Programs & Examples On #S expression

S-expressions are a notation for nested list or tree-structured data, popularized by the Lisp programming language.

How to fix .pch file missing on build?

Precompiled Header (pch) use is a two-step process.

In step one, you compile a stub file (In VS200x it's usually called stdafx.cpp. Newer versions use pch.cpp.). This stub file indirectly includes only the headers you want precompiled. Typically, one small header (usually stdafx.h or pch.hpp) lists standard headers such as <iostream> and <string>, and this is then included in the stub file. Compiling this creates the .pch file.

In step 2, your actual source code includes the same small header from step 1 as the first header. The compiler, when it encounters this special header, reads the corresponding .pch file instead. That means it doesn't have to (re)compile those standard headers every time.

In your case, it seems step 1 fails. Is the stub file still present? In your case, that would probably be xxxxx.cpp. It must be a file that's compiled with /Yc:xxxxx.pch, since that's the compiler flag to indicate it's step 1 of the PCH process. If xxxxx.cpp is present, and is such a stub file, then it's probably missing its /Yc: compiler option.

How do you get a query string on Flask?

from flask import request

@app.route('/data')
def data():
    # here we want to get the value of user (i.e. ?user=some-value)
    user = request.args.get('user')

Pylint, PyChecker or PyFlakes?

Well, I am a bit curious, so I just tested the three myself right after asking the question ;-)

Ok, this is not a very serious review, but here is what I can say:

I tried the tools with the default settings (it's important because you can pretty much choose your check rules) on the following script:

#!/usr/local/bin/python
# by Daniel Rosengren modified by e-satis

import sys, time
stdout = sys.stdout

BAILOUT = 16
MAX_ITERATIONS = 1000

class Iterator(object) :

    def __init__(self):

        print 'Rendering...'
        for y in xrange(-39, 39):
            stdout.write('\n')
            for x in xrange(-39, 39):
                if self.mandelbrot(x/40.0, y/40.0) :
                    stdout.write(' ')
                else:
                    stdout.write('*')


    def mandelbrot(self, x, y):
        cr = y - 0.5
        ci = x
        zi = 0.0
        zr = 0.0

        for i in xrange(MAX_ITERATIONS) :
            temp = zr * zi
            zr2 = zr * zr
            zi2 = zi * zi
            zr = zr2 - zi2 + cr
            zi = temp + temp + ci

            if zi2 + zr2 > BAILOUT:
                return i

        return 0

t = time.time()
Iterator()
print '\nPython Elapsed %.02f' % (time.time() - t)

As a result:

  • PyChecker is troublesome because it compiles the module to analyze it. If you don't want your code to run (e.g, it performs a SQL query), that's bad.
  • PyFlakes is supposed to be light. Indeed, it decided that the code was perfect. I am looking for something quite severe so I don't think I'll go for it.
  • PyLint has been very talkative and rated the code 3/10 (OMG, I'm a dirty coder !).

Strong points of PyLint:

  • Very descriptive and accurate report.
  • Detect some code smells. Here it told me to drop my class to write something with functions because the OO approach was useless in this specific case. Something I knew, but never expected a computer to tell me :-p
  • The fully corrected code run faster (no class, no reference binding...).
  • Made by a French team. OK, it's not a plus for everybody, but I like it ;-)

Cons of Pylint:

  • Some rules are really strict. I know that you can change it and that the default is to match PEP8, but is it such a crime to write 'for x in seq'? Apparently yes because you can't write a variable name with less than 3 letters. I will change that.
  • Very very talkative. Be ready to use your eyes.

Thanks to Rudiger Wolf, I discovered pep8 that does exactly what its name suggests: matching PEP8. It has found several syntax no-nos that Pylint did not. But Pylint found stuff that was not specifically linked to PEP8 but interesting. Both tools are interesting and complementary.

Eventually I will use both since there are really easy to install (via packages or setuptools) and the output text is so easy to chain.

To give you a little idea of their output:

pep8:

Identifying and solving javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable

The issue in my case was I included a constructor taking parameters but not an empty constructor with the Inject annotation, like so.

@Inject public VisitorBean() {}

I just tested it without any constructor and this appears to work also.

Difference between javacore, thread dump and heap dump in Websphere

Heap dumps anytime you wish to see what is being held in memory Out-of-memory errors Heap dumps - picture of in memory objects - used for memory analysis Java cores - also known as thread dumps or java dumps, used for viewing the thread activity inside the JVM at a given time. IBM javacores should a lot of additional information besides just the threads and stacks -- used to determine hangs, deadlocks, and reasons for performance degredation System cores

Error 1046 No database Selected, how to resolve?

be careful about blank passwords

mysqldump [options] -p '' --databases database_name

will ask for a password and complain with mysqldump: Got error: 1046: "No database selected" when selecting the database

the problem is that the -p option requires that there be no space between -p and the password.

mysqldump [options] -p'' --databases database_name

solved the problem (quotes are not needed anymore).

How to a convert a date to a number and back again in MATLAB

Use DATESTR

>> datestr(40189)
ans =
12-Jan-0110

Unfortunately, Excel starts counting at 1-Jan-1900. Find out how to convert serial dates from Matlab to Excel by using DATENUM

>> datenum(2010,1,11)
ans =
      734149
>> datenum(2010,1,11)-40189
ans =
      693960
>> datestr(40189+693960)
ans =
11-Jan-2010

In other words, to convert any serial Excel date, call

datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960)

EDIT

To get the date in mm/dd/yyyy format, call datestr with the specified format

excelSerialDate = 40189;
datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960,'mm/dd/yyyy')
ans =
01/11/2010

Also, if you want to get rid of the leading zero for the month, you can use REGEXPREP to fix things

excelSerialDate = 40189;
regexprep(datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960,'mm/dd/yyyy'),'^0','')
ans =
1/11/2010

Undefined index with $_POST

Your code assumes the existence of something:

$user = $_POST["username"];

PHP is letting you know that there is no "username" in the $_POST array. In this instance, you would be safer checking to see if the value isset() before attempting to access it:

if ( isset( $_POST["username"] ) ) {
    /* ... proceed ... */
}

Alternatively, you could hi-jack the || operator to assign a default:

$user = $_POST["username"] || "visitor" ;

As long as the user's name isn't a falsy value, you can consider this method pretty reliable. A much safer route to default-assignment would be to use the ternary operator:

$user = isset( $_POST["username"] ) ? $_POST["username"] : "visitor" ;

Declaring variables inside or outside of a loop

Truly, the question stated above is an programming issue. How would you like to program your code? Where do you need the 'STR' to be accessed? There is no use of declaring a variable which is used locally as a global variable. Basics of programming I believe.

'uint32_t' identifier not found error

This type is defined in the C header <stdint.h> which is part of the C++11 standard but not standard in C++03. According to the Wikipedia page on the header, it hasn't shipped with Visual Studio until VS2010.

In the meantime, you could probably fake up your own version of the header by adding typedefs that map Microsoft's custom integer types to the types expected by C. For example:

typedef __int32 int32_t;
typedef unsigned __int32 uint32_t;
/* ... etc. ... */

Hope this helps!

How to get the exact local time of client?

The most reliable way I've found to display the local time of a city or location is by tapping into a Time Zone API such as Google Time Zone API. It returns the correct time zone, and more importantly, Day Light Savings Time offset of any location, which just using JavaScript's Date() object cannot be done as far as I'm aware. There's a good tutorial on using the API to get and display the local time here:

var loc = '35.731252, 139.730291' // Tokyo expressed as lat,lng tuple
var targetDate = new Date() // Current date/time of user computer
var timestamp = targetDate.getTime() / 1000 + targetDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 // Current UTC date/time expressed as seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC
var apikey = 'YOUR_TIMEZONE_API_KEY_HERE'
var apicall = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=' + loc + '&timestamp=' + timestamp + '&key=' + apikey

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest() // create new XMLHttpRequest2 object
xhr.open('GET', apicall) // open GET request
xhr.onload = function() {
  if (xhr.status === 200) { // if Ajax request successful
    var output = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText) // convert returned JSON string to JSON object
    console.log(output.status) // log API return status for debugging purposes
    if (output.status == 'OK') { // if API reports everything was returned successfully
      var offsets = output.dstOffset * 1000 + output.rawOffset * 1000 // get DST and time zone offsets in milliseconds
      var localdate = new Date(timestamp * 1000 + offsets) // Date object containing current time of Tokyo (timestamp + dstOffset + rawOffset)
      console.log(localdate.toLocaleString()) // Display current Tokyo date and time
    }
  } else {
    alert('Request failed.  Returned status of ' + xhr.status)
  }
}
xhr.send() // send request

How to convert byte[] to InputStream?

ByteArrayInputStream extends InputStream:

InputStream myInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(myBytes); 

eclipse stuck when building workspace

I just restarted eclipse and it started working the next time.

read file in classpath

Change . to / as the path separator and use getResourceAsStream:

reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
    getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
        "com/company/app/dao/sql/SqlQueryFile.sql")));

or

reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
    getClass().getResourceAsStream(
        "/com/company/app/dao/sql/SqlQueryFile.sql")));

Note the leading slash when using Class.getResourceAsStream() vs ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream. getSystemResourceAsStream uses the system classloader which isn't what you want.

I suspect that using slashes instead of dots would work for ClassPathResource too.

Using R to download zipped data file, extract, and import data

For Mac (and I assume Linux)...

If the zip archive contains a single file, you can use the bash command funzip, in conjuction with fread from the data.table package:

library(data.table)
dt <- fread("curl http://www.newcl.org/data/zipfiles/a1.zip | funzip")

In cases where the archive contains multiple files, you can use tar instead to extract a specific file to stdout:

dt <- fread("curl http://www.newcl.org/data/zipfiles/a1.zip | tar -xf- --to-stdout *a1.dat")

What is the difference between syntax and semantics in programming languages?

Syntax is the structure or form of expressions, statements, and program units but Semantics is the meaning of those expressions, statements, and program units. Semantics follow directly from syntax. Syntax refers to the structure/form of the code that a specific programming language specifies but Semantics deal with the meaning assigned to the symbols, characters and words.

What's the fastest way of checking if a point is inside a polygon in python

You can consider shapely:

from shapely.geometry import Point
from shapely.geometry.polygon import Polygon

point = Point(0.5, 0.5)
polygon = Polygon([(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 0)])
print(polygon.contains(point))

From the methods you've mentioned I've only used the second, path.contains_points, and it works fine. In any case depending on the precision you need for your test I would suggest creating a numpy bool grid with all nodes inside the polygon to be True (False if not). If you are going to make a test for a lot of points this might be faster (although notice this relies you are making a test within a "pixel" tolerance):

from matplotlib import path
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

first = -3
size  = (3-first)/100
xv,yv = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-3,3,100),np.linspace(-3,3,100))
p = path.Path([(0,0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 0)])  # square with legs length 1 and bottom left corner at the origin
flags = p.contains_points(np.hstack((xv.flatten()[:,np.newaxis],yv.flatten()[:,np.newaxis])))
grid = np.zeros((101,101),dtype='bool')
grid[((xv.flatten()-first)/size).astype('int'),((yv.flatten()-first)/size).astype('int')] = flags

xi,yi = np.random.randint(-300,300,100)/100,np.random.randint(-300,300,100)/100
vflag = grid[((xi-first)/size).astype('int'),((yi-first)/size).astype('int')]
plt.imshow(grid.T,origin='lower',interpolation='nearest',cmap='binary')
plt.scatter(((xi-first)/size).astype('int'),((yi-first)/size).astype('int'),c=vflag,cmap='Greens',s=90)
plt.show()

, the results is this:

point inside polygon within pixel tolerance

How to access the php.ini from my CPanel?

Go to main screen. Under 'Software/Services' > 'php.ini EZConfig'.

No provider for Router?

I have also received this error when developing automatic tests for components. In this context the following import should be done:

import { RouterTestingModule } from "@angular/router/testing";

const testBedConfiguration = {
  imports: [SharedModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    RouterTestingModule.withRoutes([]),
  ],

How do I find a particular value in an array and return its index?

