Installing Python packages from local file system folder to virtualenv with pip

From the installing-packages page you can simply run:

pip install /srv/pkg/mypackage

where /srv/pkg/mypackage is the directory, containing setup.py.


Additionally1, you can install it from the archive file:

pip install ./mypackage-1.0.4.tar.gz

1 Although noted in the question, due to its popularity, it is also included.

Configuring so that pip install can work from github

You need the whole python package, with a setup.py file in it.

A package named foo would be:

foo # the installable package
+-- foo
¦   +-- __init__.py
¦   +-- bar.py
+-- setup.py

And install from github like:

$ pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/myuser/foo.git
or
$ pip install git+https://github.com/myuser/foo.git@v123
or
$ pip install git+https://github.com/myuser/foo.git@newbranch

Huge performance difference when using group by vs distinct

The two queries express the same question. Apparently the query optimizer chooses two different execution plans. My guess would be that the distinct approach is executed like:

  • Copy all business_key values to a temporary table
  • Sort the temporary table
  • Scan the temporary table, returning each item that is different from the one before it

The group by could be executed like:

  • Scan the full table, storing each value of business key in a hashtable
  • Return the keys of the hashtable

The first method optimizes for memory usage: it would still perform reasonably well when part of the temporary table has to be swapped out. The second method optimizes for speed, but potentially requires a large amount of memory if there are a lot of different keys.

Since you either have enough memory or few different keys, the second method outperforms the first. It's not unusual to see performance differences of 10x or even 100x between two execution plans.

Fastest way to convert string to integer in PHP

I've just set up a quick benchmarking exercise:

Function             time to run 1 million iterations
--------------------------------------------
(int) "123":                0.55029
intval("123"):              1.0115  (183%)

(int) "0":                  0.42461
intval("0"):                0.95683 (225%)

(int) int:                  0.1502
intval(int):                0.65716 (438%)

(int) array("a", "b"):      0.91264
intval(array("a", "b")):    1.47681 (162%)

(int) "hello":              0.42208
intval("hello"):            0.93678 (222%)

On average, calling intval() is two and a half times slower, and the difference is the greatest if your input already is an integer.

I'd be interested to know why though.


Update: I've run the tests again, this time with coercion (0 + $var)

| INPUT ($x)      |  (int) $x  |intval($x) |  0 + $x   |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|-----------|
| "123"           |   0.51541  |  0.96924  |  0.33828  |
| "0"             |   0.42723  |  0.97418  |  0.31353  |
| 123             |   0.15011  |  0.61690  |  0.15452  |
| array("a", "b") |   0.8893   |  1.45109  |  err!     |
| "hello"         |   0.42618  |  0.88803  |  0.1691   |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|-----------|

Addendum: I've just come across a slightly unexpected behaviour which you should be aware of when choosing one of these methods:

$x = "11";
(int) $x;      // int(11)
intval($x);    // int(11)
$x + 0;        // int(11)

$x = "0x11";
(int) $x;      // int(0)
intval($x);    // int(0)
$x + 0;        // int(17) !

$x = "011";
(int) $x;      // int(11)
intval($x);    // int(11)
$x + 0;        // int(11) (not 9)

How to spawn a process and capture its STDOUT in .NET?

It looks like two of your lines are out of order. You start the process before setting up an event handler to capture the output. It's possible the process is just finishing before the event handler is added.

Switch the lines like so.

p.OutputDataReceived += ...
p.Start();

Find full path of the Python interpreter?

There are a few alternate ways to figure out the currently used python in Linux is:

  1. which python command.
  2. command -v python command
  3. type python command

Similarly On Windows with Cygwin will also result the same.

kuvivek@HOSTNAME ~
$ which python
/usr/bin/python

kuvivek@HOSTNAME ~
$ whereis python
python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python3.4 /usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python3.4        /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/include/python3.4m /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz

kuvivek@HOSTNAME ~
$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3

kuvivek@HOSTNAME ~
$ command -v python
/usr/bin/python

kuvivek@HOSTNAME ~
$ type python
python is hashed (/usr/bin/python)

If you are already in the python shell. Try anyone of these. Note: This is an alternate way. Not the best pythonic way.

>>> import os
>>> os.popen('which python').read()
'/usr/bin/python\n'
>>>
>>> os.popen('type python').read()
'python is /usr/bin/python\n'
>>>
>>> os.popen('command -v python').read()
'/usr/bin/python\n'
>>>
>>>

If you are not sure of the actual path of the python command and is available in your system, Use the following command.

pi@osboxes:~ $ which python
/usr/bin/python
pi@osboxes:~ $ readlink -f $(which python)
/usr/bin/python2.7
pi@osboxes:~ $ 
pi@osboxes:~ $ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
pi@osboxes:~ $ 
pi@osboxes:~ $ readlink -f $(which python3)
/usr/bin/python3.7

Getting a list of associative array keys

Try this:

var keys = [];
for (var key in dictionary) {
  if (dictionary.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
    keys.push(key);
  }
}

hasOwnProperty is needed because it's possible to insert keys into the prototype object of dictionary. But you typically don't want those keys included in your list.

For example, if you do this:

Object.prototype.c = 3;
var dictionary = {a: 1, b: 2};

and then do a for...in loop over dictionary, you'll get a and b, but you'll also get c.

The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm - ASP.NET C# IIS TLS 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 - Win32Exception

Enabling TLS 1.0 solved our issues as well (after disabling SSL v3). (Server 2012 R2 with ASP.net 4.0 website processing against PPI pay services). This is the RegEdit script I used to set everything the way I wanted. We only disabled SSL v3 for the Client and not the server as doing that broke other things that we were not ready to deal with yet. After we upgrade the site to .Net 4.5.2 then we will disable TLS 1.0 again.

This script enables all protocols, Server and Client except for SSL v3 for the Client.

Be sure to backup your registry!

How to initialize static variables

That's too complex to set in the definition. You can set the definition to null though, and then in the constructor, check it, and if it has not been changed - set it:

private static $dates = null;
public function __construct()
{
    if (is_null(self::$dates)) {  // OR if (!is_array(self::$date))
         self::$dates = array( /* .... */);
    }
}

Double quotes within php script echo

if you need to access your variables for an echo statement within your quotes put your variable inside curly brackets

echo "i need to open my lock with its: {$array['key']}";

ModuleNotFoundError: What does it mean __main__ is not a package?

Simply remove the dot for the relative import and do:

How to check if array is empty or does not exist?

You want to do the check for undefined first. If you do it the other way round, it will generate an error if the array is undefined.

if (array === undefined || array.length == 0) {
    // array empty or does not exist
}

Update

This answer is getting a fair amount of attention, so I'd like to point out that my original answer, more than anything else, addressed the wrong order of the conditions being evaluated in the question. In this sense, it fails to address several scenarios, such as null values, other types of objects with a length property, etc. It is also not very idiomatic JavaScript.

The foolproof approach
Taking some inspiration from the comments, below is what I currently consider to be the foolproof way to check whether an array is empty or does not exist. It also takes into account that the variable might not refer to an array, but to some other type of object with a length property.

if (!Array.isArray(array) || !array.length) {
  // array does not exist, is not an array, or is empty
  // ? do not attempt to process array
}

To break it down:

  1. Array.isArray(), unsurprisingly, checks whether its argument is an array. This weeds out values like null, undefined and anything else that is not an array.
    Note that this will also eliminate array-like objects, such as the arguments object and DOM NodeList objects. Depending on your situation, this might not be the behavior you're after.

  2. The array.length condition checks whether the variable's length property evaluates to a truthy value. Because the previous condition already established that we are indeed dealing with an array, more strict comparisons like array.length != 0 or array.length !== 0 are not required here.

The pragmatic approach
In a lot of cases, the above might seem like overkill. Maybe you're using a higher order language like TypeScript that does most of the type-checking for you at compile-time, or you really don't care whether the object is actually an array, or just array-like.

In those cases, I tend to go for the following, more idiomatic JavaScript:

if (!array || !array.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or, more frequently, its inverse:

if (array && array.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

With the introduction of the optional chaining operator (Elvis operator) in ECMAScript 2020, this can be shortened even further:

if (!array?.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or the opposite:

if (array?.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

Proxy with urllib2

In addition set the proxy for the command line session Open a command line where you might want to run your script

netsh winhttp set proxy YourProxySERVER:yourProxyPORT

run your script in that terminal.

jQuery - select the associated label element of a input field

As long and your input and label elements are associated by their id and for attributes, you should be able to do something like this:

$('.input').each(function() { 
   $this = $(this);
   $label = $('label[for="'+ $this.attr('id') +'"]');
   if ($label.length > 0 ) {
       //this input has a label associated with it, lets do something!
   }
});

If for is not set then the elements have no semantic relation to each other anyway, and there is no benefit to using the label tag in that instance, so hopefully you will always have that relationship defined.

WAMP won't turn green. And the VCRUNTIME140.dll error

I had the same problem, and I solved it by installing :

NB : 64 bit installation was enough, I had to uninstall / reinstall Wamp after that

else & elif statements not working in Python

Remember that by default the return value from the input will be a string and not an integer. You cannot compare strings with booleans like <, >, =>, <= (unless you are comparing the length). Therefore your code should look like this:

number = 23
guess = int(input('Enter a number: '))  # The var guess will be an integer

if guess == number:
    print('Congratulations! You guessed it.')

elif guess != number:
    print('Wrong Number')

How do you compare two version Strings in Java?

