How can I find the link URL by link text with XPath?

Too late for you, but for anyone else with the same question...

//a[contains(text(), 'programming')]/@href

Of course, 'programming' can be any text fragment.

Content Type text/xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service

I had this error and all the configurations mentioned above were correct however I was still getting "The client and service bindings may be mismatched" error.

What resolved my error, was matching the messageEncoding attribute values in the following node of service and client config files. They were different in mine, service was Text and client Mtom. Changing service to Mtom to match client's, resolved the issue.

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
      <bindings>
           <basicHttpBinding>
              <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMySevice" ... messageEncoding="Mtom">

How do I remove files saying "old mode 100755 new mode 100644" from unstaged changes in Git?

This solution will change the git file permissions from 100755 to 100644 and push changes back to the bitbucket remote repo.

Take a look at your repo's file permissions: git ls-files --stage
If 100755 and you want 100644

Then run this command: git ls-files --stage | sed 's/\t/ /g' | cut -d' ' -f4 | xargs git update-index --chmod=-x

Now check your repo's file permissions again: git ls-files --stage
Now commit your changes:

git status

git commit -m "restored proper file permissions"

git push

Fastest way to check if a string matches a regexp in ruby?

Starting with Ruby 2.4.0, you may use RegExp#match?:

pattern.match?(string)

Regexp#match? is explicitly listed as a performance enhancement in the release notes for 2.4.0, as it avoids object allocations performed by other methods such as Regexp#match and =~:

Regexp#match?
Added Regexp#match?, which executes a regexp match without creating a back reference object and changing $~ to reduce object allocation.

Why does scanf() need "%lf" for doubles, when printf() is okay with just "%f"?

Because otherwise scanf will think you are passing a pointer to a float which is a smaller size than a double, and it will return an incorrect value.

Output array to CSV in Ruby

I've got this down to just one line.

rows = [['a1', 'a2', 'a3'],['b1', 'b2', 'b3', 'b4'], ['c1', 'c2', 'c3'], ... ]
csv_str = rows.inject([]) { |csv, row|  csv << CSV.generate_line(row) }.join("")
#=> "a1,a2,a3\nb1,b2,b3\nc1,c2,c3\n"

Do all of the above and save to a csv, in one line.

File.open("ss.csv", "w") {|f| f.write(rows.inject([]) { |csv, row|  csv << CSV.generate_line(row) }.join(""))}

NOTE:

To convert an active record database to csv would be something like this I think

CSV.open(fn, 'w') do |csv|
  csv << Model.column_names
  Model.where(query).each do |m|
    csv << m.attributes.values
  end
end

Hmm @tamouse, that gist is somewhat confusing to me without reading the csv source, but generically, assuming each hash in your array has the same number of k/v pairs & that the keys are always the same, in the same order (i.e. if your data is structured), this should do the deed:

rowid = 0
CSV.open(fn, 'w') do |csv|
  hsh_ary.each do |hsh|
    rowid += 1
    if rowid == 1
      csv << hsh.keys# adding header row (column labels)
    else
      csv << hsh.values
    end# of if/else inside hsh
  end# of hsh's (rows)
end# of csv open

If your data isn't structured this obviously won't work

Decreasing height of bootstrap 3.0 navbar

Simply override the min-height set in .navbar like so:

Altering an elements height to something smaller than the min-height won't make a difference...

Serialize an object to string

Code Safety Note

Regarding the accepted answer, it is important to use toSerialize.GetType() instead of typeof(T) in XmlSerializer constructor: if you use the first one the code covers all possible scenarios, while using the latter one fails sometimes.

Here is a link with some example code that motivate this statement, with XmlSerializer throwing an Exception when typeof(T) is used, because you pass an instance of a derived type to a method that calls SerializeObject<T>() that is defined in the derived type's base class: http://ideone.com/1Z5J1. Note that Ideone uses Mono to execute code: the actual Exception you would get using the Microsoft .NET runtime has a different Message than the one shown on Ideone, but it fails just the same.

For the sake of completeness I post the full code sample here for future reference, just in case Ideone (where I posted the code) becomes unavailable in the future:

using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Sub subInstance = new Sub();
        Console.WriteLine(subInstance.TestMethod());
    }

    public class Super
    {
        public string TestMethod() {
            return this.SerializeObject();
        }
    }

    public class Sub : Super
    {
    }
}

public static class TestExt {
    public static string SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(typeof(T).Name);             // PRINTS: "Super", the base/superclass -- Expected output is "Sub" instead
        Console.WriteLine(toSerialize.GetType().Name); // PRINTS: "Sub", the derived/subclass

        XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter();

        // And now...this will throw and Exception!
        // Changing new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)) to new XmlSerializer(subInstance.GetType()); 
        // solves the problem
        xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
        return textWriter.ToString();
    }
}

Bootstrap 3 - How to load content in modal body via AJAX?

Check this SO answer out.

It looks like the only way is to provide the whole modal structure with your ajax response.

As you can check from the bootstrap source code, the load function is binded to the root element.

In case you can't modify the ajax response, a simple workaround could be an explicit call of the $(..).modal(..) plugin on your body element, even though it will probably break the show/hide functions of the root element.

Intellisense and code suggestion not working in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate RC

I occasionally encountered the same problem as the OP.

Unfortunately, none of the above solutions works for me. -- I also searched from internet for other possible solutions, including Microsoft's VS/windows forum, and did not find an answer.

But when I closed the VS solution, there was a message asking me to download and install "Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0"; per this hint I finally fixed the problem.

I hope this finding is of any help to others who may get the same issue.

rbenv not changing ruby version

First step is to find out which ruby is being called:

$ which ruby

Your system says:

/usr/bin/ruby

This is NOT the shim used by rbenv, which (on MacOS) should look like:

/Users/<username>/.rbenv/shims/ruby

The shim is actually a script that acts like a redirect to the version of ruby you set.

I recommend that for trouble shooting you unset the project specific "local" version, and the shell specific "shell" version and just test using the "global" version setting which is determined in a plain text file in ~/.rbenv/version which will just be the version number "1.9.3" in your case.

$ rbenv global 1.9.3
$ rbenv local --unset
$ rbenv shell --unset

You can do ls -laG in the root of your project folder (not the home folder) to make sure there is no longer a ".ruby-version" file there.

You can use rbenv versions to identify which version rbenv is set to use (and the location and name of the file that is setting that):

$ rbenv versions

NONE OF THAT MATTERS until you set the path correctly.

Use this to make sure your *MacOS will obey you:

$ rbenv init -

Followed by:

$ which ruby

To make sure it looks like:

/Users/<username>/.rbenv/shims/ruby

Then run this to add the line to your profile so it runs each time you open a new terminal window:

$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

There are other ways to modify the path, feel free to substitute any of them instead of running the rbenv init.

NOTE: reinstall Rails with:

$ gem install rails

If you were trying to run Ruby on Rails, then you need to have this all working first, then install the rails gem again. A previous install of Rails will use a hard coded path to the wrong ruby and several other things will be in the wrong place, so just install the gem again.

P. S. If your MacOS won't obey you (*mentioned above) then you may have to find another way to modify your path, but that's unlikely to be a problem because "Macs just work" ;)

Task.Run with Parameter(s)?

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to share a solution I ended up having to use since the accepted post still has an issue.

The Issue:

As pointed out by Alexandre Severino, if param (in the function below) changes shortly after the function call, you might get some unexpected behavior in MethodWithParameter.

Task.Run(() => MethodWithParameter(param));

My Solution:

To account for this, I ended up writing something more like the following line of code:

(new Func<T, Task>(async (p) => await Task.Run(() => MethodWithParam(p)))).Invoke(param);

This allowed me to safely use the parameter asynchronously despite the fact that the parameter changed very quickly after starting the task (which caused issues with the posted solution).

Using this approach, param (value type) gets its value passed in, so even if the async method runs after param changes, p will have whatever value param had when this line of code ran.

How to simulate key presses or a click with JavaScript?

Simulating a mouse click

My guess is that the webpage is listening to mousedown rather than click (which is bad for accessibility because when a user uses the keyboard, only focus and click are fired, not mousedown). So you should simulate mousedown, click, and mouseup (which, by the way, is what the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad do on tap events).

To simulate the mouse events, you can use this snippet for browsers that support DOM 2 Events. For a more foolproof simulation, fill in the mouse position using initMouseEvent instead.

// DOM 2 Events
var dispatchMouseEvent = function(target, var_args) {
  var e = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
  // If you need clientX, clientY, etc., you can call
  // initMouseEvent instead of initEvent
  e.initEvent.apply(e, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1));
  target.dispatchEvent(e);
};
dispatchMouseEvent(element, 'mouseover', true, true);
dispatchMouseEvent(element, 'mousedown', true, true);
dispatchMouseEvent(element, 'click', true, true);
dispatchMouseEvent(element, 'mouseup', true, true);

When you fire a simulated click event, the browser will actually fire the default action (e.g. navigate to the link's href, or submit a form).

In IE, the equivalent snippet is this (unverified since I don't have IE). I don't think you can give the event handler mouse positions.

// IE 5.5+
element.fireEvent("onmouseover");
element.fireEvent("onmousedown");
element.fireEvent("onclick");  // or element.click()
element.fireEvent("onmouseup");

Simulating keydown and keypress

You can simulate keydown and keypress events, but unfortunately in Chrome they only fire the event handlers and don't perform any of the default actions. I think this is because the DOM 3 Events working draft describes this funky order of key events:

keydown (often has default action such as fire click, submit, or textInput events)
keypress (if the key isn't just a modifier key like Shift or Ctrl)
(keydown, keypress) with repeat=true if the user holds down the button
default actions of keydown!!
keyup

This means that you have to (while combing the HTML5 and DOM 3 Events drafts) simulate a large amount of what the browser would otherwise do. I hate it when I have to do that. For example, this is roughly how to simulate a key press on an input or textarea.