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
     int arr[5] = {4, 1, 3, 2, 6};
     int x = -1;
     std::vector<int> testVector(arr, arr + sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int) );

     std::vector<int>::iterator it = std::find(testVector.begin(), testVector.end(), 3);
     if (it != testVector.end())
     {
          x = it - testVector.begin();
     }
     return 0;
}

Or you can just build a vector in a normal way, without creating it from an array of ints and then use the same solution as shown in my example.

html text input onchange event

Well unless I misunderstand you can just use the onChange attribute:

<input type="text" onChange="return bar()">

Note: in FF 3 (at least) this is not called until some the user has confirmed they are changed either by clicking away from the element, clicking enter, or other.

using wildcards in LDAP search filters/queries

This should work, at least according to the Search Filter Syntax article on MSDN network.

The "hang-up" you have noticed is probably just a delay. Try running the same query with narrower scope (for example the specific OU where the test object is located), as it may take very long time for processing if you run it against all AD objects.

You may also try separating the filter into two parts:

(|(displayName=*searchstring)(displayName=searchstring*))

Best way to create enum of strings?

Depending on what you mean by "use them as Strings", you might not want to use an enum here. In most cases, the solution proposed by The Elite Gentleman will allow you to use them through their toString-methods, e.g. in System.out.println(STRING_ONE) or String s = "Hello "+STRING_TWO, but when you really need Strings (e.g. STRING_ONE.toLowerCase()), you might prefer defining them as constants:

public interface Strings{
  public static final String STRING_ONE = "ONE";
  public static final String STRING_TWO = "TWO";      
}

How to test the `Mosquitto` server?

In separate terminal windows do the following:

  1. Start the broker:

    mosquitto
    
  2. Start the command line subscriber:

    mosquitto_sub -v -t 'test/topic'
    
  3. Publish test message with the command line publisher:

    mosquitto_pub -t 'test/topic' -m 'helloWorld'
    

As well as seeing both the subscriber and publisher connection messages in the broker terminal the following should be printed in the subscriber terminal:

test/topic helloWorld

VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for both all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)

If you're on 32-bit machine don't allow more than 3584 MB of RAM and it will run.

Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23

I have followed instructions found here and tried to fix my old Eclipse + SDK + ADT, but with no luck. The basic problem keeps beeing the same; I still get the error message:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 23.0.0 or above. Current version is 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206. Please update ADT to the latest version.

But my eclipse can't find updates and can't install ADT 23 as new software. So I can't compile my old project in my workspace.

I tested a fresh eclipode bundle for Windows 8, followed instructions found from Android's developers page, step by step, and it worked fine. So it seems that the Windows Eclipse build is not broken. But I wan't use my Linux installation, my old Ubuntu 10. It seems obvious, that to getting the Linux Eclipse environment working again, I must install a new Eclipse bundle, my old Eclipse won't ever see updates for ADT 23 to get things working. Again, these intructions are for Linux developers that wan't to get their old workspace projects working again without changes in the developing environment, except you must install a new Eclipse bundle, but after that your projects will work as well as before the version 23 SDK/ADT-mess.

  1. If you are an Android developer you want to be sure, that you developing environment won't be messed up. Backup:
    • ~./android (Here are your developer keys)
    • Your old SDK dirrectory
    • Your workspace
  2. Download the Eclipse bundle, Get the Android SDK.
  3. Follow instructions, create directory ~/Development and unzip bundle there. You get Eclipse and SDK directories.
  4. Start Eclipse from that directory
  5. Eclipse asks for a workspace. You can give it the old one.
  6. In Eclipse settings set SDK as downloaded SDK.
  7. Start Android SDK manager and download tools, Android versions you use and extras said in the Android developer tool page instructions
  8. You should now be ready to compile your old projects again, but for me it was not that simple. My old projects had errors. So open problems windows and you get to know that annotation.jar is missing. So you must copy annotations.jar from your old SDK, from, the backup you made, or from the older sdk.zip explained in this thread to <new SDK>/tools/support/annotations.jar

After that I could use my old workspace in Ubuntu and compile and launch applications to Android devices. It was that simple. Thanks Google ;-(

Resolve absolute path from relative path and/or file name

Small improvement to BrainSlugs83's excellent solution. Generalized to allow naming the output environment variable in the call.

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Example input value.
set RelativePath=doc\build

rem Resolve path.
call :ResolvePath AbsolutePath %RelativePath%

rem Output result.
echo %AbsolutePath%

rem End.
exit /b

rem === Functions ===

rem Resolve path to absolute.
rem Param 1: Name of output variable.
rem Param 2: Path to resolve.
rem Return: Resolved absolute path.
:ResolvePath
    set %1=%~dpfn2
    exit /b

If run from C:\project output is:

C:\project\doc\build

Dots in URL causes 404 with ASP.NET mvc and IIS

I believe you have to set the property relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping in your web.config. Haack wrote an article about this a little while ago (and there are some other SO posts asking the same types of question)

<system.web>
<httpRuntime relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping="true" />

Edit From the comments below, later versions of .NET / IIS may require this to be in the system.WebServer element.

<system.webServer>
<httpRuntime relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping="true" />

How do you execute an arbitrary native command from a string?

The accepted answer wasn't working for me when trying to parse the registry for uninstall strings, and execute them. Turns out I didn't need the call to Invoke-Expression after all.

I finally came across this nice template for seeing how to execute uninstall strings:

$path = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'
$app = 'MyApp'
$apps= @{}
Get-ChildItem $path | 
    Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.getvalue('DisplayName') -like $app} | 
    ForEach-Object -process {$apps.Set_Item(
        $_.getvalue('UninstallString'),
        $_.getvalue('DisplayName'))
    }

foreach ($uninstall_string in $apps.GetEnumerator()) {
    $uninstall_app, $uninstall_arg = $uninstall_string.name.split(' ')
    & $uninstall_app $uninstall_arg
}

This works for me, namely because $app is an in house application that I know will only have two arguments. For more complex uninstall strings you may want to use the join operator. Also, I just used a hash-map, but really, you'd probably want to use an array.

Also, if you do have multiple versions of the same application installed, this uninstaller will cycle through them all at once, which confuses MsiExec.exe, so there's that too.

How to increase the timeout period of web service in asp.net?

you can do this in different ways:

  1. Setting a timeout in the web service caller from code (not 100% sure but I think I have seen this done);
  2. Setting a timeout in the constructor of the web service proxy in the web references;
  3. Setting a timeout in the server side, web.config of the web service application.

see here for more details on the second case:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647786.aspx#scalenetchapt10_topic14

and here for details on the last case:

How to display the string html contents into webbrowser control?

The DisplayHtml(string html) recommended by m3z worked for me.

In case it helps somebody, I would also like to mention that initially there were some spaces in my HTML that invalidated the HTML and so the text appeared as a string. The spaces were introduced (around the angular brackets) when I pasted the HTML into Visual Studio. So if your text is still appearing as text after you try the solutions mentioned in this post, then it may be worth checking that the HTML syntax is correct.

How to change bower's default components folder?

Try putting the components.json file in the public directory of your application, rather than the root directory, then re-run bower install ...try this in your app home directory:

m2eclipse error

My issue was that eclipse could not find the mvn.bat file within the installation directory. The solution is to create a mvn.bat file with the following code:

"%~dp0\mvn.cmd" %*

Save that file. Place it inside the [Maven Installation Folder]\bin directory.

How do I pass data to Angular routed components?

Solution with ActiveRoute (if you want pass object by route - use JSON.stringfy/JSON.parse):

Prepare object before sending:

export class AdminUserListComponent {

  users : User[];

  constructor( private router : Router) { }

  modifyUser(i) {

    let navigationExtras: NavigationExtras = {
      queryParams: {
          "user": JSON.stringify(this.users[i])
      }
    };

    this.router.navigate(["admin/user/edit"],  navigationExtras);
  }

}

Receive your object in destination component:

export class AdminUserEditComponent  {

  userWithRole: UserWithRole;      

  constructor( private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    super.ngOnInit();

      this.route.queryParams.subscribe(params => {
        this.userWithRole.user = JSON.parse(params["user"]);
      });
  }

}

Progress during large file copy (Copy-Item & Write-Progress?)

I amended the code from stej (which was great, just what i needed!) to use larger buffer, [long] for larger files and used System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class to track elapsed time and estimate time remaining.

Also added reporting of transfer rate during transfer and outputting overall elapsed time and overall transfer rate.

Using 4MB (4096*1024 bytes) buffer to get better than Win7 native throughput copying from NAS to USB stick on laptop over wifi.

On To-Do list:

  • add error handling (catch)
  • handle get-childitem file list as input
  • nested progress bars when copying multiple files (file x of y, % if total data copied etc)
  • input parameter for buffer size

Feel free to use/improve :-)

Find the last time table was updated

If you're talking about last time the table was updated in terms of its structured has changed (new column added, column changed etc.) - use this query:

SELECT name, [modify_date] FROM sys.tables

If you're talking about DML operations (insert, update, delete), then you either need to persist what that DMV gives you on a regular basis, or you need to create triggers on all tables to record that "last modified" date - or check out features like Change Data Capture in SQL Server 2008 and newer.

Where is the application.properties file in a Spring Boot project?

Spring Boot will automatically find and load application.properties and application.yaml files from the following locations when your application starts:

  1. The classpath root
  2. The classpath /config package
  3. The current directory
  4. The /config subdirectory in the current directory
  5. Immediate child directories of the /config subdirectory

The list is ordered by precedence (with values from lower items overriding earlier ones).

More info you can find here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-external-config-files

MySQL Cannot drop index needed in a foreign key constraint

If you mean that you can do this:

CREATE TABLE mytable_d (
ID          TINYINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Name        VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE(Name)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;


ALTER TABLE mytable
ADD COLUMN DID tinyint(5) NOT NULL,
ADD CONSTRAINT mytable_ibfk_4 
      FOREIGN KEY (DID) 
        REFERENCES mytable_d (ID) ON DELETE CASCADE;

 > OK.

But then:

ALTER TABLE mytable
DROP KEY AID ;

gives error.


You can drop the index and create a new one in one ALTER TABLE statement:

ALTER TABLE mytable
DROP KEY AID ,
ADD UNIQUE KEY AID (AID, BID, CID, DID);

What is REST? Slightly confused

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

The basic idea is that instead of having an ongoing connection to the server, you make a request, get some data, show that to a user, but maybe not all of it, and then when the user does something which calls for more data, or to pass some up to the server, the client initiates a change to a new state.

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xa3' in file when function returns '£'

First add the # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- line to the beginning of the file and then use u'foo' for all your non-ASCII unicode data:

or use the magic available since Python 2.6 to make it automatic:

from __future__ import unicode_literals

Active Directory LDAP Query by sAMAccountName and Domain

First, modify your search filter to only look for users and not contacts:

(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=BTYNDALL))

You can enumerate all of the domains of a forest by connecting to the configuration partition and enumerating all the entries in the partitions container. Sorry I don't have any C# code right now but here is some vbscript code I've used in the past:

Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
AdComm.Properties("Sort on") = "name"
AdComm.CommandText = "<LDAP://cn=Partitions," & _
    objRootDSE.Get("ConfigurationNamingContext") & ">;" & _
        "(&(objectcategory=crossRef)(systemFlags=3));" & _
            "name,nCName,dnsRoot;onelevel"
set AdRs = AdComm.Execute

From that you can retrieve the name and dnsRoot of each partition:

AdRs.MoveFirst
With AdRs
  While Not .EOF
    dnsRoot = .Fields("dnsRoot")

    Set objOption = Document.createElement("OPTION")
    objOption.Text = dnsRoot(0)
    objOption.Value = "LDAP://" & dnsRoot(0) & "/" & .Fields("nCName").Value
    Domain.Add(objOption)
    .MoveNext 
  Wend 
End With

org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing

I had a similar problem and although I made sure that referenced entities were saved first it keeps failing with the same exception. After hours of investigation it turns out that the problem was because the "version" column of the referenced entity was NULL. In my particular setup i was inserting it first in an HSQLDB(that was a unit test) a row like that:

INSERT INTO project VALUES (1,1,'2013-08-28 13:05:38','2013-08-28 13:05:38','aProject','aa',NULL,'bb','dd','ee','ff','gg','ii',NULL,'LEGACY','0','CREATED',NULL,NULL,1,'0',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'0','0', NULL);

The problem of the above is the version column used by hibernate was set to null, so even if the object was correctly saved, Hibernate considered it as unsaved. When making sure the version had a NON-NULL(1 in this case) value the exception disappeared and everything worked fine.

