What is the difference between a strongly typed language and a statically typed language?

This is often misunderstood so let me clear it up.

Static/Dynamic Typing

Static typing is where the type is bound to the variable. Types are checked at compile time.

Dynamic typing is where the type is bound to the value. Types are checked at run time.

So in Java for example:

String s = "abcd";

s will "forever" be a String. During its life it may point to different Strings (since s is a reference in Java). It may have a null value but it will never refer to an Integer or a List. That's static typing.

In PHP:

$s = "abcd";          // $s is a string
$s = 123;             // $s is now an integer
$s = array(1, 2, 3);  // $s is now an array
$s = new DOMDocument; // $s is an instance of the DOMDocument class

That's dynamic typing.

Strong/Weak Typing

(Edit alert!)

Strong typing is a phrase with no widely agreed upon meaning. Most programmers who use this term to mean something other than static typing use it to imply that there is a type discipline that is enforced by the compiler. For example, CLU has a strong type system that does not allow client code to create a value of abstract type except by using the constructors provided by the type. C has a somewhat strong type system, but it can be "subverted" to a degree because a program can always cast a value of one pointer type to a value of another pointer type. So for example, in C you can take a value returned by malloc() and cheerfully cast it to FILE*, and the compiler won't try to stop you—or even warn you that you are doing anything dodgy.

(The original answer said something about a value "not changing type at run time". I have known many language designers and compiler writers and have not known one that talked about values changing type at run time, except possibly some very advanced research in type systems, where this is known as the "strong update problem".)

Weak typing implies that the compiler does not enforce a typing discpline, or perhaps that enforcement can easily be subverted.

The original of this answer conflated weak typing with implicit conversion (sometimes also called "implicit promotion"). For example, in Java:

String s = "abc" + 123; // "abc123";

This is code is an example of implicit promotion: 123 is implicitly converted to a string before being concatenated with "abc". It can be argued the Java compiler rewrites that code as:

String s = "abc" + new Integer(123).toString();

Consider a classic PHP "starts with" problem:

if (strpos('abcdef', 'abc') == false) {
  // not found
}

The error here is that strpos() returns the index of the match, being 0. 0 is coerced into boolean false and thus the condition is actually true. The solution is to use === instead of == to avoid implicit conversion.

This example illustrates how a combination of implicit conversion and dynamic typing can lead programmers astray.

Compare that to Ruby:

val = "abc" + 123

which is a runtime error because in Ruby the object 123 is not implicitly converted just because it happens to be passed to a + method. In Ruby the programmer must make the conversion explicit:

val = "abc" + 123.to_s

Comparing PHP and Ruby is a good illustration here. Both are dynamically typed languages but PHP has lots of implicit conversions and Ruby (perhaps surprisingly if you're unfamiliar with it) doesn't.

Static/Dynamic vs Strong/Weak

The point here is that the static/dynamic axis is independent of the strong/weak axis. People confuse them probably in part because strong vs weak typing is not only less clearly defined, there is no real consensus on exactly what is meant by strong and weak. For this reason strong/weak typing is far more of a shade of grey rather than black or white.

So to answer your question: another way to look at this that's mostly correct is to say that static typing is compile-time type safety and strong typing is runtime type safety.

The reason for this is that variables in a statically typed language have a type that must be declared and can be checked at compile time. A strongly-typed language has values that have a type at run time, and it's difficult for the programmer to subvert the type system without a dynamic check.

But it's important to understand that a language can be Static/Strong, Static/Weak, Dynamic/Strong or Dynamic/Weak.

How to go to a URL using jQuery?

window.location is just what you need. Other thing you can do is to create anchor element and simulate click on it

Xcode 5 and iOS 7: Architecture and Valid architectures

You do not need to limit your compiler to only armv7 and armv7s by removing arm64 setting from supported architectures. You just need to set Deployment target setting to 5.1.1

Important note: you cannot set Deployment target to 5.1.1 in Build Settings section because it is drop-down only with fixed values. But you can easily set it to 5.1.1 in General section of application settings by just typing the value in text field.

css transition opacity fade background

It's not fading to "black transparent" or "white transparent". It's just showing whatever color is "behind" the image, which is not the image's background color - that color is completely hidden by the image.

If you want to fade to black(ish), you'll need a black container around the image. Something like:

.ctr {
    margin: 0; 
    padding: 0;
    background-color: black;
    display: inline-block;
}

and

<div class="ctr"><img ... /></div>

jQuery Ajax File Upload

I'm pretty late for this but I was looking for an ajax based image uploading solution and the answer I was looking for was kinda scattered throughout this post. The solution I settled on involved the FormData object. I assembled a basic form of the code I put together. You can see it demonstrates how to add a custom field to the form with fd.append() as well as how to handle response data when the ajax request is done.

Upload html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Image Upload Form</title>
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function submitForm() {
            console.log("submit event");
            var fd = new FormData(document.getElementById("fileinfo"));
            fd.append("label", "WEBUPLOAD");
            $.ajax({
              url: "upload.php",
              type: "POST",
              data: fd,
              processData: false,  // tell jQuery not to process the data
              contentType: false   // tell jQuery not to set contentType
            }).done(function( data ) {
                console.log("PHP Output:");
                console.log( data );
            });
            return false;
        }
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <form method="post" id="fileinfo" name="fileinfo" onsubmit="return submitForm();">
        <label>Select a file:</label><br>
        <input type="file" name="file" required />
        <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
    <div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>

In case you are working with php here's a way to handle the upload that includes making use of both of the custom fields demonstrated in the above html.

Upload.php

<?php
if ($_POST["label"]) {
    $label = $_POST["label"];
}
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$extension = end($temp);
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) {
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
        echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
    } else {
        $filename = $label.$_FILES["file"]["name"];
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
        echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";

        if (file_exists("uploads/" . $filename)) {
            echo $filename . " already exists. ";
        } else {
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
            "uploads/" . $filename);
            echo "Stored in: " . "uploads/" . $filename;
        }
    }
} else {
    echo "Invalid file";
}
?>

How to write super-fast file-streaming code in C#?

The first thing I would recommend is to take measurements. Where are you losing your time? Is it in the read, or the write?

Over 100,000 accesses (sum the times): How much time is spent allocating the buffer array? How much time is spent opening the file for read (is it the same file every time?) How much time is spent in read and write operations?

If you aren't doing any type of transformation on the file, do you need a BinaryWriter, or can you use a filestream for writes? (try it, do you get identical output? does it save time?)

Using an HTTP PROXY - Python

I recommend you just use the requests module.

It is much easier than the built in http clients: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html

Sample usage:

r = requests.get('http://www.thepage.com', proxies={"http":"http://myproxy:3129"})
thedata = r.content

What is the difference between user and kernel modes in operating systems?

What

Basically the difference between kernel and user modes is not OS dependent and is achieved only by restricting some instructions to be run only in kernel mode by means of hardware design. All other purposes like memory protection can be done only by that restriction.

How

It means that the processor lives in either the kernel mode or in the user mode. Using some mechanisms the architecture can guarantee that whenever it is switched to the kernel mode the OS code is fetched to be run.

Why

Having this hardware infrastructure these could be achieved in common OSes:

  • Protecting user programs from accessing whole the memory, to not let programs overwrite the OS for example,
  • preventing user programs from performing sensitive instructions such as those that change CPU memory pointer bounds, to not let programs break their memory bounds for example.

Getting net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME while calling telephone number from HTML page in Android

The following should work and not require any permissions in the manifest (basically override shouldOverrideUrlLoading and handle links separately from tel, mailto, etc.):

    mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);

    WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            if( url.startsWith("http:") || url.startsWith("https:") ) {
                return false;
            }

            // Otherwise allow the OS to handle things like tel, mailto, etc.
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
            startActivity( intent );
            return true;
        }
    });
    mWebView.loadUrl(url);

Also, note that in the above snippet I am enabling JavaScript, which you will also most likely want, but if for some reason you don't, just remove those 2 lines.

What is the Git equivalent for revision number?

We're using this command to get version and revision from git:

git describe --always --tags --dirty

It returns

  • commit hash as revision when no tagging is used (e.g. gcc7b71f)
  • tag name as version when on a tag (e.g. v2.1.0, used for releases)
  • tag name, revision number since last tag and commit hash when after a tag (e.g. v5.3.0-88-gcc7b71f)
  • same as above plus a "dirty" tag if the working tree has local modifications (e.g. v5.3.0-88-gcc7b71f-dirty)

how to do file upload using jquery serialization

You can upload files via AJAX by using the FormData method. Although IE7,8 and 9 do not support FormData functionality.

$.ajax({
    url: "ajax.php", 
    type: "POST",             
    data: new FormData('form'),
    contentType: false,       
    cache: false,             
    processData:false, 
    success: function(data) {
        $("#response").html(data);
    }
});

What is the function of the push / pop instructions used on registers in x86 assembly?

Almost all CPUs use stack. The program stack is LIFO technique with hardware supported manage.

Stack is amount of program (RAM) memory normally allocated at the top of CPU memory heap and grow (at PUSH instruction the stack pointer is decreased) in opposite direction. A standard term for inserting into stack is PUSH and for remove from stack is POP.

Stack is managed via stack intended CPU register, also called stack pointer, so when CPU perform POP or PUSH the stack pointer will load/store a register or constant into stack memory and the stack pointer will be automatic decreased xor increased according number of words pushed or poped into (from) stack.

Via assembler instructions we can store to stack:

  1. CPU registers and also constants.
  2. Return addresses for functions or procedures
  3. Functions/procedures in/out variables
  4. Functions/procedures local variables.

How to check if a string contains an element from a list in Python

Use a generator together with any, which short-circuits on the first True:

if any(ext in url_string for ext in extensionsToCheck):
    print(url_string)

EDIT: I see this answer has been accepted by OP. Though my solution may be "good enough" solution to his particular problem, and is a good general way to check if any strings in a list are found in another string, keep in mind that this is all that this solution does. It does not care WHERE the string is found e.g. in the ending of the string. If this is important, as is often the case with urls, you should look to the answer of @Wladimir Palant, or you risk getting false positives.

Set SSH connection timeout

The ConnectTimeout option allows you to tell your ssh client how long you're willing to wait for a connection before returning an error. By setting ConnectTimeout to 1, you're effectively saying "try for at most 1 second and then fail if you haven't connected yet".

The problem is that when you connect by name, the DNS lookup can take several seconds. Connecting by IP address is much faster, and may actually work in one second or less. What sinelaw is experiencing is that every attempt to connect by DNS name is failing to occur within one second. The default setting of ConnectTimeout defers to the linux kernel connect timeout, which is usually pretty long.

From io.Reader to string in Go

The most efficient way would be to always use []byte instead of string.

In case you need to print data received from the io.ReadCloser, the fmt package can handle []byte, but it isn't efficient because the fmt implementation will internally convert []byte to string. In order to avoid this conversion, you can implement the fmt.Formatter interface for a type like type ByteSlice []byte.

Dynamic variable names in Bash

How to uninstall Python 2.7 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4?

Note: If you installed Python using Homebrew, then you can follow the following steps, otherwise look for another solution!


To uninstall Python 2.7.10 which you installed using Homebrew, then you can simply issue the following command:

brew uninstall python

Similarly, if you want to uninstall Python 3 (which you installed using Homebrew):

brew uninstall --force python3

How to ignore files/directories in TFS for avoiding them to go to central source repository?

If you're using local workspaces (TFS 2012+) you can now use the .tfignore file to exclude local folders and files from being checked in.

