Programs & Examples On #Security policy

Refused to load the font 'data:font/woff.....'it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'self'". Note that 'font-src'

For me it was because of the Chrome extension 'Grammarly'. After disabling that, I did not get the error.

Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource

I managed to allow all my requisite sites with this header:

header("Content-Security-Policy: default-src *; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; font-src 'self' data:; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' stackexchange.com");                    

What is the "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests" HTTP header?

This explains the whole thing:

The HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) upgrade-insecure-requests directive instructs user agents to treat all of a site's insecure URLs (those served over HTTP) as though they have been replaced with secure URLs (those served over HTTPS). This directive is intended for web sites with large numbers of insecure legacy URLs that need to be rewritten.

The upgrade-insecure-requests directive is evaluated before block-all-mixed-content and if it is set, the latter is effectively a no-op. It is recommended to set one directive or the other, but not both.

The upgrade-insecure-requests directive will not ensure that users visiting your site via links on third-party sites will be upgraded to HTTPS for the top-level navigation and thus does not replace the Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header, which should still be set with an appropriate max-age to ensure that users are not subject to SSL stripping attacks.

Refused to load the script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive

Adding the meta tag to ignore this policy was not helping us, because our webserver was injecting the Content-Security-Policy header in the response.

In our case we are using Ngnix as the web server for a Tomcat 9 Java-based application. From the web server, it is directing the browser not to allow inline scripts, so for a temporary testing we have turned off Content-Security-Policy by commenting.

How to turn it off in ngnix

  • By default, ngnix ssl.conf file will have this adding a header to the response:

    #> grep 'Content-Security' -ir /etc/nginx/global/ssl.conf add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'; script-src 'self'; img-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; base-uri 'self'; form-action 'self';";

  • If you just comment this line and restart ngnix, it should not be adding the header to the response.

If you are concerned about security or in production please do not follow this, use these steps as only for testing purpose and moving on.

How does Content Security Policy (CSP) work?

The Content-Security-Policy meta-tag allows you to reduce the risk of XSS attacks by allowing you to define where resources can be loaded from, preventing browsers from loading data from any other locations. This makes it harder for an attacker to inject malicious code into your site.

I banged my head against a brick wall trying to figure out why I was getting CSP errors one after another, and there didn't seem to be any concise, clear instructions on just how does it work. So here's my attempt at explaining some points of CSP briefly, mostly concentrating on the things I found hard to solve.

For brevity I won’t write the full tag in each sample. Instead I'll only show the content property, so a sample that says content="default-src 'self'" means this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'">

1. How can I allow multiple sources?

You can simply list your sources after a directive as a space-separated list:

content="default-src 'self' https://example.com/js/"

Note that there are no quotes around parameters other than the special ones, like 'self'. Also, there's no colon (:) after the directive. Just the directive, then a space-separated list of parameters.

Everything below the specified parameters is implicitly allowed. That means that in the example above these would be valid sources:

https://example.com/js/file.js
https://example.com/js/subdir/anotherfile.js

These, however, would not be valid:

http://example.com/js/file.js
^^^^ wrong protocol

https://example.com/file.js
                   ^^ above the specified path

2. How can I use different directives? What do they each do?

The most common directives are:

  • default-src the default policy for loading javascript, images, CSS, fonts, AJAX requests, etc
  • script-src defines valid sources for javascript files
  • style-src defines valid sources for css files
  • img-src defines valid sources for images
  • connect-src defines valid targets for to XMLHttpRequest (AJAX), WebSockets or EventSource. If a connection attempt is made to a host that's not allowed here, the browser will emulate a 400 error

There are others, but these are the ones you're most likely to need.

3. How can I use multiple directives?

You define all your directives inside one meta-tag by terminating them with a semicolon (;):

content="default-src 'self' https://example.com/js/; style-src 'self'"

4. How can I handle ports?

Everything but the default ports needs to be allowed explicitly by adding the port number or an asterisk after the allowed domain:

content="default-src 'self' https://ajax.googleapis.com http://example.com:123/free/stuff/"

The above would result in:

https://ajax.googleapis.com:123
                           ^^^^ Not ok, wrong port

https://ajax.googleapis.com - OK

http://example.com/free/stuff/file.js
                 ^^ Not ok, only the port 123 is allowed

http://example.com:123/free/stuff/file.js - OK

As I mentioned, you can also use an asterisk to explicitly allow all ports:

content="default-src example.com:*"

5. How can I handle different protocols?

By default, only standard protocols are allowed. For example to allow WebSockets ws:// you will have to allow it explicitly:

content="default-src 'self'; connect-src ws:; style-src 'self'"
                                         ^^^ web Sockets are now allowed on all domains and ports.

6. How can I allow the file protocol file://?

If you'll try to define it as such it won’t work. Instead, you'll allow it with the filesystem parameter:

content="default-src filesystem"

7. How can I use inline scripts and style definitions?

Unless explicitly allowed, you can't use inline style definitions, code inside <script> tags or in tag properties like onclick. You allow them like so:

content="script-src 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'unsafe-inline'"

You'll also have to explicitly allow inline, base64 encoded images:

content="img-src data:"

8. How can I allow eval()?

I'm sure many people would say that you don't, since 'eval is evil' and the most likely cause for the impending end of the world. Those people would be wrong. Sure, you can definitely punch major holes into your site's security with eval, but it has perfectly valid use cases. You just have to be smart about using it. You allow it like so:

content="script-src 'unsafe-eval'"

9. What exactly does 'self' mean?

You might take 'self' to mean localhost, local filesystem, or anything on the same host. It doesn't mean any of those. It means sources that have the same scheme (protocol), same host, and same port as the file the content policy is defined in. Serving your site over HTTP? No https for you then, unless you define it explicitly.

I've used 'self' in most examples as it usually makes sense to include it, but it's by no means mandatory. Leave it out if you don't need it.

But hang on a minute! Can't I just use content="default-src *" and be done with it?

No. In addition to the obvious security vulnerabilities, this also won’t work as you'd expect. Even though some docs claim it allows anything, that's not true. It doesn't allow inlining or evals, so to really, really make your site extra vulnerable, you would use this:

content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'"

... but I trust you won’t.

"No Content-Security-Policy meta tag found." error in my phonegap application

You have to add a CSP meta tag in the head section of your app's index.html

As per https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist#content-security-policy

Content Security Policy

Controls which network requests (images, XHRs, etc) are allowed to be made (via webview directly).

On Android and iOS, the network request whitelist (see above) is not able to filter all types of requests (e.g. <video> & WebSockets are not blocked). So, in addition to the whitelist, you should use a Content Security Policy <meta> tag on all of your pages.

On Android, support for CSP within the system webview starts with KitKat (but is available on all versions using Crosswalk WebView).

Here are some example CSP declarations for your .html pages:

<!-- Good default declaration:
    * gap: is required only on iOS (when using UIWebView) and is needed for JS->native communication
    * https://ssl.gstatic.com is required only on Android and is needed for TalkBack to function properly
    * Disables use of eval() and inline scripts in order to mitigate risk of XSS vulnerabilities. To change this:
        * Enable inline JS: add 'unsafe-inline' to default-src
        * Enable eval(): add 'unsafe-eval' to default-src
-->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' data: gap: https://ssl.gstatic.com; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *">

<!-- Allow requests to foo.com -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' foo.com">

<!-- Enable all requests, inline styles, and eval() -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'">

<!-- Allow XHRs via https only -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' https:">

<!-- Allow iframe to https://cordova.apache.org/ -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; frame-src 'self' https://cordova.apache.org">

Content Security Policy "data" not working for base64 Images in Chrome 28

Try this

data to load:

<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 4 5'><path fill='#343a40' d='M2 0L0 2h4zm0 5L0 3h4z'/></svg>

get a utf8 to base64 convertor and convert the "svg" string to:

PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0naHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmcnIHZpZXdCb3g9JzAgMCA0IDUn
PjxwYXRoIGZpbGw9JyMzNDNhNDAnIGQ9J00yIDBMMCAyaDR6bTAgNUwwIDNoNHonLz48L3N2Zz4=

and the CSP is

img-src data: image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0naHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmcnIHZpZXdCb3g9JzAgMCA0IDUn

7-Zip command to create and extract a password-protected ZIP file on Windows?

From http://www.dotnetperls.com:

7z a secure.7z * -pSECRET

Where:

7z        : name and path of 7-Zip executable
a         : add to archive
secure.7z : name of destination archive
*         : add all files from current directory to destination archive
-pSECRET  : specify the password "SECRET"

To open :

7z x secure.7z

Then provide the SECRET password

Note: If the password contains spaces or special characters, then enclose it with single quotes

7z a secure.7z * -p"pa$$word @|"

Routing with Multiple Parameters using ASP.NET MVC

You can pass arbitrary parameters through the query string, but you can also set up custom routes to handle it in a RESTful way:

http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.getimages&artist=cher&
                                  api_key=b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026

That could be:

routes.MapRoute(
    "ArtistsImages",
    "{ws}/artists/{artist}/{action}/{*apikey}",
    new { ws = "2.0", controller="artists" artist = "", action="", apikey="" }
    );

So if someone used the following route:

ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/artists/cher/images/b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026/

It would take them to the same place your example querystring did.

The above is just an example, and doesn't apply the business rules and constraints you'd have to set up to make sure people didn't 'hack' the URL.

Make absolute positioned div expand parent div height

I had a similar problem. To solve this (instead of calculate the iframe's height using the body, document or window) I created a div that wraps the whole page content (a div with an id="page" for example) and then I used its height.

Put text at bottom of div

Thanks @Harry the following code works for me:

.your-div{
   vertical-align: bottom;
   display: table-cell;
}

Retrieve last 100 lines logs

len=`cat filename | wc -l`
len=$(( $len + 1 ))
l=$(( $len - 99 ))
sed -n "${l},${len}p" filename

first line takes the length (Total lines) of file then +1 in the total lines after that we have to fatch 100 records so, -99 from total length then just put the variables in the sed command to fetch the last 100 lines from file

I hope this will help you.

Exit while loop by user hitting ENTER key

Use a print statement to see what raw_input returns when you hit enter. Then change your test to compare to that.

Print raw string from variable? (not getting the answers)

You can't turn an existing string "raw". The r prefix on literals is understood by the parser; it tells it to ignore escape sequences in the string. However, once a string literal has been parsed, there's no difference between a raw string and a "regular" one. If you have a string that contains a newline, for instance, there's no way to tell at runtime whether that newline came from the escape sequence \n, from a literal newline in a triple-quoted string (perhaps even a raw one!), from calling chr(10), by reading it from a file, or whatever else you might be able to come up with. The actual string object constructed from any of those methods looks the same.

How do I set the figure title and axes labels font size in Matplotlib?

If you're more used to using ax objects to do your plotting, you might find the ax.xaxis.label.set_size() easier to remember, or at least easier to find using tab in an ipython terminal. It seems to need a redraw operation after to see the effect. For example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# set up a plot with dummy data
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x = [0, 1, 2]
y = [0, 3, 9]
ax.plot(x,y)

# title and labels, setting initial sizes
fig.suptitle('test title', fontsize=12)
ax.set_xlabel('xlabel', fontsize=10)
ax.set_ylabel('ylabel', fontsize='medium')   # relative to plt.rcParams['font.size']

# setting label sizes after creation
ax.xaxis.label.set_size(20)
plt.draw()

I don't know of a similar way to set the suptitle size after it's created.

