Solution : Right click on project > select : Maven->Update Project

Error gone.

When to use throws in a Java method declaration?

In the example you gave, the method will never throw an IOException, therefore the declaration is wrong (but valid). My guess is that the original method threw the IOException, but it was then updated to handle the exception within but the declaration was not changed.

Should I URL-encode POST data?

Above posts answers questions related to URL Encoding and How it works, but the original questions was "Should I URL-encode POST data?" which isn't answered.

From my recent experience with URL Encoding, I would like to extend the question further. "Should I URL-encode POST data, same as GET HTTP method. Generally, HTML Forms over the Browser if are filled, submitted and/or GET some information, Browsers will do URL Encoding but If an application exposes a web-service and expects Consumers to do URL-Encoding on data, is it Architecturally and Technically correct to do URL Encode with POST HTTP method ?"

Difference between <input type='submit' /> and <button type='submit'>text</button>

Not sure where you get your legends from but:

Submit button with <button>

As with:

<button type="submit">(html content)</button>

IE6 will submit all text for this button between the tags, other browsers will only submit the value. Using <button> gives you more layout freedom over the design of the button. In all its intents and purposes, it seemed excellent at first, but various browser quirks make it hard to use at times.

In your example, IE6 will send text to the server, while most other browsers will send nothing. To make it cross-browser compatible, use <button type="submit" value="text">text</button>. Better yet: don't use the value, because if you add HTML it becomes rather tricky what is received on server side. Instead, if you must send an extra value, use a hidden field.

Button with <input>

As with:

<input type="button" />

By default, this does next to nothing. It will not even submit your form. You can only place text on the button and give it a size and a border by means of CSS. Its original (and current) intent was to execute a script without the need to submit the form to the server.

Normal submit button with <input>

As with:

<input type="submit" />

Like the former, but actually submits the surrounding form.

Image submit button with <input>

As with:

<input type="image" />

Like the former (submit), it will also submit a form, but you can use any image. This used to be the preferred way to use images as buttons when a form needed submitting. For more control, <button> is now used. This can also be used for server side image maps but that's a rarity these days. When you use the usemap-attribute and (with or without that attribute), the browser will send the mouse-pointer X/Y coordinates to the server (more precisely, the mouse-pointer location inside the button of the moment you click it). If you just ignore these extras, it is nothing more than a submit button disguised as an image.

There are some subtle differences between browsers, but all will submit the value-attribute, except for the <button> tag as explained above.

How to make a phone call programmatically?

 Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:"+198+","+1+","+1)); 
             startActivity(callIntent);

for multiple ordered call

This is used to DTMF calling systems. If call is drop then, you should pass more " , " between numbers.

Evaluating a mathematical expression in a string

The reason eval and exec are so dangerous is that the default compile function will generate bytecode for any valid python expression, and the default eval or exec will execute any valid python bytecode. All the answers to date have focused on restricting the bytecode that can be generated (by sanitizing input) or building your own domain-specific-language using the AST.

Instead, you can easily create a simple eval function that is incapable of doing anything nefarious and can easily have runtime checks on memory or time used. Of course, if it is simple math, than there is a shortcut.

c = compile(stringExp, 'userinput', 'eval')
if c.co_code[0]==b'd' and c.co_code[3]==b'S':
    return c.co_consts[ord(c.co_code[1])+ord(c.co_code[2])*256]

The way this works is simple, any constant mathematic expression is safely evaluated during compilation and stored as a constant. The code object returned by compile consists of d, which is the bytecode for LOAD_CONST, followed by the number of the constant to load (usually the last one in the list), followed by S, which is the bytecode for RETURN_VALUE. If this shortcut doesn't work, it means that the user input isn't a constant expression (contains a variable or function call or similar).

This also opens the door to some more sophisticated input formats. For example:

stringExp = "1 + cos(2)"

This requires actually evaluating the bytecode, which is still quite simple. Python bytecode is a stack oriented language, so everything is a simple matter of TOS=stack.pop(); op(TOS); stack.put(TOS) or similar. The key is to only implement the opcodes that are safe (loading/storing values, math operations, returning values) and not unsafe ones (attribute lookup). If you want the user to be able to call functions (the whole reason not to use the shortcut above), simple make your implementation of CALL_FUNCTION only allow functions in a 'safe' list.

from dis import opmap
from Queue import LifoQueue
from math import sin,cos
import operator

globs = {'sin':sin, 'cos':cos}
safe = globs.values()

stack = LifoQueue()

class BINARY(object):
    def __init__(self, operator):
        self.op=operator
    def __call__(self, context):
        stack.put(self.op(stack.get(),stack.get()))

class UNARY(object):
    def __init__(self, operator):
        self.op=operator
    def __call__(self, context):
        stack.put(self.op(stack.get()))


def CALL_FUNCTION(context, arg):
    argc = arg[0]+arg[1]*256
    args = [stack.get() for i in range(argc)]
    func = stack.get()
    if func not in safe:
        raise TypeError("Function %r now allowed"%func)
    stack.put(func(*args))

def LOAD_CONST(context, arg):
    cons = arg[0]+arg[1]*256
    stack.put(context['code'].co_consts[cons])

def LOAD_NAME(context, arg):
    name_num = arg[0]+arg[1]*256
    name = context['code'].co_names[name_num]
    if name in context['locals']:
        stack.put(context['locals'][name])
    else:
        stack.put(context['globals'][name])

def RETURN_VALUE(context):
    return stack.get()

opfuncs = {
    opmap['BINARY_ADD']: BINARY(operator.add),
    opmap['UNARY_INVERT']: UNARY(operator.invert),
    opmap['CALL_FUNCTION']: CALL_FUNCTION,
    opmap['LOAD_CONST']: LOAD_CONST,
    opmap['LOAD_NAME']: LOAD_NAME
    opmap['RETURN_VALUE']: RETURN_VALUE,
}

def VMeval(c):
    context = dict(locals={}, globals=globs, code=c)
    bci = iter(c.co_code)
    for bytecode in bci:
        func = opfuncs[ord(bytecode)]
        if func.func_code.co_argcount==1:
            ret = func(context)
        else:
            args = ord(bci.next()), ord(bci.next())
            ret = func(context, args)
        if ret:
            return ret

def evaluate(expr):
    return VMeval(compile(expr, 'userinput', 'eval'))

Obviously, the real version of this would be a bit longer (there are 119 opcodes, 24 of which are math related). Adding STORE_FAST and a couple others would allow for input like 'x=5;return x+x or similar, trivially easily. It can even be used to execute user-created functions, so long as the user created functions are themselves executed via VMeval (don't make them callable!!! or they could get used as a callback somewhere). Handling loops requires support for the goto bytecodes, which means changing from a for iterator to while and maintaining a pointer to the current instruction, but isn't too hard. For resistance to DOS, the main loop should check how much time has passed since the start of the calculation, and certain operators should deny input over some reasonable limit (BINARY_POWER being the most obvious).

While this approach is somewhat longer than a simple grammar parser for simple expressions (see above about just grabbing the compiled constant), it extends easily to more complicated input, and doesn't require dealing with grammar (compile take anything arbitrarily complicated and reduces it to a sequence of simple instructions).

Min width in window resizing

Well, you pretty much gave yourself the answer. In your CSS give the containing element a min-width. If you have to support IE6 you can use the min-width-trick:

#container {
    min-width:800px;
    width: auto !important;
    width:800px;
}

That will effectively give you 800px min-width in IE6 and any up-to-date browsers.

JavaScript blob filename without link

Late, but since I had the same problem I add my solution:

function newFile(data, fileName) {
    var json = JSON.stringify(data);
    //IE11 support
    if (window.navigator && window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
        let blob = new Blob([json], {type: "application/json"});
        window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, fileName);
    } else {// other browsers
        let file = new File([json], fileName, {type: "application/json"});
        let exportUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file);
        window.location.assign(exportUrl);
        URL.revokeObjectURL(exportUrl);
    }
}

How to encrypt/decrypt data in php?

Here is an example using openssl_encrypt

//Encryption:
$textToEncrypt = "My Text to Encrypt";
$encryptionMethod = "AES-256-CBC";
$secretHash = "encryptionhash";
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(16, MCRYPT_RAND);
$encryptedText = openssl_encrypt($textToEncrypt,$encryptionMethod,$secretHash, 0, $iv);

//Decryption:
$decryptedText = openssl_decrypt($encryptedText, $encryptionMethod, $secretHash, 0, $iv);
print "My Decrypted Text: ". $decryptedText;

Java Class.cast() vs. cast operator

C++ and Java are different languages.

The Java C-style cast operator is much more restricted than the C/C++ version. Effectively the Java cast is like the C++ dynamic_cast if the object you have cannot be cast to the new class you will get a run time (or if there is enough information in the code a compile time) exception. Thus the C++ idea of not using C type casts is not a good idea in Java

Adding Jar files to IntellijIdea classpath

On the Mac version I was getting the error when trying to run JSON-Clojure.json.clj, which is the script to export a database table to JSON. To get it to work I had to download the latest Clojure JAR from http://clojure.org/ and then right-click on PHPStorm app in the Finder and "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents in there. Then open the lib folder, and see a bunch of .jar files. Copy the clojure-1.8.0.jar file from the unzipped archive I downloaded from clojure.org into the aforementioned lib folder inside the PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. Restart the app. Now it freaking works.

EDIT: You also have to put the JSR-223 script engine into PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. It can be built from https://github.com/ato/clojure-jsr223 or downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/jg7s0c41t5ceu7o/clojure-jsr223-1.5.1.jar?dl=0 .

Obtain smallest value from array in Javascript?

Jon Resig illustrated in this article how this could be achieved by extending the Array prototype and invoking the underlying Math.min method which unfortunately doesn't take an array but a variable number of arguments:

Array.min = function( array ){
    return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
};

and then:

var minimum = Array.min(array);

Android: Align button to bottom-right of screen using FrameLayout?

Actually it's possible, despite what's being said in other answers. If you have a FrameLayout, and want to position a child item to the bottom, you can use android:layout_gravity="bottom" and that is going to align that child to the bottom of the FrameLayout.

I know it works because I'm using it. I know is late, but it might come handy to others since this ranks in the top positions on google

Wordpress 403/404 Errors: You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/themes.php on this server

You're in luck bud...I had the same issue but had more tech knowledge on the matter and was able to determine that it was a mod_sec issue that hostgator has to fix/whitelist on their own. You cannot do it yourself. Simply ask the hostgator tech to check mod_sec settings on your server.

Enjoy your fixed issue ;D

Merge two Excel tables Based on matching data in Columns

Put the table in the second image on Sheet2, columns D to F.

In Sheet1, cell D2 use the formula

=iferror(vlookup($A2,Sheet2!$D$1:$F$100,column(A1),false),"")

copy across and down.

