Programs & Examples On #Production environment

A production environment is one in that is exposed to its intended audience in a real-world situation.

Change a Rails application to production

rails s -e production

This will run the server with RAILS_ENV = 'production'.

Apart from this you have to set the assets path in production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true

Without this your assets will not be loaded.

How to set up tmux so that it starts up with specified windows opened?

You can write a small shell script that launches tmux with the required programs. I have the following in a shell script that I call dev-tmux. A dev environment:

#!/bin/sh
tmux new-session -d 'vim'
tmux split-window -v 'ipython'
tmux split-window -h
tmux new-window 'mutt'
tmux -2 attach-session -d

So everytime I want to launch my favorite dev environment I can just do

$ dev-tmux

How to search all loaded scripts in Chrome Developer Tools?

Open a new Search pane in Developer Tools by:

  • pressing Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Option+I on mac)
  • clicking the overflow menu (?) in DevTools, DevTools overflow menu
  • clicking the overflow menu in the Console (?) and choosing the Search option

You can search across all your scripts with support for regular expressions and case sensitivity.

Click any match to load that file/section in the scripts panel.

Search all files - results

Make sure 'Search in anonymous and content scripts' is checked in the DevTools Preferences (F1). This will return results from within iframes and HTML inline scripts:

Search in anonymous and content scripts DevTools Settings Preferences

How to get first record in each group using Linq

var result = input.GroupBy(x=>x.F1,(key,g)=>g.OrderBy(e=>e.F2).First());

Shell script to set environment variables

Please show us more parts of the script and tell us what commands you had to individually execute and want to simply.

Meanwhile you have to use double quotes not single quote to expand variables:

export PATH="/home/linux/Practise/linux-devkit/bin/:$PATH"

Semicolons at the end of a single command are also unnecessary.

So far:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Perform Operation in su mode"
export ARCH=arm
echo "Export ARCH=arm Executed"
export PATH="/home/linux/Practise/linux-devkit/bin/:$PATH"
echo "Export path done"
export CROSS_COMPILE='/home/linux/Practise/linux-devkit/bin/arm-arago-linux-gnueabi-' ## What's next to -?
echo "Export CROSS_COMPILE done"
# continue your compilation commands here
...

For su you can run it with:

su -c 'sh /path/to/script.sh'

Note: The OP was not explicitly asking for steps on how to create export variables in an interactive shell using a shell script. He only asked his script to be assessed at most. He didn't mention details on how his script would be used. It could have been by using . or source from the interactive shell. It could have been a standalone scipt, or it could have been source'd from another script. Environment variables are not specific to interactive shells. This answer solved his problem.

What is the HTML unicode character for a "tall" right chevron?

From the description and from the reference to the search box in the Ubuntu site, I gather that you actually want an arrowhead character pointing to the right. There are no Unicode characters designed to be used as arrowheads, but some of them may visually resemble an arrowhead.

In particular, if you draw your idea of the character at Shapecatcher.com, you will find many suggestions, such as “>” RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET' (U+232A) and “?” MEDIUM RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT (U+276D).

Such characters generally have limited support in fonts, so you would need to carefully write a longish font-family list or to use a downloadable font. See my Guide to using special characters in HTML.

Especially if the intended use is as a symbol in a search box, as the reference to the Ubuntu page suggests, it is questionable whether you should use a character at all. It’s not really an element of text here; rather, a graphic symbol that accompanies text but isn’t a part of it. So why take all the trouble with using a character (safely), when it isn’t really a character?

Authorize attribute in ASP.NET MVC

It exists because it is more convenient to use, also it is a whole different ideology using attributes to mark the authorization parameters rather than xml configuration. It wasn't meant to beat general purpose config or any other authorization frameworks, just MVC's way of doing it. I'm saying this, because it seems you are looking for a technical feature advantages which are probably non... just superb convenience.

BobRock already listed the advantages. Just to add to his answer, another scenarios are that you can apply this attribute to whole controller, not just actions, also you can add different role authorization parameters to different actions in same controller to mix and match.

How to Get JSON Array Within JSON Object?

  Gson gson = new Gson();
                Type listType = new TypeToken<List<Data>>() {}.getType();
                List<Data>     cartProductList = gson.fromJson(response.body().get("data"), listType);
                Toast.makeText(getContext(), ""+cartProductList.get(0).getCity(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Forbidden :You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server

You need to follow the following steps:

Find line that read follows

Require ip 127.0.0.1

Replace with your workstation IP address:

Require ip 10.1.3.53

Again find the following line:

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Replace as follows:

Allow from 10.1.3.53

Also find deny from all and comment it in the entire file.

Save and close the file.Restart Apache httpd server:

# service httpd restart

Edit: Since this is the selected answer and gets best visibility ... please also make sure that PHP is installed, otherwise you get same Forbidden error.

Freeze the top row for an html table only (Fixed Table Header Scrolling)

This is called Fixed Header Scrolling. There are a number of documented approaches:

http://www.imaputz.com/cssStuff/bigFourVersion.html

You won't effectively pull this off without JavaScript ... especially if you want cross browser support.

There are a number of gotchyas with any approach you take, especially concerning cross browser/version support.

Edit:

Even if it's not the header you want to fix, but the first row of data, the concept is still the same. I wasn't 100% which you were referring to.

Additional thought I was tasked by my company to research a solution for this that could function in IE7+, Firefox, and Chrome.

After many moons of searching, trying, and frustration it really boiled down to a fundamental problem. For the most part, in order to gain the fixed header, you need to implement fixed height/width columns because most solutions involve using two separate tables, one for the header which will float and stay in place over the second table that contains the data.

//float this one right over second table
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Header 1</th>
    <th>Header 2</th>
  </tr>
</table>

<table>
//Data
</table>

An alternative approach some try is utilize the tbody and thead tags but that is flawed too because IE will not allow you put a scrollbar on the tbody which means you can't limit its height (so stupid IMO).

<table>
  <thead style="do some stuff to fix its position">
  <tr>
    <th>Header 1</th>
    <th>Header 2</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody style="No scrolling allowed here!">
     Data here
  </tbody>
</table>

This approach has many issues such as ensures EXACT pixel widths because tables are so cute in that different browsers will allocate pixels differently based on calculations and you simply CANNOT (AFAIK) guarantee that the distribution will be perfect in all cases. It becomes glaringly obvious if you have borders within your table.

I took a different approach and said screw tables since you can't make this guarantee. I used divs to mimic tables. This also has issues of positioning the rows and columns (mainly because floating has issues, using in-line block won't work for IE7, so it really left me with using absolute positioning to put them in their proper places).

There is someone out there that made the Slick Grid which has a very similar approach to mine and you can use and a good (albeit complex) example for achieving this.

WAMP Cannot access on local network 403 Forbidden

For Apache 2.4.9

in addition, look at the httpd-vhosts.conf file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Change to:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

changing from "Require local" to "Require all granted" solved the error 403 in my local network

How do I test axios in Jest?

I could do that following the steps:

  1. Create a folder __mocks__/ (as pointed by @Januartha comment)
  2. Implement an axios.js mock file
  3. Use my implemented module on test

The mock will happen automatically

Example of the mock module:

module.exports = {
    get: jest.fn((url) => {
        if (url === '/something') {
            return Promise.resolve({
                data: 'data'
            });
        }
    }),
    post: jest.fn((url) => {
        if (url === '/something') {
            return Promise.resolve({
                data: 'data'
            });
        }
        if (url === '/something2') {
            return Promise.resolve({
                data: 'data2'
            });
        }
    }),
    create: jest.fn(function () {
        return this;
    })
};

Sending emails through SMTP with PHPMailer

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
SMTP -> ERROR: EHLO not accepted from server:

that's typical of trying to connect to a SSL service with a client that's not using SSL

SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

no suprise there having failed to start an SMTP conversation authentigation is not an option,.

phpmailer doesn't do implicit SSL (aka TLS on connect, SMTPS) Short of rewriting smtp.class.php to include support for it there it no way to do what you ask.

Use port 587 with explicit SSL (aka TLS, STARTTLS) instead.

Kubernetes how to make Deployment to update image

Another option which is more suitable for debugging but worth mentioning is to check in revision history of your rollout:

$ kubectl rollout history deployment my-dep
deployment.apps/my-dep
 
REVISION  CHANGE-CAUSE
1         <none>
2         <none>
3         <none>

To see the details of each revision, run:

 kubectl rollout history deployment my-dep --revision=2

And then returning to the previous revision by running:

 $kubectl rollout undo deployment my-dep --to-revision=2

And then returning back to the new one.
Like running ctrl+z -> ctrl+y (:

(*) The CHANGE-CAUSE is <none> because you should run the updates with the --record flag - like mentioned here:

kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.16.1 --record

(**) There is a discussion regarding deprecating this flag.

How can I get a web site's favicon?

This is a late answer, but for completeness: it is difficult to get even close to fetching 90% all favicons.

A while ago I wrote a WordPress plugin which attempts to get closer to 100%.

This is how it works:

  1. It starts by searching existing favicon repositories such as Google favicons and GetFavicons for the favicon.

  2. If none of them returns an icon, the plugin attempts to get the icon itself. This involves traversing several pages on the domain.

  3. The plugin then inspects the physical image file, because on some servers files get returned with the incorrect mime types.

The code is still not perfect because in the details you will find many weird situations: people have wrongly coded paths, e.g. img/favicon.ico where img is not in the root, duplicate headers in HTML output, different server responses from the head and body etc.

The core of the fetching part is here so you can reverse-engineer it, but be aware that validating the response should be done (checking image filetype, mime etc.).

How to use variables in a command in sed?

