How to solve npm install throwing fsevents warning on non-MAC OS?

I had got this error, Linux system(Ubuntu) and This might happen when you run :

npm install

1) If the project is not present in your localdisk/computer, copy it to your computer and try again. So you get the permission to access folder (Just make sure you have access permission).

2) If you still get some warnings or errors, run:

npm audit fix

This will solve vulnerabilities in your dependencies and can help you fix a vulnerability by providing simple-to-run npm commands and recommendations for further troubleshooting.

Hope it helps!

Get safe area inset top and bottom heights

Swift 5, Xcode 11.4

`UIApplication.shared.keyWindow` 

It will give deprecation warning. ''keyWindow' was deprecated in iOS 13.0: Should not be used for applications that support multiple scenes as it returns a key window across all connected scenes' because of connected scenes. I use this way.

extension UIView {

    var safeAreaBottom: CGFloat {
         if #available(iOS 11, *) {
            if let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindowInConnectedScenes {
                return window.safeAreaInsets.bottom
            }
         }
         return 0
    }

    var safeAreaTop: CGFloat {
         if #available(iOS 11, *) {
            if let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindowInConnectedScenes {
                return window.safeAreaInsets.top
            }
         }
         return 0
    }
}

extension UIApplication {
    var keyWindowInConnectedScenes: UIWindow? {
        return windows.first(where: { $0.isKeyWindow })
    }
}

from this link then install it then the command worked just fine!

Bootstrap 4, how to make a col have a height of 100%?

I solved this like this:

    <section className="container-fluid">
            <div className="row justify-content-center">

                <article className="d-flex flex-column justify-content-center align-items-center vh-100">
                        <!-- content -->
                </article>

            </div>
    </section>

Unsupported Media Type in postman

I also got this error .I was using Text inside body after changing to XML(text/xml) , got result as expected.

  • If your request is XML Request use XML(text/xml).

  • If your request is JSON Request use JSON(application/json)

Caused by: org.flywaydb.core.api.FlywayException: Validate failed. Migration Checksum mismatch for migration 2

I had the same issue and I believe this occurred because of checksum between linux and windows (also mac). you can use repair() command in flyway.

flyway.repair();

Be careful , if you are in production environment , make sure that you did not change the migration SQL file; because when you run the flyway.repair(); it means you saying to flyway that your are sure about the migration version and their checksum and then the flyway repair them !

Why does C++ code for testing the Collatz conjecture run faster than hand-written assembly?

For the Collatz problem, you can get a significant boost in performance by caching the "tails". This is a time/memory trade-off. See: memoization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization). You could also look into dynamic programming solutions for other time/memory trade-offs.

Example python implementation:

import sys

inner_loop = 0

def collatz_sequence(N, cache):
    global inner_loop

    l = [ ]
    stop = False
    n = N

    tails = [ ]

    while not stop:
        inner_loop += 1
        tmp = n
        l.append(n)
        if n <= 1:
            stop = True  
        elif n in cache:
            stop = True
        elif n % 2:
            n = 3*n + 1
        else:
            n = n // 2
        tails.append((tmp, len(l)))

    for key, offset in tails:
        if not key in cache:
            cache[key] = l[offset:]

    return l

def gen_sequence(l, cache):
    for elem in l:
        yield elem
        if elem in cache:
            yield from gen_sequence(cache[elem], cache)
            raise StopIteration

if __name__ == "__main__":
    le_cache = {}

    for n in range(1, 4711, 5):
        l = collatz_sequence(n, le_cache)
        print("{}: {}".format(n, len(list(gen_sequence(l, le_cache)))))

    print("inner_loop = {}".format(inner_loop))

@ViewChild in *ngIf

Angular 8+

You should add { static: false } as a second option for @ViewChild. This causes the query results to be resolved after change detection runs, allowing your @ViewChild to be updated after the value changes.

Example:

export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('contentPlaceholder', { static: false }) contentPlaceholder: ElementRef;

    display = false;

    constructor(private changeDetectorRef: ChangeDetectorRef) {
    }

    show() {
        this.display = true;
        this.changeDetectorRef.detectChanges(); // not required
        console.log(this.contentPlaceholder);
    }
}

org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorException: 400 Bad Request

This is what worked for me. Issue is earlier I didn't set Content Type(header) when I used exchange method.

MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.add("param1", "123");
map.add("param2", "456");
map.add("param3", "789");
map.add("param4", "123");
map.add("param5", "456");

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);

final HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, String>> entity = new HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, String>>(map ,
        headers);
JSONObject jsonObject = null;

try {
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(
            "https://url", HttpMethod.POST, entity,
            String.class);

    if (responseEntity.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.CREATED) {
        try {
            jsonObject = new JSONObject(responseEntity.getBody());
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("JSONException occurred");
        }
    }
  } catch (final HttpClientErrorException httpClientErrorException) {
        throw new ExternalCallBadRequestException();
  } catch (HttpServerErrorException httpServerErrorException) {
        throw new ExternalCallServerErrorException(httpServerErrorException);
  } catch (Exception exception) {
        throw new ExternalCallServerErrorException(exception);
    } 

ExternalCallBadRequestException and ExternalCallServerErrorException are the custom exceptions here.

Note: Remember HttpClientErrorException is thrown when a 4xx error is received. So if the request you send is wrong either setting header or sending wrong data, you could receive this exception.

Google Maps how to Show city or an Area outline

i was looking for the same and found the answer,

solution is to use the styled map, on below link you can create your custom styles through wizard and test is at the same time google map style wizard

you can check all available options : here

here is my sample code which creates boundary for states and hide all the road and there labels.

    var styles = [

    "featureType": "administrative.province",
    "elementType": "geometry.stroke",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "on" },
      { "weight": 2.5 },
      { "color": "#24b0e2" }
    ]
  },{
    "featureType": "road",
    "elementType": "geometry",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  },{
    "featureType": "administrative.locality",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  },{
    "featureType": "road",
    "elementType": "labels",
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  }
];

  var  geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
   geocoder.geocode({
       'address': "rajasthan"
   }, (results, status)=> {
     var mapOpts = {
       mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
       scaleControl: true,
       scrollwheel: false,
       styles:styles,
       center: results[0].geometry.location,
       zoom:6
     }
     map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOpts);
   });

Flexbox: how to get divs to fill up 100% of the container width without wrapping?

In my case, just using flex-shrink: 0 didn't work. But adding flex-grow: 1 to it worked.

.item {

    flex-grow: 1;
}

JQuery Datatables : Cannot read property 'aDataSort' of undefined

In my case I solved the problem by establishing a valid column number when applying the order property inside the script where you configure the data table.

var table = $('#mytable').DataTable({
     .
     .
     .
     order: [[ 1, "desc" ]],

variable is not declared it may be inaccessible due to its protection level

I got this error briefly after renaming the App_Code folder. Actually, I accidentally dragged the whole folder to the App_data folder. VS 2015 didn't complain it was difficult to spot what had gone wrong.

Saving binary data as file using JavaScript from a browser

Use FileSaver.js. It supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and IE 10+ (and probably IE < 10 with a few "polyfills" - see Note 4). FileSaver.js implements the saveAs() FileSaver interface in browsers that do not natively support it:
     https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js

Minified version is really small at < 2.5KB, gzipped < 1.2KB.

Usage:

/* TODO: replace the blob content with your byte[] */
var blob = new Blob([yourBinaryDataAsAnArrayOrAsAString], {type: "application/octet-stream"});
var fileName = "myFileName.myExtension";
saveAs(blob, fileName);

You might need Blob.js in some browsers (see Note 3). Blob.js implements the W3C Blob interface in browsers that do not natively support it. It is a cross-browser implementation:
     https://github.com/eligrey/Blob.js

Consider StreamSaver.js if you have files larger than blob's size limitations.

Complete example:

 * Or_x000D_

jQuery.post( ) .done( ) and success:

The reason to prefer Promises over callback functions is to have multiple callbacks and to avoid the problems like Callback Hell.

Callback hell (for more details, refer http://callbackhell.com/): Asynchronous javascript, or javascript that uses callbacks, is hard to get right intuitively. A lot of code ends up looking like this:

asyncCall(function(err, data1){
    if(err) return callback(err);       
    anotherAsyncCall(function(err2, data2){
        if(err2) return calllback(err2);
        oneMoreAsyncCall(function(err3, data3){
            if(err3) return callback(err3);
            // are we done yet?
        });
    });
});

With Promises above code can be rewritten as below:

asyncCall()
.then(function(data1){
    // do something...
    return anotherAsyncCall();
})
.then(function(data2){
    // do something...  
    return oneMoreAsyncCall();    
})
.then(function(data3){
    // the third and final async response
})
.fail(function(err) {
    // handle any error resulting from any of the above calls    
})
.done();

Bootstrap 3 .img-responsive images are not responsive inside fieldset in FireFox

In my case I only wanted the image to behave responsively at mobile scale so I created a css style .myimgrsfix that only kicks in at mobile scale

.myimgrsfix {
    @media(max-width:767px){
        width:100%;
    }
}

and applied that to the image <img class='img-responsive myimgrsfix' src='whatever.gif'>

json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type

You JSON doesn't match your struct fields: E.g. "district" in JSON and "District" as the field.

Also: Your Item is a slice type but your JSON is a dict value. Do not mix this up. Slices decode from arrays.

Image style height and width not taken in outlook mails

This worked for me:

src="{0}"  width=30 height=30 style="border:0;"

Nothing else has worked so far.

Putty: Getting Server refused our key Error

having same issue in windows server 2008 r2 and explored a lot to solve, finally did that by following:

open C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH\etc\sshd_config with textpad or any other text editor

remove comment from following lines, after removing they should look like following:

RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile  .ssh/authorized_keys

save it and try to login with private key now. have fun.

json parsing error syntax error unexpected end of input

spoiler: possible Server Side Problem

Here is what i've found, my code expected the responce from my server, when the server returned just 200 code, it wasnt enough herefrom json parser thrown the error error unexpected end of input

fetch(url, {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(json),
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      })
        .then(res => res.json()) // here is my code waites the responce from the server
        .then((res) => {
          toastr.success('Created Type is sent successfully');
        })
        .catch(err => {
          console.log('Type send failed', err);
          toastr.warning('Type send failed');
        })

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

You are not passing the variable correctly. One fast solution is to make a global variable like this:

var global_json_data;
$(document).ready(function() {
    var json_source = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0ApL1zT2P00q5dG1wOUMzSlNVV3VRV2pwQ2Fnbmt3M0E/od7/public/basic?alt=json";
    var string_data ="";
    var json_data = $.ajax({
        dataType: 'json', // Return JSON
        url: json_source,
        success: function(data){
            var data_obj = [];
            for (i=0; i<data.feed.entry.length; i++){
                var el = {'key': data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 'value': '<p><a href="'+data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a></p>'};
                data_obj.push(el)};

            console.log("data grabbed");  
            global_json_data =   data_obj;

            return data_obj;


        },      

        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ 
                        $('#results_box').html('<h2>Something went wrong!</h2><p><b>' + textStatus  + '</b> ' + errorThrown  + '</p>');
        }
    }); 

    $(':submit').click(function(event){
        var json_data = global_json_data;
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log(json_data.length);

        //function
        if ($('#place').val() !=''){
            var copy_string = $('#place').val();
            var converted_string = copy_string;
            for (i=0; i<json_data.length; i++){
                //console_log(data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']);
                converted_string = converted_string.replace(json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 
                    '<a href="'+json_data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a>');
            }  
            $('#results_box').text(converted_string).html();
        }
    });

});//document ready end 

Display JSON Data in HTML Table

There are many plugins for doing that. I normally use datatables it works great. http://datatables.net/

SQL Left Join first match only

Depending on the nature of the duplicate rows, it looks like all you want is to have case-sensitivity on those columns. Setting the collation on these columns should be what you're after:

SELECT DISTINCT p.IDNO COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, p.FirstName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, p.LastName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
FROM people P

Remove padding from columns in Bootstrap 3

Bootstrap 4 has a native class to do this : add the class .no-gutters to the parent .row

Multiple modals overlay

Check count of modals and add the value to backdrop as z-index

    var zIndex = 1500 + ($('.modal').length*2) + 1;
    this.popsr.css({'z-index': zIndex});

    this.popsr.on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
        $(this).next('.modal-backdrop').css('z-index', zIndex - 1);
    });

    this.popsr.modal('show');

How to position two elements side by side using CSS

Just use the float style. Put your google map iframe in a div class, and the paragraph in another div class, then apply the following CSS styles to those div classes(don't forget to clear the blocks after float effect, to not make the blocks trouble below them):

css

.google_map{
    width:55%;
    margin-right:2%;
    float: left;
}
.google_map iframe{
   width:100%;
}
.paragraph {
    width:42%;
    float: left;
}
.clearfix{
    clear:both
}

html

<div class="google_map">
      <iframe></iframe>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
      <p></p>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>

Flex-box: Align last row to grid

I know there are many answers here but.. The simplest way to do this is with a grid instead of flex and grid template columns with repeat and auto fills, where you have to set the number of pixels that you have given to each element, 100px from your snippet code.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.exposegrid {_x000D_
     display: grid;_x000D_
     grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, 100px);_x000D_
     justify-content: space-between;_x000D_
}_x000D_
 .exposetab {_x000D_
     width: 100px;_x000D_
     height: 66px;_x000D_
     background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);_x000D_
     border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);_x000D_
     border-radius: 5px;_x000D_
     box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);_x000D_
     margin-bottom: 10px;_x000D_
}

How to position the Button exactly in CSS

I'd use absolute positioning:

#play_button {
    position:absolute;
transition: .5s ease;
    left: 202px;
    top: 198px;

}

Laravel 4: Redirect to a given url

You can use different types of redirect method in laravel -

return redirect()->intended('http://heera.it');

OR

return redirect()->to('http://heera.it');

OR

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

return Redirect::to('/')->with(['type' => 'error','message' => 'Your message'])->withInput(Input::except('password'));

OR

return redirect('/')->with(Auth::logout());

OR

return redirect()->route('user.profile', ['step' => $step, 'id' => $id]);

ASP.NET jQuery Ajax Calling Code-Behind Method

This hasn't solved my problem too, so I changed the parameters slightly.
This code worked for me:

var dataValue = "{ name: 'person', isGoing: 'true', returnAddress: 'returnEmail' }";

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "Default.aspx/OnSubmit",
    data: dataValue,
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    dataType: 'json',
    error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert("Request: " + XMLHttpRequest.toString() + "\n\nStatus: " + textStatus + "\n\nError: " + errorThrown);
    },
    success: function (result) {
        alert("We returned: " + result.d);
    }
});

"Failed to load platform plugin "xcb" " while launching qt5 app on linux without qt installed

Use ldd (man ldd) to show shared library dependencies. Running this on libqxcb.so

.../platforms$ ldd libqxcb.so

shows that xcb depends on libQt5DBus.so.5 in addition to libQt5Core.so.5 and libQt5Gui.so.5 (and many other system libs). Add libQt5DBus.so.5 to your collection of shared libs and you should be ready to move on.