Edit: here is a picture. The data is in two sheets. On Sheet1, enter the formula into cell D2. Then copy the formula across to F2 and then down as many rows as you need.

Unable to call the built in mb_internal_encoding method?

If you don't know how to enable php_mbstring extension in windows, open your php.ini and remove the semicolon before the extension:

change this

;extension=php_mbstring.dll

to this

extension=php_mbstring.dll

after modification, you need to reset your php server.

How can I execute PHP code from the command line?

How to end a session in ExpressJS

Express 4.x Updated Answer

Session handling is no longer built into Express. This answer refers to the standard session module: https://github.com/expressjs/session

To clear the session data, simply use:

req.session.destroy();

The documentation is a bit useless on this. It says:

Destroys the session, removing req.session, will be re-generated next request. req.session.destroy(function(err) { // cannot access session here })

This does not mean that the current session will be re-loaded on the next request. It means that a clean empty session will be created in your session store on next request. (Presumably the session ID isn't changing, but I have not tested that.)

Execute another jar in a Java program

Extract a substring from a string in Ruby using a regular expression

You can use a regular expression for that pretty easily…

Allowing spaces around the word (but not keeping them):

str.match(/< ?([^>]+) ?>\Z/)[1]

Or without the spaces allowed:

str.match(/<([^>]+)>\Z/)[1]

Bootstrap 3 jquery event for active tab change

Thanks to @Gerben's post came to know there are two events show.bs.tab (before the tab is shown) and shown.bs.tab (after the tab is shown) as explained in the docs - Bootstrap Tab usage

An additional solution if we're only interested in a specific tab, and maybe add separate functions without having to add an if - else block in one function, is to use the a href selector (maybe along with additional selectors if required)

 $("a[href='#tab_target_id']").on('shown.bs.tab', function(e) {
      console.log('shown - after the tab has been shown');
 });

 // or even this one if we want the earlier event
 $("a[href='#tab_target_id']").on('show.bs.tab', function(e) {
      console.log('show - before the new tab has been shown');
 });

How to detect the currently pressed key?

You can P/Invoke down to the Win32 GetAsyncKeyState to test any key on the keyboard.

You can pass in values from the Keys enum (e.g. Keys.Shift) to this function, so it only requires a couple of lines of code to add it.

rmagick gem install "Can't find Magick-config"

For those who don't want to do the build-from-source approach of the (otherwise excellent installer script by John Maddox, the following worked for me when installing on CentOS 6.2. (Adjust your package manager as necessary).

yum install -y {libwmf,lcms,ghostscript,ImageMagick}{,-devel}
gem install rmagick

Again, this is mainly of interest if you use your distro's package manager and would really prefer to keep it sane.

SQL Server: Invalid Column Name

Following procedure helped me solve this issue but i don't know why.

  1. Cut the code in question given by the lines in the message

  3. Paste the code to where it was before
  4. Again save the query

Even if it seems to be the same query executing it did not throw this error

Check if a String contains numbers Java

            if (containsDigit = Character.isDigit(c)) {

            }
        }
    }

Android ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class on path

For those of you who are having this issue on Android Studio, I had the same problem after a merge and for some reason it even persisted after clean and invalidate cash/restart operations which was driving me crazy.

Turns out, it can be fixed by running gradle build once from command line. Simply run the following n the project directory:

./gradlew assemble clean
./gradlew assemble

I hope it'd save someone the time waste and frustration I had to go through.

Purpose of ESI & EDI registers?

In addition to the string operations (MOVS/INS/STOS/CMPS/SCASB/W/D/Q etc.) mentioned in the other answers, I wanted to add that there are also more "modern" x86 assembly instructions that implicitly use at least EDI/RDI:

The SSE2 MASKMOVDQU (and the upcoming AVX VMASKMOVDQU) instruction selectively write bytes from an XMM register to memory pointed to by EDI/RDI.

make UITableViewCell selectable only while editing

Have you tried setting the selection properties of your tableView like this:

tableView.allowsMultipleSelection = NO; tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = YES; tableView.allowsSelection = NO; tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing YES; 

If you want more fine-grain control over when selection is allowed you can override - (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath in your UITableView delegate. The documentation states:

Return Value An index-path object that confirms or alters the selected row. Return an NSIndexPath object other than indexPath if you want another cell to be selected. Return nil if you don't want the row selected. 

You can have this method return nil in cases where you don't want the selection to happen.

Stop setInterval call in JavaScript

setInterval() returns an interval ID, which you can pass to clearInterval():

var refreshIntervalId = setInterval(fname, 10000);

/* later */
clearInterval(refreshIntervalId);

Is it possible to add dynamically named properties to JavaScript object?

I know there are several answers to this post already, but I haven't seen one wherein there are multiple properties and they are within an array. And this solution by the way is for ES6.

For illustration, let's say we have an array named person with objects inside:

 let Person = [{id:1, Name: "John"}, {id:2, Name: "Susan"}, {id:3, Name: "Jet"}]

So, you can add a property with corresponding value. Let's say we want to add a Language with a default value of EN.

Person.map((obj)=>({...obj,['Language']:"EN"}))

The Person array now would become like this:

Person = [{id:1, Name: "John", Language:"EN"}, 
{id:2, Name: "Susan", Language:"EN"}, {id:3, Name: "Jet", Language:"EN"}]

Exploring Docker container's file system

For me, this one works well (thanks to the last comments for pointing out the directory /var/lib/docker/):

chroot /var/lib/docker/containers/2465790aa2c4*/root/

Here, 2465790aa2c4 is the short ID of the running container (as displayed by docker ps), followed by a star.

Illegal string offset Warning PHP

VBScript - How to make program wait until process has finished?

You need to tell the run to wait until the process is finished. Something like:

const DontWaitUntilFinished = false, ShowWindow = 1, DontShowWindow = 0, WaitUntilFinished = true
set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
command = "cmd /c C:\windows\system32\wscript.exe <path>\myScript.vbs " & args
oShell.Run command, DontShowWindow, WaitUntilFinished

In the script itself, start Excel like so. While debugging start visible:

File = "c:\test\myfile.xls"
oShell.run """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE"" " & File, 1, true

How to check the exit status using an if statement

You could try to find out if $? is empty by using the said script below:

# Code that may fail here
if [ -z "$?" ]
then
      echo "Code if not failed"
else
      echo "Code if failed"
fi

Specifying trust store information in spring boot application.properties

When everything sounded so complicated, this command worked for me:

keytool -genkey -alias foo -keystore cacerts -dname cn=test -storepass changeit -keypass changeit

When a developer is in trouble, I believe a simple working solution snippet is more than enough for him. Later he could diagnose the root cause and basic understanding related to the issue.

Joining Multiple Tables - Oracle

While former answer is absolutely correct, I prefer using the JOIN ON syntax to be sure that I know how do I join and on what fields. It would look something like this:

SELECT bc.firstname, bc.lastname, b.title, TO_CHAR(bo.orderdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY') "Order         Date", p.publishername
FROM books b
JOIN book_customer bc ON bc.costumer_id = b.book_id
LEFT JOIN book_order bo ON bo.book_id = b.book_id
(etc.)
WHERE b.publishername = 'PRINTING IS US';

This syntax seperates completely the WHERE clause from the JOIN clause, making the statement more readable and easier for you to debug.

Find an element in DOM based on an attribute value

Modern browsers support native querySelectorAll so you can do:

document.querySelectorAll('[data-foo="value"]');

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document.querySelectorAll

Details about browser compatibility:

You can use jQuery to support obsolete browsers (IE9 and older):

$('[data-foo="value"]');

Differences in boolean operators: & vs && and | vs ||

I know there's a lot of answers here, but they all seem a bit confusing. So after doing some research from the Java oracle study guide, I've come up with three different scenarios of when to use && or &. The three scenarios are logical AND, bitwise AND, and boolean AND.

Logical AND: Logical AND (aka Conditional AND) uses the && operator. It's short-circuited meaning: if the left operand is false, then the right operand will not be evaluated.
Example:

int x = 0;
if (false && (1 == ++x) {
    System.out.println("Inside of if");
}
System.out.println(x); // "0"

In the above example the value printed to the console of x will be 0, because the first operand in the if statement is false, hence java has no need to compute (1 == ++x) therefore x will not be computed.

Bitwise AND: Bitwise AND uses the & operator. It's used to preform a bitwise operation on the value. It's much easier to see what's going on by looking at operation on binary numbers ex:

int a = 5;     //                    5 in binary is 0101
int b = 12;    //                   12 in binary is 1100
int c = a & b; // bitwise & preformed on a and b is 0100 which is 4

As you can see in the example, when the binary representations of the numbers 5 and 12 are lined up, then a bitwise AND preformed will only produce a binary number where the same digit in both numbers have a 1. Hence 0101 & 1100 == 0100. Which in decimal is 5 & 12 == 4.

Boolean AND: Now the boolean AND operator behaves similarly and differently to both the bitwise AND and logical AND. I like to think of it as preforming a bitwise AND between two boolean values (or bits), therefore it uses & operator. The boolean values can be the result of a logical expression too.

It returns either a true or false value, much like the logical AND, but unlike the logical AND it is not short-circuited. The reason being, is that for it to preform that bitwise AND, it must know the value of both left and right operands. Here's an ex:

int x = 0;
if (false & (1 == ++x) {
    System.out.println("Inside of if");
}
System.out.println(x); //"1"

Now when that if statement is ran, the expression (1 == ++x) will be executed, even though the left operand is false. Hence the value printed out for x will be 1 because it got incremented.

This also applies to Logical OR (||), bitwise OR (|), and boolean OR (|) Hope this clears up some confusion.

lexers vs parsers

What parsers and lexers have in common:

  1. They read symbols of some alphabet from their input.

    • Hint: The alphabet doesn't necessarily have to be of letters. But it has to be of symbols which are atomic for the language understood by parser/lexer.
    • Symbols for the lexer: ASCII characters.
    • Symbols for the parser: the particular tokens, which are terminal symbols of their grammar.
  2. They analyse these symbols and try to match them with the grammar of the language they understood.

    • Here's where the real difference usually lies. See below for more.
    • Grammar understood by lexers: regular grammar (Chomsky's level 3).
    • Grammar understood by parsers: context-free grammar (Chomsky's level 2).
  3. They attach semantics (meaning) to the language pieces they find.

    • Lexers attach meaning by classifying lexemes (strings of symbols from the input) as the particular tokens. E.g. All these lexemes: *, ==, <=, ^ will be classified as "operator" token by the C/C++ lexer.
    • Parsers attach meaning by classifying strings of tokens from the input (sentences) as the particular nonterminals and building the parse tree. E.g. all these token strings: [number][operator][number], [id][operator][id], [id][operator][number][operator][number] will be classified as "expression" nonterminal by the C/C++ parser.
  4. They can attach some additional meaning (data) to the recognized elements.

