What are the differences between WCF and ASMX web services?

ASMX Web services can only be invoked by HTTP (traditional webservice with .asmx). While WCF Service or a WCF component can be invoked by any protocol (like http, tcp etc.) and any transport type.

Second, ASMX web services are not flexible. However, WCF Services are flexible. If you make a new version of the service then you need to just expose a new end. Therefore, services are agile and which is a very practical approach looking at the current business trends.

We develop WCF as contracts, interface, operations, and data contracts. As the developer we are more focused on the business logic services and need not worry about channel stack. WCF is a unified programming API for any kind of services so we create the service and use configuration information to set up the communication mechanism like HTTP/TCP/MSMQ etc

Angular4 - No value accessor for form control

For me it was due to "multiple" attribute on select input control as Angular has different ValueAccessor for this type of control.

const countryControl = new FormControl();

And inside template use like this

    <select multiple name="countries" [formControl]="countryControl">
      <option *ngFor="let country of countries" [ngValue]="country">
       {{ country.name }}
      </option>
    </select>

GC overhead limit exceeded

From Java SE 6 HotSpot[tm] Virtual Machine Garbage Collection Tuning

the following

Excessive GC Time and OutOfMemoryError

The concurrent collector will throw an OutOfMemoryError if too much time is being spent in garbage collection: if more than 98% of the total time is spent in garbage collection and less than 2% of the heap is recovered, an OutOfMemoryError will be thrown. This feature is designed to prevent applications from running for an extended period of time while making little or no progress because the heap is too small. If necessary, this feature can be disabled by adding the option -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit to the command line.

The policy is the same as that in the parallel collector, except that time spent performing concurrent collections is not counted toward the 98% time limit. In other words, only collections performed while the application is stopped count toward excessive GC time. Such collections are typically due to a concurrent mode failure or an explicit collection request (e.g., a call to System.gc()).

in conjunction with a passage further down

One of the most commonly encountered uses of explicit garbage collection occurs with RMIs distributed garbage collection (DGC). Applications using RMI refer to objects in other virtual machines. Garbage cannot be collected in these distributed applications without occasionally collection the local heap, so RMI forces full collections periodically. The frequency of these collections can be controlled with properties. For example,

java -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000

-Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 specifies explicit collection once per hour instead of the default rate of once per minute. However, this may also cause some objects to take much longer to be reclaimed. These properties can be set as high as Long.MAX_VALUE to make the time between explicit collections effectively infinite, if there is no desire for an upper bound on the timeliness of DGC activity.

Seems to imply that the evaluation period for determining the 98% is one minute long, but it might be configurable on Sun's JVM with the correct define.

Of course, other interpretations are possible.

Cannot read property length of undefined

The id of the input seems is not WallSearch. Maybe you're confusing that name and id. They are two different properties. name is used to define the name by which the value is posted, while id is the unique identification of the element inside the DOM.

Other possibility is that you have two elements with the same id. The browser will pick any of these (probably the last, maybe the first) and return an element that doesn't support the value property.

Passing variables, creating instances, self, The mechanics and usage of classes: need explanation

class Foo          (object):
    # ^class name  #^ inherits from object

    bar = "Bar" #Class attribute.

    def __init__(self):
        #        #^ The first variable is the class instance in methods.  
        #        #  This is called "self" by convention, but could be any name you want.
        #^ double underscore (dunder) methods are usually special.  This one 
        #  gets called immediately after a new instance is created.

        self.variable = "Foo" #instance attribute.
        print self.variable, self.bar  #<---self.bar references class attribute
        self.bar = " Bar is now Baz"   #<---self.bar is now an instance attribute
        print self.variable, self.bar  

    def method(self, arg1, arg2):
        #This method has arguments.  You would call it like this:  instance.method(1, 2)
        print "in method (args):", arg1, arg2
        print "in method (attributes):", self.variable, self.bar


a = Foo() # this calls __init__ (indirectly), output:
                 # Foo bar
                 # Foo  Bar is now Baz
print a.variable # Foo
a.variable = "bar"
a.method(1, 2) # output:
               # in method (args): 1 2
               # in method (attributes): bar  Bar is now Baz
Foo.method(a, 1, 2) #<--- Same as a.method(1, 2).  This makes it a little more explicit what the argument "self" actually is.

class Bar(object):
    def __init__(self, arg):
        self.arg = arg
        self.Foo = Foo()

b = Bar(a)
b.arg.variable = "something"
print a.variable # something
print b.Foo.variable # Foo

How do I escape a single quote in SQL Server?

The doubling up of the quote should have worked, so it's peculiar that it didn't work for you; however, an alternative is using double quote characters, instead of single ones, around the string. I.e.,

insert into my_table values("hi, my name's tim.");

twitter-bootstrap: how to get rid of underlined button text when hovering over a btn-group within an <a>-tag?

Easy way to remove the underline from the anchor tag if you use bootstrap. for my case, I used to like this;

 <a href="#first1" class=" nav-link">
   <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg btn-block">
   Reserve Table
   </button>
 </a>

Array of PHP Objects

Yes.

$array[] = new stdClass;
$array[] = new stdClass;

print_r($array);

Results in:

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
        )

)

How do you automatically resize columns in a DataGridView control AND allow the user to resize the columns on that same grid?

Slightly neater C# code from Miroslav Zadravec's code assuming all columns are to be autosized

for (int i = 0; i < dgvProblems.Columns.Count; i++)
{
    dgvProblems.Columns[i].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells;
    int colw = dgvProblems.Columns[i].Width;
    dgvProblems.Columns[i].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.None;
    dgvProblems.Columns[i].Width = colw;
}

How can I verify if one list is a subset of another?

Set theory is inappropriate for lists since duplicates will result in wrong answers using set theory.

For example:

a = [1, 3, 3, 3, 5]
b = [1, 3, 3, 4, 5]
set(b) > set(a)

has no meaning. Yes, it gives a false answer but this is not correct since set theory is just comparing: 1,3,5 versus 1,3,4,5. You must include all duplicates.

Instead you must count each occurrence of each item and do a greater than equal to check. This is not very expensive, because it is not using O(N^2) operations and does not require quick sort.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from collections import Counter

def containedInFirst(a, b):
  a_count = Counter(a)
  b_count = Counter(b)
  for key in b_count:
    if a_count.has_key(key) == False:
      return False
    if b_count[key] > a_count[key]:
      return False
  return True


a = [1, 3, 3, 3, 5]
b = [1, 3, 3, 4, 5]
print "b in a: ", containedInFirst(a, b)

a = [1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5]
b = [1, 3, 3, 4, 5]
print "b in a: ", containedInFirst(a, b)

Then running this you get:

$ python contained.py 
b in a:  False
b in a:  True

CentOS: Copy directory to another directory

For copy directory use following command

cp -r source    Destination

For example

cp -r  /home/hasan   /opt 

For copy file use command without -r

cp   /home/file    /home/hasan/

How can I check if a value is a json object?

Since it's just false and json object, why don't you check whether it's false, otherwise it must be json.

if(ret == false || ret == "false") {
    // json
}

Regular expression for only characters a-z, A-Z

Piggybacking on what the other answers say, since you don't know how to do them at all, here's an example of how you might do it in JavaScript:

var charactersOnly = "This contains only characters";
var nonCharacters = "This has _@#*($()*@#$(*@%^_(#@!$ non-characters";

if (charactersOnly.search(/[^a-zA-Z]+/) === -1) {
  alert("Only characters");
}

if (nonCharacters.search(/[^a-zA-Z]+/)) {
  alert("There are non characters.");
}

The / starting and ending the regular expression signify that it's a regular expression. The search function takes both strings and regexes, so the / are necessary to specify a regex.

From the MDN Docs, the function returns -1 if there is no match.

Also note: that this works for only a-z, A-Z. If there are spaces, it will fail.

PySpark: withColumn() with two conditions and three outcomes

The withColumn function in pyspark enables you to make a new variable with conditions, add in the when and otherwise functions and you have a properly working if then else structure. For all of this you would need to import the sparksql functions, as you will see that the following bit of code will not work without the col() function. In the first bit, we declare a new column -'new column', and then give the condition enclosed in when function (i.e. fruit1==fruit2) then give 1 if the condition is true, if untrue the control goes to the otherwise which then takes care of the second condition (fruit1 or fruit2 is Null) with the isNull() function and if true 3 is returned and if false, the otherwise is checked again giving 0 as the answer.

from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df=df.withColumn('new_column', 
    F.when(F.col('fruit1')==F.col('fruit2'), 1)
    .otherwise(F.when((F.col('fruit1').isNull()) | (F.col('fruit2').isNull()), 3))
    .otherwise(0))

Why is Java Vector (and Stack) class considered obsolete or deprecated?

Besides the already stated answers about using Vector, Vector also has a bunch of methods around enumeration and element retrieval which are different than the List interface, and developers (especially those who learned Java before 1.2) can tend to use them if they are in the code. Although Enumerations are faster, they don't check if the collection was modified during iteration, which can cause issues, and given that Vector might be chosen for its syncronization - with the attendant access from multiple threads, this makes it a particularly pernicious problem. Usage of these methods also couples a lot of code to Vector, such that it won't be easy to replace it with a different List implementation.

