Help regarding how to use gmail as SMTP or any other SMTP can be found at http://www.mittalpatel.co.in/php_send_mail_from_localhost_using_gmail_smtp . Hope this helps!

Java Generate Random Number Between Two Given Values

Java doesn't have a Random generator between two values in the same way that Python does. It actually only takes one value in to generate the Random. What you need to do, then, is add ONE CERTAIN NUMBER to the number generated, which will cause the number to be within a range. For instance:

package RandGen;

import java.util.Random;

public class RandGen {


    public static Random numGen =new Random();

public static int RandNum(){
    int rand = Math.abs((100)+numGen.nextInt(100));

    return rand;
}

public static void main(String[]Args){
   System.out.println(RandNum());
}

}

This program's function lies entirely in line 6 (The one beginning with "int rand...". Note that Math.abs() simply converts the number to absolute value, and it's declared as an int, that's not really important. The first (100) is the number I am ADDING to the random one. This means that the new output number will be the random number + 100. numGen.nextInt() is the value of the random number itself, and because I put (100) in its parentheses, it is any number between 1 and 100. So when I add 100, it becomes a number between 101 and 200. You aren't actually GENERATING a number between 100 and 200, you are adding to the one between 1 and 100.

static const vs #define

If this is a C++ question and it mentions #define as an alternative, then it is about "global" (i.e. file-scope) constants, not about class members. When it comes to such constants in C++ static const is redundant. In C++ const have internal linkage by default and there's no point in declaring them static. So it is really about const vs. #define.

And, finally, in C++ const is preferable. At least because such constants are typed and scoped. There are simply no reasons to prefer #define over const, aside from few exceptions.

String constants, BTW, are one example of such an exception. With #defined string constants one can use compile-time concatenation feature of C/C++ compilers, as in

#define OUT_NAME "output"
#define LOG_EXT ".log"
#define TEXT_EXT ".txt"

const char *const log_file_name = OUT_NAME LOG_EXT;
const char *const text_file_name = OUT_NAME TEXT_EXT;

P.S. Again, just in case, when someone mentions static const as an alternative to #define, it usually means that they are talking about C, not about C++. I wonder whether this question is tagged properly...

How to get a random value from dictionary?

Try this:

import random
a = dict(....) # a is some dictionary
random_key = random.sample(a, 1)[0]

This definitely works.

Place input box at the center of div

The catch is that input elements are inline. We have to make it block (display:block) before positioning it to center : margin : 0 auto. Please see the code below :

<html>
<head>
    <style>
        div.wrapper {
            width: 300px;
            height:300px;
            border:1px solid black;
        }

        input[type="text"] {
             display: block;
             margin : 0 auto;
        }

    </style>
</head>
<body>

    <div class='wrapper'>
        <input type='text' name='ok' value='ok'>
    </div>    


</body>
</html>

But if you have a div which is positioned = absolute then we need to do the things little bit differently.Now see this!

  <html>
     <head>
    <style>
        div.wrapper {
            position:  absolute;
            top : 200px;
            left: 300px;
            width: 300px;
            height:300px;
            border:1px solid black;
        }

        input[type="text"] {
             position: relative;
             display: block;
             margin : 0 auto;
        }

    </style>
</head>
<body>

    <div class='wrapper'>
        <input type='text' name='ok' value='ok'>
    </div>  

</body>
</html>

Hoping this can be helpful.Thank you.

How does "make" app know default target to build if no target is specified?

By default, it begins by processing the first target that does not begin with a . aka the default goal; to do that, it may have to process other targets - specifically, ones the first target depends on.

The GNU Make Manual covers all this stuff, and is a surprisingly easy and informative read.

Getting scroll bar width using JavaScript

this worked for me..

 function getScrollbarWidth() { 
    var div = $('<div style="width:50px;height:50px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;"><div style="height:100px;"></div>'); 
    $('body').append(div); 
    var w1 = $('div', div).innerWidth(); 
    div.css('overflow-y', 'scroll'); 
    var w2 = $('div', div).innerWidth(); 
    $(div).remove(); 
    return (w1 - w2); 
}

Proper way to declare custom exceptions in modern Python?

No, "message" is not forbidden. It's just deprecated. You application will work fine with using message. But you may want to get rid of the deprecation error, of course.

When you create custom Exception classes for your application, many of them do not subclass just from Exception, but from others, like ValueError or similar. Then you have to adapt to their usage of variables.

And if you have many exceptions in your application it's usually a good idea to have a common custom base class for all of them, so that users of your modules can do

try:
    ...
except NelsonsExceptions:
    ...

And in that case you can do the __init__ and __str__ needed there, so you don't have to repeat it for every exception. But simply calling the message variable something else than message does the trick.

In any case, you only need the __init__ or __str__ if you do something different from what Exception itself does. And because if the deprecation, you then need both, or you get an error. That's not a whole lot of extra code you need per class. ;)

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

How to install Visual Studio 2015 on a different drive

Anyone tried this approach?

Doing a dir /s vs_ultimate.exe from the root prompt will find it. Mine was in <C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{[guid]}>. Once I navigated there and ran vs_community_ENU.exe /uninstall /force it uninstalled all the Visual Studio assets I believe.

Got the advice from this post.

Left Join With Where Clause

For this problem, as for many others involving non-trivial left joins such as left-joining on inner-joined tables, I find it convenient and somewhat more readable to split the query with a with clause. In your example,

with settings_for_char as (
  select setting_id, value from character_settings where character_id = 1
)
select
  settings.*,
  settings_for_char.value
from
  settings
  left join settings_for_char on settings_for_char.setting_id = settings.id;

How do I add a auto_increment primary key in SQL Server database?

You can also perform this action via SQL Server Management Studio.

Right click on your selected table -> Modify

Right click on the field you want to set as PK --> Set Primary Key

Under Column Properties set "Identity Specification" to Yes, then specify the starting value and increment value.

Then in the future if you want to be able to just script this kind of thing out you can right click on the table you just modified and select

"SCRIPT TABLE AS" --> CREATE TO

so that you can see for yourself the correct syntax to perform this action.

Java URL encoding of query string parameters

String example = "random word £500 bank $";
String URL = "http://example.com/query?q=" + example.replaceAll(" ","%20");

"unary operator expected" error in Bash if condition

If you know you're always going to use bash, it's much easier to always use the double bracket conditional compound command [[ ... ]], instead of the Posix-compatible single bracket version [ ... ]. Inside a [[ ... ]] compound, word-splitting and pathname expansion are not applied to words, so you can rely on

if [[ $aug1 == "and" ]];

to compare the value of $aug1 with the string and.

If you use [ ... ], you always need to remember to double quote variables like this:

if [ "$aug1" = "and" ];

If you don't quote the variable expansion and the variable is undefined or empty, it vanishes from the scene of the crime, leaving only

if [ = "and" ]; 

which is not a valid syntax. (It would also fail with a different error message if $aug1 included white space or shell metacharacters.)

The modern [[ operator has lots of other nice features, including regular expression matching.

How to get primary key of table?

You should use PRIMARY from key_column_usage.constraint_name = "PRIMARY"

sample query,

SELECT k.column_name as PK, concat(tbl.TABLE_SCHEMA, '.`', tbl.TABLE_NAME, '`') as TABLE_NAME
FROM information_schema.TABLES tbl
JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage k on k.table_name = tbl.table_name
WHERE k.constraint_name='PRIMARY'
  AND tbl.table_schema='MYDB'
  AND tbl.table_type="BASE TABLE";

Why rgb and not cmy?

The difference lies in whether mixing colours results in LIGHTER or DARKER colours. When mixing light, the result is a lighter colour, so mixing red light and blue light becomes a lighter pink. When mixing paint (or ink), red and blue become a darker purple. Mixing paint results in DARKER colours, whereas mixing light results in LIGHTER colours. Therefore for paint the primary colours are Red Yellow Blue (or Cyan Magenta Yellow) as you stated. Yet for light the primary colours are Red Green Blue. It is (virtually) impossible to mix Red Green Blue paint into Yellow paint, or mixing Red Yellow Blue light into Green light.

How to get the height of a body element

How to make CSS width to fill parent?

EDIT:

Those three different elements all have different rendering rules.

So for:

table#bar you need to set the width to 100% otherwise it will be only be as wide as it determines it needs to be. However, if the table rows total width is greater than the width of bar it will expand to its needed width. IF i recall you can counteract this by setting display: block !important; though its been awhile since ive had to fix that. (im sure someone will correct me if im wrong).

textarea#bar i beleive is a block level element so it will follow the rules the same as the div. The only caveat here is that textarea take an attributes of cols and rows which are measured in character columns. If this is specified on the element it will override the width specified by the css.

input#bar is an inline element, so by default you cant assign it width. However the similar to textarea's cols attribute, it has a size attribute on the element that can determine width. That said, you can always specifiy a width by using display: block; in your css for it. Then it will follow the same rendering rules as the div.

td#foo will be rendered as a table-cell which has some craziness to it. Bottom line here is that for your purposes its going to act just like div#foo as far as restricting the width of its contents. The only issue here is going to be potential unwrappable text in the column somewhere which would make it ignore your width setting. Also all cells in the column are going to get the width of the widest cell.


Thats the default behavior of block level element - ie. if width is auto (the default) then it will be 100% of the inner width of the containing element. so in essence:

#foo {width: 800px;}
#bar {padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 2px;}

will give you exactly what you want.

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0

Another option is to update the Microsoft.AspnNet.Mvc NuGet package. Be careful, because NuGet update does not update the Web.Config. You should update all previous version numbers to updated number. For example if you update from asp.net MVC 4.0.0.0 to 5.0.0.0, then this should be replaced in the Web.Config:

Detect change to ngModel on a select tag (Angular 2)

Update:

Separate the event and property bindings:

<select [ngModel]="selectedItem" (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)">
onChange(newValue) {
    console.log(newValue);
    this.selectedItem = newValue;  // don't forget to update the model here
    // ... do other stuff here ...
}

You could also use

<select [(ngModel)]="selectedItem" (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)">

and then you wouldn't have to update the model in the event handler, but I believe this causes two events to fire, so it is probably less efficient.


Old answer, before they fixed a bug in beta.1:

Create a local template variable and attach a (change) event:

<select [(ngModel)]="selectedItem" #item (change)="onChange(item.value)">

How to add border radius on table row

I found that adding border-radius to tables, trs, and tds does not seem to work 100% in the latest versions of Chrome, FF, and IE. What I do instead is, I wrap the table with a div and put the border-radius on it.

<div class="tableWrapper">
  <table>
    <tr><td>Content</td></tr>
  <table>
</div>

.tableWrapper {
  border-radius: 4px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

If your table is not width: 100%, you can make your wrapper float: left, just remember to clear it.

MySQL pivot table query with dynamic columns

The only way in MySQL to do this dynamically is with Prepared statements. Here is a good article about them:

Dynamic pivot tables (transform rows to columns)

Your code would look like this:

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
  GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
    CONCAT(
      'MAX(IF(pa.fieldname = ''',
      fieldname,
      ''', pa.fieldvalue, NULL)) AS ',
      fieldname
    )
  ) INTO @sql
FROM product_additional;

SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT p.id
                    , p.name
                    , p.description, ', @sql, ' 
                   FROM product p
                   LEFT JOIN product_additional AS pa 
                    ON p.id = pa.id
                   GROUP BY p.id');

PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

NOTE: GROUP_CONCAT function has a limit of 1024 characters. See parameter group_concat_max_len

When to use the different log levels

I've built systems before that use the following:

  1. ERROR - means something is seriously wrong and that particular thread/process/sequence can't carry on. Some user/admin intervention is required
  2. WARNING - something is not right, but the process can carry on as before (e.g. one job in a set of 100 has failed, but the remainder can be processed)

In the systems I've built admins were under instruction to react to ERRORs. On the other hand we would watch for WARNINGS and determine for each case whether any system changes, reconfigurations etc. were required.