// DOM 3 Events
var dispatchKeyboardEvent = function(target, initKeyboradEvent_args) {
  var e = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvents");
  e.initKeyboardEvent.apply(e, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1));
  target.dispatchEvent(e);
};
var dispatchTextEvent = function(target, initTextEvent_args) {
  var e = document.createEvent("TextEvent");
  e.initTextEvent.apply(e, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1));
  target.dispatchEvent(e);
};
var dispatchSimpleEvent = function(target, type, canBubble, cancelable) {
  var e = document.createEvent("Event");
  e.initEvent.apply(e, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1));
  target.dispatchEvent(e);
};

var canceled = !dispatchKeyboardEvent(element,
    'keydown', true, true,  // type, bubbles, cancelable
    null,  // window
    'h',  // key
    0, // location: 0=standard, 1=left, 2=right, 3=numpad, 4=mobile, 5=joystick
    '');  // space-sparated Shift, Control, Alt, etc.
dispatchKeyboardEvent(
    element, 'keypress', true, true, null, 'h', 0, '');
if (!canceled) {
  if (dispatchTextEvent(element, 'textInput', true, true, null, 'h', 0)) {
    element.value += 'h';
    dispatchSimpleEvent(element, 'input', false, false);
    // not supported in Chrome yet
    // if (element.form) element.form.dispatchFormInput();
    dispatchSimpleEvent(element, 'change', false, false);
    // not supported in Chrome yet
    // if (element.form) element.form.dispatchFormChange();
  }
}
dispatchKeyboardEvent(
    element, 'keyup', true, true, null, 'h', 0, '');

I don't think it is possible to simulate key events in IE.

C# Syntax - Split String into Array by Comma, Convert To Generic List, and Reverse Order

What your missing here is that .Reverse() is a void method. It's not possible to assign the result of .Reverse() to a variable. You can however alter the order to use Enumerable.Reverse() and get your result

var x = "Tom,Scott,Bob".Split(',').Reverse().ToList<string>()

The difference is that Enumerable.Reverse() returns an IEnumerable<T> instead of being void return

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

Probably you showing Activity looking like Dialog(non-fullscreen), so remove screenOrientation from Manifest or from code. This will fix the issue.

must declare a named package eclipse because this compilation unit is associated to the named module

Reason of the error: Package name left blank while creating a class. This make use of default package. Thus causes this error.

Quick fix:

Create a package eg. helloWorld inside the src folder.
Move helloWorld.java file in that package. Just drag and drop on the package. Error should disappear.

Explanation:

My Eclipse version: 2020-09 (4.17.0)
My Java version: Java 15, 2020-09-15

Latest version of Eclipse required java11 or above. The module feature is introduced in java9 and onward. It was proposed in 2005 for Java7 but later suspended. Java is object oriented based. And module is the moduler approach which can be seen in language like C. It was harder to implement it, due to which it took long time for the release. Source: Understanding Java 9 Modules

When you create a new project in Eclipse then by default module feature is selected. And in Eclipse-2020-09-R, a pop-up appears which ask for creation of module-info.java file. If you select don't create then module-info.java will not create and your project will free from this issue.

Best practice is while crating project, after giving project name. Click on next button instead of finish. On next page at the bottom it ask for creation of module-info.java file. Select or deselect as per need.

If selected: (by default) click on finish button and give name for module. Now while creating a class don't forget to give package name. Whenever you create a class just give package name. Any name, just don't left it blank.

If deselect: No issue

JAVA - using FOR, WHILE and DO WHILE loops to sum 1 through 100

- First to me Iterating and Looping are 2 different things.

Eg: Increment a variable till 5 is Looping.

    int count = 0;

    for (int i=0 ; i<5 ; i++){

        count = count + 1;

   }

Eg: Iterate over the Array to print out its values, is about Iteration

    int[] arr = {5,10,15,20,25};

    for (int i=0 ; i<arr.length ; i++){

        System.out.println(arr[i]);

   }

Now about all the Loops:

- Its always better to use For-Loop when you know the exact nos of time you gonna Loop, and if you are not sure of it go for While-Loop. Yes out there many geniuses can say that it can be done gracefully with both of them and i don't deny with them...but these are few things which makes me execute my program flawlessly...

For Loop :

int sum = 0; 

for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {

  sum += i; 

}

 System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

The Difference between While and Do-While is as Follows :

- While is a Entry Control Loop, Condition is checked in the Beginning before entering the loop.

- Do-While is a Exit Control Loop, Atleast once the block is always executed then the Condition is checked.

While Loop :

int sum = 0; 
int i = 0;       // i is 0 Here

    while (i<100) {

      sum += i; 
      i++;

    }

  System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

do-While :

int sum = 0; 
int i = 0;      // i is 0 Here

    do{ 

      sum += i; 
       i++
    }while(i < 100; );

     System.out.println("The sum is " + sum);

From Java 5 we also have For-Each Loop to iterate over the Collections, even its handy with Arrays.

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

arr.add("Vivek");
arr.add("Is");
arr.add("Good");
arr.add("Boy");

for (String str : arr){         // str represents the value in each index of arr

    System.out.println(str);     

 }

How to debug heap corruption errors?

The best tool I found useful and worked every time is code review (with good code reviewers).

Other than code review, I'd first try Page Heap. Page Heap takes a few seconds to set up and with luck it might pinpoint your problem.

If no luck with Page Heap, download Debugging Tools for Windows from Microsoft and learn to use the WinDbg. Sorry couldn't give you more specific help, but debuging multi-threaded heap corruption is more an art than science. Google for "WinDbg heap corruption" and you should find many articles on the subject.

How to normalize a histogram in MATLAB?

My answer to this is the same as in an answer to your earlier question. For a probability density function, the integral over the entire space is 1. Dividing by the sum will not give you the correct density. To get the right density, you must divide by the area. To illustrate my point, try the following example.

[f, x] = hist(randn(10000, 1), 50); % Create histogram from a normal distribution.
g = 1 / sqrt(2 * pi) * exp(-0.5 * x .^ 2); % pdf of the normal distribution

% METHOD 1: DIVIDE BY SUM
figure(1)
bar(x, f / sum(f)); hold on
plot(x, g, 'r'); hold off

% METHOD 2: DIVIDE BY AREA
figure(2)
bar(x, f / trapz(x, f)); hold on
plot(x, g, 'r'); hold off

You can see for yourself which method agrees with the correct answer (red curve).

enter image description here

Another method (more straightforward than method 2) to normalize the histogram is to divide by sum(f * dx) which expresses the integral of the probability density function, i.e.

% METHOD 3: DIVIDE BY AREA USING sum()
figure(3)
dx = diff(x(1:2))
bar(x, f / sum(f * dx)); hold on
plot(x, g, 'r'); hold off

Check for false

If you want it to check explicit for it to not be false (boolean value) you have to use

if(borrar() !== false)

But in JavaScript we usually use falsy and truthy and you could use

if(!borrar())

but then values 0, '', null, undefined, null and NaN would not generate the alert.

The following values are always falsy:

false,
,0 (zero)
,'' or "" (empty string)
,null
,undefined
,NaN

Everything else is truthy. That includes:

'0' (a string containing a single zero)
,'false' (a string containing the text “false”)
,[] (an empty array)
,{} (an empty object)
,function(){} (an “empty” function)

Source: https://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-truthy-falsy/

As an extra perk to convert any value to true or false (boolean type), use double exclamation mark:

!![] === true
!!'false' === true
!!false === false
!!undefined === false

Converting Columns into rows with their respective data in sql server

As an alternative:

Using CROSS APPLY and VALUES performs this operation quite simply and efficiently with just a single pass of the table (unlike union queries that do one pass for every column)

SELECT
    ca.ColName, ca.ColValue
FROM YOurTable
CROSS APPLY (
      Values
         ('ScripName' , ScripName),
         ('ScripCode' , ScripCode),
         ('Price'     , cast(Price as varchar(50)) )
  ) as CA (ColName, ColValue)

Personally I find this syntax easier than using unpivot.

NB: You must take care that all source columns are converted into compatible types for the single value column

Is there a method for String conversion to Title Case?

It seems none of the answers format it in the actual title case: "How to Land Your Dream Job", "To Kill a Mockingbird", etc. so I've made my own method. Works best for English languages texts.

    TITLE_CASE_DELIMITERS.add('/');
    TITLE_CASE_DELIMITERS.add('-');
    TITLE_CASE_DELIMITERS.add('(');
    TITLE_CASE_DELIMITERS.add(')');
  }

  private final static Set<String> TITLE_SMALLCASED_WORDS = new HashSet<>();

  public static String toCapitalizedWord(String oneWord) {
    if (oneWord.length() < 1) {
      return oneWord.toUpperCase();
    }

Margin between items in recycler view Android

I made a class to manage this issue. This class set different margins for the items inside the recyclerView: only the first row will have a top margin and only the first column will have left margin.

public class RecyclerViewMargin extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
private final int columns;
private int margin;

/**
 * constructor
 * @param margin desirable margin size in px between the views in the recyclerView
 * @param columns number of columns of the RecyclerView
 */
public RecyclerViewMargin(@IntRange(from=0)int margin ,@IntRange(from=0) int columns ) {
    this.margin = margin;
    this.columns=columns;

}

/**
 * Set different margins for the items inside the recyclerView: no top margin for the first row
 * and no left margin for the first column.
 */
@Override
public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view,
                           RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {

    int position = parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view);
    //set right margin to all
    outRect.right = margin;
    //set bottom margin to all
    outRect.bottom = margin;
    //we only add top margin to the first row
    if (position <columns) {
        outRect.top = margin;
    }
    //add left margin only to the first column
    if(position%columns==0){
        outRect.left = margin;
        }
    }
}

you can set it in your recyclerview this way

 RecyclerViewMargin decoration = new RecyclerViewMargin(itemMargin, numColumns);
 recyclerView.addItemDecoration(decoration);

Sum rows in data.frame or matrix

I came here hoping to find a way to get the sum across all columns in a data table and run into issues implementing the above solutions. A way to add a column with the sum across all columns uses the cbind function:

cbind(data, total = rowSums(data))

This method adds a total column to the data and avoids the alignment issue yielded when trying to sum across ALL columns using the above solutions (see the post below for a discussion of this issue).

How do I launch a Git Bash window with particular working directory using a script?

I'm not familiar with Git Bash but assuming that it is a git shell (such as git-sh) residing in /path/to/my/gitshell and your favorite terminal program is called `myterm' you can script the following:

(cd dir1; myterm -e /path/to/my/gitshell) &
(cd dir2; myterm -e /path/to/my/gitshell) &
...

