How to show shadow around the linearlayout in Android?

Actually I agree with @odedbreiner but I put the dialog_frame inside the first layer and hide the black background under the white layer.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:drawable="@android:drawable/dialog_frame"
        android:right="2dp" android:left="2dp" android:bottom="2dp" android:top="5dp" >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="5dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <shape
            android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
            <corners android:radius="5dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

How do I empty an input value with jQuery?

A better way is:

$("#element").val(null);

How can I do string interpolation in JavaScript?

Word of caution: avoid any template system which does't allow you to escape its own delimiters. For example, There would be no way to output the following using the supplant() method mentioned here.

"I am 3 years old thanks to my {age} variable."

Simple interpolation may work for small self-contained scripts, but often comes with this design flaw that will limit any serious use. I honestly prefer DOM templates, such as:

<div> I am <span id="age"></span> years old!</div>

And use jQuery manipulation: $('#age').text(3)

Alternately, if you are simply just tired of string concatenation, there's always alternate syntax:

var age = 3;
var str = ["I'm only", age, "years old"].join(" ");

Click event doesn't work on dynamically generated elements

.live function works great.

It is for Dynamically added elements to the stage.

$('#selectAllAssetTypes').live('click', function(event){
                    alert("BUTTON CLICKED");
                    $('.assetTypeCheckBox').attr('checked', true);
                });

How to get a variable name as a string in PHP?

Adapted from answers above for many variables, with good performance, just one $GLOBALS scan for many

function compact_assoc(&$v1='__undefined__', &$v2='__undefined__',&$v3='__undefined__',&$v4='__undefined__',&$v5='__undefined__',&$v6='__undefined__',&$v7='__undefined__',&$v8='__undefined__',&$v9='__undefined__',&$v10='__undefined__',&$v11='__undefined__',&$v12='__undefined__',&$v13='__undefined__',&$v14='__undefined__',&$v15='__undefined__',&$v16='__undefined__',&$v17='__undefined__',&$v18='__undefined__',&$v19='__undefined__'
) {
    $defined_vars=get_defined_vars();

    $result=Array();
    $reverse_key=Array();
    $original_value=Array();
    foreach( $defined_vars as $source_key => $source_value){
        if($source_value==='__undefined__') break;
        $original_value[$source_key]=$$source_key;
        $new_test_value="PREFIX".rand()."SUFIX";
        $reverse_key[$new_test_value]=$source_key;
        $$source_key=$new_test_value;

    }
    foreach($GLOBALS as $key => &$value){
        if( is_string($value) && isset($reverse_key[$value])  ) {
            $result[$key]=&$value;
        }
    }
    foreach( $original_value as $source_key => $original_value){
        $$source_key=$original_value;
    }
    return $result;
}


$a = 'A';
$b = 'B';
$c = '999';
$myArray=Array ('id'=>'id123','name'=>'Foo');
print_r(compact_assoc($a,$b,$c,$myArray) );

//print
Array
(
    [a] => A
    [b] => B
    [c] => 999
    [myArray] => Array
        (
            [id] => id123
            [name] => Foo
        )

)

Understanding colors on Android (six characters)

An 8-digit hex color value is a representation of ARGB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue), whereas a 6-digit value just assumes 100% opacity (fully opaque) and defines just the RGB values. So to make this be fully opaque, you can either use #FF555555, or just #555555. Each 2-digit hex value is one byte, representing values from 0-255.

How to uninstall an older PHP version from centOS7

Subscribing to the IUS Community Project Repository

cd ~
curl 'https://setup.ius.io/' -o setup-ius.sh

Run the script:

sudo bash setup-ius.sh

Upgrading mod_php with Apache

This section describes the upgrade process for a system using Apache as the web server and mod_php to execute PHP code. If, instead, you are running Nginx and PHP-FPM, skip ahead to the next section.

Begin by removing existing PHP packages. Press y and hit Enter to continue when prompted.

sudo yum remove php-cli mod_php php-common

Install the new PHP 7 packages from IUS. Again, press y and Enter when prompted.

sudo yum install mod_php70u php70u-cli php70u-mysqlnd

Finally, restart Apache to load the new version of mod_php:

sudo apachectl restart

You can check on the status of Apache, which is managed by the httpd systemd unit, using systemctl:

systemctl status httpd

How to update nested state properties in React

Create a copy of the state:

let someProperty = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.state.someProperty))

make changes in this object:

someProperty.flag = "false"

now update the state

this.setState({someProperty})

error TS2339: Property 'x' does not exist on type 'Y'

I was getting this error on Vue 3. It was because defineComponent must be imported like this:

<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from "vue";

export default defineComponent({
    name: "HelloWorld",
    props: {
        msg: String,
    },
    created() {
        this.testF();
    },
    methods: {
        testF() {
            console.log("testF");
        },
    },
});
</script>

Programmatically set the initial view controller using Storyboards

For all the Swift lovers out there, here is the answer by @Travis translated into SWIFT:

Do what @Travis explained before the Objective C code. Then,

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
    let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    var exampleViewController: ExampleViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ExampleController") as! ExampleViewController

    self.window?.rootViewController = exampleViewController

    self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

    return true
}

The ExampleViewController would be the new initial view controller you would like to show.

The steps explained:

  1. Create a new window with the size of the current window and set it as our main window
  2. Instantiate a storyboard that we can use to create our new initial view controller
  3. Instantiate our new initial view controller based on it's Storyboard ID
  4. Set our new window's root view controller as our the new controller we just initiated
  5. Make our new window visible

Enjoy and happy programming!

Select by partial string from a pandas DataFrame

How do I select by partial string from a pandas DataFrame?

This post is meant for readers who want to

  • search for a substring in a string column (the simplest case)
  • search for multiple substrings (similar to isin)
  • match a whole word from text (e.g., "blue" should match "the sky is blue" but not "bluejay")
  • match multiple whole words
  • Understand the reason behind "ValueError: cannot index with vector containing NA / NaN values"

...and would like to know more about what methods should be preferred over others.

(P.S.: I've seen a lot of questions on similar topics, I thought it would be good to leave this here.)

Friendly disclaimer, this is post is long.


Basic Substring Search

# setup
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'col': ['foo', 'foobar', 'bar', 'baz']})
df1

      col
0     foo
1  foobar
2     bar
3     baz

str.contains can be used to perform either substring searches or regex based search. The search defaults to regex-based unless you explicitly disable it.

Here is an example of regex-based search,

# find rows in `df1` which contain "foo" followed by something
df1[df1['col'].str.contains(r'foo(?!$)')]

      col
1  foobar

Sometimes regex search is not required, so specify regex=False to disable it.

#select all rows containing "foo"
df1[df1['col'].str.contains('foo', regex=False)]
# same as df1[df1['col'].str.contains('foo')] but faster.
   
      col
0     foo
1  foobar

Performance wise, regex search is slower than substring search:

df2 = pd.concat([df1] * 1000, ignore_index=True)

%timeit df2[df2['col'].str.contains('foo')]
%timeit df2[df2['col'].str.contains('foo', regex=False)]

6.31 ms ± 126 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
2.8 ms ± 241 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

Avoid using regex-based search if you don't need it.

Addressing ValueErrors
Sometimes, performing a substring search and filtering on the result will result in

ValueError: cannot index with vector containing NA / NaN values

This is usually because of mixed data or NaNs in your object column,

s = pd.Series(['foo', 'foobar', np.nan, 'bar', 'baz', 123])
s.str.contains('foo|bar')

0     True
1     True
2      NaN
3     True
4    False
5      NaN
dtype: object


s[s.str.contains('foo|bar')]
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

Anything that is not a string cannot have string methods applied on it, so the result is NaN (naturally). In this case, specify na=False to ignore non-string data,

s.str.contains('foo|bar', na=False)

0     True
1     True
2    False
3     True
4    False
5    False
dtype: bool

How do I apply this to multiple columns at once?
The answer is in the question. Use DataFrame.apply:

# `axis=1` tells `apply` to apply the lambda function column-wise.
df.apply(lambda col: col.str.contains('foo|bar', na=False), axis=1)

       A      B
0   True   True
1   True  False
2  False   True
3   True  False
4  False  False
5  False  False

All of the solutions below can be "applied" to multiple columns using the column-wise apply method (which is OK in my book, as long as you don't have too many columns).

If you have a DataFrame with mixed columns and want to select only the object/string columns, take a look at select_dtypes.


Multiple Substring Search

This is most easily achieved through a regex search using the regex OR pipe.

# Slightly modified example.
df4 = pd.DataFrame({'col': ['foo abc', 'foobar xyz', 'bar32', 'baz 45']})
df4

          col
0     foo abc
1  foobar xyz
2       bar32
3      baz 45

df4[df4['col'].str.contains(r'foo|baz')]

          col
0     foo abc
1  foobar xyz
3      baz 45

You can also create a list of terms, then join them:

terms = ['foo', 'baz']
df4[df4['col'].str.contains('|'.join(terms))]

          col
0     foo abc
1  foobar xyz
3      baz 45

Sometimes, it is wise to escape your terms in case they have characters that can be interpreted as regex metacharacters. If your terms contain any of the following characters...

. ^ $ * + ? { } [ ] \ | ( )

Then, you'll need to use re.escape to escape them:

import re
df4[df4['col'].str.contains('|'.join(map(re.escape, terms)))]

          col
0     foo abc
1  foobar xyz
3      baz 45

re.escape has the effect of escaping the special characters so they're treated literally.

re.escape(r'.foo^')
# '\\.foo\\^'

Matching Entire Word(s)

By default, the substring search searches for the specified substring/pattern regardless of whether it is full word or not. To only match full words, we will need to make use of regular expressions here—in particular, our pattern will need to specify word boundaries (\b).

For example,

df3 = pd.DataFrame({'col': ['the sky is blue', 'bluejay by the window']})
df3

                     col
0        the sky is blue
1  bluejay by the window
 

Now consider,

df3[df3['col'].str.contains('blue')]

                     col
0        the sky is blue
1  bluejay by the window

v/s

df3[df3['col'].str.contains(r'\bblue\b')]

               col
0  the sky is blue

Multiple Whole Word Search

Similar to the above, except we add a word boundary (\b) to the joined pattern.

p = r'\b(?:{})\b'.format('|'.join(map(re.escape, terms)))
df4[df4['col'].str.contains(p)]

       col
0  foo abc
3   baz 45

Where p looks like this,

p
# '\\b(?:foo|baz)\\b'

A Great Alternative: Use List Comprehensions!

Because you can! And you should! They are usually a little bit faster than string methods, because string methods are hard to vectorise and usually have loopy implementations.

