AngularJs directive not updating another directive's scope

Just wondering why you are using 2 directives?

It seems like, in this case it would be more straightforward to have a controller as the parent - handle adding the data from your service to its $scope, and pass the model you need from there into your warrantyDirective.

Or for that matter, you could use 0 directives to achieve the same result. (ie. move all functionality out of the separate directives and into a single controller).

It doesn't look like you're doing any explicit DOM transformation here, so in this case, perhaps using 2 directives is overcomplicating things.

Alternatively, have a look at the Angular documentation for directives: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive The very last example at the bottom of the page explains how to wire up dependent directives.

Empty brackets '[]' appearing when using .where

You can use the lower function:

Guide.where("lower(title)='attack'") 

As a comment: Work on your question. The title isn't terribly informative, and you drop a big chunk of code at the end that is irrelevant to your question.

GoogleMaps API KEY for testing

Updated Answer

As of June11, 2018 it is now mandatory to have a billing account to get API key. You can still make keyless calls to the Maps JavaScript API and Street View Static API which will return low-resolution maps that can be used for development. Enabling billing still gives you $200 free credit monthly for your projects.

This answer is no longer valid

As long as you're using a testing API key it is free to register and use. But when you move your app to commercial level you have to pay for it. When you enable billing, google gives you $200 credit free each month that means if your app's map usage is low you can still use it for free even after the billing enabled, if it exceeds the credit limit now you have to pay for it.

Couldn't process file resx due to its being in the Internet or Restricted zone or having the mark of the web on the file

Although this is an older question, I spent several hours tracking down a way to handle this error when it applies to multiple files that are located in sub folders throughout the project.

To fix this for all files within a project, Visual Studio -> Tools -> Options -> Trust Settings and add the project path as a trusted path.

Cordova app not displaying correctly on iPhone X (Simulator)

Fix for iPhone X/XS screen rotation issue

On iPhone X/XS, a screen rotation will cause the header bar height to use an incorrect value, because the calculation of safe-area-inset-* was not reflecting the new values in time for UI refresh. This bug exists in UIWebView even in the latest iOS 12. A workaround is inserting a 1px top margin and then quickly reversing it, which will trigger safe-area-inset-* to be re-calculated immediately. A somewhat ugly fix but it works if you have to stay with UIWebView for one reason or another.

_x000D_
_x000D_
window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function() {_x000D_
    var originalMarginTop = document.body.style.marginTop;_x000D_
    document.body.style.marginTop = "1px";_x000D_
    setTimeout(function () {_x000D_
        document.body.style.marginTop = originalMarginTop;_x000D_
    }, 100);_x000D_
}, false);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The purpose of the code is to cause the document.body.style.marginTop to change slightly and then reverse it. It doesn't necessarily have to be "1px". You can pick a value that doesn't cause your UI to flicker but achieves its purpose.

No restricted globals

Use react-router-dom library.

From there, import useLocation hook if you're using functional components:

import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';

Then append it to a variable:

Const location = useLocation();

You can then use it normally:

location.pathname

P.S: the returned location object has five properties only:

{ hash: "", key: "", pathname: "/" search: "", state: undefined__, }

How to assign more memory to docker container

Allocate maximum memory to your docker machine from (docker preference -> advance )

Screenshot of advance settings: Screenshot of advance settings.

This will set the maximum limit docker consume while running containers. Now run your image in new container with -m=4g flag for 4 gigs ram or more. e.g.

docker run -m=4g {imageID}

Remember to apply the ram limit increase changes. Restart the docker and double check that ram limit did increased. This can be one of the factor you not see the ram limit increase in docker containers.

Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()

Please don't call any StartForgroundServices inside onCreate() method, you have to call StartForground services in onStartCommand() after make the worker thread otherwise you will get ANR always , so please don't write complex login in main thread of onStartCommand();

public class Services extends Service {

    private static final String ANDROID_CHANNEL_ID = "com.xxxx.Location.Channel";
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }


    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this, ANDROID_CHANNEL_ID)
                    .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
                    .setContentText("SmartTracker Running")
                    .setAutoCancel(true);
            Notification notification = builder.build();
            startForeground(0, notification);
            Log.e("home_button","home button");
        } else {
            NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                    .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
                    .setContentText("SmartTracker is Running...")
                    .setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
                    .setAutoCancel(true);
            Notification notification = builder.build();
            startForeground(0, notification);
            Log.e("home_button_value","home_button_value");

        }
        return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);

    }
}

EDIT: Caution! startForeground function can't take 0 as first argument, it will raise an exception! this example contains wrong function call, change 0 to your own const which couldnt be 0 or be greater than Max(Int32)

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

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

config-overrides.js

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

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

  return config;
};

You need to delete your old db folder and recreate new one. It will resolve your issue.

ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system

The PowerShell execution policy is default set to Restricted. You can change the PowerShell execution policies with Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet. To run outside script set policy to RemoteSigned.

PS C:> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned Below is the list of four different execution policies in PowerShell

Restricted – No scripts can be run. AllSigned – Only scripts signed by a trusted publisher can be run. RemoteSigned – Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher. Unrestricted – All Windows PowerShell scripts can be run.

How to install a Notepad++ plugin offline?

Here are the steps that worked for me:

  1. Download the plugin and extract the plugin dll file.
  2. Place the plugin.dll file under plugin folder of notepad++ installation. For me it was : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins
  3. Go to Notepad++ then : Settings -> Import -> Import plugin (import the plugin).
  4. Notepad++ will show the restart message / Sometimes it may not show it.
  5. Restart the notepad++.
  6. Should see new plugin under the Plugins menu. ALL DONE!!

How to get current available GPUs in tensorflow?

Ensure you have the latest TensorFlow 2.x GPU installed in your GPU supporting machine, Execute the following code in python,

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals

import tensorflow as tf 

print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices('GPU')))

Will get an output looks like,

2020-02-07 10:45:37.587838: I tensorflow/stream_executor/cuda/cuda_gpu_executor.cc:1006] successful NUMA node read from SysFS had negative value (-1), but there must be at least one NUMA node, so returning NUMA node zero 2020-02-07 10:45:37.588896: I tensorflow/core/common_runtime/gpu/gpu_device.cc:1746] Adding visible gpu devices: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Num GPUs Available: 8

Angular 2 Date Input not binding to date value

you can use a workaround, like this:

<input type='date' (keyup)="0" #myDate [(ngModel)]='demoUser.date'/><br>

on your component :

 @Input public date: Date,

Use of symbols '@', '&', '=' and '>' in custom directive's scope binding: AngularJS

> is not in the documentation.

< is for one-way binding.

@ binding is for passing strings. These strings support {{}} expressions for interpolated values.

= binding is for two-way model binding. The model in parent scope is linked to the model in the directive's isolated scope.

& binding is for passing a method into your directive's scope so that it can be called within your directive.

When we are setting scope: true in directive, Angular js will create a new scope for that directive. That means any changes made to the directive scope will not reflect back in parent controller.

Proper way to restrict text input values (e.g. only numbers)

To catch all the event surrounding model changes, can consider using

<input (ngModelChange)="inputFilter($event)"/>

It will detect copy / paste, keyup, any condition that changes the value of the model.

And then:

inputFilter(event: any) {
    const pattern = /[0-9\+\-\ ]/;
    let inputChar = String.fromCharCode(event.charCode);

    if (!pattern.test(inputChar)) {
      // invalid character, prevent input
      event.preventDefault();
    }
}

Send FormData with other field in AngularJS

Using $resource in AngularJS you can do:

task.service.js

$ngTask.factory("$taskService", [
    "$resource",
    function ($resource) {
        var taskModelUrl = 'api/task/';
        return {
            rest: {
                taskUpload: $resource(taskModelUrl, {
                    id: '@id'
                }, {
                    save: {
                        method: "POST",
                        isArray: false,
                        headers: {"Content-Type": undefined},
                        transformRequest: angular.identity
                    }
                })
            }
        };
    }
]);

And then use it in a module:

task.module.js

$ngModelTask.controller("taskController", [
    "$scope",
    "$taskService",
    function (
        $scope,
        $taskService,
    ) {
    $scope.saveTask = function (name, file) {
        var newTask,
            payload = new FormData();
        payload.append("name", name);
        payload.append("file", file);
        newTask = $taskService.rest.taskUpload.save(payload);
        // check if exists
    }
}

WooCommerce: Finding the products in database

I would recommend using WordPress custom fields to store eligible postcodes for each product. add_post_meta() and update_post_meta are what you're looking for. It's not recommended to alter the default WordPress table structure. All postmetas are inserted in wp_postmeta table. You can find the corresponding products within wp_posts table.

npm install error - unable to get local issuer certificate

Well this is not a right answer but can be consider as a quick workaround. Right answer is turn off Strict SSL.

Multiple conditions in an IF statement in Excel VBA

In VBA we can not use if jj = 5 or 6 then we must use if jj = 5 or jj = 6 then

maybe this:

If inputWks.Range("d9") > 0 And (inputWks.Range("d11") = "Restricted_Expenditure" Or inputWks.Range("d11") = "Unrestricted_Expenditure") Then

Allow 2 decimal places in <input type="number">

If case anyone is looking for a regex that allows only numbers with an optional 2 decimal places

^\d*(\.\d{0,2})?$

For an example, I have found solution below to be fairly reliable

HTML:

<input name="my_field" pattern="^\d*(\.\d{0,2})?$" />

JS / JQuery:

$(document).on('keydown', 'input[pattern]', function(e){
  var input = $(this);
  var oldVal = input.val();
  var regex = new RegExp(input.attr('pattern'), 'g');

  setTimeout(function(){
    var newVal = input.val();
    if(!regex.test(newVal)){
      input.val(oldVal); 
    }
  }, 0);
});

Update

setTimeout is not working correctly anymore for this, maybe browsers have changed. Some other async solution will need to be devised.

Content type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8' not supported for @RequestBody MultiValueMap

You can try to turn support on in spring's converter

@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void extendMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
        // add converter suport Content-Type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        converters.stream()
                .filter(AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class::isInstance)
                .map(AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class::cast)
                .findFirst()
                .ifPresent(converter -> converter.addSupportedMediaTypes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_VALUE));
    }

mysqld: Can't change dir to data. Server doesn't start

Since you used the Windows installer, everything is set up for you to run MySQL 5.7 as a Windows service, which is a great option in most cases.

Instead of running mysqld.exe from the command line,

  1. Win + R
  2. Run services.msc
  3. Right-click on MySQL57
  4. Start the service.

HTML input time in 24 format

Tested!

In Windows -> control panel -> Region -> Additional Settings -> Time -> Short Time:

Format your time as HH:mm

in the format

hh = 12 hours

HH = 24 hours

mm = minutes

tt = AM or PM

so to get the required result the format should be HH:mm and not hh:mm tt

Google maps Marker Label with multiple characters

You can use MarkerWithLabel with SVG icons.

The target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context

My issue turned out to be so strange and simple:

  • SQL Server Windows Service on ServerA (configured to run using DOMAIN\svcAccountA)
  • SQL Server Windows Service on ServerB (configured to run using DOMAIN\svcAccountB)

Both DOMAIN\svcAccountA and DOMAIN\svcAccountB are service accounts in our Active Directory domain.

Even though all permissions were setup properly for DOMAIN\svcAccountA to connect to ServerB, a C# CLR (running as DOMAIN\svcAccountA) on ServerA could no longer connect to ServerB using a SqlConnection (same strange uninformative error message: The target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context).

The simple part? After rebooting ServerA, the SQL Server Windows Service would no longer start automatically! That was the clue to discovering that someone had changed the password for DOMAIN\svcAccountA and I had to correct the SQL Server Windows Service configuration here:

enter image description here

After correcting the password, the SQL Server Windows Service on ServerA started fine, and the C# CLR (running as DOMAIN\svcAccountA) on ServerA could now connect to ServerB using a SqlConnection.

AngularJS $watch window resize inside directive

You shouldn't need a $watch. Just bind to resize event on window:

DEMO

'use strict';

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.directive('myDirective', ['$window', function ($window) {

     return {
        link: link,
        restrict: 'E',
        template: '<div>window size: {{width}}px</div>'
     };

     function link(scope, element, attrs){

       scope.width = $window.innerWidth;

       angular.element($window).bind('resize', function(){

         scope.width = $window.innerWidth;

         // manuall $digest required as resize event
         // is outside of angular
         scope.$digest();
       });

     }

 }]);

Eclipse: How to install a plugin manually?

  1. Download your plugin
  2. Open Eclipse
  3. From the menu choose: Help / Install New Software...
  4. Click the Add button
  5. In the Add Repository dialog that appears, click the Archive button next to the Location field
  6. Select your plugin file, click OK

You could also just copy plugins to the eclipse/plugins directory, but it's not recommended.

How to restrict UITextField to take only numbers in Swift?

Here is my 2 Cents. (Tested on Swift 2 Only)

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

  let aSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString:"0123456789").invertedSet
  let compSepByCharInSet = string.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(aSet)
  let numberFiltered = compSepByCharInSet.joinWithSeparator("")
  return string == numberFiltered

}

This is just a little bit more strict. No decimal point either.

Hope it helps :)

PS: I assumed you looked after the delegate anyway.

Update: Swift 3.0 :

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

    let aSet = NSCharacterSet(charactersIn:"0123456789").inverted
    let compSepByCharInSet = string.components(separatedBy: aSet)
    let numberFiltered = compSepByCharInSet.joined(separator: "")
    return string == numberFiltered
}

This can be caused by the use of a proxy as well. Check if you have proxy definitions in the /etc/environment file:

cat /etc/environment

If you have anything with http_proxy or https_proxy upper or lower case then unset each of them.

AngularJS Error: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome-extension, https

If you are running server already, don't forget to use http:// in the API call. This might cause a serious trouble.

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression

The simple answer for this one is that you have an undeclared (null) variable. In this case it is $md5. From the comment you put this needed to be declared elsewhere in your code

$md5 = new-object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider

The error was because you are trying to execute a method that does not exist.

The .ComputeHash() of $md5.ComputeHash() was the null valued expression. Typing in gibberish would create the same effect.

Simple Popup by using Angular JS

Built a modal popup example using syarul's jsFiddle link. Here is the updated fiddle.

Created an angular directive called modal and used in html. Explanation:-

HTML

<div ng-controller="MainCtrl" class="container">
  <button ng-click="toggleModal('Success')" class="btn btn-default">Success</button>
  <button ng-click="toggleModal('Remove')" class="btn btn-default">Remove</button>
  <button ng-click="toggleModal('Deny')" class="btn btn-default">Deny</button>
  <button ng-click="toggleModal('Cancel')" class="btn btn-default">Cancel</button>
  <modal visible="showModal">
      Any additional data / buttons
  </modal>
</div>

On button click toggleModal() function is called with the button message as parameter. This function toggles the visibility of popup. Any tags that you put inside will show up in the popup as content since ng-transclude is placed on modal-body in the directive template.

JS

var mymodal = angular.module('mymodal', []);

mymodal.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
    $scope.showModal = false;
    $scope.buttonClicked = "";
    $scope.toggleModal = function(btnClicked){
        $scope.buttonClicked = btnClicked;
        $scope.showModal = !$scope.showModal;
    };
  });

mymodal.directive('modal', function () {
    return {
      template: '<div class="modal fade">' + 
          '<div class="modal-dialog">' + 
            '<div class="modal-content">' + 
              '<div class="modal-header">' + 
                '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>' + 
                '<h4 class="modal-title">{{ buttonClicked }} clicked!!</h4>' + 
              '</div>' + 
              '<div class="modal-body" ng-transclude></div>' + 
            '</div>' + 
          '</div>' + 
        '</div>',
      restrict: 'E',
      transclude: true,
      replace:true,
      scope:true,
      link: function postLink(scope, element, attrs) {
        scope.title = attrs.title;

        scope.$watch(attrs.visible, function(value){
          if(value == true)
            $(element).modal('show');
          else
            $(element).modal('hide');
        });

        $(element).on('shown.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = true;
          });
        });

        $(element).on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
          scope.$apply(function(){
            scope.$parent[attrs.visible] = false;
          });
        });
      }
    };
  });

Calculate days between two Dates in Java 8

You can use DAYS.between from java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit

e.g.

import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public long getDaysCountBetweenDates(LocalDate dateBefore, LocalDate dateAfter) {
    return DAYS.between(dateBefore, dateAfter);
}

$rootScope.$broadcast vs. $scope.$emit

They are not doing the same job: $emit dispatches an event upwards through the scope hierarchy, while $broadcast dispatches an event downwards to all child scopes.

Multiple scenarios @RequestMapping produces JSON/XML together with Accept or ResponseEntity

Using Accept header is really easy to get the format json or xml from the REST service.

This is my Controller, take a look produces section.

@RequestMapping(value = "properties", produces = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public UIProperty getProperties() {
        return uiProperty;
    }

In order to consume the REST service we can use the code below where header can be MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE or MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add("Accept", header);

HttpEntity entity = new HttpEntity(headers);

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:8080/properties", HttpMethod.GET, entity,String.class);
return response.getBody();

Edit 01:

In order to work with application/xml, add this dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId>
</dependency>

Angularjs - Pass argument to directive

app.directive("myDirective", function() {
    return {
        restrict : "A",
         link: function(scope, elm, attrs) {
                elm.bind('click', function(event) {

                    alert("You pressed button: " + event.target.getAttribute('my-directive'));
                });
        }
    };
});

here is what I did

I'm using directive as html attribute and I passed parameter as following in my HTML file. my-directive="push" And from the directive I retrieved it from the Mouse-click event object. event.target.getAttribute('my-directive').

Set element focus in angular way

The problem with your solution is that it does not work well when tied down to other directives that creates a new scope, e.g. ng-repeat. A better solution would be to simply create a service function that enables you to focus elements imperatively within your controllers or to focus elements declaratively in the html.

DEMO

JAVASCRIPT

Service

 .factory('focus', function($timeout, $window) {
    return function(id) {
      // timeout makes sure that it is invoked after any other event has been triggered.
      // e.g. click events that need to run before the focus or
      // inputs elements that are in a disabled state but are enabled when those events
      // are triggered.
      $timeout(function() {
        var element = $window.document.getElementById(id);
        if(element)
          element.focus();
      });
    };
  });

Directive

  .directive('eventFocus', function(focus) {
    return function(scope, elem, attr) {
      elem.on(attr.eventFocus, function() {
        focus(attr.eventFocusId);
      });

      // Removes bound events in the element itself
      // when the scope is destroyed
      scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
        elem.off(attr.eventFocus);
      });
    };
  });

Controller

.controller('Ctrl', function($scope, focus) {
    $scope.doSomething = function() {
      // do something awesome
      focus('email');
    };
  });

HTML

<input type="email" id="email" class="form-control">
<button event-focus="click" event-focus-id="email">Declarative Focus</button>
<button ng-click="doSomething()">Imperative Focus</button>

Disable all dialog boxes in Excel while running VB script?

Solution: Automation Macros

It sounds like you would benefit from using an automation utility. If you were using a windows PC I would recommend AutoHotkey. I haven't used automation utilities on a Mac, but this Ask Different post has several suggestions, though none appear to be free.

This is not a VBA solution. These macros run outside of Excel and can interact with programs using keyboard strokes, mouse movements and clicks.

Basically you record or write a simple automation macro that waits for the Excel "Save As" dialogue box to become active, hits enter/return to complete the save action and then waits for the "Save As" window to close. You can set it to run in a continuous loop until you manually end the macro.

Here's a simple version of a Windows AutoHotkey script that would accomplish what you are attempting to do on a Mac. It should give you an idea of the logic involved.

Example Automation Macro: AutoHotkey

; ' Infinite loop.  End the macro by closing the program from the Windows taskbar.
Loop {

    ; ' Wait for ANY "Save As" dialogue box in any program.
    ; ' BE CAREFUL!
    ; '  Ignore the "Confirm Save As" dialogue if attempt is made
    ; '  to overwrite an existing file.
    WinWait, Save As,,, Confirm Save As
    IfWinNotActive, Save As,,, Confirm Save As
        WinActivate, Save As,,, Confirm Save As
    WinWaitActive, Save As,,, Confirm Save As

    sleep, 250 ; ' 0.25 second delay
    Send, {ENTER} ; ' Save the Excel file.

    ; ' Wait for the "Save As" dialogue box to close.
    WinWaitClose, Save As,,, Confirm Save As
}

What's the difference between abstraction and encapsulation?

Why Encapsulation? Why Abstraction?

lets start with the question below:

1)What happens if we allow code to directly access field ? (directly allowing means making field public)

lets understand this with an example,

following is our BankAccount class and following is its limitation
*Limitation/Policy* : Balance in BankAccount can not be more than 50000Rs. (This line 
 is very important to understand)

class BankAccount
{
   **public** double balanceAmount;
}

Following is **AccountHolder**(user of BankAccount) class which is consumer of 
**BankAccount** class.

class AccountHolder
{
   BankAccount mybankAccount = new BankAccount();

   DoAmountCreditInBankAccount()
   {
       mybankAccount.balanceAmount = 70000; 
      /* 
       this is invalid practice because this statement violates policy....Here 
       BankAccount class is not able to protect its field from direct access
       Reason for direct access by acount holder is that balanceAmount directly 
       accessible due to its public access modifier. How to solve this issue and 
       successfully implement BankAccount Policy/Limitation. 
      */
   }
}

if some other part of code directly access balanceAmount field and set balance amount to 70000Rs which is not acceptable. Here in this case we can not prevent some other part of code from accessing balanceAmount field.

So what we can do?

=> Answer is we can make balanceAmount field private so that no other code can directly access it and allowing access to that field only via public method which operates on balanceAmount field. Main role of method is that we can write some prevention logic inside method so that field can not be initialized with more than 50000Rs. Here we are making binding between data field called balanceAmount and method which operates on that field. This process is called Encapsulation.(it is all about protecting fields using access modifier such as private)

Encapsulation is one way to achieve abstraction....but How? => User of this method will not know about implementation (How amount gets credited? logic and all that stuff) of method which he/she will invoke. Not knowing about implementation details by user is called Abstraction(Hiding details from user).

