Explain why constructor inject is better than other options

This example may help:

Controller class:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/abc/dev")
@Scope(value = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_REQUEST)
public class MyController {
//Setter Injection
@Resource(name="configBlack")
public void setColor(Color c) {
    System.out.println("Injecting setter");
    this.blackColor = c;
}

public Color getColor() {
    return this.blackColor;
}

public MyController() {
    super();
}

Color nred;
Color nblack;

//Constructor injection
@Autowired
public MyController(@Qualifier("constBlack")Color b, @Qualifier("constRed")Color r) {
    this.nred = r;
    this.nblack = b;
}

private Color blackColor;

//Field injection
@Autowired
private Color black;

//Field injection
@Resource(name="configRed")
private Color red;

@RequestMapping(value = "/customers", produces = { "application/text" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.CREATED)
public String createCustomer() {
    System.out.println("Field injection red: " + red.getName());
    System.out.println("Field injection: " + black.getName());
    System.out.println("Setter injection black: " + blackColor.getName());

    System.out.println("Constructor inject nred: " + nred.getName());
    System.out.println("Constructor inject nblack: " + nblack.getName());


    MyController mc = new MyController();
    mc.setColor(new Red("No injection red"));
    System.out.println("No injection : " + mc.getColor().getName());

    return "Hello";
}
}

Interface Color:

public interface Color {
    public String getName();
}

Class Red:

@Component
public class Red implements Color{
private String name;

@Override
public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public Red(String name) {
    System.out.println("Red color: "+ name);
    this.name = name;
}

public Red() {
    System.out.println("Red color default constructor");
}

}

Class Black:

@Component
public class Black implements Color{
private String name;

@Override
public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public Black(String name) {
    System.out.println("Black color: "+ name);
    this.name = name;
}

public Black() {
    System.out.println("Black color default constructor");
}

}

Config class for creating Beans:

@Configuration
public class Config {

@Bean(name = "configRed")
public Red getRedInstance() {
    Red red = new Red();
    red.setName("Config red");
    return red;
}

@Bean(name = "configBlack")
public Black getBlackInstance() {
    Black black = new Black();
    black.setName("config Black");
    return black;
}

@Bean(name = "constRed")
public Red getConstRedInstance() {
    Red red = new Red();
    red.setName("Config const red");
    return red;
}

@Bean(name = "constBlack")
public Black getConstBlackInstance() {
    Black black = new Black();
    black.setName("config const Black");
    return black;
}
}

BootApplication (main class):

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com"})
public class BootApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(BootApplication.class, args);
}
}

Run Application and hit URL: GET 127.0.0.1:8080/abc/dev/customers/

Output:
Injecting setter
Field injection red: Config red
Field injection: null
Setter injection black: config Black
Constructor inject nred: Config const red
Constructor inject nblack: config const Black
Red color: No injection red
Injecting setter
No injection : No injection red

How to use the "required" attribute with a "radio" input field

TL;DR: Set the required attribute for at least one input of the radio group.


Setting required for all inputs is more clear, but not necessary (unless dynamically generating radio-buttons).

To group radio buttons they must all have the same name value. This allows only one to be selected at a time and applies required to the whole group.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<form>_x000D_
  Select Gender:<br>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <label>_x000D_
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" required>_x000D_
    Male_x000D_
  </label><br>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <label>_x000D_
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female">_x000D_
    Female_x000D_
  </label><br>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <label>_x000D_
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="other">_x000D_
    Other_x000D_
  </label><br>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <input type="submit">_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Also take note of:

To avoid confusion as to whether a radio button group is required or not, authors are encouraged to specify the attribute on all the radio buttons in a group. Indeed, in general, authors are encouraged to avoid having radio button groups that do not have any initially checked controls in the first place, as this is a state that the user cannot return to, and is therefore generally considered a poor user interface.

What is the difference between required and ng-required?

AngularJS form elements look for the required attribute to perform validation functions. ng-required allows you to set the required attribute depending on a boolean test (for instance, only require field B - say, a student number - if the field A has a certain value - if you selected "student" as a choice)

As an example, <input required> and <input ng-required="true"> are essentially the same thing

If you are wondering why this is this way, (and not just make <input required="true"> or <input required="false">), it is due to the limitations of HTML - the required attribute has no associated value - its mere presence means (as per HTML standards) that the element is required - so angular needs a way to set/unset required value (required="false" would be invalid HTML)

Angular is automatically adding 'ng-invalid' class on 'required' fields

the accepted answer is correct.. for mobile you can also use this (ng-touched rather ng-dirty)

input.ng-invalid.ng-touched{
  border-bottom: 1px solid #e74c3c !important; 
}

lvalue required as left operand of assignment error when using C++

Put simply, an lvalue is something that can appear on the left-hand side of an assignment, typically a variable or array element.

So if you define int *p, then p is an lvalue. p+1, which is a valid expression, is not an lvalue.

If you're trying to add 1 to p, the correct syntax is:

p = p + 1;

Is the 'as' keyword required in Oracle to define an alias?

<kdb></kdb> is required when we have a space in Alias Name like

SELECT employee_id,department_id AS "Department ID"
FROM employees
order by department

HTML5 required attribute seems not working

As long as have added type="submit" to button you are good.

 <form action="">
    <input type="text" placeholder="name" required>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Can I apply the required attribute to <select> fields in HTML5?

first you have to assign blank value in first option. i.e. Select here.than only required will work.

Time part of a DateTime Field in SQL

This should strip away the date part:

select convert(datetime,convert(float, getdate()) - convert(int,getdate())), getdate()

and return a datetime with a default date of 1900-01-01.

How to close an iframe within iframe itself

None of this solution worked for me since I'm in a cross-domain scenario creating a bookmarklet like Pinterest's Pin It.

I've found a bookmarklet template on GitHub https://gist.github.com/kn0ll/1020251 that solved the problem of closing the Iframe sending the command from within it.

Since I can't access any element from parent window within the IFrame, this communication can only be made posting events between the two windows using window.postMessage

All these steps are on the GitHub link:

1- You have to inject a JS file on the parent page.

2- In this file injected on the parent, add a window event listner

    window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
       var someIframe = window.parent.document.getElementById('iframeid');
       someIframe.parentNode.removeChild(window.parent.document.getElementById('iframeid'));
    });

This listener will handle the close and any other event you wish

3- Inside the Iframe page you send the close command via postMessage:

   $(this).trigger('post-message', [{
                    event: 'unload-bookmarklet'
                }]);

Follow the template on https://gist.github.com/kn0ll/1020251 and you'll be fine!

Hope it helps,

Combine or merge JSON on node.js without jQuery

You can use Lodash

const _ = require('lodash');

let firstObject = {'email' : '[email protected]};
let secondObject = { 'name' : { 'first':message.firstName } };
_.merge(firstObject, secondObject)

DATEDIFF function in Oracle

We can directly subtract dates to get difference in Days.

    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON ;
    DECLARE
        V_VAR NUMBER;
    BEGIN
         V_VAR:=TO_DATE('2000-01-02', 'YYYY-MM-DD') - TO_DATE('2000-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD') ;
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_VAR);
    END;

Provide password to ssh command inside bash script, Without the usage of public keys and Expect

Install sshpass, then launch the command:

how to add new <li> to <ul> onclick with javascript

There is nothing much to add to your code except appending the li tag to the ul

ul.appendChild(li)

and there you go just add this to your function and then it should work.

Adding multiple class using ng-class

An incredibly powerful alternative to other answers here:

ng-class="[  { key: resulting-class-expression }[ key-matching-expression ], ..  ]"

Some examples:

1. Simply adds 'class1 class2 class3' to the div:

<div ng-class="[{true: 'class1'}[true], {true: 'class2 class3'}[true]]"></div>

2. Adds 'odd' or 'even' classes to div, depending on the $index:

<div ng-class="[{0:'even', 1:'odd'}[ $index % 2]]"></div>

3. Dynamically creates a class for each div based on $index

<div ng-class="[{true:'index'+$index}[true]]"></div>

If $index=5 this will result in:

<div class="index5"></div>

Here's a code sample you can run:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var app = angular.module('app', []); _x000D_
app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope){_x000D_
  $scope.items = 'abcdefg'.split('');_x000D_
}); 
_x000D_
.odd  { background-color: #eee; }_x000D_
.even { background-color: #fff; }_x000D_
.index5 {background-color: #0095ff; color: white; font-weight: bold; }_x000D_
* { font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; }
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.1/angular.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="MyCtrl">_x000D_
  <div ng-repeat="item in items"_x000D_
    ng-class="[{true:'index'+$index}[true], {0:'even', 1:'odd'}[ $index % 2 ]]">_x000D_
    index {{$index}} = "{{item}}" ng-class="{{[{true:'index'+$index}[true], {0:'even', 1:'odd'}[ $index % 2 ]].join(' ')}}"_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

git checkout all the files

If you are at the root of your working directory, you can do git checkout -- . to check-out all files in the current HEAD and replace your local files.

You can also do git reset --hard to reset your working directory and replace all changes (including the index).

Sending data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask

The form tag needs some attributes set:

  1. action: The URL that the form data is sent to on submit. Generate it with url_for. It can be omitted if the same URL handles showing the form and processing the data.
  2. method="post": Submits the data as form data with the POST method. If not given, or explicitly set to get, the data is submitted in the query string (request.args) with the GET method instead.
  3. enctype="multipart/form-data": When the form contains file inputs, it must have this encoding set, otherwise the files will not be uploaded and Flask won't see them.

The input tag needs a name parameter.

Add a view to handle the submitted data, which is in request.form under the same key as the input's name. Any file inputs will be in request.files.

@app.route('/handle_data', methods=['POST'])
def handle_data():
    projectpath = request.form['projectFilepath']
    # your code
    # return a response

Set the form's action to that view's URL using url_for:

<form action="{{ url_for('handle_data') }}" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="projectFilepath">
    <input type="submit">
</form>

NSUserDefaults - How to tell if a key exists

I just went through this, and all of your answers helped me toward a good solution, for me. I resisted going the route suggested by, just because I found it hard to read and comprehend.

Here's what I did. I had a BOOL being carried around in a variable called "_talkative".

