SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

For Windows, I was able to get it working by enabling TLS for secure communication on the SMTP Virtual server. TLS will not be available on the SMTP virtual server without a certificate. This link will give the steps needed.

Maven is not working in Java 8 when Javadoc tags are incomplete

To ignore missing @param and @return tags, it's enough to disable the missing doclint group. This way, the javadoc will still be checked for higher level and syntax issues:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
        <configuration>
            <doclint>all,-missing</doclint>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

Note that this is for plugin version 3.0 or newer.

How to detect if JavaScript is disabled?

Might sound a strange solution, but you can give it a try :

<?php $jsEnabledVar = 0; ?>    

<script type="text/javascript">
var jsenabled = 1;
if(jsenabled == 1)
{
   <?php $jsEnabledVar = 1; ?>
}
</script>

<noscript>
var jsenabled = 0;
if(jsenabled == 0)
{
   <?php $jsEnabledVar = 0; ?>
}
</noscript>

Now use the value of '$jsEnabledVar' throughout the page. You may also use it to display a block indicating the user that JS is turned off.

Static link of shared library function in gcc

Refer to:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/forcing-static-linking-of-shared-libraries-696714/

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.development.apps/2004-05/0436.html

You need the static version of the library to link it.

A shared library is actually an executable in a special format with entry points specified (and some sticky addressing issues included). It does not have all the information needed to link statically.

You can't statically link a shared library (or dynamically link a static one).

The flag -static will force the linker to use static libraries (.a) instead of shared (.so) ones. But static libraries aren't always installed by default, so you may have to install the static library yourself.

Another possible approach is to use statifier or Ermine. Both tools take as input a dynamically linked executable and as output create a self-contained executable with all shared libraries embedded.

Why powershell does not run Angular commands?

I solved my problem by running below command

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

How do you tell if caps lock is on using JavaScript?

There is a much simpler solution for detecting caps-lock:

function isCapsLockOn(event) {
    var s = String.fromCharCode(event.which);
    if (s.toUpperCase() === s && s.toLowerCase() !== s && !event.shiftKey) {
        return true;
    }
}

LDAP root query syntax to search more than one specific OU

The answer is NO you can't. Why?

Because the LDAP standard describes a LDAP-SEARCH as kind of function with 4 parameters:

  1. The node where the search should begin, which is a Distinguish Name (DN)
  2. The attributes you want to be brought back
  3. The depth of the search (base, one-level, subtree)
  4. The filter

You are interested in the filter. You've got a summary here (it's provided by Microsoft for Active Directory, it's from a standard). The filter is composed, in a boolean way, by expression of the type Attribute Operator Value.

So the filter you give does not mean anything.

On the theoretical point of view there is ExtensibleMatch that allows buildind filters on the DN path, but it's not supported by Active Directory.

As far as I know, you have to use an attribute in AD to make the distinction for users in the two OUs.

It can be any existing discriminator attribute, or, for example the attribute called OU which is inherited from organizationalPerson class. you can set it (it's not automatic, and will not be maintained if you move the users) with "staff" for some users and "vendors" for others and them use the filter:

(&(objectCategory=person)(|(ou=staff)(ou=vendors)))

Where is Developer Command Prompt for VS2013?

Since any solution given so far will open the command prompt on the project folder, you would still have to navigate to the project's folder. If you are interested in getting the command prompt directly into the project's folder, here is my 2 steps:

  1. Right-click in solution explorer on the project name (just under the solution name) and choose the command "Open Folder in File Explorer"
  2. Once the Windows Explorer is open, just type in the address bar "cmd" and then hit enter!

Et voila! Hope that helps

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: jenkins for class: groovy.lang.Binding

As pointed out by @Jayan in another post, the solution was to do the following

import jenkins.model.*
jenkins = Jenkins.instance

Then I was able to do the rest of my scripting the way it was.

Search and replace part of string in database

I was just faced with a similar problem. I exported the contents of the db into one sql file and used TextEdit to find and replace everything I needed. Simplicity ftw!

How to downgrade Node version

In Mac there is a fast method with brew:

brew search node

You see some version, for example: node@10 node@12 ... Then

brew unlink node

And now select a before version for example node@12

brew link --overwrite --force node@12

Ready, you have downgraded you node version.

Does height and width not apply to span?

span {display:block;} also adds a line-break.

To avoid that, use span {display:inline-block;} and then you can add width and height to the inline element, and you can align it within the block as well:

span {
        display:inline-block;
        width: 5em;
        font-weight: normal;
        text-align: center
     }

How to trigger a build only if changes happen on particular set of files

I answered this question in another post:

How to get list of changed files since last build in Jenkins/Hudson

#!/bin/bash

set -e

job_name="whatever"
JOB_URL="http://myserver:8080/job/${job_name}/"
FILTER_PATH="path/to/folder/to/monitor"

python_func="import json, sys
obj = json.loads(sys.stdin.read())
ch_list = obj['changeSet']['items']
_list = [ j['affectedPaths'] for j in ch_list ]
for outer in _list:
  for inner in outer:
    print inner
"

_affected_files=`curl --silent ${JOB_URL}${BUILD_NUMBER}'/api/json' | python -c "$python_func"`

if [ -z "`echo \"$_affected_files\" | grep \"${FILTER_PATH}\"`" ]; then
  echo "[INFO] no changes detected in ${FILTER_PATH}"
  exit 0
else
  echo "[INFO] changed files detected: "
  for a_file in `echo "$_affected_files" | grep "${FILTER_PATH}"`; do
    echo "    $a_file"
  done;
fi;

You can add the check directly to the top of the job's exec shell, and it will exit 0 if no changes are detected... Hence, you can always poll the top level for check-in's to trigger a build.

Java - How do I make a String array with values?

By using the array initializer list syntax, ie:

String myArray[] = { "one", "two", "three" };

SQL is null and = null

In SQL, a comparison between a null value and any other value (including another null) using a comparison operator (eg =, !=, <, etc) will result in a null, which is considered as false for the purposes of a where clause (strictly speaking, it's "not true", rather than "false", but the effect is the same).

The reasoning is that a null means "unknown", so the result of any comparison to a null is also "unknown". So you'll get no hit on rows by coding where my_column = null.

SQL provides the special syntax for testing if a column is null, via is null and is not null, which is a special condition to test for a null (or not a null).

Here's some SQL showing a variety of conditions and and their effect as per above.

create table t (x int, y int);
insert into t values (null, null), (null, 1), (1, 1);

select 'x = null' as test , x, y from t where x = null
union all
select 'x != null', x, y from t where x != null
union all
select 'not (x = null)', x, y from t where not (x = null)
union all
select 'x = y', x, y from t where x = y
union all
select 'not (x = y)', x, y from t where not (x = y);

returns only 1 row (as expected):

TEST    X   Y
x = y   1   1

See this running on SQLFiddle

import module from string variable

The __import__ function can be a bit hard to understand.

If you change

i = __import__('matplotlib.text')

to

i = __import__('matplotlib.text', fromlist=[''])

then i will refer to matplotlib.text.

In Python 2.7 and Python 3.1 or later, you can use importlib:

import importlib

i = importlib.import_module("matplotlib.text")

Some notes

  • If you're trying to import something from a sub-folder e.g. ./feature/email.py, the code will look like importlib.import_module("feature.email")

  • You can't import anything if there is no __init__.py in the folder with file you are trying to import

How do I create a master branch in a bare Git repository?

You don't need to use a second repository - you can do commands like git checkout and git commit on a bare repository, if only you supply a dummy work directory using the --work-tree option.

Prepare a dummy directory:

$ rm -rf /tmp/empty_directory
$ mkdir  /tmp/empty_directory

Create the master branch without a parent (works even on a completely empty repo):

$ cd your-bare-repository.git

$ git checkout --work-tree=/tmp/empty_directory --orphan master
Switched to a new branch 'master'                  <--- abort if "master" already exists

Create a commit (it can be a message-only, without adding any files, because what you need is simply having at least one commit):

$ git commit -m "Initial commit" --allow-empty --work-tree=/tmp/empty_directory 

$ git branch
* master

Clean up the directory, it is still empty.

$ rmdir  /tmp/empty_directory

Tested on git 1.9.1. (Specifically for OP, the posh-git is just a PowerShell wrapper for standard git.)

declaring a priority_queue in c++ with a custom comparator

The accepted answer makes you believe that you must use a class or a std::function as comparator. This is not true! As cute_ptr's answer shows, you can pass a function pointer to the constructor. However, the syntax to do so is much simpler than shown there:

class Node;
bool Compare(Node a, Node b);

std::priority_queue<Node, std::vector<Node>, decltype(&Compare)> openSet(Compare);

That is, there is no need to explicitly encode the function's type, you can let the compiler do that for you using decltype.

This is very useful if the comparator is a lambda. You cannot specify the type of a lambda in any other way than using decltype. For example:

auto compare = [](Node a, Node b) { return a.foo < b.foo; }
std::priority_queue<Node, std::vector<Node>, decltype(compare)> openSet(compare);

Ordering by the order of values in a SQL IN() clause

I just tried to do this is MS SQL Server where we do not have FIELD():

SELECT table1.id
... 
INNER JOIN
    (VALUES (10,1),(3,2),(4,3),(5,4),(7,5),(8,6),(9,7),(2,8),(6,9),(5,10)
    ) AS X(id,sortorder)
        ON X.id = table1.id
    ORDER BY X.sortorder

Note that I am allowing duplication too.

MySQL Foreign Key Error 1005 errno 150 primary key as foreign key

When creating a foreign key constraint, MySQL requires a usable index on both the referencing table and also on the referenced table. The index on the referencing table is created automatically if one doesn't exist, but the one on the referenced table needs to be created manually (Source). Yours appears to be missing.