Is double square brackets [[ ]] preferable over single square brackets [ ] in Bash?

How do you set a JavaScript onclick event to a class with css

You can do this by thinking of it a little bit differently. Detect when the body is clicked (document.body.onclick - i.e. anything on the page) and then check if the element clicked (event.srcElement / e.target) has a class and that that class name is the one you want:

document.body.onclick = function(e) {   //when the document body is clicked
    if (window.event) {
        e = event.srcElement;           //assign the element clicked to e (IE 6-8)
    }
    else {
        e = e.target;                   //assign the element clicked to e
    }

    if (e.className && e.className.indexOf('someclass') != -1) {
        //if the element has a class name, and that is 'someclass' then...
        alert('hohoho');
    }
}

Or a more concise version of the above:

document.body.onclick= function(e){
   e=window.event? event.srcElement: e.target;
   if(e.className && e.className.indexOf('someclass')!=-1)alert('hohoho');
}

Android Recyclerview vs ListView with Viewholder

Okay so little bit of digging and I found these gems from Bill Philips article on RecycleView

RecyclerView can do more than ListView, but the RecyclerView class itself has fewer responsibilities than ListView. Out of the box, RecyclerView does not:

  • Position items on the screen
  • Animate views
  • Handle any touch events apart from scrolling

All of this stuff was baked in to ListView, but RecyclerView uses collaborator classes to do these jobs instead.

The ViewHolders you create are beefier, too. They subclass RecyclerView.ViewHolder, which has a bunch of methods RecyclerView uses. ViewHolders know which position they are currently bound to, as well as which item ids (if you have those). In the process, ViewHolder has been knighted. It used to be ListView’s job to hold on to the whole item view, and ViewHolder only held on to little pieces of it.

Now, ViewHolder holds on to all of it in the ViewHolder.itemView field, which is assigned in ViewHolder’s constructor for you.

How do I clone a specific Git branch?

Create a branch on the local system with that name. e.g. say you want to get the branch named branch-05142011

git branch branch-05142011 origin/branch-05142011

It'll give you a message:

$ git checkout --track origin/branch-05142011
Branch branch-05142011 set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/branch-05142011.
Switched to a new branch "branch-05142011"

Now just checkout the branch like below and you have the code

git checkout branch-05142011

How to use MySQL DECIMAL?

DOUBLE columns are not the same as DECIMAL columns, and you will get in trouble if you use DOUBLE columns for financial data.

DOUBLE is actually just a double precision (64 bit instead of 32 bit) version of FLOAT. Floating point numbers are approximate representations of real numbers and they are not exact. In fact, simple numbers like 0.01 do not have an exact representation in FLOAT or DOUBLE types.

DECIMAL columns are exact representations, but they take up a lot more space for a much smaller range of possible numbers. To create a column capable of holding values from 0.0001 to 99.9999 like you asked you would need the following statement

CREATE TABLE your_table
(
    your_column DECIMAL(6,4) NOT NULL
);

The column definition follows the format DECIMAL(M, D) where M is the maximum number of digits (the precision) and D is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point (the scale).

This means that the previous command creates a column that accepts values from -99.9999 to 99.9999. You may also create an UNSIGNED DECIMAL column, ranging from 0.0000 to 99.9999.

For more information on MySQL DECIMAL the official docs are always a great resource.

Bear in mind that all of this information is true for versions of MySQL 5.0.3 and greater. If you are using previous versions, you really should upgrade.

C++ convert hex string to signed integer

This worked for me:

string string_test = "80123456";
unsigned long x;
signed long val;

std::stringstream ss;
ss << std::hex << string_test;
ss >> x;
// ss >> val;  // if I try this val = 0
val = (signed long)x;  // However, if I cast the unsigned result I get val = 0x80123456 

How to do a PUT request with curl?

What is the purpose of the "final" keyword in C++11 for functions?

"final" also allows a compiler optimization to bypass the indirect call:

class IAbstract
{
public:
  virtual void DoSomething() = 0;
};

class CDerived : public IAbstract
{
  void DoSomething() final { m_x = 1 ; }

  void Blah( void ) { DoSomething(); }

};

with "final", the compiler can call CDerived::DoSomething() directly from within Blah(), or even inline. Without it, it has to generate an indirect call inside of Blah() because Blah() could be called inside a derived class which has overridden DoSomething().

What does $ mean before a string?

Note that you can also combine the two, which is pretty cool (although it looks a bit odd):

Search an Oracle database for tables with specific column names?

The data you want is in the "cols" meta-data table:

SELECT * FROM COLS WHERE COLUMN_NAME = 'id'

This one will give you a list of tables that have all of the columns you want:

select distinct
  C1.TABLE_NAME
from
  cols c1
  inner join
  cols c2
  on C1.TABLE_NAME = C2.TABLE_NAME
  inner join
  cols c3
  on C2.TABLE_NAME = C3.TABLE_NAME
  inner join
  cols c4
  on C3.TABLE_NAME = C4.TABLE_NAME  
  inner join
  tab t
  on T.TNAME = C1.TABLE_NAME
where T.TABTYPE = 'TABLE' --could be 'VIEW' if you wanted
  and upper(C1.COLUMN_NAME) like upper('%id%')
  and upper(C2.COLUMN_NAME) like upper('%fname%')
  and upper(C3.COLUMN_NAME) like upper('%lname%')
  and upper(C4.COLUMN_NAME) like upper('%address%')  

To do this in a different schema, just specify the schema in front of the table, as in

SELECT * FROM SCHEMA1.COLS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%ID%';

If you want to combine the searches of many schemas into one output result, then you could do this:

SELECT DISTINCT
  'SCHEMA1' AS SCHEMA_NAME
 ,TABLE_NAME
FROM SCHEMA1.COLS
WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%ID%'
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
  'SCHEMA2' AS SCHEMA_NAME
 ,TABLE_NAME
FROM SCHEMA2.COLS
WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%ID%'

Jenkins: Cannot define variable in pipeline stage

In Jenkins 2.138.3 there are two different types of pipelines.

Declarative and Scripted pipelines.

"Declarative pipelines is a new extension of the pipeline DSL (it is basically a pipeline script with only one step, a pipeline step with arguments (called directives), these directives should follow a specific syntax. The point of this new format is that it is more strict and therefore should be easier for those new to pipelines, allow for graphical editing and much more. scripted pipelines is the fallback for advanced requirements."

jenkins pipeline: agent vs node?

Here is an example of using environment and global variables in a Declarative Pipeline. From what I can tell enviroment are static after they are set.

def  browser = 'Unknown'

pipeline {
    agent any
    environment {
    //Use Pipeline Utility Steps plugin to read information from pom.xml into env variables
    IMAGE = readMavenPom().getArtifactId()
    VERSION = readMavenPom().getVersion()


    }
    stages {
        stage('Example') {
            steps {
                script {
                    browser = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'echo Chrome')
                }
            }
        }
        stage('SNAPSHOT') {
                when {
                    expression { 
                        return !env.JOB_NAME.equals("PROD") && !env.VERSION.contains("RELEASE")
                    }
                }
                steps {
                    echo "SNAPSHOT"
                    echo "${browser}"
                }
            }
            stage('RELEASE') {
                when {
                    expression { 
                        return !env.JOB_NAME.equals("TEST") && !env.VERSION.contains("RELEASE")
                    }
                }
                steps {
                    echo "RELEASE"
                    echo "${browser}"
                }
            }
    }//end of stages 
}//end of pipeline

newline character in c# string

They might be just a \r or a \n. I just checked and the text visualizer in VS 2010 displays both as newlines as well as \r\n.

This string

string test = "blah\r\nblah\rblah\nblah";

Shows up as

blah
blah
blah
blah

in the text visualizer.

So you could try

string modifiedString = originalString
    .Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")
    .Replace("\r", "<br />")
    .Replace("\n", "<br />");

What are static factory methods?

One of the advantages that stems from Static factory is that that API can return objects without making their classes public. This lead to very compact API. In java this is achieved by Collections class which hides around 32 classes which makes it collection API very compact.

What do Clustered and Non clustered index actually mean?

Clustered Index

Clustered indexes sort and store the data rows in the table or view based on their key values. These are the columns included in the index definition. There can be only one clustered index per table, because the data rows themselves can be sorted in only one order.

The only time the data rows in a table are stored in sorted order is when the table contains a clustered index. When a table has a clustered index, the table is called a clustered table. If a table has no clustered index, its data rows are stored in an unordered structure called a heap.

Nonclustered

Nonclustered indexes have a structure separate from the data rows. A nonclustered index contains the nonclustered index key values and each key value entry has a pointer to the data row that contains the key value. The pointer from an index row in a nonclustered index to a data row is called a row locator. The structure of the row locator depends on whether the data pages are stored in a heap or a clustered table. For a heap, a row locator is a pointer to the row. For a clustered table, the row locator is the clustered index key.

You can add nonkey columns to the leaf level of the nonclustered index to by-pass existing index key limits, and execute fully covered, indexed, queries. For more information, see Create Indexes with Included Columns. For details about index key limits see Maximum Capacity Specifications for SQL Server.