Instead of,

df1[df1['col'].str.contains('foo', regex=False)]

Use the in operator inside a list comp,

df1[['foo' in x for x in df1['col']]]

       col
0  foo abc
1   foobar

Instead of,

regex_pattern = r'foo(?!$)'
df1[df1['col'].str.contains(regex_pattern)]

Use re.compile (to cache your regex) + Pattern.search inside a list comp,

p = re.compile(regex_pattern, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
df1[[bool(p.search(x)) for x in df1['col']]]

      col
1  foobar

If "col" has NaNs, then instead of

df1[df1['col'].str.contains(regex_pattern, na=False)]

Use,

def try_search(p, x):
    try:
        return bool(p.search(x))
    except TypeError:
        return False

p = re.compile(regex_pattern)
df1[[try_search(p, x) for x in df1['col']]]

      col
1  foobar
 

More Options for Partial String Matching: np.char.find, np.vectorize, DataFrame.query.

In addition to str.contains and list comprehensions, you can also use the following alternatives.

np.char.find
Supports substring searches (read: no regex) only.

df4[np.char.find(df4['col'].values.astype(str), 'foo') > -1]

          col
0     foo abc
1  foobar xyz

np.vectorize
This is a wrapper around a loop, but with lesser overhead than most pandas str methods.

f = np.vectorize(lambda haystack, needle: needle in haystack)
f(df1['col'], 'foo')
# array([ True,  True, False, False])

df1[f(df1['col'], 'foo')]

       col
0  foo abc
1   foobar

Regex solutions possible:

regex_pattern = r'foo(?!$)'
p = re.compile(regex_pattern)
f = np.vectorize(lambda x: pd.notna(x) and bool(p.search(x)))
df1[f(df1['col'])]

      col
1  foobar

DataFrame.query
Supports string methods through the python engine. This offers no visible performance benefits, but is nonetheless useful to know if you need to dynamically generate your queries.

df1.query('col.str.contains("foo")', engine='python')

      col
0     foo
1  foobar

More information on query and eval family of methods can be found at Dynamic Expression Evaluation in pandas using pd.eval().


Recommended Usage Precedence

  1. (First) str.contains, for its simplicity and ease handling NaNs and mixed data
  2. List comprehensions, for its performance (especially if your data is purely strings)
  3. np.vectorize
  4. (Last) df.query

Plot two graphs in same plot in R

You can also use par and plot on the same graph but different axis. Something as follows:

plot( x, y1, type="l", col="red" )
par(new=TRUE)
plot( x, y2, type="l", col="green" )

If you read in detail about par in R, you will be able to generate really interesting graphs. Another book to look at is Paul Murrel's R Graphics.

Can a main() method of class be invoked from another class in java

Sure. Here's a completely silly program that demonstrates calling main recursively.

public class main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; ++i)
        {
            if (args[i] != "")
            {
                args[i] = "";
                System.out.println((args.length - i) + " left");
                main(args);
            }
        }

    }
}

Pass Parameter to Gulp Task

I know I am late to answer this question but I would like to add something to answer of @Ethan, the highest voted and accepted answer.

We can use yargs to get the command line parameter and with that we can also add our own alias for some parameters like follow.

var args = require('yargs')
    .alias('r', 'release')
    .alias('d', 'develop')
    .default('release', false)
    .argv;

Kindly refer this link for more details. https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/HEAD/docs/api.md

Following is use of alias as per given in documentation of yargs. We can also find more yargs function there and can make the command line passing experience even better.

.alias(key, alias)

Set key names as equivalent such that updates to a key will propagate to aliases and vice-versa.

Optionally .alias() can take an object that maps keys to aliases. Each key of this object should be the canonical version of the option, and each value should be a string or an array of strings.

How can I put the current running linux process in background?

Suspend the process with CTRL+Z then use the command bg to resume it in background. For example:

sleep 60
^Z  #Suspend character shown after hitting CTRL+Z
[1]+  Stopped  sleep 60  #Message showing stopped process info
bg  #Resume current job (last job stopped)

More about job control and bg usage in bash manual page:

JOB CONTROL
Typing the suspend character (typically ^Z, Control-Z) while a process is running causes that process to be stopped and returns control to bash. [...] The user may then manipulate the state of this job, using the bg command to continue it in the background, [...]. A ^Z takes effect immediately, and has the additional side effect of causing pending output and typeahead to be discarded.

bg [jobspec ...]
Resume each suspended job jobspec in the background, as if it had been started with &. If jobspec is not present, the shell's notion of the current job is used.

EDIT

To start a process where you can even kill the terminal and it still carries on running

nohup [command] [-args] > [filename] 2>&1 &

e.g.

nohup /home/edheal/myprog -arg1 -arg2 > /home/edheal/output.txt 2>&1 &

To just ignore the output (not very wise) change the filename to /dev/null

To get the error message set to a different file change the &1 to a filename.

In addition: You can use the jobs command to see an indexed list of those backgrounded processes. And you can kill a backgrounded process by running kill %1 or kill %2 with the number being the index of the process.

GridView sorting: SortDirection always Ascending

I had a horrible problem with this so I finally resorted to using LINQ to order the DataTable before assigning it to the view:

Dim lquery = From s In listToMap
             Select s
             Order By s.ACCT_Active Descending, s.ACCT_Name

In particular I really found the DataView.Sort and DataGrid.Sort methods unreliable when sorting a boolean field.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Remove a symlink to a directory

If rm cannot remove a symlink, perhaps you need to look at the permissions on the directory that contains the symlink. To remove directory entries, you need write permission on the containing directory.

How do I change a tab background color when using TabLayout?

What finally worked for me is similar to what @????DJ suggested, but the tabBackground should be in the layout file and not inside the style, so it looks like:

res/layout/somefile.xml:

    ....
    app:tabBackground="@drawable/tab_color_selector"
    ...
    />

and the selector res/drawable/tab_color_selector.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/tab_background_selected" android:state_selected="true"/>

Flutter.io Android License Status Unknown

The right solution would be if you have android studio installed then

  1. open SDK manager
  2. under SDK tools uncheck hide obsolete packages at the bottom
  3. then you should see an option called Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)

enter image description here

  1. check it and apply and let the studio download the package
  2. once done run the command flutter doctor and it should now prompt you to run flutter doctor --android-licenses once you run the license command accept all licenses by hitting y and it should solve the problem

How does the JPA @SequenceGenerator annotation work

Even though this question is very old and I stumbled upon it for my own issues with JPA 2.0 and Oracle sequences.

Want to share my research on some of the things -

Relationship between @SequenceGenerator(allocationSize) of GenerationType.SEQUENCE and INCREMENT BY in database sequence definition

Make sure @SequenceGenerator(allocationSize) is set to same value as INCREMENT BY in Database sequence definition to avoid problems (the same applies to the initial value).

For example, if we define the sequence in database with a INCREMENT BY value of 20, set the allocationsize in SequenceGenerator also to 20. In this case the JPA will not make a call to database until it reaches the next 20 mark while it increments each value by 1 internally. This saves database calls to get the next sequence number each time. The side effect of this is - Whenever the application is redeployed or the server is restarted in between, it'll call database to get the next batch and you'll see jumps in the sequence values. Also we need to make sure the database definition and the application setting to be in-sync which may not be possible all the time as both of them are managed by different groups and you can quickly lose control of. If database value is less than the allocationsize, you'll see PrimaryKey constraint errors due to duplicate values of Id. If the database value is higher than the allocationsize, you'll see jumps in the values of Id.

If the database sequence INCREMENT BY is set to 1 (which is what DBAs generally do), set the allocationSize as also 1 so that they are in-sync but the JPA calls database to get next sequence number each time.

If you don't want the call to database each time, use GenerationType.IDENTITY strategy and have the @Id value set by database trigger. With GenerationType.IDENTITY as soon as we call em.persist the object is saved to DB and a value to id is assigned to the returned object so we don't have to do a em.merge or em.flush. (This may be JPA provider specific..Not sure)

Another important thing -

JPA 2.0 automatically runs ALTER SEQUENCE command to sync the allocationSize and INCREMENT BY in database sequence. As mostly we use a different Schema name(Application user name) rather than the actual Schema where the sequence exists and the application user name will not have ALTER SEQUENCE privileges, you might see the below warning in the logs -

000004c1 Runtime W CWWJP9991W: openjpa.Runtime: Warn: Unable to cache sequence values for sequence "RECORD_ID_SEQ". Your application does not have permission to run an ALTER SEQUENCE command. Ensure that it has the appropriate permission to run an ALTER SEQUENCE command.

As the JPA could not alter the sequence, JPA calls database everytime to get next sequence number irrespective of the value of @SequenceGenerator.allocationSize. This might be a unwanted consequence which we need to be aware of.

To let JPA not to run this command, set this value - in persistence.xml. This ensures that JPA will not try to run ALTER SEQUENCE command. It writes a different warning though -

00000094 Runtime W CWWJP9991W: openjpa.Runtime: Warn: The property "openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary=disableAlterSeqenceIncrementBy" is set to true. This means that the 'ALTER SEQUENCE...INCREMENT BY' SQL statement will not be executed for sequence "RECORD_ID_SEQ". OpenJPA executes this command to ensure that the sequence's INCREMENT BY value defined in the database matches the allocationSize which is defined in the entity's sequence. With this SQL statement disabled, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the entity's sequence definition matches the sequence defined in the database.

As noted in the warning, important here is we need to make sure @SequenceGenerator.allocationSize and INCREMENT BY in database sequence definition are in sync including the default value of @SequenceGenerator(allocationSize) which is 50. Otherwise it'll cause errors.

How to open up a form from another form in VB.NET?

You can also use showdialog

     dim mydialogbox as new aboutbox1
     aboutbox1.showdialog()

End Sub

Locking pattern for proper use of .NET MemoryCache

I've solved this issue by making use of the AddOrGetExisting method on the MemoryCache and the use of Lazy initialization.

Essentially, my code looks something like this:

static string GetCachedData(string key, DateTimeOffset offset)
{
    Lazy<String> lazyObject = new Lazy<String>(() => SomeHeavyAndExpensiveCalculationThatReturnsAString());
    var returnedLazyObject = MemoryCache.Default.AddOrGetExisting(key, lazyObject, offset); 
    if (returnedLazyObject == null)
       return lazyObject.Value;
    return ((Lazy<String>) returnedLazyObject).Value;
}

Worst case scenario here is that you create the same Lazy object twice. But that is pretty trivial. The use of AddOrGetExisting guarantees that you'll only ever get one instance of the Lazy object, and so you're also guaranteed to only call the expensive initialization method once.

How do I create a shortcut via command-line in Windows?

To create a shortcut for warp-cli.exe, I based rojo's Powershell command and added WorkingDirectory, Arguments, IconLocation and minimized WindowStyle attribute to it.