    • When a lexer recognizes a character sequence constituting a proper number, it can convert it to its binary value and store with the "number" token.
    • Similarly, when a parser recognize an expression, it can compute its value and store with the "expression" node of the syntax tree.
  5. They all produce on their output a proper sentences of the language they recognize.

    • Lexers produce tokens, which are sentences of the regular language they recognize. Each token can have an inner syntax (though level 3, not level 2), but that doesn't matter for the output data and for the one which reads them.
    • Parsers produce syntax trees, which are representations of sentences of the context-free language they recognize. Usually it's only one big tree for the whole document/source file, because the whole document/source file is a proper sentence for them. But there aren't any reasons why parser couldn't produce a series of syntax trees on its output. E.g. it could be a parser which recognizes SGML tags sticked into plain-text. So it'll tokenize the SGML document into a series of tokens: [TXT][TAG][TAG][TXT][TAG][TXT]....

As you can see, parsers and tokenizers have much in common. One parser can be a tokenizer for other parser, which reads its input tokens as symbols from its own alphabet (tokens are simply symbols of some alphabet) in the same way as sentences from one language can be alphabetic symbols of some other, higher-level language. For example, if * and - are the symbols of the alphabet M (as "Morse code symbols"), then you can build a parser which recognizes strings of these dots and lines as letters encoded in the Morse code. The sentences in the language "Morse Code" could be tokens for some other parser, for which these tokens are atomic symbols of its language (e.g. "English Words" language). And these "English Words" could be tokens (symbols of the alphabet) for some higher-level parser which understands "English Sentences" language. And all these languages differ only in the complexity of the grammar. Nothing more.

So what's all about these "Chomsky's grammar levels"? Well, Noam Chomsky classified grammars into four levels depending on their complexity:

  • Level 3: Regular grammars

    They use regular expressions, that is, they can consist only of the symbols of alphabet (a,b), their concatenations (ab,aba,bbb etd.), or alternatives (e.g. a|b).
    They can be implemented as finite state automata (FSA), like NFA (Nondeterministic Finite Automaton) or better DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton).
    Regular grammars can't handle with nested syntax, e.g. properly nested/matched parentheses (()()(()())), nested HTML/BBcode tags, nested blocks etc. It's because state automata to deal with it should have to have infinitely many states to handle infinitely many nesting levels.
  • Level 2: Context-free grammars

    They can have nested, recursive, self-similar branches in their syntax trees, so they can handle with nested structures well.
    They can be implemented as state automaton with stack. This stack is used to represent the nesting level of the syntax. In practice, they're usually implemented as a top-down, recursive-descent parser which uses machine's procedure call stack to track the nesting level, and use recursively called procedures/functions for every non-terminal symbol in their syntax.
    But they can't handle with a context-sensitive syntax. E.g. when you have an expression x+3 and in one context this x could be a name of a variable, and in other context it could be a name of a function etc.
  • Level 1: Context-sensitive grammars

  • Level 0: Unrestricted grammars
    Also called recursively enumerable grammars.

Changing nav-bar color after scrolling?

i think this solution is shorter and simpler than older answers. This is Js Code:

const navbar = document.querySelector('.nav-fixed');
window.onscroll = () => {
    if (window.scrollY > 300) {
        navbar.classList.add('nav-active');
    } else {
        navbar.classList.remove('nav-active');
    }
};

And my css:

header.nav-fixed {
    width: 100%;
    position: fixed;
    transition: 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.nav-active {
    background-color:#fff;
    box-shadow: 5px -1px 12px -5px grey;
}

How to format a string as a telephone number in C#

You may get find yourself in the situation where you have users trying to enter phone numbers with all sorts of separators between area code and the main number block (e.g., spaces, dashes, periods, ect...) So you'll want to strip the input of all characters that are not numbers so you can sterilize the input you are working with. The easiest way to do this is with a RegEx expression.

string formattedPhoneNumber = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"\D")
    .Replace(originalPhoneNumber, string.Empty);

Then the answer you have listed should work in most cases.

To answer what you have about your extension issue, you can strip anything that is longer than the expected length of ten (for a regular phone number) and add that to the end using

formattedPhoneNumber = Convert.ToInt64(formattedPhoneNumber)
     .ToString("###-###-#### " + new String('#', (value.Length - 10)));

You will want to do an 'if' check to determine if the length of your input is greater than 10 before doing this, if not, just use:

formattedPhoneNumber = Convert.ToInt64(value).ToString("###-###-####");

Erasing elements from a vector

Use the remove/erase idiom:

std::vector<int>& vec = myNumbers; // use shorter name
vec.erase(std::remove(vec.begin(), vec.end(), number_in), vec.end());

What happens is that remove compacts the elements that differ from the value to be removed (number_in) in the beginning of the vector and returns the iterator to the first element after that range. Then erase removes these elements (whose value is unspecified).

How do I center floated elements?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>float object center</title>
    <style type="text/css">
#warp{
    width:500px;
    margin:auto;
}
.ser{
width: 200px;
background-color: #ffffff;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-right: 50px;
}
.inim{
    width: 120px;
    margin-left: 40px;
}

    </style>
</head>
<body>



<div id="warp">
            <div class="ser">
              <img class="inim" src="http://123greetingsquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/republic-day-parade-india-images-120x120.jpg">

              </div>
           <div class="ser">
             <img class="inim" sr`enter code here`c="http://123greetingsquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/republic-day-parade-india-images-120x120.jpg">

             </div>
        </div>

</body>
</html>

step 1

create two or more div's you want and give them a definite width like 100px for each then float it left or right

step 2

then warp these two div's in another div and give it the width of 200px. to this div apply margin auto. boom it works pretty well. check the above example.

How to Set/Update State of StatefulWidget from other StatefulWidget in Flutter?

Although most of these previous answers will work, I suggest you explore the provider or BloC architectures, both of which have been recommended by Google.

In short, the latter will create a stream that reports to widgets in the widget tree whenever a change in the state happens and it updates all relevant views regardless of where it is updated from.

How to remove unique key from mysql table

There are two method two remove index in mysql. First method is GUI. In this method you have to open GUI interface of MYSQL and then go to that database and then go to that particular table in which you want to remove index.

After that click on the structure option, Then you can see table structure and below you can see table indexes. You can remove indexes by clicking on drop option

enter image description here

Second method by

ALTER TABLE student_login_credentials DROP INDEX created_at;

here student_login_credentials is table name and created_at is column name

Maintain/Save/Restore scroll position when returning to a ListView

A very simple way:

/** Save the position **/
int currentPosition = listView.getFirstVisiblePosition();

//Here u should save the currentPosition anywhere

/** Restore the previus saved position **/
listView.setSelection(savedPosition);

The method setSelection will reset the list to the supplied item. If not in touch mode the item will actually be selected if in touch mode the item will only be positioned on screen.

A more complicated approach:

listView.setOnScrollListener(this);

//Implements the interface:
@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
            int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
    mCurrentX = view.getScrollX();
    mCurrentY = view.getScrollY();
}

@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {

}

//Save anywere the x and the y

/** Restore: **/
listView.scrollTo(savedX, savedY);

Polynomial time and exponential time

Below are some common Big-O functions while analyzing algorithms.

  • O(1) - constant time
  • O(log(n)) - logarithmic time
  • O((log(n))c) - polylogarithmic time
  • O(n) - linear time
  • O(n2) - quadratic time
  • O(nc) - polynomial time
  • O(cn) - exponential time
  • O(n!) - factorial time

(n = size of input, c = some constant)

How to transfer data from JSP to servlet when submitting HTML form

Create a class which extends HttpServlet and put @WebServlet annotation on it containing the desired URL the servlet should listen on.

@WebServlet("/yourServletURL")
public class YourServlet extends HttpServlet {}

And just let <form action> point to this URL. I would also recommend to use POST method for non-idempotent requests. You should make sure that you have specified the name attribute of the HTML form input fields (<input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button>). This represents the HTTP request parameter name. Finally, you also need to make sure that the input fields of interest are enclosed inside the desired form and thus not outside.

Here are some examples of various HTML form input fields:

<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/yourServletURL" method="post">
    <p>Normal text field.        
    <input type="text" name="name" /></p>

    <p>Secret text field.        
    <input type="password" name="pass" /></p>

    <p>Single-selection radiobuttons.        
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" /> Male
    <input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" /> Female</p>

    <p>Single-selection checkbox.
    <input type="checkbox" name="agree" /> Agree?</p>

    <p>Multi-selection checkboxes.
    <input type="checkbox" name="role" value="USER" /> User
    <input type="checkbox" name="role" value="ADMIN" /> Admin</p>

    <p>Single-selection dropdown.
    <select name="countryCode">
        <option value="NL">Netherlands</option>
        <option value="US">United States</option>
    </select></p>

    <p>Multi-selection listbox.
    <select name="animalId" multiple="true" size="2">
        <option value="1">Cat</option>
        <option value="2">Dog</option>
    </select></p>

    <p>Text area.
    <textarea name="message"></textarea></p>

    <p>Submit button.
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></p>
</form>

Create a doPost() method in your servlet which grabs the submitted input values as request parameters keyed by the input field's name (not id!). You can use request.getParameter() to get submitted value from single-value fields and request.getParameterValues() to get submitted values from multi-value fields.

@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    String name = request.getParameter("name");
    String pass = request.getParameter("pass");
    String gender = request.getParameter("gender");
    boolean agree = request.getParameter("agree") != null;
    String[] roles = request.getParameterValues("role");
    String countryCode = request.getParameter("countryCode");
    String[] animalIds = request.getParameterValues("animalId");
    String message = request.getParameter("message");
    boolean submitButtonPressed = request.getParameter("submit") != null;
    // ...
}

Do if necessary some validation and finally persist it in the DB the usual JDBC/DAO way.

User user = new User(name, pass, roles);
userDAO.save(user);

Change WPF window background image in C# code

I have been trying all the answers here with no success. Here is the simplest way to do it with ms-appx

        ImageBrush myBrush = new ImageBrush();
        Image image = new Image();
        image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///Assets/background.jpg"));
        myBrush.ImageSource = image.Source;
        TheGrid.Background = myBrush;

Assets folder is in the first level of my project, so make sure to change the path as convenient.

How can I escape square brackets in a LIKE clause?

Instead of '\' or another character on the keyboard, you can also use special characters that aren't on the keyboard. Depending o your use case this might be necessary, if you don't want user input to accidentally be used as an escape character.

Adding an HTTP Header to the request in a servlet filter

Extend HttpServletRequestWrapper, override the header getters to return the parameters as well:

public class AddParamsToHeader extends HttpServletRequestWrapper {
    public AddParamsToHeader(HttpServletRequest request) {
        super(request);
    }

    public String getHeader(String name) {
        String header = super.getHeader(name);
        return (header != null) ? header : super.getParameter(name); // Note: you can't use getParameterValues() here.
    }

    public Enumeration getHeaderNames() {
        List<String> names = Collections.list(super.getHeaderNames());
        names.addAll(Collections.list(super.getParameterNames()));
        return Collections.enumeration(names);
    }
}

..and wrap the original request with it:

chain.doFilter(new AddParamsToHeader((HttpServletRequest) request), response);

That said, I personally find this a bad idea. Rather give it direct access to the parameters or pass the parameters to it.

