a specific web-service or resource as a bean (additional properties can be configured).

@Bean
public WebClient localApiClient() {
    return WebClient.create("http://localhost:8080/api/v3");
}

Inject and use the bean from your service(s).

@Service
public class UserService {

    private static final Duration REQUEST_TIMEOUT = Duration.ofSeconds(3);

    private final WebClient localApiClient;

    @Autowired
    public UserService(WebClient localApiClient) {
        this.localApiClient = localApiClient;
    }

    public User getUser(long id) {
        return localApiClient
                .get()
                .uri("/users/" + id)
                .retrieve()
                .bodyToMono(User.class)
                .block(REQUEST_TIMEOUT);
    }

}

Get hostname of current request in node.js Express

You can use the os Module:

var os = require("os");
os.hostname();

See http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/os.html#os_os_hostname

Caveats:

  1. if you can work with the IP address -- Machines may have several Network Cards and unless you specify it node will listen on all of them, so you don't know on which NIC the request came in, before it comes in.

  2. Hostname is a DNS matter -- Don't forget that several DNS aliases can point to the same machine.

Parsing JSON from XmlHttpRequest.responseJSON

New ways I: fetch

TL;DR I'd recommend this way as long as you don't have to send synchronous requests or support old browsers.

A long as your request is asynchronous you can use the Fetch API to send HTTP requests. The fetch API works with promises, which is a nice way to handle asynchronous workflows in JavaScript. With this approach you use fetch() to send a request and ResponseBody.json() to parse the response:

fetch(url)
  .then(function(response) {
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(function(jsonResponse) {
    // do something with jsonResponse
  });

Compatibility: The Fetch API is not supported by IE11 as well as Edge 12 & 13. However, there are polyfills.

New ways II: responseType

As Londeren has written in his answer, newer browsers allow you to use the responseType property to define the expected format of the response. The parsed response data can then be accessed via the response property:

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.responseType = 'json';
req.open('GET', url, true);
req.onload  = function() {
   var jsonResponse = req.response;
   // do something with jsonResponse
};
req.send(null);

Compatibility: responseType = 'json' is not supported by IE11.

The classic way

The standard XMLHttpRequest has no responseJSON property, just responseText and responseXML. As long as bitly really responds with some JSON to your request, responseText should contain the JSON code as text, so all you've got to do is to parse it with JSON.parse():

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.overrideMimeType("application/json");
req.open('GET', url, true);
req.onload  = function() {
   var jsonResponse = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
   // do something with jsonResponse
};
req.send(null);

Compatibility: This approach should work with any browser that supports XMLHttpRequest and JSON.

JSONHttpRequest

If you prefer to use responseJSON, but want a more lightweight solution than JQuery, you might want to check out my JSONHttpRequest. It works exactly like a normal XMLHttpRequest, but also provides the responseJSON property. All you have to change in your code would be the first line:

var req = new JSONHttpRequest();

JSONHttpRequest also provides functionality to easily send JavaScript objects as JSON. More details and the code can be found here: http://pixelsvsbytes.com/2011/12/teach-your-xmlhttprequest-some-json/.

Full disclosure: I'm the owner of Pixels|Bytes. I thought that my script was a good solution for the original question, but it is rather outdated today. I do not recommend to use it anymore.

How do I detect if a user is already logged in Firebase?

This works:

async function IsLoggedIn(): Promise<boolean> {
  try {
    await new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
      app.auth().onAuthStateChanged(
        user => {
          if (user) {
            // User is signed in.
            resolve(user)
          } else {
            // No user is signed in.
            reject('no user logged in')
          }
        },
        // Prevent console error
        error => reject(error)
      )
    )
    return true
  } catch (error) {
    return false
  }
}

Deleting elements from std::set while iterating

If you run your program through valgrind, you'll see a bunch of read errors. In other words, yes, the iterators are being invalidated, but you're getting lucky in your example (or really unlucky, as you're not seeing the negative effects of undefined behavior). One solution to this is to create a temporary iterator, increment the temp, delete the target iterator, then set the target to the temp. For example, re-write your loop as follows:

std::set<int>::iterator it = numbers.begin();                               
std::set<int>::iterator tmp;                                                

// iterate through the set and erase all even numbers                       
for ( ; it != numbers.end(); )                                              
{                                                                           
    int n = *it;                                                            
    if (n % 2 == 0)                                                         
    {                                                                       
        tmp = it;                                                           
        ++tmp;                                                              
        numbers.erase(it);                                                  
        it = tmp;                                                           
    }                                                                       
    else                                                                    
    {                                                                       
        ++it;                                                               
    }

How to include header files in GCC search path?

The -I directive does the job:

gcc -Icore -Ianimator -Iimages -Ianother_dir -Iyet_another_dir my_file.c 

Create a folder if it doesn't already exist

As a complement to current solutions, a utility function.

function createDir($path, $mode = 0777, $recursive = true) {
  if(file_exists($path)) return true;
  return mkdir($path, $mode, $recursive);
}

createDir('path/to/directory');

It returns true if already exists or successfully created. Else it returns false.

SQL Server Insert Example

To insert a single row of data:

INSERT INTO USERS
VALUES (1, 'Mike', 'Jones');

To do an insert on specific columns (as opposed to all of them) you must specify the columns you want to update.

INSERT INTO USERS (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME)
VALUES ('Stephen', 'Jiang');

To insert multiple rows of data in SQL Server 2008 or later:

INSERT INTO USERS VALUES
(2, 'Michael', 'Blythe'),
(3, 'Linda', 'Mitchell'),
(4, 'Jillian', 'Carson'),
(5, 'Garrett', 'Vargas');

To insert multiple rows of data in earlier versions of SQL Server, use "UNION ALL" like so:

INSERT INTO USERS (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 'James', 'Bond' UNION ALL
SELECT 'Miss', 'Moneypenny' UNION ALL
SELECT 'Raoul', 'Silva'

Note, the "INTO" keyword is optional in INSERT queries. Source and more advanced querying can be found here.

WPF Add a Border to a TextBlock

A TextBlock does not actually inherit from Control so it does not have properties that you would generally associate with a Control. Your best bet for adding a border in a style is to replace the TextBlock with a Label

See this link for more on the differences between a TextBlock and other Controls

How to calculate difference in hours (decimal) between two dates in SQL Server?

Using Postgres I had issues with DATEDIFF, but had success with this:

  DATE_PART('day',(delivery_time)::timestamp - (placed_time)::timestamp) * 24 + 
  DATE_PART('hour',(delivery_time)::timestamp - (placed_time)::timestamp) +
  DATE_PART('minute',(delivery_time)::timestamp - (placed_time)::timestamp) / 60

which gave me an output like "14.3"

ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher exception

I got this after i copied the svc file and renamed it. Although the file name and the svc.cs file were correctly renamed, the markup still referenced the original file.

To fix this, right click on the copied svc file and choose View Markup and change the service reference.

Creating custom function in React component

Another way:

export default class Archive extends React.Component { 

  saySomething = (something) => {
    console.log(something);
  }

  handleClick = (e) => {
    this.saySomething("element clicked");
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.saySomething("component did mount");
  }

  render() {
    return <button onClick={this.handleClick} value="Click me" />;
  }
}

In this format you don't need to use bind