How can I select all rows with sqlalchemy?

I use the following snippet to view all the rows in a table. Use a query to find all the rows. The returned objects are the class instances. They can be used to view/edit the values as required:

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Sequence
from sqlalchemy import String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Column
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

Base = declarative_base()

class MyTable(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'MyTable'
    id = Column(Integer, Sequence('user_id_seq'), primary_key=True)
    some_col = Column(String(500))

    def __init__(self, some_col):
        self.some_col = some_col

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///sqllight.db', echo=True)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()

for class_instance in session.query(MyTable).all():
    print(vars(class_instance))

session.close()

Bootstrap: Open Another Modal in Modal

I went kind of a different route all together, I decided to "De-Nest" them. Maybe someone will find this handy...

var $m1 = $('#Modal1');
var $innermodal = $m1.find(".modal");     //get reference to nested modal
$m1.after($innermodal);                  // snatch it out of inner modal and put it after.

Delete terminal history in Linux

If you use bash, then the terminal history is saved in a file called .bash_history. Delete it, and history will be gone.

However, for MySQL the better approach is not to enter the password in the command line. If you just specify the -p option, without a value, then you will be prompted for the password and it won't be logged.

Another option, if you don't want to enter your password every time, is to store it in a my.cnf file. Create a file named ~/.my.cnf with something like:

[client]
user = <username>
password = <password>

Make sure to change the file permissions so that only you can read the file.

Of course, this way your password is still saved in a plaintext file in your home directory, just like it was previously saved in .bash_history.

How to check if an array element exists?

You can use the function array_key_exists to do that.

For example,

$a=array("a"=>"Dog","b"=>"Cat");
if (array_key_exists("a",$a))
  {
  echo "Key exists!";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Key does not exist!";
  }

Capturing browser logs with Selenium WebDriver using Java

Add cast RemoteWebDriver to driver initialize and you will have the .setLogLevel method:

import java.util.logging.Level;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class PrintLogTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Users/.../chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        //here
        ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).setLogLevel(Level.INFO);

        driver.get("https://google.com/");
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("automation test");
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Example output:

Pygame mouse clicking detection

I assume your game has a main loop, and all your sprites are in a list called sprites.

In your main loop, get all events, and check for the MOUSEBUTTONDOWN or MOUSEBUTTONUP event.

while ... # your main loop
  # get all events
  ev = pygame.event.get()

  # proceed events
  for event in ev:

    # handle MOUSEBUTTONUP
    if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
      pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()

      # get a list of all sprites that are under the mouse cursor
      clicked_sprites = [s for s in sprites if s.rect.collidepoint(pos)]
      # do something with the clicked sprites...

So basically you have to check for a click on a sprite yourself every iteration of the mainloop. You'll want to use mouse.get_pos() and rect.collidepoint().

Pygame does not offer event driven programming, as e.g. cocos2d does.

Another way would be to check the position of the mouse cursor and the state of the pressed buttons, but this approach has some issues.

if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and mysprite.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
  print ("You have opened a chest!")

You'll have to introduce some kind of flag if you handled this case, since otherwise this code will print "You have opened a chest!" every iteration of the main loop.

handled = False

while ... // your loop

  if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and mysprite.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()) and not handled:
    print ("You have opened a chest!")
    handled = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0]

Of course you can subclass Sprite and add a method called is_clicked like this:

class MySprite(Sprite):
  ...

  def is_clicked(self):
    return pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] and self.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos())

So, it's better to use the first approach IMHO.

Why does CSS not support negative padding?

Padding by definition is a positive integer (including 0).

Negative padding would cause the border to collapse into the content (see the box-model page on w3) - this would make the content area smaller than the content, which doesn't make sense.

if statement in ng-click

We can add ng-click event conditionally without using disabled class.

HTML:

  <input ng-click="profileForm.$valid && updateMyProfile()" name="submit" id="submit" value="Save" class="submit" type="submit">

Password must have at least one non-alpha character

A simple method will be like this:

Match match1 = Regex.Match(<input_string>, @"(?=.{7})");   

match1.Success ensures that there are at least 8 characters.

Match match2 = Regex.Match(<input_string>, [^a-zA-Z]);

match2.Success ensures that there is at least one special character or number within the string.

So, match1.Success && match2.Success guarantees will get what you want.

MySQL "NOT IN" query

To use IN, you must have a set, use this syntax instead:

SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Table1.principal NOT IN (SELECT principal FROM table2)

Linq Syntax - Selecting multiple columns

You can use anonymous types for example:

  var empData = from res in _db.EMPLOYEEs
                where res.EMAIL == givenInfo || res.USER_NAME == givenInfo
                select new { res.EMAIL, res.USER_NAME };

CSS background image URL failing to load

Source location should be the URL (relative to the css file or full web location), not a file system full path, for example:

background: url("http://localhost/media/css/static/img/sprites/buttons-v3-10.png");
background: url("static/img/sprites/buttons-v3-10.png");

Alternatively, you can try to use file:/// protocol prefix.

What is the difference between Sublime text and Github's Atom

Atom is still in beta (v0.123 as I'm writing this) but it's moving fast. Way faster than Sublime. New builds are released on a weekly basis, sometimes even few of them in the same week. In its short life span, it had more releases than Sublime which takes months to release a new feature or a bug fix. Here's an updated take on things looking back on the path Atom has taken since the launch of the beta:

  1. Sublime has better performance than Atom. Simply because it's written in C++. Atom on the other hand is a web based desktop app built on top of Chromium, and while they take performance close to heart, it will be really hard or even impossible to reach the same speed and responsiveness. Last July Atom began using React and it gave it a nice performance boost but you can still feel the difference. Apart from that, if Atom’s performance issues will not push users away - Sublime better speed up the release cycle, brush up its small UX tweaks, and consider letting in more contributors because this is where Atom is winning.

  2. Atom's package ecosystem is also growing really fast, it might not be as big as Sublime's at the moment but I have a feeling that with GitHub at it's back it will keep growing even faster. It probably has the majority of IDE like plug-ins you can think of. A major difference right now is that it can't handle files bigger than 2MB so it's something to keep in mind.

  3. The one thing you'll notice first is that the Sublime minimap is gone! Other than that, the first impression is that Atom looks almost the same as Sublime. I wrote a more in depth comparison about it in this blog post.

  4. No easy straightforward way to port your Sublime configurations, packages and such as far as I know.

How to loop through a directory recursively to delete files with certain extensions

As a followup to mouviciel's answer, you could also do this as a for loop, instead of using xargs. I often find xargs cumbersome, especially if I need to do something more complicated in each iteration.

for f in $(find /tmp -name '*.pdf' -or -name '*.doc'); do rm $f; done

As a number of people have commented, this will fail if there are spaces in filenames. You can work around this by temporarily setting the IFS (internal field seperator) to the newline character. This also fails if there are wildcard characters \[?* in the file names. You can work around that by temporarily disabling wildcard expansion (globbing).

IFS=$'\n'; set -f
for f in $(find /tmp -name '*.pdf' -or -name '*.doc'); do rm "$f"; done
unset IFS; set +f

If you have newlines in your filenames, then that won't work either. You're better off with an xargs based solution:

find /tmp \( -name '*.pdf' -or -name '*.doc' \) -print0 | xargs -0 rm

(The escaped brackets are required here to have the -print0 apply to both or clauses.)

GNU and *BSD find also has a -delete action, which would look like this:

find /tmp \( -name '*.pdf' -or -name '*.doc' \) -delete

How does System.out.print() work?

It is a very sensitive point to understand how to work System.out.print. If the first element is String then plus(+) operator works as String concate operator. If the first element is integer plus(+) operator works as mathematical operator.

public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println("String" + 8 + 8); //String88
    System.out.println(8 + 8+ "String"); //16String
}

LINQ extension methods - Any() vs. Where() vs. Exists()

Where returns a new sequence of items matching the predicate.

Any returns a Boolean value; there's a version with a predicate (in which case it returns whether or not any items match) and a version without (in which case it returns whether the query-so-far contains any items).

I'm not sure about Exists - it's not a LINQ standard query operator. If there's a version for the Entity Framework, perhaps it checks for existence based on a key - a sort of specialized form of Any? (There's an Exists method in List<T> which is similar to Any(predicate) but that predates LINQ.)

Getting "unixtime" in Java

Avoid the Date object creation w/ System.currentTimeMillis(). A divide by 1000 gets you to Unix epoch.

As mentioned in a comment, you typically want a primitive long (lower-case-l long) not a boxed object long (capital-L Long) for the unixTime variable's type.

long unixTime = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000L;

How to find item with max value using linq?

What is the difference between the operating system and the kernel?

The difference between an operating system and a kernel:

The kernel is a part of an operating system. The operating system is the software package that communicates directly to the hardware and our application. The kernel is the lowest level of the operating system. The kernel is the main part of the operating system and is responsible for translating the command into something that can be understood by the computer. The main functions of the kernel are:

  1. memory management
  2. network management
  3. device driver
  4. file management
  5. process management

How to read text files with ANSI encoding and non-English letters?

If I remember correctly the XmlDocument.Load(string) method always assumes UTF-8, regardless of the XML encoding. You would have to create a StreamReader with the correct encoding and use that as the parameter.

xmlDoc.Load(new StreamReader(
                     File.Open("file.xml"), 
                     Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-15"))); 

I just stumbled across KB308061 from Microsoft. There's an interesting passage: Specify the encoding declaration in the XML declaration section of the XML document. For example, the following declaration indicates that the document is in UTF-16 Unicode encoding format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

Note that this declaration only specifies the encoding format of an XML document and does not modify or control the actual encoding format of the data.

how to get request path with express req object

In some cases you should use:

req.path

This gives you the path, instead of the complete requested URL. For example, if you are only interested in which page the user requested and not all kinds of parameters the url:

/myurl.htm?allkinds&ofparameters=true

req.path will give you:

/myurl.html

move column in pandas dataframe

You can use pd.Index.difference with np.hstack, then reindex or use label-based indexing. In general, it's a good idea to avoid list comprehensions or other explicit loops with NumPy / Pandas objects.

cols_to_move = ['b', 'x']
new_cols = np.hstack((df.columns.difference(cols_to_move), cols_to_move))

# OPTION 1: reindex
df = df.reindex(columns=new_cols)

# OPTION 2: direct label-based indexing
df = df[new_cols]

# OPTION 3: loc label-based indexing
df = df.loc[:, new_cols]

print(df)

#    a  y  b   x
# 0  1 -1  2   3
# 1  2 -2  4   6
# 2  3 -3  6   9

two filters with predicates of form u -> exp1, list size 10000000, averaged over 100 runs: LongSummaryStatistics{count=100, sum=13315, min=117, average=133.150000, max=153}

If designing a form or database that will accept names from people with a variety of backgrounds, you should ask yourself whether you really need to have separate fields for given name and family name.

