        <StackPanel Name="stackPanel1" Width="311">

        </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.TextChanged += new TextChangedEventHandler(TextBox_TextChanged);
stackPanel1.Children.Add(tb);

How to center canvas in html5

The above answers only work if your canvas is the same width as the container.

This works regardless:

_x000D_

#container {_x000D_
  width: 100px;_x000D_
  height:100px;_x000D_
  border: 1px solid red;_x000D_
  _x000D_
  _x000D_
  margin: 0px auto;_x000D_
  text-align: center;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#canvas {_x000D_
  border: 1px solid blue;_x000D_
  width: 50px;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
  _x000D_
}

_x000D_

<div id="container">_x000D_
  <canvas id="canvas" width="100" height="100"></canvas>_x000D_
</div>

How to tag an older commit in Git?

The answer by @Phrogz is great, but doesn't work on Windows. Here's how to tag an old commit with the commit's original date using Powershell:

git checkout 9fceb02
$env:GIT_COMMITTER_DATE = git show --format=%aD | Select -First 1
git tag v1.2
git checkout master

what does mysql_real_escape_string() really do?

The mysql_real_escape_string() helps you escape special characters such as single quote etc that users may submit to your script. You need to escape such characters because that comes in handy when you want to avoid SQL Injection.

I would sugggest you to check out:

mysql_real_escape_string() versus Prepared Statements

To be on much safer side, you need to go for Prepared Statements instead as demonstrated through above article.

Why am I suddenly getting a "Blocked loading mixed active content" issue in Firefox?

In absence of a white-list feature you have to make the "all" or "nothing" Choice. You can disable mixed content blocking completely.

The Nothing Choice

You will need to permanently disable mixed content blocking for the current active profile.

In the "Awesome Bar," type "about:config". If this is your first time you will get the "This might void your warranty!" message.

Yes you will be careful. Yes you promise!

Find security.mixed_content.block_active_content. Set its value to false.

The All Choice

iDevelApp's answer is awesome.

Padding In bootstrap

There are padding built into various classes.

For example:

A asp.net web forms app:

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkShowDeletedServers" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Text="Show Deleted" />

this code above would place the Text of "Show Deleted" too close to the checkbox to what I see at nice to look at.

However with bootstrap

<div class="checkbox-inline">
    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkShowDeletedServers" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Text="Show Deleted" />
</div>

This created the space, if you don't want the text bold, that class=checkbox

Bootstrap is very flexible, so in this case I don't need a hack, but sometimes you need to.

SQL Server, division returns zero

When you use only integers in a division, you will get integer division. When you use (at least one) double or float, you will get floating point division (and the answer you want to get).

So you can

declare one or both of the variables as float/double
cast one or both of the variables to float/double.

Do not just cast the result of the integer division to double: the division was already performed as integer division, so the numbers behind the decimal are already lost.

Letter Count on a string

Your return is in your for loop! Be careful with indentation, you want the line return count to be outside the loop. Because the for loop goes through all characters in word, the outer while loop is completely unneeded.

A cleaned-up version:

def count_letters(word, to_find):
    count = 0
    for char in word:
        if char == to_find:
            count += 1
    return count

what is this value means 1.845E-07 in excel?

Highlight the cells, format cells, select Custom then select zero.

reducing number of plot ticks

in case somebody still needs it, and since nothing here really worked for me, i came up with a very simple way that keeps the appearance of the generated plot "as is" while fixing the number of ticks to exactly N:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(range(100))

ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim()
ax.set_yticks(np.round(np.linspace(ymin, ymax, N), 2))

How to add text to JFrame?

HTML formatting can be used to cause word wrap in any Swing component that offers styled text. E.G. as demonstrated in this answer.

Question mark and colon in JavaScript

This is probably a bit clearer when written with brackets as follows:

hsb.s = (max != 0) ? (255 * delta / max) : 0;

What it does is evaluate the part in the first brackets. If the result is true then the part after the ? and before the : is returned. If it is false, then what follows the : is returned.

Adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin header response in Laravel 5.3 Passport

If for some reason it's still not working. First option for Laravel The second option for any application

FIRST OPTION:

As in the example above, we create middleware
```
 php artisan make:middleware Cors
```

Add the following code to app/Http/Middleware/Cors.php:

 public function handle($request, Closure $next) 
 {
     return $next($request)
         ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
         ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS')
         ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Authorization,Accept,Origin,DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Content-Range,Range'); 
 }

Look closely, the amount of data in the header ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers',

Step three, add middleware to $routeMiddleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php

 protected $routeMiddleware = [
     ....
     'cors' => \App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,
 ];

SECOND OPTION:

Open the nginx.conf settings for your domain.

 sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your-domain.conf

Inside the server settings server { listen 80; .... } please add the following code:

 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Authorization,Accept,Origin,DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Content-Range,Range';
 add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET,POST,OPTIONS,PUT,DELETE,PATCH';

Converting a view to Bitmap without displaying it in Android?

Hope this helps

View view="some view instance";        
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap=view.getDrawingCache();
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);

Update
getDrawingCache() method is deprecated in API level 28. So look for other alternative for API level > 28.

Replace non-numeric with empty string

try this

public static string cleanPhone(string inVal)
        {
            char[] newPhon = new char[inVal.Length];
            int i = 0;
            foreach (char c in inVal)
                if (c.CompareTo('0') > 0 && c.CompareTo('9') < 0)
                    newPhon[i++] = c;
            return newPhon.ToString();
        }

The type is defined in an assembly that is not referenced, how to find the cause?

In my case, I was referencing a library that was being built to the wrong Platform/Configuration (I had just created the referenced library).

Furthermore, I was unable to fix the problem in Visual Studio Configuration Manager -- unable to switch and create new Platforms and Configurations for this library. I fixed it by correcting the entries in the ProjectConfigurationPlatforms section of the .sln file for that project. All its permutations were set to Debug|Any CPU (I'm not sure how I did that). I overwrote the entries for the broken project with the ones for a working project and changed the GUID for each entry.

Entries for functioning project

{9E93345C-7A51-4E9A-ACB0-DAAB8F1A1267}.Release|x64.ActiveCfg = Release|x64 {9E93345C-7A51-4E9A-ACB0-DAAB8F1A1267}.Release|x64.Build.0 = Release|x64

Entries for corrupted project

{94562215-903C-47F3-BF64-8B90EF43FD27}.Release|x64.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU {94562215-903C-47F3-BF64-8B90EF43FD27}.Release|x64.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU

Corrupted entries now fixed

{94562215-903C-47F3-BF64-8B90EF43FD27}.Release|x64.ActiveCfg = Release|x64 {94562215-903C-47F3-BF64-8B90EF43FD27}.Release|x64.Build.0 = Release|x64

I hope this helps someone.

How to use andWhere and orWhere in Doctrine?

Here's an example for those who have more complicated conditions and using Doctrine 2.* with QueryBuilder:

$qb->where('o.foo = 1')
   ->andWhere($qb->expr()->orX(
      $qb->expr()->eq('o.bar', 1),
      $qb->expr()->eq('o.bar', 2)
   ))
  ;

Those are expressions mentioned in Czechnology answer.

JavaScript error (Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input)

In Java, what purpose do the keywords `final`, `finally` and `finalize` fulfil?

The final keyword is used to declare constants.

final int FILE_TYPE = 3;

The finally keyword is used in a try catch statement to specify a block of code to execute regardless of thrown exceptions.

try
{
  //stuff
}
catch(Exception e)
{
  //do stuff
}
finally
{
  //this is always run
}

And finally (haha), finalize im not entirely sure is a keyword, but there is a finalize() function in the Object class.

Check if a PHP cookie exists and if not set its value

Answer

You can't according to the PHP manual:

Once the cookies have been set, they can be accessed on the next page load with the $_COOKIE or $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS arrays.

This is because cookies are sent in response headers to the browser and the browser must then send them back with the next request. This is why they are only available on the second page load.

Work around

But you can work around it by also setting $_COOKIE when you call setcookie():

if(!isset($_COOKIE['lg'])) {
    setcookie('lg', 'ro');
    $_COOKIE['lg'] = 'ro';
}
echo $_COOKIE['lg'];

Find (and kill) process locking port 3000 on Mac

Easiest solution:

kill $(lsof -ti:3000,3001,8080)

For single port:

kill $(lsof -ti:3000)

#3000 is the port to be freed

Kill multiple ports with single line command:

kill $(lsof -ti:3000,3001)

#here multiple ports 3000 and 3001 are the ports to be freed

lsof -ti:3000

82500 (Process ID)

lsof -ti:3001

82499

lsof -ti:3001,3000

82499 82500

kill $(lsof -ti:3001,3000)

Terminates both 82499 and 82500 processes in a single command.

For using this in package.json scripts:

"scripts": { "start": "kill $(lsof -ti:3000,3001) && npm start" }

How do I delete an exported environment variable?

Walkthrough of creating and deleting an environment variable in bash:

Test if the DUALCASE variable exists:

el@apollo:~$ env | grep DUALCASE
el@apollo:~$

It does not, so create the variable and export it:

el@apollo:~$ DUALCASE=1
el@apollo:~$ export DUALCASE

Check if it is there:

el@apollo:~$ env | grep DUALCASE
DUALCASE=1

It is there. So get rid of it:

el@apollo:~$ unset DUALCASE

Check if it's still there:

el@apollo:~$ env | grep DUALCASE
el@apollo:~$

The DUALCASE exported environment variable is deleted.

Extra commands to help clear your local and environment variables:

Unset all local variables back to default on login:

el@apollo:~$ CAN="chuck norris"
el@apollo:~$ set | grep CAN
CAN='chuck norris'
el@apollo:~$ env | grep CAN
el@apollo:~$
el@apollo:~$ exec bash
el@apollo:~$ set | grep CAN
el@apollo:~$ env | grep CAN
el@apollo:~$

exec bash command cleared all the local variables but not environment variables.

Unset all environment variables back to default on login:

el@apollo:~$ export DOGE="so wow"
el@apollo:~$ env | grep DOGE
DOGE=so wow
el@apollo:~$ env -i bash
el@apollo:~$ env | grep DOGE
el@apollo:~$

env -i bash command cleared all the environment variables to default on login.

What does "request for member '*******' in something not a structure or union" mean?

It may also happen in the following case:

eg. if we consider the push function of a stack:

typedef struct stack
{
    int a[20];
    int head;
}stack;

void push(stack **s)
{
    int data;
    printf("Enter data:");
    scanf("%d",&(*s->a[++*s->head])); /* this is where the error is*/
}

main()
{
    stack *s;
    s=(stack *)calloc(1,sizeof(stack));
    s->head=-1;
    push(&s);
    return 0;
}

The error is in the push function and in the commented line. The pointer s has to be included within the parentheses. The correct code:

scanf("%d",&( (*s)->a[++(*s)->head]));

Django Cookies, how can I set them?

Anyone interested in doing this should read the documentation of the Django Sessions framework. It stores a session ID in the user's cookies, but maps all the cookies-like data to your database. This is an improvement on the typical cookies-based workflow for HTTP requests.