Test case:

CREATE TABLE tbl_a (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    some_other_id int,
    value int
) ENGINE=INNODB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.10 sec)

CREATE TABLE tbl_b (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    a_id int,
    FOREIGN KEY (a_id) REFERENCES tbl_a (some_other_id)
) ENGINE=INNODB;
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'e.tbl_b' (errno: 150)

But if we add an index on some_other_id:

CREATE INDEX ix_some_id ON tbl_a (some_other_id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

CREATE TABLE tbl_b (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    a_id int,
    FOREIGN KEY (a_id) REFERENCES tbl_a (some_other_id)
) ENGINE=INNODB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)

This is often not an issue in most situations, since the referenced field is often the primary key of the referenced table, and the primary key is indexed automatically.

Printing an int list in a single line python3

Yes that is possible in Python 3, just use * before the variable like:

print(*list)

This will print the list separated by spaces.

(where * is the unpacking operator that turns a list into positional arguments, print(*[1,2,3]) is the same as print(1,2,3), see also What does the star operator mean, in a function call?)

What is the default maximum heap size for Sun's JVM from Java SE 6?

As of JDK6U18 following are configurations for the Heap Size.

In the Client JVM, the default Java heap configuration has been modified to improve the performance of today's rich client applications. Initial and maximum heap sizes are larger and settings related to generational garbage collection are better tuned.

The default maximum heap size is half of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 192 megabytes and otherwise one fourth of the physical memory up to a physical memory size of 1 gigabyte. For example, if your machine has 128 megabytes of physical memory, then the maximum heap size is 64 megabytes, and greater than or equal to 1 gigabyte of physical memory results in a maximum heap size of 256 megabytes. The maximum heap size is not actually used by the JVM unless your program creates enough objects to require it. A much smaller amount, termed the initial heap size, is allocated during JVM initialization. This amount is at least 8 megabytes and otherwise 1/64 of physical memory up to a physical memory size of 1 gigabyte.

How can I get the DateTime for the start of the week?

We like one-liners : Get the difference between the current culture's first day of week and the current day then subtract the number of days from the current day

var weekStartDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-((int)now.DayOfWeek - (int)DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.FirstDayOfWeek));

Remove "whitespace" between div element

Using a <br/> for making a new row it's a bad solution from the start. Make your container #div1 to have a width equal to 3 child-divs. <br/> in my opinion should not be used in other places than paragraphs.

How do I set Tomcat Manager Application User Name and Password for NetBeans?

Follow my steps and be happy:

1.- When you are configuring Netbeans for the first time, they will ask you for a "user" and "pass" for the Catalina-Server.

2.- Type whatever "user" and "pass" . This will modify your "tomcat-users.xml" and will add:

user password="MYPASS" roles="manager-script,admin,tomcat" username="MYUSER"

3.- To use this "user" just restart your TOMCAT WEB SERVER and NETBEANS.

html tables & inline styles

This should do the trick:

<table width="400" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="50" height="40" valign="top" rowspan="3">
      <img alt="" src="" width="40" height="40" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
    </td>
    <td width="350" height="40" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;">
<a href="" style="color: #D31145; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">LAST FIRST</a><br>
REALTOR | P 123.456.789
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="350" height="70" valign="bottom" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;">
<img alt="" src="" width="200" height="60" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="350" height="20" valign="bottom" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000;">
all your minor text here | all your minor text here | all your minor text here
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

UPDATE: Adjusted code per the comments:

After viewing your jsFiddle, an important thing to note about tables is that table cell widths in each additional row all have to be the same width as the first, and all cells must add to the total width of your table.

Here is an example that will NOT WORK:

<table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="200" bgcolor="#252525">&nbsp;
    </td>
    <td width="400" bgcolor="#454545">&nbsp;
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="300" bgcolor="#252525">&nbsp;
    </td>
    <td width="300" bgcolor="#454545">&nbsp;
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Although the 2nd row does add up to 600, it (and any additional rows) must have the same 200-400 split as the first row, unless you are using colspans. If you use a colspan, you could have one row, but it needs to have the same width as the cells it is spanning, so this works:

<table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="200" bgcolor="#252525">&nbsp;
    </td>
    <td width="400" bgcolor="#454545">&nbsp;
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="600" colspan="2" bgcolor="#353535">&nbsp;
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Not a full tutorial, but I hope that helps steer you in the right direction in the future.

Here is the code you are after:

<table width="900" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="57" height="43" valign="top" rowspan="2">
      <img alt="Rashel Adragna" src="http://zoparealtygroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sig_head.png" width="47" height="43" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
    </td>
    <td width="843" height="43" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;">
<a href="" style="color: #D31145; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">RASHEL ADRAGNA</a><br>
REALTOR | P 855.900.24KW
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="843" height="64" valign="bottom" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000;">
<img alt="Zopa Realty Group logo" src="http://zoparealtygroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sig_logo.png" width="177" height="54" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="843" colspan="2" height="20" valign="bottom" align="center" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000;">
all your minor text here | all your minor text here | all your minor text here
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

You'll note that I've added an extra 10px to some of your table cells. This in combination with align/valigns act as padding between your cells. It is a clever way to aviod actually having to add padding, margins or empty padding cells.

How do I list one filename per output line in Linux?

Use the -1 option (note this is a "one" digit, not a lowercase letter "L"), like this:

ls -1a

First, though, make sure your ls supports -1. GNU coreutils (installed on standard Linux systems) and Solaris do; but if in doubt, use man ls or ls --help or check the documentation. E.g.:

$ man ls
...
       -1     list one file per line.  Avoid '\n' with -q or -b

How can I make a JUnit test wait?

You can use java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit library which internally uses Thread.sleep. The syntax should look like this :

@Test
public void testExipres(){
    SomeCacheObject sco = new SomeCacheObject();
    sco.putWithExipration("foo", 1000);

    TimeUnit.MINUTES.sleep(2);

    assertNull(sco.getIfNotExipred("foo"));
}

This library provides more clear interpretation for time unit. You can use 'HOURS'/'MINUTES'/'SECONDS'.

Mapping object to dictionary and vice versa

Seems reflection only help here.. I've done small example of converting object to dictionary and vise versa:

[TestMethod]
public void DictionaryTest()
{
    var item = new SomeCLass { Id = "1", Name = "name1" };
    IDictionary<string, object> dict = ObjectToDictionary<SomeCLass>(item);
    var obj = ObjectFromDictionary<SomeCLass>(dict);
}

private T ObjectFromDictionary<T>(IDictionary<string, object> dict)
    where T : class 
{
    Type type = typeof(T);
    T result = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
    foreach (var item in dict)
    {
        type.GetProperty(item.Key).SetValue(result, item.Value, null);
    }
    return result;
}

private IDictionary<string, object> ObjectToDictionary<T>(T item)
    where T: class
{
    Type myObjectType = item.GetType();
    IDictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    var indexer = new object[0];
    PropertyInfo[] properties = myObjectType.GetProperties();
    foreach (var info in properties)
    {
        var value = info.GetValue(item, indexer);
        dict.Add(info.Name, value);
    }
    return dict;
}

All links to the Azure Active Directory Connection page now seem to be invalid.

I had an older version of Azure AD installed too, this is what worked for me. Install this.

Run these in an elevated PS session:

install-module MSOnline

I was then able to log in and run what I needed.

What is the difference between a "line feed" and a "carriage return"?

Since I can not comment because of not having enough reward points I have to answer to correct answer given by @Burhan Khalid.
In very layman language Enter key press is combination of carriage return and line feed.
Carriage return points the cursor to the beginning of the line horizontly and Line feed shifts the cursor to the next line vertically.Combination of both gives you new line(\n) effect.

Why does modulus division (%) only work with integers?

"The mathematical notion of modulo arithmetic works for floating point values as well, and this is one of the first issues that Donald Knuth discusses in his classic The Art of Computer Programming (volume I). I.e. it was once basic knowledge."

The floating point modulus operator is defined as follows:

m = num - iquot*den ; where iquot = int( num/den )

As indicated, the no-op of the % operator on floating point numbers appears to be standards related. The CRTL provides 'fmod', and usually 'remainder' as well, to perform % on fp numbers. The difference between these two lies in how they handle the intermediate 'iquot' rounding.

'remainder' uses round-to-nearest, and 'fmod' uses simple truncate.

If you write your own C++ numerical classes, nothing prevents you from amending the no-op legacy, by including an overloaded operator %.

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

I had the same issue and I was "Running" the tests. If I instead "Debug" the tests the Debug output shows just fine like all others Trace and Console. I don't know though how to see the output if you "Run" the tests.

How to pass a parameter to Vue @click event handler

I had the same issue and here is how I manage to pass through:

In your case you have addToCount() which is called. now to pass down a param when user clicks, you can say @click="addToCount(item.contactID)"

in your function implementation you can receive the params like:

addToCount(paramContactID){
 // the paramContactID contains the value you passed into the function when you called it
 // you can do what you want to do with the paramContactID in here!

}

Iterate through Nested JavaScript Objects

To increase performance for further tree manipulation is good to transform tree view into line collection view, like [obj1, obj2, obj3]. You can store parent-child object relations to easy navigate to parent/child scope.

Searching element inside collection is more efficient then find element inside tree (recursion, addition dynamic function creation, closure).