When I set my default (NSUserDefaults) object, I set it as an object, as I could then test to see if it was nil:

//converting BOOL to an object so we can check on nil
[defaults setObject:@(_talkative) forKey:@"talkative"];

Then when I went to see if it existed, I used:

if ([defaults objectForKey:@"talkative"]!=nil )
  {

Then I used the object as a BOOL:

if ([defaults boolForKey:@"talkative"]) {
 ...

This seems to work in my case. It just made more visual sense to me.

How to get numbers after decimal point?

Using the decimal module from the standard library, you can retain the original precision and avoid floating point rounding issues:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal('4.20') % 1
Decimal('0.20')

As kindall notes in the comments, you'll have to convert native floats to strings first.

Slidedown and slideup layout with animation

How do you get assembler output from C/C++ source in gcc?

The following command line is from Christian Garbin's blog

g++ -g -O -Wa,-aslh horton_ex2_05.cpp >list.txt

I ran G++ from a DOS window on Win-XP, against a routine that contains an implicit cast

c:\gpp_code>g++ -g -O -Wa,-aslh horton_ex2_05.cpp >list.txt
horton_ex2_05.cpp: In function `int main()':

For loop in multidimensional javascript array

JavaScript does not have such declarations. It would be:

var cubes = ...

regardless

But you can do:

for(var i = 0; i < cubes.length; i++)
{
  for(var j = 0; j < cubes[i].length; j++)
  {

  }
}

Note that JavaScript allows jagged arrays, like:

[
  [1, 2, 3],
  [1, 2, 3, 4]
]

since arrays can contain any type of object, including an array of arbitrary length.

As noted by MDC:

"for..in should not be used to iterate over an Array where index order is important"

If you use your original syntax, there is no guarantee the elements will be visited in numeric order.

How to implement a read only property

The second method is preferred because of the encapsulation. You can certainly have the readonly field be public, but that goes against C# idioms in which you have data access occur through properties and not fields.

The reasoning behind this is that the property defines a public interface and if the backing implementation to that property changes, you don't end up breaking the rest of the code because the implementation is hidden behind an interface.

How do you import classes in JSP?

FYI - if you are importing a List into a JSP, chances are pretty good that you are violating MVC principles. Take a few hours now to read up on the MVC approach to web app development (including use of taglibs) - do some more googling on the subject, it's fascinating and will definitely help you write better apps.

If you are doing anything more complicated than a single JSP displaying some database results, please consider using a framework like Spring, Grails, etc... It will absolutely take you a bit more effort to get going, but it will save you so much time and effort down the road that I really recommend it. Besides, it's cool stuff :-)

Is it possible to style html5 audio tag?

Yes! The HTML5 audio tag with the "controls" attribute uses the browser's default player. You can customize it to your liking by not using the browser controls, but rolling your own controls and talking to the audio API via javascript.

Luckily, other people have already done this. My favorite player right now is jPlayer, it is very stylable and works great. Check it out.

Save matplotlib file to a directory

Here is a simple example for saving to a directory(external usb drive) using Python version 2.7.10 with Sublime Text 2 editor:

import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

X = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 256, endpoint = True)
C, S = np.cos(X), np.sin(X)

plt.plot(X, C, color = "blue", linewidth = 1.0, linestyle = "-")
plt.plot(X, S, color = "red", linewidth = 1.0, linestyle = "-")

plt.savefig("/Volumes/seagate/temp_swap/sin_cos_2.png", dpi = 72)

Spring MVC: Error 400 The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect

The @RequestParam String action suggests there is a parameter present within the request with the name action which is absent in your form. You must either:

  1. Submit a parameter named value e.g. <input name="action" />
  2. Set the required parameter to false within the @RequestParam e.g. @RequestParam(required=false)

No Such Element Exception?

Looks like your file.next() line in the while loop is throwing the NoSuchElementException since the scanner reached the end of file. Read the next() java API here

Also you should not call next() in the loop and also in the while condition. In the while condition you should check if next token is available and inside the while loop check if its equal to treasure.

Determining if Swift dictionary contains key and obtaining any of its values

You don't need any special code to do this, because it is what a dictionary already does. When you fetch dict[key] you know whether the dictionary contains the key, because the Optional that you get back is not nil (and it contains the value).

So, if you just want to answer the question whether the dictionary contains the key, ask:

let keyExists = dict[key] != nil

If you want the value and you know the dictionary contains the key, say:

let val = dict[key]!

But if, as usually happens, you don't know it contains the key - you want to fetch it and use it, but only if it exists - then use something like if let:

if let val = dict[key] {
    // now val is not nil and the Optional has been unwrapped, so use it
}

Android Studio suddenly cannot resolve symbols

I had a much stranger solution. In case anyone runs into this, it's worth double checking your gradle file. It turns out that as I was cloning this git and gradle was runnning, it deleted one line from my build.gradle (app) file.

dependencies {
     provided files(providedFiles)

Obviously the problem here was to just add it back and re-sync with gradle.

Understanding SQL Server LOCKS on SELECT queries

select with no lock - will select records which may / may not going to be inserted. you will read a dirty data.

for example - lets say a transaction insert 1000 rows and then fails.

when you select - you will get the 1000 rows.

MySQL: Can't create table (errno: 150)

How to round up integer division and have int result in Java?

Another one-liner that is not too complicated:

private int countNumberOfPages(int numberOfObjects, int pageSize) {
    return numberOfObjects / pageSize + (numberOfObjects % pageSize == 0 ? 0 : 1);
}

Could use long instead of int; just change the parameter types and return type.

How can I export a GridView.DataSource to a datatable or dataset?

This comes in late but was quite helpful. I am Just posting for future reference

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
Data.DataView dv = default(Data.DataView);
dv = (Data.DataView)ds.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
dt = dv.ToTable();

int object is not iterable?

As ghills had already mentioned

inp = int(input("Enter a number:"))

n = 0
for i in str(inp):
    n = n + int(i);
    print n

When you are looping through something, keyword is "IN", just always think of it as a list of something. You cannot loop through a plain integer. Therefore, it is not iterable.

How do you pass view parameters when navigating from an action in JSF2?

Check out these:

You're gonna need something like:

<h:link outcome="success">
  <f:param name="foo" value="bar"/>
</h:link>

...and...

<f:metadata>
  <f:viewParam name="foo" value="#{bean.foo}"/>
</f:metadata>

Judging from this page, something like this might be easier:

 <managed-bean>
   <managed-bean-name>blog</managed-bean-name>
   <managed-bean-class>com.acme.Blog</managed-bean-class>
   <managed-property>
      <property-name>entryId</property-name>
      <value>#{param['id']}</value>
   </managed-property>
 </managed-bean>

Angular.js and HTML5 date input value -- how to get Firefox to show a readable date value in a date input?

The problem is that value is ignored when ng-model is present.

Firefox, which doesn't currently support type="date", will convert all the values to string. Since you (rightly) want date to be a real Date object and not a string, I think the best choice is to create another variable, for instance dateString, and then link the two variables:

<input type="date" ng-model="dateString" />
function MainCtrl($scope, dateFilter) {
    $scope.date = new Date();

    $scope.$watch('date', function (date)
    {
        $scope.dateString = dateFilter(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
    });

    $scope.$watch('dateString', function (dateString)
    {
        $scope.date = new Date(dateString);
    });
}

Fiddle

The actual structure is for demonstration purposes only. You'd be better off creating your own directive, especially in order to:

Please notice that I've used yyyy-MM-dd, because it's a format directly supported by the JavaScript Date object. In case you want to use another one, you must make the conversion yourself.


EDIT

Here is a way to make a clean directive:

myModule.directive(
    'dateInput',
    function(dateFilter) {
        return {
            require: 'ngModel',
            template: '<input type="date"></input>',
            replace: true,
            link: function(scope, elm, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
                ngModelCtrl.$formatters.unshift(function (modelValue) {
                    return dateFilter(modelValue, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
                });

                ngModelCtrl.$parsers.unshift(function(viewValue) {
                    return new Date(viewValue);
                });
            },
        };
});

Fiddle

That's a basic directive, there's still a lot of room for improvement, for example:

  • allow the use of a custom format instead of yyyy-MM-dd,
  • check that the date typed by the user is correct.

Sending message through WhatsApp

This should work whether Whatsapp is installed or not.

boolean isWhatsappInstalled = whatsappInstalledOrNot("com.whatsapp");
if (isWhatsappInstalled) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("smsto:" + "98*********7")
    Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri);
    sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hai Good Morning");
    sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
    startActivity(sendIntent);
} else {
    Toast.makeText(this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.whatsapp");
    Intent goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    startActivity(goToMarket);

}

private boolean whatsappInstalledOrNot(String uri) {
    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    boolean app_installed = false;
    try {
        pm.getPackageInfo(uri, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
        app_installed = true;
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        app_installed = false;
    }
    return app_installed;

good postgresql client for windows?

I recommend Navicat strongly. What I found particularly excellent are it's import functions - you can import almost any data format (Access, Excel, DBF, Lotus ...), define a mapping between the source and destination which can be saved and is repeatable (I even keep my mappings under version control).

I have tried SQLMaestro and found it buggy (particularly for data import); PGAdmin is limited.

Install a .NET windows service without InstallUtil.exe

Here is a class I use when writing services. I usually have an interactive screen that comes up when the service is not called. From there I use the class as needed. It allows for multiple named instances on the same machine -hence the InstanceID field

Sample Call

  IntegratedServiceInstaller Inst = new IntegratedServiceInstaller();
  Inst.Install("MySvc", "My Sample Service", "Service that executes something",
                    _InstanceID,
// System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalService,      // this is more secure, but only available in XP and above and WS-2003 and above
  System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem,       // this is required for WS-2000
  System.ServiceProcess.ServiceStartMode.Automatic);
  if (controller == null)
  {
    controller = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController(String.Format("MySvc_{0}", _InstanceID), ".");
                }
                if (controller.Status == System.ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
                {
                    Start_Stop.Text = "Stop Service";
                    Start_Stop_Debugging.Enabled = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    Start_Stop.Text = "Start Service";
                    Start_Stop_Debugging.Enabled = true;
                }

Scrollview vertical and horizontal in android

Since this seems to be the first search result in Google for "Android vertical+horizontal ScrollView", I thought I should add this here. Matt Clark has built a custom view based on the Android source, and it seems to work perfectly: Two Dimensional ScrollView

Beware that the class in that page has a bug calculating the view's horizonal width. A fix by Manuel Hilty is in the comments:

Solution: Replace the statement on line 808 by the following:

final int childWidthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);


Edit: The Link doesn't work anymore but here is a link to an old version of the blogpost.

