How to convert timestamps to dates in Bash?

In OSX, or BSD, there's an equivalent -r flag which apparently takes a unix timestamp. Here's an example that runs date four times: once for the first date, to show what it is; one for the conversion to unix timestamp with %s, and finally, one which, with -r, converts what %s provides back to a string.

$  date; date +%s; date -r `date +%s`

How to get function parameter names/values dynamically?

I don't know if this solution suits your problem, but it lets you redefine whatever function you want, without having to change code that uses it. Existing calls will use positioned params, while the function implementation may use "named params" (a single hash param).

I thought that you will anyway modify existing function definitions so, why not having a factory function that makes just what you want:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var withNamedParams = function(params, lambda) {
    return function() {
        var named = {};
        var max   = arguments.length;

        for (var i=0; i<max; i++) {
            named[params[i]] = arguments[i];
        }

        return lambda(named);
    };
};

var foo = withNamedParams(["a", "b", "c"], function(params) {
    for (var param in params) {
        alert(param + ": " + params[param]);
    }
});

foo(1, 2, 3);
</script>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Hope it helps.

What is PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait type in SQL Server?

PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait type usually comes up as the result of fragmented or unoptimized index.

Often reasons for excessive PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait type are:

I/O subsystem has a problem or is misconfigured
Overloaded I/O subsystem by other processes that are producing the high I/O activity
Bad index management
Logical or physical drive misconception
Network issues/latency
Memory pressure
Synchronous Mirroring and AlwaysOn AG

In order to try and resolve having high PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait type, you can check:

SQL Server, queries and indexes, as very often this could be found as a root cause of the excessive PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait types
For memory pressure before jumping into any I/O subsystem troubleshooting

Always keep in mind that in case of high safety Mirroring or synchronous-commit availability in AlwaysOn AG, increased/excessive PAGEIOLATCH_SH can be expected.

You can find more details about this topic in the article Handling excessive SQL Server PAGEIOLATCH_SH wait types

How to turn off Wifi via ADB?

This works as of android 7.1.1, non-rooted

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings && adb shell input keyevent 23 && adb shell input keyevent 23

This will launch the activity and then send the DPAD center keyevent. I added another DPAD center as an experiment to see if you can enable it in the same way.

How to get and set the current web page scroll position?

The currently accepted answer is incorrect - document.documentElement.scrollTop always returns 0 on Chrome. This is because WebKit uses body for keeping track of scrolling, whereas Firefox and IE use html.

To get the current position, you want:

document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop

You can set the current position to 1000px down the page like so:

document.documentElement.scrollTop = document.body.scrollTop = 1000;

Or, using jQuery (animate it while you're at it!):

$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: "1000px" });

What is the size limit of a post request?

Circle button css

The problem is that the actual width of an a tag depends on its contents. Your code has no text in the a tag, so it appears like a hunger-sunken circle. If you use the div tag along the a, you get the desired results.

Check this code out:

_x000D_

.btn {
  background-color: green;
  border-radius: 50%;
  /*this will rounden-up the button*/
  width: 80px;
  height: 80px;
  /*keep the height and width equal*/
}

How to serve an image using nodejs

I agree with the other posters that eventually, you should use a framework, such as Express.. but first you should also understand how to do something fundamental like this without a library, to really understand what the library abstracts away for you.. The steps are

Parse the incoming HTTP request, to see which path the user is asking for
Add a pathway in conditional statement for the server to respond to
If the image is requested, read the image file from the disk.
Serve the image content-type in a header
Serve the image contents in the body

The code would look something like this (not tested)

fs = require('fs');
http = require('http');
url = require('url');


http.createServer(function(req, res){
  var request = url.parse(req.url, true);
  var action = request.pathname;

  if (action == '/logo.gif') {
     var img = fs.readFileSync('./logo.gif');
     res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'image/gif' });
     res.end(img, 'binary');
  } else { 
     res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
     res.end('Hello World \n');
  }
}).listen(8080, '127.0.0.1');

How do I create JavaScript array (JSON format) dynamically?

What I do is something just a little bit different from @Chase answer:

var employees = {};

// ...and then:
employees.accounting = new Array();

for (var i = 0; i < someArray.length; i++) {
    var temp_item = someArray[i];

    // Maybe, here make something like:
    // temp_item.name = 'some value'

    employees.accounting.push({
        "firstName" : temp_item.firstName,
        "lastName"  : temp_item.lastName,
        "age"       : temp_item.age
    });
}

And that work form me!

I hope it could be useful for some body else!

Is there a CSS selector by class prefix?

It's not doable with CSS2.1, but it is possible with CSS3 attribute substring-matching selectors (which are supported in IE7+):

div[class^="status-"], div[class*=" status-"]

Notice the space character in the second attribute selector. This picks up div elements whose class attribute meets either of these conditions:

[class^="status-"] — starts with "status-"
[class*=" status-"] — contains the substring "status-" occurring directly after a space character. Class names are separated by whitespace per the HTML spec, hence the significant space character. This checks any other classes after the first if multiple classes are specified, and adds a bonus of checking the first class in case the attribute value is space-padded (which can happen with some applications that output class attributes dynamically).

Naturally, this also works in jQuery, as demonstrated here.

The reason you need to combine two attribute selectors as described above is because an attribute selector such as [class*="status-"] will match the following element, which may be undesirable:

<div id='D' class='foo-class foo-status-bar bar-class'></div>

If you can ensure that such a scenario will never happen, then you are free to use such a selector for the sake of simplicity. However, the combination above is much more robust.

If you have control over the HTML source or the application generating the markup, it may be simpler to just make the status- prefix its own status class instead as Gumbo suggests.

jQuery when element becomes visible

Tried this on firefox, works http://jsfiddle.net/Tm26Q/1/

$(function(){
 /** Just to mimic a blinking box on the page**/
  setInterval(function(){$("div#box").hide();},2001);
  setInterval(function(){$("div#box").show();},1000);
 /**/
});

$("div#box").on("DOMAttrModified",
function(){if($(this).is(":visible"))console.log("visible");});

UPDATE

Currently the Mutation Events (like DOMAttrModified used in the solution) are replaced by MutationObserver, You can use that to detect DOM node changes like in the above case.

Setting Windows PowerShell environment variables

Although the current accepted answer works in the sense that the path variable gets permanently updated from the context of PowerShell, it doesn't actually update the environment variable stored in the Windows registry.

To achieve that, you can obviously use PowerShell as well:

$oldPath=(Get-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -Name PATH).Path

$newPath=$oldPath+’;C:\NewFolderToAddToTheList\’

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' -Name PATH –Value $newPath

More information is in blog post Use PowerShell to Modify Your Environmental Path

If you use PowerShell community extensions, the proper command to add a path to the environment variable path is:

Add-PathVariable "C:\NewFolderToAddToTheList" -Target Machine

How to split a string between letters and digits (or between digits and letters)?

If you are looking for solution without using Java String functionality (i.e. split, match, etc.) then the following should help:

List<String> splitString(String string) {
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        String token = "";
        char curr;
        for (int e = 0; e < string.length() + 1; e++) {
            if (e == 0)
                curr = string.charAt(0);
            else {
                curr = string.charAt(--e);
            }

            if (isNumber(curr)) {
                while (e < string.length() && isNumber(string.charAt(e))) {
                    token += string.charAt(e++);
                }
                list.add(token);
                token = "";
            } else {
                while (e < string.length() && !isNumber(string.charAt(e))) {
                    token += string.charAt(e++);
                }
                list.add(token);
                token = "";
            }

        }

        return list;
    }

boolean isNumber(char c) {
        return c >= '0' && c <= '9';
    }

This solution will split numbers and 'words', where 'words' are strings that don't contain numbers. However, if you like to have only 'words' containing English letters then you can easily modify it by adding more conditions (like isNumber method call) depending on your requirements (for example you may wish to skip words that contain non English letters). Also note that the splitString method returns ArrayList which later can be converted to String array.

javascript filter array of objects

The most straightforward and readable approach will be the usage of native javascript filter method.

Native javaScript filter takes a declarative approach in filtering array elements. Since it is a method defined on Array.prototype, it iterates on a provided array and invokes a callback on it. This callback, which acts as our filtering function, takes three parameters:

element — the current item in the array being iterated over

index — the index or location of the current element in the array that is being iterated over

array — the original array that the filter method was applied on Let’s use this filter method in an example. Note that the filter can be applied on any sort of array. In this example, we are going to filter an array of objects based on an object property.

An example of filtering an array of objects based on object properties could look something like this:

// Please do not hate me for bashing on pizza and burgers.
// and FYI, I totally made up the healthMetric param :)
let foods = [
  { type: "pizza", healthMetric: 25 },
  { type: "burger", healthMetric: 10 },
  { type: "salad", healthMetric: 60 },
  { type: "apple", healthMetric: 82 }
];
let isHealthy = food => food.healthMetric >= 50;

const result = foods.filter(isHealthy);

console.log(result.map(food => food.type));
// Result: ['salad', 'apple']

How do you implement a class in C?

C isn't an OOP language, as your rightly point out, so there's no built-in way to write a true class. You're best bet is to look at structs, and function pointers, these will let you build an approximation of a class. However, as C is procedural you might want to consider writing more C-like code (i.e. without trying to use classes).

Also, if you can use C, you can probally use C++ and get classes.

exit application when click button - iOS

exit(X), where X is a number (according to the doc) should work. But it is not recommended by Apple and won't be accepted by the AppStore. Why? Because of these guidelines (one of my app got rejected):

We found that your app includes a UI control for quitting the app. This is not in compliance with the iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.

Please refer to the attached screenshot/s for reference.

The iOS Human Interface Guidelines specify,

"Always Be Prepared to Stop iOS applications stop when people press the Home button to open a different application or use a device feature, such as the phone. In particular, people don’t tap an application close button or select Quit from a menu. To provide a good stopping experience, an iOS application should:

Save user data as soon as possible and as often as reasonable because an exit or terminate notification can arrive at any time.