Sending cookies with postman

I used postman chrome extension until it became deprecated. Chrome extension also less usable and powerful then native postman application. So, it became not very convenient to use chrome extension. I have found next approach:

  1. copy any request in chrome/any other browser as CURL request (image 1)
  2. import to postman copied request (image 2)
  3. save imported request in postman's list

copy curl request image 1

Get list of filenames in folder with Javascript

I write a file dir.php

var files = <?php $out = array();
foreach (glob('file/*.html') as $filename) {
    $p = pathinfo($filename);
    $out[] = $p['filename'];
}
echo json_encode($out); ?>;

In your script add:

<script src='dir.php'></script>

and use the files[] array

How to convert "Mon Jun 18 00:00:00 IST 2012" to 18/06/2012?

java.time

The modern approach is with the java.time classes. These supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as Date, Calendar, and SimpleDateFormat.

Parse as a ZonedDateTime.

String input = "Mon Jun 18 00:00:00 IST 2012";
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "E MMM dd HH:mm:ss z uuuu" )
                                       .withLocale( Locale.US );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse( input , f );

Extract a date-only object, a LocalDate, without any time-of-day and without any time zone.

LocalDate ld = zdt.toLocalDate();
DateTimeFormatter fLocalDate = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd/MM/uuuu" );
String output = ld.format( fLocalDate) ;

Dump to console.

System.out.println( "input: " + input );
System.out.println( "zdt: " + zdt );
System.out.println( "ld: " + ld );
System.out.println( "output: " + output );

input: Mon Jun 18 00:00:00 IST 2012

zdt: 2012-06-18T00:00+03:00[Asia/Jerusalem]

ld: 2012-06-18

output: 18/06/2012

See this code run live in IdeOne.com.

Poor choice of format

Your format is a poor choice for data exchange: hard to read by human, hard to parse by computer, uses non-standard 3-4 letter zone codes, and assumes English.

Instead use the standard ISO 8601 formats whenever possible. The java.time classes use ISO 8601 formats by default when parsing/generating date-time values.

Specify a proper time zone name in the format of continent/region, such as America/Montreal, Africa/Casablanca, or Pacific/Auckland. Never use the 3-4 letter abbreviation such as EST or IST as they are not true time zones, not standardized, and not even unique(!). For example, your use of IST may be Irish Standard Time, Israel Standard Time (as interpreted by java.time, seen above), or India Standard Time.


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

Maintaining the final state at end of a CSS3 animation

Use animation-fill-mode: forwards;

animation-fill-mode: forwards;

The element will retain the style values that is set by the last keyframe (depends on animation-direction and animation-iteration-count).

Note: The @keyframes rule is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.

How to access data/data folder in Android device?

You can download a sigle file like that:

adb exec-out run-as debuggable.app.package.name cat files/file.mp4 > file.mp4

Before you download you might wan't to have a look at the file structure in your App-Directory. For this do the following steps THelper noticed above:

adb shell
run-as com.your.packagename 
cd files
ls -als .

The Android-Studio way Shahidul mentioned (https://stackoverflow.com/a/44089388/1256697) also work. For those who don't see the DeviceFile Explorer Option in the Menu: Be sure, to open the /android-Directory in Android Studio. E.g. react-native users have this inside of their Project-Folder right on the same Level as the /ios-Directory.

How to redirect the output of DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to a file?

Its possible write a file directly to the DB server that hosts your database, and that will change all along with the execution of your PL/SQL program.

This uses the Oracle directory TMP_DIR; you have to declare it, and create the below procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE write_log(p_log varchar2)
  -- file mode; thisrequires
--- CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY TMP_DIR as '/directory/where/oracle/can/write/on/DB_server/';
AS
  l_file utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
  l_file := utl_file.fopen('TMP_DIR', 'my_output.log', 'A');
  utl_file.put_line(l_file, p_log);
  utl_file.fflush(l_file);
  utl_file.fclose(l_file);
END write_log;
/

Here is how to use it:

1) Launch this from your SQL*PLUS client:

BEGIN
  write_log('this is a test');
  for i in 1..100 loop
    DBMS_LOCK.sleep(1);
    write_log('iter=' || i);
  end loop;
  write_log('test complete');
END;
/

2) on the database server, open a shell and

    tail -f -n500 /directory/where/oracle/can/write/on/DB_server/my_output.log

How to validate Google reCAPTCHA v3 on server side?

To verify at server side using PHP. Two most important thing you need to consider.

1. $_POST['g-recaptcha-response']

2.$secretKey = '6LeycSQTAAAAAMM3AeG62pBslQZwBTwCbzeKt06V';

$verifydata = file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret='.$secretKey.'&response='.$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']);
        $response= json_decode($verifydata);

Changing selection in a select with the Chosen plugin

From the "Updating Chosen Dynamically" section in the docs: You need to trigger the 'chosen:updated' event on the field

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('select').chosen();

    $('button').click(function() {
        $('select').val(2);
        $('select').trigger("chosen:updated");
    });

});

NOTE: versions prior to 1.0 used the following:

$('select').trigger("liszt:updated");

Algorithm to find all Latitude Longitude locations within a certain distance from a given Lat Lng location

How do I concatenate strings with variables in PowerShell?

You could use the PowerShell equivalent of String.Format - it's usually the easiest way to build up a string. Place {0}, {1}, etc. where you want the variables in the string, put a -f immediately after the string and then the list of variables separated by commas.

Get-ChildItem c:\code|%{'{0}\{1}\{2}.dll' -f $_.fullname,$buildconfig,$_.name}

(I've also taken the dash out of the $buildconfig variable name as I have seen that causes issues before too.)

Word wrap for a label in Windows Forms

This helped me in my Form called InpitWindow: In Designer for Label:

        lbCaption.Margin.Right - lbCaption.Margin.Left, 
        Screen.GetWorkingArea(this).Height / 2);
    this.Height = this.Height + (lbCaption.Height - btOK.Height - btCancel.Height);
    //Uncomment this line to prevent form height chage to values lower than initial height
    //this.MinimumSize = new Size(this.MinimumSize.Width, this.Height);
}
//Use this handler if you want your label change it size according to form clientsize.
private void InputWindow_ClientSizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    lbCaption.MaximumSize = new Size(this.ClientSize.Width - btOK.Width - btOK.Margin.Left * 2 - btOK.Margin.Right * 2 -
        lbCaption.Margin.Right * 2 - lbCaption.Margin.Left * 2,

How do I get monitor resolution in Python?

Using Linux Instead of regexp take the first line and take out the current resolution values.

Current resolution of display :0

>>> screen = os.popen("xrandr -q -d :0").readlines()[0]
>>> print screen
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1920
>>> width = screen.split()[7]
>>> print width
1920
>>> height = screen.split()[9][:-1]
>>> print height
1080
>>> print "Current resolution is %s x %s" % (width,height)
Current resolution is 1920 x 1080

This was done on xrandr 1.3.5, I don't know if the output is different on other versions, but this should make it easy to figure out.

How can I update the current line in a C# Windows Console App?

I was doing a search for this to see if the solution I wrote could be optimised for speed. What I wanted was a countdown timer, not just updating the current line. Here's what I came up with. Might be useful to someone

            int sleepTime = 5 * 60;    // 5 minutes

            for (int secondsRemaining = sleepTime; secondsRemaining > 0; secondsRemaining --)
            {
                double minutesPrecise = secondsRemaining / 60;
                double minutesRounded = Math.Round(minutesPrecise, 0);
                int seconds = Convert.ToInt32((minutesRounded * 60) - secondsRemaining);
                Console.Write($"\rProcess will resume in {minutesRounded}:{String.Format("{0:D2}", -seconds)} ");
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("");

SQL Server: UPDATE a table by using ORDER BY

You can not use ORDER BY as part of the UPDATE statement (you can use in sub-selects that are part of the update).

FROM Test
INNER JOIN 
(SELECT ID, row_number() OVER (ORDER BY ID DESC) as rowNumber
FROM Test) drRowNumbers ON drRowNumbers.ID = Test.ID

String split on new line, tab and some number of spaces

Just use .strip(), it removes all whitespace for you, including tabs and newlines, while splitting. The splitting itself can then be done with data_string.splitlines():

[s.strip() for s in data_string.splitlines()]

Output:

>>> [s.strip() for s in data_string.splitlines()]
['Name: John Smith', 'Home: Anytown USA', 'Phone: 555-555-555', 'Other Home: Somewhere Else', 'Notes: Other data', 'Name: Jane Smith', 'Misc: Data with spaces']

You can even inline the splitting on : as well now:

>>> [s.strip().split(': ') for s in data_string.splitlines()]
[['Name', 'John Smith'], ['Home', 'Anytown USA'], ['Phone', '555-555-555'], ['Other Home', 'Somewhere Else'], ['Notes', 'Other data'], ['Name', 'Jane Smith'], ['Misc', 'Data with spaces']]

Case-insensitive string comparison in C++

Take advantage of the standard char_traits. Recall that a std::string is in fact a typedef for std::basic_string<char>, or more explicitly, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char> >. The char_traits type describes how characters compare, how they copy, how they cast etc. All you need to do is typedef a new string over basic_string, and provide it with your own custom char_traits that compare case insensitively.

struct ci_char_traits : public char_traits<char> {
    static bool eq(char c1, char c2) { return toupper(c1) == toupper(c2); }
    static bool ne(char c1, char c2) { return toupper(c1) != toupper(c2); }
    static bool lt(char c1, char c2) { return toupper(c1) <  toupper(c2); }
    static int compare(const char* s1, const char* s2, size_t n) {
        while( n-- != 0 ) {
            if( toupper(*s1) < toupper(*s2) ) return -1;
            if( toupper(*s1) > toupper(*s2) ) return 1;
            ++s1; ++s2;
        }
        return 0;
    }
    static const char* find(const char* s, int n, char a) {
        while( n-- > 0 && toupper(*s) != toupper(a) ) {
            ++s;
        }

How to copy data from another workbook (excel)?