Following will be the implementation of class:

class BankAccount
{
   **private** double balanceAmount;

   **public** void UpdateBankBalance(double amount)
   {
    if(balanceAmount + amount > 50000)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Bank balance can not be more than 50000, Transaction can 
                          not be proceed");
    }
    else
    {
       balanceAmount = balanceAmount + amount;
           Console.WriteLine("Amount has been credited to your bank account 
                              successfully.....");
    }
   }
}


class AccountHolder
{
   BankAccount mybankAccount = new BankAccount();

   DoAmountCreditInBankAccount()
   {
      mybankAccount.UpdateBankBalance(some_amount);
      /*
       mybankAccount.balanceAmount will not be accessible due to its protection level 
       directly from AccountHolder so account holder will consume BankAccount public 
       method UpdateBankBalance(double amount) to update his/her balance.
      */
   }
}

Why is it that "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

You need to map the unique route to specify your parameters as query elements. In RouteConfig.cs (or WebApiConfig.cs) add:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "MyPagedQuery",
            routeTemplate:     "api/{controller}/{action}/{firstId}/{countToFetch}",
            defaults: new { action = "GetNDepartmentsFromID" }
        );

Find child element in AngularJS directive

jQlite (angular's "jQuery" port) doesn't support lookup by classes.

One solution would be to include jQuery in your app.

Another is using QuerySelector or QuerySelectorAll:

link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
   console.log(element[0].querySelector('.list-scrollable'))
}

We use the first item in the element array, which is the HTML element. element.eq(0) would yield the same.

FIDDLE

From inside of a Docker container, how do I connect to the localhost of the machine?

Try this:

version: '3.5'
services:
  yourservice-here:
    container_name: container_name
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    extra_hosts: # <---- here
      - localhost:192.168.1.202
      - or-vitualhost.local:192.168.1.202

To get 192.168.1.202, uses ifconfig

This worked for me. Hope this help!

AngularJS Error: $injector:unpr Unknown Provider

In my case, I added a new service (file) to my app. That new service is injected in an existing controller. I did not miss new service dependency injection into that existing controller and did not declare my app module no more than one place. The same exception is thrown when I re-run my web app and my browser cache is not reset with a new service file codes. I simply refreshed my browser to get that new service file for browser cache, and the problem was gone.

Razor MVC Populating Javascript array with Model Array

I was working with a list of toasts (alert messages), List<Alert> from C# and needed it as JavaScript array for Toastr in a partial view (.cshtml file). The JavaScript code below is what worked for me:

var toasts = @Html.Raw(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(alerts));
toasts.forEach(function (entry) {
    var command = entry.AlertStyle;
    var message = entry.Message;
    if (command === "danger") { command = "error"; }
    toastr[command](message);
});

Enable/Disable Anchor Tags using AngularJS

You can create a custom directive that is somehow similar to ng-disabled and disable a specific set of elements by:

  1. watching the property changes of the custom directive, e.g. my-disabled.
  2. clone the current element without the added event handlers.
  3. add css properties to the cloned element and other attributes or event handlers that will provide the disabled state of an element.
  4. when changes are detected on the watched property, replace the current element with the cloned element.

HTML

   <a my-disabled="disableCreate" href="#" ng-click="disableEdit = true">CREATE</a><br/>
   <a my-disabled="disableEdit" href="#" ng-click="disableCreate = true">EDIT</a><br/>
   <a my-disabled="disableCreate || disableEdit" href="#">DELETE</a><br/>
   <a href="#" ng-click="disableEdit = false; disableCreate = false;">RESET</a>

JAVASCRIPT

directive('myDisabled', function() {
  return {

    link: function(scope, elem, attr) {
      var color = elem.css('color'),
          textDecoration = elem.css('text-decoration'),
          cursor = elem.css('cursor'),
          // double negation for non-boolean attributes e.g. undefined
          currentValue = !!scope.$eval(attr.myDisabled),

          current = elem[0],
          next = elem[0].cloneNode(true);

      var nextElem = angular.element(next);

      nextElem.on('click', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
      });

      nextElem.css('color', 'gray');
      nextElem.css('text-decoration', 'line-through');
      nextElem.css('cursor', 'not-allowed');
      nextElem.attr('tabindex', -1);

      scope.$watch(attr.myDisabled, function(value) {
        // double negation for non-boolean attributes e.g. undefined
        value = !!value;

        if(currentValue != value) {
          currentValue = value;
          current.parentNode.replaceChild(next, current);
          var temp = current;
          current = next;
          next = temp;
        }

      })
    }
  }
});

AngularJS Directive Restrict A vs E

Element is not supported in IE8 out of the box you have to do some work to make IE8 accept custom tags.

One advantage of using an attribute over an element is that you can apply multiple directives to the same DOM node. This is particularly handy for things like form controls where you can highlight, disable, or add labels etc. with additional attributes without having to wrap the element in a bunch of tags.

WebService Client Generation Error with JDK8

The following works for wsimport 2.2.9 included in jdk 1.8.0_66:

wsimport -J-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema=all ....

How to use the 'replace' feature for custom AngularJS directives?

When you have replace: true you get the following piece of DOM:

<div ng-controller="Ctrl" class="ng-scope">
    <div class="ng-binding">hello</div>
</div>

whereas, with replace: false you get this:

<div ng-controller="Ctrl" class="ng-scope">
    <my-dir>
        <div class="ng-binding">hello</div>
    </my-dir>
</div>

So the replace property in directives refer to whether the element to which the directive is being applied (<my-dir> in that case) should remain (replace: false) and the directive's template should be appended as its child,

OR

the element to which the directive is being applied should be replaced (replace: true) by the directive's template.

In both cases the element's (to which the directive is being applied) children will be lost. If you wanted to perserve the element's original content/children you would have to translude it. The following directive would do it:

.directive('myDir', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        replace: false,
        transclude: true,
        template: '<div>{{title}}<div ng-transclude></div></div>'
    };
});

In that case if in the directive's template you have an element (or elements) with attribute ng-transclude, its content will be replaced by the element's (to which the directive is being applied) original content.

See example of translusion http://plnkr.co/edit/2DJQydBjgwj9vExLn3Ik?p=preview

Angular.js directive dynamic templateURL

I had the same problem and I solved in a slightly different way from the others. I am using angular 1.4.4.

In my case, I have a shell template that creates a CSS Bootstrap panel:

<div class="class-container panel panel-info">
    <div class="panel-heading">
        <h3 class="panel-title">{{title}} </h3>
    </div>
    <div class="panel-body">
        <sp-panel-body panelbodytpl="{{panelbodytpl}}"></sp-panel-body>
    </div>
</div>

I want to include panel body templates depending on the route.

    angular.module('MyApp')
    .directive('spPanelBody', ['$compile', function($compile){
        return {
            restrict        : 'E',
            scope : true,
            link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
                scope.data = angular.fromJson(scope.data);
                element.append($compile('<ng-include src="\'' + scope.panelbodytpl + '\'"></ng-include>')(scope));
            }
        }
    }]);

I then have the following template included when the route is #/students:

<div class="students-wrapper">
    <div ng-controller="StudentsIndexController as studentCtrl" class="row">
        <div ng-repeat="student in studentCtrl.students" class="col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-3">
            <sp-panel 
            title="{{student.firstName}} {{student.middleName}} {{student.lastName}}"
            panelbodytpl="{{'/student/panel-body.html'}}"
            data="{{student}}"
            ></sp-panel>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The panel-body.html template as follows:

Date of Birth: {{data.dob * 1000 | date : 'dd MMM yyyy'}}

Sample data in the case someone wants to have a go:

var student = {
    'id'            : 1,
    'firstName'     : 'John',
    'middleName'    : '',
    'lastName'      : 'Smith',
    'dob'           : 1130799600,
    'current-class' : 5
}

In Angular, how to pass JSON object/array into directive?

As you say, you don't need to request the file twice. Pass it from your controller to your directive. Assuming you use the directive inside the scope of the controller:

.controller('MyController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
  $http.get('locations/locations.json').success(function(data) {
      $scope.locations = data;
  });
}

Then in your HTML (where you call upon the directive).
Note: locations is a reference to your controllers $scope.locations.

<div my-directive location-data="locations"></div>

And finally in your directive

...
scope: {
  locationData: '=locationData'
},
controller: ['$scope', function($scope){
  // And here you can access your data
  $scope.locationData
}]
...

This is just an outline to point you in the right direction, so it's incomplete and not tested.

Access Form - Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression

Try making the field names legal by removing spaces. It's a long shot but it has actually helped me before.

org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: filename

Hibernate queries are case sensitive with property names (because they end up relying on getter/setter methods on the @Entity).

Make sure you refer to the property as fileName in the Criteria query, not filename.

Specifically, Hibernate will call the getter method of the filename property when executing that Criteria query, so it will look for a method called getFilename(). But the property is called FileName and the getter getFileName().

So, change the projection like so:

criteria.setProjection(Projections.property("fileName"));

AngularJS $http, CORS and http authentication

No you don't have to put credentials, You have to put headers on client side eg:

 $http({
        url: 'url of service',
        method: "POST",
        data: {test :  name },
        withCredentials: true,
        headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
        }
    });

And and on server side you have to put headers to this is example for nodejs:

/**
 * On all requests add headers
 */
app.all('*', function(req, res,next) {


    /**
     * Response settings
     * @type {Object}
     */
    var responseSettings = {
        "AccessControlAllowOrigin": req.headers.origin,
        "AccessControlAllowHeaders": "Content-Type,X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5,  Date, X-Api-Version, X-File-Name",
        "AccessControlAllowMethods": "POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS",
        "AccessControlAllowCredentials": true
    };

    /**
     * Headers
     */
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", responseSettings.AccessControlAllowCredentials);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin",  responseSettings.AccessControlAllowOrigin);
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", (req.headers['access-control-request-headers']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-headers'] : "x-requested-with");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", (req.headers['access-control-request-method']) ? req.headers['access-control-request-method'] : responseSettings.AccessControlAllowMethods);

    if ('OPTIONS' == req.method) {
        res.send(200);
    }
    else {
        next();
    }


});

How do I use Spring Boot to serve static content located in Dropbox folder?

Based on @Dave Syers answer I add the following class to my Spring Boot project:

@Configuration
public class StaticResourceConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

 private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(StaticResourceConfiguration.class);

 @Value("${static.path}")
 private String staticPath;

 @Override
 public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {

    if(staticPath != null) {
        LOG.info("Serving static content from " + staticPath);
        registry.addResourceHandler("/**").addResourceLocations("file:" + staticPath);
    }
 }

 // see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27381781/java-spring-boot-how-to-map-my-my-app-root-to-index-html
 @Override
 public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("redirect:/index.html");
 }
}

This allows me to start my spring boot app with the parameter --static.path like

java -jar spring-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --static.path=/path/to/my/static-files/

This can be very handy for development and testing.

Disable password authentication for SSH

I followed these steps (for Mac).

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config change

#ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
#PasswordAuthentication yes

to

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
PasswordAuthentication no

Now generate the RSA key:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

(For me an RSA key worked. A DSA key did not work.)

A private key will be generated in ~/.ssh/id_rsa along with ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (public key).

Now move to the .ssh folder: cd ~/.ssh

Enter rm -rf authorized_keys (sometimes multiple keys lead to an error).

Enter vi authorized_keys

Enter :wq to save this empty file

Enter cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Restart the SSH:

sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd
sudo launchctl start com.openssh.sshd

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element. Expected elements are (none)

When you generate a JAXB model from an XML Schema, global elements that correspond to named complex types will have that metadata captured as an @XmlElementDecl annotation on a create method in the ObjectFactory class. Since you are creating the JAXBContext on just the DocumentType class this metadata isn't being processed. If you generated your JAXB model from an XML Schema then you should create the JAXBContext on the generated package name or ObjectFactory class to ensure all the necessary metadata is processed.

Example solution:

JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(my.generatedschema.dir.ObjectFactory.class);
DocumentType documentType = ((JAXBElement<DocumentType>) jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(inputStream)).getValue();

Boolean operators ( &&, -a, ||, -o ) in Bash

-a and -o are the older and/or operators for the test command. && and || are and/or operators for the shell. So (assuming an old shell) in your first case,

[ "$1" = 'yes' ] && [ -r $2.txt ]

The shell is evaluating the and condition. In your second case,

[ "$1" = 'yes' -a $2 -lt 3 ]

The test command (or builtin test) is evaluating the and condition.

Of course in all modern or semi-modern shells, the test command is built in to the shell, so there really isn't any or much difference. In modern shells, the if statement can be written:

[[ $1 == yes && -r $2.txt ]]

Which is more similar to modern programming languages and thus is more readable.

Understanding ibeacon distancing

With multiple phones and beacons at the same location, it's going to be difficult to measure proximity with any high degree of accuracy. Try using the Android "b and l bluetooth le scanner" app, to visualize the signal strengths (distance) variations, for multiple beacons, and you'll quickly discover that complex, adaptive algorithms may be required to provide any form of consistent proximity measurement.

You're going to see lots of solutions simply instructing the user to "please hold your phone here", to reduce customer frustration.

How do I install PHP cURL on Linux Debian?

I wrote an article on topis how to [manually install curl on debian linu][1]x.

[1]: http://www.jasom.net/how-to-install-curl-command-manually-on-debian-linux. This is its shortcut:

  1. cd /usr/local/src
  2. wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.36.0.tar.gz
  3. tar -xvzf curl-7.36.0.tar.gz
  4. rm *.gz
  5. cd curl-7.6.0
  6. ./configure
  7. make
  8. make install

And restart Apache. If you will have an error during point 6, try to run apt-get install build-essential.

AngularJS directive does not update on scope variable changes

A simple solution is to make the scope variable object. Then access the content with {{ whatever-object.whatever-property }}. The variable is not updating because JavaScript pass Primitive type by value. Whereas Object are passed by reference which solves the problem.

Why does my JavaScript code receive a "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource" error, while Postman does not?

If I understood it right you are doing an XMLHttpRequest to a different domain than your page is on. So the browser is blocking it as it usually allows a request in the same origin for security reasons. You need to do something different when you want to do a cross-domain request. A tutorial about how to achieve that is Using CORS.

When you are using postman they are not restricted by this policy. Quoted from Cross-Origin XMLHttpRequest:

Regular web pages can use the XMLHttpRequest object to send and receive data from remote servers, but they're limited by the same origin policy. Extensions aren't so limited. An extension can talk to remote servers outside of its origin, as long as it first requests cross-origin permissions.

Angular JS: What is the need of the directive’s link function when we already had directive’s controller with scope?

Why controllers are needed

The difference between link and controller comes into play when you want to nest directives in your DOM and expose API functions from the parent directive to the nested ones.

From the docs:

Best Practice: use controller when you want to expose an API to other directives. Otherwise use link.

Say you want to have two directives my-form and my-text-input and you want my-text-input directive to appear only inside my-form and nowhere else.

In that case, you will say while defining the directive my-text-input that it requires a controller from the parent DOM element using the require argument, like this: require: '^myForm'. Now the controller from the parent element will be injected into the link function as the fourth argument, following $scope, element, attributes. You can call functions on that controller and communicate with the parent directive.

Moreover, if such a controller is not found, an error will be raised.

Why use link at all

There is no real need to use the link function if one is defining the controller since the $scope is available on the controller. Moreover, while defining both link and controller, one does need to be careful about the order of invocation of the two (controller is executed before).

However, in keeping with the Angular way, most DOM manipulation and 2-way binding using $watchers is usually done in the link function while the API for children and $scope manipulation is done in the controller. This is not a hard and fast rule, but doing so will make the code more modular and help in separation of concerns (controller will maintain the directive state and link function will maintain the DOM + outside bindings).

SOAP vs REST (differences)

What is REST

REST stands for representational state transfer, it's actually an architectural style for creating Web API which treats everything(data or functionality) as recourse. It expects; exposing resources through URI and responding in multiple formats and representational transfer of state of the resources in stateless manner. Here I am talking about two things:

  1. Stateless manner: Provided by HTTP.
  2. Representational transfer of state: For example if we are adding an employee. . into our system, it's in POST state of HTTP, after this it would be in GET state of HTTP, PUT and DELETE likewise.

REST can use SOAP web services because it is a concept and can use any protocol like HTTP, SOAP.SOAP uses services interfaces to expose the business logic. REST uses URI to expose business logic.

REST is not REST without HATEOAS. This means that a client only knows the entry point URI and the resources are supposed to return links the client should follow. Those fancy documentation generators that give URI patterns for everything you can do in a REST API miss the point completely. They are not only documenting something that's supposed to be following the standard, but when you do that, you're coupling the client to one particular moment in the evolution of the API, and any changes on the API have to be documented and applied, or it will break.

HATEOAS, an abbreviation for Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State, is a constraint of the REST application architecture that distinguishes it from most other network application architectures. The principle is that a client interacts with a network application entirely through hypermedia provided dynamically by application servers. A REST client needs no prior knowledge about how to interact with any particular application or server beyond a generic understanding of hypermedia. By contrast, in some service-oriented architectures (SOA), clients and servers interact through a fixed interface shared through documentation or an interface description language (IDL).

How to use BeanUtils.copyProperties?

If you want to copy from searchContent to content, then code should be as follows

BeanUtils.copyProperties(content, searchContent);

You need to reverse the parameters as above in your code.

From API,

public static void copyProperties(Object dest, Object orig)
                           throws IllegalAccessException,
                                  InvocationTargetException)

Parameters:

dest - Destination bean whose properties are modified

orig - Origin bean whose properties are retrieved

Apache: Restrict access to specific source IP inside virtual host

The mod_authz_host directives need to be inside a <Location> or <Directory> block but I've used the former within <VirtualHost> like so for Apache 2.2:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    <Location />
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Location>

    ...
</VirtualHost>

How to force input to only allow Alpha Letters?

The property event.key gave me an undefined value. Instead, I used event.keyCode:

function alphaOnly(event) {
  var key = event.keyCode;
  return ((key >= 65 && key <= 90) || key == 8);
};

Note that the value of 8 is for the backspace key.

AngularJS resource promise

If you're looking to get promise in resource call, you should use

Regions.query().$q.then(function(){ .... })

Update : the promise syntax is changed in current versions which reads

Regions.query().$promise.then(function(){ ..... })

Those who have downvoted don't know what it was and who first added this promise to resource object. I used this feature in late 2012 - yes 2012.

How to restrict user to type 10 digit numbers in input element?

try this

  2. It will be max of 10 chars
  3. First digit is not zero

How to replace NA values in a table for selected columns

Building on @Robert McDonald's tidyr::replace_na() answer, here are some dplyr options for controlling which columns the NAs are replaced:

library(tidyverse)

# by column type:
x %>%
  mutate_if(is.numeric, ~replace_na(., 0))

# select columns defined in vars(col1, col2, ...):
x %>%
  mutate_at(vars(a, b, c), ~replace_na(., 0))

# all columns:
x %>%
  mutate_all(~replace_na(., 0))

Is there a way to use SVG as content in a pseudo element :before or :after

Be careful all of the other answers have some problem in IE.

Lets have this situation - button with prepended icon. All browsers handles this correctly, but IE takes the width of the element and scales the before content to fit it. JSFiddle

#mydiv1 { width: 200px; height: 30px; background: green; }
#mydiv1:before {
    content: url("data:url or /standard/url.svg");
}

Solution is to set size to before element and leave it where it is:

#mydiv2 { width: 200px; height: 30px; background: green; }
#mydiv2:before {
    content: url("data:url or /standard/url.svg");
    display: inline-block;
    width: 16px; //only one size is alright, IE scales uniformly to fit it
}

The background-image + background-size solutions works as well, but is little unhandy, since you have to specify the same sizes twice.

The result in IE11:

Add directives from directive in AngularJS

A simple solution that could work in some cases is to create and $compile a wrapper and then append your original element to it.

Something like...

link: function(scope, elem, attr){
    var wrapper = angular.element('<div tooltip></div>');
    elem.before(wrapper);
    $compile(wrapper)(scope);
    wrapper.append(elem);
}

This solution has the advantage that it keeps things simple by not recompiling the original element.

This wouldn't work if any of the added directive's require any of the original element's directives or if the original element has absolute positioning.

How do I get the offset().top value of an element without using jQuery?

the accepted solution by Patrick Evans doesn't take scrolling into account. i've slightly changed his jsfiddle to demonstrate this:

css: add some random height to make sure we got some space to scroll

body{height:3000px;} 

js: set some scroll position

jQuery(window).scrollTop(100);

as a result the two reported values differ now: http://jsfiddle.net/sNLMe/66/

UPDATE Feb. 14 2015

there is a pull request for jqLite waiting, including its own offset method (taking care of current scroll position). have a look at the source in case you want to implement it yourself: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/3799/files

Transfer data between iOS and Android via Bluetooth?

Maybe a bit delayed, but technologies have evolved since so there is certainly new info around which draws fresh light on the matter...

As iOS has yet to open up an API for WiFi Direct and Multipeer Connectivity is iOS only, I believe the best way to approach this is to use BLE, which is supported by both platforms (some better than others).

On iOS a device can act both as a BLE Central and BLE Peripheral at the same time, on Android the situation is more complex as not all devices support the BLE Peripheral state. Also the Android BLE stack is very unstable (to date).

If your use case is feature driven, I would suggest to look at Frameworks and Libraries that can achieve cross platform communication for you, without you needing to build it up from scratch.

For example: http://p2pkit.io or google nearby

Disclaimer: I work for Uepaa, developing p2pkit.io for Android and iOS.

How to use passive FTP mode in Windows command prompt?

According to this Egnyte article, Passive FTP is supported from Windows 8.1 onwards.

The Registry key:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FTP\Use PASV"

should be set with the value: yes

If you don't like poking around in the Registry, do the following:

  1. Press WinKey+R to open the Run dialog.
  2. Type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter. The Internet Options dialog will open.
  3. Click on the Advanced tab.
  4. Make your way down to the Browsing secction of the tree view, and ensure the Use Passive FTP item is set to on.
  5. Click on the OK button.

Every time you use ftp.exe, remember to pass the

quote pasv

command immediately after logging in to a remote host.

PS: Grant ftp.exe access to private networks if your Firewall complains.

AngularJS - pass function to directive

@JorgeGRC Thanks for your answer. One thing though, the "maybe" part is very important. If you do have parameter(s), you must include it/them on your template as well and be sure to specify your locals e.g. updateFn({msg: "Directive Args"}.