Check if application is installed - Android

isFakeGPSInstalled = Utils.isPackageInstalled(Utils.PACKAGE_ID_FAKE_GPS, this.getPackageManager());

    boolean found = true;
    try {
      packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0);
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
      found = false;
    }

    return found;

Execute a batch file on a remote PC using a batch file on local PC

If you are in same WORKGROUP shutdown.exe /s /m \\<target-computer-name> should be enough shutdown /? for more, otherwise you need software to connect and control the target server.

UPDATE:

Seems shutdown.bat here is for shutting down apache-tomcat.

So, you might be interested to psexec or PuTTY: A Free Telnet/SSH Client

As native solution could be wmic

Example:

wmic /node:<target-computer-name> process call create "cmd.exe c:\\somefolder\\batch.bat"

In your example should be:

wmic /node:inidsoasrv01 process call create ^
    "cmd.exe D:\\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\\apache-tomcat-7.0.30\\bin\\shutdown.bat"

wmic /? and wmic /node /? for more

Django ManyToMany filter()

Just restating what Tomasz said.

There are many examples of FOO__in=... style filters in the many-to-many and many-to-one tests. Here is syntax for your specific problem:

users_in_1zone = User.objects.filter(zones__id=<id1>)
# same thing but using in
users_in_1zone = User.objects.filter(zones__in=[<id1>])

# filtering on a few zones, by id
users_in_zones = User.objects.filter(zones__in=[<id1>, <id2>, <id3>])
# and by zone object (object gets converted to pk under the covers)
users_in_zones = User.objects.filter(zones__in=[zone1, zone2, zone3])

The double underscore (__) syntax is used all over the place when working with querysets.

No provider for Http StaticInjectorError

I am on an angular project that (unfortunately) uses source code inclusion via tsconfig.json to connect different collections of code. I came across a similar StaticInjector error for a service (e.g.RestService in the top example) and I was able to fix it by listing the service dependencies in the deps array when providing the affected service in the module, for example:

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { RestService } from 'mylib/src/rest/rest.service';
...
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    HttpModule,
    ...
  ],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: RestService,
      useClass: RestService,
      deps: [HttpClient] /* the injected services in the constructor for RestService */
    },
  ]
  ...

What is the difference between instanceof and Class.isAssignableFrom(...)?

instanceof can only be used with reference types, not primitive types. isAssignableFrom() can be used with any class objects:

a instanceof int  // syntax error
3 instanceof Foo  // syntax error
int.class.isAssignableFrom(int.class)  // true

See http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#isAssignableFrom(java.lang.Class).

Can I change the scroll speed using css or jQuery?

No. Scroll speed is determined by the browser (and usually directly by the settings on the computer/device). CSS and Javascript don't (or shouldn't) have any way to affect system settings.

That being said, there are likely a number of ways you could try to fake a different scroll speed by moving your own content around in such a way as to counteract scrolling. However, I think doing so is a HORRIBLE idea in terms of usability, accessibility, and respect for your users, but I would start by finding events that your target browsers fire that indicate scrolling.

Once you can capture the scroll event (assuming you can), then you would be able to adjust your content dynamically so that the portion you want is visible.

Another approach would be to deal with this in Flash, which does give you at least some level of control over scrolling events.

How to specify 64 bit integers in c

Use stdint.h for specific sizes of integer data types, and also use appropriate suffixes for integer literal constants, e.g.:

#include <stdint.h>

int64_t i2 = 0x0000444400004444LL;

R object identification

I usually start out with some combination of:

typeof(obj)
class(obj)
sapply(obj, class)
sapply(obj, attributes)
attributes(obj)
names(obj)

as appropriate based on what's revealed. For example, try with:

obj <- data.frame(a=1:26, b=letters)
obj <- list(a=1:26, b=letters, c=list(d=1:26, e=letters))
data(cars)
obj <- lm(dist ~ speed, data=cars)

..etc.

If obj is an S3 or S4 object, you can also try methods or showMethods, showClass, etc. Patrick Burns' R Inferno has a pretty good section on this (sec #7).

EDIT: Dirk and Hadley mention str(obj) in their answers. It really is much better than any of the above for a quick and even detailed peek into an object.

ldap query for group members

The good way to get all the members from a group is to, make the DN of the group as the searchDN and pass the "member" as attribute to get in the search function. All of the members of the group can now be found by going through the attribute values returned by the search. The filter can be made generic like (objectclass=*).

How to add item to the beginning of List<T>?

Use Insert method of List<T>:

List.Insert Method (Int32, T): Inserts an element into the List at the specified index.

var names = new List<string> { "John", "Anna", "Monica" };
names.Insert(0, "Micheal"); // Insert to the first element

An object reference is required to access a non-static member

playSound is a static method in your class, but you are referring to members like audioSounds or minTime which are not declared static so they would require a SoundManager sm = new SoundManager(); to operate as sm.audioSounds or sm.minTime respectively

Solution:

public static List<AudioSource> audioSounds = new List<AudioSource>();
public static double minTime = 0.5;

BATCH file asks for file or folder

I had exactly the same problem, where is wanted to copy a file into an external hard drive for backup purposes. If I wanted to copy a complete folder, then COPY was quite happy to create the destination folder and populate it with all the files. However, I wanted to copy a file once a day and add today's date to the file. COPY was happy to copy the file and rename it in the new format, but only as long as the destination folder already existed.

my copy command looked like this:

COPY C:\SRCFOLDER\MYFILE.doc D:\DESTFOLDER\MYFILE_YYYYMMDD.doc

Like you, I looked around for alternative switches or other copy type commands, but nothing really worked like I wanted it to. Then I thought about splitting out the two different requirements by simply adding a make directory ( MD or MKDIR ) command before the copy command.

So now i have

MKDIR D:\DESTFOLDER

COPY C:\SRCFOLDER\MYFILE.doc D:\DESTFOLDER\MYFILE_YYYYMMDD.doc

If the destination folder does NOT exist, then it creates it. If the destination folder DOES exist, then it generates an error message.. BUT, this does not stop the batch file from continuing on to the copy command.

The error message says: A subdirectory or file D:\DESTFOLDER already exists

As i said, the error message doesn't stop the batch file working and it is a really simple fix to the problem.

Hope that this helps.

Push items into mongo array via mongoose

First I tried this code

const peopleSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  friends: [
    {
      firstName: String,
      lastName: String,
    },
  ],
});
const People = mongoose.model("person", peopleSchema);
const first = new Note({
  name: "Yash Salvi",
  notes: [
    {
      firstName: "Johnny",
      lastName: "Johnson",
    },
  ],
});
first.save();
const friendNew = {
  firstName: "Alice",
  lastName: "Parker",
};
People.findOneAndUpdate(
  { name: "Yash Salvi" },
  { $push: { friends: friendNew } },
  function (error, success) {
    if (error) {
      console.log(error);
    } else {
      console.log(success);
    }
  }
);

But I noticed that only first friend (i.e. Johhny Johnson) gets saved and the objective to push array element in existing array of "friends" doesn't seem to work as when I run the code , in database in only shows "First friend" and "friends" array has only one element ! So the simple solution is written below

const peopleSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  friends: [
    {
      firstName: String,
      lastName: String,
    },
  ],
});
const People = mongoose.model("person", peopleSchema);
const first = new Note({
  name: "Yash Salvi",
  notes: [
    {
      firstName: "Johnny",
      lastName: "Johnson",
    },
  ],
});
first.save();
const friendNew = {
  firstName: "Alice",
  lastName: "Parker",
};
People.findOneAndUpdate(
  { name: "Yash Salvi" },
  { $push: { friends: friendNew } },
  { upsert: true }
);

Adding "{ upsert: true }" solved problem in my case and once code is saved and I run it , I see that "friends" array now has 2 elements ! The upsert = true option creates the object if it doesn't exist. default is set to false.

if it doesn't work use below snippet

People.findOneAndUpdate(
  { name: "Yash Salvi" },
  { $push: { friends: friendNew } },
).exec();

How to do left join in Doctrine?

If you have an association on a property pointing to the user (let's say Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory#user, picked from your example), then the syntax is quite simple:

public function getHistory($users) {
    $qb = $this->entityManager->createQueryBuilder();
    $qb
        ->select('a', 'u')
        ->from('Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory', 'a')
        ->leftJoin('a.user', 'u')
        ->where('u = :user')
        ->setParameter('user', $users)
        ->orderBy('a.created_at', 'DESC');

    return $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
}

Since you are applying a condition on the joined result here, using a LEFT JOIN or simply JOIN is the same.

If no association is available, then the query looks like following

public function getHistory($users) {
    $qb = $this->entityManager->createQueryBuilder();
    $qb
        ->select('a', 'u')
        ->from('Credit\Entity\UserCreditHistory', 'a')
        ->leftJoin(
            'User\Entity\User',
            'u',
            \Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\Join::WITH,
            'a.user = u.id'
        )
        ->where('u = :user')
        ->setParameter('user', $users)
        ->orderBy('a.created_at', 'DESC');

    return $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
}

This will produce a resultset that looks like following:

array(
    array(
        0 => UserCreditHistory instance,
        1 => Userinstance,
    ),
    array(
        0 => UserCreditHistory instance,
        1 => Userinstance,
    ),
    // ...
)

Using Application context everywhere?

In my experience this approach shouldn't be necessary. If you need the context for anything you can usually get it via a call to View.getContext() and using the Context obtained there you can call Context.getApplicationContext() to get the Application context. If you are trying to get the Application context this from an Activity you can always call Activity.getApplication() which should be able to be passed as the Context needed for a call to SQLiteOpenHelper().

Overall there doesn't seem to be a problem with your approach for this situation, but when dealing with Context just make sure you are not leaking memory anywhere as described on the official Google Android Developers blog.

Get week of year in JavaScript like in PHP

now = new Date();
today = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate());
firstOfYear = new Date(now.getFullYear(), 0, 1);

form_for but to post to a different action

If you want to pass custom Controller to a form_for while rendering a partial form you can use this:

<%= render 'form', :locals => {:controller => 'my_controller', :action => 'my_action'}%>

and then in the form partial use this local variable like this:

<%= form_for(:post, :url => url_for(:controller => locals[:controller], :action => locals[:action]), html: {class: ""} ) do |f| -%>

How do I get the time difference between two DateTime objects using C#?

