Xcode "Build and Archive" from command line

We developed an iPad app with XCode 4.2.1 and wanted to integrate the build into our continuous integration (Jenkins) for OTA distribution. Here's the solution I came up with:

# Unlock keychain
security unlock-keychain -p jenkins /Users/jenkins/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

# Build and sign app
xcodebuild -configuration Distribution clean build

# Set variables
APP_PATH="$PWD/build/Distribution-iphoneos/iPadApp.app"
VERSION=`defaults read $APP_PATH/Info CFBundleShortVersionString`
REVISION=`defaults read $APP_PATH/Info CFBundleVersion`
DATE=`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"`
ITUNES_LINK="<a href=\"itms-services:\/\/?action=download-manifest\&url=https:\/\/xxx.xxx.xxx\/iPadApp-$VERSION.$REVISION-$DATE.plist\">Download iPad2-App v$VERSION.$REVISION-$DATE<\/a>"

# Package and verify app
xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v build/Distribution-iphoneos/iPadApp.app -o $PWD/iPadApp-$VERSION.$REVISION-$DATE.ipa

# Create plist
cat iPadApp.plist.template | sed -e "s/\${VERSION}/$VERSION/" -e "s/\${DATE}/$DATE/" -e "s/\${REVISION}/$REVISION/" > iPadApp-$VERSION.$REVISION-$DATE.plist

# Update index.html
curl https://xxx.xxx.xxx/index.html -o index.html.$DATE
cat index.html.$DATE | sed -n '1h;1!H;${;g;s/\(<h3>Aktuelle Version<\/h3>\)\(.*\)\(<h3>&Auml;ltere Versionen<\/h3>.<ul>.<li>\)/\1\
${ITUNES_LINK}\
\3\2<\/li>\
<li>/g;p;}' | sed -e "s/\${ITUNES_LINK}/$ITUNES_LINK/" > index.html

Then Jenkins uploads the ipa, plist and html files to our webserver.

This is the plist template:

To set this up, you have to import the distribution certificate and provisioning profile into the designated user's keychain.

Using ChildActionOnly in MVC

    public class HomeController : Controller  
    {  
        public ActionResult Index()  
        {  
            ViewBag.TempValue = "Index Action called at HomeController";  
            return View();  
        }  

        [ChildActionOnly]  
        public ActionResult ChildAction(string param)  
        {  
            ViewBag.Message = "Child Action called. " + param;  
            return View();  
        }  
    }  


The code is initially invoking an Index action that in turn returns two Index views and at the View level it calls the ChildAction named “ChildAction”.

    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Index";    
    }    
    <h2>    
        Index    
    </h2>  

    <!DOCTYPE html>    
    <html>    
    <head>    
        <title>Error</title>    
    </head>    
    <body>    
        <ul>  
            <li>    
                @ViewBag.TempValue    
            </li>    
            <li>@ViewBag.OnExceptionError</li>    
            @*<li>@{Html.RenderAction("ChildAction", new { param = "first" });}</li>@**@    
            @Html.Action("ChildAction", "Home", new { param = "first" })    
        </ul>    
    </body>    
    </html>

Maximum call stack size exceeded on npm install

I also had the same problem. I had tried the previous solutions, but the solution for me was much simpler. I only had to remove the space in the directory and then run npm i again

Thanks to: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/809#issuecomment-155019383 for pointing this out.

How to fix Python Numpy/Pandas installation?

Don't know if you solved the problem but if anyone has this problem in future.

$python
>>import numpy
>>print(numpy)

Go to the location printed and delete the numpy installation found there. You can then use pip or easy_install

iOS - Ensure execution on main thread

i think this is cool, even tho in general its good form to leave the caller of a method responsible for ensuring its called on the right thread.

if (![[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread]) {
    [self performSelector:_cmd onThread:[NSThread mainThread] withObject:someObject waitUntilDone:NO];
    return;
}

Node.js for() loop returning the same values at each loop

I would suggest doing this in a more functional style :P

  var htmlMessageboardString = BoardMessages
   .map(function(BoardMessage) {
     return MessageToHTMLString(BoardMessage);
   })
   .join('');
}

How to compare variables to undefined, if I don’t know whether they exist?

if (obj === undefined)
{
    // Create obj
}

If you are doing extensive javascript programming you should get in the habit of using === and !== when you want to make a type specific check.

Also if you are going to be doing a fair amount of javascript, I suggest running code through JSLint http://www.jslint.com it might seem a bit draconian at first, but most of the things JSLint warns you about will eventually come back to bite you.

How to check if a MySQL query using the legacy API was successful?

This is the first example in the manual page for mysql_query:

$result = mysql_query('SELECT * WHERE 1=1');
if (!$result) {
    die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

If you wish to use something other than die, then I'd suggest trigger_error.

C++ terminate called without an active exception

When a thread object goes out of scope and it is in joinable state, the program is terminated. The Standard Committee had two other options for the destructor of a joinable thread. It could quietly join -- but join might never return if the thread is stuck. Or it could detach the thread (a detached thread is not joinable). However, detached threads are very tricky, since they might survive till the end of the program and mess up the release of resources. So if you don't want to terminate your program, make sure you join (or detach) every thread.

intellij idea - Error: java: invalid source release 1.9

Select the project, then File > ProjectStructure > ProjectSettings > Modules -> sources You probably have the Language Level set at 9:

Just change it to 8 (or whatever you need) and you're set to go.

Also, check the same Language Level settings mentioned above, under Project Settings > Project

How to have a drop down <select> field in a rails form?

You can take a look at the Rails documentation . Anyways , in your form :

  <%= f.collection_select :provider_id, Provider.order(:name),:id,:name, include_blank: true %>

As you can guess , you should predefine email-providers in another model -Provider , to have where to select them from .

How to validate an email address in JavaScript

If you define your regular expression as a string then all backslashes need to be escaped, so instead of '\w' you should have '\w'.

Alternatively, define it as a regular expression:

var pattern = /^\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/;

How to check string length and then select substring in Sql Server

To conditionally check the length of the string, use CASE.

SELECT  CASE WHEN LEN(comments) <= 60 
             THEN comments
             ELSE LEFT(comments, 60) + '...'
        END  As Comments

For vs. while in C programming?

For loops (at least considering C99) are superior to while loops because they limit the scope of the incremented variable(s).

Do while loops are useful when the condition is dependant on some inputs. They are the most seldom used of the three loop types.

XMLHttpRequest Origin null is not allowed Access-Control-Allow-Origin for file:/// to file:/// (Serverless)

Launch chrome like so to bypass this restriction: open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" --args --allow-file-access-from-files.

Derived from Josh Lee's comment but I needed to specify the full path to Google Chrome so as to avoid having Google Chrome opening from my Windows partition (in Parallels).

How to get a index value from foreach loop in jstl

I face Similar problem now I understand we have some more option : varStatus="loop", Here will be loop will variable which will hold the index of lop.

It can use for use to read for Zeor base index or 1 one base index.

${loop.count}` it will give 1 starting base index.

${loop.index} it will give 0 base index as normal Index of array start from 0.

For Example :

<c:forEach var="currentImage" items="${cityBannerImages}" varStatus="loop">
<picture>
   <source srcset="${currentImage}" media="(min-width: 1000px)"></source>
   <source srcset="${cityMobileImages[loop.count]}" media="(min-width:600px)"></source>
   <img srcset="${cityMobileImages[loop.count]}" alt=""></img>
</picture>
</c:forEach>

How can I know if a process is running?

It depends on how reliable you want this function to be. If you want to know if the particular process instance you have is still running and available with 100% accuracy then you are out of luck. The reason being that from the managed process object there are only 2 ways to identify the process.

The first is the Process Id. Unfortunately, process ids are not unique and can be recycled. Searching the process list for a matching Id will only tell you that there is a process with the same id running, but it's not necessarily your process.

The second item is the Process Handle. It has the same problem though as the Id and it's more awkward to work with.

If you're looking for medium level reliability then checking the current process list for a process of the same ID is sufficient.

bootstrap 3 - how do I place the brand in the center of the navbar?

To fix the overlap, you only need modify the .navbar-toggle in your own css styles

something like this, it works for me:

.navbar-toggle{

}

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute

Variables names are only locally meaningful.

Once you hit

return s1,s2,s3,s4

at the end of the method, Python constructs a tuple with the values of s1, s2, s3 and s4 as its four members at index 0, 1, 2 and 3 - NOT a dictionary of variable names to values, NOT an object with variable names and their values, etc.

If you want the variable names to be meaningful after you hit return in the method, you must create an object or dictionary.

Pretty Printing a pandas dataframe

I've just found a great tool for that need, it is called tabulate.

It prints tabular data and works with DataFrame.

from tabulate import tabulate
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'col_two' : [0.0001, 1e-005 , 1e-006, 1e-007],
                   'column_3' : ['ABCD', 'ABCD', 'long string', 'ABCD']})
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql'))

+----+-----------+-------------+
|    |   col_two | column_3    |
|----+-----------+-------------|
|  0 |    0.0001 | ABCD        |
|  1 |    1e-05  | ABCD        |
|  2 |    1e-06  | long string |
|  3 |    1e-07  | ABCD        |
+----+-----------+-------------+

Note:

To suppress row indices for all types of data, pass showindex="never" or showindex=False.

Difference between .dll and .exe?

Dll v/s Exe

1)DLL file is a dynamic link library which can be used in exe files and other dll files.
EXE file is a executable file which runs in a separate process which is managed by OS.

2)DLLs are not directly executable . They are separate files containing functions that can be called by programs and other DLLs to perform computations and functions.
An EXE is a program that can be executed . Ex :Windows program

3)Reusability
DLL: They can be reused for some other application. As long as the coder knows the names and parameters of the functions and procedures in the DLL file .
EXE: Only for specific purpose .

4)A DLL would share the same process and memory space of the calling application while an
EXE creates its separate process and memory space.

5)Uses
DLL: You want many applications to use it but you don't want to give them the source code You can't copy-paste the code for the button in every program, so you decide you want to create a DL-Library (DLL).

EXE: When we work with project templates like Windows Forms Applications, Console Applications, WPF Applications and Windows Services they generate an exe assembly when compiled.

