Programs & Examples On #Simplexmlrpcserver

What is the current choice for doing RPC in Python?

Since I've asked this question, I've started using python-symmetric-jsonrpc. It is quite good, can be used between python and non-python software and follow the JSON-RPC standard. But it lacks some examples.

What does "The code generator has deoptimised the styling of [some file] as it exceeds the max of "100KB"" mean?

Either one of the below three options gets rid of the message (but for different reasons and with different side-effects I suppose):

  1. exclude the node_modules directory or explicitly include the directory where your app resides (which presumably does not contain files in excess of 100KB)
  2. set the Babel option compact to true (actually any value other than "auto")
  3. set the Babel option compact to false (see above)

#1 in the above list can be achieved by either excluding the node_modules directory or be explicitly including the directory where your app resides.

E.g. in webpack.config.js:

let path = require('path');
....
module: {
     loaders: [
          ...
          loader: 'babel',
          exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/')

... or by using include: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/') (again in webpack.config.js).

#2 and #3 in the above list can be accomplished by the method suggested in this answer or (my preference) by editing the .babelrc file. E.g.:

$ cat .babelrc 
{
    "presets": ["es2015", "react"],
    "compact" : true
}

Tested with the following setup:

$ npm ls --depth 0 | grep babel

Is there a Google Chrome-only CSS hack?

I have found this works ONLY in Chrome (where it's red) and not Safari and all other browsers (where it's green)...

.style {
color: green;
(-bracket-:hack;
    color: red;
);
}

conversion from string to json object android

its work

    String json = "{\"phonetype\":\"N95\",\"cat\":\"WP\"}";

    try {

        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);

        Log.d("My App", obj.toString());
        Log.d("phonetype value ", obj.getString("phonetype"));

    } catch (Throwable tx) {
        Log.e("My App", "Could not parse malformed JSON: \"" + json + "\"");

String length in bytes in JavaScript

You can try this:

function getLengthInBytes(str) {
  var b = str.match(/[^\x00-\xff]/g);
  return (str.length + (!b ? 0: b.length)); 
}

It works for me.

How to change value of a request parameter in laravel

Great answers here but I needed to replace a value in a JSON request. After a little digging into the code, I came up with the following code. Let me know if I'm doing something dumb.

$json = $request->json()->all();
$json['field'] = 'new value';
$request->json()->replace($json);

How to display a PDF via Android web browser without "downloading" first

You can use this

webView.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=" + "url of pdf file"); 

How to redirect a URL path in IIS?

If you have loads of re-directs to create, having loads of virtual directories over the places is a nightmare to maintain. You could try using ISAPI redirect an IIS extension. Then all you re-directs are managed in one place.

http://www.isapirewrite.com/docs/

It allows also you to match patterns based on reg ex expressions etc. I've used where I've had to re-direct 100's of pages and its saved a lot of time.

Git "error: The branch 'x' is not fully merged"

I did not have the upstream branch on my local git. I had created a local branch from master, git checkout -b mybranch . I created a branch with bitbucket GUI on the upstream git and pushed my local branch (mybranch) to that upstream branch. Once I did a git fetch on my local git to retrieve the upstream branch, I could do a git branch -d mybranch.

How to convert int to QString?

Just for completeness, you can use the standard library and do QString qstr = QString::fromStdString(std::to_string(42));

How to know if docker is already logged in to a docker registry server

If you want a simple true/false value, you can pipe your docker.json to jq.

is_logged_in() {
  cat ~/.docker/config.json | jq -r --arg url "${REPOSITORY_URL}" '.auths | has($url)'
}

if [[ "$(is_logged_in)" == "false" ]]; then
  # do stuff, log in

Case insensitive string as HashMap key

Subclass HashMap and create a version that lower-cases the key on put and get (and probably the other key-oriented methods).

Or composite a HashMap into the new class and delegate everything to the map, but translate the keys.

If you need to keep the original key you could either maintain dual maps, or store the original key along with the value.

Location of the mongodb database on mac

If mongodb is installed via Homebrew the default location is:

/usr/local/var/mongodb

See the answer from @simonbogarde for the location of other interesting files that are different when using Homebrew.