Say:

sed "s|\$ROOT|${HOME}|" abc.sh

Note:

  • Use double quotes so that the shell would expand variables.
  • Use a separator different than / since the replacement contains /
  • Escape the $ in the pattern since you don't want to expand it.

EDIT: In order to replace all occurrences of $ROOT, say

sed "s|\$ROOT|${HOME}|g" abc.sh

Find a value anywhere in a database

Another way using JOIN and CURSOR:

USE My_Database;

-- Store results in a local temp table so that.  I'm using a
-- local temp table so that I can access it in SP_EXECUTESQL.
create table #tmp (
    tbl nvarchar(max),
    col nvarchar(max),
    val nvarchar(max)   
);

declare @tbl nvarchar(max);
declare @col nvarchar(max);
declare @q nvarchar(max);
declare @search nvarchar(max) = 'my search key';

-- Create a cursor on all columns in the database
declare c cursor for
SELECT tbls.TABLE_NAME, cols.COLUMN_NAME  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS tbls
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS cols
ON tbls.TABLE_NAME = cols.TABLE_NAME

-- For each table and column pair, see if the search value exists.
open c
fetch next from c into @tbl, @col
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
    -- Look for the search key in current table column and if found add it to the results.
    SET @q = 'INSERT INTO #tmp SELECT ''' + @tbl + ''', ''' + @col + ''', ' + @col + ' FROM ' + @tbl + ' WHERE ' + @col + ' LIKE ''%' + @search + '%'''
    EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @q
    fetch next from c into @tbl, @col
end
close c
deallocate c

-- Get results
select * from #tmp

-- Remove local temp table.
drop table #tmp

Wait for shell command to complete

what you proposed with a change at the parenthesis at the Run command worked fine with VBA for me

Dim wsh As Object
Set wsh = VBA.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim waitOnReturn As Boolean: waitOnReturn = True
Dim windowStyle As Integer: windowStyle = 1
Dim errorCode As Integer
wsh.Run "C:\folder\runbat.bat", windowStyle, waitOnReturn

Search for executable files using find command

How to select id with max date group by category in PostgreSQL?

Another approach is to use the first_value window function: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!12/7a145/14

SELECT DISTINCT
  first_value("id") OVER (PARTITION BY "category" ORDER BY "date" DESC) 
FROM Table1
ORDER BY 1;

... though I suspect hims056's suggestion will typically perform better where appropriate indexes are present.

A third solution is:

SELECT
  id
FROM (
  SELECT
    id,
    row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY "category" ORDER BY "date" DESC) AS rownum
  FROM Table1
) x
WHERE rownum = 1;

How do I check for a network connection?

You can check for a network connection in .NET 2.0 using GetIsNetworkAvailable():

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()

To monitor changes in IP address or changes in network availability use the events from the NetworkChange class:

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkChange.NetworkAvailabilityChanged
System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkChange.NetworkAddressChanged

Is there a way to iterate over a range of integers?

angular.service vs angular.factory

All the answers here seem to be around service and factory, and that's valid since that was what was being asked about. But it's also important to keep in mind that there are several others including provider(), value(), and constant().

The key to remember is that each one is a special case of the other. Each special case down the chain allowing you to do the same thing with less code. Each one also having some additional limitation.

To decide when to use which you just see which one allows you to do what you want in less code. Here is an image illustrating just how similar they are:

enter image description here

For a complete step by step breakdown and quick reference of when to use each you can visit the blog post where I got this image from:

unable to set private key file: './cert.pem' type PEM

Im not sure If this will help anyone but I was getting this error (although I was using php to create it instead of the command line) and to fix it I had to ensure that no old .key or .pem files were in the directory I was looking at. By deleting them and making fresh files with the authentication it worked perfectly!

this is error ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified?

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified?

In case the TNS is not defined you can also try this one:

If you are using C#.net 2010 or other version of VS and oracle 10g express edition or lower version, and you make a connection string like this:

static string constr = @"Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=yourhostname )(PORT=1521)))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=XE)));
    User Id=system ;Password=yourpasswrd"; 

After that you get error message ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified then first you have to do restart your system and run your project.

And if Your windows is 64 bit then you need to install oracle 11g 32 bit and if you installed 11g 64 bit then you need to Install Oracle 11g Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio version 11.2.0.1.2 or later from OTN and check it in Oracle Universal Installer Please be sure that the following are checked:

Oracle Data Provider for .NET 2.0

Oracle Providers for ASP.NET

Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

Oracle Instant Client 

And then restart your Visual Studio and then run your project .... NOTE:- SYSTEM RESTART IS necessary TO SOLVE THIS TYPES OF ERROR.......

Maintain the aspect ratio of a div with CSS

Elliot inspired me to this solution - thanks:

aspectratio.png is a completely transparent PNG-file with the size of your preferred aspect-ratio, in my case 30x10 pixels.

HTML

<div class="eyecatcher">
  <img src="/img/aspectratio.png"/>
</div>

CSS3

.eyecatcher img {
  width: 100%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 100% 100%;
  background-image: url(../img/autoresized-picture.jpg);
}

Please note: background-size is a css3-feature which might not work with your target-browsers. You may check interoperability (f.e. on caniuse.com).

Set up git to pull and push all branches

Including the + in the push spec is probably a bad idea, as it means that git will happily do a non-fast-forward push even without -f, and if the remote server is set up to accept those, you can lose history.

Try just this:

$ git config --add remote.origin.push 'refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*'
$ git config --add remote.origin.push 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
$ git config --add remote.origin.fetch 'refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
$ git config --add remote.origin.fetch 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

Create Setup/MSI installer in Visual Studio 2017

Other answers posted here for this question did not work for me using the latest Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition (as of 2018-09-18).

Instead, I used this method:

  1. Close all but one instance of Visual Studio.
  2. In the running instance, access the menu Tools->Extensions and Updates.
  3. In that dialog, choose Online->Visual Studio Marketplace->Tools->Setup & Deployment.
  4. From the list that appears, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Installer Projects.

Once installed, close and restart Visual Studio. Go to File->New Project and search for the word Installer. You'll know you have the correct templates installed if you see a list that looks something like this:

How to track down a "double free or corruption" error

Three basic rules:

  1. Set pointer to NULL after free
  2. Check for NULL before freeing.
  3. Initialise pointer to NULL in the start.

Combination of these three works quite well.

'typeid' versus 'typeof' in C++

You can use Boost demangle to accomplish a nice looking name:

#include <boost/units/detail/utility.hpp>

and something like

To_main_msg_evt ev("Failed to initialize cards in " + boost::units::detail::demangle(typeid(*_IO_card.get()).name()) + ".\n", true, this);

When to use references vs. pointers

Like others already answered: Always use references, unless the variable being NULL/nullptr is really a valid state.

John Carmack's viewpoint on the subject is similar:

NULL pointers are the biggest problem in C/C++, at least in our code. The dual use of a single value as both a flag and an address causes an incredible number of fatal issues. C++ references should be favored over pointers whenever possible; while a reference is “really” just a pointer, it has the implicit contract of being not-NULL. Perform NULL checks when pointers are turned into references, then you can ignore the issue thereafter.

http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2011/12/24/static-code-analysis/

Edit 2012-03-13

User Bret Kuhns rightly remarks:

The C++11 standard has been finalized. I think it's time in this thread to mention that most code should do perfectly fine with a combination of references, shared_ptr, and unique_ptr.

True enough, but the question still remains, even when replacing raw pointers with smart pointers.

For example, both std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr can be constructed as "empty" pointers through their default constructor:

... meaning that using them without verifying they are not empty risks a crash, which is exactly what J. Carmack's discussion is all about.

And then, we have the amusing problem of "how do we pass a smart pointer as a function parameter?"

Jon's answer for the question C++ - passing references to boost::shared_ptr, and the following comments show that even then, passing a smart pointer by copy or by reference is not as clear cut as one would like (I favor myself the "by-reference" by default, but I could be wrong).

How do I fix "The expression of type List needs unchecked conversion...'?

Since getEntries returns a raw List, it could hold anything.

The warning-free approach is to create a new List<SyndEntry>, then cast each element of the sf.getEntries() result to SyndEntry before adding it to your new list. Collections.checkedList does not do this checking for you—although it would have been possible to implement it to do so.

By doing your own cast up front, you're "complying with the warranty terms" of Java generics: if a ClassCastException is raised, it will be associated with a cast in the source code, not an invisible cast inserted by the compiler.

jQuery or JavaScript auto click

In jQuery you can trigger a click like this:

$('#foo').trigger('click');

Convert string to integer type in Go?

For example,

package main

import (
    "flag"
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "strconv"
)

func main() {
    flag.Parse()
    s := flag.Arg(0)
    // string to int
    i, err := strconv.Atoi(s)
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(2)
    }
    fmt.Println(s, i)
}

How to encode a URL in Swift

URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet should not be used for URL encoding of query parameters because this charset includes &, ?, / etc. which serve as delimiters in a URL query, e.g.

/?paramname=paramvalue&paramname=paramvalue

These characters are allowed in URL queries as a whole but not in parameter values.

RFC 3986 specifically talks about unreserved characters, which are different from allowed:

2.3. Unreserved Characters

Characters that are allowed in a URI but do not have a reserved
purpose are called unreserved. These include uppercase and lowercase letters, decimal digits, hyphen, period, underscore, and tilde.

  unreserved  = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"

Accordingly:

extension String {
    var URLEncoded:String {
        var URLEncoded:String {
    let unreservedChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-._~"
    let unreservedCharsSet: CharacterSet = CharacterSet(charactersIn: unreservedChars)
    let encodedString = self.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: unreservedCharsSet)!
    return encodedString
}
    }
}

The code above doesn't make a call to alphanumericCharacterSet because of the enormous size of the charset it returns (103806 characters). And in view of how many Unicode characters alphanumericCharacterSet allows for, using it for the purpose of URL encoding would be simply erroneous.

