How can I mimic the bottom sheet from the Maps app?

Maybe you can try my answer https://github.com/AnYuan/AYPannel, inspired by Pulley. Smooth transition from moving the drawer to scrolling the list. I added a pan gesture on the container scroll view, and set shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer to return YES. More detail in my github link above. Wish to help.

Default parameters with C++ constructors

This discussion apply both to constructors, but also methods and functions.

Using default parameters?

The good thing is that you won't need to overload constructors/methods/functions for each case:

// Header
void doSomething(int i = 25) ;

// Source
void doSomething(int i)
{
   // Do something with i
}

The bad thing is that you must declare your default in the header, so you have an hidden dependancy: Like when you change the code of an inlined function, if you change the default value in your header, you'll need to recompile all sources using this header to be sure they will use the new default.

If you don't, the sources will still use the old default value.

using overloaded constructors/methods/functions?

The good thing is that if your functions are not inlined, you then control the default value in the source by choosing how one function will behave. For example:

// Header
void doSomething() ;
void doSomething(int i) ;

// Source

void doSomething()
{
   doSomething(25) ;
}

void doSomething(int i)
{
   // Do something with i
}

The problem is that you have to maintain multiple constructors/methods/functions, and their forwardings.

How to find event listeners on a DOM node when debugging or from the JavaScript code?

To get all eventListeners on a page printed alongside their elements

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("*")).forEach(e => {
    const ev = getEventListeners(e)
    if (Object.keys(ev).length !== 0) console.log(e, ev)
})

Set Font Color, Font Face and Font Size in PHPExcel

I recommend you start reading the documentation (4.6.18. Formatting cells). When applying a lot of formatting it's better to use applyFromArray() According to the documentation this method is also suppose to be faster when you're setting many style properties. There's an annex where you can find all the possible keys for this function.

This will work for you:

$phpExcel = new PHPExcel();

$styleArray = array(
    'font'  => array(
        'bold'  => true,
        'color' => array('rgb' => 'FF0000'),
        'size'  => 15,
        'name'  => 'Verdana'
    ));

$phpExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A1')->setValue('Some text');
$phpExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->applyFromArray($styleArray);

To apply font style to complete excel document:

 $styleArray = array(
   'font'  => array(
        'bold'  => true,
        'color' => array('rgb' => 'FF0000'),
        'size'  => 15,
        'name'  => 'Verdana'
    ));      
 $phpExcel->getDefaultStyle()
    ->applyFromArray($styleArray);

Making RGB color in Xcode

Color picker plugin for Interface Builder

There's a nice color picker from Panic which works well with IB: http://panic.com/~wade/picker/

Xcode plugin

This one gives you a GUI for choosing colors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eblRfDQM0Go

Objective-C

UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithRed:(160/255.0) green:(97/255.0) blue:(5/255.0) alpha:1.0];

Swift

let color = UIColor(red: 160/255, green: 97/255, blue: 5/255, alpha: 1.0)

There's a nice pod named MPColorTools: https://github.com/marzapower/MPColorTools

How to use Oracle's LISTAGG function with a unique filter?

Super simple answer - solved!

my full answer here it is now built in in some oracle versions.

select group_id, 
regexp_replace(
    listagg(name, ',') within group (order by name)
    ,'([^,]+)(,\1)*(,|$)', '\1\3')
from demotable
group by group_id;  

This only works if you specify the delimiter to ',' not ', ' ie works only for no spaces after the comma. If you want spaces after the comma - here is a example how.

select 
replace(
    regexp_replace(
     regexp_replace('BBall, BBall, BBall, Football, Ice Hockey ',',\s*',',')            
    ,'([^,]+)(,\1)*(,|$)', '\1\3')
,',',', ') 
from dual

gives BBall, Football, Ice Hockey

Difference between shared objects (.so), static libraries (.a), and DLL's (.so)?

A static library(.a) is a library that can be linked directly into the final executable produced by the linker,it is contained in it and there is no need to have the library into the system where the executable will be deployed.

A shared library(.so) is a library that is linked but not embedded in the final executable, so will be loaded when the executable is launched and need to be present in the system where the executable is deployed.

A dynamic link library on windows(.dll) is like a shared library(.so) on linux but there are some differences between the two implementations that are related to the OS (Windows vs Linux) :

A DLL can define two kinds of functions: exported and internal. The exported functions are intended to be called by other modules, as well as from within the DLL where they are defined. Internal functions are typically intended to be called only from within the DLL where they are defined.

An SO library on Linux doesn't need special export statement to indicate exportable symbols, since all symbols are available to an interrogating process.

When should I use double or single quotes in JavaScript?

Just to add my two cents: In working with both JavaScript and PHP a few years back, I've become accustomed to using single quotes so I can type the escape character ('') without having to escape it as well. I usually used it when typing raw strings with file paths, etc.

Anyhow, my convention ended up becoming the use of single quotes on identifier-type raw strings, such as if (typeof s == 'string') ... (in which escape characters would never be used - ever), and double quotes for texts, such as "Hey, what's up?". I also use single quotes in comments as a typographical convention to show identifier names. This is just a rule of thumb, and I break off only when needed, such as when typing HTML strings '<a href="#"> like so <a>' (though you could reverse the quotes here also). I'm also aware that, in the case of JSON, double quotes are used for the names - but outside that, personally, I prefer the single quotes when escaping is never required for the text between the quotes - like document.createElement('div').

The bottom line is, and as some have mentioned/alluded to, to pick a convention, stick with it, and only deviate when necessary.

I hope this works for anyone!

How do I move a file from one location to another in Java?

To move a file you could also use Jakarta Commons IOs FileUtils.moveFile

On error it throws an IOException, so when no exception is thrown you know that that the file was moved.

How to insert a SQLite record with a datetime set to 'now' in Android application?

In my code I use DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the type and constraint of the column.

In your case your table definition would be

create table notes (

  created_date date default CURRENT_DATE
)

Why Doesn't C# Allow Static Methods to Implement an Interface?

I think the question is getting at the fact that C# needs another keyword, for precisely this sort of situation. You want a method whose return value depends only on the type on which it is called. You can't call it "static" if said type is unknown. But once the type becomes known, it will become static. "Unresolved static" is the idea -- it's not static yet, but once we know the receiving type, it will be. This is a perfectly good concept, which is why programmers keep asking for it. But it didn't quite fit into the way the designers thought about the language.

Since it's not available, I have taken to using non-static methods in the way shown below. Not exactly ideal, but I can't see any approach that makes more sense, at least not for me.

public interface IZeroWrapper<TNumber> {
  TNumber Zero {get;}
}

public class DoubleWrapper: IZeroWrapper<double> {
  public double Zero { get { return 0; } }
}

How do I write the 'cd' command in a makefile?

Here is the pattern I've used:

.PHONY: test_py_utils
PY_UTILS_DIR = py_utils
test_py_utils:
    cd $(PY_UTILS_DIR) && black .
    cd $(PY_UTILS_DIR) && isort .
    cd $(PY_UTILS_DIR) && mypy .
    cd $(PY_UTILS_DIR) && pytest -sl .
    cd $(PY_UTILS_DIR) && flake8 .

My motivations for this pattern are:

  • The above solution is simple and readable
  • I read the classic paper "Recursive Make Considered Harmful", which discouraged me from using $(MAKE) -C some_dir all
  • I didn't want to use just one line of code (punctuated by semicolons or &&) because it is less readable, and I fear that I will make a typo when editing the make recipe.
  • I didn't want to use the .ONESHELL special target because:
    • that is a global option that affects all recipes in the makefile
    • using .ONESHELL causes all lines of the recipe to be executed even if one of the earlier lines has failed with a nonzero exit status. Workarounds like calling set -e are possible, but such workarounds would have to be implemented for every recipe in the makefile.

How should I call 3 functions in order to execute them one after the other?

In Javascript, there are synchronous and asynchronous functions.

Synchronous Functions

Most functions in Javascript are synchronous. If you were to call several synchronous functions in a row

doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
doSomethingUsefulThisTime();

they will execute in order. doSomethingElse will not start until doSomething has completed. doSomethingUsefulThisTime, in turn, will not start until doSomethingElse has completed.

Asynchronous Functions

Asynchronous function, however, will not wait for each other. Let us look at the same code sample we had above, this time assuming that the functions are asynchronous

doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
doSomethingUsefulThisTime();

The functions will be initialized in order, but they will all execute roughly at the same time. You can't consistently predict which one will finish first: the one that happens to take the shortest amount of time to execute will finish first.

But sometimes, you want functions that are asynchronous to execute in order, and sometimes you want functions that are synchronous to execute asynchronously. Fortunately, this is possible with callbacks and timeouts, respectively.

Callbacks

Let's assume that we have three asynchronous functions that we want to execute in order, some_3secs_function, some_5secs_function, and some_8secs_function.

Since functions can be passed as arguments in Javascript, you can pass a function as a callback to execute after the function has completed.

If we create the functions like this

function some_3secs_function(value, callback){
  //do stuff
  callback();
}

then you can call then in order, like this:

some_3secs_function(some_value, function() {
  some_5secs_function(other_value, function() {
    some_8secs_function(third_value, function() {
      //All three functions have completed, in order.
    });
  });
});

Timeouts

In Javascript, you can tell a function to execute after a certain timeout (in milliseconds). This can, in effect, make synchronous functions behave asynchronously.

If we have three synchronous functions, we can execute them asynchronously using the setTimeout function.

setTimeout(doSomething, 10);
setTimeout(doSomethingElse, 10);
setTimeout(doSomethingUsefulThisTime, 10);

This is, however, a bit ugly and violates the DRY principle[wikipedia]. We could clean this up a bit by creating a function that accepts an array of functions and a timeout.

function executeAsynchronously(functions, timeout) {
  for(var i = 0; i < functions.length; i++) {
    setTimeout(functions[i], timeout);
  }
}

This can be called like so:

executeAsynchronously(
    [doSomething, doSomethingElse, doSomethingUsefulThisTime], 10);

In summary, if you have asynchronous functions that you want to execute syncronously, use callbacks, and if you have synchronous functions that you want to execute asynchronously, use timeouts.

Regex how to match an optional character

You also could use simpler regex designed for your case like (.*)\/(([^\?\n\r])*) where $2 match what you want.

How can I know if a process is running?

Maybe (probably) I am reading the question wrongly, but are you looking for the HasExited property that will tell you that the process represented by your Process object has exited (either normally or not).

If the process you have a reference to has a UI you can use the Responding property to determine if the UI is currently responding to user input or not.