Save the current state when stopping, at the finest level of detail possible so that people don’t lose their context when they start the application again. For example, if your app displays scrolling data, save the current scroll position."

> It would be appropriate to remove any mechanisms for quitting your app.

Plus, if you try to hide that function, it would be understood by the user as a crash.

How to sort a file, based on its numerical values for a field?

make image( not background img) in div repeat?

Not with CSS you can't. You need to use JS. A quick example copying the img to the background:

var $el = document.getElementById( 'rightflower' )
  , $img = $el.getElementsByTagName( 'img' )[0]
  , src  = $img.src

$el.innerHTML = "";
$el.style.background = "url( " + src + " ) repeat-y;"

Or you can actually repeat the image, but how many times?

var $el = document.getElementById( 'rightflower' )
  , str = ""
  , imgHTML = $el.innerHTML
  , i, i2;
for( i=0,i2=10; i<i2; i++ ){
    str += imgHTML;
}
$el.innerHTML = str;

jQuery table sort

My answer would be "be careful". A lot of jQuery table-sorting add-ons only sort what you pass to the browser. In many cases, you have to keep in mind that tables are dynamic sets of data, and could potentially contain zillions of lines of data.

You do mention that you only have 4 columns, but much more importantly, you don't mention how many rows we're talking about here.

If you pass 5000 lines to the browser from the database, knowing that the actual database-table contains 100,000 rows, my question is: what's the point in making the table sortable? In order to do a proper sort, you'd have to send the query back to the database, and let the database (a tool actually designed to sort data) do the sorting for you.

In direct answer to your question though, the best sorting add-on I've come across is Ingrid. There are many reasons that I don't like this add-on ("unnecessary bells and whistles..." as you call it), but one of it's best features in terms of sort, is that it uses ajax, and doesn't assume that you've already passed it all the data before it does its sort.

I recognise that this answer is probably overkill (and over 2 years late) for your requirements, but I do get annoyed when developers in my field overlook this point. So I hope someone else picks up on it.

I feel better now.

How to rename HTML "browse" button of an input type=file?

Wrap the <input type="file"> with a <label> tag;

Make input[type="file"] invisible via display: none.

Sort Dictionary by keys

Swift 2.0

Updated version of Ivica M's answer:

let wordDict = [
     "A" : [1, 2],
     "Z" : [3, 4],
     "D" : [5, 6]
]

let sortedDict = wordDict.sort { $0.0 < $1.0 }
print("\(sortedDict)") //

Swift 3

wordDict.sorted(by: { $0.0 < $1.0 })

Notice:

Don't be surprised that the resulting type is an array rather than a dictionary. Dictionaries cannot be sorted! The resulting data-type is a sorted array, just like in @Ivica's answer.

JavaScript null check

In JavaScript, null is a special singleton object which is helpful for signaling "no value". You can test for it by comparison and, as usual in JavaScript, it's a good practice to use the === operator to avoid confusing type coercion:

var a = null;
alert(a === null); // true

As @rynah mentions, "undefined" is a bit confusing in JavaScript. However, it's always safe to test if the typeof(x) is the string "undefined", even if "x" is not a declared variable:

alert(typeof(x) === 'undefined'); // true

Also, variables can have the "undefined value" if they are not initialized:

var y;
alert(typeof(y) === 'undefined'); // true

Putting it all together, your check should look like this:

if ((typeof(data) !== 'undefined') && (data !== null)) {
  // ...

However, since the variable "data" is always defined since it is a formal function parameter, using the "typeof" operator is unnecessary and you can safely compare directly with the "undefined value".

function(data) {
  if ((data !== undefined) && (data !== null)) {
    // ...

This snippet amounts to saying "if the function was called with an argument which is defined and is not null..."

How do I clear a search box with an 'x' in bootstrap 3?

To get something like this

input with clear button

with Bootstrap 3 and Jquery use the following HTML code:

<div class="btn-group">
  <input id="searchinput" type="search" class="form-control">
  <span id="searchclear" class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"></span>
</div>

and some CSS:

#searchinput {
    width: 200px;
}
#searchclear {
    position: absolute;
    right: 5px;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    height: 14px;
    margin: auto;
    font-size: 14px;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #ccc;
}

and Javascript:

$("#searchclear").click(function(){
    $("#searchinput").val('');
});

Of course you have to write more Javascript for whatever functionality you need, e.g. to hide the 'x' if the input is empty, make Ajax requests and so on. See http://www.bootply.com/121508

Slicing a dictionary

On Python 3 you can use the itertools islice to slice the dict.items() iterator

import itertools

d = {1: 2, 3: 4, 5: 6}

dict(itertools.islice(d.items(), 2))

{1: 2, 3: 4}

Note: this solution does not take into account specific keys. It slices by internal ordering of d, which in Python 3.7+ is guaranteed to be insertion-ordered.

How to check for empty value in Javascript?

The counter in your for loop appears incorrect (or we're missing some code). Here's a working Fiddle.

This code:

//Where is counter[0] initialized?
for (i ; i < counter[0].value; i++)

Should be replaced with:

var timeTempCount = 5; //I'm not sure where you're getting this value so I set it.

for (var i = 0; i <= timeTempCount; i++)

What is a callback in java

A callback is commonly used in asynchronous programming, so you could create a method which handles the response from a web service. When you call the web service, you could pass the method to it so that when the web service responds, it call's the method you told it ... it "calls back".

In Java this can commonly be done through implementing an interface and passing an object (or an anonymous inner class) that implements it. You find this often with transactions and threading - such as the Futures API.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Future.html

Variable declaration in a header file

You can (should) declare it as extern in a header file, and define it in exactly 1 .c file.

Note that that .c file should also use the header and that the standard pattern looks like:

// file.h
extern int x;  // declaration

// file.c
#include "file.h"
int x = 1;    // definition and re-declaration

How can I suppress column header output for a single SQL statement?

Invoke mysql with the -N (the alias for -N is --skip-column-names) option:

mysql -N ...
use testdb;
select * from names;

+------+-------+
|    1 | pete  |
|    2 | john  |
|    3 | mike  |
+------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Credit to ErichBSchulz for pointing out the -N alias.

To remove the grid (the vertical and horizontal lines) around the results use -s (--silent). Columns are separated with a TAB character.

mysql -s ...
use testdb;
select * from names;

id  name
1   pete
2   john
3   mike

To output the data with no headers and no grid just use both -s and -N.

mysql -sN ...

How do I combine two data-frames based on two columns?

Hope this helps;

df1 = data.frame(CustomerId=c(1:10),
             Hobby = c(rep("sing", 4), rep("pingpong", 3), rep("hiking", 3)),
             Product=c(rep("Toaster",3),rep("Phone", 2), rep("Radio",3), rep("Stereo", 2)))

df2 = data.frame(CustomerId=c(2,4,6, 8, 10),State=c(rep("Alabama",2),rep("Ohio",1),   rep("Cal", 2)),
             like=c("sing", 'hiking', "pingpong", 'hiking', "sing"))

df3 = merge(df1, df2, by.x=c("CustomerId", "Hobby"), by.y=c("CustomerId", "like"))

Assuming df1$Hobby and df2$like mean the same thing.

EditText underline below text property

If you don't have to support devices with API < 21, use backgroundHint in xml, for example:

 <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:hint="Task Name"
            android:ems="10"
            android:id="@+id/task_name"
            android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"

            android:textColorLink="@color/blue"
            android:textColorHint="@color/blue"
            android:backgroundTint="@color/lighter_blue" />

For better support and fallbacks use @Akariuz solution. backgroundHint is the most painless solution, but not backward compatible, based on your requirements make a call.

phpMyAdmin allow remote users

My setup was a little different using XAMPP. in httpd-xampp.conf I had to make the following change.

    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    #makes it so I can config the database from anywhere
    #change the line below
    Require all granted

How to draw a rectangle around a region of interest in python

You can use cv2.rectangle():

cv2.rectangle(img, pt1, pt2, color, thickness, lineType, shift)

Draws a simple, thick, or filled up-right rectangle.

The function rectangle draws a rectangle outline or a filled rectangle
whose two opposite corners are pt1 and pt2.

Parameters
    img   Image.
    pt1   Vertex of the rectangle.
    pt2    Vertex of the rectangle opposite to pt1 .
    color Rectangle color or brightness (grayscale image).
    thickness  Thickness of lines that make up the rectangle. Negative values,
    like CV_FILLED , mean that the function has to draw a filled rectangle.
    lineType  Type of the line. See the line description.
    shift   Number of fractional bits in the point coordinates.

I have a PIL Image object and I want to draw rectangle on this image, but PIL's ImageDraw.rectangle() method does not have the ability to specify line width. I need to convert Image object to opencv2's image format and draw rectangle and convert back to Image object. Here is how I do it:

# im is a PIL Image object
im_arr = np.asarray(im)
# convert rgb array to opencv's bgr format
im_arr_bgr = cv2.cvtColor(im_arr, cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
# pts1 and pts2 are the upper left and bottom right coordinates of the rectangle
cv2.rectangle(im_arr_bgr, pts1, pts2,
              color=(0, 255, 0), thickness=3)
im_arr = cv2.cvtColor(im_arr_bgr, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
# convert back to Image object
im = Image.fromarray(im_arr)

Spring cron expression for every day 1:01:am

For my scheduler, I am using it to fire at 6 am every day and my cron notation is:

0 0 6 * * *

If you want 1:01:am then set it to

0 1 1 * * *

Complete code for the scheduler

@Scheduled(cron="0 1 1 * * *")
public void doScheduledWork() {
    //complete scheduled work
}

** VERY IMPORTANT

To be sure about the firing time correctness of your scheduler, you have to set zone value like this (I am in Istanbul):

@Scheduled(cron="0 1 1 * * *", zone="Europe/Istanbul")
public void doScheduledWork() {
    //complete scheduled work
}

You can find the complete time zone values from here.

Note: My Spring framework version is: 4.0.7.RELEASE

Include another JSP file

<%String leftAds = request.getParameter("articleId");%>

How can I convert JSON to a HashMap using Gson?