Get property value from string using reflection

Have a look at the Heleonix.Reflection library. You can get/set/invoke members by paths, or create a getter/setter (lambda compiled into a delegate) which is faster than reflection. For example:

var success = Reflector.Get(DateTime.Now, null, "Date.Year", out int value);

Or create a getter once and cache for reuse (this is more performant but might throw NullReferenceException if an intermediate member is null):

var getter = Reflector.CreateGetter<DateTime, int>("Date.Year", typeof(DateTime));
getter(DateTime.Now);

Or if you want to create a List<Action<object, object>> of different getters, just specify base types for compiled delegates (type conversions will be added into compiled lambdas):

var getter = Reflector.CreateGetter<object, object>("Date.Year", typeof(DateTime));
getter(DateTime.Now);

Hibernate Criteria Join with 3 Tables

The fetch mode only says that the association must be fetched. If you want to add restrictions on an associated entity, you must create an alias, or a subcriteria. I generally prefer using aliases, but YMMV:

Criteria c = session.createCriteria(Dokument.class, "dokument");
c.createAlias("dokument.role", "role"); // inner join by default
c.createAlias("role.contact", "contact");
c.add(Restrictions.eq("contact.lastName", "Test"));
return c.list();

This is of course well explained in the Hibernate reference manual, and the javadoc for Criteria even has examples. Read the documentation: it has plenty of useful information.

The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).

That RFC has been obsoleted by RFC7230 which is a refresh of the HTTP/1.1 specification. It contains similar language, but also goes on to suggest this:

Various ad hoc limitations on request-line length are found in practice. It is RECOMMENDED that all HTTP senders and recipients support, at a minimum, request-line lengths of 8000 octets.

...and the reality

That's what the standards say. For the reality, there was an article on boutell.com (link goes to Internet Archive backup) that discussed what individual browser and server implementations will support. The executive summary is:

Extremely long URLs are usually a mistake. URLs over 2,000 characters will not work in the most popular web browsers. Don't use them if you intend your site to work for the majority of Internet users.

(Note: this is a quote from an article written in 2006, but in 2015 IE's declining usage means that longer URLs do work for the majority. However, IE still has the limitation...)

Internet Explorer's limitations...

IE8's maximum URL length is 2083 chars, and it seems IE9 has a similar limit.

I've tested IE10 and the address bar will only accept 2083 chars. You can click a URL which is longer than this, but the address bar will still only show 2083 characters of this link.

There's a nice writeup on the IE Internals blog which goes into some of the background to this.

There are mixed reports IE11 supports longer URLs - see comments below. Given some people report issues, the general advice still stands.

Search engines like URLs < 2048 chars...

Be aware that the sitemaps protocol, which allows a site to inform search engines about available pages, has a limit of 2048 characters in a URL. If you intend to use sitemaps, a limit has been decided for you! (see Calin-Andrei Burloiu's answer below)

There's also some research from 2010 into the maximum URL length that search engines will crawl and index. They found the limit was 2047 chars, which appears allied to the sitemap protocol spec. However, they also found the Google SERP tool wouldn't cope with URLs longer than 1855 chars.

CDNs have limits

CDNs also impose limits on URI length, and will return a 414 Too long request when these limits are reached, for example:

Additional browser roundup

I tested the following against an Apache 2.4 server configured with a very large LimitRequestLine and LimitRequestFieldSize.

Browser     Address bar   document.location
                          or anchor tag
------------------------------------------
Chrome          32779           >64k
Android          8192           >64k
Firefox          >64k           >64k
Safari           >64k           >64k
IE11             2047           5120
Edge 16          2047          10240

Is this information up to date?

This is a popular question, and as the original research is ~14 years old I'll try to keep it up to date: As of Sep 2020, the advice still stands. Even though IE11 may possibly accept longer URLs, the ubiquity of older IE installations plus the search engine limitations mean staying under 2000 chars is the best general policy.

Getting DOM element value using pure JavaScript

In the second version, you're passing the String returned from this.id. Not the element itself.

So id.value won't give you what you want.

You would need to pass the element with this.

doSomething(this)

then:

function(el){
    var value = el.value;
    ...
}

Note: In some browsers, the second one would work if you did:

window[id].value 

because element IDs are a global property, but this is not safe.

It makes the most sense to just pass the element with this instead of fetching it again with its ID.

SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode?

const is not supported by ECMAScript. So after you specify strict mode, you get syntax error. You need to use var instead of const if you want your code to be compatible with all browsers. I know, not the ideal solution, but it is what it is. There are ways to create read-only properties in JavaScript (see Can Read-Only Properties be Implemented in Pure JavaScript?) but I think it might be overkill depending on your scenario.

Below is browser compatibility note from MDN:

Browser compatibility

The current implementation of const is a Mozilla-specific extension and is not part of ECMAScript 5. It is supported in Firefox & Chrome (V8). As of Safari 5.1.7 and Opera 12.00, if you define a variable with const in these browsers, you can still change its value later. It is not supported in Internet Explorer 6-10, but is included in Internet Explorer 11. The const keyword currently declares the constant in the function scope (like variables declared with var).

Firefox, at least since version 13, throws a TypeError if you redeclare a constant. None of the major browsers produce any notices or errors if you assign another value to a constant. The return value of such an operation is that of the new value assigned, but the reassignment is unsuccessful only in Firefox and Chrome (at least since version 20).

const is going to be defined by ECMAScript 6, but with different semantics. Similar to variables declared with the let statement, constants declared with const will be block-scoped.

How to convert std::string to LPCSTR?

The MultiByteToWideChar answer that Charles Bailey gave is the correct one. Because LPCWSTR is just a typedef for const WCHAR*, widestr in the example code there can be used wherever a LPWSTR is expected or where a LPCWSTR is expected.

One minor tweak would be to use std::vector<WCHAR> instead of a manually managed array:

// using vector, buffer is deallocated when function ends
std::vector<WCHAR> widestr(bufferlen + 1);

::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, instr.c_str(), instr.size(), &widestr[0], bufferlen);

// Ensure wide string is null terminated
widestr[bufferlen] = 0;

// no need to delete; handled by vector

Also, if you need to work with wide strings to start with, you can use std::wstring instead of std::string. If you want to work with the Windows TCHAR type, you can use std::basic_string<TCHAR>. Converting from std::wstring to LPCWSTR or from std::basic_string<TCHAR> to LPCTSTR is just a matter of calling c_str. It's when you're changing between ANSI and UTF-16 characters that MultiByteToWideChar (and its inverse WideCharToMultiByte) comes into the picture.

Using Math.round to round to one decimal place?

Helpful method I created a while ago...

private static double round (double value, int precision) {
    int scale = (int) Math.pow(10, precision);
    return (double) Math.round(value * scale) / scale;
}

Understanding typedefs for function pointers in C

int add(int a, int b)
{
  return (a+b);
}
int minus(int a, int b)
{
  return (a-b);
}

typedef int (*math_func)(int, int); //declaration of function pointer

int main()
{
  math_func addition = add;  //typedef assigns a new variable i.e. "addition" to original function "add"
  math_func substract = minus; //typedef assigns a new variable i.e. "substract" to original function "minus"

  int c = addition(11, 11);   //calling function via new variable
  printf("%d\n",c);
  c = substract(11, 5);   //calling function via new variable
  printf("%d",c);
  return 0;
}

Output of this is :

22

6

Note that, same math_func definer has been used for the declaring both the function.

Same approach of typedef may be used for extern struct.(using sturuct in other file.)

How to add include path in Qt Creator?

If you are using qmake, the standard Qt build system, just add a line to the .pro file as documented in the qmake Variable Reference:

INCLUDEPATH += <your path>

If you are using your own build system, you create a project by selecting "Import of Makefile-based project". This will create some files in your project directory including a file named <your project name>.includes. In that file, simply list the paths you want to include, one per line. Really all this does is tell Qt Creator where to look for files to index for auto completion. Your own build system will have to handle the include paths in its own way.

As explained in the Qt Creator Manual, <your path> must be an absolute path, but you can avoid OS-, host- or user-specific entries in your .pro file by using $$PWD which refers to the folder that contains your .pro file, e.g.

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/code/include

cannot make a static reference to the non-static field

main is a static method. It cannot refer to balance, which is an attribute (non-static variable). balance has meaning only when it is referred through an object reference (such as myAccount.balance or yourAccount.balance). But it doesn't have any meaning when it is referred through class (such as Account.balance (whose balance is that?))

I made some changes to your code so that it compiles.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Account account = new Account(1122, 20000, 4.5);
    account.withdraw(2500);
    account.deposit(3000);

and:

public void withdraw(double withdrawAmount) {
    balance -= withdrawAmount;
}

public void deposit(double depositAmount) {
    balance += depositAmount;
}   

jQuery - Increase the value of a counter when a button is clicked

$(document).ready(function() {
var count = 0;

  $("#update").click(function() {
    count++;
    $("#counter").html("My current count is: "+count);
  }

});

<div id="counter"></div>

Partition Function COUNT() OVER possible using DISTINCT

I think the only way of doing this in SQL-Server 2008R2 is to use a correlated subquery, or an outer apply:

SELECT  datekey,
        COALESCE(RunningTotal, 0) AS RunningTotal,
        COALESCE(RunningCount, 0) AS RunningCount,
        COALESCE(RunningDistinctCount, 0) AS RunningDistinctCount
FROM    document
        OUTER APPLY
        (   SELECT  SUM(Amount) AS RunningTotal,
                    COUNT(1) AS RunningCount,
                    COUNT(DISTINCT d2.dateKey) AS RunningDistinctCount
            FROM    Document d2
            WHERE   d2.DateKey <= document.DateKey
        ) rt;

This can be done in SQL-Server 2012 using the syntax you have suggested:

SELECT  datekey,
        SUM(Amount) OVER(ORDER BY DateKey) AS RunningTotal
FROM    document

However, use of DISTINCT is still not allowed, so if DISTINCT is required and/or if upgrading isn't an option then I think OUTER APPLY is your best option

Entity Framework code-first: migration fails with update-database, forces unneccessary(?) add-migration

I understand this is a very old thread. However, wanted to share how I encountered the message in my scenario and in case it might help others

  1. I created an Add-Migration <Migration_name> on my local machine. Didn't run the update-database yet.
  2. Meanwhile, there were series of commits in parent branch that I must down merge. The merge also had a migration to it and when I fixed conflicts, I ended up having 2 migrations that are added to my project but are not executed via update-database.
  3. Now I don't use enable-migrations -force in my application. Rather my preferred way is execute the update-database -script command to control the target migrations I need.
  4. So, when I attempted the above command, I get the error in question.

My solution was to run update-database -Script -TargetMigration <migration_name_from_merge> and then my update-database -Script -TargetMigration <migration_name> which generated 2 scripts that I was able to run manually on my local db.

Needless to say above experience is on my local machine.

How to update a menu item shown in the ActionBar?

For clarity, I thought that a direct example of grabbing onto a resource can be shown from the following that I think contributes to the response for this question with a quick direct example.

private MenuItem menuItem_;

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menuF) 
{
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_layout, menuF);
    menuItem_ = menuF.findItem(R.id.menu_item_identifier);
    return true;
}

In this case you hold onto a MenuItem reference at the beginning and then change the state of it (for icon state changes for example) at a later given point in time.