Here is an example with a Django view ...

def homepage(request):

    request.session.setdefault('how_many_visits', 0)
    request.session['how_many_visits'] += 1

    print(request.session['how_many_visits'])

    return render(request, 'home.html', {})

If you keep visiting the page over and over, you'll see the value start incrementing up from 1 until you clear your cookies, visit on a new browser, go incognito, or do anything else that sidesteps Django's Session ID cookie.

How to decrease prod bundle size?

Taken from the angular docs v9 (https://angular.io/guide/workspace-config#alternate-build-configurations):

By default, a production configuration is defined, and the ng build command has --prod option that builds using this configuration. The production configuration sets defaults that optimize the app in a number of ways, such as bundling files, minimizing excess whitespace, removing comments and dead code, and rewriting code to use short, cryptic names ("minification").

Additionally you can compress all your deployables with @angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser builder where your custom webpack.config.js looks like that:

module.exports = {
  entry: {
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: '[name].[hash].js'
  },
  plugins: [
    new CompressionPlugin({
      deleteOriginalAssets: true,
    })
  ]
};

Afterwards you will have to configure your web server to serve compressed content e.g. with nginx you have to add to your nginx.conf:

server {
    gzip on;
    gzip_types      text/plain application/xml;
    gzip_proxied    no-cache no-store private expired auth;
    gzip_min_length 1000;
    ...
}

In my case the dist folder shrank from 25 to 5 mb after just using the --prod in ng build and then further shrank to 1.5mb after compression.

What causes imported Maven project in Eclipse to use Java 1.5 instead of Java 1.6 by default and how can I ensure it doesn't?

Simplest solution in Springboot

I'll give you the simplest one if you use Springboot:

<properties>
  <java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>

Then, right click on your Eclipse project: Maven > Update project > Update project configuration from pom.xml

That should do.

How do I copy to the clipboard in JavaScript?

In browsers other than Internet Explorer you need to use a small Flash object to manipulate the clipboard, e.g.

load and execute order of scripts

A great summary by @addyosmani

Shamelessly copied from https://addyosmani.com/blog/script-priorities/

center a row using Bootstrap 3

Instead of

<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4"></div>

You could just use

<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4"></div>

As long as you don't want anything in columns 1 & 3 this is a more elegant solution. The offset "adds" 4 columns in front, leaving you with 4 "spare" after.

PS I realise that the initial question specifies no offsets but at least one previous answer uses a CSS hack that is unnecessary if you use offsets. So for completeness' sake I think this is valid.

Access index of last element in data frame

Combining @comte's answer and dmdip's answer in Get index of a row of a pandas dataframe as an integer

df.tail(1).index.item()

gives you the value of the index.

Note that indices are not always well defined not matter they are multi-indexed or single indexed. Modifying dataframes using indices might result in unexpected behavior. We will have an example with a multi-indexed case but note this is also true in a single-indexed case.

Say we have

df = pd.DataFrame({'x':[1,1,3,3], 'y':[3,3,5,5]}, index=[11,11,12,12]).stack()

11  x    1
    y    3
    x    1
    y    3
12  x    3
    y    5              # the index is (12, 'y')
    x    3
    y    5              # the index is also (12, 'y')

df.tail(1).index.item() # gives (12, 'y')

Trying to access the last element with the index df[12, "y"] yields

(12, y)    5
(12, y)    5
dtype: int64

If you attempt to modify the dataframe based on the index (12, y), you will modify two rows rather than one. Thus, even though we learned to access the value of last row's index, it might not be a good idea if you want to change the values of last row based on its index as there could be many that share the same index. You should use df.iloc[-1] to access last row in this case though.

What is the default value for enum variable?

It is whatever member of the enumeration represents the value 0. Specifically, from the documentation:

The default value of an enum E is the value produced by the expression (E)0.

As an example, take the following enum:

enum E
{
    Foo, Bar, Baz, Quux
}

Without overriding the default values, printing default(E) returns Foo since it's the first-occurring element.

However, it is not always the case that 0 of an enum is represented by the first member. For example, if you do this:

enum F
{
    // Give each element a custom value
    Foo = 1, Bar = 2, Baz = 3, Quux = 0
}

Printing default(F) will give you Quux, not Foo.

If none of the elements in an enum G correspond to 0:

enum G
{
    Foo = 1, Bar = 2, Baz = 3, Quux = 4
}

default(G) returns literally 0, although its type remains as G (as quoted by the docs above, a cast to the given enum type).

Java JTable setting Column Width

Use this method

public static void setColumnWidths(JTable table, int... widths) {
    TableColumnModel columnModel = table.getColumnModel();
    for (int i = 0; i < widths.length; i++) {
        if (i < columnModel.getColumnCount()) {
            columnModel.getColumn(i).setMaxWidth(widths[i]);
        }
        else break;
    }
}

Or extend the JTable class:

public class Table extends JTable {
    public void setColumnWidths(int... widths) {
        for (int i = 0; i < widths.length; i++) {
            if (i < columnModel.getColumnCount()) {
                columnModel.getColumn(i).setMaxWidth(widths[i]);
            }
            else break;
        }
    }
}

And then

table.setColumnWidths(30, 150, 100, 100);

How to install pip for Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.10?

This website contains a much cleaner solution, it leaves pip intact as-well and one can easily switch between 3.5 and 3.6 and then whenever 3.7 is released.

http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/07/install-python-3-6-1-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts/

A short summary:

sudo apt-get install python python-pip python3 python3-pip
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.5 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 2

Then

$ pip -V
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ pip3 -V
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (python 3.5)

Then to select python 3.6 run

sudo update-alternatives --config python3

and select '2'. Then

$ pip3 -V
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (python 3.6)

To update pip select the desired version and

pip3 install --upgrade pip

$ pip3 -V
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (python 3.6)

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

Clear text input on click with AngularJS

Just clear the scope model value on click event and it should do the trick for you.

<input type="text" ng-model="searchAll" />
<a class="clear" ng-click="searchAll = null">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
</a>

Or if you keep your controller's $scope function and clear it from there. Make sure you've set your controller correctly.

$scope.clearSearch = function() {
    $scope.searchAll = null;
}

Lazy Loading vs Eager Loading

It is better to use eager loading when it is possible, because it optimizes the performance of your application.

ex-:

Eager loading

var customers= _context.customers.Include(c=> c.membershipType).Tolist();

lazy loading

In model customer has to define

Public virtual string membershipType {get; set;}

So when querying lazy loading is much slower loading all the reference objects, but eager loading query and select only the object which are relevant.

How do I download a package from apt-get without installing it?

Try

apt-get -d install <packages>

It is documented in man apt-get.

Just for clarification; the downloaded packages are located in the apt package cache at

/var/cache/apt/archives

Why is it that "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

If it is a GET service, then you need to use it with a GET method, not a POST method. Your problem is a type mismatch. A different example of type mismatch (to put severity into perspective) is trying to assign a string to an integer variable.

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN

Although Bootstrap CDN restored glyphicons to bootstrap.min.css, Bootstrap CDN's Bootswatch css files doesn't include glyphicons.

For example Amelia theme: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/

Default Amelia has glyphicons in this file: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

But Bootstrap CDN's css file doesn't include glyphicons: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.0.0/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

So as @edsioufi mentioned, you should include you should include glphicons css, if you use Bootswatch files from the bootstrap CDN. File: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css

Turning off hibernate logging console output

I finally figured out, it's because the Hibernate is using slf4j log facade now, to bridge to log4j, you need to put log4j and slf4j-log4j12 jars to your lib and then the log4j properties will take control Hibernate logs.

My pom.xml setting looks as below:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.16</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.4</version>
    </dependency>

Control the dashed border stroke length and distance between strokes

The native dashed border property value does not offer control over the dashes themselves... so bring on the border-image property!

Brew your own border with `border-image`

Compatibility: It offers great browser support (IE 11 and all modern browsers). A normal border can be set as a fallback for older browsers.

Let's create these

These borders will display exactly the same cross-browser!

Goal example Goal example with wider gaps

Step 1 - Create a suitable image

This example is 15 pixels wide by 15 pixels high and the gaps are currently 5px wide. It is a .png with transparency.

This is what it looks like in photoshop when zoomed in:

Example Border Image Background Blown Up

This is what it looks like to scale:

Example Border Image Background Actual Size

Controlling gap and stroke length

To create wider / shorter gaps or strokes, widen / shorten the gaps or strokes in the image.

Here is an image with wider 10px gaps:

Larger gaps correctly scaled = Larger gaps to scale

Step 2 - Create the CSS — this example requires 4 basic steps

Define the border-image-source:

border-image-source:url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/wLdVc.png");

Optional - Define the border-image-width:
```
border-image-width: 1;
```
The default value is 1. It can also be set with a pixel value, percentage value, or as another multiple (1x, 2x, 3x etc). This overrides any border-width set.
Define the border-image-slice:

In this example, the thickness of the images top, right, bottom and left borders is 2px, and there is no gap outside of them, so our slice value is 2:
```
border-image-slice: 2; 
```
The slices look like this, 2 pixels from the top, right, bottom and left:
Define the border-image-repeat:

In this example, we want the pattern to repeat itself evenly around our div. So we choose:
```
border-image-repeat: round;
```

Writing shorthand

The properties above can be set individually, or in shorthand using border-image:

border-image: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/wLdVc.png") 2 round;

Complete example

Note the border: dashed 4px #000 fallback. Non-supporting browsers will receive this border.

  padding: 20px;_x000D_
  /* Fallback dashed border_x000D_

  border-image: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/wLdVc.png") 2 round;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
/*The border image of this one creates wider gaps*/_x000D_
.largeGaps {_x000D_
  border-image-source: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/LKclP.png");_x000D_
  margin: 0 20px;_x000D_
}

Completely Remove MySQL Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Different solution for those still having issues. Hopefully I can help those trying to reinstall Mysql. Note, It's a seek and destroy mission. So be weary. Assuming your root:

apt-get purge mysql*
apt-get purge dbconfig-common #the screen used for mysql password
find / -name *mysql*          #delete any traces of mysql
#insert apt-get cleanups, autoremove,updates etc.

Originally, something leftover was interfering with my startup of mysqlserver-5.5. These commands ended up resolving the issue for myself.

How to parse a string into a nullable int

This solution is generic without reflection overhead.

public static Nullable<T> ParseNullable<T>(string s, Func<string, T> parser) where T : struct
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(s.Trim())) return null;
    else return parser(s);
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Nullable<int> i = ParseNullable("-1", int.Parse);
    Nullable<float> dt = ParseNullable("3.14", float.Parse);
}

Uninstall Django completely

The Issue is with pip --version or python --version.

try solving issue with pip2.7 uninstall Django command

If you are not able to uninstall using the above command then for sure your pip2.7 version is not installed so you can follow the below steps:

1)which pip2.7 it should give you an output like this :

/usr/local/bin/pip2.7

2) If you have not got this output please install pip using following commands

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2.7 get-pip.py

3) Now check your pip version : which pip2.7 Now you will get

/usr/local/bin/pip2.7 as output

4) uninstall Django using pip2.7 uninstall Django command.

Problem can also be related to Python version. I had a similar problem, this is how I uninstalled Django.

Issue occurred because I had multiple python installed in my virtual environment.