6)Similarities :
Both DLL and EXE are binary files have a complex nested structure defined by the Portable Executable format, and they are not intended to be editable by users.

How to enable TLS 1.2 support in an Android application (running on Android 4.1 JB)

I solved this issue following the indication provided in the article http://blog.dev-area.net/2015/08/13/android-4-1-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2/ with little changes.

SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
context.init(null, null, null);
SSLSocketFactory noSSLv3Factory = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
    noSSLv3Factory = new TLSSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());
} else {
    noSSLv3Factory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
}
connection.setSSLSocketFactory(noSSLv3Factory);

This is the code of the custom TLSSocketFactory:

public static class TLSSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {

    private SSLSocketFactory internalSSLSocketFactory;

    public TLSSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory delegate) throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {
        internalSSLSocketFactory = delegate;
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getDefaultCipherSuites() {
        return internalSSLSocketFactory.getDefaultCipherSuites();
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getSupportedCipherSuites() {
        return internalSSLSocketFactory.getSupportedCipherSuites();
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(s, host, port, autoClose));
    }

    @Override

    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(InetAddress host, int port) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(host, port));
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(address, port, localAddress, localPort));
    }

    /*
     * Utility methods
     */

    private static Socket enableTLSOnSocket(Socket socket) {
        if (socket != null && (socket instanceof SSLSocket)
                && isTLSServerEnabled((SSLSocket) socket)) { // skip the fix if server doesn't provide there TLS version
            ((SSLSocket) socket).setEnabledProtocols(new String[]{TLS_v1_1, TLS_v1_2});
        }
        return socket;
    }

    private static boolean isTLSServerEnabled(SSLSocket sslSocket) {
        System.out.println("__prova__ :: " + sslSocket.getSupportedProtocols().toString());
        for (String protocol : sslSocket.getSupportedProtocols()) {
            if (protocol.equals(TLS_v1_1) || protocol.equals(TLS_v1_2)) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

        private val internalSSLSocketFactory: SSLSocketFactory

This is fairly self-evident, in that if you leave height as auto, the block will take the height of its content... but if the content itself has a height expressed in terms of percentage of the parent you've made yourself a little Catch 22. The browser gives up and just uses the content height.

So the parent of the div must have an explicit height property. Whilst that height can also be a percentage if you want, that just moves the problem up to the next level.

If you want to make the div height a percentage of the viewport height, every ancestor of the div, including <html> and <body>, have to have height: 100%, so there is a chain of explicit percentage heights down to the div.

(*: or, if the div is positioned, the ‘containing block’, which is the nearest ancestor to also be positioned.)

Alternatively, all modern browsers and IE>=9 support new CSS units relative to viewport height (vh) and viewport width (vw):

div {
    height:100vh; 
}

Error: the entity type requires a primary key

The entity type 'DisplayFormatAttribute' requires a primary key to be defined.

In my case I figured out the problem was that I used properties like this:

public string LastName { get; set; }  //OK
public string Address { get; set; }   //OK 
public string State { get; set; }     //OK
public int? Zip { get; set; }         //OK
public EmailAddressAttribute Email { get; set; } // NOT OK
public PhoneAttribute PhoneNumber { get; set; }  // NOT OK

Not sure if there is a better way to solve it but I changed the Email and PhoneNumber attribute to a string. Problem solved.

Detecting when a div's height changes using jQuery

I wrote a plugin sometime back for attrchange listener which basically adds a listener function on attribute change. Even though I say it as a plugin, actually it is a simple function written as a jQuery plugin.. so if you want.. strip off the plugin specfic code and use the core functions.

Note: This code doesn't use polling

check out this simple demo http://jsfiddle.net/aD49d/

$(function () {
    var prevHeight = $('#test').height();
    $('#test').attrchange({
        callback: function (e) {
            var curHeight = $(this).height();            
            if (prevHeight !== curHeight) {
               $('#logger').text('height changed from ' + prevHeight + ' to ' + curHeight);

                prevHeight = curHeight;
            }            
        }
    }).resizable();
});

navbar color in Twitter Bootstrap

An excellent resource to see how to theme bootstrap is: bootswatch.com. It has nice examples and shows code as well. In short, they use lessc to recompile the bootstrap.css to your new color-theme.css. The nice thing of their approach is that is build on top of bootstrap, so when bootstrap is updated, you just recompile.

How to set the background image of a html 5 canvas to .png image

You can draw the image on the canvas and let the user draw on top of that.

How can I show data using a modal when clicking a table row (using bootstrap)?

The solution from PSL will not work in Firefox. FF accepts event only as a formal parameter. So you have to find another way to identify the selected row. My solution is something like this:

...
$('#mySelector')
  .on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
  var mid;


  if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') > -1) 
    mid = $(e.relatedTarget).data('id');
  else
    mid = $(event.target).closest('tr').data('id');

PowerShell Connect to FTP server and get files

Invoke-WebRequest can download HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP links.

$source = 'ftp://Blah.com/somefile.txt'
$target = 'C:\Users\someuser\Desktop\BlahFiles\somefile.txt'
$password = Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'mypassword' -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList myuserid, $password

# Download
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $source -OutFile $target -Credential $credential -UseBasicParsing

Since the cmdlet uses IE parsing you may need the -UseBasicParsing switch. Test to make sure.

How do you use a variable in a regular expression?

Instead of using the /regex/g syntax, you can construct a new RegExp object:

var replace = "regex";
var re = new RegExp(replace,"g");

You can dynamically create regex objects this way. Then you will do:

"mystring".replace(re, "newstring");

Sort CSV file by column priority using the "sort" command

Is #pragma once a safe include guard?

If we use msvc or Qt (up to Qt 4.5), since GCC(up to 3.4) , msvc both support #pragma once, I can see no reason for not using #pragma once.

Source file name usually same equal class name, and we know, sometime we need refactor, to rename class name, then we had to change the #include XXXX also, so I think manual maintain the #include xxxxx is not a smart work. even with Visual Assist X extension, maintain the "xxxx" is not a necessary work.

What is a NoReverseMatch error, and how do I fix it?

It may be that it's not loading the template you expect. I added a new class that inherited from UpdateView - I thought it would automatically pick the template from what I named my class, but it actually loaded it based on the model property on the class, which resulted in another (wrong) template being loaded. Once I explicitly set template_name for the new class, it worked fine.

How can I make my flexbox layout take 100% vertical space?

Let me show you another way that works 100%. I will also add some padding for the example.

<div class = "container">
  <div class = "flex-pad-x">
    <div class = "flex-pad-y">
      <div class = "flex-pad-y">
        <div class = "flex-grow-y">
         Content Centered
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

.container {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  bottom: 0px;
  right: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

  .flex-pad-x {
    padding: 0px 20px;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
  }

  .flex-pad-y {
    padding: 20px 0px;
    width: 100%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
  }

  .flex-grow-y {
    flex-grow: 1;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    flex-direction: column;
   }

As you can see we can achieve this with a few wrappers for control while utilising the flex-grow & flex-direction attribute.

1: When the parent "flex-direction" is a "row", its child "flex-grow" works horizontally. 2: When the parent "flex-direction" is "columns", its child "flex-grow" works vertically.

Hope this helps

redirect COPY of stdout to log file from within bash script itself

Can't say I'm comfortable with any of the solutions based on exec. I prefer to use tee directly, so I make the script call itself with tee when requested:

# my script: 

check_tee_output()
{
    # copy (append) stdout and stderr to log file if TEE is unset or true
    if [[ -z $TEE || "$TEE" == true ]]; then 
        echo '-------------------------------------------' >> log.txt
        echo '***' $(date) $0 $@ >> log.txt
        TEE=false $0 $@ 2>&1 | tee --append log.txt
        exit $?
    fi 
}

check_tee_output $@

rest of my script

This allows you to do this:

your_script.sh args           # tee 
TEE=true your_script.sh args  # tee 
TEE=false your_script.sh args # don't tee
export TEE=false
your_script.sh args           # tee

You can customize this, e.g. make tee=false the default instead, make TEE hold the log file instead, etc. I guess this solution is similar to jbarlow's, but simpler, maybe mine has limitations that I have not come across yet.

ResultSet exception - before start of result set

You have to do a result.next() before you can access the result. It's a very common idiom to do

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
while (rs.next())
{
   int foo = rs.getInt(1);
   ...
}

How to create a GUID/UUID in Python

2019 Answer (for Windows):

If you want a permanent UUID that identifies a machine uniquely on Windows, you can use this trick: (Copied from my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/58416992/8874388).

from typing import Optional
import re
import subprocess
import uuid

def get_windows_uuid() -> Optional[uuid.UUID]:
    try:
        # Ask Windows for the device's permanent UUID. Throws if command missing/fails.
        txt = subprocess.check_output("wmic csproduct get uuid").decode()

        # Attempt to extract the UUID from the command's result.
        match = re.search(r"\bUUID\b[\s\r\n]+([^\s\r\n]+)", txt)
        if match is not None:
            txt = match.group(1)
            if txt is not None:
                # Remove the surrounding whitespace (newlines, space, etc)
                # and useless dashes etc, by only keeping hex (0-9 A-F) chars.
                txt = re.sub(r"[^0-9A-Fa-f]+", "", txt)

                # Ensure we have exactly 32 characters (16 bytes).
                if len(txt) == 32:
                    return uuid.UUID(txt)
    except:
        pass # Silence subprocess exception.

    return None

print(get_windows_uuid())

Uses Windows API to get the computer's permanent UUID, then processes the string to ensure it's a valid UUID, and lastly returns a Python object (https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html) which gives you convenient ways to use the data (such as 128-bit integer, hex string, etc).

Good luck!

PS: The subprocess call could probably be replaced with ctypes directly calling Windows kernel/DLLs. But for my purposes this function is all I need. It does strong validation and produces correct results.

iOS start Background Thread

The default sqlite library that comes with iOS is not compiled using the SQLITE_THREADSAFE macro on. This could be a reason why your code crashes.

Print a list of space-separated elements in Python 3

Although the accepted answer is absolutely clear, I just wanted to check efficiency in terms of time.