If you add that file to source control you can ensure others on your team share the same exclusion settings.

Full details on MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms245454.aspx#tfignore

For the lazy:

You can configure which kinds of files are ignored by placing a text file called .tfignore in the folder where you want rules to apply. The effects of the .tfignore file are recursive. However, you can create .tfignore files in sub-folders to override the effects of a .tfignore file in a parent folder.

The following rules apply to a .tfignore file:

  • # begins a comment line
  • The * and ? wildcards are supported.
  • A filespec is recursive unless prefixed by the \ character.
  • ! negates a filespec (files that match the pattern are not ignored)

Example file:

# Ignore .cpp files in the ProjA sub-folder and all its subfolders
ProjA\*.cpp
# 
# Ignore .txt files in this folder 
\*.txt
#
# Ignore .xml files in this folder and all its sub-folders
*.xml
#
# Ignore all files in the Temp sub-folder
\Temp
#
# Do not ignore .dll files in this folder nor in any of its sub-folders
!*.dll

Using getResources() in non-activity class

I am late but complete solution;: Example Class, Use Context like this :-

public class SingletonSampleClass {

    // Your cute context
    private Context context;
    private static SingletonSampleClass instance;

  // Pass as Constructor
    private SingletonSampleClass(Context context) {
        this.context = context;
    }

    public synchronized static SingletonSampleClass getInstance(Context context) {
        if (instance == null) instance = new SingletonSampleClass(context);
        return instance;
    }

//At end, don't forgot to relase memory
    public void onDestroy() {
       if(context != null) {
          context = null; 
       }
    }
}

Warning (Memory Leaks)

How to solve this?

Option 1: Instead of passing activity context i.e. this to the singleton class, you can pass applicationContext().

Option 2: If you really have to use activity context, then when the activity is destroyed, ensure that the context you passed to the singleton class is set to null.

Hope it helps..????

Why is “while ( !feof (file) )” always wrong?

It's wrong because (in the absence of a read error) it enters the loop one more time than the author expects. If there is a read error, the loop never terminates.

Consider the following code:

/* WARNING: demonstration of bad coding technique!! */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

FILE *Fopen(const char *path, const char *mode);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    FILE *in;
    unsigned count;

    in = argc > 1 ? Fopen(argv[1], "r") : stdin;
    count = 0;

    /* WARNING: this is a bug */
    while( !feof(in) ) {  /* This is WRONG! */
        fgetc(in);
        count++;
    }
    printf("Number of characters read: %u\n", count);
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

FILE * Fopen(const char *path, const char *mode)
{
    FILE *f = fopen(path, mode);
    if( f == NULL ) {
        perror(path);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    return f;
}

This program will consistently print one greater than the number of characters in the input stream (assuming no read errors). Consider the case where the input stream is empty:

$ ./a.out < /dev/null
Number of characters read: 1

In this case, feof() is called before any data has been read, so it returns false. The loop is entered, fgetc() is called (and returns EOF), and count is incremented. Then feof() is called and returns true, causing the loop to abort.

This happens in all such cases. feof() does not return true until after a read on the stream encounters the end of file. The purpose of feof() is NOT to check if the next read will reach the end of file. The purpose of feof() is to determine the status of a previous read function and distinguish between an error condition and the end of the data stream. If fread() returns 0, you must use feof/ferror to decide whether an error occurred or if all of the data was consumed. Similarly if fgetc returns EOF. feof() is only useful after fread has returned zero or fgetc has returned EOF. Before that happens, feof() will always return 0.

It is always necessary to check the return value of a read (either an fread(), or an fscanf(), or an fgetc()) before calling feof().

Even worse, consider the case where a read error occurs. In that case, fgetc() returns EOF, feof() returns false, and the loop never terminates. In all cases where while(!feof(p)) is used, there must be at least a check inside the loop for ferror(), or at the very least the while condition should be replaced with while(!feof(p) && !ferror(p)) or there is a very real possibility of an infinite loop, probably spewing all sorts of garbage as invalid data is being processed.

So, in summary, although I cannot state with certainty that there is never a situation in which it may be semantically correct to write "while(!feof(f))" (although there must be another check inside the loop with a break to avoid a infinite loop on a read error), it is the case that it is almost certainly always wrong. And even if a case ever arose where it would be correct, it is so idiomatically wrong that it would not be the right way to write the code. Anyone seeing that code should immediately hesitate and say, "that's a bug". And possibly slap the author (unless the author is your boss in which case discretion is advised.)

What's the fastest way in Python to calculate cosine similarity given sparse matrix data?

I suggest to run in two steps:

1) generate mapping A that maps A:column index->non zero objects

2) for each object i (row) with non-zero occurrences(columns) {k1,..kn} calculate cosine similarity just for elements in the union set A[k1] U A[k2] U.. A[kn]

Assuming a big sparse matrix with high sparsity this will gain a significant boost over brute force

How to store arrays in MySQL?

A sidenote to consider, you can store arrays in Postgres.

adding css class to multiple elements

try this:

.button input, .button a {

}

That will apply the style to all a tags nested inside of <p class="button"></p>

Postgresql - change the size of a varchar column to lower length

Ok, I'm probably late to the party, BUT...

THERE'S NO NEED TO RESIZE THE COLUMN IN YOUR CASE!

Postgres, unlike some other databases, is smart enough to only use just enough space to fit the string (even using compression for longer strings), so even if your column is declared as VARCHAR(255) - if you store 40-character strings in the column, the space usage will be 40 bytes + 1 byte of overhead.

The storage requirement for a short string (up to 126 bytes) is 1 byte plus the actual string, which includes the space padding in the case of character. Longer strings have 4 bytes of overhead instead of 1. Long strings are compressed by the system automatically, so the physical requirement on disk might be less. Very long values are also stored in background tables so that they do not interfere with rapid access to shorter column values.

The size specification in VARCHAR is only used to check the size of the values which are inserted, it does not affect the disk layout. In fact, VARCHAR and TEXT fields are stored in the same way in Postgres.

When is a language considered a scripting language?

Simple. When I use it, it's a modern dynamic language, when you use it, it's merely a scripting language!

Using ResourceManager

I went through a similar issue. If you consider your "YeagerTechResources.Resources", it means that your Resources.resx is at the root folder of your project.

Be careful to include the full path eg : "project\subfolder(s)\file[.resx]" to the ResourceManager constructor.

adding and removing classes in angularJs using ng-click

If you prefer separation of concerns such that logic for adding and removing classes happens on the controller, you can do this

controller

 (function() {
    angular.module('MyApp', []).controller('MyController', MyController);

    function MyController() {
      var vm = this;
      vm.tab = 0;

      vm.setTab = function(val) {
          vm.tab = val;
       };
      vm.toggleClass = function(val) {
          return val === vm.tab;
           };
        }
    })();

HTML

<div ng-app="MyApp">
  <ul class="" ng-controller="MyController as myCtrl">
    <li ng-click="myCtrl.setTab(0)" ng-class="{'highlighted':myCtrl.toggleClass(0)}">One</li>
    <li ng-click="myCtrl.setTab(1)" ng-class="{'highlighted':myCtrl.toggleClass(1)}">Two</li>
    <li ng-click="myCtrl.setTab(2)" ng-class="{'highlighted':myCtrl.toggleClass(2)}">Three</li>
   <li ng-click="myCtrl.setTab(3)" ng-class="{'highlighted':myCtrl.toggleClass(3)}">Four</li>
 </ul>

CSS

.highlighted {
   background-color: green;
   color: white;
}

Merge two HTML table cells

Add an attribute colspan (abbriviation for 'column span') in your top cell (<td>) and set its value to 2. Your table should resembles the following;

<table>
    <tr>
        <td colspan = "2">
            <!-- Merged Columns -->
        </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>
            <!-- Column 1 -->
        </td>

        <td>
            <!-- Column 2 -->
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

How to handle change text of span

Span does not have 'change' event by default. But you can add this event manually.

Listen to the change event of span.

$("#span1").on('change',function(){
     //Do calculation and change value of other span2,span3 here
     $("#span2").text('calculated value');
});

And wherever you change the text in span1. Trigger the change event manually.

$("#span1").text('test').trigger('change'); 

Which data type for latitude and longitude?

If you do not need all the functionality PostGIS offers, Postgres (nowadays) offers an extension module called earthdistance. It uses the point or cube data type depending on your accuracy needs for distance calculations.

You can now use the earth_box function to -for example- query for points within a certain distance of a location.

How do I convert an enum to a list in C#?

Here for usefulness... some code for getting the values into a list, which converts the enum into readable form for the text

public class KeyValuePair
  {
    public string Key { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int Value { get; set; }

    public static List<KeyValuePair> ListFrom<T>()
    {
      var array = (T[])(Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>());
      return array
        .Select(a => new KeyValuePair
          {
            Key = a.ToString(),
            Name = a.ToString().SplitCapitalizedWords(),
            Value = Convert.ToInt32(a)
          })
          .OrderBy(kvp => kvp.Name)
         .ToList();
    }
  }

.. and the supporting System.String extension method:

/// <summary>
/// Split a string on each occurrence of a capital (assumed to be a word)
/// e.g. MyBigToe returns "My Big Toe"
/// </summary>
public static string SplitCapitalizedWords(this string source)
{
  if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(source)) return String.Empty;
  var newText = new StringBuilder(source.Length * 2);
  newText.Append(source[0]);
  for (int i = 1; i < source.Length; i++)
  {
    if (char.IsUpper(source[i]))
      newText.Append(' ');
    newText.Append(source[i]);
  }
  return newText.ToString();
}

Best way to extract a subvector from a vector?

If both are not going to be modified (no adding/deleting items - modifying existing ones is fine as long as you pay heed to threading issues), you can simply pass around data.begin() + 100000 and data.begin() + 101000, and pretend that they are the begin() and end() of a smaller vector.

Or, since vector storage is guaranteed to be contiguous, you can simply pass around a 1000 item array:

T *arrayOfT = &data[0] + 100000;
size_t arrayOfTLength = 1000;

Both these techniques take constant time, but require that the length of data doesn't increase, triggering a reallocation.

Directory index forbidden by Options directive

I got stuck on the same error, the problem was coming from a syntax error in a MySql statement in my code, in particular my $_session variable was missing a "'. It took hours to figure it out because on the error log the statement was misleading. Hope it helps somebody.

How to switch text case in visual studio code

Quoted from this post:

The question is about how to make CTRL+SHIFT+U work in Visual Studio Code. Here is how to do it. (Version 1.8.1 or above). You can also choose a different key combination.

File-> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

An editor will appear with keybindings.json file. Place the following JSON in there and save.

[
 {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+u",
    "command": "editor.action.transformToUppercase",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
 },
 {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+l",
    "command": "editor.action.transformToLowercase",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
 }
]

Now CTRL+SHIFT+U will capitalise selected text, even if multi line. In the same way, CTRL+SHIFT+L will make selected text lowercase.

These commands are built into VS Code, and no extensions are required to make them work.

