Programs & Examples On #Service layer

A Service Layer represents one application boundary and consists of a set of available operations from the perspective of interfacing client layers. It encapsulates the application's business logic, controlling transactions and coordinating responses in the implementation of its operations. In enterprise OOP it is often the glue between an application's Model/Data Layers and its Presentation Layers.

Trying to create a file in Android: open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)

Here is simple sample from android developer.

Basically, you can write a file in the internal storage like this :

String FILENAME = "hello_file";
String string = "hello world!";

FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(string.getBytes());
fos.close();

Bootstrap 3: Offset isn't working?

Which version of bootstrap are you using? The early versions of Bootstrap 3 (3.0, 3.0.1) didn't work with this functionality.

col-md-offset-0 should be working as seen in this bootstrap example found here (http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-responsive-resets):

<div class="row">
   <div class="col-sm-5 col-md-6">.col-sm-5 .col-md-6</div>
   <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-2 col-md-6 col-md-offset-0">.col-sm-5 .col-sm-offset-2 .col-md-6 .col-md-offset-0</div>
</div>

How to add extra whitespace in PHP?

for adding space character you can use

<? 
echo "\x20\x20\x20"; 
 ?>

Mysql Compare two datetime fields

The query you want to show as an example is:

SELECT * FROM temp WHERE mydate > '2009-06-29 16:00:44';

04:00:00 is 4AM, so all the results you're displaying come after that, which is correct.

If you want to show everything after 4PM, you need to use the correct (24hr) notation in your query.

To make things a bit clearer, try this:

SELECT mydate, DATE_FORMAT(mydate, '%r') FROM temp;

That will show you the date, and its 12hr time.

How to center a component in Material-UI and make it responsive?

Since you are going to use this in a login page. Here is a code I used in a Login page using Material-UI

<Grid
  container
  spacing={0}
  direction="column"
  alignItems="center"
  justify="center"
  style={{ minHeight: '100vh' }}
>

  <Grid item xs={3}>
    <LoginForm />
  </Grid>   

</Grid> 

this will make this login form at the center of the screen.

But still IE doesn't support the Material-UI Grid and you will see some misplaced content in IE.

Hope this will help you.

How do I set a ViewModel on a window in XAML using DataContext property?

In addition to the solution that other people provided (which are good, and correct), there is a way to specify the ViewModel in XAML, yet still separate the specific ViewModel from the View. Separating them is useful for when you want to write isolated test cases.

In App.xaml:

<Application
    x:Class="BuildAssistantUI.App"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BuildAssistantUI.ViewModels"
    StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"
    >
    <Application.Resources>
        <local:MainViewModel x:Key="MainViewModel" />
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

In MainWindow.xaml:

<Window x:Class="BuildAssistantUI.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    DataContext="{StaticResource MainViewModel}"
    />

What is an NP-complete in computer science?

NP stands for Non-deterministic Polynomial time.

This means that the problem can be solved in Polynomial time using a Non-deterministic Turing machine (like a regular Turing machine but also including a non-deterministic "choice" function). Basically, a solution has to be testable in poly time. If that's the case, and a known NP problem can be solved using the given problem with modified input (an NP problem can be reduced to the given problem) then the problem is NP complete.

The main thing to take away from an NP-complete problem is that it cannot be solved in polynomial time in any known way. NP-Hard/NP-Complete is a way of showing that certain classes of problems are not solvable in realistic time.

Edit: As others have noted, there are often approximate solutions for NP-Complete problems. In this case, the approximate solution usually gives an approximation bound using special notation which tells us how close the approximation is.

mongodb group values by multiple fields

TLDR Summary

In modern MongoDB releases you can brute force this with $slice just off the basic aggregation result. For "large" results, run parallel queries instead for each grouping ( a demonstration listing is at the end of the answer ), or wait for SERVER-9377 to resolve, which would allow a "limit" to the number of items to $push to an array.

db.books.aggregate([
    { "$group": {
        "_id": {
            "addr": "$addr",
            "book": "$book"
        },
        "bookCount": { "$sum": 1 }
    }},
    { "$group": {
        "_id": "$_id.addr",
        "books": { 
            "$push": { 
                "book": "$_id.book",
                "count": "$bookCount"
            },
        },
        "count": { "$sum": "$bookCount" }
    }},
    { "$sort": { "count": -1 } },
    { "$limit": 2 },
    { "$project": {
        "books": { "$slice": [ "$books", 2 ] },
        "count": 1
    }}
])

MongoDB 3.6 Preview

Still not resolving SERVER-9377, but in this release $lookup allows a new "non-correlated" option which takes an "pipeline" expression as an argument instead of the "localFields" and "foreignFields" options. This then allows a "self-join" with another pipeline expression, in which we can apply $limit in order to return the "top-n" results.

db.books.aggregate([
  { "$group": {
    "_id": "$addr",
    "count": { "$sum": 1 }
  }},
  { "$sort": { "count": -1 } },
  { "$limit": 2 },
  { "$lookup": {
    "from": "books",
    "let": {
      "addr": "$_id"
    },
    "pipeline": [
      { "$match": { 
        "$expr": { "$eq": [ "$addr", "$$addr"] }
      }},
      { "$group": {
        "_id": "$book",
        "count": { "$sum": 1 }
      }},
      { "$sort": { "count": -1  } },
      { "$limit": 2 }
    ],
    "as": "books"
  }}
])

The other addition here is of course the ability to interpolate the variable through $expr using $match to select the matching items in the "join", but the general premise is a "pipeline within a pipeline" where the inner content can be filtered by matches from the parent. Since they are both "pipelines" themselves we can $limit each result separately.

This would be the next best option to running parallel queries, and actually would be better if the $match were allowed and able to use an index in the "sub-pipeline" processing. So which is does not use the "limit to $push" as the referenced issue asks, it actually delivers something that should work better.


Original Content

You seem have stumbled upon the top "N" problem. In a way your problem is fairly easy to solve though not with the exact limiting that you ask for:

db.books.aggregate([
    { "$group": {
        "_id": {
            "addr": "$addr",
            "book": "$book"
        },
        "bookCount": { "$sum": 1 }
    }},
    { "$group": {
        "_id": "$_id.addr",
        "books": { 
            "$push": { 
                "book": "$_id.book",
                "count": "$bookCount"
            },
        },
        "count": { "$sum": "$bookCount" }
    }},
    { "$sort": { "count": -1 } },
    { "$limit": 2 }
])

Now that will give you a result like this:

{
    "result" : [
            {
                    "_id" : "address1",
                    "books" : [
                            {
                                    "book" : "book4",
                                    "count" : 1
                            },
                            {
                                    "book" : "book5",
                                    "count" : 1
                            },
                            {
                                    "book" : "book1",
                                    "count" : 3
                            }
                    ],
                    "count" : 5
            },
            {
                    "_id" : "address2",
                    "books" : [
                            {
                                    "book" : "book5",
                                    "count" : 1
                            },
                            {
                                    "book" : "book1",
                                    "count" : 2
                            }
                    ],
                    "count" : 3
            }
    ],
    "ok" : 1
}

So this differs from what you are asking in that, while we do get the top results for the address values the underlying "books" selection is not limited to only a required amount of results.

This turns out to be very difficult to do, but it can be done though the complexity just increases with the number of items you need to match. To keep it simple we can keep this at 2 matches at most:

db.books.aggregate([
    { "$group": {
        "_id": {
            "addr": "$addr",
            "book": "$book"
        },
        "bookCount": { "$sum": 1 }
    }},
    { "$group": {
        "_id": "$_id.addr",
        "books": { 
            "$push": { 
                "book": "$_id.book",
                "count": "$bookCount"
            },
        },
        "count": { "$sum": "$bookCount" }
    }},
    { "$sort": { "count": -1 } },
    { "$limit": 2 },
    { "$unwind": "$books" },
    { "$sort": { "count": 1, "books.count": -1 } },
    { "$group": {
        "_id": "$_id",
        "books": { "$push": "$books" },
        "count": { "$first": "$count" }
    }},
    { "$project": {
        "_id": {
            "_id": "$_id",
            "books": "$books",
            "count": "$count"
        },
        "newBooks": "$books"
    }},
    { "$unwind": "$newBooks" },
    { "$group": {
      "_id": "$_id",
      "num1": { "$first": "$newBooks" }
    }},
    { "$project": {
        "_id": "$_id",
        "newBooks": "$_id.books",
        "num1": 1
    }},
    { "$unwind": "$newBooks" },
    { "$project": {
        "_id": "$_id",
        "num1": 1,
        "newBooks": 1,
        "seen": { "$eq": [
            "$num1",
            "$newBooks"
        ]}
    }},
    { "$match": { "seen": false } },
    { "$group":{
        "_id": "$_id._id",
        "num1": { "$first": "$num1" },
        "num2": { "$first": "$newBooks" },
        "count": { "$first": "$_id.count" }
    }},
    { "$project": {
        "num1": 1,
        "num2": 1,
        "count": 1,
        "type": { "$cond": [ 1, [true,false],0 ] }
    }},
    { "$unwind": "$type" },
    { "$project": {
        "books": { "$cond": [
            "$type",
            "$num1",
            "$num2"
        ]},
        "count": 1
    }},
    { "$group": {
        "_id": "$_id",
        "count": { "$first": "$count" },
        "books": { "$push": "$books" }
    }},
    { "$sort": { "count": -1 } }
])

So that will actually give you the top 2 "books" from the top two "address" entries.

But for my money, stay with the first form and then simply "slice" the elements of the array that are returned to take the first "N" elements.


Demonstration Code

The demonstration code is appropriate for usage with current LTS versions of NodeJS from v8.x and v10.x releases. That's mostly for the async/await syntax, but there is nothing really within the general flow that has any such restriction, and adapts with little alteration to plain promises or even back to plain callback implementation.

Sending POST data without form

Send your data with SESSION rather than post.

session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = "bar";

On the page where you recieve the request, if you absolutely need POST data (some weird logic), you can do this somwhere at the beginning:

$_POST['foo'] = $_SESSION['foo'];

The post data will be valid just the same as if it was sent with POST.

Then destroy the session (or just unset the fields if you need the session for other purposes).

It is important to destroy a session or unset the fields, because unlike POST, SESSION will remain valid until you explicitely destroy it or until the end of browser session. If you don't do it, you can observe some strange results. For example: you use sesson for filtering some data. The user switches the filter on and gets filtered data. After a while, he returns to the page and expects the filter to be reset, but it's not: he still sees filtered data.

How do you extract a column from a multi-dimensional array?

check it out!

a = [[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]]
a2 = zip(*a)
a2[0]

it is the same thing as above except somehow it is neater the zip does the work but requires single arrays as arguments, the *a syntax unpacks the multidimensional array into single array arguments

go to character in vim

vim +21490go script.py

From the command line will open the file and take you to position 21490 in the buffer.

Triggering it from the command line like this allows you to automate a script to parse the exception message and open the file to the problem position.


Excerpt from man vim:

+{command}

-c {command}

{command} will be executed after the first file has been read. {command} is interpreted as an Ex command. If the {command} contains spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes (this depends on the shell that is used).