The best way is to print joined string of numbers converted to strings.

print(" ".join(list(map(str,l))))

Note that I used map instead of loop. I wrote a little code of all 4 different ways to compare time:

import time as t

a, b = 10, 210000
l = list(range(a, b))
tic = t.time()
for i in l:
    print(i, end=" ")

print()
tac = t.time()
t1 = (tac - tic) * 1000
print(*l)
toe = t.time()
t2 = (toe - tac) * 1000
print(" ".join([str(i) for i in l]))
joe = t.time()
t3 = (joe - toe) * 1000
print(" ".join(list(map(str, l))))
toy = t.time()
t4 = (toy - joe) * 1000
print("Time",t1,t2,t3,t4)

Result:

Time 74344.76 71790.83 196.99 153.99

The output was quite surprising to me. Huge difference of time in cases of 'loop method' and 'joined-string method'.

Conclusion: Do not use loops for printing list if size is too large( in order of 10**5 or more).

How to merge multiple dicts with same key or different key?

Assume that you have the list of ALL keys (you can get this list by iterating through all dictionaries and get their keys). Let's name it listKeys. Also:

listValues is the list of ALL values for a single key that you want to merge.
allDicts: all dictionaries that you want to merge.

result = {}
for k in listKeys:
    listValues = [] #we will convert it to tuple later, if you want.
    for d in allDicts:
       try:
            fileList.append(d[k]) #try to append more values to a single key
        except:
            pass
    if listValues: #if it is not empty
        result[k] = typle(listValues) #convert to tuple, add to new dictionary with key k

Android : How to read file in bytes?

Here is a solution that guarantees entire file will be read, that requires no libraries and is efficient:

byte[] fullyReadFileToBytes(File f) throws IOException {
    int size = (int) f.length();
    byte bytes[] = new byte[size];
    byte tmpBuff[] = new byte[size];
    FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream(f);;
    try {

        int read = fis.read(bytes, 0, size);
        if (read < size) {
            int remain = size - read;
            while (remain > 0) {
                read = fis.read(tmpBuff, 0, remain);
                System.arraycopy(tmpBuff, 0, bytes, size - remain, read);
                remain -= read;
            }
        }
    }  catch (IOException e){
        throw e;
    } finally {
        fis.close();
    }

    return bytes;
}

NOTE: it assumes file size is less than MAX_INT bytes, you can add handling for that if you want.

Is it not possible to stringify an Error using JSON.stringify?

We needed to serialise an arbitrary object hierarchy, where the root or any of the nested properties in the hierarchy could be instances of Error.

Our solution was to use the replacer param of JSON.stringify(), e.g.:

_x000D_

function jsonFriendlyErrorReplacer(key, value) {_x000D_
  if (value instanceof Error) {_x000D_
    return {_x000D_
      // Pull all enumerable properties, supporting properties on custom Errors_x000D_
      ...value,_x000D_
      // Explicitly pull Error's non-enumerable properties_x000D_
      name: value.name,_x000D_
      message: value.message,_x000D_
      stack: value.stack,_x000D_
    }_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  return value_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
let obj = {_x000D_
    error: new Error('nested error message')_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log('Result WITHOUT custom replacer:', JSON.stringify(obj))_x000D_
console.log('Result WITH custom replacer:', JSON.stringify(obj, jsonFriendlyErrorReplacer))

_x000D_

Accessing post variables using Java Servlets

Here's a simple example. I didn't get fancy with the html or the servlet, but you should get the idea.

I hope this helps you out.

<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/myServlet">
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now for the Servlet

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
  public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                    HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {

    String userName = request.getParameter("username");
    String password = request.getParameter("password");
    ....
    ....
  }
}

Constructors in JavaScript objects

I guess I'll post what I do with javascript closure since no one is using closure yet.

var user = function(id) {
  // private properties & methods goes here.
  var someValue;
  function doSomething(data) {
    someValue = data;
  };

  // constructor goes here.
  if (!id) return null;

  // public properties & methods goes here.
  return {
    id: id,
    method: function(params) {
      doSomething(params);
    }
  };
};

Comments and suggestions to this solution are welcome. :)

excel - if cell is not blank, then do IF statement

You need to use AND statement in your formula

=IF(AND(IF(NOT(ISBLANK(Q2));TRUE;FALSE);Q2<=R2);"1";"0")

And if both conditions are met, return 1.

You could also add more conditions in your AND statement.

How do you add swap to an EC2 instance?

A fix for this problem is to add swap (i.e. paging) space to the instance.

Paging works by creating an area on your hard drive and using it for extra memory, this memory is much slower than normal memory however much more of it is available.

To add this extra space to your instance you type:

sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1

If you need more than 1024 then change that to something higher.

To enable it by default after reboot, add this line to /etc/fstab:

/var/swap.1   swap    swap    defaults        0   0

Count number of times value appears in particular column in MySQL

Take a look at the Group by function.

What the group by function does is pretuty much grouping the similar value for a given field. You can then show the number of number of time that this value was groupped using the COUNT function.

MySQL Documentation

You can also use the group by function with a good number of other function define by MySQL (see the above link).

mysql> SELECT student_name, AVG(test_score)
    ->        FROM student
    ->        GROUP BY student_name;

NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS

Actually, I believe this would be the fastest:

SELECT ProductID, ProductName 
    FROM Northwind..Products p  
          outer join Northwind..[Order Details] od on p.ProductId = od.ProductId)
WHERE od.ProductId is null

Count all occurrences of a string in lots of files with grep

Update Item to Revision vs Revert to Revision

The text from the Tortoise reference:

Update item to revision Update your working copy to the selected revision. Useful if you want to have your working copy reflect a time in the past, or if there have been further commits to the repository and you want to update your working copy one step at a time. It is best to update a whole directory in your working copy, not just one file, otherwise your working copy could be inconsistent.

If you want to undo an earlier change permanently, use Revert to this revision instead.

Revert to this revision Revert to an earlier revision. If you have made several changes, and then decide that you really want to go back to how things were in revision N, this is the command you need. The changes are undone in your working copy so this operation does not affect the repository until you commit the changes. Note that this will undo all changes made after the selected revision, replacing the file/folder with the earlier version.

If your working copy is in an unmodified state, after you perform this action your working copy will show as modified. If you already have local changes, this command will merge the undo changes into your working copy.

What is happening internally is that Subversion performs a reverse merge of all the changes made after the selected revision, undoing the effect of those previous commits.

If after performing this action you decide that you want to undo the undo and get your working copy back to its previous unmodified state, you should use TortoiseSVN ? Revert from within Windows Explorer, which will discard the local modifications made by this reverse merge action.

If you simply want to see what a file or folder looked like at an earlier revision, use Update to revision or Save revision as... instead.

Difference between javacore, thread dump and heap dump in Websphere

A thread dump is a dump of the stacks of all live threads. Thus useful for analysing what an app is up to at some point in time, and if done at intervals handy in diagnosing some kinds of 'execution' problems (e.g. thread deadlock).

A heap dump is a dump of the state of the Java heap memory. Thus useful for analysing what use of memory an app is making at some point in time so handy in diagnosing some memory issues, and if done at intervals handy in diagnosing memory leaks.

This is what they are in 'raw' terms, and could be provided in many ways. In general used to describe dumped files from JVMs and app servers, and in this form they are a low level tool. Useful if for some reason you can't get anything else, but you will find life easier using decent profiling tool to get similar but easier to dissect info.

With respect to WebSphere a javacore file is a thread dump, albeit with a lot of other info such as locks and loaded classes and some limited memory usage info, and a PHD file is a heap dump.

If you want to read a javacore file you can do so by hand, but there is an IBM tool (BM Thread and Monitor Dump Analyzer) which makes it simpler. If you want to read a heap dump file you need one of many IBM tools: MDD4J or Heap Analyzer.

Why does cURL return error "(23) Failed writing body"?

For completeness and future searches:

It's a matter of how cURL manages the buffer, the buffer disables the output stream with the -N option.

Split a String into an array in Swift?

Here is an algorithm I just build, which will split a String by any Character from the array and if there is any desire to keep the substrings with splitted characters one could set the swallow parameter to true.

Xcode 7.3 - Swift 2.2:

extension String {

    func splitBy(characters: [Character], swallow: Bool = false) -> [String] {

        var substring = ""
        var array = [String]()
        var index = 0

        for character in self.characters {

            if let lastCharacter = substring.characters.last {

                // swallow same characters
                if lastCharacter == character {

                    substring.append(character)

                } else {

                    var shouldSplit = false

                    // check if we need to split already
                    for splitCharacter in characters {
                        // slit if the last character is from split characters or the current one
                        if character == splitCharacter || lastCharacter == splitCharacter {

                            shouldSplit = true
                            break
                        }
                    }

                    if shouldSplit {

                        array.append(substring)
                        substring = String(character)

                    } else /* swallow characters that do not equal any of the split characters */ {

                        substring.append(character)
                    }
                }
            } else /* should be the first iteration */ {

                substring.append(character)
            }

            index += 1

            // add last substring to the array
            if index == self.characters.count {

                array.append(substring)
            }
        }

        return array.filter {

            if swallow {

                return true

            } else {

                for splitCharacter in characters {

                    if $0.characters.contains(splitCharacter) {

                        return false
                    }
                }
                return true
            }
        }
    }
}

Example:

"test text".splitBy([" "]) // ["test", "text"]
"test++text--".splitBy(["+", "-"], swallow: true) // ["test", "++" "text", "--"]

In-place edits with sed on OS X

You can use -i'' (--in-place) for sed as already suggested. See: The -i in-place argument, however note that -i option is non-standard FreeBSD extensions and may not be available on other operating systems. Secondly sed is a Stream EDitor, not a file editor.

Alternative way is to use built-in substitution in Vim Ex mode, like:

$ ex +%s/foo/bar/g -scwq file.txt

and for multiple-files:

$ ex +'bufdo!%s/foo/bar/g' -scxa *.*

^{To edit all files recursively you can use **/*.* if shell supports that (enable by shopt -s globstar).}

Another way is to use gawk and its new "inplace" extension such as:

$ gawk -i inplace '{ gsub(/foo/, "bar") }; { print }' file1

How to find char in string and get all the indexes?

def find_offsets(haystack, needle):
    """
    Find the start of all (possibly-overlapping) instances of needle in haystack

How do I escape a single quote ( ' ) in JavaScript?