Convert CString to const char*

I recommendo to you use TtoC from ConvUnicode.h

const CString word= "hello";
const char* myFile = TtoC(path.GetString());

It is a macro to do conversions per Unicode

Storing a file in a database as opposed to the file system?

I'd say, it depends on your situation. For example, I work in local government, and we have lots of images like mugshots, etc. We don't have a high number of users, but we need to have good security and auditing around the data. The database is a better solution for us since it makes this easier and we aren't going to run into scaling problems.

How to give a Linux user sudo access?

Edit /etc/sudoers file either manually or using the visudo application. Remember: System reads /etc/sudoers file from top to the bottom, so you could overwrite a particular setting by putting the next one below. So to be on the safe side - define your access setting at the bottom.

How to return data from PHP to a jQuery ajax call

I figured it out. Need to use echo in PHP instead of return.

<?php 
  $output = some_function();
  echo $output;
?> 

And the jQ:

success: function(data) {
  doSomething(data);
}

ie8 var w= window.open() - "Message: Invalid argument."

Hi using the following code its working...

onclick="window.open('privacy_policy.php','','width=1200,height=800,scrollbars=yes');

Previously i Entered like

onclick="window.open('privacy_policy.php','Window title','width=1200,height=800,scrollbars=yes');

Means Microsoft does not allow you to enter window name it should be blank in window.open function...

Thanks, Nilesh Pangul

Remove object from a list of objects in python

How do I manually configure a DataSource in Java?

DataSource is vendor-specific, for MySql you could use MysqlDataSource which is provided in the MySql Java connector jar:

    MysqlDataSource dataSource = new MysqlDataSource();
    dataSource.setDatabaseName("xyz");
    dataSource.setUser("xyz");
    dataSource.setPassword("xyz");
    dataSource.setServerName("xyz.yourdomain.com");

Curl to return http status code along with the response

This command

 curl http://localhost -w ", %{http_code}"

will get the comma separated body and status; you can split them to get them out.

You can change the delimiter as you like.

Renaming column names of a DataFrame in Spark Scala

Sometime we have the column name is below format in SQLServer or MySQL table

Ex  : Account Number,customer number

But Hive tables do not support column name containing spaces, so please use below solution to rename your old column names.

Solution:

val renamedColumns = df.columns.map(c => df(c).as(c.replaceAll(" ", "_").toLowerCase()))
df = df.select(renamedColumns: _*)

The project description file (.project) for my project is missing

I am using Eclipse 3.5.1 on Ubuntu. After rebooting my machine my projects in PHP Explorer view were giving the warning that the .project file was missing. The problem was that the external directory where my projects are hosted was not mounted on reboot. So I did a mount -a from the command line and the Eclipse recognized the files.

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

This kind of logic could be implemented using EXISTS:

CREATE TABLE tab(a INT, b VARCHAR(10));
INSERT INTO tab(a,b) VALUES(1,'a'),(1, NULL),(NULL, 'a'),(2,'b');

Query:

DECLARE @a INT;

--SET @a = 1;    -- specific NOT NULL value
--SET @a = NULL; -- NULL value
--SET @a = -1;   -- all values

SELECT *
FROM tab t
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT t.a INTERSECT SELECT @a UNION SELECT @a WHERE @a = '-1');

db<>fiddle demo

It could be extended to contain multiple params:

SELECT *
FROM tab t
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT t.a INTERSECT SELECT @a UNION SELECT @a WHERE @a = '-1')
  AND EXISTS(SELECT t.b INTERSECT SELECT @b UNION SELECT @a WHERE @b = '-1');

Check if property has attribute

There's no fast way to retrieve attributes. But code ought to look like this (credit to Aaronaught):

var t = typeof(YourClass);
var pi = t.GetProperty("Id");
var hasIsIdentity = Attribute.IsDefined(pi, typeof(IsIdentity));

If you need to retrieve attribute properties then

var t = typeof(YourClass);
var pi = t.GetProperty("Id");
var attr = (IsIdentity[])pi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(IsIdentity), false);
if (attr.Length > 0) {
    // Use attr[0], you'll need foreach on attr if MultiUse is true
}

Resize external website content to fit iFrame width

What you can do is set specific width and height to your iframe (for example these could be equal to your window dimensions) and then applying a scale transformation to it. The scale value will be the ratio between your window width and the dimension you wanted to set to your iframe.

E.g.

<iframe width="1024" height="768" src="http://www.bbc.com" style="-webkit-transform:scale(0.5);-moz-transform-scale(0.5);"></iframe>

How to evaluate http response codes from bash/shell script?

works. If not, you have to hit return to view the code itself.

MySQL: Error Code: 1118 Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB

If you're getting this error on Google Cloud SQL (mysql 5.7 for example) then it's probably not at this time going to be a simple fix as not all InnoDB flags are supported. If you're coming across from Mysql 5.5 as I was (for an old Wordpress setup) this could mean you need to wrangle some column types in the source database before you export.

Some more information can be found here.

curl_exec() always returns false

Error checking and handling is the programmer's friend. Check the return values of the initializing and executing cURL functions. curl_error() and curl_errno() will contain further information in case of failure:

try {
    $ch = curl_init();

    // Check if initialization had gone wrong*    
    if ($ch === false) {
        throw new Exception('failed to initialize');
    }

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt(/* ... */);

    $content = curl_exec($ch);

    // Check the return value of curl_exec(), too
    if ($content === false) {
        throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), curl_errno($ch));
    }

    /* Process $content here */

    // Close curl handle
    curl_close($ch);
} catch(Exception $e) {

    trigger_error(sprintf(
        'Curl failed with error #%d: %s',
        $e->getCode(), $e->getMessage()),
        E_USER_ERROR);

}

* The curl_init() manual states:

Returns a cURL handle on success, FALSE on errors.

I've observed the function to return FALSE when you're using its $url parameter and the domain could not be resolved. If the parameter is unused, the function might never return FALSE. Always check it anyways, though, since the manual doesn't clearly state what "errors" actually are.

How do I prevent an Android device from going to sleep programmatically?

If you just want to prevent the sleep mode on a specific View, just call setKeepScreenOn(true) on that View or set the keepScreenOn property to true. This will prevent the screen from going off while the View is on the screen. No special permission required for this.

How to print the array?

You could try this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() 
{  
  int i,j;
  int my_array[3][3] ={10, 23, 42, 1, 654, 0, 40652, 22, 0};
  for(i = 0; i < 3; i++) 
  {
       for(j = 0; j < 3; j++) 
       {
         printf("%d ", my_array[i][j]);
       }
    printf("\n");
  } 
  return 0;
}

How do I create a table based on another table

There is no such syntax in SQL Server, though CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT does exist in PDW. In SQL Server you can use this query to create an empty table:

SELECT * INTO schema.newtable FROM schema.oldtable WHERE 1 = 0;

(If you want to make a copy of the table including all of the data, then leave out the WHERE clause.)

Note that this creates the same column structure (including an IDENTITY column if one exists) but it does not copy any indexes, constraints, triggers, etc.

Declaring variables inside or outside of a loop

Declaring objects in the smallest scope improve readability.

Performance doesn't matter for today's compilers.(in this scenario)
From a maintenance perspective, 2nd option is better.
Declare and initialize variables in the same place, in the narrowest scope possible.

As Donald Ervin Knuth told:

"We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil"

i.e) situation where a programmer lets performance considerations affect the design of a piece of code. This can result in a design that is not as clean as it could have been or code that is incorrect, because the code is complicated by the optimization and the programmer is distracted by optimizing.

pythonic way to do something N times without an index variable?

Use the _ variable, as I learned when I asked this question, for example:

for _ in xrange(power):
    product *= num
print product

Android, Java: HTTP POST Request

Here's an example previously found at androidsnippets.com (the site is currently not maintained anymore).

// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");

try {

    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
    httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

    // Execute HTTP Post Request

So, you can add your parameters as BasicNameValuePair.

An alternative is to use (Http)URLConnection. See also Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests. This is actually the preferred method in newer Android versions (Gingerbread+). See also this blog, this developer doc and Android's HttpURLConnection javadoc.

Round to 5 (or other number) in Python

You can “trick” int() into rounding off instead of rounding down by adding 0.5 to the number you pass to int().

How to fetch Java version using single line command in Linux

Since (at least on my linux system) the version string looks like "1.8.0_45":

 #!/bin/bash
 function checkJavaVers {
    for token in $(java -version 2>&1)
    do
        if [[ $token =~ \"([[:digit:]])\.([[:digit:]])\.(.*)\" ]]
        then
            export JAVA_MAJOR=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
            export JAVA_MINOR=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
            export JAVA_BUILD=${BASH_REMATCH[3]}
            return 0
        fi
    done
    return 1
}

#test
checkJavaVers || { echo "check failed" ; exit; }
echo "$JAVA_MAJOR $JAVA_MINOR $JAVA_BUILD"

setImmediate vs. nextTick

Use setImmediate if you want to queue the function behind whatever I/O event callbacks that are already in the event queue. Use process.nextTick to effectively queue the function at the head of the event queue so that it executes immediately after the current function completes.

So in a case where you're trying to break up a long running, CPU-bound job using recursion, you would now want to use setImmediate rather than process.nextTick to queue the next iteration as otherwise any I/O event callbacks wouldn't get the chance to run between iterations.

What is the difference between C and embedded C?

1: C is a type of computer programming language. While embedded C is a set of language extensions for the C Programming language.

2: C has a free-format program source code, in a desktop computer. while embedded C has different format based on embedded processor (micro- controllers/microprocessors).

3: C have normal optimization, in programming. while embedded C high level optimization in programming.

4: C programming must have required operating system. while embedded C may or may not be required operating system.

5: C can use resources from OS, memory, etc, i.e all resources from desktop computer can be used by C. while embedded C can use limited resources, like RAM, ROM, and I/Os on an embedded processor.

Reduce left and right margins in matplotlib plot

inspired by Sammys answer above:

margins = {  #     vvv margin in inches
    "left"   :     1.5 / figsize[0],
    "bottom" :     0.8 / figsize[1],
    "right"  : 1 - 0.3 / figsize[0],
    "top"    : 1 - 1   / figsize[1]
}
fig.subplots_adjust(**margins)

Where figsize is the tuple that you used in fig = pyplot.figure(figsize=...)

GoogleTest: How to skip a test?

I prefer to do it in code:

// Run a specific test only
//testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "MyLibrary.TestReading"; // I'm testing a new feature, run something quickly

// Exclude a specific test
testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "-MyLibrary.TestWriting"; // The writing test is broken, so skip it

I can either comment out both lines to run all tests, uncomment out the first line to test a single feature that I'm investigating/working on, or uncomment the second line if a test is broken but I want to test everything else.
You can also test/exclude a suite of features by using wildcards and writing a list, "MyLibrary.TestNetwork*" or "-MyLibrary.TestFileSystem*".