JSONObject typically uses HashMap internally to store the data. So, you can use it as Map in your code.

Example,

JSONObject obj = JSONObject.fromObject(strRepresentation);
Iterator i = obj.entrySet().iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
   Map.Entry e = (Map.Entry)i.next();
   System.out.println("Key: " + e.getKey());
   System.out.println("Value: " + e.getValue());
}

Setting up Gradle for api 26 (Android)

Have you added the google maven endpoint?

Important: The support libraries are now available through Google's Maven repository. You do not need to download the support repository from the SDK Manager. For more information, see Support Library Setup.

Add the endpoint to your build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

Which can be replaced by the shortcut google() since Android Gradle v3:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

If you already have any maven url inside repositories, you can add the reference after them, i.e.:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://jitpack.io'
        }
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

How should I have explained the difference between an Interface and an Abstract class?

Here’s an explanation centred around Java 8, that tries to show the key differences between abstract classes and interfaces, and cover all the details needed for the Java Associate Exam.

Key concepts:

A class can extend only one class, but it can implement any number of interfaces
Interfaces define what a class does, abstract classes define what it is
Abstract classes are classes. They can’t be instantiated, but otherwise behave like normal classes
Both can have abstract methods and static methods
Interfaces can have default methods & static final constants, and can extend other interfaces
All interface members are public (until Java 9)

Interfaces define what a class does, abstract classes define what it is

Per Roedy Green:

Interfaces are often used to describe the abilities of a class, not its central identity, e.g. An Automobile class might implement the Recyclable interface, which could apply to many unrelated objects. An abstract class defines the core identity of its descendants. If you defined a Dog abstract class then Dalmatian descendants are Dogs, they are not merely dogable.

Pre Java 8, @Daniel Lerps’s answer was spot on, that interfaces are like a contract that the implementing class has to fulfil.

Now, with default methods, they are more like a Mixin, that still enforces a contract, but can also give code to do the work. This has allowed interfaces to take over some of the use cases of abstract classes.

The point of an abstract class is that it has missing functionality, in the form of abstract methods. If a class doesn’t have any abstract behaviour (which changes between different types) then it could be a concrete class instead.

Abstract classes are classes

Here are some of the normal features of classes which are available in abstract classes, but not in interfaces:

Instance variables / non-final variables. And therefore…
Methods which can access and modify the state of the object
Private / protected members (but see note on Java 9)
Ability to extend abstract or concrete classes
Constructors

Points to note about abstract classes:

They cannot be final (because their whole purpose is to be extended)
An abstract class that extends another abstract class inherits all of its abstract methods as its own abstract methods

Abstract methods

Both abstract classes and interfaces can have zero to many abstract methods. Abstract methods:

Are method signatures without a body (i.e. no {})
Must be marked with the abstract keyword in abstract classes. In interfaces this keyword is unnecessary
Cannot be private (because they need to be implemented by another class)
Cannot be final (because they don’t have bodies yet)
Cannot be static (because reasons)

Note also that:

Abstract methods can be called by non-abstract methods in the same class/interface
The first concrete class that extends an abstract class or implements an interface must provide an implementation for all the abstract methods

Static methods

A static method on an abstract class can be called directly with MyAbstractClass.method(); (i.e. just like for a normal class, and it can also be called via a class that extends the abstract class).

Interfaces can also have static methods. These can only be called via the name of the interface (MyInterface.method();). These methods:

Cannot be abstract, i.e. must have a body (see ‘because reasons’ above)
Are not default (see below)

Default methods

Interfaces can have default methods which must have the default keyword and a method body. These can only reference other interface methods (and can’t refer to a particular implementation's state). These methods:

Are not static
Are not abstract (they have a body)
Cannot be final (the name “default” indicates that they may be overridden)

If a class implements two interfaces with default methods with the same signatures this causes a compilation error, which can be resolved by overriding the method.

Interfaces can have static final constants

Interfaces can only contain the types of methods describe above, or constants.

Constants are assumed to be static and final, and can be used without qualification in classes that implement the interface.

All interface members are public

In Java 8 all members of interfaces (and interfaces themselves) are assumed to be public, and cannot be protected or private (but Java 9 does allow private methods in interfaces).

This means that classes implementing an interface must define the methods with public visibility (in line with the normal rule that a method cannot be overridden with lower visibility).

How to add custom method to Spring Data JPA

There's a slightly modified solution that does not require additional interfaces.

As specificed in the documented functionality, the Impl suffix allows us to have such clean solution:

Define in you regular @Repository interface, say MyEntityRepository the custom methods (in addition to your Spring Data methods)
Create a class MyEntityRepositoryImpl (the Impl suffix is the magic) anywhere (doesn't even need to be in the same package) that implements the custom methods only and annotate such class with @Component** (@Repository will not work).
- This class can even inject MyEntityRepository via @Autowired for use in the custom methods.

Example:

Entity class (for completeness):

package myapp.domain.myentity;
@Entity
public class MyEntity {
    @Id     private Long id;
    @Column private String comment;
}

Repository interface:

package myapp.domain.myentity;

@Repository
public interface MyEntityRepository extends JpaRepository<MyEntity, Long> {

    // EXAMPLE SPRING DATA METHOD
    List<MyEntity> findByCommentEndsWith(String x);

    List<MyEntity> doSomeHql(Long id);   // custom method, code at *Impl class below

    List<MyEntity> useTheRepo(Long id);  // custom method, code at *Impl class below

}

Custom methods implementation bean:

package myapp.infrastructure.myentity;

@Component // Must be @Component !!
public class MyEntityRepositoryImpl { // must have the exact repo name + Impl !!

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Autowired
    private MyEntityRepository myEntityRepository;

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    public List<MyEntity> doSomeHql(Long id) {
        String hql = "SELECT eFROM MyEntity e WHERE e.id = :id";
        TypedQuery<MyEntity> query = entityManager.createQuery(hql, MyEntity.class);
        query.setParameter("id", id);
        return query.getResultList();
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    public List<MyEntity> useTheRepo(Long id) {
        List<MyEntity> es = doSomeHql(id);
        es.addAll(myEntityRepository.findByCommentEndsWith("DO"));
        es.add(myEntityRepository.findById(2L).get());
        return es;
    }

}

Usage:

// You just autowire the the MyEntityRepository as usual
// (the Impl class is just impl detail, the clients don't even know about it)
@Service
public class SomeService {
    @Autowired
    private MyEntityRepository myEntityRepository;

    public void someMethod(String x, long y) {
        // call any method as usual
        myEntityRepository.findByCommentEndsWith(x);
        myEntityRepository.doSomeHql(y);
    }
}

And that's all, no need for any interfaces other than the Spring Data repo one you already have.

The only possible drawbacks I identified are:

The custom methods in the Impl class are marked as unused by the compiler, thus the @SuppressWarnings("unused") suggestion.
You have a limit of one Impl class. (Whereas in the regular fragment interfaces implementation the docs suggest you could have many.)
If you place the Impl class at a different package and your test uses only @DataJpaTest, you have to add @ComponentScan("package.of.the.impl.clazz") to your test, so Spring loads it.

Difference between save and saveAndFlush in Spring data jpa

On saveAndFlush, changes will be flushed to DB immediately in this command. With save, this is not necessarily true, and might stay just in memory, until flush or commit commands are issued.

But be aware, that even if you flush the changes in transaction and do not commit them, the changes still won't be visible to the outside transactions until the commit in this transaction.

In your case, you probably use some sort of transactions mechanism, which issues commit command for you if everything works out fine.

Invalid CSRF Token 'null' was found on the request parameter '_csrf' or header 'X-CSRF-TOKEN'

Neither one of the solutions worked form me. The only one that worked for me in Spring form is:

REPLACED WITH:

action="./upload?_csrf=${_csrf.token}"

(Spring 5 with enabled csrf in java configuration)

Make a div fill the height of the remaining screen space

If you can deal with not supporting old browsers (that is, MSIE 9 or older), you can do this with Flexible Box Layout Module which is already W3C CR. That module allows other nice tricks, too, such as re-ordering content.

Unfortunately, MSIE 9 or lesser do not support this and you have to use vendor prefix for the CSS property for every browser other than Firefox. Hopefully other vendors drop the prefix soon, too.

An another choice would be CSS Grid Layout but that has even less support from stable versions of browsers. In practice, only MSIE 10 supports this.

Update year 2020: All modern browsers support both display: flex and display: grid. The only one missing is support for subgrid which in only supported by Firefox. Note that MSIE does not support either by the spec but if you're willing to add MSIE specific CSS hacks, it can be made to behave. I would suggest simply ignoring MSIE because even Microsoft says it should not be used anymore.

Call to undefined function oci_connect()

I installed WAMPServer 2.5 (32-bit) and also encountered an oci_connect error. I also had Oracle 11g client (32-bit) installed. The common fix I read in other posts was to alter the php.ini file in your C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12 directory, however this never worked for me. Maybe I misunderstood, but I found that if you alter the php.ini file in the C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9 directory instead, you will get the results you want. The only thing I altered in the apache php.ini file was remove the semicolon to extension=php_oci8_11g.dll in order to enable it. I then restarted all the services and it now works! I hope this works for you.

    String string = $(list).join(",");
}

it create a fluent wrapper around lists/arrays/strings/etc using only one static import: $.

NB:

using ranges the previous list can be re-writed as $(1, 5).join(",")

Copy map values to vector in STL

If you are using the boost libraries, you can use boost::bind to access the second value of the pair as follows:

#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>

int main()
{
   typedef std::map<std::string, int> MapT;
   typedef std::vector<int> VecT;
   MapT map;
   VecT vec;

   map["one"] = 1;
   map["two"] = 2;
   map["three"] = 3;
   map["four"] = 4;
   map["five"] = 5;

   std::transform( map.begin(), map.end(),
                   std::back_inserter(vec),
                   boost::bind(&MapT::value_type::second,_1) );
}

This solution is based on a post from Michael Goldshteyn on the boost mailing list.

