How to solve java.lang.OutOfMemoryError trouble in Android

I see only two options:

You have memory leaks in your application.
Devices do not have enough memory when running your application.

Storing data into list with class

And if you want to create the list with some elements to start with:

var emailList = new List<EmailData>
{
   new EmailData { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe", Location = "Moscow" },
   new EmailData {.......}
};

accessing a variable from another class

You could make the variables public fields:

  public int width;
  public int height;

  DrawFrame() {
    this.width = 400;
    this.height = 400;
  }

You could then access the variables like so:

DrawFrame frame = new DrawFrame();
int theWidth = frame.width;
int theHeight = frame.height;

A better solution, however, would be to make the variables private fields add two accessor methods to your class, keeping the data in the DrawFrame class encapsulated:

 private int width;
 private int height;

 DrawFrame() {
    this.width = 400;
    this.height = 400;
 }

  public int getWidth() {
     return this.width;
  }

  public int getHeight() {
     return this.height;
  }

Then you can get the width/height like so:

  DrawFrame frame = new DrawFrame();
  int theWidth = frame.getWidth();
  int theHeight = frame.getHeight();

I strongly suggest you use the latter method.

Matplotlib: ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension

You should make x and y numpy arrays, not lists:

x = np.array([0.46,0.59,0.68,0.99,0.39,0.31,1.09,
              0.77,0.72,0.49,0.55,0.62,0.58,0.88,0.78])
y = np.array([0.315,0.383,0.452,0.650,0.279,0.215,0.727,0.512,
              0.478,0.335,0.365,0.424,0.390,0.585,0.511])

With this change, it produces the expect plot. If they are lists, m * x will not produce the result you expect, but an empty list. Note that m is anumpy.float64 scalar, not a standard Python float.

I actually consider this a bit dubious behavior of Numpy. In normal Python, multiplying a list with an integer just repeats the list:

In [42]: 2 * [1, 2, 3]
Out[42]: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]

while multiplying a list with a float gives an error (as I think it should):

In [43]: 1.5 * [1, 2, 3]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-43-d710bb467cdd> in <module>()
----> 1 1.5 * [1, 2, 3]
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'

The weird thing is that multiplying a Python list with a Numpy scalar apparently works:

In [45]: np.float64(0.5) * [1, 2, 3]
Out[45]: []

In [46]: np.float64(1.5) * [1, 2, 3]
Out[46]: [1, 2, 3]

In [47]: np.float64(2.5) * [1, 2, 3]
Out[47]: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]

So it seems that the float gets truncated to an int, after which you get the standard Python behavior of repeating the list, which is quite unexpected behavior. The best thing would have been to raise an error (so that you would have spotted the problem yourself instead of having to ask your question on Stackoverflow) or to just show the expected element-wise multiplication (in which your code would have just worked). Interestingly, addition between a list and a Numpy scalar does work:

In [69]: np.float64(0.123) + [1, 2, 3]
Out[69]: array([ 1.123,  2.123,  3.123])

Attach a body onload event with JS

document.body.onload is a cross-browser, but a legacy mechanism that only allows a single callback (you cannot assign multiple functions to it).

The closest "standard" alternative, addEventListener is not supported by Internet Explorer (it uses attachEvent), so you will likely want to use a library (jQuery, MooTools, prototype.js, etc.) to abstract the cross-browser ugliness for you.

What does the keyword "transient" mean in Java?

It means that trackDAO should not be serialized.

Change default date time format on a single database in SQL Server

Use:

select * from mytest
EXEC sp_rename 'mytest.eid', 'id', 'COLUMN'
alter table mytest add id int not null identity(1,1)
update mytset set eid=id
ALTER TABLE mytest DROP COLUMN eid

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[yourtablename] ADD DEFAULT (getdate()) FOR [yourfieldname]

It's working 100%.

Create a simple Login page using eclipse and mysql

You Can simply Use One Jsp Page To accomplish the task.

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.*"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <%
        String username=request.getParameter("user_name");
        String password=request.getParameter("password");
        String role=request.getParameter("role");
        try
        {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/t_fleet","root","root");
            Statement st=con.createStatement();
            String query="select * from tbl_login where user_name='"+username+"' and password='"+password+"' and role='"+role+"'";
            ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(query);
            while(rs.next())
            {
                session.setAttribute( "user_name",rs.getString(2));
                session.setMaxInactiveInterval(3000);
                response.sendRedirect("homepage.jsp");
            }
            %>



        <%}
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            out.println(e);
        }
    %>

</body>

I have use username, password and role to get into the system. One more thing to implement is you can do page permission checking through jsp and javascript function.

split string in two on given index and return both parts

Try this

 return value.substring(0, index) + "," + value.substring(index);
}

console.log(split_at_index('3123124', 2));

     IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True

Submit form after calling e.preventDefault()

Sorry for delay, but I will try to make perfect form :)

I will added Count validation steps and check every time not .val(). Check .length, because I think is better pattern in your case. Of course remove unbind function.

My jsFiddle

Of course source code:

// Prevent form submit if any entrees are missing
$('form').submit(function(e){

    e.preventDefault();

    var formIsValid = true;

    // Count validation steps
    var validationLoop = 0;

    // Cycle through each Attendee Name
    $('[name="atendeename[]"]', this).each(function(index, el){

        // If there is a value
        if ($(el).val().length > 0) {
            validationLoop++;

            // Find adjacent entree input
            var entree = $(el).next('input');

            var entreeValue = entree.val();

            // If entree is empty, don't submit form
            if (entreeValue.length === 0) {
                alert('Please select an entree');
                entree.focus();
                formIsValid = false;
                return false;
            }

        }

    });

    if (formIsValid && validationLoop > 0) {
        alert("Correct Form");
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }

});

Convert string to title case with JavaScript

function toTitleCase(str) {
  var strnew = "";
  var i = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    if (i == 0) {
      strnew = strnew + str[i].toUpperCase();
    } else if (i != 0 && str[i - 1] == " ") {
      strnew = strnew + str[i].toUpperCase();
    } else {
      strnew = strnew + str[i];
    }
  }

  alert(strnew);
}

Convert character to ASCII numeric value in java

As @Raedwald pointed out, Java's Unicode doesn't cater to all the characters to get ASCII value. The correct way (Java 1.7+) is as follows :

byte[] asciiBytes = "MyAscii".getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
String asciiString = new String(asciiBytes);
//asciiString = Arrays.toString(asciiBytes)

WPF MVVM: How to close a window

I'd personally use a behaviour to do this sort of thing:

public class WindowCloseBehaviour : Behavior<Window>
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty CommandProperty =
      DependencyProperty.Register(
        "Command",
        typeof(ICommand),
        typeof(WindowCloseBehaviour));

    public static readonly DependencyProperty CommandParameterProperty =
      DependencyProperty.Register(
        "CommandParameter",
        typeof(object),
        typeof(WindowCloseBehaviour));

    public static readonly DependencyProperty CloseButtonProperty =
      DependencyProperty.Register(
        "CloseButton",
        typeof(Button),
        typeof(WindowCloseBehaviour),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, OnButtonChanged));

    public ICommand Command
    {
        get { return (ICommand)GetValue(CommandProperty); }
        set { SetValue(CommandProperty, value); }
    }

    public object CommandParameter
    {
        get { return GetValue(CommandParameterProperty); }
        set { SetValue(CommandParameterProperty, value); }
    }

    public Button CloseButton
    {
        get { return (Button)GetValue(CloseButtonProperty); }
        set { SetValue(CloseButtonProperty, value); }
    }

    private static void OnButtonChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var window = (Window)((WindowCloseBehaviour)d).AssociatedObject;
        ((Button) e.NewValue).Click +=
            (s, e1) =>
            {
                var command = ((WindowCloseBehaviour)d).Command;
                var commandParameter = ((WindowCloseBehaviour)d).CommandParameter;
                if (command != null)
                {
                    command.Execute(commandParameter);                                                      
                }
                window.Close();
            };
        }
    }

You can then attach this to your Window and Button to do the work:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication6.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication6"
        Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <local:WindowCloseBehaviour CloseButton="{Binding ElementName=closeButton}"/>
    </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    <Grid>
        <Button Name="closeButton">Close</Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>

I've added Command and CommandParameter here so you can run a command before the Window closes.

How to save a list as numpy array in python?

I suppose, you mean converting a list into a numpy array? Then,

import numpy as np

# b is some list, then ...    
a = np.array(b).reshape(lengthDim0, lengthDim1);

gives you a as an array of list b in the shape given in reshape.

What's the difference between and , and ?

, ,  and  tags are traditionally representational. But they have been given new semantic meaning in HTML5.

 and  was used for font style in HTML4.  was used for italic and  for bold. In HTML5  tag has new semantic meaning of 'alternate voice or mood' and  tag has the meaning of stylistically offset.

Example uses of  tag are - taxonomic designation, technical term, idiomatic phrase from another language, transliteration, a thought, ship names in western texts. Such as -

<p><i>I hope this works</i>, he thought.</p>

Example uses of  tag are keywords in a document extract, product names in a review, actionable words in an interactive text driven software, article lead.

The following example paragraph is stylistically offset from the paragraphs that follow it.

<p><b class="lead">The event takes place this upcoming Saturday, and over 3,000 people have already registered.</b></p>

 and  had the meaning of emphasis and strong emphasis in HTML4. But in HTML5  means stressed emphasis and  means strong importance.

In the following example there should be a linguistic change while reading the word before ...

<p>Make sure to sign up <em>before</em> the day of the event, September 16, 2016</p>

In the same example we can use the  tag as follows ..

<p>Make sure to sign up <em>before</em> the day of the event, <strong>September 16, 2016</strong></p>

to give importance on the event date.

What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?

Befriending templates...

Given the code snippet of a template type with a friend operator (or function);

template <typename T>
class Foo {
    friend std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& os, const Foo<T>& a);
};

The operator<< is being declared as a non-template function. For every type T used with Foo, there needs to be a non-templated operator<<. For example, if there is a type Foo<int> declared, then there must be an operator implementation as follows;

std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& os, const Foo<int>& a) {/*...*/}

Since it is not implemented, the linker fails to find it and results in the error.

To correct this, you can declare a template operator before the Foo type and then declare as a friend, the appropriate instantiation. The syntax is a little awkward, but is looks as follows;

// forward declare the Foo
template <typename>
class Foo;

// forward declare the operator <<
template <typename T>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const Foo<T>&);

template <typename T>
class Foo {
    friend std::ostream& operator<< <>(std::ostream& os, const Foo<T>& a);
    // note the required <>        ^^^^
    // ...
};

template <typename T>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const Foo<T>&)
{
  // ... implement the operator
}

The above code limits the friendship of the operator to the corresponding instantiation of Foo, i.e. the operator<< <int> instantiation is limited to access the private members of the instantiation of Foo<int>.

Alternatives include;

Allowing the friendship to extend to all instantiations of the templates, as follows;

template <typename T>
class Foo {
    template <typename T1>
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Foo<T1>& a);
    // ...
};

Or, the implementation for the operator<< can be done inline inside the class definition;

template <typename T>
class Foo {
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Foo& a)
    { /*...*/ }
    // ...
};

Note, when the declaration of the operator (or function) only appears in the class, the name is not available for "normal" lookup, only for argument dependent lookup, from cppreference;

A name first declared in a friend declaration within class or class template X becomes a member of the innermost enclosing namespace of X, but is not accessible for lookup (except argument-dependent lookup that considers X) unless a matching declaration at the namespace scope is provided...

There is further reading on template friends at cppreference and the C++ FAQ.

Code listing showing the techniques above.

As a side note to the failing code sample; g++ warns about this as follows

warning: friend declaration 'std::ostream& operator<<(...)' declares a non-template function [-Wnon-template-friend]

note: (if this is not what you intended, make sure the function template has already been declared and add <> after the function name here)

wp_nav_menu change sub-menu class name?

Like it always is, after having looked for a long time before writing something to the site, just a minute after I posted here I found my solution.

It thought I'd share it here so someone else can find it.