How to send a correct authorization header for basic authentication

Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication , here is how to do Basic auth with a header instead of putting the username and password in the URL. Note that this still doesn't hide the username or password from anyone with access to the network or this JS code (e.g. a user executing it in a browser):

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: http://theappurl.com/api/v1/method/,
  data: {},
  crossDomain: true,
  beforeSend: function(xhr) {
    xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' + btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(YOUR_USERNAME + ':' + YOUR_PASSWORD))))
  }
});

Compiling dynamic HTML strings from database

ng-bind-html-unsafe only renders the content as HTML. It doesn't bind Angular scope to the resulted DOM. You have to use $compile service for that purpose. I created this plunker to demonstrate how to use $compile to create a directive rendering dynamic HTML entered by users and binding to the controller's scope. The source is posted below.

demo.html

    <div ng-controller="MyController">
      <textarea ng-model="html"></textarea>
      <div dynamic="html"></div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>

script.js

var app = angular.module('app', []);

app.directive('dynamic', function ($compile) {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    replace: true,
    link: function (scope, ele, attrs) {
      scope.$watch(attrs.dynamic, function(html) {
        ele.html(html);
        $compile(ele.contents())(scope);
      });
    }
  };
});

function MyController($scope) {
  $scope.click = function(arg) {
    alert('Clicked ' + arg);
  }
  $scope.html = '<a ng-click="click(1)" href="#">Click me</a>';
}

jQuery ui datepicker with Angularjs

I modified the code and wrapped view update inside $apply().

link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ngModelCtrl){   
var updateModel = function(dateText){
    // call $apply to update the model
    scope.$apply(function(){
        ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue(dateText);
    });
};
var options = {
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
     // handle jquery date change
    onSelect: function(dateText){
        updateModel(dateText);
    }
};
 // jqueryfy the element
elem.datepicker(options);

How to make cross domain request

You can make cross domain requests using the XMLHttpRequest object. This is done using something called "Cross Origin Resource Sharing". See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

Very simply put, when the request is made to the server the server can respond with a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header which will either allow or deny the request. The browser needs to check this header and if it is allowed then it will continue with the request process. If not the browser will cancel the request.

You can find some more information and a working example here: http://www.leggetter.co.uk/2010/03/12/making-cross-domain-javascript-requests-using-xmlhttprequest-or-xdomainrequest.html

JSONP is an alternative solution, but you could argue it's a bit of a hack.

angularjs directive call function specified in attribute and pass an argument to it

Marko's solution works well.

To contrast with recommended Angular way (as shown by treeface's plunkr) is to use a callback expression which does not require defining the expressionHandler. In marko's example change:

In template

<div my-method="theMethodToBeCalled(myParam)"></div>

In directive link function

$(element).click(function( e, rowid ) {
  scope.method({myParam: id});
});

This does have one disadvantage compared to marko's solution - on first load theMethodToBeCalled function will be invoked with myParam === undefined.

A working exampe can be found at @treeface Plunker

HTML5 pattern for formatting input box to take date mm/dd/yyyy?

Easiest way is use read only attribute to prevent direct user input:

 <input class="datepicker" type="text" name="date" value="" readonly />

Or you could use HTML5 validation based on pattern attribute. Date input pattern (dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy):

<input type="text" pattern="\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}" class="datepicker" name="date" value="" />

Correct way to integrate jQuery plugins in AngularJS

Yes, you are correct. If you are using a jQuery plugin, do not put the code in the controller. Instead create a directive and put the code that you would normally have inside the link function of the directive.

There are a couple of points in the documentation that you could take a look at. You can find them here:
Common Pitfalls

Using controllers correctly

Ensure that when you are referencing the script in your view, you refer it last - after the angularjs library, controllers, services and filters are referenced.

EDIT: Rather than using $(element), you can make use of angular.element(element) when using AngularJS with jQuery

Change class on mouseover in directive

I think it would be much easier to put an anchor tag around i. You can just use the css :hover selector. Less moving parts makes maintenance easier, and less javascript to load makes the page quicker.

This will do the trick:

<style>
 a.icon-link:hover {
   background-color: pink;
 }
</style>

<a href="#" class="icon-link" id="course-0"><i class="icon-thumbsup"></id></a>

How to call a method defined in an AngularJS directive?

Just use scope.$parent to associate function called to directive function

angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('MyCtrl',['$scope',function($scope) {

}])
.directive('mydirective',function(){

Add an incremental number in a field in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server

You can use the row_number() function for this.

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
            row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants 
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

If you want to start with the maximum already in the table then do:

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
           coalesce(const.maxs, 0) + row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants cross join
         (select max(sequence) as maxs from PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp) const
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

Finally, you can just make the sequence column an auto-incrementing identity column. This saves the need to increment it each time:

create table PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp ( . . .
    sequence int identity(1, 1) -- and might consider making this a primary key too
    . . .
)

printf a variable in C

Your printf needs a format string:

printf("%d\n", x);

This reference page gives details on how to use printf and related functions.

How to specify an alternate location for the .m2 folder or settings.xml permanently?

Below is the configuration in Maven software by default in MAVEN_HOME\conf\settings.xml.

<settings>
  <!-- localRepository
   | The path to the local repository maven will use to store artifacts.
   |
   | Default: ~/.m2/repository
  <localRepository>/path/to/local/repo</localRepository>
  -->

Add the below line under this configuration, will fulfill the requirement.

<localRepository>custom_path</localRepository>

Ex: <localRepository>D:/MYNAME/settings/.m2/repository</localRepository>

Getting IP address of client

I do like this,you can have a try

public String getIpAddr(HttpServletRequest request) {      
   String ip = request.getHeader("x-forwarded-for");      
   if(ip == null || ip.length() == 0 || "unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {      
       ip = request.getHeader("Proxy-Client-IP");      
   }      
   if(ip == null || ip.length() == 0 || "unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {      
       ip = request.getHeader("WL-Proxy-Client-IP");      
   }      
   if(ip == null || ip.length() == 0 || "unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {      
       ip = request.getRemoteAddr();      
   }      
   return ip;      
}   

How do I pass multiple attributes into an Angular.js attribute directive?

You could pass an object as attribute and read it into the directive like this:

<div my-directive="{id:123,name:'teo',salary:1000,color:red}"></div>

app.directive('myDirective', function () {
    return {            
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
           //convert the attributes to object and get its properties
           var attributes = scope.$eval(attrs.myDirective);       
           console.log('id:'+attributes.id);
           console.log('id:'+attributes.name);
        }
    };
});

Codeigniter's `where` and `or_where`

$this->db->where('(a = 1 or a = 2)');

AngularJS - Attribute directive input value change

Since this must have an input element as a parent, you could just use

<input type="text" ng-model="foo" ng-change="myOnChangeFunction()">

Alternatively, you could use the ngModelController and add a function to $formatters, which executes functions on input change. See http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngModel.NgModelController

.directive("myDirective", function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    require: 'ngModel',
    link: function(scope, element, attr, ngModel) {
      ngModel.$formatters.push(function(value) {
        // Do stuff here, and return the formatted value.
      });
  };
};

Why does the preflight OPTIONS request of an authenticated CORS request work in Chrome but not Firefox?

It was particular for me. I am sending a header named 'SESSIONHASH'. No problem for Chrome and Opera, but Firefox also wants this header in the list "Access-Control-Allow-Headers". Otherwise, Firefox will throw the CORS error.

How to require a controller in an angularjs directive

There is a good stackoverflow answer here by Mark Rajcok:

AngularJS directive controllers requiring parent directive controllers?

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

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

JavaScript

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

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

.directive('component', function() {
    return {
        scope: true,
        require: '^screen',

Can I inject a service into a directive in AngularJS?

Change your directive definition from app.module to app.directive. Apart from that everything looks fine. Btw, very rarely do you have to inject a service into a directive. If you are injecting a service ( which usually is a data source or model ) into your directive ( which is kind of part of a view ), you are creating a direct coupling between your view and model. You need to separate them out by wiring them together using a controller.

It does work fine. I am not sure what you are doing which is wrong. Here is a plunk of it working.

An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext - Spring 3.2.2

I had the same problem when and I solved it by using the following annotation :

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {
        SecurityAutoConfiguration.class
})
public class Application {...}

I think the behavior is the same as what Abhishek explained

AngularJS: ng-repeat list is not updated when a model element is spliced from the model array

Remove "track by index" from the ng-repeat and it would refresh the DOM

How to filter rows in pandas by regex

It may be a bit late, but this is now easier to do in Pandas by calling Series.str.match. The docs explain the difference between match, fullmatch and contains.

Note that in order to use the results for indexing, set the na=False argument (or True if you want to include NANs in the results).

How to display length of filtered ng-repeat data

It is also useful to note that you can store multiple levels of results by grouping filters

all items: {{items.length}}
filtered items: {{filteredItems.length}}
limited and filtered items: {{limitedAndFilteredItems.length}}
<div ng-repeat="item in limitedAndFilteredItems = (filteredItems = (items | filter:search) | limitTo:25)">...</div>

here's a demo fiddle

How can I dynamically add a directive in AngularJS?

You have a lot of pointless jQuery in there, but the $compile service is actually super simple in this case:

.directive( 'test', function ( $compile ) {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    scope: { text: '@' },
    template: '<p ng-click="add()">{{text}}</p>',
    controller: function ( $scope, $element ) {
      $scope.add = function () {
        var el = $compile( "<test text='n'></test>" )( $scope );
        $element.parent().append( el );
      };
    }
  };
});

You'll notice I refactored your directive too in order to follow some best practices. Let me know if you have questions about any of those.

Calling a function when ng-repeat has finished

Please have a look at the fiddle, http://jsfiddle.net/yNXS2/. Since the directive you created didn't created a new scope i continued in the way.

$scope.test = function(){... made that happen.

"Thinking in AngularJS" if I have a jQuery background?

Those are some very nice, but lengthy answers.

To sum up my experiences:

  1. Controllers and providers (services, factories, etc.) are for modifying the data model, NOT HTML.
  2. HTML and directives define the layout and binding to the model.
  3. If you need to share data between controllers, create a service or factory - they are singletons that are shared across the application.
  4. If you need an HTML widget, create a directive.
  5. If you have some data and are now trying to update HTML... STOP! update the model, and make sure your HTML is bound to the model.

How to create a directive with a dynamic template in AngularJS?

i've used the $templateCache to accomplish something similar. i put several ng-templates in a single html file, which i reference using the directive's templateUrl. that ensures the html is available to the template cache. then i can simply select by id to get the ng-template i want.

template.html:

<script type="text/ng-template" id=“foo”>
foo
</script>

<script type="text/ng-template" id=“bar”>
bar
</script>

directive:

myapp.directive(‘foobardirective’, ['$compile', '$templateCache', function ($compile, $templateCache) {

    var getTemplate = function(data) {
        // use data to determine which template to use
        var templateid = 'foo';
        var template = $templateCache.get(templateid);
        return template;
    }

    return {
        templateUrl: 'views/partials/template.html',
        scope: {data: '='},
        restrict: 'E',
        link: function(scope, element) {
            var template = getTemplate(scope.data);

            element.html(template);
            $compile(element.contents())(scope);
        }
    };
}]);

AngularJS: Insert HTML from a string

Have a look at the example in this link :

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngSanitize.$sanitize

Basically, angular has a directive to insert html into pages. In your case you can insert the html using the ng-bind-html directive like so :

If you already have done all this :

// My magic HTML string function.
function htmlString (str) {
    return "<h1>" + str + "</h1>";
}

function Ctrl ($scope) {
  var str = "HELLO!";
  $scope.htmlString = htmlString(str);
}
Ctrl.$inject = ["$scope"];

Then in your html within the scope of that controller, you could

<div ng-bind-html="htmlString"></div>

Array.Add vs +=

If you want a dynamically sized array, then you should make a list. Not only will you get the .Add() functionality, but as @frode-f explains, dynamic arrays are more memory efficient and a better practice anyway.

And it's so easy to use.

Instead of your array declaration, try this:

$outItems = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Object]

Adding items is simple.

$outItems.Add(1)
$outItems.Add("hi")

And if you really want an array when you're done, there's a function for that too.

$outItems.ToArray()

How do I restrict an input to only accept numbers?

I know this is old, but I've created a directive for this purpose in case anyone is looking for an easy solution. Very simple to use.

Spring Security redirect to previous page after successful login

You can use a Custom SuccessHandler extending SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler for redirecting users to different URLs when login according to their assigned roles.

CustomSuccessHandler class provides custom redirect functionality:

package com.mycompany.uomrmsweb.configuration;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.web.DefaultRedirectStrategy;
import org.springframework.security.web.RedirectStrategy;
import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class CustomSuccessHandler extends SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler{

    private RedirectStrategy redirectStrategy = new DefaultRedirectStrategy();

    @Override
    protected void handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Authentication authentication) throws IOException {
        String targetUrl = determineTargetUrl(authentication);

        if (response.isCommitted()) {
            System.out.println("Can't redirect");
            return;
        }

        redirectStrategy.sendRedirect(request, response, targetUrl);
    }

    protected String determineTargetUrl(Authentication authentication) {
        String url="";

        Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> authorities =  authentication.getAuthorities();

        List<String> roles = new ArrayList<String>();

        for (GrantedAuthority a : authorities) {
            roles.add(a.getAuthority());
        }

        if (isStaff(roles)) {
            url = "/staff";
        } else if (isAdmin(roles)) {
            url = "/admin";
        } else if (isStudent(roles)) {
            url = "/student";
        }else if (isUser(roles)) {
            url = "/home";
        } else {
            url="/Access_Denied";
        }

        return url;
    }

    public void setRedirectStrategy(RedirectStrategy redirectStrategy) {
        this.redirectStrategy = redirectStrategy;
    }
    protected RedirectStrategy getRedirectStrategy() {
        return redirectStrategy;
    }

    private boolean isUser(List<String> roles) {
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_USER")) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private boolean isStudent(List<String> roles) {
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_Student")) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private boolean isAdmin(List<String> roles) {
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_SystemAdmin") || roles.contains("ROLE_ExaminationsStaff")) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private boolean isStaff(List<String> roles) {
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_AcademicStaff") || roles.contains("ROLE_UniversityAdmin")) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Extending Spring SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler class and overriding handle() method which simply invokes a redirect using configured RedirectStrategy [default in this case] with the URL returned by the user defined determineTargetUrl() method. This method extracts the Roles of currently logged in user from Authentication object and then construct appropriate URL based on there roles. Finally RedirectStrategy , which is responsible for all redirections within Spring Security framework , redirects the request to specified URL.

Registering CustomSuccessHandler using SecurityConfiguration class:

package com.mycompany.uomrmsweb.configuration;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("customUserDetailsService")
    UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    @Autowired
    CustomSuccessHandler customSuccessHandler;

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobalSecurity(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
            auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/", "/home").access("hasRole('USER')")
        .antMatchers("/admin/**").access("hasRole('SystemAdmin') or hasRole('ExaminationsStaff')")
        .antMatchers("/staff/**").access("hasRole('AcademicStaff') or hasRole('UniversityAdmin')")
        .antMatchers("/student/**").access("hasRole('Student')")  
                    .and().formLogin().loginPage("/login").successHandler(customSuccessHandler)
        .usernameParameter("username").passwordParameter("password")
        .and().csrf()
        .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");
    }
}

successHandler is the class responsible for eventual redirection based on any custom logic, which in this case will be to redirect the user [to student/admin/staff ] based on his role [USER/Student/SystemAdmin/UniversityAdmin/ExaminationsStaff/AcademicStaff].

AngularJS - Create a directive that uses ng-model

it' s not so complicated: in your dirctive, use an alias: scope:{alias:'=ngModel'}

.directive('dateselect', function () {
return {
    restrict: 'E',
    transclude: true,
    scope:{
        bindModel:'=ngModel'
    },
    template:'<input ng-model="bindModel"/>'
}

in your html, use as normal

<dateselect ng-model="birthday"></dateselect>

How to implement history.back() in angular.js

Another nice and reusable solution is to create a directive like this:

app.directive( 'backButton', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function( scope, element, attrs ) {
            element.on( 'click', function () {
                history.back();
                scope.$apply();
            } );
        }
    };
} );

then just use it like this:

<a href back-button>back</a>

$watch'ing for data changes in an Angular directive

My version for a directive that uses jqplot to plot the data once it becomes available:

    app.directive('lineChart', function() {
        $.jqplot.config.enablePlugins = true;

        return function(scope, element, attrs) {
            scope.$watch(attrs.lineChart, function(newValue, oldValue) {
                if (newValue) {
                    // alert(scope.$eval(attrs.lineChart));
                    var plot = $.jqplot(element[0].id, scope.$eval(attrs.lineChart), scope.$eval(attrs.options));
                }
            });
        }
});

Limit the height of a responsive image with css

The trick is to add both max-height: 100%; and max-width: 100%; to .container img. Example CSS:

.container {
  width: 300px;
  border: dashed blue 1px;
}

.container img {
  max-height: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
}

In this way, you can vary the specified width of .container in whatever way you want (200px or 10% for example), and the image will be no larger than its natural dimensions. (You could specify pixels instead of 100% if you didn't want to rely on the natural size of the image.)

Here's the whole fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/KatieK/Su28P/1/

cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'MyElement'

I had this error for my XXX element and it was because my XSD was wrongly formatted according to javax.xml.bind v2.2.11 . I think it's using an older XSD format but I didn't bother to confirm.

My initial wrong XSD was alike the following:

<xs:element name="Document" type="Document"/>
...
<xs:complexType name="Document">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="XXX" type="XXX_TYPE"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

The good XSD format for my migration to succeed was the following:

<xs:element name="Document">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element ref="XXX"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>        
</xs:element>
...
<xs:element name="XXX" type="XXX_TYPE"/>

And so on for every similar XSD nodes.

Scroll / Jump to id without jQuery

Add the function:

function scrollToForm() {
  document.querySelector('#form').scrollIntoView({behavior: 'smooth'});
}

Trigger the function:

<a href="javascript: scrollToForm();">Jump to form</a>

Reading RFID with Android phones

NFC enabled phones can ONLY read NFC and passive high frequency RFID (HF-RFID). These must be read at an extremely close range, typically a few centimeters. For longer range or any other type of RFID/active RFID, you must use an external reader for handling them with mobile devices.

You can get some decent readers from a lot of manufacturers by simply searching on google. There are a lot of plug in ones for all device types.

I deal a lot with HID readers capable of close proximity scans of HID enabled ID cards as well as NFC from smart phones and smart cards. I use SerialIO badge readers that I load a decryption profile onto that allows our secure company cards to be read and utilized by an application I built. They are great for large scale reliable bluetooth scanning. Because they are bluetooth, they work for PC/Android/iOS/Linux. The only problem is, HID readers are very expensive and are meant for enterprise use. Ours cost about $400 each, but again, they read HID, SmartCards, NFC, and RFID.

If this is a personal project, I suggest just using the phone and purchasing some HF-RFID tags. The tag manufacturer should have an SDK for you to use to connect to and manage the tags. You can also just use androids NFC docs to get started https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/. Most android phones from the last 8 years have NFC, only iPhone 6 and newer apple phones have NFC, but only iOS 11 and newer will work for what you want to do.

Reference - What does this error mean in PHP?

Warning: function() expects parameter X to be boolean (or integer, string, etc)

If the wrong type of parameter is passed to a function – and PHP cannot convert it automatically – a warning is thrown. This warning identifies which parameter is the problem, and what data type is expected. The solution: change the indicated parameter to the correct data type.


For example this code:

echo substr(["foo"], 23);

Results in this output:

PHP Warning: substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

How to Increase Import Size Limit in phpMyAdmin

if you're using xampp, find the php.ini (in xampp folder itself), go to line 735 and change the post_max_size to the value you wish. ex: if you want to upgrade to 80MiB,

post_max_size = 80M

make sure to restart apache after changing the value.

That's it...

How do I find files with a path length greater than 260 characters in Windows?

I created the Path Length Checker tool for this purpose, which is a nice, free GUI app that you can use to see the path lengths of all files and directories in a given directory.

I've also written and blogged about a simple PowerShell script for getting file and directory lengths. It will output the length and path to a file, and optionally write it to the console as well. It doesn't limit to displaying files that are only over a certain length (an easy modification to make), but displays them descending by length, so it's still super easy to see which paths are over your threshold. Here it is:

$pathToScan = "C:\Some Folder"  # The path to scan and the the lengths for (sub-directories will be scanned as well).
$outputFilePath = "C:\temp\PathLengths.txt" # This must be a file in a directory that exists and does not require admin rights to write to.
$writeToConsoleAsWell = $true   # Writing to the console will be much slower.

# Open a new file stream (nice and fast) and write all the paths and their lengths to it.

Can you autoplay HTML5 videos on the iPad?

In this Safari HTML5 reference, you can read

To prevent unsolicited downloads over cellular networks at the user’s expense, embedded media cannot be played automatically in Safari on iOS—the user always initiates playback. A controller is automatically supplied on iPhone or iPod touch once playback in initiated, but for iPad you must either set the controls attribute or provide a controller using JavaScript.

Convert double to BigDecimal and set BigDecimal Precision

The reason of such behaviour is that the string that is printed is the exact value - probably not what you expected, but that's the real value stored in memory - it's just a limitation of floating point representation.

According to javadoc, BigDecimal(double val) constructor behaviour can be unexpected if you don't take into consideration this limitation:

The results of this constructor can be somewhat unpredictable. One might assume that writing new BigDecimal(0.1) in Java creates a BigDecimal which is exactly equal to 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is actually equal to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625. This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a double (or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of any finite length). Thus, the value that is being passed in to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1, appearances notwithstanding.

So in your case, instead of using

double val = 77.48;
new BigDecimal(val);

use

BigDecimal.valueOf(val);

Value that is returned by BigDecimal.valueOf is equal to that resulting from invocation of Double.toString(double).

How can I stop the browser back button using JavaScript?

history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function () {
    history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
});

This JavaScript code does not allow any user to go back (works in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Edge).

How to make input type= file Should accept only pdf and xls

I would filter the files server side, because there are tools, such as Live HTTP Headers on Firefox that would allow to upload any file, including a shell. People could hack your site. Do it server site, to be safe.

How to restrict the selectable date ranges in Bootstrap Datepicker?

The Bootstrap datepicker is able to set date-range. But it is not available in the initial release/Master Branch. Check the branch as 'range' there (or just see at https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker), you can do it simply with startDate and endDate.

Example:

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
    startDate: '-2m',
    endDate: '+2d'
});

Accessing attributes from an AngularJS directive

See section Attributes from documentation on directives.

observing interpolated attributes: Use $observe to observe the value changes of attributes that contain interpolation (e.g. src="{{bar}}"). Not only is this very efficient but it's also the only way to easily get the actual value because during the linking phase the interpolation hasn't been evaluated yet and so the value is at this time set to undefined.