How to convert float number to Binary?

x = float(raw_input("enter number between 0 and 1: "))

p = 0
while ((2**p)*x) %1 != 0:
    p += 1
    # print p

    num = int (x * (2 ** p))
    # print num

    result = ''
    if num == 0:
        result = '0'
    while num > 0:
        result = str(num%2) + result
        num = num / 2

    for i in range (p - len(result)):
        result = '0' + result
    result = result[0:-p] + '.' + result[-p:]

print result #this will print result for the decimal portion

How to make child process die after parent exits?

If you send a signal to the pid 0, using for instance

kill(0, 2); /* SIGINT */

that signal is sent to the entire process group, thus effectively killing the child.

You can test it easily with something like:

(cat && kill 0) | python

If you then press ^D, you'll see the text "Terminated" as an indication that the Python interpreter have indeed been killed, instead of just exited because of stdin being closed.

Block direct access to a file over http but allow php script access

If you have access to you httpd.conf file (in ubuntu it is in the /etc/apache2 directory), you should add the same lines that you would to the .htaccess file in the specific directory. That is (for example):

ServerName YOURSERVERNAMEHERE
<Directory /var/www/>
AllowOverride None
order deny,allow
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Do this for every directory that you want to control the information, and you will have one file in one spot to manage all access. It the example above, I did it for the root directory, /var/www.

This option may not be available with outsourced hosting, especially shared hosting. But it is a better option than adding many .htaccess files.

trigger body click with jQuery

Interestingly, when I replaced this:

$("body").trigger("click")

With this:

jQuery("body").trigger("click")

It works!

Javadoc link to method in other class

So the solution to the original problem is that you don't need both the "@see" and the "{@link...}" references on the same line. The "@link" tag is self-sufficient and, as noted, you can put it anywhere in the javadoc block. So you can mix the two approaches:

/**
 * some javadoc stuff
 * {@link com.my.package.Class#method()}
 * more stuff
 * @see com.my.package.AnotherClass
 */

Instagram API - How can I retrieve the list of people a user is following on Instagram

Here's a way to get the list of people a user is following with just a browser and some copy-paste (A pure javascript solution based on Deep Seeker's answer):

  1. Get the user's id (In a browser, navigate to https://www.instagram.com/user_name/?__a=1 and look for response -> graphql -> user -> id [from Deep Seeker's answer])

  2. Open another browser window

  3. Open the browser console and paste this in it

    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    options = {
        userId: your_user_id,
        list: 1 //1 for following, 2 for followers
    }
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    _x000D_

  4. change to your user id and hit enter

  5. paste this in the console and hit enter

    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    `https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?query_hash=c76146de99bb02f6415203be841dd25a&variables=` + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({
            "id": options.userId,
            "include_reel": true,
            "fetch_mutual": true,
            "first": 50
        }))
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    _x000D_

  6. Navigate to the outputted link

(This sets up the headers for the http request. If you try to run the script on a page where this isn't open, it won't work.)

  1. In the console for the page you just opened, paste this and hit enter
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    let config = {
      followers: {
        hash: 'c76146de99bb02f6415203be841dd25a',
        path: 'edge_followed_by'
      },
      following: {
        hash: 'd04b0a864b4b54837c0d870b0e77e076',
        path: 'edge_follow'
      }
    };
    
    var allUsers = [];
    
    function getUsernames(data) {
        var userBatch = data.map(element => element.node.username);
        allUsers.push(...userBatch);
    }
    
    async function makeNextRequest(nextCurser, listConfig) {
        var params = {
            "id": options.userId,
            "include_reel": true,
            "fetch_mutual": true,
            "first": 50
        };
        if (nextCurser) {
            params.after = nextCurser;
        }
        var requestUrl = `https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?query_hash=` + listConfig.hash + `&variables=` + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(params));
    
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.onload = function(e) {
            var res = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
    
            var userData = res.data.user[listConfig.path].edges;
            getUsernames(userData);
    
            var curser = "";
            try {
                curser = res.data.user[listConfig.path].page_info.end_cursor;
            } catch {
    
            }
            var users = [];
            if (curser) {
                makeNextRequest(curser, listConfig);
            } else {
                var printString =""
                allUsers.forEach(item => printString = printString + item + "\n");
                console.log(printString);
            }
        }
    
        xhr.open("GET", requestUrl);
        xhr.send();
    }
    
    if (options.list === 1) {
    
        console.log('following');
        makeNextRequest("", config.following);
    } else if (options.list === 2) {
    
        console.log('followers');
        makeNextRequest("", config.followers);
    }
    _x000D_
    _x000D_
    _x000D_

After a few seconds it should output the list of users your user is following.

jQuery: get parent, parent id?

$(this).parent().parent().attr('id');

Is how you would get the id of the parent's parent.

EDIT:

$(this).closest('ul').attr('id');

Is a more foolproof solution for your case.

JavaScript inside an <img title="<a href='#' onClick='alert('Hello World!')>The Link</a>" /> possible?

When you click on the image you'll get the alert:

<img src="logo1.jpg" onClick='alert("Hello World!")'/>

if this is what you want.

Accessing all items in the JToken

You can cast your JToken to a JObject and then use the Properties() method to get a list of the object properties. From there, you can get the names rather easily.

Something like this:

string json =
@"{
    ""ADDRESS_MAP"":{

        ""ADDRESS_LOCATION"":{
            ""type"":""separator"",
            ""name"":""Address"",
            ""value"":"""",
            ""FieldID"":40
        },
        ""LOCATION"":{
            ""type"":""locations"",
            ""name"":""Location"",
            ""keyword"":{
                ""1"":""LOCATION1""
            },
            ""value"":{
                ""1"":""United States""
            },
            ""FieldID"":41
        },
        ""FLOOR_NUMBER"":{
            ""type"":""number"",
            ""name"":""Floor Number"",
            ""value"":""0"",
            ""FieldID"":55
        },
        ""self"":{
            ""id"":""2"",
            ""name"":""Address Map""
        }
    }
}";

JToken outer = JToken.Parse(json);
JObject inner = outer["ADDRESS_MAP"].Value<JObject>();

List<string> keys = inner.Properties().Select(p => p.Name).ToList();

foreach (string k in keys)
{
    Console.WriteLine(k);
}

Output:

ADDRESS_LOCATION
LOCATION
FLOOR_NUMBER
self

Left padding a String with Zeros

I have used this:

DecimalFormat numFormat = new DecimalFormat("00000");
System.out.println("Code format: "+numFormat.format(123));

Result: 00123

I hope you find it useful!

SQL Server: use CASE with LIKE

One of the first things you need to learn about SQL (and relational databases) is that you shouldn't store multiple values in a single field.

You should create another table and store one value per row.

This will make your querying easier, and your database structure better.

select 
    case when exists (select countryname from itemcountries where yourtable.id=itemcountries.id and countryname = @country) then 'national' else 'regional' end
from yourtable

Form Submit Execute JavaScript Best Practice?

I know it's a little late for this. But I always thought that the best way to create event listeners is directly from JavaScript. Kind of like not applying inline CSS styles.

function validate(){
    //do stuff
}
function init(){
    document.getElementById('form').onsubmit = validate;
}
window.onload = init;

That way you don't have a bunch of event listeners throughout your HTML.

GlobalConfiguration.Configure() not present after Web API 2 and .NET 4.5.1 migration

Finding local IP addresses using Python's stdlib

Ok so this is Windows specific, and requires the installation of the python WMI module, but it seems much less hackish than constantly trying to call an external server. It's just another option, as there are already many good ones, but it might be a good fit for your project.

Import WMI

def getlocalip():
    local = wmi.WMI()
    for interface in local.Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration(IPEnabled=1):
        for ip_address in interface.IPAddress:
            if ip_address != '0.0.0.0':
                localip = ip_address
    return localip







>>>getlocalip()
u'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
>>>

By the way, WMI is very powerful... if you are doing any remote admin of window machines you should definitely check out what it can do.

Div table-cell vertical align not working

Because you still using float...

try to remove "float" and wrap it with display:table

CSS Background image not loading

try this

background-image: url("/yourimagefolder/yourimage.jpg"); 

I had the same problem when I used background-image: url("yourimagefolder/yourimage.jpg");

Notice the slash that made the difference. The level of the folder was the reason why I could not load the image. I guess you also encountered the same issue

Python Finding Prime Factors

Ok. So you said you understand the basics, but you're not sure EXACTLY how it works. First of all, this is a great answer to the Project Euler question it stems from. I've done a lot of research into this problem and this is by far the simplest response.

For the purpose of explanation, I'll let n = 20. To run the real Project Euler problem, let n = 600851475143.

n = 20 
i = 2

while i * i < n:
    while n%i == 0:
        n = n / i
    i = i + 1

print (n)

This explanation uses two while loops. The biggest thing to remember about while loops is that they run until they are no longer true.

The outer loop states that while i * i isn't greater than n (because the largest prime factor will never be larger than the square root of n), add 1 to i after the inner loop runs.

The inner loop states that while i divides evenly into n, replace n with n divided by i. This loop runs continuously until it is no longer true. For n=20 and i=2, n is replaced by 10, then again by 5. Because 2 doesn't evenly divide into 5, the loop stops with n=5 and the outer loop finishes, producing i+1=3.

Finally, because 3 squared is greater than 5, the outer loop is no longer true and prints the result of n.

Thanks for posting this. I looked at the code forever before realizing how exactly it worked. Hopefully, this is what you're looking for in a response. If not, let me know and I can explain further.

Conditionally displaying JSF components

Yes, use the rendered attribute.

<h:form rendered="#{some boolean condition}">

You usually tie it to the model rather than letting the model grab the component and manipulate it.

E.g.

<h:form rendered="#{bean.booleanValue}" />
<h:form rendered="#{bean.intValue gt 10}" />
<h:form rendered="#{bean.objectValue eq null}" />
<h:form rendered="#{bean.stringValue ne 'someValue'}" />
<h:form rendered="#{not empty bean.collectionValue}" />
<h:form rendered="#{not bean.booleanValue and bean.intValue ne 0}" />
<h:form rendered="#{bean.enumValue eq 'ONE' or bean.enumValue eq 'TWO'}" />

Note the importance of keyword based EL operators such as gt, ge, le and lt instead of >, >=, <= and < as angle brackets < and > are reserved characters in XML. See also this related Q&A: Error parsing XHTML: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

As to your specific use case, let's assume that the link is passing a parameter like below:

<a href="page.xhtml?form=1">link</a>

You can then show the form as below:

<h:form rendered="#{param.form eq '1'}">

(the #{param} is an implicit EL object referring to a Map representing the request parameters)

Rendering HTML in a WebView with custom CSS

I assume that your style-sheet "style.css" is already located in the assets-folder

  1. load the web-page with jsoup:

    doc = Jsoup.connect("http://....").get();
    
  2. remove links to external style-sheets:

    // remove links to external style-sheets
    doc.head().getElementsByTag("link").remove();
    
  3. set link to local style-sheet:

    // set link to local stylesheet
    // <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
    doc.head().appendElement("link").attr("rel", "stylesheet").attr("type", "text/css").attr("href", "style.css");
    
  4. make string from jsoup-doc/web-page:

    String htmldata = doc.outerHtml();
    
  5. display web-page in webview:

    WebView webview = new WebView(this);
    setContentView(webview);
    webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/.", htmlData, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

    List<String> list = Arrays.asList(text.split(" "));

    Set<String> uniqueWords = new HashSet<String>(list);
    for (String word : uniqueWords) {
        System.out.println(word + ": " + Collections.frequency(list, word));
    }
}

Hadoop/Hive : Loading data from .csv on a local machine

There is another way of enabling this,

  1. use hadoop hdfs -copyFromLocal to copy the .csv data file from your local computer to somewhere in HDFS, say '/path/filename'

  2. enter Hive console, run the following script to load from the file to make it as a Hive table. Note that '\054' is the ascii code of 'comma' in octal number, representing fields delimiter.


CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE table name (foo INT, bar STRING)
 COMMENT 'from csv file'
 ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\054'

How to split a comma separated string and process in a loop using JavaScript

My two cents, adding trim to remove the initial whitespaces left in sAc's answer.

var str = 'Hello, World, etc';
var str_array = str.split(',');

for(var i = 0; i < str_array.length; i++) {
   // Trim the excess whitespace.
   str_array[i] = str_array[i].replace(/^\s*/, "").replace(/\s*$/, "");
   // Add additional code here, such as:
   alert(str_array[i]);
}

Edit:

After getting several upvotes on this answer, I wanted to revisit this. If you want to split on comma, and perform a trim operation, you can do it in one method call without any explicit loops due to the fact that split will also take a regular expression as an argument:

'Hello, cruel , world!'.split(/\s*,\s*/);
//-> ["Hello", "cruel", "world!"]

This solution, however, will not trim the beginning of the first item and the end of the last item which is typically not an issue.

And so to answer the question in regards to process in a loop, if your target browsers support ES5 array extras such as the map or forEach methods, then you could just simply do the following:

myStringWithCommas.split(/\s*,\s*/).forEach(function(myString) {
    console.log(myString);
});

Return multiple values in JavaScript?

Few Days ago i had the similar requirement of getting multiple return values from a function that i created.

From many return values , i needed it to return only specific value for a given condition and then other return value corresponding to other condition.


Here is the Example of how i did that :

Function:

function myTodayDate(){
    var today = new Date();
    var day = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
    var month = ["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"];
    var myTodayObj = 
    {
        myDate : today.getDate(),
        myDay : day[today.getDay()],
        myMonth : month[today.getMonth()],
        year : today.getFullYear()
    }
    return myTodayObj;
}

Getting Required return value from object returned by function :

var todayDate = myTodayDate().myDate;
var todayDay = myTodayDate().myDay;
var todayMonth = myTodayDate().myMonth;
var todayYear = myTodayDate().year;

The whole point of answering this question is to share this approach of getting Date in good format. Hope it helped you :)

Is there a Visual Basic 6 decompiler?

For the final, compiled code of your application, the short answer is “no”. Different tools are able to extract different information from the code (e.g. the forms setups) and there are P code decompilers (see Edgar's excellent link for such tools). However, up to this day, there is no decompiler for native code. I'm not aware of anything similar for other high-level languages either.

How to retrieve a module's path?

I'd like to contribute with one common scenario (in Python 3) and explore a few approaches to it.

The built-in function open() accepts either relative or absolute path as its first argument. The relative path is treated as relative to the current working directory though so it is recommended to pass the absolute path to the file.

Simply said, if you run a script file with the following code, it is not guaranteed that the example.txt file will be created in the same directory where the script file is located:

with open('example.txt', 'w'):
    pass

To fix this code we need to get the path to the script and make it absolute. To ensure the path to be absolute we simply use the os.path.realpath() function. To get the path to the script there are several common functions that return various path results:

  • os.getcwd()
  • os.path.realpath('example.txt')
  • sys.argv[0]
  • __file__

Both functions os.getcwd() and os.path.realpath() return path results based on the current working directory. Generally not what we want. The first element of the sys.argv list is the path of the root script (the script you run) regardless of whether you call the list in the root script itself or in any of its modules. It might come handy in some situations. The __file__ variable contains path of the module from which it has been called.


The following code correctly creates a file example.txt in the same directory where the script is located:

filedir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
filepath = os.path.join(filedir, 'example.txt')

with open(filepath, 'w'):
    pass

Passing an integer by reference in Python

A numpy single-element array is mutable and yet for most purposes, it can be evaluated as if it was a numerical python variable. Therefore, it's a more convenient by-reference number container than a single-element list.

    import numpy as np
    def triple_var_by_ref(x):
        x[0]=x[0]*3
    a=np.array([2])
    triple_var_by_ref(a)
    print(a+1)

output:

3

jQuery.ajax handling continue responses: "success:" vs ".done"?

From JQuery Documentation

The jqXHR objects returned by $.ajax() as of jQuery 1.5 implement the Promise interface, giving them all the properties, methods, and behavior of a Promise (see Deferred object for more information). These methods take one or more function arguments that are called when the $.ajax() request terminates. This allows you to assign multiple callbacks on a single request, and even to assign callbacks after the request may have completed. (If the request is already complete, the callback is fired immediately.) Available Promise methods of the jqXHR object include:

jqXHR.done(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {});

An alternative construct to the success callback option, refer to deferred.done() for implementation details.

jqXHR.fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {});

An alternative construct to the error callback option, the .fail() method replaces the deprecated .error() method. Refer to deferred.fail() for implementation details.

jqXHR.always(function( data|jqXHR, textStatus, jqXHR|errorThrown ) { }); 

(added in jQuery 1.6) An alternative construct to the complete callback option, the .always() method replaces the deprecated .complete() method.

In response to a successful request, the function's arguments are the same as those of .done(): data, textStatus, and the jqXHR object. For failed requests the arguments are the same as those of .fail(): the jqXHR object, textStatus, and errorThrown. Refer to deferred.always() for implementation details.

jqXHR.then(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {}, function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {});

Incorporates the functionality of the .done() and .fail() methods, allowing (as of jQuery 1.8) the underlying Promise to be manipulated. Refer to deferred.then() for implementation details.

Deprecation Notice: The jqXHR.success(), jqXHR.error(), and jqXHR.complete() callbacks are removed as of jQuery 3.0. You can use jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail(), and jqXHR.always() instead.

How to change the height of a div dynamically based on another div using css?

The simplest way to get equal height columns, without the ugly side effects that come along with absolute positioning, is to use the display: table properties:

.div1 {
  width:300px;
  height: auto;
  background-color: grey;  
  border:1px solid;
  display: table;
}

.div2, .div3 {
  display: table-cell;
}
.div2 {
  width:150px;
  height:auto;
  background-color: #F4A460;  

}
.div3 {
  width:150px;
  height:auto;
  background-color: #FFFFE0;  
}

http://jsfiddle.net/E4Zgj/21/


Now, if your goal is to have .div2 so that it is only as tall as it needs to be to contain its content while .div3 is at least as tall as .div2 but still able to expand if its content makes it taller than .div2, then you need to use flexbox. Flexbox support isn't quite there yet (IE10, Opera, Chrome. Firefox follows an old spec, but is following the current spec soon).

.div1 {
  width:300px;
  height: auto;
  background-color: grey;  
  border:1px solid;
  display: flex;
  align-items: flex-start;
}

.div2 {
  width:150px;
  background-color: #F4A460;
}

.div3 {
  width:150px;
  background-color: #FFFFE0;
  align-self: stretch;
}

How to combine GROUP BY and ROW_NUMBER?

Undoubtly this can be simplified but the results match your expectations.

The gist of this is to

  • Calculate the maximum price in a seperate CTE for each t2ID
  • Calculate the total price in a seperate CTE for each t2ID
  • Combine the results of both CTE's

SQL Statement

;WITH MaxPrice AS ( 
    SELECT  t2ID
            , t1ID
    FROM    (       
                SELECT  t2.ID AS t2ID
                        , t1.ID AS t1ID
                        , rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t2.ID ORDER BY t1.Price DESC)
                FROM    @t1 t1
                        INNER JOIN @relation r ON r.t1ID = t1.ID        
                        INNER JOIN @t2 t2 ON t2.ID = r.t2ID
            ) maxt1
    WHERE   maxt1.rn = 1                            
)
, SumPrice AS (
    SELECT  t2ID = t2.ID
            , Price = SUM(Price)
    FROM    @t1 t1
            INNER JOIN @relation r ON r.t1ID = t1.ID
            INNER JOIN @t2 t2 ON t2.ID = r.t2ID
    GROUP BY
            t2.ID           
)           
SELECT  t2.ID
        , t2.Name
        , t2.Orders
        , mp.t1ID
        , t1.ID

SELECT INTO Variable in MySQL DECLARE causes syntax error?

These answers don't cover very well MULTIPLE variables.

Doing the inline assignment in a stored procedure causes those results to ALSO be sent back in the resultset. That can be confusing. To using the SELECT...INTO syntax with multiple variables you do:

SELECT a, b INTO @a, @b FROM mytable LIMIT 1;

The SELECT must return only 1 row, hence LIMIT 1, although that isn't always necessary.

PHP Array to JSON Array using json_encode();

A common use of JSON is to read data from a web server, and display the data in a web page.

This chapter will teach you how to exchange JSON data between the client and a PHP server.

PHP has some built-in functions to handle JSON.

Objects in PHP can be converted into JSON by using the PHP function json_encode():

_x000D_
_x000D_
<?php_x000D_
$myObj->name = "John";_x000D_
$myObj->age = 30;_x000D_
$myObj->city = "New York";_x000D_
_x000D_
$myJSON = json_encode($myObj);_x000D_
_x000D_
echo $myJSON;_x000D_
?>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Switch android x86 screen resolution

To change the Android-x86 screen resolution on VirtualBox you need to:

  1. Add custom screen resolution:
    Android <6.0:

    VBoxManage setextradata "VM_NAME_HERE" "CustomVideoMode1" "320x480x16"
    

    Android >=6.0:

    VBoxManage setextradata "VM_NAME_HERE" "CustomVideoMode1" "320x480x32"
    
  2. Figure out what is the ‘hex’-value for your VideoMode:
    2.1. Start the VM
    2.2. In GRUB menu enter a (Android >=6.0: e)
    2.3. In the next screen append vga=ask and press Enter
    2.4. Find your resolution and write down/remember the 'hex'-value for Mode column

  3. Translate the value to decimal notation (for example 360 hex is 864 in decimal).

  4. Go to menu.lst and modify it:
    4.1. From the GRUB menu select Debug Mode
    4.2. Input the following:

    mount -o remount,rw /mnt  
    cd /mnt/grub  
    vi menu.lst
    

    4.3. Add vga=864 (if your ‘hex’-value is 360). Now it should look like this:

    kernel /android-2.3-RC1/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot_hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode DPI=160 UVESA_MODE=320x480 SRC=/android-2.3-RC1 SDCARD=/data/sdcard.img vga=864

    4.4. Save it:

    :wq
    
  5. Unmount and reboot:

    cd /
    umount /mnt
    reboot -f
    

Hope this helps.

What does "export default" do in JSX?

Export like export default HelloWorld; and import, such as import React from 'react' are part of the ES6 modules system.

A module is a self contained unit that can expose assets to other modules using export, and acquire assets from other modules using import.

In your code:

import React from 'react'; // get the React object from the react module

class HelloWorld extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <p>Hello, world!</p>;
  }
}

export default HelloWorld; // expose the HelloWorld component to other modules

In ES6 there are two kinds of exports:

Named exports - for example export function func() {} is a named export with the name of func. Named modules can be imported using import { exportName } from 'module';. In this case, the name of the import should be the same as the name of the export. To import the func in the example, you'll have to use import { func } from 'module';. There can be multiple named exports in one module.

Default export - is the value that will be imported from the module, if you use the simple import statement import X from 'module'. X is the name that will be given locally to the variable assigned to contain the value, and it doesn't have to be named like the origin export. There can be only one default export.

A module can contain both named exports and a default export, and they can be imported together using import defaultExport, { namedExport1, namedExport3, etc... } from 'module';.