Creating a blurring overlay view

In case this helps anyone, here is a swift extension I created based on the answer by Jordan H. It is written in Swift 5 and can be used from Objective C.

extension UIView {

    @objc func blurBackground(style: UIBlurEffect.Style, fallbackColor: UIColor) {
        if !UIAccessibility.isReduceTransparencyEnabled {
            self.backgroundColor = .clear

            let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: style)
            let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
            //always fill the view
            blurEffectView.frame = self.self.bounds
            blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

            self.insertSubview(blurEffectView, at: 0)
        } else {
            self.backgroundColor = fallbackColor
        }
    }

}

NOTE: If you want to blur the background of an UILabel without affecting the text, you should create a container UIView, add the UILabel to the container UIView as a subview, set the UILabel's backgroundColor to UIColor.clear, and then call blurBackground(style: UIBlurEffect.Style, fallbackColor: UIColor) on the container UIView. Here's a quick example of this written in Swift 5:

let frame = CGRect(x: 50, y: 200, width: 200, height: 50)
let containerView = UIView(frame: frame)
let label = UILabel(frame: frame)
label.text = "Some Text"
label.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
containerView.addSubview(label)
containerView.blurBackground(style: .dark, fallbackColor: UIColor.black)

jQuery Cross Domain Ajax

Looks like the inner JSON struct is passed along as a string. You'll have to JSON.parse() it once more to get that data as an object.

try {
  responseData = JSON.parse(responseData);
}
catch (e) {}

Edit: Try the following:

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: "json",
    url: "http://someotherdomain.com/service.svc",
    success: function (responseData, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        console.log("in");
        var data = JSON.parse(responseData['AuthenticateUserResult']);
        console.log(data);
    },
    error: function (responseData, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert('POST failed.');
    }
});

How to bind Events on Ajax loaded Content?

Use event delegation for dynamically created elements:

$(document).on("click", '.mylink', function(event) { 
    alert("new link clicked!");
});

This does actually work, here's an example where I appended an anchor with the class .mylink instead of data - http://jsfiddle.net/EFjzG/

Invalid column count in CSV input on line 1 Error

This is actually pretty simple to fix, I originally wrote about the fix ~10 years ago over here https://ao.gl/phpmyadmin-invalid-field-count-in-csv-input-on-line-1/

What you want to do is change "Fields terminated by" from ";" to "," and then make sure that the "Use LOCAL keyword" is selected.

Get JSON object from URL

Our solution, adding some validations to response so we are sure we have a well formed json object in $json variable

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if (! $result) {
    return false;
}

$json = json_decode(utf8_encode($result));
if (empty($json) || json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
    return false;
}

UL has margin on the left

I don't see any margin or margin-left declarations for #footer-wrap li.

This ought to do the trick:

#footer-wrap ul,
#footer-wrap li {
    margin-left: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
}

Visual Studio Error: (407: Proxy Authentication Required)

This helped in my case :

  1. close VS instance
  2. open Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager
  3. Remove TFS related credentials from vault

This is just a hack. You need to do it regulary ... :-(

str_replace with array

Because str_replace() replaces left to right, it might replace a previously inserted value when doing multiple replacements.

    // Outputs F because A is replaced with B, then B is replaced with C, and so on...
    // Finally E is replaced with F, because of left to right replacements.
    $search  = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E');
    $replace = array('B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F');
    $subject = 'A';
    echo str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);

Clear dropdown using jQuery Select2

I'm a little late, but this is what's working in the last version (4.0.3):

RSA Public Key format

Starting from the decoded base64 data of an OpenSSL rsa-ssh Key, i've been able to guess a format:

  • 00 00 00 07: four byte length prefix (7 bytes)
  • 73 73 68 2d 72 73 61: "ssh-rsa"
  • 00 00 00 01: four byte length prefix (1 byte)
  • 25: RSA Exponent (e): 25
  • 00 00 01 00: four byte length prefix (256 bytes)
  • RSA Modulus (n):

The closest validation of my theory i can find it from RFC 4253:

The "ssh-rsa" key format has the following specific encoding:

  string    "ssh-rsa"
  mpint     e
  mpint     n

Here the 'e' and 'n' parameters form the signature key blob.

But it doesn't explain the length prefixes.

From RFC3447 - Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications Version 2.1:

A.1.1 RSA public key syntax

An RSA public key should be represented with the ASN.1 type RSAPublicKey:

  RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE {
     modulus           INTEGER,  -- n
     publicExponent    INTEGER   -- e
  }

The fields of type RSAPublicKey have the following meanings:

  • modulus is the RSA modulus n.
  • publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.

Using Microsoft's excellent (and the only real) ASN.1 documentation:

30 82 01 0a       ;SEQUENCE (0x010A bytes: 266 bytes)
|  02 82 01 01    ;INTEGER  (0x0101 bytes: 257 bytes)

<hr> tag in Twitter Bootstrap not functioning correctly?

I solved this by setting the HR background-color to black like so:

<hr style="width: 100%; color: black; height: 1px; background-color:black;" />

Get width height of remote image from url

ES6: Using async/await you can do below getMeta function in sequence-like way and you can use it as follows (which is almost identical to code in your question (I add await keyword and change variable end to img, and change var to let keyword). You need to run getMeta by await only from async function (run).

_x000D_
_x000D_
function getMeta(url) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        let img = new Image();
        img.onload = () => resolve(img);
        img.onerror = () => reject();
        img.src = url;
    });
}

async function run() {

  let img = await getMeta("http://shijitht.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/github.png");

  let w = img.width;
  let h = img.height; 

  size.innerText = `width=${w}px, height=${h}px`;
  size.appendChild(img);
}

run();
_x000D_
<div id="size" />
_x000D_

rename the columns name after cbind the data

It's easy just add the name which you want to use in quotes before adding vector

a_matrix <- cbind(b_matrix,'Name-Change'= c_vector)

Should I use .done() and .fail() for new jQuery AJAX code instead of success and error

I want to add something on @Michael Laffargue's post:

jqXHR.done() is faster!

jqXHR.success() have some load time in callback and sometimes can overkill script. I find that on hard way before.

UPDATE:

Using jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail() and jqXHR.always() you can better manipulate with ajax request. Generaly you can define ajax in some variable or object and use that variable or object in any part of your code and get data faster. Good example:

/* Initialize some your AJAX function */
function call_ajax(attr){
    var settings=$.extend({
        call            : 'users',
        option          : 'list'
    }, attr );

    return $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "//exapmple.com//ajax.php",
        data: settings,
        cache : false
    });
}

/* .... Somewhere in your code ..... */

call_ajax({
    /* ... */
    id : 10,
    option : 'edit_user'
    change : {
          name : 'John Doe'
    }
    /* ... */
}).done(function(data){

    /* DO SOMETHING AWESOME */

});

How to convert image into byte array and byte array to base64 String in android?

Try this:

// convert from bitmap to byte array
public byte[] getBytesFromBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, stream);
    return stream.toByteArray();
}

// get the base 64 string
String imgString = Base64.encodeToString(getBytesFromBitmap(someImg), 
                       Base64.NO_WRAP);

Java - Convert image to Base64

I realize that this is an old question but perhaps someone will find my code sample useful. This code encodes a file in Base64 then decodes it and saves it in a new location.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.Arrays;

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

public class Base64Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

javascript - pass selected value from popup window to parent window input box

From your code

<input type=button value="Select" onClick="sendValue(this.form.details);"

Im not sure that your this.form.details valid or not.

IF it's valid, have a look in window.opener.document.getElementById('details').value = selvalue;

I can't found an input's id contain details I'm just found only id=sku1 (recommend you to add " like id="sku1").

And from your id it's hardcode. Let's see how to do with dynamic when a child has callback to update some textbox on the parent Take a look at here.

First page.

<html>
<head>
<script>
    function callFromDialog(id,data){ //for callback from the dialog
        document.getElementById(id).value = data;
        // do some thing other if you want
    }

    function choose(id){
        var URL = "secondPage.html?id=" + id + "&dummy=avoid#";
        window.open(URL,"mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250")
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="tbFirst" type="text" /> <button onclick="choose('tbFirst')">choose</button>
<input id="tbSecond" type="text" /> <button onclick="choose('tbSecond')">choose</button>
</body>
</html>

Look in function choose I'm sent an id of textbox to the popup window (don't forget to add dummy data at last of URL param like &dummy=avoid#)

Popup Page

<html>
<head>
<script>
    function goSelect(data){
        var idFromCallPage = getUrlVars()["id"];
        window.opener.callFromDialog(idFromCallPage,data); //or use //window.opener.document.getElementById(idFromCallPage).value = data;
        window.close();
    }


    function getUrlVars(){
        var vars = [], hash;
        var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
        for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
        {
            hash = hashes[i].split('=');
            vars.push(hash[0]);
            vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
        }
        return vars;
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="goSelect('Car')">Car</a> <br />
<a href="#" onclick="goSelect('Food')">Food</a> <br />
</body>
</html>

I have add function getUrlVars for get URL param that the parent has pass to child.

Okay, when select data in the popup, for this case it's will call function goSelect

In that function will get URL param to sent back.

And when you need to sent back to the parent just use window.opener and the name of function like window.opener.callFromDialog

By fully is window.opener.callFromDialog(idFromCallPage,data);

Or if you want to use window.opener.document.getElementById(idFromCallPage).value = data; It's ok too.

jQuery Ajax requests are getting cancelled without being sent

I got this error when making a request using http to a url that required https. I guess the ajax call is not handling the redirection. This is the case even with the crossDomain ajax option set to true (on JQuery 1.5.2).

Getting RSA private key from PEM BASE64 Encoded private key file

As others have responded, the key you are trying to parse doesn't have the proper PKCS#8 headers which Oracle's PKCS8EncodedKeySpec needs to understand it. If you don't want to convert the key using openssl pkcs8 or parse it using JDK internal APIs you can prepend the PKCS#8 header like this:

static final Base64.Decoder DECODER = Base64.getMimeDecoder();

private static byte[] buildPKCS8Key(File privateKey) throws IOException {
  final String s = new String(Files.readAllBytes(privateKey.toPath()));
  if (s.contains("--BEGIN PRIVATE KEY--")) {
    return DECODER.decode(s.replaceAll("-----\\w+ PRIVATE KEY-----", ""));
  }
  if (!s.contains("--BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY--")) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Invalid cert format: "+ s);
  }

  final byte[] innerKey = DECODER.decode(s.replaceAll("-----\\w+ RSA PRIVATE KEY-----", ""));
  final byte[] result = new byte[innerKey.length + 26];
  System.arraycopy(DECODER.decode("MIIEvAIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKY="), 0, result, 0, 26);
  System.arraycopy(BigInteger.valueOf(result.length - 4).toByteArray(), 0, result, 2, 2);
  System.arraycopy(BigInteger.valueOf(innerKey.length).toByteArray(), 0, result, 24, 2);
  System.arraycopy(innerKey, 0, result, 26, innerKey.length);
  return result;
}

Once that method is in place you can feed it's output to the PKCS8EncodedKeySpec constructor like this: new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(buildPKCS8Key(privateKey));

How do I decode a base64 encoded string?

Simple:

byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(encodedString);
string decodedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);

IE prompts to open or save json result from server

Sounds like this SO question may be relevant to you:

How can I convince IE to simply display Application json rather than offer to download

If not:

Have you tried setting the dataType expected in the ajax options? i.e. dataType: 'json'

Have you tried other content types such as 'application/json' or 'text/javascript'

IE9 JavaScript error: SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'ui': object is null or undefined

I have written code that sniffs IE4 or greater and is currently functioning perfectly in sites for my company's clients, as well as my own personal sites.

Include the following enumerated constant and function variables into a javascript include file on your page...

//methods
var BrowserTypes = {
    Unknown: 0,
    FireFox: 1,
    Chrome: 2,
    Safari: 3,
    IE: 4,
    IE7: 5,
    IE8: 6,
    IE9: 7,
    IE10: 8,
    IE11: 8,
    IE12: 8
};

var Browser = function () {
    try {
        //declares
        var type;
        var version;
        var sVersion;

        //process
        switch (navigator.appName.toLowerCase()) {
            case "microsoft internet explorer":
                type = BrowserTypes.IE;
                sVersion = navigator.appVersion.substring(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('MSIE') + 5, navigator.appVersion.length);
                version = parseFloat(sVersion.split(";")[0]);
                switch (parseInt(version)) {
                    case 7:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE7;
                        break;
                    case 8:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE8;
                        break;
                    case 9:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE9;
                        break;
                    case 10:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE10;
                        break;
                    case 11:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE11;
                        break;
                    case 12:
                        type = BrowserTypes.IE12;
                        break;
                }
                break;
            case "netscape":
                if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("chrome") > -1) { type = BrowserTypes.Chrome; }
                else { if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox") > -1) { type = BrowserTypes.FireFox } };
                break;
            default:
                type = BrowserTypes.Unknown;
                break;
        }

        //returns
        return type;
    } catch (ex) {
    }
};

Then all you have to do is use any conditional functionality such as...

ie. value = (Browser() >= BrowserTypes.IE) ? node.text : node.textContent;

or WindowWidth = (((Browser() >= BrowserTypes.IE9) || (Browser() < BrowserTypes.IE)) ? window.innerWidth : document.documentElement.clientWidth);

or sJSON = (Browser() >= BrowserTypes.IE) ? xmlElement.text : xmlElement.textContent;

Get the idea? Hope this helps.