What is Shelving in TFS?

One point that is missed in a lot of these discussions is how you revert back on the SAME machine on which you shelved your changes. Perhaps obvious to most, but wasn't to me. I believe you perform an Undo Pending Changes - is that right?

I understand the process to be as follows:

  1. To shelve your current pending changes, right click the project, Shelve, add a shelve name
  2. This will save (or Shelve) the changes to the server (no-one will see them)
  3. You then do Undo Pending Changes to revert your code back to the last check-in point
  4. You can then do what you need to do with the reverted code baseline
  5. You can Unshelve the changes at any time (may require some merge confliction)

So, if you want to start some work which you may need to Shelve, make sure you check-in before you start, as the check-in point is where you'll return to when doing the Undo Pending Changes step above.

Best Practice: Access form elements by HTML id or name attribute?

name field works well. It provides a reference to the elements.

parent.children - Will list all elements with a name field of the parent. parent.elements - Will list only form elements such as input-text, text-area, etc

_x000D_
_x000D_
var form = document.getElementById('form-1');_x000D_
console.log(form.children.firstname)_x000D_
console.log(form.elements.firstname)_x000D_
console.log(form.elements.progressBar); // undefined_x000D_
console.log(form.children.progressBar);_x000D_
console.log(form.elements.submit); // undefined
_x000D_
<form id="form-1">_x000D_
  <input type="text" name="firstname" />_x000D_
  <input type="file" name="file" />_x000D_
  <progress name="progressBar" value="20" min="0" max="100" />_x000D_
  <textarea name="address"></textarea>_x000D_
  <input type="submit" name="submit" />_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note: For .elements to work, the parent needs to be a <form> tag. Whereas, .children will work on any HTML-element - such as <div>, <span>, etc.

How do I resolve "Please make sure that the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component"?

Look here for the answer by TheMattster. I implemented it and it worked like a charm. In a nutshell, his solution suggests to add the COM dll as a resource to the project (so now it compiles into the project's dll), and upon the first run write it to a file (i.e. the dll file I wanted there in the first place).

The following is taken from his answer.

Step 1) Add the DLL as a resource (below as "Resources.DllFile"). To do this open project properties, select the resources tab, select "add existing file" and add the DLL as a resource.

Step 2) Add the name of the DLL as a string resource (below as "Resources.DllName").

Step 3) Add this code to your main form-load:

if (!File.Exists(Properties.Resources.DllName))
{
    var outStream = new StreamWriter(Properties.Resources.DllName, false);
    var binStream = new BinaryWriter(outStream.BaseStream);
    binStream.Write(Properties.Resources.DllFile);
    binStream.Close();
}

My problem was that not only I had to use the COM dll in my project, I also had to deploy it with my app using ClickOnce, and without being able to add reference to it in my project the above solution is practically the only one that worked.

How do I disable the security certificate check in Python requests

To add to Blender's answer, you can disable SSL certificate validation for all requests using Session.verify = False

import requests

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False
session.post(url='https://example.com', data={'bar':'baz'})

Note that urllib3, (which Requests uses), strongly discourages making unverified HTTPS requests and will raise an InsecureRequestWarning.

Python: How to increase/reduce the fontsize of x and y tick labels?

One shouldn't use set_yticklabels to change the fontsize, since this will also set the labels (i.e. it will replace any automatic formatter by a FixedFormatter), which is usually undesired. The easiest is to set the respective tick_params:

ax.tick_params(axis="x", labelsize=8)
ax.tick_params(axis="y", labelsize=20)

or

ax.tick_params(labelsize=8)

in case both axes shall have the same size.

Of course using the rcParams as in @tmdavison's answer is possible as well.

Angular2 module has no exported member

This error can also occur if your interface name is different than the file it is contained in. Read about ES6 modules for details. If the SignInComponent was an interface, as was in my case, then

JNI and Gradle in Android Studio

My issue on OSX it was gradle version. Gradle was ignoring my Android.mk. So, in order to override this option, and use my make instead, I have entered this line:

inside of the android tag in build.gradle.

I have wasted lot of time on this!

Powershell script to see currently logged in users (domain and machine) + status (active, idle, away)

Since we're in the PowerShell area, it's extra useful if we can return a proper PowerShell object ...

I personally like this method of parsing, for the terseness:

((quser) -replace '^>', '') -replace '\s{2,}', ',' | ConvertFrom-Csv

Note: this doesn't account for disconnected ("disc") users, but works well if you just want to get a quick list of users and don't care about the rest of the information. I just wanted a list and didn't care if they were currently disconnected.

If you do care about the rest of the data it's just a little more complex:

(((quser) -replace '^>', '') -replace '\s{2,}', ',').Trim() | ForEach-Object {
    if ($_.Split(',').Count -eq 5) {
        Write-Output ($_ -replace '(^[^,]+)', '$1,')
    } else {
        Write-Output $_
    }
} | ConvertFrom-Csv

I take it a step farther and give you a very clean object on my blog.

I ended up making this into a module.

Uncaught Invariant Violation: Too many re-renders. React limits the number of renders to prevent an infinite loop

I also have the same problem, and the solution is I didn't bind the event in my onClick. so when it renders for the first time and the data is more, which ends up calling the state setter again, which triggers React to call your function again and so on.

export default function Component(props) {

function clickEvent (event, variable){
    console.log(variable);
}

return (
    <div>
        <IconButton
            key="close"
            aria-label="Close"
            color="inherit"
            onClick={e => clickEvent(e, 10)} // or you can call like this:onClick={() => clickEvent(10)} 
        >
    </div>
)
}

Struct like objects in Java

There is nothing wrong with that type of code, provided that the author knows they are structs (or data shuttles) instead of objects. Lots of Java developers can't tell the difference between a well-formed object (not just a subclass of java.lang.Object, but a true object in a specific domain) and a pineapple. Ergo,they end up writing structs when they need objects and viceversa.

What does the "assert" keyword do?

Use this version of the assert statement to provide a detail message for the AssertionError. The system passes the value of Expression2 to the appropriate AssertionError constructor, which uses the string representation of the value as the error's detail message.

The purpose of the detail message is to capture and communicate the details of the assertion failure. The message should allow you to diagnose and ultimately fix the error that led the assertion to fail. Note that the detail message is not a user-level error message, so it is generally unnecessary to make these messages understandable in isolation, or to internationalize them. The detail message is meant to be interpreted in the context of a full stack trace, in conjunction with the source code containing the failed assertion.

Creating watermark using html and css

I would recommend everyone look into CSS grids. It has been supported by most browsers now since about 2017. Here is a link to some documentation: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/ . It is so much easier to keep your page elements where you want them, especially when it comes to responsiveness. It took me all of 20 minutes to learn how to do it, and I'm a newbie!

<div class="grid-div">
    <p class="hello">Hello</p>
    <p class="world">World</p>
</div>


//begin css//

.grid-div {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 50% 50%;
    grid-template-rows: 50% 50%;
}

.hello {
    grid-column-start: 2;
    grid-row-start: 2;
}

.world {
    grid-column-start: 1;
    grid-row-start: 2;
}

This code will split the page into 4 equal quadrants, placing the "Hello" in the bottom right, and the "World" in the bottom left without having to change their positioning or playing with margins.

This can be extrapolated into very complex grid layouts with overlapping, infinite grids of all sizes, and even grids nested inside grids, without losing control of your elements every time something changes (MS Word I'm looking at you).

Hope this helps whoever still needs it!

Why is my method undefined for the type object?

The line

Object EchoServer0;

says that you are allocating an Object named EchoServer0. This has nothing to do with the class EchoServer0. Furthermore, the object is not initialized, so EchoServer0 is null. Classes and identifiers have separate namespaces. This will actually compile:

String String = "abc";  // My use of String String was deliberate.

Please keep to the Java naming standards: classes begin with a capital letter, identifiers begin with a small letter, constants and enums are all-capitals.

public final String ME = "Eric Jablow";
public final double GAMMA = 0.5772;
public enum Color { RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET}

py2exe - generate single executable file

As the other poster mention, py2exe, will generate an executable + some libraries to load. You can also have some data to add to your program.

Next step is to use an installer, to package all this into one easy-to-use installable/unistallable program.

I have used InnoSetup with delight for several years and for commercial programs, so I heartily recommend it.

Print specific part of webpage

You would have to open a new window(or navigate to a new page) containing just the information you wish the user to be able to print

Javscript:

function printInfo(ele) {
    var openWindow = window.open("", "title", "attributes");
    openWindow.document.write(ele.previousSibling.innerHTML);
    openWindow.document.close();
    openWindow.focus();
    openWindow.print();
    openWindow.close();
}

HTML:

<div id="....">
    <div>
        content to print
    </div><a href="#" onclick="printInfo(this)">Print</a>
</div>

A few notes here: the anchor must NOT have whitespace between it and the div containing the content to print

How to get the anchor from the URL using jQuery?

You can use the .indexOf() and .substring(), like this:

var url = "www.aaa.com/task1/1.3.html#a_1";
var hash = url.substring(url.indexOf("#")+1);

You can give it a try here, if it may not have a # in it, do an if(url.indexOf("#") != -1) check like this:

var url = "www.aaa.com/task1/1.3.html#a_1", idx = url.indexOf("#");
var hash = idx != -1 ? url.substring(idx+1) : "";

If this is the current page URL, you can just use window.location.hash to get it, and replace the # if you wish.

Is it possible to log all HTTP request headers with Apache?

Here is a list of all http-headers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields

And here is a list of all apache-logformats: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats

As you did write correctly, the code for logging a specific header is %{foobar}i where foobar is the name of the header. So, the only solution is to create a specific format string. When you expect a non-standard header like x-my-nonstandard-header, then use %{x-my-nonstandard-header}i. If your server is going to ignore this non-standard-header, why should you want to write it to your logfile? An unknown header has absolutely no effect to your system.

onClick not working on mobile (touch)

better to use touchstart event with .on() jQuery method:

$(window).load(function() { // better to use $(document).ready(function(){
    $('.List li').on('click touchstart', function() {
        $('.Div').slideDown('500');
    });
});

And i don't understand why you are using $(window).load() method because it waits for everything on a page to be loaded, this tend to be slow, while you can use $(document).ready() method which does not wait for each element on the page to be loaded first.

ParkingLot is a class.

ParkingSpace is a class.

ParkingSpace has an Entrance.

Entrance has a location or more specifically, distance from Entrance.

ParkingLotSign is a class.

ParkingLot has a ParkingLotSign.

ParkingLot has a finite number of ParkingSpaces.

HandicappedParkingSpace is a subclass of ParkingSpace.

RegularParkingSpace is a subclass of ParkingSpace.

CompactParkingSpace is a subclass of ParkingSpace.

ParkingLot keeps array of ParkingSpaces, and a separate array of vacant ParkingSpaces in order of distance from its Entrance.

ParkingLotSign can be told to display "full", or "empty", or "blank/normal/partially occupied" by calling .Full(), .Empty() or .Normal()

Parker is a class.

Parker can Park().

Parker can Unpark().

Valet is a subclass of Parker that can call ParkingLot.FindVacantSpaceNearestEntrance(), which returns a ParkingSpace.