The answer here is very simple:

You're already containing it in double quotes, so there's no need to escape it with \.

If you want to escape single quotes in a single quote string:

var string = 'this isn\'t a double quoted string';
var string = "this isn\"t a single quoted string";
//           ^         ^ same types, hence we need to escape it with a backslash

or if you want to escape \', you can escape the bashslash to \\ and the quote to \' like so:

var string = 'this isn\\\'t a double quoted string';
//                    vvvv
//                     \ ' (the escaped characters)

However, if you contain the string with a different quote type, you don't need to escape:

var string = 'this isn"t a double quoted string';
var string = "this isn't a single quoted string";
//           ^        ^ different types, hence we don't need escaping

C# Break out of foreach loop after X number of items

Just use break, like that:

int cont = 0;
foreach (ListViewItem lvi in listView.Items) {
   if(cont==50) { //if listViewItem reach 50 break out.
      break; 
   }
   cont++;   //increment cont.
}

How do I load external fonts into an HTML document?

Take a look at this A List Apart article. The pertinent CSS is:

@font-face {
  font-family: "Kimberley";
  src: url(http://www.princexml.com/fonts/larabie/kimberle.ttf) format("truetype");
}
h1 { font-family: "Kimberley", sans-serif }

The above will work in Chrome/Safari/FireFox. As Paul D. Waite pointed out in the comments you can get it to work with IE if you convert the font to the EOT format.

The good news is that this seems to degrade gracefully in older browsers, so as long as you're aware and comfortable with the fact that not all users will see the same font, it's safe to use.

Importing xsd into wsdl

import vs. include

The primary purpose of an import is to import a namespace. A more common use of the XSD import statement is to import a namespace which appears in another file. You might be gathering the namespace information from the file, but don't forget that it's the namespace that you're importing, not the file (don't confuse an import statement with an include statement).

Another area of confusion is how to specify the location or path of the included .xsd file: An XSD import statement has an optional attribute named schemaLocation but it is not necessary if the namespace of the import statement is at the same location (in the same file) as the import statement itself.

When you do chose to use an external .xsd file for your WSDL, the schemaLocation attribute becomes necessary. Be very sure that the namespace you use in the import statement is the same as the targetNamespace of the schema you are importing. That is, all 3 occurrences must be identical:

WSDL:

xs:import namespace="urn:listing3" schemaLocation="listing3.xsd"/>

XSD:

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:listing3"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Another approach to letting know the WSDL about the XSD is through Maven's pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>xmlbeans-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate-sources-xmlbeans</id>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <goals>
    <goal>xmlbeans</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <version>2.3.3</version>
  <inherited>true</inherited>
  <configuration>
    <schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/xsd</schemaDirectory>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

You can read more on this in this great IBM article. It has typos such as xsd:import instead of xs:import but otherwise it's fine.

Access IP Camera in Python OpenCV

The easiest way to stream video via IP Camera !

I just edit your example. You must replace your IP and add /video on your link. And go ahead with your project

import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('http://192.168.18.37:8090/video')

while(True):
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        cv2.destroyAllWindows()
        break

How do I check which version of NumPy I'm using?

You can get numpy version using Terminal or a Python code.

In a Terminal (bash) using Ubuntu:

pip list | grep numpy

In python 3.6.7, this code shows the numpy version:

import numpy
print (numpy.version.version)

If you insert this code in the file shownumpy.py, you can compile it:

python shownumpy.py

python3 shownumpy.py

I've got this output:

1.16.1

Merging Cells in Excel using C#

You can use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel:

worksheet.Range[worksheet.Cells[rowNum, columnNum], worksheet.Cells[rowNum, columnNum]].Merge();

You can also use NPOI:

var cellsTomerge = new NPOI.SS.Util.CellRangeAddress(firstrow, lastrow, firstcol, lastcol);
_sheet.AddMergedRegion(cellsTomerge);

How to style child components from parent component's CSS file?

Had same issue, so if you're using angular2-cli with scss/sass use '/deep/' instead of '>>>', last selector isn't supported yet (but works great with css).

What does "to stub" mean in programming?

RPC Stubs

Basically, a client-side stub is a procedure that looks to the client as if it were a callable server procedure.
A server-side stub looks to the server as if it's a calling client.
The client program thinks it is calling the server; in fact, it's calling the client stub.
The server program thinks it's called by the client; in fact, it's called by the server stub.
The stubs send messages to each other to make the RPC happen.

Replace a newline in TSQL

If your column data type is 'text' then you will get an error message as

Msg 8116, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace function.

In this case you need to cast the text as nvarchar and then replace

SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(cast(@str as nvarchar(max)), CHAR(13), ''), CHAR(10), '')

Copy a file in a sane, safe and efficient way

For those who like boost:

boost::filesystem::path mySourcePath("foo.bar");
boost::filesystem::path myTargetPath("bar.foo");

// Variant 1: Overwrite existing
boost::filesystem::copy_file(mySourcePath, myTargetPath, boost::filesystem::copy_option::overwrite_if_exists);

// Variant 2: Fail if exists
boost::filesystem::copy_file(mySourcePath, myTargetPath, boost::filesystem::copy_option::fail_if_exists);

Note that boost::filesystem::path is also available as wpath for Unicode. And that you could also use

using namespace boost::filesystem

if you do not like those long type names

How to install pywin32 module in windows 7

I disagree with the accepted answer being "the easiest", particularly if you want to use virtualenv.

You can use the Unofficial Windows Binaries instead. Download the appropriate wheel from there, and install it with pip:

pip install pywin32-219-cp27-none-win32.whl

(Make sure you pick the one for the right version and bitness of Python).

You might be able to get the URL and install it via pip without downloading it first, but they're made it a bit harder to just grab the URL. Probably better to download it and host it somewhere yourself.

Environ Function code samples for VBA

As alluded to by Eric, you can use environ with ComputerName argument like so:

MsgBox Environ("USERNAME")

Some additional information that might be helpful for you to know:

The arguments are not case sensitive.
There is a slightly faster performing string version of the Environ function. To invoke it, use a dollar sign. (Ex: Environ$("username")) This will net you a small performance gain.
You can retrieve all System Environment Variables using this function. (Not just username.) A common use is to get the "ComputerName" value to see which computer the user is logging onto from.
I don't recommend it for most situations, but it can be occasionally useful to know that you can also access the variables with an index. If you use this syntax the the name of argument and the value are returned. In this way you can enumerate all available variables. Valid values are 1 - 255.

    Sub EnumSEVars()
        Dim strVar As String
        Dim i As Long
        For i = 1 To 255
            strVar = Environ$(i)
            If LenB(strVar) = 0& Then Exit For
            Debug.Print strVar
        Next
    End Sub

Programmatically change input type of the EditText from PASSWORD to NORMAL & vice versa

Where is Maven Installed on Ubuntu

I would like to add that .m2 folder a lot of people say it is in your home folder. It is right. But if use maven from ready to go IDE like Spring STS then your .m2 folder is placed in root folder

To access root folder you need to switch to super user account

sudo su

Go to root folder

cd root/

You will find it by

cd -all

Getting URL parameter in java and extract a specific text from that URL

Assuming the URL syntax will always be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= ...

String v = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RCIP6OrQrE".substring(31);

or disregarding the prefix syntax:

String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RCIP6OrQrE";
String v = url.substring(url.indexOf("v=") + 2);

Pythonic way to add datetime.date and datetime.time objects

It's in the python docs.

datetime.datetime.combine(datetime.date(2011, 1, 1), 
                          datetime.time(10, 23))

returns

datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 1, 10, 23)

What is the difference between Dim, Global, Public, and Private as Modular Field Access Modifiers?

Dim and Private work the same, though the common convention is to use Private at the module level, and Dim at the Sub/Function level. Public and Global are nearly identical in their function, however Global can only be used in standard modules, whereas Public can be used in all contexts (modules, classes, controls, forms etc.) Global comes from older versions of VB and was likely kept for backwards compatibility, but has been wholly superseded by Public.

Way to get number of digits in an int?

Enter the number and create an Arraylist, and the while loop will record all the digits into the Arraylist. Then we can take out the size of array, which will be the length of the integer value you entered.

ArrayList<Integer> a=new ArrayList<>();

while(number > 0) 
{ 
    remainder = num % 10; 
    a.add(remainder);
    number = number / 10; 
} 

int m=a.size();

Difference between object and class in Scala

The formal difference -

you can not provide constructor parameters for Objects
Object is not a type - you may not create an instance with new operator. But it can have fields, methods, extend a superclass and mix in traits.

The difference in usage:

Scala doesn't have static methods or fields. Instead you should use object. You can use it with or without related class. In 1st case it's called a companion object. You have to:
1. use the same name for both class and object
2. put them in the same source file.

To create a program you should use main method in object, not in class.

object Hello {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    println("Hello, World!")
  }
}

You also may use it as you use singleton object in java.

Simple example for Intent and Bundle

Basically this is what you need to do:
in the first activity:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(tag, value);
startActivity(intent);

and in the second activtiy:

Intent intent = getIntent();
intent.getBooleanExtra(tag, defaultValue);
intent.getStringExtra(tag, defaultValue);
intent.getIntegerExtra(tag, defaultValue);

one of the get-functions will give return you the value, depending on the datatype you are passing through.

Check if bash variable equals 0

Double parenthesis (( ... )) is used for arithmetic operations.

Double square brackets [[ ... ]] can be used to compare and examine numbers (only integers are supported), with the following operators:

· NUM1 -eq NUM2 returns true if NUM1 and NUM2 are numerically equal.

· NUM1 -ne NUM2 returns true if NUM1 and NUM2 are not numerically equal.

· NUM1 -gt NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is greater than NUM2.

· NUM1 -ge NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is greater than or equal to NUM2.

· NUM1 -lt NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is less than NUM2.

· NUM1 -le NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is less than or equal to NUM2.

For example

if [[ $age > 21 ]] # bad, > is a string comparison operator

if [ $age > 21 ] # bad, > is a redirection operator

if [[ $age -gt 21 ]] # okay, but fails if $age is not numeric

if (( $age > 21 )) # best, $ on age is optional

How to add background image for input type="button"?