Oh, you might want to keep it in mind to QA the Browser() function after IE10 is released, just to verify they didn't change the rules.

A CORS POST request works from plain JavaScript, but why not with jQuery?

UPDATE: As TimK pointed out, this isn't needed with jquery 1.5.2 any more. But if you want to add custom headers or allow the use of credentials (username, password, or cookies, etc), read on.


I think I found the answer! (4 hours and a lot of cursing later)

//This does not work!!
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *

You need to manually specify all the headers you will accept (at least that was the case for me in FF 4.0 & Chrome 10.0.648.204).

jQuery's $.ajax method sends the "x-requested-with" header for all cross domain requests (i think its only cross domain).

So the missing header needed to respond to the OPTIONS request is:

//no longer needed as of jquery 1.5.2
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with

If you are passing any non "simple" headers, you will need to include them in your list (i send one more):

//only need part of this for my custom header
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with, x-requested-by

So to put it all together, here is my PHP:

// * wont work in FF w/ Allow-Credentials
//if you dont need Allow-Credentials, * seems to work
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://www.example.com');
//if you need cookies or login etc
header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true');
if ($this->getRequestMethod() == 'OPTIONS')
{
  header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
  header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 604800');
  //if you need special headers
  header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with');
  exit(0);
}

Why is this program erroneously rejected by three C++ compilers?

Did you handwrite the program and then scan it into the computer? That is what is implied by "helloworld.png". If that is the case, you need to be aware that the C++ standard (even in its newest edition) does not require the presence of optical character recognition, and unfortunately it is not included as an optional feature in any current compiler.

You may want to consider transposing the graphics to a textual format. Any plain-text editor may be used; the use of a word processor, while capable of generating a pretty printout, will most likely result in the same error that you get while trying to scan.

If you are truly adventurous, you may attempt to write your code into a word processor. Print it, preferably using a font like OCR-A. Then, take your printout and scan it back in. The scan can then be run through a third-party OCR package to generate a text form. The text form may then be compiled using one of many standard compilers.

Beware, however, of the great cost of paper that this will incur during the debugging phase.

How to get response status code from jQuery.ajax?

NB: Using jQuery 3.4.1

$.ajax({
  url: URL,
  success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
    console.log(textStatus + ": " + jqXHR.status);
    // do something with data
  },
  error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
    console.log(textStatus + ": " + jqXHR.status + " " + errorThrown);
  }
});

what does this mean ? image/png;base64?

That is, you are referencing an image, but instead of providing an external url, the png image data is in the url itself, embedded in the style sheet. data:image/png;base64 tells the browser that the data is inline, is a png image and is in this case base64 encoded. The encoding is needed because png images can contain bytes that are invalid inside a HTML document (or within the HTTP protocol even).

Can I stop 100% Width Text Boxes from extending beyond their containers?

If you don't need to do it dynamically (for example, your form is of a fixed width) you can just set the width of child <input> elements to the width of their container minus any decorations like padding, margin, border, etc.:

 // the parent div here has a width of 200px:
.form-signin input[type="text"], .form-signin input[type="password"], .form-signin input[type="email"], .form-signin input[type="number"] {
  font-size: 16px;
  height: auto;
  display: block;
  width: 280px;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
  padding: 7px 9px;
}

What are queues in jQuery?

It allows you to queue up animations... for example, instead of this

$('#my-element').animate( { opacity: 0.2, width: '100px' }, 2000);

Which fades the element and makes the width 100 px at the same time. Using the queue allows you to stage the animations. So one finishes after the other.

$("#show").click(function () {
    var n = $("div").queue("fx");
    $("span").text("Queue length is: " + n.length);
});

function runIt() {
    $("div").show("slow");
    $("div").animate({left:'+=200'},2000);
    $("div").slideToggle(1000);
    $("div").slideToggle("fast");
    $("div").animate({left:'-=200'},1500);
    $("div").hide("slow");
    $("div").show(1200);
    $("div").slideUp("normal", runIt);
}
runIt();

How to validate white spaces/empty spaces? [Angular 2]

I think a simple and clean solution is to use pattern validation.

The following pattern will allow a string that starts with white spaces and will not allow a string containing only white spaces:

/^(\s+\S+\s*)*(?!\s).*$/

It can be set when adding the validators for the corresponding control of the form group:

const form = this.formBuilder.group({
            name: ['', [
                Validators.required,
                Validators.pattern(/^(\s+\S+\s*)*(?!\s).*$/)
            ]]
        });

Java Enum return Int

Simply call the ordinal() method on an enum value, to retrieve its corresponding number. There's no need to declare an addition attribute with its value, each enumerated value gets its own number by default, assigned starting from zero, incrementing by one for each value in the same order they were declared.

You shouldn't depend on the int value of an enum, only on its actual value. Enums in Java are a different kind of monster and are not like enums in C, where you depend on their integer code.

Regarding the example you provided in the question, Font.PLAIN works because that's just an integer constant of the Font class. If you absolutely need a (possibly changing) numeric code, then an enum is not the right tool for the job, better stick to numeric constants.

RecyclerView and java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Inconsistency detected. Invalid view holder adapter positionViewHolder in Samsung devices

If your data changes a lot, you can use

 mAdapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(0, yourData.size());

or some single items in your data set changes, your can use

 mAdapter.notifyItemChanged(pos);

For detailed methods usage, you can refer the doc, in a way, try not to directly use mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged().

Difference between File.separator and slash in paths

Although using File.separator to reference a file name is overkill (for those who imagine far off lands, I imagine their JVM implementation would replace a / with a : just like the windows jvm replaces it with a \).

However, sometimes you are getting the file reference, not creating it, and you need to parse it, and to be able to do that, you need to know the separator on the platform. File.separator helps you do that.

Sometimes, if you have only a few elements that "exit the screen", the list might not scroll. That's because the operating system doesn't view it as actually exceeding the screen.

I'm saying this because I ran into this problem today - I only had 2 or 3 elements that were exceeding the screen limits, and my list wasn't scrollable. And it was a real mystery. As soon as I added a few more, it started to scroll.

So you have to make sure it's not a design problem at first, like the list appearing to go beyond the borders of the screen but in reality, "it doesn't", and adjust its dimensions and margin values and see if it's starting to "become scrollable". It did, for me.

android pick images from gallery

Just to offer an update to the answer for people with API min 19, per the docs:

On Android 4.4 (API level 19) and higher, you have the additional option of using the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT intent, which displays a system-controlled picker UI controlled that allows the user to browse all files that other apps have made available. From this single UI, the user can pick a file from any of the supported apps.

On Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher, you can also use the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent, which allows the user to choose a directory for a client app to access.

Open files using storage access framework - Android Docs

     val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
     intent.type = "image/*"
     startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE)

Correct modification of state arrays in React.js

Easiest, if you are using ES6.

initialArray = [1, 2, 3];

newArray = [ ...initialArray, 4 ]; // --> [1,2,3,4]

New array will be [1,2,3,4]

to update your state in React

this.setState({
  arrayvar:[...this.state.arrayvar, newelement]
});

How to select the first element with a specific attribute using XPath

/bookstore/book[@location='US'][1] works only with simple structure.

Add a bit more structure and things break.

With-

<bookstore>
 <category>
  <book location="US">A1</book>
  <book location="FIN">A2</book>
 </category>
 <category>
  <book location="FIN">B1</book>
  <book location="US">B2</book>
 </category>
</bookstore> 

/bookstore/category/book[@location='US'][1] yields

<book location="US">A1</book>
<book location="US">B2</book>

not "the first node that matches a more complicated condition". /bookstore/category/book[@location='US'][2] returns nothing.

With parentheses you can get the result the original question was for:

(/bookstore/category/book[@location='US'])[1] gives

<book location="US">A1</book>

and (/bookstore/category/book[@location='US'])[2] works as expected.

Downcasting in Java

Consider the below example

public class ClastingDemo {

/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    AOne obj = new Bone();
    ((Bone) obj).method2();
}
}

class AOne {
public void method1() {
    System.out.println("this is superclass");
}
}


 class Bone extends AOne {

public void method2() {
    System.out.println("this is subclass");
}
}

here we create the object of subclass Bone and assigned it to super class AOne reference and now superclass reference does not know about the method method2 in the subclass i.e Bone during compile time.therefore we need to downcast this reference of superclass to subclass reference so as the resultant reference can know about the presence of methods in the subclass i.e Bone

Convert canvas to PDF

A better solution would be using Kendo ui draw dom to export to pdf-

Suppose the following html file which contains the canvas tag:

<script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2017.2.621/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>

    <script type="x/kendo-template" id="page-template">
     <div class="page-template">
            <div class="header">

            </div>
            <div class="footer" style="text-align: center">

                <h2> #:pageNum# </h2>
            </div>
      </div>
    </script>
    <canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
    <button onclick="ExportPdf()">download</button>

Now after that in your script write down the following and it will be done:

function ExportPdf(){ 
kendo.drawing
    .drawDOM("#myCanvas", 
    { 
        forcePageBreak: ".page-break", 
        paperSize: "A4",
        margin: { top: "1cm", bottom: "1cm" },
        scale: 0.8,
        height: 500, 
        template: $("#page-template").html(),
        keepTogether: ".prevent-split"
    })
        .then(function(group){
        kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "Exported_Itinerary.pdf")
    });
}

And that is it, Write anything in that canvas and simply press that download button all exported into PDF. Here is a link to Kendo UI - http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/drawing/drawing-dom And a blog to better understand the whole process - https://www.cronj.com/blog/export-htmlcss-pdf-using-javascript/

How can I capture the result of var_dump to a string?

function return_var_dump(){
    // It works like var_dump, but it returns a string instead of printing it.
    $args = func_get_args(); // For <5.3.0 support ...
    ob_start();
    call_user_func_array('var_dump', $args);
    return ob_get_clean();
}

Malformed String ValueError ast.literal_eval() with String representation of Tuple

Use eval() instead of ast.literal_eval() if the input is trusted (which it is in your case).

for a in raw_data : 
    print a
    btc_history.append(eval(a))

This works for me in Python 3.6.0

Convert double to float in Java

Converting from double to float will be a narrowing conversion. From the doc:

A narrowing primitive conversion may lose information about the overall magnitude of a numeric value and may also lose precision and range.

A narrowing primitive conversion from double to float is governed by the IEEE 754 rounding rules (§4.2.4). This conversion can lose precision, but also lose range, resulting in a float zero from a nonzero double and a float infinity from a finite double. A double NaN is converted to a float NaN and a double infinity is converted to the same-signed float infinity.

So it is not a good idea. If you still want it you can do it like:

double d = 3.0;
float f = (float) d;

Plot two histograms on single chart with matplotlib

Here you have a working example:

import random
import numpy
from matplotlib import pyplot

x = [random.gauss(3,1) for _ in range(400)]
y = [random.gauss(4,2) for _ in range(400)]

bins = numpy.linspace(-10, 10, 100)

pyplot.hist(x, bins, alpha=0.5, label='x')
pyplot.hist(y, bins, alpha=0.5, label='y')
pyplot.legend(loc='upper right')
pyplot.show()

How to make a local variable (inside a function) global

Simply declare your variable outside any function:

globalValue = 1

def f(x):
    print(globalValue + x)

If you need to assign to the global from within the function, use the global statement:

def f(x):
    global globalValue
    print(globalValue + x)
    globalValue += 1

Count(*) vs Count(1) - SQL Server

There is no difference.

Reason:

Books on-line says "COUNT ( { [ [ ALL | DISTINCT ] expression ] | * } )"

"1" is a non-null expression: so it's the same as COUNT(*). The optimizer recognizes it for what it is: trivial.

The same as EXISTS (SELECT * ... or EXISTS (SELECT 1 ...

Example:

SELECT COUNT(1) FROM dbo.tab800krows
SELECT COUNT(1),FKID FROM dbo.tab800krows GROUP BY FKID

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.tab800krows
SELECT COUNT(*),FKID FROM dbo.tab800krows GROUP BY FKID

Same IO, same plan, the works

Edit, Aug 2011

Similar question on DBA.SE.

Edit, Dec 2011

COUNT(*) is mentioned specifically in ANSI-92 (look for "Scalar expressions 125")

Case:

a) If COUNT(*) is specified, then the result is the cardinality of T.

That is, the ANSI standard recognizes it as bleeding obvious what you mean. COUNT(1) has been optimized out by RDBMS vendors because of this superstition. Otherwise it would be evaluated as per ANSI

b) Otherwise, let TX be the single-column table that is the result of applying the <value expression> to each row of T and eliminating null values. If one or more null values are eliminated, then a completion condition is raised: warning-

Rebuild or regenerate 'ic_launcher.png' from images in Android Studio

the answers above were confusing to me. Here is what i did:

  • File ->new Image Asset
  • the first field "Asset type" must be launcher icons. browse to the file you want as icon, select it and android studio will show you in the same window what it will look like under different resolutions.

  • choose a different name for it, click next. Now the icon set for all those hdpi, xhdpi, mdpi will be in corresponding mipmap folders

  • finally, most importantly go to your manifest file and change "android:icon" to the name of your new icon image.

How to make VS Code to treat other file extensions as certain language?

I have followed a different approach to solve pretty much the same problem, in my case, I made a new extension that adds PHP syntax highlighting support for Drupal-specific files (such as .module and .inc): https://github.com/mastazi/VS-code-drupal

As you can see in the code, I created a new extension rather than modifying the existing PHP extension. Obviously I declare a dependency on the PHP extension in the Drupal extension.

The advantage of doing it this way is that if there is an update to the PHP extension, my custom support for Drupal doesn't get lost in the update process.

How to convert a number to string and vice versa in C++

In C++17, new functions std::to_chars and std::from_chars are introduced in header charconv.

std::to_chars is locale-independent, non-allocating, and non-throwing.