//Add "parent" class to pages with subpages, change submenu class name, add depth class

    class Prio_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu {
    function display_element( $element, &$children_elements, $max_depth, $depth=0, $args, &$output ){
        $GLOBALS['dd_children'] = ( isset($children_elements[$element->ID]) )? 1:0;
        $GLOBALS['dd_depth'] = (int) $depth;
        parent::display_element( $element, $children_elements, $max_depth, $depth, $args, $output );
    }

     function start_lvl(&$output, $depth) {
    $indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
    $output .= "\n$indent<ul class=\"children level-".$depth."\">\n";
  }
}

add_filter('nav_menu_css_class','add_parent_css',10,2);
function  add_parent_css($classes, $item){
     global  $dd_depth, $dd_children;
     $classes[] = 'depth'.$dd_depth;
     if($dd_children)
         $classes[] = 'parent';
    return $classes;
}

//Add class to parent pages to show they have subpages (only for automatic wp_nav_menu)

function add_parent_class( $css_class, $page, $depth, $args )
{
   if ( ! empty( $args['has_children'] ) )
       $css_class[] = 'parent';
   return $css_class;
}
add_filter( 'page_css_class', 'add_parent_class', 10, 4 );

how to configure config.inc.php to have a loginform in phpmyadmin

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

should work.

From the manual:

auth_type = 'cookie' prompts for a MySQL username and password in a friendly HTML form. This is also the only way by which one can log in to an arbitrary server (if $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] is enabled). Cookie is good for most installations (default in pma 3.1+), it provides security over config and allows multiple users to use the same phpMyAdmin installation. For IIS users, cookie is often easier to configure than http.

Keep-alive header clarification

Where is this info kept ("this connection is between computer A and server F")?

A TCP connection is recognized by source IP and port and destination IP and port. Your OS, all intermediate session-aware devices and the server's OS will recognize the connection by this.

HTTP works with request-response: client connects to server, performs a request and gets a response. Without keep-alive, the connection to an HTTP server is closed after each response. With HTTP keep-alive you keep the underlying TCP connection open until certain criteria are met.

This allows for multiple request-response pairs over a single TCP connection, eliminating some of TCP's relatively slow connection startup.

When The IIS (F) sends keep alive header (or user sends keep-alive) , does it mean that (E,C,B) save a connection

No. Routers don't need to remember sessions. In fact, multiple TCP packets belonging to same TCP session need not all go through same routers - that is for TCP to manage. Routers just choose the best IP path and forward packets. Keep-alive is only for client, server and any other intermediate session-aware devices.

which is only for my session ?

Does it mean that no one else can use that connection

That is the intention of TCP connections: it is an end-to-end connection intended for only those two parties.

If so - does it mean that keep alive-header - reduce the number of overlapped connection users ?

Define "overlapped connections". See HTTP persistent connection for some advantages and disadvantages, such as:

Lower CPU and memory usage (because fewer connections are open simultaneously).
Enables HTTP pipelining of requests and responses.
Reduced network congestion (fewer TCP connections).
Reduced latency in subsequent requests (no handshaking).

if so , for how long does the connection is saved to me ? (in other words , if I set keep alive- "keep" till when?)

An typical keep-alive response looks like this:

Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100

See Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Keep-Alive Header for example (a draft for HTTP/2 where the keep-alive header is explained in greater detail than both 2616 and 2086):

A host sets the value of the timeout parameter to the time that the host will allows an idle connection to remain open before it is closed. A connection is idle if no data is sent or received by a host.
The max parameter indicates the maximum number of requests that a client will make, or that a server will allow to be made on the persistent connection. Once the specified number of requests and responses have been sent, the host that included the parameter could close the connection.

However, the server is free to close the connection after an arbitrary time or number of requests (just as long as it returns the response to the current request). How this is implemented depends on your HTTP server.

View list of all JavaScript variables in Google Chrome Console

David Walsh has a nice solution for this. Here is my take on this, combining his solution with what has been discovered on this thread as well.

https://davidwalsh.name/global-variables-javascript

x = {};
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.onload = function() {
    var standardGlobals = Object.keys(iframe.contentWindow);
    for(var b in window) { 
      const prop = window[b];
      if(window.hasOwnProperty(b) && prop && !prop.toString().includes('native code') && !standardGlobals.includes(b)) {
        x[b] = prop;
      }
    }
    console.log(x)
};
iframe.src = 'about:blank';
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

x now has only the globals.

Sending JWT token in the headers with Postman

I am adding to this question a little interesting tip that may help you guys testing JWT Apis.

Its is very simple actually.

When you log in, in your Api (login endpoint), you will immediately receive your token, and as @mick-cullen said you will have to use the JWT on your header as:

Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_STRING

Now if you like to automate or just make your life easier, your tests you can save the token as a global that you can call on all other endpoints as:

Authorization: Bearer {{jwt_token}}

On Postman: Then make a Global variable in postman as jwt_token = TOKEN_STRING.

On your login endpoint: To make it useful, add on the beginning of the Tests Tab add:

var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.clearGlobalVariable("jwt_token");
postman.setGlobalVariable("jwt_token", data.jwt_token);

I am guessing that your api is returning the token as a json on the response as: {"jwt_token":"TOKEN_STRING"}, there may be some sort of variation.

On the first line you add the response to the data varibale. Clean your Global And assign the value.

So now you have your token on the global variable, what makes easy to use Authorization: Bearer {{jwt_token}} on all your endpoints.

Hope this tip helps.

Convert a object into JSON in REST service by Spring MVC

The Json conversion should work out-of-the box. In order this to happen you need add some simple configurations:
First add a contentNegotiationManager into your spring config file. It is responsible for negotiating the response type:

<bean id="contentNegotiationManager"
      class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="favorPathExtension" value="false" />
    <property name="favorParameter" value="true" />
    <property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="true" />
    <property name="useJaf" value="false" />
     <property name="defaultContentType" value="application/json" />

      <property name="mediaTypes">
         <map>
            <entry key="json" value="application/json" />
            <entry key="xml" value="application/xml" />
         </map>
      </property>

Then add Jackson2 jars (jackson-databind and jackson-core) in the service's class path. Jackson is responsible for the data serialization to JSON. Spring will detect these and initialize the MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter automatically for you. Having only this configured I have my automatic conversion to JSON working. The described config has an additional benefit of giving you the possibility to serialize to XML if you set accept:application/xml header.

Add multiple items to a list

Another useful way is with Concat.
More information in the official documentation.

List<string> first = new List<string> { "One", "Two", "Three" };
List<string> second = new List<string>() { "Four", "Five" };
first.Concat(second);

The output will be.

One
Two
Three
Four
Five

And there is another similar answer.

Boolean operators && and ||

The answer about "short-circuiting" is potentially misleading, but has some truth (see below). In the R/S language, && and || only evaluate the first element in the first argument. All other elements in a vector or list are ignored regardless of the first ones value. Those operators are designed to work with the if (cond) {} else{} construction and to direct program control rather than construct new vectors.. The & and the | operators are designed to work on vectors, so they will be applied "in parallel", so to speak, along the length of the longest argument. Both vectors need to be evaluated before the comparisons are made. If the vectors are not the same length, then recycling of the shorter argument is performed.

When the arguments to && or || are evaluated, there is "short-circuiting" in that if any of the values in succession from left to right are determinative, then evaluations cease and the final value is returned.

> if( print(1) ) {print(2)} else {print(3)}
[1] 1
[1] 2
> if(FALSE && print(1) ) {print(2)} else {print(3)} # `print(1)` not evaluated
[1] 3
> if(TRUE && print(1) ) {print(2)} else {print(3)}
[1] 1
[1] 2
> if(TRUE && !print(1) ) {print(2)} else {print(3)}
[1] 1
[1] 3
> if(FALSE && !print(1) ) {print(2)} else {print(3)}
[1] 3

The advantage of short-circuiting will only appear when the arguments take a long time to evaluate. That will typically occur when the arguments are functions that either process larger objects or have mathematical operations that are more complex.

Windows Bat file optional argument parsing

Though I tend to agree with @AlekDavis' comment, there are nonetheless several ways to do this in the NT shell.

The approach I would take advantage of the SHIFT command and IF conditional branching, something like this...

@ECHO OFF

SET man1=%1
SET man2=%2
SHIFT & SHIFT

:loop
IF NOT "%1"=="" (
    IF "%1"=="-username" (
        SET user=%2
        SHIFT
    )
    IF "%1"=="-otheroption" (
        SET other=%2
        SHIFT
    )
    SHIFT
    GOTO :loop
)

ECHO Man1 = %man1%
ECHO Man2 = %man2%
ECHO Username = %user%
ECHO Other option = %other%

AppSettings get value from .config file

The answer that dtsg gave works:

string filePath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ClientsFilePath"];

BUT, you need to add an assembly reference to

System.Configuration

Go to your Solution Explorer and right click on References and select Add reference. Select the Assemblies tab and search for Configuration.

Reference manager

Here is an example of my App.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
    </startup>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="AdminName" value="My Name"/>
    <add key="AdminEMail" value="MyEMailAddress"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Which you can get in the following way:

string adminName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AdminName"];

What is the best way to repeatedly execute a function every x seconds?

Alternative flexibility solution is Apscheduler.

pip install apscheduler

from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BlockingScheduler
def print_t():
  pass

sched = BlockingScheduler()
sched.add_job(print_t, 'interval', seconds =60) #will do the print_t work for every 60 seconds

sched.start()

Also, apscheduler provides so many schedulers as follow.

BlockingScheduler: use when the scheduler is the only thing running in your process
BackgroundScheduler: use when you’re not using any of the frameworks below, and want the scheduler to run in the background inside your application
AsyncIOScheduler: use if your application uses the asyncio module
GeventScheduler: use if your application uses gevent
TornadoScheduler: use if you’re building a Tornado application
TwistedScheduler: use if you’re building a Twisted application
QtScheduler: use if you’re building a Qt application

pandas groupby sort within groups

What you want to do is actually again a groupby (on the result of the first groupby): sort and take the first three elements per group.

Starting from the result of the first groupby:

In [60]: df_agg = df.groupby(['job','source']).agg({'count':sum})

We group by the first level of the index:

In [63]: g = df_agg['count'].groupby('job', group_keys=False)

Then we want to sort ('order') each group and take the first three elements:

In [64]: res = g.apply(lambda x: x.sort_values(ascending=False).head(3))

However, for this, there is a shortcut function to do this, nlargest:

In [65]: g.nlargest(3)
Out[65]:
job     source
market  A         5
        D         4
        B         3
sales   E         7
        C         6
        B         4
dtype: int64

So in one go, this looks like:

df_agg['count'].groupby('job', group_keys=False).nlargest(3)

How can the default node version be set using NVM?

The current answers did not solve the problem for me, because I had node installed in /usr/bin/node and /usr/local/bin/node - so the system always resolved these first, and ignored the nvm version.

I solved the issue by moving the existing versions to /usr/bin/node-system and /usr/local/bin/node-system

Then I had no node command anymore, until I used nvm use :(

I solved this issue by creating a symlink to the version that would be installed by nvm.

sudo mv /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node-system    
sudo mv /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/node-system 
nvm use node
  Now using node v12.20.1 (npm v6.14.10)
which node
  /home/paul/.nvm/versions/node/v12.20.1/bin/node
sudo ln -s /home/paul/.nvm/versions/node/v12.20.1/bin/node /usr/bin/node

Then open a new shell

node -v
  v12.20.1

VC++ fatal error LNK1168: cannot open filename.exe for writing

The problem is probably that you forgot to close the program and that you instead have the program running in the background.

Find the console window where the exe file program is running, and close it by clicking the X in the upper right corner. Then try to recompile the program. In my case this solved the problem.

How do I get the size of a java.sql.ResultSet?

[Speed consideration]

Lot of ppl here suggests ResultSet.last() but for that you would need to open connection as a ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE which for Derby embedded database is up to 10 times SLOWER than ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY.

According to my micro-tests for embedded Derby and H2 databases it is significantly faster to call SELECT COUNT(*) before your SELECT.

MySQL - Rows to Columns

I figure out one way to make my reports converting rows to columns almost dynamic using simple querys. You can see and test it online here.

The number of columns of query is fixed but the values are dynamic and based on values of rows. You can build it So, I use one query to build the table header and another one to see the values:

SELECT distinct concat('<th>',itemname,'</th>') as column_name_table_header FROM history order by 1;

SELECT
     hostid
    ,(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 0,1) then itemvalue else '' end) as col1
    ,(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 1,1) then itemvalue else '' end) as col2
    ,(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 2,1) then itemvalue else '' end) as col3
    ,(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 3,1) then itemvalue else '' end) as col4
FROM history order by 1;

You can summarize it, too:

SELECT
     hostid
    ,sum(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 0,1) then itemvalue end) as A
    ,sum(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 1,1) then itemvalue end) as B
    ,sum(case when itemname = (select distinct itemname from history a order by 1 limit 2,1) then itemvalue end) as C
FROM history group by hostid order by 1;
+--------+------+------+------+
| hostid | A    | B    | C    |
+--------+------+------+------+
|      1 |   10 |    3 | NULL |
|      2 |    9 | NULL |   40 |
+--------+------+------+------+

How to change webservice url endpoint?