I was in need of copying the data from one workbook to another using VBA. The requirement was as mentioned below 1. On pressing an Active X button open the dialogue to select the file from which the data needs to be copied. 2. On clicking OK the value should get copied from a cell / range to currently working workbook.

I did not want to use the open function because it opens the workbook which will be annoying

Below is the code that I wrote in the VBA. Any improvement or new alternative is welcome.

Code: Here I am copying the A1:C4 content from a workbook to the A1:C4 of current workbook

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
        Dim BackUp As String
        Dim cellCollection As New Collection
        Dim strSourceSheetName As String
        Dim strDestinationSheetName As String
        strSourceSheetName = "Sheet1" 'Mention the Source Sheet Name of Source Workbook
        strDestinationSheetName = "Sheet2" 'Mention the Destination Sheet Name of Destination Workbook


        Set cellCollection = GetCellsFromRange("A1:C4") 'Mention the Range you want to copy data from Source Workbook

        With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

Execution Failed for task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac in Android Studio

I faced this issue after upgrading the Android studio to version 2.2.2, I solved it by using embedded JDK as recommended : enter image description here

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow. (Adding integers)

2055786000 + 93552000 = 2149338000, which is greater than 2^31. So if you're using signed integers coded on 4 bytes, the result of the operation doesn't fit and you get an overflow exception.

Simplest way to form a union of two lists

If it is a list, you can also use AddRange method.

var listB = new List<int>{3, 4, 5};  
var listA = new List<int>{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

listA.AddRange(listB); // listA now has elements of listB also.

If you need new list (and exclude the duplicate), you can use Union

  var listB = new List<int>{3, 4, 5};  
  var listA = new List<int>{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  var listFinal = listA.Union(listB);

If you need new list (and include the duplicate), you can use Concat

  var listB = new List<int>{3, 4, 5};  
  var listA = new List<int>{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  var listFinal = listA.Concat(listB);

If you need common items, you can use Intersect.

var listB = new List<int>{3, 4, 5};  
var listA = new List<int>{1, 2, 3, 4};  
var listFinal = listA.Intersect(listB); //3,4

Installation Issue with matplotlib Python

Problem Cause

In mac os image rendering back end of matplotlib (what-is-a-backend to render using the API of Cocoa by default). There are Qt4Agg and GTKAgg and as a back-end is not the default. Set the back end of macosx that is differ compare with other windows or linux os.

Solution

  • I assume you have installed the pip matplotlib, there is a directory in your root called ~/.matplotlib.
  • Create a file ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc there and add the following code: backend: TkAgg

How to avoid reverse engineering of an APK file?

Developers can take following steps to prevent an APK from theft somehow,

  • the most basic way is to use tools like ProGuard to obfuscate their code, but up until now, it has been quite difficult to completely prevent someone from decompiling an app.

  • Also I have heard about a tool HoseDex2Jar. It stops Dex2Jar by inserting harmless code in an Android APK that confuses and disables Dex2Jar and protects the code from decompilation. It could somehow prevent hackers from decompiling an APK into readable java code.

  • Use some server side application to communicate with the application only when it is needed. It could help prevent the important data.

At all, you can not completely protect your code from the potential hackers. Somehow, you could make it difficult and a bit frustrating task for them to decompile your code. One of the most efficient way is to write in native code(C/C++) and store it as compiled libraries.

Why I am getting Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference error when I am using bindParam with a constant value?

If you want to insert NULL only when the value is empty or '', but insert the value when it is available.

A) Receives the form data using POST method, and calls function insert with those values.

insert( $_POST['productId'], // Will be set to NULL if empty    
        $_POST['productName'] ); // Will be to NULL if empty                                

B) Evaluates if a field was not filled up by the user, and inserts NULL if that's the case.

public function insert( $productId, $productName )
{ 
    $sql = "INSERT INTO products (  productId, productName ) 
                VALUES ( :productId, :productName )";

    //IMPORTANT: Repace $db with your PDO instance
    $query = $db->prepare($sql); 

    //Works with INT, FLOAT, ETC.
    $query->bindValue(':productId',  !empty($productId)   ? $productId   : NULL, PDO::PARAM_INT); 

    //Works with strings.
    $query->bindValue(':productName',!empty($productName) ? $productName : NULL, PDO::PARAM_STR);   

    $query->execute();      
}

For instance, if the user doesn't input anything on the productName field of the form, then $productName will be SET but EMPTY. So, you need check if it is empty(), and if it is, then insert NULL.

How to set the size of a column in a Bootstrap responsive table

Bootstrap 4.0

Be aware of all migration changes from Bootstrap 3 to 4. On the table you now need to enable flex box by adding the class d-flex, and drop the xs to allow bootstrap to automatically detect the viewport.

<div class="container-fluid">
    <table id="productSizes" class="table">
        <thead>
            <tr class="d-flex">
                <th class="col-1">Size</th>
                <th class="col-3">Bust</th>
                <th class="col-3">Waist</th>
                <th class="col-5">Hips</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr class="d-flex">
                <td class="col-1">6</td>
                <td class="col-3">79 - 81</td>
                <td class="col-3">61 - 63</td>
                <td class="col-5">89 - 91</td>
            </tr>
            <tr class="d-flex">
                <td class="col-1">8</td>
                <td class="col-3">84 - 86</td>
                <td class="col-3">66 - 68</td>
                <td class="col-5">94 - 96</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>

Bootstrap 3.2

Table column width use the same layout as grids do; using col-[viewport]-[size]. Remember the column sizes should total 12; 1 + 3 + 3 + 5 = 12 in this example.

        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th class="col-xs-1">Size</th>
                <th class="col-xs-3">Bust</th>
                <th class="col-xs-3">Waist</th>
                <th class="col-xs-5">Hips</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>

Remember to set the <th> elements rather than the <td> elements so it sets the whole column. Here is a working BOOTPLY.

Thanks to @Dan for reminding me to always work mobile view (col-xs-*) first.

How to check if a file is a valid image file?

One option is to use the filetype package.

Installation

python -m pip install filetype

Advantages

  1. Quick: Does its work by loading the first few bytes of your image (check on the magic number)
  2. Supports different mime type: Images, Videos, Fonts, Audio, Archives.

Example

filetype >= 1.0.7

import filetype

filename = "/path/to/file.jpg"

if filetype.is_image(filename):
    print(f"{filename} is a valid image...")
elif filetype.is_video(filename):
    print(f"{filename} is a valid video...")

filetype <= 1.0.6

import filetype

filename = "/path/to/file.jpg"

if filetype.image(filename):
    print(f"{filename} is a valid image...")
elif filetype.video(filename):
    print(f"{filename} is a valid video...")

Http Post request with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded not working in Spring

The solution can be found here https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/22734

you can create two separate post request mappings. For example.

@PostMapping(path = "/test", consumes = "application/json")
public String test(@RequestBody User user) {
  return user.toString();
}

@PostMapping(path = "/test", consumes = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
public String test(User user) {
  return user.toString();
}

How to map calculated properties with JPA and Hibernate

You have three options:

  • either you are calculating the attribute using a @Transient method
  • you can also use @PostLoad entity listener
  • or you can use the Hibernate specific @Formula annotation

While Hibernate allows you to use @Formula, with JPA, you can use the @PostLoad callback to populate a transient property with the result of some calculation:

@Column(name = "price")
private Double price;

@Column(name = "tax_percentage")
private Double taxes;

@Transient
private Double priceWithTaxes;

@PostLoad
private void onLoad() {
    this.priceWithTaxes = price * taxes;
}

So, you can use the Hibernate @Formula like this:

@Formula("""
    round(
       (interestRate::numeric / 100) *
       cents *
       date_part('month', age(now(), createdOn)
    )
    / 12)
    / 100::numeric
    """)
private double interestDollars;

How to Completely Uninstall Xcode and Clear All Settings

FOR UNINSTALLING AND THEN BEING ABLE TO REINSTALL XCODE 9 CORRECTLY

I followed the topmost answer for deleting Xcode 7 and found a major error, deleting ~/Library/Developer will delete an important folder called PrivateFrameworks, which will actually crash Xcode everytime you reinstall and force you to have to get your friends to send you the PrivateFrameworks folder again, a complete waste of time seeing if you needed to uninstall and reinstall Xcode urgently for immediate work purposes.

I have tried editing the topmost answer but see no changes so below is the modified steps you should take for Xcode 9:

Delete

/Applications/Xcode.app

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.* (Generally anything with com.apple.dt. as prefix is removable in the Preferences folder)

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode

~/Library/Application Support/Xcode

Everything in /Library/Developer directory except for /Library/Developer/PrivateFrameworks

Putting an if-elif-else statement on one line?

if i > 100:
    x = 2
elif i < 100:
    x = 1
else:
    x = 0

If you want to use the above-mentioned code in one line, you can use the following:

x = 2 if i > 100 else 1 if i < 100 else 0

On doing so, x will be assigned 2 if i > 100, 1 if i < 100 and 0 if i = 100

Refresh Fragment at reload

I had the same issue but none of the above worked for mine. either there was a backstack problem (after loading when user pressed back it would to go the same fragment again) or it didnt call the onCreaetView

finally i did this:

public void transactFragment(Fragment fragment, boolean reload) {
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    transaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
    if (reload) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
    }
    transaction.replace(R.id.main_activity_frame_layout, fragment);
    transaction.addToBackStack(null);
    transaction.commit();
}

good point is you dont need the tag or id of the fragment either. if you want to reload

Convert Difference between 2 times into Milliseconds?

To answer the title-question:

DateTime d1 = ...;
DateTime d2 = ...;
TimeSpan diff = d2 - d1;

int millisceonds = (int) diff.TotalMilliseconds;

You can use this to set a Timer:

timer1.interval = millisceonds;
timer1.Enabled = true;

Don't forget to disable the timer when handling the tick.