Only a small subset of formatting policies used by other libraries (such as std::sprintf) is provided.

From std::to_chars, same for std::from_chars.

The guarantee that std::from_chars can recover every floating-point value formatted by to_chars exactly is only provided if both functions are from the same implementation

 // See en.cppreference.com for more information, including format control.
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstddef>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cassert>
#include <charconv>

using Type =  /* Any fundamental type */ ;
std::size_t buffer_size = /* ... */ ;

[[noreturn]] void report_and_exit(int ret, const char *output) noexcept 
{
    std::printf("%s\n", output);
    std::exit(ret);
}
void check(const std::errc &ec) noexcept
{
    if (ec ==  std::errc::value_too_large)
        report_and_exit(1, "Failed");
}
int main() {
    char buffer[buffer_size];        
    Type val_to_be_converted, result_of_converted_back;

    auto result1 = std::to_chars(buffer, buffer + buffer_size,  val_to_be_converted);
    check(result1.ec);
    *result1.ptr = '\0';

    auto result2 = std::from_chars(buffer, result1.ptr, result_of_converted_back);
    check(result2.ec);

    assert(val_to_be_converted == result_of_converted_back);
    report_and_exit(0, buffer);
}

Although it's not fully implemented by compilers, it definitely will be implemented.

When would you use the Builder Pattern?

For a multi-threaded problem, we needed a complex object to be built up for each thread. The object represented the data being processed, and could change depending on the user input.

Could we use a factory instead? Yes

Why didn't we? Builder makes more sense I guess.

Factories are used for creating different types of objects that are the same basic type (implement the same interface or base class).

Builders build the same type of object over and over, but the construction is dynamic so it can be changed at runtime.

How to get current working directory using vba?

Use these codes and enjoy it.

Public Function GetDirectoryName(ByVal source As String) As String()
Dim fso, oFolder, oSubfolder, oFile, queue As Collection
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set queue = New Collection

Dim source_file() As String
Dim i As Integer        

queue.Add fso.GetFolder(source) 'obviously replace

Do While queue.Count > 0
    Set oFolder = queue(1)
    queue.Remove 1 'dequeue
    '...insert any folder processing code here...
    For Each oSubfolder In oFolder.SubFolders
        queue.Add oSubfolder 'enqueue
    Next oSubfolder
    For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
        '...insert any file processing code here...
        'Debug.Print oFile
        i = i + 1
        ReDim Preserve source_file(i)
        source_file(i) = oFile
    Next oFile
Loop
GetDirectoryName = source_file
End Function

And here you can call function:

Sub test()
Dim s
For Each s In GetDirectoryName("C:\New folder")
Debug.Print s
Next
End Sub

How to get Map data using JDBCTemplate.queryForMap

I know this is really old, but this is the simplest way to query for Map.

Simply implement the ResultSetExtractor interface to define what type you want to return. Below is an example of how to use this. You'll be mapping it manually, but for a simple map, it should be straightforward.

jdbcTemplate.query("select string1,string2 from table where x=1", new ResultSetExtractor<Map>(){
    @Override
    public Map extractData(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException,DataAccessException {
        HashMap<String,String> mapRet= new HashMap<String,String>();
        while(rs.next()){
            mapRet.put(rs.getString("string1"),rs.getString("string2"));
        }
        return mapRet;
    }
});

This will give you a return type of Map that has multiple rows (however many your query returned) and not a list of Maps. You can view the ResultSetExtractor docs here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/2.5.6/api/org/springframework/jdbc/core/ResultSetExtractor.html

How do I change db schema to dbo

Use this code if you want to change all tables, views, and procedures at once.

BEGIN
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(MAX)
        , @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
        , @oldSchema NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'MyOldSchema'
        , @newSchema NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'dbo'
        
DECLARE objCursor CURSOR FOR
        SELECT  o.name
        FROM    sys.objects o
        WHERE   type IN ('P', 'U', 'V')

OPEN    objCursor
        FETCH NEXT FROM objCursor INTO @name
        WHILE   @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
        BEGIN
            SET @sql = 'ALTER SCHEMA '+ @newSchema +' TRANSFER '+ @oldSchema + '.' +  @name         
            BEGIN TRY
                exec(@sql)
                PRINT 'Success: ' + @sql
            END TRY
            BEGIN CATCH
                PRINT 'Error executing: ' + @sql
            END CATCH
            FETCH NEXT FROM objCursor INTO @name
        END
CLOSE   objCursor
DEALLOCATE  objCursor

END

It will execute a code like this

ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER MyOldSchema.xx_GetUserInformation

Array to Hash Ruby

a = ["item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4"]
Hash[ a.each_slice( 2 ).map { |e| e } ]

or, if you hate Hash[ ... ]:

a.each_slice( 2 ).each_with_object Hash.new do |(k, v), h| h[k] = v end

or, if you are a lazy fan of broken functional programming:

h = a.lazy.each_slice( 2 ).tap { |a|
  break Hash.new { |h, k| h[k] = a.find { |e, _| e == k }[1] }
}
#=> {}
h["item 1"] #=> "item 2"
h["item 3"] #=> "item 4"

How to save a pandas DataFrame table as a png

The best solution to your problem is probably to first export your dataframe to HTML and then convert it using an HTML-to-image tool. The final appearance could be tweaked via CSS.

Popular options for HTML-to-image rendering include:


Let us assume we have a dataframe named df. We can generate one with the following code:

import string
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd


np.random.seed(0)  # just to get reproducible results from `np.random`
rows, cols = 5, 10
labels = list(string.ascii_uppercase[:cols])
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 100, size=(5, 10)), columns=labels)
print(df)
#     A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I   J
# 0  44  47  64  67  67   9  83  21  36  87
# 1  70  88  88  12  58  65  39  87  46  88
# 2  81  37  25  77  72   9  20  80  69  79
# 3  47  64  82  99  88  49  29  19  19  14
# 4  39  32  65   9  57  32  31  74  23  35

Using WeasyPrint

This approach uses a pip-installable package, which will allow you to do everything using the Python ecosystem. One shortcoming of weasyprint is that it does not seem to provide a way of adapting the image size to its content. Anyway, removing some background from an image is relatively easy in Python / PIL, and it is implemented in the trim() function below (adapted from here). One also would need to make sure that the image will be large enough, and this can be done with CSS's @page size property.

The code follows:

import weasyprint as wsp
import PIL as pil


def trim(source_filepath, target_filepath=None, background=None):
    if not target_filepath:
        target_filepath = source_filepath
    img = pil.Image.open(source_filepath)
    if background is None:
        background = img.getpixel((0, 0))
    border = pil.Image.new(img.mode, img.size, background)
    diff = pil.ImageChops.difference(img, border)
    bbox = diff.getbbox()
    img = img.crop(bbox) if bbox else img
    img.save(target_filepath)


img_filepath = 'table1.png'
css = wsp.CSS(string='''
@page { size: 2048px 2048px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; }
table, td, tr, th { border: 1px solid black; }
td, th { padding: 4px 8px; }
''')
html = wsp.HTML(string=df.to_html())
html.write_png(img_filepath, stylesheets=[css])
trim(img_filepath)

table_weasyprint


Using wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage

This approach uses an external open source tool and this needs to be installed prior to the generation of the image. There is also a Python package, pdfkit, that serves as a front-end to it (it does not waive you from installing the core software yourself), but I will not use it.

wkhtmltoimage can be simply called using subprocess (or any other similar means of running an external program in Python). One would also need to output to disk the HTML file.

The code follows:

import subprocess


df.to_html('table2.html')
subprocess.call(
    'wkhtmltoimage -f png --width 0 table2.html table2.png', shell=True)

table_wkhtmltoimage

and its aspect could be further tweaked with CSS similarly to the other approach.


Dynamically Add C# Properties at Runtime

you could deserialize your json string into a dictionary and then add new properties then serialize it.

 var jsonString = @"{}";

        var jsonDoc = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(jsonString);

        jsonDoc.Add("Name", "Khurshid Ali");

        Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(jsonDoc));

Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain

if your certificate is not valid, it will have a red "x" and state the reason why. Generally the reason is "This certificate has expired" or "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority.

to solve this you need to do the following step.

  1. If your certificate has expired, renew it at the iPhone Portal, download it, and double-click it to add it to your Keychain.
  2. If it's "signed by an unknown authority", download the "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations" certificate from the Certificates section of the iPhone Developer portal and double-click it to add it to your Keychain.
  3. If your certificate was revoked, delete the certificate from your Keychain, then follow the "Obtaining your iPhone Development Certificate" or "Obtaining your iPhone Distribution Certificate" section in the iPhone Developer Program Portal User Guide to generate a new certificate.
  4. Make sure you create a backup of your private key. The steps for doing this are described in the iPhone Developer Program Portal User Guide, under "Saving your Private Key and Transferring to other Systems".
  5. If you have the iPhone Developer (or iPhone Distribution) certificate and its associated private key, the Apple WWDR Intermediate certificate is installed, and your certificate is valid, confirm that Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) are set to "Off" in Keychain Access > Preferences > Certificates.
  6. if you still getting problem then contact support apple community.

Bootstrap: wider input field

I am going to assume you were having the same issue I was. Even though you specify larger sizes for the TextBox and mark it as important, the box would not get larger. That is likely because in your site.css file the MaxWidth is being set to 280px.

Add a style attribute to your input to remove the MaxWidth like this:

<input type="text"  style="max-width:none !important" class="input-medium">

How do I raise an exception in Rails so it behaves like other Rails exceptions?

You don't have to do anything special, it should just be working.

When I have a fresh rails app with this controller:

class FooController < ApplicationController
  def index
    raise "error"
  end
end

and go to http://127.0.0.1:3000/foo/

I am seeing the exception with a stack trace.

You might not see the whole stacktrace in the console log because Rails (since 2.3) filters lines from the stack trace that come from the framework itself.

See config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb in your Rails project

How to center a Window in Java?

Note that both the setLocationRelativeTo(null) and Tookit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize() techniques work only for the primary monitor. If you are in a multi-monitor environment, you may need to get information about the specific monitor the window is on before doing this kind of calculation.

Sometimes important, sometimes not...

Is the order of elements in a JSON list preserved?

Yes, the order of elements in JSON arrays is preserved. From RFC 7159 -The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format (emphasis mine):

An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.

An array is an ordered sequence of zero or more values.

The terms "object" and "array" come from the conventions of JavaScript.

Some implementations do also preserve the order of JSON objects as well, but this is not guaranteed.

(Adding to previous answers (hope that helps someone):)

Age is simpler but in case of string and with ignoring case:

  • To find first instance/index:

@fathers.find { |father| father[:name].casecmp("john") == 0 }

  • To select all such indices:

@fathers.select { |father| father[:name].casecmp("john") == 0 }

How do I create a new branch?

Branches in SVN are essentially directories; you don't name the branch so much as choose the name of the directory to branch into.

The common way of 'naming' a branch is to place it under a directory called branches in your repository. In the "To URL:" portion of TortoiseSVN's Branch dialog, you would therefore enter something like:

(svn/http)://path-to-repo/branches/your-branch-name

The main branch of a project is referred to as the trunk, and is usually located in:

(svn/http)://path-to-repo/trunk

CAST to DECIMAL in MySQL

From MySQL docs: Fixed-Point Types (Exact Value) - DECIMAL, NUMERIC:

In standard SQL, the syntax DECIMAL(M) is equivalent to DECIMAL(M,0)

So, you are converting to a number with 2 integer digits and 0 decimal digits. Try this instead:

CAST((COUNT(*) * 1.5) AS DECIMAL(12,2)) 

Forward request headers from nginx proxy server

If you want to pass the variable to your proxy backend, you have to set it with the proxy module.

location / {
    proxy_pass                      http://example.com;
    proxy_set_header                Host example.com;
    proxy_set_header                HTTP_Country-Code $geoip_country_code;
    proxy_pass_request_headers      on;
}

And now it's passed to the proxy backend.

Use of var keyword in C#

var is a placeholder introduced for the anonymous types in C# 3.0 and LINQ.

As such, it allows writing LINQ queries for a fewer amount of columns within, let's say, a collection. No need to duplicate the information in memory, only load what's necessary to accomplish what you need to be done.

The use of var is not bad at all, as it is actually not a type, but as mentioned elsewhere, a placeholder for the type which is and has to be defined on the right-hand side of the equation. Then, the compiler will replace the keyword with the type itself.

It is particularly useful when, even with IntelliSense, the name of a type is long to type. Just write var, and instantiate it. The other programmers who will read your code afterward will easily understand what you're doing.

It's like using

public object SomeObject { get; set; }

instead of:

public object SomeObject {
    get {
        return _someObject;
    } 
    set {
        _someObject = value;
    }
}
private object _someObject;

Everyone knows what's the property's doing, as everyone knows what the var keyword is doing, and either examples tend to ease readability by making it lighter, and make it more pleasant for the programmer to write effective code.

Spring profiles and testing

Looking at Biju's answer I found a working solution.

I created an extra context-file test-context.xml:

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:config/spring-test.properties"/>

Containing the profile:

spring.profiles.active=localtest

And loading the test with:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({
    TestPreperationExecutionListener.class
    })
@Transactional
@ActiveProfiles(profiles = "localtest")
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
    "classpath:config/test-context.xml" })
public class TestContext {

  @Test
  public void testContext(){

  }
}

This saves some work when creating multiple test-cases.

Removing all empty elements from a hash / YAML?