To add some clarification here, when you create your service, the service class uses the default 'wsdlLocation', which was inserted into it when the class was built from the wsdl. So if you have a service class called SomeService, and you create an instance like this:

SomeService someService = new SomeService();

If you look inside SomeService, you will see that the constructor looks like this:

public SomeService() {
        super(__getWsdlLocation(), SOMESERVICE_QNAME);
}

So if you want it to point to another URL, you just use the constructor that takes a URL argument (there are 6 constructors for setting qname and features as well). For example, if you have set up a local TCP/IP monitor that is listening on port 9999, and you want to redirect to that URL:

URL newWsdlLocation = new URL("http://theServerName:9999/somePath");
SomeService someService = new SomeService(newWsdlLocation);

and that will call this constructor inside the service:

public SomeService(URL wsdlLocation) {
    super(wsdlLocation, SOMESERVICE_QNAME);
}

Curly braces in string in PHP

I've also found it useful to access object attributes where the attribute names vary by some iterator. For example, I have used the pattern below for a set of time periods: hour, day, month.

$periods=array('hour', 'day', 'month');
foreach ($periods as $period)
{
    $this->{'value_'.$period}=1;
}

This same pattern can also be used to access class methods. Just build up the method name in the same manner, using strings and string variables.

You could easily argue to just use an array for the value storage by period. If this application were PHP only, I would agree. I use this pattern when the class attributes map to fields in a database table. While it is possible to store arrays in a database using serialization, it is inefficient, and pointless if the individual fields must be indexed. I often add an array of the field names, keyed by the iterator, for the best of both worlds.

class timevalues
{
                             // Database table values:
    public $value_hour;      // maps to values.value_hour
    public $value_day;       // maps to values.value_day
    public $value_month;     // maps to values.value_month
    public $values=array();

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->value_hour=0;
        $this->value_day=0;
        $this->value_month=0;
        $this->values=array(
            'hour'=>$this->value_hour,
            'day'=>$this->value_day,
            'month'=>$this->value_month,
        );
    }
}

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

Easy stuff:

this function will accept the target $hash and $replacements is also a hash containing newkey=>oldkey associations.

This function will preserve original order, but could be problematic for very large (like above 10k records) arrays regarding performance & memory.

function keyRename(array $hash, array $replacements) {
    $new=array();
    foreach($hash as $k=>$v)
    {
        if($ok=array_search($k,$replacements))
            $k=$ok;
        $new[$k]=$v;
    }
    return $new;    
}

this alternative function would do the same, with far better performance & memory usage, at the cost of loosing original order (which should not be a problem since it is hashtable!)

function keyRename(array $hash, array $replacements) {

    foreach($hash as $k=>$v)
        if($ok=array_search($k,$replacements))
        {
          $hash[$ok]=$v;
          unset($hash[$k]);
        }

    return $hash;       
}

Allowing Untrusted SSL Certificates with HttpClient

A quick and dirty solution is to use the ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate. This allows you to provide your own certificate validation. The validation is applied globally across the whole App Domain.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
    (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;

I use this mainly for unit testing in situations where I want to run against an endpoint that I am hosting in process and am trying to hit it with a WCF client or the HttpClient.

For production code you may want more fine grained control and would be better off using the WebRequestHandler and its ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate property (See dtb's answer below). Or ctacke answer using the HttpClientHandler. I am preferring either of these two now even with my integration tests over how I used to do it unless I cannot find any other hook.

Argument Exception "Item with Same Key has already been added"

As others have said, you are adding the same key more than once. If this is a NOT a valid scenario, then check Jdinklage Morgoone's answer (which only saves the first value found for a key), or, consider this workaround (which only saves the last value found for a key):

// This will always overwrite the existing value if one is already stored for this key
rct3Features[items[0]] = items[1];

Otherwise, if it is valid to have multiple values for a single key, then you should consider storing your values in a List<string> for each string key.

For example:

var rct3Features = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
var rct4Features = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();

foreach (string line in rct3Lines)
{
    string[] items = line.Split(new String[] { " " }, 2, StringSplitOptions.None);

    if (!rct3Features.ContainsKey(items[0]))
    {
        // No items for this key have been added, so create a new list
        // for the value with item[1] as the only item in the list
        rct3Features.Add(items[0], new List<string> { items[1] });
    }
    else
    {
        // This key already exists, so add item[1] to the existing list value
        rct3Features[items[0]].Add(items[1]);
    }
}

// To display your keys and values (testing)
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, List<string>> item in rct3Features)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The Key: {0} has values:", item.Key);
    foreach (string value in item.Value)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(" - {0}", value);
    }
}

Android get Current UTC time

System.currentTimeMillis() does give you the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. The reason you see local times might be because you convert a Date instance to a string before using it. You can use DateFormats to convert Dates to Strings in any timezone:

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("gmt"));
String gmtTime = df.format(new Date());

How to create a printable Twitter-Bootstrap page

There's a section of @media print code in the css file (Bootstrap 3.3.1 [UPDATE:] to 3.3.5), this strips virtually all the styling, so you get fairly bland print-outs even when it is working.

For now I've had to resort to stripping out the @media print section from bootstrap.css - which I'm really not happy about but my users want direct screen-grabs so this'll have to do for now. If anyone knows how to suppress it without changes to the bootstrap files I'd be very interested.

Here's the 'offending' code block, starts at line #192:

How can I write a regex which matches non greedy?

The non-greedy ? works perfectly fine. It's just that you need to select dot matches all option in the regex engines (regexpal, the engine you used, also has this option) you are testing with. This is because, regex engines generally don't match line breaks when you use .. You need to tell them explicitly that you want to match line-breaks too with .

For example,

<img\s.*?>

works fine!

Check the results here.

Also, read about how dot behaves in various regex flavours.

Do we have router.reload in vue-router?

Here's a solution if you just want to update certain components on a page:

In template

<Component1 :key="forceReload" />
<Component2 :key="forceReload" />

In data

data() {
  return {
    forceReload: 0
  {
}

In methods:

   Methods: {
     reload() {
        this.forceReload += 1
     }
   }

Use a unique key and bind it to a data property for each one you want to update (I typically only need this for a single component, two at the most. If you need more, I suggest just refreshing the full page using the other answers.

I learned this from Michael Thiessen's post: https://medium.com/hackernoon/the-correct-way-to-force-vue-to-re-render-a-component-bde2caae34ad

How do I check if a list is empty?

I prefer it explicitly:

Adding quotes to a string in VBScript

    calc = int(calc) + 1

To try to improve this Rashid's good answer I'm adding some comments:

The trick is done over the wrapper of the image to be swapped (an 'a' tag this time but maybe another) so the 'hover_image' class has been put there.

Advantages:

Keeping both images url together in the same place helps if they need to be changed.
Seems to work with old navigators too (CSS2 standard).
It's self explanatory.
The hover image is preloaded (no delay after hovering).

How to unstage large number of files without deleting the content

If you have a pristine repo (or HEAD isn't set)^[1] you could simply

rm .git/index

Of course, this will require you to re-add the files that you did want to be added.

^[1] Note (as explained in the comments) this would usually only happen when the repo is brand-new ("pristine") or if no commits have been made. More technically, whenever there is no checkout or work-tree.

Just making it more clear :)

"std::endl" vs "\n"

There might be performance issues, std::endl forces a flush of the output stream.

Determining Referer in PHP

We have only single option left after reading all the fake referrer problems: i.e. The page we desire to track as referrer should be kept in session, and as ajax called then checking in session if it has referrer page value and doing the action other wise no action.

While on the other hand as he request any different page then make the referrer session value to null.

Remember that session variable is set on desire page request only.

jQuery checkbox check/uncheck

 $('mainCheckBox').click(function(){
    if($(this).prop('checked')){
        $('Id or Class of checkbox').prop('checked', true);
    }else{
        $('Id or Class of checkbox').prop('checked', false);
    }
});

Rendering raw html with reactjs

I needed to use a link with onLoad attribute in my head where div is not allowed so this caused me significant pain. My current workaround is to close the original script tag, do what I need to do, then open script tag (to be closed by the original). Hope this might help someone who has absolutely no other choice:

<script dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: `</script>
   <link rel="preload" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" as="style" onLoad="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'" crossOrigin="anonymous"/>
<script>`,}}/>

Change the value in app.config file dynamically

How to fix "containing working copy admin area is missing" in SVN?

Didn't understand much from your posts. My solution is

Cut the problematic folder and copy to some location.
Do Get Solution From Subversion into another working directory (just new one).
Add your saved folder to the new working copy and add it As Existing Project (if it's project as in my case).

Passing an integer by reference in Python

In Python, every value is a reference (a pointer to an object), just like non-primitives in Java. Also, like Java, Python only has pass by value. So, semantically, they are pretty much the same.

Since you mention Java in your question, I would like to see how you achieve what you want in Java. If you can show it in Java, I can show you how to do it exactly equivalently in Python.

SQL to generate a list of numbers from 1 to 100

Using Oracle's sub query factory clause: "WITH", you can select numbers from 1 to 100:

WITH t(n) AS (
  SELECT 1 from dual
  UNION ALL
    SELECT n+1 FROM t WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;

Auto increment in phpmyadmin

Just run a simple MySQL query and set the auto increment number to whatever you want.

ALTER TABLE `table_name` AUTO_INCREMENT=10000

In terms of a maximum, as far as I am aware there is not one, nor is there any way to limit such number.

It is perfectly safe, and common practice to set an id number as a primiary key, auto incrementing int. There are alternatives such as using PHP to generate membership numbers for you in a specific format and then checking the number does not exist prior to inserting, however for me personally I'd go with the primary id auto_inc value.

How to add/subtract time (hours, minutes, etc.) from a Pandas DataFrame.Index whos objects are of type datetime.time?

The Philippe solution but cleaner:

My subtraction data is: '2018-09-22T11:05:00.000Z'

import datetime
import pandas as pd

df_modified = pd.to_datetime(df_reference.index.values) - datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 22, 11, 5, 0)

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express permissions -- cannot create database or modify users

I have 2 accounts on my windows machine and I was experiencing this problem with one of them. I did not want to use the sa account, I wanted to use Windows login. It was not immediately obvious to me that I needed to simply sign into the other account that I used to install SQL Server, and add the permissions for the new account from there

(SSMS > Security > Logins > Add a login there)

Easy way to get the full domain name you need to add there open cmd echo each one.

echo %userdomain%\%username%

Add a login for that user and give it all the permissons for master db and other databases you want. When I say "all permissions" make sure NOT to check of any of the "deny" permissions since that will do the opposite.

How to add Drop-Down list (<select>) programmatically?

const countryResolver = (data = [{}]) => {
    const countrySelecter = document.createElement('select');
    countrySelecter.className = `custom-select`;
    countrySelecter.id = `countrySelect`;
    countrySelecter.setAttribute("aria-label", "Example select with button addon");

    let opt = document.createElement("option");
    opt.text = "Select language";
    opt.disabled = true;
    countrySelecter.add(opt, null);
    let i = 0;
    for (let item of data) {
        let opt = document.createElement("option");
        opt.value = item.Id;
        opt.text = `${i++}. ${item.Id} - ${item.Value}(${item.Comment})`;
        countrySelecter.add(opt, null);
    }
    return countrySelecter;
};

I want to use CASE statement to update some records in sql server 2005

This is also an alternate use of case-when...