I am putting it here in case someone else had the same problem, since this took me a long time to figure this out and the solution is completely different than the above.

Update span tag value with JQuery

Tag ids must be unique. You are updating the span with ID 'ItemCostSpan' of which there are two. Give the span a class and get it using find.

    $("legend").each(function() {
        var SoftwareItem = $(this).text();
        itemCost = GetItemCost(SoftwareItem);
        $("input:checked").each(function() {               
            var Component = $(this).next("label").text();
            itemCost += GetItemCost(Component);
        });            
        $(this).find(".ItemCostSpan").text("Item Cost = $ " + itemCost);
    });

How to create a DB for MongoDB container on start up?

Here's a working solution that creates admin-user user with a password, additional database (test-database), and test-user in that database.

Dockerfile:

FROM mongo:4.0.3

ENV MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME admin-user
ENV MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD admin-password
ENV MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE admin

ADD mongo-init.js /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

mongo-init.js:

db.auth('admin-user', 'admin-password')

db = db.getSiblingDB('test-database')

db.createUser({
  user: 'test-user',
  pwd: 'test-password',
  roles: [
    {
      role: 'root',
      db: 'test-database',
    },
  ],
});

The tricky part was to understand that *.js files were run unauthenticated. The solution authenticates the script as the admin-user in the admin database. MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE admin is essential, otherwise the script would be executed against the test db. Check the source code of docker-entrypoint.sh.

How to indent/format a selection of code in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl + Shift + F

F1 → open Keyboard Shortcuts → search for 'Indent Line', and change keybinding to Tab.

Xcopy Command excluding files and folders

Just give full path to exclusion file: eg..

-- no - - - - -xcopy c:\t1 c:\t2 /EXCLUDE:list-of-excluded-files.txt

correct - - - xcopy c:\t1 c:\t2 /EXCLUDE:C:\list-of-excluded-files.txt

In this example the file would be located " C:\list-of-excluded-files.txt "

or...

correct - - - xcopy c:\t1 c:\t2 /EXCLUDE:C:\mybatch\list-of-excluded-files.txt

In this example the file would be located " C:\mybatch\list-of-excluded-files.txt "

Full path fixes syntax error.

How do you use math.random to generate random ints?

For your code to compile you need to cast the result to an int.

However, if you instead use the java.util.Random class it has built in method for you

Random random = new Random();
int abc = random.nextInt(100);

How to compare two dates in Objective-C

Cocoa has couple of methods for this:

in NSDate

– isEqualToDate:  
– earlierDate:  
– laterDate:  
– compare:

When you use - (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSDate *)anotherDate ,you get back one of these:

The receiver and anotherDate are exactly equal to each other, NSOrderedSame
The receiver is later in time than anotherDate, NSOrderedDescending
The receiver is earlier in time than anotherDate, NSOrderedAscending.

example:

NSDate * now = [NSDate date];
NSDate * mile = [[NSDate alloc] initWithString:@"2001-03-24 10:45:32 +0600"];
NSComparisonResult result = [now compare:mile];

NSLog(@"%@", now);
NSLog(@"%@", mile);

switch (result)
{
    case NSOrderedAscending: NSLog(@"%@ is in future from %@", mile, now); break;
    case NSOrderedDescending: NSLog(@"%@ is in past from %@", mile, now); break;
    case NSOrderedSame: NSLog(@"%@ is the same as %@", mile, now); break;
    default: NSLog(@"erorr dates %@, %@", mile, now); break;
}

[mile release];

How to use the COLLATE in a JOIN in SQL Server?

As a general rule, you can use Database_Default collation so you don't need to figure out which one to use. However, I strongly suggest reading Simons Liew's excellent article Understanding the COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT clause in SQL Server

The most efficient way to implement an integer based power function pow(int, int)

In case you know the exponent (and it is an integer) at compile-time, you can use templates to unroll the loop. This can be made more efficient, but I wanted to demonstrate the basic principle here:

#include <iostream>

template<unsigned long N>
unsigned long inline exp_unroll(unsigned base) {
    return base * exp_unroll<N-1>(base);
}

We terminate the recursion using a template specialization:

template<>
unsigned long inline exp_unroll<1>(unsigned base) {
    return base;
}

The exponent needs to be known at runtime,

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
    std::cout << argv[1] <<"**5= " << exp_unroll<5>(atoi(argv[1])) << ;std::endl;

you are getting math domain error for either one of the reason : either you are trying to use a negative number inside log function or a zero value.

Warning: mysqli_select_db() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in C:\

mysqli_select_db() should have 2 parameters, the connection link and the database name -

mysqli_select_db($con, 'phpcadet') or die(mysqli_error($con));

Using mysqli_error in the die statement will tell you exactly what is wrong as opposed to a generic error message.

MVC 4 - Return error message from Controller - Show in View

Thanks for all the replies.

I was able to solve this by doing the following:

CONTROLLER:

[HttpPost]       
public ActionResult form_edit(FormModels model)
{
  model.error_msg = model.update_content(model);
  return RedirectToAction("Form_edit", "Form", model);
}

public ActionResult form_edit(FormModels model, string searchString,string id)
{
  string test = model.selectedvalue;
  var bal = new FormModels();
  bal.Countries = bal.get_contentdetails(searchString);
  bal.selectedvalue = id;
  bal.dd_text = "content_name";
  bal.dd_value = "content_id";

  test = model.error_msg;
  ViewBag.head = "Heading";

  if (model.error_msg != null)
  {
    ModelState.AddModelError("error_msg", test);
  }

  model.error_msg = "";
  return View(bal);
}   

VIEW:

Concatenate two slices in Go

I think it's important to point out and to know that if the destination slice (the slice you append to) has sufficient capacity, the append will happen "in-place", by reslicing the destination (reslicing to increase its length in order to be able to accommodate the appendable elements).

This means that if the destination was created by slicing a bigger array or slice which has additional elements beyond the length of the resulting slice, they may get overwritten.

To demonstrate, see this example:

a := [10]int{1, 2}
fmt.Printf("a: %v\n", a)

x, y := a[:2], []int{3, 4}
fmt.Printf("x: %v, y: %v\n", x, y)
fmt.Printf("cap(x): %v\n", cap(x))

x = append(x, y...)
fmt.Printf("x: %v\n", x)

fmt.Printf("a: %v\n", a)

Output (try it on the Go Playground):

a: [1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
x: [1 2], y: [3 4]
cap(x): 10
x: [1 2 3 4]
a: [1 2 3 4 0 0 0 0 0 0]

We created a "backing" array a with length 10. Then we create the x destination slice by slicing this a array, y slice is created using the composite literal []int{3, 4}. Now when we append y to x, the result is the expected [1 2 3 4], but what may be surprising is that the backing array a also changed, because capacity of x is 10 which is sufficient to append y to it, so x is resliced which will also use the same a backing array, and append() will copy elements of y into there.

If you want to avoid this, you may use a full slice expression which has the form

a[low : high : max]

which constructs a slice and also controls the resulting slice's capacity by setting it to max - low.

See the modified example (the only difference is that we create x like this: x = a[:2:2]:

a := [10]int{1, 2}
fmt.Printf("a: %v\n", a)

x, y := a[:2:2], []int{3, 4}
fmt.Printf("x: %v, y: %v\n", x, y)
fmt.Printf("cap(x): %v\n", cap(x))

x = append(x, y...)
fmt.Printf("x: %v\n", x)

fmt.Printf("a: %v\n", a)

Output (try it on the Go Playground)

a: [1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
x: [1 2], y: [3 4]
cap(x): 2
x: [1 2 3 4]
a: [1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

As you can see, we get the same x result but the backing array a did not change, because capacity of x was "only" 2 (thanks to the full slice expression a[:2:2]). So to do the append, a new backing array is allocated that can store the elements of both x and y, which is distinct from a.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ggplot2 and for data.table

After a wild goose chase with tons of Google searches and burteforce attempts, I think I found how to solve this problem.

Steps undertaken to solve the problem:

  1. Uninstall R
  2. Reinstall R
  3. Install ggplot with the dependencies argument to install.packages set to TRUE

    install.packages("ggplot2",dependencies = TRUE)

  4. The above step still does NOT include the Rcpp dependency so that has to be manually installed using the following command

    install.packages("Rcpp")

However, while the above command successfully downloads Rcpp, for some reason, it fails to explode the ZIP file and install it in my R's library folder citing the following error:

package ‘Rcpp’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Warning in install.packages : unable to move temporary installation ‘C:\Root_Prgs\Data_Science_SW\R\R-3.2.3\library\file27b8ef47b6d\Rcpp’ to ‘C:\Root_Prgs\Data_Science_SW\R\R-3.2.3\library\Rcpp’

The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\MY_USER_ID\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp25XQ0S\downloaded_packages

  1. Note that the above output says "Warning" but actually, it is an indication of failure to install the Rcpp package successfully within the repository. I then used the Tools-->Install packages--> From ZIP file and pointed to the location of the "downloaded binary packages" in the message above -

C:\Users\MY_USER_ID\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp25XQ0S\downloaded_packages\Rcpp_0.12.3.zip

  1. This led to successful installation of Rcpp in my R\R-3.2.3\library folder, thereby ensuring that Rcpp is now available when I attempt to load the library for ggplot2. I could not do this step in the past because my previous installation of R would throw error stating that Rcpp cannot be imported. However, the same command worked after I uninstalled and reinstalled R, which is ODD.

    install.packages("C:/Users/MY_USER_ID/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp25XQ0S/downloaded_packages/Rcpp_0.12.3.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary") package ‘Rcpp’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked`

  2. I was finally able to load the ggplot2 library successfully.

How to break nested loops in JavaScript?

There are at least five different ways to break out of two or more loops:

1) Set parent(s) loop to the end

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        if (j === 2)
        {
            i = 5;
            break;
        }
    }
}

2) Use label

fast:
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        if (j === 2)
            break fast;
    }
}

3) Use variable

var exit_loops = false;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        if (j === 2)
        {
            exit_loops = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (exit_loops)
        break;
}

4) Use self executing function

(function()
{
    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
        {
             if (j === 2)
                 return;
        }
    }
})();

5) Use regular function

function nested_loops()
{
    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
        {
             if (j === 2)
                 return;
        }
    }
}
nested_loops();

How to make a Java Generic method static?

I'll explain it in a simple way.

Generics defined at Class level are completely separate from the generics defined at the (static) method level.

class Greet<T> {

    public static <T> void sayHello(T obj) {
        System.out.println("Hello " + obj);
    }
}

When you see the above code anywhere, please note that the T defined at the class level has nothing to do with the T defined in the static method. The following code is also completely valid and equivalent to the above code.

class Greet<T> {

    public static <E> void sayHello(E obj) {
        System.out.println("Hello " + obj);
    }
}

Why the static method needs to have its own generics separate from those of the Class?

This is because, the static method can be called without even instantiating the Class. So if the Class is not yet instantiated, we do not yet know what is T. This is the reason why the static methods needs to have its own generics.

So, whenever you are calling the static method,

Greet.sayHello("Bob");
Greet.sayHello(123);

JVM interprets it as the following.

Greet.<String>sayHello("Bob");
Greet.<Integer>sayHello(123);

Both giving the same outputs.

Hello Bob
Hello 123

Is there a way I can capture my iPhone screen as a video?

i guess it is so obvious now that no one has posted this but for the noobs.... note: iPhone 4S only

just airplay to an apple tv and video mirror then output the atv to a device that can record - like tivo, dvr etc. you can also use a video out cable on the iPad [1 and 2] now

not sure if the cable works on the iPhone 4S as I havent tested that myself

its clunky but there is no other way i can see atm.

find if an integer exists in a list of integers

You should be referencing Selected not ids.Contains as the last line.

I just realized this is a formatting issue, from the OP. Regardless you should be referencing the value in Selected. I recommend adding some Console.WriteLine calls to see exactly what is being printed out on each line and also what each value is.

