Python: import module from another directory at the same level in project hierarchy

If I move CreateUser.py to the main user_management directory, I can easily use: import Modules.LDAPManager to import LDAPManager.py --- this works.

Please, don't. In this way the LDAPManager module used by CreateUser will not be the same as the one imported via other imports. This can create problems when you have some global state in the module or during pickling/unpickling. Avoid imports that work only because the module happens to be in the same directory.

When you have a package structure you should either:

  • Use relative imports, i.e if the CreateUser.py is in Scripts/:

     from ..Modules import LDAPManager
    

    Note that this was (note the past tense) discouraged by PEP 8 only because old versions of python didn't support them very well, but this problem was solved years ago. The current version of PEP 8 does suggest them as an acceptable alternative to absolute imports. I actually like them inside packages.

  • Use absolute imports using the whole package name(CreateUser.py in Scripts/):

     from user_management.Modules import LDAPManager
    

In order for the second one to work the package user_management should be installed inside the PYTHONPATH. During development you can configure the IDE so that this happens, without having to manually add calls to sys.path.append anywhere.

Also I find it odd that Scripts/ is a subpackage. Because in a real installation the user_management module would be installed under the site-packages found in the lib/ directory (whichever directory is used to install libraries in your OS), while the scripts should be installed under a bin/ directory (whichever contains executables for your OS).

In fact I believe Script/ shouldn't even be under user_management. It should be at the same level of user_management. In this way you do not have to use -m, but you simply have to make sure the package can be found (this again is a matter of configuring the IDE, installing the package correctly or using PYTHONPATH=. python Scripts/CreateUser.py to launch the scripts with the correct path).


In summary, the hierarchy I would use is:

user_management  (package)
        |
        |------- __init__.py
        |
        |------- Modules/
        |           |
        |           |----- __init__.py
        |           |----- LDAPManager.py
        |           |----- PasswordManager.py
        |

 Scripts/  (*not* a package)
        |  
        |----- CreateUser.py
        |----- FindUser.py

Then the code of CreateUser.py and FindUser.py should use absolute imports to import the modules:

from user_management.Modules import LDAPManager

During installation you make sure that user_management ends up somewhere in the PYTHONPATH, and the scripts inside the directory for executables so that they are able to find the modules. During development you either rely on IDE configuration, or you launch CreateUser.py adding the Scripts/ parent directory to the PYTHONPATH (I mean the directory that contains both user_management and Scripts):

PYTHONPATH=/the/parent/directory python Scripts/CreateUser.py

Or you can modify the PYTHONPATH globally so that you don't have to specify this each time. On unix OSes (linux, Mac OS X etc.) you can modify one of the shell scripts to define the PYTHONPATH external variable, on Windows you have to change the environmental variables settings.


Addendum I believe, if you are using python2, it's better to make sure to avoid implicit relative imports by putting:

from __future__ import absolute_import

at the top of your modules. In this way import X always means to import the toplevel module X and will never try to import the X.py file that's in the same directory (if that directory isn't in the PYTHONPATH). In this way the only way to do a relative import is to use the explicit syntax (the from . import X), which is better (explicit is better than implicit).

This will make sure you never happen to use the "bogus" implicit relative imports, since these would raise an ImportError clearly signalling that something is wrong. Otherwise you could use a module that's not what you think it is.

How to Copy Text to Clip Board in Android?

With Jetpack Compose, it's really easy:

String MinLength and MaxLength validation don't work (asp.net mvc)

MaxLength is used for the Entity Framework to decide how large to make a string value field when it creates the database.

From MSDN:

Specifies the maximum length of array or string data allowed in a property.

StringLength is a data annotation that will be used for validation of user input.

From MSDN:

Specifies the minimum and maximum length of characters that are allowed in a data field.

Non Customized

Use [String Length]

[RegularExpression(@"^.{3,}$", ErrorMessage = "Minimum 3 characters required")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Required")]
[StringLength(30, MinimumLength = 3, ErrorMessage = "Maximum 30 characters")]

30 is the Max Length
Minimum length = 3

Customized StringLengthAttribute Class

public class MyStringLengthAttribute : StringLengthAttribute
{
    public MyStringLengthAttribute(int maximumLength)
        : base(maximumLength)
    {
    }

    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        string val = Convert.ToString(value);
        if (val.Length < base.MinimumLength)
            base.ErrorMessage = "Minimum length should be 3";
        if (val.Length > base.MaximumLength)
            base.ErrorMessage = "Maximum length should be 6";
        return base.IsValid(value);
    }
}

public class MyViewModel
{
    [MyStringLength(6, MinimumLength = 3)]
    public String MyProperty { get; set; }
}

Checking password match while typing

Probably invalid syntax in your onChange event, I avoid using like this (within the html) as I think it is messy and it is hard enough keeping JavaScript tidy at the best of times.

I would rather register the event on the document ready event in javascript. You will also definitely want to use keyup event too if you want the validation as the user is typing:

$(document).ready(function () {
   $("#txtConfirmPassword").keyup(checkPasswordMatch);
});

Here is a working example


Personally I would prefer to do the check when either password field changes, that way if they re-type the original password then you still get the same validation check:

$(document).ready(function () {
   $("#txtNewPassword, #txtConfirmPassword").keyup(checkPasswordMatch);
});

Here is a working example

lexers vs parsers

There are a number of reasons why the analysis portion of a compiler is normally separated into lexical analysis and parsing ( syntax analysis) phases.

  1. Simplicity of design is the most important consideration. The separation of lexical and syntactic analysis often allows us to simplify at least one of these tasks. For example, a parser that had to deal with comments and white space as syntactic units would be. Considerably more complex than one that can assume comments and white space have already been removed by the lexical analyzer. If we are designing a new language, separating lexical and syntactic concerns can lead to a cleaner overall language design.
  2. Compiler efficiency is improved. A separate lexical analyzer allows us to apply specialized techniques that serve only the lexical task, not the job of parsing. In addition, specialized buffering techniques for reading input characters can speed up the compiler significantly.
  3. Compiler portability is enhanced. Input-device-specific peculiarities can be restricted to the lexical analyzer.

How can I center <ul> <li> into div

Could either be

div ul
{
 width: [INSERT FIXED WIDTH]
 margin: 0 auto;
}

or

div li
{
text-align: center;
}

depends on how it should look like (or combining those)

Alert after page load

If you can use jquery then you can put the alert inside the $(document).ready() function. it would look something like this:

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    alert('<%: TempData["Resultat"]%>');
  });
</script>

To include jQuery, include the following in the <head> tag of your code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.js"></script>

see if two files have the same content in python

Yes, I think hashing the file would be the best way if you have to compare several files and store hashes for later comparison. As hash can clash, a byte-by-byte comparison may be done depending on the use case.

Generally byte-by-byte comparison would be sufficient and efficient, which filecmp module already does + other things too.

See http://docs.python.org/library/filecmp.html e.g.

>>> import filecmp
>>> filecmp.cmp('file1.txt', 'file1.txt')
True
>>> filecmp.cmp('file1.txt', 'file2.txt')
False

Speed consideration: Usually if only two files have to be compared, hashing them and comparing them would be slower instead of simple byte-by-byte comparison if done efficiently. e.g. code below tries to time hash vs byte-by-byte

Disclaimer: this is not the best way of timing or comparing two algo. and there is need for improvements but it does give rough idea. If you think it should be improved do tell me I will change it.

import random
import string
import hashlib
import time

def getRandText(N):
    return  "".join([random.choice(string.printable) for i in xrange(N)])

N=1000000
randText1 = getRandText(N)
randText2 = getRandText(N)

def cmpHash(text1, text2):
    hash1 = hashlib.md5()
    hash1.update(text1)
    hash1 = hash1.hexdigest()

    hash2 = hashlib.md5()
    hash2.update(text2)
    hash2 = hash2.hexdigest()

    return  hash1 == hash2

def cmpByteByByte(text1, text2):
    return text1 == text2

for cmpFunc in (cmpHash, cmpByteByByte):
    st = time.time()
    for i in range(10):
        cmpFunc(randText1, randText2)
    print cmpFunc.func_name,time.time()-st

and the output is

cmpHash 0.234999895096
cmpByteByByte 0.0

Last executed queries for a specific database

This works for me to find queries on any database in the instance. I'm sysadmin on the instance (check your privileges):

SELECT deqs.last_execution_time AS [Time], dest.text AS [Query], dest.*
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS deqs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(deqs.sql_handle) AS dest
WHERE dest.dbid = DB_ID('msdb')
ORDER BY deqs.last_execution_time DESC

Create Directory When Writing To File In Node.js

Since I cannot comment yet, I'm posting an enhanced answer based on @tiago-peres-frança fantastic solution (thanks!). His code does not make directory in a case where only the last directory is missing in the path, e.g. the input is "C:/test/abc" and "C:/test" already exists. Here is a snippet that works:

function mkdirp(filepath) {
    var dirname = path.dirname(filepath);

    if (!fs.existsSync(dirname)) {
        mkdirp(dirname);
    }

    fs.mkdirSync(filepath);

How to trigger an event after using event.preventDefault()

If this example can help, adds a "custom confirm popin" on some links (I keep the code of "$.ui.Modal.confirm", it's just an exemple for the callback that executes the original action) :

//Register "custom confirm popin" on click on specific links
$(document).on(
    "click", 
    "A.confirm", 
    function(event){
        //prevent default click action
        event.preventDefault();
        //show "custom confirm popin"
        $.ui.Modal.confirm(
            //popin text
            "Do you confirm ?", 
            //action on click 'ok'
            function() {
                //Unregister handler (prevent loop)
                $(document).off("click", "A.confirm");
                //Do default click action
                $(event.target)[0].click();
            }
        );

... else:
...   print "found"
...
not found

find()

>>> if "xxxxABCDyyyy".find("ABCD") != -1:
...   print "found"
...
found

re

>>> import re
>>> if re.search("ABCD" , "xxxxABCDyyyy"):
...  print "found"
...