How do you handle a "cannot instantiate abstract class" error in C++?

Visual Studio's Error List pane only shows you the first line of the error. Invoke View>Output and I bet you'll see something like:

c:\path\to\your\code.cpp(42): error C2259: 'AmbientOccluder' : cannot instantiate abstract class
          due to following members:
          'ULONG MysteryUnimplementedMethod(void)' : is abstract
          c:\path\to\some\include.h(8) : see declaration of 'MysteryUnimplementedMethod'

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference PHP 5.4

You should remove the & (ampersand) symbol, so that line 4 will look like this:

$conn = ADONewConnection($config['db_type']);

This is because ADONewConnection already returns an object by reference. As per documentation, assigning the result of a reference to object by reference results in an E_DEPRECATED message as of PHP 5.3.0

Illegal mix of collations (utf8_unicode_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation '='

This happens where a column is explicitly set to a different collation or the default collation is different in the table queried.

if you have many tables you want to change collation on run this query:

select concat('ALTER TABLE ', t.table_name , ' CONVERT TO CHARACTER 
SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;') from (SELECT table_name FROM 
information_schema.tables where table_schema='SCHRMA') t;

this will output the queries needed to convert all the tables to use the correct collation per column

How to use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR properly?

I like Hrishikesh's answer, to which I only have this to add...because we saw a comma-delimited string coming across when multiple proxies along the way were used, we found it necessary to add an explode and grab the final value, like this:

$IParray=array_values(array_filter(explode(',',$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])));
return end($IParray);

the array_filter is in there to remove empty entries.

How to get the caller class in Java

Find below a simple example illustrating how to get class and method names.

public static void main(String args[])
   {
      callMe();
   }

   void callMe()
   {
      try
      {
         throw new Exception("Who called me?");
      }
      catch( Exception e )
      {
         System.out.println( "I was called by " + 
                             e.getStackTrace()[1].getClassName() + 
                             "." +
                             e.getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName() + 
                             "()!" );
      }
   }

e has getClassName(), getFileName(), getLineNumber() and getMethodName()...

Restricting JTextField input to Integers

I can't believe I haven't found this simple solution anywhere on stack overflow yet, it is by far the most useful. Changing the Document or DocumentFilter does not work for JFormattedTextField. Peter Tseng's answer comes very close.

NumberFormat longFormat = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance();

NumberFormatter numberFormatter = new NumberFormatter(longFormat);
numberFormatter.setValueClass(Long.class); //optional, ensures you will always get a long value
numberFormatter.setAllowsInvalid(false); //this is the key!!
numberFormatter.setMinimum(0l); //Optional

JFormattedTextField field = new JFormattedTextField(numberFormatter);

restrict edittext to single line

for me i do it like this , go to your textView in xml file and add this two lines

` android:maxLines="1"

android:inputType="text"`

Error message "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server"

I had the same issue, but due to the fact that I changed the path on apache to a folder outside var/www, I started running into problems.

I fixed it by creating a symlink in var/www/html > home/dev/project which seemed to do the trick, without having to change any permissions...

Multi-Column Join in Hibernate/JPA Annotations

Hibernate is not going to make it easy for you to do what you are trying to do. From the Hibernate documentation:

Note that when using referencedColumnName to a non primary key column, the associated class has to be Serializable. Also note that the referencedColumnName to a non primary key column has to be mapped to a property having a single column (other cases might not work). (emphasis added)

So if you are unwilling to make AnEmbeddableObject the Identifier for Bar then Hibernate is not going to lazily, automatically retrieve Bar for you. You can, of course, still use HQL to write queries that join on AnEmbeddableObject, but you lose automatic fetching and life cycle maintenance if you insist on using a multi-column non-primary key for Bar.

Customizing the template within a Directive

Tried to use the solution proposed by Misko, but in my situation, some attributes, which needed to be merged into my template html, were themselves directives.

Unfortunately, not all of the directives referenced by the resulting template did work correctly. I did not have enough time to dive into angular code and find out the root cause, but found a workaround, which could potentially be helpful.

The solution was to move the code, which creates the template html, from compile to a template function. Example based on code from above:

    angular.module('formComponents', [])
  .directive('formInput', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        template: function(element, attrs) {
           var type = attrs.type || 'text';
            var required = attrs.hasOwnProperty('required') ? "required='required'" : "";
            var htmlText = '<div class="control-group">' +
                '<label class="control-label" for="' + attrs.formId + '">' + attrs.label + '</label>' +
                    '<div class="controls">' +
                    '<input type="' + type + '" class="input-xlarge" id="' + attrs.formId + '" name="' + attrs.formId + '" ' + required + '>' +
                    '</div>' +
                '</div>';
             return htmlText;
        }
        compile: function(element, attrs)
        {
           //do whatever else is necessary
        }
    }
})

Using ChildActionOnly in MVC

X-Frame-Options Allow-From multiple domains

From RFC 7034:

Wildcards or lists to declare multiple domains in one ALLOW-FROM statement are not permitted

So,

How do I set the X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM to support more than a single domain?

You can't. As a workaround you can use different URLs for different partners. For each URL you can use it's own X-Frame-Options value. For example:

partner   iframe URL       ALLOW-FROM
---------------------------------------
Facebook  fb.yoursite.com  facebook.com
VK.COM    vk.yoursite.com  vk.com

For yousite.com you can just use X-Frame-Options: deny.

BTW, for now Chrome (and all webkit-based browsers) does not support ALLOW-FROM statements at all.

Allow only numbers and dot in script

You can use this

Javascript

function isNumber(evt) {
    evt = (evt) ? evt : window.event;
    var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
    if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57)&&(charCode!=46)) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Usage

 <input onkeypress="return isNumber(event)" class="form-control">

Why is my locally-created script not allowed to run under the RemoteSigned execution policy?

I have found out when running a PS1 file for a Mapped drive to Dropbox that I'm always getting this error. When opening up properties for the PS1 there is no "Unblock".

The only thing that work for me is

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file .\Script.ps1

html select only one checkbox in a group

You'd want to bind a change() handler so that the event will fire when the state of a checkbox changes. Then, just deselect all checkboxes apart from the one which triggered the handler:

$('input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function() {
   $('input[type="checkbox"]').not(this).prop('checked', false);
});

Here's a fiddle


As for grouping, if your checkbox "groups" were all siblings:

<div>
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
</div>  
<div>
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
</div>   
<div>
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" />
</div>

You could do this:

$('input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function() {
   $(this).siblings('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', false);
});

Here's another fiddle


If your checkboxes are grouped by another attribute, such as name:

<input type="checkbox" name="group1[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group1[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group1[]" />

<input type="checkbox" name="group2[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group2[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group2[]" />

<input type="checkbox" name="group3[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group3[]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="group3[]" />

You could do this:

$('input[type="checkbox"]').on('change', function() {
    $('input[name="' + this.name + '"]').not(this).prop('checked', false);
});

Here's another fiddle

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

it is also possible to implement what you want using a single layer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <item
        android:bottom="-5dp"
        android:right="-5dp"
        android:top="-5dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
            <solid android:color="@color/color_of_the_background" />

            <stroke
                android:width="5dp"
                android:color="@color/color_of_the_border" />
        </shape>
    </item>

</layer-list>

this way only left border is visible but you can achieve any combination you want by playing with bottom, left, right and top attributes of the item element

Bloomberg Open API

This API has been available for a long time and enables to get access to market data (including live) if you are running a Bloomberg Terminal or have access to a Bloomberg Server, which is chargeable.

The only difference is that the API (not its code) has been open sourced, so it can now be used as a dependency in an open source project for example, without any copyrights issues, which was not the case before.

How to filter input type="file" dialog by specific file type?

See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_accept.asp:

The accept attribute is supported in all major browsers, except Internet Explorer and Safari. Definition and Usage

The accept attribute specifies the types of files that the server accepts (that can be submitted through a file upload).

Note: The accept attribute can only be used with <input type="file">.

Tip: Do not use this attribute as a validation tool. File uploads should be validated on the server.

Syntax <input accept="audio/*|video/*|image/*|MIME_type" />

Tip: To specify more than one value, separate the values with a comma (e.g. <input accept="audio/*,video/*,image/*" />.

XML Schema How to Restrict Attribute by Enumeration

<xs:element name="price" type="decimal">
<xs:attribute name="currency" type="xs:string" value="(euros|pounds|dollars)" /> 
</element> 

This would eliminate the need for enumeration completely. You could change type to double if required.

Number input type that takes only integers?

Pattern is nice but if you want to restrict the input to numbers only with type="text", you can use oninput and a regex as below:

<input type="text" oninput="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g,'');" id="myId"/>

I warks for me :)

Hibernate Criteria Join with 3 Tables

The fetch mode only says that the association must be fetched. If you want to add restrictions on an associated entity, you must create an alias, or a subcriteria. I generally prefer using aliases, but YMMV:

Criteria c = session.createCriteria(Dokument.class, "dokument");
c.createAlias("dokument.role", "role"); // inner join by default
c.createAlias("role.contact", "contact");
c.add(Restrictions.eq("contact.lastName", "Test"));
return c.list();

This is of course well explained in the Hibernate reference manual, and the javadoc for Criteria even has examples. Read the documentation: it has plenty of useful information.

Limit number of characters allowed in form input text field

You can use <input type = "text" maxlength="9"> or

<input type = "number" maxlength="9"> for numbers or <input type = "email" maxlength="9"> for email validation will show up

Why is JsonRequestBehavior needed?

To make it easier for yourself you could also create an actionfilterattribute

public class AllowJsonGetAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var jsonResult = filterContext.Result as JsonResult;

        if (jsonResult == null)
            throw new ArgumentException("Action does not return a JsonResult, 
                                                   attribute AllowJsonGet is not allowed");

        jsonResult.JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet;            

        base.OnResultExecuting(filterContext);
    }
}

and use it on your action

[AllowJsonGet]
public JsonResult MyAjaxAction()
{
    return Json("this is my test");
}

How can I limit possible inputs in a HTML5 "number" element?

As stated by others, min/max is not the same as maxlength because people could still enter a float that would be larger than the maximum string length that you intended. To truly emulate the maxlength attribute, you can do something like this in a pinch (this is equivalent to maxlength="16"):

<input type="number" oninput="if(value.length>16)value=value.slice(0,16)">

Jenkins restrict view of jobs per user

Only one plugin help me: Role-Based Strategy :

wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin

But official documentation (wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin) is deficient.

The following configurations worked for me:

configure-role-strategy-plugin-in-jenkins

Basically you just need to create roles and match them with job names using regex.

Mercurial: how to amend the last commit?

GUI equivalent for hg commit --amend:

This also works from TortoiseHG's GUI (I'm using v2.5):

Swich to the 'Commit' view or, in the workbench view, select the 'working directory' entry. The 'Commit' button has an option named 'Amend current revision' (click the button's drop-down arrow to find it).

enter image description here

          ||
          ||
          \/

enter image description here

Caveat emptor:

This extra option will only be enabled if the mercurial version is at least 2.2.0, and if the current revision is not public, is not a patch and has no children. [...]

Clicking the button will call 'commit --amend' to 'amend' the revision.

Hibernate Criteria Restrictions AND / OR combination

For the new Criteria since version Hibernate 5.2:

CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = getSession().getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<SomeClass> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(SomeClass.class);

Root<SomeClass> root = criteriaQuery.from(SomeClass.class);

Path<Object> expressionA = root.get("A");
Path<Object> expressionB = root.get("B");

Predicate predicateAEqualX = criteriaBuilder.equal(expressionA, "X");
Predicate predicateBInXY = expressionB.in("X",Y);
Predicate predicateLeft = criteriaBuilder.and(predicateAEqualX, predicateBInXY);

Predicate predicateAEqualY = criteriaBuilder.equal(expressionA, Y);
Predicate predicateBEqualZ = criteriaBuilder.equal(expressionB, "Z");
Predicate predicateRight = criteriaBuilder.and(predicateAEqualY, predicateBEqualZ);

Predicate predicateResult = criteriaBuilder.or(predicateLeft, predicateRight);

criteriaQuery
        .select(root)
        .where(predicateResult);

List<SomeClass> list = getSession()

How do I add multiple "NOT LIKE '%?%' in the WHERE clause of sqlite3?

If you use Sqlite's REGEXP support ( see the answer at Problem with regexp python and sqlite for how to do that ) , then you can do it easily in one clause:

jQuery Ajax requests are getting cancelled without being sent

I had the same problem, but in my case it turned out to be a cookie issue. The guys working on the back-end had changed the path of the JSESSIONID cookie that's set when we log in to our app, and I had an old cookie by that name on my computer, but with the old path. So when I tried logging in the browser (Chrome) sent two cookies called JSESSIONID, with different values, to the server - which understandably confused it - so it cancelled the request. Deleting the cookies from my computer fixed it.

}

You can use it like this:

textField.setTextFormatter(new TextFieldValidator(ValidationModus.INTEGERS_ONLY).getFormatter());

or you can instantiate it in a fxml file, and apply it to a customTextField with the according properties.

app.fxml:

<fx:define>
    <TextFieldValidator fx:id="validator" modus="INTEGERS_ONLY"/>
</fx:define>

CustomTextField.class:

public class CustomTextField {

private TextField textField;

public CustomTextField(@NamedArg("validator") TextFieldValidator validator) {
        this();
        textField.setTextFormatter(validator.getFormatter());
    }
}

Script to kill all connections to a database (More than RESTRICTED_USER ROLLBACK)

You can get the script that SSMS provides by doing the following:

  1. Right-click on a database in SSMS and choose delete
  2. In the dialog, check the checkbox for "Close existing connections."
  3. Click the Script button at the top of the dialog.

The script will look something like this:

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [YourDatabaseName] SET  SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
USE [master]
GO
DROP DATABASE [YourDatabaseName]
GO

Foreign key constraints: When to use ON UPDATE and ON DELETE

Do not hesitate to put constraints on the database. You'll be sure to have a consistent database, and that's one of the good reasons to use a database. Especially if you have several applications requesting it (or just one application but with a direct mode and a batch mode using different sources).

With MySQL you do not have advanced constraints like you would have in postgreSQL but at least the foreign key constraints are quite advanced.

We'll take an example, a company table with a user table containing people from theses company

CREATE TABLE COMPANY (
     company_id INT NOT NULL,
     company_name VARCHAR(50),
     PRIMARY KEY (company_id)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

CREATE TABLE USER (
     user_id INT, 
     user_name VARCHAR(50), 
     company_id INT,
     INDEX company_id_idx (company_id),
     FOREIGN KEY (company_id) REFERENCES COMPANY (company_id) ON...
) ENGINE=INNODB;

Let's look at the ON UPDATE clause:

  • ON UPDATE RESTRICT : the default : if you try to update a company_id in table COMPANY the engine will reject the operation if one USER at least links on this company.
  • ON UPDATE NO ACTION : same as RESTRICT.
  • ON UPDATE CASCADE : the best one usually : if you update a company_id in a row of table COMPANY the engine will update it accordingly on all USER rows referencing this COMPANY (but no triggers activated on USER table, warning). The engine will track the changes for you, it's good.
  • ON UPDATE SET NULL : if you update a company_id in a row of table COMPANY the engine will set related USERs company_id to NULL (should be available in USER company_id field). I cannot see any interesting thing to do with that on an update, but I may be wrong.

And now on the ON DELETE side:

  • ON DELETE RESTRICT : the default : if you try to delete a company_id Id in table COMPANY the engine will reject the operation if one USER at least links on this company, can save your life.
  • ON DELETE NO ACTION : same as RESTRICT
  • ON DELETE CASCADE : dangerous : if you delete a company row in table COMPANY the engine will delete as well the related USERs. This is dangerous but can be used to make automatic cleanups on secondary tables (so it can be something you want, but quite certainly not for a COMPANY<->USER example)
  • ON DELETE SET NULL : handful : if you delete a COMPANY row the related USERs will automatically have the relationship to NULL. If Null is your value for users with no company this can be a good behavior, for example maybe you need to keep the users in your application, as authors of some content, but removing the company is not a problem for you.

usually my default is: ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE. with some ON DELETE CASCADE for track tables (logs--not all logs--, things like that) and ON DELETE SET NULL when the master table is a 'simple attribute' for the table containing the foreign key, like a JOB table for the USER table.

Edit

It's been a long time since I wrote that. Now I think I should add one important warning. MySQL has one big documented limitation with cascades. Cascades are not firing triggers. So if you were over confident enough in that engine to use triggers you should avoid cascades constraints.

MySQL triggers activate only for changes made to tables by SQL statements. They do not activate for changes in views, nor by changes to tables made by APIs that do not transmit SQL statements to the MySQL Server

==> See below the last edit, things are moving on this domain

Triggers are not activated by foreign key actions.

And I do not think this will get fixed one day. Foreign key constraints are managed by the InnoDb storage and Triggers are managed by the MySQL SQL engine. Both are separated. Innodb is the only storage with constraint management, maybe they'll add triggers directly in the storage engine one day, maybe not.

But I have my own opinion on which element you should choose between the poor trigger implementation and the very useful foreign keys constraints support. And once you'll get used to database consistency you'll love PostgreSQL.

12/2017-Updating this Edit about MySQL:

as stated by @IstiaqueAhmed in the comments, the situation has changed on this subject. So follow the link and check the real up-to-date situation (which may change again in the future).

How does Zalgo text work?

Zalgo text works because of combining characters. These are special characters that allow to modify character that comes before.

enter image description here

OR

y + ̆ = y̆ which actually is

y + &#x0306; = y&#x0306;

Since you can stack them one atop the other you can produce the following:


y̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆

which actually is:

y&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;

The same goes for putting stuff underneath:


y̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̰̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆̆



that in fact is:

y&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0306;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;&#x0330;

In Unicode, the main block of combining diacritics for European languages and the International Phonetic Alphabet is U+0300–U+036F.

More about it here

To produce a list of combining diacritical marks you can use the following script (since links keep on dying)

_x000D_
_x000D_
for(var i=768; i<879; i++){console.log(new DOMParser().parseFromString("&#"+i+";", "text/html").documentElement.textContent +"  "+"&#"+i+";");}

Hibernate Criteria for Dates

Why do you use Restrictions.like(...)?

You should use Restrictions.eq(...).

Note you can also use .le, .lt, .ge, .gt on date objects as comparison operators. LIKE operator is not appropriate for this case since LIKE is useful when you want to match results according to partial content of a column. Please see http://www.sql-tutorial.net/SQL-LIKE.asp for the reference.

For example if you have a name column with some people's full name, you can do where name like 'robert %' so that you will return all entries with name starting with 'robert ' (% can replace any character).

In your case you know the full content of the date you're trying to match so you shouldn't use LIKE but equality. I guess Hibernate doesn't give you any exception in this case, but anyway you will probably have the same problem with the Restrictions.eq(...).

Your date object you got with the code:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-YYYY");
String myDate = "17-04-2011";
Date date = formatter.parse(myDate);

This date object is equals to the 17-04-2011 at 0h, 0 minutes, 0 seconds and 0 nanoseconds.

This means that your entries in database must have exactly that date. What i mean is that if your database entry has a date "17-April-2011 19:20:23.707000000", then it won't be retrieved because you just ask for that date: "17-April-2011 00:00:00.0000000000".

If you want to retrieve all entries of your database from a given day, you will have to use the following code:

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-YYYY");
    String myDate = "17-04-2011";
    // Create date 17-04-2011 - 00h00
    Date minDate = formatter.parse(myDate);
    // Create date 18-04-2011 - 00h00 
    // -> We take the 1st date and add it 1 day in millisecond thanks to a useful and not so known class
    Date maxDate = new Date(minDate.getTime() + TimeUnit.DAYS.toMillis(1));
    Conjunction and = Restrictions.conjunction();
    // The order date must be >= 17-04-2011 - 00h00
    and.add( Restrictions.ge("orderDate", minDate) );
    // And the order date must be < 18-04-2011 - 00h00
    and.add( Restrictions.lt("orderDate", maxDate) ); 

Make DateTimePicker work as TimePicker only in WinForms

If you want to do it from properties, you can do this by setting the Format property of DateTimePicker to DateTimePickerFormat.Time and ShowUpDown property to true. Also, customFormat can be set in properties.

import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder results in error compiled in Eclipse

Sure - just don't use the Sun base64 encoder/decoder. There are plenty of other options available, including Apache Codec or this public domain implementation.

Then read why you shouldn't use sun.* packages.

failed to lazily initialize a collection of role

as suggested here solving the famous LazyInitializationException is one of the following methods:

(1) Use Hibernate.initialize

Hibernate.initialize(topics.getComments());

(2) Use JOIN FETCH

You can use the JOIN FETCH syntax in your JPQL to explicitly fetch the child collection out. This is somehow like EAGER fetching.

(3) Use OpenSessionInViewFilter

LazyInitializationException often occurs in the view layer. If you use Spring framework, you can use OpenSessionInViewFilter. However, I do not suggest you to do so. It may leads to a performance issue if not used correctly.

how to properly display an iFrame in mobile safari

Don't scroll the IFrame page or its content, scroll the parent page. If you control the IFrame content, you can use the iframe-resizer library to turn the iframe element itself into a proper block level element, with a natural/correct/native height. Also, don't attempt to position (fixed, absolute) your iframe in the parent page, or present an iframe in a modal window, especially if it has form elements.

I also suspect that iOS Safari has a non-standards behavior that expands your iframe's height to its natural height, much like the iframe-resizer library will do for desktop browsers, which seem to render responsive iframe content at height 0px or 150px or some other not useful default. If you need to contrain width, try a max-width style inside the iframe.

How to get a complete list of ticker symbols from Yahoo Finance?

I had same problem, but I think I have simple solution(code is from my RoR app): Extract industry ids from yahoo.finance.sectors and add it to db:

    select = "select * from yahoo.finance.sectors"
    generate_query select
    @data.each do |data|
      data["industry"].each do |ind|
        unless ind.kind_of?(Array)
          unless ind["id"].nil?
            id = ind["id"].to_i
            if id > 0
              Industry.where(id: id).first_or_create(name: ind["name"]).update_attribute(:name, ind["name"])
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end

Extract all comanies with their symbols with industry ids:

    ids = Industry.all.map{|ind| "'#{ind.id.to_s}'" }.join(",")
    select = "select * from yahoo.finance.industry where id in"
    generate_query select, ids
    @data.each do |ts|
      unless ts.kind_of?(Array) || ts["company"].nil?
        if ts["company"].count == 2 && ts["company"].first[0] == "name"
          t = ts["company"]
          Ticket.find_or_create_by_symbol(symbol: t["symbol"], name: t["name"] ).update_attribute(:name, t["name"])
        else
          ts["company"].each do |t|
            Ticket.find_or_create_by_symbol(symbol: t["symbol"], name: t["name"] ).update_attribute(:name, t["name"])
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

nginx upload client_max_body_size issue

From the documentation:

It is necessary to keep in mind that the browsers do not know how to correctly show this error.