UPDATE [dbo].[JobTemplates]
SET [CycleId] = 
    CASE [Id]
        WHEN 1376 THEN 44   --ACE1 FX1
        WHEN 1385 THEN 44   --ACE1 FX2
        WHEN 1574 THEN 43   --ACE1 ELEM1
        WHEN 1576 THEN 43   --ACE1 ELEM2
        WHEN 1581 THEN 41   --ACE1 FS1
        WHEN 1585 THEN 42   --ACE1 HS1
        WHEN 1588 THEN 43   --ACE1 RS1
        WHEN 1589 THEN 44   --ACE1 RM1
        WHEN 1590 THEN 43   --ACE1 ELEM3
        WHEN 1591 THEN 43   --ACE1 ELEM4
        WHEN 1595 THEN 44   --ACE1 SSTn     
        ELSE 0

    [Id] IN (1376,1385,1574,1576,1581,1585,1588,1589,1590,1591,1595)

I like the use of the temporary tables in cases where duplicate values are not permitted and your update may create them. For example:

SELECT
     [Id]
    ,[QueueId]
    ,[BaseDimensionId]
    ,[ElastomerTypeId]
    ,CASE [CycleId]
        WHEN  29 THEN 44
        WHEN  30 THEN 43
        WHEN  31 THEN 43
        WHEN 101 THEN 41
        WHEN 102 THEN 43
        WHEN 116 THEN 42
        WHEN 120 THEN 44
        WHEN 127 THEN 44
        WHEN 129 THEN 44
        ELSE    0
     END                AS [CycleId]
INTO
    ##ACE1_PQPANominals_1

    [dbo].[ProductionQueueProcessAutoclaveNominals]
WHERE
    [QueueId] = 3
ORDER BY 
    [BaseDimensionId], [ElastomerTypeId], [Id];
---- (403 row(s) affected)

UPDATE [dbo].[ProductionQueueProcessAutoclaveNominals]
SET 
    [CycleId] = X.[CycleId]
FROM
    [dbo].[ProductionQueueProcessAutoclaveNominals]
INNER JOIN

    SELECT  
        MIN([Id]) AS [Id],[QueueId],[BaseDimensionId],[ElastomerTypeId],[CycleId] 
    FROM 
        ##ACE1_PQPANominals_1
    GROUP BY

Python, how to read bytes from file and save it?

Use the open function to open the file. The open function returns a file object, which you can use the read and write to files:

file_input = open('input.txt') #opens a file in reading mode
file_output = open('output.txt') #opens a file in writing mode

data = file_input.read(1024) #read 1024 bytes from the input file
file_output.write(data) #write the data to the output file

How to check if the string is empty?

I would test noneness before stripping. Also, I would use the fact that empty strings are False (or Falsy). This approach is similar to Apache's StringUtils.isBlank or Guava's Strings.isNullOrEmpty

This is what I would use to test if a string is either None OR Empty OR Blank:

def isBlank (myString):
    if myString and myString.strip():
        #myString is not None AND myString is not empty or blank
        return False
    #myString is None OR myString is empty or blank
    return True

And, the exact opposite to test if a string is not None NOR Empty NOR Blank:

def isNotBlank (myString):
    if myString and myString.strip():
        #myString is not None AND myString is not empty or blank
        return True
    #myString is None OR myString is empty or blank
    return False

More concise forms of the above code:

def isBlank (myString):
    return not (myString and myString.strip())

def isNotBlank (myString):
    return bool(myString and myString.strip())

Sending mail from Python using SMTP

following code is working fine for me:

import smtplib

to = '[email protected]'
gmail_user = '[email protected]'
gmail_pwd = 'yourpassword'
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo() # extra characters to permit edit
smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
header = 'To:' + to + '\n' + 'From: ' + gmail_user + '\n' + 'Subject:testing \n'
print header
msg = header + '\n this is test msg from mkyong.com \n\n'
smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg)
print 'done!'
smtpserver.quit()

Detect click inside/outside of element with single event handler

Using jQuery, and assuming that you have <div id="foo">:

jQuery(function($){
  $('#foo').click(function(e){
    console.log( 'clicked on div' );
    e.stopPropagation(); // Prevent bubbling
  });
  $('body').click(function(e){
    console.log( 'clicked outside of div' );
  });
});

Edit: For a single handler:

jQuery(function($){
  $('body').click(function(e){
    var clickedOn = $(e.target);
    if (clickedOn.parents().andSelf().is('#foo')){
      console.log( "Clicked on", clickedOn[0], "inside the div" );
    }else{
      console.log( "Clicked outside the div" );
  });
});

AngularJS: How can I pass variables between controllers?

The sample above worked like a charm. I just did a modification just in case I need to manage multiple values. I hope this helps!

app.service('sharedProperties', function () {

    var hashtable = {};

    return {
        setValue: function (key, value) {
            hashtable[key] = value;
        },
        getValue: function (key) {
            return hashtable[key];
        }
    }
});

OR, AND Operator

Use '&&' for AND and use '||' for OR, for example:

bool A;
bool B;

bool resultOfAnd = A && B; // Returns the result of an AND
bool resultOfOr = A || B; // Returns the result of an OR

phpMyAdmin - config.inc.php configuration?

for phpMyAdmin-4.8.5-all-languages copy content from config.sample.inc.php into new file config.inc.php and instead of

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

put the folowing content:

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost}';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '{your root mysql username';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '{your pasword for root user to login into mysql}';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

the rest remain commented an un-changed...

Conditional replacement of values in a data.frame

Here is one approach. ifelse is vectorized and it checks all rows for zero values of b and replaces est with (a - 5)/2.53 if that is the case.

df <- transform(df, est = ifelse(b == 0, (a - 5)/2.53, est))

difference between throw and throw new Exception()

None of the answers here show the difference, which could be helpful for folks struggling to understand the difference. Consider this sample code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ExceptionDemo
{
   class Program
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         void fail()
         {
            (null as string).Trim();
         }

         void bareThrow()
         {
            try
            {
               fail();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
               throw;
            }
         }

         void rethrow()
         {
            try
            {
               fail();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
               throw e;
            }
         }

         void innerThrow()
         {
            try
            {
               fail();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
               throw new Exception("outer", e);
            }
         }

         var cases = new Dictionary<string, Action>()
         {
            { "Bare Throw:", bareThrow },
            { "Rethrow", rethrow },
            { "Inner Throw", innerThrow }
         };

         foreach (var c in cases)
         {
            Console.WriteLine(c.Key);
            Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 40));
            try
            {
               c.Value();
            } catch (Exception e)
            {
               Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Which generates the following output:

Bare Throw:
----------------------------------------
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<Main>g__fail|0_0() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 12
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<>c.<Main>g__bareThrow|0_1() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 19
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 64

Rethrow
----------------------------------------
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<>c.<Main>g__rethrow|0_2() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 35
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 64

Inner Throw
----------------------------------------
System.Exception: outer ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<Main>g__fail|0_0() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 12
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<>c.<Main>g__innerThrow|0_3() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 43
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.<>c.<Main>g__innerThrow|0_3() in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 47
   at ExceptionDemo.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\...\ExceptionDemo\Program.cs:line 64

The bare throw, as indicated in the previous answers, clearly shows both the original line of code that failed (line 12) as well as the two other points active in the call stack when the exception occurred (lines 19 and 64).

The output of the re-throw case shows why it's a problem. When the exception is rethrown like this the exception won't include the original stack information. Note that only the throw e (line 35) and outermost call stack point (line 64) are included. It would be difficult to track down the fail() method as the source of the problem if you throw exceptions this way.

The last case (innerThrow) is most elaborate and includes more information than either of the above. Since we're instantiating a new exception we get the chance to add contextual information (the "outer" message, here but we can also add to the .Data dictionary on the new exception) as well as preserving all of the information in the original exception (including help links, data dictionary, etc.).

How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog?

Personally I see this as a recurrent requirement in many views of many ASP.Net MVC applications.

That's why I defined a model class and a partial view:

using Resources;

namespace YourNamespace.Models
{
  public class SyConfirmationDialogModel
  {
    public SyConfirmationDialogModel()
    {
      this.DialogId = "dlgconfirm";
      this.DialogTitle = Global.LblTitleConfirm;
      this.UrlAttribute = "href";
      this.ButtonConfirmText = Global.LblButtonConfirm;
      this.ButtonCancelText = Global.LblButtonCancel;
    }

    public string DialogId { get; set; }
    public string DialogTitle { get; set; }
    public string DialogMessage { get; set; }
    public string JQueryClickSelector { get; set; }
    public string UrlAttribute { get; set; }
    public string ButtonConfirmText { get; set; }
    public string ButtonCancelText { get; set; }
  }
}

And my partial view:

@using YourNamespace.Models;

@model SyConfirmationDialogModel

<div id="@Model.DialogId" title="@Model.DialogTitle">
  @Model.DialogMessage
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
    $("#@Model.DialogId").dialog({
      autoOpen: false,
      modal: true
    });

    $("@Model.JQueryClickSelector").click(function (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var sTargetUrl = $(this).attr("@Model.UrlAttribute");

      $("#@Model.DialogId").dialog({
        buttons: {
          "@Model.ButtonConfirmText": function () {
            window.location.href = sTargetUrl;
          },  
          "@Model.ButtonCancelText": function () {
            $(this).dialog("close");
          }
        }
      });

      $("#@Model.DialogId").dialog("open");
    });
  });
</script>

And then, every time you need it in a view, you just use @Html.Partial (in did it in section scripts so that JQuery is defined):

@Html.Partial("_ConfirmationDialog", new SyConfirmationDialogModel() { DialogMessage = Global.LblConfirmDelete, JQueryClickSelector ="a[class=SyLinkDelete]"})

The trick is to specify the JQueryClickSelector that will match the elements that need a confirmation dialog. In my case, all anchors with the class SyLinkDelete but it could be an identifier, a different class etc. For me it was a list of:

<a title="Delete" class="SyLinkDelete" href="/UserDefinedList/DeleteEntry?Params">
    <img class="SyImageDelete" alt="Delete" src="/Images/DeleteHS.png" border="0">
</a>

How to pass a type as a method parameter in Java

You can pass an instance of java.lang.Class that represents the type, i.e.

private void foo(Class cls)

SQL query to select distinct row with minimum value

Ken Clark's answer didn't work in my case. It might not work in yours either. If not, try this:

SELECT * 
from table T

INNER JOIN
  (
  select id, MIN(point) MinPoint
  from table T
  group by AccountId
  ) NewT on T.id = NewT.id and T.point = NewT.MinPoint

Spring: Returning empty HTTP Responses with ResponseEntity<Void> doesn't work

NOTE: This is true for the version mentioned in the question, 4.1.1.RELEASE.

Spring MVC handles a ResponseEntity return value through HttpEntityMethodProcessor.

When the ResponseEntity value doesn't have a body set, as is the case in your snippet, HttpEntityMethodProcessor tries to determine a content type for the response body from the parameterization of the ResponseEntity return type in the signature of the @RequestMapping handler method.

So for

public ResponseEntity<Void> taxonomyPackageExists( @PathVariable final String key ) {

that type will be Void. HttpEntityMethodProcessor will then loop through all its registered HttpMessageConverter instances and find one that can write a body for a Void type. Depending on your configuration, it may or may not find any.

If it does find any, it still needs to make sure that the corresponding body will be written with a Content-Type that matches the type(s) provided in the request's Accept header, application/xml in your case.

If after all these checks, no such HttpMessageConverter exists, Spring MVC will decide that it cannot produce an acceptable response and therefore return a 406 Not Acceptable HTTP response.

With ResponseEntity<String>, Spring will use String as the response body and find StringHttpMessageConverter as a handler. And since StringHttpMessageHandler can produce content for any media type (provided in the Accept header), it will be able to handle the application/xml that your client is requesting.

Spring MVC has since been changed to only return 406 if the body in the ResponseEntity is NOT null. You won't see the behavior in the original question if you're using a more recent version of Spring MVC.

In iddy85's solution, which seems to suggest ResponseEntity<?>, the type for the body will be inferred as Object. If you have the correct libraries in your classpath, ie. Jackson (version > 2.5.0) and its XML extension, Spring MVC will have access to MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter which it can use to produce application/xml for the type Object. Their solution only works under these conditions. Otherwise, it will fail for the same reason I've described above.

Remote origin already exists on 'git push' to a new repository

I got the same issue, and here is how I fixed it after doing some research:

Download GitHub for Windows or use something similar, which includes a shell
Open the Git Shell from task menu. This will open a power shell including Git commands.
In the shell, switch to your old repository, e.g. cd C:\path\to\old\repository
Show status of the old repository
- Type git remote -v to get the remote path for fetch and push remote. If your local repository is connected to a remote, it will show something like this:
  
  origin https://[email protected]/team-or-user-name/myproject.git (fetch) origin https://[email protected]/team-or-user-name/myproject.git (push)
- If it's not connected, it might show origin only.
Now remove the remote repository from local repository by using
```
git remote rm origin
```
Check again with step 4. It should show origin only, instead of the fetch and push path.
Now that your old remote repository is disconnected, you can add the new remote repository. Use the following to connect to your new repository.