You can also set EnableRaisingEvents and handle the Exited event (which is sent asychronously) or call WaitForExit() if you want to block.

MySQL: ignore errors when importing?

Use the --force (-f) flag on your mysql import. Rather than stopping on the offending statement, MySQL will continue and just log the errors to the console.

For example:

mysql -u userName -p -f -D dbName < script.sql

How do you get a list of the names of all files present in a directory in Node.js?

Out of the box

In case you want an object with the directory structure out-of-the-box I highly reccomend you to check directory-tree.

Lets say you have this structure:

photos
¦   june
¦   +-- windsurf.jpg
+-- january
    +-- ski.png
    +-- snowboard.jpg
const dirTree = require("directory-tree");
const tree = dirTree("/path/to/photos");

Will return:

{
  path: "photos",
  name: "photos",
  size: 600,
  type: "directory",
  children: [
    {
      path: "photos/june",
      name: "june",
      size: 400,
      type: "directory",
      children: [
        {
          path: "photos/june/windsurf.jpg",
          name: "windsurf.jpg",
          size: 400,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".jpg"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      path: "photos/january",
      name: "january",
      size: 200,
      type: "directory",
      children: [
        {
          path: "photos/january/ski.png",
          name: "ski.png",
          size: 100,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".png"
        },
        {
          path: "photos/january/snowboard.jpg",
          name: "snowboard.jpg",
          size: 100,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".jpg"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Custom Object

Otherwise if you want to create an directory tree object with your custom settings have a look at the following snippet. A live example is visible on this codesandbox.

// my-script.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");

const isDirectory = filePath => fs.statSync(filePath).isDirectory();
const isFile = filePath => fs.statSync(filePath).isFile();

const getDirectoryDetails = filePath => {
  const dirs = fs.readdirSync(filePath);
  return {
    dirs: dirs.filter(name => isDirectory(path.join(filePath, name))),
    files: dirs.filter(name => isFile(path.join(filePath, name)))
  };
};

const getFilesRecursively = (parentPath, currentFolder) => {
  const currentFolderPath = path.join(parentPath, currentFolder);
  let currentDirectoryDetails = getDirectoryDetails(currentFolderPath);

  const final = {
    current_dir: currentFolder,
    dirs: currentDirectoryDetails.dirs.map(dir =>
      getFilesRecursively(currentFolderPath, dir)
    ),
    files: currentDirectoryDetails.files
  };

  return final;
};

const getAllFiles = relativePath => {
  const fullPath = path.join(__dirname, relativePath);
  const parentDirectoryPath = path.dirname(fullPath);
  const leafDirectory = path.basename(fullPath);

  const allFiles = getFilesRecursively(parentDirectoryPath, leafDirectory);
  return allFiles;
};

module.exports = { getAllFiles };

Then you can simply do:

// another-file.js 

const { getAllFiles } = require("path/to/my-script");

const allFiles = getAllFiles("/path/to/my-directory");

Set active tab style with AngularJS

A way to solve this without having to rely on URLs is to add a custom attribute to every partial during $routeProvider configuration, like this:

$routeProvider.
    when('/dashboard', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/dashboard.html',
        controller: widgetsController,
        activetab: 'dashboard'
    }).
    when('/lab', {
        templateUrl: 'partials/lab.html',
        controller: widgetsController,
        activetab: 'lab'
    });

Expose $route in your controller:

function widgetsController($scope, $route) {
    $scope.$route = $route;
}

Set the active class based on the current active tab:

<li ng-class="{active: $route.current.activetab == 'dashboard'}"></li>
<li ng-class="{active: $route.current.activetab == 'lab'}"></li>

Format cell if cell contains date less than today

Your first problem was you weren't using your compare symbols correctly.

< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to

To answer your other questions; get the condition to work on every cell in the column and what about blanks?

What about blanks?

Add an extra IF condition to check if the cell is blank or not, if it isn't blank perform the check. =IF(B2="","",B2<=TODAY())

Condition on every cell in column

byte array to pdf

You shouldn't be using the BinaryFormatter for this - that's for serializing .Net types to a binary file so they can be read back again as .Net types.

If it's stored in the database, hopefully, as a varbinary - then all you need to do is get the byte array from that (that will depend on your data access technology - EF and Linq to Sql, for example, will create a mapping that makes it trivial to get a byte array) and then write it to the file as you do in your last line of code.

With any luck - I'm hoping that fileContent here is the byte array? In which case you can just do

System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("hello.pdf", fileContent);

Convert time.Time to string

You can use the Time.String() method to convert a time.Time to a string. This uses the format string "2006-01-02 15:04:05.999999999 -0700 MST".

If you need other custom format, you can use Time.Format(). For example to get the timestamp in the format of yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss use the format string "2006-01-02 15:04:05".

Example:

t := time.Now()
fmt.Println(t.String())
fmt.Println(t.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05"))

Output (try it on the Go Playground):

2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC
2009-11-10 23:00:00

Note: time on the Go Playground is always set to the value seen above. Run it locally to see current date/time.

Also note that using Time.Format(), as the layout string you always have to pass the same time –called the reference time– formatted in a way you want the result to be formatted. This is documented at Time.Format():

Format returns a textual representation of the time value formatted according to layout, which defines the format by showing how the reference time, defined to be

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006

would be displayed if it were the value; it serves as an example of the desired output. The same display rules will then be applied to the time value.

Can I call an overloaded constructor from another constructor of the same class in C#?

In C# it is not possible to call another constructor from inside the method body. You can call a base constructor this way: foo(args):base() as pointed out yourself. You can also call another constructor in the same class: foo(args):this().

When you want to do something before calling a base constructor, it seems the construction of the base is class is dependant of some external things. If so, you should through arguments of the base constructor, not by setting properties of the base class or something like that

How to write to a file without overwriting current contents?

Instead of "w" use "a" (append) mode with open function:

with open("games.txt", "a") as text_file:

VirtualBox and vmdk vmx files

Actually, for the configuration of the machine, just open the .vmx file with a text editor (e.g. notepad, gedit, etc.). You will be able to see the OS type, memsize, ethernet.connectionType, and other settings. Then when you make your machine, just look in the text editor for the corresponding settings. When it asks for the disk, select the .vmdk disk as mentioned above.

How to parse a String containing XML in Java and retrieve the value of the root node?

I think you would be look at String class, there are multiple ways to do it. What about substring(int,int) and indexOf(int) lastIndexOf(int)?

Selenium: WebDriverException:Chrome failed to start: crashed as google-chrome is no longer running so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed

hope this helps someone. this worked for me on Ubuntu 18.10

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver', options=chrome_options)
driver.get('http://www.google.com')
print('test')
driver.close()

What is the difference between a framework and a library?

I like Cohens answer, but a more technical definition is: Your code calls a library. A framework calls your code. For example a GUI framework calls your code through event-handlers. A web framework calls your code through some request-response model.

This is also called inversion of control - suddenly the framework decides when and how to execute you code rather than the other way around as with libraries. This means that a framework also have a much larger impact on how you have to structure your code.

WebSockets and Apache proxy : how to configure mod_proxy_wstunnel?

TODO:

  1. Have Apache 2.4 installed (doesn't work with 2.2), a2enmod proxy and a2enmod proxy_wstunnel.load

  2. Do this in the Apache config
    just add two line in your file where 8080 is your tomcat running port

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ProxyPass "/ws2/" "ws://localhost:8080/" 
    ProxyPass "/wss2/" "wss://localhost:8080/"

Webpack - webpack-dev-server: command not found

The script webpack-dev-server is already installed inside ./node_modules directory. You can either install it again globally by

sudo npm install -g webpack-dev-server

or run it like this

./node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js -d --config webpack.dev.config.js --content-base public/ --progress --colors

. means look it in current directory.

Importing from a relative path in Python

Don't do relative import.

From PEP8:

Relative imports for intra-package imports are highly discouraged.

Put all your code into one super package (i.e. "myapp") and use subpackages for client, server and common code.

Update: "Python 2.6 and 3.x supports proper relative imports (...)". See Dave's answers for more details.

How to set selectedIndex of select element using display text?

If you want this without loops or jquery you could use the following This is straight up JavaScript. This works for current web browsers. Given the age of the question I am not sure if this would have worked back in 2011. Please note that using css style selectors is extremely powerful and can help shorten a lot of code.

_x000D_
_x000D_
// Please note that querySelectorAll will return a match for _x000D_
// for the term...if there is more than one then you will _x000D_
// have to loop through the returned object_x000D_
var selectAnimal = function() {_x000D_

How to set a dropdownlist item as selected in ASP.NET?

Use multiple custom fonts using @font-face?

You can use multiple font faces quite easily. Below is an example of how I used it in the past:

<!--[if (IE)]><!-->
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        @font-face {
            font-family: "Century Schoolbook";
            src: url(/fonts/century-schoolbook.eot);
        }
        @font-face {
            font-family: "Chalkduster";
            src: url(/fonts/chalkduster.eot);
        }
    </style>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE)]><!-->
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        @font-face {
            font-family: "Century Schoolbook";
            src: url(/fonts/century-schoolbook.ttf);
        }
        @font-face {
            font-family: "Chalkduster";
            src: url(/fonts/chalkduster.ttf);
        }
    </style>
<!--<![endif]-->

It is worth noting that fonts can be funny across different Browsers. Font face on earlier browsers works, but you need to use eot files instead of ttf.

That is why I include my fonts in the head of the html file as I can then use conditional IE tags to use eot or ttf files accordingly.

If you need to convert ttf to eot for this purpose there is a brilliant website you can do this for free online, which can be found at http://ttf2eot.sebastiankippe.com/.

Hope that helps.

How do I import an existing Java keystore (.jks) file into a Java installation?

Ok, so here was my process:

keytool -list -v -keystore permanent.jks - got me the alias.

keytool -export -alias alias_name -file certificate_name -keystore permanent.jks - got me the certificate to import.

Then I could import it with the keytool:

keytool -import -alias alias_name -file certificate_name -keystore keystore location

As @Christian Bongiorno says the alias can't already exist in your keystore.

Java 8 stream map to list of keys sorted by values

You have to sort with a custom comparator based on the value of the entry. Then select all the keys before collecting

countByType.entrySet()
           .stream()
           .sorted((e1, e2) -> e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue())) // custom Comparator
           .map(e -> e.getKey())
           .collect(Collectors.toList());

Could you explain STA and MTA?

Each EXE which hosts COM or OLE controls defines it's apartment state. The apartment state is by default STA (and for most programs should be STA).