$ ls

activate       activate_this.py  easy_install-3.4  pip2.7  python     python3        wheel
activate.csh   easy_install      pip               pip3    python2    python3.4
activate.fish  easy_install-2.7  pip2              pip3.4  python2.7  python-config

Now when I tried to un-install using pip uninstall Django Django got uninstalled from python 2.7 but not from python 3.4 so I followed the following steps to resolve the issue :

1)alias python=/usr/bin/python3

2) Now check your python version using python -V command

3) If you have switched to your required python version now you can simply uninstall Django using pip3 uninstall Django command

Hope this answer helps.

How to process a file in PowerShell line-by-line as a stream

System.IO.File.ReadLines() is perfect for this scenario. It returns all the lines of a file, but lets you begin iterating over the lines immediately which means it does not have to store the entire contents in memory.

Requires .NET 4.0 or higher.

foreach ($line in [System.IO.File]::ReadLines($filename)) {
    # do something with $line

Can I position an element fixed relative to parent?

2016 Update

It's now possible in modern browsers to position an element fixed relative to its container. An element that has a transform property acts as the viewport for any of its fixed position child elements.

Or as the CSS Transforms Module puts it:

For elements whose layout is governed by the CSS box model, any value other than none for the transform property also causes the element to establish a containing block for all descendants. Its padding box will be used to layout for all of its absolute-position descendants, fixed-position descendants, and descendant fixed background attachments.

Linux: command to open URL in default browser

The most cross-distribution one is xdg-open http://stackoverflow.com

Why would we call cin.clear() and cin.ignore() after reading input?

The cin.clear() clears the error flag on cin (so that future I/O operations will work correctly), and then cin.ignore(10000, '\n') skips to the next newline (to ignore anything else on the same line as the non-number so that it does not cause another parse failure). It will only skip up to 10000 characters, so the code is assuming the user will not put in a very long, invalid line.

Java FileOutputStream Create File if not exists

new FileOutputStream(f) will create a file in most cases, but unfortunately you will get a FileNotFoundException

if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason

from Javadoc

I other word there might be plenty of cases where you would get FileNotFoundException meaning "Could not create your file", but you would not be able to find the reason of why the file creation failed.

A solution is to remove any call to the File API and use the Files API instead as it provides much better error handling. Typically replace any new FileOutputStream(f) with Files.newOutputStream(p).

In cases where you do need to use the File API (because you use an external interface using File for example), using Files.createFile(p) is a good way to make sure your file is created properly and if not you would know why it didn't work. Some people commented above that this is redundant. It is true, but you get better error handling which might be necessary in some cases.

Create a new txt file using VB.NET

You can try writing into the Documents folder. Here is a "debug" function I did for the debugging needs of my project:

Private Sub writeDebug(ByVal x As String)
    Dim path As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
    Dim FILE_NAME As String = path & "\mydebug.txt"
    MsgBox(FILE_NAME)
    If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = False Then
        System.IO.File.Create(FILE_NAME).Dispose()
    End If
    Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME, True)
    objWriter.WriteLine(x)
    objWriter.Close()
End Sub

There are more standard folders you can access through the "SpecialFolder" object.

iOS 6 apps - how to deal with iPhone 5 screen size?

I have just finished updating and sending an iOS 6.0 version of one of my Apps to the store. This version is backwards compatible with iOS 5.0, thus I kept the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method and added the new ones as listed below.

I had to do the following:

Autorotation is changing in iOS 6. In iOS 6, the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method of UIViewController is deprecated. In its place, you should use the supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: and shouldAutorotate methods. Thus, I added these new methods (and kept the old for iOS 5 compatibility):

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;    
}

Used the view controller’s viewWillLayoutSubviews method and adjust the layout using the view’s bounds rectangle.
Modal view controllers: The willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration:,
willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration:, and
didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: methods are no longer called on any view controller that makes a full-screen presentation over
itself—for example, presentViewController:animated:completion:.
Then I fixed the autolayout for views that needed it.
Copied images from the simulator for startup view and views for the iTunes store into PhotoShop and exported them as png files.
The name of the default image is: [email protected] and the size is 640×1136. It´s also allowed to supply 640×1096 for the same portrait mode (Statusbar removed). Similar sizes may also be supplied in landscape mode if your app only allows landscape orientation on the iPhone.
I have dropped backward compatibility for iOS 4. The main reason for that is because support for armv6 code has been dropped. Thus, all devices that I am able to support now (running armv7) can be upgraded to iOS 5.
I am also generation armv7s code to support the iPhone 5 and thus can not use any third party frameworks (as Admob etc.) until they are updated.

That was all but just remember to test the autorotation in iOS 5 and iOS 6 because of the changes in rotation.

How to check a string for a special character?

You can use string.punctuation and any function like this

import string
invalidChars = set(string.punctuation.replace("_", ""))
if any(char in invalidChars for char in word):
    print "Invalid"
else:
    print "Valid"

With this line

invalidChars = set(string.punctuation.replace("_", ""))

we are preparing a list of punctuation characters which are not allowed. As you want _ to be allowed, we are removing _ from the list and preparing new set as invalidChars. Because lookups are faster in sets.

any function will return True if atleast one of the characters is in invalidChars.

Edit: As asked in the comments, this is the regular expression solution. Regular expression taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/336220/1903116

word = "Welcome"
import re
print "Valid" if re.match("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$", word) else "Invalid"

Get Current Session Value in JavaScript?

this is how i used ->

<body  onkeypress='myFunction(event)'>

<input type='hidden' id='homepage' value='$_SESSION[homepage]'>


<script>
    function myFunction(event){var x = event.which;if(x == 13){var homepage 
    =document.getElementById('homepage').value;
    window.location.href=homepage;}else{     
    document.getElementById("h1").innerHTML = "<h1> Press <i> ENTER </i> to go back... </h1>";}}
</script>

How to trap on UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints?

You'll want to add a Symbolic Breakpoint. Apple provides an excellent guide on how to do this.

Open the Breakpoint Navigator cmd+7 (cmd+8 in Xcode 9)
Click the Add button in the lower left
Select Add Symbolic Breakpoint...
Where it says Symbol just type in UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints

You can also treat it like any other breakpoint, turning it on and off, adding actions, or log messages.

Using python's mock patch.object to change the return value of a method called within another method

There are two ways you can do this; with patch and with patch.object

Patch assumes that you are not directly importing the object but that it is being used by the object you are testing as in the following

#foo.py
def some_fn():
    return 'some_fn'

class Foo(object):
    def method_1(self):
        return some_fn()

#bar.py
import foo
class Bar(object):
    def method_2(self):
        tmp = foo.Foo()
        return tmp.method_1()

#test_case_1.py
import bar
from mock import patch

@patch('foo.some_fn')
def test_bar(mock_some_fn):
    mock_some_fn.return_value = 'test-val-1'
    tmp = bar.Bar()
    assert tmp.method_2() == 'test-val-1'
    mock_some_fn.return_value = 'test-val-2'
    assert tmp.method_2() == 'test-val-2'

If you are directly importing the module to be tested, you can use patch.object as follows:

#test_case_2.py
import foo
from mock import patch

@patch.object(foo, 'some_fn')
def test_foo(test_some_fn):
    test_some_fn.return_value = 'test-val-1'
    tmp = foo.Foo()
    assert tmp.method_1() == 'test-val-1'
    test_some_fn.return_value = 'test-val-2'
    assert tmp.method_1() == 'test-val-2'

In both cases some_fn will be 'un-mocked' after the test function is complete.

Edit: In order to mock multiple functions, just add more decorators to the function and add arguments to take in the extra parameters

@patch.object(foo, 'some_fn')
@patch.object(foo, 'other_fn')
def test_foo(test_other_fn, test_some_fn):
    ...

Note that the closer the decorator is to the function definition, the earlier it is in the parameter list.

jQuery, simple polling example

I created a tiny JQuery plugin for this. You may try it:

$.poll('http://my/url', 100, (xhr, status, data) => {
    return data.hello === 'world';
})

Best way to check if object exists in Entity Framework?

If you don't want to execute SQL directly, the best way is to use Any(). This is because Any() will return as soon as it finds a match. Another option is Count(), but this might need to check every row before returning.

Here's an example of how to use it:

if (context.MyEntity.Any(o => o.Id == idToMatch))
{
    // Match!
}

And in vb.net

If context.MyEntity.Any(function(o) o.Id = idToMatch) Then
    ' Match!
End If

Read pdf files with php

Not exactly php, but you could exec a program from php to convert the pdf to a temporary html file and then parse the resulting file with php. I've done something similar for a project of mine and this is the program I used:

PdfToHtml

The resulting HTML wraps text elements in < div > tags with absolute position coordinates. It seems like this is exactly what you are trying to do.

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: application

I replaced all the single quotes ['] to double quotes ["] and then it worked perfectly. Thanks for the input by @LogicalKip.

How to affect other elements when one element is hovered

If the cube is directly inside the container:

#container:hover > #cube { background-color: yellow; }

If cube is next to (after containers closing tag) the container:

#container:hover + #cube { background-color: yellow; }

If the cube is somewhere inside the container:

#container:hover #cube { background-color: yellow; }

If the cube is a sibling of the container:

#container:hover ~ #cube { background-color: yellow; }

Finding length of char array

sizeof returns the size of the type of the variable in bytes. So in your case it's returning the size of your char[7] which is 7 * sizeof(char). Since sizeof(char) = 1, the result is 7.

Expanding this to another example:

int intArr[5];
printf("sizeof(intArr)=%u", sizeof(intArr));

would yield 5 * sizeof(int), so you'd get the result "20" (At least on a regular 32bit platform. On others sizeof(int) might differ)

To return to your problem:

It seems like, that what you want to know is the length of the string which is contained inside your array and not the total array size.

By definition C-Strings have to be terminated with a trailing '\0' (0-Byte). So to get the appropriate length of the string contained within your array, you have to first terminate the string, so that you can tell when it's finished. Otherwise there would be now way to know.

All standard functions build upon this definition, so if you call strlen to retrieve the str ing len gth, it will iterate through the given array until it finds the first 0-byte, which in your case would be the very first element.

Another thing you might need to know that only because you don't fill the remaining elements of your char[7] with a value, they actually do contain random undefined values.

Hope that helped.

Number of days in particular month of particular year?

How can I run multiple npm scripts in parallel?

My solution is similar to Piittis', though I had some problems using Windows. So I had to validate for win32.

const { spawn } = require("child_process");

function logData(data) {
    console.info(`stdout: ${data}`);
}

function runProcess(target) {
    let command = "npm";
    if (process.platform === "win32") {
        command = "npm.cmd"; // I shit you not
    }
    const myProcess = spawn(command, ["run", target]); // npm run server

    myProcess.stdout.on("data", logData);
    myProcess.stderr.on("data", logData);
}

(() => {
    runProcess("server"); // package json script
    runProcess("client");
})();

How to do the equivalent of pass by reference for primitives in Java

For a quick solution, you can use AtomicInteger or any of the atomic variables which will let you change the value inside the method using the inbuilt methods. Here is sample code:

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;


public class PrimitivePassByReferenceSample {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        AtomicInteger myNumber = new AtomicInteger(0);
        System.out.println("MyNumber before method Call:" + myNumber.get());
        PrimitivePassByReferenceSample temp = new PrimitivePassByReferenceSample() ;
        temp.changeMyNumber(myNumber);
        System.out.println("MyNumber After method Call:" + myNumber.get());


    }

     void changeMyNumber(AtomicInteger myNumber) {
        myNumber.getAndSet(100);

    }

}

Output:

MyNumber before method Call:0

MyNumber After method Call:100

UITableView load more when scrolling to bottom like Facebook application

Printing an array in C++?