I suspect this is what's happening, if you inspect the HTTP to-and-fro using tools such as Firebug or Live HTTP Headers (both Firefox extensions) you'll be able to see what's really going on.

Use of "global" keyword in Python

Accessing a name and assigning a name are different. In your case, you are just accessing a name.

If you assign to a variable within a function, that variable is assumed to be local unless you declare it global. In the absence of that, it is assumed to be global.

>>> x = 1         # global 
>>> def foo():
        print x       # accessing it, it is global

>>> foo()
1
>>> def foo():   
        x = 2        # local x
        print x 

>>> x            # global x
1
>>> foo()        # prints local x

PowerShell on Windows 7: Set-ExecutionPolicy for regular users

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser

This will set the execution policy for the current user (stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER) rather than the local machine (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). This is useful if you don't have administrative control over the computer.

You can't specify target table for update in FROM clause

It's quite simple. For example, instead of writing:

INSERT INTO x (id, parent_id, code) VALUES (
    NULL,
    (SELECT id FROM x WHERE code='AAA'),
    'BBB'
);

you should write

INSERT INTO x (id, parent_id, code)
VALUES (
    NULL,
    (SELECT t.id FROM (SELECT id, code FROM x) t WHERE t.code='AAA'),
    'BBB'
);

or similar.

How to do sed like text replace with python?

Here's a one-module Python replacement for perl -p:

# Provide compatibility with `perl -p`

# Usage:
#
#     python -mloop_over_stdin_lines '<program>'

# In, `<program>`, use the variable `line` to read and change the current line.

# Example:
#
#         python -mloop_over_stdin_lines 'line = re.sub("pattern", "replacement", line)'

# From the perlrun documentation:
#
#        -p   causes Perl to assume the following loop around your
#             program, which makes it iterate over filename arguments
#             somewhat like sed:
# 
#               LINE:
#                 while (<>) {
#                     ...             # your program goes here
#                 } continue {
#                     print or die "-p destination: $!\n";
#                 }
# 
#             If a file named by an argument cannot be opened for some
#             reason, Perl warns you about it, and moves on to the next
#             file. Note that the lines are printed automatically. An
#             error occurring during printing is treated as fatal. To
#             suppress printing use the -n switch. A -p overrides a -n
#             switch.
# 
#             "BEGIN" and "END" blocks may be used to capture control
#             before or after the implicit loop, just as in awk.
#

Limit file format when using <input type="file">?

You can use the change event to monitor what the user selects and notify them at that point that the file is not acceptable. It does not limit the actual list of files displayed, but it is the closest you can do client-side, besides the poorly supported accept attribute.

How do I query between two dates using MySQL?

Your second date is before your first date (ie. you are querying between September 29 2010 and January 30 2010). Try reversing the order of the dates:

SELECT *
FROM `objects`
WHERE (date_field BETWEEN '2010-01-30 14:15:55' AND '2010-09-29 10:15:55')

Multiple try codes in one block

You'll have to make this separate try blocks:

try:
    code a
except ExplicitException:
    pass

try:
    code b
except ExplicitException:
    try:
        code c
    except ExplicitException:
        try:
            code d
        except ExplicitException:
            pass

This assumes you want to run code c only if code b failed.

If you need to run code c regardless, you need to put the try blocks one after the other:

try:
    code a
except ExplicitException:
    pass

try:
    code b
except ExplicitException:
    pass

try:
    code c
except ExplicitException:
    pass

try:
    code d
except ExplicitException:
    pass

I'm using except ExplicitException here because it is never a good practice to blindly ignore all exceptions. You'll be ignoring MemoryError, KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit as well otherwise, which you normally do not want to ignore or intercept without some kind of re-raise or conscious reason for handling those.

What is Java Servlet?

What is a Servlet?

  • A servlet is simply a class which responds to a particular type of network request - most commonly an HTTP request.
  • Basically servlets are usually used to implement web applications - but there are also various frameworks which operate on top of servlets (e.g. Struts) to give a higher-level abstraction than the "here's an HTTP request, write to this HTTP response" level which servlets provide.
  • Servlets run in a servlet container which handles the networking side (e.g. parsing an HTTP request, connection handling etc). One of the best-known open source servlet containers is Tomcat.

  • In a request/response paradigm, a web server can serve only static pages to the client

  • To serve dynamic pages, a we require Servlets.
  • Servlet is nothing but a Java program
  • This Java program doesn’t have a main method. It only has some callback methods.
  • How does the web server communicate to the servlet? Via container or Servlet engine.
  • Servlet lives and dies within a web container.
  • Web container is responsible for invoking methods in a servlets. It knows what callback methods the Servlet has.

Flow of Request

  • Client sends HTTP request to Web server
  • Web server forwards that HTTP request to web container.
  • Since Servlet can not understand HTTP, its a Java program, it only understands objects, so web container converts that request into valid request object
  • Web container spins a thread for each request
  • All the business logic goes inside doGet() or doPost() callback methods inside the servlets
  • Servlet builds a Java response object and sends it to the container. It converts that to HTTP response again to send it to the client

How does the Container know which Servlet client has requested for?

  • There’s a file called web.xml
  • This is the master file for a web container
  • You have information about servlet in this file-

    • servlets
      • Servlet-name
      • Servlet-class
    • servlet-mappings- the path like /Login or /Notifications is mapped here in
      • Servlet-name
      • url-pattern
    • and so on
  • Every servlet in the web app should have an entry into this file

  • So this lookup happens like- url-pattern -> servlet-name -> servlet-class

How to "install" Servlets? * Well, the servlet objects are inherited from the library- javax.servlet.* . Tomcat and Spring can be used to utilize these objects to fit the use case.

hide/show a image in jquery

What image do you want to hide? Assuming all images, the following should work:

$("img").hide();

Otherwise, using selectors, you could find all images that are child elements of the containing div, and hide those.

However, i strongly recommend you read the Jquery docs, you could have figured it out yourself: http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page

Removing items from a ListBox in VB.net

There is a simple method for deleting selected items, and all these people are going for a hard method:

Git submodule head 'reference is not a tree' error

To sync the git repo with the submodule's head, in case that is really what you want, I found that removing the submodule and then readding it avoids the tinkering with the history. Unfortunately removing a submodule requires hacking rather than being a single git command, but doable.

Steps I followed to remove the submodule, inspired by https://gist.github.com/kyleturner/1563153:

  1. Run git rm --cached
  2. Delete the relevant lines from the .gitmodules file.
  3. Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
  4. Delete the now untracked submodule files.
  5. Remove directory .git/modules/

Again, this can be useful if all you want is to point at the submodule's head again, and you haven't complicated things by needing to keep the local copy of the submodule intact. It assumes you have the submodule "right" as its own repo, wherever the origin of it is, and you just want to get back to properly including it as a submodule.

Note: always make a full copy of your project before engaging in these kinds of manipulation or any git command beyond simple commit or push. I'd advise that with all other answers as well, and as a general git guideline.

Java Error opening registry key

I would have tagged this as a comment but cant (dont have the rep) just wanted to thank Tilman. I was trying to get PDFsam (PDF Split and Merge) to work to no avail.

At launch it would produce an error stating that it could not find JRE 1.6.0. I Have both 32 and 64 bit versions and they check out fine at the java website in their respective browsers.

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and rebooting repeatedly as well as using JavaRa. No such luck, still no go.

I looked in the registry after reading this post and there was no ...\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\ key so I added each with their respective string values pointing to my x86 version (PDFsam is a 32bit program). This got past the first problem but an error popped up about amd64 libraries suggesting the machine wanted to run the 64bit version. So I changed the paths to the 64bit JRE and PDFsam now works.

FYI - I got here by searching for Java registry keys after I was unable to launch javaw.exe from command prompt (even after adding the requisite paths to system path), making the aforementioned changes solved this as well.

Add data to JSONObject

In order to have this result:

{"aoColumnDefs":[{"aTargets":[0],"aDataSort":[0,1]},{"aTargets":[1],"aDataSort":[1,0]},{"aTargets":[2],"aDataSort":[2,3,4]}]}

that holds the same data as:

  {
    "aoColumnDefs": [
     { "aDataSort": [ 0, 1 ], "aTargets": [ 0 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 1, 0 ], "aTargets": [ 1 ] },
     { "aDataSort": [ 2, 3, 4 ], "aTargets": [ 2 ] }
   ]
  }

you could use this code:

    JSONObject jo = new JSONObject();
    Collection<JSONObject> items = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();

    JSONObject item1 = new JSONObject();
    item1.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(0, 1));
    item1.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(0));
    items.add(item1);
    JSONObject item2 = new JSONObject();
    item2.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(1, 0));
    item2.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(1));
    items.add(item2);
    JSONObject item3 = new JSONObject();
    item3.put("aDataSort", new JSONArray(2, 3, 4));
    item3.put("aTargets", new JSONArray(2));
    items.add(item3);

    jo.put("aoColumnDefs", new JSONArray(items));

    System.out.println(jo.toString());

JPA eager fetch does not join

Two things occur to me.

First, are you sure you mean ManyToOne for address? That means multiple people will have the same address. If it's edited for one of them, it'll be edited for all of them. Is that your intent? 99% of the time addresses are "private" (in the sense that they belong to only one person).

Secondly, do you have any other eager relationships on the Person entity? If I recall correctly, Hibernate can only handle one eager relationship on an entity but that is possibly outdated information.

I say that because your understanding of how this should work is essentially correct from where I'm sitting.

RabbitMQ / AMQP: single queue, multiple consumers for same message?

As I assess your case is:

  • I have a queue of messages (your source for receiving messages, lets name it q111)

  • I have multiple consumers, which I would like to do different things with the same message.

Your problem here is while 3 messages are received by this queue, message 1 is consumed by a consumer A, other consumers B and C consumes message 2 and 3. Where as you are in need of a setup where rabbitmq passes on the same copies of all these three messages(1,2,3) to all three connected consumers (A,B,C) simultaneously.

While many configurations can be made to achieve this, a simple way is to use the following two step concept:

  • Use a dynamic rabbitmq-shovel to pickup messages from the desired queue(q111) and publish to a fanout exchange (exchange exclusively created and dedicated for this purpose).
  • Now re-configure your consumers A,B & C (who were listening to queue(q111)) to listen from this Fanout exchange directly using a exclusive & anonymous queue for each consumer.

Note: While using this concept don't consume directly from the source queue(q111), as messages already consumed wont be shovelled to your Fanout exchange.

If you think this does not satisfies your exact requirement... feel free to post your suggestions :-)

Increase bootstrap dropdown menu width

Update 2018

You should be able to just set it using CSS like this..

.dropdown-menu {
  min-width:???px;
}

This works in both Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4.0.0 (demo).


A no extra CSS option in Bootstrap 4 is using the sizing utils to change the width. For example, here the w-100 (width:100%) class is used for the dropdown menu to fill the width of it's parent....

 <ul class="dropdown-menu w-100">
      <li><a class="nav-link" href="#">Choice1</a></li>
      <li><a class="nav-link" href="#">Choice2</a></li>
      <li><a class="nav-link" href="#">Choice3</a></li>
 </ul>

Can I obtain method parameter name using Java reflection?

The Paranamer library was created to solve this same problem.

It tries to determine method names in a few different ways. If the class was compiled with debugging it can extract the information by reading the bytecode of the class.

Another way is for it to inject a private static member into the bytecode of the class after it is compiled, but before it is placed in a jar. It then uses reflection to extract this information from the class at runtime.

https://github.com/paul-hammant/paranamer

I had problems using this library, but I did get it working in the end. I'm hoping to report the problems to the maintainer.

How do I convert a Swift Array to a String?

use this when you want to convert list of struct type into string

struct MyStruct {
  var name : String
  var content : String
}

let myStructList = [MyStruct(name: "name1" , content: "content1") , MyStruct(name: "name2" , content: "content2")]

and covert your array like this way

let myString = myStructList.map({$0.name}).joined(separator: ",")

will produce ===> "name1,name2"

Understanding events and event handlers in C#

That is actually the declaration for an event handler - a method that will get called when an event is fired. To create an event, you'd write something like this:

public class Foo
{
    public event EventHandler MyEvent;
}

And then you can subscribe to the event like this:

Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.MyEvent += new EventHandler(this.OnMyEvent);

With OnMyEvent() defined like this:

private void OnMyEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("MyEvent fired!");
}

Whenever Foo fires off MyEvent, then your OnMyEvent handler will be called.

You don't always have to use an instance of EventArgs as the second parameter. If you want to include additional information, you can use a class derived from EventArgs (EventArgs is the base by convention). For example, if you look at some of the events defined on Control in WinForms, or FrameworkElement in WPF, you can see examples of events that pass additional information to the event handlers.

How to HTML encode/escape a string? Is there a built-in?

   console.profile(f.constructor);    
}

#1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

If anyone is having issues with INNODB / Utf-8 trying to put an UNIQUE index on a VARCHAR(256) field, switch it to VARCHAR(255). It seems 255 is the limitation.

Extracting double-digit months and days from a Python date

you can use a string formatter to pad any integer with zeros. It acts just like C's printf.

>>> d = datetime.date.today()
>>> '%02d' % d.month
'03'

Updated for py36: Use f-strings! For general ints you can use the d formatter and explicitly tell it to pad with zeros:

 >>> d = datetime.date.today()
 >>> f"{d.month:02d}"
 '07'

But datetimes are special and come with special formatters that are already zero padded:

 >>> f"{d:%d}"  # the day
 '01'
 >>> f"{d:%m}"  # the month
 '07'

Elasticsearch query to return all records

None except @Akira Sendoh has answered how to actually get ALL docs. But even that solution crashes my ES 6.3 service without logs. The only thing that worked for me using the low-level elasticsearch-py library was through scan helper that uses scroll() api:

from elasticsearch.helpers import scan

doc_generator = scan(
    es_obj,
    query={"query": {"match_all": {}}},
    index="my-index",
)

# use the generator to iterate, dont try to make a list or you will get out of RAM
for doc in doc_generator:
    # use it somehow

However, the cleaner way nowadays seems to be through elasticsearch-dsl library, that offers more abstract, cleaner calls, e.g: http://elasticsearch-dsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search_dsl.html#hits

Running multiple commands in one line in shell

Another option is typing Ctrl+V Ctrl+J at the end of each command.

Example (replace # with Ctrl+V Ctrl+J):

$ echo 1#
echo 2#
echo 3

Output:

1
2
3

This will execute the commands regardless if previous ones failed.

Same as: echo 1; echo 2; echo 3

If you want to stop execution on failed commands, add && at the end of each line except the last one.

Example (replace # with Ctrl+V Ctrl+J):

$ echo 1 &&#
failed-command &&#
echo 2

Output:

1
failed-command: command not found

In zsh you can also use Alt+Enter or Esc+Enter instead of Ctrl+V Ctrl+J

Java SSLHandshakeException "no cipher suites in common"

I got this error with this ... unfortunate... package I have to use and I don't have source for. After much digging (thank you, Stack Overflow) and trying endless combinations, I finally got things running by:

  1. Creating the JKS with the entire certificate chain.

  2. Making sure the key in the JKS had the alias of the FQDN of the machine.

  3. Renaming the alias of the certificate for my machine ${FQDN}.cert

This took endless experimentation with the java command line options:

-Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake:verbose:keymanager:trustmanager 
-Djava.security.debug=access:stack

My key and CSR were produced in OpenSSL so I had to import the key with:

openssl pkcs12 -export -in  cert.pem -inkey  cert.key -CAfile fullChain.pem -name ${FQDN} -out cert.p12
keytool -importkeystore -destkeystore cert.jks -srckeystore cert.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12

keytool complains about the format so I converted the format followed by adding my cert chain:

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore cert.jks -destkeystore cert_p12.jks -deststoretype pkcs12
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias 'DigiCert Global Root G2 IntermediateCA' -keystore cert_p12.jks -file cert2.pem -storepass "$STOREPASS" -keypass "$KEYPASS" 
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias 'DigiCert Global Root G2'                -keystore cert_p12.jks -file cert3.pem -storepass "$STOREPASS" -keypass "$KEYPASS"

(where cert2.pem and cert3.pem were downloaded from the DigiCert web site and converted to PEM format.) When I restarted the application with the resulting jks file, things started to work.

Something else I figured out as part of this. You can check the certificate chain by using:

openssl x509 -in cert2.pem -noout -text

for all your certificates and studying the output, paying attention to the X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: and X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: lines. The X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: of one level matches the X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: of the next higher level. You found the top of chain when the Issuer: string matches the Subject: string.

I hope this can save somebody some of the time it took me.

Why does writeObject throw java.io.NotSerializableException and how do I fix it?

The fields of your object have in turn their fields, some of which do not implement Serializable. In your case the offending class is TransformGroup. How to solve it?

  • if the class is yours, make it Serializable
  • if the class is 3rd party, but you don't need it in the serialized form, mark the field as transient
  • if you need its data and it's third party, consider other means of serialization, like JSON, XML, BSON, MessagePack, etc. where you can get 3rd party objects serialized without modifying their definitions.

When do Java generics require <? extends T> instead of <T> and is there any downside of switching?

One way for me to understand wildcards is to think that the wildcard isn't specifying the type of the possible objects that given generic reference can "have", but the type of other generic references that it is is compatible with (this may sound confusing...) As such, the first answer is very misleading in it's wording.

In other words, List<? extends Serializable> means you can assign that reference to other Lists where the type is some unknown type which is or a subclass of Serializable. DO NOT think of it in terms of A SINGLE LIST being able to hold subclasses of Serializable (because that is incorrect semantics and leads to a misunderstanding of Generics).

C# - using List<T>.Find() with custom objects

You can use find with a Predicate as follows:

list.Find(x => x.Id == IdToFind);

This will return the first object in the list which meets the conditions defined by the predicate (ie in my example I am looking for an object with an ID).

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

You can use the placeholder trick as written above w/o required field.

The problem with required is that when you wrote something, then deleted it - the input will now always be red as part of the HTML5 spec - then you'll need a CSS as written above to fix/override it.

You can simple do thing w/o required

<input type="text" placeholder="filter here" id="mytest" />

CSS

#mytest:placeholder-shown {
/* if placeholder is shown - meaning - no value in input */
  border: black 1px solid;
  color: black;
}
#mytest {
  /* placeholder isn't shown - we have a value in input */
  border: red 1px solid;
  color: red;
}

Parsing JSON in Java without knowing JSON format

If a different library is fine for you, you could try org.json:

JSONObject object = new JSONObject(myJSONString);
String[] keys = JSONObject.getNames(object);

for (String key : keys)
{
    Object value = object.get(key);
    // Determine type of value and do something with it...
}

How do I enable EF migrations for multiple contexts to separate databases?

In case you already have a "Configuration" with many migrations and want to keep this as is, you can always create a new "Configuration" class, give it another name, like

class MyNewContextConfiguration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<MyNewDbContext>
{
   ...
}

then just issue the command

Add-Migration -ConfigurationTypeName MyNewContextConfiguration InitialMigrationName

and EF will scaffold the migration without problems. Finally update your database, from now on, EF will complain if you don't tell him which configuration you want to update:

Update-Database -ConfigurationTypeName MyNewContextConfiguration 

Done.

You don't need to deal with Enable-Migrations as it will complain "Configuration" already exists, and renaming your existing Configuration class will bring issues to the migration history.

You can target different databases, or the same one, all configurations will share the __MigrationHistory table nicely.

            Document doc = builder.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader( xmlStr )) ); 

        } catch (Exception e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } 
  }

Pandas DataFrame column to list

The above solution is good if all the data is of same dtype. Numpy arrays are homogeneous containers. When you do df.values the output is an numpy array. So if the data has int and float in it then output will either have int or float and the columns will loose their original dtype. Consider df

a  b 
0  1  4
1  2  5 
2  3  6 

a    float64
b    int64 

So if you want to keep original dtype, you can do something like

row_list = df.to_csv(None, header=False, index=False).split('\n')

this will return each row as a string.

['1.0,4', '2.0,5', '3.0,6', '']

Then split each row to get list of list. Each element after splitting is a unicode. We need to convert it required datatype.

def f(row_str): 
  row_list = row_str.split(',')
  return [float(row_list[0]), int(row_list[1])]

df_list_of_list = map(f, row_list[:-1])

[[1.0, 4], [2.0, 5], [3.0, 6]]

What is the purpose and use of **kwargs?

Keyword Arguments are often shortened to kwargs in Python. In computer programming,

keyword arguments refer to a computer language's support for function calls that clearly state the name of each parameter within the function call.

The usage of the two asterisk before the parameter name, **kwargs, is when one doesn't know how many keyword arguments will be passed into the function. When that's the case, it's called Arbitrary / Wildcard Keyword Arguments.

One example of this is Django's receiver functions.

def my_callback(sender, **kwargs):
    print("Request finished!")

Notice that the function takes a sender argument, along with wildcard keyword arguments (**kwargs); all signal handlers must take these arguments. All signals send keyword arguments, and may change those keyword arguments at any time. In the case of request_finished, it’s documented as sending no arguments, which means we might be tempted to write our signal handling as my_callback(sender).

This would be wrong – in fact, Django will throw an error if you do so. That’s because at any point arguments could get added to the signal and your receiver must be able to handle those new arguments.

Note that it doesn't have to be called kwargs, but it needs to have ** (the name kwargs is a convention).

How to replace deprecated android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle

you must use import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;

and use the constructor

public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity mActivity,DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout)
{
    super(mActivity, mDrawerLayout, R.string.ns_menu_open, R.string.ns_menu_close);
}

and if the drawer toggle button becomes dark then you must use the supportActionBar provided in the support library.

You can implement supportActionbar from this link: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/setting-up.html

  text-indent: -1.5em;
  padding-left: 1.5em;    
}

Most efficient way to see if an ArrayList contains an object in Java

You could use a Comparator with Java's built-in methods for sorting and binary search. Suppose you have a class like this, where a and b are the fields you want to use for sorting:

class Thing { String a, b, c, d; }

You would define your Comparator:

Comparator<Thing> comparator = new Comparator<Thing>() {
  public int compare(Thing o1, Thing o2) {
    if (o1.a.equals(o2.a)) {
      return o1.b.compareTo(o2.b);
    }
    return o1.a.compareTo(o2.a);
  }
};

Then sort your list:

Collections.sort(list, comparator);

And finally do the binary search:

int i = Collections.binarySearch(list, thingToFind, comparator);

Getting the current date in SQL Server?

SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)

Returns the current date with the time part removed.

DATETIMEs are not "stored in the following format". They are stored in a binary format.

The display format in the question is independent of storage.

Formatting into a particular display format should be done by your application.

Use string contains function in oracle SQL query

By lines I assume you mean rows in the table person. What you're looking for is:

select p.name
from   person p
where  p.name LIKE '%A%'; --contains the character 'A'

The above is case sensitive. For a case insensitive search, you can do:

select p.name
from   person p
where  UPPER(p.name) LIKE '%A%'; --contains the character 'A' or 'a'

For the special character, you can do:

select p.name
from   person p
where  p.name LIKE '%'||chr(8211)||'%'; --contains the character chr(8211)

The LIKE operator matches a pattern. The syntax of this command is described in detail in the Oracle documentation. You will mostly use the % sign as it means match zero or more characters.

python: unhashable type error

As Jim Garrison said in the comment, no obvious reason why you'd make a one-element list out of drug.upper() (which implies drug is a string).

But that's not your error, as your function medications_minimum3() doesn't even use the second argument (something you should fix).

TypeError: unhashable type: 'list' usually means that you are trying to use a list as a hash argument (like for accessing a dictionary). I'd look for the error in counter[row[11]]+=1 -- are you sure that row[11] is of the right type? Sounds to me it might be a list.

How can I show a hidden div when a select option is selected?

Remove duplicates from a List<T> in C#

There are many ways to solve - the duplicates issue in the List, below is one of them:

List<Container> containerList = LoadContainer();//Assume it has duplicates
List<Container> filteredList = new  List<Container>();
foreach (var container in containerList)
{ 
  Container duplicateContainer = containerList.Find(delegate(Container checkContainer)
  { return (checkContainer.UniqueId == container.UniqueId); });
   //Assume 'UniqueId' is the property of the Container class on which u r making a search

    if(!containerList.Contains(duplicateContainer) //Add object when not found in the new class object
      {
        filteredList.Add(container);
       }
  }

How to add a Java Properties file to my Java Project in Eclipse

It should work ok as it is in Unix, if you have properties file in current working directory. Another option would be adding your properties file to the classpath and getting the inputstream using this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("xxxxx.properties"); More here

Create boolean column in MySQL with false as default value?

You can set a default value at creation time like:

FirstName varchar(255),
Age int,
Married boolean DEFAULT false);

Good Patterns For VBA Error Handling

Professional Excel Development has a pretty good error handling scheme. If you're going to spend any time in VBA, it's probably worth getting the book. There are a number of areas where VBA is lacking and this book has good suggestions for managing those areas.

PED describes two error handling methods. The main one is a system where all entry point procedures are subprocedures and all other procedures are functions that return Booleans.

The entry point procedure use On Error statements to capture errors pretty much as designed. The non-entry point procedures return True if there were no errors and False if there were errors. Non-entry point procedures also use On Error.

Both types of procedures use a central error handling procedure to keep the error in state and to log the error.

Go to beginning of line without opening new line in VI

There is another way:

|

That is the "pipe" - the symbol found under the backspace in ANSI layout.

Vim quickref (:help quickref) describes it as:

N      |      to column N (default: 1)

What about wrapped lines?

If you have wrap lines enabled, 0 and | will no longer take you to the beginning of the screen line. In that case use:

g0

Again, vim quickref doc:

 g0   to first character in screen line (differs from "0"
      when lines wrap)

lexical or preprocessor issue file not found occurs while archiving?

In my case I was developing a framework and had a test application inside it, what was missing is inside the test application target -> build settings -> Framework Search Paths:

  • The value needed to be the framework path (the build output - .framework) which is in my case: "../FrameworkNameFolder/" - the 2 points indicates to go one folder up.

Also, inside the test application target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries:

  • I had to remove the framework file, clean the project, add the framework file again, compile and this also solved the issue.

Callback functions in Java

A method is not (yet) a first-class object in Java; you can't pass a function pointer as a callback. Instead, create an object (which usually implements an interface) that contains the method you need and pass that.

Proposals for closures in Java—which would provide the behavior you are looking for—have been made, but none will be included in the upcoming Java 7 release.

Casting interfaces for deserialization in JSON.NET

Suppose an autofac setting like the following:

public class AutofacContractResolver : DefaultContractResolver
{
    private readonly IContainer _container;

    public AutofacContractResolver(IContainer container)
    {
        _container = container;
    }

    protected override JsonObjectContract CreateObjectContract(Type objectType)
    {
        JsonObjectContract contract = base.CreateObjectContract(objectType);

        // use Autofac to create types that have been registered with it
        if (_container.IsRegistered(objectType))
        {
           contract.DefaultCreator = () => _container.Resolve(objectType);
        }  

        return contract;
    }
}

Then, suppose your class is like this:

public class TaskController
{
    private readonly ITaskRepository _repository;
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public TaskController(ITaskRepository repository, ILogger logger)
    {
        _repository = repository;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public ITaskRepository Repository
    {
        get { return _repository; }
    }

    public ILogger Logger
    {
        get { return _logger; }
    }
}

Therefore, the usage of the resolver in deserialization could be like:

ContainerBuilder builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterType<TaskRepository>().As<ITaskRepository>();
builder.RegisterType<TaskController>();
builder.Register(c => new LogService(new DateTime(2000, 12, 12))).As<ILogger>();

IContainer container = builder.Build();

AutofacContractResolver contractResolver = new AutofacContractResolver(container);

string json = @"{
      'Logger': {
        'Level':'Debug'
      }
}";

// ITaskRespository and ILogger constructor parameters are injected by Autofac 
TaskController controller = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaskController>(json, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
    ContractResolver = contractResolver
});

Console.WriteLine(controller.Repository.GetType().Name);

You can see more details in http://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/DeserializeWithDependencyInjection.htm

Python wildcard search in string

Do you mean any specific syntax for wildcards? Usually * stands for "one or many" characters and ? stands for one.

The simplest way probably is to translate a wildcard expression into a regular expression, then use that for filtering the results.

How to make rounded percentages add up to 100%

Here's a simpler Python implementation of @varun-vohra answer:

def apportion_pcts(pcts, total):
    proportions = [total * (pct / 100) for pct in pcts]
    apportions = [math.floor(p) for p in proportions]
    remainder = total - sum(apportions)
    remainders = [(i, p - math.floor(p)) for (i, p) in enumerate(proportions)]
    remainders.sort(key=operator.itemgetter(1), reverse=True)
    for (i, _) in itertools.cycle(remainders):
        if remainder == 0:
            break
        else:
            apportions[i] += 1
            remainder -= 1
    return apportions

You need math, itertools, operator.

How to create a .NET DateTime from ISO 8601 format

How to kill/stop a long SQL query immediately?

If you cancel and see that run

 sp_who2 'active'

(Activity Monitor won't be available on old sql server 2000 FYI )

Spot the SPID you wish to kill e.g. 81

Kill 81

Run the sp_who2 'active' again and you will probably notice it is sleeping ... rolling back

To get the STATUS run again the KILL

Kill 81 

Then you will get a message like this

 SPID 81: transaction rollback in progress. Estimated rollback completion: 63%. Estimated time remaining: 992 seconds.

Create two blank lines in Markdown

In GitHub Wiki markdown I used hash marks (#) followed by two spaces to make the line break larger. It doesn't actually give you multiple line breaks but it made one large line break and served me well for my needs.

Instead of:

text
(space)(space)
more text

I did:

text
(hash mark)(space)(space)
more text

Angular CLI Error: The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found

It was silly me but need to leave comment maybe I save someone else some hassle. Same message happens if you multitask and have multiple projects so some of project is nested inside project folder like projectFolder/subProject/projectOne so I was in projectFolder/subProject trying to run command ng serve.

Make sure you are in correct folder because same error will occur if you are in wrong folder and conf and build is missing!

Creating an IFRAME using JavaScript

You can use:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function prepareFrame() {
        var ifrm = document.createElement("iframe");
        ifrm.setAttribute("src", "http://google.com/");
        ifrm.style.width = "640px";
        ifrm.style.height = "480px";
        document.body.appendChild(ifrm);
    }
</script> 

also check basics of the iFrame element

angularjs ng-style: background-image isn't working

It is possible to parse dynamic values in a couple of way.

Interpolation with double-curly braces:

String concatenation:

ng-style="{'background-image': 'url(' + myBackgroundUrl + ')'}"

ES6 template literals:

ng-style="{'background-image': `url(${myBackgroundUrl})`}"

Excel VBA App stops spontaneously with message "Code execution has been halted"

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (38)

CentOS 7, 64 bit. Fresh installation.
In my case, the error was because I didn't have the right MySQL server and MySQL client installed.
Using yum, I removed mariadb and mysql-community edition. I downloaded the rpm's for the client and server from the official MySQL website and installed the server and client.

On installing the server, I was shown a message that the password to the root account for MySQL was stored in a file which I could view with sudo cat /root/.mysql_secret.

So after installing the client and server, I checked if MySQL was working (I think I rebooted before doing so) with the command sudo service mysql status and I got the result.

MySQL running (2601) [ OK ]

I logged into MySQL using the password from the .mysql_secret file:
mysql -uroot -pdxM01Xfg3DXEPabpf. Note that dxM01Xfg3DXEPabpf is the password mentioned in the .mysql_secret file.

and then typed entered the following command at the mysql prompt to change the password of root:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('somePassword');

Everything worked fine from then on.

pdftk compression option

After trying gpdf as nullglob suggested, I found that I got the same compression results (a ~900mb file down to ~30mb) by just using the cups-pdf printer. This might be easier/preferred if you are already viewing a document and only need to compress one or two documents.

In Ubuntu 12.04, you can install this by

sudo apt-get install cups-pdf

After installation, be sure to check in System Tools > Administration > Printing > right-click 'PDF' and set it to 'enable'

By default, the output is saved into a folder named PDF in your home directory.

Stop UIWebView from "bouncing" vertically?

Look into the bounces property of UIScrollView. Quoth the Apple docs:

If the value of the property is YES (the default), the scroll view bounces when it encounters a boundary of the content. Bouncing visually indicates that scrolling has reached an edge of the content. If the value is NO, scrolling stops immediately at the content boundary without bouncing.

Make sure you're using the right UIScrollView. I'm not sure what the hierarchy looks like for a UIWebView, but the scroll view could be a parent, not a child, of the UIWebView.

Why do table names in SQL Server start with "dbo"?

dbo is the default schema in SQL Server. You can create your own schemas to allow you to better manage your object namespace.

C# Version Of SQL LIKE

public static class StringsEx
{
    public static IEnumerable<String> Like(this IEnumerable<String> input, String pattern)
    {
        var dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Search");
        foreach (String str in input)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add(str);
        }
        dt.DefaultView.RowFilter = String.Format("Search LIKE '{0}'", pattern);
        return dt.DefaultView.ToTable()
            .AsEnumerable()
            .Select(r => r.Field<String>("Search"));
    }
}

The only disadvantage is following: "Wildcard characters are not allowed in the middle of a string. For example, 'te*xt' is not allowed."©

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

First you should learn about loops, in this case most suitable is for loop. For instance let's initialize whole table with increasing values starting with 0:

final int SIZE = 10;
int[] array = new int[SIZE];
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
    array[i] = i;
}

Now you can modify it to initialize your table with values as per your assignment. But what happen if you replace condition i < SIZE with i < 11? Well, you will get IndexOutOfBoundException, as you try to access (at some point) an object under index 10, but the highest index in 10-element array is 9. So you are trying, in other words, to find friend's home with number 11, but there are only 10 houses in the street.

In case of the code you presented, well, there must be more of it, as you can not get this error (exception) from that code.

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

No, you shouldn't call those methods manually. At the end of the using block the Dispose() method is automatically called which will take care to free unmanaged resources (at least for standard .NET BCL classes such as streams, readers/writers, ...). So you could also write your code like this:

using (Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream))
        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename))
        {
            int chunkSize = 1024;
            while (!reader.EndOfStream)
            {
                 char[] buffer = new char[chunkSize];
                 int count = reader.Read(buffer, 0, chunkSize);
                 if (count != 0)
                 {
                     writer.Write(buffer, 0, count);
                 }
            }
         }

The Close() method calls Dispose().

How to get URL parameters with Javascript?

function getURLParameter(name) {
  return decodeURIComponent((new RegExp('[?|&]' + name + '=' + '([^&;]+?)(&|#|;|$)').exec(location.search) || [null, ''])[1].replace(/\+/g, '%20')) || null;
}

So you can use:

myvar = getURLParameter('myvar');

How to access PHP session variables from jQuery function in a .js file?

Strangely importing directly from $_SESSION not working but have to do this to make it work :

<?php
$phpVar = $_SESSION['var'];
?>

<script>
    var variableValue= '<?php echo $phpVar; ?>';
    var imported = document.createElement('script');
    imported.src = './your/path/to.js';
    document.head.appendChild(imported);
</script>

and in to.js

$(document).ready(function(){
alert(variableValue);
// rest of js file

BATCH file asks for file or folder

Referencing XCopy Force File

For forcing files, we could use pipeline "echo F |":

C:\Trash>xcopy 23.txt 24.txt
Does 24.txt specify a file name
or directory name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)?

C:\Trash>echo F | xcopy 23.txt 24.txt
Does 24.txt specify a file name
or directory name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)? F
C:23.txt
1 File(s) copied

For forcing a folder, we could use /i parameter for xcopy or using a backslash() at the end of the destination folder.

React: trigger onChange if input value is changing by state?

Approach with React Native and Hooks:

You can wrap the TextInput into a new one that watches if the value changed and trigger the onChange function if it does.

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput as RNTextInput, Button } from 'react-native';

// New TextInput that triggers onChange when value changes.
// You can add more TextInput methods as props to it.
const TextInput = ({ onChange, value, placeholder }) => {

  // When value changes, you can do whatever you want or just to trigger the onChange function
  useEffect(() => {
    onChange(value);
  }, [value]);

  return (
    <RNTextInput
      onChange={onChange}
      value={value}
      placeholder={placeholder}
    />
  );
};

const Main = () => {

  const [myValue, setMyValue] = useState('');

  const handleChange = (value) => {
    setMyValue(value);
    console.log("Handling value");
  };

  const randomLetters = [...Array(15)].map(() => Math.random().toString(36)[2]).join('');

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput
        placeholder="Write something here"
        onChange={handleChange}
        value={myValue}
      />
      <Button
        title='Change value with state'
        onPress={() => setMyValue(randomLetters)}
      />
    </View>
  );
};

export default Main;

How to check db2 version

What is the GAC in .NET?

It's like the COM registry done right, with respect to the physical files as well as their interface and location information. In COM, files were everywhere, with centralised metadata. The GAC centralises the bang shoot.

What can I use for good quality code coverage for C#/.NET?

An alternative to NCover can be PartCover, is an open source code coverage tool for .NET very similar to NCover, it includes a console application, a GUI coverage browser, and XSL transforms for use in CruiseControl.NET.

It is a very interesting product.

OpenCover has replaced PartCover.

Get the value of a dropdown in jQuery

As has been pointed out ... in a select box, the .val() attribute will give you the value of the selected option. If the selected option does not have a value attribute it will default to the display value of the option (which is what the examples on the jQuery documentation of .val show.

you want to use .text() of the selected option:

$('#Crd option:selected').text()

How to create a stacked bar chart for my DataFrame using seaborn?

You could use pandas plot as @Bharath suggest:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set()
df.set_index('App').T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True)

Output:

enter image description here

Updated:

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap df.set_index('App')\ .reindex_axis(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\ .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), figsize=(12,6))

Updated Pandas 0.21.0+ reindex_axis is deprecated, use reindex

from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap

df.set_index('App')\
  .reindex(df.set_index('App').sum().sort_values().index, axis=1)\
  .T.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True,
          colormap=ListedColormap(sns.color_palette("GnBu", 10)), 
          figsize=(12,6))

Output:

How to copy and edit files in Android shell?

Also if the goal is only to access the files on the phone. There is a File Explorer that is accessible from the Eclipse DDMS perspective. It lets you copy file from and to the device. So you can always get the file, modify it and put it back on the device. Of course it enables to access only the files that are not read protected.

If you don't see the File Explorer, from the DDMS perspective, go in "Window" -> "Show View" -> "File Explorer".

Get a list of all git commits, including the 'lost' ones

@bsimmons

git fsck --lost-found | grep commit

Then create a branch for each one:

$ git fsck --lost-found | grep commit
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
dangling commit 2806a32af04d1bbd7803fb899071fcf247a2b9b0
dangling commit 6d0e49efd0c1a4b5bea1235c6286f0b64c4c8de1
dangling commit 91ca9b2482a96b20dc31d2af4818d69606a229d4

$ git branch  branch_2806a3 2806a3
$ git branch  branch_6d0e49 6d0e49
$ git branch  branch_91ca9b 91ca9b

Now many tools will show you a graphical visualization of those lost commits.

R apply function with multiple parameters

Just pass var2 as an extra argument to one of the apply functions.

mylist <- list(a=1,b=2,c=3)
myfxn <- function(var1,var2){
  var1*var2
}
var2 <- 2

sapply(mylist,myfxn,var2=var2)

This passes the same var2 to every call of myfxn. If instead you want each call of myfxn to get the 1st/2nd/3rd/etc. element of both mylist and var2, then you're in mapply's domain.

Changing an AIX password via script?

You need echo -e for the newline characters to take affect

you wrote

echo "oldpassword\nnewpasswd123\nnewpasswd123" | passwd user

you should try

echo -e "oldpassword\nnewpasswd123\nnewpasswd123" | passwd user

more than likely, you will not need the oldpassword\n portion of that command, you should just need the two new passwords. Don't forget to use single quotes around exclamation points!

echo -e "new"'!'"passwd123\nnew"'!'"passwd123" | passwd user

How do I get my Maven Integration tests to run

The Maven build lifecycle now includes the "integration-test" phase for running integration tests, which are run separately from the unit tests run during the "test" phase. It runs after "package", so if you run "mvn verify", "mvn install", or "mvn deploy", integration tests will be run along the way.

By default, integration-test runs test classes named **/IT*.java, **/*IT.java, and **/*ITCase.java, but this can be configured.

For details on how to wire this all up, see the Failsafe plugin, the Failsafe usage page (not correctly linked from the previous page as I write this), and also check out this Sonatype blog post.

Passing arguments to C# generic new() of templated type

in .Net 3.5 and after you could use the activator class:

(T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), args)

It says that TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null

All these results in null:

document.getElementById('volume');
document.getElementById('bytesLoaded');
document.getElementById('startBytes');
document.getElementById('bytesTotal');

You need to do a null check in updateHTML like this:

function updateHTML(elmId, value) {
  var elem = document.getElementById(elmId);
  if(typeof elem !== 'undefined' && elem !== null) {
    elem.innerHTML = value;
  }
}

Recommended date format for REST GET API

Every datetime field in input/output needs to be in UNIX/epoch format. This avoids the confusion between developers across different sides of the API.

Pros:

  • Epoch format does not have a timezone.
  • Epoch has a single format (Unix time is a single signed number).
  • Epoch time is not effected by daylight saving.
  • Most of the Backend frameworks and all native ios/android APIs support epoch conversion.
  • Local time conversion part can be done entirely in application side depends on the timezone setting of user's device/browser.

Cons:

  • Extra processing for converting to UTC for storing in UTC format in the database.
  • Readability of input/output.
  • Readability of GET URLs.

Notes:

  • Timezones are a presentation-layer problem! Most of your code shouldn't be dealing with timezones or local time, it should be passing Unix time around.
  • If you want to store a humanly-readable time (e.g. logs), consider storing it along with Unix time, not instead of Unix time.

Android - Set text to TextView

err.setText("Escriba su mensaje y luego seleccione el canal.");

It will not change , it will remain same.

Example for Dynamic Text for textview is :

MainActivity.java
package com.example.dynamictextview;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    int count = 0;
    Button clickMeBtn;
    TextView dynamicText;

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

        clickMeBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_click);
        dynamicText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);

        clickMeBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                count++;
                dynamicText.setText("dynamic text example : " + count);

            }
        });

    }

}

For activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.dynamictextview.MainActivity" >

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/button_click"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="click me"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" 
        android:layout_below="@id/button_click"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:textSize="25sp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

What is the use of hashCode in Java?

From the Javadoc:

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.

  • If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.

  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java programming language.)

SVG drop shadow using css3

Here's an example of applying dropshadow to some svg using the 'filter' property. If you want to control the opacity of the dropshadow have a look at this example. The slope attribute controls how much opacity to give to the dropshadow.

Relevant bits from the example:

<filter id="dropshadow" height="130%">
  <feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="3"/> <!-- stdDeviation is how much to blur -->
  <feOffset dx="2" dy="2" result="offsetblur"/> <!-- how much to offset -->
  <feComponentTransfer>
    <feFuncA type="linear" slope="0.5"/> <!-- slope is the opacity of the shadow -->
  </feComponentTransfer>
  <feMerge> 
    <feMergeNode/> <!-- this contains the offset blurred image -->
    <feMergeNode in="SourceGraphic"/> <!-- this contains the element that the filter is applied to -->
  </feMerge>
</filter>
<circle r="10" style="filter:url(#dropshadow)"/>

Box-shadow is defined to work on CSS boxes (read: rectangles), while svg is a bit more expressive than just rectangles. Read the SVG Primer to learn a bit more about what you can do with SVG filters.

implements Closeable or implements AutoCloseable

The try-with-resources Statement.

The try-with-resources statement is a try statement that declares one or more resources. A resource is an object that must be closed after the program is finished with it. The try-with-resources statement ensures that each resource is closed at the end of the statement. Any object that implements java.lang.AutoCloseable, which includes all objects which implement java.io.Closeable, can be used as a resource.

The following example reads the first line from a file. It uses an instance of BufferedReader to read data from the file. BufferedReader is a resource that must be closed after the program is finished with it:

static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
    try (BufferedReader br =
                   new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path))) {
        return br.readLine();
    }
}

In this example, the resource declared in the try-with-resources statement is a BufferedReader. The declaration statement appears within parentheses immediately after the try keyword. The class BufferedReader, in Java SE 7 and later, implements the interface java.lang.AutoCloseable. Because the BufferedReader instance is declared in a try-with-resource statement, it will be closed regardless of whether the try statement completes normally or abruptly (as a result of the method BufferedReader.readLine throwing an IOException).