Note that the parameter -e for execution may be named differently with your favorite terminal program.

How to have a default option in Angular.js select box

I think the easiest way is

 ng-selected="$first"

JQuery Validate Dropdown list

As we know jQuery validate plugin invalidates Select field when it has blank value. Why don't we set its value to blank when required.

Yes, you can validate select field with some predefined value.

$("#everything").validate({
    rules: {
        select_field:{
            required: {
                depends: function(element){
                    if('none' == $('#select_field').val()){
                        //Set predefined value to blank.
                        $('#select_field').val('');
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

We can set blank value for select field but in some case we can't. For Ex: using a function that generates Dropdown field for you and you don't have control over it.

I hope it helps as it helps me.

Using Case/Switch and GetType to determine the object

If I really had to switch on type of object, I'd use .ToString(). However, I would avoid it at all costs: IDictionary<Type, int> will do much better, visitor might be an overkill but otherwise it is still a perfectly fine solution.

Exploring Docker container's file system

Only for LINUX

The most simple way that I use was using proc dir, which is the container is must be running in order to inspect the docker container files.

Find out the process id (PID) of the container and store into some variable

PID=$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' your-container-name-here)
Make sure the container process is running, and use the variable name to get into the container folder

cd /proc/$PID/root

If you want to get through the dir without finding out the PID number, just us this long command

cd /proc/$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' your-container-name-here)/root

Tips:

After you get inside of the container, everything you do will affect the actual process of the container, such as stopping the service or changing the port number.

Hope it helps

Note:

This method only works if the container is still running, otherwise the directory wouldn't exist anymore if the container has stopped or removed

show all tables in DB2 using the LIST command

To get a list of tables for the current database in DB2 -->

Connect to the database:

db2 connect to DATABASENAME user USER using PASSWORD

Run this query:

db2 LIST TABLES

This is the equivalent of SHOW TABLES in MySQL.

You may need to execute 'set schema myschema' to the correct schema before you run the list tables command. By default upon login your schema is the same as your username - which often won't contain any tables. You can use 'values current schema' to check what schema you're currently set to.

"Port 4200 is already in use" when running the ng serve command

Port 4200 is already in use.Use -port to specify a different port error Reasons An existing application(not angular) in your system using the port number 4200. This is a very rare scenario. In this case, you need to change the port number of angular application as mentioned below. You already ran ng serve and to exit the application you typed Control Z (Ctrl+Z), And then you typed ng serve then you will get port 4200 is already in use_ error. In this case, you need to kill the previous process.

To change the port number for our angular application use the below command

ng serve --port 4201

Now type ng serve

Our angular application will be running on http://localhost:4201

To fix port 4200 is already in use error in In Mac & Linux OS (Ubuntu etc) use the following commands

sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:4200) Or
sudo kill `sudo lsof -t -i:4200` Or
sudo lsof -t -i tcp:4200 | xargs kill -9

In Window operating system open command prompt. Use the following command to fix port 4200 is already in use error.

netstat -a -n -o | findStr "4200"`

Take the process id and kill the process using the following command

taskkill -f /pid 11128

How to create a DOM node as an object?

I'd put it in the DOM first. I'm not sure why my first example failed. That's really weird.

var e = $("<ul><li><div class='bar'>bla</div></li></ul>");
$('li', e).attr('id','a1234');  // set the attribute 
$('body').append(e); // put it into the DOM

Putting e (the returns elements) gives jQuery context under which to apply the CSS selector. This keeps it from applying the ID to other elements in the DOM tree.

The issue appears to be that you aren't using the UL. If you put a naked li in the DOM tree, you're going to have issues. I thought it could handle/workaround this, but it can't.

You may not be putting naked LI's in your DOM tree for your "real" implementation, but the UL's are necessary for this to work. Sigh.

Variables declared outside function

The local names for a function are decided when the function is defined:

>>> x = 1
>>> def inc():
...     x += 5
...     
>>> inc.__code__.co_varnames
('x',)

In this case, x exists in the local namespace. Execution of x += 5 requires a pre-existing value for x (for integers, it's like x = x + 5), and this fails at function call time because the local name is unbound - which is precisely why the exception UnboundLocalError is named as such.

Compare the other version, where x is not a local variable, so it can be resolved at the global scope instead:

>>> def incg():
...    print(x)
...    
>>> incg.__code__.co_varnames
()

Extract a substring from a string in Ruby using a regular expression

Here's a slightly more flexible approach using the match method. With this, you can extract more than one string:

s = "<ants> <pants>"
matchdata = s.match(/<([^>]*)> <([^>]*)>/)

# Use 'captures' to get an array of the captures
matchdata.captures   # ["ants","pants"]

# Or use raw indices
matchdata[0]   # whole regex match: "<ants> <pants>"
matchdata[1]   # first capture: "ants"
matchdata[2]   # second capture: "pants"

How many socket connections possible?

I achieved 1600k concurrent idle socket connections, and at the same time 57k req/s on a Linux desktop (16G RAM, I7 2600 CPU). It's a single thread http server written in C with epoll. Source code is on github, a blog here.

Edit:

I did 600k concurrent HTTP connections (client & server) on both the same computer, with JAVA/Clojure . detail info post, HN discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5127251

The cost of a connection(with epoll):

application need some RAM per connection
TCP buffer 2 * 4k ~ 10k, or more
epoll need some memory for a file descriptor, from epoll(7)

Each registered file descriptor costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32-bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes on a 64-bit kernel.

Is Fortran easier to optimize than C for heavy calculations?

Quick and simple: Both are equally fast, but Fortran is simpler. Whats really faster in the end depends on the algorithm, but there is considerable no speed difference anyway. This is what I learned in a Fortran workshop at high performance computing center Stuttgard, Germany in 2015. I work both with Fortran and C and share this opinion.

Explanation:

C was designed to write operating systems. Hence it has more freedom than needed to write high performance code. In general this is no problem, but if one does not programm carefully, one can easily slow the code down.

Fortran was designed for scientific programming. For this reason, it supports writing fast code syntax-wise, as this is the main purpose of Fortran. In contrast to the public opinion, Fortran is not an outdated programming language. Its latest standard is 2010 and new compilers are published on a regular basis, as most high performance code is writen in Fortran. Fortran further supports modern features as compiler directives (in C pragmas).

Example: We want to give a large struct as an input argument to a function (fortran: subroutine). Within the function the argument is not altered.

C supports both, call by reference and call by value, which is a handy feature. In our case, the programmer might by accident use call by value. This slows down things considerably, as the struct needs to be copied in within memory first.

Fortran works with call by reference only, which forces the programmer to copy the struct by hand, if he really wants a call by value operation. In our case fortran will be automatically as fast as the C version with call by reference.

How do I make a branch point at a specific commit?

If you are currently not on branch master, that's super easy:

git branch -f master 1258f0d0aae

This does exactly what you want: It points master at the given commit, and does nothing else.

If you are currently on master, you need to get into detached head state first. I'd recommend the following two command sequence:

git checkout 1258f0d0aae    #detach from master
git branch -f master HEAD   #exactly as above

#optionally reattach to master
git checkout master

Be aware, though, that any explicit manipulation of where a branch points has the potential to leave behind commits that are no longer reachable by any branches, and thus become object to garbage collection. So, think before you type git branch -f!

This method is better than the git reset --hard approach, as it does not destroy anything in the index or working directory.

How to block until an event is fired in c#

If the current method is async then you can use TaskCompletionSource. Create a field that the event handler and the current method can access.

    TaskCompletionSource<bool> tcs = null;

    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<bool>();
        await tcs.Task;
        WelcomeTitle.Text = "Finished work";
    }

    private void Button_Click2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        tcs?.TrySetResult(true);
    }

This example uses a form that has a textblock named WelcomeTitle and two buttons. When the first button is clicked it starts the click event but stops at the await line. When the second button is clicked the task is completed and the WelcomeTitle text is updated. If you want to timeout as well then change

await tcs.Task;

await Task.WhenAny(tcs.Task, Task.Delay(25000));
if (tcs.Task.IsCompleted)
    WelcomeTitle.Text = "Task Completed";
else
    WelcomeTitle.Text = "Task Timed Out";

Computing cross-correlation function?

For 1D array, numpy.correlate is faster than scipy.signal.correlate, under different sizes, I see a consistent 5x peformance gain using numpy.correlate. When two arrays are of similar size (the bright line connecting the diagonal), the performance difference is even more outstanding (50x +).

# a simple benchmark
res = []
for x in range(1, 1000):
    list_x = []
    for y in range(1, 1000): 

        # generate different sizes of series to compare
        l1 = np.random.choice(range(1, 100), size=x)
        l2 = np.random.choice(range(1, 100), size=y)

        time_start = datetime.now()
        np.correlate(a=l1, v=l2)
        t_np = datetime.now() - time_start

        time_start = datetime.now()
        scipy.signal.correlate(in1=l1, in2=l2)
        t_scipy = datetime.now() - time_start

        list_x.append(t_scipy / t_np)
    res.append(list_x)
plt.imshow(np.matrix(res))

As default, scipy.signal.correlate calculates a few extra numbers by padding and that might explained the performance difference.

>> l1 = [1,2,3,2,1,2,3]
>> l2 = [1,2,3]
>> print(numpy.correlate(a=l1, v=l2))
>> print(scipy.signal.correlate(in1=l1, in2=l2))

[14 14 10 10 14]
[ 3  8 14 14 10 10 14  8  3]  # the first 3 is [0,0,1]dot[1,2,3]

CURL to pass SSL certifcate and password

I went through this when trying to get a clientcert and private key out of a keystore.

The link above posted by welsh was great, but there was an extra step on my redhat distribution. If curl is built with NSS ( run curl --version to see if you see NSS listed) then you need to import the keys into an NSS keystore. I went through a bunch of convoluted steps, so this may not be the cleanest way, but it got things working

So export the keys into .p12

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore $jksfile -destkeystore $p12file \
        -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12 \
        -srcstorepass $jkspassword -deststorepass $p12password  
        -srcalias $myalias -destalias $myalias \
        -srckeypass $keypass -destkeypass $keypass -noprompt

And generate the pem file that holds only the key

 echo making ${fileroot}.key.pem
 openssl pkcs12 -in $p12 -out ${fileroot}.key.pem  \
         -passin pass:$p12password  \
         -passout pass:$p12password  -nocerts

Make an empty keystore:

mkdir ~/nss
chmod 700 ~/nss
certutil -N -d ~/nss

Import the keys into the keystore

pks12util -i <mykeys>.p12 -d ~/nss -W <password for cert >

Now curl should work.

curl --insecure --cert <client cert alias>:<password for cert> \
     --key ${fileroot}.key.pem  <URL>

As I mentioned, there may be other ways to do this, but at least this was repeatable for me. If curl is compiled with NSS support, I was not able to get it to pull the client cert from a file.