Get environment variable value in Dockerfile

An alternative using envsubst without losing the ability to use commands like COPY or ADD, and without using intermediate files would be to use Bash's Process Substitution:

docker build -f <(envsubst < Dockerfile) -t my-target .

How do I get interactive plots again in Spyder/IPython/matplotlib?

You can quickly control this by typing built-in magic commands in Spyder's IPython console, which I find faster than picking these from the preferences menu. Changes take immediate effect, without needing to restart Spyder or the kernel.

To switch to "automatic" (i.e. interactive) plots, type:

%matplotlib auto

then if you want to switch back to "inline", type this:

%matplotlib inline

(Note: these commands don't work in non-IPython consoles)

See more background on this topic: Purpose of "%matplotlib inline"

Finding absolute value of a number without using Math.abs()

Here is a one-line solution that will return the absolute value of a number:

abs_number = (num < 0) ? -num : num;

MSSQL Select statement with incremental integer column... not from a table

You can start with a custom number and increment from there, for example you want to add a cheque number for each payment you can do:

select @StartChequeNumber = 3446;
SELECT 
((ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY AnyColumn)) + @StartChequeNumber ) AS 'ChequeNumber'
,* FROM YourTable

will give the correct cheque number for each row.

Git says local branch is behind remote branch, but it's not

This happened to me when I was trying to push the develop branch (I am using git flow). Someone had push updates to master. to fix it I did:

git co master
git pull

Which fetched those changes. Then,

git co develop
git pull

Which didn't do anything. I think the develop branch already pushed despite the error message. Everything is up to date now and no errors.

Making a POST call instead of GET using urllib2

Have a read of the urllib Missing Manual. Pulled from there is the following simple example of a POST request.

url = 'http://myserver/post_service'
data = urllib.urlencode({'name' : 'joe', 'age'  : '10'})
req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
print response.read()

As suggested by @Michael Kent do consider requests, it's great.

EDIT: This said, I do not know why passing data to urlopen() does not result in a POST request; It should. I suspect your server is redirecting, or misbehaving.

How do you automatically resize columns in a DataGridView control AND allow the user to resize the columns on that same grid?

This did wonders for me:

Confused about UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK

UPDLOCK is used when you want to lock a row or rows during a select statement for a future update statement. The future update might be the very next statement in the transaction.

Other sessions can still see the data. They just cannot obtain locks that are incompatiable with the UPDLOCK and/or HOLDLOCK.

You use UPDLOCK when you wan to keep other sessions from changing the rows you have locked. It restricts their ability to update or delete locked rows.

You use HOLDLOCK when you want to keep other sessions from changing any of the data you are looking at. It restricts their ability to insert, update, or delete the rows you have locked. This allows you to run the query again and see the same results.

How can apply multiple background color to one div

You can create something like c using CSS multiple-backgrounds.

div {
    background: linear-gradient(red, red),
                linear-gradient(blue, blue),
                linear-gradient(green, green);
    background-size: 30% 50%,
                     30% 60%,
                     40% 80%;
    background-position: 0% top,
                         calc(30% * 100 / (100 - 30)) top,
                         calc(60% * 100 / (100 - 40)) top;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Note, you still have to use linear-gradients for background types, because CSS will not allow you to control the background-size of a single color layer. So here we just make a single-color gradient. Then you can control the size/position of each of those blocks of color independently. You also have to make sure they don't repeat, or they'll just expand and cover the whole image.

The trickiest part here is background-position. A background-position of 0% puts your element's left edge at the left. 100% puts its right edge at the right. 50% centers is middle.

For a fun bit of math to solve that, you can guess the transform is probably linear, and just solve two little slope-intercept equations.

// (at 0%, the div's left edge is 0% from the left)
0 = m * 0 + b
// (at 100%, the div's right edge is 100% - width% from the left)
100 = m * (100 - width) + b
b = 0, m = 100 / (100 - width)

so to position our 40% wide div 60% from the left, we put it at 60% * 100 / (100 - 40) (or use css-calc).

Is it possible to make desktop GUI application in .NET Core?

Windows Forms (and its visual designer) have been available for .NET Core (as a preview) since Visual Studio 2019 16.6. It's quite good, although sometimes I need to open Visual Studio 2019 16.7 Preview to get around annoying bugs.

See this blog post: Windows Forms Designer for .NET Core Released

Also, Windows Forms is now open source: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms

Change SQLite database mode to read-write

This error usually happens when your database is accessed by one application already, and you're trying to access it with another application.

How to show all rows by default in JQuery DataTable

Use:

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
    iDisplayLength: -1
});

Or if using 1.10+

$('#example').dataTable({
    paging: false
});

The option you should use is iDisplayLength:

$('#adminProducts').dataTable({
  'iDisplayLength': 100
});

$('#table').DataTable({
   "lengthMenu": [ [5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, "All"] ]
});

It will Load by default all entries.

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
    iDisplayLength: -1
});

Or if using 1.10+

$('#example').dataTable({
    paging: false
});

If you want to load by default 25 not all do this.

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
});

Replace text in HTML page with jQuery

You could use the following to replace the first occurrence of a word within the body of the page:

var replaced = $("body").html().replace('-9o0-9909','The new string');
$("body").html(replaced);

If you wanted to replace all occurrences of a word, you need to use regex and declare it global /g:

var replaced = $("body").html().replace(/-1o9-2202/g,'The ALL new string');
$("body").html(replaced);

If you wanted a one liner:

$("body").html($("body").html().replace(/12345-6789/g,'<b>abcde-fghi</b>'));

You are basically taking all of the HTML within the <body> tags of the page into a string variable, using replace() to find and change the first occurrence of the found string with a new string. Or if you want to find and replace all occurrences of the string introduce a little regex to the mix.

See a demo here - look at the HTML top left to see the original text, the jQuery below, and the output to the bottom right.

How do I configure HikariCP in my Spring Boot app in my application.properties files?

you can't use dataSourceClassName approach in application.properties configurations as said by @Andy Wilkinson. if you want to have dataSourceClassName anyway you can use Java Config as:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
class DataSourceConfig {

 @Value("${spring.datasource.username}")
private String user;

@Value("${spring.datasource.password}")
private String password;

@Value("${spring.datasource.url}")
private String dataSourceUrl;

@Value("${spring.datasource.dataSourceClassName}")
private String dataSourceClassName;

@Value("${spring.datasource.poolName}")
private String poolName;

@Value("${spring.datasource.connectionTimeout}")
private int connectionTimeout;

@Value("${spring.datasource.maxLifetime}")
private int maxLifetime;

@Value("${spring.datasource.maximumPoolSize}")
private int maximumPoolSize;

@Value("${spring.datasource.minimumIdle}")
private int minimumIdle;

@Value("${spring.datasource.idleTimeout}")
private int idleTimeout;

@Bean
public DataSource primaryDataSource() {
    Properties dsProps = new Properties();
    dsProps.put("url", dataSourceUrl);
    dsProps.put("user", user);
    dsProps.put("password", password);
    dsProps.put("prepStmtCacheSize",250);
    dsProps.put("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit",2048);
    dsProps.put("cachePrepStmts",Boolean.TRUE);
    dsProps.put("useServerPrepStmts",Boolean.TRUE);

    Properties configProps = new Properties();
       configProps.put("dataSourceClassName", dataSourceClassName);
       configProps.put("poolName",poolName);
       configProps.put("maximumPoolSize",maximumPoolSize);
       configProps.put("minimumIdle",minimumIdle);
       configProps.put("minimumIdle",minimumIdle);
       configProps.put("connectionTimeout", connectionTimeout);
       configProps.put("idleTimeout", idleTimeout);
       configProps.put("dataSourceProperties", dsProps);

   HikariConfig hc = new HikariConfig(configProps);
   HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(hc);
   return ds;
   }
  }

reason you cannot use dataSourceClassName because it will throw and exception

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: both driverClassName and dataSourceClassName are specified, one or the other should be used.

which mean spring boot infers from spring.datasource.url property the Driver and at the same time setting the dataSourceClassName creates this exception. To make it right your application.properties should look something like this for HikariCP datasource:

# hikariCP 
  spring.jpa.databasePlatform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
  spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/exampledb
  spring.datasource.username=root
  spring.datasource.password=
  spring.datasource.poolName=SpringBootHikariCP
  spring.datasource.maximumPoolSize=5
  spring.datasource.minimumIdle=3
  spring.datasource.maxLifetime=2000000
  spring.datasource.connectionTimeout=30000
  spring.datasource.idleTimeout=30000
  spring.datasource.pool-prepared-statements=true
  spring.datasource.max-open-prepared-statements=250

Note: Please check if there is any tomcat-jdbc.jar or commons-dbcp.jar in your classpath added most of the times by transitive dependency. If these are present in classpath Spring Boot will configure the Datasource using default connection pool which is tomcat. HikariCP will only be used to create the Datasource if there is no other provider in classpath. there is a fallback sequence from tomcat -> to HikariCP -> to Commons DBCP.

How to check which PHP extensions have been enabled/disabled in Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS?

Checking for installed php modules and packages

In addition to running

php -m

to get the list of installed php modules, you will probably find it helpful to get the list of the currently installed php packages in Ubuntu:

sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep php

This is helpful since Ubuntu makes php modules available via packages.

You can then install the needed modules by selecting from the available Ubuntu php packages, which you can view by running:

sudo apt-cache search php | grep "^php5-"

Or, for Ubuntu 16.04 and higher:

sudo apt-cache search php | grep "^php7"

As you have mentioned, there is plenty of information available on the actual installation of the packages that you might require, so I won't go into detail about that here.

Related: Enabling / disabling installed php modules

It is possible that an installed module has been disabled. In that case, it won't show up when running php -m, but it will show up in the list of installed Ubuntu packages.

Modules can be enabled/disabled via the php5enmod tool (phpenmod on later distros) which is part of the php-common package.