#pragma once vs include guards?

I don't think it will make a significant difference in compile time but #pragma once is very well supported across compilers but not actually part of the standard. The preprocessor may be a little faster with it as it is more simple to understand your exact intent.

#pragma once is less prone to making mistakes and it is less code to type.

To speed up compile time more just forward declare instead of including in .h files when you can.

I prefer to use #pragma once.

See this wikipedia article about the possibility of using both.

How do we check if a pointer is NULL pointer?

The actual representation of a null pointer is irrelevant here. An integer literal with value zero (including 0 and any valid definition of NULL) can be converted to any pointer type, giving a null pointer, whatever the actual representation. So p != NULL, p != 0 and p are all valid tests for a non-null pointer.

You might run into problems with non-zero representations of the null pointer if you wrote something twisted like p != reinterpret_cast<void*>(0), so don't do that.

Can you require two form fields to match with HTML5?

A simple solution with minimal javascript is to use the html attribute pattern (supported by most modern browsers). This works by setting the pattern of the second field to the value of the first field.

Unfortunately, you also need to escape the regex, for which no standard function exists.

<form>
    <input type="text" oninput="form.confirm.pattern = escapeRegExp(this.value)">
    <input name="confirm" pattern="" title="Fields must match" required>
</form>
<script>
    function escapeRegExp(str) {
      return str.replace(/[\-\[\]\/\{\}\(\)\*\+\?\.\\\^\$\|]/g, "\\$&");
    }
</script>

Automatically start a Windows Service on install

Programmatic options for controlling services:

  • Native code can used, "Starting a Service". Maximum control with minimum dependencies but the most work.
  • WMI: Win32_Service has a StartService method. This is good for cases where you need to be able to perform other processing (e.g. to select which service).
  • PowerShell: execute Start-Service via RunspaceInvoke or by creating your own Runspace and using its CreatePipeline method to execute. This is good for cases where you need to be able to perform other processing (e.g. to select which service) with a much easier coding model than WMI, but depends on PSH being installed.
  • A .NET application can use ServiceController

Is there a way to select sibling nodes?

The following function will return an array containing all the siblings of the given element.

function getSiblings(elem) {

Just pass the selected element into the getSiblings() function as it's only parameter.

Escaping double quotes in JavaScript onClick event handler

While I agree with CMS about doing this in an unobtrusive manner (via a lib like jquery or dojo), here's what also work:

<script type="text/javascript">
function parse(a, b, c) {
    alert(c);
  }

</script>

<a href="#x" onclick="parse('#', false, 'xyc&quot;foo');return false;">Test</a>

The reason it barfs is not because of JavaScript, it's because of the HTML parser. It has no concept of escaped quotes to it trundles along looking for the end quote and finds it and returns that as the onclick function. This is invalid javascript though so you don't find about the error until JavaScript tries to execute the function..

Laravel Eloquent: Ordering results of all()

One interesting thing is multiple order by:

according to laravel docs:

DB::table('users')
   ->orderBy('priority', 'desc')
   ->orderBy('email', 'asc')
   ->get();

this means laravel will sort result based on priority attribute. when it's done, it will order result with same priority based on email internally.

What is Gradle in Android Studio?

Gradle is a build tool custom and used for building APK or known as application package kit.

Get only specific attributes with from Laravel Collection

You can do this using a combination of existing Collection methods. It may be a little hard to follow at first, but it should be easy enough to break down.

// get your main collection with all the attributes...
$users = Users::get();

// build your second collection with a subset of attributes. this new
// collection will be a collection of plain arrays, not Users models.
$subset = $users->map(function ($user) {
    return collect($user->toArray())
        ->only(['id', 'name', 'email'])
        ->all();
});

Explanation

First, the map() method basically just iterates through the Collection, and passes each item in the Collection to the passed in callback. The value returned from each call of the callback builds the new Collection generated by the map() method.

collect($user->toArray()) is just building a new, temporary Collection out of the Users attributes.

->only(['id', 'name', 'email']) reduces the temporary Collection down to only those attributes specified.

->all() turns the temporary Collection back into a plain array.

Put it all together and you get "For each user in the users collection, return an array of just the id, name, and email attributes."


Laravel 5.5 update

Laravel 5.5 added an only method on the Model, which basically does the same thing as the collect($user->toArray())->only([...])->all(), so this can be slightly simplified in 5.5+ to:

// get your main collection with all the attributes...
$users = Users::get();

// build your second collection with a subset of attributes. this new
// collection will be a collection of plain arrays, not Users models.
$subset = $users->map(function ($user) {
    return $user->only(['id', 'name', 'email']);
});

If you combine this with the "higher order messaging" for collections introduced in Laravel 5.4, it can be simplified even further:

// get your main collection with all the attributes...
$users = Users::get();

// build your second collection with a subset of attributes. this new
// collection will be a collection of plain arrays, not Users models.
$subset = $users->map->only(['id', 'name', 'email']);

Fast Bitmap Blur For Android SDK

For future Googlers, here is an algorithm that I ported from Quasimondo. It's kind of a mix between a box blur and a gaussian blur, it's very pretty and quite fast too.

Update for people encountering the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException problem : @anthonycr in the comments provides this information :

I found that by replacing Math.abs with StrictMath.abs or some other abs implementation, the crash does not occur.

How to require a controller in an angularjs directive

There is a good stackoverflow answer here by Mark Rajcok:

AngularJS directive controllers requiring parent directive controllers?

with a link to this very clear jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mrajcok/StXFK/

<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    <div screen>
        <div component>
            <div widget>
                <button ng-click="widgetIt()">Woo Hoo</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

JavaScript

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[])

.directive('screen', function() {
    return {
        scope: true,
        controller: function() {
            this.doSomethingScreeny = function() {
                alert("screeny!");
            }
        }
    }
})

.directive('component', function() {
    return {
        scope: true,
        require: '^screen',
        controller: function($scope) {
            this.componentFunction = function() {
                $scope.screenCtrl.doSomethingScreeny();
            }
        },
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, screenCtrl) {
            scope.screenCtrl = screenCtrl
        }

                componentCtrl.componentFunction();
            };
        }

How to Execute stored procedure from SQL Plus?

You forgot to put z as an bind variable.

The following EXECUTE command runs a PL/SQL statement that references a stored procedure:

SQL> EXECUTE -
> :Z := EMP_SALE.HIRE('JACK','MANAGER','JONES',2990,'SALES')

Note that the value returned by the stored procedure is being return into :Z

Do sessions really violate RESTfulness?

Actually, RESTfulness only applies to RESOURCES, as indicated by a Universal Resource Identifier. So to even talk about things like headers, cookies, etc. in regards to REST is not really appropriate. REST can work over any protocol, even though it happens to be routinely done over HTTP.

The main determiner is this: if you send a REST call, which is a URI, then once the call makes it successfully to the server, does that URI return the same content, assuming no transitions have been performed (PUT, POST, DELETE)? This test would exclude errors or authentication requests being returned, because in that case, the request has not yet made it to the server, meaning the servlet or application that will return the document corresponding to the given URI.

Likewise, in the case of a POST or PUT, can you send a given URI/payload, and regardless of how many times you send the message, it will always update the same data, so that subsequent GETs will return a consistent result?

REST is about the application data, not about the low-level information required to get that data transferred about.

In the following blog post, Roy Fielding gave a nice summary of the whole REST idea:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/rest-discuss/conversations/topics/5841

"A RESTful system progresses from one steady-state to the next, and each such steady-state is both a potential start-state and a potential end-state. I.e., a RESTful system is an unknown number of components obeying a simple set of rules such that they are always either at REST or transitioning from one RESTful state to another RESTful state. Each state can be completely understood by the representation(s) it contains and the set of transitions that it provides, with the transitions limited to a uniform set of actions to be understandable. The system may be a complex state diagram, but each user agent is only able to see one state at a time (the current steady-state) and thus each state is simple and can be analyzed independently. A user, OTOH, is able to create their own transitions at any time (e.g., enter a URL, select a bookmark, open an editor, etc.)."


Going to the issue of authentication, whether it is accomplished through cookies or headers, as long as the information isn't part of the URI and POST payload, it really has nothing to do with REST at all. So, in regards to being stateless, we are talking about the application data only.

For example, as the user enters data into a GUI screen, the client is keeping track of what fields have been entered, which have not, any required fields that are missing etc. This is all CLIENT CONTEXT, and should not be sent or tracked by the server. What does get sent to the server is the complete set of fields that need to be modified in the IDENTIFIED resource (by the URI), such that a transition occurs in that resource from one RESTful state to another.

So, the client keeps track of what the user is doing, and only sends logically complete state transitions to the server.

Explaining Apache ZooKeeper

Zookeeper is one of the best open source server and service that helps to reliably coordinates distributed processes. Zookeeper is a CP system (Refer CAP Theorem) that provides Consistency and Partition tolerance. Replication of Zookeeper state across all the nodes makes it an eventually consistent distributed service.

Moreover, any newly elected leader will update its followers with missing proposals or with a snapshot of the state, if the followers have many proposals missing.

Zookeeper also provides an API that is very easy to use. This blog post, Zookeeper Java API examples, has some examples if you are looking for examples.