Change fill color on vector asset in Android Studio

To change vector image color you can directly use android:tint="@color/colorAccent"

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ivVectorImage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_account_circle_black_24dp"
        android:tint="@color/colorAccent" />

To change color programatically

ImageView ivVectorImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivVectorImage);
ivVectorImage.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));

error "Could not get BatchedBridge, make sure your bundle is packaged properly" on start of app

It had this issue "randomly" and took me sometime to realize what was wrong in my scenario.

After I have updated to React-native-cli 2.0.1, there was a message output to the log which helped me to dig and find the root cause:

JS server not recognized, continuing with build...

After researching some links I found this one:

Unable to recognize JS server

Since I´m on windows, I ran netstat and found out that my VLC player was also running on port 8081 causing the issue. So, in my case, if I started the vlc server prior to the react-native server it wouldn´t work.

This same log message wasn´t output on previous versions of the react-native-cli, making it fail silently.

TL, DR: check if there´s anything running on the same port as the package manager (8081 by default)

How to get all registered routes in Express?

    res.send('foo');
});

//////////////
var router = express.Router();

router.get("/bar", function(req,res,next){
    res.send('bar');
});

app.use("/",router);


//////////////
var route, routes = [];

app._router.stack.forEach(function(middleware){
    if(middleware.route){ // routes registered directly on the app
        routes.push(middleware.route);
    } else if(middleware.name === 'router'){ // router middleware 
        middleware.handle.stack.forEach(function(handler){
            route = handler.route;
            route && routes.push(route);
        });
    }
});

// routes:
// {path: "/foo", methods: {get: true}}
// {path: "/bar", methods: {get: true}}

No, it is not okay to put a link element in the body tag. See the specification (links to the HTML4.01 specs, but I believe it is true for all versions of HTML):

iPhone hide Navigation Bar only on first page

If what you want is to hide the navigation bar completely in the controller, a much cleaner solution is to, in the root controller, have something like:

@implementation MainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden=YES;
    //...extra code on view load  
}

When you push a child view in the controller, the Navigation Bar will remain hidden; if you want to display it just in the child, you'll add the code for displaying it(self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden=NO;) in the viewWillAppear callback, and similarly the code for hiding it on viewWillDisappear

Don't change link color when a link is clicked

I think this suits perfect for any color you have:

a {
    color: inherit;
}

Calling Objective-C method from C++ member function?

Sometimes renaming .cpp to .mm is not good idea, especially when project is crossplatform. In this case for xcode project I open xcode project file throught TextEdit, found string which contents interest file, it should be like:

/* OnlineManager.cpp */ = {isa = PBXFileReference; fileEncoding = 4; lastKnownFileType = sourcecode.cpp.cpp; path = OnlineManager.cpp; sourceTree = "<group>"; };

and then change file type from sourcecode.cpp.cpp to sourcecode.cpp.objcpp

/* OnlineManager.cpp */ = {isa = PBXFileReference; fileEncoding = 4; lastKnownFileType = **sourcecode.cpp.objcpp**; path = OnlineManager.cpp; sourceTree = "<group>"; };

It is equivalent to rename .cpp to .mm

How to install PyQt4 in anaconda?

Updated version of @Alaaedeen's answer. You can specify any part of the version of any package you want to install. This may cause other package versions to change. For example, if you don't care about which specific version of PyQt4 you want, do:

conda install pyqt=4

This would install the latest minor version and release of PyQt 4. You can specify any portion of the version that you want, not just the major number. So, for example

conda install pyqt=4.11

would install the latest (or last) release of version 4.11.

Keep in mind that installing a different version of a package may cause the other packages that depend on it to be rolled forward or back to where they support the version you want.

Associating enums with strings in C#

I didn't need anything robust like storing the string in attributes. I just needed to turn something like MyEnum.BillEveryWeek into "bill every week" or MyEnum.UseLegacySystem into "use legacy system"--basically split the enum by its camel-casing into individiual lower-case words.

public static string UnCamelCase(this Enum input, string delimiter = " ", bool preserveCasing = false)
{
    var characters = input.ToString().Select((x, i) =>
    {

       if (i > 0 && char.IsUpper(x))
       {
           return delimiter + x.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       }
       return x.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

    });

    var result = preserveCasing
       ? string.Concat(characters)
       : string.Concat(characters).ToLower();

    var lastComma = result.LastIndexOf(", ", StringComparison.Ordinal);

    if (lastComma > -1)
    {
       result = result.Remove(lastComma, 2).Insert(lastComma, " and ");
    }

    return result;
}

MyEnum.UseLegacySystem.UnCamelCase() outputs "use legacy system"

If you have multiple flags set, it will turn that into plain english (comma-delimited except an "and" in place of the last comma).

var myCustomerBehaviour = MyEnum.BillEveryWeek | MyEnum.UseLegacySystem | MyEnum.ChargeTaxes;

Console.WriteLine(myCustomerBehaviour.UnCamelCase());
//outputs "bill every week, use legacy system and charge taxes"

How to change identity column values programmatically?

Very nice question, first we need to on the IDENTITY_INSERT for the specific table, after that run the insert query (Must specify the column name).

Note: After edit the the identity column, don't forget to off the IDENTITY_INSERT. If you not done, you cannot able to Edit the identity column for any other table.

SET IDENTITY_INSERT Emp_tb_gb_Menu ON
     INSERT Emp_tb_gb_Menu(MenuID) VALUES (68)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Emp_tb_gb_Menu OFF

Run php script as daemon process

I was looking for a simple solution without having to install additional stuff and compatible with common hostings that allow SSH access.

I've ended up with this setup for my chat server:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 crazypoems psacln   309 ene 30 14:01 checkChatServerRunning.sh
-rw-r--r--  1 crazypoems psacln  3018 ene 30 13:12 class.chathandler.php
-rw-r--r--  1 crazypoems psacln    29 ene 30 14:05 cron.log
-rw-r--r--  1 crazypoems psacln  2560 ene 29 08:04 index.php
-rw-r--r--  1 crazypoems psacln  2672 ene 30 13:29 php-socket.php
-rwxr-xr-x  1 crazypoems psacln   310 ene 30 14:04 restartChatServer.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 crazypoems psacln   122 ene 30 13:28 startChatServer.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 crazypoems psacln   224 ene 30 13:56 stopChatServer.sh

And the scripts:

startChatServer.sh

#!/bin/bash
nohup /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php -q /var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/php-socket.php > /dev/null &

stopChatServer.sh

#!/bin/bash
PID=`ps -eaf | grep '/var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/php-socket.php' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [[ "" !=  "$PID" ]]; then
  echo "killing $PID"
  kill -9 $PID
else
  echo "not running"
fi

restartChatServer.sh

#!/bin/bash
PID=`ps -eaf | grep '/var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/php-socket.php' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [[ "" !=  "$PID" ]]; then
  echo "killing $PID"
  kill -9 $PID
else
  echo "not running"
fi
echo "Starting again"
/var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/startChatServer.sh

And last but not least, I have put this last script on a cron job, to check if the "chat server is running", and if not, to start it:

Cron job every minute

-bash-4.1$ crontab -l
*       *       *       *       * /var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/checkChatServerRunning.sh > /var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/cron.log

checkChatServerRunning.sh

#!/bin/bash
PID=`ps -eaf | grep '/var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/php-socket.php' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [[ "" !=  "$PID" ]]; then
  echo "Chat server running on $PID"
else
  echo "Not running, going to start it"
  /var/www/vhosts/crazypoems.org/httpdocs/chat/startChatServer.sh
fi

So with this setup:

I manually can control the service with the scripts when needed (eg: maintenance)
The cron job will start the server on reboot, or on crash

How to use EditText onTextChanged event when I press the number?

You can also try this:

EditText searchTo = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.medittext);
searchTo.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        doSomething();
    } 
});

Map and filter an array at the same time

I optimized the answers with the following points:

Rewriting if (cond) { stmt; } as cond && stmt;
Use ES6 Arrow Functions

I'll present two solutions, one using forEach, the other using reduce:

Solution 1: Using forEach

_x000D_

var options = [_x000D_
  { name: 'One', assigned: true }, _x000D_
  { name: 'Two', assigned: false }, _x000D_
  { name: 'Three', assigned: true }, _x000D_
];_x000D_
var reduced = []_x000D_
options.forEach(o => {_x000D_
  o.assigned && reduced.push( { name: o.name, newProperty: 'Foo' } );_x000D_
} );_x000D_
console.log(reduced);

_x000D_

Solution 2: Using reduce

_x000D_

var options = [_x000D_
  { name: 'One', assigned: true }, _x000D_
  { name: 'Two', assigned: false }, _x000D_
  { name: 'Three', assigned: true }, _x000D_
];_x000D_
var reduced = options.reduce((a, o) => {_x000D_
  o.assigned && a.push( { name: o.name, newProperty: 'Foo' } );_x000D_
  return a;_x000D_
}, [ ] );_x000D_
console.log(reduced);

_x000D_

I leave it up to you to decide which solution to go for.

What are the options for (keyup) in Angular2?

This file give you some more hints, for example, keydown.up doesn't work you need keydown.arrowup:

Any way to make a WPF textblock selectable?

According to Windows Dev Center:

TextBlock.IsTextSelectionEnabled property

[ Updated for UWP apps on Windows 10. For Windows 8.x articles, see the archive ]

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether text selection is enabled in the TextBlock, either through user action or calling selection-related API.

Can I call a function of a shell script from another shell script?