The way I usually do it is subtracting the two DateTime and this gets me a TimeSpan that will tell me the diff.

Here's an example:

DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
// Do some work
TimeSpan timeDiff = DateTime.Now - start;
timeDiff.TotalMilliseconds;

Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace error in Eclipse

EASIEST WAY: Right click on the project (folder that reads "MainActivity") go to Refactor -> Rename and you will get a text field allowing you to rename your project.

If you get an alert saying your project is out of sync with the filesystem press F5 (refresh) and try again.

How to include a font .ttf using CSS?

Only providing .ttf file for webfont won't be good enough for cross-browser support. The best possible combination at present is using the combination as :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

This code assumes you have .eot , .woff , .ttf and svg format for you webfont. To automate all this process , you can use : Transfonter.org.

Also , modern browsers are shifting towards .woff font , so you can probably do this too : :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
   url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
}

How to pass values between Fragments

As noted at developer site

Often you will want one Fragment to communicate with another, for example to change the content based on a user event. All Fragment-to-Fragment communication is done through the associated Activity. Two Fragments should never communicate directly.

communication between fragments should be done through the associated Activity.

Let's have the following components:

An activity hosts fragments and allow fragments communication

FragmentA first fragment which will send data

FragmentB second fragment which will receive datas from FragmentA

FragmentA's implementation is:

public class FragmentA extends Fragment 
{
    DataPassListener mCallback;
    
    public interface DataPassListener{
        public void passData(String data);
    }

    @Override
    public void onAttach(Context context) 
    {
        super.onAttach(context);
        // This makes sure that the host activity has implemented the callback interface
        // If not, it throws an exception
        try 
        {
            mCallback = (OnImageClickListener) context;
        }
        catch (ClassCastException e) 
        {
            throw new ClassCastException(context.toString()+ " must implement OnImageClickListener");
        }
    }
    
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        // Suppose that when a button clicked second FragmentB will be inflated
        // some data on FragmentA will pass FragmentB
        // Button passDataButton = (Button).........
        
        passDataButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (view.getId() == R.id.passDataButton) {
                    mCallback.passData("Text to pass FragmentB");
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

MainActivity implementation is:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements DataPassListener{
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        if (findViewById(R.id.container) != null) {
            if (savedInstanceState != null) {
                return;
            }
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.container, new FragmentA()).commit();
        }
    }
    
    @Override
    public void passData(String data) {
        FragmentB fragmentB = new FragmentB ();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString(FragmentB.DATA_RECEIVE, data);
        fragmentB .setArguments(args);
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.container, fragmentB )
            .commit();
    }
}

FragmentB implementation is:

public class FragmentB extends Fragment{
    final static String DATA_RECEIVE = "data_receive";
    TextView showReceivedData;
    
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_B, container, false);
        showReceivedData = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.showReceivedData);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        Bundle args = getArguments();
        if (args != null) {
            showReceivedData.setText(args.getString(DATA_RECEIVE));
        }
    }
}

I hope this will help..

REST API error return good practices

I know this is extremely late to the party, but now, in year 2013, we have a few media types to cover error handling in a common distributed (RESTful) fashion. See "vnd.error", application/vnd.error+json (https://github.com/blongden/vnd.error) and "Problem Details for HTTP APIs", application/problem+json (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-problem-05).

How do I obtain a list of all schemas in a Sql Server database

You can also query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA view:

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA

I believe querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views is recommended as they protect you from changes to the underlying sys tables. From the SQL Server 2008 R2 Help:

Information schema views provide an internal, system table-independent view of the SQL Server metadata. Information schema views enable applications to work correctly although significant changes have been made to the underlying system tables. The information schema views included in SQL Server comply with the ISO standard definition for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.

Ironically, this is immediately preceded by this note:

Some changes have been made to the information schema views that break backward compatibility. These changes are described in the topics for the specific views.

How to set different colors in HTML in one statement?

Use the span tag

<style>
    .redText
    {
        color:red;
    }
    .blackText
    {
        color:black;
        font-weight:bold;
    }
</style>

<span class="redText">My Name is:</span>&nbsp;<span class="blackText">Tintincute</span>

It's also a good idea to avoid inline styling. Use a custom CSS class instead.

Rolling or sliding window iterator?

Trying my part, simple, one liner, pythonic way using islice. But, may not be optimally efficient.

from itertools import islice
array = range(0, 10)
window_size = 4
map(lambda i: list(islice(array, i, i + window_size)), range(0, len(array) - window_size + 1))
# output = [[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 3, 4, 5], [3, 4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6, 7], [5, 6, 7, 8], [6, 7, 8, 9]]

Explanation: Create window by using islice of window_size and iterate this operation using map over all array.

How do I perform a GROUP BY on an aliased column in MS-SQL Server?

Unfortunately you can't reference your alias in the GROUP BY statement, you'll have to write the logic again, amazing as that seems.

SELECT       LastName + ', ' + FirstName AS 'FullName'
FROM         customers
GROUP BY     LastName + ', ' + FirstName

Alternately you could put the select into a subselect or common table expression, after which you could group on the column name (no longer an alias.)

How to replace captured groups only?

A simplier option is to just capture the digits and replace them.

const matcher = /(\d+)/;_x000D_
_x000D_
// Replace with whatever you would like_x000D_
const newName = name.replace(matcher, 'NEW_STUFF');_x000D_
console.log("Full replace", newName);_x000D_
_x000D_
// Perform work on the match and replace using a function_x000D_
// In this case increment it using an arrow function_x000D_
const incrementedName = name.replace(matcher, (match) => ++match);_x000D_
console.log("Increment", incrementedName);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How can I get all element values from Request.Form without specifying exactly which one with .GetValues("ElementIdName")

Request.Form is a NameValueCollection. In NameValueCollection you can find the GetAllValues() method.

Verify host key with pysftp

One option is to disable the host key requirement:

import pysftp
cnopts = pysftp.CnOpts()
cnopts.hostkeys = None   
with pysftp.Connection(host, username, password, cnopts=cnopts) as sftp:
    sftp.put(local_path, remote_path)

You can find more info about that here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38355117/1060738

Important note:

By setting cnopts.hostkeys=None you'll lose the protection against Man-in-the-middle attacks by doing so. Use @martin-prikryl answer to avoid that.

Best way to run scheduled tasks

I'm not sure what kind of scheduled tasks you mean. If you mean stuff like "every hour, refresh foo.xml" type tasks, then use the Windows Scheduled Tasks system. (The "at" command, or via the controller.) Have it either run a console app or request a special page that kicks off the process.

Edit: I should add, this is an OK way to get your IIS app running at scheduled points too. So suppose you want to check your DB every 30 minutes and email reminders to users about some data, you can use scheduled tasks to request this page and hence get IIS processing things.

If your needs are more complex, you might consider creating a Windows Service and having it run a loop to do whatever processing you need. This also has the benefit of separating out the code for scaling or management purposes. On the downside, you need to deal with Windows services.

Jquery Smooth Scroll To DIV - Using ID value from Link

You can do this:

$('.searchbychar').click(function () {
    var divID = '#' + this.id;
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollTop: $(divID).offset().top
    }, 2000);
});

F.Y.I.

  • You need to prefix a class name with a . (dot) like in your first line of code.
  • $( 'searchbychar' ).click(function() {
  • Also, your code $('.searchbychar').attr('id') will return a string ID not a jQuery object. Hence, you can not apply .offset() method to it.

When use getOne and findOne methods Spring Data JPA

The getOne methods returns only the reference from DB (lazy loading). So basically you are outside the transaction (the Transactional you have been declare in service class is not considered), and the error occur.

Why when a constructor is annotated with @JsonCreator, its arguments must be annotated with @JsonProperty?

Jackson has to know in what order to pass fields from a JSON object to the constructor. It is not possible to access parameter names in Java using reflection - that's why you have to repeat this information in annotations.

Add / remove input field dynamically with jQuery

You need to create the element.

input = jQuery('<input name="myname">');

and then append it to the form.

to remove an input you use the remove functionality.

jQuery('#inputid').remove();

This is the basic idea, you may have feildsets that you append it too instead, or maybe append it after a specific element, but this is how to build anything dynamically really.

How do I Alter Table Column datatype on more than 1 column?

Use the following syntax:

  ALTER TABLE your_table
  MODIFY COLUMN column1 datatype,
  MODIFY COLUMN column2 datatype,
  ... ... ... ... ... 
  ... ... ... ... ...

Based on that, your ALTER command should be:

  ALTER TABLE webstore.Store
  MODIFY COLUMN ShortName VARCHAR(100),
  MODIFY COLUMN UrlShort VARCHAR(100)

Note that:

  1. There are no second brackets around the MODIFY statements.
  2. I used two separate MODIFY statements for two separate columns.

This is the standard format of the MODIFY statement for an ALTER command on multiple columns in a MySQL table.

Take a look at the following: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html and Alter multiple columns in a single statement

Create empty data frame with column names by assigning a string vector?

How about:

To do all these operations in one-liner:

setNames(data.frame(matrix(ncol = 3, nrow = 0)), c("name", "age", "gender"))

#[1] name   age    gender
#<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Or

data.frame(matrix(ncol=3,nrow=0, dimnames=list(NULL, c("name", "age", "gender"))))

How do I pass variables and data from PHP to JavaScript?

There are actually several approaches to do this. Some require more overhead than others, and some are considered better than others.

In no particular order:

  1. Use AJAX to get the data you need from the server.
  2. Echo the data into the page somewhere, and use JavaScript to get the information from the DOM.
  3. Echo the data directly to JavaScript.

In this post, we'll examine each of the above methods, and see the pros and cons of each, as well as how to implement them.

1. Use AJAX to get the data you need from the server

This method is considered the best, because your server side and client side scripts are completely separate.

Pros

  • Better separation between layers - If tomorrow you stop using PHP, and want to move to a servlet, a REST API, or some other service, you don't have to change much of the JavaScript code.
  • More readable - JavaScript is JavaScript, PHP is PHP. Without mixing the two, you get more readable code on both languages.
  • Allows for asynchronous data transfer - Getting the information from PHP might be time/resources expensive. Sometimes you just don't want to wait for the information, load the page, and have the information reach whenever.
  • Data is not directly found on the markup - This means that your markup is kept clean of any additional data, and only JavaScript sees it.