Usage:

let URLEncodedString = myString.URLEncoded

How to make a class property?

Here's how I would do this:

class ClassPropertyDescriptor(object):

    def __init__(self, fget, fset=None):
        self.fget = fget
        self.fset = fset

    def __get__(self, obj, klass=None):
        if klass is None:
            klass = type(obj)
        return self.fget.__get__(obj, klass)()

    def __set__(self, obj, value):
        if not self.fset:
            raise AttributeError("can't set attribute")
        type_ = type(obj)
        return self.fset.__get__(obj, type_)(value)

    def setter(self, func):
        if not isinstance(func, (classmethod, staticmethod)):
            func = classmethod(func)
        self.fset = func
        return self

def classproperty(func):
    if not isinstance(func, (classmethod, staticmethod)):
        func = classmethod(func)

    return ClassPropertyDescriptor(func)


class Bar(object):

    _bar = 1

    @classproperty
    def bar(cls):
        return cls._bar

    @bar.setter
    def bar(cls, value):
        cls._bar = value


# test instance instantiation
foo = Bar()
assert foo.bar == 1

baz = Bar()
assert baz.bar == 1

# test static variable
baz.bar = 5
assert foo.bar == 5

# test setting variable on the class
Bar.bar = 50
assert baz.bar == 50
assert foo.bar == 50

The setter didn't work at the time we call Bar.bar, because we are calling TypeOfBar.bar.__set__, which is not Bar.bar.__set__.

Adding a metaclass definition solves this:

class ClassPropertyMetaClass(type):
    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if key in self.__dict__:
            obj = self.__dict__.get(key)
        if obj and type(obj) is ClassPropertyDescriptor:
            return obj.__set__(self, value)

        return super(ClassPropertyMetaClass, self).__setattr__(key, value)

# and update class define:
#     class Bar(object):
#        __metaclass__ = ClassPropertyMetaClass
#        _bar = 1

# and update ClassPropertyDescriptor.__set__
#    def __set__(self, obj, value):
#       if not self.fset:
#           raise AttributeError("can't set attribute")
#       if inspect.isclass(obj):
#           type_ = obj
#           obj = None
#       else:
#           type_ = type(obj)
#       return self.fset.__get__(obj, type_)(value)

Now all will be fine.

Parse HTML table to Python list?

Sven Marnach excellent solution is directly translatable into ElementTree which is part of recent Python distributions:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

s = """<table>
  <tr><th>Event</th><th>Start Date</th><th>End Date</th></tr>
  <tr><td>a</td><td>b</td><td>c</td></tr>
  <tr><td>d</td><td>e</td><td>f</td></tr>
  <tr><td>g</td><td>h</td><td>i</td></tr>
</table>
"""

table = ET.XML(s)
rows = iter(table)
headers = [col.text for col in next(rows)]
for row in rows:
    values = [col.text for col in row]
    print(dict(zip(headers, values)))

same output as Sven Marnach's answer...

MySQL search and replace some text in a field

I used the above command line as follow: update TABLE-NAME set FIELD = replace(FIELD, 'And', 'and'); the purpose was to replace And with and ("A" should be lowercase). The problem is it cannot find the "And" in database, but if I use like "%And%" then it can find it along with many other ands that are part of a word or even the ones that are already lowercase.

Why calling react setState method doesn't mutate the state immediately?

From React's documentation:

setState() does not immediately mutate this.state but creates a pending state transition. Accessing this.state after calling this method can potentially return the existing value. There is no guarantee of synchronous operation of calls to setState and calls may be batched for performance gains.

If you want a function to be executed after the state change occurs, pass it in as a callback.

this.setState({value: event.target.value}, function () {
    console.log(this.state.value);
});

lambda expression for exists within list

var query = list.Where(r => listofIds.Any(id => id == r.Id));

Another approach, useful if the listOfIds array is large:

HashSet<int> hash = new HashSet<int>(listofIds);
var query = list.Where(r => hash.Contains(r.Id));

How do I get values from a SQL database into textboxes using C#?

Make a connection and open it.

con = new OracleConnection("Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<database_name>)));User Id =<userid>; Password =<password>");
con.Open();

Write the select query:

string sql = "select * from Pending_Tasks";

Create a command object:

OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, con);

Execute the command and put the result in a object to read it.

OracleDataReader r = cmd.ExecuteReader();

now start reading from it.

while (read.Read())
{
 CustID.Text = (read["Customer_ID"].ToString());
 CustName.Text = (read["Customer_Name"].ToString());
 Add1.Text = (read["Address_1"].ToString());
 Add2.Text = (read["Address_2"].ToString());
 PostBox.Text = (read["Postcode"].ToString());
 PassBox.Text = (read["Password"].ToString());
 DatBox.Text = (read["Data_Important"].ToString());
 LanNumb.Text = (read["Landline"].ToString());
 MobNumber.Text = (read["Mobile"].ToString());
 FaultRep.Text = (read["Fault_Report"].ToString());
}
read.Close();

Add this too using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client;

What is the size of column of int(11) in mysql in bytes?

As others have said, the minumum/maximum values the column can store and how much storage it takes in bytes is only defined by the type, not the length.

A lot of these answers are saying that the (11) part only affects the display width which isn't exactly true, but mostly.

A definition of int(2) with no zerofill specified will:

  • still accept a value of 100
  • still display a value of 100 when output (not 0 or 00)
  • the display width will be the width of the largest value being output from the select query.

The only thing the (2) will do is if zerofill is also specified:

  • a value of 1 will be shown 01.
  • When displaying values, the column will always have a width of the maximum possible value the column could take which is 10 digits for an integer, instead of the miniumum width required to display the largest value that column needs to show for in that specific select query, which could be much smaller.
  • The column can still take, and show a value exceeding the length, but these values will not be prefixed with 0s.

The best way to see all the nuances is to run:

CREATE TABLE `mytable` (
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `int1` int(10) NOT NULL,
    `int2` int(3) NOT NULL,
    `zf1` int(10) ZEROFILL NOT NULL,
    `zf2` int(3) ZEROFILL NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `mytable` 
(`int1`, `int2`, `zf1`, `zf2`) 
VALUES
(10000, 10000, 10000, 10000),
(100, 100, 100, 100);

select * from mytable;

which will output:

+----+-------+-------+------------+-------+
| id | int1  | int2  | zf1        | zf2   |
+----+-------+-------+------------+-------+
|  1 | 10000 | 10000 | 0000010000 | 10000 |
|  2 |   100 |   100 | 0000000100 |   100 |
+----+-------+-------+------------+-------+

Do fragments really need an empty constructor?

As noted by CommonsWare in this question https://stackoverflow.com/a/16064418/1319061, this error can also occur if you are creating an anonymous subclass of a Fragment, since anonymous classes cannot have constructors.

Don't make anonymous subclasses of Fragment :-)

Failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

CONNECTION_REFUSED is standard when the port is closed, but it could be rejected because SSL is failing authentication (one of a billion reasons). Did you configure SSL with Ratchet? (Apache is bypassed) Did you try without SSL in JavaScript?

I don't think Ratchet has built-in support for SSL. But even if it does you'll want to try the ws:// protocol first; it's a lot simpler, easier to debug, and closer to telnet. Chrome or the socket service may also be generating the REFUSED error if the service doesn't support SSL (because you explicitly requested SSL).

However the refused message is likely a server side problem, (usually port closed).

Check if an element is present in an array

Code:

function isInArray(value, array) {
  return array.indexOf(value) > -1;
}

Execution:

isInArray(1, [1,2,3]); // true

Update (2017):

In modern browsers which follow the ECMAScript 2016 (ES7) standard, you can use the function Array.prototype.includes, which makes it way more easier to check if an item is present in an array:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const array = [1, 2, 3];_x000D_
const value = 1;_x000D_
const isInArray = array.includes(value);_x000D_
console.log(isInArray); // true
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to force a hover state with jQuery?

You will have to use a class, but don't worry, it's pretty simple. First we'll assign your :hover rules to not only apply to physically-hovered links, but also to links that have the classname hovered.

a:hover, a.hovered { color: #ccff00; }

Next, when you click #btn, we'll toggle the .hovered class on the #link.

$("#btn").click(function() {
   $("#link").toggleClass("hovered");
});

If the link has the class already, it will be removed. If it doesn't have the class, it will be added.

How to set an button align-right with Bootstrap?

UPDATE: For Bootstrap 5

The class name is now "float-end" instead of "pull-right"

<div class="alert alert-info clearfix">
    <a href="#" class="alert-link">
      Summary:Its some description.......testtesttest
    </a> 
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg float-end">
      Large button
    </button>
</div>

For Bootstrap 4 and under

Just add a simple pull-right class to the button, and make sure the container div is clearfixed:

<div class="alert alert-info clearfix">
    <a href="#" class="alert-link">
      Summary:Its some description.......testtesttest
    </a> 
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg pull-right">

Which way is best for creating an object in JavaScript? Is `var` necessary before an object property?

I guess it depends on what you want. For simple objects, I guess you could use the second methods. When your objects grow larger and you're planning on using similar objects, I guess the first method would be better. That way you can also extend it using prototypes.

Example:

function Circle(radius) {
    this.radius = radius;
}
Circle.prototype.getCircumference = function() {
    return Math.PI * 2 * this.radius;
};
Circle.prototype.getArea = function() {
    return Math.PI * this.radius * this.radius;
}

I am not a big fan of the third method, but it's really useful for dynamically editing properties, for example var foo='bar'; var bar = someObject[foo];.