Why is synchronized block better than synchronized method?

Although not usually a concern, from a security perspective, it is better to use synchronized on a private object, rather than putting it on a method.

Putting it on the method means you are using the lock of the object itself to provide thread safety. With this kind of mechanism, it is possible for a malicious user of your code to also obtain the lock on your object, and hold it forever, effectively blocking other threads. A non-malicious user can effectively do the same thing inadvertently.

If you use the lock of a private data member, you can prevent this, since it is impossible for a malicious user to obtain the lock on your private object.

private final Object lockObject = new Object();

public void getCount() {
    synchronized( lockObject ) {
        ...
    }
}

This technique is mentioned in Bloch's Effective Java (2nd Ed), Item #70

How to write to the Output window in Visual Studio?

If this is for debug output then OutputDebugString is what you want. A useful macro :

#define DBOUT( s )            \
{                             \
   std::ostringstream os_;    \
   os_ << s;                   \
   OutputDebugString( os_.str().c_str() );  \
}

This allows you to say things like:

DBOUT( "The value of x is " << x );

You can extend this using the __LINE__ and __FILE__ macros to give even more information.

For those in Windows and wide character land:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

 #define DBOUT( s )            \
{                             \
   std::wostringstream os_;    \
   os_ << s;                   \
   OutputDebugStringW( os_.str().c_str() );  \
}

Where does R store packages?

This is documented in the 'R Installation and Administration' manual that came with your installation.

On my Linux box:

R> .libPaths()
[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library"      
[3] "/usr/lib/R/library"           
R> 

meaning that the default path is the first of these. You can override that via an argument to both install.packages() (from inside R) or R CMD INSTALL (outside R).

You can also override by setting the R_LIBS_USER variable.

How can I make a "color map" plot in matlab?

By default mesh will color surface values based on the (default) jet colormap (i.e. hot is higher). You can additionally use surf for filled surface patches and set the 'EdgeColor' property to 'None' (so the patch edges are non-visible).

[X,Y] = meshgrid(-8:.5:8);
R = sqrt(X.^2 + Y.^2) + eps;
Z = sin(R)./R;

% surface in 3D
figure;
surf(Z,'EdgeColor','None');

enter image description here

2D map: You can get a 2D map by switching the view property of the figure

% 2D map using view
figure;
surf(Z,'EdgeColor','None');
view(2);    

enter image description here

... or treating the values in Z as a matrix, viewing it as a scaled image using imagesc and selecting an appropriate colormap.

% using imagesc to view just Z
figure;
imagesc(Z); 
colormap jet; 

enter image description here

The color pallet of the map is controlled by colormap(map), where map can be custom or any of the built-in colormaps provided by MATLAB:

enter image description here

Update/Refining the map: Several design options on the map (resolution, smoothing, axis etc.) can be controlled by the regular MATLAB options. As @Floris points out, here is a smoothed, equal-axis, no-axis labels maps, adapted to this example:

figure;
surf(X, Y, Z,'EdgeColor', 'None', 'facecolor', 'interp');
view(2);
axis equal; 
axis off;

Print PHP Call Stack

Backtrace dumps a whole lot of garbage that you don't need. It takes is very long, difficult to read. All you usuall ever want is "what called what from where?" Here is a simple static function solution. I usually put it in a class called 'debug', which contains all of my debugging utility functions.

class debugUtils {
    public static function callStack($stacktrace) {
        print str_repeat("=", 50) ."\n";
        $i = 1;
        foreach($stacktrace as $node) {
            print "$i. ".basename($node['file']) .":" .$node['function'] ."(" .$node['line'].")\n";
            $i++;
        }
    } 
}

You call it like this:

debugUtils::callStack(debug_backtrace());

And it produces output like this:

How do I simulate a low bandwidth, high latency environment?

There is a product from http://www.shunra.com called VE Desktop which can be used to simulate varying network conditions. It allows you to tweak latencies, bandwidth and packetloss with a simple UI. Only caveat is, its not free. Hope this helps.

How to display Wordpress search results?

How do I disable the resizable property of a textarea?

If you need deep support, you can use an old school technique:

textarea {
    max-width: /* desired fixed width */ px;
    min-width: /* desired fixed width */ px;
    min-height: /* desired fixed height */ px;
    max-height: /* desired fixed height */ px;
}

How do I get DOUBLE_MAX?

INT_MAX is just a definition in limits.h. You don't make it clear whether you need to store an integer or floating point value. If integer, and using a 64-bit compiler, use a LONG (LLONG for 32-bit).

Difference between Visual Basic 6.0 and VBA

VBA stands for Visual Basic For Applications and its a Visual Basic implementation intended to be used in the Office Suite.

The difference between them is that VBA is embedded inside Office documents (its an Office feature). VB is the ide/language for developing applications.

How to get start and end of day in Javascript?

FYI (merged version of Tvanfosson)

it will return actual date => date when you are calling function

export const today = {
  iso: {
    start: () => new Date(new Date().setHours(0, 0, 0, 0)).toISOString(),
    now: () => new Date().toISOString(),
    end: () => new Date(new Date().setHours(23, 59, 59, 999)).toISOString()
  },
  local: {
  start: () => new Date(new Date(new Date().setHours(0, 0, 0, 0)).toString().split('GMT')[0] + ' UTC').toISOString(),
  now: () => new Date(new Date().toString().split('GMT')[0] + ' UTC').toISOString(),
  end: () => new Date(new Date(new Date().setHours(23, 59, 59, 999)).toString().split('GMT')[0] + ' UTC').toISOString()
  }
}

// how to use

today.local.now(); //"2018-09-07T01:48:48.000Z" BAKU +04:00
today.iso.now(); // "2018-09-06T21:49:00.304Z" * 

* it is applicable for Instant time type on Java8 which convert your local time automatically depending on your region.(if you are planning write global app)

How to read a single character at a time from a file in Python?

I learned a new idiom for this today while watching Raymond Hettinger's Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python:

import functools

with open(filename) as f:
    f_read_ch = functools.partial(f.read, 1)
    for ch in iter(f_read_ch, ''):
        print 'Read a character:', repr(ch) 

How to make use of ng-if , ng-else in angularJS

How do I get textual contents from BLOB in Oracle SQL

Worked for me,

select lcase((insert( insert( insert( insert(hex(BLOB_FIELD),9,0,'-'), 14,0,'-'), 19,0,'-'), 24,0,'-'))) as FIELD_ID from TABLE_WITH_BLOB where ID = 'row id';

var.replace is not a function

You should use toString() Method of java script for the convert into string before because replace method is a string function.

SQLAlchemy IN clause

Just an addition to the answers above.

If you want to execute a SQL with an "IN" statement you could do this:

ids_list = [1,2,3]
query = "SELECT id, name FROM user WHERE id IN %s" 
args = [(ids_list,)] # Don't forget the "comma", to force the tuple
conn.execute(query, args)

Two points:

  • There is no need for Parenthesis for the IN statement(like "... IN(%s) "), just put "...IN %s"
  • Force the list of your ids to be one element of a tuple. Don't forget the " , " : (ids_list,)

EDIT Watch out that if the length of list is one or zero this will raise an error!

Convert to absolute value in Objective-C

Depending on the type of your variable, one of abs(int), labs(long), llabs(long long), imaxabs(intmax_t), fabsf(float), fabs(double), or fabsl(long double).

Those functions are all part of the C standard library, and so are present both in Objective-C and plain C (and are generally available in C++ programs too.)

(Alas, there is no habs(short) function. Or scabs(signed char) for that matter...)


Apple's and GNU's Objective-C headers also include an ABS() macro which is type-agnostic. I don't recommend using ABS() however as it is not guaranteed to be side-effect-safe. For instance, ABS(a++) will have an undefined result.


If you're using C++ or Objective-C++, you can bring in the <cmath> header and use std::abs(), which is templated for all the standard integer and floating-point types.

Unable to create Android Virtual Device

This can happen when:

  • You have multiple copies of the Android SDK installed on your machine. You may be updating the available images and devices for one copy of the Android SDK, and trying to debug or run your application in another.

    If you're using Eclipse, take a look at your "Preferences | Android | SDK Location". Make sure it's the path you expect. If not, change the path to point to where you think the Android SDK is installed.

  • You don't have an Android device setup in your emulator as detailed in other answers on this page.

how to call service method from ng-change of select in angularjs?

You have at least two issues in your code:

  • ng-change="getScoreData(Score)

    Angular doesn't see getScoreData method that refers to defined service

  • getScoreData: function (Score, callback)

    We don't need to use callback since GET returns promise. Use then instead.

Here is a working example (I used random address only for simulation):

HTML

<select ng-model="score"
        ng-change="getScoreData(score)" 
        ng-options="score as score.name for score in  scores"></select>
    <pre>{{ScoreData|json}}</pre> 

JS

var fessmodule = angular.module('myModule', ['ngResource']);

fessmodule.controller('fessCntrl', function($scope, ScoreDataService) {

    $scope.scores = [{
        name: 'Bukit Batok Street 1',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, 153 Bukit Batok Street 1&sensor=true'
    }, {
        name: 'London 8',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, London 8&sensor=true'
    }];

    $scope.getScoreData = function(score) {
        ScoreDataService.getScoreData(score).then(function(result) {
            $scope.ScoreData = result;
        }, function(result) {
            alert("Error: No data returned");
        });
    };

});

fessmodule.$inject = ['$scope', 'ScoreDataService'];

fessmodule.factory('ScoreDataService', ['$http', '$q', function($http) {

    var factory = {
        getScoreData: function(score) {
            console.log(score);
            var data = $http({
                method: 'GET',
                url: score.URL
            });


            return data;
        }
    }
    return factory;
}]);

Hexadecimal to Integer in Java

Why do you not use the java functionality for that:

If your numbers are small (smaller than yours) you could use: Integer.parseInt(hex, 16) to convert a Hex - String into an integer.

  String hex = "ff"
  int value = Integer.parseInt(hex, 16);  

For big numbers like yours, use public BigInteger(String val, int radix)

  BigInteger value = new BigInteger(hex, 16);

@See JavaDoc:

Difference between "or" and || in Ruby?

The way I use these operators:

||, && are for boolean logic. or, and are for control flow. E.g.

do_smth if may_be || may_be -- we evaluate the condition here

do_smth or do_smth_else -- we define the workflow, which is equivalent to do_smth_else unless do_smth

to give a simple example:

> puts "a" && "b"
b

> puts 'a' and 'b'
a

Changing color of Twitter bootstrap Nav-Pills

}

Note:- This worked for me using Bootstrap 4

Push method in React Hooks (useState)?