This might help //Printing The Array

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

n is the size of the array

Change Primary Key

Sometimes when we do these steps:

 alter table my_table drop constraint my_pk; 
 alter table my_table add constraint my_pk primary key (city_id, buildtime, time);

The last statement fails with

ORA-00955 "name is already used by an existing object"

Oracle usually creates an unique index with the same name my_pk. In such a case you can drop the unique index or rename it based on whether the constraint is still relevant.

You can combine the dropping of primary key constraint and unique index into a single sql statement:

alter table my_table drop constraint my_pk drop index;

check this: ORA-00955 "name is already used by an existing object"

Flask-SQLalchemy update a row's information

This does not work if you modify a pickled attribute of the model. Pickled attributes should be replaced in order to trigger updates:

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from pprint import pprint

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqllite:////tmp/users.db'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)


class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), unique=True)
    data = db.Column(db.PickleType())

    def __init__(self, name, data):
        self.name = name
        self.data = data

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<User %r>' % self.username

db.create_all()

# Create a user.
bob = User('Bob', {})
db.session.add(bob)
db.session.commit()

# Retrieve the row by its name.
bob = User.query.filter_by(name='Bob').first()
pprint(bob.data)  # {}

# Modifying data is ignored.
bob.data['foo'] = 123
db.session.commit()
bob = User.query.filter_by(name='Bob').first()
pprint(bob.data)  # {}

# Replacing data is respected.
bob.data = {'bar': 321}
db.session.commit()
bob = User.query.filter_by(name='Bob').first()
pprint(bob.data)  # {'bar': 321}

# Modifying data is ignored.
bob.data['moo'] = 789
db.session.commit()
bob = User.query.filter_by(name='Bob').first()
pprint(bob.data)  # {'bar': 321}

Converting String to Int with Swift

Use this:

// get the values from text boxes
    let a:Double = firstText.text.bridgeToObjectiveC().doubleValue
    let b:Double = secondText.text.bridgeToObjectiveC().doubleValue

//  we checking against 0.0, because above function return 0.0 if it gets failed to convert
    if (a != 0.0) && (b != 0.0) {
        var ans = a + b
        answerLabel.text = "Answer is \(ans)"
    } else {
        answerLabel.text = "Input values are not numberic"
    }

Make your UITextField KeyboardType as DecimalTab from your XIB or storyboard, and remove any if condition for doing any calculation, ie.

var ans = a + b
answerLabel.text = "Answer is \(ans)"

Because keyboard type is DecimalPad there is no chance to enter other 0-9 or .

Excel data validation with suggestions/autocomplete

None of the above mentioned solution worked. The one that seemed to work only provide the functionality for just one cell

Recently I had to enter a lot of names and without suggestions, it was a huge pain. I was fortunate enough to have this excel autocomplete add-in to enable the autocompletion. The down side is that you need to enable macro (but you can always turn it off later)

How to prevent browser to invoke basic auth popup and handle 401 error using Jquery?

In Safari, you can use synchronous requests to avoid the browser to display the popup. Of course, synchronous requests should only be used in this case to check user credentials... You can use a such request before sending the actual request which may cause a bad user experience if the content (sent or received) is quite heavy.

    var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest;
    xmlhttp.withCredentials=true;
    xmlhttp.open("POST",<YOUR UR>,false,username,password);
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');

Target elements with multiple classes, within one rule

Just in case someone stumbles upon this like I did and doesn't realise, the two variations above are for different use cases.

The following:

.blue-border, .background {
    border: 1px solid #00f;
    background: #fff;
}

is for when you want to add styles to elements that have either the blue-border or background class, for example:

<div class="blue-border">Hello</div>
<div class="background">World</div>
<div class="blue-border background">!</div>

would all get a blue border and white background applied to them.

However, the accepted answer is different.

.blue-border.background {
    border: 1px solid #00f;
    background: #fff;
}

This applies the styles to elements that have both classes so in this example only the <div> with both classes should get the styles applied (in browsers that interpret the CSS properly):

<div class="blue-border">Hello</div>
<div class="background">World</div>
<div class="blue-border background">!</div>

So basically think of it like this, comma separating applies to elements with one class OR another class and dot separating applies to elements with one class AND another class.

How to change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?

Removing a remote

Use the git remote rm command to remove a remote URL from your repository.

    $ git remote -v
    # View current remotes
    > origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
    > origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push)
    > destination  https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
    > destination  https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (push)

    $ git remote rm destination
    # Remove remote
    $ git remote -v
    # Verify it's gone
    > origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
    > origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push)

Disable Input fields in reactive form

If to use disabled form input elements (like suggested in correct answer how to disable input) validation for them will be also disabled, take attention for that!

(And if you are using on submit button like [disabled]="!form.valid"it will exclude your field from validation)

How to remove all elements in String array in java?

How to format current time using a yyyyMMddHHmmss format?

Use

fmt.Println(t.Format("20060102150405"))

as Go uses following constants to format date,refer here

    stdMonth          = "Jan"
    stdNumMonth       = "1"

    stdLongWeekDay    = "Monday"
    stdWeekDay        = "Mon"
    stdDay            = "2"
    stdUnderDay       = "_2"
    stdZeroDay        = "02"
    stdHour           = "15"
    stdHour12         = "3"
    stdZeroHour12     = "03"
    stdMinute         = "4"
    stdZeroMinute     = "04"
    stdSecond         = "5"
    stdZeroSecond     = "05"
    stdLongYear       = "2006"
    stdYear           = "06"

    stdpm             = "pm"
    stdTZ             = "MST"
    stdISO8601TZ      = "Z0700"  // prints Z for UTC
    stdISO8601ColonTZ = "Z07:00" // prints Z for UTC
    stdNumTZ          = "-0700"  // always numeric
    stdNumShortTZ     = "-07"    // always numeric
    stdNumColonTZ     = "-07:00" // always numeric
)

Which loop is faster, while or for?

It shouldn't matter which is faster. If it does matter then benchmark it using your real code and see for yourself.

@ViewChild in *ngIf

Working on Angular 8 No need to import ChangeDector

ngIf allows you not to load the element and avoid adding more stress to your application. Here's how I got it running without ChangeDetector

elem: ElementRef;

@ViewChild('elemOnHTML', {static: false}) set elemOnHTML(elemOnHTML: ElementRef) {
    if (!!elemOnHTML) {
      this.elem = elemOnHTML;
    }
}

Then when I change my ngIf value to be truthy I would use setTimeout like this for it to wait only for the next change cycle:

  this.showElem = true;
  console.log(this.elem); // undefined here
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(this.elem); // back here through ViewChild set
    this.elem.do();
  });

This also allowed me to avoid using any additional libraries or imports.

How do I execute a Shell built-in command with a C function?

You can use the excecl command

int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);

Like shown here

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int main (void) {

   return execl ("/bin/pwd", "pwd", NULL);

}

The second argument will be the name of the process as it will appear in the process table.

Alternatively, you can use the getcwd() function to get the current working directory:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#define MAX 255

int main (void) {
char wd[MAX];
wd[MAX-1] = '\0';

if(getcwd(wd, MAX-1) == NULL) {
  printf ("Can not get current working directory\n");
}
else {
  printf("%s\n", wd);
}
  return 0;
}

How to convert milliseconds into human readable form?

Well, since nobody else has stepped up, I'll write the easy code to do this:

x = ms / 1000
seconds = x % 60
x /= 60
minutes = x % 60
x /= 60
hours = x % 24
x /= 24
days = x

I'm just glad you stopped at days and didn't ask for months. :)

Note that in the above, it is assumed that / represents truncating integer division. If you use this code in a language where / represents floating point division, you will need to manually truncate the results of the division as needed.

An URL to a Windows shared folder

If you are allowed to go further then javascript/html facilities - I would use the apache web server to represent your directory listing via http.

If this solution is appropriate. these are the steps:

download apache hhtp server from one of the mirrors http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
unzip/install (if msi) it to the directory e.g C:\opt\Apache (the instruction is for windows)
map the network forlder as a local drive on windows (\server\folder to let's say drive H:)
open conf/httpd.conf file
make sure the next line is present and not commented

LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so
Add directory configuration

<Directory "H:/path">

Options +Indexes

AllowOverride None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory> 7. Start the web server and make sure the directory listingof the remote folder is available by http. hit localhost/path 8. use a frame inside your web page to access the listing

What is missed: 1. you mignt need more fancy configuration for the host name, refer to Apache Web Server docs. Register the host name in DNS server

the mapping to the network drive might not work, i did not check. As a posible resolution - host your web server on the same machine as smb server.

Getting the IP address of the current machine using Java

Since my system (like so many other systems) had various network interfaces.InetAddress.getLocalHost() or Inet4Address.getLocalHost() simply returned one that I did not desire. Therefore I had to use this naive approach.

InetAddress[] allAddresses = Inet4Address.getAllByName("YourComputerHostName");
        InetAddress desiredAddress;
        //In order to find the desired Ip to be routed by other modules (WiFi adapter)
        for (InetAddress address :
                allAddresses) {
            if (address.getHostAddress().startsWith("192.168.2")) {
                desiredAddress = address;
            }
        }
// Use the desired address for whatever purpose.

Just be careful that in this approach I already knew that my desired IP address is in 192.168.2 subnet.

Filtering collections in C#

You can use the FindAll method of the List, providing a delegate to filter on. Though, I agree with @IainMH that it's not worth worrying yourself too much unless it's a huge list.

Mock functions in Go

Warning: This might inflate executable file size a little bit and cost a little runtime performance. IMO, this would be better if golang has such feature like macro or function decorator.

If you want to mock functions without changing its API, the easiest way is to change the implementation a little bit:

func getPage(url string) string {
  if GetPageMock != nil {
    return GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

func downloader() {
  if GetPageMock != nil {
    return GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

var GetPageMock func(url string) string = nil
var DownloaderMock func() = nil

This way we can actually mock one function out of the others. For more convenient we can provide such mocking boilerplate:

// download.go
func getPage(url string) string {
  if m.GetPageMock != nil {
    return m.GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

func downloader() {
  if m.GetPageMock != nil {
    return m.GetPageMock()
  }

  // getPage real implementation goes here!
}

type MockHandler struct {
  GetPage func(url string) string
  Downloader func()
}

var m *MockHandler = new(MockHandler)

func Mock(handler *MockHandler) {
  m = handler
}

In test file:

// download_test.go
func GetPageMock(url string) string {
  // ...
}

func TestDownloader(t *testing.T) {
  Mock(&MockHandler{
    GetPage: GetPageMock,
  })

  // Test implementation goes here!

  Mock(new(MockHandler)) // Reset mocked functions
}

Critical t values in R

The code you posted gives the critical value for a one-sided test (Hence the answer to you question is simply:

abs(qt(0.25, 40)) # 75% confidence, 1 sided (same as qt(0.75, 40))
abs(qt(0.01, 40)) # 99% confidence, 1 sided (same as qt(0.99, 40))

Note that the t-distribution is symmetric. For a 2-sided test (say with 99% confidence) you can use the critical value

abs(qt(0.01/2, 40)) # 99% confidence, 2 sided

json.dump throwing "TypeError: {...} is not JSON serializable" on seemingly valid object?