Cons

  • Latency - AJAX creates an HTTP request, and HTTP requests are carried over network and have network latencies.
  • State - Data fetched via a separate HTTP request won't include any information from the HTTP request that fetched the HTML document. You may need this information (e.g., if the HTML document is generated in response to a form submission) and, if you do, will have to transfer it across somehow. If you have ruled out embedding the data in the page (which you have if you are using this technique) then that limits you to cookies/sessions which may be subject to race conditions.

Implementation Example

With AJAX, you need two pages, one is where PHP generates the output, and the second is where JavaScript gets that output:

get-data.php

/* Do some operation here, like talk to the database, the file-session
 * The world beyond, limbo, the city of shimmers, and Canada.
 *
 * AJAX generally uses strings, but you can output JSON, HTML and XML as well.
 * It all depends on the Content-type header that you send with your AJAX
 * request. */

echo json_encode(42); // In the end, you need to echo the result.
                      // All data should be json_encode()d.

                      // You can json_encode() any value in PHP, arrays, strings,
                      //even objects.

index.php (or whatever the actual page is named like)

<!-- snip -->
<script>
    function reqListener () {
      console.log(this.responseText);
    }

    var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest(); // New request object
    oReq.onload = function() {
        // This is where you handle what to do with the response.
        // The actual data is found on this.responseText
        alert(this.responseText); // Will alert: 42
    };
    oReq.open("get", "get-data.php", true);
    //                               ^ Don't block the rest of the execution.
    //                                 Don't wait until the request finishes to
    //                                 continue.
    oReq.send();
</script>
<!-- snip -->

The above combination of the two files will alert 42 when the file finishes loading.

Some more reading material

2. Echo the data into the page somewhere, and use JavaScript to get the information from the DOM

This method is less preferable to AJAX, but it still has its advantages. It's still relatively separated between PHP and JavaScript in a sense that there is no PHP directly in the JavaScript.

Pros

  • Fast - DOM operations are often quick, and you can store and access a lot of data relatively quickly.

Cons

  • Potentially Unsemantic Markup - Usually, what happens is that you use some sort of <input type=hidden> to store the information, because it's easier to get the information out of inputNode.value, but doing so means that you have a meaningless element in your HTML. HTML has the <meta> element for data about the document, and HTML 5 introduces data-* attributes for data specifically for reading with JavaScript that can be associated with particular elements.
  • Dirties up the Source - Data that PHP generates is outputted directly to the HTML source, meaning that you get a bigger and less focused HTML source.
  • Harder to get structured data - Structured data will have to be valid HTML, otherwise you'll have to escape and convert strings yourself.
  • Tightly couples PHP to your data logic - Because PHP is used in presentation, you can't separate the two cleanly.

Implementation Example

With this, the idea is to create some sort of element which will not be displayed to the user, but is visible to JavaScript.

index.php

<!-- snip -->
<div id="dom-target" style="display: none;">
    <?php
        $output = "42"; // Again, do some operation, get the output.
        echo htmlspecialchars($output); /* You have to escape because the result
                                           will not be valid HTML otherwise. */
    ?>
</div>
<script>
    var div = document.getElementById("dom-target");
    var myData = div.textContent;
</script>
<!-- snip -->

3. Echo the data directly to JavaScript

This is probably the easiest to understand.

Pros

  • Very easily implemented - It takes very little to implement this, and understand.
  • Does not dirty source - Variables are outputted directly to JavaScript, so the DOM is not affected.

Cons

  • Tightly couples PHP to your data logic - Because PHP is used in presentation, you can't separate the two cleanly.

Implementation Example

Implementation is relatively straightforward:

<!-- snip -->
<script>
    var data = <?php echo json_encode("42", JSON_HEX_TAG); ?>; // Don't forget the extra semicolon!
</script>
<!-- snip -->

Good luck!

Does Python have an argc argument?

dir(sys) says no. len(sys.argv) works, but in Python it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission, so

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
try:
    in_file = open(sys.argv[1], "r")
except:
    sys.exit("ERROR. Can't read supplied filename.")
text = in_file.read()
print(text)
in_file.close()

works fine and is shorter.

If you're going to exit anyway, this would be better:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
text = open(sys.argv[1], "r").read()
print(text)

I'm using print() so it works in 2.7 as well as Python 3.

Suppress InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made in Python2.6

That's probably useful for someone, who uses unittest, if imported modules use request library. To suppress warnings in requests' vendored urllib3, add

warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', message='Unverified HTTPS request')

to setUp method in your testclass, i.e:

import unittest, warnings

class MyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    
    def setUp(self):
        warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', message='Unverified HTTPS request')
    
    (all test methods here)

Access Session attribute on jstl

You don't need the jsp:useBean to set the model if you already have a controller which prepared the model.

Just access it plain by EL:

<p>${Questions.questionPaperID}</p>
<p>${Questions.question}</p>

or by JSTL <c:out> tag if you'd like to HTML-escape the values or when you're still working on legacy Servlet 2.3 containers or older when EL wasn't supported in template text yet:

<p><c:out value="${Questions.questionPaperID}" /></p>
<p><c:out value="${Questions.question}" /></p>

See also:


Unrelated to the problem, the normal practice is by the way to start attribute name with a lowercase, like you do with normal variable names.

session.setAttribute("questions", questions);

and alter EL accordingly to use ${questions}.

Also note that you don't have any JSTL tag in your code. It's all plain JSP.

  1. yum remove mariadb mariadb-server
  2. rm -rf /var/lib/mysql If your datadir in /etc/my.cnf points to a different directory, remove that directory instead of /var/lib/mysql
  3. rm /etc/my.cnf the file might have already been deleted at step 1
  4. Optional step: rm ~/.my.cnf
  5. yum install mariadb mariadb-server

[EDIT] - Update for MariaDB 10.1 on CentOS 7

The steps above worked for CentOS 6.5 and MariaDB 10.

I've just installed MariaDB 10.1 on CentOS 7 and some of the steps are slightly different.

Step 1 would become:

yum remove MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

Step 5 would become:

yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

The other steps remain the same.

Implementing a Custom Error page on an ASP.Net website

There are 2 ways to configure custom error pages for ASP.NET sites:

  1. Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (the GUI)
  2. web.config file

This article explains how to do each:

The reason your error.aspx page is not displaying might be because you have an error in your web.config. Try this instead:

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <customErrors defaultRedirect="error.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly">
         <error statusCode="404" redirect="error.aspx"/>
      </customErrors>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

You might need to make sure that Error Pages in IIS Manager - Feature Delegation is set to Read/Write:

IIS Manager: Feature Delegation panel

Also, this answer may help you configure the web.config file:

Installing a specific version of angular with angular cli

The angular/cli versions and their installed angular/compiler versions:

  • 1.0 - 1.4.x = ^4.0.0
  • 1.5.x = ^5.0.0
  • 1.6.x - 1.7.x = ^5.2.0
  • 6.x = ^6.0.0
  • 7.x = ^7.0.0

Can be confirmed by reviewing the angular/cli's package.json file in the repository newer repository. One would have to install the specific cli version to get the specific angular version:

npm -g install @angular/[email protected].* # For ^5.0.0

Does Android keep the .apk files? if so where?

If you just want to get an APK file of something you previously installed, do this:

  1. Get AirDroid from Google Play
  2. Access your phone using AirDroid from your PC web browser
  3. Go to Apps and select the installed app
  4. Click the "download" button to download the APK version of this app from your phone

You don't need to root your phone, use adb, or write anything.

How can I order a List<string>?

List<string> myCollection = new List<string>()
{
    "Bob", "Bob","Alex", "Abdi", "Abdi", "Bob", "Alex", "Bob","Abdi"
};

myCollection.Sort();
foreach (var name in myCollection.Distinct())
{
    Console.WriteLine(name + " " + myCollection.Count(x=> x == name));
}

output: Abdi 3 Alex 2 Bob 4

How to sum a variable by group

How to test if list element exists?

A slight modified version of @salient.salamander , if one wants to check on full path, this can be used.

Element_Exists_Check = function( full_index_path ){
  tryCatch({
    len_element = length(full_index_path)
    exists_indicator = ifelse(len_element > 0, T, F)
      return(exists_indicator)
  }, error = function(e) {
    return(F)
  })
}

Difference between [routerLink] and routerLink

Assume that you have

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  {path: 'recipes', component: RecipesComponent }
];

<a routerLink ="recipes">Recipes</a>

It means that clicking Recipes hyperlink will jump to http://localhost:4200/recipes

Assume that the parameter is 1

<a [routerLink] = "['/recipes', parameter]"></a>

It means that passing dynamic parameter, 1 to the link, then you navigate to http://localhost:4200/recipes/1

How to view UTF-8 Characters in VIM or Gvim

Is this problem solved meanwhile?

I had the problem that gvim didn't display all unicode characters (but only a subset, including the umlauts and accented characters), while :set guifont? was empty; see my question. After reading here, setting the guifont to a sensible value fixed it for me. However, I don't need characters beyond 2 bytes.

How to build an android library with Android Studio and gradle?

I just had a very similar issues with gradle builds / adding .jar library. I got it working by a combination of :

  1. Moving the libs folder up to the root of the project (same directory as 'src'), and adding the library to this folder in finder (using Mac OS X)
  2. In Android Studio, Right-clicking on the folder to add as library
  3. Editing the dependencies in the build.gradle file, adding compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')}

BUT more importantly and annoyingly, only hours after I get it working, Android Studio have just released 0.3.7, which claims to have solved a lot of gradle issues such as adding .jar libraries

How is OAuth 2 different from OAuth 1?

OAuth 2 is apparently a waste of time (from the mouth of someone that was heavily involved in it):

https://hueniverse.com/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell-8eec45921529

He says (edited for brevity and bolded for emphasis):

...I can no longer be associated with the OAuth 2.0 standard. I resigned my role as lead author and editor, withdraw my name from the specification, and left the working group. Removing my name from a document I have painstakingly labored over for three years and over two dozen drafts was not easy. Deciding to move on from an effort I have led for over five years was agonizing.