STA - All OLE controls by necessity must live in a STA. STA means that your COM-object must be always manipulated on the UI thread and cannot be passed to other threads (much like any UI element in MFC). However, your program can still have many threads.

MTA - You can manipulate the COM object on any thread in your program.

How do you attach and detach from Docker's process?

To detach from a running container, use ^P^Q (hold Ctrl, press P, press Q, release Ctrl).

There's a catch: this only works if the container was started with both -t and -i.

If you have a running container that was started without one (or both) of these options, and you attach with docker attach, you'll need to find another way to detach. Depending on the options you chose and the program that's running, ^C may work, or it may kill the whole container. You'll have to experiment.

Another catch: Depending on the programs you're using, your terminal, shell, SSH client, or multiplexer could be intercepting either ^P or ^Q (usually the latter). To test whether this is the issue, try running or attaching with the --detach-keys z argument. You should now be able to detach by pressing z, without any modifiers. If this works, another program is interfering. The easiest way to work around this is to set your own detach sequence using the --detach-keys argument. (For example, to exit with ^K, use --detach-keys 'ctrl-k'.) Alternatively, you can attempt to disable interception of the keys in your terminal or other interfering program. For example, stty start '' or stty start undef may prevent the terminal from intercepting ^Q on some POSIX systems, though I haven't found this to be helpful.

How can I get my webapp's base URL in ASP.NET MVC?

For MVC 4:

How to read/write from/to file using Go?

The Read method takes a byte parameter because that is the buffer it will read into. It's a common Idiom in some circles and makes some sense when you think about it.

This way you can determine how many bytes will be read by the reader and inspect the return to see how many bytes actually were read and handle any errors appropriately.

As others have pointed in their answers bufio is probably what you want for reading from most files.

I'll add one other hint since it's really useful. Reading a line from a file is best accomplished not by the ReadLine method but the ReadBytes or ReadString method instead.

How to find a value in an array and remove it by using PHP array functions?

Okay, this is a bit longer, but does a couple of cool things.

I was trying to filter a list of emails but exclude certain domains and emails.

Script below will...

  1. Remove any records with a certain domain
  2. Remove any email with an exact value.

First you need an array with a list of emails and then you can add certain domains or individual email accounts to exclusion lists.

Then it will output a list of clean records at the end.

//list of domains to exclude
$excluded_domains = array(
    "domain1.com",
);

//list of emails to exclude
$excluded_emails = array(
    "[email protected]",
    "[email protected]",    
);

function get_domain($email) {

    $domain = explode("@", $email);
    $domain = $domain[1];
    return $domain;

}

//loop through list of emails
foreach($emails as $email) {

    //set false flag
    $exclude = false;

    //extract the domain from the email     
    $domain = get_domain($email);

    //check if the domain is in the exclude domains list
    if(in_array($domain, $excluded_domains)){
        $exclude = true;
    }

    //check if the domain is in the exclude emails list
    if(in_array($email, $excluded_emails)){
        $exclude = true;
    } 

    //if its not excluded add it to the final array
    if($exclude == false) {
        $clean_email_list[] = $email;
    }

    $count = $count + 1;
}

print_r($clean_email_list);

Which is better, return value or out parameter?

I suspect I'm not going to get a look-in on this question, but I am a very experienced programmer, and I hope some of the more open-minded readers will pay attention.

I believe that it suits object-oriented programming languages better for their value-returning procedures (VRPs) to be deterministic and pure.

'VRP' is the modern academic name for a function that is called as part of an expression, and has a return value that notionally replaces the call during evaluation of the expression. E.g. in a statement such as x = 1 + f(y) the function f is serving as a VRP.

'Deterministic' means that the result of the function depends only on the values of its parameters. If you call it again with the same parameter values, you are certain to get the same result.

'Pure' means no side-effects: calling the function does nothing except computing the result. This can be interpreted to mean no important side-effects, in practice, so if the VRP outputs a debugging message every time it is called, for example, that can probably be ignored.

Thus, if, in C#, your function is not deterministic and pure, I say you should make it a void function (in other words, not a VRP), and any value it needs to return should be returned in either an out or a ref parameter.

For example, if you have a function to delete some rows from a database table, and you want it to return the number of rows it deleted, you should declare it something like this:

public void DeleteBasketItems(BasketItemCategory category, out int count);

If you sometimes want to call this function but not get the count, you could always declare an overloading.

You might want to know why this style suits object-oriented programming better. Broadly, it fits into a style of programming that could be (a little imprecisely) termed 'procedural programming', and it is a procedural programming style that fits object-oriented programming better.

Why? The classical model of objects is that they have properties (aka attributes), and you interrogate and manipulate the object (mainly) through reading and updating those properties. A procedural programming style tends to make it easier to do this, because you can execute arbitrary code in between operations that get and set properties.

The downside of procedural programming is that, because you can execute arbitrary code all over the place, you can get some very obtuse and bug-vulnerable interactions via global variables and side-effects.

So, quite simply, it is good practice to signal to someone reading your code that a function could have side-effects by making it non-value returning.

How do I manually configure a DataSource in Java?

Basically in JDBC most of these properties are not configurable in the API like that, rather they depend on implementation. The way JDBC handles this is by allowing the connection URL to be different per vendor.

So what you do is register the driver so that the JDBC system can know what to do with the URL:

 DriverManager.registerDriver((Driver) Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance());

Then you form the URL:

 String url = "jdbc:mysql://[host][,failoverhost...][:port]/[database][?propertyName1][=propertyValue1][&propertyName2][=propertyValue2]"

And finally, use it to get a connection:

 Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(url);

In more sophisticated JDBC, you get involved with connection pools and the like, and application servers often have their own way of registering drivers in JNDI and you look up a DataSource from there, and call getConnection on it.

In terms of what properties MySQL supports, see here.

EDIT: One more thought, technically just having a line of code which does Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") should be enough, as the class should have its own static initializer which registers a version, but sometimes a JDBC driver doesn't, so if you aren't sure, there is little harm in registering a second one, it just creates a duplicate object in memeory.

MySQL with Node.js

connect the mysql database by installing a library. here, picked the stable and easy to use node-mysql module.

npm install [email protected]

var http = require('http'),
   mysql = require('mysql');

var sqlInfo = {
   host: 'localhost',
   user: 'root',
   password: 'urpass',
   database: 'dbname'
}
client = mysql.createConnection(sqlInfo);

client.connect();

How to add a boolean datatype column to an existing table in sql?

How do I install cygwin components from the command line?

There is no tool specifically in the 'setup.exe' installer that offers the functionality of apt-get. There is, however, a command-line package installer for Cygwin that can be downloaded separately, but it is not entirely stable and relies on workarounds.

apt-cyg: http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg

Check out the issues tab for the project to see the known problems.

sql query to get earliest date

If you just want the date:

SELECT MIN(date) as EarliestDate
FROM YourTable
WHERE id = 2

If you want all of the information:

SELECT TOP 1 id, name, score, date
FROM YourTable
WHERE id = 2
ORDER BY Date

Prevent loops when you can. Loops often lead to cursors, and cursors are almost never necessary and very often really inefficient.

strdup() - what does it do in C?

strdup() does dynamic memory allocation for the character array including the end character '\0' and returns the address of the heap memory:

char *strdup (const char *s)
{
    char *p = malloc (strlen (s) + 1);   // allocate memory
    if (p != NULL)
        strcpy (p,s);                    // copy string
    return p;                            // return the memory
}

So, what it does is give us another string identical to the string given by its argument, without requiring us to allocate memory. But we still need to free it, later.

Node.js spawn child process and get terminal output live

Here is the cleanest approach I've found:

});

How to Programmatically Add Views to Views

Calling addView is the correct answer, but you need to do a little more than that to get it to work.

If you create a View via a constructor (e.g., Button myButton = new Button();), you'll need to call setLayoutParams on the newly constructed view, passing in an instance of the parent view's LayoutParams inner class, before you add your newly constructed child to the parent view.

For example, you might have the following code in your onCreate() function assuming your LinearLayout has id R.id.main:

LinearLayout myLayout = findViewById(R.id.main);

Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                                     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                                     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));

myLayout.addView(myButton);

Making sure to set the LayoutParams is important. Every view needs at least a layout_width and a layout_height parameter. Also getting the right inner class is important. I struggled with getting Views added to a TableRow to display properly until I figured out that I wasn't passing an instance of TableRow.LayoutParams to the child view's setLayoutParams.

What does "Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead" mean?

The better option is create a new table copy the rows to the destination table, drop the actual table and rename the newly created table . This method is good for small tables,

Set content of iframe

Unified Solution:

In order to work on all modern browsers, you will need two steps:

  1. Add javascript:void(0); as src attribute for the iframe element. Otherwise the content will be overriden by the empty src on Firefox.

    <iframe src="javascript:void(0);"></iframe>
    
  2. Programatically change the content of the inner html element.

    $(iframeSelector).contents().find('html').html(htmlContent);

batch to copy files with xcopy

After testing most of the switches this worked for me:

xcopy C:\folder1 C:\folder2\folder1 /t /e /i /y

This will copy the folder folder1 into the folder folder2. So the directory tree would look like:

C:
   Folder1
   Folder2
      Folder1

jquery beforeunload when closing (not leaving) the page?

You can do this by using JQuery.

For example ,

<a href="your URL" id="navigate"> click here </a>

Your JQuery will be,

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('a').on('mousedown', stopNavigate);

    $('a').on('mouseleave', function () {
           $(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
                  return 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
           });
    });
});

function stopNavigate(){    
    $(window).off('beforeunload');
}

And to get the Leave message alert will be,

$(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
      return 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
});

$(window).on('unload', function(){

         logout();

});

This solution works in all browsers and I have tested it.

AngularJs $http.post() does not send data

When I had this problem the parameter I was posting turned out to be an array of objects instead of a simple object.

.append(), prepend(), .after() and .before()

<div></div>    
// <-- $(".root").before("<div></div>");
<div class="root">
  // <-- $(".root").prepend("<div></div>");
  <div></div>
  // <-- $(".root").append("<div></div>");
</div>
// <-- $(".root").after("<div></div>");

C++/CLI Converting from System::String^ to std::string

Don't roll your own, use these handy (and extensible) wrappers provided by Microsoft.

System::String^ managed = "test";
std::string unmanaged = msclr::interop::marshal_as<std::string>(managed);

tsql returning a table from a function or store procedure

You need a special type of function known as a table valued function. Below is a somewhat long-winded example that builds a date dimension for a data warehouse. Note the returns clause that defines a table structure. You can insert anything into the table variable (@DateHierarchy in this case) that you want, including building a temporary table and copying the contents into it.

if object_id ('ods.uf_DateHierarchy') is not null
    drop function ods.uf_DateHierarchy
go

create function ods.uf_DateHierarchy (
       @DateFrom datetime
      ,@DateTo   datetime
) returns @DateHierarchy table (
        DateKey           datetime

How do I get the IP address into a batch-file variable?