So where do we use this? If your distributed service needs a centralized, reliable and consistent configuration management, locks, queues etc, you will find Zookeeper a reliable choice.

javascript onclick increment number

Since you gave me nothing to start on, here is a simple example.

jsFiddle

Example implementation:

function incrementValue()
{
    var value = parseInt(document.getElementById('number').value, 10);
    value = isNaN(value) ? 0 : value;
    value++;
    document.getElementById('number').value = value;
}

Example Html

<form>
   <input type="text" id="number" value="0"/>
   <input type="button" onclick="incrementValue()" value="Increment Value" />
</form>

Is there a way to force npm to generate package-lock.json?

As several answer explained the you should run:

npm i

BUT if it does not solve...

Check the version of your npm executable. (For me it was 3.x.x which doesn't uses the package-lock.json (at all))

npm -v

It should be at least 5.x.x (which introduced the package-lock.json file.)

To update npm on Linux, follow these instructions.

For more details about package files, please read this medium story.

What does {0} mean when found in a string in C#?

In addition to the value you wish to print, the {0} {1}, etc., you can specify a format. For example, {0,4} will be a value that is padded to four spaces.

There are a number of built-in format specifiers, and in addition, you can make your own. For a decent tutorial/list see String Formatting in C#. Also, there is a FAQ here.

Storing database records into array

You shouldn't search through that array, but use database capabilities for this
Suppose you're passing username through GET form:

if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
  $search = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['search']);
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$search'";
  $res = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error().$sql);
  $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
  if ($row){
    print_r($row); //do whatever you want with found info
  }
}

How correctly produce JSON by RESTful web service?

You could use a package like org.json http://www.json.org/java/

Because you will need to use JSONObjects more often.

There you can easily create JSONObjects and put some values in it:

 JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
 JSONArray array=new JSONArray();
    array.put("1");
    array.put("2");
    json.put("friends", array);

    System.out.println(json.toString(2));


    {"friends": [
      "1",
      "2"
    ]}

edit This has the advantage that you can build your responses in different layers and return them as an object

How to get a value from a Pandas DataFrame and not the index and object type

import pandas as pd

dataset = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
values = list(x for x in dataset["column name"])

>>> values[0]

edit:

actually, you can just index the dataset like any old array.

import pandas as pd

dataset = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
first_value = dataset["column name"][0]

>>> print(first_value)
'item_0'

ModelState.AddModelError - How can I add an error that isn't for a property?

You can add the model error on any property of your model, I suggest if there is nothing related to create a new property.

As an exemple we check if the email is already in use in DB and add the error to the Email property in the action so when I return the view, they know that there's an error and how to show it up by using

<%: Html.ValidationSummary(true)%>
<%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email) %>

and

ModelState.AddModelError("Email", Resources.EmailInUse);

How to get last key in an array?

Although end() seems to be the easiest, it's not the fastest. The faster, and much stronger alternative is array_slice():

$lastKey = key(array_slice($array, -1, 1, true));

As the tests say, on an array with 500000 elements, it is almost 7x faster!

How to create a DateTime equal to 15 minutes ago?

If you are using time.time() and wants timestamp as output

Simply use

CONSTANT_SECONDS = 900 # time  in seconds (900 seconds = 15 min)

current_time = int(time.time())
time_before_15_min = current_time - CONSTANT_SECONDS

You can change 900 seconds as per your required time.

Push JSON Objects to array in localStorage

As of now, you can only store string values in localStorage. You'll need to serialize the array object and then store it in localStorage.

For example:

localStorage.setItem('session', a.join('|'));

or

localStorage.setItem('session', JSON.stringify(a));

How to detect the physical connected state of a network cable/connector?

I was using my OpenWRT enhanced device as a repeater (which adds virtual ethernet and wireless lan capabilities) and found that the /sys/class/net/eth0 carrier and opstate values were unreliable. I played around with /sys/class/net/eth0.1 and /sys/class/net/eth0.2 as well with (at least to my finding) no reliable way to detect that something was physically plugged in and talking on any of the ethernet ports. I figured out a bit crude but seemingly reliable way to detect if anything had been plugged in since the last reboot/poweron state at least (which worked exactly as I needed it to in my case).

ifconfig eth0 | grep -o 'RX packets:[0-9]*' | grep -o '[0-9]*'

You'll get a 0 if nothing has been plugged in and something > 0 if anything has been plugged in (even if it was plugged in and since removed) since the last power on or reboot cycle.

Hope this helps somebody out at least!

How to securely save username/password (local)?

If you are just going to verify/validate the entered user name and password, use the Rfc2898DerivedBytes class (also known as Password Based Key Derivation Function 2 or PBKDF2). This is more secure than using encryption like Triple DES or AES because there is no practical way to go from the result of RFC2898DerivedBytes back to the password. You can only go from a password to the result. See Is it ok to use SHA1 hash of password as a salt when deriving encryption key and IV from password string? for an example and discussion for .Net or String encrypt / decrypt with password c# Metro Style for WinRT/Metro.

If you are storing the password for reuse, such as supplying it to a third party, use the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI). This uses operating system generated and protected keys and the Triple DES encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt information. This means your application does not have to worry about generating and protecting the encryption keys, a major concern when using cryptography.

In C#, use the System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData class. For example, to encrypt a piece of data, use ProtectedData.Protect():

// Data to protect. Convert a string to a byte[] using Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes().
byte[] plaintext; 

// Generate additional entropy (will be used as the Initialization vector)
byte[] entropy = new byte[20];
using(RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
{
    rng.GetBytes(entropy);
}

byte[] ciphertext = ProtectedData.Protect(plaintext, entropy,
    DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser);

Store the entropy and ciphertext securely, such as in a file or registry key with permissions set so only the current user can read it. To get access to the original data, use ProtectedData.Unprotect():

byte[] plaintext= ProtectedData.Unprotect(ciphertext, entropy,
    DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser);

Note that there are additional security considerations. For example, avoid storing secrets like passwords as a string. Strings are immutable, being they cannot be notified in memory so someone looking at the application's memory or a memory dump may see the password. Use SecureString or a byte[] instead and remember to dispose or zero them as soon as the password is no longer needed.

CSS Outside Border

I think you've got your understanding of the two properties off a little. Border affects the outside edge of the element, making the element different in size. Outline will not change the size or position of the element (takes up no space) and goes outside the border. From your description you want to use the border property.

Look at the simple example below in your browser:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; outline: thick solid #00ff00">SOME TEXT HERE</div>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; border-left: thick solid #00ff00">SOME TEXT HERE</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Notice how the border pushes the bottom div over, but the outline doesn't move the top div and the outline actually overlaps the bottom div.

You can read more about it here:

Outline

Java math function to convert positive int to negative and negative to positive?

x = -x;

This is probably the most trivial question I have ever seen anywhere.

... and why you would call this trivial function 'reverse()' is another mystery.

How to count the number of observations in R like Stata command count

The with function will let you use shorthand column references and sum will count TRUE results from the expression(s).

sum(with(aaa, sex==1 & group1==2))
## [1] 3

sum(with(aaa, sex==1 & group2=="A"))
## [1] 2

As @mnel pointed out, you can also do:

nrow(aaa[aaa$sex==1 & aaa$group1==2,])
## [1] 3

nrow(aaa[aaa$sex==1 & aaa$group2=="A",])
## [1] 2

The benefit of that is that you can do:

nrow(aaa)
## [1] 6

And, the behaviour matches Stata's count almost exactly (syntax notwithstanding).

How to convert View Model into JSON object in ASP.NET MVC?

How to read specific lines from a file (by line number)?

Here's my little 2 cents, for what it's worth ;)

def indexLines(filename, lines=[2,4,6,8,10,12,3,5,7,1]):
    fp   = open(filename, "r")
    src  = fp.readlines()
    data = [(index, line) for index, line in enumerate(src) if index in lines]
    fp.close()
    return data


# Usage below
filename = "C:\\Your\\Path\\And\\Filename.txt"
for line in indexLines(filename): # using default list, specify your own list of lines otherwise
    print "Line: %s\nData: %s\n" % (line[0], line[1])

How to make connection to Postgres via Node.js

Just to add a different option - I use Node-DBI to connect to PG, but also due to the ability to talk to MySQL and sqlite. Node-DBI also includes functionality to build a select statement, which is handy for doing dynamic stuff on the fly.

Quick sample (using config information stored in another file):

var DBWrapper = require('node-dbi').DBWrapper;
var config = require('./config');

var dbConnectionConfig = { host:config.db.host, user:config.db.username, password:config.db.password, database:config.db.database };
var dbWrapper = new DBWrapper('pg', dbConnectionConfig);
dbWrapper.connect();
dbWrapper.fetchAll(sql_query, null, function (err, result) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log("Data came back from the DB.");
  } else {
    console.log("DB returned an error: %s", err);
  }

  dbWrapper.close(function (close_err) {
    if (close_err) {
      console.log("Error while disconnecting: %s", close_err);
    }
  });
});

config.js:

var config = {
  db:{
    host:"plop",
    database:"musicbrainz",
    username:"musicbrainz",
    password:"musicbrainz"
  },
}
module.exports = config;

super() fails with error: TypeError "argument 1 must be type, not classobj" when parent does not inherit from object

If the python version is 3.X, it's okay.

I think your python version is 2.X, the super would work when adding this code

__metaclass__ = type

so the code is

__metaclass__ = type
class B:
    def meth(self, arg):
        print arg
class C(B):
    def meth(self, arg):
        super(C, self).meth(arg)
print C().meth(1)

Wait till a Function with animations is finished until running another Function

ECMAScript 6 UPDATE

This uses a new feature of JavaScript called Promises

functionOne().then(functionTwo);

Call break in nested if statements

Actually there is no c3 in the sample code in the original question. So the if would be more properly

if (c1 && c2) {
    //sequence 1
} else if (!c1 && !c2) {
   // sequence 3
}

How to write a multidimensional array to a text file?