Automating the InvokeRequired code pattern

Usage:

control.InvokeIfRequired(c => c.Visible = false);

return control.InvokeIfRequired(c => {
    c.Visible = value

    return c.Visible;
});

Code:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace Extensions
{
    public static class SynchronizeInvokeExtensions
    {
        public static void InvokeIfRequired<T>(this T obj, Action<T> action)
            where T : ISynchronizeInvoke
        {
            if (obj.InvokeRequired)
            {
                obj.Invoke(action, new object[] { obj });
            }
            else
            {
                action(obj);
            }
        }

        public static TOut InvokeIfRequired<TIn, TOut>(this TIn obj, Func<TIn, TOut> func) 
            where TIn : ISynchronizeInvoke
        {
            return obj.InvokeRequired
                ? (TOut)obj.Invoke(func, new object[] { obj })
                : func(obj);
        }
    }
}

Relative div height

add this to you CSS:

html, body
{
    height: 100%;
}

working Fiddle

when you say to wrap to be 100%, 100% of what? of its parent (body), so his parent has to have some height.

and the same goes for body, his parent his html. html parent his the viewport.. so, by setting them both to 100%, wrap can also have a percentage height.

also: the elements have some default padding/margin, that causes them to span a little more then the height you applied to them. (causing a scroll bar) you can use

*
{
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

to disable that.

Look at That Fiddle

How do I run a command on an already existing Docker container?

Pipe a command to stdin

Must remove the -t for it to work:

echo 'touch myfile' | sudo docker exec -i CONTAINER_NAME bash

This can be more convenient that using CLI options sometimes.

Tested with:

sudo docker run --name ub16 -it ubuntu:16.04 bash

then on another shell:

echo 'touch myfile' | sudo docker exec -i ub16 bash

Then on first shell:

ls -l myfile

Tested on Docker 1.13.1, Ubuntu 16.04 host.

Read CSV with Scanner()

scanner.useDelimiter(",");

This should work.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;


public class TestScanner {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File("/Users/pankaj/abc.csv"));
        scanner.useDelimiter(",");
        while(scanner.hasNext()){
            System.out.print(scanner.next()+"|");
        }
        scanner.close();
    }

}

For CSV File:

a,b,c d,e
1,2,3 4,5
X,Y,Z A,B

Output is:

a|b|c d|e
1|2|3 4|5
X|Y|Z A|B|

Reading a string with scanf

An array "decays" into a pointer to its first element, so scanf("%s", string) is equivalent to scanf("%s", &string[0]). On the other hand, scanf("%s", &string) passes a pointer-to-char[256], but it points to the same place.

Then scanf, when processing the tail of its argument list, will try to pull out a char *. That's the Right Thing when you've passed in string or &string[0], but when you've passed in &string you're depending on something that the language standard doesn't guarantee, namely that the pointers &string and &string[0] -- pointers to objects of different types and sizes that start at the same place -- are represented the same way.

I don't believe I've ever encountered a system on which that doesn't work, and in practice you're probably safe. None the less, it's wrong, and it could fail on some platforms. (Hypothetical example: a "debugging" implementation that includes type information with every pointer. I think the C implementation on the Symbolics "Lisp Machines" did something like this.)

Where can I find the Java SDK in Linux after installing it?

This question still seems relevant, and the answer seems to be a moving target.

On my debian system (buster):

> update-java-alternatives -l
java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64      1111       /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64

However, if you actually go look there, you'll see there are multiple directories and symbolic links placed there by the package system to simplify future maintenance.

The actual directory is java-11-openjdk-amd64, with another symlink of default-java. There is also an openjdk-11 directory, but it appears to only contain a source.zip file.

Given this, for Debian ONLY, I would guess the best value to use is /usr/lib/jvm/default-java, as this should always be valid, even if you decide to install a totally different version of java, or even switch vendors.

The normal reason to want to know the path is because some application wants it, and you probably don't want that app to break because you did an upgrade that changed version numbers.

How can you tell if a value is not numeric in Oracle?

You can use the following regular expression which will match integers (e.g., 123), floating-point numbers (12.3), and numbers with exponents (1.2e3):

^-?\d*\.?\d+([eE]-?\d+)?$

If you want to accept + signs as well as - signs (as Oracle does with TO_NUMBER()), you can change each occurrence of - above to [+-]. So you might rewrite your block of code above as follows:

IF (option_id = 0021) THEN 
    IF NOT REGEXP_LIKE(value, '^[+-]?\d*\.?\d+([eE][+-]?\d+)?$') OR TO_NUMBER(value) < 10000 OR TO_NUMBER(value) > 7200000 THEN
        ip_msg(6214,option_name);
        RETURN;
    END IF;
END IF;

I am not altogether certain that would handle all values so you may want to add an EXCEPTION block or write a custom to_number() function as @JustinCave suggests.

Selenium WebDriver.get(url) does not open the URL

I got the same error when issuing a URL without the protocol (like localhost:4200) instead of a correct one also specifying the protocol (e.g. http://localhost:4200).

Google Chrome works fine without the protocol (it takes http as the default), but Firefox crashes with this error.

How to use npm with ASP.NET Core

I give you two answers. npm combined with other tools is powerful but requires some work to setup. If you just want to download some libraries, you might want to use Library Manager instead (released in Visual Studio 15.8).

NPM (Advanced)

First add package.json in the root of you project. Add the following content:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "name": "asp.net",
  "private": true,
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "3.9.1",
    "del": "3.0.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "3.3.1",
    "jquery-validation": "1.17.0",
    "jquery-validation-unobtrusive": "3.2.10",
    "bootstrap": "3.3.7"
  }
}

This will make NPM download Bootstrap, JQuery and other libraries that is used in a new asp.net core project to a folder named node_modules. Next step is to copy the files to an appropriate place. To do this we will use gulp, which also was downloaded by NPM. Then add a new file in the root of you project named gulpfile.js. Add the following content:

/// <binding AfterBuild='default' Clean='clean' />
/*
This file is the main entry point for defining Gulp tasks and using Gulp plugins.
Click here to learn more. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=518007
*/

var gulp = require('gulp');
var del = require('del');

var nodeRoot = './node_modules/';
var targetPath = './wwwroot/lib/';

gulp.task('clean', function () {
    return del([targetPath + '/**/*']);
});

gulp.task('default', function () {
    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "bootstrap/dist/js/*").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/bootstrap/dist/js"));
    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "bootstrap/dist/css/*").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/bootstrap/dist/css"));
    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "bootstrap/dist/fonts/*").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/bootstrap/dist/fonts"));

    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "jquery/dist/jquery.js").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/jquery/dist"));
    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "jquery/dist/jquery.min.js").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/jquery/dist"));
    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "jquery/dist/jquery.min.map").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/jquery/dist"));

    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "jquery-validation/dist/*.js").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/jquery-validation/dist"));

    gulp.src(nodeRoot + "jquery-validation-unobtrusive/dist/*.js").pipe(gulp.dest(targetPath + "/jquery-validation-unobtrusive"));
});

This file contains a JavaScript code that is executed when the project is build and cleaned. It’s will copy all necessary files to lib2 (not lib – you can easily change this). I have used the same structure as in a new project, but it’s easy to change files to a different location. If you move the files, make sure you also update _Layout.cshtml. Note that all files in the lib2-directory will be removed when the project is cleaned.

If you right click on gulpfile.js, you can select Task Runner Explorer. From here you can run gulp manually to copy or clean files.

Gulp could also be useful for other tasks like minify JavaScript and CSS-files:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/client-side/using-gulp?view=aspnetcore-2.1

Library Manager (Simple)

Right click on you project and select Manage client side-libraries. The file libman.json is now open. In this file you specify which library and files to use and where they should be stored locally. Really simple! The following file copies the default libraries that is used when creating a new ASP.NET Core 2.1 project:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "defaultProvider": "cdnjs",
  "libraries": [
    {
      "library": "[email protected]",
      "files": [ "jquery.js", "jquery.min.map", "jquery.min.js" ],
      "destination": "wwwroot/lib/jquery/dist/"
    },
    {
      "library": "[email protected]",
      "files": [ "additional-methods.js", "additional-methods.min.js", "jquery.validate.js", "jquery.validate.min.js" ],
      "destination": "wwwroot/lib/jquery-validation/dist/"
    },
    {
      "library": "[email protected]",
      "files": [ "jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js", "jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" ],
      "destination": "wwwroot/lib/jquery-validation-unobtrusive/"
    },
    {
      "library": "[email protected]",
      "files": [
        "css/bootstrap.css",
        "css/bootstrap.css.map",
        "css/bootstrap.min.css",
        "css/bootstrap.min.css.map",
        "css/bootstrap-theme.css",
        "css/bootstrap-theme.css.map",
        "css/bootstrap-theme.min.css",
        "css/bootstrap-theme.min.css.map",
        "fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot",
        "fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg",
        "fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf",
        "fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff",
        "fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2",
        "js/bootstrap.js",
        "js/bootstrap.min.js",
        "js/npm.js"
      ],
      "destination": "wwwroot/lib/bootstrap/dist"
    },
    {
      "library": "[email protected]",
      "files": [ "list.js", "list.min.js" ],
      "destination": "wwwroot/lib/listjs"
    }
  ]
}

If you move the files, make sure you also update _Layout.cshtml.

Is it possible to clone html element objects in JavaScript / JQuery?

Get the HTML of the element to clone with .innerHTML, and then just make a new object by means of createElement()...

var html = document.getElementById('test').innerHTML;
var clone = document.createElement('span');
clone.innerHTML = html;

In general, clone() functions must be coded by, or understood by, the cloner. For example, let's clone this: <div>Hello, <span>name!</span></div>. If I delete the clone's <span> tags, should it also delete the original's span tags? If both are deleted, the object references were cloned; if only one set is deleted, the object references are brand-new instantiations. In some cases you want one, in others the other.

In HTML, typically, you'll want anything cloned to be referentially self-contained. The best way to make sure these new references are contained properly is to have the same innerHTML rerun and re-understood by the browser within a new element. Better than working to solve your problem, you should know exactly how it's doing its cloning...

Full Working Demo:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function cloneElement() {
    var html = document.getElementById('test').innerHTML;
    var clone = document.createElement('span');
    clone.innerHTML = html;
    document.getElementById('clones').appendChild(clone);
}
_x000D_
<span id="test">Hello!!!</span><br><br>

<span id="clones"></span><br><br>

<input type="button" onclick="cloneElement();" value="Click Here to Clone an Element">

SQL Server : fetching records between two dates?

Your question didnt ask how to use BETWEEN correctly, rather asked for help with the unexpectedly truncated results...

As mentioned/hinting at in the other answers, the problem is that you have time segments in addition to the dates.

In my experience, using date diff is worth the extra wear/tear on the keyboard. It allows you to express exactly what you want, and you are covered.

select * 
from xxx 
where datediff(d, '2012-10-26', dates) >=0
and  datediff(d, dates,'2012-10-27') >=0

using datediff, if the first date is before the second date, you get a positive number. There are several ways to write the above, for instance always having the field first, then the constant. Just flipping the operator. Its a matter of personal preference.

you can be explicit about whether you want to be inclusive or exclusive of the endpoints by dropping one or both equal signs.

BETWEEN will work in your case, because the endpoints are both assumed to be midnight (ie DATEs). If your endpoints were also DATETIME, using BETWEEN may require even more casting. In my mind DATEDIFF was put in our lives to insulate us from those issues.

What is the fastest way to create a checksum for large files in C#

How can I stop a running MySQL query?

Use mysqladmin to kill the runaway query:

Run the following commands:

mysqladmin -uusername -ppassword pr

Then note down the process id.

mysqladmin -uusername -ppassword kill pid

The runaway query should no longer be consuming resources.

How should I validate an e-mail address?