How can I share Jupyter notebooks with non-programmers?

Michael's suggestion of running your own nbviewer instance is a good one I used in the past with an Enterprise Github server.

Another lightweight alternative is to have a cell at the end of your notebook that does a shell call to nbconvert so that it's automatically refreshed after running the whole thing:

!ipython nbconvert <notebook name>.ipynb --to html

EDIT: With Jupyter/IPython's Big Split, you'll probably want to change this to !jupyter nbconvert <notebook name>.ipynb --to html now.

Angular 5 Scroll to top on every Route click

Although @Vega provides the direct answer to your question, there are issues. It breaks the browser's back/forward button. If you're user clicks the browser back or forward button, they lose their place and gets scrolled way at the top. This can be a bit of a pain for your users if they had to scroll way down to get to a link and decided to click back only to find the scrollbar had been reset to the top.

Here's my solution to the problem.

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  isPopState = false;

  constructor(private router: Router, private locStrat: LocationStrategy) { }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.locStrat.onPopState(() => {
      this.isPopState = true;
    });

    this.router.events.subscribe(event => {
      // Scroll to top if accessing a page, not via browser history stack
      if (event instanceof NavigationEnd && !this.isPopState) {
        window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        this.isPopState = false;
      }

      // Ensures that isPopState is reset
      if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
        this.isPopState = false;
      }
    });
  }
}

Tried to Load Angular More Than Once

I was having the exact same error. After some hours, I noticed that there was an extra comma in my .JSON file, on the very last key-value pair.

//doesn't work
{
    "key":"value",
    "key":"value",
    "key":"value",
}

Then I just took it off (the last ',') and that solved the problem.

//works
{
    "key":"value",
    "key":"value",
    "key":"value"
}

Formatting ISODate from Mongodb

JavaScript's Date object supports the ISO date format, so as long as you have access to the date string, you can do something like this:

> foo = new Date("2012-07-14T01:00:00+01:00")
Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT
> foo.toTimeString()
'17:00:00 GMT-0700 (MST)'

If you want the time string without the seconds and the time zone then you can call the getHours() and getMinutes() methods on the Date object and format the time yourself.

Java converting Image to BufferedImage

If you use Kotlin, you can add an extension method to Image in the same manner Sri Harsha Chilakapati suggests.

fun Image.toBufferedImage(): BufferedImage {
    if (this is BufferedImage) {
        return this
    }
    val bufferedImage = BufferedImage(this.getWidth(null), this.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB)

    val graphics2D = bufferedImage.createGraphics()
    graphics2D.drawImage(this, 0, 0, null)
    graphics2D.dispose()

    return bufferedImage
}

And use it like this:

myImage.toBufferedImage()

jQuery Validate Required Select

How can I determine whether a 2D Point is within a Polygon?

Here is golang version of @nirg answer (inspired by C# code by @@m-katz)

func isPointInPolygon(polygon []point, testp point) bool {
    minX := polygon[0].X
    maxX := polygon[0].X
    minY := polygon[0].Y
    maxY := polygon[0].Y

    for _, p := range polygon {
        minX = min(p.X, minX)
        maxX = max(p.X, maxX)
        minY = min(p.Y, minY)
        maxY = max(p.Y, maxY)
    }

    if testp.X < minX || testp.X > maxX || testp.Y < minY || testp.Y > maxY {
        return false
    }

    inside := false
    j := len(polygon) - 1
    for i := 0; i < len(polygon); i++ {
        if (polygon[i].Y > testp.Y) != (polygon[j].Y > testp.Y) && testp.X < (polygon[j].X-polygon[i].X)*(testp.Y-polygon[i].Y)/(polygon[j].Y-polygon[i].Y)+polygon[i].X {
            inside = !inside
        }
        j = i
    }

    return inside
}

MsgBox "" vs MsgBox() in VBScript

You have to distinct sub routines and functions in vba... Generally (as far as I know), sub routines do not return anything and the surrounding parantheses are optional. For functions, you need to write the parantheses.

As for your example, MsgBox is not a function but a sub routine and therefore the parantheses are optional in that case. One exception with functions is, when you do not assign the returned value, or when the function does not consume a parameter, you can leave away the parantheses too.

This answer goes into a bit more detail, but basically you should be on the save side, when you provide parantheses for functions and leave them away for sub routines.

How to use curl to get a GET request exactly same as using Chrome?

Check the HTTP headers that chrome is sending with the request (Using browser extension or proxy) then try sending the same headers with CURL - Possibly one at a time till you figure out which header(s) makes the request work.

curl -A [user-agent] -H [headers] "http://something.com/api"

Save PHP array to MySQL?

Just use the serialize PHP function:

<?php
$myArray = array('1', '2');
$seralizedArray = serialize($myArray);
?>

However, if you are using simple arrays like that you might as well use implode and explode.Use a blank array instead of new.

How do I return a string from a regex match in python?

Considering there might be several img tags I would recommend re.findall:

import re

with open("sample.txt", 'r') as f_in, open('writetest.txt', 'w') as f_out:
    for line in f_in:
        for img in re.findall('<img[^>]+>', line):
            print >> f_out, "yo it's a {}".format(img)

How to continue the code on the next line in VBA

If you want to insert this formula =SUMIFS(B2:B10,A2:A10,F2) into cell G2, here is how I did it.

Range("G2")="=sumifs(B2:B10,A2:A10," & _

"F2)"

To split a line of code, add an ampersand, space and underscore.

Best XML Parser for PHP

the crxml parser is a real easy to parser.

This class has got a search function, which takes a node name with any namespace as an argument. It searches the xml for the node and prints out the access statement to access that node using this class. This class also makes xml generation very easy.

you can download this class at

http://freshmeat.net/projects/crxml

or from phpclasses.org

http://www.phpclasses.org/package/6769-PHP-Manipulate-XML-documents-as-array.html

PHP str_replace replace spaces with underscores

For one matched character replace, use str_replace:

$string = str_replace(' ', '_', $string);

For all matched character replace, use preg_replace:

$string = preg_replace('/\s+/', '_', $string);

Alternative to header("Content-type: text/xml");

Now I see what you are doing. You cannot send output to the screen then change the headers. If you are trying to create an XML file of map marker and download them to display, they should be in separate files.

Take this

<?php
require("database.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';
?>

and place it in phpsqlajax_genxml.php so your javascript can download the XML file. You are trying to do too many things in the same file.

How to find out the MySQL root password

thanks to @thusharaK I could reset the root password without knowing the old password.

On ubuntu I did the following:

sudo service mysql stop
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-syslog --skip-networking

Then run mysql in a new terminal:

mysql -u root

And run the following queries to change the password:

UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

In MySQL 5.7, the password field in mysql.user table field was removed, now the field name is 'authentication_string'.

Quit the mysql safe mode and start mysql service by:

mysqladmin shutdown
sudo service mysql start

How can I do an UPDATE statement with JOIN in SQL Server?

Syntax strictly depends on which SQL DBMS you're using. Here are some ways to do it in ANSI/ISO (aka should work on any SQL DBMS), MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. Be advised that my suggested ANSI/ISO method will typically be much slower than the other two methods, but if you're using a SQL DBMS other than MySQL, SQL Server, or Oracle, then it may be the only way to go (e.g. if your SQL DBMS doesn't support MERGE):

ANSI/ISO:

update ud 
     set assid = (
          select sale.assid 
          from sale 
          where sale.udid = ud.id
     )
 where exists (
      select * 
      from sale 
      where sale.udid = ud.id
 );

MySQL:

update ud u
inner join sale s on
    u.id = s.udid
set u.assid = s.assid

SQL Server:

update u
set u.assid = s.assid
from ud u
    inner join sale s on
        u.id = s.udid

PostgreSQL:

update ud
  set assid = s.assid
from sale s 
where ud.id = s.udid;

Note that the target table must not be repeated in the FROM clause for Postgres.

Oracle:

update
    (select
        u.assid as new_assid,
        s.assid as old_assid
    from ud u
        inner join sale s on
            u.id = s.udid) up
set up.new_assid = up.old_assid

SQLite:

update ud 
     set assid = (
          select sale.assid 
          from sale 
          where sale.udid = ud.id
     )
 where RowID in (
      select RowID 
      from ud 
      where sale.udid = ud.id
 );

How to suppress Pandas Future warning ?

Warnings are annoying. As mentioned in other answers, you can suppress them using:

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action='ignore', category=FutureWarning)

But if you want to handle them one by one and you are managing a bigger codebase, it will be difficult to find the line of code which is causing the warning. Since warnings unlike errors don't come with code traceback. In order to trace warnings like errors, you can write this at the top of the code:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("error")

But if the codebase is bigger and it is importing bunch of other libraries/packages, then all sort of warnings will start to be raised as errors. In order to raise only certain type of warnings (in your case, its FutureWarning) as error, you can write:

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action='error', category=FutureWarning)

ArrayList: how does the size increase?

What happens is a new Array is created with n*2 spaces, then all items in the old array are copied over and the new item is inserted in the first free space. All in all, this results in O(N) add time for the ArrayList.

If you're using Eclipse, install Jad and Jadclipse to decompile the JARs held in the library. I did this to read the original source code.

Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

I used convert -resize 16x16 img.png favicon.ico (on linux konsole) to convert my image, and add <link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/png" sizes="16x16"> to my header and everything work perfect.

check null,empty or undefined angularjs

You can also do a simple check using function,

$scope.isNullOrEmptyOrUndefined = function (value) {
    return !value;
}

SQL Server Group By Month

If you need to do this frequently, I would probably add a computed column PaymentMonth to the table:

ALTER TABLE dbo.Payments ADD PaymentMonth AS MONTH(PaymentDate) PERSISTED

It's persisted and stored in the table - so there's really no performance overhead querying it. It's a 4 byte INT value - so the space overhead is minimal, too.

Once you have that, you could simplify your query to be something along the lines of:

SELECT ItemID, IsPaid,
(SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM Payments WHERE Year = 2010 And PaymentMonth = 1 AND UserID = 100) AS 'Jan',
(SELECT SUM(Amount) FROM Payments WHERE Year = 2010 And PaymentMonth = 2 AND UserID = 100) AS 'Feb',
.... and so on .....
FROM LIVE L 
INNER JOIN Payments I ON I.LiveID = L.RECORD_KEY 
WHERE UserID = 16178 

PHP import Excel into database (xls & xlsx)

If you can convert .xls to .csv before processing, you can use the query below to import the csv to the database:

load data local infile 'FILE.CSV' into table TABLENAME fields terminated by ',' enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '\n' (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3)

How to declare Global Variables in Excel VBA to be visible across the Workbook

Your question is: are these not modules capable of declaring variables at global scope?

Answer: YES, they are "capable"

The only point is that references to global variables in ThisWorkbook or a Sheet module have to be fully qualified (i.e., referred to as ThisWorkbook.Global1, e.g.) References to global variables in a standard module have to be fully qualified only in case of ambiguity (e.g., if there is more than one standard module defining a variable with name Global1, and you mean to use it in a third module).

For instance, place in Sheet1 code

Public glob_sh1 As String

Sub test_sh1()
    Debug.Print (glob_mod)
    Debug.Print (ThisWorkbook.glob_this)
    Debug.Print (Sheet1.glob_sh1)
End Sub

place in ThisWorkbook code

Public glob_this As String

Sub test_this()
    Debug.Print (glob_mod)
    Debug.Print (ThisWorkbook.glob_this)
    Debug.Print (Sheet1.glob_sh1)
End Sub

and in a Standard Module code

Public glob_mod As String

Sub test_mod()
    glob_mod = "glob_mod"
    ThisWorkbook.glob_this = "glob_this"
    Sheet1.glob_sh1 = "glob_sh1"
    Debug.Print (glob_mod)
    Debug.Print (ThisWorkbook.glob_this)
    Debug.Print (Sheet1.glob_sh1)
End Sub

All three subs work fine.