I tried the above methods for pushing an object into an array of objects in useState but had the following error when using TypeScript:

Type 'TxBacklog[] | undefined' must have a 'Symbol.iterator' method that returns an iterator.ts(2488)

The setup for the tsconfig.json was apparently right:

{
   "compilerOptions": {
   "target": "es6",
   "lib": [
      "dom",
      "dom.iterable",
      "esnext",
      "es6",
],

This workaround solved the problem (my sample code):

Interface:

   interface TxBacklog {
      status: string,
      txHash: string,
   }

State variable:

    const [txBacklog, setTxBacklog] = React.useState<TxBacklog[]>();

Push new object into array:

    // Define new object to be added
    const newTx = {
       txHash: '0x368eb7269eb88ba86..',
       status: 'pending'
    };
    // Push new object into array
    (txBacklog) 
       ? setTxBacklog(prevState => [ ...prevState!, newTx ])
       : setTxBacklog([newTx]);

How to get all Windows service names starting with a common word?

Using PowerShell, you can use the following

Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Select name

This will show a list off all services which displayname starts with "NATION-".

You can also directly stop or start the services;

Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Stop-Service
Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Start-Service

or simply

Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Restart-Service

Proper way of checking if row exists in table in PL/SQL block

Many ways to skin this cat. I put a simple function in each table's package...

function exists( id_in in yourTable.id%type ) return boolean is
  res boolean := false;
begin
  for c1 in ( select 1 from yourTable where id = id_in and rownum = 1 ) loop
    res := true;
    exit; -- only care about one record, so exit.
  end loop;
  return( res );
end exists;

Makes your checks really clean...

IF pkg.exists(someId) THEN
...
ELSE
...
END IF;

Inserting Image Into BLOB Oracle 10g

You cannot access a local directory from pl/sql. If you use bfile, you will setup a directory (create directory) on the server where Oracle is running where you will need to put your images.

If you want to insert a handful of images from your local machine, you'll need a client side app to do this. You can write your own, but I typically use Toad for this. In schema browser, click onto the table. Click the data tab, and hit + sign to add a row. Double click the BLOB column, and a wizard opens. The far left icon will load an image into the blob:

enter image description here

SQL Developer has a similar feature. See the "Load" link below:

enter image description here

If you need to pull images over the wire, you can do it using pl/sql, but its not straight forward. First, you'll need to setup ACL list access (for security reasons) to allow a user to pull over the wire. See this article for more on ACL setup.

Assuming ACL is complete, you'd pull the image like this:

declare
    l_url varchar2(4000) := 'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/12_c_navbnr.jpg';
    l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
    l_http_response  UTL_HTTP.resp;
    l_raw RAW(2000);
    l_blob BLOB;
begin
   -- Important: setup ACL access list first!

    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);

    l_http_request  := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(l_url);
    l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);

  -- Copy the response into the BLOB.
  BEGIN
    LOOP
      UTL_HTTP.read_raw(l_http_response, l_raw, 2000);
      DBMS_LOB.writeappend (l_blob, UTL_RAW.length(l_raw), l_raw);
    END LOOP;
  EXCEPTION
    WHEN UTL_HTTP.end_of_body THEN
      UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
  END;

  insert into my_pics (pic_id, pic) values (102, l_blob);
  commit;

  DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob); 
end;

Hope that helps.

Get file version in PowerShell

As EBGreen said, [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo(path) will work, but remember that you can also get all the members of FileVersionInfo, for example:

[System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo(path).CompanyName

You should be able to use every member of FileVersionInfo documented here, which will get you basically anything you could ever want about the file.

Resizable table columns with jQuery

What is a Question Mark "?" and Colon ":" Operator Used for?

Maybe It can be perfect example for Android, For example:

void setWaitScreen(boolean set) {
    findViewById(R.id.screen_main).setVisibility(
            set ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
    findViewById(R.id.screen_wait).setVisibility(
            set ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);

How do you take a git diff file, and apply it to a local branch that is a copy of the same repository?

Copy the diff file to the root of your repository, and then do:

git apply yourcoworkers.diff

More information about the apply command is available on its man page.

By the way: A better way to exchange whole commits by file is the combination of the commands git format-patch on the sender and then git am on the receiver, because it also transfers the authorship info and the commit message.

If the patch application fails and if the commits the diff was generated from are actually in your repo, you can use the -3 option of apply that tries to merge in the changes.

It also works with Unix pipe as follows:

git diff d892531 815a3b5 | git apply

How to make a <button> in Bootstrap look like a normal link in nav-tabs?

Works perfectly without any extra CSS.

How can I remove item from querystring in asp.net using c#?

Finally,

hmemcpy answer was totally for me and thanks to other friends who answered.

I grab the HttpValueCollection using Reflector and wrote the following code

        var hebe = new HttpValueCollection();

            hebe.Remove("Language");

        Response.Redirect(Request.Url.AbsolutePath + "?" + hebe );

OnChange event using React JS for drop down

If you are using select as inline to other component, then you can also use like given below.

<select onChange={(val) => this.handlePeriodChange(val.target.value)} className="btn btn-sm btn-outline-secondary dropdown-toggle">
    <option value="TODAY">Today</option>
    <option value="THIS_WEEK" >This Week</option>
    <option value="THIS_MONTH">This Month</option>
    <option value="THIS_YEAR">This Year</option>
    <option selected value="LAST_AVAILABLE_DAY">Last Availabe NAV Day</option>
</select>

And on the component where select is used, define the function to handle onChange like below:

handlePeriodChange(selVal) {
    this.props.handlePeriodChange(selVal);
}

Shift column in pandas dataframe up by one?

To easily shift by 5 values for example and also get rid of the NaN rows, without having to keep track of the number of values you shifted by:

d['gdp'] = df['gdp'].shift(-5)

Jquery Ajax Call, doesn't call Success or Error

Try to encapsulate the ajax call into a function and set the async option to false. Note that this option is deprecated since jQuery 1.8.

function foo() {
    var myajax = $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "CHService.asmx/SavePurpose",
        dataType: "text",
        data: JSON.stringify({ Vid: Vid, PurpId: PurId }),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        async: false, //add this
    });
    return myajax.responseText;
}

You can do this also:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "CHService.asmx/SavePurpose",
    dataType: "text",
    data: JSON.stringify({ Vid: Vid, PurpId: PurId }),
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    async: false, //add this
}).done(function ( data ) {
        Success = true;
}).fail(function ( data ) {
       Success = false;
});

How do I find out what type each object is in a ArrayList<Object>?

Since Java 8

                case "Double":
                    // treat as a double
                    break;
                ...
                default:

Mongoose and multiple database in single node.js project

As an alternative approach, Mongoose does export a constructor for a new instance on the default instance. So something like this is possible.

var Mongoose = require('mongoose').Mongoose;

var instance1 = new Mongoose();
instance1.connect('foo');

var instance2 = new Mongoose();
instance2.connect('bar');

This is very useful when working with separate data sources, and also when you want to have a separate database context for each user or request. You will need to be careful, as it is possible to create a LOT of connections when doing this. Make sure to call disconnect() when instances are not needed, and also to limit the pool size created by each instance.

json_encode function: special characters

Your input has to be encoded as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php

Because if you try to convert an array of non-utf8 characters you'll be getting 0 as return value.


Since 5.5.0 The return value on failure was changed from null string to FALSE.

Bundling data files with PyInstaller (--onefile)

For those of whom are still looking for a more recent answer, here you go:

In the documentation, there's a section on accessing added data files.
Here is the short and sweet of it.


You'll want to import pkgutil and locate which folder you added the datafile to; i.e. the second string in the tuple which was added to the spec file:

datas = [("path/to/mypackage/data_file.txt", "path/to/mypackage")]

Knowing where you added the data file can then be used for reading it in as binary data, and decoding it as you wish. Take this example:

File structure:

mypackage
      __init__.py  # This is a MUST in order for the package to be registered
      data_file.txt  # The data file you've added

data_file.txt

Hello world!

main.py

import pkgutil

file = pkgutil.get_data("mypackage", "data_file.txt")
contents = file.decode("utf-8")
print(contents)  # Hello world!

Facebook Oauth Logout

For Python developers that want to log user out straight from the backend

At the moment I'm writing this, the trick with m.facebook.com no longer works (at least for me) and user is redirected to the mobile FB login page which obviously is not good for UX.

Fortunately, FB PHP SDK has a semi-documented solution (in case the link doesn't lead to getLogoutUrl() function, just search look for it on that page). This is also mentioned in at least one other on StackOverflow: Facebook php SDK getLogoutUrl() problem.

BTW I've just noticed that Zach Greenberg got it right in this question, but I'm adding my answer as a summary for Python developers.

Android: I lost my android key store, what should I do?

As everyone has said, you definitely need the key. There's no workaround for that. However, you might be surprised at how good the data recovery software can be, and how long the key may linger on your systems -- it's a tiny, tiny file, after all, and may not yet be overwritten. I was pleasantly surprised on both counts.

I develop on an OSX machine. I unintentionally deleted my app key around 6 weeks ago. When I tried to update, I realized my schoolboy error. I tried all the recovery tools I could find for OSX, but none could find the file -- not because it wasn't there, but because these tools are optimized to find the sorts of files the majority of users want back (photos, Word docs, etc.). They're definitely not looking for a 1KB file with an unusual file signature.

Now this next part is going to sound like a plug, but it isn't -- I don't have any connection to the developers:

The only recover tool I found that worked was one called Data Rescue by Prosoft Engineering (which I believe works for other files systems as well -- not just HFS+). It worked because it has a feature which allows you to train it to look for any file type -- even an Android key. You give it several examples. (I generated a few keys, filling in the data fields in as like manner as possible to the original). You then tell it to "deep search". If you're lucky, you'll get your key back in the "custom files" section.

For me, it was a life saver.

It's $100 to purchase, so it's not cheap, but it's worth it if you've got a mass of users and no further means of feeding them updates.

I believe they allow you 1 free file recovery in demo mode, but, unfortunately, in my case, I had several keys and could not tell which one was the one I needed without recovering them all (file names are not preserved on HFS+).

Try it first in demo mode, you may get lucky and be able to recover the key without paying anything.

May this message help someone. It's a sickening feeling, I know, but there may be relief.

Class has no initializers Swift

Quick fix - make sure all variables which do not get initialized when they are created (eg var num : Int? vs var num = 5) have either a ? or !.

Long answer (reccomended) - read the doc as per mprivat suggests...

Django template how to look up a dictionary value with a variable

Since I can't comment, let me do this in the form of an answer:
to build on culebrón's answer or Yuji 'Tomita' Tomita's answer, the dictionary passed into the function is in the form of a string, so perhaps use ast.literal_eval to convert the string to a dictionary first, like in this example.