Note: In case you are using Bitbucket, you would create a project on Bitbucket first. After creation, Bitbucket will display all required Git commands to push your repository to remote, which look similar to the next code snippet. However, this works for other repositories, too.

cd /path/to/my/repo # If haven't done yet
git remote add mynewrepo https://[email protected]/team-or-user-name/myproject.git
git push -u mynewrepo master # To push changes for the first time

That's it.

Deprecated: mysql_connect()

There are a few solutions to your problem.

The way with MySQLi would be like this:

<?php
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');

To run database queries is also simple and nearly identical with the old way:

<?php
// Old way
mysql_query('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `table`', $connection);
// New way
mysqli_query($connection, 'CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `table`');

Turn off all deprecated warnings including them from mysql_*:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

The Exact file and line location which needs to be replaced is "/System/Startup.php > line: 2 " error_reporting(E_All); replace with error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

substring index range

For substring(startIndex, endIndex), startIndex is inclusive and endIndex are exclusive. The startIndex and endIndex are very confusing. I would understand substring(startIndex, length) to remember that.

Run certain code every n seconds

def update():
    import time
    while True:
        print 'Hello World!'
        time.sleep(5)

That'll run as a function. The while True: makes it run forever. You can always take it out of the function if you need.

Maximum number of records in a MySQL database table

The greatest value of an integer has little to do with the maximum number of rows you can store in a table.

It's true that if you use an int or bigint as your primary key, you can only have as many rows as the number of unique values in the data type of your primary key, but you don't have to make your primary key an integer, you could make it a CHAR(100). You could also declare the primary key over more than one column.

There are other constraints on table size besides number of rows. For instance you could use an operating system that has a file size limitation. Or you could have a 300GB hard drive that can store only 300 million rows if each row is 1KB in size.

The limits of database size is really high:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/source-configuration-options.html

The MyISAM storage engine supports 2³² rows per table, but you can build MySQL with the --with-big-tables option to make it support up to 2⁶⁴ rows per table.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/innodb-restrictions.html

The InnoDB storage engine has an internal 6-byte row ID per table, so there are a maximum number of rows equal to 2⁴⁸ or 281,474,976,710,656.

An InnoDB tablespace also has a limit on table size of 64 terabytes. How many rows fits into this depends on the size of each row.

The 64TB limit assumes the default page size of 16KB. You can increase the page size, and therefore increase the tablespace up to 256TB. But I think you'd find other performance factors make this inadvisable long before you grow a table to that size.

MySQL 'create schema' and 'create database' - Is there any difference

CREATE SCHEMA is a synonym for CREATE DATABASE. CREATE DATABASE Syntax

No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is present on the requested resource

Solution:
Instead of using setHeader method I have used addHeader.

response.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");

* in above line will allow access to all domains, For allowing access to specific domain only:

response.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "http://www.example.com");

How to download a file with Node.js (without using third-party libraries)?

Vince Yuan's code is great but it seems to be something wrong.

function download(url, dest, callback) {
    var file = fs.createWriteStream(dest);
    var request = http.get(url, function (response) {
        response.pipe(file);
        file.on('finish', function () {
            file.close(callback); // close() is async, call callback after close completes.
        });
        file.on('error', function (err) {
            fs.unlink(dest); // Delete the file async. (But we don't check the result)

How to store Node.js deployment settings/configuration files?

I use a package.json for my packages and a config.js for my configuration, which looks like:

var config = {};

config.twitter = {};
config.redis = {};
config.web = {};

config.default_stuff =  ['red','green','blue','apple','yellow','orange','politics'];
config.twitter.user_name = process.env.TWITTER_USER || 'username';
config.twitter.password=  process.env.TWITTER_PASSWORD || 'password';
config.redis.uri = process.env.DUOSTACK_DB_REDIS;
config.redis.host = 'hostname';
config.redis.port = 6379;
config.web.port = process.env.WEB_PORT || 9980;

module.exports = config;

I load the config from my project:

var config = require('./config');

and then I can access my things from config.db_host, config.db_port, etc... This lets me either use hardcoded parameters, or parameters stored in environmental variables if I don't want to store passwords in source control.

I also generate a package.json and insert a dependencies section:

"dependencies": {
  "cradle": "0.5.5",
  "jade": "0.10.4",
  "redis": "0.5.11",
  "socket.io": "0.6.16",
  "twitter-node": "0.0.2",
  "express": "2.2.0"
}

When I clone the project to my local machine, I run npm install to install the packages. More info on that here.

The project is stored in GitHub, with remotes added for my production server.

SELECT * FROM multiple tables. MySQL

In order to get rid of duplicates, you can group by drinks.id. But that way you'll get only one photo for each drinks.id (which photo you'll get depends on database internal implementation).

Though it is not documented, in case of MySQL, you'll get the photo with lowest id (in my experience I've never seen other behavior).

SELECT name, price, photo 
FROM drinks, drinks_photos 
WHERE drinks.id = drinks_id
GROUP BY drinks.id

Check if value exists in enum in TypeScript

Update:

I've found that whenever I need to check if a value exists in an enum, I don't really need an enum and that a type is a better solution. So my enum in my original answer becomes:

export type ValidColors =
  | "red"
  | "orange"
  | "yellow"
  | "green"
  | "blue"
  | "purple";

Original answer:

For clarity, I like to break the values and includes calls onto separate lines. Here's an example:

export enum ValidColors {
  Red = "red",
  Orange = "orange",
  Yellow = "yellow",
  Green = "green",
  Blue = "blue",
  Purple = "purple",
}

function isValidColor(color: string): boolean {
  const options: string[] = Object.values(ButtonColors);
  return options.includes(color);
}

Explicitly calling return in a function or not

Question was: Why is not (explicitly) calling return faster or better, and thus preferable?

There is no statement in R documentation making such an assumption.
The main page ?'function' says:

function( arglist ) expr
return(value)

Is it faster without calling return?

Both function() and return() are primitive functions and the function() itself returns last evaluated value even without including return() function.

Calling return() as .Primitive('return') with that last value as an argument will do the same job but needs one call more. So that this (often) unnecessary .Primitive('return') call can draw additional resources. Simple measurement however shows that the resulting difference is very small and thus can not be the reason for not using explicit return. The following plot is created from data selected this way:

bench_nor2 <- function(x,repeats) { system.time(rep(
# without explicit return
(function(x) vector(length=x,mode="numeric"))(x)
,repeats)) }

bench_ret2 <- function(x,repeats) { system.time(rep(
# with explicit return
(function(x) return(vector(length=x,mode="numeric")))(x)
,repeats)) }

maxlen <- 1000
reps <- 10000
along <- seq(from=1,to=maxlen,by=5)
ret <- sapply(along,FUN=bench_ret2,repeats=reps)
nor <- sapply(along,FUN=bench_nor2,repeats=reps)
res <- data.frame(N=along,ELAPSED_RET=ret["elapsed",],ELAPSED_NOR=nor["elapsed",])

# res object is then visualized
# R version 2.15

Function elapsed time comparison

The picture above may slightly difffer on your platform. Based on measured data, the size of returned object is not causing any difference, the number of repeats (even if scaled up) makes just a very small difference, which in real word with real data and real algorithm could not be counted or make your script run faster.

Is it better without calling return?

Return is good tool for clearly designing "leaves" of code where the routine should end, jump out of the function and return value.

# here without calling .Primitive('return')
> (function() {10;20;30;40})()
[1] 40
# here with .Primitive('return')
> (function() {10;20;30;40;return(40)})()
[1] 40
# here return terminates flow
> (function() {10;20;return();30;40})()
NULL
> (function() {10;20;return(25);30;40})()
[1] 25
>

It depends on strategy and programming style of the programmer what style he use, he can use no return() as it is not required.

R core programmers uses both approaches ie. with and without explicit return() as it is possible to find in sources of 'base' functions.

Many times only return() is used (no argument) returning NULL in cases to conditially stop the function.

It is not clear if it is better or not as standard user or analyst using R can not see the real difference.

My opinion is that the question should be: Is there any danger in using explicit return coming from R implementation?

Or, maybe better, user writing function code should always ask: What is the effect in not using explicit return (or placing object to be returned as last leaf of code branch) in the function code?

SQL join format - nested inner joins

For readability, I restructured the query... starting with the apparent top-most level being Table1, which then ties to Table3, and then table3 ties to table2. Much easier to follow if you follow the chain of relationships.

Now, to answer your question. You are getting a large count as the result of a Cartesian product. For each record in Table1 that matches in Table3 you will have X * Y. Then, for each match between table3 and Table2 will have the same impact... Y * Z... So your result for just one possible ID in table 1 can have X * Y * Z records.

This is based on not knowing how the normalization or content is for your tables... if the key is a PRIMARY key or not..

Ex:
Table 1       
DiffKey    Other Val
1          X
1          Y
1          Z

Table 3
DiffKey   Key    Key2  Tbl3 Other
1         2      6     V
1         2      6     X
1         2      6     Y
1         2      6     Z

Table 2
Key    Key2   Other Val
2      6      a
2      6      b
2      6      c
2      6      d
2      6      e

So, Table 1 joining to Table 3 will result (in this scenario) with 12 records (each in 1 joined with each in 3). Then, all that again times each matched record in table 2 (5 records)... total of 60 ( 3 tbl1 * 4 tbl3 * 5 tbl2 )count would be returned.

So, now, take that and expand based on your 1000's of records and you see how a messed-up structure could choke a cow (so-to-speak) and kill performance.

SELECT
      COUNT(*)
   FROM
      Table1 
         INNER JOIN Table3
            ON Table1.DifferentKey = Table3.DifferentKey
            INNER JOIN Table2
               ON Table3.Key =Table2.Key
               AND Table3.Key2 = Table2.Key2

error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated

As a side-note, you can enable/disable individual warnings using #pragma. You can have a look at the documentation here

From the documentation:

// pragma_warning.cpp
// compile with: /W1
#pragma warning(disable:4700)
void Test() {
   int x;
   int y = x;   // no C4700 here
   #pragma warning(default:4700)   // C4700 enabled after Test ends
}

int main() {
   int x;
   int y = x;   // C4700
}

REACT - toggle class onclick

I would prefer using "&&" -operator on inline if-statement. In my opinnion it gives cleaner codebase this way.

Generally you could be doing something like this

render(){
return(
  <div>
    <button className={this.state.active && 'active'}
      onClick={ () => this.setState({active: !this.state.active}) }>Click me</button>
  </div>
)
}

Just keep in mind arrow function is ES6 feature and remember to set 'this.state.active' value in class constructor(){}

this.state = { active: false }

or if you want to inject css in JSX you are able to do it this way

<button style={this.state.active && style.button} >button</button>

and you can declare style json variable

const style = { button: { background:'red' } }

remember using camelCase on JSX stylesheets.

Find what 2 numbers add to something and multiply to something

Come on guys, there is no need to loop, just use simple math to solve this equation system:

a*b = i;

a+b = j;

a = j/b;

a = i-b;

j/b = i-b; so:

b + j/b + i = 0

b^2 + i*b + j = 0

From here, its a quadratic equation, and it's trivial to find b (just implement the quadratic equation formula) and from there get the value for a.

EDIT:

There you go:

function finder($add,$product)
{

 $inside_root = $add*$add - 4*$product;

 if($inside_root >=0)
 {

     $b = ($add + sqrt($inside_root))/2;
     $a = $add - $b;

     echo "$a+$b = $add and $a*$b=$product\n";

 }else
 {
   echo "No real solution\n";
 }
}

How to read a single char from the console in Java (as the user types it)?

You need to knock your console into raw mode. There is no built-in platform-independent way of getting there. jCurses might be interesting, though.

On a Unix system, this might work:

String[] cmd = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "stty raw </dev/tty"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd).waitFor();

For example, if you want to take into account the time between keystrokes, here's sample code to get there.

How do I check if a number is a palindrome?

Personally I do it this way, and there's no overlap; the code stops checking for matching characters in the correct spot whether the string has an even or odd length. Some of the other methods posted above will attempt to match one extra time when it doesn't need to.

If we use length/2, it will still work but it will do one additional check that it doesn't need to do. For instance, "pop" is 3 in length. 3/2 = 1.5, so it will stop checking when i = 2(since 1<1.5 it will check when i = 1 as well) but we need it to stop at 0, not one. The first "p" is in position 0, and it will check itself against length-1-0(current position) which is the last "p" in position 2, and then we are left with the center letter that needs no checking. When we do length/2 we stop at 1, so what happens is an extra check is performed with i being on the 1 position(the "o") and compares it to itself (length-1-i).