PS1: This answer is based essentially on info from here. It is much worth reading (from the great Chip Pearson).

PS2: Your line Debug.Print ("Hello") will give you the compile error Invalid outside procedure.

PS3: You could (partly) check your code with Debug -> Compile VBAProject in the VB editor. All compile errors will pop.

PS4: Check also Put Excel-VBA code in module or sheet?.

PS5: You might be not able to declare a global variable in, say, Sheet1, and use it in code from other workbook (reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg264241%28v=office.15%29.aspx#sectionSection0; I did not test this point, so this issue is yet to be confirmed as such). But you do not mean to do that in your example, anyway.

PS6: There are several cases that lead to ambiguity in case of not fully qualifying global variables. You may tinker a little to find them. They are compile errors.

Initializing C dynamic arrays

You cannot use the syntax you have suggested. If you have a C99 compiler, though, you can do this:

int *p;

p = malloc(3 * sizeof p[0]);
memcpy(p, (int []){ 0, 1, 2 }, 3 * sizeof p[0]);

If your compiler does not support C99 compound literals, you need to use a named template to copy from:

int *p;

p = malloc(3 * sizeof p[0]);
{
    static const int p_init[] = { 0, 1, 2 };
    memcpy(p, p_init, 3 * sizeof p[0]);
}

PHP cURL HTTP PUT

You have mixed 2 standard.

The error is in $header = "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary='123456f'";

The function http_build_query($filedata) is only for "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", or none.

How do you stop tracking a remote branch in Git?

git branch --unset-upstream stops tracking all the local branches, which is not desirable.

Remove the [branch "branch-name"] section from the .git/config file followed by

git branch -D 'branch-name' && git branch -D -r 'origin/branch-name'

works out the best for me.

Python progression path - From apprentice to guru

I recommend starting with something that forces you to explore the expressive power of the syntax. Python allows many different ways of writing the same functionality, but there is often a single most elegant and fastest approach. If you're used to the idioms of other languages, you might never otherwise find or accept these better ways. I spent a weekend trudging through the first 20 or so Project Euler problems and made a simple webapp with Django on Google App Engine. This will only take you from apprentice to novice, maybe, but you can then continue to making somewhat more advanced webapps and solve more advanced Project Euler problems. After a few months I went back and solved the first 20 PE problems from scratch in an hour instead of a weekend.

What's the point of the X-Requested-With header?

Make sure you read SilverlightFox's answer. It highlights a more important reason.

The reason is mostly that if you know the source of a request you may want to customize it a little bit.

For instance lets say you have a website which has many recipes. And you use a custom jQuery framework to slide recipes into a container based on a link they click. The link may be www.example.com/recipe/apple_pie

Now normally that returns a full page, header, footer, recipe content and ads. But if someone is browsing your website some of those parts are already loaded. So you can use an AJAX to get the recipe the user has selected but to save time and bandwidth don't load the header/footer/ads.

Now you can just write a secondary endpoint for the data like www.example.com/recipe_only/apple_pie but that's harder to maintain and share to other people.

But it's easier to just detect that it is an ajax request making the request and then returning only a part of the data. That way the user wastes less bandwidth and the site appears more responsive.

The frameworks just add the header because some may find it useful to keep track of which requests are ajax and which are not. But it's entirely dependent on the developer to use such techniques.

It's actually kind of similar to the Accept-Language header. A browser can request a website please show me a Russian version of this website without having to insert /ru/ or similar in the URL.

Check if number is prime number

Here's a nice way of doing that.

    static bool IsPrime(int n)
    {
        if (n > 1)
        {
            return Enumerable.Range(1, n).Where(x => n%x == 0)
                             .SequenceEqual(new[] {1, n});
        }

        return false;
    }

And a quick way of writing your program will be:

        for (;;)
        {
            Console.Write("Accept number: ");
            int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            if (IsPrime(n))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is a prime number",n);
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is not a prime number",n);
            }
        }

Can I get the name of the currently running function in JavaScript?

How can I use ":" as an AWK field separator?

If you want to do it programatically, you can use the FS variable:

echo "1: " | awk 'BEGIN { FS=":" } /1/ { print $1 }'

Note that if you change it in the main loop rather than the BEGIN loop, it takes affect for the next line read in, since the current line has already been split.

Laravel Request getting current path with query string

C# using Sendkey function to send a key to another application

If notepad is already started, you should write:

// import the function in your class
[DllImport ("User32.dll")]
static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

//...

Process p = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad").FirstOrDefault();
if (p != null)
{
    IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
    SetForegroundWindow(h);
    SendKeys.SendWait("k");
}

GetProcessesByName returns an array of processes, so you should get the first one (or find the one you want).

If you want to start notepad and send the key, you should write:

Process p = Process.Start("notepad.exe");
p.WaitForInputIdle();
IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
SetForegroundWindow(h);
SendKeys.SendWait("k");

The only situation in which the code may not work is when notepad is started as Administrator and your application is not.

Return HTML from ASP.NET Web API

ASP.NET Core. Approach 1

If your Controller extends ControllerBase or Controller you can use Content(...) method:

[HttpGet]
public ContentResult Index() 
{
    return base.Content("<div>Hello</div>", "text/html");
}

ASP.NET Core. Approach 2

If you choose not to extend from Controller classes, you can create new ContentResult:

[HttpGet]
public ContentResult Index() 
{
    return new ContentResult 
    {
        ContentType = "text/html",
        Content = "<div>Hello World</div>"
    };
}

Legacy ASP.NET MVC Web API

Return string content with media type text/html:

    response.Content = new StringContent("<div>Hello World</div>");
    response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html");
    return response;
}

How can I remove all files in my git repo and update/push from my local git repo?

Yes, if you do a git rm <filename> and commit & push those changes. The file will disappear from the repository for that changeset and future commits.

The file will still be available for the previous revisions.

What is the best way to remove accents (normalize) in a Python unicode string?

How about this:

import unicodedata
def strip_accents(s):
   return ''.join(c for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFD', s)
                  if unicodedata.category(c) != 'Mn')

This works on greek letters, too:

>>> strip_accents(u"A \u00c0 \u0394 \u038E")
u'A A \u0394 \u03a5'
>>> 

The character category "Mn" stands for Nonspacing_Mark, which is similar to unicodedata.combining in MiniQuark's answer (I didn't think of unicodedata.combining, but it is probably the better solution, because it's more explicit).

And keep in mind, these manipulations may significantly alter the meaning of the text. Accents, Umlauts etc. are not "decoration".

There are two pair of modal events, one is "show" and "shown", the other is "hide" and "hidden". As you can see from the name, hide event fires when modal is about the be close, such as clicking on the cross on the top-right corner or close button or so on. While hidden is fired after the modal is actually close. You can test these events your self. For exampel:

$( '#modal' )
   .on('hide', function() {
       console.log('hide');
   })
   .on('hidden', function(){
       console.log('hidden');
   })
   .on('show', function() {
       console.log('show');
   })
   .on('shown', function(){
      console.log('shown' )
   });

And, as for your question, I think you should listen to the 'hide' event of your modal.

Flask Python Buttons

In case anyone was still looking and came across this SO post like I did.

<input type="submit" name="open" value="Open">
<input type="submit" name="close" value="Close">

def contact():
    if "open" in request.form:
        pass
    elif "close" in request.form:
        pass
    return render_template('contact.html')

Simple, concise, and it works. Don't even need to instantiate a form object.

How do I enable index downloads in Eclipse for Maven dependency search?

Tick 'Full Index Enabled' and then 'Rebuild Index' of the central repository in 'Global Repositories' under Window > Show View > Other > Maven > Maven Repositories, and it should work.

The rebuilding may take a long time depending on the speed of your internet connection, but eventually it works.

How to print number with commas as thousands separators?

this is baked into python per PEP -> https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0378/

just use format(1000, ',d') to show an integer with thousands separator

there are more formats described in the PEP, have at it

CSS '>' selector; what is it?

It is a Child Selector.

It matches when an element is the child of some element. It is made up of two or more selectors separated by ">".

Example(s):

The following rule sets the style of all P elements that are children of BODY:

body > P { line-height: 1.3 }

Example(s):

The following example combines descendant selectors and child selectors:

div ol>li p

It matches a P element that is a descendant of an LI; the LI element must be the child of an OL element; the OL element must be a descendant of a DIV. Notice that the optional white space around the ">" combinator has been left out.

Convert double to string

Try c.ToString("F6");

(For a full explanation of numeric formatting, see MSDN)

Shortcut to create properties in Visual Studio?

You could type "prop" and then press tab twice. That will generate the following.

public TYPE Type { get; set; }

Then you change "TYPE" and "Type":

public string myString {get; set;}

You can also get the full property typing "propfull" and then tab twice. That would generate the field and the full property.

private int myVar;

public int MyProperty
{
    get { return myVar;}
    set { myVar = value;}
}

jQuery count child elements

fastest one:

$("div#selected ul li").length

Remove all whitespace in a string

' hello  \n\tapple'.translate({ord(c):None for c in ' \n\t\r'})

MaK already pointed out the "translate" method above. And this variation works with Python 3 (see this Q&A).

Tuple unpacking in for loops

You could google on "tuple unpacking". This can be used in various places in Python. The simplest is in assignment

>>> x = (1,2)
>>> a, b = x
>>> a
1
>>> b
2

In a for loop it works similarly. If each element of the iterable is a tuple, then you can specify two variables and each element in the loop will be unpacked to the two.

>>> x = [(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)]
>>> for item in x:
...     print "A tuple", item
A tuple (1, 2)
A tuple (3, 4)
A tuple (5, 6)
>>> for a, b in x:
...     print "First", a, "then", b
First 1 then 2
First 3 then 4
First 5 then 6

The enumerate function creates an iterable of tuples, so it can be used this way.

Using unset vs. setting a variable to empty

Based on the comments above, here is a simple test:

isunset() { [[ "${!1}" != 'x' ]] && [[ "${!1-x}" == 'x' ]] && echo 1; }
isset()   { [ -z "$(isunset "$1")" ] && echo 1; }

Example:

$ unset foo; [[ $(isunset foo) ]] && echo "It's unset" || echo "It's set"
It's unset
$ foo=     ; [[ $(isunset foo) ]] && echo "It's unset" || echo "It's set"
It's set
$ foo=bar  ; [[ $(isunset foo) ]] && echo "It's unset" || echo "It's set"
It's set

Implement a simple factory pattern with Spring 3 annotations

Following answer of DruidKuma

Litte refactor of his factory with autowired constructor:

@Service
public class MyServiceFactory {

    private static final Map<String, MyService> myServiceCache = new HashMap<>();

    @Autowired
    private MyServiceFactory(List<MyService> services) {
        for(MyService service : services) {
            myServiceCache.put(service.getType(), service);
        }
    }

    public static MyService getService(String type) {
        MyService service = myServiceCache.get(type);
        if(service == null) throw new RuntimeException("Unknown service type: " + type);
        return service;
    }
}

Sort a list of numerical strings in ascending order

The recommended approach in this case is to sort the data in the database, adding an ORDER BY at the end of the query that fetches the results, something like this:

SELECT temperature FROM temperatures ORDER BY temperature ASC;  -- ascending order
SELECT temperature FROM temperatures ORDER BY temperature DESC; -- descending order

If for some reason that is not an option, you can change the sorting order like this in Python:

templist = [25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 33]
sorted(templist, key=int)               # ascending order
> [25, 33, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300]
sorted(templist, key=int, reverse=True) # descending order
> [300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50, 33, 25]

As has been pointed in the comments, the int key (or float if values with decimals are being stored) is required for correctly sorting the data if the data received is of type string, but it'd be very strange to store temperature values as strings, if that is the case, go back and fix the problem at the root, and make sure that the temperatures being stored are numbers.