                $scope.initialHeight = $scope.initialHeight || element[0].style.height;
                var resize = function() {
                    element[0].style.height = $scope.initialHeight;
                    element[0].style.height = "" + element[0].scrollHeight + "px";
                };
                element.on("input change", resize);

$timeout queues an event that will fire after the DOM loads, which is what's necessary to get the right scrollHeight (otherwise you'll get undefined)

Adding a JAR to an Eclipse Java library

As of Helios Service Release 2, there is no longer support for JAR files.You can add them, but Eclipse will not recognize them as libraries, therefore you can only "import" but can never use.

Reverse a string without using reversed() or [::-1]?

Inspired by Jon's answer, how about this one

Convert a RGB Color Value to a Hexadecimal String

You can use

String hex = String.format("#%02x%02x%02x", r, g, b);  

Use capital X's if you want your resulting hex-digits to be capitalized (#FFFFFF vs. #ffffff).

PySpark: multiple conditions in when clause

You get SyntaxError error exception because Python has no && operator. It has and and & where the latter one is the correct choice to create boolean expressions on Column (| for a logical disjunction and ~ for logical negation).

Condition you created is also invalid because it doesn't consider operator precedence. & in Python has a higher precedence than == so expression has to be parenthesized.

(col("Age") == "") & (col("Survived") == "0")
## Column<b'((Age = ) AND (Survived = 0))'>

On a side note when function is equivalent to case expression not WHEN clause. Still the same rules apply. Conjunction:

df.where((col("foo") > 0) & (col("bar") < 0))

Disjunction:

df.where((col("foo") > 0) | (col("bar") < 0))

You can of course define conditions separately to avoid brackets:

cond1 = col("Age") == "" 
cond2 = col("Survived") == "0"

cond1 & cond2

Custom Card Shape Flutter SDK

You can also customize the card theme globally with ThemeData.cardTheme:

Launch an app from within another (iPhone)

In order to let you open your application from another, you'll need to make changes in both applications. Here are the steps using Swift 3 with iOS 10 update:

1. Register your application that you want to open

Update the Info.plist by defining your application's custom and unique URL Scheme.

enter image description here

Note that your scheme name should be unique, otherwise if you have another application with the same URL scheme name installed on your device, then this will be determined runtime which one gets opened.

2. Include the previous URL scheme in your main application

You'll need to specify the URL scheme you want the app to be able to use with the canOpenURL: method of the UIApplication class. So open the main application's Info.plist and add the other application's URL scheme to LSApplicationQueriesSchemes. (Introduced in iOS 9.0)

enter image description here

3. Implement the action that opens your application

Now everything is set up, so you're good to write your code in your main application that opens your other app. This should looks something like this:

let appURLScheme = "MyAppToOpen://"

guard let appURL = URL(string: appURLScheme) else {
    return
}

if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(appURL) {

    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(appURL)
    }
    else {
        UIApplication.shared.openURL(appURL)
    }
}
else {
    // Here you can handle the case when your other application cannot be opened for any reason.
}

Note that these changes requires a new release if you want your existing app (installed from AppStore) to open. If you want to open an application that you've already released to Apple AppStore, then you'll need to upload a new version first that includes your URL scheme registration.

Maven is not working in Java 8 when Javadoc tags are incomplete

Add into the global properties section in the pom file:

<project>

The common solution provided here in the other answers (adding that property in the plugins section) did not work for some reason. Only by setting it globally I could build the javadoc jar successfully.

text flowing out of div

If it is just one instance that needs to be wrapped over 2 or 3 lines I would just use a few <wbr> in the string. It will treat those just like <br> but it wont insert the line break if it isn't necessary.

AngularJS performs an OPTIONS HTTP request for a cross-origin resource

For an IIS MVC 5 / Angular CLI ( Yes, I am well aware your problem is with Angular JS ) project with API I did the following:

web.config under <system.webServer> node

    <staticContent>
      <remove fileExtension=".woff2" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="font/woff2" />
    </staticContent>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <clear />
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type, atv2" />
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"/>
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>

global.asax.cs

protected void Application_BeginRequest() {
  if (Request.Headers.AllKeys.Contains("Origin", StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && Request.HttpMethod == "OPTIONS") {
    Response.Flush();
    Response.End();
  }
}

That should fix your issues for both MVC and WebAPI without having to do all the other run around. I then created an HttpInterceptor in the Angular CLI project that automatically added in the the relevant header information. Hope this helps someone out in a similar situation.

MySQL JDBC Driver 5.1.33 - Time Zone Issue

I also got the same running java JDBC in NetBeans. This is how it fixed

I use Xampp. In conf button of Apache I opened httpd.conf file and on first line I typed

# Set timezone to Europe/Athens UTC+02:00 
SetEnv TZ Europe/Athens.

In conf button of MySQL I opened my.ini file and on last line I typed "Europe/Athens"

Stopped and started both Apache and MySQL

Problem fixed.

*(Local mechine time zone is different, but no problem.)

Is it possible to have SSL certificate for IP address, not domain name?

The C/A Browser forum sets what is and is not valid in a certificate, and what CA's should reject.

According to their Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates document, CAs must, since 2015, not issue certificats where the common name, or common alternate names fields contains a reserved IP or internal name, where reserved IP addresses are IPs that IANA has listed as reserved - which includes all NAT IPs - and internal names are any names that don't resolve on the public DNS.

Public IP addresses CAN be used (and the baseline requirements doc specifies what kinds of checks a CA must perform to ensure the applicant owns the IP).

How can I pass a reference to a function, with parameters?

The following is equivalent to your second code block:

var f = function () {
        //Some logic here...
    };

var fr = f;

fr(pars);

If you want to actually pass a reference to a function to some other function, you can do something like this:

function fiz(x, y, z) {
    return x + y + z;
}

// elsewhere...

function foo(fn, p, q, r) {
    return function () {
        return fn(p, q, r);
    }
}

// finally...

f = foo(fiz, 1, 2, 3);
f(); // returns 6

You're almost certainly better off using a framework for this sort of thing, though.

Is it possible to select the last n items with nth-child?

Javascript search inside a JSON object

If you are doing this in more than one place in your application it would make sense to use a client-side JSON database because creating custom search functions that get called by array.filter() is messy and less maintainable than the alternative.

Check out ForerunnerDB which provides you with a very powerful client-side JSON database system and includes a very simple query language to help you do exactly what you are looking for:

// Create a new instance of ForerunnerDB and then ask for a database
var fdb = new ForerunnerDB(),
    db = fdb.db('myTestDatabase'),
    coll;

// Create our new collection (like a MySQL table) and change the default
// primary key from "_id" to "id"
coll = db.collection('myCollection', {primaryKey: 'id'});

// Insert our records into the collection
coll.insert([
    {"name":"my Name","id":12,"type":"car owner"},
    {"name":"my Name2","id":13,"type":"car owner2"},
    {"name":"my Name4","id":14,"type":"car owner3"},
    {"name":"my Name4","id":15,"type":"car owner5"}
]);

// Search the collection for the string "my nam" as a case insensitive
// regular expression - this search will match all records because every
// name field has the text "my Nam" in it
var searchResultArray = coll.find({
    name: /my nam/i
});

console.log(searchResultArray);

/* Outputs
[
    {"name":"my Name","id":12,"type":"car owner"},
    {"name":"my Name2","id":13,"type":"car owner2"},
    {"name":"my Name4","id":14,"type":"car owner3"},
    {"name":"my Name4","id":15,"type":"car owner5"}
]
*/

jQuery Cross Domain Ajax

The response from server is JSON String format. If the set dataType as 'json' jquery will attempt to use it directly. You need to set dataType as 'text' and then parse it manually.

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: "text", // You need to use dataType text else it will try to parse it.
    url: "http://someotherdomain.com/service.svc",
    success: function (responseData, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        console.log("in");
        var data = JSON.parse(responseData['AuthenticateUserResult']);
        console.log(data);
    },
    error: function (responseData, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert('POST failed.');
    }
});

What does operator "dot" (.) mean?

There is a whole page in the MATLAB documentation dedicated to this topic: Array vs. Matrix Operations. The gist of it is below:

MATLAB® has two different types of arithmetic operations: array operations and matrix operations. You can use these arithmetic operations to perform numeric computations, for example, adding two numbers, raising the elements of an array to a given power, or multiplying two matrices.

Matrix operations follow the rules of linear algebra. By contrast, array operations execute element by element operations and support multidimensional arrays. The period character (.) distinguishes the array operations from the matrix operations. However, since the matrix and array operations are the same for addition and subtraction, the character pairs .+ and .- are unnecessary.

Calculating arithmetic mean (one type of average) in Python

NumPy has a numpy.mean which is an arithmetic mean. Usage is as simple as this:

>>> import numpy
>>> a = [1, 2, 4]
>>> numpy.mean(a)
2.3333333333333335

How to create a JavaScript callback for knowing when an image is loaded?