Finding what branch a Git commit came from

For example, to find that c0118fa commit came from redesign_interactions:

* ccfd449 (HEAD -> develop) Require to return undef if no digits found
*   93dd5ff Merge pull request #4 from KES777/clean_api
|\
| * 39d82d1 Fix tc0118faests for debugging debugger internals
| * ed67179 Move &push_frame out of core
| * 2fd84b5 Do not lose info about call point
| * 3ab09a2 Improve debugger output: Show info about emitted events
| *   a435005 Merge branch 'redesign_interactions' into clean_api
| |\
| | * a06cc29 Code comments
| | * d5d6266 Remove copy/paste code
| | * c0118fa Allow command to choose how continue interaction
| | * 19cb534 Emit &interact event

You should run:

git log c0118fa..HEAD --ancestry-path --merges

And scroll down to find last merge commit. Which is:

commit a435005445a6752dfe788b8d994e155b3cd9778f
Merge: 0953cac a06cc29
Author: Eugen Konkov

How to click a href link using Selenium

To click() on the element with text as App Configuration you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • linkText:

    driver.findElement(By.linkText("App Configuration")).click();
    
  • cssSelector:

    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href='/docs/configuration']")).click();
    
  • xpath:

    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='/docs/configuration' and text()='App Configuration']")).click();
    

Ideally, to click() on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • linkText:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("App Configuration"))).click();
    
  • cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("a[href='/docs/configuration']"))).click();
    
  • xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[@href='/docs/configuration' and text()='App Configuration']"))).click();

Should CSS always preceed Javascript?

Were your tests performed on your personal computer, or on a web server? It is a blank page, or is it a complex online system with images, databases, etc.? Are your scripts performing a simple hover event action, or are they a core component to how your website renders and interacts with the user? There are several things to consider here, and the relevance of these recommendations almost always become rules when you venture into high-caliber web development.

The purpose of the "put stylesheets at the top and scripts at the bottom" rule is that, in general, it's the best way to achieve optimal progressive rendering, which is critical to the user experience.

All else aside: assuming your test is valid, and you really are producing results contrary to the popular rules, it'd come as no surprise, really. Every website (and everything it takes to make the whole thing appear on a user's screen) is different and the Internet is constantly evolving.

What is the difference between an Instance and an Object?

Regarding the difference between an object and an instance, I do not think there is any consensus.

It looks to me like people change it pretty much interchangeably, in papers, blog posts, books or conversations.

As for me, the way I see it is, an object is a generic and alive entity in the memory, specified by the language it is used in. Just like the Object class in Java. We do not much care its type, or anything else associated with it, whether it is managed by a container or not.

An instance is an object but associated with a type, as in this method accepts Foo instances, or you can not put Animal instances in an instance of a List of Vehicles.

objects for example have locks associated with them, not instances, whereas instances have methods. objects are garbage collected, not instances.

But as I said, this is only how I see it, and I do not think there is any organisation we can refer to for a standard definition between them and everyone will pretty much have their slightly different understanding / definitions (of course within limits).

How to solve time out in phpmyadmin?

I had the same issue and I used command line in order to import the SQL file. This method has 3 advantages:

  1. It is a very easy way by running only 1 command line
  2. It runs way faster
  3. It does not have limitation

If you want to do this just follow this 3 steps:

  1. Navigate to this path (i use wamp):

    C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin>

  2. Copy your sql file inside this path (ex file.sql)

  3. Run this command:

    mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql

Note: if you already have your msql enviroment variable path set, you don't need to move your file.sql in the bin directory and you should only navigate to the path of the file.

How do you specify a byte literal in Java?

With Java 7 and later version, you can specify a byte literal in this way: byte aByte = (byte)0b00100001;

How do I find an element position in std::vector?

First of all, do you really need to store indices like this? Have you looked into std::map, enabling you to store key => value pairs?

Secondly, if you used iterators instead, you would be able to return std::vector.end() to indicate an invalid result. To convert an iterator to an index you simply use

size_t i = it - myvector.begin();

Logical XOR operator in C++?

Proper manual logical XOR implementation depends on how closely you want to mimic the general behavior of other logical operators (|| and &&) with your XOR. There are two important things about these operators: 1) they guarantee short-circuit evaluation, 2) they introduce a sequence point, 3) they evaluate their operands only once.

XOR evaluation, as you understand, cannot be short-circuited since the result always depends on both operands. So 1 is out of question. But what about 2? If you don't care about 2, then with normalized (i.e. bool) values operator != does the job of XOR in terms of the result. And the operands can be easily normalized with unary !, if necessary. Thus !A != !B implements the proper XOR in that regard.

But if you care about the extra sequence point though, neither != nor bitwise ^ is the proper way to implement XOR. One possible way to do XOR(a, b) correctly might look as follows

a ? !b : b

This is actually as close as you can get to making a homemade XOR "similar" to || and &&. This will only work, of course, if you implement your XOR as a macro. A function won't do, since the sequencing will not apply to function's arguments.

Someone might say though, that the only reason of having a sequence point at each && and || is to support the short-circuited evaluation, and thus XOR does not need one. This makes sense, actually. Yet, it is worth considering having a XOR with a sequence point in the middle. For example, the following expression

++x > 1 && x < 5

has defined behavior and specificed result in C/C++ (with regard to sequencing at least). So, one might reasonably expect the same from user-defined logical XOR, as in

XOR(++x > 1, x < 5)

while a !=-based XOR doesn't have this property.

How can I pass POST parameters in a URL?

I would like to share my implementation as well. It does require some JavaScript code though.

<form action="./index.php" id="homePage" method="post" style="display: none;">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="homePage" />
</form>

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="javascript:
document.getElementById('homePage').submit()">Home</a>

The nice thing about this is that, contrary to GET requests, it doesn't show the parameters in the URL, which is safer.

Adjust UILabel height depending on the text

UILabel *itemTitle = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f, 10,100, 200.0f)];
itemTitle.text = @"aseruy56uiytitfesh";
itemTitle.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
itemTitle.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
itemTitle.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18.0];
itemTitle.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
itemTitle.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
itemTitle.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
itemTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
itemTitle.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
itemTitle.numberOfLines = 0;
[itemTitle sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:itemTitle];

use this here all the properties are used on the label and test it by increasing the text in the itemTitle.text as

itemTitle.text = @"diofgorigjveghnhkvjteinughntivugenvitugnvkejrfgnvkhv";

it will show the perfetc answer as you need

The .htaccess is either in the root-directory of your webpage or in the directory you want to protect.

Make sure to make them visible in your filesystem, because AFAIK (I'm no unix expert either) files starting with a period are invisible by default on unix-systems.

How can I store JavaScript variable output into a PHP variable?

If this is related to a form submission, use a hidden inputinside the form and change the hidden input value to this variable value. Then you can get that hidden input value in the php page and assign it to your php variable after form submission.

Update:

According to your edit, it seems you don't understand how javascript and php works. Javascript is a client side language, and php is a serverside language. Therefore you cannot execute javascript logic and use that variable value to a php variable when you execute relevant page in the server. You can run the relevant javascript logic after client browser process the web page returned from the web server (which has already executed the php code for the relevant page). After the execution of the javascript code and after assigning the relevant value to the relevant javascript variable, you can use form submission or ajax to send that javascript variable value to use by another php page (or a request to process and get the same php page).

Converting Milliseconds to Minutes and Seconds?

To convert time in millis directly to minutes: second format you can use this

String durationText = DateUtils.formatElapsedTime(timeInMillis / 1000));

This will return a string with time in proper formatting. It worked for me.

Cleaning `Inf` values from an R dataframe

Option 1

Use the fact that a data.frame is a list of columns, then use do.call to recreate a data.frame.

do.call(data.frame,lapply(DT, function(x) replace(x, is.infinite(x),NA)))

Option 2 -- data.table

You could use data.table and set. This avoids some internal copying.

DT <- data.table(dat)
invisible(lapply(names(DT),function(.name) set(DT, which(is.infinite(DT[[.name]])), j = .name,value =NA)))

Or using column numbers (possibly faster if there are a lot of columns):

for (j in 1:ncol(DT)) set(DT, which(is.infinite(DT[[j]])), j, NA)

Timings

# some `big(ish)` data
dat <- data.frame(a = rep(c(1,Inf), 1e6), b = rep(c(Inf,2), 1e6), 
                  c = rep(c('a','b'),1e6),d = rep(c(1,Inf), 1e6),  
                  e = rep(c(Inf,2), 1e6))
# create data.table
library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(dat)

# replace (@mnel)
system.time(na_dat <- do.call(data.frame,lapply(dat, function(x) replace(x, is.infinite(x),NA))))
## user  system elapsed 
#  0.52    0.01    0.53 

# is.na (@dwin)
system.time(is.na(dat) <- sapply(dat, is.infinite))
# user  system elapsed 
# 32.96    0.07   33.12 

# modified is.na
system.time(is.na(dat) <- do.call(cbind,lapply(dat, is.infinite)))
#  user  system elapsed 
# 1.22    0.38    1.60 


# data.table (@mnel)
system.time(invisible(lapply(names(DT),function(.name) set(DT, which(is.infinite(DT[[.name]])), j = .name,value =NA))))
# user  system elapsed 
# 0.29    0.02    0.31 

data.table is the quickest. Using sapply slows things down noticeably.