Because it's not actually a dictionary; it's another mapping type that looks like a dictionary. Use type() to verify. Pass it to dict() to get a real dictionary from it.

What is the difference between visibility:hidden and display:none?

One thing worth adding, though it wasn't asked, is that there is a third option of making the object completely transparent. Consider:

_x000D_

1st <a href="http://example.com" style="display: none;">unseen</a> link.<br />_x000D_
2nd <a href="http://example.com" style="visibility: hidden;">unseen</a> link.<br />_x000D_
3rd <a href="http://example.com" style="opacity: 0;">unseen</a> link.

_x000D_

(Be sure to click "Run code snippet" button above to see the result.)

The difference between 1 and 2 has already been pointed out (namely, 2 still takes up space). However, there is a difference between 2 and 3: in case 3, the mouse will still switch to the hand when hovering over the link, and the user can still click on the link, and Javascript events will still fire on the link. This is usually not the behavior you want (but maybe sometimes it is?).

Another difference is if you select the text, then copy/paste as plain text, you get the following:

1st link.
2nd  link.
3rd unseen link.

In case 3 the text does get copied. Maybe this would be useful for some type of watermarking, or if you wanted to hide a copyright notice that would show up if a carelessly user copy/pasted your content?

Putting an if-elif-else statement on one line?

No, it's not possible (at least not with arbitrary statements), nor is it desirable. Fitting everything on one line would most likely violate PEP-8 where it is mandated that lines should not exceed 80 characters in length.

It's also against the Zen of Python: "Readability counts". (Type import this at the Python prompt to read the whole thing).

You can use a ternary expression in Python, but only for expressions, not for statements:

>>> a = "Hello" if foo() else "Goodbye"

Edit:

Your revised question now shows that the three statements are identical except for the value being assigned. In that case, a chained ternary operator does work, but I still think that it's less readable:

>>> i=100
>>> a = 1 if i<100 else 2 if i>100 else 0
>>> a
0
>>> i=101
>>> a = 1 if i<100 else 2 if i>100 else 0
>>> a
2
>>> i=99
>>> a = 1 if i<100 else 2 if i>100 else 0
>>> a
1

MVC ajax post to controller action method

I found this way of using ajax which helped me as it was better in use as not having complex json syntaxes

//fifth
function GetAjaxDataPromise(url, postData) {
    debugger;
    var promise = $.post(url, postData, function (promise, status) {
    });
    return promise;
};
$(function () {
    $("#btnGet5").click(function () {
        debugger;
        var promises = GetAjaxDataPromise('@Url.Action("AjaxMethod", "Home")', { EmpId: $("#txtId").val(), EmpName: $("#txtName").val(), EmpSalary: $("#txtSalary").val() });
        promises.done(function (response) {
            debugger;
            alert("Hello: " + response.EmpName + " Your Employee Id Is: " + response.EmpId + "And Your Salary Is: " + response.EmpSalary);
        });
    });
});

This method comes with jquery promise the best part was on controller we can received data by using separate parameters or just by using a model class.

[HttpPost]
    public JsonResult AjaxMethod(PersonModel personModel)
    {
        PersonModel person = new PersonModel
        {
            EmpId = personModel.EmpId,
            EmpName = personModel.EmpName,
            EmpSalary = personModel.EmpSalary
        };
        return Json(person);
    }

[HttpPost]
    public JsonResult AjaxMethod(string empId, string empName, string empSalary)
    {
        PersonModel person = new PersonModel
        {
            EmpId = empId,
            EmpName = empName,
            EmpSalary = empSalary
        };
        return Json(person);
    }

It works for both of the cases. SO you must try out this way. Got the reference from Using Ajax With Asp.Net MVC

There are few more ways of using Ajax explained there other than this one which you must try.

How to create password input field in django

Default value to a parameter while passing by reference in C++

There are two reasons to pass an argument by reference: (1) for performance (in which case you want to pass by const reference) and (2) because you need the ability to change the value of the argument inside the function.

I highly doubt that passing an unsigned long on modern architectures is slowing you down too much. So I'm assuming that you're intending to change the value of State inside the method. The compiler is complaining because the constant 0 cannot be changed, as it's an rvalue ("non-lvalue" in the error message) and unchangeable (const in the error message).

Simply put, you want a method that can change the argument passed, but by default you want to pass an argument that can't change.

To put it another way, non-const references have to refer to actual variables. The default value in the function signature (0) is not a real variable. You're running into the same problem as:

struct Foo {
    virtual ULONG Write(ULONG& State, bool sequence = true);
};

Foo f;
ULONG s = 5;
f.Write(s); // perfectly OK, because s is a real variable
f.Write(0); // compiler error, 0 is not a real variable
            // if the value of 0 were changed in the function,
            // I would have no way to refer to the new value

If you don't actually intend to change State inside the method you can simply change it to a const ULONG&. But you're not going to get a big performance benefit from that, so I would recommend changing it to a non-reference ULONG. I notice that you are already returning a ULONG, and I have a sneaky suspicion that its value is the value of State after any needed modifications. In which case I would simply declare the method as so:

// returns value of State
virtual ULONG Write(ULONG State = 0, bool sequence = true);

Of course, I'm not quite sure what you're writing or to where. But that's another question for another time.

How do I check in SQLite whether a table exists?

Using a simple SELECT query is - in my opinion - quite reliable. Most of all it can check table existence in many different database types (SQLite / MySQL).

SELECT 1 FROM table;

It makes sense when you can use other reliable mechanism for determining if the query succeeded (for example, you query a database via QSqlQuery in Qt).

jQuery Loop through each div

You're right that it involves a loop, but this is, at least, made simple by use of the each() method:

$('.target').each(
    function(){
        // iterate through each of the `.target` elements, and do stuff in here
        // `this` and `$(this)` refer to the current `.target` element
        var images = $(this).find('img'),
            imageWidth = images.width(); // returns the width of the _first_ image
            numImages = images.length;
        $(this).css('width', (imageWidth*numImages));

    });

Multiple Buttons' OnClickListener() android

I had a similar issue and what I did is: Create a array of Buttons

Button buttons[] = new Button[10];

Then to implement on click listener and reference xml id's I used a loop like this

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {      
String buttonID = "button" + i;
        int resID = getResources().getIdentifier(buttonID, "id",
                "your package name here");
        buttons[i] = (Button) findViewById(resID);
        buttons[i].setOnClickListener(this);
    }

But calling them up remains same as in Prag's answer point 4. PS- If anybody has a better method to call up all the button's onClick, please do comment.

How do you debug PHP scripts?

Well, to some degree it depends on where things are going south. That's the first thing I try to isolate, and then I'll use echo/print_r() as necessary.

NB: You guys know that you can pass true as a second argument to print_r() and it'll return the output instead of printing it? E.g.:

echo "<pre>".print_r($var, true)."</pre>";

Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Chrome and Safari has a restriction on using ajax with local resources. That's why it's throwing an error like

Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Solution: Use firefox or upload your data to a temporary server. If you still want to use Chrome, start it with the below option;

--allow-file-access-from-files

More info how to add the above parameter to your Chrome: Right click the Chrome icon on your task bar, right click the Google Chrome on the pop-up window and click properties and add the above parameter inside the Target textbox under Shortcut tab. It will like as below;

C:\Users\XXX_USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

Hope this will help!

socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

On Windows Vista/7, with UAC, administrator accounts run programs in unprivileged mode by default.

Programs must prompt for administrator access before they run as administrator, with the ever-so-familiar UAC dialog. Since Python scripts aren't directly executable, there's no "Run as Administrator" context menu option.

It's possible to use ctypes.windll.shell32.IsUserAnAdmin() to detect whether the script has admin access, and ShellExecuteEx with the 'runas' verb on python.exe, with sys.argv[0] as a parameter to prompt the UAC dialog if needed.

HTML to PDF with Node.js

Create PDF from External URL

Here's an adaptation of the previous answers which utilizes html-pdf, but also combines it with requestify so it works with an external URL:

Install your dependencies

npm i -S html-pdf requestify

Then, create the script:

//MakePDF.js

var pdf = require('html-pdf');
var requestify = require('requestify');
var externalURL= 'http://www.google.com';

requestify.get(externalURL).then(function (response) {
   // Get the raw HTML response body
   var html = response.body; 
   var config = {format: 'A4'}; // or format: 'letter' - see https://github.com/marcbachmann/node-html-pdf#options

// Create the PDF
   pdf.create(html, config).toFile('pathtooutput/generated.pdf', function (err, res) {
      if (err) return console.log(err);
      console.log(res); // { filename: '/pathtooutput/generated.pdf' }
   });
});

Then you just run from the command line:

node MakePDF.js

How to get records randomly from the oracle database?

SAMPLE() is not guaranteed to give you exactly 20 rows, but might be suitable (and may perform significantly better than a full query + sort-by-random for large tables):

SELECT *

Note: the 20 here is an approximate percentage, not the number of rows desired. In this case, since you have 100 rows, to get approximately 20 rows you ask for a 20% sample.

_x000D_
  handleClick: function() {_x000D_
    console.log(this.state.input);_x000D_
  },_x000D_
_x000D_
  render: function() {_x000D_
    return (_x000D_

Why rgb and not cmy?

There's a difference between additive colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color) and subtractive colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color).

With additive colors, the more you add, the brighter the colors become. This is because they are emitting light. This is why the day light is (more or less) white, since the Sun is emitting in almost all the visible wavelength spectrum.

On the other hand, with subtractive colors the more colors you mix, the darker the resulting color. This is because they are reflecting light. This is also why the black colors get hotter quickly, because it absorbs (almost) all light energy and reflects (almost) none.

Specifically to your question, it depends what medium you are working on. Traditionally, additive colors (RGB) are used because the canon for computer graphics was the computer monitor, and since it's emitting light, it makes sense to use the same structure for the graphic card (the colors are shown without conversions). However, if you are used to graphic arts and press, subtractive color model is used (CMYK). In programs such as Photoshop, you can choose to work in CMYK space although it doesn't matter what color model you use: the primary colors of one group are the secondary colors of the second one and viceversa.

P.D.: my father worked at graphic arts, this is why i know this... :-P

Deleting rows from parent and child tables

Here's a complete example of how it can be done. However you need flashback query privileges on the child table.