I believe it would be best to use a self recursive method. That way it goes as deep as is needed. This will delete the key value pair if the value is nil or an empty Hash.

class Hash
  def compact
    delete_if {|k,v| v.is_a?(Hash) ? v.compact.empty? : v.nil? }
  end
end

Then using it will look like this:

x = {:a=>{:b=>2, :c=>3}, :d=>nil, :e=>{:f=>nil}, :g=>{}}
# => {:a=>{:b=>2, :c=>3}, :d=>nil, :e=>{:f=>nil}, :g=>{}} 
x.compact
# => {:a=>{:b=>2, :c=>3}}

To keep empty hashes you can simplify this to.

class Hash
  def compact
    delete_if {|k,v| v.compact if v.is_a?(Hash); v.nil? }
  end
end

Pass multiple complex objects to a post/put Web API method

Here I found a workaround to pass multiple generic objects (as json) from jquery to a WEB API using JObject, and then cast back to your required specific object type in api controller. This objects provides a concrete type specifically designed for working with JSON.

var combinedObj = {}; 
combinedObj["obj1"] = [your json object 1]; 
combinedObj["obj2"] = [your json object 2];

$http({
       method: 'POST',
       url: 'api/PostGenericObjects/',
       data: JSON.stringify(combinedObj)
    }).then(function successCallback(response) {
         // this callback will be called asynchronously
         // when the response is available
         alert("Saved Successfully !!!");
    }, function errorCallback(response) {
         // called asynchronously if an error occurs
         // or server returns response with an error status.
         alert("Error : " + response.data.ExceptionMessage);
});

and then you can get this object in your controller

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

public [OBJECT] PostGenericObjects(object obj)
    {
        string[] str = GeneralMethods.UnWrapObjects(obj);
        var item1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ObjectType1>(str[0]);
        var item2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ObjectType2>(str[1]);

        return *something*;
    } 

I have made a generic function to unwrap the complex object, so there is no limitation of number of objects while sending and unwrapping. We can even send more than two objects

public class GeneralMethods
{
    public static string[] UnWrapObjects(object obj)
    {
        JObject o = JObject.Parse(obj.ToString());

        string[] str = new string[o.Count];

        for (int i = 0; i < o.Count; i++)
        {
            string var = "obj" + (i + 1).ToString();
            str[i] = o[var].ToString(); 
        }

        return str;
    }

}

I have posted the solution to my blog with a little more description with simpler code to integrate easily.

Any tools to generate an XSD schema from an XML instance document?

Altova XmlSpy does this well - you can find an overview here

refresh both the External data source and pivot tables together within a time schedule

Under the connection properties, uncheck "Enable background refresh". This will make the connection refresh when told to, not in the background as other processes happen.

With background refresh disabled, your VBA procedure will wait for your external data to refresh before moving to the next line of code.

Then you just modify the following code:

ActiveWorkbook.Connections("CONNECTION_NAME").Refresh
Sheets("SHEET_NAME").PivotTables("PIVOT_TABLE_NAME").PivotCache.Refresh

You can also turn off background refresh in VBA:

ActiveWorkbook.Connections("CONNECTION_NAME").ODBCConnection.BackgroundQuery = False

Need to ZIP an entire directory using Node.js

Use Node's native child_process api to accomplish this.

No need for third party libs. Two lines of code.

const child_process = require("child_process");
child_process.execSync(`zip -r DESIRED_NAME_OF_ZIP_FILE_HERE *`, {
  cwd: PATH_TO_FOLDER_YOU_WANT_ZIPPED_HERE
});

I'm using the synchronous API. You can use child_process.exec(path, options, callback) if you need async. There are a lot more options than just specifying the CWD to further finetune your requests. See exec/execSync docs.


Please note: This example assumes you have the zip utility installed on your system (it comes with OSX, at least). Some operating systems may not have utility installed (i.e., AWS Lambda runtime doesn't). In that case, you can easily obtain the zip utility binary here and package it along with your application source code (for AWS Lambda you can package it in a Lambda Layer as well), or you'll have to either use a third party module (of which there are plenty on NPM). I prefer the former approach, as the ZIP utility is tried and tested for decades.

jQuery - disable selected options

This will disable/enable the options when you select/remove them, respectively.

$("#theSelect").change(function(){          
    var value = $(this).val();
    if (value === '') return;
    var theDiv = $(".is" + value);

    var option = $("option[value='" + value + "']", this);
    option.attr("disabled","disabled");

    theDiv.slideDown().removeClass("hidden");
    theDiv.find('a').data("option",option);
});


$("div a.remove").click(function () {     
    $(this).parent().slideUp(function() { $(this).addClass("hidden"); });
    $(this).data("option").removeAttr('disabled');
});

Static Classes In Java

You cannot use the static keyword with a class unless it is an inner class. A static inner class is a nested class which is a static member of the outer class. It can be accessed without instantiating the outer class, using other static members. Just like static members, a static nested class does not have access to the instance variables and methods of the outer class.

public class Outer {
   static class Nested_Demo {
      public void my_method() {
          System.out.println("This is my nested class");
      }
   }
public static void main(String args[]) {
      Outer.Nested_Demo nested = new Outer.Nested_Demo();
      nested.my_method();
   }
}

Android M Permissions: onRequestPermissionsResult() not being called

This issue was actually being caused by NestedFragments. Basically most fragments we have extend a HostedFragment which in turn extends a CompatFragment. Having these nested fragments caused issues which eventually were solved by another developer on the project.

He was doing some low level stuff like bit switching to get this working so I'm not too sure of the actual final solution

catching stdout in realtime from subprocess

    p = subprocess.Popen(command,
                                bufsize=0,
                                universal_newlines=True)

I am writing a GUI for rsync in python, and have the same probelms. This problem has troubled me for several days until i find this in pyDoc.

If universal_newlines is True, the file objects stdout and stderr are opened as text files in universal newlines mode. Lines may be terminated by any of '\n', the Unix end-of-line convention, '\r', the old Macintosh convention or '\r\n', the Windows convention. All of these external representations are seen as '\n' by the Python program.

It seems that rsync will output '\r' when translate is going on.

How to set .net Framework 4.5 version in IIS 7 application pool

Difference between $.ajax() and $.get() and $.load()

$.get = $.ajax({type: 'GET'});

$.load() is a helper function which only can be invoked on elements.

$.ajax() gives you most control. you can specify if you want to POST data, got more callbacks etc.

Why declare unicode by string in python?

I made the following module called unicoder to be able to do the transformation on variables:

import sys
import os

def ustr(string):

    string = 'u"%s"'%string

    with open('_unicoder.py', 'w') as script:

        script.write('# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n')
        script.write('_ustr = %s'%string)

    import _unicoder
    value = _unicoder._ustr

    del _unicoder
    del sys.modules['_unicoder']

    os.system('del _unicoder.py')
    os.system('del _unicoder.pyc')

    return value

Then in your program you could do the following:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from unicoder import ustr

txt = 'Hello, Unicode World'
txt = ustr(txt)

print type(txt) # <type 'unicode'>

Is it possible to use a div as content for Twitter's Popover

In addition to other replies. If you allow html in options you can pass jQuery object to content, and it will be appended to popover's content with all events and bindings. Here is the logic from source code:

  • if you pass a function it will be called to unwrap content data
  • if html is not allowed content data will be applied as text
  • if html allowed and content data is string it will be applied as html
  • otherwise content data will be appended to popover's content container
$("#popover-button").popover({
    content: $("#popover-content"),
    html: true,
    title: "Popover title"
});

What exactly does numpy.exp() do?

It calculates ex for each x in your list where e is Euler's number (approximately 2.718). In other words, np.exp(range(5)) is similar to [math.e**x for x in range(5)].

            ListRowCount = 1
        Else
            ListRowCount = .End(xlDown).row - .row + 1
        End If
    End With
End Function

But if you are damn sure there's nothing around the list, then just thisworkbook.Names(FirstCellName).RefersToRange.CurrentRegion.rows.count

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

Styling Password Fields in CSS

I found I could improve the situation a little with CSS dedicated to Webkit (Safari, Chrome). However, I had to set a fixed width and height on the field because the font change will resize the field.

  INPUT[type="password"]{
  font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;
  height:28px;
  font-size:19px;
  width:223px;
  padding:5px;
  }
} /* END WEBKIT */

#up { background: green; display: table-row; }
#down { background:pink; display: table-row;}

As you can see gulp deep down depends on a very old version. Unfortunately, I can't update that myself using npm update graceful-fs. gulp would need to update their dependencies.

    SELECT * FROM a;

  END LOOP;

  CLOSE cur1;

call curdemo();

Remove redundant paths from $PATH variable

Linux: Remove redundant paths from $PATH variable

Linux From Scratch has this function in /etc/profile

# Functions to help us manage paths.  Second argument is the name of the
# path variable to be modified (default: PATH)
pathremove () {
        local IFS=':'
        local NEWPATH
        local DIR
        local PATHVARIABLE=${2:-PATH}
        for DIR in ${!PATHVARIABLE} ; do
                if [ "$DIR" != "$1" ] ; then
                  NEWPATH=${NEWPATH:+$NEWPATH:}$DIR
                fi
        done
        export $PATHVARIABLE="$NEWPATH"
}

This is intended to be used with these functions for adding to the path, so that you don't do it redundantly:

pathprepend () {
        pathremove $1 $2
        local PATHVARIABLE=${2:-PATH}
        export $PATHVARIABLE="$1${!PATHVARIABLE:+:${!PATHVARIABLE}}"
}

pathappend () {
        pathremove $1 $2
        local PATHVARIABLE=${2:-PATH}
        export $PATHVARIABLE="${!PATHVARIABLE:+${!PATHVARIABLE}:}$1"
}

Simple usage is to just give pathremove the directory path to remove - but keep in mind that it has to match exactly:

$ pathremove /home/username/anaconda3/bin

This will remove each instance of that directory from your path.

If you want the directory in your path, but without the redundancies, you could just use one of the other functions, e.g. - for your specific case:

$ pathprepend /usr/local/sbin
$ pathappend /usr/local/bin
$ pathappend /usr/sbin
$ pathappend /usr/bin
$ pathappend /sbin
$ pathappend /bin
$ pathappend /usr/games

But, unless readability is the concern, at this point you're better off just doing:

$ export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Would the above work in all shells known to man?

I would presume the above to work in sh, dash, and bash at least. I would be surprised to learn it doesn't work in csh, fish', orksh`. I doubt it would work in Windows command shell or Powershell.

If you have Python, the following sort of command should do what is directly asked (that is, remove redundant paths):

$ PATH=$( python -c "
import os
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(':')
print(':'.join(sorted(set(path), key=path.index)))
" )

A one-liner (to sidestep multiline issues):

$ PATH=$( python -c "import os; path = os.environ['PATH'].split(':'); print(':'.join(sorted(set(path), key=path.index)))" )

The above removes later redundant paths. To remove earlier redundant paths, use a reversed list's index and reverse it again:

$ PATH=$( python -c "
import os
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(':')[::-1]
print(':'.join(sorted(set(path), key=path.index, reverse=True)))
" )

Switch case in C# - a constant value is expected

Now you can use nameof:

public static void Output<T>(IEnumerable<T> dataSource) where T : class
{
    string dataSourceName = typeof(T).Name;
    switch (dataSourceName)
    {
        case nameof(CustomerDetails):
            var t = 123;
            break;
        default:
            Console.WriteLine("Test");
    }
}

nameof(CustomerDetails) is basically identical to the string literal "CustomerDetails", but with a compile-time check that it refers to some symbol (to prevent a typo).

nameof appeared in C# 6.0, so after this question was asked.

FirstOrDefault returns NullReferenceException if no match is found

$apply already in progress error

You are getting this error because you are calling $apply inside an existing digestion cycle.

The big question is: why are you calling $apply? You shouldn't ever need to call $apply unless you are interfacing from a non-Angular event. The existence of $apply usually means I am doing something wrong (unless, again, the $apply happens from a non-Angular event).

If $apply really is appropriate here, consider using a "safe apply" approach:

Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths - why?

None of the aforementioned solutions worked for me. What I had to do was use a nullable int (int?) on the foreign key that was not required (or not a not null column key) and then delete some of my migrations.

Start by deleting the migrations, then try the nullable int.

Problem was both a modification and model design. No code change was necessary.

Getters \ setters for dummies

Getters and setters really only make sense when you have private properties of classes. Since Javascript doesn't really have private class properties as you would normally think of from Object Oriented Languages, it can be hard to understand. Here is one example of a private counter object. The nice thing about this object is that the internal variable "count" cannot be accessed from outside the object.

dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 3; 2 is required

This error raised up because you trying to update dict object by using a wrong sequence (list or tuple) structure.

cash_id.create(cr, uid, lines,context=None) trying to convert lines into dict object:

(0, 0, {
    'name': l.name,
    'date': l.date,
    'amount': l.amount,
    'type': l.type,
    'statement_id': exp.statement_id.id,
    'account_id': l.account_id.id,
    'account_analytic_id': l.analytic_account_id.id,
    'ref': l.ref,
    'note': l.note,
    'company_id': l.company_id.id
})

Remove the second zero from this tuple to properly convert it into a dict object.

To test it your self, try this into python shell:

>>> l=[(0,0,{'h':88})]
>>> a={}
>>> a.update(l)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module>

How to switch from POST to GET in PHP CURL

CURL request by default is GET, you don't have to set any options to make a GET CURL request.

Does mobile Google Chrome support browser extensions?

You can use bookmarklets (javascript code in a bookmark) - this also means they sync across devices.

I have loads - I prefix the name with zzz, so they are eazy to type in to the address bar and show in drop down predictions.

To get them to operate on a page you need to go to the page and then in the address bar type the bookmarklet name - this will cause the bookmarklet to execute in the context of the page.

edit

Just to highlight - for this to work, the bookmarklet name must be typed into the address bar while the page you want to operate in is being displayed - if you go off to select the bookmarklet in some other way the page context gets lost, and the bookmarklet operates on a new empty page.

I use zzzpocket - send to pocket. zzztwitter tweet this page zzzmail email this page zzzpressthis send this page to wordpress zzztrello send this page to trello and more...

and it works in chrome whatever platform I am currently logged on to.

PHP split alternative?

I want to clear here that preg_split(); is far away from it but explode(); can be used in similar way as split();

following is the comparison between split(); and explode(); usage

How was split() used

<?php

$date = "04/30/1973";
list($month, $day, $year) = split('[/.-]', $date);
echo $month; // foo
echo $day; // *
echo $year;

?>

URL: http://php.net/manual/en/function.split.php

How explode() can be used

<?php

$data = "04/30/1973";
list($month, $day, $year) = explode("/", $data);
echo $month; // foo
echo $day; // *
echo $year;

?>

URL: http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php

Here is how we can use it :)

How to Join to first row

CROSS APPLY to the rescue:

SELECT Orders.OrderNumber, topline.Quantity, topline.Description
FROM Orders
cross apply
(
    select top 1 Description,Quantity
    from LineItems 
    where Orders.OrderID = LineItems.OrderID
)topline

You can also add the order by of your choice.