Not suitable for 2008 when the question was asked, but these days this works well for me:

async function newImageSrc(src) {
  // Get a reference to the image in whatever way suits.
  let image = document.getElementById('image-id');

  // Update the source.
  img.src = src;

  // Wait for it to load.
  await new Promise((resolve) => { image.onload = resolve; });

  // Done!
  console.log('image loaded! do something...');
}

Difference between array_map, array_walk and array_filter

  • Changing Values:
  • Array Keys Access:
  • Return Value:
    • array_map returns a new array, array_walk only returns true. Hence, if you don't want to create an array as a result of traversing one array, you should use array_walk.
  • Iterating Multiple Arrays:
    • array_map also can receive an arbitrary number of arrays and it can iterate over them in parallel, while array_walk operates only on one.
  • Passing Arbitrary Data to Callback:
    • array_walk can receive an extra arbitrary parameter to pass to the callback. This mostly irrelevant since PHP 5.3 (when anonymous functions were introduced).
  • Length of Returned Array:
    • The resulting array of array_map has the same length as that of the largest input array; array_walk does not return an array but at the same time it cannot alter the number of elements of original array; array_filter picks only a subset of the elements of the array according to a filtering function. It does preserve the keys.

Example:

<pre>
<?php

$origarray1 = array(2.4, 2.6, 3.5);
$origarray2 = array(2.4, 2.6, 3.5);

print_r(array_map('floor', $origarray1)); // $origarray1 stays the same

// changes $origarray2
array_walk($origarray2, function (&$v, $k) { $v = floor($v); }); 
print_r($origarray2);

// this is a more proper use of array_walk
array_walk($origarray1, function ($v, $k) { echo "$k => $v", "\n"; });

// array_map accepts several arrays
print_r(
    array_map(function ($a, $b) { return $a * $b; }, $origarray1, $origarray2)
);

// select only elements that are > 2.5
print_r(
    array_filter($origarray1, function ($a) { return $a > 2.5; })
);

?>
</pre>

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => 2
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
)
Array
(
    [0] => 2
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
)
0 => 2.4
1 => 2.6
2 => 3.5
Array
(
    [0] => 4.8
    [1] => 5.2
    [2] => 10.5
)
Array
(
    [1] => 2.6
    [2] => 3.5
)

How does RewriteBase work in .htaccess

AFAIK, RewriteBase is only used to fix cases where mod_rewrite is running in a .htaccess file not at the root of a site and it guesses the wrong web path (as opposed to filesystem path) for the folder it is running in. So if you have a RewriteRule in a .htaccess in a folder that maps to http://example.com/myfolder you can use:

RewriteBase myfolder

If mod_rewrite isn't working correctly.

Trying to use it to achieve something unusual, rather than to fix this problem sounds like a recipe to getting very confused.

Difference between margin and padding?

Remember these 3 points:

  • The Margin is the extra space around the control.
  • The Padding is extra space inside the control.
  • The Padding of an outer control is the Margin of an inner control.

The "backspace" escape character '\b': unexpected behavior?

javascript password generator

I got insprired by the answers above (especially by the hint from @e.vyushin regarding the security of Math.random() ) and I came up with the following solution that uses the crypto.getRandomValues() to generate a rondom array of UInt32 values with the length of the password length.

Then, it loops through the array and devides each element by 2^32 (max value of a UInt32) to calculate the ratio between the actual value and the max. possible value. This ratio is then mapped to the charset string to determine which character of the string is picked.

console.log(createPassword(16,"letters+numbers+signs"));
function createPassword(len, charset) {
    if (charset==="letters+numbers") {
        var chars = "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    } else if (charset==="letters+numbers+signs") {
        var chars = "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!§$%&/?#+-_@";
    }
    var arr = new Uint32Array(len);
    var maxRange = Math.pow(2,32);
    var passwd = '';
    window.crypto.getRandomValues(arr);
    

    for (let i=0;i<len;i++) {
        var c = Math.floor(arr[i] / maxRange  * chars.length + 1);
        passwd += chars.charAt(c);
    }
    return passwd;
}

Thus, the code is able to use the advantage of the crypto-Class (improved security for the random value generation) and is adaptable to use any kind of charset the user wished. A next step would be to use regular expression strings to define the charset to be used.

SQL, Postgres OIDs, What are they and why are they useful?

To remove all OIDs from your database tables, you can use this Linux script:

First, login as PostgreSQL superuser:

sudo su postgres

Now run this script, changing YOUR_DATABASE_NAME with you database name:

for tbl in `psql -qAt -c "select schemaname || '.' || tablename from pg_tables WHERE schemaname <> 'pg_catalog' AND schemaname <> 'information_schema';" YOUR_DATABASE_NAME` ; do  psql -c "alter table $tbl SET WITHOUT OIDS" YOUR_DATABASE_NAME ; done

I used this script to remove all my OIDs, since Npgsql 3.0 doesn't work with this, and it isn't important to PostgreSQL anymore.

How to choose between Hudson and Jenkins?

As chmullig wrote, use Jenkins. Some additional points:

...and a little background info:

The creator of Hudson, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, started the project on his free time, even if he was working for Sun Microsystems and later paid by them to develop it further. As @erickson noted at another SO question,

[Hudson/Jenkins] is the product of a single genius intellect—Kohsuke Kawaguchi. Because of that, it's consistent, coherent, and rock solid.

After the acquisition by Oracle, Kohsuke didn't hang around for long (due to lack of monitors...? ;-]), and went to work for CloudBees. What started in late 2010 as conflict over tools between the dev community and Oracle and ended in the rename/fork/split is well documented in the links chmullig provided. To me, that whole conundrum speaks, perhaps more than anything else, to Oracle's utter inability or unwillingness to sponsor an open-source project in a way that keeps all parties (Oracle, developers, users) happy. It's not in their DNA or something, as we've seen in other cases too.

Given all of the above, I would personally follow Kohsuke and other core developers in this matter, and go with Jenkins.

Can an abstract class have a constructor?

An abstract class can have a constructor BUT you can not create an object of abstract class so how do you use that constructor?

Thing is when you inherit that abstract class in your subclass you can pass values to its(abstract's) constructor through super(value) method in your subclass and no you don't inherit a constructor.

so using super you can pass values in a constructor of the abstract class and as far as I remember it has to be the first statement in your method or constructor.

Warp \ bend effect on a UIView?

What you show looks like a mesh warp. That would be straightforward using OpenGL, but "straightforward OpenGL" is like straightforward rocket science.

I wrote an iOS app for my company called Face Dancerthat's able to do 60 fps mesh warp animations of video from the built-in camera using OpenGL, but it was a lot of work. (It does funhouse mirror type changes to faces - think "fat booth" live, plus lots of other effects.)

Why use 'git rm' to remove a file instead of 'rm'?

git rm will remove the file from the index and working directory ( only index if you used --cached ) so that the deletion is staged for next commit.

Convert data.frame column to a vector?

Another advantage of using the '[[' operator is that it works both with data.frame and data.table. So if the function has to be made running for both data.frame and data.table, and you want to extract a column from it as a vector then

data[["column_name"]] 

is best.

    this._title = title;
    this._content = content;
    this._yesOnPressed = yesOnPressed;
    this._noOnPressed = noOnPressed;
    this._yes = yes;
    this._no = no;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AlertDialog(
      title: new Text(this._title),
      content: new Text(this._content),
      backgroundColor: this._color,
      shape:
          RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(15)),
      actions: <Widget>[
        new FlatButton(
          child: new Text(this._yes),
          textColor: Colors.greenAccent,
          onPressed: () {
            this._yesOnPressed();
          },
        ),
        new FlatButton(
          child: Text(this._no),
          textColor: Colors.redAccent,
          onPressed: () {
            this._noOnPressed();
          },
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

To show the dialog you can have a method that calls it NB after importing BaseAlertDialog class

_confirmRegister() {
var baseDialog = BaseAlertDialog(
    title: "Confirm Registration",
    content: "I Agree that the information provided is correct",
    yesOnPressed: () {},
    noOnPressed: () {},
    yes: "Agree",
    no: "Cancel");
showDialog(context: context, builder: (BuildContext context) => baseDialog);
}

How to use moment.js library in angular 2 typescript app?

If you're okay adding more third-party packages, I used the angular2-moment library. Installation was pretty straightforward, and you should follow the latest instructions on the README. I also installed typings as a result of this.

Worked like a charm for me, and barely added any code to get it working.

How to convert an ASCII character into an int in C

Use the ASCII to Integer atoi() function which accepts a string and converts it into an integer:

#include <stdlib.h>

int num = atoi("23.21"); // 23

how do I check in bash whether a file was created more than x time ago?

Creation time isn't stored.

What are stored are three timestamps (generally, they can be turned off on certain filesystems or by certain filesystem options):

  • Last access time
  • Last modification time
  • Last change time

a "Change" to the file is counted as permission changes, rename etc. While the modification is contents only.

Using ChildActionOnly in MVC

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

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


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

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

How to do a batch insert in MySQL

array.select() in javascript

Underscore.js is a good library for these sorts of operations - it uses the builtin routines such as Array.filter if available, or uses its own if not.

http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/

The docs will give an idea of use - the javascript lambda syntax is nowhere near as succinct as ruby or others (I always forget to add an explicit return statement for example) and scope is another easy way to get caught out, but you can do most things quite easily with the exception of constructs such as lazy list comprehensions.