Parker has a ParkingSpace.

Parker can call ParkingSpace.Take() and ParkingSpace.Vacate().

Parker calls Entrance.Entering() and Entrance.Exiting() and ParkingSpace notifies ParkingLot when it is taken or vacated so that ParkingLot can determine if it is full or not. If it is newly full or newly empty or newly not full or empty, it should change the ParkingLotSign.Full() or ParkingLotSign.Empty() or ParkingLotSign.Normal().

HandicappedParker could be a subclass of Parker and CompactParker a subclass of Parker and RegularParker a subclass of Parker. (might be overkill, actually.)

In this solution, it is possible that Parker should be renamed to be Car.

How to add "required" attribute to mvc razor viewmodel text input editor

A newer way to do this in .NET Core is with TagHelpers.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/views/tag-helpers/intro

Building on these examples (MaxLength, Label), you can extend the existing TagHelper to suit your needs.

RequiredTagHelper.cs

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.TagHelpers;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures;
using System.Linq;

namespace ProjectName.TagHelpers
{
    [HtmlTargetElement("input", Attributes = "asp-for")]
    public class RequiredTagHelper : TagHelper
    {
        public override int Order
        {
            get { return int.MaxValue; }
        }

        [HtmlAttributeName("asp-for")]
        public ModelExpression For { get; set; }

        public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output)
        {
            base.Process(context, output); 

            if (context.AllAttributes["required"] == null)
            {
                var isRequired = For.ModelExplorer.Metadata.ValidatorMetadata.Any(a => a is RequiredAttribute);
                if (isRequired)
                {
                    var requiredAttribute = new TagHelperAttribute("required");
                    output.Attributes.Add(requiredAttribute);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You'll then need to add it to be used in your views:

_ViewImports.cshtml

@using ProjectName
@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@addTagHelper "*, ProjectName"

Given the following model:

Foo.cs

using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace ProjectName.Models
{
    public class Foo
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Full Name")]
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }
}

and view (snippet):

New.cshtml

<label asp-for="Name"></label>
<input asp-for="Name"/>

Will result in this HTML:

<label for="Name">Full Name</label>
<input required type="text" data-val="true" data-val-required="The Full Name field is required." id="Name" name="Name" value=""/>

I hope this is helpful to anyone with same question but using .NET Core.

regex string replace

Just change + to -:

str = str.replace(/[^a-z0-9-]/g, "");

You can read it as:

  1. [^ ]: match NOT from the set
  2. [^a-z0-9-]: match if not a-z, 0-9 or -
  3. / /g: do global match

Define constant variables in C++ header

C++17 inline variables

This awesome C++17 feature allow us to:

  • conveniently use just a single memory address for each constant
  • store it as a constexpr: How to declare constexpr extern?
  • do it in a single line from one header

main.cpp

#include <cassert>

#include "notmain.hpp"

int main() {
    // Both files see the same memory address.
    assert(&notmain_i == notmain_func());
    assert(notmain_i == 42);
}

notmain.hpp

#ifndef NOTMAIN_HPP
#define NOTMAIN_HPP

inline constexpr int notmain_i = 42;

const int* notmain_func();

#endif

notmain.cpp

#include "notmain.hpp"

const int* notmain_func() {
    return &notmain_i;
}

Compile and run:

g++ -c -o notmain.o -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic notmain.cpp
g++ -c -o main.o -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic main.cpp
g++ -o main -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic main.o notmain.o
./main

C++ standard on inline variables

The C++ standard guarantees that the addresses will be the same. C++17 N4659 standard draft 10.1.6 "The inline specifier":

6 An inline function or variable with external linkage shall have the same address in all translation units.

cppreference https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/inline explains that if static is not given, then it has external linkage.

Inline variable implementation

We can observe how it is implemented with:

nm main.o notmain.o

which contains:

main.o:
                 U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
                 U _Z12notmain_funcv
0000000000000028 r _ZZ4mainE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__
                 U __assert_fail
0000000000000000 T main
0000000000000000 u notmain_i

notmain.o:
0000000000000000 T _Z12notmain_funcv
0000000000000000 u notmain_i

and man nm says about u:

"u" The symbol is a unique global symbol. This is a GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol bindings. For such a symbol the dynamic linker will make sure that in the entire process there is just one symbol with this name and type in use.

so we see that there is a dedicated ELF extension for this.

C++17 standard draft on "global" const implies static

This is the quote for what was mentioned at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12043198/895245

C++17 n4659 standard draft 6.5 "Program and linkage":

3 A name having namespace scope (6.3.6) has internal linkage if it is the name of

  • (3.1) — a variable, function or function template that is explicitly declared static; or,
  • (3.2) — a non-inline variable of non-volatile const-qualified type that is neither explicitly declared extern nor previously declared to have external linkage; or
  • (3.3) — a data member of an anonymous union.

"namespace" scope is what we colloquially often refer to as "global".

Annex C (informative) Compatibility, C.1.2 Clause 6: "basic concepts" gives the rationale why this was changed from C:

6.5 [also 10.1.7]

Change: A name of file scope that is explicitly declared const, and not explicitly declared extern, has internal linkage, while in C it would have external linkage.

Rationale: Because const objects may be used as values during translation in C++, this feature urges programmers to provide an explicit initializer for each const object. This feature allows the user to put const objects in source files that are included in more than one translation unit.

Effect on original feature: Change to semantics of well-defined feature.

Difficulty of converting: Semantic transformation.

How widely used: Seldom.

Using .htaccess to make all .html pages to run as .php files?

None of the answers posted here worked for me.

In my case the problem was, by the one hand, that the .conf file (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf) did not contain the directive AllowOverride All for the site directory, which caused the .htaccess to not been processed. To solve this, add:

<Directory /var/www/html/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

On the other hand, the problem was that the .htaccess was created by the root user, and therefore the apache user could not read it. So, changing the file owner solved definitely the problem:

chown www-data:www-data .htaccess

window.location (JS) vs header() (PHP) for redirection

The result is same for all options. Redirect.

<meta> in HTML:

  • Show content of your site, and next redirect user after a few (or 0) seconds.
  • Don't need JavaScript enabled.
  • Don't need PHP.

window.location in JS:

  • Javascript enabled needed.
  • Don't need PHP.
  • Show content of your site, and next redirect user after a few (or 0) seconds.
  • Redirect can be dependent on any conditions if (1 === 1) { window.location.href = 'http://example.com'; }.

header('Location:') in PHP:

  • Don't need JavaScript enabled.
  • PHP needed.
  • Redirect will be executed first, user never see what is after. header() must be the first command in php script, before output any other. If you try output some before header, will receive an Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

Removing items from a list

You can't and shouldn't modify a list while iterating over it. You can solve this by temporarely saving the objects to remove:

List<Object> toRemove = new ArrayList<Object>();
for(Object a: list){
    if(a.getXXX().equalsIgnoreCase("AAA")){
        toRemove.add(a);
    }
}
list.removeAll(toRemove);

Make browser window blink in task Bar

this won't make the taskbar button flash in changing colours, but the title will blink on and off until they move the mouse. This should work cross platform, and even if they just have it in a different tab.

newExcitingAlerts = (function () {
    var oldTitle = document.title;
    var msg = "New!";
    var timeoutId;
    var blink = function() { document.title = document.title == msg ? ' ' : msg; };
    var clear = function() {
        clearInterval(timeoutId);
        document.title = oldTitle;
        window.onmousemove = null;
        timeoutId = null;
    };
    return function () {
        if (!timeoutId) {
            timeoutId = setInterval(blink, 1000);
            window.onmousemove = clear;
        }
    };
}());

Update: You may want to look at using HTML5 notifications.

How to use <md-icon> in Angular Material?

Easy way: use the following CDN:

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-material-icons/0.5.0/angular-material-icons.min.js"></script> 

Inject ngMdIcons to your angularjs application:

angular.module('demoapp', ['ngMdIcons']);

Use ng-md-icon directive in your html, specifying fill-color through css:

<ng-md-icon icon="..." style="fill: ..." size="..."></ng-md-icon>

How are people unit testing with Entity Framework 6, should you bother?

This is a topic I'm very interested in. There are many purists who say that you shouldn't test technologies such as EF and NHibernate. They are right, they're already very stringently tested and as a previous answer stated it's often pointless to spend vast amounts of time testing what you don't own.

However, you do own the database underneath! This is where this approach in my opinion breaks down, you don't need to test that EF/NH are doing their jobs correctly. You need to test that your mappings/implementations are working with your database. In my opinion this is one of the most important parts of a system you can test.

Strictly speaking however we're moving out of the domain of unit testing and into integration testing but the principles remain the same.

The first thing you need to do is to be able to mock your DAL so your BLL can be tested independently of EF and SQL. These are your unit tests. Next you need to design your Integration Tests to prove your DAL, in my opinion these are every bit as important.

There are a couple of things to consider:

  1. Your database needs to be in a known state with each test. Most systems use either a backup or create scripts for this.
  2. Each test must be repeatable
  3. Each test must be atomic

There are two main approaches to setting up your database, the first is to run a UnitTest create DB script. This ensures that your unit test database will always be in the same state at the beginning of each test (you may either reset this or run each test in a transaction to ensure this).

Your other option is what I do, run specific setups for each individual test. I believe this is the best approach for two main reasons:

  • Your database is simpler, you don't need an entire schema for each test
  • Each test is safer, if you change one value in your create script it doesn't invalidate dozens of other tests.

Unfortunately your compromise here is speed. It takes time to run all these tests, to run all these setup/tear down scripts.

One final point, it can be very hard work to write such a large amount of SQL to test your ORM. This is where I take a very nasty approach (the purists here will disagree with me). I use my ORM to create my test! Rather than having a separate script for every DAL test in my system I have a test setup phase which creates the objects, attaches them to the context and saves them. I then run my test.

This is far from the ideal solution however in practice I find it's a LOT easier to manage (especially when you have several thousand tests), otherwise you're creating massive numbers of scripts. Practicality over purity.

I will no doubt look back at this answer in a few years (months/days) and disagree with myself as my approaches have changed - however this is my current approach.

To try and sum up everything I've said above this is my typical DB integration test:

[Test]
public void LoadUser()
{
  this.RunTest(session => // the NH/EF session to attach the objects to
  {
    var user = new UserAccount("Mr", "Joe", "Bloggs");
    session.Save(user);
    return user.UserID;
  }, id => // the ID of the entity we need to load
  {
     var user = LoadMyUser(id); // load the entity
     Assert.AreEqual("Mr", user.Title); // test your properties
     Assert.AreEqual("Joe", user.Firstname);
     Assert.AreEqual("Bloggs", user.Lastname);
  }
}

The key thing to notice here is that the sessions of the two loops are completely independent. In your implementation of RunTest you must ensure that the context is committed and destroyed and your data can only come from your database for the second part.

Edit 13/10/2014

I did say that I'd probably revise this model over the upcoming months. While I largely stand by the approach I advocated above I've updated my testing mechanism slightly. I now tend to create the entities in in the TestSetup and TestTearDown.