Refactor your second.sh script like this:

function func1 {
   fun=$1
   book=$2
   printf "fun=%s,book=%s\n" "${fun}" "${book}"
}

function func2 {
   fun2=$1
   book2=$2
   printf "fun2=%s,book2=%s\n" "${fun2}" "${book2}"
}

And then call these functions from script first.sh like this:

source ./second.sh
func1 love horror
func2 ball mystery

OUTPUT:

fun=love,book=horror
fun2=ball,book2=mystery

How can I iterate over an enum?

If your enum starts with 0 and the increment is always 1.

enum enumType 
{ 
    A = 0,
    B,
    C,
    enumTypeEnd
};

for(int i=0; i<enumTypeEnd; i++)
{
   enumType eCurrent = (enumType) i;            
}

If not I guess the only why is to create something like a

vector<enumType> vEnums;

add the items, and use normal iterators....

SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

In the shell, you can't execute more than one statement at a time:

>>> x = 5
y = 6
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

You need to execute them one by one:

>>> x = 5
>>> y = 6
>>>

When you see multiple statements are being declared, that means you're seeing a script, which will be executed later. But in the interactive interpreter, you can't do more than one statement at a time.

Error With Port 8080 already in use

The solution to this issue is:

Step 1: Stop Tomcat(By service or by .bat/.sh what ever the case may be ).

Step 2: Delete the already configured Apache Tomcat on eclipse.

Step 3: Now reconfigure the apache on the eclipse and start the server using UI as provided by eclipse.

I have the same issue and it has worked.

Function to close the window in Tkinter

def quit(self):
    self.root.destroy()

Add parentheses after destroy to call the method.

When you use command=self.root.destroy you pass the method to Tkinter.Button without the parentheses because you want Tkinter.Button to store the method for future calling, not to call it immediately when the button is created.

But when you define the quit method, you need to call self.root.destroy() in the body of the method because by then the method has been called.

DateTimePicker: pick both date and time

Go to the Properties of your dateTimePickerin Visual Studio and set Format to Custom. Under CustomFormat enter your format. In my case I used MMMMdd, yyyy | hh:mm

Center text output from Graphics.DrawString()

Here's some code. This assumes you are doing this on a form, or a UserControl.

Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
SizeF size = g.MeasureString("string to measure");

int nLeft = Convert.ToInt32((this.ClientRectangle.Width / 2) - (size.Width / 2));
int nTop = Convert.ToInt32((this.ClientRectangle.Height / 2) - (size.Height / 2));

From your post, it sounds like the ClientRectangle part (as in, you're not using it) is what's giving you difficulty.

What is the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1?

UTF

UTF is a family of multi-byte encoding schemes that can represent Unicode code points which can be representative of up to 2^31 [roughly 2 billion] characters. UTF-8 is a flexible encoding system that uses between 1 and 4 bytes to represent the first 2^21 [roughly 2 million] code points.

Long story short: any character with a code point/ordinal representation below 127, aka 7-bit-safe ASCII is represented by the same 1-byte sequence as most other single-byte encodings. Any character with a code point above 127 is represented by a sequence of two or more bytes, with the particulars of the encoding best explained here.

ISO-8859

ISO-8859 is a family of single-byte encoding schemes used to represent alphabets that can be represented within the range of 127 to 255. These various alphabets are defined as "parts" in the format ISO-8859-n, the most familiar of these likely being ISO-8859-1 aka 'Latin-1'. As with UTF-8, 7-bit-safe ASCII remains unaffected regardless of the encoding family used.

The drawback to this encoding scheme is its inability to accommodate languages comprised of more than 128 symbols, or to safely display more than one family of symbols at one time. As well, ISO-8859 encodings have fallen out of favor with the rise of UTF. The ISO "Working Group" in charge of it having disbanded in 2004, leaving maintenance up to its parent subcommittee.

How to make VS Code to treat other file extensions as certain language?

This, for example, will make files ending in .variables and .overrides being treated just like any other LESS file. In terms of code coloring, in terms of (auto) formatting. Define in user settings or project settings, as you like.

(Semantic UI uses these weird extensions, in case you wonder)

Why do I get PLS-00302: component must be declared when it exists?

You can get that error if you have an object with the same name as the schema. For example:

create sequence s2;

begin
  s2.a;
end;
/

ORA-06550: line 2, column 6:
PLS-00302: component 'A' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 3:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

When you refer to S2.MY_FUNC2 the object name is being resolved so it doesn't try to evaluate S2 as a schema name. When you just call it as MY_FUNC2 there is no confusion, so it works.

The documentation explains name resolution. The first piece of the qualified object name - S2 here - is evaluated as an object on the current schema before it is evaluated as a different schema.

It might not be a sequence; other objects can cause the same error. You can check for the existence of objects with the same name by querying the data dictionary.

select owner, object_type, object_name
from all_objects
where object_name = 'S2';

Detecting an undefined object property

function isUnset(inp) {
  return (typeof inp === 'undefined')
}

Returns false if variable is set, and true if is undefined.

Then use:

if (isUnset(var)) {
  // initialize variable here
}

How to make type="number" to positive numbers only

Try this:

Tested in Angular 8

Using android.support.v7.widget.CardView in my project (Eclipse)

You need to add this in your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:+'
}

And then Sync Project with Gradle Files. Finally, you can use CardView as it's described here.

Are there any SHA-256 javascript implementations that are generally considered trustworthy?

OUTDATED: Many modern browsers now have first-class support for crypto operations. See Vitaly Zdanevich's answer below.

The Stanford JS Crypto Library contains an implementation of SHA-256. While crypto in JS isn't really as well-vetted an endeavor as other implementation platforms, this one is at least partially developed by, and to a certain extent sponsored by, Dan Boneh, who is a well-established and trusted name in cryptography, and means that the project has some oversight by someone who actually knows what he's doing. The project is also supported by the NSF.

It's worth pointing out, however...
... that if you hash the password client-side before submitting it, then the hash is the password, and the original password becomes irrelevant. An attacker needs only to intercept the hash in order to impersonate the user, and if that hash is stored unmodified on the server, then the server is storing the true password (the hash) in plain-text.

So your security is now worse because you decided add your own improvements to what was previously a trusted scheme.

Best HTTP Authorization header type for JWT

The best HTTP header for your client to send an access token (JWT or any other token) is the Authorization header with the Bearer authentication scheme.

This scheme is described by the RFC6750.

Example:

GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIXVCJ9TJV...r7E20RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ

If you need stronger security protection, you may also consider the following IETF draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-pop-architecture. This draft seems to be a good alternative to the (abandoned?) https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac.

Note that even if this RFC and the above specifications are related to the OAuth2 Framework protocol, they can be used in any other contexts that require a token exchange between a client and a server.

Unlike the custom JWT scheme you mention in your question, the Bearer one is registered at the IANA.

Concerning the Basic and Digest authentication schemes, they are dedicated to authentication using a username and a secret (see RFC7616 and RFC7617) so not applicable in that context.

Meaning of "n:m" and "1:n" in database design

Imagine you have have a Book model and a Page model,

1:N means:
One book can have **many** pages. One page can only be in **one** book.


N:N means:
One book can have **many** pages. And one page can be in **many** books.

Padding a table row

In CSS 1 and CSS 2 specifications, padding was available for all elements including <tr>. Yet support of padding for table-row (<tr>) has been removed in CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 specifications. I have never found the reason behind this annoying change which also affect margin property and a few other table elements (header, footer, and columns).

Update: in Feb 2015, this thread on the [email protected] mailing list discussed about adding support of padding and border for table-row. This would apply the standard box model also to table-row and table-column elements. It would permit such examples. The thread seems to suggest that table-row padding support never existed in CSS standards because it would have complicated layout engines. In the 30 September 2014 Editor's Draft of CSS basic box model, padding and border properties exist for all elements including table-row and table-column elements. If it eventually becomes a W3C recommendation, your html+css example may work as intended in browsers at last.

QString to char* conversion

If your string contains non-ASCII characters - it's better to do it this way: s.toUtf8().data() (or s->toUtf8().data())

What does this square bracket and parenthesis bracket notation mean [first1,last1)?

The concept of interval notation comes up in both Mathematics and Computer Science. The Mathematical notation [, ], (, ) denotes the domain (or range) of an interval.

The brackets [ and ] means:
1. The number is included,
2. This side of the interval is closed,
The parenthesis ( and ) means:
1. The number is excluded,
2. This side of the interval is open.

An interval with mixed states is called "half-open".

For example, the range of consecutive integers from 1 .. 10 (inclusive) would be notated as such:

[1,10]

Notice how the word inclusive was used. If we want to exclude the end point but "cover" the same range we need to move the end-point:

[1,11)

For both left and right edges of the interval there are actually 4 permutations:

(1,10) =   2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9       Set has  8 elements
(1,10] =   2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10    Set has  9 elements
[1,10) = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9       Set has  9 elements
[1,10] = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10    Set has 10 elements

How does this relate to Mathematics and Computer Science?

Array indexes tend to use a different offset depending on which field are you in:

Mathematics tends to be one-based.
Certain programming languages tends to be zero-based, such as C, C++, Javascript, Python, while other languages such as Mathematica, Fortran, Pascal are one-based.

These differences can lead to subtle fence post errors, aka, off-by-one bugs when implementing Mathematical algorithms such as for-loops.

Integers

If we have a set or array, say of the first few primes [ 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 ], Mathematicians would refer to the first element as the 1st absolute element. i.e. Using subscript notation to denote the index:

a₁ = 2
a₂ = 3
:
a₁₀ = 29

Some programming languages, in contradistinction, would refer to the first element as the zero'th relative element.

a[0] = 2
a[1] = 3
:
a[9] = 29

Since the array indexes are in the range [0,N-1] then for clarity purposes it would be "nice" to keep the same numerical value for the range 0 .. N instead of adding textual noise such as a -1 bias.

For example, in C or JavaScript, to iterate over an array of N elements a programmer would write the common idiom of i = 0, i < N with the interval [0,N) instead of the slightly more verbose [0,N-1]:

_x000D_

function main() {_x000D_
    var output = "";_x000D_
    var a = [ 2, 3, 5, 7,  11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 ];_x000D_
    for( var i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) // [0,10)_x000D_
       output += "[" + i + "]: " + a[i] + "\n";_x000D_
_x000D_
    if (typeof window === 'undefined') // Node command line_x000D_
        console.log( output )_x000D_
    else_x000D_
        document.getElementById('output1').innerHTML = output;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

 <html>_x000D_
     <body onload="main();">_x000D_
         <pre id="output1"></pre>_x000D_
     </body>_x000D_
 </html>

_x000D_

Mathematicians, since they start counting at 1, would instead use the i = 1, i <= N nomenclature but now we need to correct the array offset in a zero-based language.

e.g.