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String version1 = "1.0";
    String version2 = "1.0.0";
    String[] version1_splits = version1.split("\\.");
    String[] version2_splits = version2.split("\\.");
    int length = version1_splits.length >= version2_splits.length ? version1_splits.length : version2_splits.length;
    int i=0;
    for(;i<length;i++){
        int version1_int = getValue(version1_splits,i);
        int version2_int = getValue(version2_splits,i);
        if(version1_int > version2_int){
            System.out.println("version1 > version2");
            break;
        }
        else if(version1_int < version2_int){
            System.out.println("version2 > version1");
            break;
        }
        else{
            if(i == length-1)
            System.out.println("version1 = version2");
        }
    }
}

private static int getValue(String[] version1_splits, int i) {
    int temp;
    try{
        temp = Integer.valueOf(version1_splits[i]);
    }
    catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e){
        temp=0;
    }

    return temp;
}

Concatenate rows of two dataframes in pandas

Thanks to @EdChum I was struggling with same problem especially when indexes do not match. Unfortunatly in pandas guide this case is missed (when you for example delete some rows)

import pandas as pd
t=pd.DataFrame()
t['a']=[1,2,3,4]
t=t.loc[t['a']>1] #now index starts from 1

u=pd.DataFrame()
u['b']=[1,2,3] #index starts from 0

#option 1
#keep index of t
u.index = t.index 

#option 2
#index of t starts from 0
t.reset_index(drop=True, inplace=True)

#now concat will keep number of rows 
r=pd.concat([t,u], axis=1)

How do I properly force a Git push?

And if push --force doesn't work you can do push --delete. Look at 2nd line on this instance:

git reset --hard HEAD~3  # reset current branch to 3 commits ago
git push origin master --delete  # do a very very bad bad thing
git push origin master  # regular push

But beware...

Never ever go back on a public git history!

In other words:

  • Don't ever force push on a public repository.
  • Don't do this or anything that can break someone's pull.
  • Don't ever reset or rewrite history in a repo someone might have already pulled.

Of course there are exceptionally rare exceptions even to this rule, but in most cases it's not needed to do it and it will generate problems to everyone else.

Do a revert instead.

And always be careful with what you push to a public repo. Reverting:

git revert -n HEAD~3..HEAD  # prepare a new commit reverting last 3 commits
git commit -m "sorry - revert last 3 commits because I was not careful"
git push origin master  # regular push

In effect, both origin HEADs (from the revert and from the evil reset) will contain the same files.


edit to add updated info and more arguments around push --force

Consider pushing force with lease instead of push, but still prefer revert

Another problem push --force may bring is when someone push anything before you do, but after you've already fetched. If you push force your rebased version now you will replace work from others.

git push --force-with-lease introduced in the git 1.8.5 (thanks to @VonC comment on the question) tries to address this specific issue. Basically, it will bring an error and not push if the remote was modified since your latest fetch.

This is good if you're really sure a push --force is needed, but still want to prevent more problems. I'd go as far to say it should be the default push --force behaviour. But it's still far from being an excuse to force a push. People who fetched before your rebase will still have lots of troubles, which could be easily avoided if you had reverted instead.

And since we're talking about git --push instances...

Why would anyone want to force push?

@linquize brought a good push force example on the comments: sensitive data. You've wrongly leaked data that shouldn't be pushed. If you're fast enough, you can "fix"* it by forcing a push on top.

* The data will still be on the remote unless you also do a garbage collect, or clean it somehow. There is also the obvious potential for it to be spread by others who'd fetched it already, but you get the idea.

    GROUP BY ID) groupedtt 
ON tt.ID = groupedtt.ID 
AND tt.Date = groupedtt.MaxDateTime

Access host database from a docker container

There are several long standing discussions about how to do this in a consistent, well understood and portable way. No complete resolution but I'll link you to the discussions below.

In any event you many want to try using the --add-host option to docker run to add the ip address of the host into the container's /etc/host file. From there it's trivial to connect to the host on any required port:

Adding entries to a container hosts file

You can add other hosts into a container's /etc/hosts file by using one or more --add-host flags. This example adds a static address for a host named docker:

 $ docker run --add-host=docker:10.180.0.1 --rm -it debian
    $$ ping docker
    PING docker (10.180.0.1): 48 data bytes
    56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=7.600 ms
    56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=30.705 ms
    ^C--- docker ping statistics ---
    2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.600/19.152/30.705/11.553 ms

Note: Sometimes you need to connect to the Docker host, which means getting the IP address of the host. You can use the following shell commands to simplify this process:

 $ alias hostip="ip route show 0.0.0.0/0 | grep -Eo 'via \S+' | awk '{ print $2 }'"
 $ docker run  --add-host=docker:$(hostip) --rm -it debian

Convert bytes to int?

Lists of bytes are subscriptable (at least in Python 3.6). This way you can retrieve the decimal value of each byte individually.

>>> intlist = [64, 4, 26, 163, 255]
>>> bytelist = bytes(intlist)       # b'@x04\x1a\xa3\xff'

>>> for b in bytelist:
...    print(b)                     # 64  4  26  163  255

>>> [b for b in bytelist]           # [64, 4, 26, 163, 255]

>>> bytelist[2]                     # 26

   a  b
a  1 NA
b NA  1
Warning message:

   $name = $request->get('_route'); // This will return the name.
?>

What is the difference between ArrayList.clear() and ArrayList.removeAll()?

clear() will be much more efficient. It will simply remove each and every item. Using removeAll(arraylist) will take a lot more work because it will check every item in arraylist to see if it exists in arraylist before removing it.

How do I find the value of $CATALINA_HOME?

Tomcat can tell you in several ways. Here's the easiest:

 $ /path/to/catalina.sh version
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Server version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.29
Server built:   Jul 3 2012 11:31:52
Server number:  7.0.29.0
OS Name:        Mac OS X
OS Version:     10.7.4
Architecture:   x86_64
JVM Version:    1.6.0_33-b03-424-11M3720
JVM Vendor:     Apple Inc.

If you don't know where catalina.sh is (or it never gets called), you can usually find it via ps:

$ ps aux | grep catalina
chris            930   0.0  3.1  2987336 258328 s000  S    Wed01PM   2:29.43 /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -Dnop -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/lib -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/endorsed -classpath /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/bin/tomcat-juli.jar -Dcatalina.base=/Users/chris/blah/blah -Dcatalina.home=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/Users/chris/blah/blah/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

From the ps output, you can see both catalina.home and catalina.base. catalina.home is where the Tomcat base files are installed, and catalina.base is where the running configuration of Tomcat exists. These are often set to the same value unless you have configured your Tomcat for multiple (configuration) instances to be launched from a single Tomcat base install.

You can also interrogate the JVM directly if you can't find it in a ps listing:

$ jinfo -sysprops 930 | grep catalina
Attaching to process ID 930, please wait...
Debugger attached successfully.
Server compiler detected.
JVM version is 20.8-b03-424
catalina.base = /Users/chris/blah/blah
[...]
catalina.home = /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.29

If you can't manage that, you can always try to write a JSP that dumps the values of the two system properties catalina.home and catalina.base.

ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher exception

My issue turned out to be something rare, but I'll mention it anyway.

I encountered the issue deploying to our development environment. On that machine, our build person had created two folders (deployed two applications). An old version and the new current version. So if you don't have two versions of your application on the web server, this does not apply to you.

The new location he created had a non-standard name as the first part of the url after the host:

net.tcp://dev.umbrellacorp.com/DifferentFolderName/MyProvider

On my local machine, my client was pointing to the standard folder name as was set up on all environments (except development), including my local environment.

net.tcp://dev.umbrellacorp.com/AppServices/MyProvider

When I blew away and replaced the web.config on development with my local copy, the part of the url that needed to be special was blown away with the standard part, so as a result the client on dev pointed to the old application.

The old application had an old contract and didn't understand the request and threw this error.

What is the difference between cache and persist?

For impatient:

Same

Without passing argument, persist() and cache() are the same, with default settings:

  • when RDD: MEMORY_ONLY
  • when Dataset: MEMORY_AND_DISK

Difference:

Unlike cache(), persist() allows you to pass argument inside the bracket, in order to specify the level:

  • persist(MEMORY_ONLY)
  • persist(MEMORY_ONLY_SER)
  • persist(MEMORY_AND_DISK)
  • persist(MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER )
  • persist(DISK_ONLY )

Voilà!

Get bitcoin historical data

Log4j: How to configure simplest possible file logging?

Here is a log4j.properties file that I've used with great success.

logDir=/var/log/myapp

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
#log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a}|%-5p|%-30c{1}| %m%n
log4j.appender.stdout.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.stdout.File=${logDir}/myapp.log
log4j.appender.stdout.append=true

The DailyRollingFileAppender will create new files each day with file names that look like this:

myapp.log.2017-01-27
myapp.log.2017-01-28
myapp.log.2017-01-29
myapp.log  <-- today's log

Each entry in the log file will will have this format:

01/30/2017 12:59:47 AM|INFO |Component1   | calling foobar(): userId=123, returning totalSent=1
01/30/2017 12:59:47 AM|INFO |Component2   | count=1 > 0, calling fooBar()

Set the location of the above file by using -Dlog4j.configuration, as mentioned in this posting:

java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/home/myapp/config/log4j.properties com.foobar.myapp

In your Java code, be sure to set the name of each software component when you instantiate your logger object. I also like to log to both the log file and standard output, so I wrote this small function.

private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger("Component1");

public static void log(org.apache.log4j.Logger logger, String message) {

    logger.info(message);
    System.out.printf("%s\n", message);
}

public static String stackTraceToString(Exception ex) {
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
    ex.printStackTrace(pw);
    return sw.toString();
}

And then call it like so:

LOGGER.info(String.format("Exception occurred: %s", stackTraceToString(ex)));

How to check if a String contains only ASCII?