[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
  this.SetupTest(session => // the NH/EF session to attach the objects to
  {
    var user = new UserAccount("Mr", "Joe", "Bloggs");
    session.Save(user);
    this.UserID =  user.UserID;
  });
}

[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
   this.TearDownDatabase();
}

Then test each property individually

[Test]
public void TestTitle()
{
     var user = LoadMyUser(this.UserID); // load the entity
     Assert.AreEqual("Mr", user.Title);
}

[Test]
public void TestFirstname()
{
     var user = LoadMyUser(this.UserID);
     Assert.AreEqual("Joe", user.Firstname);
}

[Test]
public void TestLastname()
{
     var user = LoadMyUser(this.UserID);
     Assert.AreEqual("Bloggs", user.Lastname);
}

There are several reasons for this approach:

  • There are no additional database calls (one setup, one teardown)
  • The tests are far more granular, each test verifies one property
  • Setup/TearDown logic is removed from the Test methods themselves

I feel this makes the test class simpler and the tests more granular (single asserts are good)

Edit 5/3/2015

Another revision on this approach. While class level setups are very helpful for tests such as loading properties they are less useful where the different setups are required. In this case setting up a new class for each case is overkill.

To help with this I now tend to have two base classes SetupPerTest and SingleSetup. These two classes expose the framework as required.

In the SingleSetup we have a very similar mechanism as described in my first edit. An example would be

public TestProperties : SingleSetup
{
  public int UserID {get;set;}

  public override DoSetup(ISession session)
  {
    var user = new User("Joe", "Bloggs");
    session.Save(user);
    this.UserID = user.UserID;
  }

  [Test]
  public void TestLastname()
  {
     var user = LoadMyUser(this.UserID); // load the entity
     Assert.AreEqual("Bloggs", user.Lastname);
  }

  [Test]
  public void TestFirstname()
  {
       var user = LoadMyUser(this.UserID);
       Assert.AreEqual("Joe", user.Firstname);
  }
}

However references which ensure that only the correct entites are loaded may use a SetupPerTest approach

public TestProperties : SetupPerTest
{
   [Test]
   public void EnsureCorrectReferenceIsLoaded()
   {
      int friendID = 0;
      this.RunTest(session =>
      {
         var user = CreateUserWithFriend();
         session.Save(user);
         friendID = user.Friends.Single().FriendID;
      } () =>
      {
         var user = GetUser();
         Assert.AreEqual(friendID, user.Friends.Single().FriendID);
      });
   }
   [Test]
   public void EnsureOnlyCorrectFriendsAreLoaded()
   {
      int userID = 0;
      this.RunTest(session =>
      {
         var user = CreateUserWithFriends(2);
         var user2 = CreateUserWithFriends(5);
         session.Save(user);
         session.Save(user2);
         userID = user.UserID;
      } () =>
      {
         var user = GetUser(userID);
         Assert.AreEqual(2, user.Friends.Count());
      });
   }
}

In summary both approaches work depending on what you are trying to test.

jQuery onclick event for <li> tags

Here, to get the text of the menu that triggered the event (does not seem to have any id):

 $(document).ready(function() 
 {
    $('ul.art-vmenu li').click(function(e) 
    { 
     alert($(this).find("span.t").text());
    });
 });

Draw in Canvas by finger, Android

In addition to Ishan's answer, if you want to draw programatically without user interaction, you can edit the class just a little like this.

public class DrawingCanvas extends View {

private Paint mPaint;
private Path mPath;
private boolean isUserInteractionEnabled = false;

public DrawingCanvas(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    mPaint = new Paint();
    mPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
    mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
    mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
    mPaint.setStrokeWidth(10);
    mPath = new Path();
}


@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    canvas.drawPath(mPath, mPaint);
    super.onDraw(canvas);
}


@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (isUserInteractionEnabled) {
        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                mPath.moveTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                mPath.lineTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
                invalidate();
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                break;
        }
    }

    return true;
}

public void moveCursorTo(float x, float y) {
    mPath.moveTo(x, y);
}

public void makeLine(float toX, float toY) {
    mPath.lineTo(toX, toY);
}

public void setUserInteractionEnabled(boolean userInteractionEnabled) {
    isUserInteractionEnabled = userInteractionEnabled;
}
}

And then use it like

drawingCanvas.setUserInteractionEnabled(true) // to enable user interaction
drawingCanvas.setUserInteractionEnabled(true) // to disable user interaction

To Draw programatically

drawingCanvas.moveCursorTo(70f, 70f) // Move the cursor (Define starting point)
drawingCanvas.makeLine(200f, 200f) // End point (To where you need to draw)

What is the best way to create and populate a numbers table?

This is a repackaging of the accepted answer - but in a way that lets you compare them all to each other for yourself - the top 3 algorithms are compared (and comments explain why other methods are excluded) and you can run against your own setup to see how they each perform with the size of sequence that you desire.

SET NOCOUNT ON;

--
-- Set the count of numbers that you want in your sequence ...
--
DECLARE @NumberOfNumbers int = 10000000;
--
--  Some notes on choosing a useful length for your sequence ...
--      For a sequence of  100 numbers -- winner depends on preference of min/max/avg runtime ... (I prefer PhilKelley algo here - edit the algo so RowSet2 is max RowSet CTE)
--      For a sequence of   1k numbers -- winner depends on preference of min/max/avg runtime ... (Sadly PhilKelley algo is generally lowest ranked in this bucket, but could be tweaked to perform better)
--      For a sequence of  10k numbers -- a clear winner emerges for this bucket
--      For a sequence of 100k numbers -- do not test any looping methods at this size or above ...
--                                        the previous winner fails, a different method is need to guarantee the full sequence desired
--      For a sequence of  1MM numbers -- the statistics aren't changing much between the algorithms - choose one based on your own goals or tweaks
--      For a sequence of 10MM numbers -- only one of the methods yields the desired sequence, and the numbers are much closer than for smaller sequences

PDO with INSERT INTO through prepared statements

Thanks to Novocaine88's answer to use a try catch loop I have successfully received an error message when I caused one.

    <?php
    $dbhost = "localhost";
    $dbname = "pdo";
    $dbusername = "root";
    $dbpassword = "845625";

    $link = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname", $dbusername, $dbpassword);
    $link->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

    try {
        $statement = $link->prepare("INERT INTO testtable(name, lastname, age)
            VALUES(?,?,?)");

        $statement->execute(array("Bob","Desaunois",18));
    } catch(PDOException $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }
    ?>

In the following code instead of INSERT INTO it says INERT.

this is the error I got.

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'INERT INTO testtable(name, lastname, age) VALUES('Bob','Desaunoi' at line 1

Tab key == 4 spaces and auto-indent after curly braces in Vim

Related, if you open a file that uses both tabs and spaces, assuming you've got

set expandtab ts=4 sw=4 ai

You can replace all the tabs with spaces in the entire file with

Bootstrap modal link

Please remove . from your target it should be a id

<a href="#bannerformmodal" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#bannerformmodal">Load me</a>

Also you have to give your modal id like below

<div class="modal fade bannerformmodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="bannerformmodal" aria-hidden="true" id="bannerformmodal">

Here is the solution in a fiddle.

Add a "sort" to a =QUERY statement in Google Spreadsheets

You can use ORDER BY clause to sort data rows by values in columns. Something like

=QUERY(responses!A1:K; "Select C, D, E where B contains '2nd Web Design' Order By C, D")

If you’d like to order by some columns descending, others ascending, you can add desc/asc, ie:

=QUERY(responses!A1:K; "Select C, D, E where B contains '2nd Web Design' Order By C desc, D")

Jenkins could not run git

It seems Jenkins has been changing a lot. I fixed this problem in March 2017 by doing this:

  1. Go to Manage Jenkins
  2. Go to Global Tool Configuration
  3. In Git / Path to Git executable enter C:\<whatever the path is>\git.exe.
  4. Click on Save.

Use git status to see what Git thinks about the files in any given directory.

ASP.NET Web API - PUT & DELETE Verbs Not Allowed - IIS 8

Remove the WebDAV works perfectly for my case:

<modules>
  <remove name="WebDAVModule"/>
</modules>
<handlers>
  <remove name="WebDAV" />
  <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
  <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" 
       type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers>

it always better to solve the problem through the web.config instead of going to fix it through the iis or machine.config to grantee it wouldn't happen if the app hosted at another machine

Choosing a file in Python with simple Dialog

Another option to consider is Zenity: http://freecode.com/projects/zenity.

I had a situation where I was developing a Python server application (no GUI component) and hence didn't want to introduce a dependency on any python GUI toolkits, but I wanted some of my debug scripts to be parameterized by input files and wanted to visually prompt the user for a file if they didn't specify one on the command line. Zenity was a perfect fit. To achieve this, invoke "zenity --file-selection" using the subprocess module and capture the stdout. Of course this solution isn't Python-specific.

Zenity supports multiple platforms and happened to already be installed on our dev servers so it facilitated our debugging/development without introducing an unwanted dependency.

How to convert a negative number to positive?

Hibernate JPA Sequence (non-Id)

If you have a column with UNIQUEIDENTIFIER type and default generation needed on insert but column is not PK

@Generated(GenerationTime.INSERT)
@Column(nullable = false , columnDefinition="UNIQUEIDENTIFIER")
private String uuidValue;

In db you will have

CREATE TABLE operation.Table1
(
    Id         INT IDENTITY (1,1)               NOT NULL,
    UuidValue  UNIQUEIDENTIFIER DEFAULT NEWID() NOT NULL)

In this case you will not define generator for a value which you need (It will be automatically thanks to columnDefinition="UNIQUEIDENTIFIER"). The same you can try for other column types

can you host a private repository for your organization to use with npm?

There is an easy to use npm package to do this. https://www.npmjs.org/package/sinopia

In a nutshell, Sinopia is a private/caching npm repository server that you can setup with zero configuration.

Sinopia can be used to :

  • publish own private packages without exposing it to the public
  • cache only public packages that are used (there is no need to have to replicate the whole public registery)
  • override public packages with a modified version that have been produced internally.

Default value in Doctrine

Here is how I solved it for myself. Below is an Entity example with default value for MySQL. However, this also requires the setup of a constructor in your entity, and for you to set the default value there.

  table: example
  fields:
    id:
      type: integer
      id: true
      generator:
        strategy: AUTO
    label:
      type: string
      columnDefinition: varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'default_value' COMMENT 'This is column comment'

Replace part of a string in Python?

You can easily use .replace() as also previously described. But it is also important to keep in mind that strings are immutable. Hence if you do not assign the change you are making to a variable, then you will not see any change. Let me explain by;

    >>stuff = "bin and small"
    >>stuff.replace('and', ',')
    >>print(stuff)
    "big and small" #no change

To observe the change you want to apply, you can assign same or another variable;

    >>stuff = "big and small"
    >>stuff = stuff.replace("and", ",")   
    >>print(stuff)
    'big, small'

Count distinct value pairs in multiple columns in SQL

You can also do something like:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT id + name + address) FROM mytable

Summarizing count and conditional aggregate functions on the same factor

Assuming that your original dataset is similar to the one you created (i.e. with NA as character. You could specify na.strings while reading the data using read.table. But, I guess NAs would be detected automatically.