_x000D_

function main() {_x000D_
    var output = "";_x000D_
    var a = [ 2, 3, 5, 7,  11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 ];_x000D_
    for( var i = 1; i <= 10; i++ ) // [1,10]_x000D_
       output += "[" + i + "]: " + a[i-1] + "\n";_x000D_
_x000D_
    if (typeof window === 'undefined') // Node command line_x000D_
        console.log( output )_x000D_
    else_x000D_
        document.getElementById( "output2" ).innerHTML = output;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<html>_x000D_
    <body onload="main()";>_x000D_
        <pre id="output2"></pre>_x000D_
    </body>_x000D_
</html>

_x000D_

Aside:

In programming languages that are 0-based you might need a kludge of a dummy zero'th element to use a Mathematical 1-based algorithm. e.g. Python Index Start

Floating-Point

Interval notation is also important for floating-point numbers to avoid subtle bugs.

When dealing with floating-point numbers especially in Computer Graphics (color conversion, computational geometry, animation easing/blending, etc.) often times normalized numbers are used. That is, numbers between 0.0 and 1.0.

It is important to know the edge cases if the endpoints are inclusive or exclusive:

(0,1) = 1e-M .. 0.999...
(0,1] = 1e-M .. 1.0
[0,1) = 0.0 .. 0.999...
[0,1] = 0.0 .. 1.0

Where M is some machine epsilon. This is why you might sometimes see const float EPSILON = 1e-# idiom in C code (such as 1e-6) for a 32-bit floating point number. This SO question Does EPSILON guarantee anything? has some preliminary details. For a more comprehensive answer see FLT_EPSILON and David Goldberg's What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic

Some implementations of a random number generator, random() may produce values in the range 0.0 .. 0.999... instead of the more convenient 0.0 .. 1.0. Proper comments in the code will document this as [0.0,1.0) or [0.0,1.0] so there is no ambiguity as to the usage.

Example:

You want to generate random() colors. You convert three floating-point values to unsigned 8-bit values to generate a 24-bit pixel with red, green, and blue channels respectively. Depending on the interval output by random() you may end up with near-white (254,254,254) or white (255,255,255).

     +--------+-----+
     |random()|Byte |
     |--------|-----|
     |0.999...| 254 | <-- error introduced
     |1.0     | 255 |
     +--------+-----+

For more details about floating-point precision and robustness with intervals see Christer Ericson's Real-Time Collision Detection, Chapter 11 Numerical Robustness, Section 11.3 Robust Floating-Point Usage.

Determining if Swift dictionary contains key and obtaining any of its values

You don't need any special code to do this, because it is what a dictionary already does. When you fetch dict[key] you know whether the dictionary contains the key, because the Optional that you get back is not nil (and it contains the value).

So, if you just want to answer the question whether the dictionary contains the key, ask:

let keyExists = dict[key] != nil

If you want the value and you know the dictionary contains the key, say:

let val = dict[key]!

But if, as usually happens, you don't know it contains the key - you want to fetch it and use it, but only if it exists - then use something like if let:

if let val = dict[key] {
    // now val is not nil and the Optional has been unwrapped, so use it
}

Visual Studio C# IntelliSense not automatically displaying

Sometimes i've found Intellisense to be slow. Hit the . and wait for a minute and see if it appears after a delay. If so, then I believe there may be a cache that can be deleted to get it to rescan.

word-wrap break-word does not work in this example

to get the smart break (break-word) work well on different browsers, what worked for me was the following set of rules:

#elm {
    word-break:break-word; /* webkit/blink browsers */
    word-wrap:break-word; /* ie */
}
-moz-document url-prefix() {/* catch ff */
    #elm {
        word-break: break-all; /* in ff-  with no break-word we'll settle for break-all */
    }
}

How to add text to JFrame?

The easiest way to add a text to a JFrame:

JFrame window = new JFrame("JFrame with text"); 
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
window.add(new JLabel("Hello World"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
window.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

Best way to pretty print a hash

If you don't have any fancy gem action, but do have JSON, this CLI line will work on a hash:

puts JSON.pretty_generate(my_hash).gsub(":", " =>")

#=>
{
  :key1 => "value1",

  :key2 => "value2",

  :key3 => "value3"
}

Class constants in python

You can get to SIZES by means of self.SIZES (in an instance method) or cls.SIZES (in a class method).

In any case, you will have to be explicit about where to find SIZES. An alternative is to put SIZES in the module containing the classes, but then you need to define all classes in a single module.

Parsing JSON objects for HTML table

another nice recursive way to generate HTML from a nested JSON object (currently not supporting arrays):

// generate HTML code for an object
var make_table = function(json, css_class='tbl_calss', tabs=1){
    // helper to tabulate the HTML tags. will return '\t\t\t' for num_of_tabs=3
    var tab = function(num_of_tabs){
        var s = '';
        for (var i=0; i<num_of_tabs; i++){
            s += '\t';
        }
        //console.log('tabbing done. tabs=' + tabs)
        return s;
    }
    // recursive function that returns a fixed block of <td>......</td>.
    var generate_td = function(json){ 
        if (!(typeof(json) == 'object')){
            // for primitive data - direct wrap in <td>...</td>
            return tab(tabs) + '<td>'+json+'</td>\n';
        }else{
            // recursive call for objects to open a new sub-table inside the <td>...</td>
            // (object[key] may be also an object)
            var s = tab(++tabs)+'<td>\n';
            s +=        tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
            for (var k in json){
                s +=        tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
                s +=          tab(++tabs)+'<td>' + k + '</td>\n';
                s +=                      generate_td(json[k]);
                s +=        tab(--tabs)+'</tr>' + tab(--tabs) + '\n';


            }
            // close the <td>...</td> external block
            s +=        tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
            s +=    tab(tabs--)+'</td>\n';
            return s;
        }
    }
    // construct the complete HTML code
    var html_code = '' ;
    html_code += tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
    html_code +=   tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
    html_code +=     generate_td(json);
    html_code +=   tab(tabs--)+'</tr>\n';
    html_code += tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
    return html_code;
}

How can I use console logging in Internet Explorer?

I've been always doing something like this:

var log = (function () {
  try {
    return console.log;
  }
  catch (e) {
    return function () {};
  }
}());

and from that point just always use log(...), don't be too fancy using console.[warn|error|and so on], just keep it simple. I usually prefer simple solution then fancy external libraries, it usually pays off.

simple way to avoid problems with IE (with non existing console.log)

What is tempuri.org?

Webservices require unique namespaces so they don't confuse each others schemas and whatever with each other. A URL (domain, subdomain, subsubdomain, etc) is a clever identifier as it's "guaranteed" to be unique, and in most circumstances you've already got one.

Code snippet or shortcut to create a constructor in Visual Studio

Should you be interested in creating the 'ctor' or a similar class-name-injecting snippet from scratch, create a .snippet file in the C# snippets directory (for example C:\VS2017\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#\C#Snippets.snippet) with this XML content:

<CodeSnippets>
    <CodeSnippet>
        <Header>
            <Title>ctor</Title>
            <Shortcut>ctor</Shortcut>
        </Header>
        <Snippet>
            <Declarations>
                <Literal Editable="false"><ID>classname</ID><Function>ClassName()</Function></Literal>
            </Declarations>
            <Code>
                <![CDATA[public $classname$($end$)
                {

                }]]>
            </Code>
        </Snippet>
    </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

This snippet injects the current class name by way of calling C# code snippet function ClassName(), detailed on this docs.microsoft page.

Address already in use: JVM_Bind java

I usually come across this when the port which the server (I use JBoss) is already in use

Usual suspects

Apache Http Server => turn down the service if working in windows.
IIS => stop the ISS using
Skype =>yea I got skype attaching itself to port 80

To change the port to which JBoss 4.2.x binds itself go to:

"C:\jboss4.2.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\server.xml"

here default is the instance of the server change the port here :

<Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}" >

In the above example the port is bound to 8080

CSS Input with width: 100% goes outside parent's bound

Padding is added to the overall width. Because your container has a pixel width, you are better off giving the inputs a pixel width too, but remember to remove the padding and border from the width you set to avoid the same issue.

Hide div element when screen size is smaller than a specific size

I don't know about CSS but this Javascript code should work:

         {
          w = window.innerWidth; //other browsers
          h = window.innerHeight;
         } 
         else if(typeof document.documentElement != 'undefined' && typeof      document.documentElement.clientWidth != 'undefined' && document.documentElement.clientWidth != 0)

How to convert a timezone aware string to datetime in Python without dateutil?

There are two issues with the code in the original question: there should not be a : in the timezone and the format string for "timezone as an offset" is lower case %z not upper %Z.

How to remove all MySQL tables from the command-line without DROP database permissions?

The @Devart's version is correct, but here are some improvements to avoid having error. I've edited the @Devart's answer, but it was not accepted.

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN=32768;
SET @tables = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('`', table_name, '`') INTO @tables
  FROM information_schema.tables
  WHERE table_schema = (SELECT DATABASE());
SELECT IFNULL(@tables,'dummy') INTO @tables;

SET @tables = CONCAT('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ', @tables);
PREPARE stmt FROM @tables;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;

This script will not raise error with NULL result in case when you already deleted all tables in the database by adding at least one nonexistent - "dummy" table.

And it fixed in case when you have many tables.

And This small change to drop all view exist in the Database

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN=32768;
SET @views = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('`', TABLE_NAME, '`') INTO @views
  FROM information_schema.views
  WHERE table_schema = (SELECT DATABASE());
SELECT IFNULL(@views,'dummy') INTO @views;

SET @views = CONCAT('DROP VIEW IF EXISTS ', @views);
PREPARE stmt FROM @views;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;

It assumes that you run the script from Database you want to delete. Or run this before:

USE REPLACE_WITH_DATABASE_NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_DELETE;

Thank you to Steve Horvath to discover the issue with backticks.