… Bear in mind that names in some cultures can be quite a lot longer than your own. … Avoid limiting the field size for names in your database. In particular, do not assume that a four-character Japanese name in UTF-8 will fit in four bytes – you are likely to actually need 12.

https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names

For database fields, VARCHAR(255) is a safe default choice, unless you can actually come up with a good reason to use something else. For typical web applications, performance won't be a problem. Don't prematurely optimize.

How to set 00:00:00 using moment.js

Moment.js stores dates it utc and can apply different timezones to it. By default it applies your local timezone. If you want to set time on utc date time you need to specify utc timezone.

Try the following code:

var m = moment().utcOffset(0);
m.set({hour:0,minute:0,second:0,millisecond:0})
m.toISOString()
m.format()

ToggleClass animate jQuery?

.toggleClass() will not animate, you should go for slideToggle() or .animate() method.

Javascript replace with reference to matched group?

For the replacement string and the replacement pattern as specified by $. here a resume:

enter image description here

link to doc : here

"hello _there_".replace(/_(.*?)_/g, "<div>$1</div>")



Note:

If you want to have a $ in the replacement string use $$. Same as with vscode snippet system.

How to get "their" changes in the middle of conflicting Git rebase?

You want to use:

git checkout --ours foo/bar.java
git add foo/bar.java

If you rebase a branch feature_x against main (i.e. running git rebase main while on branch feature_x), during rebasing ours refers to main and theirs to feature_x.

As pointed out in the git-rebase docs:

Note that a rebase merge works by replaying each commit from the working branch on top of the branch. Because of this, when a merge conflict happens, the side reported as ours is the so-far rebased series, starting with <upstream>, and theirs is the working branch. In other words, the sides are swapped.

How to write into a file in PHP?

It is easy to write file :

$fp = fopen('lidn.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, 'Cats chase mice');
fclose($fp);

Selecting data frame rows based on partial string match in a column

I notice that you mention a function %like% in your current approach. I don't know if that's a reference to the %like% from "data.table", but if it is, you can definitely use it as follows.

Note that the object does not have to be a data.table (but also remember that subsetting approaches for data.frames and data.tables are not identical):

library(data.table)
mtcars[rownames(mtcars) %like% "Merc", ]
iris[iris$Species %like% "osa", ]

If that is what you had, then perhaps you had just mixed up row and column positions for subsetting data.


If you don't want to load a package, you can try using grep() to search for the string you're matching. Here's an example with the mtcars dataset, where we are matching all rows where the row names includes "Merc":

mtcars[grep("Merc", rownames(mtcars)), ]
             mpg cyl  disp  hp drat   wt qsec vs am gear carb
# Merc 240D   24.4   4 146.7  62 3.69 3.19 20.0  1  0    4    2
# Merc 230    22.8   4 140.8  95 3.92 3.15 22.9  1  0    4    2
# Merc 280    19.2   6 167.6 123 3.92 3.44 18.3  1  0    4    4
# Merc 280C   17.8   6 167.6 123 3.92 3.44 18.9  1  0    4    4
# Merc 450SE  16.4   8 275.8 180 3.07 4.07 17.4  0  0    3    3
# Merc 450SL  17.3   8 275.8 180 3.07 3.73 17.6  0  0    3    3
# Merc 450SLC 15.2   8 275.8 180 3.07 3.78 18.0  0  0    3    3

And, another example, using the iris dataset searching for the string osa:

irisSubset <- iris[grep("osa", iris$Species), ]
head(irisSubset)
#   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
# 1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
# 4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
# 5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
# 6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

For your problem try:

selectedRows <- conservedData[grep("hsa-", conservedData$miRNA), ]

What is "runtime"?

Run time exactly where your code comes into life and you can see lot of important thing your code do.

Runtime has a responsibility of allocating memory , freeing memory , using operating system's sub system like (File Services, IO Services.. Network Services etc.)

Your code will be called "WORKING IN THEORY" until you practically run your code. and Runtime is a friend which helps in achiving this.

Get current value when change select option - Angular2

In angular 4, this worked for me

template.html

  <option *ngFor="let type of filterTypes" [value]="type.value">{{type.display}}
  </option>
</select>

component.ts

export class FilterComponent implements OnInit {

selectedFilter:string;
   public filterTypes = [
     { value: 'percentage', display: 'percentage' },
     { value: 'amount', display: 'amount' }
  ];

   constructor() { 
     this.selectedFilter = 'percentage';
   }

   filterChanged(selectedValue:string){
     console.log('value is ', selectedValue);
   }

  ngOnInit() {

}

Make A List Item Clickable (HTML/CSS)

I think you could use the following HTML and CSS combo instead:

<li>
  <a href="#">Backback</a>
</li>

Then use CSS background for the basket visibility on hover:

.listblock ul li a {
    padding: 5px 30px 5px 10px;
    display: block;
}

.listblock ul li a:hover {
    background: transparent url('../img/basket.png') no-repeat 3px 170px;
}

Simples!

How to hide command output in Bash

Use this.

{
  /your/first/command
  /your/second/command
} &> /dev/null

Explanation

To eliminate output from commands, you have two options:

  • Close the output descriptor file, which keeps it from accepting any more input. That looks like this:

    your_command "Is anybody listening?" >&-
    

    Usually, output goes either to file descriptor 1 (stdout) or 2 (stderr). If you close a file descriptor, you'll have to do so for every numbered descriptor, as &> (below) is a special BASH syntax incompatible with >&-:

    /your/first/command >&- 2>&-
    

    Be careful to note the order: >&- closes stdout, which is what you want to do; &>- redirects stdout and stderr to a file named - (hyphen), which is not what what you want to do. It'll look the same at first, but the latter creates a stray file in your working directory. It's easy to remember: >&2 redirects stdout to descriptor 2 (stderr), >&3 redirects stdout to descriptor 3, and >&- redirects stdout to a dead end (i.e. it closes stdout).

    Also beware that some commands may not handle a closed file descriptor particularly well ("write error: Bad file descriptor"), which is why the better solution may be to...

  • Redirect output to /dev/null, which accepts all output and does nothing with it. It looks like this:

    your_command "Hello?" > /dev/null
    

    For output redirection to a file, you can direct both stdout and stderr to the same place very concisely, but only in bash:

    /your/first/command &> /dev/null
    

Finally, to do the same for a number of commands at once, surround the whole thing in curly braces. Bash treats this as a group of commands, aggregating the output file descriptors so you can redirect all at once. If you're familiar instead with subshells using ( command1; command2; ) syntax, you'll find the braces behave almost exactly the same way, except that unless you involve them in a pipe the braces will not create a subshell and thus will allow you to set variables inside.

{
  /your/first/command
  /your/second/command
} &> /dev/null

See the bash manual on redirections for more details, options, and syntax.

differences in application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded

webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

  1. Where does application/x-www-form-urlencoded's name come from?

    If you send HTTP GET request, you can use query parameters as follows:

    http://example.com/path/to/page?name=ferret&color=purple

    The content of the fields is encoded as a query string. The application/x-www-form- urlencoded's name come from the previous url query parameter but the query parameters is in where the body of request instead of url.

    The whole form data is sent as a long query string.The query string contains name- value pairs separated by & character

    e.g. field1=value1&field2=value2

  2. It can be simple request called simple - don't trigger a preflight check

    Simple request must have some properties. You can look here for more info. One of them is that there are only three values allowed for Content-Type header for simple requests

    • application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    • multipart/form-data
    • text/plain

3.For mostly flat param trees, application/x-www-form-urlencoded is tried and tested.

request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";

  1. The data will be json format.

axios and superagent, two of the more popular npm HTTP libraries, work with JSON bodies by default.

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Foo",
  "price": 123,
  "tags": [
    "Bar",
    "Eek"
  ],
  "stock": {
    "warehouse": 300,
    "retail": 20
  }
}
  1. "application/json" Content-Type is one of the Preflighted requests.

Now, if the request isn't simple request, the browser automatically sends a HTTP request before the original one by OPTIONS method to check whether it is safe to send the original request. If itis ok, Then send actual request. You can look here for more info.

  1. application/json is beginner-friendly. URL encoded arrays can be a nightmare!

Script to get the HTTP status code of a list of urls?

Extending the answer already provided by Phil. Adding parallelism to it is a no brainer in bash if you use xargs for the call.

Here the code:

xargs -n1 -P 10 curl -o /dev/null --silent --head --write-out '%{url_effective}: %{http_code}\n' < url.lst

-n1: use just one value (from the list) as argument to the curl call

-P10: Keep 10 curl processes alive at any time (i.e. 10 parallel connections)

Check the write_out parameter in the manual of curl for more data you can extract using it (times, etc).

In case it helps someone this is the call I'm currently using:

xargs -n1 -P 10 curl -o /dev/null --silent --head --write-out '%{url_effective};%{http_code};%{time_total};%{time_namelookup};%{time_connect};%{size_download};%{speed_download}\n' < url.lst | tee results.csv

It just outputs a bunch of data into a csv file that can be imported into any office tool.

Structs data type in php?

You can use an array

$something = array(
   'key' => 'value',
   'key2' => 'value2'
);

or with standard object.

$something = new StdClass();

$something->key = 'value';
$something->key2 = 'value2';

Excluding Maven dependencies

Global exclusions look like they're being worked on, but until then...

From the Sonatype maven reference (bottom of the page):

Dependency management in a top-level POM is different from just defining a dependency on a widely shared parent POM. For starters, all dependencies are inherited. If mysql-connector-java were listed as a dependency of the top-level parent project, every single project in the hierarchy would have a reference to this dependency. Instead of adding in unnecessary dependencies, using dependencyManagement allows you to consolidate and centralize the management of dependency versions without adding dependencies which are inherited by all children. In other words, the dependencyManagement element is equivalent to an environment variable which allows you to declare a dependency anywhere below a project without specifying a version number.

As an example:

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
      <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
      <version>3.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
          <exclusion>
            <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
          <exclusion>
            <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

It doesn't make the code less verbose overall, but it does make it less verbose where it counts. If you still want it less verbose you can follow these tips also from the Sonatype reference.

What is the size of column of int(11) in mysql in bytes?

according to this book:

MySQL lets you specify a “width” for integer types, such as INT(11). This is meaningless for most applications: it does not restrict the legal range of values, but simply specifies the number of characters MySQL’s interactive tools will reserve for display purposes. For storage and computational purposes, INT(1) is identical to INT(20).