After your update: ids is an empty list, how is this not throwing a NullReferenceException? As it was never initialized in that code block

MySQL Delete all rows from table and reset ID to zero

If table has foreign keys then I always use following code:

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0; -- disable a foreign keys check
SET AUTOCOMMIT = 0; -- disable autocommit
START TRANSACTION; -- begin transaction

/*
DELETE FROM table_name;
ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;
-- or
TRUNCATE table_name;
-- or
DROP TABLE table_name;
CREATE TABLE table_name ( ... );
*/

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1; -- enable a foreign keys check
COMMIT;  -- make a commit
SET AUTOCOMMIT = 1 ;

But difference will be in execution time. Look at above Sorin's answer.

How to add an image in the title bar using html?

According to wikipedia, the most browser-compatible incantation is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

After that, you just need to worry about whether your browser is actually downloading the icon. What do the server logs say? Have you checked your browsers network debugging console?

CSS to line break before/after a particular `inline-block` item

I accomplished this by creating a ::before selector for the first inline element in the row, and making that selector a block with a top or bottom margin to separate rows a little bit.

.1st_item::before
{
  content:"";
  display:block;
  margin-top: 5px;
}

.1st_item
{
  color:orange;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-right: 1em;
}

.2nd_item
{
  color: blue;
}

When should I use a List vs a LinkedList

My previous answer was not enough accurate. As truly it was horrible :D But now I can post much more useful and correct answer.


I did some additional tests. You can find it's source by the following link and reCheck it on your environment by your own: https://github.com/ukushu/DataStructuresTestsAndOther.git

Short results:

  • Array need to use:

    • So often as possible. It's fast and takes smallest RAM range for same amount information.
    • If you know exact count of cells needed
    • If data saved in array < 85000 b (85000/32 = 2656 elements for integer data)
    • If needed high Random Access speed
  • List need to use:

    • If needed to add cells to the end of list (often)
    • If needed to add cells in the beginning/middle of the list (NOT OFTEN)
    • If data saved in array < 85000 b (85000/32 = 2656 elements for integer data)
    • If needed high Random Access speed
  • LinkedList need to use:

    • If needed to add cells in the beginning/middle/end of the list (often)
    • If needed only sequential access (forward/backward)
    • If you need to save LARGE items, but items count is low.
    • Better do not use for large amount of items, as it's use additional memory for links.

More details:

??????? ???? ???????? ??????????? Interesting to know:

  1. LinkedList<T> internally is not a List in .NET. It's even does not implement IList<T>. And that's why there are absent indexes and methods related to indexes.

  2. LinkedList<T> is node-pointer based collection. In .NET it's in doubly linked implementation. This means that prior/next elements have link to current element. And data is fragmented -- different list objects can be located in different places of RAM. Also there will be more memory used for LinkedList<T> than for List<T> or Array.

  3. List<T> in .Net is Java's alternative of ArrayList<T>. This means that this is array wrapper. So it's allocated in memory as one contiguous block of data. If allocated data size exceeds 85000 bytes, it will be moved to Large Object Heap. Depending on the size, this can lead to heap fragmentation(a mild form of memory leak). But in the same time if size < 85000 bytes -- this provides a very compact and fast-access representation in memory.

  4. Single contiguous block is preferred for random access performance and memory consumption but for collections that need to change size regularly a structure such as an Array generally need to be copied to a new location whereas a linked list only needs to manage the memory for the newly inserted/deleted nodes.

jQuery .attr("disabled", "disabled") not working in Chrome

For me, none of these answers worked, but I finally found one that did.

I needed this for IE-

$('input:text').attr("disabled", 'disabled');

I also had to add this for Chrome and Firefox -

$('input:text').AddClass("notactive");

and this -

<style type="text/css">
    .notactive {
        pointer-events: none;
        cursor: default;
    }
 </style>

npm global path prefix

brew should not require you to use sudo even when running npm with -g. This might actually create more problems down the road.

Typically, brew or port let you update you path so it doesn't risk messing up your .zshrc, .bashrc, .cshrc, or whatever flavor of shell you use.

C# Equivalent of SQL Server DataTypes

In case anybody is looking for methods to convert from/to C# and SQL Server formats, here goes a simple implementation:

private readonly string[] SqlServerTypes = { "bigint", "binary", "bit",  "char", "date",     "datetime", "datetime2", "datetimeoffset", "decimal", "filestream", "float",  "geography",                              "geometry",                              "hierarchyid",                              "image",  "int", "money",   "nchar",  "ntext",  "numeric", "nvarchar", "real",   "rowversion", "smalldatetime", "smallint", "smallmoney", "sql_variant", "text",   "time",     "timestamp", "tinyint", "uniqueidentifier", "varbinary", "varchar", "xml" };

{
    var index = Array.IndexOf(SqlServerTypes, typeName);

    return index > -1
        ? CSharpTypes[index]

Applied and it is working fine.

How to re-render flatlist?

Use the extraData property on your FlatList component.

As the documentation states:

By passing extraData={this.state} to FlatList we make sure FlatList will re-render itself when the state.selected changes. Without setting this prop, FlatList would not know it needs to re-render any items because it is also a PureComponent and the prop comparison will not show any changes.

Get a CSS value with JavaScript

If you set it programmatically you can just call it like a variable (i.e. document.getElementById('image_1').style.top). Otherwise, you can always use jQuery:

<html>
    <body>
        <div id="test" style="height: 100px;">Test</div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            alert($("#test").css("height"));
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

disable textbox using jquery?

MVC 4 @Html.CheckBoxFor generally people want to action on check and uncheck of mvc checkbox.

<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.IsAll, new { id = "cbAllEmp" })
</div>

you can define id for the controls you want to change and in javascript do the folowing

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#cbAllEmp").click("", function () {
            if ($("#cbAllEmp").prop("checked") == true) {
                    $("#txtEmpId").hide();
                    $("#lblEmpId").hide();
                }
                else {
                    $("#txtEmpId").show();
                    $("#txtEmpId").val("");
                    $("#lblEmpId").show();
             }
        });
    });

you can also change the property like

$("#txtEmpId").prop("disabled", true); 
$("#txtEmpId").prop("readonly", true); 

Where can I find documentation on formatting a date in JavaScript?

I made this very simple formatter, it's cut/n/pastable (Updated with neater version):

function DateFmt(fstr) {
  this.formatString = fstr

  var mthNames = ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"];
  var dayNames = ["Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"];
  var zeroPad = function(number) {
     return ("0"+number).substr(-2,2);
  }

  var dateMarkers = {
    d:['getDate',function(v) { return zeroPad(v)}],
    m:['getMonth',function(v) { return zeroPad(v+1)}],
    n:['getMonth',function(v) { return mthNames[v]; }],
    w:['getDay',function(v) { return dayNames[v]; }],
    y:['getFullYear'],
    H:['getHours',function(v) { return zeroPad(v)}],
    M:['getMinutes',function(v) { return zeroPad(v)}],
    S:['getSeconds',function(v) { return zeroPad(v)}],
    i:['toISOString']
  };

  this.format = function(date) {
    var dateTxt = this.formatString.replace(/%(.)/g, function(m, p) {
      var rv = date[(dateMarkers[p])[0]]()

      if ( dateMarkers[p][1] != null ) rv = dateMarkers[p][1](rv)

      return rv

    });

    return dateTxt
  }

}

fmt = new DateFmt("%w %d:%n:%y - %H:%M:%S  %i")
v = fmt.format(new Date())

ASP.NET Core Get Json Array using IConfiguration

Add a level in your appsettings.json :

{
  "MySettings": {
    "MyArray": [
      "str1",
      "str2",
      "str3"
    ]
  }
}

Create a class representing your section :

public class MySettings
{
     public List<string> MyArray {get; set;}
}

In your application startup class, bind your model an inject it in the DI service :

services.Configure<MySettings>(options => Configuration.GetSection("MySettings").Bind(options));

And in your controller, get your configuration data from the DI service :

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly List<string> _myArray;

    public HomeController(IOptions<MySettings> mySettings)
    {
        _myArray = mySettings.Value.MyArray;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return Json(_myArray);
    }
}

You can also store your entire configuration model in a property in your controller, if you need all the data :

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly MySettings _mySettings;

    public HomeController(IOptions<MySettings> mySettings)
    {
        _mySettings = mySettings.Value;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return Json(_mySettings.MyArray);
    }
}

The ASP.NET Core's dependency injection service works just like a charm :)

Installing Bower on Ubuntu

First of all install nodejs:

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Then install npm:

sudo apt-get install npm

Then install bower:

npm install -g bower

For any of the npm package tutorial visit: https://www.npmjs.com/

Here just search the package and you can find how to install, documentation and tutorials as well.

P.S. This is just a very common solution. If your problem still exists you can try the advanced one.

NSNotificationCenter addObserver in Swift

A nice way of doing this is to use the addObserver(forName:object:queue:using:) method rather than the addObserver(_:selector:name:object:) method that is often used from Objective-C code. The advantage of the first variant is that you don't have to use the @objc attribute on your method:

    func batteryLevelChanged(notification: Notification) {
        // do something useful with this information
    }

    let observer = NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
        forName: NSNotification.Name.UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChange,
        object: nil, queue: nil,
        using: batteryLevelChanged)

and you can even just use a closure instead of a method if you want:

    let observer = NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
        forName: NSNotification.Name.UIDeviceBatteryLevelDidChange,
        object: nil, queue: nil) { _ in print("") }

You can use the returned value to stop listening for the notification later:

    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(observer)

There used to be another advantage in using this method, which was that it doesn't require you to use selector strings which couldn't be statically checked by the compiler and so were fragile to breaking if the method is renamed, but Swift 2.2 and later include #selector expressions that fix that problem.

Mockito match any class argument

the solution from millhouse is not working anymore with recent version of mockito

This solution work with java 8 and mockito 2.2.9

where ArgumentMatcher is an instanceof org.mockito.ArgumentMatcher

public class ClassOrSubclassMatcher<T> implements ArgumentMatcher<Class<T>> {

   private final Class<T> targetClass;

    public ClassOrSubclassMatcher(Class<T> targetClass) {
        this.targetClass = targetClass;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean matches(Class<T> obj) {
        if (obj != null) {
            if (obj instanceof Class) {
                return targetClass.isAssignableFrom( obj);
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

And the use

when(a.method(ArgumentMatchers.argThat(new ClassOrSubclassMatcher<>(A.class)))).thenReturn(b);

How to fix height of TR?

Setting the td height to less than the natural height of its content

Since table cells want to be at least big enough to encase their content, if the content has no apparent height, the cells can be arbitrarily resized.

By resizing the cells, we can control the row height.

One way to do this, is to set the content with an absolute position within the relative cell, and set the height of the cell, and the left and top of the content.

The table-layout property

The second table in the snippet above has table-layout: fixed applied, which causes cells to be given equal width, regardless of their content, within the parent.

According to caniuse.com, there are no significant compatibility issues regarding the use of table-layout as of Sept 12, 2019.

Or simply apply width to specific cells as in the third table.

These methods allow the cell containing the effectively sizeless content created by applying position: absolute to be given some arbitrary girth.

Much more simply...

I really should have thought of this from the start; we can manipulate block level table cell content in all the usual ways, and without completely destroying the content's natural size with position: absolute, we can leave the table to figure out what the width should be.

Instantly detect client disconnection from server socket

Since there are no events available to signal when the socket is disconnected, you will have to poll it at a frequency that is acceptable to you.

Using this extension method, you can have a reliable method to detect if a socket is disconnected.

static class SocketExtensions
{
  public static bool IsConnected(this Socket socket)
  {
    try
    {
      return !(socket.Poll(1, SelectMode.SelectRead) && socket.Available == 0);
    }
    catch (SocketException) { return false; }
  }
}

How to stop a JavaScript for loop?

Use for of loop instead which is part of ES2015 release. Unlike forEach, we can use return, break and continue. See https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/04/es6-in-depth-iterators-and-the-for-of-loop/

How to use glOrtho() in OpenGL?

Have a look at this picture: Graphical Projections enter image description here

The glOrtho command produces an "Oblique" projection that you see in the bottom row. No matter how far away vertexes are in the z direction, they will not recede into the distance.

I use glOrtho every time I need to do 2D graphics in OpenGL (such as health bars, menus etc) using the following code every time the window is resized:

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0f, windowWidth, windowHeight, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

This will remap the OpenGL coordinates into the equivalent pixel values (X going from 0 to windowWidth and Y going from 0 to windowHeight). Note that I've flipped the Y values because OpenGL coordinates start from the bottom left corner of the window. So by flipping, I get a more conventional (0,0) starting at the top left corner of the window rather.