You need to type it without the word image.

background: url('/image/btn.png') no-repeat;

Tested both ways and this one works.

Example:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            .button{
                background: url(/image/btn.png) no-repeat;
                cursor:pointer;
                border: none;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="button" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
        <input type="image" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
        <input type="submit" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
    </body>
</html>

How should a model be structured in MVC?

In my case I have a database class that handle all the direct database interaction such as querying, fetching, and such. So if I had to change my database from MySQL to PostgreSQL there won't be any problem. So adding that extra layer can be useful.

Each table can have its own class and have its specific methods, but to actually get the data, it lets the database class handle it:

File `Database.php`

class Database {
    private static $connection;
    private static $current_query;
    ...

    public static function query($sql) {
        if (!self::$connection){
            self::open_connection();
        }
        self::$current_query = $sql;
        $result = mysql_query($sql,self::$connection);

        if (!$result){
            self::close_connection();
            // throw custom error
            // The query failed for some reason. here is query :: self::$current_query
            $error = new Error(2,"There is an Error in the query.\n<b>Query:</b>\n{$sql}\n");
            $error->handleError();
        }
        return $result;
    }
 ....

    public static function find_by_sql($sql){
        if (!is_string($sql))
            return false;

        $result_set = self::query($sql);
        $obj_arr = array();
        while ($row = self::fetch_array($result_set))
        {
            $obj_arr[] = self::instantiate($row);
        }
        return $obj_arr;
    }
}

Table object classL

class DomainPeer extends Database {

    public static function getDomainInfoList() {
        $sql = 'SELECT ';
        $sql .='d.`id`,';
        $sql .='d.`name`,';
        $sql .='d.`shortName`,';
        $sql .='d.`created_at`,';
        $sql .='d.`updated_at`,';
        $sql .='count(q.id) as queries ';
        $sql .='FROM `domains` d ';
        $sql .='LEFT JOIN queries q on q.domainId = d.id ';
        $sql .='GROUP BY d.id';
        return self::find_by_sql($sql);
    }

    ....
}

I hope this example helps you create a good structure.

How can I consume a WSDL (SOAP) web service in Python?

I recently stumbled up on the same problem. Here is the synopsis of my solution:

Basic constituent code blocks needed

The following are the required basic code blocks of your client application

Session request section: request a session with the provider
Session authentication section: provide credentials to the provider
Client section: create the Client
Security Header section: add the WS-Security Header to the Client
Consumption section: consume available operations (or methods) as needed

What modules do you need?

Many suggested to use Python modules such as urllib2 ; however, none of the modules work-at least for this particular project.

So, here is the list of the modules you need to get. First of all, you need to download and install the latest version of suds from the following link:

pypi.python.org/pypi/suds-jurko/0.4.1.jurko.2

Additionally, you need to download and install requests and suds_requests modules from the following links respectively ( disclaimer: I am new to post in here, so I can't post more than one link for now).

pypi.python.org/pypi/requests

pypi.python.org/pypi/suds_requests/0.1

Once you successfully download and install these modules, you are good to go.

The code

Following the steps outlined earlier, the code looks like the following: Imports:

import logging
from suds.client import Client
from suds.wsse import *
from datetime import timedelta,date,datetime,tzinfo
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import suds_requests

Session request and authentication:

username=input('Username:')
password=input('password:')
session = requests.session()
session.auth=(username, password)

Create the Client:

client = Client(WSDL_URL, faults=False, cachingpolicy=1, location=WSDL_URL, transport=suds_requests.RequestsTransport(session))

Add WS-Security Header:

...
addSecurityHeader(client,username,password)
....

def addSecurityHeader(client,username,password):
    security=Security()
    userNameToken=UsernameToken(username,password)
    timeStampToken=Timestamp(validity=600)
    security.tokens.append(userNameToken)
    security.tokens.append(timeStampToken)
    client.set_options(wsse=security)

Please note that this method creates the security header depicted in Fig.1. So, your implementation may vary depending on the correct security header format provided by the owner of the service you are consuming.

Consume the relevant method (or operation) :

result=client.service.methodName(Inputs)

Logging:

One of the best practices in such implementations as this one is logging to see how the communication is executed. In case there is some issue, it makes debugging easy. The following code does basic logging. However, you can log many aspects of the communication in addition to the ones depicted in the code.

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) 
logging.getLogger('suds.client').setLevel(logging.DEBUG) 
logging.getLogger('suds.transport').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

Result:

Here is the result in my case. Note that the server returned HTTP 200. This is the standard success code for HTTP request-response.

(200, (collectionNodeLmp){
   timestamp = 2014-12-03 00:00:00-05:00
   nodeLmp[] = 
      (nodeLmp){
         pnodeId = 35010357
         name = "YADKIN"
         mccValue = -0.19
         mlcValue = -0.13
         price = 36.46
         type = "500 KV"
         timestamp = 2014-12-03 01:00:00-05:00
         errorCodeId = 0
      },
      (nodeLmp){
         pnodeId = 33138769
         name = "ZION 1"
         mccValue = -0.18
         mlcValue = -1.86
         price = 34.75
         type = "Aggregate"
         timestamp = 2014-12-03 01:00:00-05:00
         errorCodeId = 0
      },
 })

Format datetime in asp.net mvc 4

Client validation issues can occur because of MVC bug (even in MVC 5) in jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js which does not accept date/datetime format in any way. Unfortunately you have to solve it manually.

My finally working solution:

$(function () {
    $.validator.methods.date = function (value, element) {
        return this.optional(element) || moment(value, "DD.MM.YYYY", true).isValid();
    }
});

You have to include before:

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery-3.1.1.js")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/moment.js")

You can install moment.js using:

Install-Package Moment.js

Need to find a max of three numbers in java

You should know more about java.lang.Math.max:

java.lang.Math.max(arg1,arg2) only accepts 2 arguments but you are writing 3 arguments in your code.
The 2 arguments should be double,int,long and float but your are writing String arguments in Math.max function. You need to parse them in the required type.

You code will produce compile time error because of above mismatches.

Try following updated code, that will solve your purpose:

import java.lang.Math;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class max {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

REST API error code 500 handling

You suggested "Catching any unexpected errors and return some error code signaling "unexpected situation" " but couldn't find an appropriate error code.

Guess what: That's what 5xx is there for.

Make Iframe to fit 100% of container's remaining height

I think the best way to achieve this scenario using css position. set position relative to your parent div and position:absolute to your iframe.

_x000D_

.container{_x000D_
  width:100%;_x000D_
  position:relative;_x000D_
  height:500px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
iframe{_x000D_
  position:absolute;_x000D_
  width:100%;_x000D_
  height:100%;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<div class="container">_x000D_
  <iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com">_x000D_
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>_x000D_

How to modify list entries during for loop?

One more for loop variant, looks cleaner to me than one with enumerate():

for idx in range(len(list)):
    list[idx]=... # set a new value
    # some other code which doesn't let you use a list comprehension

How to block until an event is fired in c#

A very easy kind of event you can wait for is the ManualResetEvent, and even better, the ManualResetEventSlim.

They have a WaitOne() method that does exactly that. You can wait forever, or set a timeout, or a "cancellation token" which is a way for you to decide to stop waiting for the event (if you want to cancel your work, or your app is asked to exit).

You fire them calling Set().

Here is the doc.

Java JTable getting the data of the selected row

You can use the following code to get the value of the first column of the selected row of your table.

int column = 0;
int row = table.getSelectedRow();
String value = table.getModel().getValueAt(row, column).toString();

How to write DataFrame to postgres table?

Starting from pandas 0.14 (released end of May 2014), postgresql is supported. The sql module now uses sqlalchemy to support different database flavors. You can pass a sqlalchemy engine for a postgresql database (see docs). E.g.:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/mydatabase')
df.to_sql('table_name', engine)

You are correct that in pandas up to version 0.13.1 postgresql was not supported. If you need to use an older version of pandas, here is a patched version of pandas.io.sql: https://gist.github.com/jorisvandenbossche/10841234.
I wrote this a time ago, so cannot fully guarantee that it always works, buth the basis should be there). If you put that file in your working directory and import it, then you should be able to do (where con is a postgresql connection):

import sql  # the patched version (file is named sql.py)
sql.write_frame(df, 'table_name', con, flavor='postgresql')

JComboBox Selection Change Listener?

Code example of ItemListener implementation

class ItemChangeListener implements ItemListener{
    @Override
    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) {
       if (event.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
          Object item = event.getItem();
          // do something with object
       }
    }       
}

Now we will get only selected item.

Then just add listener to your JComboBox

addItemListener(new ItemChangeListener());

Oracle client and networking components were not found

After you install Oracle Client components on the remote server, restart SQL Server Agent from the PC Management Console or directly from Sql Server Management Studio. This will allow the service to load correctly the path to the Oracle components. Otherwise your package will work on design time but fail on run time.

Add / remove input field dynamically with jQuery

Here is my JSFiddle with corrected line breaks, or see it below.

$(document).ready(function() {

var MaxInputs       = 2; //maximum extra input boxes allowed
var InputsWrapper   = $("#InputsWrapper"); //Input boxes wrapper ID
var AddButton       = $("#AddMoreFileBox"); //Add button ID

var x = InputsWrapper.length; //initlal text box count
var FieldCount=1; //to keep track of text box added

//on add input button click
$(AddButton).click(function (e) {
        //max input box allowed
        if(x <= MaxInputs) {
            FieldCount++; //text box added ncrement
            //add input box
            $(InputsWrapper).append('<div><input type="text" name="mytext[]" id="field_'+ FieldCount +'"/> <a href="#" class="removeclass">Remove</a></div>');
            x++; //text box increment

            $("#AddMoreFileId").show();

            $('AddMoreFileBox').html("Add field");

            // Delete the "add"-link if there is 3 fields.
            if(x == 3) {
                $("#AddMoreFileId").hide();
                $("#lineBreak").html("<br>");
            }
        }
        return false;
});

$("body").on("click",".removeclass", function(e){ //user click on remove text
        if( x > 1 ) {
                $(this).parent('div').remove(); //remove text box
                x--; //decrement textbox

                $("#AddMoreFileId").show();

                $("#lineBreak").html("");

                // Adds the "add" link again when a field is removed.
                $('AddMoreFileBox').html("Add field");
        }
    return false;
}) 

});

How to redirect to a 404 in Rails?