Unsigned values in C

Assign a int -1 to an unsigned: As -1 does not fit in the range [0...UINT_MAX], multiples of UINT_MAX+1 are added until the answer is in range. Evidently UINT_MAX is pow(2,32)-1 or 429496725 on OP's machine so a has the value of 4294967295.

    unsigned int a = -1;

The "%x", "%u" specifier expects a matching unsigned. Since these do not match, "If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined. If any argument is not the correct type for the corresponding conversion specification, the behavior is undefined." C11 §7.21.6.1 9. The printf specifier does not change b.

    printf("%x\n", b);  // UB
    printf("%u\n", b);  // UB

The "%d" specifier expects a matching int. Since these do not match, more UB.

    printf("%d\n", a);  // UB

Given undefined behavior, the conclusions are not supported.


both cases, the bytes are the same (ffffffff).

Even with the same bit pattern, different types may have different values. ffffffff as an unsigned has the value of 4294967295. As an int, depending signed integer encoding, it has the value of -1, -2147483647 or TBD. As a float it may be a NAN.

what is unsigned word for?

unsigned stores a whole number in the range [0 ... UINT_MAX]. It never has a negative value. If code needs a non-negative number, use unsigned. If code needs a counting number that may be +, - or 0, use int.


Update: to avoid a compiler warning about assigning a signed int to unsigned, use the below. This is an unsigned 1u being negated - which is well defined as above. The effect is the same as a -1, but conveys to the compiler direct intentions.

unsigned int a = -1u;

        sqlConn.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, sqlConn);
        SqlDataAdapter da=new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        da.Fill(dt);
        sqlConn.Close();
        return dt;
    }

How to convert (transliterate) a string from utf8 to ASCII (single byte) in c#?

This was in response to your other question, that looks like it's been deleted....the point still stands.

Looks like a classic Unicode to ASCII issue. The trick would be to find where it's happening.

.NET works fine with Unicode, assuming it's told it's Unicode to begin with (or left at the default).

My guess is that your receiving app can't handle it. So, I'd probably use the ASCIIEncoder with an EncoderReplacementFallback with String.Empty:

using System.Text;

string inputString = GetInput();
var encoder = ASCIIEncoding.GetEncoder();
encoder.Fallback = new EncoderReplacementFallback(string.Empty);

byte[] bAsciiString = encoder.GetBytes(inputString);

// Do something with bytes...
// can write to a file as is
File.WriteAllBytes(FILE_NAME, bAsciiString);
// or turn back into a "clean" string
string cleanString = ASCIIEncoding.GetString(bAsciiString); 
// since the offending bytes have been removed, can use default encoding as well
Assert.AreEqual(cleanString, Default.GetString(bAsciiString));

Of course, in the old days, we'd just loop though and remove any chars greater than 127...well, those of us in the US at least. ;)

JavaScript - Get minutes between two dates

The following code worked for me,

function timeDiffCalc(dateNow,dateFuture) {
    var newYear1 = new Date(dateNow);
    var newYear2 = new Date(dateFuture);

        var dif = (newYear2 - newYear1);
        var dif = Math.round((dif/1000)/60);
        console.log(dif);

}

Preventing an image from being draggable or selectable without using JS

I've been forgetting to share my solution, I couldn't find a way to do this without using JS. There are some corner cases where @Jeffery A Wooden's suggested CSS just wont cover.

This is what I apply to all of my UI containers, no need to apply to each element since it recuses on all the child elements.

CSS:

.unselectable {
    /* For Opera and <= IE9, we need to add unselectable="on" attribute onto each element */
    /* Check this site for more details: http://help.dottoro.com/lhwdpnva.php */
    -moz-user-select: none; /* These user-select properties are inheritable, used to prevent text selection */
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none; /* From IE10 only */
    user-select: none; /* Not valid CSS yet, as of July 2012 */

    -webkit-user-drag: none; /* Prevents dragging of images/divs etc */
    user-drag: none;
}

JS:

var makeUnselectable = function( $target ) {
    $target
        .addClass( 'unselectable' ) // All these attributes are inheritable
        .attr( 'unselectable', 'on' ) // For IE9 - This property is not inherited, needs to be placed onto everything
        .attr( 'draggable', 'false' ) // For moz and webkit, although Firefox 16 ignores this when -moz-user-select: none; is set, it's like these properties are mutually exclusive, seems to be a bug.
        .on( 'dragstart', function() { return false; } );  // Needed since Firefox 16 seems to ingore the 'draggable' attribute we just applied above when '-moz-user-select: none' is applied to the CSS 

    $target // Apply non-inheritable properties to the child elements
        .find( '*' )
        .attr( 'draggable', 'false' )
        .attr( 'unselectable', 'on' ); 
};

This was way more complicated than it needed to be.

Windows equivalent of 'touch' (i.e. the node.js way to create an index.html)

For a very simple version of touch which would be mostly used to create a 0 byte file in the current directory, an alternative would be creating a touch.bat file and either adding it to the %Path% or copying it to the C:\Windows\System32 directory, like so:

touch.bat

@echo off
powershell New-Item %* -ItemType file

Creating a single file

C:\Users\YourName\Desktop>touch a.txt

    Directory: C:\Users\YourName\Desktop

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                 -------------         ------ ----
-a----        2020-10-14  10:28 PM              0 a.txt

Creating multiple files

C:\Users\YourName\Desktop>touch "b.txt,c.txt"

    Directory: C:\Users\YourName\Desktop

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                 -------------         ------ ----
-a----        2020-10-14  10:52 PM              0 b.txt
-a----        2020-10-14  10:52 PM              0 c.txt

Also

  • Works both with PowerShell and the Command Prompt.
  • Works with existing subdirectories.
  • Does not create a file if it already exists:
New-Item : The file 'C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\a.txt' already exists.
  • For multiple files, creates only the files that do not exist.
    • Accepts a comma-separated list of filenames without spaces or enclosed in quotes if spaces are necessary:
C:\Users\YourName\Desktop>touch d.txt,e.txt,f.txt
C:\Users\YourName\Desktop>touch "g.txt, 'name with spaces.txt'"

.NET obfuscation tools/strategy

Here's a document from Microsoft themselves. Hope that helps..., it's from 2003, but it might still be relevant.

What's the difference between HTML 'hidden' and 'aria-hidden' attributes?

A hidden attribute is a boolean attribute (True/False). When this attribute is used on an element, it removes all relevance to that element. When a user views the html page, elements with the hidden attribute should not be visible.

Example:

    <p hidden>You can't see this</p>

Aria-hidden attributes indicate that the element and ALL of its descendants are still visible in the browser, but will be invisible to accessibility tools, such as screen readers.

Example:

    <p aria-hidden="true">You can't see this</p>

Take a look at this. It should answer all your questions.

Note: ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications

How do I configure PyCharm to run py.test tests?

Here is how I made it work with pytest 3.7.2 (installed via pip) and pycharms 2017.3:

  1. Go to edit configurations

  1. Add a new run config and select py.test

  1. In the run config details, you need to set target=python and the unnamed field below to tests. It looks like this is the name of your test folder. Not too sure tough. I also recommend the -s argument so that if you debug your tests, the console will behave properly. Without the argument pytest captures the output and makes the debug console buggy.

  1. My tests folder looks like that. This is just below the root of my project (my_project/tests).

  1. My foobar_test.py file: (no imports needed):
def test_foobar():
    print("hello pytest")
    assert True
  1. Run it with the normal run command

creating Hashmap from a JSON String

Best way to parse Json to HashMap

public static HashMap<String, String> jsonToMap(JSONObject json) throws JSONException {
            HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
            try {
                Iterator<String> iterator = json.keys();

                while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                    String key = iterator.next();
                    String value = json.getString(key);
                    map.put(key, value);
                }

                return map;
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }

Force decimal point instead of comma in HTML5 number input (client-side)

As far as I understand it, the HTML5 input type="number always returns input.value as a string.

Apparently, input.valueAsNumber returns the current value as a floating point number. You could use this to return a value you want.

ActionBarCompat: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat

I encountered this error when I was trying to create a DialogBox when some action is taken inside the CustomAdapter class. This was not an Activity but an Adapter class. After 36 hrs of efforts and looking up for solutions, I came up with this.

Send the Activity as a parameter while calling the CustomAdapter.

CustomAdapter ca = new CustomAdapter(MyActivity.this,getApplicationContext(),records);

Define the variables in the custom Adapter.

Activity parentActivity;
Context context;

Call the constructor like this.

public CustomAdapter(Activity parentActivity,Context context,List<Record> records){
    this.parentActivity=parentActivity;
    this.context=context;
    this.records=records;
}

And finally when creating the dialog box inside the adapter class, do it like this.

AlertDialog ad = new AlertDialog.Builder(parentActivity).setTitle("Your title");

and so on..

I hope this helps you

Excel data validation with suggestions/autocomplete

I adapted the answer by ChrisB. Like in his example a temporary combobox is made visible when a cell is clicked. Additionally:

  1. List of Combobox items is updated as user types, only matching items are displayed
  2. if any item from combobox is selected, filtering is skipped as it makes sense and because of this error

Notes:

  1. ComboBoxe's MatchEntry must be set to 2 - fmMatchEntryNone. Don't forget to set ComboBox name to TempCombo
  2. I am using listFillRange to set ComboBox options. The range must be continuous, so, matching items are stored in a help column.
  3. I have tried accomplishing the same with ComboBox.addItem, but it turned out to be hard to repaint list box as user types

Values of disabled inputs will not be submitted

Disabled controls cannot be successful, and a successful control is "valid" for submission. This is the reason why disabled controls don't submit with the form.

Forward host port to docker container

As stated in one of the comments, this works for Mac (probably for Windows/Linux too):

I WANT TO CONNECT FROM A CONTAINER TO A SERVICE ON THE HOST

The host has a changing IP address (or none if you have no network access). We recommend that you connect to the special DNS name host.docker.internal which resolves to the internal IP address used by the host. This is for development purpose and will not work in a production environment outside of Docker Desktop for Mac.

You can also reach the gateway using gateway.docker.internal.

Quoted from https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking/

This worked for me without using --net=host.

nodejs send html file to client

After years, I want to add another approach by using a view engine in Express.js

var fs = require('fs');

app.get('/test', function(req, res, next) {
    var html = fs.readFileSync('./html/test.html', 'utf8')
    res.render('test', { html: html })
    // or res.send(html)
})

Then, do that in your views/test if you choose res.render method at the above code (I'm writing in EJS format):

<%- locals.html %>

That's all.

In this way, you don't need to break your View Engine arrangements.

Finding non-numeric rows in dataframe in pandas?

Sorry about the confusion, this should be the correct approach. Do you want only to capture 'bad' only, not things like 'good'; Or just any non-numerical values?