What is the difference between primary, unique and foreign key constraints, and indexes?

1)A primary key is a set of one or more attributes that uniquely identifies tuple within relation.

2)A foreign key is a set of attributes from a relation scheme which can be uniquely identify tuples fron another relation scheme.

"while :" vs. "while true"

from manual:

: [arguments] No effect; the command does nothing beyond expanding arguments and performing any specified redirections. A zero exit code is returned.

As this returns always zero therefore is is similar to be used as true

Username and password in https url

When you put the username and password in front of the host, this data is not sent that way to the server. It is instead transformed to a request header depending on the authentication schema used. Most of the time this is going to be Basic Auth which I describe below. A similar (but significantly less often used) authentication scheme is Digest Auth which nowadays provides comparable security features.

With Basic Auth, the HTTP request from the question will look something like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Authorization: Basic Zm9vOnBhc3N3b3Jk

The hash like string you see there is created by the browser like this: base64_encode(username + ":" + password).

To outsiders of the HTTPS transfer, this information is hidden (as everything else on the HTTP level). You should take care of logging on the client and all intermediate servers though. The username will normally be shown in server logs, but the password won't. This is not guaranteed though. When you call that URL on the client with e.g. curl, the username and password will be clearly visible on the process list and might turn up in the bash history file.

When you send passwords in a GET request as e.g. http://example.com/login.php?username=me&password=secure the username and password will always turn up in server logs of your webserver, application server, caches, ... unless you specifically configure your servers to not log it. This only applies to servers being able to read the unencrypted http data, like your application server or any middleboxes such as loadbalancers, CDNs, proxies, etc. though.

Basic auth is standardized and implemented by browsers by showing this little username/password popup you might have seen already. When you put the username/password into an HTML form sent via GET or POST, you have to implement all the login/logout logic yourself (which might be an advantage and allows you to more control over the login/logout flow for the added "cost" of having to implement this securely again). But you should never transfer usernames and passwords by GET parameters. If you have to, use POST instead. The prevents the logging of this data by default.

When implementing an authentication mechanism with a user/password entry form and a subsequent cookie-based session as it is commonly used today, you have to make sure that the password is either transported with POST requests or one of the standardized authentication schemes above only.

Concluding I could say, that transfering data that way over HTTPS is likely safe, as long as you take care that the password does not turn up in unexpected places. But that advice applies to every transfer of any password in any way.

How to vertically center a container in Bootstrap?

In Bootstrap 4:

to center the child horizontally, use bootstrap-4 class:

justify-content-center

to center the child vertically, use bootstrap-4 class:

 align-items-center

but remember don't forget to use d-flex class with these it's a bootstrap-4 utility class, like so

<div class="d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="height:100px;">
    <span class="bg-primary">MIDDLE</span>    
</div>

Note: make sure to add bootstrap-4 utilities if this code does not work

I know it's not the direct answer to this question but it may help someone

Retrieve the commit log for a specific line in a file?

You can get a set of commits by using pick-axe.

git log -S'the line from your file' -- path/to/your/file.txt

This will give you all of the commits that affected that text in that file. If the file was renamed at some point, you can add --follow-parent.

If you would like to inspect the commits at each of these edits, you can pipe that result to git show:

git log ... | xargs -n 1 git show

MySQL Insert into multiple tables? (Database normalization?)

fairly simple if you use stored procedures:

call insert_user_and_profile('f00','http://www.f00.com');

full script:

drop table if exists users;
create table users
(
user_id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
username varchar(32) unique not null
)
engine=innodb;

drop table if exists user_profile;
create table user_profile
(
profile_id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
user_id int unsigned not null,
homepage varchar(255) not null,
key (user_id)
)
engine=innodb;

drop procedure if exists insert_user_and_profile;

delimiter #

create procedure insert_user_and_profile
(
in p_username varchar(32),
in p_homepage varchar(255)
)
begin
declare v_user_id int unsigned default 0;

insert into users (username) values (p_username);
set v_user_id = last_insert_id(); -- save the newly created user_id

insert into user_profile (user_id, homepage) values (v_user_id, p_homepage);

end#

delimiter ;

call insert_user_and_profile('f00','http://www.f00.com');

select * from users;
select * from user_profile;

How to add background image for input type="button"?

You need to type it without the word image.

background: url('/image/btn.png') no-repeat;

Tested both ways and this one works.

Example:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            .button{
                background: url(/image/btn.png) no-repeat;
                cursor:pointer;
                border: none;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="button" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
        <input type="image" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
        <input type="submit" name="button" value="Search" onclick="showUser()" class="button"/>
    </body>
</html>

TypeScript error: Type 'void' is not assignable to type 'boolean'

Your code is passing a function as an argument to find. That function takes an element argument (of type Conversation) and returns void (meaning there is no return value). TypeScript describes this as (element: Conversation) => void'

What TypeScript is saying is that the find function doesn't expect to receive a function that takes a Conversation and returns void. It expects a function that takes a Conversations, a number and a Conversation array, and that this function should return a boolean.

So bottom line is that you either need to change your code to pass in the values to find correctly, or else you need to provide an overload to the definition of find in your definition file that accepts a Conversation and returns void.

What range of values can integer types store in C++

Other folks here will post links to data_sizes and precisions etc.
I'm going to tell you how to figure it out yourself.
Write a small app that will do the following.

unsigned int ui;
std::cout <<  sizeof(ui));

this will (depending on compiler and archicture) print 2, 4 or 8, saying 2 bytes long, 4 bytes long etc.

Lets assume it's 4.

You now want the maximum value 4 bytes can store, the max value for one byte is (in hex)0xFF. The max value of four bytes is 0x followed by 8 f's (one pair of f's for each byte, the 0x tells the compiler that the following string is a hex number). Now change your program to assign that value and print the result

unsigned int ui = 0xFFFFFFFF;
std::cout <<  ui;

Thats the max value an unsigned int can hold, shown in base 10 representation.

Now do that for long's, shorts and any other INTEGER value you're curious about.

NB: This approach will not work for floating point numbers (i.e. double or float).

Hope this helps

How to determine the longest increasing subsequence using dynamic programming?

The O(NLog(N)) Approach To Find Longest Increasing Sub sequence
Let us maintain an array where the ith element is the smallest possible number with which a i sized sub sequence can end.

On purpose I am avoiding further details as the top voted answer already explains it, but this technique eventually leads to a neat implementation using the set data structure (at least in c++).

Here is the implementation in c++ (assuming strictly increasing longest sub sequence size is required)

#include <bits/stdc++.h> // gcc supported header to include (almost) everything
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;

int main()
{
  ll n;
  cin >> n;
  ll arr[n];
  set<ll> S;

  for(ll i=0; i<n; i++)
  {
    cin >> arr[i];
    auto it = S.lower_bound(arr[i]);
    if(it != S.end())
      S.erase(it);
    S.insert(arr[i]);
  }

  cout << S.size() << endl; // Size of the set is the required answer

  return 0;
}

how to upload file using curl with php

Use:

if (function_exists('curl_file_create')) { // php 5.5+
  $cFile = curl_file_create($file_name_with_full_path);
} else { // 
  $cFile = '@' . realpath($file_name_with_full_path);
}
$post = array('extra_info' => '123456','file_contents'=> $cFile);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

You can also refer:

http://blog.derakkilgo.com/2009/06/07/send-a-file-via-post-with-curl-and-php/

Important hint for PHP 5.5+:

Now we should use https://wiki.php.net/rfc/curl-file-upload but if you still want to use this deprecated approach then you need to set curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false);

Open a link in browser with java button?

I know that this is an old question but sometimes the Desktop.getDesktop() produces an unexpected crash like in Ubuntu 18.04. Therefore, I have to re-write my code like this:

public static void openURL(String domain)
{
    String url = "https://" + domain;
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    try {
        if (MUtils.isWindows()) {
            rt.exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url).waitFor();
            Debug.log("Browser: " + url);
        } else if (MUtils.isMac()) {
            String[] cmd = {"open", url};
            rt.exec(cmd).waitFor();
            Debug.log("Browser: " + url);
        } else if (MUtils.isUnix()) {
            String[] cmd = {"xdg-open", url};
            rt.exec(cmd).waitFor();
            Debug.log("Browser: " + url);
        } else {
            try {
                throw new IllegalStateException();
            } catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
                MUtils.alertMessage(Lang.get("desktop.not.supported"), MainPn.getMainPn());
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public static boolean isWindows()
{
    return OS.contains("win");
}

public static boolean isMac()
{
    return OS.contains("mac");
}

public static boolean isUnix()
{
    return OS.contains("nix") || OS.contains("nux") || OS.indexOf("aix") > 0;
}

Then we can call this helper from the instance:

button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        MUtils.openURL("www.google.com"); // just what is the 'open' method?
    }
});

How to modify a CSS display property from JavaScript?

I found the solution.

As said in the EDIT of my answer, a <div> is misfunctioning in a <table>. So I wrote this code instead :

<tr id="hidden" style="display:none;">
    <td class="depot_table_left">
        <label for="sexe">Sexe</label>
    </td>
    <td>
        <select type="text" name="sexe">
            <option value="1">Sexe</option>
            <option value="2">Joueur</option>
            <option value="3">Joueuse</option>
        </select>
    </td>
</tr>

And this is working fine.

Thanks everybody ;)

How can I discard remote changes and mark a file as "resolved"?

Make sure of the conflict origin: if it is the result of a git merge, see Brian Campbell's answer.

But if is the result of a git rebase, in order to discard remote (their) changes and use local changes, you would have to do a:

git checkout --theirs -- .

See "Why is the meaning of “ours” and “theirs” reversed"" to see how ours and theirs are swapped during a rebase (because the upstream branch is checked out).

How can I remove an element from a list, with lodash?

You can now use _.reject which allows you to filter based on what you need to get rid of, instead of what you need to keep.

unlike _.pull or _.remove that only work on arrays, ._reject is working on any Collection

obj.subTopics = _.reject(obj.subTopics, (o) => {
  return o.number >= 32;
});

Chrome: console.log, console.debug are not working

Sometimes the simplest things trip us up...

Type console.log in the console and check what function gets returned. If you see ƒ log() { [native code] } then it's something else. If you see ƒ (){} then somewhere down the line the native console.log function was changed.

Was working on a client's site today and that was the issue. If that's the case, you can either manually restore the console.log function or use console.dir() or console.warn() instead.

If you see ƒ (){} then there is a possibility that sometime console stops working due to some functionality you have added in your javascript. so first close all tabs restart chrome and in a new tab just typ1 console.log('hi'); if it prints that then it confirms that the problem is there in your script code. if not then restore the cosole.log.

To restore the console in new tab go to console and type delete window.console it will return true after that restart the chrome and you are good to go.

How to export a Hive table into a CSV file?

or use this

hive -e 'select * from your_Table' | sed 's/[\t]/,/g'  > /home/yourfile.csv

You can also specify property set hive.cli.print.header=true before the SELECT to ensure that header along with data is created and copied to file. For example:

hive -e 'set hive.cli.print.header=true; select * from your_Table' | sed 's/[\t]/,/g'  > /home/yourfile.csv

If you don't want to write to local file system, pipe the output of sed command back into HDFS using the hadoop fs -put command.