Raising ActionController::RoutingError('not found') has always felt a little bit strange to me - in the case of an unauthenticated user, this error does not reflect reality - the route was found, the user is just not authenticated.

I happened across config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses and I think in some cases this is a more elegant solution to the stated problem:

# application.rb
config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses = {
  'UnauthenticatedError' => :not_found
}

# my_controller.rb
before_action :verify_user_authentication

def verify_user_authentication
  raise UnauthenticatedError if !user_authenticated?
end

What's nice about this approach is:

It hooks into the existing error handling middleware like a normal ActionController::RoutingError, but you get a more meaningful error message in dev environments
It will correctly set the status to whatever you specify in the rescue_responses hash (in this case 404 - not_found)
You don't have to write a not_found method that needs to be available everywhere.

Java Long primitive type maximum limit

Long.MAX_VALUE is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

If you were executing your function once per nanosecond, it would still take over 292 years to encounter this situation according to this source.

When that happens, it'll just wrap around to Long.MIN_VALUE, or -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 as others have said.

Assign keyboard shortcut to run procedure

For assigning a keyboard key to button on the sheet you can use this code, just copy this code to the sheet which contain the button.

Here Return specifies the key and get_detail is the procedure name.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    Application.OnKey "{RETURN}", "get_detail"

End Sub

Now within this sheet whenever you press Enter button the assigned macro will be called.

Create an enum with string values

A hacky way to this is: -

CallStatus.ts

enum Status
{
    PENDING_SCHEDULING,
    SCHEDULED,
    CANCELLED,
    COMPLETED,
    IN_PROGRESS,
    FAILED,
    POSTPONED
}

export = Status

Utils.ts

static getEnumString(enum:any, key:any):string
{
    return enum[enum[key]];
}

How to use

Utils.getEnumString(Status, Status.COMPLETED); // = "COMPLETED"

Android BroadcastReceiver within Activity

I think your problem is that you send the broadcast before the other activity start ! so the other activity will not receive anything .

The best practice to test your code is to sendbroadcast from thread or from a service so the activity is opened and its registered the receiver and the background process sends a message.
start the ToastDisplay activity from the sender activity ( I didn't test that but it may work probably )

How to increase space between dotted border dots

So starting with the answer given and applying the fact that CSS3 allows multiple settings - the below code is useful for creating a complete box:

_x000D_

#border {_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
  background: yellow;_x000D_
  text-align: center;_x000D_
  line-height: 100px;_x000D_
  background: linear-gradient(to right, orange 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%), linear-gradient(blue 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%), linear-gradient(to right, green 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%), linear-gradient(red 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0%);_x000D_
  background-position: top, right, bottom, left;_x000D_
  background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-y;_x000D_
  background-size: 10px 1px, 1px 10px;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<div id="border">_x000D_
  bordered area_x000D_
</div>

_x000D_

Its worth noting that the 10px in the background size gives the area that the dash and gap will cover. The 50% of the background tag is how wide the dash actually is. It is therefore possible to have different length dashes on each border side.

Entity Framework Core add unique constraint code-first

Also if you want to create Unique constrains on multiple columns you can simply do this (following @Sampath's link)

class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Person> People { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<Person>()
            .HasIndex(p => new { p.FirstName, p.LastName })
            .IsUnique(true);
    }
}

public class Person
{
    public int PersonId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

Receiving JSON data back from HTTP request

Building on @Panagiotis Kanavos' answer, here's a working method as example which will also return the response as an object instead of a string:

using System.Text;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Newtonsoft.Json; // Nuget Package

public static async Task<object> PostCallAPI(string url, object jsonObject)
{
    try
    {
        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
        {
            var content = new StringContent(jsonObject.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            var response = await client.PostAsync(url, content);
            if (response != null)
            {
                var jsonString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<object>(jsonString);
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        myCustomLogger.LogException(ex);
    }
    return null;
}

Keep in mind that this is only an example and that you'd probably would like to use HttpClient as a shared instance instead of using it in a using-clause.

split string only on first instance - java

As many other answers suggest the limit approach, This can be another way

You can use the indexOf method on String which will returns the first Occurance of the given character, Using that index you can get the desired output

String target = "apple=fruit table price=5" ;
int x= target.indexOf("=");
System.out.println(target.substring(x+1));

How to change the default charset of a MySQL table?

The ALTER TABLE MySQL command should do the trick. The following command will change the default character set of your table and the character set of all its columns to UTF8.

ALTER TABLE etape_prospection CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

This command will convert all text-like columns in the table to the new character set. Character sets use different amounts of data per character, so MySQL will convert the type of some columns to ensure there's enough room to fit the same number of characters as the old column type.

I recommend you read the ALTER TABLE MySQL documentation before modifying any live data.

I can't install pyaudio on Windows? How to solve "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required."?

If you are using Python 3.7.3 and Windows 10 64-bit machine then try the following command. Go to the download folder and Install following command:

pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

and it should work.

Qt 5.1.1: Application failed to start because platform plugin "windows" is missing

Most of these answers contain good (correct) info, but in my case, there was still something missing.

My app is built as a library (dll) and called by a non-Qt application. I used windeployqt.exe to set up the Qt dlls, platforms, plugins, etc. in the install directory, but it still couldn't find the platform. After some experimentation, I realized the application's working directory was set to a different folder. So, I grabbed the directory in which the dll "lived" using GetModuleHandleExA and added that directory to the Qt library path at runtime using

QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath(<result of GetModuleHandleExA>);

This worked for me.

How to call a PHP function on the click of a button

You can simply do this. In php, you can determine button click by use of

if(isset($_Post['button_tag_name']){
echo "Button Clicked";
}

Therefore you should modify you code as follows:


<?php

if(isset($_Post['select']){
 echo "select button clicked and select method should be executed";
}
if(isset($_Post['insert']){
 echo "insert button clicked and insert method should be executed";
}
           
        ?>

Does tkinter have a table widget?

How to show alert message in mvc 4 controller?

You cannot show an alert from a controller. There is one way communication from the client to the server.The server can therefore not tell the client to do anything. The client requests and the server gives a response.

You therefore need to use javascript when the response returns to show a messagebox of some sort.

using jquery on the button that calls the controller action

<script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
  $("#submitButton").on("click",function()
  {
   alert('Your Message');
  });

});
<script>

Laravel 5 show ErrorException file_put_contents failed to open stream: No such file or directory

The reason for this problem is the cache files in localhost. According to that I've tried several things as follows to clear the cache on my project, but every time I've failed.

Tried to clear cahe commands by changing web.php file (with artisan codes)
Tried to clear cache by connecting SSH (via PUTTY)
Tried to host my project in Sub domain within create a new Public directory

So I've found a solution for this problem after each and every above steps failed and it worked for me perfectly. I deleted the cache.php file in host_route/bootstrap/cache directory.

I think this answer will help your problem.

Paste multiple columns together

I benchmarked the answers of Anthony Damico, Brian Diggs and data_steve on a small sample tbl_df and got the following results.

> data <- data.frame('a' = 1:3, 
+                    'b' = c('a','b','c'), 
+                    'c' = c('d', 'e', 'f'), 
+                    'd' = c('g', 'h', 'i'))
> data <- tbl_df(data)
> cols <- c("b", "c", "d")
> microbenchmark(

Difference between Visual Basic 6.0 and VBA

Actually VBA can be used to compile DLLs. The Office 2000 and Office XP Developer editions included a VBA editor that could be used for making DLLs for use as COM Addins.

This functionality was removed in later versions (2003 and 2007) with the advent of the VSTO (VS Tools for Office) software, although obviously you could still create COM addins in a similar fashion without the use of VSTO (or VS.Net) by using VB6 IDE.

centos: Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket

I just went through this issue and none of the suggestions solved my problem. While I was unable to start MySQL on boot and found the same message in the logs ("Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket"), I was able to start the service once I arrived at the console.

In my configuration file, I found the following line: bind-address=xx.x.x.x. I randomly decided to comment it out, and the error on boot disappeared. Because the bind address provides security, in a way, I decided to explore it further. I was using the machine's IP address, rather than the IPv4 loopback address - 127.0.0.1.

In short, by using 127.0.0.1 as the bind-address, I was able to fix this error. I hope this helps those who have this problem, but are unable to resolve it using the answers detailed above.

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

I faced the same issue in below scenario yesterday. However I fixed it as shown below. But it would be great if someone can explain me as to why this error was coming specifically in my case.

pasted content of index.ejs file that gave the error in the browser when I run my node file "app.js". It has a route "/blogs" that redirects to "index.ejs" file.

<%= include partials/header %>
<h1>Index Page</h1>
<% blogs.forEach(function(blog){ %>
    <div>
        <h2><%= blog.title %></h2>
        <image src="<%= blog.image %>">
        <span><%= blog.created %></span>
        <p><%= blog.body %></p>
    </div>
<% }) %>
<%= include partials/footer %>

The error that came on the browser :

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list in /home/ubuntu/workspace/RESTful/RESTfulBlogApp/views/index.ejs while compiling ejs

How I fixed it : I removed "=" in the include statements at the top and the bottom and it worked fine.

curl usage to get header

google.com is not responding to HTTP HEAD requests, which is why you are seeing a hang for the first command.

It does respond to GET requests, which is why the third command works.

As for the second, curl just prints the headers from a standard request.

How to copy static files to build directory with Webpack?

Above suggestions are good. But to try to answer your question directly I'd suggest using cpy-cli in a script defined in your package.json.

This example expects node to somewhere on your path. Install cpy-cli as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev cpy-cli

Then create a couple of nodejs files. One to do the copy and the other to display a checkmark and message.

copy.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

var shelljs = require('shelljs');
var addCheckMark = require('./helpers/checkmark');
var path = require('path');

var cpy = path.join(__dirname, '../node_modules/cpy-cli/cli.js');

shelljs.exec(cpy + ' /static/* /build/', addCheckMark.bind(null, callback));

function callback() {
  process.stdout.write(' Copied /static/* to the /build/ directory\n\n');
}

checkmark.js

var chalk = require('chalk');

/**
 * Adds mark check symbol
 */
function addCheckMark(callback) {
  process.stdout.write(chalk.green(' ?'));
  callback();
}

module.exports = addCheckMark;

Add the script in package.json. Assuming scripts are in <project-root>/scripts/

...
"scripts": {
  "copy": "node scripts/copy.js",
...