In[15]:
np.where(np.any(np.isnan(df.convert_objects(convert_numeric=True)), axis=1))
Out[15]:
(array([3]),)

need to add a class to an element

You probably need something like:

result.className = 'red'; 

In pure JavaScript you should use className to deal with classes. jQuery has an abstraction called addClass for it.

How to Determine the Screen Height and Width in Flutter

Just declare a function

To call it (from main):

mJSONParser = new JSONParser();

INNER JOIN ON vs WHERE clause

If you are often programming dynamic stored procedures, you will fall in love with your second example (using where). If you have various input parameters and lots of morph mess, then that is the only way. Otherwise, they both will run the same query plan so there is definitely no obvious difference in classic queries.

What is the string length of a GUID?

Binary strings store raw-byte data, whilst character strings store text. Use binary data when storing hexi-decimal values such as SID, GUID and so on. The uniqueidentifier data type contains a globally unique identifier, or GUID. This value is derived by using the NEWID() function to return a value that is unique to all objects. It's stored as a binary value but it is displayed as a character string.

Here is an example.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
CREATE TABLE MyCcustomerTable
(
    user_login   varbinary(85) DEFAULT SUSER_SID()
    ,data_value   varbinary(1)
);
GO

INSERT MyCustomerTable (data_value)
    VALUES (0x4F);
GO

Applies to: SQL Server The following example creates the cust table with a uniqueidentifier data type, and uses NEWID to fill the table with a default value. In assigning the default value of NEWID(), each new and existing row has a unique value for the CustomerID column.

-- Creating a table using NEWID for uniqueidentifier data type.  
CREATE TABLE cust  
(  
 CustomerID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL  
   DEFAULT newid(),

How to get the nth occurrence in a string?

Working off of kennebec's answer, I created a prototype function which will return -1 if the nth occurence is not found rather than 0.

String.prototype.nthIndexOf = function(pattern, n) {
    var i = -1;

    while (n-- && i++ < this.length) {
        i = this.indexOf(pattern, i);
        if (i < 0) break;
    }

    return i;
}

How to show DatePickerDialog on Button click?

it works for me. if you want to enable future time for choose, you have to delete maximum date. You need to to do like followings.

How to manage exceptions thrown in filters in Spring?

You can use the following method inside the catch block:

response.sendError(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED.value(), "Invalid token")

Notice that you can use any HttpStatus code and a custom message.

HTTP Ajax Request via HTTPS Page

Without any server side solution, Theres is only one way in which a secure page can get something from a insecure page/request and that's thought postMessage and a popup

I said popup cuz the site isn't allowed to mix content. But a popup isn't really mixing. It has it's own window but are still able to communicate with the opener with postMessage.

So you can open a new http-page with window.open(...) and have that making the request for you (that is if the site is using CORS as well)


XDomain came to mind when i wrote this but here is a modern approach using the new fetch api, the advantage is the streaming of large files, the downside is that it won't work in all browser

You put this proxy script on any http page

onmessage = evt => {
  const port = evt.ports[0]

  fetch(...evt.data).then(res => {
    // the response is not clonable
    // so we make a new plain object
    const obj = {
      bodyUsed: false,
      headers: [...res.headers],
      ok: res.ok,
      redirected: res.redurected,
      status: res.status,
      statusText: res.statusText,
      type: res.type,
      url: res.url
    }

    port.postMessage(obj)

    // Pipe the request to the port (MessageChannel)
    const reader = res.body.getReader()
    const pump = () => reader.read()
    .then(({value, done}) => done 
      ? port.postMessage(done)
      : (port.postMessage(value), pump())
    )

    // start the pipe
    pump()
  })
}

Then you open a popup window in your https page (note that you can only do this on a user interaction event or else it will be blocked)

window.popup = window.open(http://.../proxy.html)

create your utility function

function xfetch(...args) {
  // tell the proxy to make the request
  const ms = new MessageChannel
  popup.postMessage(args, '*', [ms.port1])

  // Resolves when the headers comes
  return new Promise((rs, rj) => {

    // First message will resolve the Response Object
    ms.port2.onmessage = ({data}) => {
      const stream = new ReadableStream({
        start(controller) {

          // Change the onmessage to pipe the remaning request
          ms.port2.onmessage = evt => {
            if (evt.data === true) // Done?
              controller.close()
            else // enqueue the buffer to the stream
              controller.enqueue(evt.data)
          }
        }
      })

      // Construct a new response with the 
      // response headers and a stream
      rs(new Response(stream, data))
    }
  })
}

And make the request like you normally do with the fetch api

xfetch('http://httpbin.org/get')
  .then(res => res.text())
  .then(console.log)

Change value of input onchange?

You can't access your fieldname as a global variable. Use document.getElementById:

function updateInput(ish){
    document.getElementById("fieldname").value = ish;
}

and

onchange="updateInput(this.value)"

How do I close a single buffer (out of many) in Vim?

Those using a buffer or tree navigation plugin, like Buffergator or NERDTree, will need to toggle these splits before destroying the current buffer - else you'll send your splits into wonkyville

I use:

Best data type for storing currency values in a MySQL database

Assaf's response of

Depends on how much money you got...

sounds flippant, but actually it's pertinant.

Only today we had an issue where a record failed to be inserted into our Rate table, because one of the columns (GrossRate) is set to Decimal (11,4), and our Product department just got a contract for rooms in some amazing resort in Bora Bora, that sell for several million Pacific Francs per night... something that was never anticpated when the database schema was designed 10 years ago.

jQuery DIV click, with anchors

I know that if you were to change that to an href you'd do:

$("a#link1").click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  $('div.link1').show();
  //whatever else you want to do
});

so if you want to keep it with the div, I'd try

$("div.clickable").click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  window.location = $(this).attr("url");
});

"Integer number too large" error message for 600851475143

Or, you can declare input number as long, and then let it do the code tango :D ...

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter a number");
    long n = in.nextLong();

    for (long i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        while (n % i == 0) {
            System.out.print(", " + i);
            n /= i;
        }
    }

Using varchar(MAX) vs TEXT on SQL Server

  • Basic Definition

TEXT and VarChar(MAX) are Non-Unicode large Variable Length character data type, which can store maximum of 2147483647 Non-Unicode characters (i.e. maximum storage capacity is: 2GB).

  • Which one to Use?

As per MSDN link Microsoft is suggesting to avoid using the Text datatype and it will be removed in a future versions of Sql Server. Varchar(Max) is the suggested data type for storing the large string values instead of Text data type.

  • In-Row or Out-of-Row Storage

Data of a Text type column is stored out-of-row in a separate LOB data pages. The row in the table data page will only have a 16 byte pointer to the LOB data page where the actual data is present. While Data of a Varchar(max) type column is stored in-row if it is less than or equal to 8000 byte. If Varchar(max) column value is crossing the 8000 bytes then the Varchar(max) column value is stored in a separate LOB data pages and row will only have a 16 byte pointer to the LOB data page where the actual data is present. So In-Row Varchar(Max) is good for searches and retrieval.

  • Supported/Unsupported Functionalities

Some of the string functions, operators or the constructs which doesn’t work on the Text type column, but they do work on VarChar(Max) type column.

  1. = Equal to Operator on VarChar(Max) type column
  2. Group by clause on VarChar(Max) type column

    • System IO Considerations

As we know that the VarChar(Max) type column values are stored out-of-row only if the length of the value to be stored in it is greater than 8000 bytes or there is not enough space in the row, otherwise it will store it in-row. So if most of the values stored in the VarChar(Max) column are large and stored out-of-row, the data retrieval behavior will almost similar to the one that of the Text type column.

But if most of the values stored in VarChar(Max) type columns are small enough to store in-row. Then retrieval of the data where LOB columns are not included requires the more number of data pages to read as the LOB column value is stored in-row in the same data page where the non-LOB column values are stored. But if the select query includes LOB column then it requires less number of pages to read for the data retrieval compared to the Text type columns.

Conclusion

Use VarChar(MAX) data type rather than TEXT for good performance.

Installing lxml module in python

For RHEL/CentOS, run "python --version" command to find out Python version. E.g. below:

$ python --version 
  Python 2.7.12

Now run "sudo yum search lxml" to find out python*-lxml package.

$ sudo yum search lxml

How to open local file on Jupyter?

I would suggest you to test it firstly: copy this train.csv to the same directory as this jupyter script in and then change the path to train.csv to test whether this can be loaded successfully.

If yes, that means the previous path input is a problem

If not, that means the file it self denied your access to it, or its real filename can be something else like: train.csv.<hidden extension>

What is this date format? 2011-08-12T20:17:46.384Z

This technique translates java.util.Date to UTC format (or any other) and back again.

Define a class like so:

import java.util.Date;

import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class UtcUtility {

public static DateTimeFormatter UTC = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'").withZoneUTC();


public static Date parse(DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter, String date) {
    return dateTimeFormatter.parseDateTime(date).toDate();
}

public static String format(DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter, Date date) {
    return format(dateTimeFormatter, date.getTime());
}

private static String format(DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter, long timeInMillis) {
    DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(timeInMillis);
    String formattedString = dateTimeFormatter.print(dateTime);
    return formattedString;
}

}

Then use it like this:

Date date = format(UTC, "2020-04-19T00:30:07.000Z")

or

String date = parse(UTC, new Date())

You can also define other date formats if you require (not just UTC)

SQL Server: the maximum number of rows in table

It's hard to give a generic answer to this. It really depends on number of factors:

  • what size your row is
  • what kind of data you store (strings, blobs, numbers)
  • what do you do with your data (just keep it as archive, query it regularly)
  • do you have indexes on your table - how many
  • what's your server specs

etc.

As answered elsewhere here, 100,000 a day and thus per table is overkill - I'd suggest monthly or weekly perhaps even quarterly. The more tables you have the bigger maintenance/query nightmare it will become.

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) after Installation

This is the easiest solution and worked for me.

  • Go to where you downloaded "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.19.0.msi", file for installing mysql.
  • Run this by double clicking on it. (No need to uninstall anything)
  • Click on "reconfigure" beside the MySql server.
  • Agree everything which comes in middle, provide password for root where asked.
  • Finish. That's it you're good to go.

Get Return Value from Stored procedure in asp.net

You need a parameter with Direction set to ParameterDirection.ReturnValue in code but no need to add an extra parameter in SP. Try this

  SqlParameter returnParameter = cmd.Parameters.Add("RetVal", SqlDbType.Int);
  returnParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

  int id = (int) returnParameter.Value;

Npm Please try using this command again as root/administrator

I don't know which steps worked for me. But these are my steps to get rid of this error:

  1. Updated Node.js
  2. Ran npm cache clean command in Command prompt ( With some element of doubt for cache presence)
  3. Ran react-native init in command prompt as Administrator (on Windows OS), hoping works well with sudo react-native init on Mac OS

The above commands will output information regardless of whether WiFi is actually connected at the time.