From the docs for .select() (.filter() is an alias for the same)

Looks through each value in the list, returning an array of all the values that pass a truth test (iterator). Delegates to the native filter method, if it exists.

  var evens = _.select([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return num % 2 == 0; });
  => [2, 4, 6]

Iterating over ResultSet and adding its value in an ArrayList

If I've understood your problem correctly, there are two possible problems here:

  • resultset is null - I assume that this can't be the case as if it was you'd get an exception in your while loop and nothing would be output.
  • The second problem is that resultset.getString(i++) will get columns 1,2,3 and so on from each subsequent row.

I think that the second point is probably your problem here.

Lets say you only had 1 row returned, as follows:

Col 1, Col 2, Col 3 
A    ,     B,     C

Your code as it stands would only get A - it wouldn't get the rest of the columns.

I suggest you change your code as follows:

ResultSet resultset = ...;
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>(); 
while (resultset.next()) {                      
    int i = 1;
    while(i <= numberOfColumns) {
        arrayList.add(resultset.getString(i++));
    }
    System.out.println(resultset.getString("Col 1"));
    System.out.println(resultset.getString("Col 2"));
    System.out.println(resultset.getString("Col 3"));                    
    System.out.println(resultset.getString("Col n"));
}

Edit:

To get the number of columns:

ResultSetMetaData metadata = resultset.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = metadata.getColumnCount();

How to update record using Entity Framework 6?

Here's my post-RIA entity-update method (for the Ef6 time frame):

public static void UpdateSegment(ISegment data)
{
    if (data == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("The expected Segment data is not here.");

    var context = GetContext();

    var originalData = context.Segments.SingleOrDefault(i => i.SegmentId == data.SegmentId);
    if (originalData == null) throw new NullReferenceException("The expected original Segment data is not here.");

    FrameworkTypeUtility.SetProperties(data, originalData);

    context.SaveChanges();
}

Note that FrameworkTypeUtility.SetProperties() is a tiny utility function I wrote long before AutoMapper on NuGet:

public static void SetProperties<TIn, TOut>(TIn input, TOut output, ICollection<string> includedProperties)
    where TIn : class
    where TOut : class
{
    if ((input == null) || (output == null)) return;
    Type inType = input.GetType();
    Type outType = output.GetType();
    foreach (PropertyInfo info in inType.GetProperties())
    {
        PropertyInfo outfo = ((info != null) && info.CanRead)
            ? outType.GetProperty(info.Name, info.PropertyType)
            : null;
        if (outfo != null && outfo.CanWrite
            && (outfo.PropertyType.Equals(info.PropertyType)))
        {
            if ((includedProperties != null) && includedProperties.Contains(info.Name))
                outfo.SetValue(output, info.GetValue(input, null), null);
            else if (includedProperties == null)
                outfo.SetValue(output, info.GetValue(input, null), null);
        }
    }

Java Library Description

Why doesn't Python have multiline comments?

For anyone else looking for multi-line comments in Python - using the triple quote format can have some problematic consequences, as I've just learned the hard way. Consider this:

this_dict = {
    'name': 'Bob',

"""
This is a multiline comment in the middle of a dictionary
"""

    'species': 'Cat'
}

The multi-line comment will be tucked into the next string, messing up the 'species' key. Better to just use # for comments.

height: calc(100%) not working correctly in CSS

If you are styling calc in a GWT project, its parser might not parse calc for you as it did not for me... the solution is to wrap it in a css literal like this:

height: literal("-moz-calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");
height: literal("-webkit-calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");
height: literal("calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");

What is difference between XML Schema and DTD?

DTD is pretty much deprecated because it is limited in its usefulness as a schema language, doesn't support namespace, and does not support data type. In addition, DTD's syntax is quite complicated, making it difficult to understand and maintain..

How to make a class property?

[answer written based on python 3.4; the metaclass syntax differs in 2 but I think the technique will still work]

You can do this with a metaclass...mostly. Dappawit's almost works, but I think it has a flaw:

class MetaFoo(type):
    @property
    def thingy(cls):
        return cls._thingy

class Foo(object, metaclass=MetaFoo):
    _thingy = 23

This gets you a classproperty on Foo, but there's a problem...

print("Foo.thingy is {}".format(Foo.thingy))
# Foo.thingy is 23
# Yay, the classmethod-property is working as intended!
foo = Foo()
if hasattr(foo, "thingy"):
    print("Foo().thingy is {}".format(foo.thingy))
else:
    print("Foo instance has no attribute 'thingy'")
# Foo instance has no attribute 'thingy'
# Wha....?

What the hell is going on here? Why can't I reach the class property from an instance?

I was beating my head on this for quite a while before finding what I believe is the answer. Python @properties are a subset of descriptors, and, from the descriptor documentation (emphasis mine):

The default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or delete the attribute from an object’s dictionary. For instance, a.x has a lookup chain starting with a.__dict__['x'], then type(a).__dict__['x'], and continuing through the base classes of type(a) excluding metaclasses.

So the method resolution order doesn't include our class properties (or anything else defined in the metaclass). It is possible to make a subclass of the built-in property decorator that behaves differently, but (citation needed) I've gotten the impression googling that the developers had a good reason (which I do not understand) for doing it that way.

That doesn't mean we're out of luck; we can access the properties on the class itself just fine...and we can get the class from type(self) within the instance, which we can use to make @property dispatchers:

class Foo(object, metaclass=MetaFoo):
    _thingy = 23

    @property
    def thingy(self):
        return type(self).thingy

Now Foo().thingy works as intended for both the class and the instances! It will also continue to do the right thing if a derived class replaces its underlying _thingy (which is the use case that got me on this hunt originally).

This isn't 100% satisfying to me -- having to do setup in both the metaclass and object class feels like it violates the DRY principle. But the latter is just a one-line dispatcher; I'm mostly okay with it existing, and you could probably compact it down to a lambda or something if you really wanted.

What is parsing in terms that a new programmer would understand?

What is parsing?

In computer science, parsing is the process of analysing text to determine if it belongs to a specific language or not (i.e. is syntactically valid for that language's grammar). It is an informal name for the syntactic analysis process.

For example, suppose the language a^n b^n (which means same number of characters A followed by the same number of characters B). A parser for that language would accept AABB input and reject the AAAB input. That is what a parser does.

In addition, during this process a data structure could be created for further processing. In my previous example, it could, for instance, to store the AA and BB in two separate stacks.

Anything that happens after it, like giving meaning to AA or BB, or transform it in something else, is not parsing. Giving meaning to parts of an input sequence of tokens is called semantic analysis.

What isn't parsing?

  • Parsing is not transform one thing into another. Transforming A into B, is, in essence, what a compiler does. Compiling takes several steps, parsing is only one of them.
  • Parsing is not extracting meaning from a text. That is semantic analysis, a step of the compiling process.

What is the simplest way to understand it?

I think the best way for understanding the parsing concept is to begin with the simpler concepts. The simplest one in language processing subject is the finite automaton. It is a formalism to parsing regular languages, such as regular expressions.

It is very simple, you have an input, a set of states and a set of transitions. Consider the following language built over the alphabet { A, B }, L = { w | w starts with 'AA' or 'BB' as substring }. The automaton below represents a possible parser for that language whose all valid words starts with 'AA' or 'BB'.

    A-->(q1)--A-->(qf)
   /  
 (q0)    
   \          
    B-->(q2)--B-->(qf)

It is a very simple parser for that language. You start at (q0), the initial state, then you read a symbol from the input, if it is A then you move to (q1) state, otherwise (it is a B, remember the remember the alphabet is only A and B) you move to (q2) state and so on. If you reach (qf) state, then the input was accepted.

As it is visual, you only need a pencil and a piece of paper to explain what a parser is to anyone, including a child. I think the simplicity is what makes the automata the most suitable way to teaching language processing concepts, such as parsing.

Finally, being a Computer Science student, you will study such concepts in-deep at theoretical computer science classes such as Formal Languages and Theory of Computation.

You have to refer to ranges in the vba format, not the in-excel format.

What is the purpose and use of **kwargs?

Here's a simple function that serves to explain the usage:

def print_wrap(arg1, *args, **kwargs):
    print(arg1)
    print(args)
    print(kwargs)
    print(arg1, *args, **kwargs)

Any arguments that are not specified in the function definition will be put in the args list, or the kwargs list, depending on whether they are keyword arguments or not:

>>> print_wrap('one', 'two', 'three', end='blah', sep='--')
one
('two', 'three')
{'end': 'blah', 'sep': '--'}
one--two--threeblah

If you add a keyword argument that never gets passed to a function, an error will be raised:

>>> print_wrap('blah', dead_arg='anything')
TypeError: 'dead_arg' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

How to check if array element exists or not in javascript?

This is exactly what the in operator is for. Use it like this:

if (index in currentData) 
{ 
    Ti.API.info(index + " exists: " + currentData[index]);
}

The accepted answer is wrong, it will give a false negative if the value at index is undefined:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const currentData = ['a', undefined], index = 1;_x000D_
_x000D_
if (index in currentData) {_x000D_
  console.info('exists');_x000D_
}_x000D_
// ...vs..._x000D_
if (typeof currentData[index] !== 'undefined') {_x000D_
  console.info('exists');_x000D_
} else {_x000D_
  console.info('does not exist'); // incorrect!_x000D_
}

How do I split a string, breaking at a particular character?