Note that the Z values are clipped from 0 to 1. So be careful when you specify a Z value for your vertex's position, it will be clipped if it falls outside that range. Otherwise if it's inside that range, it will appear to have no effect on the position except for Z tests.

How to encode a URL in Swift

Swift 3:

let escapedString = originalString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters:NSCharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)

Found 'OR 1=1/* sql injection in my newsletter database

'OR 1=1 is an attempt to make a query succeed no matter what
The /* is an attempt to start a multiline comment so the rest of the query is ignored.

An example would be

SELECT userid 
FROM users 
WHERE username = ''OR 1=1/*' 
    AND password = ''
    AND domain = ''

As you can see if you were to populate the username field without escaping the ' no matter what credentials the user passes in the query would return all userids in the system likely granting access to the attacker (possibly admin access if admin is your first user). You will also notice the remainder of the query would be commented out because of the /* including the real '.

The fact that you can see the value in your database means that it was escaped and that particular attack did not succeed. However, you should investigate if any other attempts were made.

Best way to use Google's hosted jQuery, but fall back to my hosted library on Google fail

UPDATE:
This answer turned out to be wrong. Please see the comments for the real explanation.


Most of you question has been answered, but as for the final part:

What would be the danger of both copies coming through?

None really. You'd waste bandwidth, might add some milliseconds downloading a second useless copy, but there's not actual harm if they both come through. You should, of course, avoid this using the techniques mentioned above.

What's the difference between a single precision and double precision floating point operation?

To add to all the wonderful answers here

First of all float and double are both used for representation of numbers fractional numbers. So, the difference between the two stems from the fact with how much precision they can store the numbers.

For example: I have to store 123.456789 One may be able to store only 123.4567 while other may be able to store the exact 123.456789.

So, basically we want to know how much accurately can the number be stored and is what we call precision.

Quoting @Alessandro here

The precision indicates the number of decimal digits that are correct, i.e. without any kind of representation error or approximation. In other words, it indicates how many decimal digits one can safely use.

Float can accurately store about 7-8 digits in the fractional part while Double can accurately store about 15-16 digits in the fractional part

So, float can store double the amount of fractional part. That is why Double is called double the float

MySQL and GROUP_CONCAT() maximum length

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

is a temporary, session-scope, setting. It only applies to the current session You should use it like this.

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;
select group_concat(column) from table group by column

You can do this even in sharing hosting, but when you use an other session, you need to repeat the SET SESSION command.

Check if input is number or letter javascript

The best and modern way is typeof (variable) if you care about real number not number from string. For example:

var a = 1;
var b = '1';

typeof a: // Output: "number"
typeof b: // Output: "string

Adding a new line/break tag in XML

Groovy String to Date

Below is the way we are going within our developing application.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

String newDateAdded = "2018-11-11T09:30:31"
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss")
Date dateAdded = dateFormat.parse(newDateAdded)

println(dateAdded)

The output looks like

Sun Nov 11 09:30:31 GMT 2018

In your example, we could adjust a bit to meet your need. If I were you, I will do:

String datePattern = "d/M/yyyy H:m:s"
String theDate = "28/09/2010 16:02:43"
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern)
println df.parse(theDate)

I hope this would help you much.

How can I use Google's Roboto font on a website?

You don't really need to do any of this.

  • Go to Google's Web Fonts page
  • search for Roboto in the search box at the top right
  • Select the variants of the font you want to use
  • click 'Select This Font' at the top and choose the weights and character sets you need.

The page will give you a <link> element to include in your pages, and a list of sample font-family rules to use in your CSS.

Using Google's fonts this way guarantees availability, and reduces bandwidth to your own server.

from list of integers, get number closest to a given value

I'll rename the function take_closest to conform with PEP8 naming conventions.

If you mean quick-to-execute as opposed to quick-to-write, min should not be your weapon of choice, except in one very narrow use case. The min solution needs to examine every number in the list and do a calculation for each number. Using bisect.bisect_left instead is almost always faster.

The "almost" comes from the fact that bisect_left requires the list to be sorted to work. Hopefully, your use case is such that you can sort the list once and then leave it alone. Even if not, as long as you don't need to sort before every time you call take_closest, the bisect module will likely come out on top. If you're in doubt, try both and look at the real-world difference.

from bisect import bisect_left

def take_closest(myList, myNumber):
    """
    Assumes myList is sorted. Returns closest value to myNumber.

    If two numbers are equally close, return the smallest number.
    """
    pos = bisect_left(myList, myNumber)
    if pos == 0:
        return myList[0]
    if pos == len(myList):
        return myList[-1]
    before = myList[pos - 1]
    after = myList[pos]
    if after - myNumber < myNumber - before:
       return after
    else:
       return before

Bisect works by repeatedly halving a list and finding out which half myNumber has to be in by looking at the middle value. This means it has a running time of O(log n) as opposed to the O(n) running time of the highest voted answer. If we compare the two methods and supply both with a sorted myList, these are the results:

$ python -m timeit -s "
from closest import take_closest
from random import randint
a = range(-1000, 1000, 10)" "take_closest(a, randint(-1100, 1100))"

100000 loops, best of 3: 2.22 usec per loop

$ python -m timeit -s "
from closest import with_min
from random import randint
a = range(-1000, 1000, 10)" "with_min(a, randint(-1100, 1100))"

10000 loops, best of 3: 43.9 usec per loop

So in this particular test, bisect is almost 20 times faster. For longer lists, the difference will be greater.

What if we level the playing field by removing the precondition that myList must be sorted? Let's say we sort a copy of the list every time take_closest is called, while leaving the min solution unaltered. Using the 200-item list in the above test, the bisect solution is still the fastest, though only by about 30%.

This is a strange result, considering that the sorting step is O(n log(n))! The only reason min is still losing is that the sorting is done in highly optimalized c code, while min has to plod along calling a lambda function for every item. As myList grows in size, the min solution will eventually be faster. Note that we had to stack everything in its favour for the min solution to win.

How to set a:link height/width with css?

Your problem is probably that a elements are display: inline by nature. You can't set the width and height of inline elements.

You would have to set display: block on the a, but that will bring other problems because the links start behaving like block elements. The most common cure to that is giving them float: left so they line up side by side anyway.

Apache Commons IO's FileUtils offers FileUtils.deleteQuietly:

Deletes a file, never throwing an exception. If file is a directory, delete it and all sub-directories. The difference between File.delete() and this method are:

  • A directory to be deleted does not have to be empty.
  • No exceptions are thrown when a file or directory cannot be deleted.

This offers a one-liner delete call that won't complain if the file fails to be deleted:

FileUtils.deleteQuietly(new File("test.txt"));

How to read a file and write into a text file?

It far easier to use the scripting runtime which is installed by default on Windows

Just go project Reference and check Microsoft Scripting Runtime and click OK.

Then you can use this code which is way better than the default file commands

Dim FSO As FileSystemObject
Dim TS As TextStream
Dim TempS As String
Dim Final As String
Set FSO = New FileSystemObject
Set TS = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis", ForReading)
'Use this for reading everything in one shot
Final = TS.ReadAll
'OR use this if you need to process each line
Do Until TS.AtEndOfStream
    TempS = TS.ReadLine
    Final = Final & TempS & vbCrLf
Loop
TS.Close

Set TS = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt", ForWriting, True)
    TS.Write Final
TS.Close
Set TS = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing

As for what is wrong with your original code here you are reading each line of the text file.

Input #iFileNo, sFileText

Then here you write it out

Write #iFileNo, sFileText

sFileText is a string variable so what is happening is that each time you read, you just replace the content of sFileText with the content of the line you just read.

So when you go to write it out, all you are writing is the last line you read, which is probably a blank line.

Dim sFileText As String
Dim sFinal as String
Dim iFileNo As Integer
iFileNo = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iFileNo
Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)
  Input #iFileNo, sFileText
sFinal = sFinal & sFileText & vbCRLF
Loop
Close #iFileNo

iFileNo = FreeFile 'Don't assume the last file number is free to use
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo
Write #iFileNo, sFinal
Close #iFileNo

Note you don't need to do a loop to write. sFinal contains the complete text of the File ready to be written at one shot. Note that input reads a LINE at a time so each line appended to sFinal needs to have a CR and LF appended at the end to be written out correctly on a MS Windows system. Other operating system may just need a LF (Chr$(10)).

If you need to process the incoming data then you need to do something like this.

Dim sFileText As String
Dim sFinal as String
Dim vTemp as Variant
Dim iFileNo As Integer
Dim C as Collection
Dim R as Collection
Dim I as Long
Set C = New Collection
Set R = New Collection

iFileNo = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iFileNo
Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)
  Input #iFileNo, sFileText
  C.Add sFileText
Loop
Close #iFileNo

For Each vTemp in C
     Process vTemp
Next sTemp

iFileNo = FreeFile
Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo
For Each vTemp in R
   Write #iFileNo, vTemp & vbCRLF
Next sTemp
Close #iFileNo

How to hide the border for specified rows of a table?

I use this with good results:

border-style:hidden;

It also works for:

border-right-style:hidden; /*if you want to hide just a border on a cell*/

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<style type="text/css">_x000D_
      table, th, td {_x000D_
       border: 2px solid green;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      tr.hide_right > td, td.hide_right{_x000D_
        border-right-style:hidden;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      tr.hide_all > td, td.hide_all{_x000D_
        border-style:hidden;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
  }_x000D_
</style>_x000D_
<table>_x000D_
  <tr>_x000D_
    <td class="hide_right">11</td>_x000D_
    <td>12</td>_x000D_
    <td class="hide_all">13</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
  <tr class="hide_right">_x000D_
    <td>21</td>_x000D_
    <td>22</td>_x000D_
    <td>23</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
  <tr class="hide_all">_x000D_
    <td>31</td>_x000D_
    <td>32</td>_x000D_
    <td>33</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
</table>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Here is the result: enter image description here

Strange "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" in Eclipse

Another occasion of when java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError may happen is during the second/subsequent attempts to instantiate the class after the first attempt failed for some other exception or error. The class loader seems to cache knowledge that it was not able to instantiate the class on the first attempt but not the reason why. Thus it reports NoClassDefFoundError.

So it's a good idea to make sure there were not errors/exceptions with an earlier attempt at instantiating the class before going down a rabbit hole trying to troubleshoot the NoClassDefFoundError.

Regular expression matching a multiline block of text

Try this:

re.compile(r"^(.+)\n((?:\n.+)+)", re.MULTILINE)

I think your biggest problem is that you're expecting the ^ and $ anchors to match linefeeds, but they don't. In multiline mode, ^ matches the position immediately following a newline and $ matches the position immediately preceding a newline.

Be aware, too, that a newline can consist of a linefeed (\n), a carriage-return (\r), or a carriage-return+linefeed (\r\n). If you aren't certain that your target text uses only linefeeds, you should use this more inclusive version of the regex:

re.compile(r"^(.+)(?:\n|\r\n?)((?:(?:\n|\r\n?).+)+)", re.MULTILINE)

BTW, you don't want to use the DOTALL modifier here; you're relying on the fact that the dot matches everything except newlines.

How to create an executable .exe file from a .m file

I developed a non-matlab software for direct compilation of m-files (TMC Compiler). This is an open-source converter of m-files projects to C. The compiler produces the C code that may be linked with provided open-source run-time library to produce a stand-alone application. The library implements a set of build-in functions; the linear-algebra operations use LAPACK code. It is possible to expand the set of the build-in functions by custom implementation as described in the documentation.

Using Address Instead Of Longitude And Latitude With Google Maps API

You can parse the geolocation through the addresses. Create an Array with jquery like this:

//follow this structure
var addressesArray = [
  'Address Str.No, Postal Area/city'
]

//loop all the addresses and call a marker for each one
for (var x = 0; x < addressesArray.length; x++) {
  $.getJSON('http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='+addressesArray[x]+'&sensor=false', null, function (data) {
    var p = data.results[0].geometry.location
    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.lat, p.lng);
    //it will place marker based on the addresses, which they will be translated as geolocations.
    var aMarker= new google.maps.Marker({
      position: latlng,
      map: map
    });
  });
}

Also please note that Google limit your results if you don't have a business account with them, and you my get an error if you use too many addresses.