But if you want an event at 12:03, just substitute DateTime.Now for d1.

But it is not clear what the exact function of textBox1 and textBox2 are.

jQuery Selector: Id Ends With?

The answer to the question is $("[id$='txtTitle']"), as Mark Hurd answered, but for those who, like me, want to find all the elements with an id which starts with a given string (for example txtTitle), try this (doc) :

$("[id^='txtTitle']")

If you want to select elements which id contains a given string (doc) :

$("[id*='txtTitle']")

If you want to select elements which id is not a given string (doc) :

$("[id!='myValue']")

(it also matches the elements that don't have the specified attribute)

If you want to select elements which id contains a given word, delimited by spaces (doc) :

$("[id~='myValue']")

If you want to select elements which id is equal to a given string or starting with that string followed by a hyphen (doc) :

$("[id|='myValue']")

Need table of key codes for android and presenter

This is so out of date, but in case someone googles this, I have the same issue and figured it out.

If you use KeyEvent Viewer, volume up has a code=24, but a scanCode of 115.

Now my USB controller, only has code=# and all scanCodes are 0. But my airmouse (Mele F10) has all keys with codes and scan codes, but the scancode is what you have to put in the .kl file.

Hope this helps someone out there.

How to modify the nodejs request default timeout time?

Linking to express issue #3330

You may set the timeout either globally for entire server:

var server = app.listen();
server.setTimeout(500000);

or just for specific route:

app.post('/xxx', function (req, res) {
   req.setTimeout(500000);
});

What range of values can integer types store in C++

In C++, now int and other data is stored using 2's compliment method. That means the range is:

-2147483648 to 2147483647

or -2^31 to 2^31-1

1 bit is reserved for 0 so positive value is one less than 2^(31)

Where in an Eclipse workspace is the list of projects stored?

In Eclipse 3.3:

It's installed under your Eclipse workspace. Something like:

.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\

within your workspace folder.

Under that folder is one folder per project. There's a file in there called .location, but it's binary.

So it looks like you can't do what you want, without interacting w/ Eclipse programmatically.

Laravel, sync() - how to sync an array and also pass additional pivot fields?

Putting this here in case I forget it later and Google it again.

In my case I wanted the extra column to have the same data for each row

Where $syncData is an array of IDs:

$syncData = array_map(fn($locationSysid) => ['other_column' => 'foo'], array_flip($syncData));

or without arrow

$syncData = array_map(function($locationSysid) {
      return ['ENTITY' => 'dbo.Cli_Core'];
   }, array_flip($syncData));

(array_flip means we're using the IDs as the index for the array)

I think the first step is for Apple to talk to banks and find more ways of securing cards and NFC before This will be allowed

How to change text and background color?

Colors are bit-encoded. If You want to change the Text color in C++ language There are many ways. In the console, you can change the properties of output.click this icon of the console and go to properties and change color.

The second way is calling the system colors.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    //Changing Font Colors of the System

    system("Color 7C");
    cout << "\t\t\t ****CEB Electricity Bill Calculator****\t\t\t " << endl;
    cout << "\t\t\t  ***                MENU           ***\t\t\t  " <<endl;

    return 0;

}

Find the item with maximum occurrences in a list

In your question, you asked for the fastest way to do it. As has been demonstrated repeatedly, particularly with Python, intuition is not a reliable guide: you need to measure.

Here's a simple test of several different implementations:

import sys
from collections import Counter, defaultdict
from itertools import groupby
from operator import itemgetter
from timeit import timeit

L = [1,2,45,55,5,4,4,4,4,4,4,5456,56,6,7,67]

def max_occurrences_1a(seq=L):
    "dict iteritems"
    c = dict()
    for item in seq:
        c[item] = c.get(item, 0) + 1
    return max(c.iteritems(), key=itemgetter(1))

def max_occurrences_1b(seq=L):
    "dict items"
    c = dict()
    for item in seq:
        c[item] = c.get(item, 0) + 1
    return max(c.items(), key=itemgetter(1))

def max_occurrences_2(seq=L):
    "defaultdict iteritems"
    c = defaultdict(int)
    for item in seq:
        c[item] += 1
    return max(c.iteritems(), key=itemgetter(1))

def max_occurrences_3a(seq=L):
    "sort groupby generator expression"
    return max(((k, sum(1 for i in g)) for k, g in groupby(sorted(seq))), key=itemgetter(1))

def max_occurrences_3b(seq=L):
    "sort groupby list comprehension"
    return max([(k, sum(1 for i in g)) for k, g in groupby(sorted(seq))], key=itemgetter(1))

def max_occurrences_4(seq=L):
    "counter"
    return Counter(L).most_common(1)[0]

versions = [max_occurrences_1a, max_occurrences_1b, max_occurrences_2, max_occurrences_3a, max_occurrences_3b, max_occurrences_4]

print sys.version, "\n"

for vers in versions:

The results on my machine:

[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] 

dict iteritems (4, 6) 0.202214956284
dict items (4, 6) 0.208412885666
defaultdict iteritems (4, 6) 0.221301078796
sort groupby generator expression (4, 6) 0.383440971375
sort groupby list comprehension (4, 6) 0.402786016464
counter (4, 6) 0.564319133759

So it appears that the Counter solution is not the fastest. And, in this case at least, groupby is faster. defaultdict is good but you pay a little bit for its convenience; it's slightly faster to use a regular dict with a get.

What happens if the list is much bigger? Adding L *= 10000 to the test above and reducing the repeat count to 200:

dict iteritems (4, 60000) 10.3451900482
dict items (4, 60000) 10.2988479137
defaultdict iteritems (4, 60000) 5.52838587761
sort groupby generator expression (4, 60000) 11.9538850784
sort groupby list comprehension (4, 60000) 12.1327362061
counter (4, 60000) 14.7495789528

Now defaultdict is the clear winner. So perhaps the cost of the 'get' method and the loss of the inplace add adds up (an examination of the generated code is left as an exercise).

But with the modified test data, the number of unique item values did not change so presumably dict and defaultdict have an advantage there over the other implementations. So what happens if we use the bigger list but substantially increase the number of unique items? Replacing the initialization of L with:

LL = [1,2,45,55,5,4,4,4,4,4,4,5456,56,6,7,67]
L = []
for i in xrange(1,10001):
    L.extend(l * i for l in LL)

dict iteritems (2520, 13) 17.9935798645
dict items (2520, 13) 21.8974409103
defaultdict iteritems (2520, 13) 16.8289561272
sort groupby generator expression (2520, 13) 33.853593111
sort groupby list comprehension (2520, 13) 36.1303369999
counter (2520, 13) 22.626899004

So now Counter is clearly faster than the groupby solutions but still slower than the iteritems versions of dict and defaultdict.

The point of these examples isn't to produce an optimal solution. The point is that there often isn't one optimal general solution. Plus there are other performance criteria. The memory requirements will differ substantially among the solutions and, as the size of the input goes up, memory requirements may become the overriding factor in algorithm selection.

Bottom line: it all depends and you need to measure.

How to empty a list in C#?

Advantages of SQL Server 2008 over SQL Server 2005?

Be aware that a lot of the really killer features are only in Enterprise Edition. Data compression and backup compression are among two of my top favorites - they give you free performance improvements right off the bat. Data compression lessens the amount of I/O you have to do, so a lot of queries speed up 20-40%. CPU use goes up, but in today's multi-core environments, we often have more CPU power but not more IO. Anyway, those are only in Enterprise.

If you're only going to use Standard Edition, then most of the improvements require changes to your application code and T-SQL code, so it's not quite as easy of a sell.

Set Culture in an ASP.Net MVC app

I know this is an old question, but if you really would like to have this working with your ModelBinder (in respect to DefaultModelBinder.ResourceClassKey = "MyResource"; as well as the resources indicated in the data annotations of the viewmodel classes), the controller or even an ActionFilter is too late to set the culture.

The culture could be set in Application_AcquireRequestState, for example:

protected void Application_AcquireRequestState(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // For example a cookie, but better extract it from the url
        string culture = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["culture"].Value;

        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(culture);
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(culture);
    }

EDIT

Actually there is a better way using a custom routehandler which sets the culture according to the url, perfectly described by Alex Adamyan on his blog.

All there is to do is to override the GetHttpHandler method and set the culture there.

public class MultiCultureMvcRouteHandler : MvcRouteHandler
{
    protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
    {
        // get culture from route data
        var culture = requestContext.RouteData.Values["culture"].ToString();
        var ci = new CultureInfo(culture);
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(ci.Name);
        return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext);
    }
}

Handling errors in Promise.all

Alternately, if you have a case where you don't particularly care about the values of the resolved promises when there is one failure but you still want them to have run, you could do something like this which will resolve with the promises as normal when they all succeed and reject with the failed promises when any of them fail:

function promiseNoReallyAll (promises) {
  return new Promise(
    async (resolve, reject) => {
      const failedPromises = []

      const successfulPromises = await Promise.all(
        promises.map(
          promise => promise.catch(error => {
            failedPromises.push(error)
          })
        )
      )

      if (failedPromises.length) {
        reject(failedPromises)
      } else {
        resolve(successfulPromises)
      }
    }
  )
}

How to set TLS version on apache HttpClient

Since this only came up hidden in comments, difficult to find as a solution:

You can use java -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1, but you need to use also useSystemProperties()

client = HttpClientBuilder.create().useSystemProperties();

We use this setup in our system now as this enables us to set this only for some usage of the code. In our case we still have some Java 7 running and one API end point disallowed TLSv1, so we use java -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 to enable current TLS versions. Thanks @jebeaudet for pointing in this direction.