To run the sript:

npm run copy

How do I disable directory browsing?

You can place an empty file called index.html into each directory that you don't want listed. This has several advantages:

It (usually) requires zero configuration on the server.
It will keep working, even if the server administrator decides to use "AllowOverride None" in the the server configuration. (If you use .htaccess files, this can lead to lots of "Error 500 - internal server error" messages for your users!).
It also allows you to move your files from one server to the next, again without having to mess with the apache configuration.

Theoretically, the autoindexing might be triggered by a different file (this is controlled by the DirectoryIndex option), but I have yet to encounter this in the real world.

How to pass a form input value into a JavaScript function

It might be cleaner to take out your inline click handler and do it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#button-id').click(function() {
      foo($('#formValueId').val());
    });
});

Get the ID of a drawable in ImageView

I recently run into the same problem. I solved it by implementing my own ImageView class.

Here is my Kotlin implementation:

class MyImageView(context: Context): ImageView(context) {
    private var currentDrawableId: Int? = null

    override fun setImageResource(resId: Int) {
        super.setImageResource(resId)
        currentDrawableId = resId
    }

    fun getDrawableId() {

How to connect a Windows Mobile PDA to Windows 10

Unfortunately the Windows Mobile Device Center stopped working out of the box after the Creators Update for Windows 10. The application won't open and therefore it's impossible to get the sync working. In order to get it running now we need to modify the ActiveSync registry settings. Create a BAT file with the following contents and run it as administrator:

REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Restart the computer and everything should work.

how to get session id of socket.io client in Client

For some reason

socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log(socket.io.engine.id);
});

did not work for me. However

socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log(io().id);
});

did work for me. Hopefully this is helpful for people who also had issues with getting the id. I use Socket IO >= 1.0, by the way.

How do you synchronise projects to GitHub with Android Studio?

how does int main() and void main() work

Neither main() or void main() are standard C. The former is allowed as it has an implicit int return value, making it the same as int main(). The purpose of main's return value is to return an exit status to the operating system.

In standard C, the only valid signatures for main are:

int main(void)

and

int main(int argc, char **argv)

The form you're using: int main() is an old style declaration that indicates main takes an unspecified number of arguments. Don't use it - choose one of those above.

How to use multiple @RequestMapping annotations in spring?

From my test (spring 3.0.5), @RequestMapping(value={"", "/"}) - only "/" works, "" does not. However I found out this works: @RequestMapping(value={"/", " * "}), the " * " matches anything, so it will be the default handler in case no others.

how to create inline style with :before and :after

If you really need it inline, for example because you are loading some user-defined colors dynamically, you can always add a <style> element right before your content.

<style>#project-slide-1:before { color: #ff0000; }</style>
<div id="project-slide-1" class="project-slide"> ... </div>

Example use case with PHP and some (wordpress inspired) dummy functions:

<style>#project-slide-<?php the_ID() ?>:before { color: <?php the_field('color') ?>; }</style>
<div id="project-slide-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="project-slide"> ... </div>

Since HTML 5.2 it is valid to place style elements inside the body, although it is still recommend to place style elements in the head.

Reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/document-metadata.html#the-style-element

How to create Python egg file

You are reading the wrong documentation. You want this: https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#develop-deploy-the-project-source-in-development-mode

Creating setup.py is covered in the distutils documentation in Python's standard library documentation here. The main difference (for python eggs) is you import setup from setuptools, not distutils.
Yep. That should be right.
I don't think so. pyc files can be version and platform dependent. You might be able to open the egg (they should just be zip files) and delete .py files leaving .pyc files, but it wouldn't be recommended.
I'm not sure. That might be “Development Mode”. Or are you looking for some “py2exe” or “py2app” mode?

Get Android Phone Model programmatically

The following strings are all of use when you want to retrieve manufacturer, name of the device, and/or the model:

String model        = Build.MODEL;

What's the difference between @Component, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?

A @Service to quote spring documentation,

Indicates that an annotated class is a "Service", originally defined by Domain-Driven Design (Evans, 2003) as "an operation offered as an interface that stands alone in the model, with no encapsulated state." May also indicate that a class is a "Business Service Facade" (in the Core J2EE patterns sense), or something similar. This annotation is a general-purpose stereotype and individual teams may narrow their semantics and use as appropriate.

If you look at domain driven design by eric evans,

A SERVICE is an operation offered as an interface that stands alone in the model, without encapsulating state, as ENTITIES and VALUE OBJECTS do. SERVICES are a common pattern in technical frameworks, but they can also apply in the domain layer. The name service emphasizes the relationship with other objects. Unlike ENTITIES and VALUE OBJECTS, it is defined purely in terms of what it can do for a client. A SERVICE tends to be named for an activity, rather than an entity—a verb rather than a noun. A SERVICE can still have an abstract, intentional definition; it just has a different flavor than the definition of an object. A SERVICE should still have a defined responsibility, and that responsibility and the interface fulfilling it should be defined as part of the domain model. Operation names should come from the UBIQUITOUS LANGUAGE or be introduced into it. Parameters and results should be domain objects. SERVICES should be used judiciously and not allowed to strip the ENTITIES and VALUE OBJECTS of all their behavior. But when an operation is actually an important domain concept, a SERVICE forms a natural part of a MODEL-DRIVEN DESIGN. Declared in the model as a SERVICE, rather than as a phony object that doesn't actually represent anything, the standalone operation will not mislead anyone.

and a Repository as per Eric Evans,

A REPOSITORY represents all objects of a certain type as a conceptual set (usually emulated). It acts like a collection, except with more elaborate querying capability. Objects of the appropriate type are added and removed, and the machinery behind the REPOSITORY inserts them or deletes them from the database. This definition gathers a cohesive set of responsibilities for providing access to the roots of AGGREGATES from early life cycle through the end.

How to SFTP with PHP?

PHP has ssh2 stream wrappers (disabled by default), so you can use sftp connections with any function that supports stream wrappers by using ssh2.sftp:// for protocol, e.g.

file_get_contents('ssh2.sftp://user:[email protected]:22/path/to/filename');

or - when also using the ssh2 extension

$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$stream = fopen("ssh2.sftp://$sftp/path/to/file", 'r');

See http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ssh2.php

On a side note, there is also quite a bunch of questions about this topic already:

POST request with a simple string in body with Alamofire

I've used answer of @afrodev as reference. In my case I take parameter to my function as string that have to be posted in request. So, here is the code:

func defineOriginalLanguage(ofText: String) {
    let text =  ofText
    let stringURL = basicURL + "identify?version=2018-05-01"
    let url = URL(string: stringURL)

    var request = URLRequest(url: url!)
    request.httpMethod = HTTPMethod.post.rawValue
    request.setValue("text/plain", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    request.httpBody = text.data(using: .utf8)

    Alamofire.request(request)
        .responseJSON { response in
            print(response)
    }
}

Is there a way to get version from package.json in nodejs code?

I am using gitlab ci and want to automatically use the different versions to tag my docker images and push them. Now their default docker image does not include node so my version to do this in shell only is this

scripts/getCurrentVersion.sh

BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
cat $BASEDIR/../package.json | grep '"version"' | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/"//g; s/,//g'

Now what this does is

Print your package json
Search for the lines with "version"
Take only the first result
Replace " and ,

Please not that i have my scripts in a subfolder with the according name in my repository. So if you don't change $BASEDIR/../package.json to $BASEDIR/package.json

Or if you want to be able to get major, minor and patch version I use this

scripts/getCurrentVersion.sh

VERSION_TYPE=$1
BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
VERSION=$(cat $BASEDIR/../package.json | grep '"version"' | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/"//g; s/,//g')

if [ $VERSION_TYPE = "major" ]; then
  echo $(echo $VERSION | awk -F "." '{print $1}' )
elif [ $VERSION_TYPE = "minor" ]; then
  echo $(echo $VERSION | awk -F "." '{print $1"."$2}' )
else
  echo $VERSION
fi

this way if your version was 1.2.3. Your output would look like this

$ > sh ./getCurrentVersion.sh major
1

$> sh ./getCurrentVersion.sh minor
1.2

$> sh ./getCurrentVersion.sh
1.2.3

Now the only thing you will have to make sure is that your package version will be the first time in package.json that key is used otherwise you'll end up with the wrong version

Formatting NSDate into particular styles for both year, month, day, and hour, minute, seconds

Swift 3

extension Date {
    
    func toString(template: String) -> String {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.dateFormat = DateFormatter.dateFormat(fromTemplate: template, options: 0, locale: NSLocale.current)
        return formatter.string(from: self)
    }
    
}

Usage

let now = Date()
let nowStr0 = now.toString(template: "EEEEdMMM") // Tuesday, May 9
let nowStr1 = now.toString(template: "yyyy-MM-dd") // 2017-05-09
let nowStr2 = now.toString(template: "HH:mm:ss") // 17:47:09

Play with template to match your needs. Examples and doc here to help you build the template you need.

Note

You may want to cache your DateFormatter if you plan to use it in TableView for instance. To give an idea, looping over 1000 dates took me 0.5 sec using the above toString(template: String) function, compared to 0.05 sec using myFormatter.string(from: Date).

MySQL error - #1062 - Duplicate entry ' ' for key 2

I got this error when I tried to set a column as unique when there was already duplicate data in the column OR if you try to add a column and set it as unique when there is already data in the table.

I had a table with 5 rows and I tried to add a unique column and it failed because all 5 of those rows would be empty and thus not unique.

I created the column without the unique index set, then populated the data then set it as unique and everything worked.

How do negative margins in CSS work and why is (margin-top:-5 != margin-bottom:5)?

Negative margins are valid in css and understanding their (compliant) behaviour is mainly based on the box model and margin collapsing. While certain scenarios are more complex, a lot of common mistakes can be avoided after studying the spec.

For instance, rendering of your sample code is guided by the css spec as described in calculating heights and margins for absolutely positioned non-replaced elements.