It may also be convenient to SFTP to your files using something like Cyberduck, or you can use scp to connect via terminal / command prompt.

CSS content property: is it possible to insert HTML instead of Text?

It is not possible prolly cuz it would be so easy to XSS. Also , current HTML sanitizers that are available don't disallow content property.

(Definitely not the greatest answer here but I just wanted to share an insight other than the "according to spec... ")

How to fire a button click event from JavaScript in ASP.NET

You can fill a hidden field from your JavaScript code and do an explicit postback from JavaScript. Then from the server side, check that hiddenfield and do whatever necessary.

How to discard all changes made to a branch?

If you don't want any changes in design and definitely want it to just match a remote's branch, you can also just delete the branch and recreate it:

# Switch to some branch other than design
$ git br -D design
$ git co -b design origin/design            # Will set up design to track origin's design branch

jQuery - Follow the cursor with a DIV

You can't follow the cursor with a DIV, but you can draw a DIV when moving the cursor!

$(document).on('mousemove', function(e){
    $('#your_div_id').css({
       left:  e.pageX,
       top:   e.pageY
    });
});

That div must be off the float, so position: absolute should be set.

Bootstrap 4 datapicker.js not included

You can use this and then you can add just a class form from bootstrap. (does not matter which version)

<div class="form-group">
 <label >Begin voorverkoop periode</label>
 <input type="date" name="bday" max="3000-12-31" 
        min="1000-01-01" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
 <label >Einde voorverkoop periode</label>
 <input type="date" name="bday" min="1000-01-01"
        max="3000-12-31" class="form-control">
</div>

How can I use threading in Python?

Like others mentioned, CPython can use threads only for I/O waits due to GIL.

If you want to benefit from multiple cores for CPU-bound tasks, use multiprocessing:

from multiprocessing import Process

def f(name):
    print 'hello', name

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

Live search through table rows

This one is Best in my case

  $("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
    var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
    $("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
      $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
    });
  });
});
</script>

How to parse a JSON Input stream

use jackson to convert json input stream to the map or object http://jackson.codehaus.org/

there are also some other usefull libraries for json, you can google: json java

Set a cookie to HttpOnly via Javascript

An HttpOnly cookie means that it's not available to scripting languages like JavaScript. So in JavaScript, there's absolutely no API available to get/set the HttpOnly attribute of the cookie, as that would otherwise defeat the meaning of HttpOnly.

Just set it as such on the server side using whatever server side language the server side is using. If JavaScript is absolutely necessary for this, you could consider to just let it send some (ajax) request with e.g. some specific request parameter which triggers the server side language to create an HttpOnly cookie. But, that would still make it easy for hackers to change the HttpOnly by just XSS and still have access to the cookie via JS and thus make the HttpOnly on your cookie completely useless.

How to generate the whole database script in MySQL Workbench?

In the top menu of MySQL Workbench click on database and then on forward engineer. In the options menu with which you will be presented, make sure to have "generate insert statements for tables" set.

Value Change Listener to JTextField

I am brand new to WindowBuilder, and, in fact, just getting back into Java after a few years, but I implemented "something", then thought I'd look it up and came across this thread.

I'm in the middle of testing this, so, based on being new to all this, I'm sure I must be missing something.

Here's what I did, where "runTxt" is a textbox and "runName" is a data member of the class:

public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
    if (e.getSource() == runTxt) {
        System.out.println("runTxt got focus");
        runTxt.selectAll();
    }
}

public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
    if (e.getSource() == runTxt) {
        System.out.println("runTxt lost focus");
        if(!runTxt.getText().equals(runName))runName= runTxt.getText();
        System.out.println("runText.getText()= " + runTxt.getText() + "; runName= " + runName);
    }
}

Seems a lot simpler than what's here so far, and seems to be working, but, since I'm in the middle of writing this, I'd appreciate hearing of any overlooked gotchas. Is it an issue that the user could enter & leave the textbox w/o making a change? I think all you've done is an unnecessary assignment.

How to change a field name in JSON using Jackson

There is one more option to rename field:

Jackson MixIns.

Useful if you deal with third party classes, which you are not able to annotate, or you just do not want to pollute the class with Jackson specific annotations.

The Jackson documentation for Mixins is outdated, so this example can provide more clarity. In essence: you create mixin class which does the serialization in the way you want. Then register it to the ObjectMapper:

objectMapper.addMixIn(ThirdParty.class, MyMixIn.class);

WordPress asking for my FTP credentials to install plugins

First move to your installation folder (for example)

cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/

Now we’re going to modify your htdocs directory:

sudo chown -R daemon htdocs

Enter your root password when prompted, then finish it out with a chmod call:

sudo chmod -R g+w htdocs

binning data in python with scipy/numpy

It's probably faster and easier to use numpy.digitize():

import numpy
data = numpy.random.random(100)
bins = numpy.linspace(0, 1, 10)
digitized = numpy.digitize(data, bins)
bin_means = [data[digitized == i].mean() for i in range(1, len(bins))]

An alternative to this is to use numpy.histogram():

bin_means = (numpy.histogram(data, bins, weights=data)[0] /
             numpy.histogram(data, bins)[0])

Try for yourself which one is faster... :)

onclick or inline script isn't working in extension

Chrome Extensions don't allow you to have inline JavaScript (documentation).
The same goes for Firefox WebExtensions (documentation).

You are going to have to do something similar to this:

Assign an ID to the link (<a onClick=hellYeah("xxx")> becomes <a id="link">), and use addEventListener to bind the event. Put the following in your popup.js file:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var link = document.getElementById('link');
    // onClick's logic below:
    link.addEventListener('click', function() {
        hellYeah('xxx');
    });
});

popup.js should be loaded as a separate script file:

<script src="popup.js"></script>

How to break out of nested loops?

for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    for(int j = 0; j < 1000; i++) {
       if(condition) {
          func(para1, para2...);
          return;
       }
    }
}

func(para1, para2...) {
    stmt2;
}

Showing all session data at once?

For print session data you do not need to use print_r() function every time .

If you use it then it will be non-readable format.Data will be looks very dirty.

But if you use my function all you have to do is to use p()-Funtion and pass data into it. //create new file into application/cms_helper.php and load helper cms into //autoload or on controller

/*Copy Code for p function from here and paste into cms_helper.php in application/helpers folder */

   //@parram $data-array,$d-if true then die by default it is false
   //@author Your name

    function p($data,$d = false){

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

        if($d == TRUE){
             die();
          } 
      }

Just remember to load cms_helper into your project or controller using $this->load->helper('cms'); use bellow code into your controller or model it will works just GREAT.

 p($this->session->all_userdata()); // it will apply pre to your sesison data and other array as  well

jquery background-color change on focus and blur

#FFFFEEE is not a correct color code. Try with #FFFFEE instead.

What is the point of "Initial Catalog" in a SQL Server connection string?

Setting an Initial Catalog allows you to set the database that queries run on that connection will use by default. If you do not set this for a connection to a server in which multiple databases are present, in many cases you will be required to have a USE statement in every query in order to explicitly declare which database you are trying to run the query on. The Initial Catalog setting is a good way of explicitly declaring a default database.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1888, result=0, data=null} to activity

My problem was in the called activity when it tries to return to the previous activity by "finishing." I was incorrectly setting the intent. The following code is Kotlin.

I was doing this:

        intent.putExtra("foo", "bar")
        finish()

When I should have been doing this:

        val result = Intent()
        result.putExtra("foo", "bar")
        setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, result)
        finish()

Resize command prompt through commands

mode con:cols=[whatever you want] lines=[whatever you want].

The unit is the number of characters that fit in the command prompt, eg.

mode con:cols=80 lines=100

will make the command prompt 80 ASCII chars of width and 100 of height

get all the elements of a particular form

You can use FormData if you want the values:

var form = document.getElementById('form-name');
var data = new FormData(form);
for (var [key, value] of data) {
    console.log(key, value)
}

How to run composer from anywhere?

For MAC and LINUX use the following procedure:

Add the directory where composer.phar is located to you PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/yourdirectory

and then rename composer.phar to composer:

mv composer.phar composer

make *** no targets specified and no makefile found. stop

You had to have something like this:

"configure: error: "Error: libcrypto required."

after your ./configure runs. So you need to resolve noticed dependencies first and then try ./configure once more time and then run make !

CSS vertical-align: text-bottom;

Modern solution

Flexbox was created for exactly these kind of problems:

_x000D_
_x000D_
#container {_x000D_
    height: 150px;/*Only for the demo.*/_x000D_
    background-color:green;/*Only for the demo.*/_x000D_
    display: flex;_x000D_
    justify-content: center;_x000D_
    align-items: flex-end;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="container">_x000D_
    <span>Text align to center bottom.</span>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Old school solution

If you don't want to mess with table displays, then you can create a <div> inside a relatively positioned parent container, place it to the bottom with absolute positioning, then make it 100% wide, so you can text-align it to the center:

_x000D_
_x000D_
#container {_x000D_
    height: 150px;/*Only for the demo.*/_x000D_
    background-color:green;/*Only for the demo.*/_x000D_
    position: relative;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#text {_x000D_
    position: absolute;_x000D_
    bottom: 0;_x000D_
    width: 100%;_x000D_
    text-align: center;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="container">_x000D_
    <span id="text">Text align to center bottom.</span>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to locate the git config file in Mac

The solution to the problem is:

  1. Find the .gitconfig file

  2. [user] name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423 email = [email protected] [credential] helper = osxkeychain [url ""] insteadOf = git:// [url "https://"] [url "https://"] insteadOf = git://

there would be a blank url="" replace it with url="https://"

[user]
    name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423
    email = [email protected]
[credential]
    helper = osxkeychain
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://
[url "https://"]
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://

This will work :)

How do I embed a mp4 movie into my html?

If you have an mp4 video residing at your server, and you want the visitors to stream that over your HTML page.