Pickle is best for these cases. Suppose you have a ndarray named x_train. You can dump it into a file and revert it back using the following command:

import pickle

###Load into file
with open("myfile.pkl","wb") as f:
    pickle.dump(x_train,f)

###Extract from file
with open("myfile.pkl","rb") as f:
    x_temp = pickle.load(f)

phantomjs not waiting for "full" page load

Another approach is to just ask PhantomJS to wait for a bit after the page has loaded before doing the render, as per the regular rasterize.js example, but with a longer timeout to allow the JavaScript to finish loading additional resources:

page.open(address, function (status) {
    if (status !== 'success') {
        console.log('Unable to load the address!');
        phantom.exit();
    } else {
        window.setTimeout(function () {
            page.render(output);
            phantom.exit();
        }, 1000); // Change timeout as required to allow sufficient time 
    }
});

Change bootstrap navbar background color and font color

Most likely these classes are already defined by Bootstrap, make sure that your CSS file that you want to override the classes with is called AFTER the Bootstrap CSS.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css" /> <!-- Call Bootstrap first -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-override.css" /> <!-- Call override CSS second -->

Otherwise, you can put !important at the end of your CSS like this: color:#ffffff!important; but I would advise against using !important at all costs.

How should I multiple insert multiple records?

You can directly insert a DataTable if it is created correctly.

First make sure that the access table columns have the same column names and similar types. Then you can use this function which I believe is very fast and elegant.

public void AccessBulkCopy(DataTable table)
{
    foreach (DataRow r in table.Rows)
        r.SetAdded();

    var myAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM " + table.TableName, _myAccessConn);

    var cbr = new OleDbCommandBuilder(myAdapter);
    cbr.QuotePrefix = "[";
    cbr.QuoteSuffix = "]";
    cbr.GetInsertCommand(true);

    myAdapter.Update(table);
}

How to get query string parameter from MVC Razor markup?

It was suggested to post this as an answer, because some other answers are giving errors like 'The name Context does not exist in the current context'.

Just using the following works:

Request.Query["queryparm1"]

Sample usage:

<a href="@Url.Action("Query",new {parm1=Request.Query["queryparm1"]})">GO</a>

Is there a C++ gdb GUI for Linux?

I loathe the idea of Windows development, but the VC++ debugger is among the best I've seen. I haven't found a GUI front end that comes close to the VC one.

GDB is awesome once you really get used to it. Use it in anger enough and you'll become very proficient. I can whiz around a program doing all the things you listed without much effort anymore. It did take a month or so of suffering over a SSH link to a remote server before I was proficient. I'd never go back though.

DDD is really powerful but it was quite buggy. I found it froze up quite often when it got messages from GDB that it didn't grok. It's good because it has a gdb interface window so you can see what's going on and also interact with gdb directly. DDD can't be used on a remote X session in my environment (a real problem, since I'm sitting at a thin client when I do Unix dev) for some reason so it's out for me.

KDevelop followed typical KDE style and exposed EVERYTHING to the user. I also never had any luck debugging non KDevelop programs in KDevelop.

The Gnat Programming Studio (GPS) is actually quite a good front-end to GDB. It doesn't just manage Ada projects, so it's worth trying out if you are in need of a debugger.

You could use Eclipse, but it's pretty heavy weight and a lot of seasoned Unix people I've worked with (me included) don't care much for its interface, which won't just STFU and get out of your way. Eclipse also seems to take up a lot of space and run like a dog.

How to change MySQL timezone in a database connection using Java?

MySQLDump one INSERT statement for each data row

In newer versions change was made to the flags: from the documentation:

--extended-insert, -e

Write INSERT statements using multiple-row syntax that includes several VALUES lists. This results in a smaller dump file and speeds up inserts when the file is reloaded.

--opt

This option, enabled by default, is shorthand for the combination of --add-drop-table --add-locks --create-options --disable-keys --extended-insert --lock-tables --quick --set-charset. It gives a fast dump operation and produces a dump file that can be reloaded into a MySQL server quickly.

Because the --opt option is enabled by default, you only specify its converse, the --skip-opt to turn off several default settings. See the discussion of mysqldump option groups for information about selectively enabling or disabling a subset of the options affected by --opt.

--skip-extended-insert

Turn off extended-insert

preventDefault() on an <a> tag

It's suggested that you do not use return false, as 3 things occur as a result:

  1. event.preventDefault();
  2. event.stopPropagation();
  3. Stops callback execution and returns immediately when called.

So in this type of situation, you should really only use event.preventDefault();

Archive of article - jQuery Events: Stop (Mis)Using Return False

Use bash to find first folder name that contains a string

pattern="foo"
for _dir in *"${pattern}"*; do
    [ -d "${_dir}" ] && dir="${_dir}" && break
done
echo "${dir}"

This is better than the other shell solution provided because

  • it will be faster for huge directories as the pattern is part of the glob and not checked inside the loop
  • actually works as expected when there is no directory matching your pattern (then ${dir} will be empty)
  • it will work in any POSIX-compliant shell since it does not rely on the =~ operator (if you need this depends on your pattern)
  • it will work for directories containing newlines in their name (vs. find)

Detect if an input has text in it using CSS -- on a page I am visiting and do not control?

The valid selector will do the trick.

<input type="text" class="myText" required="required" />

.myText {
    //default style of input
}
.myText:valid {
    //style when input has text
}

Java, return if trimmed String in List contains String

Try this:

for(String str: myList) {
    if(str.trim().equals("A"))
       return true;
}
return false;

You need to use str.equals or str.equalsIgnoreCase instead of contains because contains in string works not the same as contains in List

List<String> s = Arrays.asList("BAB", "SAB", "DAS");
s.contains("A"); // false
"BAB".contains("A"); // true

Python error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

My solution is put those imports in __init__.py of lib:

Then,

import lib
lib.mod1

would work fine.

Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

As per OP's update, It was not showing up locally, but as per OP's update, once I uploaded it to the server, it was fine.

Since this is a simple, static html website, I have the luxury of working on it without running a local webserver.
A webserver will generally automatically serve up the favicon, if there is one, by default.

But when not running a webserver, the browser itself will not just read the directory looking for additional files, say a favicon.ico, unless it is listed in the html document.

So, while I had the following items in the head tag:

    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">
    <link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

I did not also include a reference for plain 'ol favicon.ico.
Even though, the favicon.ico file was included, in addition to the images listed above.

Once I added the following line:

    <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">

It did also show up in my browser, when I viewing the local file, even when not serving it through a local server.

So icon showed up fine when it ran on the live server, but not locally.

I mention this explicitly because the favicon generator I used, kindly supplied the code, icons, manifest, and instructions. However, while it included the favicon.ico image, it did not include a <link> to that file in the code to add to the html document.
I guess that service presumes favicon.ico will automatically be served up and used by all browsers by default, so only the "alternate" versions needed to be explicitly added to the head tag.
Evidently, they don't consider that when viewing files locally (aka not serving them up locally), we aren't interested in seeing the favicon?

Use component from another module

(Angular 2 - Angular 7)

Component can be declared in a single module only. In order to use a component from another module, you need to do two simple tasks:

  1. Export the component in the other module
  2. Import the other module, into the current module

1st Module:

Have a component (lets call it: "ImportantCopmonent"), we want to re-use in the 2nd Module's page.

@NgModule({
declarations: [
    FirstPage,
    ImportantCopmonent // <-- Enable using the component html tag in current module
],
imports: [
  IonicPageModule.forChild(NotImportantPage),
  TranslateModule.forChild(),
],
exports: [
    FirstPage,
    ImportantCopmonent // <--- Enable using the component in other modules
  ]
})
export class FirstPageModule { }

2nd Module:

Reuses the "ImportantCopmonent", by importing the FirstPageModule

@NgModule({
declarations: [
    SecondPage,
    Example2ndComponent,
    Example3rdComponent
],
imports: [
  IonicPageModule.forChild(SecondPage),
  TranslateModule.forChild(),
  FirstPageModule // <--- this Imports the source module, with its exports
], 
exports: [
    SecondPage,
]
})
export class SecondPageModule { }

How to run a cron job on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday?

Here's my example crontab I always use as a template:

    # Use the hash sign to prefix a comment
    # +---------------- minute (0 - 59)
    # |  +------------- hour (0 - 23)
    # |  |  +---------- day of month (1 - 31)
    # |  |  |  +------- month (1 - 12)
    # |  |  |  |  +---- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
    # |  |  |  |  |
    # *  *  *  *  *  command to be executed
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To run my cron job every Monday, Wednesady and Friday at 7:00PM, the result will be:

      0 19 * * 1,3,5 nohup /home/lathonez/script.sh > /tmp/script.log 2>&1

How to state in requirements.txt a direct github source

“Editable” packages syntax can be used in requirements.txt to import packages from a variety of VCS (git, hg, bzr, svn):

-e git://github.com/mozilla/elasticutils.git#egg=elasticutils

Also, it is possible to point to particular commit:

-e git://github.com/mozilla/elasticutils.git@000b14389171a9f0d7d713466b32bc649b0bed8e#egg=elasticutils

Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'

Inherit Activity Class instead of ListActivity you can resolve this problem.

public class ExampleActivity extends Activity  {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.mainlist);
    }
}

How to POST a JSON object to a JAX-RS service

I faced the same 415 http error when sending objects, serialized into JSON, via PUT/PUSH requests to my JAX-rs services, in other words my server was not able to de-serialize the objects from JSON. In my case, the server was able to serialize successfully the same objects in JSON when sending them into its responses.