Ubuntu 12.04:

Enabled modules are symlinked in /etc/php5/conf.d

Ubuntu 12.04: (with PHP 5.4+)

To enable an installed module:

php5enmod <modulename>

To disable an installed module:

php5dismod <modulename>

Ubuntu 16.04 (php7) and higher:

To enable an installed module:

phpenmod <modulename>

To disable an installed module:

phpdismod <modulename>

Reload Apache

Remember to reload Apache2 after enabling/disabling:

service apache2 reload

What's the fastest way to delete a large folder in Windows?

Using Windows Command Prompt:

rmdir /s /q folder

Using Powershell:

powershell -Command "Remove-Item -LiteralPath 'folder' -Force -Recurse"

Note that in more cases del and rmdir wil leave you with leftover files, where Powershell manages to delete the files.

php foreach with multidimensional array

I know this is quite an old answer. Here is a faster solution without using foreach:

Use array_column

print_r(array_column($array, 'firstname')); #returns the value associated with that key 'firstname'

Also you can check before executing the above operation

if(array_key_exists('firstname', $array)){
   print_r(array_column($array, 'firstname'));
}

Facebook Graph API, how to get users email?

For me the problem with collecting user's email addres on PHP side (getGraphUser() method) was, that the default behavior of facebook-rendered button (on WEBSIDE side, created with xfbml=1) is to implicity calling FB.login() with the scope NOT including "email".

That means you MUST:

1) call


FB.login(....,{scope: email})

manifestly, creating your own button to start login process

2) add scope="email" attribute to the xfbml button


<div class="fb-login-button" data-size="large" data-button-type="continue_with" data-
layout="rounded" data-auto-logout-link="false" data-use-continue-as="true" data-
width="1000px" scope="email"></div>

to be able to collect email address on PHP side.

Hope it helps.

Log all requests from the python-requests module

Having a script or even a subsystem of an application for a network protocol debugging, it's desired to see what request-response pairs are exactly, including effective URLs, headers, payloads and the status. And it's typically impractical to instrument individual requests all over the place. At the same time there are performance considerations that suggest using single (or few specialised) requests.Session, so the following assumes that the suggestion is followed.

requests supports so called event hooks (as of 2.23 there's actually only response hook). It's basically an event listener, and the event is emitted before returning control from requests.request. At this moment both request and response are fully defined, hence can be logged.

import logging

import requests


logger = logging.getLogger('httplogger')

def logRoundtrip(response, *args, **kwargs):
    extra = {'req': response.request, 'res': response}
    logger.debug('HTTP roundtrip', extra=extra)

session = requests.Session()
session.hooks['response'].append(logRoundtrip)

That's basically how to log all HTTP round-trips of a session.

Formatting HTTP round-trip log records

For the logging above to be useful there can be specialised logging formatter that understands req and res extras on logging records. It can look like this:

import textwrap

class HttpFormatter(logging.Formatter):   

    def _formatHeaders(self, d):
        return '\n'.join(f'{k}: {v}' for k, v in d.items())

    def formatMessage(self, record):
        result = super().formatMessage(record)
        if record.name == 'httplogger':
            result += textwrap.dedent('''
                ---------------- request ----------------
                {req.method} {req.url}
                {reqhdrs}

                {req.body}
                ---------------- response ----------------
                {res.status_code} {res.reason} {res.url}
                {reshdrs}

                {res.text}
            ''').format(
                req=record.req,
                res=record.res,
                reqhdrs=self._formatHeaders(record.req.headers),
                reshdrs=self._formatHeaders(record.res.headers),
            )

        return result

formatter = HttpFormatter('{asctime} {levelname} {name} {message}', style='{')
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, handlers=[handler])

Now if you do some requests using the session, like:

session.get('https://httpbin.org/user-agent')
session.get('https://httpbin.org/status/200')

The output to stderr will look as follows.

2020-05-14 22:10:13,224 DEBUG urllib3.connectionpool Starting new HTTPS connection (1): httpbin.org:443

A GUI way

When you have a lot of queries, having a simple UI and a way to filter records comes at handy. I'll show to use Chronologer for that (which I'm the author of).

First, the hook has be rewritten to produce records that logging can serialise when sending over the wire. It can look like this:

def logRoundtrip(response, *args, **kwargs): 
    extra = {
        'req': {
            'method': response.request.method,
            'url': response.request.url,
            'headers': response.request.headers,
            'body': response.request.body,
        }, 
        'res': {
            'code': response.status_code,
            'reason': response.reason,
            'url': response.url,
            'headers': response.headers,
            'body': response.text
        },
    }
    logger.debug('HTTP roundtrip', extra=extra)

session = requests.Session()
session.hooks['response'].append(logRoundtrip)

Second, logging configuration has to be adapted to use logging.handlers.HTTPHandler (which Chronologer understands).

import logging.handlers

chrono = logging.handlers.HTTPHandler(
  'localhost:8080', '/api/v1/record', 'POST', credentials=('logger', ''))
handlers = [logging.StreamHandler(), chrono]
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, handlers=handlers)

Finally, run Chronologer instance. e.g. using Docker:

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -v /tmp/db \
    -e CHRONOLOGER_STORAGE_DSN=sqlite:////tmp/db/chrono.sqlite \
    -e CHRONOLOGER_SECRET=example \
    -e CHRONOLOGER_ROLES="basic-reader query-reader writer" \
    saaj/chronologer \
    python -m chronologer -e production serve -u www-data -g www-data -m

And run the requests again:

session.get('https://httpbin.org/user-agent')
session.get('https://httpbin.org/status/200')

The stream handler will produce:

DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): httpbin.org:443
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://httpbin.org:443 "GET /user-agent HTTP/1.1" 200 45
DEBUG:httplogger:HTTP roundtrip
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://httpbin.org:443 "GET /status/200 HTTP/1.1" 200 0
DEBUG:httplogger:HTTP roundtrip

Now if you open http://localhost:8080/ (use "logger" for username and empty password for the basic auth popup) and click "Open" button, you should see something like:

printf() prints whole array

Incase of arrays, the base address (i.e. address of the array) is the address of the 1st element in the array. Also the array name acts as a pointer.

Consider a row of houses (each is an element in the array). To identify the row, you only need the 1st house address.You know each house is followed by the next (sequential).Getting the address of the 1st house, will also give you the address of the row.

Incase of string literals(character arrays defined at declaration), they are automatically appended by \0.

printf prints using the format specifier and the address provided. Since, you use %s it prints from the 1st address (incrementing the pointer using arithmetic) until '\0'

Where can I find error log files?

This is a preferable answer in most use cases, because it allows you to decouple execution of the software from direct knowledge of the server platform, which keeps your code much more portable. If you are doing a lot of cron/cgi, this may not help directly, but it can be set into a config at web runtime that the cron/cgi scripts pull from to keep the log location consistent in that case.

You can get the current log file assigned natively to php on any platform at runtime by using:

ini_get('error_log');

This returns the value distributed directly to the php binary by the webserver, which is what you want in 90% of use cases (with the glaring exception being cgi). Cgi will often log to this same location as the http webserver client, but not always.

You will also want to check that it is writeable before committing anything to it to avoid errors. The conf file that defines it's location (typically either apache.conf globally or vhosts.conf on a per-domain basis), but the conf does not ensure that file permissions allow write access at runtime.

How do I change an HTML selected option using JavaScript?

You could also change select.options.selectedIndex DOM attribute like this:

_x000D_

function selectOption(index){ _x000D_
  document.getElementById("select_id").options.selectedIndex = index;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<p>_x000D_
<select id="select_id">_x000D_
  <option selected>first option</option>_x000D_
  <option>second option</option>_x000D_
  <option>third option</option>_x000D_
</select>_x000D_
</p>_x000D_
<p>_x000D_
  <button onclick="selectOption(0);">Select first option</button>_x000D_
  <button onclick="selectOption(1);">Select second option</button>_x000D_
  <button onclick="selectOption(2);">Select third option</button>_x000D_
</p>

_x000D_

%i or %d to print integer in C using printf()?

I am just adding example here because I think examples make it easier to understand.

In printf() they behave identically so you can use any either %d or %i. But they behave differently in scanf().

For example:

int main()
{
    int num,num2;
    scanf("%d%i",&num,&num2);// reading num using %d and num2 using %i

    printf("%d\t%d",num,num2);
    return 0;
}

Output:

enter image description here

You can see the different results for identical inputs.

num:

We are reading num using %d so when we enter 010 it ignores the first 0 and treats it as decimal 10.

num2:

We are reading num2 using %i.

That means it will treat decimals, octals, and hexadecimals differently.

When it give num2 010 it sees the leading 0 and parses it as octal.

When we print it using %d it prints the decimal equivalent of octal 010 which is 8.

Laravel 5 How to switch from Production mode

What you could also have a look at is the exposed method Application->loadEnvironmentFrom($file)

I needed one application to run on multiple subdomains. So in bootstrap/app.php I added something like:

$envFile = '.env';
// change $envFile conditionally here
$app->loadEnvironmentFrom($envFile);

Break or return from Java 8 stream forEach?

I would suggest using anyMatch. Example:-

);

You can refer this post for understanding anyMatch:- https://beginnersbook.com/2017/11/java-8-stream-anymatch-example/

Disable future dates after today in Jquery Ui Datepicker

You can simply do this

$(function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({  maxDate: new Date });
  });

JSFiddle

FYI: while checking the documentation, found that it also accepts numeric values too.

Number: A number of days from today. For example 2 represents two days from today and -1 represents yesterday.

so 0 represents today. Therefore you can do this too

 $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({  maxDate: 0 });

TypeScript enum to object array

I don't think the order can be guaranteed, otherwise it would be easy enough to slice the second half of Object.entries result and map from there.