// Checks if our string is palindromic.
var ourString = "A Man, /.,.()^&*A Plan, A Canal__-Panama!";
isPalin(ourString);

function isPalin(string) {
// Make all lower case for case insensitivity and replace all spaces, underscores and non-words.
string = string.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, "").replace(/\W/g,"").replace(/_/g,"");
for(i=0; i<=Math.floor(string.length/2-1); i++) {
      if(string[i] !== string[string.length-1-i]) {
        console.log("Your string is not palindromic!");
        break;
      } else if(i === Math.floor(string.length/2-1)) {
        console.log("Your string is palindromic!");
      }
    }

How can I make the Android emulator show the soft keyboard?

To be more precise, with Lollipop these are the steps I followed to show soft keyboard:

Settings > Language & Input;
under "Keyboard & input methods" label, select "Current Keyboard";
A Dialog named "Change Keyboard" appears, switch ON "Hardware", then select "Choose keyboards";
another Dialog appears, switch ON the "Sample Soft Keyboard". Here you get an alert about the possibility that keyboard will store everything you write, also passwords. Give OK;
Repeat above steps in order to show "Change Keyboard" Dialog again, here the new option "Sample Soft Keyboard" is available and you can select it.

NOTE: after that, you might experience problems in running you app (as I had). Simply restart the emulator.

Error: Failed to lookup view in Express

Adding to @mihai's answer:

If you are in Windows, then just concatenating __dirname' + '../public' will result in wrong directory name (For example: c:\dev\app\module../public).

Instead use path, which will work irrespective of the OS:

var path = require ('path');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname + '../public')));

path.join will normalize the path separator character and will return correct path value.

How do I add an integer value with javascript (jquery) to a value that's returning a string?

parseInt() will force it to be type integer, or will be NaN (not a number) if it cannot perform the conversion.

var currentValue = parseInt($("#replies").text(),10);

The second paramter (radix) makes sure it is parsed as a decimal number.

How to timeout a thread

Assuming the thread code is out of your control:

From the Java documentation mentioned above:

What if a thread doesn't respond to Thread.interrupt?

In some cases, you can use application specific tricks. For example, if a thread is waiting on a known socket, you can close the socket to cause the thread to return immediately. Unfortunately, there really isn't any technique that works in general. It should be noted that in all situations where a waiting thread doesn't respond to Thread.interrupt, it wouldn't respond to Thread.stop either. Such cases include deliberate denial-of-service attacks, and I/O operations for which thread.stop and thread.interrupt do not work properly.

Bottom Line:

Make sure all threads can be interrupted, or else you need specific knowledge of the thread - like having a flag to set. Maybe you can require that the task be given to you along with the code needed to stop it - define an interface with a stop() method. You can also warn when you failed to stop a task.

Python: How would you save a simple settings/config file?

Configuration files in python

There are several ways to do this depending on the file format required.

ConfigParser [.ini format]

I would use the standard configparser approach unless there were compelling reasons to use a different format.

Write a file like so:

# python 2.x
# from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
# config = SafeConfigParser()

# python 3.x
from configparser import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser()

config.read('config.ini')
config.add_section('main')
config.set('main', 'key1', 'value1')
config.set('main', 'key2', 'value2')
config.set('main', 'key3', 'value3')

with open('config.ini', 'w') as f:
    config.write(f)

The file format is very simple with sections marked out in square brackets:

[main]
key1 = value1
key2 = value2
key3 = value3

Values can be extracted from the file like so:

# python 2.x
# from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
# config = SafeConfigParser()

# python 3.x
from configparser import ConfigParser
config = ConfigParser()

config.read('config.ini')

print config.get('main', 'key1') # -> "value1"
print config.get('main', 'key2') # -> "value2"
print config.get('main', 'key3') # -> "value3"

# getfloat() raises an exception if the value is not a float
a_float = config.getfloat('main', 'a_float')

# getint() and getboolean() also do this for their respective types
an_int = config.getint('main', 'an_int')

JSON [.json format]

JSON data can be very complex and has the advantage of being highly portable.

Write data to a file:

import json

config = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}

with open('config1.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f)

Read data from a file:

import json

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)

#edit the data
config['key3'] = 'value3'

#write it back to the file
with open('config.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f)

How to implement a Boolean search with multiple columns in pandas

All the considerations made by @EdChum in 2014 are still valid, but the pandas.Dataframe.ix method is deprecated from the version 0.0.20 of pandas. Directly from the docs:

Warning: Starting in 0.20.0, the .ix indexer is deprecated, in favor of the more strict .iloc and .loc indexers.

In subsequent versions of pandas, this method has been replaced by new indexing methods pandas.Dataframe.loc and pandas.Dataframe.iloc.

If you want to learn more, in this post you can find comparisons between the methods mentioned above.

Ultimately, to date (and there does not seem to be any change in the upcoming versions of pandas from this point of view), the answer to this question is as follows:

foo = df.loc[(df['column1']==value) | (df['columns2'] == 'b') | (df['column3'] == 'c')]

How to run a SQL query on an Excel table?

If you have GDAL/OGR compiled with the against the Expat library, you can use the XLSX driver to read .xlsx files, and run SQL expressions from a command prompt. For example, from a osgeo4w shell in the same directory as the spreadsheet, use the ogrinfo utility:

ogrinfo -dialect sqlite -sql "SELECT name, count(*) FROM sheet1 GROUP BY name" Book1.xlsx

will run a SQLite query on sheet1, and output the query result in an unusual form:

INFO: Open of `Book1.xlsx'
      using driver `XLSX' successful.

Layer name: SELECT

Layer SRS WKT:

OGRFeature(SELECT):0
  name (String) = Red
  count(*) (Integer) = 849

OGRFeature(SELECT):1
  name (String) = Green
  count(*) (Integer) = 265
...

Or run the same query using ogr2ogr to make a simple CSV file:

$ ogr2ogr -f CSV out.csv -dialect sqlite \
          -sql "SELECT name, count(*) FROM sheet1 GROUP BY name" Book1.xlsx

$ cat out.csv
name,count(*)
Red,849
Green,265
...

To do similar with older .xls files, you would need the XLS driver, built against the FreeXL library, which is not really common (e.g. not from OSGeo4w).

Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

If the favicon is a png type image, it'll not work in older versions of Chrome. However it'll work just fine in FireFox. Also, don't forget to clear your browser cache while working on such things. Many a times, code is just fine, but cache is the real culprit.

How to listen for changes to a MongoDB collection?

Since MongoDB 3.6 there will be a new notifications API called Change Streams which you can use for this. See this blog post for an example. Example from it:

cursor = client.my_db.my_collection.changes([
    {'$match': {
        'operationType': {'$in': ['insert', 'replace']}
    }},
    {'$match': {
        'newDocument.n': {'$gte': 1}
    }}
])

# Loops forever.
for change in cursor:
    print(change['newDocument'])

Offline Speech Recognition In Android (JellyBean)

Google did quietly enable offline recognition in that Search update, but there is (as yet) no API or additional parameters available within the SpeechRecognizer class. {See Edit at the bottom of this post} The functionality is available with no additional coding, however the user’s device will need to be configured correctly for it to begin working and this is where the problem lies and I would imagine why a lot of developers assume they are ‘missing something’.

Also, Google have restricted certain Jelly Bean devices from using the offline recognition due to hardware constraints. Which devices this applies to is not documented, in fact, nothing is documented, so configuring the capabilities for the user has proved to be a matter of trial and error (for them). It works for some straight away – For those that it doesn't, this is the ‘guide’ I supply them with.

Make sure the default Android Voice Recogniser is set to Google not Samsung/Vlingo
Uninstall any offline recognition files you already have installed from the Google Voice Search Settings
Go to your Android Application Settings and see if you can uninstall the updates for the Google Search and Google Voice Search applications.
If you can't do the above, go to the Play Store see if you have the option there.
Reboot (if you achieved 2, 3 or 4)
Update Google Search and Google Voice Search from the Play Store (if you achieved 3 or 4 or if an update is available anyway).
Reboot (if you achieved 6)
Install English UK offline language files
Reboot
Use utter! with a connection
Switch to aeroplane mode and give it a try
Once it is working, the offline recognition of other languages, such as English US should start working too.

EDIT: Temporarily changing the device locale to English UK also seems to kickstart this to work for some.

Some users reported they still had to reboot a number of times before it would begin working, but they all get there eventually, often inexplicably to what was the trigger, the key to which are inside the Google Search APK, so not in the public domain or part of AOSP.

From what I can establish, Google tests the availability of a connection prior to deciding whether to use offline or online recognition. If a connection is available initially but is lost prior to the response, Google will supply a connection error, it won’t fall-back to offline. As a side note, if a request for the network synthesised voice has been made, there is no error supplied it if fails – You get silence.

The Google Search update enabled no additional features in Google Now and in fact if you try to use it with no internet connection, it will error. I mention this as I wondered if the ability would be withdrawn as quietly as it appeared and therefore shouldn't be relied upon in production.

If you intend to start using the SpeechRecognizer class, be warned, there is a pretty major bug associated with it, which require your own implementation to handle.

Not being able to specifically request offline = true, makes controlling this feature impossible without manipulating the data connection. Rubbish. You’ll get hundreds of user emails asking you why you haven’t enabled something so simple!

EDIT: Since API level 23 a new parameter has been added EXTRA_PREFER_OFFLINE which the Google recognition service does appear to adhere to.

Hope the above helps.

Switch statement fall-through...should it be allowed?

I'd love a different syntax for fallbacks in switches, something like, errr..

switch(myParam)
{
  case 0 or 1 or 2:
    // Do something;
    break;
  case 3 or 4:
    // Do something else;
    break;
}

Note: This would already be possible with enums, if you declare all cases on your enum using flags, right? It doesn't sound so bad either; the cases could (should?) very well be part of your enum already.

Maybe this would be a nice case (no pun intended) for a fluent interface using extension methods? Something like, errr...

int value = 10;
value.Switch()
  .Case(() => { /* Do something; */ }, new {0, 1, 2})
  .Case(() => { /* Do something else */ } new {3, 4})
  .Default(() => { /* Do the default case; */ });

Although that's probably even less readable :P

How to force a html5 form validation without submitting it via jQuery

To check whether a certain field is valid, use:

$('#myField')[0].checkValidity(); // returns true/false

To check if the form is valid, use:

$('#myForm')[0].checkValidity(); // returns true/false

If you want to display the native error messages that some browsers have (such as Chrome), unfortunately the only way to do that is by submitting the form, like this:

var $myForm = $('#myForm');

if(! $myForm[0].checkValidity()) {
  // If the form is invalid, submit it. The form won't actually submit;
  // this will just cause the browser to display the native HTML5 error messages.
  $myForm.find(':submit').click();
}

Hope this helps. Keep in mind that HTML5 validation is not supported in all browsers.

Solution to "subquery returns more than 1 row" error

You can use in():

select * 
from table
where id in (multiple row query)

or use a join:

select distinct t.* 
from source_of_id_table s
join table t on t.id = s.t_id
where <conditions for source_of_id_table>

The join is never a worse choice for performance, and depending on the exact situation and the database you're using, can give much better performance.

Correlation between two vectors?

For correlations you can just use the corr function (statistics toolbox)

corr(A_1(:), A_2(:))

Note that you can also just use

corr(A_1, A_2)

But the linear indexing guarantees that your vectors don't need to be transposed.

For some reason, the .net aren't able to show the error in the correct line.

Normally this causes a lot of wasted time.

How to hide a div with jQuery?

$('#myDiv').hide(); hide function is used to edit content and show function is used to show again.

For more please click on this link.

Hide all elements with class using plain Javascript

In the absence of jQuery, I would use something like this:

<script>
    var divsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName("classname"); //divsToHide is an array
    for(var i = 0; i < divsToHide.length; i++){
        divsToHide[i].style.visibility = "hidden"; // or
        divsToHide[i].style.display = "none"; // depending on what you're doing
    }
<script>

This is taken from this SO question: Hide div by class id, however seeing that you're asking for "old-school" JS solution, I believe that getElementsByClassName is only supported by modern browsers

How to set div's height in css and html

To write inline styling use:

<div style="height: 100px;">
asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
</div>

Inline styling serves a purpose however, it is not recommended in most situations.