As mentioned in the other responses I have correctly set the Accept and Content-Type headers to application/json, but it doesn't suffice.

Solution

I simply forgot a default constructor with no parameters for my DTO objects. Yes this is the same reasoning behind @Entity objects, you need a constructor with no parameters for the ORM to instantiate objects and populate the fields later.

Adding the constructor with no parameters to my DTO objects solved my issue. Here follows an example that resembles my code:

Wrong

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class NumberDTO {
    public NumberDTO(Number number) {
        this.number = number;
    }

    private Number number;

    public Number getNumber() {
        return number;
    }

    public void setNumber(Number string) {
        this.number = string;
    }
}

Right

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class NumberDTO {

    public NumberDTO() {
    }

    public NumberDTO(Number number) {
        this.number = number;
    }

    private Number number;

    public Number getNumber() {
        return number;
    }

    public void setNumber(Number string) {
        this.number = string;
    }
}

I lost hours, I hope this'll save yours ;-)

Python convert decimal to hex

This isn't exactly what you asked for but you can use the "hex" function in python:

>>> hex(15)
'0xf'

Storing money in a decimal column - what precision and scale?

4 decimal places would give you the accuracy to store the world's smallest currency sub-units. You can take it down further if you need micropayment (nanopayment?!) accuracy.

I too prefer DECIMAL to DBMS-specific money types, you're safer keeping that kind of logic in the application IMO. Another approach along the same lines is simply to use a [long] integer, with formatting into ¤unit.subunit for human readability (¤ = currency symbol) done at the application level.

Validate that end date is greater than start date with jQuery

Little late to the party but here is my part

Date.parse(fromDate) > Date.parse(toDate)

Here is the detail:

var from = $("#from").val();
var to = $("#to").val();

if(Date.parse(from) > Date.parse(to)){
   alert("Invalid Date Range");
}
else{
   alert("Valid date Range");
}

How to detect if a stored procedure already exists

In addition to what has already been said I also like to add a different approach and advocate the use of differential script deployment strategy. Instead of making a stateful script that always checks the current state and acts based on that state, deploy via a series of stateless scripts that upgrade from well known versions. I have used this strategy and it pays off big time as my deployment scripts are now all 'IF' free.

TabLayout tab selection

If you can't use tab.select() and you don't want to use a ViewPager, you can still programmatically select a tab. If you're using a custom view through TabLayout.Tab setCustomView(android.view.View view) it is simpler. Here's how to do it both ways.

// if you've set a custom view
void updateTabSelection(int position) {
    // get the position of the currently selected tab and set selected to false
    mTabLayout.getTabAt(mTabLayout.getSelectedTabPosition()).getCustomView().setSelected(false);
    // set selected to true on the desired tab
    mTabLayout.getTabAt(position).getCustomView().setSelected(true);
    // move the selection indicator
    mTabLayout.setScrollPosition(position, 0, true);

    // ... your logic to swap out your fragments
}

If you aren't using a custom view then you can do it like this

// if you are not using a custom view
void updateTabSelection(int position) {
    // get a reference to the tabs container view
    LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) mTabLayout.getChildAt(0);
    // get the child view at the position of the currently selected tab and set selected to false
    ll.getChildAt(mTabLayout.getSelectedTabPosition()).setSelected(false);
    // get the child view at the new selected position and set selected to true
    ll.getChildAt(position).setSelected(true);
    // move the selection indicator
    mTabLayout.setScrollPosition(position, 0, true);

    // ... your logic to swap out your fragments
}

Use a StateListDrawable to toggle between selected and unselected drawables or something similar to do what you want with colors and/or drawables.

How to detect IE11?

IE11 no longer reports as MSIE, according to this list of changes it's intentional to avoid mis-detection.

What you can do if you really want to know it's IE is to detect the Trident/ string in the user agent if navigator.appName returns Netscape, something like (the untested);

_x000D_
_x000D_
function getInternetExplorerVersion()_x000D_
{_x000D_
  var rv = -1;_x000D_
  if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')_x000D_
  {_x000D_
    var ua = navigator.userAgent;_x000D_
    var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\\.0-9]{0,})");_x000D_
    if (re.exec(ua) != null)_x000D_
      rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  else if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')_x000D_
  {_x000D_
    var ua = navigator.userAgent;_x000D_
    var re  = new RegExp("Trident/.*rv:([0-9]{1,}[\\.0-9]{0,})");_x000D_
    if (re.exec(ua) != null)_x000D_
      rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );_x000D_
  }_x000D_
  return rv;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log('IE version:', getInternetExplorerVersion());
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note that IE11 (afaik) still is in preview, and the user agent may change before release.

How can I find whitespace in a String?

Check whether a String contains at least one white space character:

public static boolean containsWhiteSpace(final String testCode){
    if(testCode != null){
        for(int i = 0; i < testCode.length(); i++){
            if(Character.isWhitespace(testCode.charAt(i))){
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Reference:


Using the Guava library, it's much simpler:

return CharMatcher.WHITESPACE.matchesAnyOf(testCode);

CharMatcher.WHITESPACE is also a lot more thorough when it comes to Unicode support.

Use sed to replace all backslashes with forward slashes

I had to use [\\] or [/] to be able to make this work, FYI.

awk '!/[\\]/' file > temp && mv temp file

and

awk '!/[/]/' file > temp && mv temp file

I was using awk to remove backlashes and forward slashes from a list.

How to alert using jQuery

$(".overdue").each( function() {
    alert("Your book is overdue.");
});

Note that ".addClass()" works because addClass is a function defined on the jQuery object. You can't just plop any old function on the end of a selector and expect it to work.

Also, probably a bad idea to bombard the user with n popups (where n = the number of books overdue).

Perhaps use the size function:

alert( "You have " + $(".overdue").size() + " books overdue." );

How can I access each element of a pair in a pair list?

I don't think that you'll like it but I made a pair port for python :) using it is some how similar to c++

pair = Pair
pair.make_pair(value1, value2)

or

pair = Pair(value1, value2)

here's the source code pair_stl_for_python

Can you put two conditions in an xslt test attribute?

From XML.com:

Like xsl:if instructions, xsl:when elements can have more elaborate contents between their start- and end-tags—for example, literal result elements, xsl:element elements, or even xsl:if and xsl:choose elements—to add to the result tree. Their test expressions can also use all the tricks and operators that the xsl:if element's test attribute can use, such as and, or, and function calls, to build more complex boolean expressions.

How to retrieve checkboxes values in jQuery

How to set an "Accept:" header on Spring RestTemplate request?

Here is a simple answer. Hope it helps someone.

import org.springframework.boot.devtools.remote.client.HttpHeaderInterceptor;
import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.http.client.ClientHttpRequestInterceptor;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;


public String post(SomeRequest someRequest) {
    // create a list the headers 
    List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors = new ArrayList<>();
    interceptors.add(new HttpHeaderInterceptor("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE));
    interceptors.add(new HttpHeaderInterceptor("ContentType", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE));
    interceptors.add(new HttpHeaderInterceptor("username", "user123"));
    interceptors.add(new HttpHeaderInterceptor("customHeader1", "c1"));
    interceptors.add(new HttpHeaderInterceptor("customHeader2", "c2"));
    // initialize RestTemplate
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    // set header interceptors here
    restTemplate.setInterceptors(interceptors);
    // post the request. The response should be JSON string
    String response = restTemplate.postForObject(Url, someRequest, String.class);

Why does ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] return the string "10"?

  1. Unary plus given string converts to number
  2. Increment operator given string converts and increments by 1
  3. [] == ''. Empty String
  4. +'' or +[] evaluates 0.

    ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] = 10 
    ++[''][0] + [0] : First part is gives zeroth element of the array which is empty string 
    1+0 
    10
    

How can I set my Cygwin PATH to find javac?

Java binaries may be under "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)": those white spaces will likely affect the behaviour.

In order to set up env variables correctly, I suggest gathering some info before starting:

  • Open DOS shell (type cmd into 'RUN' box) go to C:\
  • type "dir /x" and take note of DOS names (with ~) for "Program Files *" folders

Cygwin configuration:

go under C:\cygwin\home\, then open .bash_profile and add the following two lines (conveniently customized in order to match you actual JDK path)

export JAVA_HOME="/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Java/jdk1.8.0_65"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

Now from Cygwin launch

javac -version

to check if the configuration is successful.

Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes Angular 2

For me adding AppRoutingModule to my imports solved the problem.

    imports: [
     BrowserModule,
     AppRoutingModule,
     RouterModule.forRoot([
      {
        path: 'new-cmp',
        component: NewCmpComponent
      }
     ])
    ]

syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

There is no semicolon at the end of that instruction causing the error.

EDIT

Like RiverC pointed out, there is no semicolon at the end of the previous line!

require ("scripts/connect.php") 

EDIT

It seems you have no-semicolons whatsoever.

http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php

As in C or Perl, PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement.

Adjust table column width to content size

The problem was the table width. I had used width: 100% for the table. The table columns are adjusted automatically after removing the width tag.

How to import multiple csv files in a single load?

Using Spark 2.0+, we can load multiple CSV files from different directories using df = spark.read.csv(['directory_1','directory_2','directory_3'.....], header=True). For more information, refer the documentation here

How to return JSon object

First of all, there's no such thing as a JSON object. What you've got in your question is a JavaScript object literal (see here for a great discussion on the difference). Here's how you would go about serializing what you've got to JSON though:

I would use an anonymous type filled with your results type:

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
    results = new List<Result>()
    {
        new Result { id = 1, value = "ABC", info = "ABC" },
        new Result { id = 2, value = "JKL", info = "JKL" }
    }
});

Also, note that the generated JSON has result items with ids of type Number instead of strings. I doubt this will be a problem, but it would be easy enough to change the type of id to string in the C#.