Sending mail from Python using SMTP

you can do like that

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header


server = smtplib.SMTP('mail.servername.com', 25)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()

server.login('username', 'password')
from = '[email protected]'
to = '[email protected]'
body = 'That A Message For My Girl Friend For tell Him If We will go to eat Something This Nigth'
subject = 'Invite to A Diner'
msg = MIMEText(body,'plain','utf-8')
msg['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'utf-8')
msg['From'] = Header(from, 'utf-8')
msg['To'] = Header(to, 'utf-8')
message = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(from, to, message)

How to check if activity is in foreground or in visible background?

If you want to know if any activity of your app is visible on the screen, you can do something like this:

public class MyAppActivityCallbacks implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
private Set<Class<Activity>> visibleActivities = new HashSet<>();

@Override
public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {
    visibleActivities.add((Class<Activity>) activity.getClass());
}

@Override
public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
     visibleActivities.remove(activity.getClass());
}

public boolean isAnyActivityVisible() {
    return !visibleActivities.isEmpty();
}

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {}

@Override
public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {}

@Override
public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {}

@Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {}

@Override
public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {}}

Just create a singleton of this class and set it in your Application instance like below:

class App extends Application{
     @Override
     public void onCreate() {
         registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(myAppActivityCallbacks);
     }
}

Then you can use isAnyActivityVisible() method of your MyAppActivityCallbacks instance everywhere!

How to split a comma separated string and process in a loop using JavaScript

My two cents, adding trim to remove the initial whitespaces left in sAc's answer.

var str = 'Hello, World, etc';
var str_array = str.split(',');

for(var i = 0; i < str_array.length; i++) {
   // Trim the excess whitespace.
   str_array[i] = str_array[i].replace(/^\s*/, "").replace(/\s*$/, "");
   // Add additional code here, such as:
   alert(str_array[i]);
}

Edit:

After getting several upvotes on this answer, I wanted to revisit this. If you want to split on comma, and perform a trim operation, you can do it in one method call without any explicit loops due to the fact that split will also take a regular expression as an argument:

'Hello, cruel , world!'.split(/\s*,\s*/);
//-> ["Hello", "cruel", "world!"]

This solution, however, will not trim the beginning of the first item and the end of the last item which is typically not an issue.

And so to answer the question in regards to process in a loop, if your target browsers support ES5 array extras such as the map or forEach methods, then you could just simply do the following:

myStringWithCommas.split(/\s*,\s*/).forEach(function(myString) {
    console.log(myString);
});

How to Run a jQuery or JavaScript Before Page Start to Load

SQL Server: Query fast, but slow from procedure

This is probably unlikely, but given that your observed behaviour is unusual it needs to be checked and no-one else has mentioned it.

Are you absolutely sure that all objects are owned by dbo and you don't have a rogue copies owned by yourself or a different user present as well?

Just occasionally when I've seen odd behaviour it's because there was actually two copies of an object and which one you get depends on what is specified and who you are logged on as. For example it is perfectly possible to have two copies of a view or procedure with the same name but owned by different owners - a situation that can arise where you are not logged onto the database as a dbo and forget to specify dbo as object owner when you create the object.

In note that in the text you are running some things without specifying owner, eg

sp_recompile ViewOpener

if for example there where two copies of viewOpener present owned by dbo and [some other user] then which one you actually recompile if you don't specify is dependent upon circumstances. Ditto with the Report_Opener view - if there where two copies (and they could differ in specification or execution plan) then what is used depends upon circumstances - and as you do not specify owner it is perfectly possible that your adhoc query might use one and the compiled procedure might use use the other.

As I say, it's probably unlikely but it is possible and should be checked because your issues could be that you're simply looking for the bug in the wrong place.

Filezilla FTP Server Fails to Retrieve Directory Listing

When you send the port command to your server, you are asking the server to connect to you (on the remote network). If the remote network also has a NAT router, and you have not port-forwarded the port you are sending with your PORT command, the server will not be able reach you.

The most common solution would be to send the PASV command to the server instead of the PORT command. The PASV command will ask the server to create a listening socket and accept a connection from the remote machine to establish the data connection.

For the PASV command to work, you will also need to port-forward a range of ports for the passive data connections. The passive connection ports (which need to be forwarded) should be listed in the FileZilla documentation.

Getting the text that follows after the regex match

Your regex "sentence(.*)" is right. To retrieve the contents of the group in parenthesis, you would call:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile( "sentence(.*)" );
Matcher m = p.matcher( "some lame sentence that is awesome" );
if ( m.find() ) {
   String s = m.group(1); // " that is awesome"
}

Note the use of m.find() in this case (attempts to find anywhere on the string) and not m.matches() (would fail because of the prefix "some lame"; in this case the regex would need to be ".*sentence(.*)")

How to embed fonts in HTML?

And it's unlikely too -- EOT is a fairly restrictive format that is supported only by IE. Both Safari 3.1 and Firefox 3.1 (well the current alpha) and possibly Opera 9.6 support true type font (ttf) embedding, and at least Safari supports SVG fonts through the same mechanism. A list apart had a good discussion about this a while back.

How do I configure different environments in Angular.js?

If you're using Brunch, the plugin Constangular helps you to manage variables for different environments.

Passing on command line arguments to runnable JAR

You can also set a Java property, i.e. environment variable, on the command line and easily use it anywhere in your code.

The command line would be done this way:

c:/> java -jar -Dmyvar=enwiki-20111007-pages-articles.xml wiki2txt

and the java code accesses the value like this:

String context = System.getProperty("myvar"); 

See this question about argument passing in Java.

Html.BeginForm and adding properties

How to convert buffered image to image and vice-versa?

BufferedImage is a(n) Image, so the implicit cast that you're doing in the second line is able to be compiled directly. If you knew an Image was really a BufferedImage, you would have to cast it explicitly like so:

Image image = ImageIO.read(new File(file));
BufferedImage buffered = (BufferedImage) image;

Because BufferedImage extends Image, it can fit in an Image container. However, any Image can fit there, including ones that are not a BufferedImage, and as such you may get a ClassCastException at runtime if the type does not match, because a BufferedImage cannot hold any other type unless it extends BufferedImage.

How to write to Console.Out during execution of an MSTest test

I found a solution of my own. I know that Andras answer is probably the most consistent with MSTEST, but I didn't feel like refactoring my code.

[TestMethod]
public void OneIsOne()
{
    using (ConsoleRedirector cr = new ConsoleRedirector())
    {
        Assert.IsFalse(cr.ToString().Contains("New text"));
        /* call some method that writes "New text" to stdout */
        Assert.IsTrue(cr.ToString().Contains("New text"));
    }
}

The disposable ConsoleRedirector is defined as:

internal class ConsoleRedirector : IDisposable
{
    private StringWriter _consoleOutput = new StringWriter();
    private TextWriter _originalConsoleOutput;
    public ConsoleRedirector()
    {
        this._originalConsoleOutput = Console.Out;
        Console.SetOut(_consoleOutput);
    }
    public void Dispose()
    {
        Console.SetOut(_originalConsoleOutput);
        Console.Write(this.ToString());
        this._consoleOutput.Dispose();
    }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return this._consoleOutput.ToString();

How to add a reference programmatically

Ommit

There are two ways to add references via VBA to your projects

1) Using GUID

2) Directly referencing the dll.

Let me cover both.

But first these are 3 things you need to take care of

a) Macros should be enabled

b) In Security settings, ensure that "Trust Access To Visual Basic Project" is checked

enter image description here

c) You have manually set a reference to `Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility" object

Way 2 (Directly referencing the dll)

This code adds a reference to Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5

Option Explicit

Sub AddReference()
    Dim VBAEditor As VBIDE.VBE
    Dim vbProj As VBIDE.VBProject
    Dim chkRef As VBIDE.Reference
    Dim BoolExists As Boolean

    Set VBAEditor = Application.VBE
    Set vbProj = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject

    '~~> Check if "Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5" is already added
    For Each chkRef In vbProj.References
        If chkRef.Name = "VBScript_RegExp_55" Then
            BoolExists = True
            GoTo CleanUp
        End If
    Next

    vbProj.References.AddFromFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll\3"

CleanUp:
    If BoolExists = True Then
        MsgBox "Reference already exists"
    Else
        MsgBox "Reference Added Successfully"
    End If

    Set vbProj = Nothing
    Set VBAEditor = Nothing
End Sub

Note: I have not added Error Handling. It is recommended that in your actual code, do use it :)

CSS – why doesn’t percentage height work?

You need to give it a container with a height. width uses the viewport as the default width

HEAD and ORIG_HEAD in Git

My understanding is that HEAD points the current branch, while ORIG_HEAD is used to store the previous HEAD before doing "dangerous" operations.

For example git-rebase and git-am record the original tip of branch before they apply any changes.

Find the last element of an array while using a foreach loop in PHP

to get first and last element from foreach array

foreach($array as $value) {
    if ($value === reset($array)) {
        echo 'FIRST ELEMENT!';
    }

    if ($value === end($array)) {
        echo 'LAST ITEM!';
    }
}

How to develop a soft keyboard for Android?

first of all you should define an .xml file and make keyboard UI in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:keyWidth="12.50%p"
android:keyHeight="7%p">
<!--
android:horizontalGap="0.50%p"
android:verticalGap="0.50%p"
NOTE When we add a horizontalGap in pixels, this interferes with keyWidth in percentages adding up to 100%
NOTE When we have a horizontalGap (on Keyboard level) of 0, this make the horizontalGap (on Key level) to move from after the key to before the key... (I consider this a bug) 
-->
<Row>
    <Key android:codes="-5" android:keyLabel="remove"  android:keyEdgeFlags="left" />
    <Key android:codes="48"    android:keyLabel="0" />
    <Key android:codes="55006" android:keyLabel="clear" />
</Row>
<Row>
    <Key android:codes="49"    android:keyLabel="1"  android:keyEdgeFlags="left" />
    <Key android:codes="50"    android:keyLabel="2" />
    <Key android:codes="51"    android:keyLabel="3" />
</Row>
<Row>
    <Key android:codes="52"    android:keyLabel="4"  android:keyEdgeFlags="left" />
    <Key android:codes="53"    android:keyLabel="5" />
    <Key android:codes="54"    android:keyLabel="6" />
</Row>

<Row>
    <Key android:codes="55"    android:keyLabel="7"  android:keyEdgeFlags="left" />
    <Key android:codes="56"    android:keyLabel="8" />
    <Key android:codes="57"    android:keyLabel="9" />
</Row>

In this example you have 4 rows and in each row you have 3 keys. also you can put an icon in each key you want.