Android: Creating a Circular TextView?

Create an texview_design.xml file and populate it with the following code. Put it in res/drawable.

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

        <solid android:color="#98AFC7" />

        <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="#98AFC7" />

        <corners
            android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
            android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
            android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
            android:topRightRadius="20dp" />

    </shape>

Then in your main XML file just add the following line for each TextView:

  android:background="@drawable/texview_design"

Second way (not recommended): circle Download this circle and place it in your drawable folder and then make it your TextView's background. and then set the gravity to center.

Then it will look like this:

    int selectedValue = (int)cmb.SelectedValue;

    ComboboxItem selectedCar = (ComboboxItem)cmb.SelectedItem;
    MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Index: [{0}] CarName={1}; Value={2}", selectedIndex, selectedCar.Text, selecteVal));        
}

How to format numbers as currency string?

grep regex whitespace behavior

This looks like a behavior difference in the handling of \s between grep 2.5 and newer versions (a bug in old grep?). I confirm your result with grep 2.5.4, but all four of your greps do work when using grep 2.6.3 (Ubuntu 10.10).

Note:

GNU grep 2.5.4
echo "foo bar" | grep "\s"
   (doesn't match)

whereas

GNU grep 2.6.3
echo "foo bar" | grep "\s"
foo bar

Probably less trouble (as \s is not documented):

Both GNU greps
echo "foo bar" | grep "[[:space:]]"
foo bar

My advice is to avoid using \s ... use [ \t]* or [[:space:]] or something like it instead.

Using a RegEx to match IP addresses in Python

Using regex to validate IP address is a bad idea - this will pass 999.999.999.999 as valid. Try this approach using socket instead - much better validation and just as easy, if not easier to do.

import socket

def valid_ip(address):
    try: 
        socket.inet_aton(address)
        return True
    except:
        return False

print valid_ip('10.10.20.30')
print valid_ip('999.10.20.30')
print valid_ip('gibberish')

If you really want to use parse-the-host approach instead, this code will do it exactly:

def valid_ip(address):
    try:
        host_bytes = address.split('.')
        valid = [int(b) for b in host_bytes]
        valid = [b for b in valid if b >= 0 and b<=255]
        return len(host_bytes) == 4 and len(valid) == 4
    except:
        return False

Private vs Protected - Visibility Good-Practice Concern

Stop abusing private fields!!!

The comments here seem to be overwhelmingly supportive towards using private fields. Well, then I have something different to say.

Are private fields good in principle? Yes. But saying that a golden rule is make everything private when you're not sure is definitely wrong! You won't see the problem until you run into one. In my opinion, you should mark fields as protected if you're not sure.

There are two cases you want to extend a class:

  • You want to add extra functionality to a base class
  • You want to modify existing class that's outside the current package (in some libraries perhaps)

There's nothing wrong with private fields in the first case. The fact that people are abusing private fields makes it so frustrating when you find out you can't modify shit.

Consider a simple library that models cars:

class Car {
    private screw;
    public assembleCar() {
       screw.install();
    };
    private putScrewsTogether() {
       ...
    };
}

The library author thought: there's no reason the users of my library need to access the implementation detail of assembleCar() right? Let's mark screw as private.

Well, the author is wrong. If you want to modify only the assembleCar() method without copying the whole class into your package, you're out of luck. You have to rewrite your own screw field. Let's say this car uses a dozen of screws, and each of them involves some untrivial initialization code in different private methods, and these screws are all marked private. At this point, it starts to suck.

Yes, you can argue with me that well the library author could have written better code so there's nothing wrong with private fields. I'm not arguing that private field is a problem with OOP. It is a problem when people are using them.

The moral of the story is, if you're writing a library, you never know if your users want to access a particular field. If you're unsure, mark it protected so everyone would be happier later. At least don't abuse private field.

I very much support Nick's answer.

Thats It!

Java Compare Two Lists

EDIT

Here are two versions. One using ArrayList and other using HashSet

Compare them and create your own version from this, until you get what you need.

This should be enough to cover the:

P.S: It is not a school assignment :) So if you just guide me it will be enough

part of your question.

continuing with the original answer:

You may use a java.util.Collection and/or java.util.ArrayList for that.

The retainAll method does the following:

Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection

see this sample:

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class Repeated {
    public static void main( String  [] args ) {
        Collection listOne = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList("milan","dingo", "elpha", "hafil", "meat", "iga", "neeta.peeta"));
        Collection listTwo = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList("hafil", "iga", "binga", "mike", "dingo"));

        listOne.retainAll( listTwo );
        System.out.println( listOne );
    }
}

EDIT

For the second part ( similar values ) you may use the removeAll method:

Removes all of this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection.

This second version gives you also the similar values and handles repeated ( by discarding them).

This time the Collection could be a Set instead of a List ( the difference is, the Set doesn't allow repeated values )

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Arrays;

class Repeated {
      public static void main( String  [] args ) {

          Collection<String> listOne = Arrays.asList("milan","iga",
                                                    "dingo","iga",
                                                    "elpha","iga",
                                                    "hafil","iga",
                                                    "meat","iga", 
                                                    "neeta.peeta","iga");

          Collection<String> listTwo = Arrays.asList("hafil",
                                                     "iga",
                                                     "binga", 
                                                     "mike", 
                                                     "dingo","dingo","dingo");

          Collection<String> similar = new HashSet<String>( listOne );
          Collection<String> different = new HashSet<String>();
          different.addAll( listOne );
          different.addAll( listTwo );

          similar.retainAll( listTwo );
          different.removeAll( similar );

          System.out.printf("One:%s%nTwo:%s%nSimilar:%s%nDifferent:%s%n", listOne, listTwo, similar, different);
      }
}

Output:

$ java Repeated
One:[milan, iga, dingo, iga, elpha, iga, hafil, iga, meat, iga, neeta.peeta, iga]

Two:[hafil, iga, binga, mike, dingo, dingo, dingo]

Similar:[dingo, iga, hafil]

Different:[mike, binga, milan, meat, elpha, neeta.peeta]

If it doesn't do exactly what you need, it gives you a good start so you can handle from here.

Question for the reader: How would you include all the repeated values?

Set a path variable with spaces in the path in a Windows .cmd file or batch file

If you need to store permanent path (path is not changed when cmd is restart)

  1. Run the Command Prompt as administrator (Right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator)

  2. In cmd setx path "%path%;your new path" then enter

  3. Check whether the path is taken correctly by typing path and pressing enter

When should the xlsm or xlsb formats be used?

They're all similar in that they're essentially zip files containing the actual file components. You can see the contents just by replacing the extension with .zip and opening them up. The difference with xlsb seems to be that the components are not XML-based but are in a binary format: supposedly this is beneficial when working with large files.

Appending values to dictionary in Python

If you want to append to the lists of each key inside a dictionary, you can append new values to them using + operator (tested in Python 3.7):

mydict = {'a':[], 'b':[]}
print(mydict)
mydict['a'] += [1,3]
mydict['b'] += [4,6]
print(mydict)
mydict['a'] += [2,8]
print(mydict)

and the output:

{'a': [], 'b': []}
{'a': [1, 3], 'b': [4, 6]}
{'a': [1, 3, 2, 8], 'b': [4, 6]}

mydict['a'].extend([1,3]) will do the job same as + without creating a new list (efficient way).

How can I run an external command asynchronously from Python?

If you want to run many processes in parallel and then handle them when they yield results, you can use polling like in the following:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import time

running_procs = [
    Popen(['/usr/bin/my_cmd', '-i %s' % path], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
    for path in '/tmp/file0 /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2'.split()]

while running_procs:
    for proc in running_procs:
        retcode = proc.poll()
        if retcode is not None: # Process finished.
            running_procs.remove(proc)
            break
        else: # No process is done, wait a bit and check again.
            time.sleep(.1)
            continue

    # Here, `proc` has finished with return code `retcode`
    if retcode != 0:
        """Error handling."""
    handle_results(proc.stdout)

The control flow there is a little bit convoluted because I'm trying to make it small -- you can refactor to your taste. :-)

This has the advantage of servicing the early-finishing requests first. If you call communicate on the first running process and that turns out to run the longest, the other running processes will have been sitting there idle when you could have been handling their results.

JavaScript override methods

Since this is a top hit on Google, I'd like to give an updated answer.

Using ES6 classes makes inheritance and method overriding a lot easier:

'use strict';

class A {
    speak() {
        console.log("I'm A");
    }
}

class B extends A {
    speak() {
        super.speak();

        console.log("I'm B");
    }
}

var a = new A();
a.speak();
// Output:
// I'm A

var b = new B();
b.speak();
// Output:
// I'm A
// I'm B

The super keyword refers to the parent class when used in the inheriting class. Also, all methods on the parent class are bound to the instance of the child, so you don't have to write super.method.apply(this);.

As for compatibility: the ES6 compatibility table shows only the most recent versions of the major players support classes (mostly). V8 browsers have had them since January of this year (Chrome and Opera), and Firefox, using the SpiderMonkey JS engine, will see classes next month with their official Firefox 45 release. On the mobile side, Android still does not support this feature, while iOS 9, release five months ago, has partial support.

Fortunately, there is Babel, a JS library for re-compiling Harmony code into ES5 code. Classes, and a lot of other cool features in ES6 can make your Javascript code a lot more readable and maintainable.

Why is this HTTP request not working on AWS Lambda?

Of course, I was misunderstanding the problem. As AWS themselves put it:

For those encountering nodejs for the first time in Lambda, a common error is forgetting that callbacks execute asynchronously and calling context.done() in the original handler when you really meant to wait for another callback (such as an S3.PUT operation) to complete, forcing the function to terminate with its work incomplete.

I was calling context.done way before any callbacks for the request fired, causing the termination of my function ahead of time.

The working code is this:

var http = require('http');

exports.handler = function(event, context) {
  console.log('start request to ' + event.url)
  http.get(event.url, function(res) {
    console.log("Got response: " + res.statusCode);
    context.succeed();
  }).on('error', function(e) {
    console.log("Got error: " + e.message);
    context.done(null, 'FAILURE');
  });

  console.log('end request to ' + event.url);
}

Update: starting 2017 AWS has deprecated the old Nodejs 0.10 and only the newer 4.3 run-time is now available (old functions should be updated). This runtime introduced some changes to the handler function. The new handler has now 3 parameters.

function(event, context, callback)

Although you will still find the succeed, done and fail on the context parameter, AWS suggest to use the callback function instead or null is returned by default.

callback(new Error('failure')) // to return error
callback(null, 'success msg') // to return ok

Complete documentation can be found at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-prog-model-handler.html

A non-blocking read on a subprocess.PIPE in Python

Working from J.F. Sebastian's answer, and several other sources, I've put together a simple subprocess manager. It provides the request non-blocking reading, as well as running several processes in parallel. It doesn't use any OS-specific call (that I'm aware) and thus should work anywhere.

It's available from pypi, so just pip install shelljob. Refer to the project page for examples and full docs.

Trim last 3 characters of a line WITHOUT using sed, or perl, etc

Another answer relies on the third-to-last character being a space. This will work with (almost) any character in that position and does it "WITHOUT using sed, or perl, etc.":

while read -r line
do
    echo ${line:0:${#line}-3}
done

If your lines are fixed length change the echo to:

echo ${line:0:9}

or

printf "%.10s\n" "$line"

but each of these is definitely much slower than sed.

*.h or *.hpp for your class definitions

I always considered the .hpp header to be a sort of portmanteau of .h and .cpp files...a header which contains implementation details as well.

Typically when I've seen (and use) .hpp as an extension, there is no corresponding .cpp file. As others have said, this isn't a hard and fast rule, just how I tend to use .hpp files.

How to draw border on just one side of a linear layout?

Get data type of field in select statement in ORACLE

I found a not-very-intuitive way to do this by using DUMP()

SELECT DUMP(A.NAME), 
       DUMP(A.surname), 
       DUMP(B.ordernum) 
FROM   customer A 
       JOIN orders B 
         ON A.id = B.id

It will return something like:

'Typ=1 Len=2: 0,48' for each column.

Type=1 means VARCHAR2/NVARCHAR2
Type=2 means NUMBER/FLOAT
Type=12 means DATE, etc.

You can refer to this oracle doc for information Datatype Code
or this for a simple mapping Oracle Type Code Mappings

Collection that allows only unique items in .NET?

Just to add my 2 cents...

if you need a ValueExistingException-throwing HashSet<T> you can also create your collection easily:

public class ThrowingHashSet<T> : ICollection<T>
{
    private HashSet<T> innerHash = new HashSet<T>();

    public void Add(T item)
    {
        if (!innerHash.Add(item))
            throw new ValueExistingException();
    }

    public void Clear()
    {
        innerHash.Clear();
    }

    public bool Contains(T item)
    {
        return innerHash.Contains(item);
    }

    public void CopyTo(T[] array, int arrayIndex)
    {
        innerHash.CopyTo(array, arrayIndex);
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get { return innerHash.Count; }
    }

    public bool IsReadOnly
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    public bool Remove(T item)
    {
        return innerHash.Remove(item);
    }

    public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator()
    {
        return innerHash.GetEnumerator();
    }

    System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return this.GetEnumerator();
    }
}

this can be useful for example if you need it in many places...

Map with Key as String and Value as List in Groovy

One additional small piece that is helpful when dealing with maps/list as the value in a map is the withDefault(Closure) method on maps in groovy. Instead of doing the following code:

Map m = [:]
for(object in listOfObjects)
{
  if(m.containsKey(object.myKey))
  {
    m.get(object.myKey).add(object.myValue)
  }
  else
  {
    m.put(object.myKey, [object.myValue]
  }
}

You can do the following:

Map m = [:].withDefault{key -> return []}
for(object in listOfObjects)
{
  List valueList = m.get(object.myKey)
  m.put(object.myKey, valueList)
}

With default can be used for other things as well, but I find this the most common use case for me.