I'd also tweak your results type and get rid of the backing fields:

public class Result
{
    public int id { get ;set; }
    public string value { get; set; }
    public string info { get; set; }
}

Furthermore, classes conventionally are PascalCased and not camelCased.

Here's the generated JSON from the code above:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "value": "ABC",
      "info": "ABC"
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "value": "JKL",
      "info": "JKL"
    }
  ]
}

Iterating through all nodes in XML file

I think the fastest and simplest way would be to use an XmlReader, this will not require any recursion and minimal memory foot print.

Here is a simple example, for compactness I just used a simple string of course you can use a stream from a file etc.

  string xml = @"
    <parent>
      <child>
        <nested />
      </child>
      <child>
        <other>
        </other>
      </child>
    </parent>
    ";

  XmlReader rdr = XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader(xml));
  while (rdr.Read())
  {
    if (rdr.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(rdr.LocalName);
    }
  }

The result of the above will be

parent
child
nested
child
other

A list of all the elements in the XML document.

The real difference between "int" and "unsigned int"

The problem is that you invoked Undefined Behaviour.


When you invoke UB anything can happen.

The assignments are ok; there is an implicit conversion in the first line

int x = 0xFFFFFFFF;
unsigned int y = 0xFFFFFFFF;

However, the call to printf, is not ok

printf("%d, %d, %u, %u", x, y, x, y);

It is UB to mismatch the % specifier and the type of the argument.
In your case you specify 2 ints and 2 unsigned ints in this order by provide 1 int, 1 unsigned int, 1 int, and 1 unsigned int.


Don't do UB!

Google Maps: How to create a custom InfoWindow?

You can even append your own css class on the popup container/canvas or how do you want. Current google maps 3.7 has popups styled by canvas element which prepends popup div container in code. So at googlemaps 3.7 You can get into rendering process by popup's domready event like this:

var popup = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(popup, 'domready', function() {
  if (this.content && this.content.parentNode && this.content.parentNode.parentNode) {
    if (this.content.parentNode.parentNode.previousElementSibling) {
      this.content.parentNode.parentNode.previousElementSibling.className = 'my-custom-popup-container-css-classname';
    }
  }
});

element.previousElementSibling is not present at IE8- so if you want to make it work at it, follow this.

check the latest InfoWindow reference for events and more..

I found this most clean in some cases.

Are members of a C++ struct initialized to 0 by default?

In general, no. However, a struct declared as file-scope or static in a function /will/ be initialized to 0 (just like all other variables of those scopes):

int x; // 0
int y = 42; // 42
struct { int a, b; } foo; // 0, 0

void foo() {
  struct { int a, b; } bar; // undefined
  static struct { int c, d; } quux; // 0, 0
}

Oracle: Import CSV file

From Oracle 18c you could use Inline External Tables:

Inline external tables enable the runtime definition of an external table as part of a SQL statement, without creating the external table as persistent object in the data dictionary.

With inline external tables, the same syntax that is used to create an external table with a CREATE TABLE statement can be used in a SELECT statement at runtime. Specify inline external tables in the FROM clause of a query block. Queries that include inline external tables can also include regular tables for joins, aggregation, and so on.

INSERT INTO target_table(time_id, prod_id, quantity_sold, amount_sold)
SELECT time_id, prod_id, quantity_sold, amount_sold
FROM   EXTERNAL (   
    (time_id        DATE NOT NULL,     
     prod_id        INTEGER NOT NULL,
     quantity_sold  NUMBER(10,2),
     amount_sold    NUMBER(10,2))     
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER     
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY data_dir1
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
      RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
      FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|')     
   LOCATION ('sales_9.csv') REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED) sales_external;

Getting Hour and Minute in PHP

Another way to address the timezone issue if you want to set the default timezone for the entire script to a certian timezone is to use date_default_timezone_set() then use one of the supported timezones.

How to create permanent PowerShell Aliases

2018, Windows 10

You can link to any file or directory with the help of a simple PowerShell script.

Writing a file shortcut script

Open Windows PowerShell ISE. In the script pane write:

New-Alias ${shortcutName} ${fullFileLocation}

Then head to the command-line pane. Find your PowerShell user profile address with echo $profile. Save the script in this address.

enter image description here

The script in PowerShell's profile address will run each time you open powershell. The shortcut should work with every new PowerShell window.

Writing a directory shortcut script

It requires another line in our script.

function ${nameOfFunction} {set-location ${directory_location}}
New-Alias ${shortcut} ${nameOfFunction} 

The rest is exactly the same.

enter image description here

Enable PowerShell Scripts

By default PowerShell scripts are blocked. To enable them, open settings -> Update & Security -> For developers. Select Developer Mode (might require restart). Selecting Developer Mode Windows 10.

Scroll down to the PowerShell section, tick the "Change execution policy ..." option, and apply.

How can I trim beginning and ending double quotes from a string?

To remove one or more double quotes from the start and end of a string in Java, you need to use a regex based solution:

String result = input_str.replaceAll("^\"+|\"+$", "");

If you need to also remove single quotes:

String result = input_str.replaceAll("^[\"']+|[\"']+$", "");

NOTE: If your string contains " inside, this approach might lead to issues (e.g. "Name": "John" => Name": "John).

See a Java demo here:

String input_str = "\"'some string'\"";
String result = input_str.replaceAll("^[\"']+|[\"']+$", "");
System.out.println(result); // => some string

Web API Put Request generates an Http 405 Method Not Allowed error

Decorating one of the action params with [FromBody] solved the issue for me:

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> SetAmountOnEntry(string id, [FromBody]int amount)

However ASP.NET would infer it correctly if complex object was used in the method parameter:

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> UpdateEntry(string id, MyEntry entry)

How to view the stored procedure code in SQL Server Management Studio

In case you don't have permission to 'Modify', you can install a free tool called "SQL Search" (by Redgate). I use it to search for keywords that I know will be in the SP and it returns a preview of the SP code with the keywords highlighted.

Ingenious! I then copy this code into my own SP.

string.split - by multiple character delimiter

Another option:

Replace the string delimiter with a single character, then split on that character.

string input = "abc][rfd][5][,][.";
string[] parts1 = input.Replace("][","-").Split('-');

How to round up a number in Javascript?

/**
 * @param num The number to round
 * @param precision The number of decimal places to preserve
 */
function roundUp(num, precision) {
  precision = Math.pow(10, precision)
  return Math.ceil(num * precision) / precision
}

roundUp(192.168, 1) //=> 192.2

javascript, is there an isObject function like isArray?

Get absolute path of initially run script

A simple way to have the absolute path of the initially executed script, in that script and any other script included with include, require, require_once is by using a constant and storing there the current script path at beginning of the main script:

define( 'SCRIPT_ROOT', __FILE__ );

The solution above is suitable when there is a single "main" script that includes every other needed script, as in most web applications.

If that's not the case and there may be several "intital scripts" then to avoid redefinitions and to have the correct path stored inside the constant each script may begin with:

if( ! defined( 'SCRIPT_ROOT' ) ) {
    define( 'SCRIPT_ROOT`, __FILE__ );
}

A note about the (currently) accepted answer:

the answer states that the initially executed script path is the first element of the array returned by get_included_files().

This is a clever and simple solution and -at the time of writing- (we're almost at PHP 7.4.0) it does work.

However by looking at the documentation there is no mention that the initially executed script is the first item of the array returned by get_included_files().

We only read

The script originally called is considered an "included file," so it will be listed together with the files referenced by include and family.

At the time of writing the "script originally called" is the first one in the array but -technically- there is no guarantee that this won't change in the future.


A note about realpath(), __FILE__, and __DIR__:

Others have suggested in their answers the use of __FILE__, __DIR__, dirname(__FILE__), realpath(__DIR__)...

dirname(__FILE__) is equal to __DIR__ (introduced in PHP 5.3.0), so just use __DIR__.

Both __FILE__ and __DIR__ are always absolute paths so realpath() is unnecessary.

String literals and escape characters in postgresql

Partially. The text is inserted, but the warning is still generated.

I found a discussion that indicated the text needed to be preceded with 'E', as such:

insert into EscapeTest (text) values (E'This is the first part \n And this is the second');

This suppressed the warning, but the text was still not being returned correctly. When I added the additional slash as Michael suggested, it worked.

As such:

insert into EscapeTest (text) values (E'This is the first part \\n And this is the second');

Using LINQ to remove elements from a List<T>

Simple solution:

static void Main()
{
    List<string> myList = new List<string> { "Jason", "Bob", "Frank", "Bob" };
    myList.RemoveAll(x => x == "Bob");

    foreach (string s in myList)
    {
        //
    }
}

Selectors in Objective-C?

As per apple docs: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/DevPedia-CocoaCore/Selector.html

A selector is the name used to select a method to execute for an object, or the unique identifier that replaces the name when the source code is compiled. A selector by itself doesn’t do anything. It simply identifies a method. The only thing that makes the selector method name different from a plain string is that the compiler makes sure that selectors are unique. What makes a selector useful is that (in conjunction with the runtime) it acts like a dynamic function pointer that, for a given name, automatically points to the implementation of a method appropriate for whichever class it’s used with. Suppose you had a selector for the method run, and classes Dog, Athlete, and ComputerSimulation (each of which implemented a method run). The selector could be used with an instance of each of the classes to invoke its run method—even though the implementation might be different for each.