The only (very minor) issues with the answers above is that

there is a lot of unnecessary type conversion between string and number.
the entries are iterated twice when a single iteration is just as clean and effective.

type StandardEnum = { [id: string]: number | string; [nu: number]: string;}

function enumToList<T extends StandardEnum> (enm: T) : { id: number; description: string }[] {
    return Object.entries(enm).reduce((accum, kv) => {
        if (typeof kv[1] === 'number') {
            accum.push({ id: kv[1], description: kv[0] })
        }
        return accum
    }, []) // if enum is huge, perhaps pre-allocate with new Array(entries.length / 2), however then push won't work, so tracking an index would also be required
}

Why can't radio buttons be "readonly"?

Radio buttons would only need to be read-only if there are other options. If you don't have any other options, a checked radio button cannot be unchecked. If you have other options, you can prevent the user from changing the value merely by disabling the other options:

<input type="radio" name="foo" value="Y" checked>
<input type="radio" name="foo" value="N" disabled>

proper way to logout from a session in PHP

From the session_destroy() page in the PHP manual:

<?php
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
    $params = session_get_cookie_params();
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
        $params["path"], $params["domain"],
        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
    );
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
session_destroy();
?>

MySQL, Check if a column exists in a table with SQL

Just to help anyone who is looking for a concrete example of what @Mchl was describing, try something like

 SELECT * FROM information_schema.COLUMNS 
 WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'my_schema' AND TABLE_NAME = 'my_table' 
 AND COLUMN_NAME = 'my_column'`

If it returns false (zero results) then you know the column doesn't exist.

What's the Linq to SQL equivalent to TOP or LIMIT/OFFSET?

Use the Take method:

var foo = (from t in MyTable
           select t.Foo).Take(10);

In VB LINQ has a take expression:

Dim foo = From t in MyTable _
          Take 10 _
          Select t.Foo

From the documentation:

Take<TSource> enumerates source and yields elements until count elements have been yielded or source contains no more elements. If count exceeds the number of elements in source, all elements of source are returned.

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

Here is the solution which worked for me.

OUTPUT: State of Cart Widget is updated, upon addition of items.

Create a globalKey for the widget you want to update by calling the trigger from anywhere

final GlobalKey<CartWidgetState> cartKey = GlobalKey();

Make sure it's saved in a file have global access such that, it can be accessed from anywhere. I save it in globalClass where is save commonly used variables through the app's state.

class CartWidget extends StatefulWidget {

  CartWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  CartWidgetState createState() => CartWidgetState();
}

class CartWidgetState extends State<CartWidget> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    //return your widget
    return Container();
  }
}

Call your widget from some other class.

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {

  HomeScreen ({Key key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  HomeScreenState createState() => HomeScreen State();
}

class HomeScreen State extends State<HomeScreen> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView(
              children:[
                 ChildScreen(), 
                 CartWidget(key:cartKey)
              ]
            );
  }
}



class ChildScreen extends StatefulWidget {

  ChildScreen ({Key key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  ChildScreenState createState() => ChildScreen State();
}

class ChildScreen State extends State<ChildScreen> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return InkWell(
              onTap: (){
                // This will update the state of your inherited widget/ class
                if (cartKey.currentState != null)
                    cartKey.currentState.setState(() {});
              },
              child: Text("Update The State of external Widget"),
           );
  }
}

sequelize findAll sort order in nodejs

If you are using MySQL, you can use order by FIELD(id, ...) approach:

Company.findAll({
    where: {id : {$in : companyIds}},
    order: sequelize.literal("FIELD(company.id,"+companyIds.join(',')+")")
})

Keep in mind, it might be slow. But should be faster, than manual sorting with JS.

Spark - load CSV file as DataFrame?

In case you are building a jar with scala 2.11 and Apache 2.0 or higher.

There is no need to create a sqlContext or sparkContext object. Just a SparkSession object suffices the requirement for all needs.

Following is mycode which works fine:

import org.apache.spark.sql.{DataFrame, Row, SQLContext, SparkSession}
import org.apache.log4j.{Level, LogManager, Logger}

object driver {

  def main(args: Array[String]) {

    val log = LogManager.getRootLogger

    log.info("**********JAR EXECUTION STARTED**********")

    val spark = SparkSession.builder().master("local").appName("ValidationFrameWork").getOrCreate()
    val df = spark.read.format("csv")
      .option("header", "true")
      .option("delimiter","|")
      .option("inferSchema","true")
      .load("d:/small_projects/spark/test.pos")
    df.show()
  }
}

In case you are running in cluster just change .master("local") to .master("yarn") while defining the sparkBuilder object

The Spark Doc covers this: https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.2.0/sql-programming-guide.html

Rename multiple files by replacing a particular pattern in the filenames using a shell script

Session only cookies with Javascript

Use the below code for a setup session cookie, it will work until browser close. (make sure not close tab)

function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
    var d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "expires="+ d.toUTCString();
    document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
  }
  function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
    var ca = decodedCookie.split(';');
    for(var i = 0; i <ca.length; i++) {
      var c = ca[i];
      while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
        c = c.substring(1);
      }
      if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
        return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
      }
    }
    return false;
  }
  
  
  if(getCookie("KoiMilGaya")) {
    //alert('found'); 
    // Cookie found. Display any text like repeat user. // reload, other page visit, close tab and open again.. 
  } else {
    //alert('nothing');
    // Display popup or anthing here. it shows on first visit only.  
    // this will load again when user closer browser and open again. 
    setCookie('KoiMilGaya','1');
  }

running multiple bash commands with subprocess

I just stumbled on a situation where I needed to run a bunch of lines of bash code (not separated with semicolons) from within python. In this scenario the proposed solutions do not help. One approach would be to save a file and then run it with Popen, but it wasn't possible in my situation.

What I ended up doing is something like:

commands = '''
echo "a"
echo "b"
echo "c"
echo "d"
'''

process = subprocess.Popen('/bin/bash', stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
out, err = process.communicate(commands)
print out

So I first create the child bash process and after I tell it what to execute. This approach removes the limitations of passing the command directly to the Popen constructor.

What USB driver should we use for the Nexus 5?

I had similar problems as people here with Nexus 5 on Windows 7. No .inf file edits were needed, my computer was stuck on an old version of the Google USB drivers (7.0.0.1). Windows 7 refused to install the newer version even if I tried to manually select the directory or .inf file. Had to manually delete specific cached .inf files in WINDOWS\inf folder, follow directions here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62365#c7

Also be sure USB debugging is turned on in developer options. There's a trick to expose the developer options, click 7 times on the build number at the bottom of the "About Phone" information!

Convert nullable bool? to bool

This is an interesting variation on the theme. At first and second glances you would assume the true branch is taken. Not so!

bool? flag = null;
if (!flag ?? true)
{
    // false branch
}
else
{
    // true branch
}

The way to get what you want is to do this:

if (!(flag ?? true))
{
    // false branch
}
else
{
    // true branch
}

Xcode "Device Locked" When iPhone is unlocked

Recently I have met the Xcode shows "development cannot be enabled while your device is locked, Please unlock your device and reattach. (0xE80000E2).

If your iOS device is already unlocked and connected to mac and still get the error from Xcode 8.1 after upgrading to iOS 10.1.1, then the mac is not trusted by the device.

To fix it, first disconnect device to mac and then go to iOS settings app, and open general->reset->Reset Location & Privacy.

Then connect device to mac and when prompted, set select trust the mac.

Then wait the processing symbol files within your device and mac. After it finished, you can run the project to your device. It will be working.

C - gettimeofday for computing time?

Your curtime variable holds the number of seconds since the epoch. If you get one before and one after, the later one minus the earlier one is the elapsed time in seconds. You can subtract time_t values just fine.

SQL Server 2008: How to query all databases sizes?

sometimes SECURITY issues prevent from asking for all the db's and you need to query one by one with the db prefix, for those cases i created this dynamic query

go
declare @Results table ([Name] nvarchar(max), [DataFileSizeMB] int, [LogFileSizeMB] int);

declare @QaQuery nvarchar(max)
declare @name nvarchar(max)

declare MY_CURSOR cursor 
  local static read_only forward_only
for 
select name from master.dbo.sysdatabases where name not in ('master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'msdb', 'rdsadmin');

open MY_CURSOR
fetch next from MY_CURSOR into @name
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin 
    if(len(@name)>0)
    begin
        print @name + ' Column Exist'
        set @QaQuery = N'select 
                            '''+@name+''' as Name
                            ,sum(case when type = 0 then size else 0 end) as DataFileSizeMB
                            ,sum(case when type = 1 then size else 0 end) as LogFileSizeMB
                        from ['+@name+'].sys.database_files
                        group by replace(name, ''_log'', '''')';

        insert @Results exec sp_executesql @QaQuery;
    end
  fetch next from MY_CURSOR into @name
end
close MY_CURSOR
deallocate MY_CURSOR

select * from @Results order by DataFileSizeMB desc
go

Remove Duplicates from range of cells in excel vba

You need to tell the Range.RemoveDuplicates method what column to use. Additionally, since you have expressed that you have a header row, you should tell the .RemoveDuplicates method that.

Sub dedupe_abcd()
    Dim icol As Long

    With Sheets("Sheet1")   '<-set this worksheet reference properly!
        icol = Application.Match("abcd", .Rows(1), 0)
        With .Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
            .RemoveDuplicates Columns:=icol, Header:=xlYes
        End With
    End With
End Sub

Your original code seemed to want to remove duplicates from a single column while ignoring surrounding data. That scenario is atypical and I've included the surrounding data so that the .RemoveDuplicates process does not scramble your data. Post back a comment if you truly wanted to isolate the RemoveDuplicates process to a single column.

bool to int conversion

You tagged your question [C] and [C++] at the same time. The results will be consistent between the languages, but the structure of the the answer is different for each of these languages.

In C language your examples has no relation to bool whatsoever (that applies to C99 as well). In C language relational operators do not produce bool results. Both 4 > 5 and 4 < 5 are expressions that produce results of type int with values 0 or 1. So, there's no "bool to int conversion" of any kind taking place in your examples in C.

In C++ relational operators do indeed produce bool results. bool values are convertible to int type, with true converting to 1 and false converting to 0. This is guaranteed by the language.