If you want PowerShell or WSL2 bash:

I'm just building off of this answer on superuser,
but I found the following options much clearer way to get my LAN IP address:

  1. Find the name of the interface you want to know about
    For me, it was Configuration for interface "Wi-Fi",
    so for me the name is Wi-Fi.
    (Replace "Wi-Fi" in the command below with your interface name)

  2. PowerShell:

    $myip = netsh interface ip show address "Wi-Fi" `
      | where { $_ -match "IP Address"} `
      | %{ $_ -replace "^.*IP Address:\W*", ""}
    
    echo $myip
    

    Output: 192.168.1.10

  3. Or, my edge case, executing command in WSL2:

    netsh.exe interface ip show address "Wi-Fi" \
       | grep 'IP Address' \
       | sed -r 's/^.*IP Address:\W*//'
    
    # e.g.
    export REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=$(netsh.exe interface ip show address "Wi-Fi" \
       | grep 'IP Address' \
       | sed -r 's/^.*IP Address:\W*//')

How to test if a string contains one of the substrings in a list, in pandas?

You can use str.contains alone with a regex pattern using OR (|):

s[s.str.contains('og|at')]

Or you could add the series to a dataframe then use str.contains:

df = pd.DataFrame(s)
df[s.str.contains('og|at')] 

Output:

0 cat
1 hat
2 dog
3 fog

typescript - cloning object

Here is a modern implementation that accounts for Set and Map too:

export function deepClone<T extends object>(value: T): T {
  if (typeof value !== 'object' || value === null) {
    return value;
  }

  if (value instanceof Set) {
    return new Set(Array.from(value, deepClone)) as T;
  }

  if (value instanceof Map) {
    return new Map(Array.from(value, ([k, v]) => [k, deepClone(v)])) as T;
  }

  if (value instanceof Date) {
    return new Date(value) as T;
  }

  if (value instanceof RegExp) {
    return new RegExp(value.source, value.flags) as T;
  }

  return Object.keys(value).reduce((acc, key) => {
    return Object.assign(acc, { [key]: deepClone(value[key]) });
  }, (Array.isArray(value) ? [] : {}) as T);
}

Trying it out:

deepClone({
  test1: { '1': 1, '2': {}, '3': [1, 2, 3] },
  test2: [1, 2, 3],
  test3: new Set([1, 2, [1, 2, 3]]),
  test4: new Map([['1', 1], ['2', 2], ['3', 3]])
});

test1:
  1: 1
  2: {}
  3: [1, 2, 3]

test2: Array(3)
  0: 1
  1: 2
  2: 3

test3: Set(3)
  0: 1
  1: 2
  2: [1, 2, 3]

test4: Map(3)
  0: {"1" => 1}
  1: {"2" => 2}
  2: {"3" => 3}

Check if string is in a pandas dataframe

it seems that the OP meant to find out whether the string 'Mel' exists in a particular column, not contained in a column, therefore the use of contains is not needed, and is not efficient. A simple equals-to is enough:

PHP Constants Containing Arrays?

Doing some sort of ser/deser or encode/decode trick seems ugly and requires you to remember what exactly you did when you are trying to use the constant. I think the class private static variable with accessor is a decent solution, but I'll do you one better. Just have a public static getter method that returns the definition of the constant array. This requires a minimum of extra code and the array definition cannot be accidentally modified.

class UserRoles {
    public static function getDefaultRoles() {
        return array('guy', 'development team');
    }
}

initMyRoles( UserRoles::getDefaultRoles() );

If you want to really make it look like a defined constant you could give it an all caps name, but then it would be confusing to remember to add the '()' parentheses after the name.

class UserRoles {
    public static function DEFAULT_ROLES() { return array('guy', 'development team'); }
}

//but, then the extra () looks weird...
initMyRoles( UserRoles::DEFAULT_ROLES() );

I suppose you could make the method global to be closer to the define() functionality you were asking for, but you really should scope the constant name anyhow and avoid globals.

Codeigniter : calling a method of one controller from other

Very simple way in codeigniter to call a method of one controller to other controller

1. Controller A 
   class A extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    function custom_a()
    {
    }
}

2. Controller B 

   class B extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    function custom_b()
    {
            require_once(APPPATH.'controllers/a.php'); //include controller
            $aObj = new a();  //create object 
            $aObj->custom_a(); //call function
    }
}

Post a json object to mvc controller with jquery and ajax

What am I doing incorrectly?

You have to convert html to javascript object, and then as a second step to json throug JSON.Stringify.

How can I receive a json object in the controller?

View:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marioizquierdo/jquery.serializeJSON/master/jquery.serializejson.js"></script>

var obj = $("#form1").serializeJSON({ useIntKeysAsArrayIndex: true });
$.post("http://localhost:52161/Default/PostRawJson/", { json: JSON.stringify(obj) });

<form id="form1" method="post">
<input name="OrderDate" type="text" /><br />
<input name="Item[0][Id]" type="text" /><br />
<input name="Item[1][Id]" type="text" /><br />
<button id="btn" onclick="btnClick()">Button</button>
</form>

Controller:

public void PostRawJson(string json)
{
    var order = System.Web.Helpers.Json.Decode(json);
    var orderDate = order.OrderDate;
    var secondOrderId = order.Item[1].Id;
}

Unable to merge dex

Pay attention to Warnings!

Sometimes you only need to eliminate warnings and the error will be disappeared automatically. See below special case:


I had these two dependencies in my module-level build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.2'

and Studio had warned (in addition to dex merging problem):

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 27.0.2, 21.0.3. Examples include com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:27.0.2 and com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3

So I explicitly determined the version of com.android.support:support-v4 (see here for details) and both problems (the warning and the one related to dex merging) solved:

implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2'  // Added this line (according to above warning message)
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.2'

See below comments for other similar situations.

Maximum length of HTTP GET request

The limit is dependent on both the server and the client used (and if applicable, also the proxy the server or the client is using).

Most web servers have a limit of 8192 bytes (8 KB), which is usually configurable somewhere in the server configuration. As to the client side matter, the HTTP 1.1 specification even warns about this. Here's an extract of chapter 3.2.1:

Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy implementations might not properly support these lengths.

The limit in Internet Explorer and Safari is about 2 KB, in Opera about 4 KB and in Firefox about 8 KB. We may thus assume that 8 KB is the maximum possible length and that 2 KB is a more affordable length to rely on at the server side and that 255 bytes is the safest length to assume that the entire URL will come in.

If the limit is exceeded in either the browser or the server, most will just truncate the characters outside the limit without any warning. Some servers however may send an HTTP 414 error.

If you need to send large data, then better use POST instead of GET. Its limit is much higher, but more dependent on the server used than the client. Usually up to around 2 GB is allowed by the average web server.

This is also configurable somewhere in the server settings. The average server will display a server-specific error/exception when the POST limit is exceeded, usually as an HTTP 500 error.

Spring Boot JPA - configuring auto reconnect

As some people already pointed out, spring-boot 1.4+, has specific namespaces for the four connections pools. By default, hikaricp is used in spring-boot 2+. So you will have to specify the SQL here. The default is SELECT 1. Here's what you would need for DB2 for example: spring.datasource.hikari.connection-test-query=SELECT current date FROM sysibm.sysdummy1

Caveat: If your driver supports JDBC4 we strongly recommend not setting this property. This is for "legacy" drivers that do not support the JDBC4 Connection.isValid() API. This is the query that will be executed just before a connection is given to you from the pool to validate that the connection to the database is still alive. Again, try running the pool without this property, HikariCP will log an error if your driver is not JDBC4 compliant to let you know. Default: none

Arrays in type script

This is a very c# type of code:

var bks: Book[] = new Book[2];

In Javascript / Typescript you don't allocate memory up front like that, and that means something completely different. This is how you would do what you want to do:

var bks: Book[] = [];
bks.push(new Book());
bks[0].Author = "vamsee";
bks[0].BookId = 1;
return bks.length;

Now to explain what new Book[2]; would mean. This would actually mean that call the new operator on the value of Book[2]. e.g.:

Book[2] = function (){alert("hey");}
var foo = new Book[2]

and you should see hey. Try it

String Concatenation using '+' operator

It doesn't - the C# compiler does :)

So this code:

string x = "hello";
string y = "there";
string z = "chaps";
string all = x + y + z;

actually gets compiled as:

string x = "hello";
string y = "there";
string z = "chaps";
string all = string.Concat(x, y, z);

(Gah - intervening edit removed other bits accidentally.)

The benefit of the C# compiler noticing that there are multiple string concatenations here is that you don't end up creating an intermediate string of x + y which then needs to be copied again as part of the concatenation of (x + y) and z. Instead, we get it all done in one go.

EDIT: Note that the compiler can't do anything if you concatenate in a loop. For example, this code:

string x = "";
foreach (string y in strings)
{
    x += y;
}

just ends up as equivalent to:

string x = "";
foreach (string y in strings)
{
    x = string.Concat(x, y);
}

... so this does generate a lot of garbage, and it's why you should use a StringBuilder for such cases. I have an article going into more details about the two which will hopefully answer further questions.

Are there benefits of passing by pointer over passing by reference in C++?

Most of the answers here fail to address the inherent ambiguity in having a raw pointer in a function signature, in terms of expressing intent. The problems are the following:

  • The caller does not know whether the pointer points to a single objects, or to the start of an "array" of objects.

  • The caller does not know whether the pointer "owns" the memory it points to. IE, whether or not the function should free up the memory. (foo(new int) - Is this a memory leak?).

  • The caller does not know whether or not nullptr can be safely passed into the function.

All of these problems are solved by references:

  • References always refer to a single object.

  • References never own the memory they refer to, they are merely a view into memory.

  • References can't be null.

This makes references a much better candidate for general use. However, references aren't perfect - there are a couple of major problems to consider.

  • No explicit indirection. This is not a problem with a raw pointer, as we have to use the & operator to show that we are indeed passing a pointer. For example, int a = 5; foo(a); It is not clear at all here that a is being passed by reference and could be modified.
  • Nullability. This weakness of pointers can also be a strength, when we actually want our references to be nullable. Seeing as std::optional<T&> isn't valid (for good reasons), pointers give us that nullability you want.

So it seems that when we want a nullable reference with explicit indirection, we should reach for a T* right? Wrong!