...At the end, I reached the conclusion that OAuth 2.0 is a bad protocol. WS-* bad. It is bad enough that I no longer want to be associated with it. ...When compared with OAuth 1.0, the 2.0 specification is more complex, less interoperable, less useful, more incomplete, and most importantly, less secure.

To be clear, OAuth 2.0 at the hand of a developer with deep understanding of web security will likely result is a secure implementation. However, at the hands of most developers – as has been the experience from the past two years – 2.0 is likely to produce insecure implementations.

OWIN Startup Class Missing

I had this problem, understand this isn't what was wrong in the OP's case, but in my case I did have a Startup class, it just wasn't finding it by default.

My problem was the I had spaces in my Assembly Name, and hence the default namespace was different from assembly name, hence the namespace for the startup class was different than the assembly name.

As the error suggests, by convention it looks for [Assembly Name].Startup for the class... so be sure the namespace for your Startup class is the same as the Assembly name. Fixed the problem for me.

How to replace a string in multiple files in linux command line

"You could also use find and sed, but I find that this little line of perl works nicely.

perl -pi -w -e 's/search/replace/g;' *.php
  • -e means execute the following line of code.
  • -i means edit in-place
  • -w write warnings
  • -p loop

" (Extracted from http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/linux_search_and_replace_multiple_files.php)

My best results come from using perl and grep (to ensure that file have the search expression )

perl -pi -w -e 's/search/replace/g;' $( grep -rl 'search' )

Difference between ${} and $() in Bash

The syntax is token-level, so the meaning of the dollar sign depends on the token it's in. The expression $(command) is a modern synonym for `command` which stands for command substitution; it means run command and put its output here. So

echo "Today is $(date). A fine day."

will run the date command and include its output in the argument to echo. The parentheses are unrelated to the syntax for running a command in a subshell, although they have something in common (the command substitution also runs in a separate subshell).

By contrast, ${variable} is just a disambiguation mechanism, so you can say ${var}text when you mean the contents of the variable var, followed by text (as opposed to $vartext which means the contents of the variable vartext).

The while loop expects a single argument which should evaluate to true or false (or actually multiple, where the last one's truth value is examined -- thanks Jonathan Leffler for pointing this out); when it's false, the loop is no longer executed. The for loop iterates over a list of items and binds each to a loop variable in turn; the syntax you refer to is one (rather generalized) way to express a loop over a range of arithmetic values.

A for loop like that can be rephrased as a while loop. The expression

for ((init; check; step)); do
    body
done

is equivalent to

init
while check; do
    body
    step
done

It makes sense to keep all the loop control in one place for legibility; but as you can see when it's expressed like this, the for loop does quite a bit more than the while loop.

Of course, this syntax is Bash-specific; classic Bourne shell only has

for variable in token1 token2 ...; do

(Somewhat more elegantly, you could avoid the echo in the first example as long as you are sure that your argument string doesn't contain any % format codes:

date +'Today is %c. A fine day.'

Avoiding a process where you can is an important consideration, even though it doesn't make a lot of difference in this isolated example.)

How to determine when Fragment becomes visible in ViewPager

I encountered the same problem while working with FragmentStatePagerAdapters and 3 tabs. I had to show a Dilaog whenever the 1st tab was clicked and hide it on clicking other tabs.

Overriding setUserVisibleHint() alone didn't help to find the current visible fragment.

When clicking from 3rd tab -----> 1st tab. It triggered twice for 2nd fragment and for 1st fragment. I combined it with isResumed() method.

    @Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    isVisible = isVisibleToUser;

    // Make sure that fragment is currently visible
    if (!isVisible && isResumed()) {
        // Call code when Fragment not visible
    } else if (isVisible && isResumed()) {
       // Call code when Fragment becomes visible.
    }

}

process.start() arguments

Try fully qualifying the filenames in the arguments - I notice you're specifying the path in the FileName part, so it's possible that the process is being started elsewhere, then not finding the arguments and causing an error.

If that works, then setting the WorkingDirectory property on the StartInfo may be of use.

Actually, according to the link

The WorkingDirectory property must be set if UserName and Password are provided. If the property is not set, the default working directory is %SYSTEMROOT%\system32.

SVN check out linux

There should be svn utility on you box, if installed:

$ svn checkout http://example.com/svn/somerepo somerepo

This will check out a working copy from a specified repository to a directory somerepo on our file system.

You may want to print commands, supported by this utility:

$ svn help

uname -a output in your question is identical to one, used by Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 4.0 kernel, which is based on Red Hat 5 kernel, thus your friends are rpm or the following command:

$ sudo yum install subversion

Git - Pushing code to two remotes

In recent versions of Git you can add multiple pushurls for a given remote. Use the following to add two pushurls to your origin:

git remote set-url --add --push origin git://original/repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push origin git://another/repo.git

So when you push to origin, it will push to both repositories.

UPDATE 1: Git 1.8.0.1 and 1.8.1 (and possibly other versions) seem to have a bug that causes --add to replace the original URL the first time you use it, so you need to re-add the original URL using the same command. Doing git remote -v should reveal the current URLs for each remote.

UPDATE 2: Junio C. Hamano, the Git maintainer, explained it's how it was designed. Doing git remote set-url --add --push <remote_name> <url> adds a pushurl for a given remote, which overrides the default URL for pushes. However, you may add multiple pushurls for a given remote, which then allows you to push to multiple remotes using a single git push. You can verify this behavior below:

$ git clone git://original/repo.git
$ git remote -v
origin  git://original/repo.git (fetch)
origin  git://original/repo.git (push)
$ git config -l | grep '^remote\.'
remote.origin.url=git://original/repo.git
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Now, if you want to push to two or more repositories using a single command, you may create a new remote named all (as suggested by @Adam Nelson in comments), or keep using the origin, though the latter name is less descriptive for this purpose. If you still want to use origin, skip the following step, and use origin instead of all in all other steps.

So let's add a new remote called all that we'll reference later when pushing to multiple repositories:

$ git remote add all git://original/repo.git
$ git remote -v
all git://original/repo.git (fetch)               <-- ADDED
all git://original/repo.git (push)                <-- ADDED
origin  git://original/repo.git (fetch)
origin  git://original/repo.git (push)
$ git config -l | grep '^remote\.all'
remote.all.url=git://original/repo.git            <-- ADDED
remote.all.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/all/* <-- ADDED

Then let's add a pushurl to the all remote, pointing to another repository:

$ git remote set-url --add --push all git://another/repo.git
$ git remote -v
all git://original/repo.git (fetch)
all git://another/repo.git (push)                 <-- CHANGED
origin  git://original/repo.git (fetch)
origin  git://original/repo.git (push)
$ git config -l | grep '^remote\.all'
remote.all.url=git://original/repo.git
remote.all.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/all/*
remote.all.pushurl=git://another/repo.git         <-- ADDED

Here git remote -v shows the new pushurl for push, so if you do git push all master, it will push the master branch to git://another/repo.git only. This shows how pushurl overrides the default url (remote.all.url).

Now let's add another pushurl pointing to the original repository:

$ git remote set-url --add --push all git://original/repo.git
$ git remote -v
all git://original/repo.git (fetch)
all git://another/repo.git (push)
all git://original/repo.git (push)                <-- ADDED
origin  git://original/repo.git (fetch)
origin  git://original/repo.git (push)
$ git config -l | grep '^remote\.all'
remote.all.url=git://original/repo.git
remote.all.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/all/*
remote.all.pushurl=git://another/repo.git
remote.all.pushurl=git://original/repo.git        <-- ADDED

You see both pushurls we added are kept. Now a single git push all master will push the master branch to both git://another/repo.git and git://original/repo.git.

What are the differences between 'call-template' and 'apply-templates' in XSL?

xsl:apply-templates is usually (but not necessarily) used to process all or a subset of children of the current node with all applicable templates. This supports the recursiveness of XSLT application which is matching the (possible) recursiveness of the processed XML.

xsl:call-template on the other hand is much more like a normal function call. You execute exactly one (named) template, usually with one or more parameters.

So I use xsl:apply-templates if I want to intercept the processing of an interesting node and (usually) inject something into the output stream. A typical (simplified) example would be

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <bar>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </bar>
</xsl:template>

whereas with xsl:call-template I typically solve problems like adding the text of some subnodes together, transforming select nodesets into text or other nodesets and the like - anything you would write a specialized, reusable function for.

Edit:

As an additional remark to your specific question text:

<xsl:call-template name="nodes"/> 

This calls a template which is named 'nodes':

    <xsl:template name="nodes">...</xsl:template>

This is a different semantic than:

<xsl:apply-templates select="nodes"/>

...which applies all templates to all children of your current XML node whose name is 'nodes'.

How do I prevent a parent's onclick event from firing when a child anchor is clicked?

You can check whether the target is not your div-element and then issue another click event on the parent after which you will "return" from the handle.

$('clickable').click(function (event) {
    let div = $(event.target);
    if (! div.is('div')) {
       div.parent().click();
       return;
    }
    // Then Implement your logic here
}

Using getopts to process long and short command line options

if simply this is how you want to call the script

myscript.sh --input1 "ABC" --input2 "PQR" --input2 "XYZ"

then you can follow this simplest way to achieve it with the help of getopt and --longoptions

try this , hope this is useful

# Read command line options
ARGUMENT_LIST=(
    "input1"
    "input2"
    "input3"
)



# read arguments
opts=$(getopt \
    --longoptions "$(printf "%s:," "${ARGUMENT_LIST[@]}")" \
    --name "$(basename "$0")" \
    --options "" \
    -- "$@"
)


echo $opts

eval set --$opts

while true; do
    case "$1" in
    --input1)  
        shift
        empId=$1
        ;;
    --input2)  
        shift

        ;;
    --input3)  
        shift
        toDate=$1

How to run certain task every day at a particular time using ScheduledExecutorService?

The following example work for me

public class DemoScheduler {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create a calendar instance
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

        // Set time of execution. Here, we have to run every day 4:20 PM; so,

OpenSSL and error in reading openssl.conf file

Just try to run openssl.exe as administrator.

React Native add bold or italics to single words in <Text> field

Nesting Text components is not possible now, but you can wrap your text in a View like this:

<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', flexWrap: 'wrap'}}>
    <Text>
        {'Hello '}
    </Text>
    <Text style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}>
        {'this is a bold text '}
    </Text>
    <Text>
        and this is not
    </Text>
</View>

I used the strings inside the brackets to force the space between words, but you can also achieve it with marginRight or marginLeft. Hope it helps.