Then you should add xml tag in your activity UI like this:

<android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView
        android:id="@+id/keyboardview1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:visibility="visible" />

Also in your .java activity file you should define the keyboard and assign it to a EditText:

CustomKeyboard mCustomKeyboard1 = new CustomKeyboard(this,
            R.id.keyboardview1, R.xml.horizontal_keyboard);
    mCustomKeyboard1.registerEditText(R.id.inputSearch);

This code asign inputSearch (which is a EditText) to your keyboard.

How to return JSON data from spring Controller using @ResponseBody

I was using groovy+springboot and got this error.

Adding getter/setter is enough if we are using below dependency.

implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'

As Jackson core classes come with it.

PHP, pass array through POST

You could put it in the session:

session_start();
$_SESSION['array_name'] = $array_name;

Or if you want to send it via a form you can serialize it:

<input type='hidden' name='input_name' value="<?php echo htmlentities(serialize($array_name)); ?>" />

$passed_array = unserialize($_POST['input_name']);

Note that to work with serialized arrays, you need to use POST as the form's transmission method, as GET has a size limit somewhere around 1024 characters.

I'd use sessions wherever possible.

Declare an empty two-dimensional array in Javascript?

You can just declare a regular array like so:

var arry = [];

Then when you have a pair of values to add to the array, all you need to do is:

arry.push([value_1, value2]);

And yes, the first time you call arry.push, the pair of values will be placed at index 0.

From the nodejs repl:

> var arry = [];
undefined
> arry.push([1,2]);
1
> arry
[ [ 1, 2 ] ]
> arry.push([2,3]);
2
> arry
[ [ 1, 2 ], [ 2, 3 ] ]

Of course, since javascript is dynamically typed, there will be no type checker enforcing that the array remains 2 dimensional. You will have to make sure to only add pairs of coordinates and not do the following:

> arry.push(100);
3
> arry
[ [ 1, 2 ],
  [ 2, 3 ],
  100 ]

Best way to make WPF ListView/GridView sort on column-header clicking?

I use MVVM, so I created some attached properties of my own, using Thomas's as a reference. It does sorting on one column at a time when you click on the header, toggling between Ascending and Descending. It sorts from the very beginning using the first column. And it shows Win7/8 style glyphs.

Normally, all you have to do is set the main property to true (but you have to explicitly declare the GridViewColumnHeaders):

<Window xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyProjectNamespace">
  <Grid>
    <ListView local:App.EnableGridViewSort="True" ItemsSource="{Binding LVItems}">
      <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Property1}">
            <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Prop 1" />
          </GridViewColumn>
          <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Property2}">
            <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Prop 2" />
          </GridViewColumn>
        </GridView>
      </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
  </Grid>
<Window>

If you want to sort on a different property than the display, than you have to declare that:

<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Property3}"
                local:App.GridViewSortPropertyName="Property4">
    <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Prop 3" />
</GridViewColumn>

Here's the code for the attached properties, I like to be lazy and put them in the provided App.xaml.cs:

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows;

Set field value with reflection

You can try this:

//Your class instance
Publication publication = new Publication();

//Get class with full path(with package name)
Class<?> c = Class.forName("com.example.publication.models.Publication");

//Get method
Method  method = c.getDeclaredMethod ("setTitle", String.class);

//set value
method.invoke (publication,  "Value to want to set here...");

Setting a WebRequest's body data

The answers in this topic are all great. However i'd like to propose another one. Most likely you have been given an api and want that into your c# project. Using Postman, you can setup and test the api call there and once it runs properly, you can simply click 'Code' and the request that you have been working on, is written to a c# snippet. like this:

var client = new RestClient("https://api.XXXXX.nl/oauth/token");
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic   N2I1YTM4************************************jI0YzJhNDg=");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("grant_type", "password");
request.AddParameter("username", "[email protected]");
request.AddParameter("password", "XXXXXXXXXXXXX");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

The code above depends on the nuget package RestSharp, which you can easily install.

How to set up default schema name in JPA configuration?

Just to save time of people who come to the post (like me, who looking for Spring config type and want you schema name be set by an external source (property file)). The configuration will work for you is

<bean id="domainEntityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="JiraManager"/>
    <property name="dataSource" ref="domainDataSource"/>
    <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
        <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
            <property name="generateDdl" value="false"/>
            <property name="showSql" value="false"/>
            <property name="databasePlatform" value="${hibernate.dialect}"/>
        </bean>
    </property>
    <property name="jpaProperties">
       <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">none</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.default_schema">${yourSchema}</prop>
       </props>
</property>

</bean>

Ps : For the hibernate.hdm2ddl.auto, you could look in the post Hibernate hbm2ddl.auto possible values and what they do? I have used to set create-update,because it is convenient. However, in production, I think it is better to take control of the ddl, so I take whatever ddl generate first time, save it, rather than let it automatically create and update.

Correct way to detach from a container without stopping it

In Docker container atleast one process must be run, then only the container will be running the docker image(ubuntu,httd..etc, whatever it is) at background without exiting

For example in ubuntu docker image ,

To create a new container with detach mode (running background atleast on process),

docker run -d -i -t f63181f19b2f /bin/bash

it will create a new contain for this image(ubuntu) id f63181f19b2f . The container will run in the detached mode (running in background) at that time a small process tty bash shell will be running at background. so, container will keep on running untill the bash shell process will killed.

To attach to the running background container,use

docker attach  b1a0873a8647

if you want to detach from container without exiting(without killing the bash shell), By default , you can use ctrl-p,q. it will come out of container without exiting from the container(running background. that means without killing the bash shell).

You can pass the custom command during attach time to container,

docker attach --detach-keys="ctrl-s" b1a0873a8647

this time ctrl-p,q escape sequence won't work. instead, ctrl-s will work for exiting from container. you can pass any key eg, (ctrl-*)

draw diagonal lines in div background with CSS

Please check the following.

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>
<div id="mydiv"></div>

JS:

var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.strokeStyle="red";
ctx.moveTo(0,100);
ctx.lineTo(200,0);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.moveTo(0,0);
ctx.lineTo(200,100);
ctx.stroke();

CSS:

html, body { 
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

#myCanvas {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
}

#mydiv {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  right: 0;
  height: 102px;
  width: 202px;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0);

How to define an enumerated type (enum) in C?

It's worth pointing out that you don't need a typedef. You can just do it like the following

enum strategy { RANDOM, IMMEDIATE, SEARCH };
enum strategy my_strategy = IMMEDIATE;

It's a style question whether you prefer typedef. Without it, if you want to refer to the enumeration type, you need to use enum strategy. With it, you can just say strategy.

Both ways have their pro and cons. The one is more wordy, but keeps type identifiers into the tag-namespace where they won't conflict with ordinary identifiers (think of struct stat and the stat function: these don't conflict either), and where you immediately see that it's a type. The other is shorter, but brings type identifiers into the ordinary namespace.

Python & Matplotlib: Make 3D plot interactive in Jupyter Notebook

For 3-D visualization pythreejs is the best way to go probably in the notebook. It leverages the interactive widget infrastructure of the notebook, so connection between the JS and python is seamless.

A more advanced library is bqplot which is a d3-based interactive viz library for the iPython notebook, but it only does 2D

Visual studio code terminal, how to run a command with administrator rights?

Here's what I get.

I'm using Visual Studio Code and its Terminal to execute the 'npm' commands.

Visual Studio Code (not as administrator)
PS g:\labs\myproject> npm install bootstrap@3

Results in scandir and/or permission errors.

Visual Studio Code (as Administrator)
Run this command after I've run something like 'ng serve'

PS g:\labs\myproject> npm install bootstrap@3

Results in scandir and/or permission errors.

Visual Studio Code (as Administrator - closing and opening the IDE)
If I have already executed other commands that would impact node modules I decided to try closing Visual Studio Code first, opening it up as Administrator then running the command:

PS g:\labs\myproject> npm install bootstrap@3

Result I get then is: + [email protected]
added 115 packages and updated 1 package in 24.685s

This is not a permanent solution since I don't want to continue closing down VS Code every time I want to execute an npm command, but it did resolve the issue to a point.

How to get text from each cell of an HTML table?

its

selenium.getTable("tablename".rowNumber.colNumber)

not

What does "<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">" do?

Its an XML namespace. It is required when you use XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 doctypes or application/xhtml+xml mimetypes.

You should be using HTML5 doctype, then you don't need it for text/html. Better start from template like this :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset=utf-8 />
        <title>domcument title</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheet.css" type="text/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
            <!-- your html content -->
            <script src="/script.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>



When you have put your Doctype straight - do and validate you html and your css .
That usually will sove you layout issues.

find path of current folder - cmd

2015-03-30: Edited - Missing information has been added

To retrieve the current directory you can use the dynamic %cd% variable that holds the current active directory

set "curpath=%cd%"

This generates a value with a ending backslash for the root directory, and without a backslash for the rest of directories. You can force and ending backslash for any directory with

for %%a in ("%cd%\") do set "curpath=%%~fa"

Or you can use another dynamic variable: %__CD__% that will return the current active directory with an ending backslash.