The more "proper" solution, would be to make a separate CSS sheet, include it in your HTML document, and then use either an ID or a class to reference your div.

if you have the file structure:

index.html
>>/css/
>>/css/styles.css

Then in your HTML document between <head> and </head> write:

<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Then, change your div structure to be:

<div id="someidname" class="someclassname">
    asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
</div>

In css, you can reference your div from the ID or the CLASS.

To do so write:

.someclassname { height: 100px; }

#someidname { height: 100px; }

Note that if you do both, the one that comes further down the file structure will be the one that actually works.

For example... If you have:

.someclassname { height: 100px; }

.someclassname { height: 150px; }

Then in this situation the height will be 150px.

EDIT:

To answer your secondary question from your edit, probably need overflow: hidden; or overflow: visible; . You could also do this:

<div class="span12">
    <div style="height:100px;">
        asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
    </div>
</div>

How to append to a file in Node?

My approach is rather special. I basically use the WriteStream solution but without actually 'closing' the fd by using stream.end(). Instead I use cork/uncork. This got the benefit of low RAM usage (if that matters to anyone) and I believe it's more safe to use for logging/recording (my original use case).

Following is a pretty simple example. Notice I just added a pseudo for loop for showcase -- in production code I am waiting for websocket messages.

var stream = fs.createWriteStream("log.txt", {flags:'a'});
for(true) {
  stream.cork();
  stream.write("some content to log");
  process.nextTick(() => stream.uncork());
}

uncork will flush the data to the file in the next tick.

In my scenario there are peaks of up to ~200 writes per second in various sizes. During night time however only a handful writes per minute are needed. The code is working super reliable even during peak times.

How to create a temporary directory?

For a more robust solution i use something like the following. That way the temp dir will always be deleted after the script exits.

The cleanup function is executed on the EXIT signal. That guarantees that the cleanup function is always called, even if the script aborts somewhere.

#!/bin/bash    

# the directory of the script
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

# the temp directory used, within $DIR
# omit the -p parameter to create a temporal directory in the default location
WORK_DIR=`mktemp -d -p "$DIR"`

# check if tmp dir was created
if [[ ! "$WORK_DIR" || ! -d "$WORK_DIR" ]]; then
  echo "Could not create temp dir"
  exit 1
fi

# deletes the temp directory
function cleanup {      
  rm -rf "$WORK_DIR"
  echo "Deleted temp working directory $WORK_DIR"
}

# register the cleanup function to be called on the EXIT signal
trap cleanup EXIT

# implementation of script starts here
...

Log4j: How to configure simplest possible file logging?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">

   <appender name="fileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
      <param name="Threshold" value="INFO" />
      <param name="File" value="sample.log"/>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p  [%c{1}] %m %n" />
      </layout>
   </appender>

  <root> 
    <priority value ="debug" /> 
    <appender-ref ref="fileAppender" /> 
  </root> 

</log4j:configuration>

Log4j can be a bit confusing. So lets try to understand what is going on in this file: In log4j you have two basic constructs appenders and loggers.

Appenders define how and where things are appended. Will it be logged to a file, to the console, to a database, etc.? In this case you are specifying that log statements directed to fileAppender will be put in the file sample.log using the pattern specified in the layout tags. You could just as easily create a appender for the console or the database. Where the console appender would specify things like the layout on the screen and the database appender would have connection details and table names.

Loggers respond to logging events as they bubble up. If an event catches the interest of a specific logger it will invoke its attached appenders. In the example below you have only one logger the root logger - which responds to all logging events by default. In addition to the root logger you can specify more specific loggers that respond to events from specific packages. These loggers can have their own appenders specified using the appender-ref tags or will otherwise inherit the appenders from the root logger. Using more specific loggers allows you to fine tune the logging level on specific packages or to direct certain packages to other appenders.

So what this file is saying is:

Create a fileAppender that logs to file sample.log
Attach that appender to the root logger.
The root logger will respond to any events at least as detailed as 'debug' level
The appender is configured to only log events that are at least as detailed as 'info'

The net out is that if you have a logger.debug("blah blah") in your code it will get ignored. A logger.info("Blah blah"); will output to sample.log.

The snippet below could be added to the file above with the log4j tags. This logger would inherit the appenders from <root> but would limit the all logging events from the package org.springframework to those logged at level info or above.

  <!-- Example Package level Logger -->
    <logger name="org.springframework">
        <level value="info"/>
    </logger>

ObservableCollection Doesn't support AddRange method, so I get notified for each item added, besides what about INotifyCollectionChanging?

I think AddRange is better implemented like so:

public void AddRange(IEnumerable<T> collection)
{
    foreach (var i in collection) Items.Add(i);
    OnCollectionChanged(
        new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset));
}

It saves you a list copy. Also if you want to micro-optimise you could do adds for up to N items and if more than N items where added do a reset.

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element. Expected elements are (none)

In our case we were getting UnmarshalException because a wrong Java package was specified in the following. The issue was resolved once the right package was in place:

@Bean
public Unmarshaller tmsUnmarshaller() {
    final Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
    jaxb2Marshaller
            .setPackagesToScan("java.package.to.generated.java.classes.for.xsd");
    return jaxb2Marshaller;
}

How do I sort a list of datetime or date objects?

You're getting None because list.sort() it operates in-place, meaning that it doesn't return anything, but modifies the list itself. You only need to call a.sort() without assigning it to a again.

There is a built in function sorted(), which returns a sorted version of the list - a = sorted(a) will do what you want as well.

Method with a bool return

Use this code:

public bool roomSelected()
{
    foreach (RadioButton rb in GroupBox1.Controls)
    {
        if (rb.Checked == true)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Value of type 'T' cannot be converted to

Both lines have the same problem

T newT1 = "some text";
T newT2 = (string)t;

The compiler doesn't know that T is a string and so has no way of knowing how to assign that. But since you checked you can just force it with

T newT1 = "some text" as T;
T newT2 = t;

you don't need to cast the t since it's already a string, also need to add the constraint

where T : class

Java naming convention for static final variables

The dialog on this seems to be the antithesis of the conversation on naming interface and abstract classes. I find this alarming, and think that the decision runs much deeper than simply choosing one naming convention and using it always with static final.

Abstract and Interface

When naming interfaces and abstract classes, the accepted convention has evolved into not prefixing or suffixing your abstract class or interface with any identifying information that would indicate it is anything other than a class.

public interface Reader {}
public abstract class FileReader implements Reader {}
public class XmlFileReader extends FileReader {}

The developer is said not to need to know that the above classes are abstract or an interface.

Static Final

My personal preference and belief is that we should follow similar logic when referring to static final variables. Instead, we evaluate its usage when determining how to name it. It seems the all uppercase argument is something that has been somewhat blindly adopted from the C and C++ languages. In my estimation, that is not justification to continue the tradition in Java.

Question of Intention

We should ask ourselves what is the function of static final in our own context. Here are three examples of how static final may be used in different contexts:

public class ChatMessage {
    //Used like a private variable
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(XmlFileReader.class);

    //Used like an Enum
    public class Error {
        public static final int Success = 0;
        public static final int TooLong = 1;
        public static final int IllegalCharacters = 2;
    }

    //Used to define some static, constant, publicly visible property
    public static final int MAX_SIZE = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
}

Could you use all uppercase in all three scenarios? Absolutely, but I think it can be argued that it would detract from the purpose of each. So, let's examine each case individually.

Purpose: Private Variable

In the case of the Logger example above, the logger is declared as private, and will only be used within the class, or possibly an inner class. Even if it were declared at protected ~~or package visibility~~, its usage is the same:

public void send(final String message) {
    logger.info("Sending the following message: '" + message + "'.");
    //Send the message
}

Here, we don't care that logger is a static final member variable. It could simply be a final instance variable. We don't know. We don't need to know. All we need to know is that we are logging the message to the logger that the class instance has provided.

public class ChatMessage {
    private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());
}

You wouldn't name it LOGGER in this scenario, so why should you name it all uppercase if it was static final? Its context, or intention, is the same in both circumstances.

Note: I reversed my position on package visibility because it is more like a form of public access, restricted to package level.

Purpose: Enum

Now you might say, why are you using static final integers as an enum? That is a discussion that is still evolving and I'd even say semi-controversial, so I'll try not to derail this discussion for long by venturing into it. However, it would be suggested that you could implement the following accepted enum pattern:

public enum Error {
    Success(0),
    TooLong(1),
    IllegalCharacters(2);

    private final int value;

    private Error(final int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    public int value() {
        return value;
    }

    public static Error fromValue(final int value) {
        switch (value) {
        case 0:
            return Error.Success;
        case 1:
            return Error.TooLong;
        case 2:
            return Error.IllegalCharacters;
        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown Error value.");
        }
    }
}

There are variations of the above that achieve the same purpose of allowing explicit conversion of an enum->int and int->enum. In the scope of streaming this information over a network, native Java serialization is simply too verbose. A simple int, short, or byte could save tremendous bandwidth. I could delve into a long winded compare and contrast about the pros and cons of enum vs static final int involving type safety, readability, maintainability, etc.; fortunately, that lies outside the scope of this discussion.

The bottom line is this, sometimes static final int will be used as an enum style structure.

If you can bring yourself to accept that the above statement is true, we can follow that up with a discussion of style. When declaring an enum, the accepted style says that we don't do the following:

public enum Error {
    SUCCESS(0),
    TOOLONG(1),
    ILLEGALCHARACTERS(2);
}

Instead, we do the following:

public enum Error {
    Success(0),
    TooLong(1),
    IllegalCharacters(2);
}

If your static final block of integers serves as a loose enum, then why should you use a different naming convention for it? Its context, or intention, is the same in both circumstances.

Purpose: Static, Constant, Public Property

This usage case is perhaps the most cloudy and debatable of all. The static constant size usage example is where this is most often encountered. Java removes the need for sizeof(), but there are times when it is important to know how many bytes a data structure will occupy.

For example, consider you are writing or reading a list of data structures to a binary file, and the format of that binary file requires that the total size of the data chunk be inserted before the actual data. This is common so that a reader knows when the data stops in the scenario that there is more, unrelated, data that follows. Consider the following made up file format:

File Format: MyFormat (MYFM) for example purposes only
[int filetype: MYFM]
[int version: 0] //0 - Version of MyFormat file format
[int dataSize: 325] //The data section occupies the next 325 bytes
[int checksumSize: 400] //The checksum section occupies 400 bytes after the data section (16 bytes each)
[byte[] data]
[byte[] checksum]

This file contains a list of MyObject objects serialized into a byte stream and written to this file. This file has 325 bytes of MyObject objects, but without knowing the size of each MyObject you have no way of knowing which bytes belong to each MyObject. So, you define the size of MyObject on MyObject:

public class MyObject {
    private final long id; //It has a 64bit identifier (+8 bytes)
    private final int value; //It has a 32bit integer value (+4 bytes)
    private final boolean special; //Is it special? (+1 byte)

    public static final int SIZE = 13; //8 + 4 + 1 = 13 bytes
}

The MyObject data structure will occupy 13 bytes when written to the file as defined above. Knowing this, when reading our binary file, we can figure out dynamically how many MyObject objects follow in the file:

int dataSize = buffer.getInt();
int totalObjects = dataSize / MyObject.SIZE;

This seems to be the typical usage case and argument for all uppercase static final constants, and I agree that in this context, all uppercase makes sense. Here's why:

Java doesn't have a struct class like the C language, but a struct is simply a class with all public members and no constructor. It's simply a data structure. So, you can declare a class in struct like fashion:

public class MyFile {
    public static final int MYFM = 0x4D59464D; //'MYFM' another use of all uppercase!

    //The struct
    public static class MyFileHeader {
        public int fileType = MYFM;
        public int version = 0;
        public int dataSize = 0;
        public int checksumSize = 0;
    }
}

Let me preface this example by stating I personally wouldn't parse in this manner. I'd suggest an immutable class instead that handles the parsing internally by accepting a ByteBuffer or all 4 variables as constructor arguments. That said, accessing (setting in this case) this structs members would look something like:

MyFileHeader header = new MyFileHeader();
header.fileType     = buffer.getInt();
header.version      = buffer.getInt();
header.dataSize     = buffer.getInt();
header.checksumSize = buffer.getInt();

These aren't static or final, yet they are publicly exposed members that can be directly set. For this reason, I think that when a static final member is exposed publicly, it makes sense to uppercase it entirely. This is the one time when it is important to distinguish it from public, non-static variables.