Adding custom radio buttons in android

I realize this is a belated answer, but looking through developer.android.com, it seems that the Toggle button would be ideal for your situation.

Toggle button image http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/togglebutton.html

And of course you can still use the other suggestions for having a background drawable to get a custom look you want.

<ToggleButton 
    android:id="@+id/togglebutton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/custom_button_background"
    android:textOn="On"
    android:textOff="Off"
    />

Now if you want to go with your final edit and have a "halo" effect around your buttons, you can use another custom selector to do just that.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_selected="true" > <!-- selected -->
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="@android:color/white" />
            <stroke
                android:width="3px"
                android:color="@android:color/holo_blue_bright" />
            <corners
                android:radius="5dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item> <!-- default -->
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="@android:color/white" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1px"
                android:color="@android:color/darker_gray" />
            <corners
                android:radius="5dp" />
        </shape>
    </item> 
</selector>

What is the best way to use a HashMap in C++?

Here's a more complete and flexible example that doesn't omit necessary includes to generate compilation errors:

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>

class Hashtable {
    std::unordered_map<const void *, const void *> htmap;

public:
    void put(const void *key, const void *value) {
            htmap[key] = value;
    }

    const void *get(const void *key) {
            return htmap[key];
    }

};

int main() {
    Hashtable ht;
    ht.put("Bob", "Dylan");
    int one = 1;
    ht.put("one", &one);
    std::cout << (char *)ht.get("Bob") << "; " << *(int *)ht.get("one");
}

Still not particularly useful for keys, unless they are predefined as pointers, because a matching value won't do! (However, since I normally use strings for keys, substituting "string" for "const void *" in the declaration of the key should resolve this problem.)

Angular 2 TypeScript how to find element in Array

Assume I have below array:

Skins[
    {Id: 1, Name: "oily skin"}, 
    {Id: 2, Name: "dry skin"}
];

If we want to get item with Id = 1 and Name = "oily skin", We'll try as below:

var skinName = skins.find(x=>x.Id == "1").Name;

The result will return the skinName is "Oily skin".

Compare two MySQL databases

If you only need to compare schemas (not data), and have access to Perl, mysqldiff might work. I've used it because it lets you compare local databases to remote databases (via SSH), so you don't need to bother dumping any data.

http://adamspiers.org/computing/mysqldiff/

It will attempt to generate SQL queries to synchronize two databases, but I don't trust it (or any tool, actually). As far as I know, there's no 100% reliable way to reverse-engineer the changes needed to convert one database schema to another, especially when multiple changes have been made.

For example, if you change only a column's type, an automated tool can easily guess how to recreate that. But if you also move the column, rename it, and add or remove other columns, the best any software package can do is guess at what probably happened. And you may end up losing data.

I'd suggest keeping track of any schema changes you make to the development server, then running those statements by hand on the live server (or rolling them into an upgrade script or migration). It's more tedious, but it'll keep your data safe. And by the time you start allowing end users access to your site, are you really going to be making constant heavy database changes?

Is there an R function for finding the index of an element in a vector?

A small note about the efficiency of abovementioned methods:

 library(microbenchmark)

  microbenchmark(
    which("Feb" == month.abb)[[1]],
    which(month.abb %in% "Feb"))

  Unit: nanoseconds
   min     lq    mean median     uq  max neval
   891  979.0 1098.00   1031 1135.5 3693   100
   1052 1175.5 1339.74   1235 1390.0 7399  100

So, the best one is

    which("Feb" == month.abb)[[1]]

The static keyword and its various uses in C++

In order to clarify the question, I would rather categorize the usage of 'static' keyword in three different forms:

(A). variables

(B). functions

(C). member variables/functions of classes

the explanation follows below for each of the sub headings:

(A) 'static' keyword for variables

This one can be little tricky however if explained and understood properly, it's pretty straightforward.

To explain this, first it is really useful to know about the scope, duration and linkage of variables, without which things are always difficult to see through the murky concept of staic keyword

1. Scope : Determines where in the file, the variable is accessible. It can be of two types: (i) Local or Block Scope. (ii) Global Scope

2. Duration : Determines when a variable is created and destroyed. Again it's of two types: (i) Automatic Storage Duration (for variables having Local or Block scope). (ii) Static Storage Duration (for variables having Global Scope or local variables (in a function or a in a code block) with static specifier).

3. Linkage: Determines whether a variable can be accessed (or linked ) in another file. Again ( and luckily) it is of two types: (i) Internal Linkage (for variables having Block Scope and Global Scope/File Scope/Global Namespace scope) (ii) External Linkage (for variables having only for Global Scope/File Scope/Global Namespace Scope)

Let's refer an example below for better understanding of plain global and local variables (no local variables with static storage duration) :

//main file
#include <iostream>

int global_var1; //has global scope
const global_var2(1.618); //has global scope

int main()
{
//these variables are local to the block main.
//they have automatic duration, i.e, they are created when the main() is 
//  executed and destroyed, when main goes out of scope
 int local_var1(23);
 const double local_var2(3.14);

 {
/* this is yet another block, all variables declared within this block are 
 have local scope limited within this block. */
// all variables declared within this block too have automatic duration, i.e, 
/*they are created at the point of definition within this block,
 and destroyed as soon as this block ends */
   char block_char1;
   int local_var1(32) //NOTE: this has been re-declared within the block, 
//it shadows the local_var1 declared outside

 std::cout << local_var1 <<"\n"; //prints 32

  }//end of block
  //local_var1 declared inside goes out of scope

 std::cout << local_var1 << "\n"; //prints 23

 global_var1 = 29; //global_var1 has been declared outside main (global scope)
 std::cout << global_var1 << "\n"; //prints 29
 std::cout << global_var2 << "\n"; //prints 1.618

 return 0;
}  //local_var1, local_var2 go out of scope as main ends
//global_var1, global_var2 go out of scope as the program terminates 
//(in this case program ends with end of main, so both local and global
//variable go out of scope together

Now comes the concept of Linkage. When a global variable defined in one file is intended to be used in another file, the linkage of the variable plays an important role.

The Linkage of global variables is specified by the keywords: (i) static , and, (ii) extern

( Now you get the explanation )

static keyword can be applied to variables with local and global scope, and in both the cases, they mean different things. I will first explain the usage of 'static' keyword in variables with global scope ( where I also clarify the usage of keyword 'extern') and later the for those with local scope.

1. Static Keyword for variables with global scope

Global variables have static duration, meaning they don't go out of scope when a particular block of code (for e.g main() ) in which it is used ends . Depending upon the linkage, they can be either accessed only within the same file where they are declared (for static global variable), or outside the file even outside the file in which they are declared (extern type global variables)

In the case of a global variable having extern specifier, and if this variable is being accessed outside the file in which it has been initialized, it has to be forward declared in the file where it's being used, just like a function has to be forward declared if it's definition is in a file different from where it's being used.

In contrast, if the global variable has static keyword, it cannot be used in a file outside of which it has been declared.

(see example below for clarification)

eg:

//main2.cpp
 static int global_var3 = 23;  /*static global variable, cannot be                            
                                accessed in anyother file */
 extern double global_var4 = 71; /*can be accessed outside this file                  linked to main2.cpp */
 int main() { return 0; }

main3.cpp

//main3.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   extern int gloabl_var4; /*this variable refers to the gloabal_var4
                            defined in the main2.cpp file */
  std::cout << global_var4 << "\n"; //prints 71;

  return 0;
}

now any variable in c++ can be either a const or a non-const and for each 'const-ness' we get two case of default c++ linkage, in case none is specified:

(i) If a global variable is non-const, its linkage is extern by default, i.e, the non-const global variable can be accessed in another .cpp file by forward declaration using the extern keyword (in other words, non const global variables have external linkage ( with static duration of course)). Also usage of extern keyword in the original file where it has been defined is redundant. In this case to make a non-const global variable inaccessible to external file, use the specifier 'static' before the type of the variable.

(ii) If a global variable is const, its linkage is static by default, i.e a const global variable cannot be accessed in a file other than where it is defined, (in other words, const global variables have internal linkage (with static duration of course)). Also usage of static keyword to prevent a const global variable from being accessed in another file is redundant. Here, to make a const global variable have an external linkage, use the specifier 'extern' before the type of the variable

Here's a summary for global scope variables with various linkages

//globalVariables1.cpp 

// defining uninitialized vairbles
int globalVar1; //  uninitialized global variable with external linkage 
static int globalVar2; // uninitialized global variable with internal linkage
const int globalVar3; // error, since const variables must be initialized upon declaration
const int globalVar4 = 23; //correct, but with static linkage (cannot be accessed outside the file where it has been declared*/
extern const double globalVar5 = 1.57; //this const variable ca be accessed outside the file where it has been declared

Next we investigate how the above global variables behave when accessed in a different file.

//using_globalVariables1.cpp (eg for the usage of global variables above)

// Forward declaration via extern keyword:
 extern int globalVar1; // correct since globalVar1 is not a const or static
 extern int globalVar2; //incorrect since globalVar2 has internal linkage
 extern const int globalVar4; /* incorrect since globalVar4 has no extern 
                         specifier, limited to internal linkage by
                         default (static specifier for const variables) */
 extern const double globalVar5; /*correct since in the previous file, it 
                           has extern specifier, no need to initialize the
                       const variable here, since it has already been
                       legitimately defined perviously */

2. Static Keyword for variables with Local Scope

Updates (August 2019) on static keyword for variables in local scope

This further can be subdivided in two categories :

(i) static keyword for variables within a function block, and (ii) static keyword for variables within a unnamed local block.

(i) static keyword for variables within a function block.

Earlier, I mentioned that variables with local scope have automatic duration, i.e they come to exist when the block is entered ( be it a normal block, be it a function block) and cease to exist when the block ends, long story short, variables with local scope have automatic duration and automatic duration variables (and objects) have no linkage meaning they are not visible outside the code block.

If static specifier is applied to a local variable within a function block, it changes the duration of the variable from automatic to static and its life time is the entire duration of the program which means it has a fixed memory location and its value is initialized only once prior to program start up as mentioned in cpp reference(initialization should not be confused with assignment)

lets take a look at an example.

//localVarDemo1.cpp    
 int localNextID()
{
  int tempID = 1;  //tempID created here
  return tempID++; //copy of tempID returned and tempID incremented to 2
} //tempID destroyed here, hence value of tempID lost

int newNextID()
{
  static int newID = 0;//newID has static duration, with internal linkage
  return newID++; //copy of newID returned and newID incremented by 1
}  //newID doesn't get destroyed here :-)


int main()
{
  int employeeID1 = localNextID();  //employeeID1 = 1
  int employeeID2 = localNextID();  // employeeID2 = 1 again (not desired)
  int employeeID3 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 0;
  int employeeID4 = newNextID(); //employeeID4 = 1;
  int employeeID5 = newNextID(); //employeeID5 = 2;
  return 0;
}

Looking at the above criterion for static local variables and static global variables, one might be tempted to ask, what the difference between them could be. While global variables are accessible at any point in within the code (in same as well as different translation unit depending upon the const-ness and extern-ness), a static variable defined within a function block is not directly accessible. The variable has to be returned by the function value or reference. Lets demonstrate this by an example:

//localVarDemo2.cpp 

//static storage duration with global scope 
//note this variable can be accessed from outside the file
//in a different compilation unit by using `extern` specifier
//which might not be desirable for certain use case.
static int globalId = 0;

int newNextID()
{
  static int newID = 0;//newID has static duration, with internal linkage
  return newID++; //copy of newID returned and newID incremented by 1
}  //newID doesn't get destroyed here


int main()
{
    //since globalId is accessible we use it directly
  const int globalEmployee1Id = globalId++; //globalEmployeeId1 = 0;
  const int globalEmployee2Id = globalId++; //globalEmployeeId1 = 1;

  //const int employeeID1 = newID++; //this will lead to compilation error since newID++ is not accessible direcly. 
  int employeeID2 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 0;
  int employeeID2 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 1;

  return 0;
}

More explaination about choice of static global and static local variable could be found on this stackoverflow thread

(ii) static keyword for variables within a unnamed local block.

static variables within a local block (not a function block) cannot be accessed outside the block once the local block goes out of scope. No caveats to this rule.