How to Generate Unique Public and Private Key via RSA

When you use a code like this:

using (var rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(1024))
{
   // Do something with the key...
   // Encrypt, export, etc.
}

.NET (actually Windows) stores your key in a persistent key container forever. The container is randomly generated by .NET

This means:

  1. Any random RSA/DSA key you have EVER generated for the purpose of protecting data, creating custom X.509 certificate, etc. may have been exposed without your awareness in the Windows file system. Accessible by anyone who has access to your account.

  2. Your disk is being slowly filled with data. Normally not a big concern but it depends on your application (e.g. it might generates hundreds of keys every minute).

To resolve these issues:

using (var rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(1024))
{
   try
   {
      // Do something with the key...
      // Encrypt, export, etc.
   }
   finally
   {
      rsa.PersistKeyInCsp = false;
   }
}

How to increment datetime by custom months in python without using library

Use the monthdelta package, it works just like timedelta but for calendar months rather than days/hours/etc.

Here's an example:

from monthdelta import MonthDelta

def prev_month(date):
    """Back one month and preserve day if possible"""
    return date + MonthDelta(-1)

Compare that to the DIY approach:

def prev_month(date):
    """Back one month and preserve day if possible"""
   day_of_month = date.day
   if day_of_month != 1:
           date = date.replace(day=1)
   date -= datetime.timedelta(days=1)
   while True:
           try:
                   date = date.replace(day=day_of_month)
                   return date
           except ValueError:
                   day_of_month -= 1               

Using PowerShell to remove lines from a text file if it contains a string

Suppose you want to write that in the same file, you can do as follows:

Set-Content -Path "C:\temp\Newtext.txt" -Value (get-content -Path "c:\Temp\Newtext.txt" | Select-String -Pattern 'H\|159' -NotMatch)

Java string split with "." (dot)

The dot "." is a special character in java regex engine, so you have to use "\\." to escape this character:

final String extensionRemoved = filename.split("\\.")[0];

I hope this helps

MySQL: Large VARCHAR vs. TEXT?

Varchar is for small data like email addresses, while Text is for much bigger data like news articles, Blob for binary data such as images.

The performance of Varchar is more powerful because it runs completely from memory, but this will not be the case if data is too big like varchar(4000) for example.

Text, on the other hand, does not stick to memory and is affected by disk performance, but you can avoid that by separating text data in a separate table and apply a left join query to retrieve text data.

Blob is much slower so use it only if you don't have much data like 10000 images which will cost 10000 records.

Follow these tips for maximum speed and performance:

  1. Use varchar for name, titles, emails

  2. Use Text for large data

  3. Separate text in different tables

  4. Use Left Join queries on an ID such as a phone number

  5. If you are going to use Blob apply the same tips as in Text

This will make queries cost milliseconds on tables with data >10 M and size up to 10GB guaranteed.

ASP.NET MVC Return Json Result?

It should be :

public async Task<ActionResult> GetSomeJsonData()
{
    var model = // ... get data or build model etc.

    return Json(new { Data = model }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); 
}

or more simply:

return Json(model, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); 

I did notice that you are calling GetResources() from another ActionResult which wont work. If you are looking to get JSON back, you should be calling GetResources() from ajax directly...

Django Multiple Choice Field / Checkbox Select Multiple

Best way to return a value from a python script

If you want your script to return values, just do return [1,2,3] from a function wrapping your code but then you'd have to import your script from another script to even have any use for that information:

Return values (from a wrapping-function)

(again, this would have to be run by a separate Python script and be imported in order to even do any good):

import ...
def main():
    # calculate stuff
    return [1,2,3]

Exit codes as indicators

(This is generally just good for when you want to indicate to a governor what went wrong or simply the number of bugs/rows counted or w/e. Normally 0 is a good exit and >=1 is a bad exit but you could inter-prate them in any way you want to get data out of it)

import sys
# calculate and stuff
sys.exit(100)

And exit with a specific exit code depending on what you want that to tell your governor. I used exit codes when running script by a scheduling and monitoring environment to indicate what has happened.

(os._exit(100) also works, and is a bit more forceful)

Stdout as your relay

If not you'd have to use stdout to communicate with the outside world (like you've described). But that's generally a bad idea unless it's a parser executing your script and can catch whatever it is you're reporting to.

import sys
# calculate stuff
sys.stdout.write('Bugs: 5|Other: 10\n')
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.exit(0)

Are you running your script in a controlled scheduling environment then exit codes are the best way to go.

Files as conveyors

There's also the option to simply write information to a file, and store the result there.

# calculate
with open('finish.txt', 'wb') as fh:
    fh.write(str(5)+'\n')

And pick up the value/result from there. You could even do it in a CSV format for others to read simplistically.

Sockets as conveyors

If none of the above work, you can also use network sockets locally *(unix sockets is a great way on nix systems). These are a bit more intricate and deserve their own post/answer. But editing to add it here as it's a good option to communicate between processes. Especially if they should run multiple tasks and return values.

how can I connect to a remote mongo server from Mac OS terminal

Another way to do this is:

mongo mongodb://mongoDbIPorDomain:port

add created_at and updated_at fields to mongoose schemas

I actually do this in the back

If all goes well with the updating:

 // All ifs passed successfully. Moving on the Model.save
    Model.lastUpdated = Date.now(); // <------ Now!
    Model.save(function (err, result) {
      if (err) {
        return res.status(500).json({
          title: 'An error occured',
          error: err
        });
      }
      res.status(200).json({
        message: 'Model Updated',
        obj: result
      });
    });

Simulate user input in bash script

You should find the 'expect' command will do what you need it to do. Its widely available. See here for an example : http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/10/expect-examples/

(very rough example)

#!/usr/bin/expect
set pass "mysecret"

spawn /usr/bin/passwd

expect "password: "
send "$pass"
expect "password: "
send "$pass"

how to get selected row value in the KendoUI

There is better way. I'm using it in pages where I'm using kendo angularJS directives and grids has'nt IDs...

}

Can we overload the main method in Java?

Yes you can Overload main method but in any class there should be only one method with signature public static void main(string args[]) where your application starts Execution, as we know in any language Execution starts from Main method.

package rh1;

public class someClass 
{

    public static void main(String... args)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello world");

        main("d");
        main(10);
    }
    public static void main(int s)
    {

        System.out.println("Beautiful world");
    }
    public static void main(String s)
    {
        System.out.println("Bye world");
    }
}

How to select last one week data from today's date

  1. The query is correct

2A. As far as last seven days have much less rows than whole table an index can help

2B. If you are interested only in Created_Date you can try using some group by and count, it should help with the result set size

How to increase the execution timeout in php?

First check the php.ini file path by phpinfo(); and then changed PHP.INI params:

upload_max_filesize = 1000M
memory_limit = 1500M
post_max_size = 1500M
max_execution_time = 30

restarted Apache

set_time_limit(0); // safe_mode is off

ini_set('max_execution_time', 500); //500 seconds

Note: you can also use command to find php.ini in Linux

locate `php.ini`

jQuery Remove string from string

If you just want to remove "username1" you can use a simple replace.

name.replace("username1,", "")

or you could use split like you mentioned.

var name = "username1, username2 and username3 like this post.".split(",")[1];      
$("h1").text(name);

Why Choose Struct Over Class?

I wouldn't say that structs offer less functionality.

Sure, self is immutable except in a mutating function, but that's about it.

Inheritance works fine as long as you stick to the good old idea that every class should be either abstract or final.

Implement abstract classes as protocols and final classes as structs.

The nice thing about structs is that you can make your fields mutable without creating shared mutable state because copy on write takes care of that :)

That's why the properties / fields in the following example are all mutable, which I would not do in Java or C# or swift classes.

Example inheritance structure with a bit of dirty and straightforward usage at the bottom in the function named "example":

protocol EventVisitor
{
    func visit(event: TimeEvent)
    func visit(event: StatusEvent)
}

protocol Event
{
    var ts: Int64 { get set }

    func accept(visitor: EventVisitor)
}

struct TimeEvent : Event
{
    var ts: Int64
    var time: Int64

    func accept(visitor: EventVisitor)
    {
        visitor.visit(self)
    }
}

protocol StatusEventVisitor
{
    func visit(event: StatusLostStatusEvent)
    func visit(event: StatusChangedStatusEvent)
}

protocol StatusEvent : Event
{
    var deviceId: Int64 { get set }

    func accept(visitor: StatusEventVisitor)
}

struct StatusLostStatusEvent : StatusEvent
{
    var ts: Int64
    var deviceId: Int64
    var reason: String

    func accept(visitor: EventVisitor)
    {
        visitor.visit(self)
    }

    func accept(visitor: StatusEventVisitor)
    {
        visitor.visit(self)
    }
}

struct StatusChangedStatusEvent : StatusEvent
{
    var ts: Int64
    var deviceId: Int64
    var newStatus: UInt32
    var oldStatus: UInt32

    func accept(visitor: EventVisitor)
    {
        visitor.visit(self)
    }

    func accept(visitor: StatusEventVisitor)
    {
        visitor.visit(self)
    }
}

func readEvent(fd: Int) -> Event
{
    return TimeEvent(ts: 123, time: 56789)
}

func example()
{
    class Visitor : EventVisitor
    {
        var status: UInt32 = 3;

        func visit(event: TimeEvent)
        {
            print("A time event: \(event)")
        }

        func visit(event: StatusEvent)
        {
            print("A status event: \(event)")

            if let change = event as? StatusChangedStatusEvent
            {
                status = change.newStatus
            }
        }
    }

    let visitor = Visitor()

    readEvent(1).accept(visitor)

    print("status: \(visitor.status)")
}

notifyDataSetChanged example

You can use the runOnUiThread() method as follows. If you're not using a ListActivity, just adapt the code to get a reference to your ArrayAdapter.

final ArrayAdapter adapter = ((ArrayAdapter)getListAdapter());
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
});

Grid

CSS's grid layout offers yet another option, though it may not be as straightforward as the Flexbox model. However, it only requires styling the container element:

.container { display: grid; grid-template-rows: 100px }

The grid-template-rows defines the first row as a fixed 100px height, and the remain rows will automatically stretch to fill the remaining space.