From Guava 19.0 onward, you may use:

boolean isAscii = CharMatcher.ascii().matchesAllOf(someString);

This uses the matchesAllOf(someString) method which relies on the factory method ascii() rather than the now deprecated ASCII singleton.

Here ASCII includes all ASCII characters including the non-printable characters lower than 0x20 (space) such as tabs, line-feed / return but also BEL with code 0x07 and DEL with code 0x7F.

This code incorrectly uses characters rather than code points, even if code points are indicated in the comments of earlier versions. Fortunately, the characters required to create code point with a value of U+010000 or over uses two surrogate characters with a value outside of the ASCII range. So the method still succeeds in testing for ASCII, even for strings containing emoji's.

For earlier Guava versions without the ascii() method you may write:

boolean isAscii = CharMatcher.ASCII.matchesAllOf(someString);

Difference between iCalendar (.ics) and the vCalendar (.vcs)

The VCS files can have its information coded in Quoted printable which is a nightmare. The above solution recommending "VCS to ICS Calendar Converter" is the way to go.

Difference between JE/JNE and JZ/JNZ

JE and JZ are just different names for exactly the same thing: a conditional jump when ZF (the "zero" flag) is equal to 1.

(Similarly, JNE and JNZ are just different names for a conditional jump when ZF is equal to 0.)

You could use them interchangeably, but you should use them depending on what you are doing:

  • JZ/JNZ are more appropriate when you are explicitly testing for something being equal to zero:

    dec  ecx
    jz   counter_is_now_zero
    
  • JE and JNE are more appropriate after a CMP instruction:

    cmp  edx, 42
    je   the_answer_is_42
    

    (A CMP instruction performs a subtraction, and throws the value of the result away, while keeping the flags; which is why you get ZF=1 when the operands are equal and ZF=0 when they're not.)

Char array to hex string C++

You can try this code for converting bytes from packet to a null-terminated string and store to "string" variable for processing.

const int buffer_size = 2048;
// variable for storing buffer as printable HEX string
char data[buffer_size*2];
// receive message from socket
int ret = recvfrom(sock, buffer, sizeofbuffer, 0, reinterpret_cast<SOCKADDR *>(&from), &size);
// bytes converting cycle
for (int i=0,j=0; i<ret; i++,j+=2){ 
    char res[2]; 
    itoa((buffer[i] & 0xFF), res, 16);
        if (res[1] == 0) {
            data[j] = 0x30; data[j+1] = res[0];
        }else {
            data[j] = res[0]; data[j + 1] = res[1];
        }
}
// Null-Terminating the string with converted buffer
data[(ret * 2)] = 0;

When we send message with hex bytes 0x01020E0F, variable "data" had char array with string "01020e0f".

Adding class to element using Angular JS

querySelector is not from Angular but it's in document and it's in all DOM elements (expensive). You can use ng-class or inside directive add addClass on the element:

myApp.directive('yourDirective', [function(){
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
            // Remove class
            elem.addClass("my-class"); 
        }
    }
}

jQuery Ajax simple call

You could also make the ajax call more generic, reusable, so you can call it from different CRUD(create, read, update, delete) tasks for example and treat the success cases from those calls.

makePostCall = function (url, data) { // here the data and url are not hardcoded anymore
   var json_data = JSON.stringify(data);

    return $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url,
        data: json_data,
        dataType: "json",
        contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8"
    });
}

// and here a call example
makePostCall("index.php?action=READUSERS", {'city' : 'Tokio'})
    .success(function(data){
               // treat the READUSERS data returned
   })
    .fail(function(sender, message, details){
           alert("Sorry, something went wrong!");
  });

Where is the IIS Express configuration / metabase file found?

I think all the answers here are relevant however if, like me, you are looking for where Visual Studio takes the template from when it creates a new version of the applicationHost.config then you can look here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer

This happens a lot if you are often working on multiple branches of the same project and pressing 'debug' in a lot of them. Making an edit here will ensure that edit propagates to any new project/solution folders that get created.

How to deal with persistent storage (e.g. databases) in Docker

My solution is to get use of the new docker cp, which is now able to copy data out from containers, not matter if it's running or not and share a host volume to the exact same location where the database application is creating its database files inside the container. This double solution works without a data-only container, straight from the original database container.

So my systemd init script is taking the job of backuping the database into an archive on the host. I placed a timestamp in the filename to never rewrite a file.

It's doing it on the ExecStartPre:

ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker cp lanti-debian-mariadb:/var/lib/mysql /home/core/sql
ExecStartPre=-/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/tar -zcvf /home/core/sql/sqlbackup_$$(date +%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H-%%M-%%S)_ExecStartPre.tar.gz /home/core/sql/mysql --remove-files'

And it is doing the same thing on ExecStopPost too:

ExecStopPost=-/usr/bin/docker cp lanti-debian-mariadb:/var/lib/mysql /home/core/sql
ExecStopPost=-/bin/bash -c 'tar -zcvf /home/core/sql/sqlbackup_$$(date +%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H-%%M-%%S)_ExecStopPost.tar.gz /home/core/sql/mysql --remove-files'

Plus I exposed a folder from the host as a volume to the exact same location where the database is stored:

mariadb:
  build: ./mariadb
  volumes:
    - $HOME/server/mysql/:/var/lib/mysql/:rw

It works great on my VM (I building a LEMP stack for myself): https://github.com/DJviolin/LEMP

But I just don't know if is it a "bulletproof" solution when your life depends on it actually (for example, webshop with transactions in any possible miliseconds)?

At 20 min 20 secs from this official Docker keynote video, the presenter does the same thing with the database:

Getting Started with Docker

"For the database we have a volume, so we can make sure that, as the database goes up and down, we don't loose data, when the database container stopped."

How do I create a readable diff of two spreadsheets using git diff?

I don't know of any tools, but there are two roll-your-own solutions that come to mind, both require Excel:

  1. You could write some VBA code that steps through each Worksheet, Row, Column and Cell of the two Workbooks, reporting differences.

  2. If you use Excel 2007, you could save the Workbooks as Open-XML (*.xlsx) format, extract the XML and diff that. The Open-XML file is essentially just a .zip file of .xml files and manifests.

You'll end up with a lot of "noise" in either case if your spreadsheets aren't structurally "close" to begin with.

How to access my localhost from another PC in LAN?

Actualy you don't need an internet connection to use ip address. Each computer in LAN has an internal IP address you can discover by runing

ipconfig /all

in cmd.

You can use the ip address of the server (probabily something like 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x) to access the website remotely.

If you found the ip and still cannot access the website, it means WAMP is not configured to respond to that name ( what did you call me? 192.168.0.3? That's not my name. I'm Localhost ) and you have to modify ....../apache/config/httpd.conf

How to get PID by process name?

If your OS is Unix base use this code:

import os
def check_process(name):
    output = []
    cmd = "ps -aef | grep -i '%s' | grep -v 'grep' | awk '{ print $2 }' > /tmp/out"
    os.system(cmd % name)
    with open('/tmp/out', 'r') as f:
        line = f.readline()
        while line:
            output.append(line.strip())
            line = f.readline()
            if line.strip():
                output.append(line.strip())

    return output

Then call it and pass it a process name to get all PIDs.

>>> check_process('firefox')
['499', '621', '623', '630', '11733']

Encapsulation vs Abstraction?

in a simple sentence, I cay say: The essence of abstraction is to extract essential properties while omitting inessential details. But why should we omit inessential details? The key motivator is preventing the risk of change. You might consider abstraction is same as encapsulation. But encapsulation means the act of enclosing one or more items within a container, not hiding details. If you make the argument that "everything that was encapsulated was also hidden." This is obviously not true. For example, even though information may be encapsulated within record structures and arrays, this information is usually not hidden (unless hidden via some other mechanism).

Declaring variable workbook / Worksheet vba

What is the difference between call and apply?

From the MDN docs on Function.prototype.apply() :

The apply() method calls a function with a given this value and arguments provided as an array (or an array-like object).

Syntax

fun.apply(thisArg, [argsArray])

From the MDN docs on Function.prototype.call() :

The call() method calls a function with a given this value and arguments provided individually.

Syntax

fun.call(thisArg[, arg1[, arg2[, ...]]])

From Function.apply and Function.call in JavaScript :

The apply() method is identical to call(), except apply() requires an array as the second parameter. The array represents the arguments for the target method.


Code example :

_x000D_
_x000D_
var doSomething = function() {_x000D_
    var arr = [];_x000D_
    for(i in arguments) {_x000D_
        if(typeof this[arguments[i]] !== 'undefined') {_x000D_
            arr.push(this[arguments[i]]);_x000D_
        }_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    return arr;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
var output = function(position, obj) {_x000D_
    document.body.innerHTML += '<h3>output ' + position + '</h3>' + JSON.stringify(obj) + '\n<br>\n<br><hr>';_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
output(1, doSomething(_x000D_
    'one',_x000D_
    'two',_x000D_
    'two',_x000D_
    'one'_x000D_
));_x000D_
_x000D_
output(2, doSomething.apply({one : 'Steven', two : 'Jane'}, [_x000D_
    'one',_x000D_
    'two',_x000D_
    'two',_x000D_
    'one'_x000D_
]));_x000D_

Can we instantiate an abstract class?