P.S. C language also has a dedicated boolean type _Bool (macro-aliased as bool), and its integral conversion rules are essentially the same as in C++. But nevertheless this is not relevant to your specific examples in C. Once again, relational operators in C always produce int (not bool) results regardless of the version of the language specification.

Attach the Source in Eclipse of a jar

How to make script execution wait until jquery is loaded

It's a common issue, imagine you use a cool PHP templating engine, so you have your base layout:

HEADER
BODY ==> dynamic CONTENT/PAGE
FOOTER

And of course, you read somewhere it's better to load Javascript at the bottom of the page, so your dynamic content doesnot know who is jQuery (or the $).

Also you read somewhere it's good to inline small Javascript, so imagine you need jQuery in a page, baboom, $ is not defined (.. yet ^^).

I love the solution Facebook provides

window.fbAsyncInit = function() { alert('FB is ready !'); }

So as a lazy programmer (I should say a good programmer ^^), you can use an equivalent (within your page):

window.jqReady = function() {}

And add at the bottom of your layout, after jQuery include

if (window.hasOwnProperty('jqReady')) $(function() {window.jqReady();});

Swift: Convert enum value to String?

For now, I'll redefine the enum as:

enum Audience: String {
    case Public = "Public"
    case Friends = "Friends"
    case Private = "Private"
}

so that I can do:

audience.toRaw() // "Public"

But, isn't this new enum definition redundant? Can I keep the initial enum definition and do something like:

audience.toString() // "Public"

How can I reference a dll in the GAC from Visual Studio?

As the others said, most of the time you won't want to do that because it doesn't copy the assembly to your project and it won't deploy with your project. However, if you're like me, and trying to add a reference that all target machines have in their GAC but it's not a .NET Framework assembly:

Open the windows Run dialog (Windows Key + r)
Type C:\Windows\assembly\gac_msil. This is some sort of weird hack that lets you browse your GAC. You can only get to it through the run dialog. Hopefully my spreading this info doesn't eventually cause Microsoft to patch it and block it. (Too paranoid? :P)
Find your assembly and copy its path from the address bar.
Open the Add Reference dialog in Visual Studio and choose the Browse tab.
Paste in the path to your GAC assembly.

I don't know if there's an easier way, but I haven't found it. I also frequently use step 1-3 to place .pdb files with their GAC assemblies to make sure they're not lost when I later need to use Remote Debugger.

Delimiters in MySQL

When you create a stored routine that has a BEGIN...END block, statements within the block are terminated by semicolon (;). But the CREATE PROCEDURE statement also needs a terminator. So it becomes ambiguous whether the semicolon within the body of the routine terminates CREATE PROCEDURE, or terminates one of the statements within the body of the procedure.

The way to resolve the ambiguity is to declare a distinct string (which must not occur within the body of the procedure) that the MySQL client recognizes as the true terminator for the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.

How to toggle boolean state of react component?

Since nobody posted this, I am posting the correct answer. If your new state update depends on the previous state, always use the functional form of setState which accepts as argument a function that returns a new state.

In your case:

this.setState(prevState => ({
  check: !prevState.check
}));

See docs

Since this answer is becoming popular, adding the approach that should be used for React Hooks (v16.8+):

If you are using the useState hook, then use the following code (in case your new state depends on the previous state):

const [check, setCheck] = useState(false);
// ...
setCheck(prevCheck => !prevCheck);

Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist

If you move your datadir, you not only need to give the new datadir permissions, but you need to ensure all parent directories have permission.

I moved my datadir to a hard drive, mounted in Ubuntu as:

/media/*user*/Data/

and my datadir was Databases.

I had to set permissions to 771 to each of the media, user and Data directories:

sudo chmod 771 *DIR*

If this does not work, another way you can get mysql to work is to change user in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to root; though there are no doubt some issues with doing that from a security perspective.

Is it safe to expose Firebase apiKey to the public?

I am not convinced to expose security/config keys to client. I would not call it secure, not because some one can steal all private information from first day, because someone can make excessive request, and drain your quota and make you owe to Google a lot of money.

You need to think about many concepts from restricting people not to access where they are not supposed to be, DOS attacks etc.

I would more prefer the client first will hit to your web server, there you put what ever first hand firewall, captcha , cloudflare, custom security in between the client and server, or between server and firebase and you are good to go. At least you can first stop suspect activity before it reaches to firebase. You will have much more flexibility.

I only see one good usage scenario for using client based config for internal usages. For example, you have internal domain, and you are pretty sure outsiders cannot access there, so you can setup environment like browser -> firebase type.

How do you run multiple programs in parallel from a bash script?

How about:

prog1 & prog2 && fg

This will:

Start prog1.
Send it to background, but keep printing its output.
Start prog2, and keep it in foreground, so you can close it with ctrl-c.
When you close prog2, you'll return to prog1's foreground, so you can also close it with ctrl-c.

Optimal way to DELETE specified rows from Oracle

Store all the to be deleted ID's into a table. Then there are 3 ways. 1) loop through all the ID's in the table, then delete one row at a time for X commit interval. X can be a 100 or 1000. It works on OLTP environment and you can control the locks.

2) Use Oracle Bulk Delete

3) Use correlated delete query.

Single query is usually faster than multiple queries because of less context switching, and possibly less parsing.

Finding sum of elements in Swift array

Swift 3

If you have an array of generic objects and you want to sum some object property then:

class A: NSObject {
    var value = 0
    init(value: Int) {
       self.value = value
    }
}

let array = [A(value: 2), A(value: 4)]      
let sum = array.reduce(0, { $0 + $1.value })
//                           ^       ^
//                        $0=result  $1=next A object
print(sum) // 6

Despite of the shorter form, many times you may prefer the classic for-cycle:

let array = [A(value: 2), A(value: 4)]
var sum = 0
array.forEach({ sum += $0.value}) 
// or
for element in array {
   sum += element.value
}

CSS Outside Border

I shared two solutions depending on your needs:

<style type="text/css" ref="stylesheet">
  .border-inside-box {
    border: 1px solid black;
  }
  .border-inside-box-v1 {
    outline: 1px solid black; /* 'border-radius' not available */
  }
  .border-outside-box-v2 {
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px black; /* 'border-style' not available (dashed, solid, etc) */
  }
</style>

Push an associative item into an array in JavaScript

Another method for creating a JavaScript associative array

First create an array of objects,

 var arr = {'name': []};

Next, push the value to the object.

  var val = 2;
  arr['name'].push(val);

To read from it:

var val = arr.name[0];

How to set default value to all keys of a dict object in python?

You can use the following class. Just change zero to any default value you like. The solution was tested in Python 2.7.

class cDefaultDict(dict):
    # dictionary that returns zero for missing keys
    # keys with zero values are not stored

    def __missing__(self,key):
        return 0

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        if value==0:
            if key in self:  # returns zero anyway, so no need to store it
                del self[key]
        else:
            dict.__setitem__(self, key, value)

"Call to undefined function mysql_connect()" after upgrade to php-7

From the PHP Manual:

Warning This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide. Alternatives to this function include:

mysqli_connect()

PDO::__construct()

use MySQLi or PDO

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

OpenSSL: unable to verify the first certificate for Experian URL

The first error message is telling you more about the problem:

verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate

The issuing certificate authority of the end entity server certificate is

VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3

Look closely in your CA file - you will not find this certificate since it is an intermediary CA - what you found was a similar-named G3 Public Primary CA of VeriSign.

But why does the other connection succeed, but this one doesn't? The problem is a misconfiguration of the servers (see for yourself using the -debug option). The "good" server sends the entire certificate chain during the handshake, therefore providing you with the necessary intermediate certificates.

But the server that is failing sends you only the end entity certificate, and OpenSSL is not capable of downloading the missing intermediate certificate "on the fly" (which would be possible by interpreting the Authority Information Access extension). Therefore your attempt fails using s_client but it would succeed nevertheless if you browse to the same URL using e.g. FireFox (which does support the "certificate discovery" feature).

Your options to solve the problem are either fixing this on the server side by making the server send the entire chain, too, or by passing the missing intermediate certificate to OpenSSL as a client-side parameter.

Remove all html tags from php string

In laravel you can use following syntax

 @php

 @endphp
 {{  strip_tags($description)}}

How do I print colored output with Python 3?

For windows just do this:

import os
os.system("color 01")
print('hello friends')

Where it says "01" that is saying background black, and text color blue. Go into CMD Prompt and type color help for a list of colors.

Initializing default values in a struct

You don't even need to define a constructor

struct foo {
    bool a = true;
    bool b = true;
    bool c;
 } bar;

To clarify: these are called brace-or-equal-initializers (because you may also use brace initialization instead of equal sign). This is not only for aggregates: you can use this in normal class definitions. This was added in C++11.

ORA-01882: timezone region not found

I had the same problem when trying to make a connection on OBIEE to Oracle db. I changed my Windows timezone from (GMT+01:00) West Central Africa to (GMT+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris. Then I rebooted my computer and it worked just fine. Seems like Oracle was not able to recognize the west central Africa timezone.

How to trigger HTML button when you press Enter in textbox?

Do not use Javascript for this!

Modern HTML pages automatically allow a form's submit button to submit the page with the ENTER/RETURN key when any form field control in the web page has focus by the user, autofocus attribute is set on a form field or button, or user tab's into any of the form fields.

So instead of Javascripting this, an easier solution is to add tabindex=0 on your form fields and button inside a form element then autofocus on the first input control. The user can then press "ENTER" to submit the form at any point as they enter data:

<form id="buttonform2" name="buttonform2" action="#" method="get" role="form">
  <label for="username1">Username</label>
  <input type="text" id="username1" name="username" value="" size="20" maxlength="20" title="Username" tabindex="0" autofocus="autofocus" />
  <label for="password1">Password</label>
  <input type="password" id="password1" name="password" size="20" maxlength="20" value="" title="Password" tabindex="0" role="textbox" aria-label="Password" />
  <button id="button2" name="button2" type="submit" value="submit" form="buttonform2" title="Submit" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Submit">Submit</button>
</form>

How do I vertical center text next to an image in html/css?