What are alternatives to ExtJS?

Nothing compares to in terms of community size and presence on StackOverflow. Despite previous controversy, Ext JS now has a GPLv3 open source license. Its learning curve is long, but it can be quite rewarding once learned. Ext JS lacks a Material Design theme, and the team has repeatedly refused to release the source code on GitHub. For mobile, one must use the separate Sencha Touch library.

Have in mind also that,

large JavaScript libraries, such as YUI, have been receiving less attention from the community. Many developers today look at large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don’t want to be locked into.

-- Announcement of YUI development being ceased

That said, below are a number of Ext JS alternatives currently available.

Leading client widget libraries

  1. Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit developed by big data analytics company Palantir in TypeScript, and "optimized for building complex data-dense interfaces for desktop applications". Actively developed on GitHub as of May 2019, with comprehensive documentation. Components range from simple (chips, toast, icons) to complex (tree, data table, tag input with autocomplete, date range picker. No accordion or resizer.

    Blueprint targets modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11, and Microsoft Edge) and is licensed under a modified Apache license.

    Sandbox / demoGitHubDocs

  2. Webix - an advanced, easy to learn, mobile-friendly, responsive and rich free&open source JavaScript UI components library. Webix spun off from DHTMLX Touch (a project with 8 years of development behind it - see below) and went on to become a standalone UI components framework. The GPL3 edition allows commercial use and lets non-GPL applications using Webix keep their license, e.g. MIT, via a license exemption for FLOSS. Webix has 55 UI widgets, including trees, grids, treegrids and charts. Funding comes from a commercial edition with some advanced widgets (Pivot, Scheduler, Kanban, org chart etc.). Webix has an extensive list of free and commercial widgets, and integrates with most popular frameworks (React, Vue, Meteor, etc) and UI components.

    Webix

    Skins look modern, and include a Material Design theme. The Touch theme also looks quite Material Design-ish. See also the Skin Builder.

    Minimal GitHub presence, but includes the library code, and the documentation (which still needs major improvements). Webix suffers from a having a small team and a lack of marketing. However, they have been responsive to user feedback, both on GitHub and on their forum.

    The library was lean (128Kb gzip+minified for all 55 widgets as of ~2015), faster than ExtJS, dojo and others, and the design is pleasant-looking. The current version of Webix (v6, as of Nov 2018) got heavier (400 - 676kB minified but NOT gzipped).

    The demos on Webix.com look and function great. The developer, XB Software, uses Webix in solutions they build for paying customers, so there's likely a good, funded future ahead of it.

    Webix aims for backwards compatibility down to IE8, and as a result carries some technical debt.

  3. react-md - MIT-licensed Material Design UI components library for React. Responsive, accessible. Implements components from simple (buttons, cards) to complex (sortable tables, autocomplete, tags input, calendars). One lead author, ~1900 GitHub stars.

  4. - jQuery-based UI toolkit with 40+ basic open-source widgets, plus commercial professional widgets (grids, trees, charts etc.). Responsive&mobile support. Works with Bootstrap and AngularJS. Modern, with Material Design themes. The documentation is available on GitHub, which has enabled numerous contributions from users (4500+ commits, 500+ PRs as of Jan 2015).

    enter image description here

    Well-supported commercially, claiming millions of developers, and part of a large family of developer tools. Telerik has received many accolades, is a multi-national company (Bulgaria, US), was acquired by Progress Software, and is a thought leader.

    A Kendo UI Professional developer license costs $700 and posting access to most forums is conditioned upon having a license or being in the trial period.

    [Wikipedia] • GitHub/TelerikDemosPlaygroundTools

  5. OpenUI5 - jQuery-based UI framework with 180 widgets, Apache 2.0-licensed and fully-open sourced and funded by German software giant SAP SE.

    OpenUI5

    The community is much larger than that of Webix, SAP is hiring developers to grow OpenUI5, and they presented OpenUI5 at OSCON 2014.

    The desktop themes are rather lackluster, but the Fiori design for web and mobile looks clean and neat.

    WikipediaGitHubMobile-first controls demosDesktop controls demosSO

  6. DHTMLX - JavaScript library for building rich Web and Mobile apps. Looks most like ExtJS - check the demos. Has been developed since 2005 but still looks modern. All components except TreeGrid are available under GPLv2 but advanced features for many components are only available in the commercial PRO edition - see for example the tree. Claims to be used by many Fortune 500 companies.

    DHTMLX

    Minimal presence on GitHub (the main library code is missing) and StackOverflow but active forum. The documentation is not available on GitHub, which makes it difficult to improve by the community.

  7. Polymer, a Web Components polyfill, plus Polymer Paper, Google's implementation of the Material design. Aimed at web and mobile apps. Doesn't have advanced widgets like trees or even grids but the controls it provides are mobile-first and responsive. Used by many big players, e.g. IBM or USA Today.

    Polymer Paper Elements

  8. Ant Design claims it is "a design language for background applications", influenced by "nature" and helping designers "create low-entropy atmosphere for developer team". That's probably a poor translation from Chinese for "UI components for enterprise web applications". It's a React UI library written in TypeScript, with many components, from simple (buttons, cards) to advanced (autocomplete, calendar, tag input, table).

    The project was born in China, is popular with Chinese companies, and parts of the documentation are available only in Chinese. Quite popular on GitHub, yet it makes the mistake of splitting the community into Chinese and English chat rooms. The design looks Material-ish, but fonts are small and the information looks lost in a see of whitespace.

  9. PrimeUI - collection of 45+ rich widgets based on jQuery UI. Apache 2.0 license. Small GitHub community. 35 premium themes available.

  10. qooxdoo - "a universal JavaScript framework with a coherent set of individual components", developed and funded by German hosting provider 1&1 (see the contributors, one of the world's largest hosting companies. GPL/EPL (a business-friendly license).

    Mobile themes look modern but desktop themes look old (gradients).

  11. jQuery UI - easy to pick up; looks a bit dated; lacks advanced widgets. Of course, you can combine it with independent widgets for particular needs, e.g. trees or other UI components, but the same can be said for any other framework.

  12. + Angular UI. While Angular is backed by Google, it's being radically revamped in the upcoming 2.0 version, and "users will need to get to grips with a new kind of architecture. It's also been confirmed that there will be no migration path from Angular 1.X to 2.0". Moreover, the consensus seems to be that Angular 2 won't really be ready for use until a year or two from now. Angular UI has relatively few widgets (no trees, for example).

  13. DojoToolkit and their powerful Dijit set of widgets. Completely open-sourced and actively developed on GitHub, but development is now (Nov 2018) focused on the new dojo.io framework, which has very few basic widgets. BSD/AFL license. Development started in 2004 and the Dojo Foundation is being sponsored by IBM, Google, and others - see Wikipedia. 7500 questions here on SO.

    Dojo Dijit

    Themes look desktop-oriented and dated - see the theme tester in dijit. The official theme previewer is broken and only shows "Claro". A Bootstrap theme exists, which looks a lot like Bootstrap, but doesn't use Bootstrap classes. In Jan 2015, I started a thread on building a Material Design theme for Dojo, which got quite popular within the first hours. However, there are questions regarding building that theme for the current Dojo 1.10 vs. the next Dojo 2.0. The response to that thread shows an active and wide community, covering many time zones.

    Unfortunately, Dojo has fallen out of popularity and fewer companies appear to use it, despite having (had?) a strong foothold in the enterprise world. In 2009-2012, its learning curve was steep and the documentation needed improvements; while the documentation has substantially improved, it's unclear how easy it is to pick up Dojo nowadays.

    With a Material Design theme, Dojo (2.0?) might be the killer UI components framework.

CrossUI - cross-browser JS framework to develop and package the exactly same code and UI into Web Apps, Native Desktop Apps (Windows, OS X, Linux) and Mobile Apps (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry). Open sourced LGPL3. Featured RAD tool (form builder etc.). The UI looks desktop-, not web-oriented. Actively developed, small community. No presence on GitHub.

  18. ZinoUI - simple widgets. The DataTable, for instance, doesn't even support sorting.

  19. Wijmo - good-looking commercial widgets, with old (jQuery UI) widgets open-sourced on GitHub (their development stopped in 2013). Developed by ComponentOne, a division of GrapeCity. See Wijmo Complete vs. Open.

How do I vertically center text with CSS?

The simple and versatile way is (as Michielvoo's table approach):

[ctrv]{
    display:table !important;
}

[ctrv] > *{ /* adressing direct discendents */
      display: table-cell;
      vertical-align: middle;
      // text-align: center; /* optional */
}

Using this attribute (or a equivalent class) on a parent tag works even for many children to align:

<parent ctrv>  <ch1/>  <ch2/>   </parent>

Removing time from a Date object?

May be the below code may help people who are looking for zeroHour of the day :

    Date todayDate = new Date();
    GregorianCalendar todayDate_G = new GregorianCalendar();
    gcd.setTime(currentDate);
    int _Day    = todayDate_GC.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int _Month  = todayDate_GC.get(GregorianCalendar.MONTH);
    int _Year   = todayDate_GC.get(GregorianCalendar.YEAR);

    GregorianCalendar newDate = new GregorianCalendar(_Year,_Month,_Day,0,0,0);
    zeroHourDate = newDate.getTime();
    long zeroHourDateTime = newDate.getTimeInMillis();

Hope this will be helpful.

What is an unsigned char?

char and unsigned char aren't guaranteed to be 8-bit types on all platforms—they are guaranteed to be 8-bit or larger. Some platforms have 9-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit bytes. However, the most common platforms today (Windows, Mac, Linux x86, etc.) have 8-bit bytes.

[INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Anyone facing this while using cmake build, the solution is to make sure you have included the four supported platforms in your app module's android{} block:

 externalNativeBuild {
            cmake {
                cppFlags "-std=c++14"
                abiFilters "arm64-v8a", "x86", "armeabi-v7a", "x86_64"
            }
        }

LocalDate to java.util.Date and vice versa simplest conversion?

tl;dr

Is there a simple way to convert a LocalDate (introduced with Java 8) to java.util.Date object? By 'simple', I mean simpler than this

Nope. You did it properly, and as concisely as possible.

java.util.Date.from(                     // Convert from modern java.time class to troublesome old legacy class.  DO NOT DO THIS unless you must, to inter operate with old code not yet updated for java.time.
    myLocalDate                          // `LocalDate` class represents a date-only, without time-of-day and without time zone nor offset-from-UTC. 
    .atStartOfDay(                       // Let java.time determine the first moment of the day on that date in that zone. Never assume the day starts at 00:00:00.
        ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" )  // Specify time zone using proper name in `continent/region` format, never 3-4 letter pseudo-zones such as “PST”, “CST”, “IST”. 
    )                                    // Produce a `ZonedDateTime` object. 
    .toInstant()                         // Extract an `Instant` object, a moment always in UTC.
)

Read below for issues, and then think about it. How could it be simpler? If you ask me what time does a date start, how else could I respond but ask you “Where?”?. A new day dawns earlier in Paris FR than in Montréal CA, and still earlier in Kolkata IN, and even earlier in Auckland NZ, all different moments.

So in converting a date-only (LocalDate) to a date-time we must apply a time zone (ZoneId) to get a zoned value (ZonedDateTime), and then move into UTC (Instant) to match the definition of a java.util.Date.

Details

Firstly, avoid the old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date whenever possible. They are poorly designed, confusing, and troublesome. They were supplanted by the java.time classes for a reason, actually, for many reasons.

But if you must, you can convert to/from java.time types to the old. Look for new conversion methods added to the old classes.

Table of all date-time types in Java, both modern and legacy

java.util.Date ? java.time.LocalDate

Keep in mind that a java.util.Date is a misnomer as it represents a date plus a time-of-day, in UTC. In contrast, the LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.

Going from java.util.Date to java.time means converting to the equivalent class of java.time.Instant. The Instant class represents a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds (up to nine (9) digits of a decimal fraction).

Instant instant = myUtilDate.toInstant();

The LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.

A time zone is crucial in determining a date. For any given moment, the date varies around the globe by zone. For example, a few minutes after midnight in Paris France is a new day while still “yesterday” in Montréal Québec.