The above instantiates an anonymous inner class which is a subclass of the my abstract class. It's not strictly equivalent to instantiating the abstract class itself. OTOH, every subclass instance is an instance of all its super classes and interfaces, so most abstract classes are indeed instantiated by instantiating one of their concrete subclasses.

If the interviewer just said "wrong!" without explaining, and gave this example, as a unique counterexample, I think he doesn't know what he's talking about, though.

SyntaxError of Non-ASCII character

You should define source code encoding, add this to the top of your script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

The reason why it works differently in console and in the IDE is, likely, because of different default encodings set. You can check it by running:

import sys
print sys.getdefaultencoding()

Using :before CSS pseudo element to add image to modal

http://caniuse.com/#search=::after

::after and ::before with content are better to use as they're supported in every major browser other than Internet Explorer at least 5 versions back. Internet Explorer has complete support in version 9+ and partial support in version 8.

Is this what you're looking for?

.Modal::after{
  content:url('blackCarrot.png'); /* with class ModalCarrot ??*/
  position:relative; /*or absolute*/
  z-index:100000; /*a number that's more than the modal box*/
  left:-50px;
  top:10px;
}

.ModalCarrot{
   position:absolute;
   left:50%;
   margin-left:-8px;
   top:-16px;
}

If not, can you explain a little better?

or you could use jQuery, like Joshua said:

$(".Modal").before("<img src='blackCarrot.png' class='ModalCarrot' />");

How do I download a binary file over HTTP?

Following solutions will first read the whole content to memory before writing it to disc (for more i/o efficient solutions look at the other answers).

content = open('http://example.com').read

Or by using net/http

require 'net/http'
File.write("file_name", Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("http://url.com")))

JSON to PHP Array using file_get_contents

You JSON is not a valid string as P. Galbraith has told you above.

and here is the solution for it.

<?php 
$json_url = "http://api.testmagazine.com/test.php?type=menu";
$json = file_get_contents($json_url);
$json=str_replace('},

]',"}

]",$json);
$data = json_decode($json);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";
?>

Use this code it will work for you.

Correctly determine if date string is a valid date in that format

I'm afraid that most voted solution (https://stackoverflow.com/a/19271434/3283279) is not working properly. The fourth test case (var_dump(validateDate('2012-2-25')); // false) is wrong. The date is correct, because it corresponds to the format - the m allows a month with or without leading zero (see: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php). Therefore a date 2012-2-25 is in format Y-m-d and the test case must be true not false.

I believe that better solution is to test possible error as follows:

function validateDate($date, $format = 'Y-m-d') {
    DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $date);
    $errors = DateTime::getLastErrors();

    return $errors['warning_count'] === 0 && $errors['error_count'] === 0;
}

Bind event to right mouse click

To disable right click context menu on all images of a page simply do this with following:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    // Disable context menu on images by right clicking
    for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++) {
        document.images[i].onmousedown = protect;
    }
});

function protect (e) {
    //alert('Right mouse button not allowed!');
    this.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;};
}

Retrieve WordPress root directory path?

There are 2 answers for this question Url & directory. Either way, the elegant way would be to define two constants for later use.

define (ROOT_URL, get_site_url() );
define (ROOT_DIR, get_theme_root() );

How to make IPython notebook matplotlib plot inline

Hibernate Query By Example and Projections

I'm facing a similar problem. I'm using Query by Example and I want to sort the results by a custom field. In SQL I would do something like:

select pageNo, abs(pageNo - 434) as diff
from relA
where year = 2009
order by diff

It works fine without the order-by-clause. What I got is

Criteria crit = getSession().createCriteria(Entity.class);
crit.add(exampleObject);
ProjectionList pl = Projections.projectionList();
pl.add( Projections.property("id") );
pl.add(Projections.sqlProjection("abs(`pageNo`-"+pageNo+") as diff", new String[] {"diff"}, types ));
crit.setProjection(pl);

But when I add

crit.addOrder(Order.asc("diff"));

I get a org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: diff exception. Workaround with this does not work either.

PS: as I could not find any elaborate documentation on the use of QBE for Hibernate, all the stuff above is mainly trial-and-error approach

How to animate GIFs in HTML document?

By default browser always plays animated gifs, and you can't change that behaviour. If gif image does not animate there can be 2 ways to look: something wrong with the browser, something wrong with the image. Then to exclude the first variant just check trusted image in your browser (run snippet below, this gif definitely animated and works in all browsers).

Your code looks OK. Can you check if this snippet is animated for you?
If YES, then something is bad with your gif, if NO something is wrong with your browser.

How can I apply a border only inside a table?

this should work:

table {
 border:0;
}

table td, table th {
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

edit:

i just tried it, no table border. but if i set a table border it is eliminated by the border-collapse.

this is the testfile:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    border-spacing: 0;
}


table {
    border: 0;
}
table td, table th {
    border: 1px solid black;
}


</style>
</head>
<body>

    <tr>
        <th>Heading 1</th>

#this is how you get the type
excType = exc.__class__.__name__

#here we are printing out information about the Exception
print 'exception type', excType
print 'exception msg', str(exc)

How to make a char string from a C macro's value?

He who is Shy* gave you the germ of an answer, but only the germ. The basic technique for converting a value into a string in the C pre-processor is indeed via the '#' operator, but a simple transliteration of the proposed solution gets a compilation error:

#define TEST_FUNC test_func
#define TEST_FUNC_NAME #TEST_FUNC

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    puts(TEST_FUNC_NAME);
    return(0);
}

The syntax error is on the 'puts()' line - the problem is a 'stray #' in the source.

In section 6.10.3.2 of the C standard, 'The # operator', it says:

Each # preprocessing token in the replacement list for a function-like macro shall be followed by a parameter as the next preprocessing token in the replacement list.

The trouble is that you can convert macro arguments to strings -- but you can't convert random items that are not macro arguments.

So, to achieve the effect you are after, you most certainly have to do some extra work.

#define FUNCTION_NAME(name) #name
#define TEST_FUNC_NAME  FUNCTION_NAME(test_func)

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    puts(TEST_FUNC_NAME);
    return(0);
}

I'm not completely clear on how you plan to use the macros, and how you plan to avoid repetition altogether. This slightly more elaborate example might be more informative. The use of a macro equivalent to STR_VALUE is an idiom that is necessary to get the desired result.

#define STR_VALUE(arg)      #arg
#define FUNCTION_NAME(name) STR_VALUE(name)

#define TEST_FUNC      test_func
#define TEST_FUNC_NAME FUNCTION_NAME(TEST_FUNC)

#include <stdio.h>

static void TEST_FUNC(void)
{
    printf("In function %s\n", TEST_FUNC_NAME);
}

int main(void)
{
    puts(TEST_FUNC_NAME);
    TEST_FUNC();
    return(0);
}

Python speed testing - Time Difference - milliseconds

Since Python 2.7 there's the timedelta.total_seconds() method. So, to get the elapsed milliseconds:

>>> import datetime
>>> a = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> b = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> delta = b - a
>>> print delta
0:00:05.077263
>>> int(delta.total_seconds() * 1000) # milliseconds

Inserting Data into Hive Table

It's a limitation of hive.

1.You cannot update data after it is inserted

2.There is no "insert into table values ... " statement

3.You can only load data using bulk load

4.There is not "delete from " command

5.You can only do bulk delete

But you still want to insert record from hive console than you can do select from statck. refer this

How to host material icons offline?

This may be an easy Solution


Get this repository that is a fork of the original repository Google published.

Install it with bower or npm

bower install material-design-icons-iconfont --save

npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save

Import the css File on your HTML Page

<style>
  @import url('node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css');
</style>

or

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css">

Test: Add an icon inside body tag of your HTML File

<i class="material-icons">face</i>

If you see the face icon, you are OK.

If does not work, try add this .. as prefix to node_modules path:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons.css">

Handling JSON Post Request in Go

I like to define custom structs locally. So:

// my handler func
func addImage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

    // define custom type
    type Input struct {
        Url        string  `json:"url"`
        Name       string  `json:"name"`
        Priority   int8    `json:"priority"`
    }

    // define a var 
    var input Input

    // decode input or return error
    err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&input)
    if err != nil {
        w.WriteHeader(400)
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "Decode error! please check your JSON formating.")
        return
    }

    // print user inputs
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Inputed name: %s", input.Name)

}

Using Razor within JavaScript

That will work fine, as long as it's in a CSHTML page and not an external JavaScript file.

The Razor template engine doesn't care what it's outputting and does not differentiate between <script> or other tags.

However, you need to encode your strings to prevent XSS attacks.

How to set column widths to a jQuery datatable?

Configuration Options:

$(document).ready(function () {

  $("#companiesTable").dataTable({
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bJQueryUI": true,
    "bAutoWidth": false, // Disable the auto width calculation 
    "aoColumns": [
      { "sWidth": "30%" }, // 1st column width 
      { "sWidth": "30%" }, // 2nd column width 
      { "sWidth": "40%" } // 3rd column width and so on 
    ]
  });
});

Specify the css for the table:

table.display {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 100%;
  clear: both;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  table-layout: fixed;         // add this 
  word-wrap:break-word;        // add this 
}

HTML:

<table id="companiesTable" class="display"> 
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Company name</th>
      <th>Address</th>
      <th>Town</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>

    <% for(Company c: DataRepository.GetCompanies()){ %>
      <tr>  
        <td><%=c.getName()%></td>
        <td><%=c.getAddress()%></td>
        <td><%=c.getTown()%></td>
      </tr>
    <% } %>

The type java.io.ObjectInputStream cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Okay, this question was a year ago but I recently got this problem as well.