I'm pretty sure IE11 requires -ms- prefixes, so make sure to validate the functionality in the browsers you wish to support.

Flexbox

CSS3's Flexible Box Layout Module (flexbox) is now well-supported and can be very easy to implement. Because it is flexible, it even works when #up does not have a defined height.

#container { display: flex; flex-direction: column; }
#down { flex-grow: 1; }

It's important to note that IE10 & IE11 support for some flexbox properties can be buggy, and IE9 or below has no support at all.

Calculated Height

Another easy solution is to use the CSS3 calc functional unit, as Alvaro points out in his answer, but it requires the height of the first child to be a known value:

#up { height: 100px; }
#down { height: calc( 100% - 100px ); }

It is pretty widely supported, with the only notable exceptions being <= IE8 or Safari 5 (no support) and IE9 (partial support). Some other issues include using calc in conjunction with transform or box-shadow, so be sure to test in multiple browsers if that is of concern to you.

Other Alternatives

If older support is needed, you could add height:100%; to #down will make the pink div full height, with one caveat. It will cause overflow for the container, because #up is pushing it down.

Therefore, you could add overflow: hidden; to the container to fix that.

Alternatively, if the height of #up is fixed, you could position it absolutely within the container, and add a padding-top to #down.

And, yet another option would be to use a table display:

#container { width: 300px; height: 300px; border: 1px solid red; display: table;}
#up { background: green; display: table-row; height: 0; }
#down { background: pink; display: table-row;}?

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {XXXX} failed due to the following error: 80040154

I ran into a very similar issue.

I needed to use an old 32-bit DLL within a Web Application that was being developed on a 64-bit machine. I registered the 32-bit DLL into the windows\sysWOW64 folder using the version of regsrv32 in that folder.

Calls to the third party DLL worked from unit tests in Visual Studio but failed from the Web Application hosted in IIS on the same machine with the 80040154 error.

Changing the application pool to "Enable 32-Bit Applications" resolved the issue.

Find p-value (significance) in scikit-learn LinearRegression

An easy way to pull of the p-values is to use statsmodels regression:

import statsmodels.api as sm
mod = sm.OLS(Y,X)
fii = mod.fit()
p_values = fii.summary2().tables[1]['P>|t|']

You get a series of p-values that you can manipulate (for example choose the order you want to keep by evaluating each p-value):

Difference between SelectedItem, SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath

SelectedItem is an object. SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath are strings.

for example using the ListBox:

if you say give me listbox1.SelectedValue it will return the text of the currently selected item.

string value = listbox1.SelectedValue;

if you say give me listbox1.SelectedItem it will give you the entire object.

ListItem item = listbox1.SelectedItem;
string value = item.value;

Adding elements to a C# array

If you really won't (or can't) use a generic collection instead of your array, Array.Resize is c#'s version of redim preserve:

var  oldA = new [] {1,2,3,4};
Array.Resize(ref oldA,10);
foreach(var i in oldA) Console.WriteLine(i); //1 2 3 4 0 0 0 0 0 0

How to use range-based for() loop with std::map?

Each element of the container is a map<K, V>::value_type, which is a typedef for std::pair<const K, V>. Consequently, in C++17 or higher, you can write

for (auto& [key, value]: myMap) {
    std::cout << key << " has value " << value << std::endl;
}

or as

for (const auto& [key, value]: myMap) {
    std::cout << key << " has value " << value << std::endl;
}

if you don't plan on modifying the values.

In C++11 and C++14, you can use enhanced for loops to extract out each pair on its own, then manually extract the keys and values:

for (const auto& kv : myMap) {
    std::cout << kv.first << " has value " << kv.second << std::endl;
}

You could also consider marking the kv variable const if you want a read-only view of the values.

How to implement an STL-style iterator and avoid common pitfalls?

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/std/iterator/ has a handy chart that details the specs of § 24.2.2 of the C++11 standard. Basically, the iterators have tags that describe the valid operations, and the tags have a hierarchy. Below is purely symbolic, these classes don't actually exist as such.

iterator {
    iterator(const iterator&);
    ~iterator();
    iterator& operator=(const iterator&);
    iterator& operator++(); //prefix increment
    reference operator*() const;
    friend void swap(iterator& lhs, iterator& rhs); //C++11 I think
};

input_iterator : public virtual iterator {
    iterator operator++(int); //postfix increment
    value_type operator*() const;
    pointer operator->() const;
    friend bool operator==(const iterator&, const iterator&);
    friend bool operator!=(const iterator&, const iterator&); 
};
//once an input iterator has been dereferenced, it is 
//undefined to dereference one before that.

output_iterator : public virtual iterator {
    reference operator*() const;
    iterator operator++(int); //postfix increment
};
//dereferences may only be on the left side of an assignment
//once an output iterator has been dereferenced, it is 
//undefined to dereference one before that.

forward_iterator : input_iterator, output_iterator {
    forward_iterator();
};
//multiple passes allowed

bidirectional_iterator : forward_iterator {
    iterator& operator--(); //prefix decrement
    iterator operator--(int); //postfix decrement
};

random_access_iterator : bidirectional_iterator {
    friend bool operator<(const iterator&, const iterator&);
    friend bool operator>(const iterator&, const iterator&);
    friend bool operator<=(const iterator&, const iterator&);
    friend bool operator>=(const iterator&, const iterator&);

    iterator& operator+=(size_type);
    friend iterator operator+(const iterator&, size_type);
    friend iterator operator+(size_type, const iterator&);
    iterator& operator-=(size_type);  
    friend iterator operator-(const iterator&, size_type);
    friend difference_type operator-(iterator, iterator);

    reference operator[](size_type) const;
};

contiguous_iterator : random_access_iterator { //C++17
}; //elements are stored contiguously in memory.

You can either specialize std::iterator_traits<youriterator>, or put the same typedefs in the iterator itself, or inherit from std::iterator (which has these typedefs). I prefer the second option, to avoid changing things in the std namespace, and for readability, but most people inherit from std::iterator.

struct std::iterator_traits<youriterator> {        
    typedef ???? difference_type; //almost always ptrdiff_t
    typedef ???? value_type; //almost always T
    typedef ???? reference; //almost always T& or const T&
    typedef ???? pointer; //almost always T* or const T*
    typedef ???? iterator_category;  //usually std::forward_iterator_tag or similar
};

Note the iterator_category should be one of std::input_iterator_tag, std::output_iterator_tag, std::forward_iterator_tag, std::bidirectional_iterator_tag, or std::random_access_iterator_tag, depending on which requirements your iterator satisfies. Depending on your iterator, you may choose to specialize std::next, std::prev, std::advance, and std::distance as well, but this is rarely needed. In extremely rare cases you may wish to specialize std::begin and std::end.

Your container should probably also have a const_iterator, which is a (possibly mutable) iterator to constant data that is similar to your iterator except it should be implicitly constructable from a iterator and users should be unable to modify the data. It is common for its internal pointer to be a pointer to non-constant data, and have iterator inherit from const_iterator so as to minimize code duplication.

My post at Writing your own STL Container has a more complete container/iterator prototype.

How to convert from []byte to int in Go Programming

For encoding/decoding numbers to/from byte sequences, there's the encoding/binary package. There are examples in the documentation: see the Examples section in the table of contents.

These encoding functions operate on io.Writer interfaces. The net.TCPConn type implements io.Writer, so you can write/read directly to network connections.

If you've got a Go program on either side of the connection, you may want to look at using encoding/gob. See the article "Gobs of data" for a walkthrough of using gob (skip to the bottom to see a self-contained example).

CSS transition with visibility not working

This is not a bug- you can only transition on ordinal/calculable properties (an easy way of thinking of this is any property with a numeric start and end number value..though there are a few exceptions).

This is because transitions work by calculating keyframes between two values, and producing an animation by extrapolating intermediate amounts.

visibility in this case is a binary setting (visible/hidden), so once the transition duration elapses, the property simply switches state, you see this as a delay- but it can actually be seen as the final keyframe of the transition animation, with the intermediary keyframes not having been calculated (what constitutes the values between hidden/visible? Opacity? Dimension? As it is not explicit, they are not calculated).

opacity is a value setting (0-1), so keyframes can be calculated across the duration provided.

A list of transitionable (animatable) properties can be found here

How to cast a double to an int in Java by rounding it down?

Casting to an int implicitly drops any decimal. No need to call Math.floor() (assuming positive numbers)

Simply typecast with (int), e.g.:

System.out.println((int)(99.9999)); // Prints 99

This being said, it does have a different behavior from Math.floor which rounds towards negative infinity (@Chris Wong)

How to pass in a react component into another react component to transclude the first component's content?

Note I provided a more in-depth answer here

Runtime wrapper:

It's the most idiomatic way.

const Wrapper = ({children}) => (
  <div>
    <div>header</div>
    <div>{children}</div>
    <div>footer</div>
  </div>
);

const App = () => <div>Hello</div>;

const WrappedApp = () => (
  <Wrapper>
    <App/>
  </Wrapper>
);

Note that children is a "special prop" in React, and the example above is syntactic sugar and is (almost) equivalent to <Wrapper children={<App/>}/>


Initialization wrapper / HOC

You can use an Higher Order Component (HOC). They have been added to the official doc recently.