Also, remember the %cd% variable can have a value directly assigned. In this case, the value returned will not be the current directory, but the assigned value. You can prevent this with a reference to the current directory

for %%a in (".\") do set "curpath=%%~fa"

Up to windows XP, the %__CD__% variable has the same behaviour. It can be overwritten by the user, but at least from windows 7 (i can't test it on Vista), any change to the %__CD__% is allowed but when the variable is read, the changed value is ignored and the correct current active directory is retrieved (note: the changed value is still visible using the set command).

BUT all the previous codes will return the current active directory, not the directory where the batch file is stored.

set "curpath=%~dp0"

It will return the directory where the batch file is stored, with an ending backslash.

BUT this will fail if in the batch file the shift command has been used

shift
echo %~dp0

As the arguments to the batch file has been shifted, the %0 reference to the current batch file is lost.

To prevent this, you can retrieve the reference to the batch file before any shifting, or change the syntax to shift /1 to ensure the shift operation will start at the first argument, not affecting the reference to the batch file. If you can not use any of this options, you can retrieve the reference to the current batch file in a call to a subroutine

@echo off
    setlocal enableextensions

    rem Destroy batch file reference
    shift
    echo batch folder is "%~dp0"

    rem Call the subroutine to get the batch folder 
    call :getBatchFolder batchFolder
    echo batch folder is "%batchFolder%"

    exit /b

:getBatchFolder returnVar
    set "%~1=%~dp0" & exit /b

This approach can also be necessary if when invoked the batch file name is quoted and a full reference is not used (read here).

How can I convert String[] to ArrayList<String>

You can do something like

MyClass[] arr = myList.toArray(new MyClass[myList.size()]);

Using Regular Expressions to Extract a Value in Java

Look you can do it using StringTokenizer

String str = "as:"+123+"as:"+234+"as:"+345;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str,"as:");

while(st.hasMoreTokens())
{
  String k = st.nextToken();    // you will get first numeric data i.e 123
  int kk = Integer.parseInt(k);
  System.out.println("k string token in integer        " + kk);

  String k1 = st.nextToken();   //  you will get second numeric data i.e 234
  int kk1 = Integer.parseInt(k1);
  System.out.println("new string k1 token in integer   :" + kk1);

  String k2 = st.nextToken();   //  you will get third numeric data i.e 345
  int kk2 = Integer.parseInt(k2);
  System.out.println("k2 string token is in integer   : " + kk2);
}

Since we are taking these numeric data into three different variables we can use this data anywhere in the code (for further use)

How to throw a C++ exception

You could define a message to throw when a certain error occurs:

throw std::invalid_argument( "received negative value" );

or you could define it like this:

std::runtime_error greatScott("Great Scott!");          
double getEnergySync(int year) {                        
    if (year == 1955 || year == 1885) throw greatScott; 
    return 1.21e9;                                      
}                                                       

Typically, you would have a try ... catch block like this:

try {
// do something that causes an exception
}catch (std::exception& e){ std::cerr << "exception: " << e.what() << std::endl; }

Conditional Logic on Pandas DataFrame

In [1]: df
Out[1]:
   data
0     1
1     2
2     3
3     4

You want to apply a function that conditionally returns a value based on the selected dataframe column.

In [2]: df['data'].apply(lambda x: 'true' if x <= 2.5 else 'false')
Out[2]:
0     true
1     true
2    false
3    false
Name: data

You can then assign that returned column to a new column in your dataframe:

In [3]: df['desired_output'] = df['data'].apply(lambda x: 'true' if x <= 2.5 else 'false')

In [4]: df
Out[4]:
   data desired_output
0     1           true
1     2           true
2     3          false
3     4          false

Removing elements with Array.map in JavaScript

That's not what map does. You really want Array.filter. Or if you really want to remove the elements from the original list, you're going to need to do it imperatively with a for loop.

Detect end of ScrollView

EDIT

With the content of your XML, I can see that you use a ScrollView. If you want to use your custom view, you must write com.your.packagename.ScrollViewExt and you will be able to use it in your code.

EDIT END

Could you post the xml content ?

I think that you could simply add a scroll listener and check if the last item showed is the lastest one from the listview like :

mListView.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {      
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub      
    }

    @Override
    public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
            int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(view.getLastVisiblePosition()==(totalItemCount-1)){
            //dosomething
        }
    }
});

Camera access through browser

In iOS6, Apple supports this via the <input type="file"> tag. I couldn't find a useful link in Apple's developer documentation, but there's an example here.

It looks like overlays and more advanced functionality is not yet available, but this should work for a lot of use cases.

EDIT: The w3c has a spec that iOS6 Safari seems to implement a subset of. The capture attribute is notably missing.

How can I display a tooltip message on hover using jQuery?

Take a look at ToolTipster

  • easy to use
  • flexible
  • pretty lightweight, compared to some other tooltip plugins (39kB)
  • looks better, without additional styling
  • has a good set of predefined themes

Multiple markers Google Map API v3 from array of addresses and avoid OVER_QUERY_LIMIT while geocoding on pageLoad

Here is my solution:

dependencies: Gmaps.js, jQuery

var Maps = function($) {
   var lost_addresses = [],
       geocode_count  = 0;

   var addMarker = function() { console.log('Marker Added!') };

   return {
     getGecodeFor: function(addresses) {
        var latlng;
        lost_addresses = [];
        for(i=0;i<addresses.length;i++) {
          GMaps.geocode({
            address: addresses[i],
            callback: function(response, status) {
              if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                addMarker();
              } else if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {
                lost_addresses.push(addresses[i]);
              }

               geocode_count++;
               // notify listeners when the geocode is done
               if(geocode_count == addresses.length) {
                 $.event.trigger({ type: 'done:geocoder' });
               }
            }
          });
        }
     },
     processLostAddresses: function() {
       if(lost_addresses.length > 0) {
         this.getGeocodeFor(lost_addresses);
       }
     }
   };
}(jQuery);

Maps.getGeocodeFor(address);

// listen to done:geocode event and process the lost addresses after 1.5s
$(document).on('done:geocode', function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    Maps.processLostAddresses();
  }, 1500);
});

Cannot authenticate into mongo, "auth fails"

Authentication is managed at a database level. When you try to connect to the system using a database, mongo actually checks for the credentials you provide in the collection <database>.system.users. So, basically when you are trying to connect to "test", it looks for the credentials in test.system.users and returns an error because it cannot find them (as they are stored in admin.system.users). Having the right to read and write from all db doesn't mean you can directly connect to them.

You have to connect to the database holding the credentials first. Try:

mongo admin -u admin -p SECRETPASSWORD

"Untrusted App Developer" message when installing enterprise iOS Application

If you push it out through MDM it should auto-trust the application (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204460), but it still has to verify the certs etc with Apple to ensure they've not been revoked etc i presume. I had this message preventing the application from launching and it was only when the proxy information was configured so it i could use the internet that it went away after a couple more launch attempts.

Reload the page after ajax success

BrixenDK is right.

.ajaxStop() callback executed when all ajax call completed. This is a best place to put your handler.

$(document).ajaxStop(function(){
    window.location.reload();
});

Oracle PL/SQL string compare issue

I've created a stored function for this text comparison purpose:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TextCompare(vOperand1 IN VARCHAR2, vOperator IN VARCHAR2, vOperand2 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC AS
BEGIN
  IF vOperator = '=' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 = vOperand2 OR vOperand1 IS NULL AND vOperand2 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = '<>' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 <> vOperand2 OR (vOperand1 IS NULL) <> (vOperand2 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = '<=' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 <= vOperand2 OR vOperand1 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = '>=' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 >= vOperand2 OR vOperand2 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = '<' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 < vOperand2 OR vOperand1 IS NULL AND vOperand2 IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = '>' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 > vOperand2 OR vOperand1 IS NOT NULL AND vOperand2 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = 'LIKE' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 LIKE vOperand2 OR vOperand1 IS NULL AND vOperand2 IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSIF vOperator = 'NOT LIKE' THEN
    RETURN CASE WHEN vOperand1 NOT LIKE vOperand2 OR (vOperand1 IS NULL) <> (vOperand2 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END;
  ELSE
    RAISE VALUE_ERROR;
  END IF;
END;

In example:

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE TextCompare(MyTable.a, '>=', MyTable.b) = 1;

Download files in laravel using Response::download

'if' in prolog?

Prolog program actually is big condition for "if" with "then" which prints "Goal is reached" and "else" which prints "No sloutions was found". A, Bmeans "A is true and B is true", most of prolog systems will not try to satisfy "B" if "A" is not reachable (i.e. X=3, write('X is 3'),nl will print 'X is 3' when X=3, and will do nothing if X=2).

How to hide scrollbar in Firefox?

It will not work in Firefox, as the Firefox abandoned the support for hidden scrollbars with functionality (you can use overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none; in old versions).

How to pad a string with leading zeros in Python 3

Make use of the zfill() helper method to left-pad any string, integer or float with zeros; it's valid for both Python 2.x and Python 3.x.

Sample usage:

print str(1).zfill(3);
# Expected output: 001

Description:

When applied to a value, zfill() returns a value left-padded with zeros when the length of the initial string value less than that of the applied width value, otherwise, the initial string value as is.

Syntax:

str(string).zfill(width)
# Where string represents a string, an integer or a float, and
# width, the desired length to left-pad.