Call This Method where you want to validate email ID.

public static boolean isValid(String email)

   CharSequence inputStr = email;
   Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
   Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
   if (matcher.matches()) 
   {
      return true;
   }
   else{
   return false;
   }

Marquee text in Android

You can use

android:ellipsize="marquee"

FIX CSS <!--[if lt IE 8]> in IE

Also, the comment tag

<comment></comment> 

is only supported in IE 8 and below, so if that's exactly what you're trying to target, you could wrap them in comment tag. They're the same as

<!--[if lte IE 8]><![endif]-->

In which lte means "less than or equal to".

C# how to change data in DataTable?

Try the SetField method:

table.Rows[i].SetField(column, value);
table.Rows[i].SetField(columnIndex, value);
table.Rows[i].SetField(columnName, value);

This should get the job done and is a bit "cleaner" than using Rows[i][j].

How to add a delay for a 2 or 3 seconds

You could use Thread.Sleep() function, e.g.

int milliseconds = 2000;
Thread.Sleep(milliseconds);

that completely stops the execution of the current thread for 2 seconds.

Probably the most appropriate scenario for Thread.Sleep is when you want to delay the operations in another thread, different from the main e.g. :

 MAIN THREAD        --------------------------------------------------------->
 (UI, CONSOLE ETC.)      |                                      |
                         |                                      |
 OTHER THREAD            ----- ADD A DELAY (Thread.Sleep) ------>

For other scenarios (e.g. starting operations after some time etc.) check Cody's answer.

Failed to load c++ bson extension

I had this problem because I was including the node_modules folder in my Git repository. When I rebuilt the node_modules on the other system it worked. One of them was running Linux, the other OS X. Maybe they had different processor architectures as well.

Faster way to zero memory than with memset?

There is one fatal flaw in this otherwise great and helpful test: As memset is the first instruction, there seems to be some "memory overhead" or so which makes it extremely slow. Moving the timing of memset to second place and something else to first place or simply timing memset twice makes memset the fastest with all compile switches!!!

RegEx for matching UK Postcodes

I'd recommend taking a look at the UK Government Data Standard for postcodes [link now dead; archive of XML, see Wikipedia for discussion]. There is a brief description about the data and the attached xml schema provides a regular expression. It may not be exactly what you want but would be a good starting point. The RegEx differs from the XML slightly, as a P character in third position in format A9A 9AA is allowed by the definition given.

The RegEx supplied by the UK Government was:

([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9][A-Za-z]?))))\s?[0-9][A-Za-z]{2})

As pointed out on the Wikipedia discussion, this will allow some non-real postcodes (e.g. those starting AA, ZY) and they do provide a more rigorous test that you could try.

How can my iphone app detect its own version number?

Swift 5:

There are two things - App version and build version

  • To get App version:

     if let appVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as? String {
          // present appVersion
    }
    
  • To get Build version:

     if let buildVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleVersion"] as? String {
          // present buildVersion
     }

How to catch and print the full exception traceback without halting/exiting the program?

First, don't use prints for logging, there is astable, proven and well-thought out stdlib module to do that: logging. You definitely should use it instead.

Second, don't be tempted to do a mess with unrelated tools when there is native and simple approach. Here it is:

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

try:
    call_code_that_fails()
except MyError:
    log.exception('Any extra info you want to see in your logs')

That's it. You are done now.

Explanation for anyone who is interested in how things work under the hood

What log.exception is actually doing is just a call to log.error (that is, log event with level ERROR) and print traceback then.

Why is it better?

Well, here is some considerations:

  • it is just right;
  • it is straightforward;
  • it is simple.

Why should nobody use traceback or call logger with exc_info=True or get their hands dirty with sys.exc_info?

Well, just because! They all exist for different purposes. For example, traceback.print_exc's output is a little bit different from tracebacks produced by the interpreter itself. If you use it, you will confuse anyone who reads your logs, they will be banging their heads against them.

Passing exc_info=True to log calls is just inappropriate. But, it is useful when catching recoverable errors and you want to log them (using, e.g INFO level) with tracebacks as well, because log.exception produces logs of only one level - ERROR.

And you definitely should avoid messing with sys.exc_info as much as you can. It's just not a public interface, it's an internal one - you can use it if you definitely know what you are doing. It is not intended for just printing exceptions.

C# List<string> to string with delimiter

You can also do this with linq if you'd like

var names = new List<string>() { "John", "Anna", "Monica" };
var joinedNames = names.Aggregate((a, b) => a + ", " + b);

Although I prefer the non-linq syntax in Quartermeister's answer and I think Aggregate might perform slower (probably more string concatenation operations).

Count the number occurrences of a character in a string

Regular expressions are very useful if you want case-insensitivity (and of course all the power of regex).

my_string = "Mary had a little lamb"
# simplest solution, using count, is case-sensitive
my_string.count("m")   # yields 1
import re
# case-sensitive with regex
len(re.findall("m", my_string))
# three ways to get case insensitivity - all yield 2
len(re.findall("(?i)m", my_string))
len(re.findall("m|M", my_string))
len(re.findall(re.compile("m",re.IGNORECASE), my_string))

Be aware that the regex version takes on the order of ten times as long to run, which will likely be an issue only if my_string is tremendously long, or the code is inside a deep loop.

How to Customize the time format for Python logging?

From the official documentation regarding the Formatter class:

The constructor takes two optional arguments: a message format string and a date format string.

So change

# create formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s;%(levelname)s;%(message)s")

to

# create formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s;%(levelname)s;%(message)s",
                              "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Replacing H1 text with a logo image: best method for SEO and accessibility?

Chiming in a bit late here, but couldn't resist.

You're question is half-flawed. Let me explain:

The first half of your question, on image replacement, is a valid question, and my opinion is that for a logo, a simple image; an alt attribute; and CSS for its positioning are sufficient.

The second half of your question, on the "SEO value" of the H1 for a logo is the wrong approach to deciding on which elements to use for different types of content.

A logo isn't a primary heading, or even a heading at all, and using the H1 element to markup the logo on each page of your site will do (slightly) more harm than good for your rankings. Semantically, headings (H1 - H6) are appropriate for, well, just that: headings and subheadings for content.

In HTML5, more than one heading is allowed per page, but a logo isn't deserving of one of them. Your logo, which might be a fuzzy green widget and some text is in an image off to the side of the header for a reason - it's sort of a "stamp", not a hierarchical element to structure your content. The first (whether you use more depends on your heading hierarchy) H1 of each page of your site should headline its subject matter. The main primary heading of your index page might be 'The Best Source For Fuzzy Green Widgets in NYC'. The primary heading on another page might be 'Shipping Details for Our Fuzzy Widgets'. On another page, it may be 'About Bert's Fuzzy Widgets Inc.'. You get the idea.

Side note: As incredible as it sounds, don't look at the source of Google-owned web properties for examples of correct markup. This is a whole post unto itself.

To get the most "SEO value" out HTML and its elements, take a look at the HTML5 specs, and make make markup decisions based on (HTML) semantics and value to users before search engines, and you'll have better success with your SEO.

Ways to iterate over a list in Java

Right, many alternatives are listed. The easiest and cleanest would be just using the enhanced for statement as below. The Expression is of some type that is iterable.

for ( FormalParameter : Expression ) Statement

For example, to iterate through, List<String> ids, we can simply so,

for (String str : ids) {
    // Do something
}

execute shell command from android

You should grab the standard input of the su process just launched and write down the command there, otherwise you are running the commands with the current UID.

Try something like this:

try{
    Process su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
    DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(su.getOutputStream());

    outputStream.writeBytes("screenrecord --time-limit 10 /sdcard/MyVideo.mp4\n");
    outputStream.flush();

    outputStream.writeBytes("exit\n");
    outputStream.flush();
    su.waitFor();
}catch(IOException e){
    throw new Exception(e);
}catch(InterruptedException e){
    throw new Exception(e);
}

Adding text to a cell in Excel using VBA

Range("$A$1").Value = "'01/01/13 00:00" will do it.

Note the single quote; this will defeat automatic conversion to a number type. But is that what you really want? An alternative would be to format the cell to take a date-time value. Then drop the single quote from the string.

How to remove/delete a large file from commit history in Git repository?

Why not use this simple but powerful command?

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f DVD-rip' HEAD

The --tree-filter option runs the specified command after each checkout of the project and then recommits the results. In this case, you remove a file called DVD-rip from every snapshot, whether it exists or not.

If you know which commit introduced the huge file (say 35dsa2), you can replace HEAD with 35dsa2..HEAD to avoid rewriting too much history, thus avoiding diverging commits if you haven't pushed yet. This comment courtesy of @alpha_989 seems too important to leave out here.

How to dynamic new Anonymous Class?

You can create an ExpandoObject like this:

IDictionary<string,object> expando = new ExpandoObject();
expando["Name"] = value;

And after casting it to dynamic, those values will look like properties:

dynamic d = expando;
Console.WriteLine(d.Name);

However, they are not actual properties and cannot be accessed using Reflection. So the following statement will return a null:

d.GetType().GetProperty("Name") 

T-SQL: Export to new Excel file

This is by far the best post for exporting to excel from SQL:

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49926

To quote from user madhivanan,

Apart from using DTS and Export wizard, we can also use this query to export data from SQL Server2000 to Excel

Create an Excel file named testing having the headers same as that of table columns and use these queries

1 Export data to existing EXCEL file from SQL Server table

insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;', 
    'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from SQLServerTable

2 Export data from Excel to new SQL Server table

select * 
into SQLServerTable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES', 
    'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

3 Export data from Excel to existing SQL Server table (edited)

Insert into SQLServerTable Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES', 
    'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')

4 If you dont want to create an EXCEL file in advance and want to export data to it, use

EXEC sp_makewebtask 
    @outputfile = 'd:\testing.xls', 
    @query = 'Select * from Database_name..SQLServerTable', 
    @colheaders =1, 
    @FixedFont=0,@lastupdated=0,@resultstitle='Testing details'

(Now you can find the file with data in tabular format)

5 To export data to new EXCEL file with heading(column names), create the following procedure

create procedure proc_generate_excel_with_columns
(
    @db_name    varchar(100),
    @table_name varchar(100),   
    @file_name  varchar(100)
)
as

--Generate column names as a recordset
declare @columns varchar(8000), @sql varchar(8000), @data_file varchar(100)
select 
    @columns=coalesce(@columns+',','')+column_name+' as '+column_name 
from 
    information_schema.columns
where 
    table_name=@table_name
select @columns=''''''+replace(replace(@columns,' as ',''''' as '),',',',''''')

--Create a dummy file to have actual data
select @data_file=substring(@file_name,1,len(@file_name)-charindex('\',reverse(@file_name)))+'\data_file.xls'

--Generate column names in the passed EXCEL file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp " select * from (select '+@columns+') as t" queryout "'+@file_name+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Generate data in the dummy file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp "select * from '+@db_name+'..'+@table_name+'" queryout "'+@data_file+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Copy dummy file to passed EXCEL file
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''type '+@data_file+' >> "'+@file_name+'"'''
exec(@sql)

--Delete dummy file 
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''del '+@data_file+''''
exec(@sql)

After creating the procedure, execute it by supplying database name, table name and file path:

EXEC proc_generate_excel_with_columns 'your dbname', 'your table name','your file path'

Its a whomping 29 pages but that is because others show various other ways as well as people asking questions just like this one on how to do it.

Follow that thread entirely and look at the various questions people have asked and how they are solved. I picked up quite a bit of knowledge just skimming it and have used portions of it to get expected results.

To update single cells

A member also there Peter Larson posts the following: I think one thing is missing here. It is great to be able to Export and Import to Excel files, but how about updating single cells? Or a range of cells?