Zach had this one right.. using his method you could also make a seemingly "multi-dimensional" array.. I created a quick example at JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/LcnvJ/2/

// array[0][1] will produce james

// array[1][0] will produce kevin
// array[1][1] will produce haley

var array = [];
    array[0] = "brian,james,doug".split(",");
    array[1] = "kevin,haley,steph".split(",");

How to deal with "data of class uneval" error from ggplot2?

when you add a new data set to a geom you need to use the data= argument. Or put the arguments in the proper order mapping=..., data=.... Take a look at the arguments for ?geom_line.

Thus:

p + geom_line(data=df.last, aes(HrEnd, MWh, group=factor(Date)), color="red") 

Or:

p + geom_line(aes(HrEnd, MWh, group=factor(Date)), df.last, color="red") 

Google Map API - Removing Markers

According to Google documentation they said that this is the best way to do it. First create this function to find out how many markers there are/

   function setMapOnAll(map1) {
    for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
      markers[i].setMap(map1);
    }
  }

Next create another function to take away all these markers

 function clearMarker(){
setMapOnAll(null);
}

Then create this final function to erase all the markers when ever this function is called upon.

 function delateMarkers(){
clearMarker()
markers = []
//console.log(markers) This is just if you want to

}

How to run Rake tasks from within Rake tasks?

If you need the task to behave as a method, how about using an actual method?

task :build => [:some_other_tasks] do
  build
end

task :build_all do
  [:debug, :release].each { |t| build t }
end

def build(type = :debug)
  # ...
end

If you'd rather stick to rake's idioms, here are your possibilities, compiled from past answers:

  • This always executes the task, but it doesn't execute its dependencies:

    Rake::Task["build"].execute
    
  • This one executes the dependencies, but it only executes the task if it has not already been invoked:

    Rake::Task["build"].invoke
    
  • This first resets the task's already_invoked state, allowing the task to then be executed again, dependencies and all:

    Rake::Task["build"].reenable
    Rake::Task["build"].invoke
    
  • Note that dependencies already invoked are not automatically re-executed unless they are re-enabled. In Rake >= 10.3.2, you can use the following to re-enable those as well:

    Rake::Task["build"].all_prerequisite_tasks.each(&:reenable)

Also, I used array to make it simple.... you can directly take integer input and convert it into string and send it to file. input-convert-Write-Process... its that simple.

Usage of __slots__?

You would want to use __slots__ if you are going to instantiate a lot (hundreds, thousands) of objects of the same class. __slots__ only exists as a memory optimization tool.

It's highly discouraged to use __slots__ for constraining attribute creation.

Pickling objects with __slots__ won't work with the default (oldest) pickle protocol; it's necessary to specify a later version.

Some other introspection features of python may also be adversely affected.

Listing information about all database files in SQL Server

If you rename your Database, MS SQL Server does not rename the underlying files.

Following query gives you the current name of the database and the Logical file name (which might be the original name of the Database when it was created) and also corresponding physical file names.

Note: Un-comment the last line to see only the actual data files

select  db.database_id, 
        db.name "Database Name", 
        files.name "Logical File Name",
        files.physical_name
from    sys.master_files files 
        join sys.databases db on db.database_id = files.database_id 
--                           and files.type_desc = 'ROWS'

Why do we use volatile keyword?

In computer programming, particularly in the C, C++, and C# programming languages, a variable or object declared with the volatile keyword usually has special properties related to optimization and/or threading. Generally speaking, the volatile keyword is intended to prevent the (pseudo)compiler from applying any optimizations on the code that assume values of variables cannot change "on their own."

String statementText = statement.toString();
query = statementText.substring( statementText.indexOf( ": " ) + 2 );

Creating dummy variables in pandas for python

For my case, dmatrices in patsy solved my problem. Actually, this function is designed for the generation of dependent and independent variables from a given DataFrame with an R-style formula string. But it can be used for the generation of dummy features from the categorical features. All you need to do would be drop the column 'Intercept' that is generated by dmatrices automatically regardless of your original DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
from patsy import dmatrices

df_original = pd.DataFrame({
   'A': ['red', 'green', 'red', 'green'],
   'B': ['car', 'car', 'truck', 'truck'],
   'C': [10,11,12,13],
   'D': ['alice', 'bob', 'charlie', 'alice']},
   index=[0, 1, 2, 3])

_, df_dummyfied = dmatrices('A ~ A + B + C + D', data=df_original, return_type='dataframe')
df_dummyfied = df_dummyfied.drop('Intercept', axis=1)

df_dummyfied.columns    
Index([u'A[T.red]', u'B[T.truck]', u'D[T.bob]', u'D[T.charlie]', u'C'], dtype='object')

df_dummyfied
   A[T.red]  B[T.truck]  D[T.bob]  D[T.charlie]     C
0       1.0         0.0       0.0           0.0  10.0
1       0.0         0.0       1.0           0.0  11.0
2       1.0         1.0       0.0           1.0  12.0

How to Bulk Insert from XLSX file extension?

It can be done using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. But if you're familiar with SSIS and don't want to run the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, create an SSIS package that uses the Excel Source and the SQL Server Destination in the data flow.

Align labels in form next to input

You can do something like this:

HTML:

<div class='div'>
<label>Something</label>
<input type='text' class='input'/>
<div>

CSS:

.div{
      margin-bottom: 10px;
      display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: 1fr 4fr;
}

.input{
       width: 50%;
}

Hope this helps ! :)

How to open Visual Studio Code from the command line on OSX?

The instruction given at VS Code Command Line for launching a path are incorrect; the leading colon shown in the example doesn't work. However, launching with a backslash terminated directory name opens the specified directory as expected.

So, for example,

code C:\Users\DAVE\Documents\Programming\Angular\StringCalculator\src\

opens the Visual Studio Code editor in directory C:\Users\DAVE\Documents\Programming\Angular\StringCalculator\src.

Important: The terminal backslash, though optional, is useful, as it makes clear that the intend is to open a directory, as opposed to a file. Bear in mind that file name extensions are, and always have been, optional.

Beware: The directory that gets appended to the PATH list is the \bin directory, and the shell command code launches a Windows NT Command script.

Hence, when incorporated into another shell script, code must be called or started if you expect the remainder of the script to run. Thankfully, I discovered this before my first test of a new shell script that I am creating to start an Angular 2 project in a local Web server, my default Web browser, and Visual Studio Code, all at once.

Following is my Angular startup script, adapted to eliminate a dependency on one of my system utilities that is published elsewhere, but not strictly required.

=========================================================================

Name:               StartAngularApp.CMD

Synopsis:           Start the Angular 2 application installed in a specified
                     directory.

Arguments:          %1 = OPTIONAL: Name of directory in which to application
                          is installed

Remarks:            If no argument is specified, the application must be in
                    the current working directory.

                    This is a completely generalized Windows NT command
                    script (shell script) that uses the NPM Angular CLI to
                    load an Angular 2 application into a Node development
                    Web server, the default Web browser, and the Visual
                    Studio Code text editor.

Dependencies:       Unless otherwise specified in the command line, the
                    application is created in the current working directory.

                    All of the following shell scripts and programs must be
                    installed in a directory that is on the Windows PATH
                    directory list.

                    1)  ShowTime.CMD

                    2)  WWPause.exe

                    3)  WWSleep.exe

                    4)  npm (the Node Package Manager) and its startup 
                        script, npm.cmd, must be accessible via the Windows
                        PATH environment string. By default, this goes into
                        directory C:\Program Files\nodejs.

                    5)  The Angular 2 startup script, ng.cmd, and the Node
                        Modules library must be installed for global access.
                        By default, these go into directory %AppData%\npm.

Using numpy to build an array of all combinations of two arrays

Pandas merge offers a naive, fast solution to the problem:

# given the lists
x, y, z = [1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7]

# get dfs with same, constant index 
x = pd.DataFrame({'x': x}, index=np.repeat(0, len(x))
y = pd.DataFrame({'y': y}, index=np.repeat(0, len(y))
z = pd.DataFrame({'z': z}, index=np.repeat(0, len(z))

# get all permutations stored in a new df
df = pd.merge(x, pd.merge(y, z, left_index=True, righ_index=True),
              left_index=True, right_index=True)

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer

I easily solve this problem by right clicking on my solution and then clicking on the Enable NuGet Package Restore option

(P.S: Ensure that you have the Nuget Install From Tools--> Extensions and Update--> Nuget Package Manager for Visual Studio 2013. If not install this extention first)

Hope it helps.

How to change the author and committer name and e-mail of multiple commits in Git?

If the commits you want to fix are the latest ones, and just a couple of them, you can use a combination of git reset and git stash to go back an commit them again after configuring the right name and email.

The sequence will be something like this (for 2 wrong commits, no pending changes):

git config user.name <good name>
git config user.email <good email>
git reset HEAD^
git stash
git reset HEAD^
git commit -a
git stash pop
git commit -a

In Eclipse, what can cause Package Explorer "red-x" error-icon when all Java sources compile without errors?

After build. Refresh project and if still persist just right click Problems tab in eclipse and choose delete all.

It often happens if you do maven install and eclipse properties files do not get updated properly. Even though your project does not have any errors. Hopefully!