Speed tradeoff of Java's -Xms and -Xmx options

The -Xmx argument defines the max memory size that the heap can reach for the JVM. You must know your program well and see how it performs under load and set this parameter accordingly. A low value can cause OutOfMemoryExceptions or a very poor performance if your program's heap memory is reaching the maximum heap size. If your program is running in dedicated server you can set this parameter higher because it wont affect other programs.

The -Xms argument sets the initial heap memory size for the JVM. This means that when you start your program the JVM will allocate this amount of memory instantly. This is useful if your program will consume a large amount of heap memory right from the start. This avoids the JVM to be constantly increasing the heap and can gain some performance there. If you don't know if this parameter is going to help you, don't use it.

In summary, this is a compromise that you have to decide based only in the memory behavior of your program.

reading external sql script in python

A very simple way to read an external script into an sqlite database in python is using executescript():

import sqlite3

conn = sqlite3.connect('csc455_HW3.db')

with open('ZooDatabase.sql', 'r') as sql_file:
    conn.executescript(sql_file.read())

conn.close()

NLTK and Stopwords Fail #lookuperror

If you want to manually install NLTK Corpus.

1) Go to http://www.nltk.org/nltk_data/ and download your desired NLTK Corpus file.

2) Now in a Python shell check the value of nltk.data.path

3) Choose one of the path that exists on your machine, and unzip the data files into the corpora sub directory inside.

4) Now you can import the data from nltk.corpos import stopwords

How can I open Windows Explorer to a certain directory from within a WPF app?

This should work:

Process.Start(@"<directory goes here>")

Or if you'd like a method to run programs/open files and/or folders:

private void StartProcess(string path)
{
    ProcessStartInfo StartInformation = new ProcessStartInfo();

    StartInformation.FileName = path;

    Process process = Process.Start(StartInformation);

    process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}

And then call the method and in the parenthesis put either the directory of the file and/or folder there or the name of the application. Hope this helped!

What is AndroidX?

This article Android Jetpack: What do the recent announcements mean for Android’s Support Library? explains it well

Today, many consider the Support Library an essential part of Android app development, to the point where it’s used by 99 percent of apps in the Google Play store. However, as the Support Library has grown, inconsistencies have crept in surrounding the library’s naming convention.

Initially, the name of each package indicated the minimum API level supported by that package, for example, support-v4. However, version 26.0.0 of the Support Library increased the minimum API to 14, so today many of the package names have nothing to do with the minimum supported API level. When support-v4 and the support-v7 packages both have a minimum API of 14, it’s easy to see why people get confused!

To clear up this confusion, Google is currently refactoring the Support Library into a new Android extension library (AndroidX) package structure. AndroidX will feature simplified package names, as well as Maven groupIds and artifactIds that better reflect each package’s content and its supported API levels.

With the current naming convention, it also isn’t clear which packages are bundled with the Android operating system, and which are packaged with your application’s APK (Android Package Kit). To clear up this confusion, all the unbundled libraries will be moved to AndroidX’s androidx.* namespace, while the android.* package hierarchy will be reserved for packages that ship with the Android operating system.

Catching errors in Angular HttpClient

You have some options, depending on your needs. If you want to handle errors on a per-request basis, add a catch to your request. If you want to add a global solution, use HttpInterceptor.

Open here the working demo plunker for the solutions below.

tl;dr

In the simplest case, you'll just need to add a .catch() or a .subscribe(), like:

import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch'; // don't forget this, or you'll get a runtime error
this.httpClient
      .get("data-url")
      .catch((err: HttpErrorResponse) => {
        // simple logging, but you can do a lot more, see below
        console.error('An error occurred:', err.error);
      });

// or
this.httpClient
      .get("data-url")
      .subscribe(
        data => console.log('success', data),
        error => console.log('oops', error)
      );

But there are more details to this, see below.


Method (local) solution: log error and return fallback response

If you need to handle errors in only one place, you can use catch and return a default value (or empty response) instead of failing completely. You also don't need the .map just to cast, you can use a generic function. Source: Angular.io - Getting Error Details.

So, a generic .get() method, would be like:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpErrorResponse } from "@angular/common/http";
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/of';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/empty';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/retry'; // don't forget the imports

@Injectable()
export class DataService {
    baseUrl = 'http://localhost';
    constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) { }

    // notice the <T>, making the method generic
    get<T>(url, params): Observable<T> {
      return this.httpClient
          .get<T>(this.baseUrl + url, {params})
          .retry(3) // optionally add the retry
          .catch((err: HttpErrorResponse) => {

            if (err.error instanceof Error) {
              // A client-side or network error occurred. Handle it accordingly.
              console.error('An error occurred:', err.error.message);
            } else {
              // The backend returned an unsuccessful response code.
              // The response body may contain clues as to what went wrong,
              console.error(`Backend returned code ${err.status}, body was: ${err.error}`);
            }

            // ...optionally return a default fallback value so app can continue (pick one)
            // which could be a default value
            // return Observable.of<any>({my: "default value..."});
            // or simply an empty observable
            return Observable.empty<T>();
          });
     }
}

Handling the error will allow you app to continue even when the service at the URL is in bad condition.

This per-request solution is good mostly when you want to return a specific default response to each method. But if you only care about error displaying (or have a global default response), the better solution is to use an interceptor, as described below.

Run the working demo plunker here.


Advanced usage: Intercepting all requests or responses

Once again, Angular.io guide shows:

A major feature of @angular/common/http is interception, the ability to declare interceptors which sit in between your application and the backend. When your application makes a request, interceptors transform it before sending it to the server, and the interceptors can transform the response on its way back before your application sees it. This is useful for everything from authentication to logging.

Which, of course, can be used to handle errors in a very simple way (demo plunker here):

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpEvent, HttpInterceptor, HttpHandler, HttpRequest, HttpResponse,
         HttpErrorResponse } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/of';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/empty';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/retry'; // don't forget the imports

@Injectable()
export class HttpErrorInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    return next.handle(request)
      .catch((err: HttpErrorResponse) => {

        if (err.error instanceof Error) {
          // A client-side or network error occurred. Handle it accordingly.
          console.error('An error occurred:', err.error.message);
        } else {
          // The backend returned an unsuccessful response code.
          // The response body may contain clues as to what went wrong,
          console.error(`Backend returned code ${err.status}, body was: ${err.error}`);
        }

        // ...optionally return a default fallback value so app can continue (pick one)
        // which could be a default value (which has to be a HttpResponse here)
        // return Observable.of(new HttpResponse({body: [{name: "Default value..."}]}));
        // or simply an empty observable
        return Observable.empty<HttpEvent<any>>();
      });
  }
}

Providing your interceptor: Simply declaring the HttpErrorInterceptor above doesn't cause your app to use it. You need to wire it up in your app module by providing it as an interceptor, as follows:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http';
import { HttpErrorInterceptor } from './path/http-error.interceptor';

@NgModule({
  ...
  providers: [{
    provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,
    useClass: HttpErrorInterceptor,
    multi: true,
  }],
  ...
})
export class AppModule {}

Note: If you have both an error interceptor and some local error handling, naturally, it is likely that no local error handling will ever be triggered, since the error will always be handled by the interceptor before it reaches the local error handling.

How to use Java property files?

If you put the properties file in the same package as class Foo, you can easily load it with

new Properties().load(Foo.class.getResourceAsStream("file.properties"))

Given that Properties extends Hashtable you can iterate over the values in the same manner as you would in a Hashtable.

If you use the *.properties extension you can get editor support, e.g. Eclipse has a properties file editor.

Return positions of a regex match() in Javascript?

What 'additional configuration' is necessary to reference a .NET 2.0 mixed mode assembly in a .NET 4.0 project?

I ran into this issue when we changed to Visual Studio 2015. None of the above answers worked for us. In the end we got it working by adding the following config file to ALL sgen.exe executables on the machine

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
    <configuration>
        <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
            <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
        </startup>    
</configuration>

Particularly in this location, even when we were targeting .NET 4.0:

How to update primary key

You shouldn't really do this but insert in a new record instead and update it that way.
But, if you really need to, you can do the following:

  • Disable enforcing FK constraints temporarily (e.g. ALTER TABLE foo WITH NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL)
  • Then update your PK
  • Then update your FKs to match the PK change
  • Finally enable back enforcing FK constraints

jQuery multiple events to trigger the same function

I was looking for a way to get the event type when jQuery listens for several events at once, and Google put me here.

So, for those interested, event.type is my answer :

$('#element').on('keyup keypress blur change', function(event) {
    alert(event.type); // keyup OR keypress OR blur OR change
});

            require_once('UserProfile.php');
            require_once('UserHistory.php');

            $this->profile = new UserProfile();
            $this->history = new UserHistory();

        }            

    }

?>

<?php

    class UserProfile 
    {
        // Some code here

                   'HTTP_X_FORWARDED',
                   'HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP',
                   'HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR',
                   'HTTP_FORWARDED',
                   'REMOTE_ADDR') as $key){
        if (array_key_exists($key, $_SERVER) === true){
            foreach (explode(',', $_SERVER[$key]) as $IPaddress){
                $IPaddress = trim($IPaddress); // Just to be safe

                if (filter_var($IPaddress,
                               FILTER_VALIDATE_IP,
                               FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE | FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE)
                    !== false) {

                    return $IPaddress;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Googlemaps API Key for Localhost

Where it says "Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (websites) (Optional)" you don't need to have any referrer listed. So click the X beside localhost on this page but continue to use your key.

It should then work after a few minutes.

Changes made can sometimes take a few minutes to take effect so wait a few minutes before testing again.

How do the likely/unlikely macros in the Linux kernel work and what is their benefit?

They are hint to the compiler to emit instructions that will cause branch prediction to favour the "likely" side of a jump instruction. This can be a big win, if the prediction is correct it means that the jump instruction is basically free and will take zero cycles. On the other hand if the prediction is wrong, then it means the processor pipeline needs to be flushed and it can cost several cycles. So long as the prediction is correct most of the time, this will tend to be good for performance.

Like all such performance optimisations you should only do it after extensive profiling to ensure the code really is in a bottleneck, and probably given the micro nature, that it is being run in a tight loop. Generally the Linux developers are pretty experienced so I would imagine they would have done that. They don't really care too much about portability as they only target gcc, and they have a very close idea of the assembly they want it to generate.

How to merge lists into a list of tuples?

I know this is an old question and was already answered, but for some reason, I still wanna post this alternative solution. I know it's easy to just find out which built-in function does the "magic" you need, but it doesn't hurt to know you can do it by yourself.

>>> list_1 = ['Ace', 'King']
>>> list_2 = ['Spades', 'Clubs', 'Diamonds']
>>> deck = []
>>> for i in range(max((len(list_1),len(list_2)))):
        while True:
            try:
                card = (list_1[i],list_2[i])
            except IndexError:
                if len(list_1)>len(list_2):
                    list_2.append('')
                    card = (list_1[i],list_2[i])
                elif len(list_1)<len(list_2):
                    list_1.append('')
                    card = (list_1[i], list_2[i])
                continue
            deck.append(card)
            break
>>>
>>> #and the result should be:
>>> print deck
>>> [('Ace', 'Spades'), ('King', 'Clubs'), ('', 'Diamonds')]

JavaFX How to set scene background image

In addition to @Elltz answer, we can use both fill and image for background:

someNode.setBackground(
            new Background(
                    Collections.singletonList(new BackgroundFill(
                            Color.WHITE, 
                            new CornerRadii(500), 
                            new Insets(10))),
                    Collections.singletonList(new BackgroundImage(
                            new Image("image/logo.png", 100, 100, false, true),
                            BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT,
                            BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT,

                            BackgroundSize.DEFAULT))));

Use

setBackground(
                new Background(
                        Collections.singletonList(new BackgroundFill(
                                Color.WHITE,
                                new CornerRadii(0),
                                new Insets(0))),
                        Collections.singletonList(new BackgroundImage(
                                new Image("file:clouds.jpg", 100, 100, false, true),
                                BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT,
                                BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT,

check android application is in foreground or not?

From Android 19, you can register an app life cycle callback in your Application class's onCreate() like this:

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new AppLifecycleCallback());
}

The AppLifecycleCallback looks like this:

class AppLifecycleCallback implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
    private int numStarted = 0;

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

    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
        if (numStarted == 0) {
           //app went to foreground
        }
        numStarted++;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {

    }

Getting an "ambiguous redirect" error

If your script's redirect contains a variable, and the script body defines that variable in a section enclosed by parenthesis, you will get the "ambiguous redirect" error. Here's a reproducible example:

  1. vim a.sh to create the script
  2. edit script to contain (logit="/home/ubuntu/test.log" && echo "a") >> ${logit}
  3. chmod +x a.sh to make it executable
  4. a.sh

If you do this, you will get "/home/ubuntu/a.sh: line 1: $logit: ambiguous redirect". This is because

"Placing a list of commands between parentheses causes a subshell to be created, and each of the commands in list to be executed in that subshell, without removing non-exported variables. Since the list is executed in a subshell, variable assignments do not remain in effect after the subshell completes."

From Using parenthesis to group and expand expressions

To correct this, you can modify the script in step 2 to define the variable outside the parenthesis: logit="/home/ubuntu/test.log" && (echo "a") >> $logit

Importing Pandas gives error AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'core' in iPython Notebook

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" (Roy of The IT crowd)

This happened to me today, which is why I ended up to this page. Seeing that error was weird since, recently, I have not made any changes in my Python environment. Interestingly, I observed that if I open a new notebook and import pandas I would not get the same error message. So, I did shutdown the troublesome notebook and started it again and voila it is working again!

Even though this solved the problem (at least for me), I cannot readily come up with an explanation as to why it happened in the first place!

How to grep with a list of words

You need to use the option -f:

$ grep -f A B

The option -F does a fixed string search where as -f is for specifying a file of patterns. You may want both if the file only contains fixed strings and not regexps.

$ grep -Ff A B

You may also want the -w option for matching whole words only:

$ grep -wFf A B

Read man grep for a description of all the possible arguments and what they do.