Use either of the following to check whether wlan0 is on or not:

ifconfig wlan0

netcfg | awk '{if ($2=="UP" && $3 != "0.0.0.0/0") isup=1} END {if (! isup) exit 1}'

Use either of the following to get the IP address of wlan0 (only if it is connected):

ifconfig wlan0 | awk '{print $3}'

netcfg | awk '/^wlan0/ {sub("(0\\.0\\.0\\.0)?/[0-9]*$", "", $3); print $3}'

Just for thoroughness, to get your public Internet-facing IP address, you're going to want to use an external service. To obtain your public IP:

wget -qO- 'http://ipecho.net/plain'

To obtain your public hostname:

wget -qO- 'http://ifconfig.me/host'

Or to obtain your public hostname directly from your IP address:

(nslookup "$(wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain)" | awk '/^Address 1: / { if ($NF != "0.0.0.0") {print $NF; exit}}; /name =/ {sub("\\.$", "", $NF); print $NF; exit}') 2>/dev/null

Note: The aforementioned awk command seems overly complicated only because is able to handle output from various versions of nslookup. Android includes a minimal version of nslookup as part of busybox but there is a standalone version as well (often included in dnsutils).

MySQL > Table doesn't exist. But it does (or it should)

Just in case anyone still cares:

I had the same issue after copying a database directory directly using command

cp -r /path/to/my/database /var/lib/mysql/new_database

If you do this with a database that uses InnoDB tables, you will get this crazy 'table does not exist' error mentioned above.

The issue is that you need the ib* files in the root of the MySQL datadir (e.g. ibdata1, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1).

When I copied those it worked for me.

Is the NOLOCK (Sql Server hint) bad practice?

NOLOCK is often exploited as a magic way to speed up database reads, but I try to avoid using it whever possible.

The result set can contain rows that have not yet been committed, that are often later rolled back.

An error or Result set can be empty, be missing rows or display the same row multiple times.

This is because other transactions are moving data at the same time you're reading it.

READ COMMITTED adds an additional issue where data is corrupted within a single column where multiple users change the same cell simultaneously.

How to clear exisiting dropdownlist items when its content changes?

You should clear out your listbbox prior to binding:

SQL use CASE statement in WHERE IN clause

No you can't use case and in like this. But you can do

SELECT * FROM Product P    
WHERE @Status='published' and P.Status IN (1,3)
or @Status='standby' and P.Status IN  (2,5,9,6)
or @Status='deleted' and P.Status IN (4,5,8,10)
or P.Status IN (1,3)

BTW you can reduce that to

SELECT * FROM Product P    
WHERE @Status='standby' and P.Status IN (2,5,9,6)
or @Status='deleted' and P.Status IN (4,5,8,10)
or P.Status IN (1,3)

since or P.Status IN (1,3) gives you also all records of @Status='published' and P.Status IN (1,3)

Synchronizing a local Git repository with a remote one

You can use git hooks for that. Just create a hook that pushes changed to the other repo after an update.

Of course you might get merge conflicts so you have to figure how to deal with them.

How to change the default background color white to something else in twitter bootstrap

The colors changed due to the order of CSS files.

Place the custom CSS under the bootstrap CSS.

How to randomize two ArrayLists in the same fashion?

You could do this with maps:

Map<String, String> fileToImg:
List<String> fileList = new ArrayList(fileToImg.keySet());
Collections.shuffle(fileList);
for(String item: fileList) {
    fileToImf.get(item);
}

This will iterate through the images in the random order.

How to convert a PNG image to a SVG?

potrace does not support PNG as input file, but PNM.
Therefore, first convert from PNG to PNM:

convert file.png file.pnm        # PNG to PNM
potrace file.pnm -s -o file.svg  # PNM to SVG

Explain options

  • potrace -s => Output file is SVG
  • potrace -o file.svg => Write output to file.svg

Example

Input file = 2017.png Input file

convert 2017.png 2017.pnm

Temporary file = 2017.pnm

potrace 2017.pnm -s -o 2017.svg

Output file = 2017.svg Output file

Script

ykarikos proposes a script png2svg.sh that I have improved:

#!/bin/bash

File_png="${1?:Usage: $0 file.png}"

if [[ ! -s "$File_png" ]]; then
  echo >&2 "The first argument ($File_png)"
  echo >&2 "must be a file having a size greater than zero"
  ( set -x ; ls -s "$File_png" )
  exit 1
fi

File="${File_png%.*}"

convert "$File_png" "$File.pnm"        # PNG to PNM
potrace "$File.pnm" -s -o "$File.svg"  # PNM to SVG
rm "$File.pnm"                         # Remove PNM

One-line command

If you want to convert many files, you can also use the following one-line command:

( set -x ; for f_png in *.png ; do f="${f_png%.png}" ; convert "$f_png" "$f.pnm" && potrace "$f.pnm" -s -o "$f.svg" ; done )

ASP.NET MVC3 Razor - Html.ActionLink style

Here's the signature.

public static string ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, 
                                string linkText,
                                string actionName,
                                string controllerName,
                                object values, 
                                object htmlAttributes)

What you are doing is mixing the values and the htmlAttributes together. values are for URL routing.

You might want to do this.

@Html.ActionLink(Context.User.Identity.Name, "Index", "Account", null, 
     new { @style="text-transform:capitalize;" });

Sqlite: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is in GMT, not the timezone of the machine

You should, as a rule, leave timestamps in the database in GMT, and only convert them to/from local time on input/output, when you can convert them to the user's (not server's) local timestamp.

It would be nice if you could do the following:

SELECT DATETIME(col, 'PDT')

...to output the timestamp for a user on Pacific Daylight Time. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. According to this SQLite tutorial, however (scroll down to "Other Date and Time Commands"), you can ask for the time, and then apply an offset (in hours) at the same time. So, if you do know the user's timezone offset, you're good.

Doesn't deal with daylight saving rules, though...

Turn on torch/flash on iPhone

iWasRobbed's answer is great, except there is an AVCaptureSession running in the background all the time. On my iPhone 4s it takes about 12% CPU power according to Instrument so my app took about 1% battery in a minute. In other words if the device is prepared for AV capture it's not cheap.

Using the code below my app requires 0.187% a minute so the battery life is more than 5x longer.

This code works just fine on any device (tested on both 3GS (no flash) and 4s). Tested on 4.3 in simulator as well.

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

- (void) turnTorchOn:(BOOL)on {

    Class captureDeviceClass = NSClassFromString(@"AVCaptureDevice");
    if (captureDeviceClass != nil) {
        AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
        if ([device hasTorch] && [device hasFlash]){

            [device lockForConfiguration:nil];
            if (on) {
                [device setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOn];
                [device setFlashMode:AVCaptureFlashModeOn];
                torchIsOn = YES;
            } else {
                [device setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOff];
                [device setFlashMode:AVCaptureFlashModeOff];
                torchIsOn = NO;            
            }
            [device unlockForConfiguration];
        }
    }
}

Eclipse - no Java (JRE) / (JDK) ... no virtual machine

Don't worry i was also ruined by this error and fatal and when i got it i was so frustrate even i was giving to leave an android programming, but i got it, Simply first of all copy this code and paste in your system variable Under path ...

C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

Now copy the "jre" folder from your path like i have have "jre" under this path

            C:\Program Files\Java

and paste it in your eclipse folder means where your eclipse.exe file is placed. like i have my eclipse set up in this location

    F:\Softwares\LANGUAGES SOFTEARE\Android Setup\eclipse

So inside the eclipse Folder paste the "jre" FOLDER . If you have "jre6" then rename it as "jre"....and run your eclipse you will got the solution...

   //<<<<<<<<<<<<<<----------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>                 

OTHER SOLUTION: 2

If the problem could't solve with the above steps, then follow these steps

  1. Copy the folder "jre" from your Java path like C:\Program Files\Java\jre6* etc, and paste it in your eclipse directory(Where is your eclipse available)
  2. Go to eclipse.ini file , open it up.
  3. Change the directory of your javaw.exe file like

-vmF:\Softwares\LANGUAGES SOFTEARE\Android Setup\eclipse Indigo version 32 Bit\jre\bin/javaw.exe

Now this time when you will start eclipse it will search for javaw.exe, so it will search the path in the eclipse.ini, as it is now in the same folder so, it will start the javaw.exe and it will start working.

Download large file in python with requests

Not exactly what OP was asking, but... it's ridiculously easy to do that with urllib:

from urllib.request import urlretrieve
url = 'http://mirror.pnl.gov/releases/16.04.2/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso'
dst = 'ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso'
urlretrieve(url, dst)

Or this way, if you want to save it to a temporary file:

from urllib.request import urlopen
from shutil import copyfileobj
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile
url = 'http://mirror.pnl.gov/releases/16.04.2/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso'
with urlopen(url) as fsrc, NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) as fdst:
    copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst)

I watched the process:

watch 'ps -p 18647 -o pid,ppid,pmem,rsz,vsz,comm,args; ls -al *.iso'

And I saw the file growing, but memory usage stayed at 17 MB. Am I missing something?

Razor View Without Layout

I think this :

I use the second and it's working, no _Viewstart included.

How to delete the top 1000 rows from a table using Sql Server 2008?

It is fast. Try it:

DELETE FROM YourTABLE
FROM (SELECT TOP XX PK FROM YourTABLE) tbl
WHERE YourTABLE.PK = tbl.PK

Replace YourTABLE by table name, XX by a number, for example 1000, pk is the name of the primary key field of your table.

how to declare global variable in SQL Server..?

In that particular example, the error it's because of the GO after the use statements. The GO statements resets the environment, so no user variables exists. They must be declared again. And the answer to the global variables question is No, does not exists global variables at least Sql server versions equal or prior to 2008. I cannot assure the same for newer sql server versions.

Multiprocessing: How to use Pool.map on a function defined in a class?

You can run your code without any issues if you somehow manually ignore the Pool object from the list of objects in the class because it is not pickleable as the error says. You can do this with the __getstate__ function (look here too) as follow. The Pool object will try to find the __getstate__ and __setstate__ functions and execute them if it finds it when you run map, map_async etc:

class calculate(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.p = Pool()
    def __getstate__(self):
        self_dict = self.__dict__.copy()
        del self_dict['p']
        return self_dict
    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.__dict__.update(state)

    def f(self, x):
        return x*x
    def run(self):
        return self.p.map(self.f, [1,2,3])

Then do:

cl = calculate()
cl.run()

will give you the output:

[1, 4, 9]

I've tested the above code in Python 3.x and it works.

Visual studio - getting error "Metadata file 'XYZ' could not be found" after edit continue

Ensure that there are no spaces in the path to your project...