How to get "GET" request parameters in JavaScript?

A map-reduce solution:

var urlParams = location.search.split(/[?&]/).slice(1).map(function(paramPair) {
        return paramPair.split(/=(.+)?/).slice(0, 2);
    }).reduce(function (obj, pairArray) {            
        obj[pairArray[0]] = pairArray[1];
        return obj;
    }, {});

Usage:

For url: http://example.com?one=1&two=2
console.log(urlParams.one) // 1
console.log(urlParams.two) // 2

How to allow only a number (digits and decimal point) to be typed in an input?

         link: function(scope, element, attrs, modelCtrl) {
           modelCtrl.$parsers.push(function (inputValue) {
               // this next if is necessary for when using ng-required on your input. 
               // In such cases, when a letter is typed first, this parser will be called
               // again, and the 2nd time, the value will be undefined
               if (inputValue == undefined) return '' 
               var transformedInput = inputValue.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');

Show DataFrame as table in iPython Notebook

You'll need to use the HTML() or display() functions from IPython's display module:

from IPython.display import display, HTML

# Assuming that dataframes df1 and df2 are already defined:
print "Dataframe 1:"
display(df1)
print "Dataframe 2:"
display(HTML(df2.to_html()))

Note that if you just print df1.to_html() you'll get the raw, unrendered HTML.

You can also import from IPython.core.display with the same effect

SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column

What is the difference between map and flatMap and a good use case for each?

map: It returns a new RDD by applying a function to each element of the RDD. Function in .map can return only one item.

flatMap: Similar to map, it returns a new RDD by applying a function to each element of the RDD, but the output is flattened.

Also, function in flatMap can return a list of elements (0 or more)

For Example:

sc.parallelize([3,4,5]).map(lambda x: range(1,x)).collect()

Output: [[1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4]]

sc.parallelize([3,4,5]).flatMap(lambda x: range(1,x)).collect()

Output: notice o/p is flattened out in a single list [1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4]

CSS align one item right with flexbox

To align one flex child to the right set it withmargin-left: auto;

From the flex spec:

One use of auto margins in the main axis is to separate flex items into distinct "groups". The following example shows how to use this to reproduce a common UI pattern - a single bar of actions with some aligned on the left and others aligned on the right.

.wrap div:last-child {
  margin-left: auto;
}

Note:

You could achieve a similar effect by setting flex-grow:1 on the middle flex item (or shorthand flex:1) which would push the last item all the way to the right. (Demo)

The obvious difference however is that the middle item becomes bigger than it may need to be. Add a border to the flex items to see the difference.

How to pass a datetime parameter?

in your Product Web API controller:

[RoutePrefix("api/product")]
public class ProductController : ApiController
{
    private readonly IProductRepository _repository;
    public ProductController(IProductRepository repository)
    {
        this._repository = repository;
    }

    [HttpGet, Route("orders")]
    public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetProductPeriodOrders(string productCode, DateTime dateStart, DateTime dateEnd)
    {
        try
        {
            IList<Order> orders = await _repository.GetPeriodOrdersAsync(productCode, dateStart.ToUniversalTime(), dateEnd.ToUniversalTime());
            return Ok(orders);
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            return NotFound();
        }
    }
}

test GetProductPeriodOrders method in Fiddler - Composer:

http://localhost:46017/api/product/orders?productCode=100&dateStart=2016-12-01T00:00:00&dateEnd=2016-12-31T23:59:59

DateTime format:

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

javascript pass parameter use moment.js

const dateStart = moment(startDate).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss');
const dateEnd = moment(endDate).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss');

How to wrap text using CSS?

The better option if you cannot control user input, it is to establish the css property, overflow:hidden, so if the string is superior to the width, it will not deform the design.

Edited:

I like the answer: "word-wrap: break-word", and for those browsers that do not support it, for example, IE6 or IE7, I would use my solution.

How to Pass Parameters to Activator.CreateInstance<T>()

Keep in mind though that passing arguments on Activator.CreateInstance has a significant performance difference versus parameterless creation.

There are better alternatives for dynamically creating objects using pre compiled lambda. Of course always performance is subjective and it clearly depends on each case if it's worth it or not.

Details about the issue on this article.

wait process until all subprocess finish?

A Popen object has a .wait() method exactly defined for this: to wait for the completion of a given subprocess (and, besides, for retuning its exit status).

If you use this method, you'll prevent that the process zombies are lying around for too long.

(Alternatively, you can use subprocess.call() or subprocess.check_call() for calling and waiting. If you don't need IO with the process, that might be enough. But probably this is not an option, because your if the two subprocesses seem to be supposed to run in parallel, which they won't with (check_)call().)

If you have several subprocesses to wait for, you can do

exit_codes = [p.wait() for p in p1, p2]

which returns as soon as all subprocesses have finished. You then have a list of return codes which you maybe can evaluate.

How can I use a carriage return in a HTML tooltip?

According to this article on the w3c website:

CDATA is a sequence of characters from the document character set and may include character entities. User agents should interpret attribute values as follows:

  • Replace character entities with characters,
  • Ignore line feeds,
  • Replace each carriage return or tab with a single space.

This means that (at least) CR and LF won't work inside title attribute. I suggest that you use a tooltip plugin. Most of these plugins allow arbitrary HTML to be displayed as an element's tooltip.

Create a folder if it doesn't already exist

To create a folder if it doesn't already exist

Considering the question's environment.

  • WordPress.
  • Webhosting Server.
  • Assuming its Linux not Windows running PHP.

And quoting from: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php

bool mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode = 0777 [, bool $recursive = FALSE [, resource $context ]]] )

Manual says that the only required parameter is the $pathname!

so, We can simply code:

<?php
error_reporting(0); 
if(!mkdir('wp-content/uploads')){
   // todo
}
?>

Explanation:

We don't have to pass any parameter or check if folder exists or even pass mode parameter unless needed; for the following reasons:

  • The command will create the folder with 0755 permission (Shared hosting folder's default permission) or 0777 the command's default.
  • mode is ignored on Windows Hosting running PHP.
  • Already the mkdir command has build in checker if folder exists; so we need to check the return only True|False ; and its not an error, its a warning only, and Warning is disabled in hosting servers by default.
  • As per speed, this is faster if warning disabled.

This is just another way to look into the question and not claiming a better or most optimal solution.

Is PowerShell ready to replace my Cygwin shell on Windows?

I haven't seen that the PowerShell has really taken off, at least not yet. So it might not be worth the effort of learning it unless those others on your team already know it.

For your predicament you might be better off with a scripting language that others could get behind, Perl like you mentioned, or others like Ruby or Python.

I think a lot of it depends on what you need to do. Personally I've been using Python for my own personal scripts, but I know when I start writing something that I'll never be able to pass it on - so I try not to do anything too revolutionary.

Add JsonArray to JsonObject

I'm starting to learn about this myself, being very new to android development and I found this video very helpful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcotbMLjlA4

It specifically covers to to get JSONArray to JSONObject at 19:30 in the video.

Code from the video for JSONArray to JSONObject:

JSONArray queryArray = quoteJSONObject.names();

ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

for(int i = 0; i < queryArray.length(); i++){
    list.add(queryArray.getString(i));
}

for(String item : list){
    Log.v("JSON ARRAY ITEMS ", item);
}

Load local images in React.js

Instead of use img src="", try to create a div and set background-image as the image you want.

Right now it's working for me.

example:

App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';



class App extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <div className="myImage"> </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

App.css

.myImage {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  background-image: url("./icons/add-circle.png");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 100%;
}

Handling file renames in git

you have to git add css/mobile.css the new file and git rm css/iphone.css, so git knows about it. then it will show the same output in git status

you can see it clearly in the status output (the new name of the file):

# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

and (the old name):

# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)

i think behind the scenes git mv is nothing more than a wrapper script which does exactly that: delete the file from the index and add it under a different name

Is it possible to read from a InputStream with a timeout?

Here is a way to get a NIO FileChannel from System.in and check for availability of data using a timeout, which is a special case of the problem described in the question. Run it at the console, don't type any input, and wait for the results. It was tested successfully under Java 6 on Windows and Linux.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FilterInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException;

public class Main {

    static final ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(4096);

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        long timeout = 1000 * 5;

        try {
            InputStream in = extract(System.in);
            if (! (in instanceof FileInputStream))
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "Could not extract a FileInputStream from STDIN.");

            try {
                int ret = maybeAvailable((FileInputStream)in, timeout);
                System.out.println(
                        Integer.toString(ret) + " bytes were read.");

            } finally {
                in.close();
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }

    }

    /* unravels all layers of FilterInputStream wrappers to get to the
     * core InputStream
     */
    public static InputStream extract(InputStream in)
            throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException {

        Field f = FilterInputStream.class.getDeclaredField("in");
        f.setAccessible(true);

        while( in instanceof FilterInputStream )
            in = (InputStream)f.get((FilterInputStream)in);

        return in;
    }

    /* Returns the number of bytes which could be read from the stream,
     * timing out after the specified number of milliseconds.
     * Returns 0 on timeout (because no bytes could be read)
     * and -1 for end of stream.
     */
    public static int maybeAvailable(final FileInputStream in, long timeout)
            throws IOException, InterruptedException {

        final int[] dataReady = {0};
        final IOException[] maybeException = {null};
        final Thread reader = new Thread() {
            public void run() {                
                try {
                    dataReady[0] = in.getChannel().read(buf);
                } catch (ClosedByInterruptException e) {
                    System.err.println("Reader interrupted.");
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    maybeException[0] = e;
                }
            }
        };

        Thread interruptor = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                reader.interrupt();
            }
        };

        reader.start();
        for(;;) {

            reader.join(timeout);
            if (!reader.isAlive())
                break;

            interruptor.start();
            interruptor.join(1000);
            reader.join(1000);
            if (!reader.isAlive())
                break;

            System.err.println("We're hung");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        if ( maybeException[0] != null )
            throw maybeException[0];

        return dataReady[0];
    }
}

Interestingly, when running the program inside NetBeans 6.5 rather than at the console, the timeout doesn't work at all, and the call to System.exit() is actually necessary to kill the zombie threads. What happens is that the interruptor thread blocks (!) on the call to reader.interrupt(). Another test program (not shown here) additionally tries to close the channel, but that doesn't work either.