So what I did :

  1. Update tomcat 7 to tomcat 8.
  2. Update to the latest java (java 1.8.0_141).
  3. Update the JRE System Library in Project > Properties > Java Build Path. Make sure it has the latest version which in my case is jre1.8.0_141 (before it was the previous version jre1.8.0_111)

When I did the first two steps it still doesn't remove the error so the last step is important. It didn't automatically change the build path for jre.

Can Windows Containers be hosted on linux?

Solution 1 - Using VirtualBox

As Muhammad Sahputra suggested in this post, it is possible to run Windows OS inside VirtualBox (using VBoxHeadless - without graphical interface) inside Docker container.

Also, a NAT setup inside the VM network configurations can do a port forwarding which gives you the ability to pass-through any traffic that comes to and from the Docker container. This eventually, in a wide perspective, allows you to run any Windows-based service on top of Linux machine.

Maybe this is not a typical use-case of a Docker container, but it definitely an interesting approach to the problem.


Solution 2 - Using Wine

For simple applications and maybe more complicated, you can try to use wine inside a docker container.

This docker hub page may help you to achieve your goal.


I hope that Docker will release a native solution soon, like they did with docker-machine on Windows several years ago.

How to add minutes to my Date

Can be done without the constants (like 3600000 ms is 1h)

public static Date addMinutesToDate(Date date, int minutes) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(date);
        calendar.add(Calendar.MINUTE, minutes);
        return calendar.getTime();
    }

public static Date addHoursToDate(Date date, int hours) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTime(date);
    calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, hours);
    return calendar.getTime();
}

example of usage:

System.out.println(new Date());
System.out.println(addMinutesToDate(new Date(), 5));

How to assign execute permission to a .sh file in windows to be executed in linux

As far as I know the permission system in Linux is set up in such a way to prevent exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

I think the best you can do is to give your Linux user a custom unzip one-liner to run on the prompt:

unzip zip_name.zip && chmod +x script_name.sh

If there are multiple scripts that you need to give execute permission to, write a grant_perms.sh as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# file: grant_perms.sh

chmod +x script_1.sh
chmod +x script_2.sh
...
chmod +x script_n.sh

(You can put the scripts all on one line for chmod, but I found separate lines easier to work with in vim and with shell script commands.)

And now your unzip one-liner becomes:

unzip zip_name.zip && source grant_perms.sh

Note that since you are using source to run grant_perms.sh, it doesn't need execute permission

JPA mapping: "QuerySyntaxException: foobar is not mapped..."

There is also another possible source of this error. In some J2EE / web containers (in my experience under Jboss 7.x and Tomcat 7.x) You have to add each class You want to use as a hibernate Entity into the file persistence.xml as

<class>com.yourCompanyName.WhateverEntityClass</class>

In case of jboss this concerns every entity class (local - i.e. within the project You are developing or in a library). In case of Tomcat 7.x this concerns only entity classes within libraries.

Removing Data From ElasticSearch

You have to send a DELETE request to

http://[your_host]:9200/[your_index_name_here]

You can also delete a single document:

http://[your_host]:9200/[your_index_name_here]/[your_type_here]/[your_doc_id]

I suggest you to use elastichammer.

After deleting you can look up if the index still exists with the following URL: http://[your_host]:9200/_stats/

Good luck!

ANTLR: Is there a simple example?

At https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.antlr you'll find an ANTLR java library with some useful helper classes and a few complete examples. It's ready to be used with maven and if you like eclipse and maven.

is a simple Expression language that can do multiply and add operations. https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.antlr/blob/master/src/test/java/com/bitplan/antlr/TestExpParser.java has the corresponding unit tests for it.

https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.antlr/blob/master/src/main/antlr4/com/bitplan/iri/IRIParser.g4 is an IRI parser that has been split into the three parts:

  1. parser grammar
  2. lexer grammar
  3. imported LexBasic grammar

https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.antlr/blob/master/src/test/java/com/bitplan/antlr/TestIRIParser.java has the unit tests for it.

Personally I found this the most tricky part to get right. See http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/ANTLR_maven_plugin

https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.antlr/tree/master/src/main/antlr4/com/bitplan/expr

How to import a jar in Eclipse

Here are the steps:

  1. click File > Import. The Import window opens.

  2. Under Select an import source, click J2EE > App Client JAR file.

  3. Click Next.

  4. In the Application Client file field, enter the location and name of the application client JAR file that you want to import. You can click the Browse button to select the JAR file from the file system.

  5. In the Application Client project field, type a new project name or select an application client project from the drop-down list. If you type a new name in this field, the application client project will be created based on the version of the application client JAR file, and it will use the default location.

  6. In the Target runtime drop-down list, select the application server that you want to target for your development. This selection affects the run time settings by modifying the class path entries for the project.

  7. If you want to add the new module to an enterprise application project, select the Add project to an EAR check box and then select an existing enterprise application project from the list or create a new one by clicking New.

    Note: If you type a new enterprise application project name, the enterprise application project will be created in the default location with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.

  8. Click Finish to import the application client JAR file.

$('body, html').css('overflow', 'hidden');
var screenWidth = $(window).width();
$('body, html').css('overflow', 'visible');

if (screenWidth > 767) {

    $(".dropdown-submenu").hover(function () {

        var dropdownPosition = $(this).offset().left + $(this).width() + $(this).find('ul').width();
        var newPosition = $(this).offset().left - $(this).find('ul').width();
        var windowPosition = $(window).width();

        var oldPosition = $(this).offset().left + $(this).width();
        //document.title = dropdownPosition;
        if (dropdownPosition > windowPosition) {
            $(this).find('ul').offset({ "left": newPosition });
        } else {
            $(this).find('ul').offset({ "left": oldPosition });
        }
    });

}

});

Override element.style using CSS

Of course the !important trick is decisive here, but targeting more specifically may help not only to have your override actually applied (weight criteria can rule over !important) but also to avoid overriding unintended elements.

With the developer tools of your browser, identify the exact value of the offending style attribute; e.g.:

"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"

or

"display: block;"

Then, decide which branch of selectors you will override; you can broaden or narrow your choice to fit your needs, e.g.:

p span

or

section.article-into.clearfix p span

Finally, in your custom.css, use the [attribute^=value] selector and the !important declaration:

p span[style^="font-family: arial"] {
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif !important;
}

Note you don't have to quote the whole style attribute value, just enough to unambigously match the string.

When to use Common Table Expression (CTE)

I use them to break up complex queries, especially complex joins and sub-queries. I find I'm using them more and more as 'pseudo-views' to help me get my head around the intent of the query.

My only complaint about them is they cannot be re-used. For example, I may have a stored proc with two update statements that could use the same CTE. But the 'scope' of the CTE is the first query only.

Trouble is, 'simple examples' probably don't really need CTE's!

Still, very handy.

Regex replace uppercase with lowercase letters

Try this

  • Find: ([A-Z])([A-Z]+)\b
  • Replace: $1\L$2

Make sure case sensitivity is on (Alt + C)

Angular JS POST request not sending JSON data

I have tried your example and it works just fine:

var app = 'AirFare';
var d1 = new Date();
var d2 = new Date();

$http({
    url: '/api/test',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    data: {application: app, from: d1, to: d2}
});

Output:

Content-Length:91
Content-Type:application/json
Host:localhost:1234
Origin:http://localhost:1234
Referer:http://localhost:1234/index.html

How to export a mysql database using Command Prompt?

The problem with all these solutions (using the > redirector character) is that you write your dump from stdout which may break the encoding of some characters of your database.

If you have a character encoding issue. Such as :

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ...

then, you MUST use -r option to write the file.

MySQL

mysqldump -u user -pyour-password-without-space-between-letter-p-and-your-password --default-character-set=utf8 --host $HOST database-name -r dump.sql

Using Docker

docker exec --rm -v $pwd:dump -it mysql:5:7 mysqldump -u user -pyour-password-without-space-between-letter-p-and-your-password --default-character-set=utf8 --host $HOST database-name -r dump/dump.sql

Note: this mounts the current path as dump inside the instance.

We found the answer here

Conversely, don't use < to import your dump into your database, again, your non-utf8 characters may not be passed; but prefer source option.

mysql -u user -pYourPasswordYouNowKnowHow --default-character-set=utf8 your-database
mysql> SET names 'utf8'
mysql> SOURCE dump.sql

How to change css property using javascript

Consider the following example: If you want to change a single CSS property(say, color to 'blue'), then the below statement works fine.

document.getElementById("ele_id").style.color="blue";

But, for changing multiple properies the more robust way is using Object.assign() or, object spread operator {...};

See below:

const ele=document.getElementById("ele_id");
const custom_style={
    display: "block",
    color: "red"
}

//Object.assign():
Object.assign(ele.style,custum_style);

Spread operator works similarly, just the syntax is a little different.

How do I get my C# program to sleep for 50 msec?

Thread.Sleep(50);

The thread will not be scheduled for execution by the operating system for the amount of time specified. This method changes the state of the thread to include WaitSleepJoin.

This method does not perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping. If you need to sleep on a thread that has STAThreadAttribute, but you want to perform standard COM and SendMessage pumping, consider using one of the overloads of the Join method that specifies a timeout interval.

Thread.Join

What is the difference between Set and List?