So we need to move that Instant into a time zone. We apply ZoneId to get a ZonedDateTime.

ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = instant.atZone( z );

From there, ask for a date-only, a LocalDate.

LocalDate ld = zdt.toLocalDate();

java.time.LocalDate ? java.util.Date

To move the other direction, from a java.time.LocalDate to a java.util.Date means we are going from a date-only to a date-time. So we must specify a time-of-day. You probably want to go for the first moment of the day. Do not assume that is 00:00:00. Anomalies such as Daylight Saving Time (DST) means the first moment may be another time such as 01:00:00. Let java.time determine that value by calling atStartOfDay on the LocalDate.

ZonedDateTime zdt = myLocalDate.atStartOfDay( z );

Now extract an Instant.

Instant instant = zdt.toInstant();

Convert that Instant to java.util.Date by calling from( Instant ).

java.util.Date d = java.util.Date.from( instant );

About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes. Hibernate 5 & JPA 2.2 support java.time.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

How Should I Declare Foreign Key Relationships Using Code First Entity Framework (4.1) in MVC3?

If you have an Order class, adding a property that references another class in your model, for instance Customer should be enough to let EF know there's a relationship in there:

public class Order
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    // Some other properties

    // Foreign key to customer
    public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }
}

You can always set the FK relation explicitly:

public class Order
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    // Some other properties

    // Foreign key to customer
    [ForeignKey("Customer")]
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }
}

The ForeignKeyAttribute constructor takes a string as a parameter: if you place it on a foreign key property it represents the name of the associated navigation property. If you place it on the navigation property it represents the name of the associated foreign key.

What this means is, if you where to place the ForeignKeyAttribute on the Customer property, the attribute would take CustomerID in the constructor:

public string CustomerID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("CustomerID")]
public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }

EDIT based on Latest Code You get that error because of this line:

[ForeignKey("Parent")]
public Patient Patient { get; set; }

EF will look for a property called Parent to use it as the Foreign Key enforcer. You can do 2 things:

1) Remove the ForeignKeyAttribute and replace it with the RequiredAttribute to mark the relation as required:

[Required]
public virtual Patient Patient { get; set; }

Decorating a property with the RequiredAttribute also has a nice side effect: The relation in the database is created with ON DELETE CASCADE.

I would also recommend making the property virtual to enable Lazy Loading.

2) Create a property called Parent that will serve as a Foreign Key. In that case it probably makes more sense to call it for instance ParentID (you'll need to change the name in the ForeignKeyAttribute as well):

public int ParentID { get; set; }

In my experience in this case though it works better to have it the other way around:

[ForeignKey("Patient")]
public int ParentID { get; set; }

public virtual Patient Patient { get; set; }

Jackson - How to process (deserialize) nested JSON?

I'm quite late to the party, but one approach is to use a static inner class to unwrap values:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

class Scratch {
    private final String aString;
    private final String bString;
    private final String cString;
    private final static String jsonString;

    static {
        jsonString = "{\n" +
                "  \"wrap\" : {\n" +
                "    \"A\": \"foo\",\n" +
                "    \"B\": \"bar\",\n" +
                "    \"C\": \"baz\"\n" +
                "  }\n" +
                "}";
    }

    @JsonCreator
    Scratch(@JsonProperty("A") String aString,
            @JsonProperty("B") String bString,
            @JsonProperty("C") String cString) {
        this.aString = aString;
        this.bString = bString;
        this.cString = cString;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Scratch{" +
                "aString='" + aString + '\'' +
                ", bString='" + bString + '\'' +
                ", cString='" + cString + '\'' +
                '}';
    }

    public static class JsonDeserializer {
        private final Scratch scratch;

        @JsonCreator
        public JsonDeserializer(@JsonProperty("wrap") Scratch scratch) {
            this.scratch = scratch;
        }

        public Scratch getScratch() {
            return scratch;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonProcessingException {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        Scratch scratch = objectMapper.readValue(jsonString, Scratch.JsonDeserializer.class).getScratch();
        System.out.println(scratch.toString());
    }
}

However, it's probably easier to use objectMapper.configure(SerializationConfig.Feature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true); in conjunction with @JsonRootName("aName"), as pointed out by pb2q

Find files containing a given text

Just to include one more alternative, you could also use this:

find "/starting/path" -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex "^.*\.(php|html|js)$" -exec grep -EH '(document\.cookie|setcookie)' {} \;

Where:

  • -regextype posix-extended tells find what kind of regex to expect
  • -regex "^.*\.(php|html|js)$" tells find the regex itself filenames must match
  • -exec grep -EH '(document\.cookie|setcookie)' {} \; tells find to run the command (with its options and arguments) specified between the -exec option and the \; for each file it finds, where {} represents where the file path goes in this command.

    while

    • E option tells grep to use extended regex (to support the parentheses) and...
    • H option tells grep to print file paths before the matches.

And, given this, if you only want file paths, you may use:

find "/starting/path" -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex "^.*\.(php|html|js)$" -exec grep -EH '(document\.cookie|setcookie)' {} \; | sed -r 's/(^.*):.*$/\1/' | sort -u

Where

  • | [pipe] send the output of find to the next command after this (which is sed, then sort)
  • r option tells sed to use extended regex.
  • s/HI/BYE/ tells sed to replace every First occurrence (per line) of "HI" with "BYE" and...
  • s/(^.*):.*$/\1/ tells it to replace the regex (^.*):.*$ (meaning a group [stuff enclosed by ()] including everything [.* = one or more of any-character] from the beginning of the line [^] till' the first ':' followed by anything till' the end of line [$]) by the first group [\1] of the replaced regex.
  • u tells sort to remove duplicate entries (take sort -u as optional).

...FAR from being the most elegant way. As I said, my intention is to increase the range of possibilities (and also to give more complete explanations on some tools you could use).

How to change status bar color in Flutter?

Instead of the often suggested SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle() which is a system wide service and does not reset on a different route, you can use an AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle> which is a widget and only has effect for the widget that you wrap.

AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
   value: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
      statusBarColor: Colors.white,
  ),
  child: Scaffold(
      ...
  ),
)

Are there any standard exit status codes in Linux?

sysexits.h has a list of standard exit codes. It seems to date back to at least 1993 and some big projects like Postfix use it, so I imagine it's the way to go.

From the OpenBSD man page:

According to style(9), it is not good practice to call exit(3) with arbi- trary values to indicate a failure condition when ending a program. In- stead, the pre-defined exit codes from sysexits should be used, so the caller of the process can get a rough estimation about the failure class without looking up the source code.

Datatable select with multiple conditions

Try this,
I think ,this is one of the simple solutions.

int rowIndex = table.Rows.IndexOf(table.Select("A = 'foo' AND B = 'bar' AND C = 'baz'")[0]);
string strD= Convert.ToString(table.Rows[rowIndex]["D"]);

Make sure,combination of values for column A, B and C is unique in the datatable.

Get JSF managed bean by name in any Servlet related class

In a servlet based artifact, such as @WebServlet, @WebFilter and @WebListener, you can grab a "plain vanilla" JSF @ManagedBean @RequestScoped by:

Bean bean = (Bean) request.getAttribute("beanName");

and @ManagedBean @SessionScoped by:

Bean bean = (Bean) request.getSession().getAttribute("beanName");

and @ManagedBean @ApplicationScoped by:

Bean bean = (Bean) getServletContext().getAttribute("beanName");

Note that this prerequires that the bean is already autocreated by JSF beforehand. Else these will return null. You'd then need to manually create the bean and use setAttribute("beanName", bean).


If you're able to use CDI @Named instead of the since JSF 2.3 deprecated @ManagedBean, then it's even more easy, particularly because you don't anymore need to manually create the beans:

@Inject
private Bean bean;

Note that this won't work when you're using @Named @ViewScoped because the bean can only be identified by JSF view state and that's only available when the FacesServlet has been invoked. So in a filter which runs before that, accessing an @Injected @ViewScoped will always throw ContextNotActiveException.


Only when you're inside @ManagedBean, then you can use @ManagedProperty:

@ManagedProperty("#{bean}")
private Bean bean;

Note that this doesn't work inside a @Named or @WebServlet or any other artifact. It really works inside @ManagedBean only.


If you're not inside a @ManagedBean, but the FacesContext is readily available (i.e. FacesContext#getCurrentInstance() doesn't return null), you can also use Application#evaluateExpressionGet():

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Bean bean = context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{beanName}", Bean.class);

which can be convenienced as follows:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static <T> T findBean(String beanName) {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    return (T) context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{" + beanName + "}", Object.class);
}

and can be used as follows:

Bean bean = findBean("bean");

If you would like to use Docker as a non-root user, you should now consider
adding your user to the "docker" group with something like:

  sudo usermod -aG docker stens

Remember that you will have to log out and back in for this to take effect!

Here is the underlying detailed install instructions which as you can see comes bundled into above technique ... Above one liner gives you same as :

https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/

Once installed you can see what docker packages were installed by issuing

dpkg -l|grep docker
ii  docker-ce                                  5:19.03.13~3-0~ubuntu-focal         amd64        Docker: the open-source application container engine

now Docker updates will get installed going forward when you issue

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

take a look at

 ls -latr /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*docker*

How to pass variable from jade template file to a script file?

See this question: JADE + EXPRESS: Iterating over object in inline JS code (client-side)?

I'm having the same problem. Jade does not pass local variables in (or do any templating at all) to javascript scripts, it simply passes the entire block in as literal text. If you use the local variables 'address' and 'port' in your Jade file above the script tag they should show up.

Possible solutions are listed in the question I linked to above, but you can either: - pass every line in as unescaped text (!= at the beginning of every line), and simply put "-" before every line of javascript that uses a local variable, or: - Pass variables in through a dom element and access through JQuery (ugly)

Is there no better way? It seems the creators of Jade do not want multiline javascript support, as shown by this thread in GitHub: https://github.com/visionmedia/jade/pull/405

Location Services not working in iOS 8

A little helper for all of you that have more than one Info.plist file...

find . -name Info.plist | xargs -I {} /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription string' {} 

It will add the needed tag to all of the Info.plist files in the current directory (and subfolders).

Another is:

find . -name Info.plist | xargs -I {} /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription $YOURDESCRIPTION' {} 

It will add your description to all files.

How to put Google Maps V2 on a Fragment using ViewPager

In the latest update of Google for Maps, only MapView is supported for fragments. MapFragment & SupportMapFragment doesn't work. I might be wrong but this is what I saw after trying to implement MapFragment & SupportMapFragment.

Setting up the layout for showing the map in the file location_fragment.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
        android:id="@+id/mapView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

Now, we code the Java class for showing the map in the file MapViewFragment.java:

public class MapViewFragment extends Fragment {

    MapView mMapView;
    private GoogleMap googleMap;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.location_fragment, container, false);

        mMapView = (MapView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mMapView.onResume(); // needed to get the map to display immediately

        try {
            MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        mMapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMapReady(GoogleMap mMap) {
                googleMap = mMap;

                // For showing a move to my location button
                googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

                // For dropping a marker at a point on the Map
                LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
                googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker Title").snippet("Marker Description"));

                // For zooming automatically to the location of the marker
                CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(sydney).zoom(12).build();
                googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
            }
        });

        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mMapView.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mMapView.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mMapView.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
        super.onLowMemory();
        mMapView.onLowMemory();
    }
}

Finally you need to get the API Key for your app by registering your app at Google Cloud Console. Register your app as Native Android App.

Day Name from Date in JS

use the Date.toLocaleString() method :

new Date(dateString).toLocaleString('en-us', {weekday:'long'})

Call Javascript onchange event by programmatically changing textbox value

You can fire the event simply with

document.getElementById("elementID").onchange();

I dont know if this doesnt work on some browsers, but it should work on FF 3 and IE 7+

What determines the monitor my app runs on?

I'm fairly sure the primary monitor is the default. If the app was coded decently, when it's closed, it'll remember where it was last at and will reopen there, but -- as you've noticed -- it isn't a default behavior.

EDIT: The way I usually do it is to have the location stored in the app's settings. On load, if there is no value for them, it defaults to the center of the screen. On closing of the form, it records its position. That way, whenever it opens, it's where it was last. I don't know of a simple way to tell it to launch onto the second monitor the first time automatically, however.

How to run function of parent window when child window closes?