Example: (lldb) breakpoint --set selector viewDidLoad

This will set a breakpoint on all viewDidLoad implementations in your app. So selector is kind of a global identifier for a method.

how to hide <li> bullets in navigation menu and footer links BUT show them for listing items

The example bellow explains how to remove bullets using a css style class. You can use , similar to css class, by identifier (#id), by parent tag, etc. The same way you can use to define a css to remove bullets from the page footer.

I've used this site as a starting point.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.ui-menu li {
    list-style:none;
    background-image:none;
    background-repeat:none;
    background-position:0; 
}
ul
{
    list-style-type:none;
    padding:0px;
    margin:0px;
}
li
{
    background-image:url(sqpurple.gif);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:0px 5px; 
    padding-left:14px;
}
</style>
</head>

How to find numbers from a string?

Use the built-in VBA function Val, if the numbers are at the front end of the string:

Dim str as String
Dim lng as Long

str = "1 149 xyz"
lng = Val(str)

lng = 1149

Apache default VirtualHost

I will say what worked for me, the others answers above didn't help to my case at all. I hope it can help someone.

Actually, I'm using Virtual host configuration (sites-available / sites-enabled) on EC2 Linux AMI with Apache/2.4.39 (Amazon). So, I have 1 ec2 instance to serve many sites (domains).

Considering that you already have Virtual Host installed and working. In my folder /etc/httpd/sites-available, I have some files with domain names (suffix .conf), for example: domain.com.conf. Create a new file like that.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/sites-available/domain.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.domain.com
    ServerAlias domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain
</VirtualHost>

For each file.conf in sites-available, I create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/domain.com.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/domain.com.conf

This is the default configuration, so, if access directly by IP of Server, you will be redirect to DocumentRoot of the first file (.conf) in sites-available folder, sorted by filename.

To have a default DocumentRoot folder when access by IP, you have to create a file named 0a.conf, then apache will serve this site because this new file will be the first in sites-available folder.

You must create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/sites-available/0a.conf /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/0a.conf

To check serving order, use it:

sudo apachectl -S

Now, restart apache, and check out it.

Be happy =)

Scala: join an iterable of strings

How about mkString ?

theStrings.mkString(",")

A variant exists in which you can specify a prefix and suffix too.

See here for an implementation using foldLeft, which is much more verbose, but perhaps worth looking at for education's sake.

IOPub data rate exceeded in Jupyter notebook (when viewing image)

Terminal Multiplexer for Microsoft Windows - Installers for GNU Screen or tmux

As of the Windows 10 "Anniversary" update (Version 1607), you can now run an Ubuntu subsystem from directly inside of Windows by enabling a feature called Developer mode.

To enable developer mode, go to Start > Settings then typing "Use developer features" in the search box to find the setting. On the left hand navigation, you will then see a tab titled For developers. From within this tab, you will see a radio box to enable Developer mode.

After developer mode is enabled, you will then be able to enable the Linux subsystem feature. To do so, go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > and check the box that says Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)

Now, rather than using Cygwin or a console emulator, you can run tmux through bash on the Ubuntu subsystem directly from Windows through the traditional apt package (sudo apt-get install tmux).

Error when testing on iOS simulator: Couldn't register with the bootstrap server

Oh my - I tried EVERYTHING listed above and in other posts. Re-installed Xcode, rebooted my machine, copied all the missing files into the right folders... Eventually I backed-up my iphone, wiped it and restored it, and it worked!

I think what may have been the cause from reading in and around this was disconnecting my iphone white it was running with performance tools catching leaks. Or some such thing.

Aaaah, big sigh of relief.

Using Transactions or SaveChanges(false) and AcceptAllChanges()?

With the Entity Framework most of the time SaveChanges() is sufficient. This creates a transaction, or enlists in any ambient transaction, and does all the necessary work in that transaction.

Sometimes though the SaveChanges(false) + AcceptAllChanges() pairing is useful.

The most useful place for this is in situations where you want to do a distributed transaction across two different Contexts.

I.e. something like this (bad):

using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
{
    //Do something with context1
    //Do something with context2

    //Save and discard changes
    context1.SaveChanges();

    //Save and discard changes
    context2.SaveChanges();

    //if we get here things are looking good.
    scope.Complete();
}

If context1.SaveChanges() succeeds but context2.SaveChanges() fails the whole distributed transaction is aborted. But unfortunately the Entity Framework has already discarded the changes on context1, so you can't replay or effectively log the failure.

But if you change your code to look like this:

using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
{
    //Do something with context1
    //Do something with context2

    //Save Changes but don't discard yet
    context1.SaveChanges(false);

    //Save Changes but don't discard yet
    context2.SaveChanges(false);

    //if we get here things are looking good.
    scope.Complete();
    context1.AcceptAllChanges();
    context2.AcceptAllChanges();

}

While the call to SaveChanges(false) sends the necessary commands to the database, the context itself is not changed, so you can do it again if necessary, or you can interrogate the ObjectStateManager if you want.

This means if the transaction actually throws an exception you can compensate, by either re-trying or logging state of each contexts ObjectStateManager somewhere.

See my blog post for more.

How can I list all commits that changed a specific file?

If you wish to see all changes made in commits that changed a particular file (rather than just the changes to the file itself), you can pass --full-diff:

git log -p --full-diff [branch] -- <path>

Minimum Hardware requirements for Android development

How do I make an http request using cookies on Android?

Since Apache library is deprecated, for those who want to use HttpURLConncetion , I wrote this class to send Get and Post Request with the help of this answer:

public class WebService {

        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        os.close();

        Map<String, List<String>> headerFields = conn.getHeaderFields();

            }

Convert Pixels to Points

Try this if your code lies in a form:

Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
points = pixels * 72 / g.DpiX;
g.Dispose();

How can I find out if an .EXE has Command-Line Options?

Unless the writer of the executable has specifically provided a way for you to display a list of all the command line switches that it offers, then there is no way of doing this.

As Marcin suggests, the typical switches for displaying all of the options are either /? or /help (some applications might prefer the Unix-style syntax, -? and -help, respectively). But those are just a common convention.

If those don't work, you're out of luck. You'll need to check the documentation for the application, or perhaps try decompiling the executable (if you know what you're looking for).

Getting a list of files in a directory with a glob

I won't pretend to be an expert on the topic, but you should have access to both the glob and wordexp function from objective-c, no?

Javascript Get Element by Id and set the value

I think the problem is the way you call your javascript function. Your code is like so:

<input type="button" onclick="javascript: myFunc(myID)" value="button"/>

myID should be wrapped in quotes.

How to download file from database/folder using php

butangDonload.php

Try this,

<?php

$name=$_SESSION['name'];
download($name);

function download($name){
$file = $nama_fail;

Define global variable with webpack

You can use define window.myvar = {}. When you want to use it, you can use like window.myvar = 1

Method with a bool return

private bool CheckAll()
{
    if ( ....)
    {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

When the if-condition is false the method doesn't know what value should be returned (you probably get an error like "not all paths return a value").

As CQQL pointed out if you mean to return true when your if-condition is true you could have simply written:

private bool CheckAll()
{
    return (your_condition);
}

If you have side effects, and you want to handle them before you return, the first (long) version would be required.

POST data to a URL in PHP

Your question is not particularly clear, but in case you want to send POST data to a url without using a form, you can use either fsockopen or curl.

Here's a pretty good walkthrough of both

How can I delay a :hover effect in CSS?

div {
     background: #dbdbdb;
    -webkit-transition: .5s all;   
    -webkit-transition-delay: 5s; 
    -moz-transition: .5s all;   
    -moz-transition-delay: 5s; 
    -ms-transition: .5s all;   
    -ms-transition-delay: 5s; 
    -o-transition: .5s all;   
    -o-transition-delay: 5s; 
    transition: .5s all;   
    transition-delay: 5s; 
}

div:hover {
    background:#5AC900;
    -webkit-transition-delay: 0s;
    -moz-transition-delay: 0s;
    -ms-transition-delay: 0s;
    -o-transition-delay: 0s;
    transition-delay: 0s;
}

This will add a transition delay, which will be applicable to almost every browser..

How do I generate a random integer between min and max in Java?

You can use Random.nextInt(n). This returns a random int in [0,n). Just using max-min+1 in place of n and adding min to the answer will give a value in the desired range.

Dynamically fill in form values with jQuery

Automatically fill all form fields from an array

http://jsfiddle.net/brynner/wf0rk7tz/2/

JS

function fill(a){
    for(var k in a){
        $('[name="'+k+'"]').val(a[k]);
    }
}

array_example = {"God":"Jesus","Holy":"Spirit"};

fill(array_example);

HTML

<form>
<input name="God">
<input name="Holy">
</form>

Create a file if one doesn't exist - C

You typically have to do this in a single syscall, or else you will get a race condition.

This will open for reading and writing, creating the file if necessary.

FILE *fp = fopen("scores.dat", "ab+");

If you want to read it and then write a new version from scratch, then do it as two steps.

FILE *fp = fopen("scores.dat", "rb");
if (fp) {
    read_scores(fp);
}

// Later...

// truncates the file
FILE *fp = fopen("scores.dat", "wb");
if (!fp)
    error();
write_scores(fp);

How to list all dates between two dates

Use this,

DECLARE @start_date DATETIME = '2015-02-12 00:00:00.000';
DECLARE @end_date DATETIME = '2015-02-13 00:00:00.000';

WITH    AllDays
          AS ( SELECT   @start_date AS [Date], 1 AS [level]
               UNION ALL
               SELECT   DATEADD(DAY, 1, [Date]), [level] + 1
               FROM     AllDays
               WHERE    [Date] < @end_date )
     SELECT [Date], [level]
     FROM   AllDays OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)

pass the @start_date and @end_date as SP parameters.