<video width="480" height="320" controls="controls">
<source src="http://serverIP_or_domain/location_of_video.mp4" type="video/mp4">

Concatenate two char* strings in a C program

The way it works is to:

  1. Malloc memory large enough to hold copies of str1 and str2
  2. Then it copies str1 into str3
  3. Then it appends str2 onto the end of str3
  4. When you're using str3 you'd normally free it free (str3);

Here's an example for you play with. It's very simple and has no hard-coded lengths. You can try it here: http://ideone.com/d3g1xs

See this post for information about size of char

#include <stdio.h>
#include <memory.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

      char* str1;
      char* str2;
      str1 = "sssss";
      str2 = "kkkk";
      char * str3 = (char *) malloc(1 + strlen(str1)+ strlen(str2) );
      strcpy(str3, str1);
      strcat(str3, str2);
      printf("%s", str3);

      return 0;
 }

CakePHP select default value in SELECT input

If you are using cakephp version 3.0 and above, then you can add default value in select input using empty attribute as given in below example.

echo $this->Form->input('category_id', ['options'=>$categories,'empty'=>'Choose']);

Limit results in jQuery UI Autocomplete

Adding to Andrew's answer, you can even introduce a maxResults property and use it this way:

$("#auto").autocomplete({ 
    maxResults: 10,
    source: function(request, response) {
        var results = $.ui.autocomplete.filter(src, request.term);
        response(results.slice(0, this.options.maxResults));
    }
});

The type WebMvcConfigurerAdapter is deprecated

I have been working on Swagger equivalent documentation library called Springfox nowadays and I found that in the Spring 5.0.8 (running at present), interface WebMvcConfigurer has been implemented by class WebMvcConfigurationSupport class which we can directly extend.

import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurationSupport;

public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport { }

And this is how I have used it for setting my resource handling mechanism as follows -

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addResourceHandler("swagger-ui.html")
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");

    registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
            .addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");

  • Do : day of the Month

  • MMMM : Full Month name

  • YYYY : 4 digits Year

SELECT                  @sqlStatement = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @tableName + ' DROP CONSTRAINT ' + dc.name + ';'

Convert a Python list with strings all to lowercase or uppercase

It can be done with list comprehensions. These basically take the form of [function-of-item for item in some-list]. For example, to create a new list where all the items are lower-cased (or upper-cased in the second snippet), you would use:

>>> [x.lower() for x in ["A","B","C"]]
['a', 'b', 'c']

>>> [x.upper() for x in ["a","b","c"]]
['A', 'B', 'C']

You can also use the map function:

>>> map(lambda x:x.lower(),["A","B","C"])
['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> map(lambda x:x.upper(),["a","b","c"])
['A', 'B', 'C']

ASP.NET MVC JsonResult Date Format

I found that creating a new JsonResult and returning that is unsatisfactory - having to replace all calls to return Json(obj) with return new MyJsonResult { Data = obj } is a pain.


So I figured, why not just hijack the JsonResult using an ActionFilter:

public class JsonNetFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
    {
        if (filterContext.Result is JsonResult == false)
        {
            return;
        }

        filterContext.Result = new JsonNetResult(
            (JsonResult)filterContext.Result);
    }

    private class JsonNetResult : JsonResult
    {
        public JsonNetResult(JsonResult jsonResult)
        {
            this.ContentEncoding = jsonResult.ContentEncoding;
            this.ContentType = jsonResult.ContentType;
            this.Data = jsonResult.Data;
            this.JsonRequestBehavior = jsonResult.JsonRequestBehavior;
            this.MaxJsonLength = jsonResult.MaxJsonLength;
            this.RecursionLimit = jsonResult.RecursionLimit;
        }

        public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
        {
            if (context == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
            }

            var isMethodGet = string.Equals(
                context.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod, 
                "GET", 
                StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

            if (this.JsonRequestBehavior == JsonRequestBehavior.DenyGet
                && isMethodGet)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException(
                    "GET not allowed! Change JsonRequestBehavior to AllowGet.");
            }

            var response = context.HttpContext.Response;

            response.ContentType = string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.ContentType) 
                ? "application/json" 
                : this.ContentType;

            if (this.ContentEncoding != null)
            {
                response.ContentEncoding = this.ContentEncoding;
            }

            if (this.Data != null)
            {
                response.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(this.Data));
            }
        }
    }
}

This can be applied to any method returning a JsonResult to use JSON.Net instead:

[JsonNetFilter]
public ActionResult GetJson()
{
    return Json(new { hello = new Date(2015, 03, 09) }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)
}

which will respond with

{"hello":"2015-03-09T00:00:00+00:00"}

as desired!


You can, if you don't mind calling the is comparison at every request, add this to your FilterConfig:

// ...
filters.Add(new JsonNetFilterAttribute());

and all of your JSON will now be serialized with JSON.Net instead of the built-in JavaScriptSerializer.

How do I center content in a div using CSS?

By using transform: works like a charm!

<div class="parent">
    <span>center content using transform</span>
    </div>

    //CSS
    .parent {
        position: relative;
        height: 200px;
        border: 1px solid;
    }
    .parent span {
        position: absolute;
        top: 50%;
        left: 50%;
        -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
        transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    }

JPA COUNT with composite primary key query not working

Use count(d.ertek) or count(d.id) instead of count(d). This can be happen when you have composite primary key at your entity.

Add st, nd, rd and th (ordinal) suffix to a number

function getSuffix(n) {return n < 11 || n > 13 ? ['st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th'][Math.min((n - 1) % 10, 3)] : 'th'}

iPhone Navigation Bar Title text color

You should call [label sizeToFit]; after setting the text to prevent strange offsets when the label is automatically repositioned in the title view when other buttons occupy the nav bar.

Remove a cookie

You could set a session variable based on cookie values

session_start();

if(isset($_COOKIE['loggedin']) && ($_COOKIE['loggedin'] == "true") ){
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true";
}

echo ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "true" ? "You are logged in" : "Please Login to continue");

Adding text to ImageView in Android

Use drawalbeLeft/Right/Bottom/Top in TextView to render image at respective position.

        <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/image"    
        android:text="@strings/text" 
        />

How to file split at a line number

file_name=test.log

# set first K lines:
K=1000

# line count (N): 
N=$(wc -l < $file_name)

# length of the bottom file:
L=$(( $N - $K ))

# create the top of file: 
head -n $K $file_name > top_$file_name

# create bottom of file: 
tail -n $L $file_name > bottom_$file_name

Also, on second thought, split will work in your case, since the first split is larger than the second. Split puts the balance of the input into the last split, so

split -l 300000 file_name

will output xaa with 300k lines and xab with 100k lines, for an input with 400k lines.

The maximum recursion 100 has been exhausted before statement completion

Specify the maxrecursion option at the end of the query:

...
from EmployeeTree
option (maxrecursion 0)

That allows you to specify how often the CTE can recurse before generating an error. Maxrecursion 0 allows infinite recursion.

Query to get only numbers from a string

Please try:

declare @var nvarchar(max)='Balance1000sheet'

SELECT LEFT(Val,PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', Val+'a')-1) from(
    SELECT SUBSTRING(@var, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', @var), LEN(@var)) Val
)x

converting a javascript string to a html object

Had the same issue. I used a dirty trick like so:

var s = '<div id="myDiv"></div>';
var temp = document.createElement('div');
temp.innerHTML = s;
var htmlObject = temp.firstChild;

Now, you can add styles the way you like:

htmlObject.style.marginTop = something;

How do I change the hover over color for a hover over table in Bootstrap?

How can I throw a general exception in Java?

Java has a large number of built-in exceptions for different scenarios.

In this case, you should throw an IllegalArgumentException, since the problem is that the caller passed a bad parameter.

Get user profile picture by Id

As per the current latest Facebook API version 3.2, For users you can use this generic method for getting profile picture is https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/{user-id}/picture?type=square you can visit documentation for user picture here. The possible values for type parameter in URL can be small, normal, album, large, square

For Groups and Pages, the profile picture is not available directly. You have to get them using access token. For Groups you have to use User Access Token and for Pages you can use both User Access Token and Page Access Token.

You can get Group's or Page's Profile Picture using the generic URL: https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/{user-id}/picture?access_token={access-token}&type=square

I hope this is helpful for people who are looking for Page or Group Profile picture.

How to make HTML open a hyperlink in another window or tab?

Simplest way is to add a target tag.

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="Starfall">Starfall</a>

Use a different value for the target attribute for each link if you want them to open in different tabs, the same value for the target attribute if you want them to replace the other ones.

How do you force a CIFS connection to unmount

I had this issue for a day until I found the real resolution. Instead of trying to force unmount an smb share that is hung, mount the share with the "soft" option. If a process attempts to connect to the share that is not available it will stop trying after a certain amount of time.

soft Make the mount soft. Fail file system calls after a number of seconds.

mount -t smbfs -o soft //username@server/share /users/username/smb/share

stat /users/username/smb/share/file
stat: /users/username/smb/share/file: stat: Operation timed out

May not be a real answer to your question but it is a solution to the problem

How to Set Variables in a Laravel Blade Template

In Laravel 5.1, 5.2:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/views#sharing-data-with-all-views

You may need to share a piece of data with all views that are rendered by your application. You may do so using the view factory's share method. Typically, you should place calls to share within a service provider's boot method. You are free to add them to the AppServiceProvider or generate a separate service provider to house them.

Edit file: /app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{        
    public function boot()
    {
        view()->share('key', 'value');
    }

    public function register()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Writing an Excel file in EPPlus

Have you looked at the samples provided with EPPlus?

This one shows you how to create a file http://epplus.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ContentSheetExample

This one shows you how to use it to stream back a file http://epplus.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WebapplicationExample

This is how we use the package to generate a file.

Django - limiting query results

Yes. If you want to fetch a limited subset of objects, you can with the below code:

Example:

obj=emp.objects.all()[0:10]

The beginning 0 is optional, so

obj=emp.objects.all()[:10]

The above code returns the first 10 instances.

How to skip the OPTIONS preflight request?

I think best way is check if request is of type "OPTIONS" return 200 from middle ware. It worked for me.

express.use('*',(req,res,next) =>{
      if (req.method == "OPTIONS") {
        res.status(200);
        res.send();
      }else{
        next();
      }
    });

Display help message with python argparse when script is called without any arguments

This isn't good (also, because intercepts all errors), but:

def _error(parser):
    def wrapper(interceptor):
        parser.print_help()

        sys.exit(-1)

    return wrapper

def _args_get(args=sys.argv[1:]):
    parser = argparser.ArgumentParser()

    parser.error = _error(parser)

    parser.add_argument(...)
    ...

Here is definition of the error function of the ArgumentParser class:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/276eb67c29d05a93fbc22eea5470282e73700d20/Lib/argparse.py#L2374

. As you see, following signature, it takes two arguments. However, functions outside the class nothing knows about first argument: self, because, roughly speaking, this is parameter for the class. (I know, that you know...) Thereby, just pass own self and message in _error(...) can't (

def _error(self, message):
    self.print_help()

    sys.exit(-1)

def _args_get(args=sys.argv[1:]):
    parser = argparser.ArgumentParser()

    parser.error = _error
    ...
...

will output:

...
"AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'print_help'"

). You can pass parser (self) in _error function, by calling it:

def _error(self, message):
    self.print_help()

    sys.exit(-1)

def _args_get(args=sys.argv[1:]):
    parser = argparser.ArgumentParser()

    parser.error = _error(parser)
    ...
...

, but you don't want exit the program, right now. Then return it:

def _error(parser):
    def wrapper():
        parser.print_help()

        sys.exit(-1)

    return wrapper
...

. Nonetheless, parser doesn't know, that it has been modified, thus when an error occurs, it will send cause of it (by the way, its localized translation). Well, then intercept it:

def _error(parser):
    def wrapper(interceptor):
        parser.print_help()

        sys.exit(-1)

    return wrapper
...

. Now, when error occurs and parser will send cause of it, you'll intercept it, look at this, and... throw out.

Why is my JQuery selector returning a n.fn.init[0], and what is it?