Getting the class of the element that fired an event using JQuery

If you are using jQuery 1.7:

How Do I Upload Eclipse Projects to GitHub?

Jokab's answer helped me a lot but in my case I could not push to github until I logged in my github account to my git bash so i ran the following commands

git config credential.helper store

then

git push http://github.com/[user name]/[repo name].git

After the second command a GUI window appeared, I provided my login credentials and it worked for me.

Number of days between past date and current date in Google spreadsheet

Since this is the top Google answer for this, and it was way easier than I expected, here is the simple answer. Just subtract date1 from date2.

If this is your spreadsheet dates

     A            B
1 10/11/2017  12/1/2017

=(B1)-(A1)

results in 51, which is the number of days between a past date and a current date in Google spreadsheet

As long as it is a date format Google Sheets recognizes, you can directly subtract them and it will be correct.

To do it for a current date, just use the =TODAY() function.

=TODAY()-A1

While today works great, you can't use a date directly in the formula, you should referencing a cell that contains a date.

=(12/1/2017)-(10/1/2017) results in 0.0009915716411, not 61.

How to iterate object keys using *ngFor

I know this question is already answered but I have one solution for this same.

You can also use Object.keys() inside of *ngFor to get required result.

I have created a demo on stackblitz. I hope this will help/guide to you/others.

CODE SNIPPET

HTML Code

<div *ngFor="let key of Object.keys(myObj)">
  <p>Key-> {{key}} and value is -> {{myObj[key]}}</p>
</div>

.ts file code

Object = Object;

myObj = {
    "id": 834,
    "first_name": "GS",
    "last_name": "Shahid",
    "phone": "1234567890",
    "role": null,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "picture": {
        "url": null,
        "thumb": {
            "url": null
        }
    },
    "address": "XYZ Colony",
    "city_id": 2,
    "provider": "email",
    "uid": "[email protected]"
}

No numeric types to aggregate - change in groupby() behaviour?

How are you generating your data?

See how the output shows that your data is of 'object' type? the groupby operations specifically check whether each column is a numeric dtype first.

In [31]: data
Out[31]: 
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
DatetimeIndex: 2557 entries, 2004-01-01 00:00:00 to 2010-12-31 00:00:00
Freq: <1 DateOffset>
Columns: 360 entries, -89.75 to 89.75
dtypes: object(360)

look ?


Did you initialize an empty DataFrame first and then filled it? If so that's probably why it changed with the new version as before 0.9 empty DataFrames were initialized to float type but now they are of object type. If so you can change the initialization to DataFrame(dtype=float).

You can also call frame.astype(float)

How to access share folder in virtualbox. Host Win7, Guest Fedora 16?

This thread has some great tips. However....

@GirishB's answer isn't correct - sorry. Jartender's is best.

Also, every post in here seems to assume you're logging in to the Linux guest as root, except for @tomoguisuru. Yuck! Don't use root, use a separate user account and "sudo" when you need root privileges. Then this user (or any other user who needs the shared folder) should have membership in the vboxsf group, and @tomoguisuru's command is perfect, even terser than what I use.

Forget running mount yourself. Set up the shared folder to auto mount and you'll find the shared folder - it's under /media in my OEL (RH and Centos probably the same). If it's not there, just run "mount" with no arguments and look for the mounted directory of type vboxsf.

"rm -rf" equivalent for Windows?

RMDIR or RD if you are using the classic Command Prompt (cmd.exe):

rd /s /q "path"

RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree.

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

If you are using PowerShell you can use Remove-Item (which is aliased to del, erase, rd, ri, rm and rmdir) and takes a -Recurse argument that can be shorted to -r

rd -r "path"

Changing the Git remote 'push to' default

You can use git push -u <remote_name> <local_branch_name> to set the default upstream. See the documentation for git push for more details.

Named tuple and default values for optional keyword arguments

Another solution:

import collections


def defaultargs(func, defaults):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        for key, value in (x for x in defaults[len(args):] if len(x) == 2):
            kwargs.setdefault(key, value)
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper


def namedtuple(name, fields):
    NamedTuple = collections.namedtuple(name, [x[0] for x in fields])
    NamedTuple.__new__ = defaultargs(NamedTuple.__new__, [(NamedTuple,)] + fields)
    return NamedTuple

Usage:

>>> Node = namedtuple('Node', [
...     ('val',),
...     ('left', None),
...     ('right', None),
... ])
__main__.Node

>>> Node(1)
Node(val=1, left=None, right=None)

>>> Node(1, 2, right=3)
Node(val=1, left=2, right=3)

Check last modified date of file in C#

Be aware that the function File.GetLastWriteTime does not always work as expected, the values are sometimes not instantaneously updated by the OS. You may get an old Timestamp, even if the file has been modified right before.

The behaviour may vary between OS versions. For example, this unit test worked well every time on my developer machine, but it always fails on our build server.

  [TestMethod]
  public void TestLastModifiedTimeStamps()
  {
     var tempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
     var lastModified = File.GetLastWriteTime(tempFile);
     using (new FileStream(tempFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
     {

     }
     Assert.AreNotEqual(lastModified, File.GetLastWriteTime(tempFile));
  }

See File.GetLastWriteTime seems to be returning 'out of date' value

Your options:

a) live with the occasional omissions.

b) Build up an active component realising the observer pattern (eg. a tcp server client structure), communicating the changes directly instead of writing / reading files. Fast and flexible, but another dependency and a possible point of failure (and some work, of course).

c) Ensure the signalling process by replacing the content of a dedicated signal file that other processes regularly read. It´s not that smart as it´s a polling procedure and has a greater overhead than calling File.GetLastWriteTime, but if not checking the content from too many places too often, it will do the work.

Java Set retain order?

The Set interface does not provide any ordering guarantees.

Its sub-interface SortedSet represents a set that is sorted according to some criterion. In Java 6, there are two standard containers that implement SortedSet. They are TreeSet and ConcurrentSkipListSet.

In addition to the SortedSet interface, there is also the LinkedHashSet class. It remembers the order in which the elements were inserted into the set, and returns its elements in that order.

How can I pad an int with leading zeros when using cout << operator?

cout.fill('*');
cout << -12345 << endl; // print default value with no field width
cout << setw(10) << -12345 << endl; // print default with field width
cout << setw(10) << left << -12345 << endl; // print left justified
cout << setw(10) << right << -12345 << endl; // print right justified
cout << setw(10) << internal << -12345 << endl; // print internally justified

This produces the output:

-12345
****-12345
-12345****
****-12345
-****12345

Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on null

First, you declared $db outside the function. If you want to use it inside the function, you should put this at the begining of your function code:

global $db;

And I guess, when you wrote:

if($result->num_rows){
        return (mysqli_result($query, 0) == 1) ? true : false;

what you really wanted was:

if ($result->num_rows==1) { return true; } else { return false; }

How do I get the directory that a program is running from?

For Windows system at console you can use system(dir) command. And console gives you information about directory and etc. Read about the dir command at cmd. But for Unix-like systems, I don't know... If this command is run, read bash command. ls does not display directory...

Example:

int main()
{
    system("dir");
    system("pause"); //this wait for Enter-key-press;
    return 0;
}

Find length of 2D array Python

What does this format means T00:00:00.000Z?

As one person may have already suggested,

I passed the ISO 8601 date string directly to moment like so...

`moment.utc('2019-11-03T05:00:00.000Z').format('MM/DD/YYYY')`

or

`moment('2019-11-03T05:00:00.000Z').utc().format('MM/DD/YYYY')`

either of these solutions will give you the same result.

`console.log(moment('2019-11-03T05:00:00.000Z').utc().format('MM/DD/YYYY')) // 11/3/2019`

Spring 3.0: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace

Make sure you have all dependencies solved

I run into this problem in my first attempt at AOP, following a spring tutorial. My problem was not having spring-aop.jar in my classpath. The tutorial listed all other dependencies I had to add, namely:

  • aspectjrt.jar
  • aspectjweaver.jar
  • aspectj.jar
  • aopalliance.jar

But the one was missing. Just one more problem that can contribute to that symptom in the original question.

I am using Eclipse (neon), Java SE 8, beans 3.0, spring AOP 3.0, Spring 4.3.4. The problem showed in the Java view --not JEE--, and while trying to just run the application with Right button menu -> Run As -> Java Application.

Saving awk output to variable

as noted earlier, setting bash variables does not allow whitespace between the variable name on the LHS, and the variable value on the RHS, of the '=' sign.

awk can do everything and avoid the "awk"ward extra 'grep'. The use of awk's printf is to not add an unnecessary "\n" in the string which would give perl-ish matcher programs conniptions. The variable/parameter expansion for your case in bash doesn't have that issue, so either of these work:

variable=$(ps -ef | awk '/port 10 \-/ {print $12}')

variable=`ps -ef | awk '/port 10 \-/ {print $12}'`

The '-' int the awk record matching pattern removes the need to remove awk itself from the search results.

A KeyValuePair in Java

Android programmers could use BasicNameValuePair

Update:

BasicNameValuePair is now deprecated (API 22). Use Pair instead.

String second = simplePair.second; // "Second"

Show values from a MySQL database table inside a HTML table on a webpage

Surely a better solution would by dynamic so that it would work for any query without having to know the column names?

If so, try this (obviously the query should match your database):

// You'll need to put your db connection details in here.
$conn = new mysqli($server_hostname, $server_username, $server_password, $server_database);

// Run the query.
$result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 10");

// Get the result in to a more usable format.
$query = array();
while($query[] = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result));
array_pop($query);

// Output a dynamic table of the results with column headings.
echo '<table border="1">';
echo '<tr>';
foreach($query[0] as $key => $value) {
    echo '<td>';
    echo $key;
    echo '</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
foreach($query as $row) {
    echo '<tr>';
    foreach($row as $column) {
        echo '<td>';
        echo $column;
        echo '</td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

How do I connect to a MySQL Database in Python?