This is the principle of how you do manage that

update OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\test.xls;hdr=no', 
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$b7:b7]') set f1 = -99

You can also add formulas to Excel using this:

update OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\test.xls;hdr=no', 
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$b7:b7]') set f1 = '=a7+c7'

Member Mladen Prajdic also has a blog entry on how to do this here

Errors that may occur

If you get the following error:

How to copy commits from one branch to another?

Or if You are little less on the evangelist's side You can do a little ugly way I'm using. In deploy_template there are commits I want to copy on my master as branch deploy

git branch deploy deploy_template
git checkout deploy
git rebase master

This will create new branch deploy (I use -f to overwrite existing deploy branch) on deploy_template, then rebase this new branch onto master, leaving deploy_template untouched.

When should I use the new keyword in C++?

Without the new keyword you're storing that on call stack. Storing excessively large variables on stack will lead to stack overflow.

Calculate difference in keys contained in two Python dictionaries

If you really mean exactly what you say (that you only need to find out IF "there are any keys" in B and not in A, not WHICH ONES might those be if any), the fastest way should be:

if any(True for k in dictB if k not in dictA): ...

If you actually need to find out WHICH KEYS, if any, are in B and not in A, and not just "IF" there are such keys, then existing answers are quite appropriate (but I do suggest more precision in future questions if that's indeed what you mean;-).

Error: The 'brew link' step did not complete successfully

I completely uninstalled brew and started again, only to find the same problem again.

Brew appears to work by symlinking the required binaries into your system where other installation methods would typically copy the files.

I found an existing set of node libraries here:

/usr/local/include/node

After some head scratching I remembered installing node at the date against this old version and it hadn't been via brew.

I manually deleted this entire folder and successfully linked npm.

This would explain why using brew uninstall or even uninstall brew itself had no effect.

The highest ranked answer puts this very simply, but I thought I'd add my observations about why it's necessary.

I'm guessing a bunch of issues with other brew packages might be caused by old non-brew instances of packages being in the way.

Change the color of cells in one column when they don't match cells in another column

In my case I had to compare column E and I.

I used conditional formatting with new rule. Formula was "=IF($E1<>$I1,1,0)" for highlights in orange and "=IF($E1=$I1,1,0)" to highlight in green.

Next problem is how many columns you want to highlight. If you open Conditional Formatting Rules Manager you can edit for each rule domain of applicability: Check "Applies to"

In my case I used "=$E:$E,$I:$I" for both rules so I highlight only two columns for differences - column I and column E.

Meaning of @classmethod and @staticmethod for beginner?

A slightly different way to think about it that might be useful for someone... A class method is used in a superclass to define how that method should behave when it's called by different child classes. A static method is used when we want to return the same thing regardless of the child class that we are calling.

Transform char array into String

I have search it again and search this question in baidu. Then I find 2 ways:

1,

_x000D_
_x000D_
char ch[]={'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','\0'};_x000D_
string s=ch;_x000D_
cout<<s;
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Be aware to that '\0' is necessary for char array ch.

2,

_x000D_
_x000D_
#include<iostream>_x000D_
#include<string>_x000D_
#include<strstream>_x000D_
using namespace std;_x000D_
_x000D_
int main()_x000D_
{_x000D_
 char ch[]={'a','b','g','e','d','\0'};_x000D_
 strstream s;_x000D_
 s<<ch;_x000D_
 string str1;_x000D_
 s>>str1;_x000D_
 cout<<str1<<endl;_x000D_
 return 0;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In this way, you also need to add the '\0' at the end of char array.

Also, strstream.h file will be abandoned and be replaced by stringstream

Adding a rule in iptables in debian to open a new port

(I presume that you've concluded that it's an iptables problem by dropping the firewall completely (iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT; iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT; iptables -F) and confirmed that you can connect to the MySQL server from your Windows box?)

Some previous rule in the INPUT table is probably rejecting or dropping the packet. You can get around that by inserting the new rule at the top, although you might want to review your existing rules to see whether that's sensible:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT

Note that iptables-save won't save the new rule persistently (i.e. across reboots) - you'll need to figure out something else for that. My usual route is to store the iptables-save output in a file (/etc/network/iptables.rules or similar) and then load then with a pre-up statement in /etc/network/interfaces).

Windows 7 SDK installation failure

Microsoft now has a knowledge base article called Windows SDK Fails to Install with Return Code 5100 that describes this problem and its fix:

This issue occurs when you install the Windows 7 SDK on a computer that has a newer version of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed. The Windows 7 SDK installs version 10.0.30319 of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.

The error message is located in the log file, which can be opened through the View Log button in the installer. Otherwise, it can be found here: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\ or %temp%. The log file is most likely called SDKSetup_7.xxxxx.log.

Solution: Uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributable.

I just had this problem, and I looked at the solution at Ctrl+F5, Fix Problem Installing Windows SDK for Windows 7, but it didn't work.

I googled around and found the page Installing Visual C++ 2010 and Windows SDK for Windows 7: offline installer and installation troubleshooting and the advice there worked. Basically you could have one of several problems, and you have to look in the log file to see what's going on. In my log file I had:

6:17:07 PM Saturday, October 01, 2011: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 5100

so as that above web page suggested, I uninstalled both copies of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package that I had (both x86 and x64), and then when I ran the Windows 7 SDK installer again, it worked.

Although you might have a different problem than me. Try the solutions at the Ctrl+F5 and patheticcockroach.com websites that I linked.

I hoped this helped!

Complex CSS selector for parent of active child

Late to the party again but for what it's worth it is possible using jQuery to be a little more succinct. In my case I needed to find the <ul> parent tag for a <span> tag contained in the child <li>. jQuery has the :has selector so it's possible to identify a parent by the children it contains (updated per @Afrowave's comment ref: https://api.jquery.com/has-selector/):

$("ul").has("#someId")

will select the ul element that has a child element with id someId. Or to answer the original question, something like the following should do the trick (untested):

$("li").has(".active")

Set Jackson Timezone for Date deserialization

In Jackson 2+, you can also use the @JsonFormat annotation :

@JsonFormat(shape=JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ", timezone="America/Phoenix")
private Date date;

Change the name of a key in dictionary

I wrote this function below where you can change the name of a current key name to a new one.

def change_dictionary_key_name(dict_object, old_name, new_name):
    '''
    [PARAMETERS]: 
        dict_object (dict): The object of the dictionary to perform the change
        old_name (string): The original name of the key to be changed
        new_name (string): The new name of the key
    [RETURNS]:
        final_obj: The dictionary with the updated key names
    Take the dictionary and convert its keys to a list.
    Update the list with the new value and then convert the list of the new keys to 
    a new dictionary
    '''
    keys_list = list(dict_object.keys())
    for i in range(len(keys_list)):
        if (keys_list[i] == old_name):
            keys_list[i] = new_name

    final_obj = dict(zip(keys_list, list(dict_object.values()))) 
    return final_obj

Assuming a JSON you can call it and rename it by the following line:

data = json.load(json_file)
for item in data:
    item = change_dictionary_key_name(item, old_key_name, new_key_name)

2 ways for "ClearContents" on VBA Excel, but 1 work fine. Why?

For numerical addressing of cells try to enable S1O1 checkbox in MS Excel settings. It is the second tab from top (i.e. Formulas), somewhere mid-page in my Hungarian version.

If enabled, it handles VBA addressing in both styles, i.e. Range("A1:B10") and Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 2)). I assume it handles Range("A1:B10") style only, if not enabled.

Good luck!

(Note, that Range("A1:B10") represents a 2x10 square, while Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 2)) represents 10x2. Using column numbers instead of letters will not affect the order of addresing.)

How long will my session last?

If session.cookie_lifetime is 0, the session cookie lives until the browser is quit.

EDIT: Others have mentioned the session.gc_maxlifetime setting. When session garbage collection occurs, the garbage collector will delete any session data that has not been accessed in longer than session.gc_maxlifetime seconds. To set the time-to-live for the session cookie, call session_set_cookie_params() or define the session.cookie_lifetime PHP setting. If this setting is greater than session.gc_maxlifetime, you should increase session.gc_maxlifetime to a value greater than or equal to the cookie lifetime to ensure that your sessions won't expire.

How to change the background color on a Java panel?

I think what he is trying to say is to use the getContentPane().setBackground(Color.the_Color_you_want_here)

Eg:

jPanel.setbackground(Color.BLUE)

How can I check if char* variable points to empty string?

Check the pointer for NULL and then using strlen to see if it returns 0.
NULL check is important because passing NULL pointer to strlen invokes an Undefined Behavior.

console.log timestamps in Chrome?

ES6 solution:

const timestamp = () => `[${new Date().toUTCString()}]`

where timestamp() returns actually formatted timestamp and log add a timestamp and propagates all own arguments to console.log

MySQL LIMIT on DELETE statement

First I struggled a bit with a DELETE FROM ... USING ... WHERE query,... Since i wanted to test first so i tried with SELECT FROM ... USING... WHERE ... and this caused an error , ... Then i wanted to reduce the number of deletions adding
LIMIT 10 which also produced an error Then i removed the "LIMIT" and - hurray - it worked: "1867 rows deleted. (Query took 1.3025 seconds.)"

The query was:

DELETE FROM tableX 
USING tableX , tableX as Dup 
WHERE NOT tableX .id = Dup.id 
 AND tableX .id > Dup.id 
 AND tableX .email= Dup.email 
 AND tableX .mobil = Dup.mobil

This worked.

Add onclick event to newly added element in JavaScript

You have three different problems. First of all, values in HTML tags should be quoted! Not doing this can confuse the browser, and may cause some troubles (although it is likely not the case here). Second, you should actually assign a function to the onclick variable, as someone else meantioned. Not only is this the proper way to do it going forward, but it makes things much simpler if you are trying to use local variables in the onclick function. Finally, you can try either addEventListener or jQuery, jQuery has the advantage of a nicer interface.

Oh, and make sure your HTML validates! That could be an issue.

How can I make all images of different height and width the same via CSS?

can i just throw in that if you distort your images too much, ie take them out of a ratio, they may not look right, - a tiny amount is fine, but one way to do this is put the images inside a 'container' and set the container to the 100 x 100, then set your image to overflow none, and set the smallest width to the maximum width of the container, this will crop a bit of your image though,

for example

<h4>Products</h4>
<ul class="products">
    <li class="crop">
        <img src="ipod.jpg" alt="iPod" />
    </li>
</ul>



.crop {
 height: 300px;
 width: 400px;
 overflow: hidden;
}
.crop img {
 height: auto;
 width: 400px;
}

This way the image will stay the size of its container, but will resize without breaking constraints

Multidimensional Lists in C#

It's old but thought I'd add my two cents... Not sure if it will work but try using a KeyValuePair:

 List<KeyValuePair<?, ?>> LinkList = new List<KeyValuePair<?, ?>>();
 LinkList.Add(new KeyValuePair<?, ?>(Object, Object));

You'll end up with something like this:

 LinkList[0] = <Object, Object>
 LinkList[1] = <Object, Object>
 LinkList[2] = <Object, Object>

and so on...

Where do I find old versions of Android NDK?

Simply replacing .bin with .tar.bz2 is not enough, for NDK releases older than 10b. For example, https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10b-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 is not a valid link.

Turned out that the correct link for 10b was: https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk32-r10b-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 (note the additional '32'). However, this doesn't seem to apply to e.g. 10a, as this link doesn't work: https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk32-r10a-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 .