WHERE IS NULL, IS NOT NULL or NO WHERE clause depending on SQL Server parameter value

I've had success with this solution. It's almost like Patrick's, with a little twist. You can use these expressions separately or in sequence. If the parameter is blank, it will be ignored and all values for the column that your searching will be displayed, including NULLS.

SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE 
    --check to see if @param1 exists, if @param1 is blank, return all
    --records excluding filters below
(Col1 LIKE '%' + @param1 + '%' OR @param1 = '')
AND
    --where you want to search multiple columns using the same parameter
    --enclose the first 'OR' expression in braces and enclose the entire 
    --expression 
((Col2 LIKE '%' + @searchString + '%' OR Col3 LIKE '%' + @searchString + '%') OR @searchString = '')
AND
    --if your search requires a date you could do the following
(Cast(DateCol AS DATE) BETWEEN CAST(@dateParam AS Date) AND CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) OR @dateParam = '')

Message Queue vs. Web Services?

I think in general, you'd want a web service for a blocking task (this tasks needs to be completed before we execute more code), and a message queue for a non-blocking task (could take quite a while, but we don't need to wait for it).

        if(document.location.href.indexOf(aObj[i].href)>=0) {
          var activeurl = window.location;
          $('a[href="'+activeurl+'"]').parent('li').addClass('active');
        }
      }

Apply Calibri (Body) font to text

There is no such font as “Calibri (Body)”. You probably saw this string in Microsoft Word font selection menu, but it’s not a font name (see e.g. the explanation Font: +body (in W07)).

So use just font-family: Calibri or, better, font-family: Calibri, sans-serif. (There is no adequate backup font for Calibri, but the odds are that when Calibri is not available, the browser’s default sans-serif font suits your design better than the browser’s default font, which is most often a serif font.)

How to set the style -webkit-transform dynamically using JavaScript?

To animate your 3D object, use the code:

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

    var x = 100;
    var y = 0;
setInterval(function(){
    x += 1;
    y += 1;
    var element = document.getElementById('cube');
    element.style.webkitTransform = "translateZ(-100px) rotateY("+x+"deg) rotateX("+y+"deg)"; //for safari and chrome
    element.style.MozTransform = "translateZ(-100px) rotateY("+x+"deg) rotateX("+y+"deg)"; //for firefox
},50);
//for other browsers use:   "msTransform",    "OTransform",    "transform"

});

</script>

Nginx upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, for large requests

I had the same error for quite a while, and here what fixed it for me.

I simply declared in service that i use what follows:

Description= Your node service description
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/tmp/node_pid_name.pid
Restart=on-failure
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/node/app/root/directory
ExecStart=/path/to/node /path/to/server.js

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

What should catch your attention here is "After=network.target". I spent days and days looking for fixes on nginx side, while the problem was just that. To be sure, stop running the node service you have, launch the ExecStart command directly and try to reproduce the bug. If it doesn't pop, it just means that your service has a problem. At least this is how i found my answer.

For everybody else, good luck!

How do I change the background color of a plot made with ggplot2

To change the panel's background color, use the following code:

myplot + theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = 'green', colour = 'red'))

To change the color of the plot (but not the color of the panel), you can do:

myplot + theme(plot.background = element_rect(fill = 'green', colour = 'red'))

See here for more theme details Quick reference sheet for legends, axes and themes.

Go test string contains substring

To compare, there are more options:

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
    "strings"
)

const (
    str    = "something"
    substr = "some"
)

// 1. Contains
res := strings.Contains(str, substr)
fmt.Println(res) // true

// 2. Index: check the index of the first instance of substr in str, or -1 if substr is not present
i := strings.Index(str, substr)
fmt.Println(i) // 0

// 3. Split by substr and check len of the slice, or length is 1 if substr is not present
ss := strings.Split(str, substr)
fmt.Println(len(ss)) // 2

// 4. Check number of non-overlapping instances of substr in str
c := strings.Count(str, substr)
fmt.Println(c) // 1

// 5. RegExp
matched, _ := regexp.MatchString(substr, str)
fmt.Println(matched) // true

// 6. Compiled RegExp
re = regexp.MustCompile(substr)
res = re.MatchString(str)
fmt.Println(res) // true

Benchmarks: Contains internally calls Index, so the speed is almost the same (btw Go 1.11.5 showed a bit bigger difference than on Go 1.14.3).

ADB - Android - Getting the name of the current activity

You can try this command,

adb shell dumpsys activity recents

There you can find current activity name in activity stack.

To get most recent activity name:

adb shell dumpsys activity recents | find "Recent #0"

Why use a ReentrantLock if one can use synchronized(this)?

Synchronized locks does not offer any mechanism of waiting queue in which after the execution of one thread any thread running in parallel can acquire the lock. Due to which the thread which is there in the system and running for a longer period of time never gets chance to access the shared resource thus leading to starvation.

Reentrant locks are very much flexible and has a fairness policy in which if a thread is waiting for a longer time and after the completion of the currently executing thread we can make sure that the longer waiting thread gets the chance of accessing the shared resource hereby decreasing the throughput of the system and making it more time consuming.

How to scroll to bottom in react?

As Tushar mentioned, you can keep a dummy div at the bottom of your chat:

render () {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="MessageContainer" >
        <div className="MessagesList">
          {this.renderMessages()}
        </div>
        <div style={{ float:"left", clear: "both" }}
             ref={(el) => { this.messagesEnd = el; }}>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

and then scroll to it whenever your component is updated (i.e. state updated as new messages are added):

scrollToBottom = () => {
  this.messagesEnd.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
}

componentDidMount() {

For people using Tiny Core Linux, you also need to install libtool-dev as it has the *.m4 files needed for libtoolize.

Application not picking up .css file (flask/python)

I have read multiple threads and none of them fixed the issue that people are describing and I have experienced too.

I have even tried to move away from conda and use pip, to upgrade to python 3.7, i have tried all coding proposed and none of them fixed.

And here is why (the problem):

by default python/flask search the static and the template in a folder structure like:

/Users/username/folder_one/folder_two/ProjectName/src/app_name/<static>
 and 
/Users/username/folder_one/folder_two/ProjectName/src/app_name/<template>

you can verify by yourself using the debugger on Pycharm (or anything else) and check the values on the app (app = Flask(name)) and search for teamplate_folder and static_folder

in order to fix this, you have to specify the values when creating the app something like this:

TEMPLATE_DIR = os.path.abspath('../templates')
STATIC_DIR = os.path.abspath('../static')

# app = Flask(__name__) # to make the app run without any
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder=TEMPLATE_DIR, static_folder=STATIC_DIR)

the path TEMPLATE_DIR and STATIC_DIR depend on where the file app is located. in my case, see the picture, it was located within a folder under src.

you can change the template and static folders as you wish and register on the app = Flask...

In truth, I have started experiencing the problem when messing around with folder and at times worked at times not. this fixes the problem once and for all

the html code looks like this:

<link href="{{ url_for('static', filename='libraries/css/bootstrap.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

This the code

Here the structure of the folders

Find intersection of two nested lists?

I was also looking for a way to do it, and eventually it ended up like this:

def compareLists(a,b):
    removed = [x for x in a if x not in b]
    added = [x for x in b if x not in a]
    overlap = [x for x in a if x in b]
    return [removed,added,overlap]

C# equivalent of C++ vector, with contiguous memory?

You could use a List<T> and when T is a value type it will be allocated in contiguous memory which would not be the case if T is a reference type.

Example:

List<int> integers = new List<int>();
integers.Add(1);
integers.Add(4);
integers.Add(7);

int someElement = integers[1];

What's the difference of $host and $http_host in Nginx

$host is a variable of the Core module.

$host

This variable is equal to line Host in the header of request or name of the server processing the request if the Host header is not available.

This variable may have a different value from $http_host in such cases: 1) when the Host input header is absent or has an empty value, $host equals to the value of server_name directive; 2)when the value of Host contains port number, $host doesn't include that port number. $host's value is always lowercase since 0.8.17.

$http_host is also a variable of the same module but you won't find it with that name because it is defined generically as $http_HEADER (ref).

$http_HEADER

The value of the HTTP request header HEADER when converted to lowercase and with 'dashes' converted to 'underscores', e.g. $http_user_agent, $http_referer...;

Summarizing:

$http_host equals always the HTTP_HOST request header.
$host equals $http_host, lowercase and without the port number (if present), except when HTTP_HOST is absent or is an empty value. In that case, $host equals the value of the server_name directive of the server which processed the request.

Convert INT to FLOAT in SQL

In oracle db there is a trick for casting int to float (I suppose, it should also work in mysql):

select myintfield + 0.0 as myfloatfield from mytable

While @Heximal's answer works, I don't personally recommend it.

This is because it uses implicit casting. Although you didn't type CAST, either the SUM() or the 0.0 need to be cast to be the same data-types, before the + can happen. In this case the order of precedence is in your favour, and you get a float on both sides, and a float as a result of the +. But SUM(aFloatField) + 0 does not yield an INT, because the 0 is being implicitly cast to a FLOAT.

I find that in most programming cases, it is much preferable to be explicit. Don't leave things to chance, confusion, or interpretation.

If you want to be explicit, I would use the following.

CAST(SUM(sl.parts) AS FLOAT) * cp.price
-- using MySQL CAST FLOAT  requires 8.0

I won't discuss whether NUMERIC or FLOAT *(fixed point, instead of floating point)* is more appropriate, when it comes to rounding errors, etc. I'll just let you google that if you need to, but FLOAT is so massively misused that there is a lot to read about the subject already out there.

You can try the following to see what happens...

CAST(SUM(sl.parts) AS NUMERIC(10,4)) * CAST(cp.price AS NUMERIC(10,4))

How can I read and manipulate CSV file data in C++?

I've worked with a lot of CSV files in my time. I'd like to add the advice:

1 - Depending on the source (Excel, etc), commas or tabs may be embedded in a field. Usually, the rule is that they will be 'protected' because the field will be double-quote delimited, as in "Boston, MA 02346".

2 - Some sources will not double-quote delimit all text fields. Other sources will. Others will delimit all fields, even numerics.

3 - Fields containing double-quotes usually get the embedded double quotes doubled up (and the field itself delimited with double quotes, as in "George ""Babe"" Ruth".