With this edit, the code should look like this:

# code for custom template tag
@register.filter(name='lookup')
def lookup(value, arg):
    value_dict = ast.literal_eval(value)
    return value_dict.get(arg)

<!--template tag (in the template)-->
{{ mydict|lookup:item.name }}

Set max-height on inner div so scroll bars appear, but not on parent div

It might be easier to use JavaScript or jquery for this. Assuming that the height of the header and the footer is 200 then the code will be:

function SetHeight(){
    var h = $(window).height();
    $("#inner-right").height(h-200);    
}

$(document).ready(SetHeight);
$(window).resize(SetHeight);

How to cast Object to boolean?

If the object is actually a Boolean instance, then just cast it:

boolean di = (Boolean) someObject;

The explicit cast will do the conversion to Boolean, and then there's the auto-unboxing to the primitive value. Or you can do that explicitly:

boolean di = ((Boolean) someObject).booleanValue();

If someObject doesn't refer to a Boolean value though, what do you want the code to do?

Deleting multiple columns based on column names in Pandas

You can just pass the column names as a list with specifying the axis as 0 or 1

  • axis=1: Along the Rows
  • axis=0: Along the Columns
  • By default axis=0

    data.drop(["Colname1","Colname2","Colname3","Colname4"],axis=1)

What's the idiomatic syntax for prepending to a short python list?

If you can go the functional way, the following is pretty clear

new_list = [x] + your_list

Of course you haven't inserted x into your_list, rather you have created a new list with x preprended to it.

macOS on VMware doesn't recognize iOS device

I met the same problem. I found the solution in the solution from kb.vmware.com.
It works for me by adding

usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-refresh"

Detail as below:


To add quirks:
  1. Shut down the virtual machine and quit Workstation/Fusion.

    Caution: Do not skip this step.
     
  2. Open the vmware.log file within the virtual machine bundle. For more information, see Locating a virtual machine bundle in VMware Workstation/Fusion (1007599).
  3. In the Filter box at the top of the Console window, enter the name of the device manufacturer.

    For example, if you enter the name Apple, you see a line that looks similar to:

    vmx | USB: Found device [name:Apple\ IR\ Receiver vid:05ac pid:8240 path:13/7/2 speed:full family:hid]



    The line has the name of the USB device and its vid and pid information. Make a note of the vid and pid values.
     

  4. Open the .vmx file using a text editor. For more information, see Editing the .vmx file for your Workstation/Fusion virtual machine (1014782).
  5. Add this line to the .vmx file, replacing vid and pid with the values noted in Step 2, each prefixed by the number 0 and the letter x .

    usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-reset"

    For example, for the Apple device found in step 2, this line is:

    usb.quirks.device0 = "0x05ac:0x8240 skip-reset"
     

  6. Save the .vmx file.
  7. Re-open Workstation/Fusion. The edited .vmx file is reloaded with the changes.
  8. Start the virtual machine, and connect the device.
  9. If the issue is not resolved, replace the quirks line added in Step 4 with one of these lines, in the order provided, and repeat Steps 5 to 8:
usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-refresh"
usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-setconfig"
usb.quirks.device0 = "0xvid:0xpid skip-reset, skip-refresh, skip-setconfig"

Notes:

  • Use one of these lines at a time. If one does not work, replace it with another one in the list. Do not add more than one of these in the .vmx file at a time.
  • The last line uses all three quirks in combination. Use this only if the other three lines do not work.

Refer this to see in detail.

Convert or extract TTC font to TTF - how to?

You don't need any tool. Only a few clicks.

Windows 10 can handle ttc files with no problem.

You can double click the file and install it like any ttf. Then if you nead the individual ttf files you can go to C:\Windows\Fonts\Font Name and there you will findit. If you cant do this i suspect you have a corupt file.

Stopping a thread after a certain amount of time

If you want to use a class:

from datetime import datetime,timedelta

class MyThread(): 

    def __init__(self, name, timeLimit):        
        self.name = name
        self.timeLimit = timeLimit
    def run(self): 
        # get the start time
        startTime = datetime.now()
    
        while True:
           # stop if the time limit is reached :
           if((datetime.now()-startTime)>self.timeLimit):
               break
           print('A')

mt = MyThread('aThread',timedelta(microseconds=20000))
mt.run()

Hibernate Annotations - Which is better, field or property access?

I would strongly recommend field access and NOT annotations on the getters (property access) if you want to do anything more in the setters than just setting the value (e.g. Encryption or calculation).

The problem with the property access is that the setters are also called when the object is loaded. This has worked for me fine for many month until we wanted to introduce encryption. In our use case we wanted to encrypt a field in the setter and decrypt it in the getter. The problem now with property access was that when Hibernate loaded the object it was also calling the setter to populate the field and thus was encrypting the encrypted value again. This post also mentions this: Java Hibernate: Different property set function behavior depending on who is calling it

This has cause me headaches until I remembered the difference between field access and property access. Now I have moved all my annotations from property access to field access and it works fine now.

Django database query: How to get object by id?

In case you don't have some id, e.g., mysite.com/something/9182301, you can use get_object_or_404 importing by from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404.

Use example:

def myFunc(request, my_pk):
    my_var = get_object_or_404(CLASS_NAME, pk=my_pk)

Replace whole line containing a string using Sed

It is as similar to above one..

Javascript counting number of objects in object

In recent browsers you can use:

Object.keys(obj.Data).length

See MDN

For older browsers, use the for-in loop in Michael Geary's answer.

Get column index from column name in python pandas

When you might be looking to find multiple column matches, a vectorized solution using searchsorted method could be used. Thus, with df as the dataframe and query_cols as the column names to be searched for, an implementation would be -

def column_index(df, query_cols):
    cols = df.columns.values
    sidx = np.argsort(cols)
    return sidx[np.searchsorted(cols,query_cols,sorter=sidx)]

Sample run -

In [162]: df
Out[162]: 
   apple  banana  pear  orange  peach
0      8       3     4       4      2
1      4       4     3       0      1
2      1       2     6       8      1

In [163]: column_index(df, ['peach', 'banana', 'apple'])
Out[163]: array([4, 1, 0])

Add and remove attribute with jquery

 $("#page_navigation1").addClass("page_navigation");        

 $("#add").click(function(){
        $(".page_navigation").attr("id","page_navigation1");
    });     
    $("#remove").click(function(){
        $(".page_navigation").removeAttr("id");
    });     
  });

How can I beautify JSON programmatically?

Programmatic formatting solution:

The JSON.stringify method supported by many modern browsers (including IE8) can output a beautified JSON string:

JSON.stringify(jsObj, null, "\t"); // stringify with tabs inserted at each level
JSON.stringify(jsObj, null, 4);    // stringify with 4 spaces at each level
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/AndyE/HZPVL/

This method is also included with json2.js, for supporting older browsers.

Manual formatting solution

If you don't need to do it programmatically, Try JSON Lint. Not only will it prettify your JSON, it will validate it at the same time.

how to use font awesome in own css?

The spirit of Web font is to use cache as much as possible, therefore you should use CDN version between <head></head> instead of hosting yourself:

<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

Also, make sure you loaded your CSS AFTER the above line, or your custom font CSS won't work.

How to draw a line with matplotlib?

This will draw a line that passes through the points (-1, 1) and (12, 4), and another one that passes through the points (1, 3) et (10, 2)

x1 are the x coordinates of the points for the first line, y1 are the y coordinates for the same -- the elements in x1 and y1 must be in sequence.

x2 and y2 are the same for the other line.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x1, y1 = [-1, 12], [1, 4]
x2, y2 = [1, 10], [3, 2]
plt.plot(x1, y1, x2, y2, marker = 'o')
plt.show()

enter image description here

I suggest you spend some time reading / studying the basic tutorials found on the very rich matplotlib website to familiarize yourself with the library.

What if I don't want line segments?

There are no direct ways to have lines extend to infinity... matplotlib will either resize/rescale the plot so that the furthest point will be on the boundary and the other inside, drawing line segments in effect; or you must choose points outside of the boundary of the surface you want to set visible, and set limits for the x and y axis.

As follows:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x1, y1 = [-1, 12], [1, 10]
x2, y2 = [-1, 10], [3, -1]
plt.xlim(0, 8), plt.ylim(-2, 8)
plt.plot(x1, y1, x2, y2, marker = 'o')
plt.show()

Type datetime for input parameter in procedure

You should use the ISO-8601 format for string representations of dates - anything else is dependent on the SQL Server language and dateformat settings.

The ISO-8601 format for a DATETIME when using only the date is: YYYYMMDD (no dashes or antyhing!)

For a DATETIME with the time portion, it's YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (with dashes, and a T in the middle to separate date and time portions).

If you want to convert a string to a DATE for SQL Server 2008 or newer, you can use YYYY-MM-DD (with the dashes) to achieve the same result. And don't ask me why this is so inconsistent and confusing - it just is, and you'll have to work with that for now.

So in your case, you should try:

declare @a datetime
declare @b datetime 

set @a = '2012-04-06T12:23:45'   -- 6th of April, 2012
set @b = '2012-08-06T21:10:12'   -- 6th of August, 2012

exec LogProcedure 'AccountLog', N'test', @a, @b

Furthermore - your stored proc has problem, since you're concatenating together datetime and string into a string, but you're not converting the datetime to string first, and also, you're forgetting the close quotes in your statement after both dates.

So change this line here to this:

IF @DateFirst <> '' and @DateLast <> ''
   SET @FinalSQL  = @FinalSQL + '  OR CONVERT(Date, DateLog) >= ''' + 
                    CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), @DateFirst, 126) +   -- convert @DateFirst to string for concatenation!
                    ''' AND CONVERT(Date, DateLog) <=''' +  -- you need closing quotes after @DateFirst!
                    CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), @DateLast, 126) + ''''      -- convert @DateLast to string and also: closing tags after that missing!

With these settings, and once you've fixed your stored procedure which contains problems right now, it will work.

Switch between python 2.7 and python 3.5 on Mac OS X

OSX's Python binary (version 2) is located at /usr/bin/python

if you use which python it will tell you where the python command is being resolved to. Typically, what happens is third parties redefine things in /usr/local/bin (which takes precedence, by default over /usr/bin). To fix, you can either run /usr/bin/python directly to use 2.x or find the errant redefinition (probably in /usr/local/bin or somewhere else in your PATH)

How can I check if a user is logged-in in php?

You need this on all pages before you check for current sessions:

session_start();

Check if $_SESSION["loggedIn"] (is not) true - If not, redirect them to the login page.

if($_SESSION["loggedIn"] != true){
    echo 'not logged in';
    header("Location: login.php");
    exit;
}

Using Tempdata in ASP.NET MVC - Best practice

Please note that MVC 3 onwards the persistence behavior of TempData has changed, now the value in TempData is persisted until it is read, and not just for the next request.