Bottom line: use http://web.archive.org until Google fixes this, if ever...

Is there an easy way to return a string repeated X number of times?

If you're using .NET 4.0, you could use string.Concat together with Enumerable.Repeat.

int N = 5; // or whatever
Console.WriteLine(string.Concat(Enumerable.Repeat(indent, N)));

Otherwise I'd go with something like Adam's answer.

The reason I generally wouldn't advise using Andrey's answer is simply that the ToArray() call introduces superfluous overhead that is avoided with the StringBuilder approach suggested by Adam. That said, at least it works without requiring .NET 4.0; and it's quick and easy (and isn't going to kill you if efficiency isn't too much of a concern).

Convert list to dictionary using linq and not worrying about duplicates

        DataTable DT = new DataTable();

        DT.Columns.Add("second", typeof(string));

        DT.Rows.Add("ss", "test1");
        DT.Rows.Add("sss", "test2");
        DT.Rows.Add("sys", "test3");
        DT.Rows.Add("ss", "test4");
        DT.Rows.Add("ss", "test5");
        DT.Rows.Add("sts", "test6");

        var dr = DT.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(S => S.Field<string>("first")).Select(S => S.First()).
            Select(S => new KeyValuePair<string, string>(S.Field<string>("first"), S.Field<string>("second"))).
           ToDictionary(S => S.Key, T => T.Value);

        foreach (var item in dr)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(item.Key + "-" + item.Value);
        }

Change icon on click (toggle)

If your icon is based on the text in the block (ligatures) rather the class of the block then the following will work. This example uses the Google Material Icons '+' and '-' icons as part of MaterializeCSS.

<a class="btn-class"><i class="material-icons">add</i></a>

$('.btn-class').on('click',function(){
    if ($(this).find('i').text() == 'add'){
        $(this).find('i').text('remove');
    } else {
        $(this).find('i').text('add');
    }
});

Edit: Added missing ); needed for this to function properly.

It also works for JQuery post 1.9 where toggling of functions was deprecated.

Is there a way to use SVG as content in a pseudo element :before or :after

To extend further this topic. In case you want to add Font Awesome 5 icons you need to add some extra CSS.

Icons by default have classes svg-inline--fa and fa-w-*.

There are also modifier classes like fa-lg, fa-rotate-* and other. You need to check svg-with-js.css file and find proper CSS for that.

You need to add your own color to css icon otherwise it will be black by default, for example fill='%23f00' where %23 is encoded #.

Difference between return and exit in Bash functions

From man bash on return [n];

Causes a function to stop executing and return the value specified by n to its caller. If n is omitted, the return status is that of the last command executed in the function body.

... on exit [n]:

Cause the shell to exit with a status of n. If n is omitted, the exit status is that of the last command executed. A trap on EXIT is executed before the shell terminates.

EDIT:

As per your edit of the question, regarding exit codes, return has nothing to do with exit codes. Exit codes are intended for applications/scripts, not functions. So in this regard, the only keyword that sets the exit code of the script (the one that can be caught by the calling program using the $? shell variable) is exit.

EDIT 2:

My last statement referring exit is causing some comments. It was made to differentiate return and exit for the understanding of the OP, and in fact, at any given point of a program/shell script, exit is the only way of ending the script with an exit code to the calling process.

Every command executed in the shell produces a local "exit code": it sets the $? variable to that code, and can be used with if, && and other operators to conditionally execute other commands.

These exit codes (and the value of the $? variable) are reset by each command execution.

Incidentally, the exit code of the last command executed by the script is used as the exit code of the script itself as seen by the calling process.

Finally, functions, when called, act as shell commands with respect to exit codes. The exit code of the function (within the function) is set by using return. So when in a function return 0 is run, the function execution terminates, giving an exit code of 0.

How to loop through all the properties of a class?

Reflection is pretty "heavy"

Perhaps try this solution:

C#

if (item is IEnumerable) {
    foreach (object o in item as IEnumerable) {
            //do function
    }
} else {
    foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo p in obj.GetType().GetProperties())      {
        if (p.CanRead) {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", p.Name, p.GetValue(obj,  null)); //possible function
        }
    }
}

VB.Net

  If TypeOf item Is IEnumerable Then

    For Each o As Object In TryCast(item, IEnumerable)
               'Do Function
     Next
  Else
    For Each p As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo In obj.GetType().GetProperties()
         If p.CanRead Then
               Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", p.Name, p.GetValue(obj, Nothing))  'possible function
          End If
      Next
  End If

Webpack.config how to just copy the index.html to the dist folder

Option 1

In your index.js file (i.e. webpack entry) add a require to your index.html via file-loader plugin, e.g.:

require('file-loader?name=[name].[ext]!../index.html');

Once you build your project with webpack, index.html will be in the output folder.

Option 2

Use html-webpack-plugin to avoid having an index.html at all. Simply have webpack generate the file for you.

In this case if you want to keep your own index.html file as template, you may use this configuration:

{
  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: 'src/index.html'
    })
  ]
}

See the docs for more information.

Vagrant shared and synced folders

shared folders VS synced folders

Basically shared folders are renamed to synced folder from v1 to v2 (docs), under the bonnet it is still using vboxsf between host and guest (there is known performance issues if there are large numbers of files/directories).

Vagrantfile directory mounted as /vagrant in guest

Vagrant is mounting the current working directory (where Vagrantfile resides) as /vagrant in the guest, this is the default behaviour.

See docs

NOTE: By default, Vagrant will share your project directory (the directory with the Vagrantfile) to /vagrant.

You can disable this behaviour by adding cfg.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true in your Vagrantfile.

Why synced folder is not working

Based on the output /tmp on host was NOT mounted during up time.

Use VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant up or VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant reload to start the VM for more output regarding why the synced folder is not mounted. Could be a permission issue (mode bits of /tmp on host should be drwxrwxrwt).

I did a test quick test using the following and it worked (I used opscode bento raring vagrant base box)

config.vm.synced_folder "/tmp", "/tmp/src"

output

$ vagrant reload
[default] Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
[default] Setting the name of the VM...

Within the VM, you can see the mount info /tmp/src on /tmp/src type vboxsf (uid=900,gid=900,rw).

Set encoding and fileencoding to utf-8 in Vim

TL;DR

In the first case with set encoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding that is shown in the terminal.

In the second case with set fileencoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding of the file that is written.

As stated by @Dennis, you can set them both in your ~/.vimrc if you always want to work in utf-8.

More details

From the wiki of VIM about working with unicode

"encoding sets how vim shall represent characters internally. Utf-8 is necessary for most flavors of Unicode."

"fileencoding sets the encoding for a particular file (local to buffer); :setglobal sets the default value. An empty value can also be used: it defaults to same as 'encoding'. Or you may want to set one of the ucs encodings, It might make the same disk file bigger or smaller depending on your particular mix of characters. Also, IIUC, utf-8 is always big-endian (high bit first) while ucs can be big-endian or little-endian, so if you use it, you will probably need to set 'bomb" (see below)."

Generate an integer sequence in MySQL

Warning: if you insert numbers one row at a time, you'll end up executing N commands where N is the number of rows you need to insert.

You can get this down to O(log N) by using a temporary table (see below for inserting numbers from 10000 to 10699):

mysql> CREATE TABLE `tmp_keys` (`k` INTEGER UNSIGNED, PRIMARY KEY (`k`));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` VALUES (0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7);
Query OK, 8 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 8  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+8 from `tmp_keys`;
Query OK, 8 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 8  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+16 from `tmp_keys`;
Query OK, 16 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 16  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+32 from `tmp_keys`;
Query OK, 32 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 32  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+64 from `tmp_keys`;

Records: 128  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+256 from `tmp_keys`;
Query OK, 256 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 256  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO `tmp_keys` SELECT k+512 from `tmp_keys`;
Query OK, 512 rows affected (0.11 sec)
Records: 512  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> INSERT INTO inttable SELECT k+10000 FROM `tmp_keys` WHERE k<700;
Query OK, 700 rows affected (0.16 sec)
Records: 700  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

edit: fyi, unfortunately this won't work with a true temporary table with MySQL 5.0 as it can't insert into itself (you could bounce back and forth between two temporary tables).

edit: You could use a MEMORY storage engine to prevent this from actually being a drain on the "real" database. I wonder if someone has developed a "NUMBERS" virtual storage engine to instantiate virtual storage to create sequences such as this. (alas, nonportable outside MySQL)

Randomize a List<T>

Your question is how to randomize a list. This means:

  1. All unique combinations should be possible of happening
  2. All unique combinations should occur with the same distribution (AKA being non-biased).

A large number of the answers posted for this question do NOT satisfy the two requirements above for being "random".

Here's a compact, non-biased pseudo-random function following the Fisher-Yates shuffle method.

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list, Random rnd)
{
    for (var i = list.Count-1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        var randomIndex = rnd.Next(i + 1); //maxValue (i + 1) is EXCLUSIVE
        list.Swap(i, randomIndex); 
    }
}

public static void Swap<T>(this IList<T> list, int indexA, int indexB)
{
   var temp = list[indexA];
   list[indexA] = list[indexB];
   list[indexB] = temp;
}

How to Convert UTC Date To Local time Zone in MySql Select Query

SELECT CONVERT_TZ() will work for that.but its not working for me.

Why, what error do you get?

SELECT CONVERT_TZ(displaytime,'GMT','MET');

should work if your column type is timestamp, or date

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_convert-tz

Test how this works:

SELECT CONVERT_TZ(a_ad_display.displaytime,'+00:00','+04:00');

Check your timezone-table

SELECT * FROM mysql.time_zone;
SELECT * FROM mysql.time_zone_name;

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/time-zone-support.html

If those tables are empty, you have not initialized your timezone tables. According to link above you can use mysql_tzinfo_to_sql program to load the Time Zone Tables. Please try this

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo

or if not working read more: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-tzinfo-to-sql.html

how does array[100] = {0} set the entire array to 0?

It's not magic.

The behavior of this code in C is described in section 6.7.8.21 of the C specification (online draft of C spec): for the elements that don't have a specified value, the compiler initializes pointers to NULL and arithmetic types to zero (and recursively applies this to aggregates).

The behavior of this code in C++ is described in section 8.5.1.7 of the C++ specification (online draft of C++ spec): the compiler aggregate-initializes the elements that don't have a specified value.

Also, note that in C++ (but not C), you can use an empty initializer list, causing the compiler to aggregate-initialize all of the elements of the array:

char array[100] = {};

As for what sort of code the compiler might generate when you do this, take a look at this question: Strange assembly from array 0-initialization

How to use document.getElementByName and getElementByTag?

If you have given same text name for both of your Id and Name properties you can give like document.getElementByName('frmMain')[index] other wise object required error will come.And if you have only one table in your page you can use document.getElementBytag('table')[index].

EDIT:

You can replace the index according to your form, if its first form place 0 for index.

How can I replace every occurrence of a String in a file with PowerShell?