I faced this issue because my selector was depend on id meanwhile I did not set id for my element

my selector was

$("#EmployeeName")

but my HTML element

<input type="text" name="EmployeeName">

so just make sure that your selector criteria are valid

CSS values using HTML5 data attribute

You can create with javascript some css-rules, which you can later use in your styles: http://jsfiddle.net/ARTsinn/vKbda/

var addRule = (function (sheet) {
    if(!sheet) return;
    return function (selector, styles) {
        if (sheet.insertRule) return sheet.insertRule(selector + " {" + styles + "}", sheet.cssRules.length);
        if (sheet.addRule) return sheet.addRule(selector, styles);
    }
}(document.styleSheets[document.styleSheets.length - 1]));

var i = 101;
while (i--) {
    addRule("[data-width='" + i + "%']", "width:" + i + "%");
}

This creates 100 pseudo-selectors like this:

[data-width='1%'] { width: 1%; }
[data-width='2%'] { width: 2%; }
[data-width='3%'] { width: 3%; }
...
[data-width='100%'] { width: 100%; }

Note: This is a bit offtopic, and not really what you (or someone) wants, but maybe helpful.

What should main() return in C and C++?

Omit return 0

When a C or C++ program reaches the end of main the compiler will automatically generate code to return 0, so there is no need to put return 0; explicitly at the end of main.

Note: when I make this suggestion, it's almost invariably followed by one of two kinds of comments: "I didn't know that." or "That's bad advice!" My rationale is that it's safe and useful to rely on compiler behavior explicitly supported by the standard. For C, since C99; see ISO/IEC 9899:1999 section 5.1.2.2.3:

[...] a return from the initial call to the main function is equivalent to calling the exit function with the value returned by the main function as its argument; reaching the } that terminates the main function returns a value of 0.

For C++, since the first standard in 1998; see ISO/IEC 14882:1998 section 3.6.1:

If control reaches the end of main without encountering a return statement, the effect is that of executing return 0;

All versions of both standards since then (C99 and C++98) have maintained the same idea. We rely on automatically generated member functions in C++, and few people write explicit return; statements at the end of a void function. Reasons against omitting seem to boil down to "it looks weird". If, like me, you're curious about the rationale for the change to the C standard read this question. Also note that in the early 1990s this was considered "sloppy practice" because it was undefined behavior (although widely supported) at the time.

Additionally, the C++ Core Guidelines contains multiple instances of omitting return 0; at the end of main and no instances in which an explicit return is written. Although there is not yet a specific guideline on this particular topic in that document, that seems at least a tacit endorsement of the practice.

So I advocate omitting it; others disagree (often vehemently!) In any case, if you encounter code that omits it, you'll know that it's explicitly supported by the standard and you'll know what it means.

How to delete selected text in the vi editor

I am using PuTTY and the vi editor. If I select five lines using my mouse and I want to delete those lines, how can I do that?

Forget the mouse. To remove 5 lines, either:

  • Go to the first line and type d5d (dd deletes one line, d5d deletes 5 lines) ~or~
  • Type Shift-v to enter linewise selection mode, then move the cursor down using j (yes, use h, j, k and l to move left, down, up, right respectively, that's much more efficient than using the arrows) and type d to delete the selection.

Also, how can I select the lines using my keyboard as I can in Windows where I press Shift and move the arrows to select the text? How can I do that in vi?

As I said, either use Shift-v to enter linewise selection mode or v to enter characterwise selection mode or Ctrl-v to enter blockwise selection mode. Then move with h, j, k and l.

I suggest spending some time with the Vim Tutor (run vimtutor) to get more familiar with Vim in a very didactic way.

Is it possible to convert char[] to char* in C?

It sounds like you're confused between pointers and arrays. Pointers and arrays (in this case char * and char []) are not the same thing.

  • An array char a[SIZE] says that the value at the location of a is an array of length SIZE
  • A pointer char *a; says that the value at the location of a is a pointer to a char. This can be combined with pointer arithmetic to behave like an array (eg, a[10] is 10 entries past wherever a points)

In memory, it looks like this (example taken from the FAQ):

 char a[] = "hello";  // array

   +---+---+---+---+---+---+
a: | h | e | l | l | o |\0 |
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+

 char *p = "world"; // pointer

   +-----+     +---+---+---+---+---+---+
p: |  *======> | w | o | r | l | d |\0 |
   +-----+     +---+---+---+---+---+---+

It's easy to be confused about the difference between pointers and arrays, because in many cases, an array reference "decays" to a pointer to it's first element. This means that in many cases (such as when passed to a function call) arrays become pointers. If you'd like to know more, this section of the C FAQ describes the differences in detail.

One major practical difference is that the compiler knows how long an array is. Using the examples above:

char a[] = "hello";  
char *p =  "world";  

sizeof(a); // 6 - one byte for each character in the string,
           // one for the '\0' terminator
sizeof(p); // whatever the size of the pointer is
           // probably 4 or 8 on most machines (depending on whether it's a 
           // 32 or 64 bit machine)

Without seeing your code, it's hard to recommend the best course of action, but I suspect changing to use pointers everywhere will solve the problems you're currently having. Take note that now:

  • You will need to initialise memory wherever the arrays used to be. Eg, char a[10]; will become char *a = malloc(10 * sizeof(char));, followed by a check that a != NULL. Note that you don't actually need to say sizeof(char) in this case, because sizeof(char) is defined to be 1. I left it in for completeness.

  • Anywhere you previously had sizeof(a) for array length will need to be replaced by the length of the memory you allocated (if you're using strings, you could use strlen(), which counts up to the '\0').

  • You will need a make a corresponding call to free() for each call to malloc(). This tells the computer you are done using the memory you asked for with malloc(). If your pointer is a, just write free(a); at a point in the code where you know you no longer need whatever a points to.

As another answer pointed out, if you want to get the address of the start of an array, you can use:

char* p = &a[0] 

You can read this as "char pointer p becomes the address of element [0] of a".

How to get parameter value for date/time column from empty MaskedTextBox

You're storing the .Text properties of the textboxes directly into the database, this doesn't work. The .Text properties are Strings (i.e. simple text) and not typed as DateTime instances. Do the conversion first, then it will work.

Do this for each date parameter:

Dim bookIssueDate As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact( txtBookDateIssue.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture ) cmd.Parameters.Add( New OleDbParameter("@Date_Issue", bookIssueDate ) ) 

Note that this code will crash/fail if a user enters an invalid date, e.g. "64/48/9999", I suggest using DateTime.TryParse or DateTime.TryParseExact, but implementing that is an exercise for the reader.

Prevent scrolling of parent element when inner element scroll position reaches top/bottom?

You can try it this way:

$('#element').on('shown', function(){ 
   $('body').css('overflow-y', 'hidden');
   $('body').css('margin-left', '-17px');
});

$('#element').on('hide', function(){ 
   $('body').css('overflow-y', 'scroll');
   $('body').css('margin-left', '0px');
});

What is the most efficient way to concatenate N arrays?

You can use jsperf.com site to compare perfomance. Here is link to concat.

Added comparison between:

var c = a.concat(b);

and:

var c = [];
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
    c.push(a[i]);
}
for (j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
    c.push(b[j]);
}

The second is almost 10 times slower in chrome.

Run a PostgreSQL .sql file using command line arguments

Of course, you will get a fatal error for authenticating, because you do not include a user name...

Try this one, it is OK for me :)

psql -U username -d myDataBase -a -f myInsertFile

If the database is remote, use the same command with host

psql -h host -U username -d myDataBase -a -f myInsertFile

Unable to add window -- token android.os.BinderProxy is not valid; is your activity running?

  • In my case the issue is occurred because of am trying to open/show dialog box in onPostExecute AsyncTask

  • However its an wrong method of showing dialog or Ui changes in onPostExecute.

  • For that, we need to check the activity is in active Eg : !isFinishing() , if the activity is not finished then only able to show our dialog box or ui change.

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String response_str) {
    
       getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        if (!((Activity) mContext).isFinishing()) {
                            try {
                                ShowAgilDialog();
                            } catch (WindowManager.BadTokenException e) {
                                Log.e("WindowManagerBad ", e.toString());
                            }
                        }
                    }
                });
    }
    

In PHP, how do you change the key of an array element?

You could use a second associative array that maps human readable names to the id's. That would also provide a Many to 1 relationship. Then do something like this:

echo 'Widgets: ' . $data[$humanreadbleMapping['Widgets']];

non static method cannot be referenced from a static context

Violating the Java naming conventions (variable names and method names start with lowercase, class names start with uppercase) is contributing to your confusion.

The variable Random is only "in scope" inside the main method. It's not accessible to any methods called by main. When you return from main, the variable disappears (it's part of the stack frame).

If you want all of the methods of your class to use the same Random instance, declare a member variable:

class MyObj {
  private final Random random = new Random();
  public void compTurn() {
    while (true) {
      int a = random.nextInt(10);
      if (possibles[a] == 1) 
        break;
    }
  }
}

How to use getJSON, sending data with post method?

I had code that was doing getJSON. I simply replaced it with post. To my surprise, it worked

   $.post("@Url.Action("Command")", { id: id, xml: xml })
      .done(function (response) {
           // stuff
        })
        .fail(function (jqxhr, textStatus, error) {
           // stuff
        });



    [HttpPost]
    public JsonResult Command(int id, string xml)
    {
          // stuff
    } 

How do I install Python OpenCV through Conda?

On Linux, as discussed here, the best way to get opencv at present is from loopbio at conda-forge:

conda install -c loopbio -c conda-forge -c pkgw-forge ffmpeg-feature ffmpeg gtk2 opencv

If you have 'a modern CPU' there exists also a compiled version "enabling all modern CPU instruction set extensions [...] and against libjpeg-turbo":

conda install -c loopbio -c conda-forge -c pkgw-forge ffmpeg-feature ffmpeg gtk2 opencv-turbo`

Two of the solutions mentioned in other answers don't work unconditionally:

  • The conda you get through conda install opencv or pip install opencv-python doesn't have gtk2 support, so you can't display images through imshow.
  • Conda built by Menpo (conda install -c menpo opencv3) has gtk2 support, but
    • they have only built OpenCV 3.2 for Python 3.5, not Python 3.6
    • Ubuntu 16.10 has deprecated libpng12, leading to a missing dependency and the following error when trying to import cv2: ImportError: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, as discussed here

EDIT: @Yamaneko points out that as of 14 June 2017, "there is an issue with loopbio's OpenCV version 3.2.0. It silently fails to read and write videos. It is due to a combination of an upstream OpenCV issue in combination with an old GCC. More details here. There is a PR on its way to solve the issue."

Does Android support near real time push notification?

Why dont you go with the XMPP implementation. right now there are so many public servers available including gtalk, jabber, citadel etc. For Android there is one SDK is also available named as SMACK. This we cant say a push notification but using the XMPP you can keep a connection open between client and server which will allow a two way communication. Means Android client and server both can communicate to each other. At present this will fulfill the need of Push in android. I have implemented a sample code and it really works great

RS256 vs HS256: What's the difference?

There is a difference in performance.

Simply put HS256 is about 1 order of magnitude faster than RS256 for verification but about 2 orders of magnitude faster than RS256 for issuing (signing).