The value of TempData persists until it is read or until the session times out. Persisting TempData in this way enables scenarios such as redirection, because the values in TempData are available beyond a single request. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/dd394711%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

printf() formatting for hex

You could always use "%p" in order to display 8 bit hex numbers.

int main (void)
{

    b=a<<28;
    printf("%p", b);
    return 0;
}

Output:

Custom events in jQuery?

The link provided in the accepted answer shows a nice way to implement the pub/sub system using jQuery, but I found the code somewhat difficult to read, so here is my simplified version of the code:

http://jsfiddle.net/tFw89/5/

$(document).on('testEvent', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  subscribers = $('.subscribers-testEvent');
  subscribers.trigger('testEventHandler', [eventInfo]);
});

$('#myButton').on('click', function() {
  $(document).trigger('testEvent', [1011]);
});

$('#notifier1').on('testEventHandler', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  alert('(notifier1)The value of eventInfo is: ' + eventInfo);
});

$('#notifier2').on('testEventHandler', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  alert('(notifier2)The value of eventInfo is: ' + eventInfo);
});

jQuery iframe load() event?

You may use the jquery's Contents method to get the content of the iframe.

What is IPV6 for localhost and 0.0.0.0?

As we all know that IPv4 address for localhost is 127.0.0.1 (loopback address).

Actually, any IPv4 address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a loopback address.

In IPv6, the direct analog of the loopback range is ::1/128. So ::1 (long form 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) is the one and only IPv6 loopback address.


While the hostname localhost will normally resolve to 127.0.0.1 or ::1, I have seen cases where someone has bound it to an IP address that is not a loopback address. This is a bit crazy ... but sometimes people do it.

I say "this is crazy" because you are liable to break applications assumptions by doing this; e.g. an application may attempt to do a reverse lookup on the loopback IP and not get the expected result. In the worst case, an application may end up sending sensitive traffic over an insecure network by accident ... though you probably need to make other mistakes as well to "achieve" that.


Blocking 0.0.0.0 makes no sense. In IPv4 it is never routed. The equivalent in IPv6 is the :: address (long form 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) ... which is also never routed.

The 0.0.0.0 and :: addresses are reserved to mean "any address". So, for example a program that is providing a web service may bind to 0.0.0.0 port 80 to accept HTTP connections via any of the host's IPv4 addresses. These addresses are not valid as a source or destination address for an IP packet.


Finally, some comments were asking about ::/128 versus ::/0 versus ::.

What is this difference?

Strictly speaking, the first two are CIDR notation not IPv6 addresses. They are actually specifying a range of IP addresses. A CIDR consists of a IP address and an additional number that specifies the number of bits in a netmask. The two together specify a range of addresses; i.e. the set of addresses formed by ignoring the bits masked out of the given address.

So:

  • :: means just the IPv6 address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0
  • ::/128 means 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 with a netmask consisting of 128 bits. This gives a network range with exactly one address in it.
  • ::/0 means 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 with a netmask consisting of 0 bits. This gives a network range with 2128 addresses in it.; i.e. it is the entire IPv6 address space!

For more information, read the Wikipedia pages on IPv4 & IPv6 addresses, and CIDR notation:

Can't compare naive and aware datetime.now() <= challenge.datetime_end

By default, the datetime object is naive in Python, so you need to make both of them either naive or aware datetime objects. This can be done using:

import datetime
import pytz

utc=pytz.UTC

challenge.datetime_start = utc.localize(challenge.datetime_start) 
challenge.datetime_end = utc.localize(challenge.datetime_end) 
# now both the datetime objects are aware, and you can compare them

Note: This would raise a ValueError if tzinfo is already set. If you are not sure about that, just use

start_time = challenge.datetime_start.replace(tzinfo=utc)
end_time = challenge.datetime_end.replace(tzinfo=utc)

BTW, you could format a UNIX timestamp in datetime.datetime object with timezone info as following

d = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(int(unix_timestamp))
d_with_tz = datetime.datetime(
    year=d.year,
    month=d.month,
    day=d.day,
    hour=d.hour,
    minute=d.minute,
    second=d.second,
    tzinfo=pytz.UTC)

Show hidden div on ng-click within ng-repeat

Remove the display:none, and use ng-show instead:

<ul class="procedures">
    <li ng-repeat="procedure in procedures | filter:query | orderBy:orderProp">
        <h4><a href="#" ng-click="showDetails = ! showDetails">{{procedure.definition}}</a></h4>
         <div class="procedure-details" ng-show="showDetails">
            <p>Number of patient discharges: {{procedure.discharges}}</p>
            <p>Average amount covered by Medicare: {{procedure.covered}}</p>
            <p>Average total payments: {{procedure.payments}}</p>
         </div>
    </li>
</ul>

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/asmKj/


You can also use ng-class to toggle a class:

<div class="procedure-details" ng-class="{ 'hidden': ! showDetails }">

I like this more, since it allows you to do some nice transitions: http://jsfiddle.net/asmKj/1/

How to get the last char of a string in PHP?

I'd advise to go for Gordon's solution as it is more performant than substr():

<?php 

$string = 'abcdef';
$repetitions = 10000000;

echo "\n\n";
echo "----------------------------------\n";
echo $repetitions . " repetitions...\n";
echo "----------------------------------\n";
echo "\n\n";

$start = microtime(true);
for($i=0; $i<$repetitions; $i++)
    $x = substr($string, -1);

echo "substr() took " . (microtime(true) - $start) . "seconds\n";

$start = microtime(true);
for($i=0; $i<$repetitions; $i++)
    $x = $string[strlen($string)-1];

echo "array access took " . (microtime(true) - $start) . "seconds\n";

die();

outputs something like

 ---------------------------------- 
 10000000 repetitions...
 ----------------------------------

 substr() took 2.0285921096802seconds 
 array access took 1.7474739551544seconds

Equivalent of typedef in C#

No, there's no true equivalent of typedef. You can use 'using' directives within one file, e.g.

using CustomerList = System.Collections.Generic.List<Customer>;

but that will only impact that source file. In C and C++, my experience is that typedef is usually used within .h files which are included widely - so a single typedef can be used over a whole project. That ability does not exist in C#, because there's no #include functionality in C# that would allow you to include the using directives from one file in another.

Fortunately, the example you give does have a fix - implicit method group conversion. You can change your event subscription line to just:

gcInt.MyEvent += gcInt_MyEvent;

:)

How do I keep a label centered in WinForms?

The accepted answer didn't work for me for two reasons:

  1. I had BackColor set so setting AutoSize = false and Dock = Fill causes the background color to fill the whole form
  2. I couldn't have AutoSize set to false anyway because my label text was dynamic

Instead, I simply used the form's width and the width of the label to calculate the left offset:

MyLabel.Left = (this.Width - MyLabel.Width) / 2;

How to echo xml file in php

You can use the asXML method

echo $xml->asXML();

You can also give it a filename

$xml->asXML('filename.xml');

How to check if a directory containing a file exist?

EDIT: as of Java8 you'd better use Files class:

Path resultingPath = Files.createDirectories('A/B');

I don't know if this ultimately fixes your problem but class File has method mkdirs() which fully creates the path specified by the file.

File f = new File("/A/B/");
f.mkdirs();

Populating VBA dynamic arrays

in your for loop use a Redim on the array like here:

For i = 0 to 3
  ReDim Preserve test(i)
  test(i) = 3 + i
Next i

javac not working in windows command prompt

I was having the same problem posted in this title. Java would work, but javac would not in the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe).

For me, it was simply that I had placed a space when adding C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin to the end of my %PATH% environment variable.
Remove the space between the ; and the next file path.

What is the path that Django uses for locating and loading templates?

Alright Let's say you have a brand new project, if so you would go to settings.py file and search for TEMPLATES once you found it you just paste this line os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'template') in 'DIRS' At the end, you should get somethings like this :

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [
            os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'template')
        ],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

If you want to know where your BASE_DIR directory is located type these 3 simple commands:

python3 manage.py shell

Once you're in the shell :

>>> from django.conf import settings
>>> settings.BASE_DIR

PS: If you named your template folder with another name, you would change it here too.

How do I remove all non alphanumeric characters from a string except dash?

I use a variation of one of the answers here. I want to replace spaces with "-" so its SEO friendly and also make lower case. Also not reference system.web from my services layer.

private string MakeUrlString(string input)
{
    var array = input.ToCharArray();

    array = Array.FindAll<char>(array, c => char.IsLetterOrDigit(c) || char.IsWhiteSpace(c) || c == '-');

    var newString = new string(array).Replace(" ", "-").ToLower();
    return newString;
}

Angular redirect to login page

Usage with the final router

With the introduction of the new router it became easier to guard the routes. You must define a guard, which acts as a service, and add it to the route.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate } from '@angular/router';
import { UserService } from '../../auth';

@Injectable()
export class LoggedInGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(user: UserService) {
    this._user = user;
  }

  canActivate() {
    return this._user.isLoggedIn();
  }
}

Now pass the LoggedInGuard to the route and also add it to the providers array of the module.

import { LoginComponent } from './components/login.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './components/home.component';
import { LoggedInGuard } from './guards/loggedin.guard';

const routes = [
    { path: '', component: HomeComponent, canActivate: [LoggedInGuard] },
    { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];

The module declaration:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, HomeComponent, LoginComponent]
  imports: [HttpModule, BrowserModule, RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  providers: [UserService, LoggedInGuard],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
class AppModule {}

Usage with the deprecated router

A more robust solution is to extend the RouterOutlet and when activating a route check if the user is logged in. This way you don't have to copy and paste your directive to every component. Plus redirecting based on a subcomponent can be misleading.

@Directive({
  selector: 'router-outlet'
})
export class LoggedInRouterOutlet extends RouterOutlet {
  publicRoutes: Array;
  private parentRouter: Router;
  private userService: UserService;

  constructor(
    _elementRef: ElementRef, _loader: DynamicComponentLoader,
    _parentRouter: Router, @Attribute('name') nameAttr: string,
    userService: UserService
  ) {
    super(_elementRef, _loader, _parentRouter, nameAttr);

    this.parentRouter = _parentRouter;
    this.userService = userService;
    this.publicRoutes = [
      '', 'login', 'signup'
    ];
  }

  activate(instruction: ComponentInstruction) {
    if (this._canActivate(instruction.urlPath)) {
      return super.activate(instruction);
    }

    this.parentRouter.navigate(['Login']);
  }

  _canActivate(url) {
    return this.publicRoutes.indexOf(url) !== -1 || this.userService.isLoggedIn()
  }
}

The UserService stands for the place where your business logic resides whether the user is logged in or not. You can add it easily with DI in the constructor.

When the user navigates to a new url on your website, the activate method is called with the current Instruction. From it you can grab the url and decide whether it is allowed or not. If not just redirect to the login page.