// Signature may look fancy but it's just 
// a function that takes a component and returns a new component
const wrapHOC = (WrappedComponent) => (props) => (
  <div>
    <div>header</div>
    <div><WrappedComponent {...props}/></div>
    <div>footer</div>
  </div>
)

const App = () => <div>Hello</div>;

const WrappedApp = wrapHOC(App);

This can lead to (little) better performances because the wrapper component can short-circuit the rendering one step ahead with shouldComponentUpdate, while in the case of a runtime wrapper, the children prop is likely to always be a different ReactElement and cause re-renders even if your components extend PureComponent.

Notice that connect of Redux used to be a runtime wrapper but was changed to an HOC because it permits to avoid useless re-renders if you use the pure option (which is true by default)

You should never call an HOC during the render phase because creating React components can be expensive. You should rather call these wrappers at initialization.


Note that when using functional components like above, the HOC version do not provide any useful optimisation because stateless functional components do not implement shouldComponentUpdate

Java optional parameters

There are no optional parameters in Java. What you can do is overloading the functions and then passing default values.

void SomeMethod(int age, String name) {
    //
}

// Overload
void SomeMethod(int age) {
    SomeMethod(age, "John Doe");
}

Google map V3 Set Center to specific Marker

To build upon @6twenty's answer...I prefer panTo(LatLng) over setCenter(LatLng) as panTo animates for smoother transition to center "if the change is less than both the width and height of the map". https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#Map

The below uses Google Maps API v3.

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
    title: markerTitle,
    map: map,
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
    map.panTo(marker.getPosition());
    //map.setCenter(marker.getPosition()); // sets center without animation
});

Async always WaitingForActivation

For my answer, it is worth remembering that the TPL (Task-Parallel-Library), Task class and TaskStatus enumeration were introduced prior to the async-await keywords and the async-await keywords were not the original motivation of the TPL.

In the context of methods marked as async, the resulting Task is not a Task representing the execution of the method, but a Task for the continuation of the method.

This is only able to make use of a few possible states:

  • Canceled
  • Faulted
  • RanToCompletion
  • WaitingForActivation

I understand that Runningcould appear to have been a better default than WaitingForActivation, however this could be misleading, as the majority of the time, an async method being executed is not actually running (i.e. it may be await-ing something else). The other option may have been to add a new value to TaskStatus, however this could have been a breaking change for existing applications and libraries.

All of this is very different to when making use of Task.Run which is a part of the original TPL, this is able to make use of all the possible values of the TaskStatus enumeration.

If you wish to keep track of the status of an async method, take a look at the IProgress(T) interface, this will allow you to report the ongoing progress. This blog post, Async in 4.5: Enabling Progress and Cancellation in Async APIs will provide further information on the use of the IProgress(T) interface.

"Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed" with phpMyAdmin in XAMPP

  1. Open phpMyAdmin in a browser and log in as root.
  2. Create a database called phpmyadmin
  3. Create a user called pma and set the "host" to the hostname or IP address of your web server (if the web server and MySQL are on the same box use localhost), make a note of the password, and grant the new user full control over the phpmyadmin database. It is recommended that this user does not have access to anything other than this database.
  4. Go to the phpMyAdmin installation directory, where you should find a sub-directory called sql.
  5. In sql you will find a file called create_tables.sql. Open it in a text editor.
  6. In phpMyAdmin, select the phpmyadmin database and click on the "SQL" tab.
  7. Copy/paste the entire text from create_tables.sql into the text box, and run the query.
  8. Open the config.inc.php file in the phpMyAdmin install directory, and add the following lines (or change the existing settings if they are already there):

    $cfg['Servers'][1]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['controluser'] = 'pma';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['controlpass'] = '<your password>';
    
    // Note: The list below may grow as PMA evolves and more control tables are added
    // Use your common sense! Don't just blindly copypasta, look at what it means!
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['history'] = 'pma_history';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['recent'] = 'pma_recent';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma_table_uiprefs';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
    $cfg['Servers'][1]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';
    
  9. Save and close the file.

IMPORTANT - PMA loads the config on login, evaluates it and stores it into the session data so the message will not disappear until you do this:

  1. Log out of phpMyAdmin and log in again

Problem solved.

Possible to iterate backwards through a foreach?

Elaborateling slighty on the nice answer by Jon Skeet, this could be versatile:

public static IEnumerable<T> Directional<T>(this IList<T> items, bool Forwards) {
    if (Forwards) foreach (T item in items) yield return item;
    else for (int i = items.Count-1; 0<=i; i--) yield return items[i];
}

And then use as

foreach (var item in myList.Directional(forwardsCondition)) {
    .
    .
}

Correct way of looping through C++ arrays

If you have a very short list of elements you would like to handle, you could use the std::initializer_list introduced in C++11 together with auto:

#include <iostream>

int main(int, char*[])
{
    for(const auto& ext : { ".slice", ".socket", ".service", ".target" })
        std::cout << "Handling *" << ext << " systemd files" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

IE prompts to open or save json result from server

Sadly, this is just another annoying quirk of using Internet Explorer.

Iterating over ResultSet and adding its value in an ArrayList

Just for the fun, I'm offering an alternative solution using jOOQ and Java 8. Instead of using jOOQ, you could be using any other API that maps JDBC ResultSet to List, such as Spring JDBC or Apache DbUtils, or write your own ResultSetIterator:

jOOQ 3.8 or less

List<Object> list =
DSL.using(connection)
   .fetch("SELECT col1, col2, col3, ...")
   .stream()
   .flatMap(r -> Arrays.stream(r.intoArray()))
   .collect(Collectors.toList());

jOOQ 3.9

List<Object> list =
DSL.using(connection)
   .fetch("SELECT col1, col2, col3, ...")
   .stream()
   .flatMap(Record::intoStream)
   .collect(Collectors.toList());

(Disclaimer, I work for the company behind jOOQ)

iFrame onload JavaScript event

Use the iFrame's .onload function of JavaScript:

<iframe id="my_iframe" src="http://www.test.tld/">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        document.getElementById('my_iframe').onload = function() {
            __doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$bLogout','');
        }
    </script>
    <!--OTHER STUFF-->
</iframe>

Run all SQL files in a directory

The easiest way I found included the following steps (the only requirement is it to be in Win7+):

  • open the folder in Explorer
  • select all script files
  • press Shift
  • right click the selection and select "Copy as path"
  • go to SQL Server Management Studio
  • create a new query
  • Query Menu, "SQLCMD mode"
  • paste the list, then Ctrl+H, replace '"C:\' (or whatever the drive letter) with ':r "C:' (i.e. prefix the lines with ':r ')
  • run the query

It sounds long, but in reality is very fast.. (it sounds long as I described even the smallest steps)

CSS - how to make image container width fixed and height auto stretched

    return n.toFixed(2);
}

This might be helpful if you want a concise function that you can call from your main method, inside your class. You may still need to call int.Parse(toBinary(someint)) if you require a number instead of a string but I find this method work pretty well. Additionally, this can be adjusted to use a for loop instead of a do-while if you'd prefer.

    public static string toBinary(int base10)
    {
        string binary = "";
        do {
            binary = (base10 % 2) + binary;
            base10 /= 2;
        }
        while (base10 > 0);

        return binary;
    }

toBinary(10) returns the string "1010".

UPDATE if exists else INSERT in SQL Server 2008

Many people will suggest you use MERGE, but I caution you against it. By default, it doesn't protect you from concurrency and race conditions any more than multiple statements, but it does introduce other dangers:

http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3074/use-caution-with-sql-servers-merge-statement/

Even with this "simpler" syntax available, I still prefer this approach (error handling omitted for brevity):

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
UPDATE dbo.table SET ... WHERE PK = @PK;
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
BEGIN
  INSERT dbo.table(PK, ...) SELECT @PK, ...;
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION;

A lot of folks will suggest this way:

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.table WHERE PK = @PK)
BEGIN
  UPDATE ...
END
ELSE
BEGIN
  INSERT ...
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION;

But all this accomplishes is ensuring you may need to read the table twice to locate the row(s) to be updated. In the first sample, you will only ever need to locate the row(s) once. (In both cases, if no rows are found from the initial read, an insert occurs.)

Others will suggest this way:

BEGIN TRY
  INSERT ...
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
  IF ERROR_NUMBER() = 2627
    UPDATE ...
END CATCH

However, this is problematic if for no other reason than letting SQL Server catch exceptions that you could have prevented in the first place is much more expensive, except in the rare scenario where almost every insert fails. I prove as much here:

Not sure what you think you gain by having a single statement; I don't think you gain anything. MERGE is a single statement but it still has to really perform multiple operations anyway - even though it makes you think it doesn't.

is there a css hack for safari only NOT chrome?

There is a way to filter Safari 5+ from Chrome:

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { 
    /* Safari and Chrome */
    .myClass {
     color:red;
    }

    /* Safari only override */
    ::i-block-chrome,.myClass {
     color:blue;
    }
}

Check if a column contains text using SQL

Just try below script:

Below code works only if studentid column datatype is varchar

SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE STUDENTID like '%Searchstring%'

MongoDB query with an 'or' condition

In case anyone finds it useful, www.querymongo.com does translation between SQL and MongoDB, including OR clauses. It can be really helpful for figuring out syntax when you know the SQL equivalent.

In the case of OR statements, it looks like this

SQL:

SELECT * FROM collection WHERE columnA = 3 OR columnB = 'string';

MongoDB:

db.collection.find({
    "$or": [{
        "columnA": 3
    }, {
        "columnB": "string"
    }]
});

Base64 Encoding Image

Google led me to this solution (base64_encode). Hope this helps!