 640,251  91,464.3 ops/s
  86,123  12,303.3 ops/s (RS256 verify)
   7,046   1,006.5 ops/s (RS256 sign)

Don't get hung up on the actual numbers, just think of them with respect of each other.

Error while inserting date - Incorrect date value:

You need to convert the date to YYYY-MM-DD in order to insert it as a MySQL date using the default configuration.

One way to do that is STR_TO_DATE():

insert into your_table (...)

CSS: auto height on containing div, 100% height on background div inside containing div

In 2018 a lot of browsers support the Flexbox and Grid which are very powerful CSS display modes that overshine classical methods such as Faux Columns or Tabular Displays (which are treated later in this answer).

In order to implement this with the Grid, it is enough to specify display: grid and grid-template-columns on the container. The grid-template-columns depends on the number of columns you have, in this example I will use 3 columns, hence the property will look: grid-template-columns: auto auto auto, which basically means that each of the columns will have auto width.

Full working example with Grid:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html, body {_x000D_
    padding: 0;_x000D_
    margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.grid-container {_x000D_
    display: grid;_x000D_
    grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;_x000D_
    width: 100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.grid-item {_x000D_
    padding: 20px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.a {_x000D_
    background-color: DarkTurquoise;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.b {_x000D_
    background-color: LightSalmon;_x000D_

.c {_x000D_

Another way would be to use the Flexbox by specifying display: flex on the container of the columns, and giving the columns a relevant width. In the example that I will be using, which is with 3 columns, you basically need to split 100% in 3, so it's 33.3333% (close enough, who cares about 0.00003333... which isn't visible anyway).

Full working example using Flexbox:

_x000D_

    padding: 0;_x000D_
    margin: 0;_x000D_

The Flexbox and Grid are supported by all major browsers since 2017/2018, fact also confirmed by caniuse.com: Can I use grid, Can I use flex.

There are also a number of classical solutions, used before the age of Flexbox and Grid, like OneTrueLayout Technique, Faux Columns Technique, CSS Tabular Display Technique and there is also a Layering Technique.

I do not recommend using these methods for they have a hackish nature and are not so elegant in my opinion, but it is good to know them for academic reasons.

A solution for equally height-ed columns is the CSS Tabular Display Technique that means to use the display:table feature. It works for Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+ and IE8.

The code for the CSS Tabular Display:

_x000D_
_x000D_
#container {_x000D_
  display: table;_x000D_
  background-color: #CCC;_x000D_
  margin: 0 auto;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.row {_x000D_
  display: table-row;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.col {_x000D_
  display: table-cell;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#col1 {_x000D_
  background-color: #0CC;_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#col2 {_x000D_
  background-color: #9F9;_x000D_
  width: 300px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#col3 {_x000D_
  background-color: #699;_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="container">_x000D_

    <div id="col2" class="col">_x000D_

Even if there is a problem with the auto-expanding of the width of the table-cell it can be resolved easy by inserting another div withing the table-cell and giving it a fixed width. Anyway, the over-expanding of the width happens in the case of using extremely long words (which I doubt anyone would use a, let's say, 600px long word) or some div's who's width is greater than the table-cell's width.

The Faux Column Technique is the most popular classical solution to this problem, but it has some drawbacks such as, you have to resize the background tiled image if you want to resize the columns and it is also not an elegant solution.

The OneTrueLayout Technique consists of creating a padding-bottom of an extreme big height and cut it out by bringing the real border position to the "normal logical position" by applying a negative margin-bottom of the same huge value and hiding the extent created by the padding with overflow: hidden applied to the content wraper. A simplified example would be:

Working example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.wraper {_x000D_
    overflow: hidden; /* This is important */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.floatLeft {_x000D_
    float: left;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.block {_x000D_
    padding-left: 20px;_x000D_
    padding-right: 20px;_x000D_
    padding-bottom: 30000px; /* This is important */_x000D_
    margin-bottom: -30000px; /* This is important */_x000D_
    width: 33.3333%;_x000D_
    box-sizing: border-box; /* This is so that the padding right and left does not affect the width */_x000D_
}_x000D_

The Layering Technique must be a very neat solution that involves absolute positioning of div's withing a main relative positioned wrapper div. It basically consists of a number of child divs and the main div. The main div has imperatively position: relative to it's css attribute collection. The children of this div are all imperatively position:absolute. The children must have top and bottom set to 0 and left-right dimensions set to accommodate the columns with each another. For example if we have two columns, one of width 100px and the other one of 200px, considering that we want the 100px in the left side and the 200px in the right side, the left column must have {left: 0; right: 200px} and the right column {left: 100px; right: 0;}

In my opinion the unimplemented 100% height within an automated height container is a major drawback and the W3C should consider revising this attribute (which since 2018 is solvable with Flexbox and Grid).

What happened to the .pull-left and .pull-right classes in Bootstrap 4?

For anyone else and just an addition to Robert, If your nav has flex display value, you can float the element that you need to the right, by adding this to its css

{
    margin-left: auto;
}

PHP: How to check if a date is today, yesterday or tomorrow

<?php 
 $current = strtotime(date("Y-m-d"));
 $date    = strtotime("2014-09-05");

 $datediff = $date - $current;
 $difference = floor($datediff/(60*60*24));
 if($difference==0)
 {
    echo 'today';
 }
 else if($difference > 1)
 {
    echo 'Future Date';
 }
 else if($difference > 0)
 {
    echo 'tomorrow';
 }
 else if($difference < -1)
 {
    echo 'Long Back';
 }
 else
 {
    echo 'yesterday';
 }  
?>

Lock screen orientation (Android)

In the Manifest, you can set the screenOrientation to landscape. It would look something like this in the XML:

<activity android:name="MyActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
...
</activity>

Where MyActivity is the one you want to stay in landscape.

The android:configChanges=... line prevents onResume(), onPause() from being called when the screen is rotated. Without this line, the rotation will stay as you requested but the calls will still be made.

Note: keyboardHidden and orientation are required for < Android 3.2 (API level 13), and all three options are required 3.2 or above, not just orientation.

How to use an output parameter in Java?

mvn clean install vs. deploy vs. release

The clean, install and deploy phases are valid lifecycle phases and invoking them will trigger all the phases preceding them, and the goals bound to these phases.

mvn clean install

This command invokes the clean phase and then the install phase sequentially:

  • clean: removes files generated at build-time in a project's directory (target by default)
  • install: installs the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally.

mvn deploy

This command invokes the deploy phase:

  • deploy: copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

mvn release

This is not a valid phase nor a goal so this won't do anything. But if refers to the Maven Release Plugin that is used to automate release management. Releasing a project is done in two steps: prepare and perform. As documented:

Preparing a release goes through the following release phases:

  • Check that there are no uncommitted changes in the sources
  • Check that there are no SNAPSHOT dependencies
  • Change the version in the POMs from x-SNAPSHOT to a new version (you will be prompted for the versions to use)
  • Transform the SCM information in the POM to include the final destination of the tag
  • Run the project tests against the modified POMs to confirm everything is in working order
  • Commit the modified POMs
  • Tag the code in the SCM with a version name (this will be prompted for)
  • Bump the version in the POMs to a new value y-SNAPSHOT (these values will also be prompted for)
  • Commit the modified POMs

And then:

Performing a release runs the following release phases:

  • Checkout from an SCM URL with optional tag
  • Run the predefined Maven goals to release the project (by default, deploy site-deploy)

How do I use two submit buttons, and differentiate between which one was used to submit the form?

Give name and values to those submit buttons like:

    <td>
    <input type="submit" name='mybutton' class="noborder" id="save" value="save" alt="Save" tabindex="4" />
    </td>
    <td>
    <input type="submit" name='mybutton' class="noborder" id="publish" value="publish" alt="Publish" tabindex="5" />
    </td>

and then in your php script you could check

if($_POST['mybutton'] == 'save')
{
  ///do save processing
}
elseif($_POST['mybutton'] == 'publish')
{
  ///do publish processing here
}

Pass multiple parameters in Html.BeginForm MVC

Another option I like, which can be generalized once I start seeing the code not conform to DRY, is to use one controller that redirects to another controller.

public ActionResult ClientIdSearch(int cid)
{
  var action = String.Format("Details/{0}", cid);

  return RedirectToAction(action, "Accounts");
}

I find this allows me to apply my logic in one location and re-use it without have to sprinkle JavaScript in the views to handle this. And, as I mentioned I can then refactor for re-use as I see this getting abused.

Printing an int list in a single line python3

Maybe this code will help you.

>>> def sort(lists):
...     lists.sort()
...     return lists
...
>>> datalist = [6,3,4,1,3,2,9]
>>> print(*sort(datalist), end=" ")
1 2 3 3 4 6 9

you can use an empty list variable to collect the user input, with method append(). and if you want to print list in one line you can use print(*list)

Convert date to day name e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed

Very Simply Short week day name with Month and year

output

Tue, 16-Feb

Create the perfect JPA entity

I'll try to answer several key points: this is from long Hibernate/ persistence experience including several major applications.

Entity Class: implement Serializable?

Keys needs to implement Serializable. Stuff that's going to go in the HttpSession, or be sent over the wire by RPC/Java EE, needs to implement Serializable. Other stuff: not so much. Spend your time on what's important.

Constructors: create a constructor with all required fields of the entity?

Constructor(s) for application logic, should have only a few critical "foreign key" or "type/kind" fields which will always be known when creating the entity. The rest should be set by calling the setter methods -- that's what they're for.

Avoid putting too many fields into constructors. Constructors should be convenient, and give basic sanity to the object. Name, Type and/or Parents are all typically useful.

OTOH if application rules (today) require a Customer to have an Address, leave that to a setter. That is an example of a "weak rule". Maybe next week, you want to create a Customer object before going to the Enter Details screen? Don't trip yourself up, leave possibility for unknown, incomplete or "partially entered" data.

Constructors: also, package private default constructor?

Yes, but use 'protected' rather than package private. Subclassing stuff is a real pain when the necessary internals are not visible.

Fields/Properties

Use 'property' field access for Hibernate, and from outside the instance. Within the instance, use the fields directly. Reason: allows standard reflection, the simplest & most basic method for Hibernate, to work.

As for fields 'immutable' to the application -- Hibernate still needs to be able to load these. You could try making these methods 'private', and/or put an annotation on them, to prevent application code making unwanted access.

Note: when writing an equals() function, use getters for values on the 'other' instance! Otherwise, you'll hit uninitialized/ empty fields on proxy instances.

Protected is better for (Hibernate) performance?

Unlikely.

Equals/HashCode?

This is relevant to working with entities, before they've been saved -- which is a thorny issue. Hashing/comparing on immutable values? In most business applications, there aren't any.

A customer can change address, change the name of their business, etc etc -- not common, but it happens. Corrections also need to be possible to make, when the data was not entered correctly.

The few things that are normally kept immutable, are Parenting and perhaps Type/Kind -- normally the user recreates the record, rather than changing these. But these do not uniquely identify the entity!

So, long and short, the claimed "immutable" data isn't really. Primary Key/ ID fields are generated for the precise purpose, of providing such guaranteed stability & immutability.