This might get you started.

I always fall back on this solution. Not too hack-ish and gets the job done.

EDIT: I should point out that you might achieve the effect you want with the following code (forgive the inline styles; they should be in a separate sheet). It seems that the default alignment on an image (baseline) will cause the text to align to the baseline; setting that to middle gets things to render nicely, at least in FireFox 3.

_x000D_

<div>_x000D_
    <img src="https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.svg" style="vertical-align: middle;" width="100px"/>_x000D_
    <span style="vertical-align: middle;">Here is some text.</span>_x000D_
</div>

          }
         catch(IOException ioe)  {

How to unpackage and repackage a WAR file

This worked for me:

mv xyz.war ./tmp
cd tmp
jar -xvf xyz.war
rm -rf WEB-INF/lib/zookeeper-3.4.10.jar
rm -rf xyz.war
jar -cvf xyz.war *
mv xyz.war ../
cd ..

Initializing a struct to 0

I also thought this would work but it's misleading:

myStruct _m1 = {0};

When I tried this:

myStruct _m1 = {0xff};

Only the 1st byte was set to 0xff, the remaining ones were set to 0. So I wouldn't get into the habit of using this.

How to start an application without waiting in a batch file?

If start can't find what it's looking for, it does what you describe.

Since what you're doing should work, it's very likely you're leaving out some quotes (or putting extras in).

mysql query result in php variable

$query    =    "SELECT username, userid FROM user WHERE username = 'admin' ";
$result    =    $conn->query($query);

if (!$result) {
  echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
  exit;
}

$arrayResult    =    mysql_fetch_array($result);

//Now you can access $arrayResult like this

$arrayResult['userid'];    // output will be userid which will be in database
$arrayResult['username'];  // output will be admin

//Note- userid and username will be column name of user table.

Setting Icon for wpf application (VS 08)

After getting a XamlParseException with message: 'Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' with the given solutions, setting the icon programmatically worked for me. This is how I did it:

Put the icon in a folder <icon_path> in the project directory
Mimic the folder path <icon_path> in the solution
Add a new item (your icon) in the solution folder you created
Add the following code in the WPF window's code behind:

Icon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("<icon_path>", UriKind.Relative));

Please inform me if you have any difficulties implementing this solution so I can help.

Entity framework left join

It might be a bit of an overkill, but I wrote an extension method, so you can do a LeftJoin using the Join syntax (at least in method call notation):

persons.LeftJoin(
    phoneNumbers,
    person => person.Id,
    phoneNumber => phoneNumber.PersonId,
    (person, phoneNumber) => new
        {
            Person = person,
            PhoneNumber = phoneNumber?.Number
        }
);

My code does nothing more than adding a GroupJoin and a SelectMany call to the current expression tree. Nevertheless, it looks pretty complicated because I have to build the expressions myself and modify the expression tree specified by the user in the resultSelector parameter to keep the whole tree translatable by LINQ-to-Entities.

public static class LeftJoinExtension
{
    public static IQueryable<TResult> LeftJoin<TOuter, TInner, TKey, TResult>(
        this IQueryable<TOuter> outer,
        IQueryable<TInner> inner,
        Expression<Func<TOuter, TKey>> outerKeySelector,
        Expression<Func<TInner, TKey>> innerKeySelector,
        Expression<Func<TOuter, TInner, TResult>> resultSelector)
    {
        MethodInfo groupJoin = typeof (Queryable).GetMethods()
                                                 .Single(m => m.ToString() == "System.Linq.IQueryable`1[TResult] GroupJoin[TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult](System.Linq.IQueryable`1[TOuter], System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[TInner], System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1[System.Func`2[TOuter,TKey]], System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1[System.Func`2[TInner,TKey]], System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1[System.Func`3[TOuter,System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[TInner],TResult]])")
                                                 .MakeGenericMethod(typeof (TOuter), typeof (TInner), typeof (TKey), typeof (LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>));
        MethodInfo selectMany = typeof (Queryable).GetMethods()
                                                  .Single(m => m.ToString() == "System.Linq.IQueryable`1[TResult] SelectMany[TSource,TCollection,TResult](System.Linq.IQueryable`1[TSource], System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1[System.Func`2[TSource,System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[TCollection]]], System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1[System.Func`3[TSource,TCollection,TResult]])")
                                                  .MakeGenericMethod(typeof (LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>), typeof (TInner), typeof (TResult));

        var groupJoinResultSelector = (Expression<Func<TOuter, IEnumerable<TInner>, LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>>>)
                                      ((oneOuter, manyInners) => new LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner> {OneOuter = oneOuter, ManyInners = manyInners});

        MethodCallExpression exprGroupJoin = Expression.Call(groupJoin, outer.Expression, inner.Expression, outerKeySelector, innerKeySelector, groupJoinResultSelector);

        var selectManyCollectionSelector = (Expression<Func<LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>, IEnumerable<TInner>>>)
                                           (t => t.ManyInners.DefaultIfEmpty());

        ParameterExpression paramUser = resultSelector.Parameters.First();

        ParameterExpression paramNew = Expression.Parameter(typeof (LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>), "t");
        MemberExpression propExpr = Expression.Property(paramNew, "OneOuter");

        LambdaExpression selectManyResultSelector = Expression.Lambda(new Replacer(paramUser, propExpr).Visit(resultSelector.Body), paramNew, resultSelector.Parameters.Skip(1).First());

        MethodCallExpression exprSelectMany = Expression.Call(selectMany, exprGroupJoin, selectManyCollectionSelector, selectManyResultSelector);

        return outer.Provider.CreateQuery<TResult>(exprSelectMany);
    }

    private class LeftJoinIntermediate<TOuter, TInner>
    {
        public TOuter OneOuter { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<TInner> ManyInners { get; set; }
    }

    private class Replacer : ExpressionVisitor
    {
        private readonly ParameterExpression _oldParam;
        private readonly Expression _replacement;

        public Replacer(ParameterExpression oldParam, Expression replacement)
        {
            _oldParam = oldParam;
            _replacement = replacement;
        }

        public override Expression Visit(Expression exp)
        {
            if (exp == _oldParam)
            {
                return _replacement;

What is a 'Closure'?

Functions containing no free variables are called pure functions.

Functions containing one or more free variables are called closures.

var pure = function pure(x){
  return x 
  // only own environment is used
}

var foo = "bar"

var closure = function closure(){
  return foo 
  // foo is a free variable from the outer environment
}

Two-way SSL clarification

In two way ssl the client asks for servers digital certificate and server ask for the same from the client. It is more secured as it is both ways, although its bit slow. Generally we dont follow it as the server doesnt care about the identity of the client, but a client needs to make sure about the integrity of server it is connecting to.

Is there any way to return HTML in a PHP function? (without building the return value as a string)

Or you can just use this:

<?
function TestHtml() { 
# PUT HERE YOU PHP CODE
?>
<!-- HTML HERE -->

<? } ?>

to get content from this function , use this :

<?= file_get_contents(TestHtml()); ?>

That's it :)

How to insert programmatically a new line in an Excel cell in C#?

"Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP." error when loading a local file

Just to be explicit - Yes, the error is saying you cannot point your browser directly at file://some/path/some.html

Here are some options to quickly spin up a local web server to let your browser render local files

Python 2

If you have Python installed...

Change directory into the folder where your file some.html or file(s) exist using the command cd /path/to/your/folder
Start up a Python web server using the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer

This will start a web server to host your entire directory listing at http://localhost:8000

You can use a custom port python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000 giving you link: http://localhost:9000

This approach is built in to any Python installation.

Python 3

Do the same steps, but use the following command instead python3 -m http.server

Node.js

Alternatively, if you demand a more responsive setup and already use nodejs...

Install http-server by typing npm install -g http-server
Change into your working directory, where yoursome.html lives
Start your http server by issuing http-server -c-1

This spins up a Node.js httpd which serves the files in your directory as static files accessible from http://localhost:8080

Ruby

If your preferred language is Ruby ... the Ruby Gods say this works as well:

ruby -run -e httpd . -p 8080

PHP

Of course PHP also has its solution.

php -S localhost:8000

How to programmatically set the SSLContext of a JAX-WS client?

I had problems trusting a self signed certificate when setting up the trust manager. I used the SSLContexts builder of the apache httpclient to create a custom SSLSocketFactory

SSLContext sslcontext = SSLContexts.custom()
        .loadKeyMaterial(keyStoreFile, "keystorePassword.toCharArray(), keyPassword.toCharArray())
        .loadTrustMaterial(trustStoreFile, "password".toCharArray(), new TrustSelfSignedStrategy())
        .build();
SSLSocketFactory customSslFactory = sslcontext.getSocketFactory()
bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.SSL_SOCKET_FACTORY, customSslFactory);

and passing in the new TrustSelfSignedStrategy() as an argument in the loadTrustMaterial method.

Func delegate with no return type

... takes no arguments and has a void return type?

If you are writing for System.Windows.Forms, You can also use:

Gradle does not find tools.jar

Like other answers I set org.gradle.java.home property in gradle.properties file. But path with \ separators did not work (building on windows 10):

Java home supplied via 'org.gradle.java.home' is invalid. Invalid directory: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_65

So instead of

org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65

i had to use

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_65

then the build was successful

Problem is that project is build with JRE instead of JDK and since I was building it from eclipse this also worked:

In Window>Preferences>Gradle>Arguments specify Workspace JRE and specify your JDK.
In Window>Preferences>Java>InstalledJREs specify your JDK as default

Using LINQ to concatenate strings

You can use StringBuilder in Aggregate:

  List<string> strings = new List<string>() { "one", "two", "three" };

  StringBuilder sb = strings
    .Select(s => s)
    .Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (ag, n) => ag.Append(n).Append(", "));

  if (sb.Length > 0) { sb.Remove(sb.Length - 2, 2); }

  Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());

(The Select is in there just to show you can do more LINQ stuff.)

Where can I download mysql jdbc jar from?