List:
List allows duplicate elements and null values. Easy to search using the corresponding index of the elements and also it will display elements in insertion order. Example:(linkedlist)

import java.util.*;

public class ListExample {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    List<Integer> l=new LinkedList<Integer>();
    l.add(001);
    l.add(555);
    l.add(333);
    l.add(888);
    l.add(555);
    l.add(null);
    l.add(null);

    Iterator<Integer> il=l.iterator();

    System.out.println(l.get(0));

    while(il.hasNext()){
        System.out.println(il.next());
    }

    for(Integer str : l){
        System.out.println("Value:"+str);
    }
 }

}

Output:

1
1
555
333
888
555
null
null
Value:1
Value:555
Value:333
Value:888
Value:555
Value:null
Value:null

Set:
Set isn't allow any duplicate elements and it allow single null value.It will not maintain any order to display elements.Only TreeSet will display in ascending order.

Example:(TreeSet)

import java.util.TreeSet;

public class SetExample {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    TreeSet<String> set = new TreeSet<String>();
    try {
        set.add("hello");
        set.add("world");
        set.add("welcome");
        set.add("all");

        for (String num : set) {
            System.out.println( num);

        }
        set.add(null);
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        System.out.println(e);
        System.out.println("Set doesn't allow null value and duplicate value");
    }

 }

}

Output:

all
hello
welcome
world
java.lang.NullPointerException
Set doesn't allow null value and duplicate value

Sass calculate percent minus px

Sorry for reviving old thread - Compass' stretch with an :after pseudo-selector might suit your purpose - eg. if you want a div to fill width from left to (50% + 10px) of screen you could use (in SASS indented syntax):

.example
    background: red
    +stretch(0, -10px, 0, 0)
    &:after
        +stretch(0, 0, 0, 50%)
        content: ' '
        background: blue

The :after element fills 50% to the right of .example (leaving 50% available for .example's width), then .example is stretched to that width plus 10px.

How to add bootstrap to an angular-cli project

Now with new ng-bootstrap 1.0.0-beta.5 version supports most of the native Angular directives based on Bootstrap's markup and CSS.

The only dependency required to work with this is bootstrap. No Need to use jquery and popper.js dependencies.

ng-bootstrap is to completely replaced JavaScript implementation for components. So you don't need to include bootstrap.min.js in the scripts section in your .angular-cli.json.

follow these steps when you are integrating bootstrap with generated project with angular-cli latest version.

  • Inculde bootstrap.min.css in your .angular-cli.json, styles section.

    "styles": [
       "styles.scss",
       "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
    ],
    
  • Install ng-bootstrap dependency.

    npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap
    
  • Add this to your main module class.

    import {NgbModule} from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
    
  • Include the following in your main module imports section.

    @NgModule({
       imports: [NgbModule.forRoot(), ...],
    })
    
  • Do the following also in your sub module(s) if you are going to use ng-bootstrap components inside those module classes.

    import {NgbModule} from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
    
    @NgModule({
       imports: [NgbModule, ...],
    })
    
  • Now your project is ready to use available ng-bootstrap components.

Which Ruby version am I really running?

The ruby version 1.8.7 seems to be your system ruby.

Normally you can choose the ruby version you'd like, if you are using rvm with following. Simple change into your directory in a new terminal and type in:

rvm use 2.0.0

You can find more details about rvm here: http://rvm.io Open the website and scroll down, you will see a few helpful links. "Setting up default rubies" for example could help you.

Update: To set the ruby as default:

rvm use 2.0.0 --default

Ping with timestamp on Windows CLI

You can do this in Bash (e.g. Linux or WSL):

ping 10.0.0.1 | while read line; do echo `date` - $line; done

Although it doesn't give the statistics you usually get when you hit ^C at the end.

Memory address of variables in Java

What you are getting is the result of the toString() method of the Object class or, more precisely, the identityHashCode() as uzay95 has pointed out.

"When we create an object in java with new keyword, we are getting a memory address from the OS."

It is important to realize that everything you do in Java is handled by the Java Virtual Machine. It is the JVM that is giving this information. What actually happens in the RAM of the host operating system depends entirely on the implementation of the JRE.

How to use MySQL DECIMAL?

MySQL 5.x specification for decimal datatype is: DECIMAL[(M[,D])] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]. The answer above is wrong (now corrected) in saying that unsigned decimals are not possible.

To define a field allowing only unsigned decimals, with a total length of 6 digits, 4 of which are decimals, you would use: DECIMAL (6,4) UNSIGNED.

You can likewise create unsigned (ie. not negative) FLOAT and DOUBLE datatypes.


Update on MySQL 8.0.17+, as in MySQL 8 Manual: 11.1.1 Numeric Data Type Syntax:

"Numeric data types that permit the UNSIGNED attribute also permit SIGNED. However, these data types are signed by default, so the SIGNED attribute has no effect.*

As of MySQL 8.0.17, the UNSIGNED attribute is deprecated for columns of type FLOAT, DOUBLE, and DECIMAL (and any synonyms); you should expect support for it to be removed in a future version of MySQL. Consider using a simple CHECK constraint instead for such columns.

Android - Package Name convention

But if your Android App is only for personal purpose or created by you alone, you can use:

me.app_name.app

Count all duplicates of each value

This is quite simple.

Assuming the data is stored in a column called A in a table called T, you can use

select A, count(A) from T group by A

Moment.js - tomorrow, today and yesterday

You can customize the way that both the .fromNow and the .calendar methods display dates using moment.updateLocale. The following code will change the way that .calendar displays as per the question:

moment.updateLocale('en', {
    calendar : {
        lastDay : '[Yesterday]',
        sameDay : '[Today]',
        nextDay : '[Tomorrow]',
        lastWeek : '[Last] dddd',
        nextWeek : '[Next] dddd',
        sameElse : 'L'
    }
});

Based on the question, it seems like the .calendar method would be more appropriate -- .fromNow wants to have a past/present prefix/suffix, but if you'd like to find out more you can read the documentation at http://momentjs.com/docs/#/customization/relative-time/.

To use this in only one place instead of overwriting the locales, pass a string of your choice as the first argument when you define the moment.updateLocale and then invoke the calendar method using that locale (eg. moment.updateLocale('yesterday-today').calendar( /* moment() or whatever */ ))

EDIT: Moment ^2.12.0 now has the updateLocale method. updateLocale and locale appear to be functionally the same, and locale isn't yet deprecated, but updated the answer to use the newer method.

Using JavaMail with TLS

Good post, the line

props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");

is mandatory if the SMTP server uses SSL Authentication, like the GMail SMTP server does. However if the server uses Plaintext Authentication over TLS, it should not be present, because Java Mail will complain about the initial connection being plaintext.

Also make sure you are using the latest version of Java Mail. Recently I used some old Java Mail jars from a previous project and could not make the code work, because the login process was failing. After I have upgraded to the latest version of Java Mail, the reason of the error became clear: it was a javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException, which was not thrown up in the old version of the lib.

UIScrollView not scrolling

Try to resize the content size to huge numbers. I couldn't understand why my scroll view doesn't scroll even when its content size seems to be bigger than control size. I discovered that if the content size is smaller than needed, it doesn't work also.

self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(2000, 2000);

Instead of 2000 you can put your own big numbers. And if it works, it means that your content size is not big enough when you resize.

The delegate is not necessary for scroll view to work.

Standard concise way to copy a file in Java?

To copy a file and save it to your destination path you can use the method below.

public void copy(File src, File dst) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
    try {
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);
        try {
            // Transfer bytes from in to out
            byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
            int len;
            while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                out.write(buf, 0, len);
            }
        } finally {
            out.close();
        }
    } finally {
        in.close();
    }
}

SQLite DateTime comparison

Right now i am developing using System.Data.SQlite NuGet package (version 1.0.109.2). Which using SQLite version 3.24.0.

And this works for me.

SELECT * FROM tables WHERE datetime 
BETWEEN '2018-10-01 00:00:00' AND '2018-10-10 23:59:59';

I don't net to use the datetime() function. Perhaps they already updated the SQL query on that SQLite version.

Repeating a function every few seconds

Use a timer. There are 3 basic kinds, each suited for different purposes.

Use only in a Windows Form application. This timer is processed as part of the message loop, so the the timer can be frozen under high load.

When you need synchronicity, use this one. This means that the tick event will be run on the thread that started the timer, allowing you to perform GUI operations without much hassle.

This is the most high-powered timer, which fires ticks on a background thread. This lets you perform operations in the background without freezing the GUI or the main thread.

For most cases, I recommend System.Timers.Timer.

Easiest way to make lua script wait/pause/sleep/block for a few seconds?

If you happen to use LuaSocket in your project, or just have it installed and don't mind to use it, you can use the socket.sleep(time) function which sleeps for a given amount of time (in seconds).

This works both on Windows and Unix, and you do not have to compile additional modules.

I should add that the function supports fractional seconds as a parameter, i.e. socket.sleep(0.5) will sleep half a second. It uses Sleep() on Windows and nanosleep() elsewhere, so you may have issues with Windows accuracy when time gets too low.

Find closest previous element jQuery

var link = $("#me").closest(":has(h3 span b)").find('h3 span b');

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/e27r8/

This uses the closest()[docs] method to get the first ancestor that has a nested h3 span b, then does a .find().

Of course you could have multiple matches.