You need to plan & consider your need for comparison & hashing & request-processing work phases when A) working with "changed/ bound data" from the UI if you compare/hash on "infrequently changed fields", or B) working with "unsaved data", if you compare/hash on ID.

Equals/HashCode -- if a unique Business Key is not available, use a non-transient UUID which is created when the entity is initialized

Yes, this is a good strategy when required. Be aware that UUIDs are not free, performance-wise though -- and clustering complicates things.

Equals/HashCode -- never refer to related entities

"If related entity (like a parent entity) needs to be part of the Business Key then add a non insertable, non updatable field to store the parent id (with the same name as the ManytoOne JoinColumn) and use this id in the equality check"

Sounds like good advice.

Hope this helps!

Using Predicate in Swift

In swift 2.2

func filterContentForSearchText(searchText: String, scope: String) {
    var resultPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "name contains[c]         %@", searchText)
    searchResults = (recipes as NSArray).filteredArrayUsingPredicate(resultPredicate)
}

In swift 3.0

func filterContent(forSearchText searchText: String, scope: String) {
        var resultPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "name contains[c]         %@", searchText)
        searchResults = recipes.filtered(using: resultPredicate)
    }

Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.Splitfn", or the name is ambiguous

You need to treat a table valued udf like a table, eg JOIN it

select Emp_Id 
from Employee E JOIN dbo.Splitfn(@Id,',') CSV ON E.Emp_Id = CSV.items 

Better way to find last used row

How is this?

dim rownum as integer
dim colnum as integer
dim lstrow as integer
dim lstcol as integer
dim r as range

'finds the last row

lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

'finds the last column

lastcol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count

'sets the range

set r = range(cells(rownum,colnum), cells(lstrow,lstcol))

is it possible to update UIButton title/text programmatically?

Even though Caffeine Coma's issue was resolved, I would like to offer another potential cause for the title not showing up on a UIButton.

If you set an image for the UIButton using

- (void)setImage:(UIImage *)image forState:(UIControlState)state

It can cover the title. I found this out the hard way and imagine some of you end up reading this page for the same reason.

Use this method instead

- (void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage *)image forState:(UIControlState)state

for the button image and the title will not be affected.

I tested this with programmatically created buttons and buttons created in a .xib

How do you perform a left outer join using linq extension methods

Improving on Ocelot20's answer, if you have a table you're left outer joining with where you just want 0 or 1 rows out of it, but it could have multiple, you need to Order your joined table:

var qry = Foos.GroupJoin(
      Bars.OrderByDescending(b => b.Id),
      foo => foo.Foo_Id,
      bar => bar.Foo_Id,
      (f, bs) => new { Foo = f, Bar = bs.FirstOrDefault() });

Otherwise which row you get in the join is going to be random (or more specifically, whichever the db happens to find first).

Setting onSubmit in React.js

I'd also suggest moving the event handler outside render.

var OnSubmitTest = React.createClass({

  submit: function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    alert('it works!');
  }

  render: function() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.submit}>
        <button>Click me</button>
      </form>
    );
  }
});

Find the files that have been changed in last 24 hours

To find all files modified in the last 24 hours (last full day) in a particular specific directory and its sub-directories:

find /directory_path -mtime -1 -ls

Should be to your liking

The - before 1 is important - it means anything changed one day or less ago. A + before 1 would instead mean anything changed at least one day ago, while having nothing before the 1 would have meant it was changed exacted one day ago, no more, no less.

Git add all subdirectories

You can also face problems if a subdirectory itself is a git repository - ie .has a .git directory - check with ls -a.

To remove go to the subdirectory and rm .git -rf.

String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated

price int   NULL

) 

Since in MSSQL only saying only nvarchar is equal to nvarchar(1) hence the values of the column from the stock table are truncated

Set EditText cursor color

For anyone that needs to set the EditText cursor color dynamically, below you will find two ways to achieve this.


First, create your cursor drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >

    <solid android:color="#ff000000" />

    <size android:width="1dp" />

</shape>

Set the cursor drawable resource id to the drawable you created (https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/kitkat-release/core/java/android/widget/TextView.java#L562-564">source)):

try {
    Field f = TextView.class.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawableRes");
    f.setAccessible(true);
    f.set(yourEditText, R.drawable.cursor);
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}

To just change the color of the default cursor drawable, you can use the following method:

public static void setCursorDrawableColor(EditText editText, int color) {
    try {
        Field fCursorDrawableRes = 
            TextView.class.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawableRes");
        fCursorDrawableRes.setAccessible(true);
        int mCursorDrawableRes = fCursorDrawableRes.getInt(editText);
        Field fEditor = TextView.class.getDeclaredField("mEditor");
        fEditor.setAccessible(true);
        Object editor = fEditor.get(editText);
        Class<?> clazz = editor.getClass();
        Field fCursorDrawable = clazz.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawable");
        fCursorDrawable.setAccessible(true);

        Drawable[] drawables = new Drawable[2];
        Resources res = editText.getContext().getResources();
        drawables[0] = res.getDrawable(mCursorDrawableRes);
        drawables[1] = res.getDrawable(mCursorDrawableRes);
        drawables[0].setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        drawables[1].setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        fCursorDrawable.set(editor, drawables);
    } catch (final Throwable ignored) {
    }
}

Flutter - The method was called on null

As stated in the above answers, it's always a good practice to initialize the variables, but if you have something which you don't know what value should it takes, and you want to leave it uninitialized so you have to make sure that you are updating it before using it.

For example: Assume we have double _bmi; and you don't know what value should it takes, so you can leave it as it is, but before using it, you have to update its value first like calling a function that calculating BMI like follows:

String calculateBMI (){
_bmi = weight / pow( height/100, 2);
return _bmi.toStringAsFixed(1);}

or whatever, what I mean is, you can leave the variable as it is, but before using it make sure you have initialized it using whatever the method you are using.

How to create a windows service from java app

With Apache Commons Daemon you can now have a custom executable name and icon! You can also get a custom Windows tray monitor with your own name and icon!

I now have my service running with my own name and icon (prunsrv.exe), and the system tray monitor (prunmgr.exe) also has my own custom name and icon!

  1. Download the Apache Commons Daemon binaries (you will need prunsrv.exe and prunmgr.exe).

  2. Rename them to be MyServiceName.exe and MyServiceNamew.exe respectively.

  3. Download WinRun4J and use the RCEDIT.exe program that comes with it to modify the Apache executable to embed your own custom icon like this:

    > RCEDIT.exe /I MyServiceName.exe customIcon.ico
    > RCEDIT.exe /I MyServiceNamew.exe customTrayIcon.ico
    
  4. Now install your Windows service like this (see documentation for more details and options):

    > MyServiceName.exe //IS//MyServiceName \
      --Install="C:\path-to\MyServiceName.exe" \
      --Jvm=auto --Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm \
      --Classpath="C:\path-to\MyJarWithClassWithMainMethod.jar" \
      --StartClass=com.mydomain.MyClassWithMainMethod
    
  5. Now you have a Windows service of your Jar that will run with your own icon and name! You can also launch the monitor file and it will run in the system tray with your own icon and name.

    > MyServiceNamew.exe //MS//MyServiceName
    

How to get the width of a react element

A simple and up to date solution is to use the React React useRef hook that stores a reference to the component/element, combined with a useEffect hook, which fires at component renders.

import React, {useState, useEffect, useRef} from 'react';

export default App = () => {
  const [width, setWidth] = useState(0);
  const elementRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    setWidth(elementRef.current.getBoundingClientRect().width);
  }, []); //empty dependency array so it only runs once at render

  return (
    <div ref={elementRef}>
      {width}
    </div>
  )
}

View not attached to window manager crash

best solution. Check first context is activity context or application context if activity context then only check activity is finished or not then call dialog.show() or dialog.dismiss();

See sample code below... hope it will be helpful !

Display dialog

if (context instanceof Activity) {
   if (!((Activity) context).isFinishing())
     dialog.show();
}

Dismiss dialog

if (context instanceof Activity) {
       if (!((Activity) context).isFinishing())
         dialog.dismiss();
    }

If you want to add more checks then add dialog.isShowing() or dialog !-null using && condition.

How to create a delay in Swift?

You can create extension to use delay function easily (Syntax: Swift 4.2+)

extension UIViewController {
    func delay(_ delay:Double, closure:@escaping ()->()) {
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(
            deadline: DispatchTime.now() + Double(Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))) / Double(NSEC_PER_SEC), execute: closure)
    }
}

How to use in UIViewController

self.delay(0.1, closure: {
   //execute code
})

MySQL - How to select rows where value is in array?

If you use the FIND_IN_SET function:

FIND_IN_SET(a, columnname) yields all the records that have "a" in them, alone or with others

AND

FIND_IN_SET(columnname, a) yields only the records that have "a" in them alone, NOT the ones with the others

So if record1 is (a,b,c) and record2 is (a)

FIND_IN_SET(columnname, a) yields only record2 whereas FIND_IN_SET(a, columnname) yields both records.

Loop through the rows of a particular DataTable

For Each row As DataRow In dtDataTable.Rows
    strDetail = row.Item("Detail")
Next row

There's also a shorthand:

For Each row As DataRow In dtDataTable.Rows
    strDetail = row("Detail")
Next row

Note that Microsoft's style guidelines for .Net now specifically recommend against using hungarian type prefixes for variables. Instead of "strDetail", for example, you should just use "Detail".

Python regular expressions return true/false

One way to do this is just to test against the return value. Because you're getting <_sre.SRE_Match object at ...> it means that this will evaluate to true. When the regular expression isn't matched you'll the return value None, which evaluates to false.

import re

if re.search("c", "abcdef"):
    print "hi"

Produces hi as output.

Creating Duplicate Table From Existing Table

How to deserialize xml to object

Your classes should look like this

[XmlRoot("StepList")]
public class StepList
{
    [XmlElement("Step")]
    public List<Step> Steps { get; set; }
}

public class Step
{
    [XmlElement("Name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [XmlElement("Desc")]
    public string Desc { get; set; }
}

Here is my testcode.

string testData = @"<StepList>
                        <Step>
                            <Name>Name1</Name>
                            <Desc>Desc1</Desc>
                        </Step>
                        <Step>
                            <Name>Name2</Name>
                            <Desc>Desc2</Desc>
                        </Step>
                    </StepList>";

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(StepList));
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(testData))
{
    StepList result = (StepList) serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}

If you want to read a text file you should load the file into a FileStream and deserialize this.

using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("<PathToYourFile>", FileMode.Open)) 
{
    StepList result = (StepList) serializer.Deserialize(fileStream);
}

Multiple Inheritance in C#

If you can live with the restriction that the methods of IFirst and ISecond must only interact with the contract of IFirst and ISecond (like in your example)... you can do what you ask with extension methods. In practice, this is rarely the case.

public interface IFirst {}
public interface ISecond {}

public class FirstAndSecond : IFirst, ISecond
{
}

public static MultipleInheritenceExtensions
{
  public static void First(this IFirst theFirst)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("First");
  }

  public static void Second(this ISecond theSecond)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Second");
  }
}

///

public void Test()
{
  FirstAndSecond fas = new FirstAndSecond();
  fas.First();
  fas.Second();
}

So the basic idea is that you define the required implementation in the interfaces... this required stuff should support the flexible implementation in the extension methods. Anytime you need to "add methods to the interface" instead you add an extension method.