If I were to make a graphical representation, I'd probably go with something like this (not to scale):

negative top margin

The margin box lost 8px on the top, however this does not affect the content & padding boxes. Because your element is absolutely positioned, moving the element 8px up does not cause any further disturbance to the layout; with static in-flow content that's not always the case.

Bonus:

Still need convincing that reading specs is the way to go (as opposed to articles like this)? I see you're trying to vertically center the element, so why do you have to set margin-top:-8px; and not margin-top:-50%;?

Well, vertical centering in CSS is harder than it should be. When setting even top or bottom margins in %, the value is calculated as a percentage always relative to the width of the containing block. This is rather a common pitfall and the quirk is rarely described outside of w3 docos

"string could not resolved" error in Eclipse for C++ (Eclipse can't resolve standard library)

I've just replied to the related question given by Vanuan (Eclipse CDT: Unresolved inclusion of stl header), and this is my answer :

You could also try use "CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings". Go to the project properties > C/C++ General > Preprocessor Include Path > Providers tab then check "CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings" if it is not.

None of the other solutions (play with include path, etc) worked for me for the type 'string', but this one fixed it.

How do I extract value from Json

Pasting my code here, this should help. It shows the package which can be used.

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class extractingJSON {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String jsonStr = "{\"name\":\"SK\",\"arr\":{\"a\":\"1\",\"b\":\"2\"}}";
        JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonStr);
        String name = jsonObj.getString("name");
        System.out.println(name);

        String first = jsonObj.getJSONObject("arr").getString("a");
        System.out.println(first);

    }

Partly JSON unmarshal into a map in Go

Here is an elegant way to do similar thing. But why do partly JSON unmarshal? That doesn't make sense.

Create your structs for the Chat.
Decode json to the Struct.
Now you can access everything in Struct/Object easily.

Look below at the working code. Copy and paste it.

import (
   "bytes"
   "encoding/json" // Encoding and Decoding Package
   "fmt"
 )

var messeging = `{
"say":"Hello",
"sendMsg":{
    "user":"ANisus",
    "msg":"Trying to send a message"
   }
}`

type SendMsg struct {
   User string `json:"user"`
   Msg  string `json:"msg"`
}

 type Chat struct {
   Say     string   `json:"say"`
   SendMsg *SendMsg `json:"sendMsg"`
}

func main() {
  /** Clean way to solve Json Decoding in Go */
  /** Excellent solution */

   var chat Chat
   r := bytes.NewReader([]byte(messeging))
   chatErr := json.NewDecoder(r).Decode(&chat)
   errHandler(chatErr)
   fmt.Println(chat.Say)
   fmt.Println(chat.SendMsg.User)
   fmt.Println(chat.SendMsg.Msg)

}

 func errHandler(err error) {
   if err != nil {
     fmt.Println(err)
     return
   }
 }

Bootstrap 3 : Vertically Center Navigation Links when Logo Increasing The Height of Navbar

I found that you don't necessarily need the text vertically centred, it also looks good near the bottom of the row, it's only when it's at the top (or above centre?) that it looks wrong. So I went with this to push the links to the bottom of the row:

.navbar-brand {
    min-height: 80px;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    #navbar-collapse {
        position: absolute;
        bottom: 0px;
        left: 250px;
    }
}

My brand image is SVG and I used height: 50px; width: auto which makes it about 216px wide. It spilled out of its container vertically so I added the min-height: 80px; to make room for it plus bootstrap's 15px margins. Then I tweaked the navbar-collapse's left setting until it looked right.

how to cancel/abort ajax request in axios

Using useEffect hook:

useEffect(() => {
  const ourRequest = Axios.CancelToken.source() // <-- 1st step

  const fetchPost = async () => {
    try {
      const response = await Axios.get(`endpointURL`, {
        cancelToken: ourRequest.token, // <-- 2nd step
      })
      console.log(response.data)
      setPost(response.data)
      setIsLoading(false)
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('There was a problem or request was cancelled.')
    }
  }
  fetchPost()

  return () => {
    ourRequest.cancel() // <-- 3rd step
  }
}, [])

Note: For POST request, pass cancelToken as 3rd argument

Axios.post(`endpointURL`, {data}, {
 cancelToken: ourRequest.token, // 2nd step
})

How to create a density plot in matplotlib?

The density plot can also be created by using matplotlib: The function plt.hist(data) returns the y and x values necessary for the density plot (see the documentation https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.hist.html). Resultingly, the following code creates a density plot by using the matplotlib library:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
dat=[-1,2,1,4,-5,3,6,1,2,1,2,5,6,5,6,2,2,2]
a=plt.hist(dat,density=True)
plt.close()
plt.figure()
plt.plot(a[1][1:],a[0])

This code returns the following density plot

Python datetime to string without microsecond component

Since not all datetime.datetime instances have a microsecond component (i.e. when it is zero), you can partition the string on a "." and take only the first item, which will always work:

unicode(datetime.datetime.now()).partition('.')[0]

Android: keeping a background service alive (preventing process death)

For Android 2.0 or later you can use the startForeground() method to start your Service in the foreground.

The documentation says the following:

A started service can use the startForeground(int, Notification) API to put the service in a foreground state, where the system considers it to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate for killing when low on memory. (It is still theoretically possible for the service to be killed under extreme memory pressure from the current foreground application, but in practice this should not be a concern.)

The is primarily intended for when killing the service would be disruptive to the user, e.g. killing a music player service would stop music playing.

You'll need to supply a Notification to the method which is displayed in the Notifications Bar in the Ongoing section.

mingw-w64 threads: posix vs win32

Parts of the GCC runtime (the exception handling, in particular) are dependent on the threading model being used. So, if you're using the version of the runtime that was built with POSIX threads, but decide to create threads in your own code with the Win32 APIs, you're likely to have problems at some point.

Even if you're using the Win32 threading version of the runtime you probably shouldn't be calling the Win32 APIs directly. Quoting from the MinGW FAQ:

As MinGW uses the standard Microsoft C runtime library which comes with Windows, you should be careful and use the correct function to generate a new thread. In particular, the CreateThread function will not setup the stack correctly for the C runtime library. You should use _beginthreadex instead, which is (almost) completely compatible with CreateThread.

How to split a delimited string into an array in awk?

Huge performance difference when using group by vs distinct

The two queries express the same question. Apparently the query optimizer chooses two different execution plans. My guess would be that the distinct approach is executed like:

Copy all business_key values to a temporary table
Sort the temporary table
Scan the temporary table, returning each item that is different from the one before it

The group by could be executed like:

Scan the full table, storing each value of business key in a hashtable
Return the keys of the hashtable

The first method optimizes for memory usage: it would still perform reasonably well when part of the temporary table has to be swapped out. The second method optimizes for speed, but potentially requires a large amount of memory if there are a lot of different keys.

Since you either have enough memory or few different keys, the second method outperforms the first. It's not unusual to see performance differences of 10x or even 100x between two execution plans.

How to perform grep operation on all files in a directory?

In Linux, I normally use this command to recursively grep for a particular text within a dir

Authenticate with GitHub using a token

For those coming from GitLab what's worked for me:

Step 1.

add remote

git remote add origin https://<access-token-name>:<access-token>@gitlab.com/path/to/project.git

Step 2.

pull once

https://<access-token-name>:<access-token>@gitlab.com/path/to/project.git

now you are able to read/write to/from repository

SQL to find the number of distinct values in a column

This will give you BOTH the distinct column values and the count of each value. I usually find that I want to know both pieces of information.

SQL Server - boolean literal?

I hope this answers the intent of the question. Although there are no Booleans in SQL Server, if you have a database that had Boolean types that was translated from Access, the phrase which works in Access was "...WHERE Foo" (Foo is the Boolean column name). It can be replaced by "...WHERE Foo<>0" ... and this works. Good luck!

what happens when you type in a URL in browser

First the computer looks up the destination host. If it exists in local DNS cache, it uses that information. Otherwise, DNS querying is performed until the IP address is found.

Then, your browser opens a TCP connection to the destination host and sends the request according to HTTP 1.1 (or might use HTTP 1.0, but normal browsers don't do it any more).

The server looks up the required resource (if it exists) and responds using HTTP protocol, sends the data to the client (=your browser)

The browser then uses HTML parser to re-create document structure which is later presented to you on screen. If it finds references to external resources, such as pictures, css files, javascript files, these are is delivered the same way as the HTML document itself.

How to change 1 char in the string?

Strings are immutable. You can use the string builder class to help!:

string str = "valta is the best place in the World";

StringBuilder strB = new StringBuilder(str);

strB[0] = 'M';

What does "\r" do in the following script?

'\r' means 'carriage return' and it is similar to '\n' which means 'line break' or more commonly 'new line'

in the old days of typewriters, you would have to move the carriage that writes back to the start of the line, and move the line down in order to write onto the next line.

in the modern computer era we still have this functionality for multiple reasons. but mostly we use only '\n' and automatically assume that we want to start writing from the start of the line, since it would not make much sense otherwise.

however, there are some times when we want to use JUST the '\r' and that would be if i want to write something to an output, and the instead of going down to a new line and writing something else, i want to write something over what i already wrote, this is how many programs in linux or in windows command line are able to have 'progress' information that changes on the same line.

nowadays most systems use only the '\n' to denote a newline. but some systems use both together.

you can see examples of this given in some of the other answers, but the most common are:

windows ends lines with '\r\n'
mac ends lines with '\r'
unix/linux use '\n'

and some other programs also have specific uses for them.

How to read line by line of a text area HTML tag

This would give you all valid numeric values in lines. You can change the loop to validate, strip out invalid characters, etc - whichever you want.

var lines = [];
$('#my_textarea_selector').val().split("\n").each(function ()
{
    if (parseInt($(this) != 'NaN')
        lines[] = parseInt($(this));
}

Increase permgen space

You can use :

-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

to increase the space. But this usually only postpones the inevitable.

You can also enable the PermGen to be garbage collected

-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

Usually this occurs when doing lots of redeploys. I am surprised you have it using something like indexing. Use virtualvm or jconsole to monitor the Perm gen space and check it levels off after warming up the indexing.

Maybe you should consider changing to another JVM like the IBM JVM. It does not have a Permanent Generation and is immune to this issue.