Creating a node class in Java

Welcome to Java! This Nodes are like a blocks, they must be assembled to do amazing things! In this particular case, your nodes can represent a list, a linked list, You can see an example here:

public class ItemLinkedList {
    private ItemInfoNode head;
    private ItemInfoNode tail;
    private int size = 0;

    public int getSize() {
        return size;
    }

    public void addBack(ItemInfo info) {
        size++;
        if (head == null) {
            head = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, null);
            tail = head;
        } else {
            ItemInfoNode node = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, tail);
            this.tail.next =node;
            this.tail = node;
        }
    }

    public void addFront(ItemInfo info) {
        size++;
        if (head == null) {
            head = new ItemInfoNode(info, null, null);
            tail = head;
        } else {
            ItemInfoNode node = new ItemInfoNode(info, head, null);
            this.head.prev = node;
            this.head = node;
        }
    }

    public ItemInfo removeBack() {
        ItemInfo result = null;
        if (head != null) {
            size--;
            result = tail.info;
            if (tail.prev != null) {
                tail.prev.next = null;
                tail = tail.prev;
            } else {
                head = null;
                tail = null;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

    public ItemInfo removeFront() {
        ItemInfo result = null;
        if (head != null) {
            size--;
            result = head.info;
            if (head.next != null) {
                head.next.prev = null;
                head = head.next;
            } else {
                head = null;
                tail = null;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

    public class ItemInfoNode {

        private ItemInfoNode next;
        private ItemInfoNode prev;
        private ItemInfo info;

        public ItemInfoNode(ItemInfo info, ItemInfoNode next, ItemInfoNode prev) {
            this.info = info;
            this.next = next;
            this.prev = prev;
        }

        public void setInfo(ItemInfo info) {
            this.info = info;
        }

        public void setNext(ItemInfoNode node) {
            next = node;
        }

        public void setPrev(ItemInfoNode node) {
            prev = node;
        }

        public ItemInfo getInfo() {
            return info;
        }

        public ItemInfoNode getNext() {
            return next;
        }

        public ItemInfoNode getPrev() {
            return prev;
        }
    }
}

EDIT:

Declare ItemInfo as this:

public class ItemInfo {
    private String name;
    private String rfdNumber;
    private double price;
    private String originalPosition;

    public ItemInfo(){
    }

    public ItemInfo(String name, String rfdNumber, double price, String originalPosition) {
        this.name = name;
        this.rfdNumber = rfdNumber;
        this.price = price;
        this.originalPosition = originalPosition;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

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

    public String getRfdNumber() {
        return rfdNumber;
    }

    public void setRfdNumber(String rfdNumber) {
        this.rfdNumber = rfdNumber;
    }

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public void setPrice(double price) {
        this.price = price;
    }

    public String getOriginalPosition() {
        return originalPosition;
    }

    public void setOriginalPosition(String originalPosition) {
        this.originalPosition = originalPosition;
    }
}

Then, You can use your nodes inside the linked list like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ItemLinkedList list = new ItemLinkedList();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        list.addBack(new ItemInfo("name-"+i, "rfd"+i, i, String.valueOf(i)));

    }
    while (list.size() > 0){
        System.out.println(list.removeFront().getName());
    }
}

Is it possible to run CUDA on AMD GPUs?

As of 2019_10_10 I have NOT tested it, but there is the "GPU Ocelot" project

How to remove rows with any zero value

In base R, we can select the columns which we want to test using grep, compare the data with 0, use rowSums to select rows which has all non-zero values.

cols <- grep("^Mac", names(df))
df[rowSums(df[cols] != 0) == length(cols), ]

#          DateTime Mac1 Mac2 Mac3 Mac4
#1 2011-04-02 06:05   21   21   21   21
#2 2011-04-02 06:10   22   22   22   22
#3 2011-04-02 06:20   24   24   24   24

Doing this with inverted logic but giving the same output

df[rowSums(df[cols] == 0) == 0, ]

In dplyr, we can use filter_at to test for specific columns and use all_vars to select rows where all the values are not equal to 0.

library(dplyr)
df %>%  filter_at(vars(starts_with("Mac")), all_vars(. != 0))

data

df <- structure(list(DateTime = structure(1:6, .Label = c("2011-04-02 06:00", 
"2011-04-02 06:05", "2011-04-02 06:10", "2011-04-02 06:15", "2011-04-02 06:20", 
"2011-04-02 06:25"), class = "factor"), Mac1 = c(20L, 21L, 22L, 
23L, 24L, 0L), Mac2 = c(0L, 21L, 22L, 23L, 24L, 25L), Mac3 = c(20L, 
21L, 22L, 0L, 24L, 25L), Mac4 = c(20L, 21L, 22L, 23L, 24L, 0L
)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -6L))

</connectionStrings>

Based on your question:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="itmall" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:\19-02\ABCC\App_Data\abcc.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" />
    </connectionStrings>

Retrive connection string from web.config file:

write the below code in your file where you want;

string connstring=ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["itmall"].ConnectionString;

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connstring);

or you can go in your way like

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["itmall"].ConnectionString);

Note:

The "name" which you gave in web.config file and name which you used in connection string must be same(like "itmall" in this solution.)

Commenting out code blocks in Atom

According to this, cmd + / should do it.

And for Windows and Linux, it is ctrl + /.

Second line in li starts under the bullet after CSS-reset

Here is a good example -

ul li{
    list-style-type: disc;
    list-style-position: inside;
    padding: 10px 0 10px 20px;
    text-indent: -1em;
}

Best way to work with dates in Android SQLite

Best way to store datein SQlite DB is to store the current DateTimeMilliseconds. Below is the code snippet to do so_

  1. Get the DateTimeMilliseconds
public static long getTimeMillis(String dateString, String dateFormat) throws ParseException {
    /*Use date format as according to your need! Ex. - yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss */
    String myDate = dateString;//"2017/12/20 18:10:45";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat/*"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"*/);
    Date date = sdf.parse(myDate);
    long millis = date.getTime();

    return millis;
}
  1. Insert the data in your DB
public void insert(Context mContext, long dateTimeMillis, String msg) {
    //Your DB Helper
    MyDatabaseHelper dbHelper = new MyDatabaseHelper(mContext);
    database = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();

    ContentValues contentValue = new ContentValues();
    contentValue.put(MyDatabaseHelper.DATE_MILLIS, dateTimeMillis);
    contentValue.put(MyDatabaseHelper.MESSAGE, msg);

    //insert data in DB
    database.insert("your_table_name", null, contentValue);

   //Close the DB connection.
   dbHelper.close(); 

}

Now, your data (date is in currentTimeMilliseconds) is get inserted in DB .

Next step is, when you want to retrieve data from DB you need to convert the respective date time milliseconds in to corresponding date. Below is the sample code snippet to do the same_

  1. Convert date milliseconds in to date string.
public static String getDate(long milliSeconds, String dateFormat)
{
    // Create a DateFormatter object for displaying date in specified format.
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat/*"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"*/);

    // Create a calendar object that will convert the date and time value in milliseconds to date.
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(milliSeconds);
    return formatter.format(calendar.getTime());
}
  1. Now, Finally fetch the data and see its working...
public ArrayList<String> fetchData() {

    ArrayList<String> listOfAllDates = new ArrayList<String>();
    String cDate = null;

    MyDatabaseHelper dbHelper = new MyDatabaseHelper("your_app_context");
    database = dbHelper.getWritableDatabase();

    String[] columns = new String[] {MyDatabaseHelper.DATE_MILLIS, MyDatabaseHelper.MESSAGE};
    Cursor cursor = database.query("your_table_name", columns, null, null, null, null, null);

    if (cursor != null) {

        if (cursor.moveToFirst()){
            do{
                //iterate the cursor to get data.
                cDate = getDate(cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(MyDatabaseHelper.DATE_MILLIS)), "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");

                listOfAllDates.add(cDate);

            }while(cursor.moveToNext());
        }
        cursor.close();

    //Close the DB connection.
    dbHelper.close(); 

    return listOfAllDates;

}

Hope this will help all! :)