Abstractions

In our desperation for nullability, we may reach for T*, and simply ignore all of the shortcomings and semantic ambiguity listed earlier. Instead, we should reach for what C++ does best: an abstraction. If we simply write a class that wraps around a pointer, we gain the expressiveness, as well as the nullability and explicit indirection.

template <typename T>
struct optional_ref {
  optional_ref() : ptr(nullptr) {}
  optional_ref(T* t) : ptr(t) {}
  optional_ref(std::nullptr_t) : ptr(nullptr) {}

  T& get() const {
    return *ptr;
  }

  explicit operator bool() const {
    return bool(ptr);
  }

private:
  T* ptr;
};

This is the most simple interface I could come up with, but it does the job effectively. It allows for initializing the reference, checking whether a value exists and accessing the value. We can use it like so:

void foo(optional_ref<int> x) {
  if (x) {
    auto y = x.get();
    // use y here
  }
}

int x = 5;
foo(&x); // explicit indirection here
foo(nullptr); // nullability

We have acheived our goals! Let's now see the benefits, in comparison to the raw pointer.

  • The interface shows clearly that the reference should only refer to one object.
  • Clearly it does not own the memory it refers to, as it has no user defined destructor and no method to delete the memory.
  • The caller knows nullptr can be passed in, since the function author explicitly is asking for an optional_ref

We could make the interface more complex from here, such as adding equality operators, a monadic get_or and map interface, a method that gets the value or throws an exception, constexpr support. That can be done by you.

In conclusion, instead of using raw pointers, reason about what those pointers actually mean in your code, and either leverage a standard library abstraction or write your own. This will improve your code significantly.

C++ undefined reference to defined function

Though previous posters covered your particular error, you can get 'Undefined reference' linker errors when attempting to compile C code with g++, if you don't tell the compiler to use C linkage.

For example you should do this in your C header files:

extern "C" {

...

void myfunc(int param);

To make 'myfunc' available in C++ programs.

If you still also want to use this from C, wrap the extern "C" { and } in #ifdef __cplusplus preprocessor conditionals, like

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

This way, the extern block will just be “skipped” when using a C compiler.

Is it possible to change the location of packages for NuGet?

A solution for Nuget 3.2 on Visual Studio 2015 is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <config>
        <add key="repositoryPath" value="../lib" />
    </config>
</configuration>

Using forward slash for parent folder. Save above file (nuget.config) in solution folder.

String.Format alternative in C++

You can use sprintf in combination with std::string.c_str().

c_str() returns a const char* and works with sprintf:

string a = "test";
string b = "text.txt";
string c = "text1.txt";
char* x = new char[a.length() + b.length() + c.length() + 32];

sprintf(x, "%s %s > %s", a.c_str(), b.c_str(), c.c_str() );

string str = x;
delete[] x;

or you can use a pre-allocated char array if you know the size:

string a = "test";
string b = "text.txt";
string c = "text1.txt";
char x[256];

sprintf(x, "%s %s > %s", a.c_str(), b.c_str(), c.c_str() );

Parse JSON file using GSON

One thing that to be remembered while solving such problems is that in JSON file, a { indicates a JSONObject and a [ indicates JSONArray. If one could manage them properly, it would be very easy to accomplish the task of parsing the JSON file. The above code was really very helpful for me and I hope this content adds some meaning to the above code.

The Gson JsonReader documentation explains how to handle parsing of JsonObjects and JsonArrays:

  • Within array handling methods, first call beginArray() to consume the array's opening bracket. Then create a while loop that accumulates values, terminating when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the array's closing bracket by calling endArray().
  • Within object handling methods, first call beginObject() to consume the object's opening brace. Then create a while loop that assigns values to local variables based on their name. This loop should terminate when hasNext() is false. Finally, read the object's closing brace by calling endObject().

Replacing few values in a pandas dataframe column with another value

Just wanted to show that there is no performance difference between the 2 main ways of doing it:

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,10,size=(100, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))

def loc():
    df1.loc[df1["A"] == 2] = 5
%timeit loc
19.9 ns ± 0.0873 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)


def replace():
    df2['A'].replace(
        to_replace=2,
        value=5,
        inplace=True
    )
%timeit replace
19.6 ns ± 0.509 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

Finding out the name of the original repository you cloned from in Git

This is quick Bash command, that you're probably searching for, will print only a basename of the remote repository:

Where you fetch from:

basename $(git remote show -n origin | grep Fetch | cut -d: -f2-)

Alternatively where you push to:

basename $(git remote show -n origin | grep Push | cut -d: -f2-)

Especially the -n option makes the command much quicker.

Error handling with try and catch in Laravel

You are inside a namespace so you should use \Exception to specify the global namespace:

try {

  $this->buildXMLHeader();

} catch (\Exception $e) {

    return $e->getMessage();
}

In your code you've used catch (Exception $e) so Exception is being searched in/as:

App\Services\PayUService\Exception

Since there is no Exception class inside App\Services\PayUService so it's not being triggered. Alternatively, you can use a use statement at the top of your class like use Exception; and then you can use catch (Exception $e).

Android Studio error: "Environment variable does not point to a valid JVM installation"

In my case, the problem was that a line feed had gotten into the setting of the JAVA_HOME variable. I'm not sure how, but I was mucking with it earlier because I had had an issue with an unrelated ant build that was using JAVA_HOME, and I copied the path in.

I noticed the problem partially when I did a "set" command from the command line, and it showed "JAVA_HOME" on one line and the path on the next line, and a blank line after it.

But what really helped was running the gradle command. It gave the same error message. That gave me confidence that the problem really was the JAVA_HOME variable, and not the Android Studio install.

To solve the problem, I deleted the JAVA_HOME variable first. Then, when setting up the command to set the variable, I keyed in the path manually in Textpad, to make sure there were no linefeeds or carriage returns.

Then I ran the command:

setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71"

How to concatenate multiple lines of output to one line?

Here is the method using ex editor (part of Vim):

  • Join all lines and print to the standard output:

    $ ex +%j +%p -scq! file
    
  • Join all lines in-place (in the file):

    $ ex +%j -scwq file
    

    Note: This will concatenate all lines inside the file it-self!

What's the difference between display:inline-flex and display:flex?

You can display flex items inline, providing your assumption is based on wanting flexible inline items in the 1st place. Using flex implies a flexible block level element.

The simplest approach is to use a flex container with its children set to a flex property. In terms of code this looks like this:

.parent{
   display: inline-flex;
}

.children{
   flex: 1;
}

flex: 1 denotes a ratio, similar to percentages of a element's width.

Check these two links in order to see simple live Flexbox examples:

  1. https://njbenjamin.com/bundle-3.htm
  2. https://njbenjamin.com/bundle-4.htm

If you use the 1st example:

https://njbenjamin.com/flex/index_1.htm

You can play around with your browser console, to change the display of the container element between flex and inline-flex.

Input text dialog Android

I will add to @Aaron's answer with an approach that gives you the opportunity to style the dialog box in a better way. Here is an adjusted example:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
builder.setTitle("Title");
// I'm using fragment here so I'm using getView() to provide ViewGroup
// but you can provide here any other instance of ViewGroup from your Fragment / Activity
View viewInflated = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.text_inpu_password, (ViewGroup) getView(), false);
// Set up the input
final EditText input = (EditText) viewInflated.findViewById(R.id.input);
// Specify the type of input expected; this, for example, sets the input as a password, and will mask the text
builder.setView(viewInflated);

// Set up the buttons
builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        dialog.dismiss();
        m_Text = input.getText().toString();
    }   
}); 
builder.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        dialog.cancel();
    }   
}); 

builder.show();

Here is the example layout used to create the EditText dialog:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="@dimen/content_padding_normal">

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <AutoCompleteTextView
            android:id="@+id/input"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/hint_password"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:inputType="textPassword" />

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
</FrameLayout>

The final result:

Preferred Java way to ping an HTTP URL for availability

Consider using the Restlet framework, which has great semantics for this sort of thing. It's powerful and flexible.

The code could be as simple as:

Client client = new Client(Protocol.HTTP);
Response response = client.get(url);
if (response.getStatus().isError()) {
    // uh oh!
}

What is the most efficient way to deep clone an object in JavaScript?

Checkout this benchmark: http://jsben.ch/#/bWfk9

In my previous tests where speed was a main concern I found

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))

to be the slowest way to deep clone an object (it is slower than jQuery.extend with deep flag set true by 10-20%).

jQuery.extend is pretty fast when the deep flag is set to false (shallow clone). It is a good option, because it includes some extra logic for type validation and doesn't copy over undefined properties, etc., but this will also slow you down a little.

If you know the structure of the objects you are trying to clone or can avoid deep nested arrays you can write a simple for (var i in obj) loop to clone your object while checking hasOwnProperty and it will be much much faster than jQuery.

Lastly if you are attempting to clone a known object structure in a hot loop you can get MUCH MUCH MORE PERFORMANCE by simply in-lining the clone procedure and manually constructing the object.

JavaScript trace engines suck at optimizing for..in loops and checking hasOwnProperty will slow you down as well. Manual clone when speed is an absolute must.

var clonedObject = {
  knownProp: obj.knownProp,
  ..
}

Beware using the JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) method on Date objects - JSON.stringify(new Date()) returns a string representation of the date in ISO format, which JSON.parse() doesn't convert back to a Date object. See this answer for more details.

Additionally, please note that, in Chrome 65 at least, native cloning is not the way to go. According to JSPerf, performing native cloning by creating a new function is nearly 800x slower than using JSON.stringify which is incredibly fast all the way across the board.

Update for ES6

If you are using Javascript ES6 try this native method for cloning or shallow copy.

Object.assign({}, obj);

Python function to convert seconds into minutes, hours, and days

This tidbit is useful for displaying elapsed time to varying degrees of granularity.

I personally think that questions of efficiency are practically meaningless here, so long as something grossly inefficient isn't being done. Premature optimization is the root of quite a bit of evil. This is fast enough that it'll never be your choke point.

intervals = (
    ('weeks', 604800),  # 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
    ('days', 86400),    # 60 * 60 * 24
    ('hours', 3600),    # 60 * 60
    ('minutes', 60),
    ('seconds', 1),
    )

def display_time(seconds, granularity=2):
    result = []

    for name, count in intervals:
        value = seconds // count
        if value:
            seconds -= value * count
            if value == 1:
                name = name.rstrip('s')
            result.append("{} {}".format(value, name))
    return ', '.join(result[:granularity])

..and this provides decent output:

In [52]: display_time(1934815)
Out[52]: '3 weeks, 1 day'

In [53]: display_time(1934815, 4)
Out[53]: '3 weeks, 1 day, 9 hours, 26 minutes'

How to "set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug"

I had the same problem with Xcode. I followed steps you gave and it didn't work. I became crazy because in every forum I saw, all clues for this problem are the one you gave. I finally saw I put a space after the malloc_error_break, I suppressed it and now it works. A dumb problem but if the solution doesn't work, be sure you haven't put any space before and after the malloc_error_break.