Otherwise, you're looking at doing a more direct traversal.

var link = $("#me").closest("h3 + div").prev().find('span b');

edit: This one works with your updated HTML.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/e27r8/2/


EDIT: Updated to deal with updated question.

var link = $("#me").closest("h3 + *").prev().find('span b');

This makes the targeted element for .closest() generic, so that even if there is no parent, it will still work.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/e27r8/4/

How do I get the current time zone of MySQL?

Insert a dummy record into one of your databases that has a timestamp Select that record and get value of timestamp. Delete that record. Gets for sure the timezone that the server is using to write data and ignores PHP timezones.

How to paste yanked text into the Vim command line

I was having a similar problem. I wanted the selected text to end up in a command, but not rely on pasting it in. Here's the command I was trying to write a mapping for:

:call VimuxRunCommand("python")

The docs for this plugin only show using string literals. The following will break if you try to select text that contains doublequotes:

vnoremap y:call VimuxRunCommand("<c-r>"")<cr>

To get around this, you just reference the contents of the macro using @ :

vnoremap y:call VimuxRunCommand(@")<cr>

Passes the contents of the unnamed register in and works with my double quote and multiline edgecases.

How to use '-prune' option of 'find' in sh?

Adding to the advice given in other answers (I have no rep to create replies)...

When combining -prune with other expressions, there is a subtle difference in behavior depending on which other expressions are used.

@Laurence Gonsalves' example will find the "*.foo" files that aren't under ".snapshot" directories:-

find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo' -print

However, this slightly different short-hand will, perhaps inadvertently, also list the .snapshot directory (and any nested .snapshot directories):-

find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo'

The reason is (according to the manpage on my system):-

If the given expression does not contain any of the primaries -exec, -ls, -ok, or -print, the given expression is effectively replaced by:

( given_expression ) -print

That is, the second example is the equivalent of entering the following, thereby modifying the grouping of terms:-

find . \( -name .snapshot -prune -o -name '*.foo' \) -print

This has at least been seen on Solaris 5.10. Having used various flavors of *nix for approx 10 years, I've only recently searched for a reason why this occurs.

Difference between Role and GrantedAuthority in Spring Security

Like others have mentioned, I think of roles as containers for more granular permissions.

Although I found the Hierarchy Role implementation to be lacking fine control of these granular permission.
So I created a library to manage the relationships and inject the permissions as granted authorities in the security context.

I may have a set of permissions in the app, something like CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE, that are then associated with the user's Role.

Or more specific permissions like READ_POST, READ_PUBLISHED_POST, CREATE_POST, PUBLISH_POST

These permissions are relatively static, but the relationship of roles to them may be dynamic.

Example -

@Autowired 
RolePermissionsRepository repository;

public void setup(){
  String roleName = "ROLE_ADMIN";
  List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
  permissions.add("CREATE");
  permissions.add("READ");
  permissions.add("UPDATE");
  permissions.add("DELETE");
  repository.save(new RolePermissions(roleName, permissions));
}

You may create APIs to manage the relationship of these permissions to a role.

I don't want to copy/paste another answer, so here's the link to a more complete explanation on SO.

How can I delete derived data in Xcode 8?

In Xcode 8, all the derived data is automatically cleaned. If you want to do it by hand, go to Locations tab from the Preferences, locate project's derived data folder, and delete files related to the project.

In macOS 10.12 and later, Xcode cleans up stale derived data, precompiled headers, and module caches. (23282174)

To retrieve the value:

var firstName = Session["FirstName"];

What is a monad?

A very simple answer is:

Monads are an abstraction that provide an interface for encapsulating values, for computing new encapsulated values, and for unwrapping the encapsulated value.

What's convenient about them in practice is that they provide a uniform interface for creating data types that model state while not being stateful.

It's important to understand that a Monad is an abstraction, that is, an abstract interface for dealing with a certain kind of data structure. That interface is then used to build data types that have monadic behavior.

You can find a very good and practical introduction in Monads in Ruby, Part 1: Introduction.

C# find biggest number

I needed to find a way to do this too, using numbers from different places and not in a collection. I was sure there was a method to do this in c#...though by the looks of it I'm muddling my languages...

Anyway, I ended up writing a couple of generic methods to do it...

    static T Max<T>(params T[] numberItems)
    {
        return numberItems.Max();
    }

    static T Min<T>(params T[] numberItems)
    {
        return numberItems.Min();
    }

...call them this way...

    int intTest = Max(1, 2, 3, 4);
    float floatTest = Min(0f, 255.3f, 12f, -1.2f);

fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

You repository is bare, i.e. it does not have a working tree attached to it. You can clone it locally to create a working tree for it, or you could use one of several other options to tell Git where the working tree is, e.g. the --work-tree option for single commands, or the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable. There is also the core.worktree configuration option but it will not work in a bare repository (check the man page for what it does).

# git --work-tree=/path/to/work/tree checkout master
# GIT_WORK_TREE=/path/to/work/tree git status

How to add data validation to a cell using VBA

Use this one:

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim range1 As Range, rng As Range
'change Sheet1 to suit
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

Set range1 = ws.Range("A1:A5")
Set rng = ws.Range("B1")

With rng.Validation
    .Delete 'delete previous validation
    .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, _
        Formula1:="='" & ws.Name & "'!" & range1.Address
End With

Note that when you're using Dim range1, rng As range, only rng has type of Range, but range1 is Variant. That's why I'm using Dim range1 As Range, rng As Range.
About meaning of parameters you can read is MSDN, but in short:

  • Type:=xlValidateList means validation type, in that case you should select value from list
  • AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop specifies the icon used in message boxes displayed during validation. If user enters any value out of list, he/she would get error message.
  • in your original code, Operator:= xlBetween is odd. It can be used only if two formulas are provided for validation.
  • Formula1:="='" & ws.Name & "'!" & range1.Address for list data validation provides address of list with values (in format =Sheet!A1:A5)

Is true == 1 and false == 0 in JavaScript?

From the ECMAScript specification, Section 11.9.3 The Abstract Equality Comparison Algorithm:

The comparison x == y, where x and y are values, produces true or false. Such a comparison is performed as follows:

  • If Type(y) is Boolean, return the result of the comparison x == ToNumber(y).

Thus, in, if (1 == true), true gets coerced to a Number, i.e. Number(true), which results in the value of 1, yielding the final if (1 == 1) which is true.

if (0 == false) is the exact same logic, since Number(false) == 0.

This doesn't happen when you use the strict equals operator === instead:

11.9.6 The Strict Equality Comparison Algorithm

The comparison x === y, where x and y are values, produces true or false. Such a comparison is performed as follows:

  • If Type(x) is different from Type(y), return false.

Default Xmxsize in Java 8 (max heap size)

Like you have mentioned, The default -Xmxsize (Maximum HeapSize) depends on your system configuration.

Java8 client takes Larger of 1/64th of your physical memory for your Xmssize (Minimum HeapSize) and Smaller of 1/4th of your physical memory for your -Xmxsize (Maximum HeapSize).

Which means if you have a physical memory of 8GB RAM, you will have Xmssize as Larger of 8*(1/6) and Smaller of -Xmxsizeas 8*(1/4).

You can Check your default HeapSize with

In Windows:

java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr /i "HeapSize PermSize ThreadStackSize"

In Linux:

java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | grep -iE 'HeapSize|PermSize|ThreadStackSize'

These default values can also be overrided to your desired amount.

php pdo: get the columns name of a table

There is no need to do a secondary query. Just use the built in oci_field_name() function:

Here is an example:

oci_execute($stid);                  //This executes

    echo "<table border='1'>\n";
    $ncols = oci_num_fields($stid);
    echo "<tr>";
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {
            $column_name  = oci_field_name($stid, $i);
            echo "<td>$column_name</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";


    while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
            echo "<tr>\n";
            foreach ($row as $item) {
                    echo "    <td>" . ($item !== null ? htmlentities($item, ENT_QUOTES) : "&nbsp;") . "</td>\n";
            }
            echo "</tr>\n";
    }
    echo "</table>\n";

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

I got this working on Android Studio 2.1. I have a module called "Native_Ads" which is shared across multiple projects.

First, I created a directory in my Native_ads module with the name 'aars' and then put the aar file in there.

Directory structure:

libs/
aars/    <-- newly created
src/
build.gradle
etc

Then, the other changes:

Top level Gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        // For module with aar file in it
        flatDir {
            dirs project(':Native_Ads').file('aars')
        }
    }
}

App module's build.gradle file: - no changes

Settings.gradle file (to include the module):

include ':app'
include 'Native_Ads'
project(':Native_Ads').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../path/to/Native_Ads')

Gradle file for the Native_Ads module:

repositories {
    jcenter()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'aars'
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile(name:'aar_file_name_without_aar_extension', ext:'aar')
}

That's it. Clean and build.

minimum double value in C/C++

A truly portable C++ solution

As from C++11 you can use numeric_limits<double>::lowest(). According to the standard, it returns exactly what you're looking for:

A finite value x such that there is no other finite value y where y < x.
Meaningful for all specializations in which is_bounded != false.

Online demo


Lots of non portable C++ answers here !

There are many answers going for -std::numeric_limits<double>::max().

Fortunately, they will work well in most of the cases. Floating point encoding schemes decompose a number in a mantissa and an exponent and most of them (e.g. the popular IEEE-754) use a distinct sign bit, which doesn't belong to the mantissa. This allows to transform the largest positive in the smallest negative just by flipping the sign:

enter image description here

Why aren't these portable ?

The standard doesn't impose any floating point standard.