    //localVarDemo3.cpp 
    int main()
    {

      {
          const static int static_local_scoped_variable {99};
      }//static_local_scoped_variable goes out of scope

      //the line below causes compilation error
      //do_something is an arbitrary function
      do_something(static_local_scoped_variable);
      return 0;
    }

C++11 introduced the keyword constexpr which guarantees the evaluation of an expression at compile time and allows compiler to optimize the code. Now if the value of a static const variable within a scope is known at compile time, the code is optimized in a manner similar to the one with constexpr. Here's a small example

I recommend readers also to look up the difference between constexprand static const for variables in this stackoverflow thread. this concludes my explanation for the static keyword applied to variables.

B. 'static' keyword used for functions

in terms of functions, the static keyword has a straightforward meaning. Here, it refers to linkage of the function Normally all functions declared within a cpp file have external linkage by default, i.e a function defined in one file can be used in another cpp file by forward declaration.

using a static keyword before the function declaration limits its linkage to internal , i.e a static function cannot be used within a file outside of its definition.

C. Staitc Keyword used for member variables and functions of classes

1. 'static' keyword for member variables of classes

I start directly with an example here

#include <iostream>

class DesignNumber
{
  private:

      static int m_designNum;  //design number
      int m_iteration;     // number of iterations performed for the design

  public:
    DesignNumber() {     }  //default constructor

   int  getItrNum() //get the iteration number of design
   {
      m_iteration = m_designNum++;
      return m_iteration;
   }
     static int m_anyNumber;  //public static variable
};
int DesignNumber::m_designNum = 0; // starting with design id = 0
                     // note : no need of static keyword here
                     //causes compiler error if static keyword used
int DesignNumber::m_anyNumber = 99; /* initialization of inclass public 
                                    static member  */
enter code here

int main()
{
   DesignNumber firstDesign, secondDesign, thirdDesign;
   std::cout << firstDesign.getItrNum() << "\n";  //prints 0
   std::cout << secondDesign.getItrNum() << "\n"; //prints 1
   std::cout << thirdDesign.getItrNum() << "\n";  //prints 2

   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n";  /* no object
                                        associated with m_anyNumber */
   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n"; //prints 100
   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n"; //prints 101

   return 0;
}

In this example, the static variable m_designNum retains its value and this single private member variable (because it's static) is shared b/w all the variables of the object type DesignNumber

Also like other member variables, static member variables of a class are not associated with any class object, which is demonstrated by the printing of anyNumber in the main function

const vs non-const static member variables in class

(i) non-const class static member variables In the previous example the static members (both public and private) were non constants. ISO standard forbids non-const static members to be initialized in the class. Hence as in previous example, they must be initalized after the class definition, with the caveat that the static keyword needs to be omitted

(ii) const-static member variables of class this is straightforward and goes with the convention of other const member variable initialization, i.e the const static member variables of a class can be initialized at the point of declaration and they can be initialized at the end of the class declaration with one caveat that the keyword const needs to be added to the static member when being initialized after the class definition.

I would however, recommend to initialize the const static member variables at the point of declaration. This goes with the standard C++ convention and makes the code look cleaner

for more examples on static member variables in a class look up the following link from learncpp.com http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/811-static-member-variables/

2. 'static' keyword for member function of classes

Just like member variables of classes can ,be static, so can member functions of classes. Normal member functions of classes are always associated with a object of the class type. In contrast, static member functions of a class are not associated with any object of the class, i.e they have no *this pointer.

Secondly since the static member functions of the class have no *this pointer, they can be called using the class name and scope resolution operator in the main function (ClassName::functionName(); )

Thirdly static member functions of a class can only access static member variables of a class, since non-static member variables of a class must belong to a class object.

for more examples on static member functions in a class look up the following link from learncpp.com

curl error 18 - transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining

The error string is quite simply exactly what libcurl sees: since it is receiving a chunked encoding stream it knows when there is data left in a chunk to receive. When the connection is closed, libcurl knows that the last received chunk was incomplete. Then you get this error code.

There's nothing you can do to avoid this error with the request unmodified, but you can try to work around it by issuing a HTTP 1.0 request instead (since chunked encoding won't happen then) but the fact is that this is most likely a flaw in the server or in your network/setup somehow.

What is the difference between cache and persist?

Cache() and persist() both the methods are used to improve performance of spark computation. These methods help to save intermediate results so they can be reused in subsequent stages.

The only difference between cache() and persist() is ,using Cache technique we can save intermediate results in memory only when needed while in Persist() we can save the intermediate results in 5 storage levels(MEMORY_ONLY, MEMORY_AND_DISK, MEMORY_ONLY_SER, MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER, DISK_ONLY).

Histogram using gnuplot?

Do you want to plot a graph like this one? enter image description here yes? Then you can have a look at my blog article: http://gnuplot-surprising.blogspot.com/2011/09/statistic-analysis-and-histogram.html

Key lines from the code:

n=100 #number of intervals
max=3. #max value
min=-3. #min value
width=(max-min)/n #interval width
#function used to map a value to the intervals
hist(x,width)=width*floor(x/width)+width/2.0
set boxwidth width*0.9
set style fill solid 0.5 # fill style

#count and plot
plot "data.dat" u (hist($1,width)):(1.0) smooth freq w boxes lc rgb"green" notitle

display Java.util.Date in a specific format

If you want to simply output a date, just use the following:

System.out.printf("Date: %1$te/%1$tm/%1$tY at %1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS%n", new Date());

As seen here. Or if you want to get the value into a String (for SQL building, for example) you can use:

String formattedDate = String.format("%1$te/%1$tm/%1$tY", new Date());

You can also customize your output by following the Java API on Date/Time conversions.

select records from postgres where timestamp is in certain range

SELECT * 
FROM reservations 
WHERE arrival >= '2012-01-01'
AND arrival < '2013-01-01'
   ;

BTW if the distribution of values indicates that an index scan will not be the worth (for example if all the values are in 2012), the optimiser could still choose a full table scan. YMMV. Explain is your friend.

How to pass table value parameters to stored procedure from .net code

The cleanest way to work with it. Assuming your table is a list of integers called "dbo.tvp_Int" (Customize for your own table type)

Create this extension method...

public static void AddWithValue_Tvp_Int(this SqlParameterCollection paramCollection, string parameterName, List<int> data)
{
   if(paramCollection != null)
   {
       var p = paramCollection.Add(parameterName, SqlDbType.Structured);
       p.TypeName = "dbo.tvp_Int";
       DataTable _dt = new DataTable() {Columns = {"Value"}};
       data.ForEach(value => _dt.Rows.Add(value));
       p.Value = _dt;
   }
}

Now you can add a table valued parameter in one line anywhere simply by doing this:

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValueFor_Tvp_Int("@IDValues", listOfIds);

What do these operators mean (** , ^ , %, //)?

  • **: exponentiation
  • ^: exclusive-or (bitwise)
  • %: modulus
  • //: divide with integral result (discard remainder)

How can I create keystore from an existing certificate (abc.crt) and abc.key files?

If the keystore is for tomcat then, after creating the keystore with the above answers, you must add a final step to create the "tomcat" alias for the key:

keytool -changealias -alias "1" -destalias "tomcat" -keystore keystore-file.jks

You can check the result with:

keytool -list -keystore keystore-file.jks -v

Display two fields side by side in a Bootstrap Form

@KyleMit answer is one way to solve this, however we may chose to avoid the undivided input fields acheived by input-group class. A better way to do this is by using form-group and row classes on a parent div and use input elements with grid-system classes provided by bootstrap.

<div class="form-group row">
    <input class="form-control col-md-6" type="text">
    <input class="form-control col-md-6" type="text">
</div>

Autoresize View When SubViews are Added

Yes, it is because you are using auto layout. Setting the view frame and resizing mask will not work.

You should read Working with Auto Layout Programmatically and Visual Format Language.

You will need to get the current constraints, add the text field, adjust the contraints for the text field, then add the correct constraints on the text field.

How to avoid java.util.ConcurrentModificationException when iterating through and removing elements from an ArrayList

You should really just iterate back the array in the traditional way

Every time you remove an element from the list, the elements after will be push forward. As long as you don't change elements other than the iterating one, the following code should work.

public class Test(){
    private ArrayList<A> abc = new ArrayList<A>();

    public void doStuff(){
        for(int i = (abc.size() - 1); i >= 0; i--) 
            abc.get(i).doSomething();
    }

    public void removeA(A a){
        abc.remove(a);
    }
}

com.apple.WebKit.WebContent drops 113 error: Could not find specified service

Maybe it's an entirely different situation, but I always got WebView[43046:188825] Could not signal service com.apple.WebKit.WebContent: 113: Could not find specified service when opening a webpage on the simulator while having the debugger attached to it. If I end the debugger and opening the app again the webpage will open just fine. This doesn't happen on the devices.

After spending an entire work-day trying to figure out what's wrong, I found out that if we have a framework named Preferences, UIWebView and WKWebView will not be able to open a webpage and will throw the error above.

To reproduce this error just make a simple app with WKWebView to show a webpage. Then create a new framework target and name it Preferences. Then import it to the main target and run the simulator again. WKWebView will fail to open a webpage.

So, it might be unlikely, but if you have a framework with the name Preferences, try deleting or renaming it.

Also, if anyone has an explanation for this please do share.

BTW, I was on Xcode 9.2.

CRON job to run on the last day of the month

The last day of month can be 28-31 depending on what month it is (Feb, March etc). However in either of these cases, the next day is always 1st of next month. So we can use that to make sure we run some job always on the last day of a month using the code below:

0 8 28-31 * * [ "$(date +%d -d tomorrow)" = "01" ] && /your/script.sh

what does this mean ? image/png;base64?

It's an inlined image (png), encoded in base64. It can make a page faster: the browser doesn't have to query the server for the image data separately, saving a round trip.

(It can also make it slower if abused: these resources are not cached, so the bytes are included in each page load.)

Byte array to image conversion

First Install This Package:

Install-Package SixLabors.ImageSharp -Version 1.0.0-beta0007

[SixLabors.ImageSharp][1] [1]: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SixLabors.ImageSharp

Then use Below Code For Cast Byte Array To Image :

Image<Rgba32> image = Image.Load(byteArray); 

For Get ImageFormat Use Below Code:

IImageFormat format = Image.DetectFormat(byteArray);

For Mutate Image Use Below Code:

image.Mutate(x => x.Resize(new Size(1280, 960)));

How to insert text into the textarea at the current cursor position?

The code below is a TypeScript adaptation of the package https://github.com/grassator/insert-text-at-cursor by Dmitriy Kubyshkin.