Note: Even in this case, if a developer attempted to set a final variable, they would be met with either an IDE or compiler error.

Summary

In conclusion, the convention you choose for static final variables is going to be your preference, but I strongly believe that the context of use should heavily weigh on your design decision. My personal recommendation would be to follow one of the two methodologies:

Methodology 1: Evaluate Context and Intention `[highly subjective; logical]`

If it's a private variable that should be indistinguishable from a private instance variable, then name them the same. all lowercase
If it's intention is to serve as a type of loose enum style block of static values, then name it as you would an enum. pascal case: initial-cap each word
If it's intention is to define some publicly accessible, constant, and static property, then let it stand out by making it all uppercase

Methodology 2: Private vs Public `[objective; logical]`

Methodology 2 basically condenses its context into visibility, and leaves no room for interpretation.

If it's private or protected then it should be all lowercase.
If it's public or package then it should be all uppercase.

Conclusion

This is how I view the naming convention of static final variables. I don't think it is something that can or should be boxed into a single catch all. I believe that you should evaluate its intent before deciding how to name it.

However, the main objective should be to try and stay consistent throughout your project/package's scope. In the end, that is all you have control over.

(I do expect to be met with resistance, but also hope to gather some support from the community on this approach. Whatever your stance, please keep it civil when rebuking, critiquing, or acclaiming this style choice.)

How to send post request with x-www-form-urlencoded body

For HttpEntity, the below answer works

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);

MultiValueMap<String, String> map= new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.add("email", "[email protected]");

HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, String>> request = new HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, String>>(map, headers);

ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.postForEntity( url, request , String.class );

For reference: How to POST form data with Spring RestTemplate?

Send HTTP GET request with header

Here's a code excerpt we're using in our app to set request headers. You'll note we set the CONTENT_TYPE header only on a POST or PUT, but the general method of adding headers (via a request interceptor) is used for GET as well.

/**
 * HTTP request types
 */
public static final int POST_TYPE   = 1;
public static final int GET_TYPE    = 2;
public static final int PUT_TYPE    = 3;
public static final int DELETE_TYPE = 4;

/**
 * HTTP request header constants
 */
public static final String CONTENT_TYPE         = "Content-Type";
public static final String ACCEPT_ENCODING      = "Accept-Encoding";
public static final String CONTENT_ENCODING     = "Content-Encoding";
public static final String ENCODING_GZIP        = "gzip";
public static final String MIME_FORM_ENCODED    = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
public static final String MIME_TEXT_PLAIN      = "text/plain";

private InputStream performRequest(final String contentType, final String url, final String user, final String pass,
    final Map<String, String> headers, final Map<String, String> params, final int requestType) 
            throws IOException {

    DefaultHttpClient client = HTTPClientFactory.newClient();

    client.getParams().setParameter(HttpProtocolParams.USER_AGENT, mUserAgent);

    // add user and pass to client credentials if present
    if ((user != null) && (pass != null)) {
        client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(user, pass));
    }

    // process headers using request interceptor
    final Map<String, String> sendHeaders = new HashMap<String, String>();
    if ((headers != null) && (headers.size() > 0)) {
        sendHeaders.putAll(headers);
    }
    if (requestType == HTTPRequestHelper.POST_TYPE || requestType == HTTPRequestHelper.PUT_TYPE ) {
        sendHeaders.put(HTTPRequestHelper.CONTENT_TYPE, contentType);
    }
    // request gzip encoding for response
    sendHeaders.put(HTTPRequestHelper.ACCEPT_ENCODING, HTTPRequestHelper.ENCODING_GZIP);

    if (sendHeaders.size() > 0) {
        client.addRequestInterceptor(new HttpRequestInterceptor() {

            public void process(final HttpRequest request, final HttpContext context) throws HttpException,
                IOException {
                for (String key : sendHeaders.keySet()) {
                    if (!request.containsHeader(key)) {
                        request.addHeader(key, sendHeaders.get(key));
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    }

android start activity from service

I had the same problem, and want to let you know that none of the above worked for me. What worked for me was:

 Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(this, myActivity.class);
 dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
 this.startActivity(dialogIntent);

and in one my subclasses, stored in a separate file I had to:

public static Service myService;

myService = this;

new SubService(myService);

Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(myService, myActivity.class);
dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
myService.startActivity(dialogIntent);

All the other answers gave me a nullpointerexception.

How do I convert between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in Java?

Here is a function to convert UNICODE (ISO_8859_1) to UTF-8

public static String String_ISO_8859_1To_UTF_8(String strISO_8859_1) {
final StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < strISO_8859_1.length(); i++) {
  final char ch = strISO_8859_1.charAt(i);
  if (ch <= 127) 
  {
      stringBuilder.append(ch);
  }
  else 
  {
      stringBuilder.append(String.format("%02x", (int)ch));
  }
}
String s = stringBuilder.toString();
int len = s.length();
byte[] data = new byte[len / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2) {
    data[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16) << 4)
                         + Character.digit(s.charAt(i+1), 16));
}
String strUTF_8 =new String(data, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
return strUTF_8;
}

TEST

String strA_ISO_8859_1_i = new String("??????".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1);

System.out.println("ISO_8859_1 strA est = "+ strA_ISO_8859_1_i + "\n String_ISO_8859_1To_UTF_8 = " + String_ISO_8859_1To_UTF_8(strA_ISO_8859_1_i));

RESULT

ISO_8859_1 strA est = Ø§ÙØºÙØ§Ù String_ISO_8859_1To_UTF_8 = ??????

What's the best way to generate a UML diagram from Python source code?

Epydoc is a tool to generate API documentation from Python source code. It also generates UML class diagrams, using Graphviz in fancy ways. Here is an example of diagram generated from the source code of Epydoc itself.

Because Epydoc performs both object introspection and source parsing it can gather more informations respect to static code analysers such as Doxygen: it can inspect a fair amount of dynamically generated classes and functions, but can also use comments or unassigned strings as a documentation source, e.g. for variables and class public attributes.

What is HTML5 ARIA?

WAI-ARIA is a spec defining support for accessible web apps. It defines bunch of markup extensions (mostly as attributes on HTML5 elements), which can be used by the web app developer to provide additional information about the semantics of the various elements to assistive technologies like screen readers. Of course, for ARIA to work, the HTTP user agent that interprets the markup needs to support ARIA, but the spec is created in such a way, as to allow down-level user agents to ignore the ARIA-specific markup safely without affecting the web app's functionality.

Here's an example from the ARIA spec:

<ul role="menubar">

  <!-- Rule 2A: "File" label via aria-labelledby -->
  <li role="menuitem" aria-haspopup="true" aria-labelledby="fileLabel"><span id="fileLabel">File</span>
    <ul role="menu">

      <!-- Rule 2C: "New" label via Namefrom:contents -->
      <li role="menuitem" aria-haspopup="false">New</li>
      <li role="menuitem" aria-haspopup="false">Open…</li>
      ...
    </ul>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

Note the role attribute on the outer <ul> element. This attribute does not affect in any way how the markup is rendered on the screen by the browser; however, browsers that support ARIA will add OS-specific accessibility information to the rendered UI element, so that the screen reader can interpret it as a menu and read it aloud with enough context for the end-user to understand (for example, an explicit "menu" audio hint) and is able to interact with it (for example, voice navigation).

SQL Server NOLOCK and joins

I was pretty sure that you need to specify the NOLOCK for each JOIN in the query. But my experience was limited to SQL Server 2005.

When I looked up MSDN just to confirm, I couldn't find anything definite. The below statements do seem to make me think, that for 2008, your two statements above are equivalent though for 2005 it is not the case:

[SQL Server 2008 R2]

All lock hints are propagated to all the tables and views that are accessed by the query plan, including tables and views referenced in a view. Also, SQL Server performs the corresponding lock consistency checks.

[SQL Server 2005]

In SQL Server 2005, all lock hints are propagated to all the tables and views that are referenced in a view. Also, SQL Server performs the corresponding lock consistency checks.

Additionally, point to note - and this applies to both 2005 and 2008:

The table hints are ignored if the table is not accessed by the query plan. This may be caused by the optimizer choosing not to access the table at all, or because an indexed view is accessed instead. In the latter case, accessing an indexed view can be prevented by using the OPTION (EXPAND VIEWS) query hint.

Free Rest API to retrieve current datetime as string (timezone irrelevant)

Excel - Button to go to a certain sheet

Alternately, if you are using a Macro Enabled workbook:

Add any control at all from the Developer -> Insert (Probably a button)

When it asks what Macro to assign, choose New. For the code for the generated module enter something like:

Thisworkbook.Sheets("Sheet Name").Activate

However, if you are not using Macros in your work book. Ooo's approach is definitely surperior as hyperlinks will work with no need to trust the document.

javascript get child by id

This works well:

function test(el){
  el.childNodes.item("child").style.display = "none";
}

If the argument of item() function is an integer, the function will treat it as an index. If the argument is a string, then the function searches for name or ID of element.

VBA setting the formula for a cell

Not sure what isn't working in your case, but the following code will put a formula into cell A1 that will retrieve the value in the cell G2.

strProjectName = "Sheet1"
Cells(1, 1).Formula = "=" & strProjectName & "!" & Cells(2, 7).Address

The workbook and worksheet that strProjectName references must exist at the time that this formula is placed. Excel will immediately try to evaluate the formula. You might be able to stop that from happening by turning off automatic recalculation until the workbook does exist.

What character represents a new line in a text area

By HTML specifications, browsers are required to canonicalize line breaks in user input to CR LF (\r\n), and I don’t think any browser gets this wrong. Reference: clause 17.13.4 Form content types in the HTML 4.01 spec.

In HTML5 drafts, the situation is more complicated, since they also deal with the processes inside a browser, not just the data that gets sent to a server-side form handler when the form is submitted. According to them (and browser practice), the textarea element value exists in three variants:

the raw value as entered by the user, unnormalized; it may contain CR, LF, or CR LF pair;
the internal value, called “API value”, where line breaks are normalized to LF (only);
the submission value, where line breaks are normalized to CR LF pairs, as per Internet conventions.

Default nginx client_max_body_size

You have to increase client_max_body_size in nginx.conf file. This is the basic step. But if your backend laravel then you have to do some changes in the php.ini file as well. It depends on your backend. Below I mentioned file location and condition name.

sudo vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

After open the file adds this into HTTP section.

Oracle date function for the previous month

The trunc() function truncates a date to the specified time period; so trunc(sysdate,'mm') would return the beginning of the current month. You can then use the add_months() function to get the beginning of the previous month, something like this:

select count(distinct switch_id)   
  from [email protected]  
 where dealer_name =  'XXXX'    
   and creation_date >= add_months(trunc(sysdate,'mm'),-1) 
   and creation_date < trunc(sysdate, 'mm')

As a little side not you're not explicitly converting to a date in your original query. Always do this, either using a date literal, e.g. DATE 2012-08-31, or the to_date() function, for example to_date('2012-08-31','YYYY-MM-DD'). If you don't then you are bound to get this wrong at some point.

You would not use sysdate - 15 as this would provide the date 15 days before the current date, which does not seem to be what you are after. It would also include a time component as you are not using trunc().

Just as a little demonstration of what trunc(<date>,'mm') does:

select sysdate
     , case when trunc(sysdate,'mm') > to_date('20120901 00:00:00','yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss')
             then 1 end as gt
     , case when trunc(sysdate,'mm') < to_date('20120901 00:00:00','yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss')
             then 1 end as lt
     , case when trunc(sysdate,'mm') = to_date('20120901 00:00:00','yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss')
             then 1 end as eq
  from dual
       ;

CSS Outside Border

Try the outline property W3Schools - CSS Outline

Outline will not interfere with widths and lenghts of the elements/divs!

Please click the link I provided at the bottom to see working demos of the the different ways you can make borders, and inner/inline borders, even ones that do not disrupt the dimensions of the element! No need to add extra divs every time, as mentioned in another answer!

You can also combine borders with outlines, and if you like, box-shadows (also shown via link)

<head>
   <style type="text/css" ref="stylesheet">
      div {
        width:22px;
        height:22px;
        outline:1px solid black;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<div>
    outlined
</div>

Usually by default, 'border:' puts the border on the outside of the width, measurement, adding to the overall dimensions, unless you use the 'inset' value:

div {border: inset solid 1px black};

But 'outline:' is an extra border outside of the border, and of course still adds extra width/length to the element.

Hope this helps

PS: I also was inspired to make this for you : Using borders, outlines, and box-shadows