Trying to load local JSON file to show data in a html page using JQuery

Due to security issues (same origin policy), javascript access to local files is restricted if without user interaction.

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Same-origin_policy_for_file:_URIs:

A file can read another file only if the parent directory of the originating file is an ancestor directory of the target file.

Imagine a situation when javascript from a website tries to steal your files anywhere in your system without you being aware of. You have to deploy it to a web server. Or try to load it with a script tag. Like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>        
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="priorities.json"></script> 

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(e) {
         alert(jsonObject.start.count);
   });
</script>

Your priorities.json file:

var jsonObject = {
"start": {
    "count": "5",
    "title": "start",
    "priorities": [
        {
            "txt": "Work"
        },
        {
            "txt": "Time Sense"
        },
        {
            "txt": "Dicipline"
        },
        {
            "txt": "Confidence"
        },
        {
            "txt": "CrossFunctional"
        }
    ]
}
}

Or declare a callback function on your page and wrap it like jsonp technique:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.min.js">    </script> 
     <script type="text/javascript">
           $(document).ready(function(e) {

           });

           function jsonCallback(jsonObject){
               alert(jsonObject.start.count);
           }
        </script>

 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="priorities.json"></script> 

Your priorities.json file:

jsonCallback({
    "start": {
        "count": "5",
        "title": "start",
        "priorities": [
            {
                "txt": "Work"
            },
            {
                "txt": "Time Sense"
            },
            {
                "txt": "Dicipline"
            },
            {
                "txt": "Confidence"
            },
            {
                "txt": "CrossFunctional"
            }
        ]
    }
    })

Using script tag is a similar technique to JSONP, but with this approach it's not so flexible. I recommend deploying it on a web server.

With user interaction, javascript is allowed access to files. That's the case of File API. Using file api, javascript can access files selected by the user from <input type="file"/> or dropped from the desktop to the browser.

Parse (split) a string in C++ using string delimiter (standard C++)

Since this is the top-rated Stack Overflow Google search result for C++ split string or similar, I'll post a complete, copy/paste runnable example that shows both methods.

splitString uses stringstream (probably the better and easier option in most cases)

splitString2 uses find and substr (a more manual approach)

// SplitString.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

// function prototypes
std::vector<std::string> splitString(const std::string& str, char delim);
std::vector<std::string> splitString2(const std::string& str, char delim);
std::string getSubstring(const std::string& str, int leftIdx, int rightIdx);


int main(void)
{
  // Test cases - all will pass
  
  std::string str = "ab,cd,ef";
  //std::string str = "abcdef";
  //std::string str = "";
  //std::string str = ",cd,ef";
  //std::string str = "ab,cd,";   // behavior of splitString and splitString2 is different for this final case only, if this case matters to you choose which one you need as applicable
  
  
  std::vector<std::string> tokens = splitString(str, ',');
  
  std::cout << "tokens: " << "\n";
  
  if (tokens.empty())
  {
    std::cout << "(tokens is empty)" << "\n";
  }
  else
  {
    for (auto& token : tokens)
    {
      if (token == "") std::cout << "(empty string)" << "\n";
      else std::cout << token << "\n";
    }
  }
    
  return 0;
}

std::vector<std::string> splitString(const std::string& str, char delim)
{
  std::vector<std::string> tokens;
  
  if (str == "") return tokens;
  
  std::string currentToken;
  
  std::stringstream ss(str);
  
  while (std::getline(ss, currentToken, delim))
  {
    tokens.push_back(currentToken);
  }
  
  return tokens;
}

std::vector<std::string> splitString2(const std::string& str, char delim)
{
  std::vector<std::string> tokens;
  
  if (str == "") return tokens;
  
  int leftIdx = 0;
  
  int delimIdx = str.find(delim);
  
  int rightIdx;
  
  while (delimIdx != std::string::npos)
  {
    rightIdx = delimIdx - 1;
    
    std::string token = getSubstring(str, leftIdx, rightIdx);
    tokens.push_back(token);
    
    // prep for next time around
    leftIdx = delimIdx + 1;
    
    delimIdx = str.find(delim, delimIdx + 1);
  }
  
  rightIdx = str.size() - 1;
  
  std::string token = getSubstring(str, leftIdx, rightIdx);
  tokens.push_back(token);
  
  return tokens;
}

std::string getSubstring(const std::string& str, int leftIdx, int rightIdx)
{
  return str.substr(leftIdx, rightIdx - leftIdx + 1);
}

How to do a case sensitive search in WHERE clause (I'm using SQL Server)?

Can be done via changing the Collation. By default it is case insensitive.

Excerpt from the link:

SELECT 1
FROM dbo.Customers
WHERE   CustID = @CustID COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
    AND CustPassword = @CustPassword COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS

Or, change the columns to be case sensitive.

Unable to run 'adb root' on a rooted Android phone

I finally found out how to do this! Basically you need to run adb shell first and then while you're in the shell run su, which will switch the shell to run as root!

$: adb shell
$: su

The one problem I still have is that sqlite3 is not installed so the command is not recognized.

Converting a String to DateTime

Use DateTime.Parse(string):

DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Parse(dateTimeStr);

How to import a class from default package

From the Java language spec:

It is a compile time error to import a type from the unnamed package.

You'll have to access the class via reflection or some other indirect method.

How to download image using requests

You can either use the response.raw file object, or iterate over the response.

To use the response.raw file-like object will not, by default, decode compressed responses (with GZIP or deflate). You can force it to decompress for you anyway by setting the decode_content attribute to True (requests sets it to False to control decoding itself). You can then use shutil.copyfileobj() to have Python stream the data to a file object:

import requests
import shutil

r = requests.get(settings.STATICMAP_URL.format(**data), stream=True)
if r.status_code == 200:
    with open(path, 'wb') as f:
        r.raw.decode_content = True
        shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, f)        

To iterate over the response use a loop; iterating like this ensures that data is decompressed by this stage:

r = requests.get(settings.STATICMAP_URL.format(**data), stream=True)
if r.status_code == 200:
    with open(path, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in r:
            f.write(chunk)

This'll read the data in 128 byte chunks; if you feel another chunk size works better, use the Response.iter_content() method with a custom chunk size:

r = requests.get(settings.STATICMAP_URL.format(**data), stream=True)
if r.status_code == 200:
    with open(path, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in r.iter_content(1024):
            f.write(chunk)

Note that you need to open the destination file in binary mode to ensure python doesn't try and translate newlines for you. We also set stream=True so that requests doesn't download the whole image into memory first.

How to fix Array indexOf() in JavaScript for Internet Explorer browsers

it works for me.

if (!Array.prototype.indexOf) {
  Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt /*, from*/) {
    var len = this.length >>> 0;

    var from = Number(arguments[1]) || 0;
    from = (from < 0)? Math.ceil(from) : Math.floor(from);
    if (from < 0)
    from += len;

    for (; from < len; from++) {
      if (from in this && this[from] === elt)
        return from;
    }
    return -1;
  };
}

   | traffic at times, so people have mirrored it to several places.
   |
   | That repository definition will have a unique id, so we can create a
   | mirror reference for that repository, to be used as an alternate download
   | site. The mirror site will be the preferred server for that repository.
   |-->
  <mirrors>
    <!-- mirror
     | Specifies a repository mirror site to use instead of a given repository.
     | The repository that this mirror serves has an ID that matches the
     | mirrorOf element of this mirror. IDs are used for inheritance and direct
     | lookup purposes, and must be unique across the set of mirrors.

Profiles (1/3):

  <!-- profiles
   | This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways,
   | and which can modify the build process. Profiles provided in the
   | settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-specific paths and
   | repository locations which allow the build to work in the local
   | environment.
   |
   | For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus -
   | that needs to know where your Tomcat instance is installed, you can
   | provide a variable here such that the variable is dereferenced during the
   | build process to configure the cactus plugin.
   |
   | As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One
   | way - the activeProfiles section of this document (settings.xml) - will be
   | discussed later. Another way essentially relies on the detection of a
   | system property, either matching a particular value for the property, or
   | merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK
   | version prefix, where a value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the
   | build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'. Finally, the list of
   | active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.
   |
   | NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to
   |       specifying only artifact repositories, plugin repositories, and
   |       free-form properties to be used as configuration variables for
   |       plugins in the POM.
   |
   |-->

Profiles (2/3):

  <profiles>
    <!-- profile
     | Specifies a set of introductions to the build process, to be activated
     | using one or more of the mechanisms described above. For inheritance
     | purposes, and to activate profiles via <activatedProfiles/> or the
     | command line, profiles have to have an ID that is unique.
     |
     | An encouraged best practice for profile identification is to use a
     | consistent naming convention for profiles, such as 'env-dev',
     | 'env-test', 'env-production', 'user-jdcasey', 'user-brett', etc. This
     | will make it more intuitive to understand what the set of introduced
     | profiles is attempting to accomplish, particularly when you only have a
     | list of profile id's for debug.
     |
     | This profile example uses the JDK version to trigger activation, and
     | provides a JDK-specific repo.
    <profile>
      <id>jdk-1.4</id>

      <activation>
        <jdk>1.4</jdk>
      </activation>

      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>jdk14</id>
          <name>Repository for JDK 1.4 builds</name>
          <url>http://www.myhost.com/maven/jdk14</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
          <snapshotPolicy>always</snapshotPolicy>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
    -->

Profiles (3/3):

    <!--
     | Here is another profile, activated by the system property 'target-env'
     | with a value of 'dev', which provides a specific path to the Tomcat
     | instance. To use this, your plugin configuration might hypothetically
     | look like:
     |
     | ...
     | <plugin>
     |   <groupId>org.myco.myplugins</groupId>
     |   <artifactId>myplugin</artifactId>
     |
     |   <configuration>
     |     <tomcatLocation>${tomcatPath}</tomcatLocation>
     |   </configuration>
     | </plugin>
     | ...
     |
     | NOTE: If you just wanted to inject this configuration whenever someone
     |       set 'target-env' to anything, you could just leave off the
     |       <value/> inside the activation-property.
     |
    <profile>
      <id>env-dev</id>