The price column is factor which needs to be converted to numeric class. When you use as.numeric, all the non-numeric elements (i.e. "NA", FALSE) gets coerced to NA) with a warning.

library(dplyr)
df %>%
     mutate(price=as.numeric(as.character(price))) %>%  
     group_by(company, year, product) %>%
     summarise(total.count=n(), 
               count=sum(is.na(price)), 
               avg.price=mean(price,na.rm=TRUE),
               max.price=max(price, na.rm=TRUE))

data

I am using the same dataset (except the ... row) that was showed.

df = tbl_df(data.frame(company=c("Acme", "Meca", "Emca", "Acme", "Meca","Emca"),
 year=c("2011", "2010", "2009", "2011", "2010", "2013"), product=c("Wrench", "Hammer",
 "Sonic Screwdriver", "Fairy Dust", "Kindness", "Helping Hand"), price=c("5.67",
 "7.12", "12.99", "10.99", "NA",FALSE)))

Class method decorator with self arguments?

Yes. Instead of passing in the instance attribute at class definition time, check it at runtime:

def check_authorization(f):
    def wrapper(*args):
        print args[0].url
        return f(*args)
    return wrapper

class Client(object):
    def __init__(self, url):
        self.url = url

    @check_authorization
    def get(self):
        print 'get'

>>> Client('http://www.google.com').get()
http://www.google.com
get

The decorator intercepts the method arguments; the first argument is the instance, so it reads the attribute off of that. You can pass in the attribute name as a string to the decorator and use getattr if you don't want to hardcode the attribute name:

def check_authorization(attribute):
    def _check_authorization(f):
        def wrapper(self, *args):
            print getattr(self, attribute)
            return f(self, *args)
        return wrapper
    return _check_authorization

What is the default username and password in Tomcat?

Platform NetBeans 7.3, Apache Tomcat 7.0.34 re: Tomcat Manager

I spent 3 days tracking this down because I thought I had a bad install.

On Windows and Linux, NetBeans uses a separate file location for CATALINA_BASE:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqInstallationDefaultTomcatPassword

So you can modify the tomcat_user.xml under CATALINA_HOME: until your face turns blue, to no effect.

It appears that the IDE only requires, manager-script,admin roles under CATALINA_BASE:.

When I tried to add a user to the manager-gui role (to the correct tomcat_user.xml file), required for access to the Tomcat Manager, Tomcat stopped presenting the login dialog and went directly to the 401 access denied splash page.

It appears that the NetBeans package uses a locked-down version of TomCat.

I hope this saves everyone some time.

How to specify multiple return types using type-hints

The statement def foo(client_id: str) -> list or bool: when evaluated is equivalent to def foo(client_id: str) -> list: and will therefore not do what you want.

The native way to describe a "either A or B" type hint is Union (thanks to Bhargav Rao):

def foo(client_id: str) -> Union[list, bool]:

I do not want to be the "Why do you want to do this anyway" guy, but maybe having 2 return types isn't what you want:

If you want to return a bool to indicate some type of special error-case, consider using Exceptions instead. If you want to return a bool as some special value, maybe an empty list would be a good representation. You can also indicate that None could be returned with Optional[list]

How to specify an element after which to wrap in css flexbox?

=========================

Here's an article with your full list of options: https://tobiasahlin.com/blog/flexbox-break-to-new-row/

EDIT: This is really easy to do with Grid now: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/mGONxv?editors=1100

=========================

I don't think you can break after a specific item. The best you can probably do is change the flex-basis at your breakpoints. So:

ul {
  flex-flow: row wrap;
  display: flex;
}

li {
  flex-grow: 1;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  flex-basis: 50%;
}

@media (min-width: 40em;){
li {
  flex-basis: 30%;
}

Here's a sample: http://cdpn.io/ndCzD

============================================

EDIT: You CAN break after a specific element! Heydon Pickering unleashed some css wizardry in an A List Apart article: http://alistapart.com/article/quantity-queries-for-css

        public final static float NORMAL = 0;
        public final static float NORMALBIG = (float)0.025;
        public final static float BIG = (float)0.05;
        public final static float BIGGEST = (float)0.2;
    }
}

If you want to use it programatically:

LetterSpacingTextView textView = new LetterSpacingTextView(context);
textView.setSpacing(10); //Or any float. To reset to normal, use 0 or LetterSpacingTextView.Spacing.NORMAL
textView.setText("My text");
//Add the textView in a layout, for instance:
((LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLinearLayout)).addView(textView);

How to do what head, tail, more, less, sed do in Powershell?

$Push_Pop = $ErrorActionPreference #Suppresses errors
$ErrorActionPreference = “SilentlyContinue” #Suppresses errors
#Script
    #gc .\output\*.csv -ReadCount 5 | %{$_;throw "pipeline end!"} # head
    #gc .\output\*.csv | %{$num=0;}{$num++;"$num $_"}             # cat -n
    gc .\output\*.csv | %{$num=0;}{$num++; if($num -gt 2 -and $num -lt 7){"$num $_"}} # sed
#End Script 
$ErrorActionPreference = $Push_Pop #Suppresses errors

You don't get all the errors with the pushpop code BTW, your code only works with the "sed" option. All the rest ignores anything but gc and path.

Cross-reference (named anchor) in markdown

Using the latest Markdown, you should be able to use the following syntax:

[](){:name='anchorName'}

This should create the following HTML:

<a name="anchorName"></a>

If you wanted the anchor to have text, simply add the anchor text within the square brackets:

[Some Text](){:name='anchorName'}

How do you do a ‘Pause’ with PowerShell 2.0?

cmd /c pause | out-null

(It is not the PowerShell way, but it's so much more elegant.)

Save trees. Use one-liners.

Get properties and values from unknown object

I haven't found this to work on, say Application objects. I have however had success with

var serializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();

string rval = serializer.Serialize(myAppObj);

How to convert AAR to JAR

Resource based .aar-projects

Finding the classes.jar file inside the .aar file is pretty trivial. However, that approach does not work, if the .aar-project defined some resources (example: R.layout.xyz)

  • Therefore deaar from CommonsGuy helped me to get a valid ADT-friendly project out of an .aar-file. In my case I converted subsampling-scale-image-view. It took me about an hour to set up ruby on my PC.

  • Another approach is using android-maven-plugin for Eclipse/ADT as CommonsGuy writes in his blog.

  • Yet another approach could be, just cloning the whole desired project as source from git and import it as "Existing Android project"

Field 'browser' doesn't contain a valid alias configuration

My case was rather embarrassing: I added a typescript binding for a JS library without adding the library itself.

So if you do:

npm install --save @types/lucene

Don't forget to do:

npm install --save lucene

Kinda obvious, but I just totally forgot and that cost me quite some time.

Simple division in Java - is this a bug or a feature?

In my case I was doing this:

double a = (double) (MAX_BANDWIDTH_SHARED_MB/(qCount+1));

Instead of the "correct" :

double a = (double)MAX_BANDWIDTH_SHARED_MB/(qCount+1);

Take attention with the parentheses !

Converting HTML to Excel?

Change the content type to ms-excel in the html and browser shall open the html in the Excel as xls. If you want control over the transformation of HTML to excel use POI libraries to do so.

store return value of a Python script in a bash script

read it in the docs. If you return anything but an int or None it will be printed to stderr.

To get just stderr while discarding stdout do:

output=$(python foo.py 2>&1 >/dev/null)

Why am I getting AttributeError: Object has no attribute

I got this error for multi-threading scenario (specifically when dealing with ZMQ). It turned out that socket was still being connected on one thread while another thread already started sending data. The events that occured due to another thread tried to access variables that weren't created yet. If your scenario involves multi-threading and if things work if you add bit of delay then you might have similar issue.

How to make a class property?

I happened to come up with a solution very similar to @Andrew, only DRY

class MetaFoo(type):

    def __new__(mc1, name, bases, nmspc):
        nmspc.update({'thingy': MetaFoo.thingy})
        return super(MetaFoo, mc1).__new__(mc1, name, bases, nmspc)

    @property
    def thingy(cls):
        if not inspect.isclass(cls):
            cls = type(cls)
        return cls._thingy

    @thingy.setter
    def thingy(cls, value):
        if not inspect.isclass(cls):
            cls = type(cls)
        cls._thingy = value

class Foo(metaclass=MetaFoo):
    _thingy = 23

class Bar(Foo)
    _thingy = 12

This has the best of all answers:

The "metaproperty" is added to the class, so that it will still be a property of the instance

  1. Don't need to redefine thingy in any of the classes
  2. The property works as a "class property" in for both instance and class
  3. You have the flexibility to customize how _thingy is inherited

In my case, I actually customized _thingy to be different for every child, without defining it in each class (and without a default value) by:

   def __new__(mc1, name, bases, nmspc):
       nmspc.update({'thingy': MetaFoo.services, '_thingy': None})
       return super(MetaFoo, mc1).__new__(mc1, name, bases, nmspc)

What is the best way to dump entire objects to a log in C#?

You could use reflection and loop through all the object properties, then get their values and save them to the log. The formatting is really trivial (you could use \t to indent an objects properties and its values):

MyObject
    Property1 = value
    Property2 = value2
    OtherObject
       OtherProperty = value ...

Reset local repository branch to be just like remote repository HEAD

The question mixes two issues here:

  1. how to reset a local branch to the point where the remote is
  2. how to clear your staging area (and possibly the working directory), so that git status says nothing to commit, working directory clean.

The one-stop-answer is:

  1. git fetch --prune (optional) Updates the local snapshot of the remote repo. Further commands are local only.
    git reset --hard @{upstream}Puts the local branch pointer to where the snapshot of the remote is, as well as set the index and the working directory to the files of that commit.
  2. git clean -d --force Removes untracked files and directories which hinder git to say “working directory clean”.

Can I limit the length of an array in JavaScript?

You need to actually use the shortened array after you remove items from it. You are ignoring the shortened array.

You convert the cookie into an array. You reduce the length of the array and then you never use that shortened array. Instead, you just use the old cookie (the unshortened one).

You should convert the shortened array back to a string with .join(",") and then use it for the new cookie instead of using old_cookie which is not shortened.

You may also not be using .splice() correctly, but I don't know exactly what your objective is for shortening the array. You can read about the exact function of .splice() here.

How to send a header using a HTTP request through a curl call?

man curl:

   -H/--header <header>
          (HTTP)  Extra header to use when getting a web page. You may specify
          any number of extra headers. Note that if you should  add  a  custom
          header that has the same name as one of the internal ones curl would
          use, your externally set header will be used instead of the internal
          one.  This  allows  you  to make even trickier stuff than curl would
          normally do. You should not replace internally set  headers  without
          knowing  perfectly well what you're doing. Remove an internal header
          by giving a replacement without content on the  right  side  of  the
          colon, as in: -H "Host:".

          curl  will  make sure that each header you add/replace get sent with
          the proper end of line marker, you should thus not  add  that  as  a
          part  of the header content: do not add newlines or carriage returns
          they will only mess things up for you.

          See also the -A/--user-agent and -e/--referer options.

          This option can be used multiple times to add/replace/remove  multi-
          ple headers.