Here's the setup.

create table parent_tab
  (parent_id number primary key,
  val varchar2(20));

create table child_tab
    (child_id number primary key,
    parent_id number,
    child_val number,
     constraint child_par_fk foreign key (parent_id) references parent_tab);

insert into parent_tab values (1,'Red');
insert into parent_tab values (2,'Green');
insert into parent_tab values (3,'Blue');
insert into parent_tab values (4,'Black');
insert into parent_tab values (5,'White');

insert into child_tab values (10,1,100);
insert into child_tab values (20,3,100);
insert into child_tab values (30,3,100);
insert into child_tab values (40,4,100);
insert into child_tab values (50,5,200);

commit;

select * from parent_tab
where parent_id not in (select parent_id from child_tab);

Now delete a subset of the children (ones with parents 1,3 and 4 - but not 5).

delete from child_tab where child_val = 100;

Then get the parent_ids from the current COMMITTED state of the child_tab (ie as they were prior to your deletes) and remove those that your session has NOT deleted. That gives you the subset that have been deleted. You can then delete those out of the parent_tab

delete from parent_tab
where parent_id in
  (select parent_id from child_tab as of scn dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number
  minus
  select parent_id from child_tab);

'Green' is still there (as it didn't have an entry in the child table anyway) and 'Red' is still there (as it still has an entry in the child table)

select * from parent_tab
where parent_id not in (select parent_id from child_tab);

select * from parent_tab;

It is an exotic/unusual operation, so if i was doing it I'd probably be a bit cautious and lock both child and parent tables in exclusive mode at the start of the transaction. Also, if the child table was big it wouldn't be particularly performant so I'd opt for a PL/SQL solution like Rajesh's.

Bash scripting, multiple conditions in while loop

Run class in Jar file

Use java -cp myjar.jar com.mypackage.myClass.

If the class is not in a package then simply java -cp myjar.jar myClass.
If you are not within the directory where myJar.jar is located, then you can do:
1. On Unix or Linux platforms:
  
  java -cp /location_of_jar/myjar.jar com.mypackage.myClass
2. On Windows:
  
  java -cp c:\location_of_jar\myjar.jar com.mypackage.myClass

Converting from byte to int in java

if you want to combine the 4 bytes into a single int you need to do

int i= (rno[0]<<24)&0xff000000|
       (rno[1]<<16)&0x00ff0000|
       (rno[2]<< 8)&0x0000ff00|
       (rno[3]<< 0)&0x000000ff;

I use 3 special operators | is the bitwise logical OR & is the logical AND and << is the left shift

in essence I combine the 4 8-bit bytes into a single 32 bit int by shifting the bytes in place and ORing them together

I also ensure any sign promotion won't affect the result with & 0xff

How to open a new window and insert html into it using jQuery?

Twitter Bootstrap Use collapse.js on table cells [Almost Done]

If you're using Angular's ng-repeat to populate the table hackel's jquery snippet will not work by placing it in the document load event. You'll need to run the snippet after angular has finished rendering the table.

To trigger an event after ng-repeat has rendered try this directive:

var app = angular.module('myapp', [])
.directive('onFinishRender', function ($timeout) {
return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function (scope, element, attr) {
        if (scope.$last === true) {

Node - was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51

In my case I was running nodejs instead of node. Due to nodejs being installed by the package manager:

# which node
/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v11.6.0/bin/node

# which nodejs
/usr/bin/nodejs

How do I obtain the frequencies of each value in an FFT?

The first bin in the FFT is DC (0 Hz), the second bin is Fs / N, where Fs is the sample rate and N is the size of the FFT. The next bin is 2 * Fs / N. To express this in general terms, the nth bin is n * Fs / N.

So if your sample rate, Fs is say 44.1 kHz and your FFT size, N is 1024, then the FFT output bins are at:

  0:   0 * 44100 / 1024 =     0.0 Hz
  1:   1 * 44100 / 1024 =    43.1 Hz
  2:   2 * 44100 / 1024 =    86.1 Hz
  3:   3 * 44100 / 1024 =   129.2 Hz
  4: ...
  5: ...
     ...
511: 511 * 44100 / 1024 = 22006.9 Hz

Note that for a real input signal (imaginary parts all zero) the second half of the FFT (bins from N / 2 + 1 to N - 1) contain no useful additional information (they have complex conjugate symmetry with the first N / 2 - 1 bins). The last useful bin (for practical aplications) is at N / 2 - 1, which corresponds to 22006.9 Hz in the above example. The bin at N / 2 represents energy at the Nyquist frequency, i.e. Fs / 2 ( = 22050 Hz in this example), but this is in general not of any practical use, since anti-aliasing filters will typically attenuate any signals at and above Fs / 2.

Add a linebreak in an HTML text area

I believe this will work:

TextArea.Text = "Line 1" & vbCrLf & "Line 2"

System.Environment.NewLine could be used in place of vbCrLf if you wanted to be a little less VB6 about it.

What's the best way to cancel event propagation between nested ng-click calls?

If you insert ng-click="$event.stopPropagation" on the parent element of your template, the stopPropogation will be caught as it bubbles up the tree, so you only have to write it once for your entire template.

How to configure socket connect timeout

it might be too late but there is neat solution based on Task.WaitAny (c# 5 +) :

 public static bool ConnectWithTimeout(this Socket socket, string host, int port, int timeout)
        {
            bool connected = false;
            Task result = socket.ConnectAsync(host, port);               
            int index = Task.WaitAny(new[] { result }, timeout);
            connected = socket.Connected;
            if (!connected) {
              socket.Close();
            }

            return connected;
        }

Using an HTML button to call a JavaScript function

silly way:

onclick="javascript:CapacityChart();"

You should read about discrete javascript, and use a frameworks bind method to bind callbacks to dom events.

Is there a "not equal" operator in Python?

Seeing as everyone else has already listed most of the other ways to say not equal I will just add:

if not (1) == (1): # This will eval true then false
    # (ie: 1 == 1 is true but the opposite(not) is false)
    print "the world is ending" # This will only run on a if true
elif (1+1) != (2): #second if
    print "the world is ending"
    # This will only run if the first if is false and the second if is true
else: # this will only run if the if both if's are false
    print "you are good for another day"

in this case it is simple switching the check of positive == (true) to negative and vise versa...

How to detect when cancel is clicked on file input?

We achieved in angular like below.

1. bind click event on input type file.
  1. Attach focus event with window and add condition if uploadPanel is true then show console.
  2. when click on input type file the boolean uploadPanel value is true. and dialogue box appear.
  3. when cancel OR Esc button click then dialogue box dispensary and console appear.

HTML

 <input type="file" formControlName="FileUpload" click)="handleFileInput($event.target.files)" />
          />

TS

this.uploadPanel = false;
handleFileInput(files: FileList) {
    this.fileToUpload = files.item(0);
    console.log("ggg" + files);
    this.uploadPanel = true;
  }



@HostListener("window:focus", ["$event"])
  onFocus(event: FocusEvent): void {
    if (this.uploadPanel == true) {
        console.log("cancel clicked")
        this.addSlot
        .get("FileUpload")
        .setValidators([
          Validators.required,
          FileValidator.validate,
          requiredFileType("png")
        ]);
      this.addSlot.get("FileUpload").updateValueAndValidity();
    }
  }

Converting integer to digit list

The shortest and best way is already answered, but the first thing I thought of was the mathematical way, so here it is:

def intlist(n):
    q = n
    ret = []
    while q != 0:
        q, r = divmod(q, 10) # Divide by 10, see the remainder
        ret.insert(0, r) # The remainder is the first to the right digit
    return ret

print intlist(3)
print '-'
print intlist(10)
print '--'
print intlist(137)

It's just another interesting approach, you definitely don't have to use such a thing in practical use cases.

Why does the 260 character path length limit exist in Windows?

You can enable long path names using PowerShell:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem' -Name LongPathsEnabled -Type DWord -Value 1

Another Version is to use a Group Policy in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Filesystem:

Maven Modules + Building a Single Specific Module

Any best practices here?

Use the Maven advanced reactor options, more specifically:

-pl, --projects
        Build specified reactor projects instead of all projects
-am, --also-make
        If project list is specified, also build projects required by the list

So just cd into the parent P directory and run:

mvn install -pl B -am

And this will build B and the modules required by B.

Note that you need to use a colon if you are referencing an artifactId which differs from the directory name:

mvn install -pl :B -am

As described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26439938/480894

How to "git show" a merge commit with combined diff output even when every changed file agrees with one of the parents?

Seems like answered here: https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/

So in a similar way, running

$ git diff --cc $M $M^1 $M^2 $(git merge-base $M^1 $M^2)

should show a combined patch that explains the state at $M relative to the states recorded in its parents and the merge base.

What is it exactly a BLOB in a DBMS context

BLOB :

BLOB (Binary Large Object) is a large object data type in the database system. BLOB could store a large chunk of data, document types and even media files like audio or video files. BLOB fields allocate space only whenever the content in the field is utilized. BLOB allocates spaces in Giga Bytes.

USAGE OF BLOB :

You can write a binary large object (BLOB) to a database as either binary or character data, depending on the type of field at your data source. To write a BLOB value to your database, issue the appropriate INSERT or UPDATE statement and pass the BLOB value as an input parameter. If your BLOB is stored as text, such as a SQL Server text field, you can pass the BLOB as a string parameter. If the BLOB is stored in binary format, such as a SQL Server image field, you can pass an array of type byte as a binary parameter.

ORA-12154 could not resolve the connect identifier specified

In my case, the reason for this error was that I was missing the tnsnames.ora file under client_32\NETWORK\ADMIN

Node.js Best Practice Exception Handling

Catching errors has been very well discussed here, but it's worth remembering to log the errors out somewhere so you can view them and fix stuff up.

?Bunyan is a popular logging framework for NodeJS - it supporst writing out to a bunch of different output places which makes it useful for local debugging, as long as you avoid console.log. ? In your domain's error handler you could spit the error out to a log file.

var log = bunyan.createLogger({
  name: 'myapp',
  streams: [
    {
      level: 'error',
      path: '/var/tmp/myapp-error.log'  // log ERROR to this file
    }
  ]
});

This can get time consuming if you have lots of errors and/or servers to check, so it could be worth looking into a tool like Raygun (disclaimer, I work at Raygun) to group errors together - or use them both together. ? If you decided to use Raygun as a tool, it's pretty easy to setup too

var raygunClient = new raygun.Client().init({ apiKey: 'your API key' });
raygunClient.send(theError);

? Crossed with using a tool like PM2 or forever, your app should be able to crash, log out what happened and reboot without any major issues.

How to format Joda-Time DateTime to only mm/dd/yyyy?

I am adding this here even though the other answers are completely acceptable. JodaTime has parsers pre built in DateTimeFormat:

dateTime.toString(DateTimeFormat.longDate());

This is most of the options printed out with their format:

shortDate:         11/3/16
shortDateTime:     11/3/16 4:25 AM
mediumDate:        Nov 3, 2016
mediumDateTime:    Nov 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM
longDate:          November 3, 2016
longDateTime:      November 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM MDT
fullDate:          Thursday, November 3, 2016
fullDateTime:      Thursday, November 3, 2016 4:25:35 AM Mountain Daylight Time

How to convert an address to a latitude/longitude?

Google has a geocoding API which seems to work pretty well for most of the locations that they have Google Maps data for.

http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2006/06/geocoding-at-last.html

They provide online geocoding (via JavaScript):

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding

Or backend geocoding (via an HTTP request):

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding_Direct

The data is usually the same used by Google Maps itself. (note that there are some exceptions to this, such as the UK or Israel, where the data is from a different source and of slightly reduced quality)

bodyParser is deprecated express 4

body-parser is a piece of express middleware that reads a form's input and stores it as a javascript object accessible through req.body 'body-parser' must be installed (via npm install --save body-parser) For more info see: https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser

   var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
   app.use(bodyParser.json()); // support json encoded bodies
   app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // support encoded bodies

When extended is set to true, then deflated (compressed) bodies will be inflated; when extended is set to false, deflated bodies are rejected.