This worked for me using the current working directory in PowerShell. You need to use the FullName property, or it won't work in PowerShell version 5. I needed to change the target .NET framework version in ALL my CSPROJ files.

gci -Recurse -Filter *.csproj |
% { (get-content "$($_.FullName)")
.Replace('<TargetFramework>net47</TargetFramework>', '<TargetFramework>net462</TargetFramework>') |
 Set-Content "$($_.FullName)"}

Disable copy constructor

If you don't mind multiple inheritance (it is not that bad, after all), you may write simple class with private copy constructor and assignment operator and additionally subclass it:

class NonAssignable {
private:
    NonAssignable(NonAssignable const&);
    NonAssignable& operator=(NonAssignable const&);
public:
    NonAssignable() {}
};

class SymbolIndexer: public Indexer, public NonAssignable {
};

For GCC this gives the following error message:

test.h: In copy constructor ‘SymbolIndexer::SymbolIndexer(const SymbolIndexer&)’:
test.h: error: ‘NonAssignable::NonAssignable(const NonAssignable&)’ is private

I'm not very sure for this to work in every compiler, though. There is a related question, but with no answer yet.

UPD:

In C++11 you may also write NonAssignable class as follows:

class NonAssignable {
public:
    NonAssignable(NonAssignable const&) = delete;
    NonAssignable& operator=(NonAssignable const&) = delete;
    NonAssignable() {}
};

The delete keyword prevents members from being default-constructed, so they cannot be used further in a derived class's default-constructed members. Trying to assign gives the following error in GCC:

test.cpp: error: use of deleted function
          ‘SymbolIndexer& SymbolIndexer::operator=(const SymbolIndexer&)’
test.cpp: note: ‘SymbolIndexer& SymbolIndexer::operator=(const SymbolIndexer&)’
          is implicitly deleted because the default definition would
          be ill-formed:

UPD:

Boost already has a class just for the same purpose, I guess it's even implemented in similar way. The class is called boost::noncopyable and is meant to be used as in the following:

#include <boost/core/noncopyable.hpp>

class SymbolIndexer: public Indexer, private boost::noncopyable {
};

I'd recommend sticking to the Boost's solution if your project policy allows it. See also another boost::noncopyable-related question for more information.

How to pass parameters to a modal?

To pass the parameter you need to use resolve and inject the items in controller

$scope.Edit = function (Id) {
   var modalInstance = $modal.open({
      templateUrl: '/app/views/admin/addeditphone.html',
      controller: 'EditCtrl',
      resolve: {
         editId: function () {
           return Id;
         }
       }
    });
}

Now if you will use like this:

app.controller('EditCtrl', ['$scope', '$location'
       , function ($scope, $location, editId)

in this case editId will be undefined. You need to inject it, like this:

app.controller('EditCtrl', ['$scope', '$location', 'editId'
     , function ($scope, $location, editId)

Now it will work smooth, I face the same problem many time, once injected, everything start working!

Java, Calculate the number of days between two dates

I'm really really REALLY new at Java, so i'm sure that there's an even better way to do what i'm proposing.

I had this same demand and i did it using the difference between the DAYOFYEAR of the two dates. It seemed an easier way to do it...

I can't really evaluate this solution in performance and stability terms, but i think it's ok.

here:

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {



//Made this part of the code just to create the variables i'll use.
//I'm in Brazil and the date format here is DD/MM/YYYY, but wont be an issue to you guys. 
//It will work anyway with your format.

    String s1 = "18/09/2014"; 
    String s2 = "01/01/2014";
    DateFormat f = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
    Date date1 = f.parse(s1); 
    Date date2 = f.parse(s2);




//Here's the part where we get the days between two dates.

    Calendar day1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar day2 = Calendar.getInstance(); 
    day1.setTime(date1);
    day2.setTime(date2);

    int daysBetween = day1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - day2.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);      




//Some code just to show the result...
    f = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
    System.out.println("There's " + daysBetween + " days between " + f.format(day1.getTime()) + " and " + f.format(day2.getTime()) + ".");



    }

In this case, the output would be (remembering that i'm using the Date Format DD/MM/YYYY):

There's 260 days between 18/09/2014 and 01/01/2014.

Team Build Error: The Path ... is already mapped to workspace

Here is what I did (well what I do):

Using TFS Sidekicks clear out the user and server filters so they are blank. This will let you get all workspaces.

Check the build error for the workspace name. In the OPs case it is BuildServer_23. It is different in my environment but basically just match up the error name with the one in the tfs sidekick list.

Click the red x to delete the workspace.

Viola!

Converting Date and Time To Unix Timestamp

Using a date picker to get date and a time picker I get two variables, this is how I put them together in unixtime format and then pull them out...

let datetime = oDdate+' '+oDtime;
let unixtime = Date.parse(datetime)/1000;
console.log('unixtime:',unixtime);

to prove it:

let milliseconds = unixtime * 1000;
dateObject = new Date(milliseconds);
console.log('dateObject:',dateObject);

enjoy!

What is the best Java QR code generator library?

I don't know what qualifies as best but zxing has a qr code generator for java, is actively developed, and is liberally licensed.

java Arrays.sort 2d array

It is really simple, there are just some syntax you have to keep in mind.

Arrays.sort(contests, (a, b) -> Integer.compare(a[0],b[0]));//increasing order ---1

Arrays.sort(contests, (b, a) -> Integer.compare(b[0],a[0]));//increasing order ---2

Arrays.sort(contests, (a, b) -> Integer.compare(b[0],a[0]));//decreasing order ---3

Arrays.sort(contests, (b, a) -> Integer.compare(a[0],b[0]));//decreasing order ---4

If you notice carefully, then it's the change in the order of 'a' and 'b' that affects the result. For line 1, the set is of (a,b) and Integer.compare(a[0],b[0]), so it is increasing order. Now if we change the order of a and b in any one of them, suppose the set of (a,b) and Integer.compare(b[0],a[0]) as in line 3, we get decreasing order.

std::vector versus std::array in C++

To emphasize a point made by @MatteoItalia, the efficiency difference is where the data is stored. Heap memory (required with vector) requires a call to the system to allocate memory and this can be expensive if you are counting cycles. Stack memory (possible for array) is virtually "zero-overhead" in terms of time, because the memory is allocated by just adjusting the stack pointer and it is done just once on entry to a function. The stack also avoids memory fragmentation. To be sure, std::array won't always be on the stack; it depends on where you allocate it, but it will still involve one less memory allocation from the heap compared to vector. If you have a

  • small "array" (under 100 elements say) - (a typical stack is about 8MB, so don't allocate more than a few KB on the stack or less if your code is recursive)
  • the size will be fixed
  • the lifetime is in the function scope (or is a member value with the same lifetime as the parent class)
  • you are counting cycles,

definitely use a std::array over a vector. If any of those requirements is not true, then use a std::vector.

How do I fix 'Invalid character value for cast specification' on a date column in flat file?

I was ultimately able to resolve the solution by setting the column type in the flat file connection to be of type "database date [DT_DBDATE]"

Apparently the differences between these date formats are as follow:

DT_DATE A date structure that consists of year, month, day, and hour.

DT_DBDATE A date structure that consists of year, month, and day.

DT_DBTIMESTAMP A timestamp structure that consists of year, month, hour, minute, second, and fraction

By changing the column type to DT_DBDATE the issue was resolved - I attached a Data Viewer and the CYCLE_DATE value was now simply "12/20/2010" without a time component, which apparently resolved the issue.

How can I create a text box for a note in markdown?

The simplest solution I've found to the exact same problem is to use a multiple line table with one row and no header (there is an image in the first column and the text in the second):

----------------------- ------------------------------------
![Tip](images/tip.png)\ Table multiline text bla bla bla bla
                        bla bla bla bla bla bla bla ... the
                        blank line below is important 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Another approach that might work (for PDF) is to use Latex default fbox directive :

 \fbox{My text!}

Or FancyBox module for more advanced features (and better looking boxes) : http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancybox.

Finding a branch point with Git?

If you like terse commands,

git rev-list $(git rev-list --first-parent ^branch_name master | tail -n1)^^! 

Here's an explanation.

The following command gives you the list of all commits in master that occurred after branch_name was created

git rev-list --first-parent ^branch_name master 

Since you only care about the earliest of those commits you want the last line of the output:

git rev-list ^branch_name --first-parent master | tail -n1

The parent of the earliest commit that's not an ancestor of "branch_name" is, by definition, in "branch_name," and is in "master" since it's an ancestor of something in "master." So you've got the earliest commit that's in both branches.

The command

git rev-list commit^^!

is just a way to show the parent commit reference. You could use

git log -1 commit^

or whatever.

PS: I disagree with the argument that ancestor order is irrelevant. It depends on what you want. For example, in this case

_C1___C2_______ master
  \    \_XXXXX_ branch A (the Xs denote arbitrary cross-overs between master and A)
   \_____/ branch B

it makes perfect sense to output C2 as the "branching" commit. This is when the developer branched out from "master." When he branched, branch "B" wasn't even merged in his branch! This is what the solution in this post gives.

If what you want is the last commit C such that all paths from origin to the last commit on branch "A" go through C, then you want to ignore ancestry order. That's purely topological and gives you an idea of since when you have two versions of the code going at the same time. That's when you'd go with merge-base based approaches, and it will return C1 in my example.

How to include files outside of Docker's build context?

If you read the discussion in the issue 2745 not only docker may never support symlinks they may never support adding files outside your context. Seems to be a design philosophy that files that go into docker build should explicitly be part of its context or be from a URL where it is presumably deployed too with a fixed version so that the build is repeatable with well known URLs or files shipped with the docker container.

I prefer to build from a version controlled source - ie docker build -t stuff http://my.git.org/repo - otherwise I'm building from some random place with random files.

fundamentally, no.... -- SvenDowideit, Docker Inc

Just my opinion but I think you should restructure to separate out the code and docker repositories. That way the containers can be generic and pull in any version of the code at run time rather than build time.

Alternatively, use docker as your fundamental code deployment artifact and then you put the dockerfile in the root of the code repository. if you go this route probably makes sense to have a parent docker container for more general system level details and a child container for setup specific to your code.

Set NA to 0 in R

To add to James's example, it seems you always have to create an intermediate when performing calculations on NA-containing data frames.

For instance, adding two columns (A and B) together from a data frame dfr:

temp.df <- data.frame(dfr) # copy the original
temp.df[is.na(temp.df)] <- 0
dfr$C <- temp.df$A + temp.df$B # or any other calculation
remove('temp.df')

When I do this I throw away the intermediate afterwards with remove/rm.

Is there a cross-browser onload event when clicking the back button?

What is the benefit of using "SET XACT_ABORT ON" in a stored procedure?

SET XACT_ABORT ON instructs SQL Server to rollback the entire transaction and abort the batch when a run-time error occurs. It covers you in cases like a command timeout occurring on the client application rather than within SQL Server itself (which isn't covered by the default XACT_ABORT OFF setting.)

Since a query timeout will leave the transaction open, SET XACT_ABORT ON is recommended in all stored procedures with explicit transactions (unless you have a specific reason to do otherwise) as the consequences of an application performing work on a connection with an open transaction are disastrous.

There's a really great overview on Dan Guzman's Blog,

Xcode 6.1 Missing required architecture X86_64 in file

  • The first thing you should make sure is that your static library has all architectures. When you do a lipo -info myStaticLibrary.a on terminal - you should see armv7 armv7s i386 x86_64 arm64 architectures for your fat binary.

  • To accomplish that, I am assuming that you're making a universal binary - add the following to your architecture settings of static library project -

enter image description here

  • So, you can see that I have to manually set the Standard architectures (including 64-bit) (armv7, armv7s, arm64) of the static library project.

enter image description here

  • Alternatively, since the normal $ARCHS_STANDARD now includes 64-bit. You can also do $(ARCHS_STANDARD) and armv7s. Check lipo -info without it, and you'll figure out the missing architectures. Here's the screenshot for all architectures -

enter image description here

  • For your reference implementation (project using static library). The default settings should work fine -

Update 12/03/14 Xcode 6 Standard architectures exclude armv7s.