Example:

curl --header "X-MyHeader: 123" www.google.com

You can see the request that curl sent by adding the -v option.

HTTP POST with URL query parameters -- good idea or not?

If your action is not idempotent, then you MUST use POST. If you don't, you're just asking for trouble down the line. GET, PUT and DELETE methods are required to be idempotent. Imagine what would happen in your application if the client was pre-fetching every possible GET request for your service – if this would cause side effects visible to the client, then something's wrong.

I agree that sending a POST with a query string but without a body seems odd, but I think it can be appropriate in some situations.

Think of the query part of a URL as a command to the resource to limit the scope of the current request. Typically, query strings are used to sort or filter a GET request (like ?page=1&sort=title) but I suppose it makes sense on a POST to also limit the scope (perhaps like ?action=delete&id=5).

How to calculate the sum of all columns of a 2D numpy array (efficiently)

Then NumPy sum function takes an optional axis argument that specifies along which axis you would like the sum performed:

>>> a = numpy.arange(12).reshape(4,3)
>>> a.sum(0)
array([18, 22, 26])

Or, equivalently:

>>> numpy.sum(a, 0)
array([18, 22, 26])

Check if bash variable equals 0

you can also use this format and use comparison operators like '==' '<='

  if (( $total == 0 )); then
      echo "No results for ${1}"
      return
  fi

html select only one checkbox in a group

Here is a simple HTML and JavaScript solution I prefer:

//js function to allow only checking of one weekday checkbox at a time:

function checkOnlyOne(b){

var x = document.getElementsByClassName('daychecks');
var i;

for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
  if(x[i].value != b) x[i].checked = false;
}
}


Day of the week:
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Monday" />Mon&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Tuesday" />Tue&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Wednesday" />Wed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Thursday" />Thu&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Friday" />Fri&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Saturday" />Sat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input class="daychecks" onclick="checkOnlyOne(this.value);" type="checkbox" name="reoccur_weekday" value="Sunday" />Sun&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />

Convert to Datetime MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss in Sql Server

use

select convert(varchar(10),GETDATE(), 103) + 
       ' '+
       right(convert(varchar(32),GETDATE(),108),8) AS Date_Time

It will Produce:

Date_Time 30/03/2015 11:51:40

What does "xmlns" in XML mean?

It defines an XML Namespace.

In your example, the Namespace Prefix is "android" and the Namespace URI is "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

In the document, you see elements like: <android:foo />

Think of the namespace prefix as a variable with a short name alias for the full namespace URI. It is the equivalent of writing <http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android:foo /> with regards to what it "means" when an XML parser reads the document.

NOTE: You cannot actually use the full namespace URI in place of the namespace prefix in an XML instance document.

Check out this tutorial on namespaces: http://www.sitepoint.com/xml-namespaces-explained/

Datatables Select All Checkbox

Base on Francisco Daniel's answer I modified some of the Jquery code here's My version. I removed some excess code and use "fa" instead of "far" for the icon. I also remove the "far fa-minus-square" since I can't understand its purpose.

-- Edited --

I added the "draw" event for the button icon to update whenever the table is redrawn or reloaded. Because I noticed when I tried to reload the table using "myTable.ajax.reload()" the button icon is not changing.

Is "&#160;" a replacement of "&nbsp;"?

  • &nbsp; is the character entity reference (meant to be easily parseable by humans).
  • &#160; is the numeric entity reference (meant to be easily parseable by machines).

They are the same except for the fact that the latter does not need another lookup table to find its actual value. The lookup table is called a DTD, by the way.

You can read more about character entity references in the offical W3C documents.

How to get the nvidia driver version from the command line?

If you need to get that in a program with Python on a Linux system for reproducibility:

with open('/proc/driver/nvidia/version') as f:
    version = f.read().strip()
print(version)

gives:

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  384.90  Tue Sep 19 19:17:35 PDT 2017

Excel Date to String conversion

The selected answer did not work for me as Excel was still not converting the text to date. Here is my solution.

Say that in the first column, A, you have data of the type 2016/03/25 21:20:00 but is stored as text. Then in column B write =DATEVALUE(A1) and in column C write =TIMEVALUE(A1).

Then in column D do =B1+C1 to add the numerical formats of the date and time.

Finally, copy the values from D into column E by right clicking in column E and select Paste Special -> Paste as Values.

Highlight the numerical values in column E and change the data type to date - I prefer using a custom date of the form YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

Python: Assign print output to a variable

To answer the question more generaly how to redirect standard output to a variable ?

do the following :

import sys

result = StringIO()
sys.stdout = result
result_string = result.getvalue()

If you need to do that only in some function do the following :

old_stdout = sys.stdout  

# your function containing the previous lines
my_function()

sys.stdout = old_stdout

Python logging not outputting anything

Many years later there seems to still be a usability problem with the Python logger. Here's some explanations with examples:

import logging
# This sets the root logger to write to stdout (your console).
# Your script/app needs to call this somewhere at least once.
logging.basicConfig()

# By default the root logger is set to WARNING and all loggers you define
# inherit that value. Here we set the root logger to NOTSET. This logging
# level is automatically inherited by all existing and new sub-loggers
# that do not set a less verbose level.
logging.root.setLevel(logging.NOTSET)

# The following line sets the root logger level as well.
# It's equivalent to both previous statements combined:
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.NOTSET)


# You can either share the `logger` object between all your files or the
# name handle (here `my-app`) and call `logging.getLogger` with it.
# The result is the same.
handle = "my-app"
logger1 = logging.getLogger(handle)
logger2 = logging.getLogger(handle)
# logger1 and logger2 point to the same object:
# (logger1 is logger2) == True


# Convenient methods in order of verbosity from highest to lowest
logger.debug("this will get printed")
logger.info("this will get printed")
logger.warning("this will get printed")
logger.error("this will get printed")
logger.critical("this will get printed")


# In large applications where you would like more control over the logging,
# create sub-loggers from your main application logger.
component_logger = logger.getChild("component-a")
component_logger.info("this will get printed with the prefix `my-app.component-a`")

# If you wish to control the logging levels, you can set the level anywhere 
# in the hierarchy:
#
# - root
#   - my-app
#     - component-a
#

# Example for development:
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# If that prints too much, enable debug printing only for your component:
component_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)


# For production you rather want:
logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

A common source of confusion comes from a badly initialised root logger. Consider this:

import logging
log = logging.getLogger("myapp")
log.warning("woot")
logging.basicConfig()
log.warning("woot")

Output:

woot
WARNING:myapp:woot

Depending on your runtime environment and logging levels, the first log line (before basic config) might not show up anywhere.

jQuery serialize does not register checkboxes

One reason for using non-standard checkbox serialization that isn't addressed in the question or in of the current answers is to only deserialize (change) fields that were explicitly specified in the serialized data - e.g. when you are using jquery serialization and deserialization to/from a cookie to save and load prefererences.

Thomas Danemar implemented a modification to the standard serialize() method to optionally take a checkboxesAsBools option: http://tdanemar.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/jquery-serialize-method-and-checkboxes/ - this is similar to the implementation listed above by @mydoghasworms, but also integrated into the standard serialize.

I've copied it to Github in case anyone has improvements to make at any point: https://gist.github.com/1572512

Additionally, the "jquery.deserialize" plugin will now correctly deserialize checkbox values serialized with checkboxesAsBools, and ignore checkboxes that are not mentioned in the serialized data: https://github.com/itsadok/jquery.deserialize

Find which version of package is installed with pip

For Windows you can

  1. open cmd and type python, press enter.

  2. type the import and press enter.

  3. type ._version__ and press enter.

As you can see in screen shot here I am using this method for checking the version of serial module.

Android. WebView and loadData

As I understand it, loadData() simply generates a data: URL with the data provide it.

Read the javadocs for loadData():

If the value of the encoding parameter is 'base64', then the data must be encoded as base64. Otherwise, the data must use ASCII encoding for octets inside the range of safe URL characters and use the standard %xx hex encoding of URLs for octets outside that range. For example, '#', '%', '\', '?' should be replaced by %23, %25, %27, %3f respectively.

The 'data' scheme URL formed by this method uses the default US-ASCII charset. If you need need to set a different charset, you should form a 'data' scheme URL which explicitly specifies a charset parameter in the mediatype portion of the URL and call loadUrl(String) instead. Note that the charset obtained from the mediatype portion of a data URL always overrides that specified in the HTML or XML document itself.

Therefore, you should either use US-ASCII and escape any special characters yourself, or just encode everything using Base64. The following should work, assuming you use UTF-8 (I haven't tested this with latin1):

String data = ...;  // the html data
String base64 = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(data.getBytes("UTF-8"), android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);
webView.loadData(base64, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "base64");

How to clear the cache in NetBeans

The NetBeans cachedir is a directory consisting of files that may become large, may change frequently, and can be deleted and recreated at any time. For example, the results of the Java classpath scan reside in the cachedir.

NetBeans 7.1 and older By default the userdir is inside a (hidden) directory called .netbeans stored in the user's home directory. The home directory is ${HOME} on Unix-like systems, and %USERPROFILE% (usually set to C:\Documents and Settings\) on Windows. The cachedir can be found in var/cache subfolder of the userdir. As the name suggests, the userdir is unique per user. For each version of NetBeans installed, the userdir will be a unique subdirectory such as .netbeans/. To find out your exact userdir location, go to the IDE's main menu, and choose Help > About. (Mac: NetBeans > About NetBeans). NetBeans 7.1 allows to separate the cache directory using a switch --cachedir to a desired location.

Examples A Windows user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under C:\Documents and Settings\jdoe.netbeans\5.0\ A Windows Vista user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under C:\Users\jdoe.netbeans\5.0\ A Mac OS X user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under /Users/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/ (To open this folder in the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the Finder menu, type /Users/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/ into the box, and click Go.) A Linux user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under /home/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/

For More Info

Focusable EditText inside ListView

this post was matching exactly my keywords. I have a ListView header with a search EditText and a search Button.

In order to give focus to the EditText after loosing the initial focus the only HACK that i found is:

    searchText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // LOTS OF HACKS TO MAKE THIS WORK.. UFF...
            searchButton.requestFocusFromTouch();
            searchText.requestFocus();
        }
    });

Lost lots of hours and it's not a real fix. Hope it helps someone tough.

C pass int array pointer as parameter into a function

If you actually want to pass an array pointer, it's

#include <stdio.h>

void func(int (*B)[10]){   // ptr to array of 10 ints.
        (*B)[0] = 5;   // note, *B[0] means *(B[0])
         //B[0][0] = 5;  // same, but could be misleading here; see below.
}

int main(void){

        int B[10] = {0};   // not NULL, which is for pointers.
        printf("b[0] = %d\n\n", B[0]);
        func(&B);            // &B is ptr to arry of 10 ints.
        printf("b[0] = %d\n\n", B[0]);

        return 0;
}

But as mentioned in other answers, it's not that common to do this. Usually a pointer-to-array is passed only when you want to pass a 2d array, where it suddenly looks a lot clearer, as below. A 2D array is actually passed as a pointer to its first row.

void func( int B[5][10] )  // this func is actually the same as the one above! 
{
         B[0][0] = 5;
}

int main(void){
    int Ar2D[5][10];
    func(Ar2D);   // same as func( &Ar2D[0] )
}

The parameter of func may be declared as int B[5][10], int B[][10], int (*B)[10], all are equivalent as parameter types.