I agree that my argument is a little bit theoretic, but suppose that some excentric compiler maker would use a revolutionary encoding scheme with a mantissa encoded in some variations of a two's complement. Two's complement encoding are not symmetric. for example for a signed 8 bit char the maximum positive is 127, but the minimum negative is -128. So we could imagine some floating point encoding show similar asymmetric behavior.

I'm not aware of any encoding scheme like that, but the point is that the standard doesn't guarantee that the sign flipping yields the intended result. So this popular answer (sorry guys !) can't be considered as fully portable standard solution ! /* at least not if you didn't assert that numeric_limits<double>::is_iec559 is true */

How do I customize Facebook's sharer.php

It appears the following answer no longer works, and Facebook no longer accepts parameters on the Feed Dialog links

You can use the Feed Dialog via URL to emulate the behavior of Sharer.php, but it's a little more complicated. You need a Facebook App setup with the Base URL of the URL you plan to share configured. Then you can do the following:

1) Create a link like:

   http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=[FACEBOOK_APP_ID]' +
        '&link=[FULLY_QUALIFIED_LINK_TO_SHARE_CONTENT]' +
        '&picture=[LINK_TO_IMAGE]' +
        '&name=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_TITLE]') +
        '&caption=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_CAPTION]) +
        '&description=' + encodeURIComponent('[CONTENT_DESCRIPTION]') +
        '&redirect_uri=' + FBVars.baseURL + '[URL_TO_REDIRECT_TO_AFTER_SHARE]' +
        '&display=popup';

(obviously replace the [CONTENT] with the appropriate content. Documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed)

2) Open that link in a popup window with JavaScript on click of the share link

3) I like to create file (i.e. popupclose.html) to redirect users back to when they finish sharing, this file will contain <script>window.close();</script> to close the popup window

The only downside of using the Feed Dialog (besides setup) is that, if you manage Pages as well, you don't have the ability to choose to share via a Page, only a regular user account can share. And it can give you some really cryptic error messages, most of them are related to the setup of your Facebook app or problems with either the content or URL you are sharing.

How to initialize HashSet values by construction?

A bit convoluted but works from Java 5:

Set<String> h = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(new String[] {  
    "a", "b"
}))

Use a helper method to make it readable:

Set<String> h = asSet ("a", "b");

public Set<String> asSet(String... values) {
    return new HashSet<String>(java.util.Arrays.asList(values));
}

Git: list only "untracked" files (also, custom commands)

All previous answers which I checked would list the files to be committed, too. Here is a simple and easy solution that only lists files which are not yet in the repo and not subject to .gitignore.

git status --porcelain | awk '/^\?\?/ { print $2; }'

or

git status --porcelain | grep -v '\?\?'

Node.js create folder or use existing

Raugaral's answer but with -p functionality. Ugly, but it works:

    let fullpath = ''

    // Production directory will begin \\, test is on my local drive.
    if (dirs[0].match(/C:/i)) {
        fullpath = dirs[0] + '\\'
    }
    else {
        fullpath = '\\\\' + dirs[0] + '\\'
    }

    // Start from root directory + 1, build out one level at a time.
    dirs.slice(1).map(asdf => {
        fullpath += asdf + '\\'
        if (!fs.existsSync(fullpath)) {
            fs.mkdirSync(fullpath)
        }
    })
}//mkdirp

Ajax LARAVEL 419 POST error

You don't have any data that you're submitting! Try adding this line to your ajax:

data: $('form').serialize(),

Make sure you change the name to match!

Also your data should be submitted inside of a form submit function.

Your code should look something like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<script>_x000D_
 $(function () {_x000D_
  $('form').on('submit', function (e) {_x000D_
   e.preventDefault();_x000D_
   $.ajax({_x000D_
    type: 'post',_x000D_
    url: 'company.php',_x000D_
    data: $('form').serialize(),_x000D_
    success: function () {_x000D_
     alert('form was submitted');_x000D_
    }_x000D_
   });_x000D_
  });_x000D_
 });_x000D_
</script>
_x000D_

Replacing spaces with underscores in JavaScript?

Just using replace:

    _x000D_
new_text = text.replace(' ', '_');_x000D_
    _x000D_
console.log(new_text);
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to use Typescript with native ES6 Promises

Alternative #1

Use the target and lib compiler options to compile directly to es5 without needing to install the es6-shim. (Tested with TypeScript 2.1.4). In the lib section, use either es2016 or es2015.promise.

// tsconfig.json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "lib": [
            "es2015.promise",
            "dom"
        ]
    },
    "include": [
        "src/**/*.ts"
    ],
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Alternative #2

Use NPM to install the es6-shim from the types organization.

npm install @types/es6-shim --save-dev

Alternative #3

Before TypeScript 2.0, use typings to install the es6-shim globally from DefinitelyTyped.

npm install typings --global --save-dev
typings install dt~es6-shim --global --save-dev

The typings option uses npm to install typings globally and then uses typings to install the shim. The dt~ prefix means to download the shim from DefinitelyTyped. The --global option means that the shim's types will be available throughout the project.

How to ping an IP address

Even though this does not rely on ICMP on Windows, this implementation works pretty well with the new Duration API

public static Duration ping(String host) {
    Instant startTime = Instant.now();
    try {
        InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName(host);
        if (address.isReachable(1000)) {
            return Duration.between(startTime, Instant.now());
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // Host not available, nothing to do here
    }
    return Duration.ofDays(1);
}

running php script (php function) in linux bash

There are two ways you can do this. One is the one already mentioned, i.e.:

php -f filename.php

The second option is making the script executable (chmod +x filename.php) and adding the following line to the top of your .php file:

#!/path/to/php

I'm not sure though if a webserver likes this, so if you also want to use the .php file in a website, that might not be the best idea. Still, if you're just writing some kind of script, it is easier to type ./path/to/phpfile.php than having to type php -f /path/to/phpfile.php every time.

How to create JSON object using jQuery

Just put your data into an Object like this:

var myObject = new Object();
myObject.name = "John";
myObject.age = 12;
myObject.pets = ["cat", "dog"];

Afterwards stringify it via:

var myString = JSON.stringify(myObject);

You don't need jQuery for this. It's pure JS.

How to set the image from drawable dynamically in android?

getDrawable() is deprecated, so try this

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.fileName)

error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token

I know it is a bit late to answer this question, but it is the first entry in google, so I think it is worth to answer it.

The problem is not a coding problem, it is an architecture problem.

You have created an interface class Event: public Item to define the methods which all events should implement. Then you have defined two types of events which inherits from class Event: public Item; Arrival and Landing and then, you have added a method Landing* createNewLanding(Arrival* arrival); from the landing functionality in the class Event: public Item interface. You should move this method to the class Landing: public Event class because it only has sense for a landing. class Landing: public Event and class Arrival: public Event class should know class Event: public Item but event should not know class Landing: public Event nor class Arrival: public Event.

I hope this helps, regards, Alberto

How can I resolve the error: "The command [...] exited with code 1"?

This builds on the answer from JaredPar... and is for VS2017. The same "Build and Run" options are present in Visual Studio 2017.

I was getting, The command "chmod +x """ exited with code 1

In the build output window, I searched for "Error" and found a few errors in the same general area. I was able to click on a link in the build output, and found that the error involved this entry in the .targets file:

  <Target Name="ChmodChromeDriver" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(WebDriverPlatform)' != 'win32'">
    <Exec Command="chmod +x &quot;$(ChromeDriverSrcPath)&quot;" />
  </Target>

In the build output, I also found a more detailed error message that essentially stated that it couldn't find Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver v2.36 in the packages folder it was looking in. I checked the project's NuGet packages, and version 2.36 was indeed in the list of installed packages. I did find the package files for 2.36, and changed the attributes on the folder, subfolders and files from "Read Only" to "Read/Write". Built, but same failure. Sometimes "updating" to a different version of the package and then updating back to the original can fix this type of error. So I "updated" the reference in Manage NuGet packages to 2.37, built, failed, then "updated" back to 2.36, built, and the build succeeded without the "chmod +x" error message.

The project I was building was based on a Visual Studio Project template for Appium test tooling, template name "Develop_Automated_Test".

What is the difference between putting a property on application.yml or bootstrap.yml in spring boot?

bootstrap.yml or bootstrap.properties

It's only used/needed if you're using Spring Cloud and your application's configuration is stored on a remote configuration server (e.g. Spring Cloud Config Server).

From the documentation:

A Spring Cloud application operates by creating a "bootstrap" context, which is a parent context for the main application. Out of the box it is responsible for loading configuration properties from the external sources, and also decrypting properties in the local external configuration files.

Note that the bootstrap.yml or bootstrap.properties can contain additional configuration (e.g. defaults) but generally you only need to put bootstrap config here.

Typically it contains two properties:

  • location of the configuration server (spring.cloud.config.uri)
  • name of the application (spring.application.name)

Upon startup, Spring Cloud makes an HTTP call to the config server with the name of the application and retrieves back that application's configuration.

application.yml or application.properties

Contains standard application configuration - typically default configuration since any configuration retrieved during the bootstrap process will override configuration defined here.

Difference between long and int data types

You're on a 32-bit machine or a 64-bit Windows machine. On my 64-bit machine (running a Unix-derivative O/S, not Windows), sizeof(int) == 4, but sizeof(long) == 8.

They're different types — sometimes the same size as each other, sometimes not.

(In the really old days, sizeof(int) == 2 and sizeof(long) == 4 — though that might have been the days before C++ existed, come to think of it. Still, technically, it is a legitimate configuration, albeit unusual outside of the embedded space, and quite possibly unusual even in the embedded space.)