Python: Get HTTP headers from urllib2.urlopen call?

What about sending a HEAD request instead of a normal GET request. The following snipped (copied from a similar question) does exactly that.

>>> import httplib
>>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.google.com")
>>> conn.request("HEAD", "/index.html")
>>> res = conn.getresponse()
>>> print res.status, res.reason
200 OK
>>> print res.getheaders()
[('content-length', '0'), ('expires', '-1'), ('server', 'gws'), ('cache-control', 'private, max-age=0'), ('date', 'Sat, 20 Sep 2008 06:43:36 GMT'), ('content-type', 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1')]

Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view because it is not full-text indexed

There is one more solution to set column Full text to true.

These solution for example didn't work for me

ALTER TABLE news ADD FULLTEXT(headline, story);

My solution.

Right click on table
Design
Right Click on column which you want to edit
Full text index
Add
Close
Refresh

NEXT STEPS

Right click on table

Click on column which you want to edit
On bottom of mssql you there will be tab "Column properties"
Full-text Specification -> (Is Full-text Indexed) set to true.

How to remove \n from a list element?

This works to take out the \n (new line) off a item in a list it just takes the first item in string off

def remove_end(s):
    templist=[]
    for i in s:
        templist.append(i)
    return(templist[0])

Creating a JSON Array in node js

You don't have JSON. You have a JavaScript data structure consisting of objects, an array, some strings and some numbers.

Use JSON.stringify(object) to turn it into (a string of) JSON text.

How can I control the width of a label tag?

You can either give class name to all label so that all can have same width :

 .class-name {  width:200px;}

Example

.labelname{  width:200px;}

or you can simple give rest of label

label {  width:200px;  display: inline-block;}

HTML5: Slider with two inputs possible?

Coming late, but noUiSlider avoids having a jQuery-ui dependency, which the accepted answer does not. Its only "caveat" is IE support is for IE9 and newer, if legacy IE is a deal breaker for you.

It's also free, open source and can be used in commercial projects without restrictions.

Installation: Download noUiSlider, extract the CSS and JS file somewhere in your site file system, and then link to the CSS from head and to JS from body:

<!-- In <head> -->
<link href="nouislider.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- In <body> -->
<script src="nouislider.min.js"></script>

Example usage: Creates a slider which goes from 0 to 100, and starts set to 20-80.

HTML:

<div id="slider">
</div>

JS:

var slider = document.getElementById('slider');

noUiSlider.create(slider, {
    start: [20, 80],
    connect: true,
    range: {
        'min': 0,
        'max': 100
    }
});

Custom Input[type="submit"] style not working with jquerymobile button

jQuery Mobile >= 1.4

Create a custom class, e.g. .custom-btn. Note that to override jQM styles without using !important, CSS hierarchy should be respected. .ui-btn.custom-class or .ui-input-btn.custom-class.

.ui-input-btn.custom-btn {
   border:1px solid red;
   text-decoration:none;
   font-family:helvetica;
   color:red;
   background:url(img.png) repeat-x;
}

Add a data-wrapper-class to input. The custom class will be added to input wrapping div.

<input type="button" data-wrapper-class="custom-btn">

Demo

jQuery Mobile <= 1.3

Input button is wrapped by a DIV with class ui-btn. You need to select that div and the input[type="submit"]. Using !important is essential to override Jquery Mobile styles.

Demo

div.ui-btn, input[type="submit"] {
 border:1px solid red !important;
 text-decoration:none !important;
 font-family:helvetica !important;
 color:red !important;
 background:url(../images/btn_hover.png) repeat-x !important;
}

Get last key-value pair in PHP array

As the key is needed, the accepted solution doesn't work.

This:

end($array);
return array(key($array) => array_pop($array));

will return exactly as the example in the question.

How to format strings in Java

The org.apache.commons.text.StringSubstitutor helper class from Apache Commons Text provides named variable substitution

Map<String, String> valuesMap = new HashMap<>();
valuesMap.put("animal", "quick brown fox");
valuesMap.put("target", "lazy dog");
String resolved = new StringSubstitutor(valuesMap).replace("The ${animal} jumped over the ${target}.");
System.out.println(resolved); // The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

"if not exist" command in batch file

if not exist "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom\" (
    mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" 2>nul
    if not errorlevel 1 (
        xcopy "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\qgisconfig" "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" /s /v /e
    )
)

You have it almost done. The logic is correct, just some little changes.

This code checks for the existence of the folder (see the ending backslash, just to differentiate a folder from a file with the same name).

If it does not exist then it is created and creation status is checked. If a file with the same name exists or you have no rights to create the folder, it will fail.

If everyting is ok, files are copied.

All paths are quoted to avoid problems with spaces.

It can be simplified (just less code, it does not mean it is better). Another option is to always try to create the folder. If there are no errors, then copy the files

mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" 2>nul 
if not errorlevel 1 (
    xcopy "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\qgisconfig" "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" /s /v /e
)

In both code samples, files are not copied if the folder is not being created during the script execution.

EDITED - As dbenham comments, the same code can be written as a single line

md "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" 2>nul && xcopy "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\qgisconfig" "%USERPROFILE%\.qgis-custom" /s /v /e

The code after the && will only be executed if the previous command does not set errorlevel. If mkdir fails, xcopy is not executed.

Best approach to real time http streaming to HTML5 video client

EDIT 3: As of IOS 10, HLS will support fragmented mp4 files. The answer now, is to create fragmented mp4 assets, with a DASH and HLS manifest. > Pretend flash, iOS9 and below and IE 10 and below don't exist.

Everything below this line is out of date. Keeping it here for posterity.

EDIT 2: As people in the comments are pointing out, things change. Almost all browsers will support AVC/AAC codecs. iOS still requires HLS. But via adaptors like hls.js you can play HLS in MSE. The new answer is HLS+hls.js if you need iOS. or just Fragmented MP4 (i.e. DASH) if you don't

There are many reasons why video and, specifically, live video is very difficult. (Please note that the original question specified that HTML5 video is a requirement, but the asker stated Flash is possible in the comments. So immediately, this question is misleading)

First I will restate: THERE IS NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR LIVE STREAMING OVER HTML5. There are hacks, but your mileage may vary.

EDIT: since I wrote this answer Media Source Extensions have matured, and are now very close to becoming a viable option. They are supported on most major browsers. IOS continues to be a hold out.

Next, you need to understand that Video on demand (VOD) and live video are very different. Yes, they are both video, but the problems are different, hence the formats are different. For example, if the clock in your computer runs 1% faster than it should, you will not notice on a VOD. With live video, you will be trying to play video before it happens. If you want to join a a live video stream in progress, you need the data necessary to initialize the decoder, so it must be repeated in the stream, or sent out of band. With VOD, you can read the beginning of the file them seek to whatever point you wish.

Now let's dig in a bit.

Platforms:

iOS
PC
Mac
Android

Codecs:

vp8/9
h.264
thora (vp3)

Common Delivery methods for live video in browsers:

DASH (HTTP)
HLS (HTTP)
flash (RTMP)
flash (HDS)

Common Delivery methods for VOD in browsers:

DASH (HTTP Streaming)
HLS (HTTP Streaming)
flash (RTMP)
flash (HTTP Streaming)
MP4 (HTTP pseudo streaming)
I'm not going to talk about MKV and OOG because I do not know them very well.

html5 video tag:

MP4
webm
ogg

Lets look at which browsers support what formats

Safari:

HLS (iOS and mac only)
h.264
MP4

Firefox

DASH (via MSE but no h.264)
h.264 via Flash only!
VP9
MP4
OGG
Webm

Flash
DASH (via MSE IE 11+ only)
h.264
MP4

Chrome

Flash
DASH (via MSE)
h.264
VP9
MP4
webm
ogg

MP4 cannot be used for live video (NOTE: DASH is a superset of MP4, so don't get confused with that). MP4 is broken into two pieces: moov and mdat. mdat contains the raw audio video data. But it is not indexed, so without the moov, it is useless. The moov contains an index of all data in the mdat. But due to its format, it can not be 'flattened' until the timestamps and size of EVERY frame is known. It may be possible to construct an moov that 'fibs' the frame sizes, but is is very wasteful bandwidth wise.

So if you want to deliver everywhere, we need to find the least common denominator. You will see there is no LCD here without resorting to flash example:

iOS only supports h.264 video. and it only supports HLS for live.
Firefox does not support h.264 at all, unless you use flash
Flash does not work in iOS

The closest thing to an LCD is using HLS to get your iOS users, and flash for everyone else. My personal favorite is to encode HLS, then use flash to play HLS for everyone else. You can play HLS in flash via JW player 6, (or write your own HLS to FLV in AS3 like I did)

Soon, the most common way to do this will be HLS on iOS/Mac and DASH via MSE everywhere else (This is what Netflix will be doing soon). But we are still waiting for everyone to upgrade their browsers. You will also likely need a separate DASH/VP9 for Firefox (I know about open264; it sucks. It can't do video in main or high profile. So it is currently useless).

How to overwrite existing files in batch?

Here's what worked for me to copy and overwrite a file from B:\ to Z:\ drive in a batch script.

echo F| XCOPY B:\utils\MyFile.txt Z:\Backup\CopyFile.txt /Y

The "/Y" parameter at the end overwrites the destination file, if it exists.

Difference between CLOB and BLOB from DB2 and Oracle Perspective?

BLOB primarily intended to hold non-traditional data, such as images,videos,voice or mixed media. CLOB intended to retain character-based data.

REST API Token-based Authentication

Let me seperate up everything and solve approach each problem in isolation:

Authentication

For authentication, baseauth has the advantage that it is a mature solution on the protocol level. This means a lot of "might crop up later" problems are already solved for you. For example, with BaseAuth, user agents know the password is a password so they don't cache it.

Auth server load

If you dispense a token to the user instead of caching the authentication on your server, you are still doing the same thing: Caching authentication information. The only difference is that you are turning the responsibility for the caching to the user. This seems like unnecessary labor for the user with no gains, so I recommend to handle this transparently on your server as you suggested.

Transmission Security

If can use an SSL connection, that's all there is to it, the connection is secure*. To prevent accidental multiple execution, you can filter multiple urls or ask users to include a random component ("nonce") in the URL.

url = username:[email protected]/api/call/nonce

If that is not possible, and the transmitted information is not secret, I recommend securing the request with a hash, as you suggested in the token approach. Since the hash provides the security, you could instruct your users to provide the hash as the baseauth password. For improved robustness, I recommend using a random string instead of the timestamp as a "nonce" to prevent replay attacks (two legit requests could be made during the same second). Instead of providing seperate "shared secret" and "api key" fields, you can simply use the api key as shared secret, and then use a salt that doesn't change to prevent rainbow table attacks. The username field seems like a good place to put the nonce too, since it is part of the auth. So now you have a clean call like this:

nonce = generate_secure_password(length: 16);
one_time_key = nonce + '-' + sha1(nonce+salt+shared_key);
url = username:[email protected]/api/call

It is true that this is a bit laborious. This is because you aren't using a protocol level solution (like SSL). So it might be a good idea to provide some kind of SDK to users so at least they don't have to go through it themselves. If you need to do it this way, I find the security level appropriate (just-right-kill).