How to insert a text at the beginning of a file?

Hi with carriage return:

Failed to execute 'btoa' on 'Window': The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

Using btoa with unescape and encodeURIComponent didn't work for me. Replacing all the special characters with XML/HTML entities and then converting to the base64 representation was the only way to solve this issue for me. Some code:

base64 = btoa(str.replace(/[\u00A0-\u2666]/g, function(c) {
    return '&#' + c.charCodeAt(0) + ';';
}));

What values can I pass to the event attribute of the f:ajax tag?

The event attribute of <f:ajax> can hold at least all supported DOM events of the HTML element which is been generated by the JSF component in question. An easy way to find them all out is to check all on* attribues of the JSF input component of interest in the JSF tag library documentation and then remove the "on" prefix. For example, the <h:inputText> component which renders <input type="text"> lists the following on* attributes (of which I've already removed the "on" prefix so that it ultimately becomes the DOM event type name):

  • blur
  • change
  • click
  • dblclick
  • focus
  • keydown
  • keypress
  • keyup
  • mousedown
  • mousemove
  • mouseout
  • mouseover
  • mouseup
  • select

Additionally, JSF has two more special event names for EditableValueHolder and ActionSource components, the real HTML DOM event being rendered depends on the component type:

  • valueChange (will render as change on text/select inputs and as click on radio/checkbox inputs)
  • action (will render as click on command links/buttons)

The above two are the default events for the components in question.

Some JSF component libraries have additional customized event names which are generally more specialized kinds of valueChange or action events, such as PrimeFaces <p:ajax> which supports among others tabChange, itemSelect, itemUnselect, dateSelect, page, sort, filter, close, etc depending on the parent <p:xxx> component. You can find them all in the "Ajax Behavior Events" subsection of each component's chapter in PrimeFaces Users Guide.

ASP.NET MVC 3 - redirect to another action

How do I navigate to a parent route from a child route?

add Location to your constructor from @angular/common

constructor(private _location: Location) {}

add the back function:

back() {
  this._location.back();
}

and then in your view:

<button class="btn" (click)="back()">Back</button>

Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status httpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details

From your output:

no listening sockets available, shutting down

what basically means, that any port in which one apache is going to be listening is already being used by another application.

netstat -punta | grep LISTEN

Will give you a list of all the ports being used and the information needed to recognize which process is so you can kill stop or do whatever you want to do with it.

After doing a nmap of your ip I can see that

80/tcp    open     http

so I guess you sorted it out.

Postgresql SQL: How check boolean field with null and True,False Value?

There are 3 states for boolean in PG: true, false and unknown (null). Explained here: Postgres boolean datatype

Therefore you need only query for NOT TRUE:

SELECT * from table_name WHERE boolean_column IS NOT TRUE;

Select rows of a matrix that meet a condition

If your matrix is called m, just use :

R> m[m$three == 11, ]

I need a Nodejs scheduler that allows for tasks at different intervals

I have written a small module to do just that, called timexe:

  • Its simple,small reliable code and has no dependencies
  • Resolution is in milliseconds and has high precision over time
  • Cron like, but not compatible (reversed order and other Improvements)
  • I works in the browser too

Install:

npm install timexe

use:

var timexe = require('timexe');
//Every 30 sec
var res1=timexe(”* * * * * /30”, function() console.log(“Its time again”)});

//Every minute
var res2=timexe(”* * * * *”,function() console.log(“a minute has passed”)});

//Every 7 days
var res3=timexe(”* y/7”,function() console.log(“its the 7th day”)});

//Every Wednesdays 
var res3=timexe(”* * w3”,function() console.log(“its Wednesdays”)});

// Stop "every 30 sec. timer"
timexe.remove(res1.id);

you can achieve start/stop functionality by removing/re-adding the entry directly in the timexe job array. But its not an express function.

Most concise way to convert a Set<T> to a List<T>

not really sure what you're doing exactly via the context of your code but...

why make the listOfTopicAuthors variable at all?

List<String> list = Arrays.asList((....).toArray( new String[0] ) );

the "...." represents however your set came into play, whether it's new or came from another location.

Which .NET Dependency Injection frameworks are worth looking into?

It depends on what you are looking for, as they each have their pros and cons.

  1. Spring.NET is the most mature as it comes out of Spring from the Java world. Spring has a very rich set of framework libraries that extend it to support Web, Windows, etc.
  2. Castle Windsor is one of the most widely used in the .NET platform and has the largest ecosystem, is highly configurable / extensible, has custom lifetime management, AOP support, has inherent NHibernate support and is an all around awesome container. Windsor is part of an entire stack which includes Monorail, Active Record, etc. NHibernate itself builds on top of Windsor.
  3. Structure Map has very rich and fine grained configuration through an internal DSL.
  4. Autofac is an IoC container of the new age with all of it's inherent functional programming support. It also takes a different approach on managing lifetime than the others. Autofac is still very new, but it pushes the bar on what is possible with IoC.
  5. Ninject I have heard is more bare bones with a less is more approach (heard not experienced).
  6. The biggest discriminator of Unity is: it's from and supported by Microsoft (p&p). Unity has very good performance, and great documentation. It is also highly configurable. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of say Castle / Structure Map.

So in summary, it really depends on what is important to you. I would agree with others on going and evaluating and seeing which one fits. The nice thing is you have a nice selection of donuts rather than just having to have a jelly one.

How to fix the "java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names present" error?

Best way to compare 2 XML documents in Java

I required the same functionality as requested in the main question. As I was not allowed to use any 3rd party libraries, I have created my own solution basing on @Archimedes Trajano solution.

     */
    public static void assertEqualXmls(String expectedXml, String actualXml) throws Exception {
        // Find all namespace mappings
        Map<String, String> fullnamespace2newAlias = new HashMap<String, String>();
        generateNewAliasesForNamespacesFromXml(expectedXml, fullnamespace2newAlias);
        generateNewAliasesForNamespacesFromXml(actualXml, fullnamespace2newAlias);

        for (Entry<String, String> entry : fullnamespace2newAlias.entrySet()) {
            String newAlias = entry.getValue();

    private static String transletaNamespaceAliasesToNewAlias(String xml, String newAlias, Pattern namespacePattern) {
        Matcher nsMatcherExp = namespacePattern.matcher(xml);

        while (nsMatcher.find()) {
            if (!fullnamespace2newAlias.containsKey(nsMatcher.group(2))) {
                fullnamespace2newAlias.put(nsMatcher.group(2), "nsTr" + (fullnamespace2newAlias.size() + 1));
            }
        }
    }

}

It compares two XML strings and takes care of any mismatching namespace mappings by translating them to unique values in both input strings.

Can be fine tuned i.e. in case of translation of namespaces. But for my requirements just does the job.

Detect if a jQuery UI dialog box is open

If you want to check if the dialog's open on a particular element you can do this:

if ($('#elem').closest('.ui-dialog').is(':visible')) { 
  // do something
}

Or if you just want to check if the element itself is visible you can do:

if ($('#elem').is(':visible')) { 
  // do something
}

Or...

if ($('#elem:visible').length) { 
  // do something
}

What is the difference between npm install and npm run build?

npm install installs dependencies into the node_modules/ directory, for the node project you're working on. You can call install on another node.js project (module), to install it as a dependency for your project.

npm run build does nothing unless you specify what "build" does in your package.json file. It lets you perform any necessary building/prep tasks for your project, prior to it being used in another project.

npm build is an internal command and is called by link and install commands, according to the documentation for build:

This is the plumbing command called by npm link and npm install.

You will not be calling npm build normally as it is used internally to build native C/C++ Node addons using node-gyp.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in a CodeIgniter View

git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now

Bash script to calculate time elapsed

Either $(()) or $[] will work for computing the result of an arithmetic operation. You're using $() which is simply taking the string and evaluating it as a command. It's a bit of a subtle distinction. Hope this helps.

As tink pointed out in the comments on this answer, $[] is deprecated, and $(()) should be favored.

Python convert csv to xlsx

With my library pyexcel,

 $ pip install pyexcel pyexcel-xlsx

you can do it in one command line:

from pyexcel.cookbook import merge_all_to_a_book
# import pyexcel.ext.xlsx # no longer required if you use pyexcel >= 0.2.2 
import glob


merge_all_to_a_book(glob.glob("your_csv_directory/*.csv"), "output.xlsx")

Each csv will have its own sheet and the name will be their file name.

How does one Display a Hyperlink in React Native App?

The selected answer refers only to iOS. For both platforms, you can use the following component:

import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
import {
  Linking,
  Text,
  StyleSheet
} from 'react-native';

export default class HyperLink extends Component {

  constructor(){
      super();
      this._goToURL = this._goToURL.bind(this);
  }

  static propTypes = {
    url: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
    title: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  }

  render() {

    const { title} = this.props;

    return(
      <Text style={styles.title} onPress={this._goToURL}>
        >  {title}
      </Text>
    );
  }

  _goToURL() {
    const { url } = this.props;
    Linking.canOpenURL(url).then(supported => {
      if (supported) {
        Linking.openURL(this.props.url);
      } else {
        console.log('Don\'t know how to open URI: ' + this.props.url);
      }
    });
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

SQLite in Android How to update a specific row

  1. I personally prefere .update for its convenience. But execsql will work same.
  2. You are right with your guess that the problem is your content values. You should create a ContentValue Object and put the values for your database row there.

This code should fix your example:

 ContentValues data=new ContentValues();
 data.put("Field1","bob");
 data.put("Field2",19);
 data.put("Field3","male");
 DB.update(Tablename, data, "_id=" + id, null);