Prior to Java SE 7, you can use a finally block to ensure that a resource is closed regardless of whether the try statement completes normally or abruptly. The following example uses a finally block instead of a try-with-resources statement:

static String readFirstLineFromFileWithFinallyBlock(String path)
                                                     throws IOException {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
    try {
        return br.readLine();
    } finally {
        if (br != null) br.close();
    }

}

Please refer to the docs.

How to combine class and ID in CSS selector?

Ids are supposed to be unique document wide, so you shouldn't have to select based on both. You can assign an element multiple classes though with class="class1 class2"

I can't delete a remote master branch on git

To answer the question literally (since GitHub is not in the question title), also be aware of this post over on superuser. EDIT: Answer copied here in relevant part, slightly modified for clarity in square brackets:

You're getting rejected because you're trying to delete the branch that your origin has currently "checked out".

If you have direct access to the repo, you can just open up a shell [in the bare repo] directory and use good old git branch to see what branch origin is currently on. To change it to another branch, you have to use git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/another-branch.

How to switch between python 2.7 to python 3 from command line?

They are 3 ways you can achieve this using the py command (py-launcher) in python 3, virtual environment or configuring your default python system path. For illustration purpose, you may see tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynDlb0n27cw&t=38s

How to split a string in Haskell?

I find this simpler to understand:

MS Access: how to compact current database in VBA

For Access 2013, you could just do

Sendkeys "%fic"

This is the same as typing ALT, F, I, C on your keyboard.

It's probably a different sequence of letters for different versions, but the "%" symbol means "ALT", so keep that in the code. you may just need to change the letters, depending on what letters appear when you press ALT

Letters that appear when pressing ALT in Access 2013

How to check if an object is a certain type

In VB.NET, you need to use the GetType method to retrieve the type of an instance of an object, and the GetType() operator to retrieve the type of another known type.

Once you have the two types, you can simply compare them using the Is operator.

So your code should actually be written like this:

Sub FillCategories(ByVal Obj As Object)
    Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("sp_Resources_Categories", Conn)
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
    Obj.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader
    If Obj.GetType() Is GetType(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList) Then

    End If
    Obj.DataBind()
End Sub

You can also use the TypeOf operator instead of the GetType method. Note that this tests if your object is compatible with the given type, not that it is the same type. That would look like this:

If TypeOf Obj Is System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList Then

End If

Totally trivial, irrelevant nitpick: Traditionally, the names of parameters are camelCased (which means they always start with a lower-case letter) when writing .NET code (either VB.NET or C#). This makes them easy to distinguish at a glance from classes, types, methods, etc.

Create a custom event in Java

There are 3 different ways you may wish to set this up:

  1. Thrower inside of Catcher
  2. Catcher inside of Thrower
  3. Thrower and Catcher inside of another class in this example Test

THE WORKING GITHUB EXAMPLE I AM CITING Defaults to Option 3, to try the others simply uncomment the "Optional" code block of the class you want to be main, and set that class as the ${Main-Class} variable in the build.xml file:

}
/*_____________________________________________________________*/class Thrower {
//list of catchers & corresponding function to add/remove them in the list
    List<ThrowListener> listeners = new ArrayList<ThrowListener>();
    public void addThrowListener(ThrowListener toAdd){ listeners.add(toAdd); }
    //Set of functions that Throw Events.
        public void Throw(){ for (ThrowListener hl : listeners) hl.Catch();

Single-threaded apartment - cannot instantiate ActiveX control

The problem you're running into is that most background thread / worker APIs will create the thread in a Multithreaded Apartment state. The error message indicates that the control requires the thread be a Single Threaded Apartment.

You can work around this by creating a thread yourself and specifying the STA apartment state on the thread.

var t = new Thread(MyThreadStartMethod);
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();

MySQL JOIN the most recent row only?

You may want to try the following:

SELECT    CONCAT(title, ' ', forename, ' ', surname) AS name
FROM      customer c
JOIN      (
              SELECT    MAX(id) max_id, customer_id 
              FROM      customer_data 
              GROUP BY  customer_id
          ) c_max ON (c_max.customer_id = c.customer_id)
JOIN      customer_data cd ON (cd.id = c_max.max_id)
WHERE     CONCAT(title, ' ', forename, ' ', surname) LIKE '%Smith%' 
LIMIT     10, 20;

Note that a JOIN is just a synonym for INNER JOIN.

Test case:

CREATE TABLE customer (customer_id int);
CREATE TABLE customer_data (
   id int, 
   customer_id int, 
   title varchar(10),
   forename varchar(10),
   surname varchar(10)
);

INSERT INTO customer VALUES (1);
INSERT INTO customer VALUES (2);
INSERT INTO customer VALUES (3);

INSERT INTO customer_data VALUES (1, 1, 'Mr', 'Bobby', 'Smith');
INSERT INTO customer_data VALUES (2, 1, 'Mr', 'Bob', 'Smith');
INSERT INTO customer_data VALUES (3, 2, 'Mr', 'Jane', 'Green');
INSERT INTO customer_data VALUES (4, 2, 'Miss', 'Jane', 'Green');
INSERT INTO customer_data VALUES (5, 3, 'Dr', 'Jack', 'Black');

Result (query without the LIMIT and WHERE):

SELECT    CONCAT(title, ' ', forename, ' ', surname) AS name
FROM      customer c
JOIN      (
              SELECT    MAX(id) max_id, customer_id 
              FROM      customer_data 
              GROUP BY  customer_id
          ) c_max ON (c_max.customer_id = c.customer_id)
JOIN      customer_data cd ON (cd.id = c_max.max_id);

A JRE or JDK must be available in order to run Eclipse. No JVM was found after searching the following locations

I just had this problem and fixed it this way. I noticed the error message has jre in it not jre6 or jre7, so i copied jre6 from program files to eclipse folder then renamed it from jre6 to jre, then it worked :p

DLL References in Visual C++

You need to do a couple of things to use the library:

  1. Make sure that you have both the *.lib and the *.dll from the library you want to use. If you don't have the *.lib, skip #2

  2. Put a reference to the *.lib in the project. Right click the project name in the Solution Explorer and then select Configuration Properties->Linker->Input and put the name of the lib in the Additional Dependencies property.

  3. You have to make sure that VS can find the lib you just added so you have to go to the Tools menu and select Options... Then under Projects and Solutions select VC++ Directories,edit Library Directory option. From within here you can set the directory that contains your new lib by selecting the 'Library Files' in the 'Show Directories For:' drop down box. Just add the path to your lib file in the list of directories. If you dont have a lib you can omit this, but while your here you will also need to set the directory which contains your header files as well under the 'Include Files'. Do it the same way you added the lib.

After doing this you should be good to go and can use your library. If you dont have a lib file you can still use the dll by importing it yourself. During your applications startup you can explicitly load the dll by calling LoadLibrary (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684175(VS.85).aspx for more info)

Cheers!

EDIT

Remember to use #include < Foo.h > as opposed to #include "foo.h". The former searches the include path. The latter uses the local project files.

What is the best way to clone/deep copy a .NET generic Dictionary<string, T>?

For .NET 2.0 you could implement a class which inherits from Dictionary and implements ICloneable.

public class CloneableDictionary<TKey, TValue> : Dictionary<TKey, TValue> where TValue : ICloneable
{
    public IDictionary<TKey, TValue> Clone()
    {
        CloneableDictionary<TKey, TValue> clone = new CloneableDictionary<TKey, TValue>();

        foreach (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> pair in this)
        {
            clone.Add(pair.Key, (TValue)pair.Value.Clone());
        }

        return clone;
    }
}

You can then clone the dictionary simply by calling the Clone method. Of course this implementation requires that the value type of the dictionary implements ICloneable, but otherwise a generic implementation isn't practical at all.

Difference between if () { } and if () : endif;

I think that it really depends on your personal coding style. If you're used to C++, Javascript, etc., you might feel more comfortable using the {} syntax. If you're used to Visual Basic, you might want to use the if : endif; syntax.

I'm not sure one can definitively say one is easier to read than the other - it's personal preference. I usually do something like this:

<?php
if ($foo) { ?>
   <p>Foo!</p><?php
} else { ?>
   <p>Bar!</p><?php
}  // if-else ($foo) ?>

Whether that's easier to read than:

<?php
if ($foo): ?>
   <p>Foo!</p><?php
else: ?>
   <p>Bar!</p><?php
endif; ?>

is a matter of opinion. I can see why some would feel the 2nd way is easier - but only if you haven't been programming in Javascript and C++ all your life. :)

How do I make Visual Studio pause after executing a console application in debug mode?

Adding the following line will do a simple MS-DOS pause displaying no message.

system("pause >nul | set /p \"=\"");

And there is no need to Ctrl+F5 (which will make your application run in Release Mode)

What is the difference between display: inline and display: inline-block?

display: inline; is a display mode to use in a sentence. For instance, if you have a paragraph and want to highlight a single word you do:

<p>
    Pellentesque habitant morbi <em>tristique</em> senectus
    et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.
</p>

The <em> element has a display: inline; by default, because this tag is always used in a sentence. The <p> element has a display: block; by default, because it's neither a sentence nor in a sentence, it's a block of sentences.

An element with display: inline; cannot have a height or a width or a vertical margin. An element with display: block; can have a width, height and margin.
If you want to add a height to the <em> element, you need to set this element to display: inline-block;. Now you can add a height to the element and every other block style (the block part of inline-block), but it is placed in a sentence (the inline part of inline-block).

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?

That particular phrasing is by James Iry, from his highly entertaining Brief, Incomplete and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages, in which he fictionally attributes it to Philip Wadler.

The original quote is from Saunders Mac Lane in Categories for the Working Mathematician, one of the foundational texts of Category Theory. Here it is in context, which is probably the best place to learn exactly what it means.

But, I'll take a stab. The original sentence is this:

All told, a monad in X is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors of X, with product × replaced by composition of endofunctors and unit set by the identity endofunctor.

X here is a category. Endofunctors are functors from a category to itself (which is usually all Functors as far as functional programmers are concerned, since they're mostly dealing with just one category; the category of types - but I digress). But you could imagine another category which is the category of "endofunctors on X". This is a category in which the objects are endofunctors and the morphisms are natural transformations.

And of those endofunctors, some of them might be monads. Which ones are monads? Exactly the ones which are monoidal in a particular sense. Instead of spelling out the exact mapping from monads to monoids (since Mac Lane does that far better than I could hope to), I'll just put their respective definitions side by side and let you compare:

A monoid is...

  • A set, S
  • An operation, • : S × S ? S
  • An element of S, e : 1 ? S

...satisfying these laws:

  • (a • b) • c = a • (b • c), for all a, b and c in S
  • e • a = a • e = a, for all a in S

A monad is...

  • An endofunctor, T : X ? X (in Haskell, a type constructor of kind * -> * with a Functor instance)
  • A natural transformation, µ : T × T ? T, where × means functor composition (µ is known as join in Haskell)
  • A natural transformation, ? : I ? T, where I is the identity endofunctor on X (? is known as return in Haskell)

...satisfying these laws:

  • µ ° Tµ = µ ° µT
  • µ ° T? = µ ° ?T = 1 (the identity natural transformation)

With a bit of squinting you might be able to see that both of these definitions are instances of the same abstract concept.

Freeing up a TCP/IP port?

I think the only way will be to stop the process which has opened the port.

ini_set("memory_limit") in PHP 5.3.3 is not working at all

Ubuntu 10.04 comes with the Suhosin patch only, which does not give you configuration options. But you can install php5-suhosin to solve this:

apt-get update
apt-get install php5-suhosin

Now you can edit /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini and set:

suhosin.memory_limit = 1G

Then using ini_set will work in a script:

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

Ruby: Calling class method from instance

Rather than referring to the literal name of the class, inside an instance method you can just call self.class.whatever.

class Foo
    def self.some_class_method
        puts self
    end

    def some_instance_method
        self.class.some_class_method
    end
end

print "Class method: "
Foo.some_class_method

print "Instance method: "
Foo.new.some_instance_method

Outputs:

Class method: Foo
Instance method: Foo

how to remove the bold from a headline?

You can also set the style with a id or class attribute.

Adding days to $Date in PHP

Here is a small snippet to demonstrate the date modifications:

$date = date("Y-m-d");
//increment 2 days
$mod_date = strtotime($date."+ 2 days");
echo date("Y-m-d",$mod_date) . "\n";

//decrement 2 days
$mod_date = strtotime($date."- 2 days");
echo date("Y-m-d",$mod_date) . "\n";

//increment 1 month
$mod_date = strtotime($date."+ 1 months");
echo date("Y-m-d",$mod_date) . "\n";

//increment 1 year
$mod_date = strtotime($date."+ 1 years");
echo date("Y-m-d",$mod_date) . "\n";

Python - abs vs fabs

math.fabs() always returns float, while abs() may return integer.

SELECT * FROM multiple tables. MySQL

In order to get rid of duplicates, you can group by drinks.id. But that way you'll get only one photo for each drinks.id (which photo you'll get depends on database internal implementation).

Though it is not documented, in case of MySQL, you'll get the photo with lowest id (in my experience I've never seen other behavior).

SELECT name, price, photo 
FROM drinks, drinks_photos 
WHERE drinks.id = drinks_id
GROUP BY drinks.id

int to unsigned int conversion

You can convert an int to an unsigned int. The conversion is valid and well-defined.

Since the value is negative, UINT_MAX + 1 is added to it so that the value is a valid unsigned quantity. (Technically, 2N is added to it, where N is the number of bits used to represent the unsigned type.)

In this case, since int on your platform has a width of 32 bits, 62 is subtracted from 232, yielding 4,294,967,234.

How to round an average to 2 decimal places in PostgreSQL?

you can use the function below

 SELECT TRUNC(14.568,2);

the result will show :

14.56

you can also cast your variable to the desire type :

 SELECT TRUNC(YOUR_VAR::numeric,2)

What is the copy-and-swap idiom?

There are some good answers already. I'll focus mainly on what I think they lack - an explanation of the "cons" with the copy-and-swap idiom....

What is the copy-and-swap idiom?

A way of implementing the assignment operator in terms of a swap function:

X& operator=(X rhs)
{
    swap(rhs);
    return *this;
}

The fundamental idea is that:

  • the most error-prone part of assigning to an object is ensuring any resources the new state needs are acquired (e.g. memory, descriptors)

  • that acquisition can be attempted before modifying the current state of the object (i.e. *this) if a copy of the new value is made, which is why rhs is accepted by value (i.e. copied) rather than by reference

  • swapping the state of the local copy rhs and *this is usually relatively easy to do without potential failure/exceptions, given the local copy doesn't need any particular state afterwards (just needs state fit for the destructor to run, much as for an object being moved from in >= C++11)

When should it be used? (Which problems does it solve [/create]?)

  • When you want the assigned-to objected unaffected by an assignment that throws an exception, assuming you have or can write a swap with strong exception guarantee, and ideally one that can't fail/throw..†

  • When you want a clean, easy to understand, robust way to define the assignment operator in terms of (simpler) copy constructor, swap and destructor functions.

    • Self-assignment done as a copy-and-swap avoids oft-overlooked edge cases.‡

  • When any performance penalty or momentarily higher resource usage created by having an extra temporary object during the assignment is not important to your application. ?

swap throwing: it's generally possible to reliably swap data members that the objects track by pointer, but non-pointer data members that don't have a throw-free swap, or for which swapping has to be implemented as X tmp = lhs; lhs = rhs; rhs = tmp; and copy-construction or assignment may throw, still have the potential to fail leaving some data members swapped and others not. This potential applies even to C++03 std::string's as James comments on another answer:

@wilhelmtell: In C++03, there is no mention of exceptions potentially thrown by std::string::swap (which is called by std::swap). In C++0x, std::string::swap is noexcept and must not throw exceptions. – James McNellis Dec 22 '10 at 15:24


‡ assignment operator implementation that seems sane when assigning from a distinct object can easily fail for self-assignment. While it might seem unimaginable that client code would even attempt self-assignment, it can happen relatively easily during algo operations on containers, with x = f(x); code where f is (perhaps only for some #ifdef branches) a macro ala #define f(x) x or a function returning a reference to x, or even (likely inefficient but concise) code like x = c1 ? x * 2 : c2 ? x / 2 : x;). For example:

struct X
{
    T* p_;
    size_t size_;
    X& operator=(const X& rhs)
    {
        delete[] p_;  // OUCH!
        p_ = new T[size_ = rhs.size_];
        std::copy(p_, rhs.p_, rhs.p_ + rhs.size_);
    }
    ...
};

On self-assignment, the above code delete's x.p_;, points p_ at a newly allocated heap region, then attempts to read the uninitialised data therein (Undefined Behaviour), if that doesn't do anything too weird, copy attempts a self-assignment to every just-destructed 'T'!


? The copy-and-swap idiom can introduce inefficiencies or limitations due to the use of an extra temporary (when the operator's parameter is copy-constructed):

struct Client
{
    IP_Address ip_address_;
    int socket_;
    X(const X& rhs)
      : ip_address_(rhs.ip_address_), socket_(connect(rhs.ip_address_))
    { }
};

Here, a hand-written Client::operator= might check if *this is already connected to the same server as rhs (perhaps sending a "reset" code if useful), whereas the copy-and-swap approach would invoke the copy-constructor which would likely be written to open a distinct socket connection then close the original one. Not only could that mean a remote network interaction instead of a simple in-process variable copy, it could run afoul of client or server limits on socket resources or connections. (Of course this class has a pretty horrid interface, but that's another matter ;-P).

Remove multiple whitespaces

I use this code and pattern:

preg_replace('/\\s+/', ' ',$data)

$data = 'This is   a Text 
   and so on         Text text on multiple lines and with        whitespaces';
$data= preg_replace('/\\s+/', ' ',$data);
echo $data;

How to merge a transparent png image with another image using PIL

I ended up coding myself the suggestion of this comment made by the user @P.Melch and suggested by @Mithril on a project I'm working on.

I coded out of bounds safety as well, here's the code for it. (I linked a specific commit because things can change in the future of this repository)

Note: I expect numpy arrays from the images like so np.array(Image.open(...)) as the inputs A and B from copy_from and this linked function overlay arguments.

The dependencies are the function right before it, the copy_from method, and numpy arrays as the PIL Image content for slicing.

Though the file is very class oriented, if you want to use that function overlay_transparent, be sure to rename the self.frame to your background image numpy array.

Or you can just copy the whole file (probably remove some imports and the Utils class) and interact with this Frame class like so:

# Assuming you named the file frame.py in the same directory
from frame import Frame

background = Frame()
overlay = Frame()

background.load_from_path("your path here")
overlay.load_from_path("your path here")

background.overlay_transparent(overlay.frame, x=300, y=200)

Then you have your background.frame as the overlayed and alpha composited array, you can get a PIL image from it with overlayed = Image.fromarray(background.frame) or something like:

overlayed = Frame()
overlayed.load_from_array(background.frame)

Or just background.save("save path") as that takes directly from the alpha composited internal self.frame variable.

You can read the file and find some other nice functions with this implementation I coded like the methods get_rgb_frame_array, resize_by_ratio, resize_to_resolution, rotate, gaussian_blur, transparency, vignetting :)

You'd probably want to remove the resolve_pending method as that is specific for that project.

Glad if I helped you, be sure to check out the repo of the project I'm talking about, this question and thread helped me a lot on the development :)

How to convert string to boolean php

function stringToBool($string){
    return ( mb_strtoupper( trim( $string)) === mb_strtoupper ("true")) ? TRUE : FALSE;
}

or

function stringToBool($string) {
    return filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);
}

Clear variable in python

var = None "clears the value", setting the value of the variable to "null" like value of "None", however the pointer to the variable remains.

del var removes the definition for the variable totally.

In case you want to use the variable later, e.g. set a new value for it, i.e. retain the variable, None would be better.

Removing carriage return and new-line from the end of a string in c#

String temp = s.Replace("\r\n","").Trim();

s being the original string. (Note capitals)

Setting a global PowerShell variable from a function where the global variable name is a variable passed to the function

The first suggestion in latkin's answer seems good, although I would suggest the less long-winded way below.

PS c:\temp> $global:test="one"

PS c:\temp> $test
one

PS c:\temp> function changet() {$global:test="two"}

PS c:\temp> changet

PS c:\temp> $test
two

His second suggestion however about being bad programming practice, is fair enough in a simple computation like this one, but what if you want to return a more complicated output from your variable? For example, what if you wanted the function to return an array or an object? That's where, for me, PowerShell functions seem to fail woefully. Meaning you have no choice other than to pass it back from the function using a global variable. For example:

PS c:\temp> function changet([byte]$a,[byte]$b,[byte]$c) {$global:test=@(($a+$b),$c,($a+$c))}

PS c:\temp> changet 1 2 3

PS c:\temp> $test
3
3
4

PS C:\nb> $test[2]
4

I know this might feel like a bit of a digression, but I feel in order to answer the original question we need to establish whether global variables are bad programming practice and whether, in more complex functions, there is a better way. (If there is one I'd be interested to here it.)

How to make Apache serve index.php instead of index.html?

As others have noted, most likely you don't have .html set up to handle php code.

Having said that, if all you're doing is using index.html to include index.php, your question should probably be 'how do I use index.php as index document?

In which case, for Apache (httpd.conf), search for DirectoryIndex and replace the line with this (will only work if you have dir_module enabled, but that's default on most installs):

DirectoryIndex index.php

If you use other directory indexes, list them in order of preference i.e.

DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.html index.htm

Loop timer in JavaScript

Note that setTimeout and setInterval are very different functions:

  • setTimeout will execute the code once, after the timeout.
  • setInterval will execute the code forever, in intervals of the provided timeout.

Both functions return a timer ID which you can use to abort the timeout. All you have to do is store that value in a variable and use it as argument to clearTimeout(tid) or clearInterval(tid) respectively.

So, depending on what you want to do, you have two valid choices:

// set timeout
var tid = setTimeout(mycode, 2000);
function mycode() {
  // do some stuff...
  tid = setTimeout(mycode, 2000); // repeat myself
}
function abortTimer() { // to be called when you want to stop the timer
  clearTimeout(tid);
}

or

// set interval
var tid = setInterval(mycode, 2000);
function mycode() {
  // do some stuff...
  // no need to recall the function (it's an interval, it'll loop forever)
}
function abortTimer() { // to be called when you want to stop the timer
  clearInterval(tid);
}

Both are very common ways of achieving the same.