Result:

Date                    level
----------------------- -----------
2015-02-12 00:00:00.000 1
2015-02-13 00:00:00.000 2

Auto-indent spaces with C in vim?

I wrote all about tabs in vim, which gives a few interesting things you didn't ask about. To automatically indent braces, use:

:set cindent

To indent two spaces (instead of one tab of eight spaces, the vim default):

:set shiftwidth=2

To keep vim from converting eight spaces into tabs:

:set expandtab

If you ever want to change the indentation of a block of text, use < and >. I usually use this in conjunction with block-select mode (v, select a block of text, < or >).

(I'd try to talk you out of using two-space indentation, since I (and most other people) find it hard to read, but that's another discussion.)

how to put focus on TextBox when the form load?

Set theActiveControl property of the form and you should be fine.

this.ActiveControl = yourtextboxname;

Return HTML from ASP.NET Web API

Starting with AspNetCore 2.0, it's recommended to use ContentResult instead of the Produce attribute in this case. See: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/issues/6657#issuecomment-322586885

This doesn't rely on serialization nor on content negotiation.

[HttpGet]
public ContentResult Index() {
    return new ContentResult {
        ContentType = "text/html",
        StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK,
        Content = "<html><body>Hello World</body></html>"
    };
}

How to access SOAP services from iPhone

My solution was to have a proxy server accept REST, issue the SOAP request, and return result, using PHP.

Time to implement: 15-30 minutes.

Not most elegant, but solid.

SQL Update to the SUM of its joined values

You need something like this :

UPDATE P
SET ExtrasPrice = E.TotalPrice
FROM dbo.BookingPitches AS P
INNER JOIN (SELECT BPE.PitchID, Sum(BPE.Price) AS TotalPrice
    FROM BookingPitchExtras AS BPE
    WHERE BPE.[Required] = 1
    GROUP BY BPE.PitchID) AS E ON P.ID = E.PitchID
WHERE P.BookingID = 1

The create-react-app imports restriction outside of src directory

I think Lukas Bach solution to use react-app-rewired in order to modify webpack config is a good way to go, however, I wouldn't exclude the whole ModuleScopePlugin but instead whitelist the specific file that can be imported outside of src:

config-overrides.js

const ModuleScopePlugin = require("react-dev-utils/ModuleScopePlugin");
const path = require("path");

module.exports = function override(config) {
  config.resolve.plugins.forEach(plugin => {
    if (plugin instanceof ModuleScopePlugin) {
      plugin.allowedFiles.add(path.resolve("./config.json"));
    }
  });

  return config;
};

Bootstrap row class contains margin-left and margin-right which creates problems

Are you using Bootstrap 3? My version of the css has -15px, not -13px. In any case, I've simply done what you've down, and overwritten the style. I believe it's because the .container class has a 15px padding on the left and right, and this negative margin on the rows will pull that content back out to the edge of the container.

UIImage resize (Scale proportion)

I used this single line of code to create a new UIImage which is scaled. Set the scale and orientation params to achieve what you want. The first line of code just grabs the image.

    // grab the original image
    UIImage *originalImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage.png"];
    // scaling set to 2.0 makes the image 1/2 the size. 
    UIImage *scaledImage = 
                [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[originalImage CGImage] 
                              scale:(originalImage.scale * 2.0)
                                 orientation:(originalImage.imageOrientation)];

Adding rows dynamically with jQuery

I have Tried something like this and its works fine;

enter image description here

this is the html part :

How do I dump the data of some SQLite3 tables?

Not the best way, but at lease does not need external tools (except grep, which is standard on *nix boxes anyway)

sqlite3 database.db3 .dump | grep '^INSERT INTO "tablename"'

but you do need to do this command for each table you are looking for though.

Note that this does not include schema.

Searching for UUIDs in text with regex

I agree that by definition your regex does not miss any UUID. However it may be useful to note that if you are searching especially for Microsoft's Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs), there are five equivalent string representations for a GUID:

"ca761232ed4211cebacd00aa0057b223" 

"CA761232-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223" 

"{CA761232-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}" 

"(CA761232-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223)" 

"{0xCA761232, 0xED42, 0x11CE, {0xBA, 0xCD, 0x00, 0xAA, 0x00, 0x57, 0xB2, 0x23}}" 

How to fix "set SameSite cookie to none" warning?

If you are experiencing the OP's problem where your cookies have been set using JavaScript - for example:

document.cookie = "my_cookie_name=my_cookie_value; expires=Thu, 11 Jun 2070 11:11:11 UTC; path=/";

you could instead use:

document.cookie = "my_cookie_name=my_cookie_value; expires=Thu, 11 Jun 2070 11:11:11 UTC; path=/; SameSite=None; Secure";

It worked for me. More info here.

How to get the first word of a sentence in PHP?

Where is my .vimrc file?

For whatever reason, these answers didn't quite work for me. This is what worked for me instead:

In Vim, the :version command gives you the paths of system and user vimrc and gvimrc files (among other things), and the output looks something like this:

 system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
   user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
    user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
system gvimrc file: "$VIM/gvimrc"
  user gvimrc file: "$HOME/.gvimrc"

The one you want is user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"

So to edit the file: vim $HOME/.vimrc

Source: Open vimrc file

How to Execute SQL Server Stored Procedure in SQL Developer?

You don't need EXEC clause. Simply use

proc_name paramValue1, paramValue2

(and you need commas as Misnomer mentioned)

Converting char[] to byte[]

private static byte[] charArrayToByteArray(char[] c_array) {
        byte[] b_array = new byte[c_array.length];
        for(int i= 0; i < c_array.length; i++) {
            b_array[i] = (byte)(0xFF & (int)c_array[i]);
        }
        return b_array;
}

Convert String to int array in java

It looks like JSON - it might be overkill, depending on the situation, but you could consider using a JSON library (e.g. http://json.org/java/) to parse it:

    String arr = "[1,2]";

    JSONArray jsonArray = (JSONArray) new JSONObject(new JSONTokener("{data:"+arr+"}")).get("data");

    int[] outArr = new int[jsonArray.length()]; 

    for(int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++) {
        outArr[i] = jsonArray.getInt(i);
    }

How do I convert from stringstream to string in C++?

From memory, you call stringstream::str() to get the std::string value out.

how to set default method argument values?

If your arguments are the same type you could use varargs:

public int something(int... args) {
    int a = 0;
    int b = 0;
    if (args.length > 0) {
      a = args[0];
    }
    if (args.length > 1) {
      b = args[1];
    }
    return a + b
}

but this way you lose the semantics of the individual arguments, or

have a method overloaded which relays the call to the parametered version

public int something() {
  return something(1, 2);
}

or if the method is part of some kind of initialization procedure, you could use the builder pattern instead:

class FoodBuilder {
   int saltAmount;
   int meatAmount;
   FoodBuilder setSaltAmount(int saltAmount) {
       this.saltAmount = saltAmount;
       return this;
   }
   FoodBuilder setMeatAmount(int meatAmount) {
       this.meatAmount = meatAmount;
       return this;
   }
   Food build() {
       return new Food(saltAmount, meatAmount);
   }
}

Food f = new FoodBuilder().setSaltAmount(10).build();
Food f2 = new FoodBuilder().setSaltAmount(10).setMeatAmount(5).build();

Then work with the Food object

int doSomething(Food f) {
    return f.getSaltAmount() + f.getMeatAmount();
}

The builder pattern allows you to add/remove parameters later on and you don't need to create new overloaded methods for them.

Android MediaPlayer Stop and Play

just in case someone comes to this question, I have the easier version.

public static MediaPlayer mp;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        Button b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);


        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp = MediaPlayer.create(MainActivity.this, R.raw.game);
                mp.start();
            }
        });

        b2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mp.stop();
               // mp.start();
            }
        });
    }

Should I call Close() or Dispose() for stream objects?

This is an old question, but you can now write using statements without needing to block each one. They will be disposed of in reverse order when the containing block is finished.

using var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
using var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
using var writer = new StreamWriter(filename);

int chunkSize = 1024;
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
    char[] buffer = new char[chunkSize];
    int count = reader.Read(buffer, 0, chunkSize);
    if (count != 0)
    {
        writer.Write(buffer, 0, count);
    }
}

  • make sure all other committers updated from remote

Commands

git rm -f .idea/workspace.xml
git remote | xargs -L1 git push --all

Other committers should run

Run two async tasks in parallel and collect results in .NET 4.5

This article helped explain a lot of things. It's in FAQ style.

Async/Await FAQ

This part explains why Thread.Sleep runs on the same original thread - leading to my initial confusion.

Does the “async” keyword cause the invocation of a method to queue to the ThreadPool? To create a new thread? To launch a rocket ship to Mars?

No. No. And no. See the previous questions. The “async” keyword indicates to the compiler that “await” may be used inside of the method, such that the method may suspend at an await point and have its execution resumed asynchronously when the awaited instance completes. This is why the compiler issues a warning if there are no “awaits” inside of a method marked as “async”.

Best way to concatenate List of String objects?

A variation on codefin's answer

public static String concatStringsWSep(Iterable<String> strings, String separator) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String sep = "";
    for(String s: strings) {
        sb.append(sep).append(s);
        sep = separator;
    }
    return sb.toString();                           
}

C++ Loop through Map

As @Vlad from Moscow says, Take into account that value_type for std::map is defined the following way:

typedef pair<const Key, T> value_type

This then means that if you wish to replace the keyword auto with a more explicit type specifier, then you could this;

for ( const pair<const string, int> &p : table ) {
   std::cout << p.first << '\t' << p.second << std::endl;
} 

Just for understanding what auto will translate to in this case.