      <activation>

  <!-- profiles
   | This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways,
   | and which can modify the build process. Profiles provided in the
   | settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-specific paths and
   | repository locations which allow the build to work in the local
   | environment.
   |
   | For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus -
   | that needs to know where your Tomcat instance is installed, you can
   | provide a variable here such that the variable is dereferenced during the
   | build process to configure the cactus plugin.
   |
   | As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One
   | way - the activeProfiles section of this document (settings.xml) - will be
   | discussed later. Another way essentially relies on the detection of a
   | system property, either matching a particular value for the property, or
   | merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK
   | version prefix, where a value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the
   | build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'. Finally, the list of
   | active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.
   |
   | NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to
   |       specifying only artifact repositories, plugin repositories, and
   |       free-form properties to be used as configuration variables for
   |       plugins in the POM.
   |

  <profiles>
    <!-- profile
     | Specifies a set of introductions to the build process, to be activated
     | using one or more of the mechanisms described above. For inheritance
     | purposes, and to activate profiles via <activatedProfiles/> or the
     | command line, profiles have to have an ID that is unique.
     |
     | An encouraged best practice for profile identification is to use a
     | consistent naming convention for profiles, such as 'env-dev',
     | 'env-test', 'env-production', 'user-jdcasey', 'user-brett', etc. This
     | will make it more intuitive to understand what the set of introduced
     | profiles is attempting to accomplish, particularly when you only have a
     | list of profile id's for debug.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class XXX

Just several days ago, I met the same question just like yours. All code runs well on my local machine, but turns out error(noclassdeffound&initialize). So I post my solution, but I don't know why, I merely advance a possibility. I hope someone know will explain this.@John Vint Firstly, I'll show you my problem. My code has static variable and static block both. When I first met this problem, I tried John Vint's solution, and tried to catch the exception. However, I caught nothing. So I thought it is because the static variable(but now I know they are the same thing) and still found nothing. So, I try to find the difference between the linux machine and my computer. Then I found that this problem happens only when several threads run in one process(By the way, the linux machine has double cores and double processes). That means if there are two tasks(both uses the code which has static block or variables) run in the same process, it goes wrong, but if they run in different processes, both of them are ok. In the Linux machine, I use

mvn -U clean  test -Dtest=path 

to run a task, and because my static variable is to start a container(or maybe you initialize a new classloader), so it will stay until the jvm stop, and the jvm stops only when all the tasks in one process stop. Every task will start a new container(or classloader) and it makes the jvm confused. As a result, the error happens. So, how to solve it? My solution is to add a new command to the maven command, and make every task go to the same container.

-Dxxx.version=xxxxx #sorry can't post more

Maybe you have already solved this problem, but still hope it will help others who meet the same problem.

Can I update a JSF component from a JSF backing bean method?

Everything is possible only if there is enough time to research :)

What I got to do is like having people that I iterate into a ui:repeat and display names and other fields in inputs. But one of fields was singleSelect - A and depending on it value update another input - B. even ui:repeat do not have id I put and it appeared in the DOM tree

<ui:repeat id="peopleRepeat"
value="#{myBean.people}"
var="person" varStatus="status">

Than the ids in the html were something like:

myForm:peopleRepeat:0:personType
myForm:peopleRepeat:1:personType

Than in the view I got one method like:

<p:ajax event="change"
listener="#{myBean.onPersonTypeChange(person, status.index)}"/>

And its implementation was in the bean like:

String componentId = "myForm:peopleRepeat" + idx + "personType";
PrimeFaces.current().ajax().update(componentId);

So this way I updated the element from the bean with no issues. PF version 6.2

Good luck and happy coding :)

Create an application setup in visual studio 2013

Microsoft recommends to use the "InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio" as replacement for the discontinued "Deployment and Setup Project" - but it is not so nice and nobody else recommends to use it. But for simple setups, and if it is not a problem to relay on commercial third party products, you can use it.

The alternative is to use Windows Installer XML (WiX), but you have to do many things manually that did the Setup-Project by itself.

Nginx -- static file serving confusion with root & alias

alias is used to replace the location part path (LPP) in the request path, while the root is used to be prepended to the request path.

They are two ways to map the request path to the final file path.

alias could only be used in location block, and it will override the outside root.

alias and root cannot be used in location block together.

Google Colab: how to read data from my google drive?

To extract Google Drive zip from a Google colab notebook for example:

import zipfile
from google.colab import drive

drive.mount('/content/drive/')

zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile("/content/drive/My Drive/ML/DataSet.zip", 'r')
zip_ref.extractall("/tmp")
zip_ref.close()

Correct way of using log4net (logger naming)

Regarding how you log messages within code, I would opt for the second approach:

ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Bar));
log.Info("message");

Where messages sent to the log above will be 'named' using the fully-qualifed type Bar, e.g.

MyNamespace.Foo.Bar [INFO] message

The advantage of this approach is that it is the de-facto standard for organising logging, it also allows you to filter your log messages by namespace. For example, you can specify that you want to log INFO level message, but raise the logging level for Bar specifically to DEBUG:

<log4net>
    <!-- appenders go here -->
    <root>
        <level value="INFO" />
        <appender-ref ref="myLogAppender" />
    </root>

    <logger name="MyNamespace.Foo.Bar">
        <level value="DEBUG" />
    </logger>
</log4net>

The ability to filter your logging via name is a powerful feature of log4net, if you simply log all your messages to "myLog", you loose much of this power!

Regarding the EPiServer CMS, you should be able to use the above approach to specify a different logging level for the CMS and your own code.

For further reading, here is a codeproject article I wrote on logging:

How to install Python packages from the tar.gz file without using pip install

You may use pip for that without using the network. See in the docs (search for "Install a particular source archive file"). Any of those should work:

pip install relative_path_to_seaborn.tar.gz    
pip install absolute_path_to_seaborn.tar.gz    
pip install file:///absolute_path_to_seaborn.tar.gz    

Or you may uncompress the archive and use setup.py directly with either pip or python:

cd directory_containing_tar.gz
tar -xvzf seaborn-0.10.1.tar.gz
pip install seaborn-0.10.1
python setup.py install

Of course, you should also download required packages and install them the same way before you proceed.

How to get StackPanel's children to fill maximum space downward?

An alternative method is to use a Grid with one column and n rows. Set all the rows heights to Auto, and the bottom-most row height to 1*.

I prefer this method because I've found Grids have better layout performance than DockPanels, StackPanels, and WrapPanels. But unless you're using them in an ItemTemplate (where the layout is being performed for a large number of items), you'll probably never notice.

List vs tuple, when to use each?

Must it be mutable? Use a list. Must it not be mutable? Use a tuple.

Otherwise, it's a question of choice.

For collections of heterogeneous objects (like a address broken into name, street, city, state and zip) I prefer to use a tuple. They can always be easily promoted to named tuples.

Likewise, if the collection is going to be iterated over, I prefer a list. If it's just a container to hold multiple objects as one, I prefer a tuple.

How to create a secure random AES key in Java?

Using KeyGenerator would be the preferred method. As Duncan indicated, I would certainly give the key size during initialization. KeyFactory is a method that should be used for pre-existing keys.

OK, so lets get to the nitty-gritty of this. In principle AES keys can have any value. There are no "weak keys" as in (3)DES. Nor are there any bits that have a specific meaning as in (3)DES parity bits. So generating a key can be as simple as generating a byte array with random values, and creating a SecretKeySpec around it.

But there are still advantages to the method you are using: the KeyGenerator is specifically created to generate keys. This means that the code may be optimized for this generation. This could have efficiency and security benefits. It might be programmed to avoid a timing side channel attacks that would expose the key, for instance. Note that it may already be a good idea to clear any byte[] that hold key information as they may be leaked into a swap file (this may be the case anyway though).

Furthermore, as said, not all algorithms are using fully random keys. So using KeyGenerator would make it easier to switch to other algorithms. More modern ciphers will only accept fully random keys though; this is seen as a major benefit over e.g. DES.

Finally, and in my case the most important reason, it that the KeyGenerator method is the only valid way of handling AES keys within a secure token (smart card, TPM, USB token or HSM). If you create the byte[] with the SecretKeySpec then the key must come from memory. That means that the key may be put in the secure token, but that the key is exposed in memory regardless. Normally, secure tokens only work with keys that are either generated in the secure token or are injected by e.g. a smart card or a key ceremony. A KeyGenerator can be supplied with a provider so that the key is directly generated within the secure token.

As indicated in Duncan's answer: always specify the key size (and any other parameters) explicitly. Do not rely on provider defaults as this will make it unclear what your application is doing, and each provider may have its own defaults.

How can I make Java print quotes, like "Hello"?

Take note, there are a few certain things to take note when running backslashes with specific characters.

How can I get jQuery to perform a synchronous, rather than asynchronous, Ajax request?

Firstly we should understand when we use $.ajax and when we use $.get/$.post

When we require low level control over the ajax request such as request header settings, caching settings, synchronous settings etc.then we should go for $.ajax.

$.get/$.post: When we do not require low level control over the ajax request.Only simple get/post the data to the server.It is shorthand of

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

and hence we can not use other features(sync,cache etc.) with $.get/$.post.

Hence for low level control(sync,cache,etc.) over ajax request,we should go for $.ajax

 $.ajax({
     type: 'GET',
      url: url,
      data: data,
      success: success,
      dataType: dataType,
      async:false
    });

What determines the monitor my app runs on?

Do not hold me to this but I am pretty sure it depends on the application it self. I know many always open on the main monitor, some will reopen to the same monitor they were previously run in, and some you can set. I know for example I have shortcuts to open command windows to particular directories, and each has an option in their properties to the location to open the window in. While Outlook just remembers and opens in the last screen it was open in. Then other apps open in what ever window the current focus is in.

So I am not sure there is a way to tell every program where to open. Hope that helps some.

How do I create a circle or square with just CSS - with a hollow center?

To my knowledge there is no cross-browser compatible way to make a circle with CSS & HTML only.

For the square I guess you could make a div with a border and a z-index higher than what you are putting it over. I don't understand why you would need to do this, when you could just put a border on the image or "something" itself.

If anyone else knows how to make a circle that is cross browser compatible with CSS & HTML only, I would love to hear about it!

How to access PHP session variables from jQuery function in a .js file?

You cant access PHP session variables/values in JS, one is server side (PHP), the other client side (JS).

What you can do is pass or return the SESSION value to your JS, by say, an AJAX call. In your JS, make a call to a PHP script which simply outputs for return to your JS the SESSION variable's value, then use your JS to handle this returned information.