Addendum: you can return a pointer-to-array from a function, but the syntax to declare the function is very awkward, the [10] part of the type has to go after the parameter list:

int MyArr[5][10];
int MyRow[10];

int (*select_myarr_row( int i ))[10] { // yes, really
   return (i>=0 && i<5)? &MyArr[i] : &MyRow;
}

This is usually done as below, to avoid eyestrain:

typedef int (*pa10int)[10];

pa10int select_myarr_row( int i ) {
   return (i>=0 && i<5)? &MyArr[i] : &MyRow;
}

Multi-character constant warnings

This warning is useful for programmers that would mistakenly write 'test' where they should have written "test".

This happen much more often than programmers that do actually want multi-char int constants.

Make a dictionary with duplicate keys in Python

You can change the behavior of the built in types in Python. For your case it's really easy to create a dict subclass that will store duplicated values in lists under the same key automatically:

class Dictlist(dict):
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        try:
            self[key]
        except KeyError:
            super(Dictlist, self).__setitem__(key, [])
        self[key].append(value)

Output example:

>>> d = dictlist.Dictlist()
>>> d['test'] = 1
>>> d['test'] = 2
>>> d['test'] = 3
>>> d
{'test': [1, 2, 3]}
>>> d['other'] = 100
>>> d
{'test': [1, 2, 3], 'other': [100]}

Working copy locked error in tortoise svn while committing

There are multiple meanings of "lock" in SVN and some of these answers that talk about "break lock" or a teammate holding a lock are not using the relevant meaning for the original question. This question is dealing with "working copy locks" (i.e. they are entirely local to the working copy on your computer and have nothing to do with you or teammates holding a lock/check-out on a file). The accepted answer by MicroEyes is referring to the correct usage and is your best option when this happens.

If a cleanup doesn't work you may need to check out a fresh working copy of the project. If you have any modified, un-commited files you will need to copy them over to the fresh working copy so you don't lose your changes.

See this page in the Tortoise SVN docs for a description of the three usages of "lock": http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-locking.html

Excerpt (emphasis added):

The Three Meanings of “Lock”

In this section, and almost everywhere in this book, the words “lock” and “locking” describe a mechanism for mutual exclusion between users to avoid clashing commits. Unfortunately, there are two other sorts of “lock” with which Subversion, and therefore this book, sometimes needs to be concerned.

The second is working copy locks, used internally by Subversion to prevent clashes between multiple Subversion clients operating on the same working copy. Usually you get these locks whenever a command like update/commit/... is interrupted due to an error. These locks can be removed by running the cleanup command on the working copy, as described in the section called “Cleanup”.

AngularJs ReferenceError: angular is not defined

If you've downloaded the angular.js file from Google, you need to make sure that Everyone has Read access to it, or it will not be loaded by your HTML file. By default, it seems to download with No access permissions, so you'll also be getting a message such as:

'float' vs. 'double' precision

It's not exactly double precision because of how IEEE 754 works, and because binary doesn't really translate well to decimal. Take a look at the standard if you're interested.

Center a DIV horizontally and vertically

You can compare different methods very well explained on this page: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/vertical-centering-with-css/

How can I compile my Perl script so it can be executed on systems without perl installed?

pp can create an executable that includes perl and your script (and any module dependencies), but it will be specific to your architecture, so you couldn't run it on both Windows and linux for instance.

From its doc:

To make a stand-alone executable, suitable for running on a machine that doesn't have perl installed:

   % pp -o packed.exe source.pl        # makes packed.exe
   # Now, deploy 'packed.exe' to target machine...
   $ packed.exe                        # run it

(% and $ there are command prompts on different machines).

Bad File Descriptor with Linux Socket write() Bad File Descriptor C

In general, when "Bad File Descriptor" is encountered, it means that the socket file descriptor you passed into the API is not valid, which has multiple possible reasons:

  1. The fd is already closed somewhere.
  2. The fd has a wrong value, which is inconsistent with the value obtained from socket() api

jQuery - Add active class and remove active from other element on click

Try this

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tab").click(function () {
    $(".tab").removeClass("active");
    // $(".tab").addClass("active"); // instead of this do the below 
    $(this).addClass("active");   
});
});

when you are using $(".tab").addClass("active");, it targets all the elements with class name .tab. Instead when you use this it looks for the element which has an event, in your case the element which is clicked.

Hope this helps you.

Create a string of variable length, filled with a repeated character

Based on answers from Hogan and Zero Trick Pony. I think this should be both fast and flexible enough to handle well most use cases:

var hash = '####################################################################'

function build_string(length) {  
    if (length == 0) {  
        return ''  
    } else if (hash.length <= length) {  
        return hash.substring(0, length)  
    } else {  
        var result = hash  
        const half_length = length / 2  
        while (result.length <= half_length) {  
            result += result  
        }  
        return result + result.substring(0, length - result.length)  
    }  
}  

Calling JavaScript Function From CodeBehind

Sum across multiple columns with dplyr

dplyr >= 1.0.0

In newer versions of dplyr you can use rowwise() along with c_across to perform row-wise aggregation for functions that do not have specific row-wise variants, but if the row-wise variant exists it should be faster.

Since rowwise() is just a special form of grouping and changes the way verbs work you'll likely want to pipe it to ungroup() after doing your row-wise operation.

To select a range of rows:

df %>%
  dplyr::rowwise() %>% 
  dplyr::mutate(sumrange = sum(dplyr::c_across(x1:x5), na.rm = T))
# %>% dplyr::ungroup() # you'll likely want to ungroup after using rowwise()

To select rows by type:

df %>%
  dplyr::rowwise() %>% 
  dplyr::mutate(sumnumeric = sum(c_across(where(is.numeric)), na.rm = T))
# %>% dplyr::ungroup() # you'll likely want to ungroup after using rowwise()

In your specific case a row-wise variant exists so you can do the following (note the use of across instead):

df %>%
  dplyr::mutate(sumrow = rowSums(dplyr::across(x1:x5), na.rm = T))

For more information see the page on rowwise.

How to use a class from one C# project with another C# project

The first step is to make P2 reference P1 by doing the following

  • Right Click on the project and select "Add Reference"
  • Go to the Projects Tab
  • Select P1 and hit OK

Next you'll need to make sure that the classes in P1 are accessible to P2. The easiest way is to make them public.

public class MyType { ... }

Now you should be able to use them in P2 via their fully qualified name. Assuming the namespace of P1 is Project1 then the following would work

Project1.MyType obj = new Project1.MyType();

The preferred way though is to add a using for Project1 so you can use the types without qualification

using Project1;
...

public void Example() {
  MyType obj = new MyType();
}

Create SQLite database in android

If you want to keep the database between uninstalls you have to put it on the SD Card. This is the only place that won't be deleted at the moment your app is deleted. But in return it can be deleted by the user every time.

If you put your DB on the SD Card you can't use the SQLiteOpenHelper anymore, but you can use the source and the architecture of this class to get some ideas on how to implement the creation, updating and opening of a databse.

How to create custom button in Android using XML Styles

Two things you need to do, if you want to make a custom button design.

1st is: create a xml resource file in drawable folder (Example: btn_shape_rectangle.xml) then copy and paste the code there.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="16dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
    android:color="#fff"/>
<stroke
    android:width="1dp"
    android:color="#000000"
    />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>

2nd is go to your layout button where you want to implement this design. just link up it. Example: android:background="@drawable/btn_shape_rectangle"

You can change shape color radius what design you want can do.

Hope it will works and help you. Happy Coding

Removing multiple files from a Git repo that have already been deleted from disk

If you simply run:

git add -u

git will update its index to know that the files that you've deleted should actually be part of the next commit. Then you can run "git commit" to check in that change.

Or, if you run:

git commit -a

It will automatically take these changes (and any others) and commit them.

Update: If you only want to add deleted files, try:

git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm
git commit

DateTime's representation in milliseconds?

As of .NET 4.6, you can use a DateTimeOffset object to get the unix milliseconds. It has a constructor which takes a DateTime object, so you can just pass in your object as demonstrated below.

DateTime yourDateTime;
long yourDateTimeMilliseconds = new DateTimeOffset(yourDateTime).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();

As noted in other answers, make sure yourDateTime has the correct Kind specified, or use .ToUniversalTime() to convert it to UTC time first.

Here you can learn more about DateTimeOffset.

JQuery: if div is visible

You can use .is(':visible')

Selects all elements that are visible.

For example:

if($('#selectDiv').is(':visible')){

Also, you can get the div which is visible by:

$('div:visible').callYourFunction();

Live example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log($('#selectDiv').is(':visible'));_x000D_
console.log($('#visibleDiv').is(':visible'));
_x000D_
#selectDiv {_x000D_
  display: none;  _x000D_
}
_x000D_

Github "Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you do not have locally."

The error possibly comes because of the different structure of the code that you are committing and that present on GitHub. It creates conflicts which can be solved by

If you confirm that your new code is all fine you can use:

git push -f origin master

How do you convert an entire directory with ffmpeg?

The following script works well for me in a Bash on Windows (so it should work just as well on Linux and Mac). It addresses some problems I have had with some other solutions:

  • Processes files in subfolders
  • Replaces the source extension with the target extension instead of just appending it
  • Works with files with multiple spaces and multiple dots in the name (See this answer for details.)
  • Can be run when the target file exists, prompting before overwriting

ffmpeg-batch-convert.sh:

sourceExtension=$1 # e.g. "mp3"
targetExtension=$2 # e.g. "wav"
IFS=$'\n'; set -f
for sourceFile in $(find . -iname "*.$sourceExtension")
do
    targetFile="${sourceFile%.*}.$targetExtension"
    ffmpeg -i "$sourceFile" "$targetFile"
done
unset IFS; set +f

Example call:

$ sh ffmpeg-batch-convert.sh mp3 wav

As a bonus, if you want the source files deleted, you can modify the script like this:

sourceExtension=$1 # e.g. "mp3"
targetExtension=$2 # e.g. "wav"
deleteSourceFile=$3 # "delete" or omitted
IFS=$'\n'; set -f
for sourceFile in $(find . -iname "*.$sourceExtension")
do
    targetFile="${sourceFile%.*}.$targetExtension"
    ffmpeg -i "$sourceFile" "$targetFile"
    if [ "$deleteSourceFile" == "delete" ]; then
        if [ -f "$targetFile" ]; then
            rm "$sourceFile"
        fi
    fi
done
unset IFS; set +f

Example call:

$ sh ffmpeg-batch-convert.sh mp3 wav delete

What's the difference between using CGFloat and float?

CGFloat is a regular float on 32-bit systems and a double on 64-bit systems

typedef float CGFloat;// 32-bit
typedef double CGFloat;// 64-bit

So you won't get any performance penalty.

How to convert a date String to a Date or Calendar object?

In brief:

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
try {
  Date date = formatter.parse("01/29/02");
} catch (ParseException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

See SimpleDateFormat javadoc for more.

And to turn it into a Calendar, do:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