One last thing remain to make it work, is to pass it to our main component instead of the built in one.

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  directives: [LoggedInRouterOutlet],
  template: template
})
@RouteConfig(...)
export class AppComponent { }

This solution can not be used with the @CanActive lifecycle decorator, because if the function passed to it resolves false, the activate method of the RouterOutlet won't be called.

Also wrote a detailed blog post about it: https://medium.com/@blacksonic86/authentication-in-angular-2-958052c64492

How to use the CancellationToken property?

You can use ThrowIfCancellationRequested without handling the exception!

The use of ThrowIfCancellationRequested is meant to be used from within a Task (not a Thread). When used within a Task, you do not have to handle the exception yourself (and get the Unhandled Exception error). It will result in leaving the Task, and the Task.IsCancelled property will be True. No exception handling needed.

In your specific case, change the Thread to a Task.

Task t = null;
try
{
    t = Task.Run(() => Work(cancelSource.Token), cancelSource.Token);
}

if (t.IsCancelled)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Canceled!");
}

User GETDATE() to put current date into SQL variable

Just use GetDate() not Select GetDate()

DECLARE @LastChangeDate as date 
SET @LastChangeDate = GETDATE() 

but if it's SQL Server, you can also initialize in same step as declaration...

DECLARE @LastChangeDate date = getDate()

Best way to check if MySQL results returned in PHP?

Whenever we do queries to get some data, it is returned as an object. Then most of us convert it to array for looping through the rows easily. In php "empty()" function is used to check if an array is empty i.e. if it has no data in it. So we can check if returned array representation of query isn't empty by doing like this

if(!empty($result)){
           //DO STUFF
}

C# Switch-case string starting with

If all the cases have the same length you can use
switch (mystring.SubString(0,Math.Min(len, mystring.Length))).
Another option is to have a function that will return categoryId based on the string and switch on the id.

Loading and parsing a JSON file with multiple JSON objects

That is ill-formatted. You have one JSON object per line, but they are not contained in a larger data structure (ie an array). You'll either need to reformat it so that it begins with [ and ends with ] with a comma at the end of each line, or parse it line by line as separate dictionaries.

How to register multiple servlets in web.xml in one Spring application

As explained in this thread on the cxf-user mailing list, rather than having the CXFServlet load its own spring context from user-webservice-servlet.xml, you can just load the whole lot into the root context. Rename your existing user-webservice-servlet.xml to some other name (e.g. user-webservice-beans.xml) then change your contextConfigLocation parameter to something like:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<context-param>
  <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
  <param-value>
    /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
    /WEB-INF/user-webservice-beans.xml
  </param-value>
</context-param>

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>user-webservice</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>user-webservice</servlet-name>

WCF Service Client: The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding

I had a similar situation, but the client config was using a basicHttpBinding. The issue turned out to be that the service was using SOAP 1.2 and you can't specify SOAP 1.2 in a basicHttpBinding. I modified the client config to use a customBinding instead and everything worked. Here are the details of my customBinding for reference. The service I was trying to consume was over HTTPS using UserNameOverTransport.

<customBinding>
    <binding name="myBindingNameHere" sendTimeout="00:03:00">
        <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" includeTimestamp="false">

Python dictionary: are keys() and values() always the same order?

Yes. Starting with CPython 3.6, dictionaries return items in the order you inserted them.

Ignore the part that says this is an implementation detail. This behaviour is guaranteed in CPython 3.6 and is required for all other Python implementations starting with Python 3.7.

How to check if "Radiobutton" is checked?

You can use switch like this:

XML Layout

<RadioGroup
            android:id="@+id/RG"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/R1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_contnet"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="R1" />

            <RadioButton
                android:id="@+id/R2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_contnet"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="R2" />
</RadioGroup>

And JAVA Activity

switch (RG.getCheckedRadioButtonId()) {
        case R.id.R1:
            regAuxiliar = ultimoRegistro;
        case R.id.R2:
            regAuxiliar = objRegistro;
        default:
            regAuxiliar = null; // none selected
    }

You will also need to implement an onClick function with button or setOnCheckedChangeListener function to get required functionality.

Squash the first two commits in Git?

I've reworked VonC's script to do everything automatically and not ask me for anything. You give it two commit SHA1s and it will squash everything between them into one commit named "squashed history":

#!/bin/sh
# Go back to the last commit that we want
# to form the initial commit (detach HEAD)
git checkout $2

# reset the branch pointer to the initial commit (= $1),
# but leaving the index and working tree intact.
git reset --soft $1

# amend the initial tree using the tree from $2
git commit --amend -m "squashed history"

# remember the new commit sha1
TARGET=`git rev-list HEAD --max-count=1`

# go back to the original branch (assume master for this example)
git checkout master

# Replay all the commits after $2 onto the new initial commit
git rebase --onto $TARGET $2

No module named pkg_resources

the simple resoluition is that you can use conda to upgrade setuptools or entire enviroment. (Specially for windows user.)

conda upgrade -c anaconda setuptools

if the setuptools is removed, you need to install setuptools again.

conda install -c anaconda setuptools

if these all methodes doesn't work, you can upgrade conda environement. But I do not recommend that you need to reinstall and uninstall some packages because after that it will exacerbate the situation.

Need to get a string after a "word" in a string in c#

add this code to your project

  public static class Extension {
        public static string TextAfter(this string value ,string search) {

        }
  }

then use

"code : string text ".TextAfter(":")

How do I write a for loop in bash

I commonly like to use a slight variant on the standard for loop. I often use this to run a command on a series of remote hosts. I take advantage of bash's brace expansion to create for loops that allow me to create non-numerical for-loops.

Example:

I want to run the uptime command on frontend hosts 1-5 and backend hosts 1-3:

% for host in {frontend{1..5},backend{1..3}}.mycompany.com
    do ssh $host "echo -n $host; uptime"
  done

I typically run this as a single-line command with semicolons on the ends of the lines instead of the more readable version above. The key usage consideration are that braces allow you to specify multiple values to be inserted into a string (e.g. pre{foo,bar}post results in prefoopost, prebarpost) and allow counting/sequences by using the double periods (you can use a..z etc.). However, the double period syntax is a new feature of bash 3.0; earlier versions will not support this.

What are type hints in Python 3.5?

Type hints are for maintainability and don't get interpreted by Python. In the code below, the line def add(self, ic:int) doesn't result in an error until the next return... line:

        self.idn = 1
    def add(self, ic: int):
        return self.idn + ic

c1 = C1()
c1.add(2)

c1.add(c1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Get data from file input in JQuery

I created a form data object and appended the file:

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="video"; filename="Wildlife.wmv"
Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv

in the headers sent. I can confirm this works because my file was sent and stored in a folder on my server. If you don't know how to use the FormData object there is some documentation online, but not much. Form Data Object Explination by Mozilla

Is there a way to force npm to generate package-lock.json?

As several answer explained the you should run:

npm i

BUT if it does not solve...

Check the version of your npm executable. (For me it was 3.x.x which doesn't uses the package-lock.json (at all))

npm -v

It should be at least 5.x.x (which introduced the package-lock.json file.)

To update npm on Linux, follow these instructions.

For more details about package files, please read this medium story.

How to get parameters from a URL string?

Use the parse_url() and parse_str() methods. parse_url() will parse a URL string into an associative array of its parts. Since you only want a single part of the URL, you can use a shortcut to return a string value with just the part you want. Next, parse_str() will create variables for each of the parameters in the query string. I don't like polluting the current context, so providing a second parameter puts all the variables into an associative array.

$url = "https://mysite.com/test/[email protected]&testin=123";
$query_str = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
parse_str($query_str, $query_params);
print_r($query_params);

//Output: Array ( [email] => [email protected] [testin] => 123 ) 

Django CSRF Cookie Not Set

If you're using the HTML5 Fetch API to make POST requests as a logged in user and getting Forbidden (CSRF cookie not set.), it could be because by default fetch does not include session cookies, resulting in Django thinking you're a different user than the one who loaded the page.

You can include the session token by passing the option credentials: 'include' to fetch:

var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append('X-CSRFToken', csrftoken);
fetch('/api/upload', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: payload,
    headers: headers,
    credentials: 'include'
})

How does OAuth 2 protect against things like replay attacks using the Security Token?

This is a gem:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-oauth-2

Very brief summary:

OAuth defines four roles:

  1. Resource Owner
  2. Client
  3. Resource Server
  4. Authorization Server

You (Resource Owner) have a mobile phone. You have several different email accounts, but you want all your email accounts in one app, so you don't need to keep switching. So your GMail (Client) asks for access (via Yahoo's Authorization Server) to your Yahoo emails (Resource Server) so you can read both emails on your GMail application.

The reason OAuth exists is because it is unsecure for GMail to store your Yahoo username and password.

Selecting Values from Oracle Table Variable / Array?

You might need a GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE.

In Oracle these are created once and then when invoked the data is private to your session.

How do I refresh the page in ASP.NET? (Let it reload itself by code)

You can't do that. If you use a redirect (or any other server technique) you will never send the actual page to the browser, only redirection pages.

You have to either use a meta tag or JavaScript to do this, so that you can reload the page after it has been displayed for a while:

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), "refresh", "window.setTimeout('window.location.reload(true);',5000);", true);

how to make UITextView height dynamic according to text length?

    arg.scrollEnabled = false
}

In Swift 4 the syntax of arg.scrollEnabled = false has changed to arg.isScrollEnabled = false.

I was having a situation in ASP.NET 4.0 where my session would be reset on every page request (and my SESSION_START code would run on each page request). This didn't happen to every user for every session, but it usually happened, and when it did, it would happen on each page request.

My web.config sessionState tag had the same setting as the one mentioned above.

cookieless="false"

When I changed it to the following...

cookieless="UseCookies"

... the problem seemed to go away. Apparently true|false were old choices from ASP.NET 1. Starting in ASP.Net 2.0, the enumerated choices started being available. I guess these options were deprecated. The "false" value has never presented a problem in the past - I've only noticed in on ASP.NET 4.0. I don't know if something has changed in 4.0 that no longer supports it correctly.

Also, I just found this out not long ago. Since the problem was intermittent before, I suppose I could still encounter it, but so far it's working with this new setting.

Android: How to Enable/Disable Wifi or Internet Connection Programmatically

A complete solution:

try {
    WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) 
        context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

    WifiConfiguration wc = new WifiConfiguration();
    wc.SSID = "\"SSIDName\"";
    wc.preSharedKey  = "\"password\"";
    wc.hiddenSSID = true;
    wc.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED; 

    wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
    wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
    wc.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);

    wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers
        .set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
    wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers
        .set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
    wc.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);

    boolean b=wifi.isWifiEnabled();
    if (b) {
        wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);
        Toast.makeText(context, "yes", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
        Toast.makeText(context, "no", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    //Log.d("WifiPreference", "enableNetwork returned " + b );

} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