Alternatively store the value in a COOKIE, which can be accessed by either framework..though this may not be the best approach in your situation.

OR you can generate some JS in your PHP which returns/sets the variable, i.e.:

<? php
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
    alert('".json_encode($_SESSION['msg'])."');
</script>";
?>

How to iterate for loop in reverse order in swift?

Apply the reverse function to the range to iterate backwards:

For Swift 1.2 and earlier:

// Print 10 through 1
for i in reverse(1...10) {
    println(i)
}

It also works with half-open ranges:

// Print 9 through 1
for i in reverse(1..<10) {
    println(i)
}

Note: reverse(1...10) creates an array of type [Int], so while this might be fine for small ranges, it would be wise to use lazy as shown below or consider the accepted stride answer if your range is large.


To avoid creating a large array, use lazy along with reverse(). The following test runs efficiently in a Playground showing it is not creating an array with one trillion Ints!

Test:

var count = 0
for i in lazy(1...1_000_000_000_000).reverse() {
    if ++count > 5 {
        break
    }
    println(i)
}

For Swift 2.0 in Xcode 7:

for i in (1...10).reverse() {
    print(i)
}

Note that in Swift 2.0, (1...1_000_000_000_000).reverse() is of type ReverseRandomAccessCollection<(Range<Int>)>, so this works fine:

var count = 0
for i in (1...1_000_000_000_000).reverse() {
    count += 1
    if count > 5 {
        break
    }
    print(i)
}

For Swift 3.0 reverse() has been renamed to reversed():

for i in (1...10).reversed() {
    print(i) // prints 10 through 1
}

Oracle Date datatype, transformed to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS TMZ' through SQL

There's a bit of confusion in your question:

  • a Date datatype doesn't save the time zone component. This piece of information is truncated and lost forever when you insert a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE into a Date.
  • When you want to display a date, either on screen or to send it to another system via a character API (XML, file...), you use the TO_CHAR function. In Oracle, a Date has no format: it is a point in time.
  • Reciprocally, you would use TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ to convert a VARCHAR2 to a TIMESTAMP, but this won't convert a Date to a TIMESTAMP.
  • You use FROM_TZ to add the time zone information to a TIMESTAMP (or a Date).
  • In Oracle, CST is a time zone but CDT is not. CDT is a daylight saving information.
  • To complicate things further, CST/CDT (-05:00) and CST/CST (-06:00) will have different values obviously, but the time zone CST will inherit the daylight saving information depending upon the date by default.

So your conversion may not be as simple as it looks.

Assuming that you want to convert a Date d that you know is valid at time zone CST/CST to the equivalent at time zone CST/CDT, you would use:

SQL> SELECT from_tz(d, '-06:00') initial_ts,
  2         from_tz(d, '-06:00') at time zone ('-05:00') converted_ts
  3    FROM (SELECT cast(to_date('2012-10-09 01:10:21',
  4                              'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') as timestamp) d
  5            FROM dual);

INITIAL_TS                      CONVERTED_TS
------------------------------- -------------------------------
09/10/12 01:10:21,000000 -06:00 09/10/12 02:10:21,000000 -05:00

My default timestamp format has been used here. I can specify a format explicitely:

SQL> SELECT to_char(from_tz(d, '-06:00'),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss TZR') initial_ts,
  2         to_char(from_tz(d, '-06:00') at time zone ('-05:00'),
  3                 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss TZR') converted_ts
  4    FROM (SELECT cast(to_date('2012-10-09 01:10:21',
  5                              'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') as timestamp) d
  6            FROM dual);

INITIAL_TS                      CONVERTED_TS
------------------------------- -------------------------------
2012-10-09 01:10:21 -06:00      2012-10-09 02:10:21 -05:00

Python string.replace regular expression

re.sub is definitely what you are looking for. And so you know, you don't need the anchors and the wildcards.

re.sub(r"(?i)interfaceOpDataFile", "interfaceOpDataFile %s" % filein, line)

will do the same thing--matching the first substring that looks like "interfaceOpDataFile" and replacing it.

Make index.html default, but allow index.php to be visited if typed in

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Put these two lines at the top of your .htaccess file. It will show .html in the URL for your .php pages.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1.html%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Use this for showing .php in URL for your .html pages.

Good ways to sort a queryset? - Django

What about

import operator

auths = Author.objects.order_by('-score')[:30]
ordered = sorted(auths, key=operator.attrgetter('last_name'))

In Django 1.4 and newer you can order by providing multiple fields.
Reference: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#order-by

order_by(*fields)

By default, results returned by a QuerySet are ordered by the ordering tuple given by the ordering option in the model’s Meta. You can override this on a per-QuerySet basis by using the order_by method.

Example:

ordered_authors = Author.objects.order_by('-score', 'last_name')[:30]

The result above will be ordered by score descending, then by last_name ascending. The negative sign in front of "-score" indicates descending order. Ascending order is implied.

How to check if a query string value is present via JavaScript?

This should help:

function getQueryParams(){
    try{
        url = window.location.href;
        query_str = url.substr(url.indexOf('?')+1, url.length-1);
        r_params = query_str.split('&');
        params = {}
        for( i in r_params){
            param = r_params[i].split('=');
            params[ param[0] ] = param[1];
        }
        return params;
    }
    catch(e){
       return {};
    }
}

How to Create a Form Dynamically Via Javascript

some thing as follows ::

Add this After the body tag

This is a rough sketch, you will need to modify it according to your needs.

<script>
var f = document.createElement("form");
f.setAttribute('method',"post");
f.setAttribute('action',"submit.php");

var i = document.createElement("input"); //input element, text
i.setAttribute('type',"text");
i.setAttribute('name',"username");

var s = document.createElement("input"); //input element, Submit button
s.setAttribute('type',"submit");
s.setAttribute('value',"Submit");

f.appendChild(i);
f.appendChild(s);

//and some more input elements here
//and dont forget to add a submit button

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(f);

</script>

How to read a configuration file in Java

Create a configuration file and put your entries there.

SERVER_PORT=10000

How to write specific CSS for mozilla, chrome and IE

You could use php to echo the browser name as a body class, e.g.

<body class="mozilla">

Then, your conditional CSS would look like

.ie #container { top: 5px;}
.mozilla #container { top: 5px;}
.chrome #container { top: 5px;}

JIRA JQL searching by date - is there a way of getting Today() (Date) instead of Now() (DateTime)

In case you want to search for all the issues updated after 9am previous day until today at 9AM, please try: updated >= startOfDay(-15h) and updated <= startOfDay(9h). (explanation: 9AM - 24h/day = -15h)

You can also use updated >= startOfDay(-900m) . where 900m = 15h*60m

Node.js: get path from the request

Based on @epegzz suggestion for the regex.

( url ) => {
  return url.match('^[^?]*')[0].split('/').slice(1)
}

returns an array with paths.

window.onload vs <body onload=""/>

<body onload=""> should override window.onload.

With <body onload="">, document.body.onload might be null, undefined or a function depending on the browser (although getAttribute("onload") should be somewhat consistent for getting the body of the anonymous function as a string). With window.onload, when you assign a function to it, window.onload will be a function consistently across browsers. If that matters to you, use window.onload.

window.onload is better for separating the JS from your content anyway. There's not much reason to use <body onload=""> anyway when you can use window.onload.

In Opera, the event target for window.onload and <body onload=""> (and even window.addEventListener("load", func, false)) will be the window instead of the document like in Safari and Firefox. But, 'this' will be the window across browsers.

What this means is that, when it matters, you should wrap the crud and make things consistent or use a library that does it for you.

Unable to find velocity template resources

You can just use it like this:

Template t = ve.getTemplate("./src/main/resources/templates/email_html_new.vm");

It works.

javascript toISOString() ignores timezone offset

This date function below achieves the desired effect without an additional script library. Basically it's just a simple date component concatenation in the right format, and augmenting of the Date object's prototype.

 Date.prototype.dateToISO8601String  = function() {
    var padDigits = function padDigits(number, digits) {
        return Array(Math.max(digits - String(number).length + 1, 0)).join(0) + number;
    }
    var offsetMinutes = this.getTimezoneOffset();
    var offsetHours = offsetMinutes / 60;
    var offset= "Z";    
    if (offsetHours < 0)
      offset = "-" + padDigits(offsetHours.replace("-","") + "00",4);
    else if (offsetHours > 0) 
      offset = "+" + padDigits(offsetHours  + "00", 4);

    return this.getFullYear() 
            + "-" + padDigits((this.getUTCMonth()+1),2) 
            + "-" + padDigits(this.getUTCDate(),2) 
            + "T" 
            + padDigits(this.getUTCHours(),2)
            + ":" + padDigits(this.getUTCMinutes(),2)
            + ":" + padDigits(this.getUTCSeconds(),2)
            + "." + padDigits(this.getUTCMilliseconds(),2)
            + offset;

}

Date.dateFromISO8601 = function(isoDateString) {
      var parts = isoDateString.match(/\d+/g);
      var isoTime = Date.UTC(parts[0], parts[1] - 1, parts[2], parts[3], parts[4], parts[5]);
      var isoDate = new Date(isoTime);
      return isoDate;       
}

function test() {
    var dIn = new Date();
    var isoDateString = dIn.dateToISO8601String();
    var dOut = Date.dateFromISO8601(isoDateString);
    var dInStr = dIn.toUTCString();
    var dOutStr = dOut.toUTCString();
    console.log("Dates are equal: " + (dInStr == dOutStr));
}

Usage:

var d = new Date();
console.log(d.dateToISO8601String());

Hopefully this helps someone else.

EDIT

Corrected UTC issue mentioned in comments, and credit to Alex for the dateFromISO8601 function.

Warning: #1265 Data truncated for column 'pdd' at row 1

As the message error says, you need to Increase the length of your column to fit the length of the data you are trying to insert (0000-00-00)

EDIT 1:

Following your comment, I run a test table:

mysql> create table testDate(id int(2) not null auto_increment, pdd date default null, primary key(id));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)

Insertion:

mysql> insert into testDate values(1,'0000-00-00');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)

EDIT 2:

So, aparently you want to insert a NULL value to pdd field as your comment states ? You can do that in 2 ways like this:

Method 1:

mysql> insert into testDate values(2,'');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.06 sec)

Method 2:

mysql> insert into testDate values(3,NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)

EDIT 3:

You failed to change the default value of pdd field. Here is the syntax how to do it (in my case, I set it to NULL in the start, now I will change it to NOT NULL)

mysql> alter table testDate modify pdd date not null;
Query OK, 3 rows affected, 1 warning (0.60 sec)
Records: 3  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 1