This is an old post, but I thought I would add another method to do this:

var win = window.open("http://www.google.com");

var winClosed = setInterval(function () {

    if (win.closed) {
        clearInterval(winClosed);
        foo(); //Call your function here
    }

}, 250);

You don't have to modify the contents or use any event handlers from the child window.

Replacing blank values (white space) with NaN in pandas

This should work

df.loc[df.Variable == '', 'Variable'] = 'Value'

or

df.loc[df.Variable1 == '', 'Variable2'] = 'Value'

What is the difference between POST and GET?

The only "big" difference between POST & GET (when using them with AJAX) is since GET is URL provided, they are limited in ther length (since URL arent infinite in length).

React proptype array with shape

Yes, you need to use PropTypes.arrayOf instead of PropTypes.array in the code, you can do something like this:

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

MyComponent.propTypes = {
  annotationRanges: PropTypes.arrayOf(
    PropTypes.shape({
      start: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
      end: PropTypes.number.isRequired
    }).isRequired
  ).isRequired
}

Also for more details about proptypes, visit Typechecking With PropTypes here

Convert a row of a data frame to vector

I recommend unlist, which keeps the names.

unlist(df[1,])
  a   b   c 
1.0 2.0 2.6 

is.vector(unlist(df[1,]))
[1] TRUE

If you don't want a named vector:

unname(unlist(df[1,]))
[1] 1.0 2.0 2.6

How do I install Java on Mac OSX allowing version switching?

Another alternative is using SDKMAN! See https://wimdeblauwe.wordpress.com/2018/09/26/switching-between-jdk-8-and-11-using-sdkman/

First install SDKMAN: https://sdkman.io/install and then...

  1. Install Oracle JDK 8 with: sdk install java 8.0.181-oracle
  2. Install OpenJDK 11 with: sdk install java 11.0.0-open

To switch:

  • Switch to JDK 8 with sdk use java 8.0.181-oracle
  • Switch to JDK 11 with sdk use java 11.0.0-open

To set a default:

  • Default to JDK 8 with sdk default java 8.0.181-oracle
  • Default to JDK 11 with sdk default java 11.0.0-open

JQuery: How to get selected radio button value?

jQuery("input:radio[name=myradiobutton]:checked").val();

Does Java have something like C#'s ref and out keywords?

Java passes parameters by value and doesn't have any mechanism to allow pass-by-reference. That means that whenever a parameter is passed, its value is copied into the stack frame handling the call.

The term value as I use it here needs a little clarification. In Java we have two kinds of variables - primitives and objects. A value of a primitive is the primitive itself, and the value of an object is its reference (and not the state of the object being referenced). Therefore, any change to the value inside the method will only change the copy of the value in the stack, and will not be seen by the caller. For example, there isn't any way to implement a real swap method, that receives two references and swaps them (not their content!).

GLYPHICONS - bootstrap icon font hex value

Do you mean these hex values?

.glyphicon-asterisk:before{content:"\2a";}
.glyphicon-plus:before{content:"\2b";}
.glyphicon-euro:before{content:"\20ac";}
...

You can find these in glyphicons.css here:

http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css

(If you only want to know the Glyphicons classes: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#glyphicons)

Best way to check if a Data Table has a null value in it

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
    if (dr["Column_Name"] == DBNull.Value)
    {
        //Do something
    }
    else
    {
        //Do something
    }
}

Assign a variable inside a Block to a variable outside a Block

Just use the __block prefix to declare and assign any type of variable inside a block.

For example:

__block Person *aPerson = nil;

__block NSString *name = nil;

How to Lazy Load div background images

First you need to think off when you want to swap. For example you could switch everytime when its a div tag thats loaded. In my example i just used a extra data field "background" and whenever its set the image is applied as a background image.

Then you just have to load the Data with the created image tag. And not overwrite the img tag instead apply a css background image.

Here is a example of the code change:

if (settings.appear) {
    var elements_left = elements.length;
    settings.appear.call(self, elements_left, settings);
}
var loadImgUri;
if($self.data("background"))
    loadImgUri = $self.data("background");
else
    loadImgUri  = $self.data(settings.data_attribute);

$("<img />")
    .bind("load", function() {
        $self
            .hide();
        if($self.data("background")){
            $self.css('backgroundImage', 'url('+$self.data("background")+')');
        }else
            $self.attr("src", $self.data(settings.data_attribute))

        $self[settings.effect](settings.effect_speed);

        self.loaded = true;

        /* Remove image from array so it is not looped next time. */
        var temp = $.grep(elements, function(element) {
            return !element.loaded;
        });
        elements = $(temp);

        if (settings.load) {
            var elements_left = elements.length;
            settings.load.call(self, elements_left, settings);
        }
    })
    .attr("src", loadImgUri );
}

the loading stays the same

$("#divToLoad").lazyload();

and in this example you need to modify the html code like this:

<div data-background="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/9712/orionfull_jcc_big.jpg" id="divToLoad" />?

but it would also work if you change the switch to div tags and then you you could work with the "data-original" attribute.

Here's an fiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/dtm3k/1/

android : Error converting byte to dex

In my case, using :

enter image description here

I had the issue during transformClassesWithDexFor when the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon is superior to 4Go. By changing my ~/gradle.properties with org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m (meaning I reduce the heap size to 2Go instead of 4Go) the dex then runs in a separate process and I no longer have the issue.

14:52:26.412 [WARN] [org.gradle.api.Project]

Running dex as a separate process.

To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.

It currently has 2048 MB.

For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to at least 4608 MB (based on the dexOptions.javaMaxHeapSize = 4g).

To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608M in the project gradle.properties.

Install / upgrade gradle on Mac OS X

Another alternative is to use sdkman. An advantage of sdkman over brew is that many versions of gradle are supported. (brew only supports the latest version and 2.14.) To install sdkman execute:

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

Then follow the instructions. Go here for more installation information. Once sdkman is installed use the command:

sdk install gradle

Or to install a specific version:

sdk install gradle 2.2

Or use to use a specific installed version:

sdk use gradle 2.2

To see which versions are installed and available:

sdk list gradle

no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type

You could also simply tell your RestTemplate to accept all media types:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
   final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();

   List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> messageConverters = new ArrayList<>();
   MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter converter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
   converter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.ALL));
   messageConverters.add(converter);
   restTemplate.setMessageConverters(messageConverters);

   return restTemplate;
}

How do I run git log to see changes only for a specific branch?

For those using Magit, hit l and =m to toggle --no-merges and =pto toggle --first-parent.

Then either just hit l again to show commits from the current branch (with none of commits merged onto it) down to end of history, or, if you want the log to end where it was branched off from master, hit o and type master.. as your range:

What is an unhandled promise rejection?

I had faced a similar issue with NodeJS, where the culprit was a forEach loop. Note that forEach is a synchronous function (NOT Asynchronous). Therefore it just ignores the promise returned. The solution was to use a for-of loop instead: Code where I got the error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch()

is as follows:

permissionOrders.forEach( async(order) => {
        const requestPermissionOrder = new RequestPermissionOrderSchema({
            item: order.item,
            item_desc: order.item_desc,
            quantity: order.quantity,
            unit_price: order.unit_price,
            total_cost: order.total_cost,
            status: order.status,
            priority: order.priority,
            directOrder: order.directOrder
        });

        try {
            const dat_order = await requestPermissionOrder.save();
            res.json(dat_order);
        } catch(err){
            res.json({ message : err});
        }
    });

Solution for the above issue is as follows:

for (let order of permissionOrders){
        const requestPermissionOrder = new RequestPermissionOrderSchema({
            item: order.item,
            item_desc: order.item_desc,
            quantity: order.quantity,
            unit_price: order.unit_price,
            total_cost: order.total_cost,
            status: order.status,
            priority: order.priority,
            directOrder: order.directOrder
        });

        try {
            const dat_order = await requestPermissionOrder.save();
            res.json(dat_order);
        } catch(err){
            res.json({ message : err});
        }
    };

How to set calculation mode to manual when opening an excel file?

The best way around this would be to create an Excel called 'launcher.xlsm' in the same folder as the file you wish to open. In the 'launcher' file put the following code in the 'Workbook' object, but set the constant TargetWBName to be the name of the file you wish to open.

Private Const TargetWBName As String = "myworkbook.xlsx"

'// First, a function to tell us if the workbook is already open...
Function WorkbookOpen(WorkBookName As String) As Boolean
' returns TRUE if the workbook is open
    WorkbookOpen = False
    On Error GoTo WorkBookNotOpen
    If Len(Application.Workbooks(WorkBookName).Name) > 0 Then
        WorkbookOpen = True
        Exit Function
    End If
WorkBookNotOpen:
End Function

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    'Check if our target workbook is open
    If WorkbookOpen(TargetWBName) = False Then
        'set calculation to manual
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & TargetWBName
        DoEvents
        Me.Close False
    End If
End Sub

Set the constant 'TargetWBName' to be the name of the workbook that you wish to open. This code will simply switch calculation to manual, then open the file. The launcher file will then automatically close itself. *NOTE: If you do not wish to be prompted to 'Enable Content' every time you open this file (depending on your security settings) you should temporarily remove the 'me.close' to prevent it from closing itself, save the file and set it to be trusted, and then re-enable the 'me.close' call before saving again. Alternatively, you could just set the False to True after Me.Close

Is it possible to create static classes in PHP (like in C#)?

you can have those "static"-like classes. but i suppose, that something really important is missing: in php you don't have an app-cycle, so you won't get a real static (or singleton) in your whole application...

see Singleton in PHP

React Native - Image Require Module using Dynamic Names

First, create a file with image required - React native images must be loaded this way.

assets/index.js

export const friendsandfoe = require('./friends-and-foe.png'); 
export const lifeanddeath = require('./life-and-death.png'); 
export const homeandgarden = require('./home-and-garden.png');

Now import all your assets

App.js

import * as All  from '../../assets';

You can now use your image as an interpolated value where imageValue (coming in from backend) is the same as named local file ie: 'homeandgarden':

<Image style={styles.image} source={All[`${imageValue}`]}></Image>

How can I get a favicon to show up in my django app?

The best solution is to override the Django base.html template. Make another base.html template under admin directory. Make an admin directory first if it does not exist. app/admin/base.html.

Add {% block extrahead %} to the overriding template.

{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block javascripts %}
    {{ block.super }}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'app/js/action.js' %}"></script>

{% endblock %}

{% block extrahead %}
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static 'app/img/favicon.ico'  %}" />
{% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}

    {{ block.super }}
{% endblock %}

ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Add jQuery library before your script which uses $ or jQuery so that $ can be identified in scripts.

Strip HTML from strings in Python

You can use BeautifulSoup get_text() feature.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html_str = '''
<td><a href="http://www.fakewebsite.com">Please can you strip me?</a>
<br/><a href="http://www.fakewebsite.com">I am waiting....</a>
</td>
'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_str)

print(soup.get_text()) 
#or via attribute of Soup Object: print(soup.text)

It is advisable to explicitly specify the parser, for example as BeautifulSoup(html_str, features="html.parser"), for the output to be reproducible.

"405 method not allowed" in IIS7.5 for "PUT" method

I enabled the Failed Request Tracing, and got the following info:

 <EventData>
  <Data Name="ContextId">{00000000-0000-0000-0F00-0080000000FA}</Data>
  <Data Name="ModuleName">WebDAVModule</Data>

 </EventData>

So, I uninstalled the WebDAVModule from my IIS, everything is fine now~

The IIS tracing feature is very helpful.

Escape text for HTML

You can use actual html tags <xmp> and </xmp> to output the string as is to show all of the tags in between the xmp tags.

java.util.regex - importance of Pattern.compile()?

Similar to 'Pattern.compile' there is 'RECompiler.compile' [from com.sun.org.apache.regexp.internal] where:
1. compiled code for pattern [a-z] has 'az' in it
2. compiled code for pattern [0-9] has '09' in it
3. compiled code for pattern [abc] has 'aabbcc' in it.

Thus compiled code is a great way to generalize multiple cases. Thus instead of having different code handling situation 1,2 and 3 . The problem reduces to comparing with the ascii of present and next element in the compiled code, hence the pairs. Thus
a. anything with ascii between a and z is between a and z
b. anything with ascii between 'a and a is definitely 'a'