4 - Some sources will embed CR/LFs (Excel is one of these!). Sometimes it'll be just a CR. The field will usually be double-quote delimited, but this situation is very difficult to handle.

Count the cells with same color in google spreadsheet

You can use this working script:

/**
* @param {range} countRange Range to be evaluated
* @param {range} colorRef Cell with background color to be searched for in countRange
* @return {number}
* @customfunction
*/

function countColoredCells(countRange,colorRef) {
  var activeRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();
  var activeSheet = activeRange.getSheet();
  var formula = activeRange.getFormula();

  var rangeA1Notation = formula.match(/\((.*)\,/).pop();
  var range = activeSheet.getRange(rangeA1Notation);
  var bg = range.getBackgrounds();
  var values = range.getValues();

  var colorCellA1Notation = formula.match(/\,(.*)\)/).pop();
  var colorCell = activeSheet.getRange(colorCellA1Notation);
  var color = colorCell.getBackground();

  var count = 0;

  for(var i=0;i<bg.length;i++)
    for(var j=0;j<bg[0].length;j++)
      if( bg[i][j] == color )
        count=count+1;
  return count;
};

Then call this function in your google sheets:

=countColoredCells(D5:D123,Z11)

How to lay out Views in RelativeLayout programmatically?

This approach with ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams worked for me:

RelativeLayout myLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_layout);

TextView someTextView = ...

int leftMargin = Util.getXPos();
int topMargin = Util.getYPos();

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
    new ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams(
        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

lp.setMargins(leftMargin, topMargin, 0, 0);

myLayout.addView(someTextView, lp);

Python Remove last 3 characters of a string

It some what depends on your definition of whitespace. I would generally call whitespace to be spaces, tabs, line breaks and carriage returns. If this is your definition you want to use a regex with \s to replace all whitespace charactors:

import re

def myCleaner(foo):
    print 'dirty: ', foo
    foo = re.sub(r'\s', '', foo)
    foo = foo[:-3]
    foo = foo.upper()
    print 'clean:', foo
    print

myCleaner("BS1 1AB")
myCleaner("bs11ab")
myCleaner("BS111ab")

How to get the latest file in a folder?

A much faster method on windows (0.05s), call a bat script that does this:

get_latest.bat

@echo off
for /f %%i in ('dir \\directory\in\question /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%%i
%LAST%

where \\directory\in\question is the directory you want to investigate.

get_latest.py

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
p = Popen("get_latest.bat", shell=True, stdout=PIPE,)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
print(stdout, stderr)

if it finds a file stdout is the path and stderr is None.

Use stdout.decode("utf-8").rstrip() to get the usable string representation of the file name.

}

    $('.dd-item').click(function () {
    console.log($(this).attr('id'));
    });

How does one output bold text in Bash?

In theory like so:

# BOLD
$ echo -e "\033[1mThis is a BOLD line\033[0m"
This is a BOLD line

# Using tput
tput bold 
echo "This" #BOLD
tput sgr0 #Reset text attributes to normal without clear.
echo "This" #NORMAL

# UNDERLINE
$ echo -e "\033[4mThis is a underlined line.\033[0m"
This is a underlined line.

But in practice it may be interpreted as "high intensity" color instead.

Best way to read a large file into a byte array in C#?

Overview: if your image is added as a action= embedded resource then use the GetExecutingAssembly to retrieve the jpg resource into a stream then read the binary data in the stream into an byte array

   public byte[] GetAImage()
    {
        byte[] bytes=null;
        var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        var resourceName = "MYWebApi.Images.X_my_image.jpg";

        using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
        {
            bytes = new byte[stream.Length];
            stream.Read(bytes, 0, (int)stream.Length);
        }
        return bytes;

    }

svn list of files that are modified in local copy

Vue - Deep watching an array of objects and calculating the change?

The component solution and deep-clone solution have their advantages, but also have issues:

Sometimes you want to track changes in abstract data - it doesn't always make sense to build components around that data.
Deep-cloning your entire data structure every time you make a change can be very expensive.

I think there's a better way. If you want to watch all items in a list and know which item in the list changed, you can set up custom watchers on every item separately, like so:

var vm = new Vue({
  data: {
    list: [
      {name: 'obj1 to watch'},
      {name: 'obj2 to watch'},
    ],
  },
  methods: {
    handleChange (newVal) {
      // Handle changes here!
      console.log(newVal);
    },
  },
  created () {
    this.list.forEach((val) => {
      this.$watch(() => val, this.handleChange, {deep: true});
    });
  },
});

With this structure, handleChange() will receive the specific list item that changed - from there you can do any handling you like.

I have also documented a more complex scenario here, in case you are adding/removing items to your list (rather than only manipulating the items already there).

How can I use Async with ForEach?

This little extension method should give you exception-safe async iteration:

public static async Task ForEachAsync<T>(this List<T> list, Func<T, Task> func)
{
    foreach (var value in list)
    {
        await func(value);
    }
}

Since we're changing the return type of the lambda from void to Task, exceptions will propagate up correctly. This will allow you to write something like this in practice:

await db.Groups.ToList().ForEachAsync(async i => {
    await GetAdminsFromGroup(i.Gid);
});

What's the difference between subprocess Popen and call (how can I use them)?

There are two ways to do the redirect. Both apply to either subprocess.Popen or subprocess.call.

Set the keyword argument shell = True or executable = /path/to/the/shell and specify the command just as you have it there.
Since you're just redirecting the output to a file, set the keyword argument
```
stdout = an_open_writeable_file_object
```
where the object points to the output file.

subprocess.Popen is more general than subprocess.call.

Popen doesn't block, allowing you to interact with the process while it's running, or continue with other things in your Python program. The call to Popen returns a Popen object.

call does block. While it supports all the same arguments as the Popen constructor, so you can still set the process' output, environmental variables, etc., your script waits for the program to complete, and call returns a code representing the process' exit status.

returncode = call(*args, **kwargs)

is basically the same as calling

returncode = Popen(*args, **kwargs).wait()

call is just a convenience function. It's implementation in CPython is in subprocess.py:

def call(*popenargs, timeout=None, **kwargs):
    """Run command with arguments.  Wait for command to complete or
    timeout, then return the returncode attribute.

    The arguments are the same as for the Popen constructor.  Example:

    retcode = call(["ls", "-l"])
    """
    with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:
        try:
            return p.wait(timeout=timeout)
        except:
            p.kill()
            p.wait()
            raise

As you can see, it's a thin wrapper around Popen.

Can I simultaneously declare and assign a variable in VBA?

There is no shorthand in VBA unfortunately, The closest you will get is a purely visual thing using the : continuation character if you want it on one line for readability;

Dim clientToTest As String:  clientToTest = clientsToTest(i)
Dim clientString As Variant: clientString = Split(clientToTest)

Dim ws2 As New Worksheet: ws2.Name = "test"

Detecting the onload event of a window opened with window.open

var myPopup = window.open(...);
myPopup.addEventListener('load', myFunction, false);

If you care about IE, use the following as the second line instead:

myPopup[myPopup.addEventListener ? 'addEventListener' : 'attachEvent'](
  (myPopup.attachEvent ? 'on' : '') + 'load', myFunction, false
);

As you can see, supporting IE is quite cumbersome and should be avoided if possible. I mean, if you need to support IE because of your audience, by all means, do so.

How to format a java.sql.Timestamp(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S) to a date(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss)

You do not need to use substring at all since your format doesn't hold that info.

String fechaStr = "2013-10-10 10:49:29.10000";  
Date fechaNueva = format.parse(fechaStr);

System.out.println(format.format(fechaNueva)); // Prints 2013-10-10 10:49:29

How do I get a button to open another activity?

If you declared your button in the xml file similar to this:

<Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="next activity"
        android:onClick="goToActivity2"
        />

then you can use it to change the activity by putting this at the java file:

public void goToActivity2 (View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent (this, Main2Activity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

Note that my second activity is called "Main2Activity"

Core Data: Quickest way to delete all instances of an entity

Swift 4, iOS 12 and Xcode 10 Update

100% working just cut & paste

Just put this function in relevant class and call this function self.deleteData() in viewDidLoad() or anywhere or under a function or a button so that by clicking a button all the data from entity should be deleted and replace the "myEntity" as your entity that you have defined in your core data

func deleteData() {
    let appDel:AppDelegate = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate)
    let context:NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.persistentContainer.viewContext
    let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "myEntity")
    fetchRequest.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false         
    do {
        let results = try context.fetch(fetchRequest)
        for managedObject in results {
            if let managedObjectData: NSManagedObject = managedObject as? NSManagedObject {
                context.delete(managedObjectData)
            }
        }
    } catch let error as NSError {
        print("Deleted all my data in myEntity error : \(error) \(error.userInfo)")
    }
}

Image Processing: Algorithm Improvement for 'Coca-Cola Can' Recognition

Isn't it difficult even for humans to distinguish between a bottle and a can in the second image (provided the transparent region of the bottle is hidden)?

They are almost the same except for a very small region (that is, width at the top of the can is a little small while the wrapper of the bottle is the same width throughout, but a minor change right?)

The first thing that came to my mind was to check for the red top of bottle. But it is still a problem, if there is no top for the bottle, or if it is partially hidden (as mentioned above).

The second thing I thought was about the transparency of bottle. OpenCV has some works on finding transparent objects in an image. Check the below links.

Particularly look at this to see how accurately they detect glass:

OpenCV Meeting Notes Minutes 2012-04-24

See their implementation result:

Enter image description here

They say it is the implementation of the paper "A Geodesic Active Contour Framework for Finding Glass" by K. McHenry and J. Ponce, CVPR 2006.

It might be helpful in your case a little bit, but problem arises again if the bottle is filled.

So I think here, you can search for the transparent body of the bottles first or for a red region connected to two transparent objects laterally which is obviously the bottle. (When working ideally, an image as follows.)

Enter image description here

Now you can remove the yellow region, that is, the label of the bottle and run your algorithm to find the can.

Anyway, this solution also has different problems like in the other solutions.

It works only if your bottle is empty. In that case, you will have to search for the red region between the two black colors (if the Coca Cola liquid is black).
Another problem if transparent part is covered.

But anyway, if there are none of the above problems in the pictures, this seems be to a better way.