Despite all answers above, in case you do not want to connect to a specific database upfront, for example, if you want to create the database still (!), you can use connection.select_db(database), as demonstrated in the following.

import pymysql.cursors
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
                         user='mahdi',
                         password='mahdi',
                         charset='utf8mb4',
                         cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS "+database)
connection.select_db(database)
sql_create = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "+tablename+(timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)"
cursor.execute(sql_create)
connection.commit()
cursor.close()

Start redis-server with config file

To start redis with a config file all you need to do is specifiy the config file as an argument:

redis-server /root/config/redis.rb

Instead of using and killing PID's I would suggest creating an init script for your service

I would suggest taking a look at the Installing Redis more properly section of http://redis.io/topics/quickstart. It will walk you through setting up an init script with redis so you can just do something like service redis_server start and service redis_server stop to control your server.

I am not sure exactly what distro you are using, that article describes instructions for a Debian based distro. If you are are using a RHEL/Fedora distro let me know, I can provide you with instructions for the last couple of steps, the config file and most of the other steps will be the same.

How to properly -filter multiple strings in a PowerShell copy script

-Filter only accepts a single string. -Include accepts multiple values, but qualifies the -Path argument. The trick is to append \* to the end of the path, and then use -Include to select multiple extensions. BTW, quoting strings is unnecessary in cmdlet arguments unless they contain spaces or shell special characters.

Get-ChildItem $originalPath\* -Include *.gif, *.jpg, *.xls*, *.doc*, *.pdf*, *.wav*, .ppt*

Note that this will work regardless of whether $originalPath ends in a backslash, because multiple consecutive backslashes are interpreted as a single path separator. For example, try:

Get-ChildItem C:\\\\\Windows

I don't understand why people are willing to work so hard to find a pure-CSS solution for simple columnar layouts that are SO EASY using the old TABLE tag.

All Browsers still have the table layout logic... Call me a dinosaur perhaps, but I say let it help you.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<table WIDTH=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>_x000D_
  <tr>_x000D_
    <td WIDTH="1" NOWRAP bgcolor="#E0E0E0">Tree</td>_x000D_
    <td bgcolor="#F0F0F0">View</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
</table>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Much less risky in terms of cross-browser compatibility too.

How to find out what the date was 5 days ago?

If you want a method in which you know the algorithm, or the functions mentioned in the previous answer aren't available: convert the date to Julian Day number (which is a way of counting days from January 1st, 4713 B.C), then subtract five, then convert back to calendar date (year, month, day). Sources of the algorithms for the two conversions is section 9 of http://www.hermetic.ch/cal_stud/jdn.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day

Remove empty strings from array while keeping record Without Loop?

Extract a single (unsigned) integer from a string

Since there is only 1 numeric value to isolate in your string, I would endorse and personally use filter_var() with FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT.

echo filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

A whackier technique which works because there is only 1 numeric value AND the only characters that come before the integer are alphanumeric, colon, or spaces is to use ltrim() with a character mask then cast the remaining string as an integer.

Demo

$string = "In My Cart : 11 items";
echo (int)ltrim($string, 'A..z: ');
// 11

If for some reason there was more than one integer value and you wanted to grab the first one, then regex would be a direct technique.

Demo

echo preg_match('/\d+/', $string, $m) ? $m[0] : '';

What is logits, softmax and softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits?

One more thing that I would definitely like to highlight as logit is just a raw output, generally the output of last layer. This can be a negative value as well. If we use it as it's for "cross entropy" evaluation as mentioned below:

-tf.reduce_sum(y_true * tf.log(logits))

then it wont work. As log of -ve is not defined. So using o softmax activation, will overcome this problem.

This is my understanding, please correct me if Im wrong.

Only detect click event on pseudo-element

My answer will work for anyone wanting to click a definitive area of the page. This worked for me on my absolutely-positioned :after

Thanks to this article, I realized (with jQuery) I can use e.pageY and e.pageX instead of worrying about e.offsetY/X and e.clientY/X issue between browsers.

Through my trial and error, I started to use the clientX and clientY mouse coordinates in the jQuery event object. These coordinates gave me the X and Y offset of the mouse relative to the top-left corner of the browser's view port. As I was reading the jQuery 1.4 Reference Guide by Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer, however, I saw that they often referred to the pageX and pageY coordinates. After checking the updated jQuery documentation, I saw that these were the coordinates standardized by jQuery; and, I saw that they gave me the X and Y offset of the mouse relative to the entire document (not just the view port).

I liked this event.pageY idea because it would always be the same, as it was relative to the document. I can compare it to my :after's parent element using offset(), which returns its X and Y also relative to the document.

Therefore, I can come up with a range of "clickable" region on the entire page that never changes.


Here's my demo on codepen.


or if too lazy for codepen, here's the JS:

* I only cared about the Y values for my example.

var box = $('.box');
// clickable range - never changes
var max = box.offset().top + box.outerHeight();
var min = max - 30; // 30 is the height of the :after

var checkRange = function(y) {
  return (y >= min && y <= max);
}

box.click(function(e){
  if ( checkRange(e.pageY) ) {
    // do click action
    box.toggleClass('toggle');
  }
});

In Java, how do I check if a string contains a substring (ignoring case)?

I'd use a combination of the contains method and the toUpper method that are part of the String class. An example is below:

String string1 = "AAABBBCCC"; 
String string2 = "DDDEEEFFF";
String searchForThis = "AABB";

System.out.println("Search1="+string1.toUpperCase().contains(searchForThis.toUpperCase()));

System.out.println("Search2="+string2.toUpperCase().contains(searchForThis.toUpperCase()));

This will return:

Search1=true
Search2=false

How to get the current logged in user Id in ASP.NET Core

In .net core 3.1 (and other more recent versions), you can use:

private readonly UserManager<IdentityUser> _userManager;

public ExampleController(UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager)
{
    _userManager = userManager;
}

Then:

string userId = _userManager.GetUserId(User);

Or async:

var user = await _userManager.GetUserAsync(User);
var userId = user.Id;

At this point, I'm trying to figure out why you'd use one over the other. I know the general benefits of async, but see both of these used frequently. Please post some comments if anyone knows.

Unable to load script from assets index.android.bundle on windows

I spent hours trying to figure this issue out. My problem was not specific to Windows but is specific to Android.

How to limit google autocomplete results to City and Country only

Basically same as the accepted answer, but updated with new type and multiple country restrictions:

function initialize() {

 var options = {
  types: ['(regions)'],
  componentRestrictions: {country: ["us", "de"]}
 };

 var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
 var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options);
}

Using '(regions)' instead of '(cities)' allows to search by postal code as well as city name.

See official documentation, Table 3: https://developers.google.com/places/supported_types

Moving from JDK 1.7 to JDK 1.8 on Ubuntu

This is what I do on debian - I suspect it should work on ubuntu (amend the version as required + adapt the folder where you want to copy the JDK files as you wish, I'm using /opt/jdk):

wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u71-b15/jdk-8u71-linux-x64.tar.gz
sudo mkdir /opt/jdk
sudo tar -zxf jdk-8u71-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /opt/jdk/
rm jdk-8u71-linux-x64.tar.gz

Then update-alternatives:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/java 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/javac 1

Select the number corresponding to the /opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/java when running the following commands:

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Finally, verify that the correct version is selected:

java -version
javac -version

MVC DateTime binding with incorrect date format

I've been having the same issue with short date format binding to DateTime model properties. After looking at many different examples (not only concerning DateTime) I put together the follwing:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace YourNamespaceHere
{
    public class CustomDateBinder : IModelBinder
    {
        public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
        {
            if (controllerContext == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("controllerContext", "controllerContext is null.");
            if (bindingContext == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("bindingContext", "bindingContext is null.");

            var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);

            if (value == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException(bindingContext.ModelName);

            CultureInfo cultureInf = (CultureInfo)CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone();
            cultureInf.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";

            bindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue(bindingContext.ModelName, value);

            try
            {
                var date = value.ConvertTo(typeof(DateTime), cultureInf);

                return date;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError(bindingContext.ModelName, ex);
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

    public class NullableCustomDateBinder : IModelBinder
    {
        public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
        {
            if (controllerContext == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("controllerContext", "controllerContext is null.");
            if (bindingContext == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("bindingContext", "bindingContext is null.");

            var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);

            if (value == null) return null;

            CultureInfo cultureInf = (CultureInfo)CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Clone();
            cultureInf.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";

            bindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue(bindingContext.ModelName, value);

            try
            {
                var date = value.ConvertTo(typeof(DateTime), cultureInf);

                return date;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError(bindingContext.ModelName, ex);
                return null;
            }
        }
    }
}

To keep with the way that routes etc are regiseterd in the Global ASAX file I also added a new sytatic class to the App_Start folder of my MVC4 project named CustomModelBinderConfig:

using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace YourNamespaceHere
{
    public static class CustomModelBindersConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterCustomModelBinders()
        {
            ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(DateTime), new CustomModelBinders.CustomDateBinder());
            ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(DateTime?), new CustomModelBinders.NullableCustomDateBinder());
        }
    }
}

I then just call the static RegisterCustomModelBinders from my Global ASASX Application_Start like this:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    /* bla blah bla the usual stuff and then */

    CustomModelBindersConfig.RegisterCustomModelBinders();
}

An important note here is that if you write a DateTime value to a hiddenfield like this:

@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.SomeDate) // a DateTime property
@Html.Hiddenfor(model => model) // a model that is of type DateTime

I did that and the actual value on the page was in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" instead of "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" like I wanted. This caused my model validation to either fail or return the wrong date (obviously swapping the day and month values around).

After a lot of head scratching and failed attempts the solution was to set the culture info for every request by doing this in the Global.ASAX:

protected void Application_BeginRequest()
{
    CultureInfo cInf = new CultureInfo("en-ZA", false);  
    // NOTE: change the culture name en-ZA to whatever culture suits your needs

    cInf.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator = "/";
    cInf.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
    cInf.DateTimeFormat.LongDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt";

    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cInf;
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cInf;
}

It won't work if you stick it in Application_Start or even Session_Start since that assigns it to the current thread for the session. As you well know, web applications are stateless so the thread that serviced your request previously is ot the same thread serviceing your current request hence your culture info has gone to the great GC in the digital sky.

Jquery Setting Value of Input Field

If the input field has a class name formData use this : $(".formData").val("data")

If the input field has an id attribute name formData use this : $("#formData").val("data")

If the input name is given use this : $("input[name='formData']").val("data")

You can also mention the type. Then it will refer to all the inputs of that type and the given class name: $("input[type='text'].formData").val("data")