Check if current directory is a Git repository

if ! [[ $(pwd) = *.git/* || $(pwd) = *.git ]]; then 
  if type -P git >/dev/null; then
    ! git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 || {
     printf '\n%s\n\n' "GIT repository detected." && git status
    }
  fi
fi

Thank you ivan_pozdeev, Now I have a test if inside the .git directory the code will not run so no errors printed out or false exit status.

The "! [[ $(pwd) = .git/ || $(pwd) = *.git ]]" tests if you're not inside a .git repo then it will run the git command. The builtin type command is use to check if you have git installed or it is within your PATH. see help type

React onClick function fires on render

JSX is used with ReactJS as it is very similar to HTML and it gives programmers feel of using HTML whereas it ultimately transpiles to a javascript file.

Writing a for-loop and specifying function as {this.props.removeTaskFunction(todo)} will execute the functions whenever the loop is triggered .

To stop this behaviour we need to return the function to onClick.

The fat arrow function has a hidden return statement along with the bind property. Thus it returns the function to OnClick as Javascript can return functions too !!!!!

Use -

onClick={() => { this.props.removeTaskFunction(todo) }}

which means-

var onClick = function() {
  return this.props.removeTaskFunction(todo);
}.bind(this);

How to reload apache configuration for a site without restarting apache?

Late answer here, but if you search /etc/init.d/apache2 for 'reload', you'll find something like this:

do_reload() {
        if apache_conftest; then
                if ! pidofproc -p $PIDFILE "$DAEMON" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
                        APACHE2_INIT_MESSAGE="Apache2 is not running"
                        return 2
                fi
                $APACHE2CTL graceful > /dev/null 2>&1
                return $?
        else
                APACHE2_INIT_MESSAGE="The apache2$DIR_SUFFIX configtest failed. Not doing anything."
                return 2
        fi
}

Basically, what the answers that suggest using init.d, systemctl, etc are invoking is a thin wrapper that says:

  • check the apache config
  • if it's good, run apachectl graceful (swallowing the output, and forwarding the exit code)

This suggests that @Aruman's answer is also correct, provided you are confident there are no errors in your configuration or have already run apachctl configtest manually.

The apache documentation also supplies the same command for a graceful restart (apachectl -k graceful), and some more color on the behavior thereof.

LaTeX "\indent" creating paragraph indentation / tabbing package requirement?

The first line of a paragraph is indented by default, thus whether or not you have \indent there won't make a difference. \indent and \noindent can be used to override default behavior. You can see this by replacing your line with the following:

Now we are engaged in a great civil war.\\
\indent this is indented\\
this isn't indented


\noindent override default indentation (not indented)\\

Maintaining Session through Angular.js

You would use a service for that in Angular. A service is a function you register with Angular, and that functions job is to return an object which will live until the browser is closed/refreshed. So it's a good place to store state in, and to synchronize that state with the server asynchronously as that state changes.

Get the position of a spinner in Android

The way to get the selection of the spinner is:

  spinner1.getSelectedItemPosition();

Documentation reference: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#getSelectedItemPosition()

However, in your code, the one place you are referencing it is within your setOnItemSelectedListener(). It is not necessary to poll the spinner, because the onItemSelected method gets passed the position as the "position" variable.

So you could change that line to:

TestProjectActivity.this.number = position + 1;

If that does not fix the problem, please post the error message generated when your app crashes.

Using an Alias in a WHERE clause

This is not possible directly, because chronologically, WHERE happens before SELECT, which always is the last step in the execution chain.

You can do a sub-select and filter on it:

SELECT * FROM
(
  SELECT A.identifier
    , A.name
    , TO_NUMBER(DECODE( A.month_no
      , 1, 200803 
      , 2, 200804 
      , 3, 200805 
      , 4, 200806 
      , 5, 200807 
      , 6, 200808 
      , 7, 200809 
      , 8, 200810 
      , 9, 200811 
      , 10, 200812 
      , 11, 200701 
      , 12, 200702
      , NULL)) as MONTH_NO
    , TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(B.last_update_date, 'YYYYMM')) as UPD_DATE
  FROM table_a A
    , table_b B
  WHERE A.identifier = B.identifier
) AS inner_table
WHERE 
  MONTH_NO > UPD_DATE

Interesting bit of info moved up from the comments:

There should be no performance hit. Oracle does not need to materialize inner queries before applying outer conditions -- Oracle will consider transforming this query internally and push the predicate down into the inner query and will do so if it is cost effective. – Justin Cave

Exception : javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

This exception will come in case your server is based on JDK 7 and your client is on JDK 6 and using SSL certificates. In JDK 7 sslv2hello message handshaking is disabled by default while in JDK 6 sslv2hello message handshaking is enabled. For this reason when your client trying to connect server then a sslv2hello message will be sent towards server and due to sslv2hello message disable you will get this exception. To solve this either you have to move your client to JDK 7 or you have to use 6u91 version of JDK. But to get this version of JDK you have to get the MOS (My Oracle Support) Enterprise support. This patch is not public.

How to set image to UIImage

Like vikingosgundo said, but keep in mind that if you use [UIImage imageNamed:image] then the image is cached and eats away memory. So unless you plan on using the same image in many places, you should load the image, with imageWithContentsOfFile: and imageWithData:

This will save you significant memory and speeds up your app.

What is the difference between Tomcat, JBoss and Glassfish?

Tomcat is just a servlet container, i.e. it implements only the servlets and JSP specification. Glassfish and JBoss are full Java EE servers (including stuff like EJB, JMS, ...), with Glassfish being the reference implementation of the latest Java EE 6 stack, but JBoss in 2010 was not fully supporting it yet.

How do I install Java on Mac OSX allowing version switching?

IMHO, There is no need to install all the additional applications/packages.

Check available versions using the command:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (8):
    11, x86_64: "Java SE 11-ea" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
    10.0.2, x86_64: "Java SE 10.0.2"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
    9.0.1, x86_64:  "Java SE 9.0.1" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_181-zulu-8.31.0.1, x86_64:    "Zulu 8"    /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_151, x86_64:  "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.7.0_80, x86_64:   "Java SE 7" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, x86_64:   "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Now if you want to pick Azul JDK 8 in the above list, and NOT Oracle's Java SE 8, invoke the command as below:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_181
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home

To pick Oracle's Java SE 8 you would invoke the command:

> /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_151
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home

As you can see the version number provided shall be the unique set of strings: 1.8.0_181 vs 1.8.0_151

Allowing Java to use an untrusted certificate for SSL/HTTPS connection

Here is some relevant code:

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
    new X509TrustManager() {
        public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
            return null;
        }
        public void checkClientTrusted(
            java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
        }
        public void checkServerTrusted(
            java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
        }
    }
};

// Install the all-trusting trust manager
try {
    SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
    sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
    HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
} catch (Exception e) {
}

// Now you can access an https URL without having the certificate in the truststore
try {
    URL url = new URL("https://hostname/index.html");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
}

This will completely disable SSL checking—just don't learn exception handling from such code!

To do what you want, you would have to implement a check in your TrustManager that prompts the user.

Error launching Eclipse 4.4 "Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product."

Your -vm argument seems ok BUT it's position is wrong. According to this Eclipse Wiki entry :

The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM.

So your -vm argument is not taken into account and it fails over to your default java installation, which is probably 1.6.0_65.

How to pass a single object[] to a params object[]

The params parameter modifier gives callers a shortcut syntax for passing multiple arguments to a method. There are two ways to call a method with a params parameter:

1) Calling with an array of the parameter type, in which case the params keyword has no effect and the array is passed directly to the method:

object[] array = new[] { "1", "2" };

// Foo receives the 'array' argument directly.
Foo( array );

2) Or, calling with an extended list of arguments, in which case the compiler will automatically wrap the list of arguments in a temporary array and pass that to the method:

// Foo receives a temporary array containing the list of arguments.
Foo( "1", "2" );

// This is equivalent to:
object[] temp = new[] { "1", "2" );
Foo( temp );


In order to pass in an object array to a method with a "params object[]" parameter, you can either:

1) Create a wrapper array manually and pass that directly to the method, as mentioned by lassevk:

Foo( new object[] { array } );  // Equivalent to calling convention 1.

2) Or, cast the argument to object, as mentioned by Adam, in which case the compiler will create the wrapper array for you:

Foo( (object)array );  // Equivalent to calling convention 2.


However, if the goal of the method is to process multiple object arrays, it may be easier to declare it with an explicit "params object[][]" parameter. This would allow you to pass multiple arrays as arguments:

void Foo( params object[][] arrays ) {
  foreach( object[] array in arrays ) {
    // process array
  }
}

...
Foo( new[] { "1", "2" }, new[] { "3", "4" } );

// Equivalent to:
object[][] arrays = new[] {
  new[] { "1", "2" },
  new[] { "3", "4" }
};
Foo( arrays );

Edit: Raymond Chen describes this behavior and how it relates to the C# specification in a new post.

Setting unique Constraint with fluent API?

Here is an extension method for setting unique indexes more fluently:

public static class MappingExtensions
{
    public static PrimitivePropertyConfiguration IsUnique(this PrimitivePropertyConfiguration configuration)
    {
        return configuration.HasColumnAnnotation("Index", new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute { IsUnique = true }));
    }
}

Usage:

modelBuilder 
    .Entity<Person>() 
    .Property(t => t.Name)
    .IsUnique();

Will generate migration such as:

public partial class Add_unique_index : DbMigration
{
    public override void Up()
    {
        CreateIndex("dbo.Person", "Name", unique: true);
    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        DropIndex("dbo.Person", new[] { "Name" });
    }
}

How to call Oracle MD5 hash function?

To calculate MD5 hash of CLOB content field with my desired encoding without implicitly recoding content to AL32UTF8, I've used this code:

  Result BLOB;
  o1 integer;
  o2 integer;
  c integer;
  w integer;
begin
  o1 := 1;
  o2 := 1;
  c := 0;
  w := 0;
  DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary(Result, true);
  DBMS_LOB.ConvertToBlob(Result, AClob, length(AClob), o1, o2, 0, c, w);
  return(Result);
end clob2blob;
/

update my_table t set t.hash = (rawtohex(DBMS_CRYPTO.Hash(clob2blob(t.content),2)));

Converting a double to an int in Javascript without rounding

A trick to truncate that avoids a function call entirely is

var number = 2.9
var truncated = number - number % 1;
console.log(truncated); // 2 

To round a floating-point number to the nearest integer, use the addition/subtraction trick. This works for numbers with absolute value < 2 ^ 51.

var number = 2.9
var rounded = number + 6755399441055744.0 - 6755399441055744.0;  // (2^52 + 2^51)
console.log(rounded); // 3 

Note:

Halfway values are rounded to the nearest even using "round half to even" as the tie-breaking rule. Thus, for example, +23.5 becomes +24, as does +24.5. This variant of the round-to-nearest mode is also called bankers' rounding.

The magic number 6755399441055744.0 is explained in the stackoverflow post "A fast method to round a double to a 32-bit int explained".

_x000D_
_x000D_
// Round to whole integers using arithmetic operators
let trunc = (v) => v - v % 1;
let ceil  = (v) => trunc(v % 1 > 0 ? v + 1 : v);
let floor = (v) => trunc(v % 1 < 0 ? v - 1 : v);
let round = (v) => trunc(v < 0 ? v - 0.5 : v + 0.5);

let roundHalfEven = (v) => v + 6755399441055744.0 - 6755399441055744.0; // (2^52 + 2^51)

console.log("number  floor   ceil  round  trunc");
var array = [1.5, 1.4, 1.0, -1.0, -1.4, -1.5];
array.forEach(x => {
    let f = x => (x).toString().padStart(6," ");
    console.log(`${f(x)} ${f(floor(x))} ${f(ceil(x))} ${f(round(x))} ${f(trunc(x))}`);  
});

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

On Linux, you could use python-magic (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-magic/0.1) which uses libmagic to identify file formats.

AFAIK, libmagic looks into the file and tries to tell you more about it than just the format, like bitmap dimensions, format version etc.. So you might see this as a superficial test for "validity".

For other definitions of "valid" you might have to write your own tests.

How can I process each letter of text using Javascript?

You can now use in keyword.

_x000D_
_x000D_
    var s = 'Alien';_x000D_
    for (var c in s) alert(s[c]);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Generating all permutations of a given string

public class Permutation 
{ 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
    String str = "ABC"; 
    int n = str.length(); 
    Permutation permutation = new Permutation(); 
    permutation.permute(str, 0, n-1); 
} 

/** 
* permutation function 
* @param str string to calculate permutation for 
* @param l starting index 
* @param r end index 
*/
private void permute(String str, int l, int r) 
{ 
    if (l == r) 
        System.out.println(str); 
    else
    { 
        for (int i = l; i <= r; i++) 
        { 
            str = swap(str,l,i); 
            permute(str, l+1, r); 
            str = swap(str,l,i); 
        } 
    } 
} 

/** 
* Swap Characters at position 
* @param a string value 
* @param i position 1 
* @param j position 2 
* @return swapped string 
*/
public String swap(String a, int i, int j) 
{ 
    char temp; 
    char[] charArray = a.toCharArray(); 
    temp = charArray[i] ; 
    charArray[i] = charArray[j]; 
    charArray[j] = temp; 
    return String.valueOf(charArray); 
} 

} 

Apache won't follow symlinks (403 Forbidden)

There is another way that symbolic links may fail you, as I discovered in my situation. If you have an SELinux system as the server and the symbolic links point to an NFS-mounted folder (other file systems may yield similar symptoms), httpd may see the wrong contexts and refuse to serve the contents of the target folders.

In my case the SELinux context of /var/www/html (which you can obtain with ls -Z) is unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0. The symbolic links in /var/www/html will have the same context, but their target's context, being an NFS-mounted folder, are system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0.

The solution is to add fscontext=unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 to the mount options (e.g. # mount -t nfs -o v3,fscontext=unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 <IP address>:/<server path> /<mount point>). rootcontext is irrelevant and defcontext is rejected by NFS. I did not try context by itself.