So, armv7s is not needed? Yes. It seems that the general differences between armv7 and armv7s instruction sets are minor. So if you choose not to include armv7s, the targeted armv7 machine code still runs fine on 32 bit A6 devices, and hardly one will notice performance gap. Source

If there is a smarter way for Xcode 6.1+ (iOS 8.1 and above) - please share.

Declare a variable in DB2 SQL

I imagine this forum posting, which I quote fully below, should answer the question.


Inside a procedure, function, or trigger definition, or in a dynamic SQL statement (embedded in a host program):

BEGIN ATOMIC
 DECLARE example VARCHAR(15) ;
 SET example = 'welcome' ;
 SELECT *
 FROM   tablename
 WHERE  column1 = example ;
END

or (in any environment):

WITH t(example) AS (VALUES('welcome'))
SELECT *
FROM   tablename, t
WHERE  column1 = example

or (although this is probably not what you want, since the variable needs to be created just once, but can be used thereafter by everybody although its content will be private on a per-user basis):

CREATE VARIABLE example VARCHAR(15) ;
SET example = 'welcome' ;
SELECT *
FROM   tablename
WHERE  column1 = example ;

Iterating through a JSON object

This question has been out here a long time, but I wanted to contribute how I usually iterate through a JSON object. In the example below, I've shown a hard-coded string that contains the JSON, but the JSON string could just as easily have come from a web service or a file.

import json

def main():

    # create a simple JSON array
    jsonString = '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2","key3":"value3"}'

    # change the JSON string into a JSON object
    jsonObject = json.loads(jsonString)

    # print the keys and values
    for key in jsonObject:
        value = jsonObject[key]
        print("The key and value are ({}) = ({})".format(key, value))

    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Table column sizing

Another option is to apply flex styling at the table row, and add the col-classes to the table header / table data elements:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr class="d-flex">
      <th class="col-3">3 columns wide header</th>
      <th class="col-sm-5">5 columns wide header</th>
      <th class="col-sm-4">4 columns wide header</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr class="d-flex">
      <td class="col-3">3 columns wide content</th>
      <td class="col-sm-5">5 columns wide content</th>
      <td class="col-sm-4">4 columns wide content</th>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

How to bind list to dataGridView?

Use a BindingList and set the DataPropertyName-Property of the column.

Try the following:

...
private void BindGrid()
{
    gvFilesOnServer.AutoGenerateColumns = false;

    //create the column programatically
    DataGridViewCell cell = new DataGridViewTextBoxCell();
    DataGridViewTextBoxColumn colFileName = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn()
    {
        CellTemplate = cell, 
        Name = "Value",
        HeaderText = "File Name",
        DataPropertyName = "Value" // Tell the column which property of FileName it should use
     };

    gvFilesOnServer.Columns.Add(colFileName);

    var filelist = GetFileListOnWebServer().ToList();
    var filenamesList = new BindingList<FileName>(filelist); // <-- BindingList

    //Bind BindingList directly to the DataGrid, no need of BindingSource
    gvFilesOnServer.DataSource = filenamesList 
}

How can I rollback an UPDATE query in SQL server 2005?

You can rollback the statements you've executed within a transaction. Instead of commiting the transaction, rollback the transaction.

If you have updated something and want to rollback those updates, and you haven't done this inside a (not-yet-commited) transaction, then I think it's though luck ...

(Manually repair, or, restore backups)

How do you sign a Certificate Signing Request with your Certification Authority?

1. Using the x509 module
openssl x509 ...
...

2 Using the ca module
openssl ca ...
...

You are missing the prelude to those commands.

This is a two-step process. First you set up your CA, and then you sign an end entity certificate (a.k.a server or user). Both of the two commands elide the two steps into one. And both assume you have a an OpenSSL configuration file already setup for both CAs and Server (end entity) certificates.


First, create a basic configuration file:

$ touch openssl-ca.cnf

Then, add the following to it:

HOME            = .
RANDFILE        = $ENV::HOME/.rnd

####################################################################
[ ca ]
default_ca    = CA_default      # The default ca section

[ CA_default ]

default_days     = 1000         # How long to certify for
default_crl_days = 30           # How long before next CRL
default_md       = sha256       # Use public key default MD
preserve         = no           # Keep passed DN ordering

x509_extensions = ca_extensions # The extensions to add to the cert

email_in_dn     = no            # Don't concat the email in the DN
copy_extensions = copy          # Required to copy SANs from CSR to cert

####################################################################
[ req ]
default_bits       = 4096
default_keyfile    = cakey.pem
distinguished_name = ca_distinguished_name
x509_extensions    = ca_extensions
string_mask        = utf8only

####################################################################
[ ca_distinguished_name ]
countryName         = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default = US

stateOrProvinceName         = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = Maryland

localityName                = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default        = Baltimore

organizationName            = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default    = Test CA, Limited

organizationalUnitName         = Organizational Unit (eg, division)
organizationalUnitName_default = Server Research Department

commonName         = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default = Test CA

emailAddress         = Email Address
emailAddress_default = [email protected]

####################################################################
[ ca_extensions ]

subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always, issuer
basicConstraints       = critical, CA:true
keyUsage               = keyCertSign, cRLSign

The fields above are taken from a more complex openssl.cnf (you can find it in /usr/lib/openssl.cnf), but I think they are the essentials for creating the CA certificate and private key.

Tweak the fields above to suit your taste. The defaults save you the time from entering the same information while experimenting with configuration file and command options.

I omitted the CRL-relevant stuff, but your CA operations should have them. See openssl.cnf and the related crl_ext section.

Then, execute the following. The -nodes omits the password or passphrase so you can examine the certificate. It's a really bad idea to omit the password or passphrase.

$ openssl req -x509 -config openssl-ca.cnf -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -nodes -out cacert.pem -outform PEM

After the command executes, cacert.pem will be your certificate for CA operations, and cakey.pem will be the private key. Recall the private key does not have a password or passphrase.

You can dump the certificate with the following.

$ openssl x509 -in cacert.pem -text -noout

For part two, I'm going to create another configuration file that's easily digestible. First, touch the openssl-server.cnf (you can make one of these for user certificates also).

$ touch openssl-server.cnf

Then open it, and add the following.

HOME            = .
RANDFILE        = $ENV::HOME/.rnd

####################################################################
[ req ]
default_bits       = 2048
default_keyfile    = serverkey.pem
distinguished_name = server_distinguished_name

string_mask        = utf8only

####################################################################
[ server_distinguished_name ]
countryName         = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default = US

stateOrProvinceName         = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = MD

localityName         = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default = Baltimore

organizationName            = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default    = Test Server, Limited

commonName           = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default   = Test Server

emailAddress         = Email Address
emailAddress_default = [email protected]

####################################################################
[ server_req_extensions ]

subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
basicConstraints     = CA:FALSE
keyUsage             = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
subjectAltName       = @alternate_names
nsComment            = "OpenSSL Generated Certificate"

####################################################################
[ alternate_names ]

DNS.2  = www.example.com
DNS.3  = mail.example.com
DNS.4  = ftp.example.com

If you are developing and need to use your workstation as a server, then you may need to do the following for Chrome. Otherwise Chrome may complain a Common Name is invalid (ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID). I'm not sure what the relationship is between an IP address in the SAN and a CN in this instance.

# IPv4 localhost
IP.1     = 127.0.0.1

# IPv6 localhost
IP.2     = ::1

Then, create the server certificate request. Be sure to omit -x509*. Adding -x509 will create a certificate, and not a request.

$ openssl req -config openssl-server.cnf -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -nodes -out servercert.csr -outform PEM

After this command executes, you will have a request in servercert.csr and a private key in serverkey.pem.

And you can inspect it again.

$ openssl req -text -noout -verify -in servercert.csr

Next, you have to sign it with your CA.


You are almost ready to sign the server's certificate by your CA. The CA's openssl-ca.cnf needs two more sections before issuing the command.

First, open openssl-ca.cnf and add the following two sections.

####################################################################
[ signing_policy ]
countryName            = optional
stateOrProvinceName    = optional
localityName           = optional
organizationName       = optional
organizationalUnitName = optional
commonName             = supplied
emailAddress           = optional

####################################################################
[ signing_req ]
subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid,issuer
basicConstraints       = CA:FALSE
keyUsage               = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment

Second, add the following to the [ CA_default ] section of openssl-ca.cnf. I left them out earlier, because they can complicate things (they were unused at the time). Now you'll see how they are used, so hopefully they will make sense.

base_dir      = .
certificate   = $base_dir/cacert.pem   # The CA certifcate
private_key   = $base_dir/cakey.pem    # The CA private key
new_certs_dir = $base_dir              # Location for new certs after signing
database      = $base_dir/index.txt    # Database index file
serial        = $base_dir/serial.txt   # The current serial number

unique_subject = no  # Set to 'no' to allow creation of
                     # several certificates with same subject.

Third, touch index.txt and serial.txt:

$ touch index.txt
$ echo '01' > serial.txt

Then, perform the following:

$ openssl ca -config openssl-ca.cnf -policy signing_policy -extensions signing_req -out servercert.pem -infiles servercert.csr

You should see similar to the following:

Using configuration from openssl-ca.cnf
Check that the request matches the signature
Signature ok
The Subject's Distinguished Name is as follows
countryName           :PRINTABLE:'US'
stateOrProvinceName   :ASN.1 12:'MD'
localityName          :ASN.1 12:'Baltimore'
commonName            :ASN.1 12:'Test CA'
emailAddress          :IA5STRING:'[email protected]'
Certificate is to be certified until Oct 20 16:12:39 2016 GMT (1000 days)
Sign the certificate? [y/n]:Y

1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit? [y/n]Y
Write out database with 1 new entries
Data Base Updated

After the command executes, you will have a freshly minted server certificate in servercert.pem. The private key was created earlier and is available in serverkey.pem.

Finally, you can inspect your freshly minted certificate with the following:

$ openssl x509 -in servercert.pem -text -noout

Earlier, you added the following to CA_default: copy_extensions = copy. This copies extension provided by the person making the request.

If you omit copy_extensions = copy, then your server certificate will lack the Subject Alternate Names (SANs) like www.example.com and mail.example.com.

If you use copy_extensions = copy, but don't look over the request, then the requester might be able to trick you into signing something like a subordinate root (rather than a server or user certificate). Which means he/she will be able to mint certificates that chain back to your trusted root. Be sure to verify the request with openssl req -verify before signing.


If you omit unique_subject or set it to yes, then you will only be allowed to create one certificate under the subject's distinguished name.

unique_subject = yes            # Set to 'no' to allow creation of
                                # several ctificates with same subject.

Trying to create a second certificate while experimenting will result in the following when signing your server's certificate with the CA's private key:

Sign the certificate? [y/n]:Y
failed to update database
TXT_DB error number 2

So unique_subject = no is perfect for testing.


If you want to ensure the Organizational Name is consistent between self-signed CAs, Subordinate CA and End-Entity certificates, then add the following to your CA configuration files:

[ policy_match ]
organizationName = match

If you want to allow the Organizational Name to change, then use:

[ policy_match ]
organizationName = supplied

There are other rules concerning the handling of DNS names in X.509/PKIX certificates. Refer to these documents for the rules:

RFC 6797 and RFC 7469 are listed, because they are more restrictive than the other RFCs and CA/B documents. RFC's 6797 and 7469 do not allow an IP address, either.