Secure secret storage

It depends who you are trying to thwart. If you are preventing people with access to the user's phone from using your REST service in the user's name, then it would be a good idea to find some kind of keyring API on the target OS and have the SDK (or the implementor) store the key there. If that's not possible, you can at least make it a bit harder to get the secret by encrypting it, and storing the encrypted data and the encryption key in seperate places.

If you are trying to keep other software vendors from getting your API key to prevent the development of alternate clients, only the encrypt-and-store-seperately approach almost works. This is whitebox crypto, and to date, no one has come up with a truly secure solution to problems of this class. The least you can do is still issue a single key for each user so you can ban abused keys.

(*) EDIT: SSL connections should no longer be considered secure without taking additional steps to verify them.

How to determine the encoding of text?

EDIT: chardet seems to be unmantained but most of the answer applies. Check https://pypi.org/project/charset-normalizer/ for an alternative

Correctly detecting the encoding all times is impossible.

(From chardet FAQ:)

However, some encodings are optimized for specific languages, and languages are not random. Some character sequences pop up all the time, while other sequences make no sense. A person fluent in English who opens a newspaper and finds “txzqJv 2!dasd0a QqdKjvz” will instantly recognize that that isn't English (even though it is composed entirely of English letters). By studying lots of “typical” text, a computer algorithm can simulate this kind of fluency and make an educated guess about a text's language.

There is the chardet library that uses that study to try to detect encoding. chardet is a port of the auto-detection code in Mozilla.

You can also use UnicodeDammit. It will try the following methods:

An encoding discovered in the document itself: for instance, in an XML declaration or (for HTML documents) an http-equiv META tag. If Beautiful Soup finds this kind of encoding within the document, it parses the document again from the beginning and gives the new encoding a try. The only exception is if you explicitly specified an encoding, and that encoding actually worked: then it will ignore any encoding it finds in the document.
An encoding sniffed by looking at the first few bytes of the file. If an encoding is detected at this stage, it will be one of the UTF-* encodings, EBCDIC, or ASCII.
An encoding sniffed by the chardet library, if you have it installed.

Adding local .aar files to Gradle build using "flatDirs" is not working

In my case the none of the answers above worked! since I had different productFlavors just adding repositories{ flatDir{ dirs 'libs' } }

did not work! I ended up with specifying exact location of libs directory:

repositories{
flatDir{
    dirs 'src/main/libs'
}

}

Guess one should introduce flatDirs like this when there's different productFlavors in build.gradle

add id to dynamically created <div>

Here is an example of what I made to created ID's with my JavaScript.

function abs_demo_DemandeEnvoyee_absence(){

    var iDateInitiale = document.getElementById("abs_t_date_JourInitial_absence").value; /* On récupère la date initiale*/
    var iDateFinale = document.getElementById("abs_t_date_JourFinal_absence").value;     /*On récupère la date finale*/
    var sMotif = document.getElementById("abs_txt_motif_absence").value;                 /*On récupère le motif*/  
    var iCompteurDivNumero = 1;                                                         /*Le compteur est initialisé à 1 parce que la div 1 existe*/
    var TestDivVide = document.getElementById("abs_Autorisation_"+iCompteurDivNumero+"_absence") == undefined; //Boléenne, renvoie false si la div existe déjà
    var NewDivCreation = "";                                                            /*Initialisée en string vide pour concaténation*/
    var NewIdCreation;                                                                  /*Utilisée pour créer l'id d'une div dynamiquement*/
    var NewDivVersHTML;                                                                 /*Utilisée pour insérer la nouvelle div dans le html*/


    while(TestDivVide == false){                                                        /*Tant que la div pointée existe*/
        iCompteurDivNumero++;                                                           /*On incrémente le compteur de 1*/
        TestDivVide = document.getElementById("abs_Autorisation_"+iCompteurDivNumero+"_absence") == undefined; /*Abs_autorisation_1_ est écrite en dur.*/   
    }

    NewIdCreation = "abs_Autorisation_"+iCompteurDivNumero+"_absence"                   /*On crée donc la nouvelle ID de DIV*/

                                                                                        /*On crée la nouvelle DIV avec l'ID précédemment créée*/
    NewDivCreation += "<div class=\"abs_AutorisationsDynamiques_absence\" id=\""+NewIdCreation+"\">Votre demande d'autorisation d'absence du <b>"+iDateInitiale+"</b> au <b>"+iDateFinale+"</b>, pour le motif suivant : <i>\""+sMotif+"\"</i> a bien été <span class=\"abs_CouleurTexteEnvoye_absence\">envoyée</span>.</div>";

    document.getElementById("abs_AffichagePanneauDeControle_absence").innerHTML+=NewDivCreation; /*Et on concatenne la nouvelle div créée*/ 

    document.getElementById("abs_Autorisation_1_absence").style.display = 'none'; /*On cache la première div qui contient le message "vous n'avez pas de demande en attente" */

How do negative margins in CSS work and why is (margin-top:-5 != margin-bottom:5)?

A margin-top of -8px means it will be 8px higher than if it had 0 margin.

A margin-bottom of 8px means that the thing below it will be 8px further down that if it had 0 margin.

Java switch statement multiple cases

JEP 354: Switch Expressions (Preview) in JDK-13 and JEP 361: Switch Expressions (Standard) in JDK-14 will extend the switch statement so it can be used as an expression.

Now you can:

directly assign variable from switch expression,
use new form of switch label (case L ->):

The code to the right of a "case L ->" switch label is restricted to be an expression, a block, or (for convenience) a throw statement.
use multiple constants per case, separated by commas,
and also there are no more value breaks:

To yield a value from a switch expression, the break with value statement is dropped in favor of a yield statement.

Switch expression example:

public class SwitchExpression {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      int month = 9;
      int year = 2018;
      int numDays = switch (month) {
        case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 -> 31;
        case 4, 6, 9, 11 -> 30;
        case 2 -> {
          if (java.time.Year.of(year).isLeap()) {
            System.out.println("Wow! It's leap year!");
            yield 29;
          } else {
            yield 28;
          }
        }
        default -> {
          System.out.println("Invalid month.");
          yield 0;
        }
      };
      System.out.println("Number of Days = " + numDays);
  }
}

How to change language of app when user selects language?

It's excerpt for the webpage: http://android.programmerguru.com/android-localization-at-runtime/

It's simple to change the language of your app upon user selects it from list of languages. Have a method like below which accepts the locale as String (like 'en' for English, 'hi' for hindi), configure the locale for your App and refresh your current activity to reflect the change in language. The locale you applied will not be changed until you manually change it again.

public void setLocale(String lang) { 
    Locale myLocale = new Locale(lang); 
    Resources res = getResources(); 
    DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics(); 
    Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration(); 
    conf.locale = myLocale; 
    res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm); 
    Intent refresh = new Intent(this, AndroidLocalize.class); 
    finish();
    startActivity(refresh); 
}

Make sure you imported following packages:

import java.util.Locale; 
import android.os.Bundle; 
import android.app.Activity; 
import android.content.Intent; 
import android.content.res.Configuration; 
import android.content.res.Resources; 
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;

add in manifest to activity android:configChanges="locale|orientation"

How to round the minute of a datetime object

i'm using this. it has the advantage of working with tz aware datetimes.

def round_minutes(some_datetime: datetime, step: int):
    """ round up to nearest step-minutes """
    if step > 60:
        raise AttrbuteError("step must be less than 60")

    change = timedelta(
        minutes= some_datetime.minute % step,
        seconds=some_datetime.second,
        microseconds=some_datetime.microsecond
    )

    if change > timedelta():
        change -= timedelta(minutes=step)

    return some_datetime - change

it has the disadvantage of only working for timeslices less than an hour.

Using Gradle to build a jar with dependencies

To generate a fat JAR with a main executable class, avoiding problems with signed JARs, I suggest gradle-one-jar plugin. A simple plugin that uses the One-JAR project.

Easy to use:

apply plugin: 'gradle-one-jar'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.rholder:gradle-one-jar:1.0.4'
    }
}

task myjar(type: OneJar) {
    mainClass = 'com.benmccann.gradle.test.WebServer'
}

setState() inside of componentDidUpdate()

this.setState creates an infinite loop when used in ComponentDidUpdate when there is no break condition in the loop. You can use redux to set a variable true in the if statement and then in the condition set the variable false then it will work.

Something like this.

if(this.props.route.params.resetFields){

        this.props.route.params.resetFields = false;
        this.setState({broadcastMembersCount: 0,isLinkAttached: false,attachedAffiliatedLink:false,affilatedText: 'add your affiliate link'});
        this.resetSelectedContactAndGroups();
        this.hideNext = false;
        this.initialValue_1 = 140;
        this.initialValue_2 = 140;
        this.height = 20
    }

iPad Web App: Detect Virtual Keyboard Using JavaScript in Safari?

The problem is that, even in 2014, devices handle screen resize events, as well as scroll events, inconsistently while the soft keyboard is open.

I've found that, even if you're using a bluetooth keyboard, iOS in particular triggers some strange layout bugs; so instead of detecting a soft keyboard, I've just had to target devices that are very narrow and have touchscreens.

I use media queries (or window.matchMedia) for width detection and Modernizr for touch event detection.

jQuery find and replace string

You could do something like this:

HTML

<div class="element">

</div>

jQuery

$(".element span").text(function(index, text) { 
    return text.replace('am', 'am not'); 
});

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket homebrew

Since I spent quite some time trying to solve this and always came back to this page when looking for this error, I'll leave my solution here hoping that somebody saves the time I've lost. Although in my case I am using mariadb rather than MySql, you might still be able to adapt this solution to your needs.

My problem

is the same, but my setup is a bit different (mariadb instead of mysql):

Installed mariadb with homebrew

$ brew install mariadb

Started the daemon

$ brew services start mariadb

Tried to connect and got the above mentioned error

$ mysql -uroot
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

My solution

find out which my.cnf files are used by mysql (as suggested in this comment):

$ mysql --verbose --help | grep my.cnf
/usr/local/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
                        order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,

check where the Unix socket file is running (almost as described here):

$ netstat -ln | grep mariadb
.... /usr/local/mariadb/data/mariadb.sock

(you might want to grep mysql instead of mariadb)

Add the socket file you found to ~/.my.cnf (create the file if necessary)(assuming ~/.my.cnf was listed when running the mysql --verbose ...-command from above):

[client]
socket = /usr/local/mariadb/data/mariadb.sock

Restart your mariadb:

$ brew services restart mariadb

After this I could run mysql and got:

$ mysql -uroot
ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

So I run the command with superuser privileges instead and after entering my password I got:

$ sudo mysql -uroot
MariaDB [(none)]>

Notes:

I'm not quite sure about the groups where you have to add the socket, first I had it [client-server] but then I figured [client] should be enough. So I changed it and it still works.
When running mariadb_config | grep socket I get: --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] which is a bit confusing since it seems that /usr/local/mariadb/data/mariadb.sock is the actual place (at least on my machine)
I wonder where I can configure the /usr/local/mariadb/data/mariadb.sock to actually be /tmp/mysql.sockso I can use the default settings instead of having to edit my .my.cnf (but I'm too tired now to figure that out...)
At some point I also did things mentioned in other answers before coming up with this.