How to align input forms in HTML

You should use a table. As a matter of logical structure the data is tabular: this is why you want it to align, because you want to show that the labels are not related solely to their input boxes but also to each other, in a two-dimensional structure.

[consider what you would do if you had string or numeric values to display instead of input boxes.]

Cannot kill Python script with Ctrl-C

Ctrl+C terminates the main thread, but because your threads aren't in daemon mode, they keep running, and that keeps the process alive. We can make them daemons:

f = FirstThread()
f.daemon = True
f.start()
s = SecondThread()
s.daemon = True
s.start()

But then there's another problem - once the main thread has started your threads, there's nothing else for it to do. So it exits, and the threads are destroyed instantly. So let's keep the main thread alive:

import time
while True:
    time.sleep(1)

Now it will keep print 'first' and 'second' until you hit Ctrl+C.

Edit: as commenters have pointed out, the daemon threads may not get a chance to clean up things like temporary files. If you need that, then catch the KeyboardInterrupt on the main thread and have it co-ordinate cleanup and shutdown. But in many cases, letting daemon threads die suddenly is probably good enough.

How should I use Outlook to send code snippets?

If you do not want to attach code in a file (this was a good tip, ChssPly76, I need to check it out), you can try changing the default message format messages to rich text (Tools - Options - Mail Format - Message format) instead of HTML. I learned that Outlook's HTML formatting screws code layout (btw, Outlook uses MS Word's HTML rendering engine which sucks big time), but rich text works fine. So if I copy code from Visual Studio and paste it in Outlook message, when using rich text, it looks pretty good, but when in HTML mode, it's a disaster. To disable smart quotes, auto-correction, and other artifacts, set up the appropriate option via Tools - Options - Spelling - Spelling and AutoCorrection; you may also want to play with copy-paste settings (Tools - Options - Mail Format - Editor Options - Cut, copy, and paste).

print("/mnt/mediashare/net/192.168.1.220_STORAGE_1d1b7/" + i)

This will print out the directory with the filename.

Command line: search and replace in all filenames matched by grep

I like and used the above solution or a system wide search and replace among thousands of files:

find -name '*.htm?' -print -exec sed -i.bak 's/foo/bar/g' {} \;

I assume with the '*.htm?' instead of .html it searches and finds .htm and .html files alike.

I replace the .bak with the more system wide used tilde (~) to make clean up of backup files easier.

react change class name on state change

Below is a fully functional example of what I believe you're trying to do (with a functional snippet).

Explanation

Based on your question, you seem to be modifying 1 property in state for all of your elements. That's why when you click on one, all of them are being changed.

In particular, notice that the state tracks an index of which element is active. When MyClickable is clicked, it tells the Container its index, Container updates the state, and subsequently the isActive property of the appropriate MyClickables.

Example

_x000D_
_x000D_
class Container extends React.Component {_x000D_
  state = {_x000D_
    activeIndex: null_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  handleClick = (index) => this.setState({ activeIndex: index })_x000D_
_x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <div>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="a" index={0} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===0 } onClick={ this.handleClick } />_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="b" index={1} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===1 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="c" index={2} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===2 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
class MyClickable extends React.Component {_x000D_
  handleClick = () => this.props.onClick(this.props.index)_x000D_
  _x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <button_x000D_
      type='button'_x000D_
      className={_x000D_
        this.props.isActive ? 'active' : 'album'_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      onClick={ this.handleClick }_x000D_
    >_x000D_
      <span>{ this.props.name }</span>_x000D_
    </button>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
ReactDOM.render(<Container />, document.getElementById('app'))
_x000D_
button {_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  margin-bottom: 1em;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.album>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' (an album)';_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active {_x000D_
  font-weight: bold;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' ACTIVE';_x000D_
}

Update: "Loops"

In response to a comment about a "loop" version, I believe the question is about rendering an array of MyClickable elements. We won't use a loop, but map, which is typical in React + JSX. The following should give you the same result as above, but it works with an array of elements.

// New render method for `Container`
render() {
  const clickables = [
    { name: "a" },
    { name: "b" },
    { name: "c" },
  ]

  return <div>
      { clickables.map(function(clickable, i) {
          return <MyClickable key={ clickable.name }
            name={ clickable.name }
            index={ i }
            isActive={ this.state.activeIndex === i }
            onClick={ this.handleClick }
          />
        } )
      }
  </div>
}

How to put an image in div with CSS?

you can do this:

<div class="picture1">&nbsp;</div>

and put this into your css file:

div.picture1 {
   width:100px; /*width of your image*/
   height:100px; /*height of your image*/
   background-image:url('yourimage.file');
   margin:0; /* If you want no margin */
   padding:0; /*if your want to padding */
}

otherwise, just use them as plain

Most efficient way to reverse a numpy array

Because this seems to not be marked as answered yet... The Answer of Thomas Arildsen should be the proper one: just use

np.flipud(your_array) 

if it is a 1d array (column array).

With matrizes do

fliplr(matrix)

if you want to reverse rows and flipud(matrix) if you want to flip columns. No need for making your 1d column array a 2dimensional row array (matrix with one None layer) and then flipping it.

How to make child process die after parent exits?

Under POSIX, the exit(), _exit() and _Exit() functions are defined to:

  • If the process is a controlling process, the SIGHUP signal shall be sent to each process in the foreground process group of the controlling terminal belonging to the calling process.

So, if you arrange for the parent process to be a controlling process for its process group, the child should get a SIGHUP signal when the parent exits. I'm not absolutely sure that happens when the parent crashes, but I think it does. Certainly, for the non-crash cases, it should work fine.

Note that you may have to read quite a lot of fine print - including the Base Definitions (Definitions) section, as well as the System Services information for exit() and setsid() and setpgrp() - to get the complete picture. (So would I!)

Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page including the primary key in an unpivot

I know this is an old question. The way I solved it - after failing by increasing the length or even changing to data type text - was creating an XLSX file and importing. It accurately detected the data type instead of setting all columns as varchar(50). Turns out nvarchar(255) for that column would have done it too.

how to pass parameters to query in SQL (Excel)

This post is old enough that this answer will probably be little use to the OP, but I spent forever trying to answer this same question, so I thought I would update it with my findings.

This answer assumes that you already have a working SQL query in place in your Excel document. There are plenty of tutorials to show you how to accomplish this on the web, and plenty that explain how to add a parameterized query to one, except that none seem to work for an existing, OLE DB query.

So, if you, like me, got handed a legacy Excel document with a working query, but the user wants to be able to filter the results based on one of the database fields, and if you, like me, are neither an Excel nor a SQL guru, this might be able to help you out.

Most web responses to this question seem to say that you should add a “?” in your query to get Excel to prompt you for a custom parameter, or place the prompt or the cell reference in [brackets] where the parameter should be. This may work for an ODBC query, but it does not seem to work for an OLE DB, returning “No value given for one or more required parameters” in the former instance, and “Invalid column name ‘xxxx’” or “Unknown object ‘xxxx’” in the latter two. Similarly, using the mythical “Parameters…” or “Edit Query…” buttons is also not an option as they seem to be permanently greyed out in this instance. (For reference, I am using Excel 2010, but with an Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls))

What we can do, however, is add a parameter cell and a button with a simple routine to programmatically update our query text.

First, add a row above your external data table (or wherever) where you can put a parameter prompt next to an empty cell and a button (Developer->Insert->Button (Form Control) – You may need to enable the Developer tab, but you can find out how to do that elsewhere), like so:

[Picture of a cell of prompt (label) text, an empty cell, then a button.]

Next, select a cell in the External Data (blue) area, then open Data->Refresh All (dropdown)->Connection Properties… to look at your query. The code in the next section assumes that you already have a parameter in your query (Connection Properties->Definition->Command Text) in the form “WHERE (DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name = ‘Default Query Parameter')” (including the parentheses). Clearly “DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name” and “Default Query Parameter” will need to be different in your code, based on the database table name, database value field (column) name, and some default value to search for when the document is opened (if you have auto-refresh set). Make note of the “DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name” value as you will need it in the next section, along with the “Connection name” of your query, which can be found at the top of the dialog.

Close the Connection Properties, and hit Alt+F11 to open the VBA editor. If you are not on it already, right click on the name of the sheet containing your button in the “Project” window, and select “View Code”. Paste the following code into the code window (copying is recommended, as the single/double quotes are dicey and necessary).

Sub RefreshQuery()
 Dim queryPreText As String
 Dim queryPostText As String
 Dim valueToFilter As String
 Dim paramPosition As Integer
 valueToFilter = "DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name ="

 With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Connection name").OLEDBConnection
     queryPreText = .CommandText
     paramPosition = InStr(queryPreText, valueToFilter) + Len(valueToFilter) - 1
     queryPreText = Left(queryPreText, paramPosition)
     queryPostText = .CommandText
     queryPostText = Right(queryPostText, Len(queryPostText) - paramPosition)
     queryPostText = Right(queryPostText, Len(queryPostText) - InStr(queryPostText, ")") + 1)
     .CommandText = queryPreText & " '" & Range("Cell reference").Value & "'" & queryPostText
 End With
 ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Connection name").Refresh
End Sub

Replace “DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name” and "Connection name" (in two locations) with your values (the double quotes and the space and equals sign need to be included).

Replace "Cell reference" with the cell where your parameter will go (the empty cell from the beginning) - mine was the second cell in the first row, so I put “B1” (again, the double quotes are necessary).

Save and close the VBA editor.

Enter your parameter in the appropriate cell.

Right click your button to assign the RefreshQuery sub as the macro, then click your button. The query should update and display the right data!

Notes: Using the entire filter parameter name ("DB_TABLE_NAME.Field_Name =") is only necessary if you have joins or other occurrences of equals signs in your query, otherwise just an equals sign would be sufficient, and the Len() calculation would be superfluous. If your parameter is contained in a field that is also being used to join tables, you will need to change the "paramPosition = InStr(queryPreText, valueToFilter) + Len(valueToFilter) - 1" line in the code to "paramPosition = InStr(Right(.CommandText, Len(.CommandText) - InStrRev(.CommandText, "WHERE")), valueToFilter) + Len(valueToFilter) - 1 + InStr(.CommandText, "WHERE")" so that it only looks for the valueToFilter after the "WHERE".

This answer was created with the aid of datapig’s “BaconBits” where I found the base code for the query update.

Example to use shared_ptr?

Through Boost you can do it >

std::vector<boost::any> vecobj;
    boost::shared_ptr<string> sharedString1(new string("abcdxyz!"));    
    boost::shared_ptr<int> sharedint1(new int(10));
    vecobj.push_back(sharedString1);
    vecobj.push_back(sharedint1);

> for inserting different object type in your vector container. while for accessing you have to use any_cast, which works like dynamic_cast, hopes it will work for your need.