I am using Windows 10 with Visual Studio Community 2019 and I was cloning a multi project solution as it was from a GIT repo. I was having this error with all other dependencies in the solution along with a E_POINTER error. Its path, inherited from GIT, had spaces like C:/repos/MY PROJECT NAME/ ...

I deleted it, cloned it again and make sure that its path contained no spaces like C:/repos/MY_PROJECT_NAME/ ...

That fixed my problem.

How to read a PEM RSA private key from .NET

I've created the PemUtils library that does exactly that. The code is available on GitHub and can be installed from NuGet:

PM> Install-Package PemUtils

or if you only want a DER converter:

PM> Install-Package DerConverter

Usage for reading a RSA key from PEM data:

using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
using (var reader = new PemReader(stream))
{
    var rsaParameters = reader.ReadRsaKey();
    // ...
}

Prevent row names to be written to file when using write.csv

For completeness, write_csv() from the readr package is faster and never writes row names

# install.packages('readr', dependencies = TRUE)
library(readr)
write_csv(t, "t.csv")

If you need to write big data out, use fwrite() from the data.table package. It's much faster than both write.csv and write_csv

# install.packages('data.table')
library(data.table)
fwrite(t, "t.csv")

Below is a benchmark that Edouard published on his site

microbenchmark(write.csv(data, "baseR_file.csv", row.names = F),
               write_csv(data, "readr_file.csv"),

Running multiple AsyncTasks at the same time -- not possible?

Just to include the latest update (UPDATE 4) in @Arhimed 's immaculate answer in the very good summary of @sulai:

void doTheTask(AsyncTask task) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) { // Android 4.4 (API 19) and above
        // Parallel AsyncTasks are possible, with the thread-pool size dependent on device

How To Include CSS and jQuery in my WordPress plugin?

Accepted answer is incomplete. You should use the right hook: wp_enqueue_scripts

Example:

    function add_my_css_and_my_js_files(){
        wp_enqueue_script('your-script-name', $this->urlpath  . '/your-script-filename.js', array('jquery'), '1.2.3', true);
        wp_enqueue_style( 'your-stylesheet-name', plugins_url('/css/new-style.css', __FILE__), false, '1.0.0', 'all');
    }
    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', "add_my_css_and_my_js_files");

php: loop through json array

First you have to decode your json :

$array = json_decode($the_json_code);

Then after the json decoded you have to do the foreach

foreach ($array as $key => $jsons) { // This will search in the 2 jsons
     foreach($jsons as $key => $value) {
         echo $value; // This will show jsut the value f each key like "var1" will print 9
                       // And then goes print 16,16,8 ...
    }
}

If you want something specific just ask for a key like this. Put this between the last foreach.

if($key == 'var1'){
 echo $value;
}

How do I efficiently iterate over each entry in a Java Map?

                String mapKey = entry.getKey();
                String mapValue = entry.getValue();
            }

            //Simple for loop
            Map<String, String> mapString = new HashMap<>();
            for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : mapString.entrySet()) {
                String mapKey = entry.getKey();
                String mapValue = entry.getValue();

            }

nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option:

I had the same problem and executing npm config delete prefix did not help me.

But this did:

After installing nvm using brew, create ~/.nvm directory:
$ mkdir ~/.nvm

and add following lines into ~/.bash_profile:

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
. $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

(Check that you have no other nvm related command in any ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile)

Open a new terminal and this time it should not print any warning message.
Check that nvm is working by executing nvm --version command.
After that, install/reinstall NodeJS using nvm install node && nvm alias default node.

More Info

I installed nvm using homebrew and after that I got this notification:

Please note that upstream has asked us to make explicit managing nvm via Homebrew is unsupported by them and you should check any problems against the standard nvm install method prior to reporting.

You should create NVM's working directory if it doesn't exist:

 mkdir ~/.nvm

Add the following to ~/.bash_profile or your desired shell configuration file:

 export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
 . $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

You can set $NVM_DIR to any location, but leaving it unchanged from /usr/local/Cellar/nvm/0.31.0 will destroy any nvm-installed Node installations upon upgrade/reinstall.

Ignoring it brought me to this error message:

nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/usr/local/Cellar/nvm/0.31.0/versions/node/v5.7.1"
Run nvm use --delete-prefix v5.7.1 --silent to unset it.

I followed an earlier guide (from homebrew/nvm) and after that I found that I needed to reinstall NodeJS. So I did:

nvm install node && nvm alias default node

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

Putting the model dot property in strings worked for me: ModelState.AddModelError("Item1.Month", "This is not a valid date");

Handling multiple IDs in jQuery

Yes, #id selectors combined with a multiple selector (comma) is perfectly valid in both jQuery and CSS.

However, for your example, since <script> comes before the elements, you need a document.ready handler, so it waits until the elements are in the DOM to go looking for them, like this:

<script>
  $(function() {
    $("#segement1,#segement2,#segement3").hide()
  });
</script>

<div id="segement1"></div>
<div id="segement2"></div>
<div id="segement3"></div>

How do I verify/check/test/validate my SSH passphrase?

If your passphrase is to unlock your SSH key and you don't have ssh-agent, but do have sshd (the SSH daemon) installed on your machine, do:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys;
ssh localhost -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Where ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub is the public key, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa is the private key.

How to add MVC5 to Visual Studio 2013?

Encrypt and decrypt a string in C#?

I have an open source project called X509Crypto that leverages certificates to encrypt and decrypt strings. It's very easy to use. Here is an example for how to use it:

1. Use the X509Crypto Commandline Interface (CLI) to generate a new encryption certificate and key pair

>x509crypto.exe
X509Crypto> makecert -context user -keysize medium -alias myvault

Certificate with thumbprint B31FE7E7AE5229F8186782742CF579197FA859FD was added to X509Alias "myvault" in the user X509Context

X509Crypto>

2. Use the Encrypt CLI command to add a secret to your new X509Alias

X509Crypto> encrypt -text -alias myvault -context user -secret apikey -in "80EAF03248965AC2B78090"

Secret apikey has been added to X509Alias myvault in the user X509Context

X509Crypto>

3. Reference the secret in your program

Once you have an X509Alias established with your secret(s) added, it is trivial to retreive them in your program with the Org.X509Crypto nuget package installed:

using Org.X509Crypto;

namespace SampleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var Alias = new X509Alias(@"myvault", X509Context.UserReadOnly);
            var apiKey = Alias.RecoverSecret(@"apikey");
        }
    }
}

Create database from command line

createdb is a command line utility which you can run from bash and not from psql. To create a database from psql, use the create database statement like so:

create database [databasename];

Note: be sure to always end your SQL statements with ;

npx command not found

try :

sudo su

then

npm i npx 
or 
npi i -g npx

check your npx version by

npx -v

Downloading images with node.js

Building on the above, if anyone needs to handle errors in the write/read streams, I used this version. Note the stream.read() in case of a write error, it's required so we can finish reading and trigger close on the read stream.

var download = function(uri, filename, callback){
  request.head(uri, function(err, res, body){
    if (err) callback(err, filename);
    else {
        var stream = request(uri);
        stream.pipe(
            fs.createWriteStream(filename)
                .on('error', function(err){
                    callback(error, filename);
                    stream.read();
                })
            )
        .on('close', function() {
            callback(null, filename);
        });
    }
  });
};

How to copy a file from remote server to local machine?

The scp operation is separate from your ssh login. You will need to issue an ssh command similar to the following one assuming jdoe is account with which you log into the remote system and that the remote system is example.com:

scp [email protected]:/somedir/table /home/me/Desktop/.

The scp command issued from the system where /home/me/Desktop resides is followed by the userid for the account on the remote server. You then add a ":" followed by the directory path and file name on the remote server, e.g., /somedir/table. Then add a space and the location to which you want to copy the file. If you want the file to have the same name on the client system, you can indicate that with a period, i.e. "." at the end of the directory path; if you want a different name you could use /home/me/Desktop/newname, instead. If you were using a nonstandard port for SSH connections, you would need to specify that port with a "-P n" (capital P), where "n" is the port number. The standard port is 22 and if you aren't specifying it for the SSH connection then you won't need that.

PHP header redirect 301 - what are the implications?

The effect of the 301 would be that the search engines will index /option-a instead of /option-x. Which is probably a good thing since /option-x is not reachable for the search index and thus could have a positive effect on the index. Only if you use this wisely ;-)

After the redirect put exit(); to stop the rest of the script to execute

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); 
header("Location: /option-a"); 
exit();

Single quotes vs. double quotes in C or C++

Some compilers also implement an extension, that allows multi-character constants. The C99 standard says:

6.4.4.4p10: "The value of an integer character constant containing more than one character (e.g., 'ab'), or containing a character or escape sequence that does not map to a single-byte execution character, is implementation-defined."

This could look like this, for instance:

const uint32_t png_ihdr = 'IHDR';

The resulting constant (in GCC, which implements this) has the value you get by taking each character and shifting it up, so that 'I' ends up in the most significant bits of the 32-bit value. Obviously, you shouldn't rely on this if you are writing platform independent code.

JAVA Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

This is because of a higher JDK during compile time and lower JDK during runtime. So you just need to update your JDK version, possible to JDK 7

You may also check Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Intellij JAVA_HOME variable

So far, nobody has answered the actual question.

Someone can figure what is happening ?

The problem here is that while the value of your $JAVA_HOME is correct, you defined it in the wrong place.

  • When you open a terminal and launch a Bash session, it will read the ~/.bash_profile file. Thus, when you enter echo $JAVA_HOME, it will return the value that has been set there.
  • When you launch IntelliJ directly, it will not read ~/.bash_profile … why should it? So to IntelliJ, this variable is not set.

There are two possible solutions to this:

  • Launch IntelliJ from a Bash session: open a terminal and run "/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea". The idea process will inherit any environment variables of Bash that have been exported. (Since you did export JAVA_HOME=…, it works!), or, the sophisticated way:
  • Set global environment variables that apply to all programs, not only Bash sessions. This is more complicated than you might think, and is explained here and here, for example. What you should do is run

    /bin/launchctl setenv JAVA_HOME $(/usr/libexec/java_home)
    

    However, this gets reset after a reboot. To make sure this gets run on every boot, execute

    cat << EOF > ~/Library/LaunchAgents/setenv.JAVA_HOME.plist
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
        "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
      <plist version="1.0">
      <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>setenv.JAVA_HOME</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
          <string>/bin/launchctl</string>
          <string>setenv</string>
          <string>JAVA_HOME</string>
          <string>$(/usr/libexec/java_home)</string>
        </array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>ServiceIPC</key>
        <false/>
      </dict>
    </plist>
    EOF
    

    Note that this also affects the Terminal process, so there is no need to put anything in your ~/.bash_profile.