How can I mock requests and the response?

Here is what worked for me:

import mock
@mock.patch('requests.get', mock.Mock(side_effect = lambda k:{'aurl': 'a response', 'burl' : 'b response'}.get(k, 'unhandled request %s'%k)))

Is it necessary to assign a string to a variable before comparing it to another?

Do I really have to create an NSString for "Wrong"?

No, why not just do:

if([statusString isEqualToString:@"Wrong"]){
    //doSomething;
}

Using @"" simply creates a string literal, which is a valid NSString.

Also, can I compare the value of a UILabel.text to a string without assigning the label value to a string?

Yes, you can do something like:

UILabel *label = ...;
if([someString isEqualToString:label.text]) {
    // Do stuff here 
}

Set HTTP header for one request

Try this, perhaps it works ;)

.factory('authInterceptor', function($location, $q, $window) {


return {
    request: function(config) {
      config.headers = config.headers || {};

      config.headers.Authorization = 'xxxx-xxxx';

      return config;
    }
  };
})

.config(function($httpProvider) {
  $httpProvider.interceptors.push('authInterceptor');
})

And make sure your back end works too, try this. I'm using RESTful CodeIgniter.

class App extends REST_Controller {
    var $authorization = null;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
        header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-API-KEY, Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Access-Control-Request-Method, Authorization");
        header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE");
        if ( "OPTIONS" === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) {
            die();
        }

        if(!$this->input->get_request_header('Authorization')){
            $this->response(null, 400);    
        }

        $this->authorization = $this->input->get_request_header('Authorization');
    }

}

What is managed or unmanaged code in programming?

This is a good article about the subject.

To summarize,

  1. Managed code is not compiled to machine code but to an intermediate language which is interpreted and executed by some service on a machine and is therefore operating within a (hopefully!) secure framework which handles dangerous things like memory and threads for you. In modern usage this frequently means .NET but does not have to.

An application program that is executed within a runtime engine installed in the same machine. The application cannot run without it. The runtime environment provides the general library of software routines that the program uses and typically performs memory management. It may also provide just-in-time (JIT) conversion from source code to executable code or from an intermediate language to executable code. Java, Visual Basic and .NET's Common Language Runtime (CLR) are examples of runtime engines. (Read more)

  1. Unmanaged code is compiled to machine code and therefore executed by the OS directly. It therefore has the ability to do damaging/powerful things Managed code does not. This is how everything used to work, so typically it's associated with old stuff like .dlls.

An executable program that runs by itself. Launched from the operating system, the program calls upon and uses the software routines in the operating system, but does not require another software system to be used. Assembly language programs that have been assembled into machine language and C/C++ programs compiled into machine language for a particular platform are examples of unmanaged code.(Read more)

  1. Native code is often synonymous with Unmanaged, but is not identical.

What's the main difference between Java SE and Java EE?

JavaSE and JavaEE both are computing platform which allows the developed software to run.

There are three main computing platform released by Sun Microsystems, which was eventually taken over by the Oracle Corporation. The computing platforms are all based on the Java programming language. These computing platforms are:

Java SE, i.e. Java Standard Edition. It is normally used for developing desktop applications. It forms the core/base API.

Java EE, i.e. Java Enterprise Edition. This was originally known as Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition or J2EE. The name was eventually changed to Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE in version 5. Java EE is mainly used for applications which run on servers, such as web sites.

Java ME, i.e. Java Micro Edition. It is mainly used for applications which run on resource constrained devices (small scale devices) like cell phones, most commonly games.

Valid characters of a hostname?

If you're registering a domain and the termination (ex .com) it is not IDN, as Aaron Hathaway said: Hostnames are composed of series of labels concatenated with dots, as are all domain names. For example, en.wikipedia.org is a hostname. Each label must be between 1 and 63 characters long, and the entire hostname (including the delimiting dots but not a trailing dot) has a maximum of 253 ASCII characters.

The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters a through z (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits 0 through 9, and the hyphen -. The original specification of hostnames in RFC 952, mandated that labels could not start with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen. However, a subsequent specification (RFC 1123) permitted hostname labels to start with digits. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.

Later, Spain with it's .es, .com.es, .org.es, .nom,es, .gob.es and .edu.es introduced IDN tlds, if your tld is one of .es or any other that supports it, any character can be used, but you can't combine alphabets like Latin, Greek or Cyril in one hostname, and that it respects the things that can't go at the start or at the end.

If you're using non-registered tlds, just for local networking, like with local DNS or with hosts files, you can treat them all as IDN.

Keep in mind some programs could not work well, especially old, outdated and unpopular ones.

Finding length of char array

You can do len = sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a) for any kind of array. But, you have initialized it as a[7] = {...} meaning its length is 7...

Python memory usage of numpy arrays

In python notebooks I often want to filter out 'dangling' numpy.ndarray's, in particular the ones that are stored in _1, _2, etc that were never really meant to stay alive.

I use this code to get a listing of all of them and their size.

Not sure if locals() or globals() is better here.

import sys
import numpy
from humanize import naturalsize

for size, name in sorted(
    (value.nbytes, name)
    for name, value in locals().items()
    if isinstance(value, numpy.ndarray)):
  print("{:>30}: {:>8}".format(name, naturalsize(size)))

Is it possible to send a variable number of arguments to a JavaScript function?

You can actually pass as many values as you want to any javascript function. The explicitly named parameters will get the first few values, but ALL parameters will be stored in the arguments array.

To pass the arguments array in "unpacked" form, you can use apply, like so (c.f. Functional Javascript):

var otherFunc = function() {
   alert(arguments.length); // Outputs: 10
}

var myFunc = function() {
  alert(arguments.length); // Outputs: 10
  otherFunc.apply(this, arguments);
}
myFunc(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);

Get environment value in controller

In config/app.php file make a instance of env variable like 'name' => env('APP_NAME', 'Laravel') & In your controller call it like config('app.name')

Run following commands php artisan config:cache php artisan cache:clear if it is not working.

reading from stdin in c++

You have not defined the variable input_line.

Add this:

string input_line;

And add this include.

#include <string>

Here is the full example. I also removed the semi-colon after the while loop, and you should have getline inside the while to properly detect the end of the stream.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
    for (std::string line; std::getline(std::cin, line);) {
        std::cout << line << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

How do I set up a simple delegate to communicate between two view controllers?

Following solution is very basic and simple approach to send data from VC2 to VC1 using delegate .

PS: This solution is made in Xcode 9.X and Swift 4

Declared a protocol and created a delegate var into ViewControllerB

    import UIKit

    //Declare the Protocol into your SecondVC
    protocol DataDelegate {
        func sendData(data : String)
    }

    class ViewControllerB : UIViewController {

    //Declare the delegate property in your SecondVC
        var delegate : DataDelegate?
        var data : String = "Send data to ViewControllerA."
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
        }

        @IBAction func btnSendDataPushed(_ sender: UIButton) {
                // Call the delegate method from SecondVC
                self.delegate?.sendData(data:self.data)
                dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
            }
        }

ViewControllerA confirms the protocol and expected to receive data via delegate method sendData

    import UIKit
        // Conform the  DataDelegate protocol in ViewControllerA
        class ViewControllerA : UIViewController , DataDelegate {
        @IBOutlet weak var dataLabel: UILabel!

        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
        }

        @IBAction func presentToChild(_ sender: UIButton) {
            let childVC =  UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:"ViewControllerB") as! ViewControllerB
            //Registered delegate
            childVC.delegate = self
            self.present(childVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }

        // Implement the delegate method in ViewControllerA
        func sendData(data : String) {
            if data != "" {
                self.dataLabel.text = data
            }
        }
    }

original

Not entirely sure from your question what your requirements are but I think this should do what you want.

The Tabs component gets an array of types passed and it creates "tabs" for each item in the array.

@Component({
  selector: 'dcl-wrapper',
  template: `<div #target></div>`
})
export class DclWrapper {
  constructor(private elRef:ElementRef, private dcl:DynamicComponentLoader) {}
  @Input() type;

  ngOnChanges() {
    if(this.cmpRef) {
      this.cmpRef.dispose();
    }
    this.dcl.loadIntoLocation(this.type, this.elRef, 'target').then((cmpRef) => {
      this.cmpRef = cmpRef;
    });
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'c1',
  template: `<h2>c1</h2>`

})
export class C1 {
}

@Component({
  selector: 'c2',
  template: `<h2>c2</h2>`

})
export class C2 {
}

@Component({
  selector: 'c3',
  template: `<h2>c3</h2>`

})
export class C3 {
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-tabs',
  directives: [DclWrapper],
  template: `
  <h2>Tabs</h2>
  <div *ngFor="let tab of tabs">

`
})
export class Tabs {
  @Input() tabs;
}

Plunker example beta.15 (not based on your Plunker)

There is also a way to pass data along that can be passed to the dynamically created component like (someData would need to be passed like type)

    this.dcl.loadIntoLocation(this.type, this.elRef, 'target').then((cmpRef) => {
  cmpRef.instance.someProperty = someData;
  this.cmpRef = cmpRef;
});

There is also some support to use dependency injection with shared services.

ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allows for this column

This indicates you are trying to put something too big into a column. For example, you have a VARCHAR2(10) column and you are putting in 11 characters. Same thing with number.

This is happening at line 176 of package UMAIN. You would need to go and have a look at that to see what it is up to. Hopefully you can look it up in your source control (or from user_source). Later versions of Oracle report this error better, telling you which column and what value.

Mocking static methods with Mockito

Use PowerMockito on top of Mockito.

Example code:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(DriverManager.class)
public class Mocker {

    @Test
    public void shouldVerifyParameters() throws Exception {

        //given
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(DriverManager.class);
        BDDMockito.given(DriverManager.getConnection(...)).willReturn(...);

        //when
        sut.execute(); // System Under Test (sut)

        //then
        PowerMockito.verifyStatic();
        DriverManager.getConnection(...);

    }

How do you make strings "XML safe"?

I prefer the way Golang does quote escaping for XML (and a few extras like newline escaping, and escaping some other characters), so I have ported its XML escape function to PHP below

function isInCharacterRange(int $r): bool {
    return $r == 0x09 ||
            $r == 0x0A ||
            $r == 0x0D ||
            $r >= 0x20 && $r <= 0xDF77 ||
            $r >= 0xE000 && $r <= 0xFFFD ||
            $r >= 0x10000 && $r <= 0x10FFFF;
}

function xml(string $s, bool $escapeNewline = true): string {
    $w = '';

    $Last = 0;
    $l = strlen($s);
    $i = 0;

    while ($i < $l) {
        $r = mb_substr(substr($s, $i), 0, 1);
        $Width = strlen($r);
        $i += $Width;
        switch ($r) {
            case '"':
                $esc = '&#34;';
                break;
            case "'":
                $esc = '&#39;';
                break;
            case '&':
                $esc = '&amp;';
                break;
            case '<':
                $esc = '&lt;';
                break;
            case '>':
                $esc = '&gt;';
                break;
            case "\t":
                $esc = '&#x9;';
                break;
            case "\n":
                if (!$escapeNewline) {
                    continue 2;
                }
                $esc = '&#xA;';
                break;
            case "\r":
                $esc = '&#xD;';
                break;
            default:
                if (!isInCharacterRange(mb_ord($r)) || (mb_ord($r) === 0xFFFD && $Width === 1)) {
                    $esc = "\u{FFFD}";
                    break;
                }

                continue 2;
        }
        $w .= substr($s, $Last, $i - $Last - $Width) . $esc;
        $Last = $i;
    }
    $w .= substr($s, $Last);
    return $w;
}

Note you'll need at least PHP7.2 because of the mb_ord usage, or you'll have to swap it out for another polyfill, but these functions are working great for us!

Error "Metadata file '...\Release\project.dll' could not be found in Visual Studio"

Did you check the Configuration manager settings? In the project settings dialog top right corner.

Sometimes it happens that between all the release entries a debug entry comes in. If so, the auto dependency created by the dependency graph of the solution gets all confused.

Version vs build in Xcode

The script to autoincrement the build number in the answer above didn't work for me if the build number is a floating point value, so I modified it a little:

#!/bin/bash    
buildNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$INFOPLIST_FILE")
buildNumber=`echo $buildNumber +1|bc`
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $buildNumber" "$INFOPLIST_FILE"

How to get current date & time in MySQL?

You can use not only now(), also current_timestamp() and localtimestamp(). The main reason of incorrect display timestamp is inserting NOW() with single quotes! It didn't work for me in MySQL Workbench because of this IDE add single quotes for mysql functions and i didn't recognize it at once )

Don't use functions with single quotes like in MySQL Workbench. It doesn't work.

What are .a and .so files?

They are used in the linking stage. .a files are statically linked, and .so files are sort-of linked, so that the library is needed whenever you run the exe.

You can find where they are stored by looking at any of the lib directories... /usr/lib and /lib have most of them, and there is also the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

How to query the permissions on an Oracle directory?

With Oracle 11g R2 (at least with 11.2.02) there is a view named datapump_dir_objs.

SELECT * FROM datapump_dir_objs;

The view shows the NAME of the directory object, the PATH as well as READ and WRITE permissions for the currently connected user. It does not show any directory objects which the current user has no permission to read from or write to, though.

Why does this SQL code give error 1066 (Not unique table/alias: 'user')?

You need to give the user table an alias the second time you join to it

e.g.

SELECT article . * , section.title, category.title, user.name, u2.name 
FROM article 
INNER JOIN section ON article.section_id = section.id 
INNER JOIN category ON article.category_id = category.id 
INNER JOIN user ON article.author_id = user.id 
LEFT JOIN user u2 ON article.modified_by = u2.id 
WHERE article.id = '1'

Recursive mkdir() system call on Unix

I'm not allowed to comment on the first (and accepted) answer (not enough rep), so I'll post my comments as code in a new answer. The code below is based on the first answer, but fixes a number of problems:

  • If called with a zero-length path, this does not read or write the character before the beginning of array opath[] (yes, "why would you call it that way?", but on the other hand "why would you not fix the vulnerability?")
  • the size of opath is now PATH_MAX (which isn't perfect, but is better than a constant)
  • if the path is as long as or longer than sizeof(opath) then it is properly terminated when copied (which strncpy() doesn't do)
  • you can specify the mode of the written directory, just as you can with the standard mkdir() (although if you specify non-user-writeable or non-user-executable then the recursion won't work)
  • main() returns the (required?) int
  • removed a few unnecessary #includes
  • I like the function name better ;)
// Based on http://nion.modprobe.de/blog/archives/357-Recursive-directory-creation.html
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <limits.h>

static void mkdirRecursive(const char *path, mode_t mode) {
    char opath[PATH_MAX];
    char *p;
    size_t len;

    strncpy(opath, path, sizeof(opath));
    opath[sizeof(opath) - 1] = '\0';
    len = strlen(opath);
    if (len == 0)
        return;
    else if (opath[len - 1] == '/')
        opath[len - 1] = '\0';
    for(p = opath; *p; p++)
        if (*p == '/') {
            *p = '\0';
            if (access(opath, F_OK))
                mkdir(opath, mode);
            *p = '/';
        }
    if (access(opath, F_OK))         /* if path is not terminated with / */
        mkdir(opath, mode);
}


int main (void) {
    mkdirRecursive("/Users/griscom/one/two/three", S_IRWXU);
    return 0;

Composer Warning: openssl extension is missing. How to enable in WAMP

All those answers are good, but in fact, if you want to understand, the extension directory need to be right if you want all you uncommented extensions to work. Can write a physical or relative path like

extension_dir = "C:/myStack/php/ext"

or

extension_dir = "../../php/ext"

It's relative to the httpd.exe Apache web server (C:\myStack\apache\bin) But if you want it to work with Composer or anything you need the physical path because the cli mode doesn't use the web server !

How do I diff the same file between two different commits on the same branch?

How to post a file from a form with Axios

Add the file to a formData object, and set the Content-Type header to multipart/form-data.

var formData = new FormData();
var imagefile = document.querySelector('#file');
formData.append("image", imagefile.files[0]);
axios.post('upload_file', formData, {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
    }
})

Logical operators for boolean indexing in Pandas

When you say

(a['x']==1) and (a['y']==10)

You are implicitly asking Python to convert (a['x']==1) and (a['y']==10) to boolean values.

NumPy arrays (of length greater than 1) and Pandas objects such as Series do not have a boolean value -- in other words, they raise

ValueError: The truth value of an array is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.any() or a.all().

when used as a boolean value. That's because its unclear when it should be True or False. Some users might assume they are True if they have non-zero length, like a Python list. Others might desire for it to be True only if all its elements are True. Others might want it to be True if any of its elements are True.

Because there are so many conflicting expectations, the designers of NumPy and Pandas refuse to guess, and instead raise a ValueError.

Instead, you must be explicit, by calling the empty(), all() or any() method to indicate which behavior you desire.

In this case, however, it looks like you do not want boolean evaluation, you want element-wise logical-and. That is what the & binary operator performs:

(a['x']==1) & (a['y']==10)

returns a boolean array.


By the way, as alexpmil notes, the parentheses are mandatory since & has a higher operator precedence than ==. Without the parentheses, a['x']==1 & a['y']==10 would be evaluated as a['x'] == (1 & a['y']) == 10 which would in turn be equivalent to the chained comparison (a['x'] == (1 & a['y'])) and ((1 & a['y']) == 10). That is an expression of the form Series and Series. The use of and with two Series would again trigger the same ValueError as above. That's why the parentheses are mandatory.

PHP PDO with foreach and fetch

This is because you are reading a cursor, not an array. This means that you are reading sequentially through the results and when you get to the end you would need to reset the cursor to the beginning of the results to read them again.

If you did want to read over the results multiple times, you could use fetchAll to read the results into a true array and then it would work as you are expecting.

Why extend the Android Application class?

Application class is the object that has the full lifecycle of your application. It is your highest layer as an application. example possible usages:

  • You can add what you need when the application is started by overriding onCreate in the Application class.

  • store global variables that jump from Activity to Activity. Like Asynctask.

    etc

SQL Server: Database stuck in "Restoring" state

Ran into a similar issue while restoring the database using SQL server management studio and it got stuck into restoring mode. After several hours of issue tracking, the following query worked for me. The following query restores the database from an existing backup to a previous state. I believe, the catch is the to have the .mdf and .log file in the same directory.

RESTORE DATABASE aqua_lc_availability

How does a Java HashMap handle different objects with the same hash code?

The hashcode determines which bucket for the hashmap to check. If there is more than one object in the bucket then a linear search is done to find which item in the bucket equals the desired item (using the equals()) method.

In other words, if you have a perfect hashcode then hashmap access is constant, you will never have to iterate through a bucket (technically you would also have to have MAX_INT buckets, the Java implementation may share a few hash codes in the same bucket to cut down on space requirements). If you have the worst hashcode (always returns the same number) then your hashmap access becomes linear since you have to search through every item in the map (they're all in the same bucket) to get what you want.

Most of the time a well written hashcode isn't perfect but is unique enough to give you more or less constant access.

Webpack how to build production code and how to use it

You can add the plugins as suggested by @Vikramaditya. Then to generate the production build. You have to run the the command

NODE_ENV=production webpack --config ./webpack.production.config.js

If using babel, you will also need to prefix BABEL_ENV=node to the above command.

Convert timestamp to string

try this

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String string  = dateFormat.format(new Date());
System.out.println(string);

you can create any format see this

Submit Button Image

You have to remove the borders and add a background image on the input.

.imgClass { 
    background-image: url(path to image) no-repeat;
    width: 186px;
    height: 53px;
    border: none;
}

It should be good now, normally.

Deep copy of a dict in python

dict.copy() is a shallow copy function for dictionary
id is built-in function that gives you the address of variable

First you need to understand "why is this particular problem is happening?"

In [1]: my_dict = {'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}

In [2]: my_copy = my_dict.copy()

In [3]: id(my_dict)
Out[3]: 140190444167808

In [4]: id(my_copy)
Out[4]: 140190444170328

In [5]: id(my_copy['a'])
Out[5]: 140190444024104

In [6]: id(my_dict['a'])
Out[6]: 140190444024104

The address of the list present in both the dicts for key 'a' is pointing to same location.
Therefore when you change value of the list in my_dict, the list in my_copy changes as well.


Solution for data structure mentioned in the question:

In [7]: my_copy = {key: value[:] for key, value in my_dict.items()}

In [8]: id(my_copy['a'])
Out[8]: 140190444024176

Or you can use deepcopy as mentioned above.

How do I trim() a string in angularjs?

Why don't you simply use JavaScript's trim():

str.trim() //Will work everywhere irrespective of any framework.

For compatibility with <IE9 use:

if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') {
  String.prototype.trim = function() {
    return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); 
  }
}

How to check for a valid URL in Java?

Here is way I tried and found useful,

URL u = new URL(name); // this would check for the protocol
u.toURI(); // does the extra checking required for validation of URI 

How to get the file path from URI?

File myFile = new File(uri.toString());
myFile.getAbsolutePath()

should return u the correct path

EDIT

As @Tron suggested the working code is

File myFile = new File(uri.getPath());
myFile.getAbsolutePath()

Bootstrap visible and hidden classes not working properly

Your .mobile div has the following styles on it:

.mobile {
    display: none !important;
    visibility: hidden !important;
}

Therefore you need to override the visibility property with visible in addition to overriding the display property with block. Like so:

.visible-sm {
    display: block !important;
    visibility: visible !important;
}

Global Git ignore

  1. Create a .gitignore file in your home directory
touch ~/.gitignore
  1. Add files to it (folders aren't recognised)

Example

# these work
*.gz
*.tmproj
*.7z

# these won't as they are folders
.vscode/
build/

# but you can do this
.vscode/*
build/*
  1. Check if a git already has a global gitignore
git config --get core.excludesfile
  1. Tell git where the file is
git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'

Voila!!

How to run regasm.exe from command line other than Visual Studio command prompt?

I really dislike the hard coding of paths to get to regasm, when you install a new .Net or run on a machine with a different version, you need to ensure you find a version of regasm. Here's a solution to find the regasm.exe from the most current .Net installed regasm.

Within a bat file:

for /f %%a in ('dir %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\regasm.exe /s /b') do set currentRegasm="%%a"
%currentRegasm% "full\path\to\your.dll" /options

Outside of a bat file (i.e. command prompt), just use %a instead of %%a