Laravel Migration Error: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

If you don't have any data assigned already to you database do the following:

  1. Go to app/Providers/AppServiceProvide.php and add

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

and inside of the method boot();

Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

  1. Now delete the records in your database, user table for ex.

  2. run the following

php artisan config:cache

php artisan migrate

Test if number is odd or even

I did a bit of testing, and found that between mod, is_int and the &-operator, mod is the fastest, followed closely by the &-operator. is_int is nearly 4 times slower than mod.

I used the following code for testing purposes:

$number = 13;

$before = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) {
    $test = ($number%2?true:false);
}
$after = microtime(true);

echo $after-$before." seconds mod<br>";

$before = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) {
    $test = (!is_int($number/2)?true:false);
}
$after = microtime(true);

echo $after-$before." seconds is_int<br>";

$before = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<100000; $i++) {
    $test = ($number&1?true:false);
}
$after = microtime(true);

echo $after-$before." seconds & operator<br>";

The results I got were pretty consistent. Here's a sample:

0.041879177093506 seconds mod
0.15969395637512 seconds is_int
0.044223070144653 seconds & operator

Razor MVC Populating Javascript array with Model Array

I was integrating a slider and needed to get all the files in the folder and was having same situationof C# array to javascript array.This solution by @heymega worked perfectly except my javascript parser was annoyed on var use in foreach loop. So i did a little work around avoiding the loop.

var allowedExtensions = new string[] { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".bmp", ".png", ".gif" };

var bannerImages = string.Join(",", Directory.GetFiles(Path.Combine(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationPhysicalPath, "Images", "banners"), "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
    .Where(d => allowedExtensions.Contains(Path.GetExtension(d).ToLower()))
    .Select(d => string.Format("'{0}'", Path.GetFileName(d)))
    .ToArray());

And the javascript code is

var imagesArray = new Array(@Html.Raw(bannerImages));

Hope it helps

How to recursively find the latest modified file in a directory?

This seems to work fine, even with subdirectories:

In case of too many files, refine the find.

SQL - IF EXISTS UPDATE ELSE INSERT INTO

  1. Create a UNIQUE constraint on your subs_email column, if one does not already exist:

    ALTER TABLE subs ADD UNIQUE (subs_email)
    
  2. Use INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE:

    INSERT INTO subs
      (subs_name, subs_email, subs_birthday)
    VALUES
      (?, ?, ?)
    ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
      subs_name     = VALUES(subs_name),
      subs_birthday = VALUES(subs_birthday)
    

You can use the VALUES(col_name) function in the UPDATE clause to refer to column values from the INSERT portion of the INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE - dev.mysql.com

  1. Note that I have used parameter placeholders in the place of string literals, as one really should be using parameterised statements to defend against SQL injection attacks.

Difference between Destroy and Delete

Basically destroy runs any callbacks on the model while delete doesn't.

From the Rails API:

  • ActiveRecord::Persistence.delete

    Deletes the record in the database and freezes this instance to reflect that no changes should be made (since they can't be persisted). Returns the frozen instance.

    The row is simply removed with an SQL DELETE statement on the record's primary key, and no callbacks are executed.

    To enforce the object's before_destroy and after_destroy callbacks or any :dependent association options, use #destroy.

  • ActiveRecord::Persistence.destroy

    Deletes the record in the database and freezes this instance to reflect that no changes should be made (since they can't be persisted).

    There's a series of callbacks associated with destroy. If the before_destroy callback return false the action is cancelled and destroy returns false. See ActiveRecord::Callbacks for further details.

Import Google Play Services library in Android Studio

I got the same problem. I just tried to rebuild, clean and restart but no luck. Then I just remove

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

from build.gradle and resync. After that I put it again and resync. Next to that, I clean the project and the problem is gone!!

I hope it will help any of you facing the same.

How many files can I put in a directory?

There is no single figure that is "too many", as long as it doesn't exceed the limits of the OS. However, the more files in a directory, regardless of the OS, the longer it takes to access any individual file, and on most OS's, the performance is non-linear, so to find one file out of 10,000 takes more then 10 times longer then to find a file in 1,000.

Secondary problems associated with having a lot of files in a directory include wild card expansion failures. To reduce the risks, you might consider ordering your directories by date of upload, or some other useful piece of metadata.

How to write log to file

I prefer the simplicity and flexibility of the 12 factor app recommendation for logging. To append to a log file you can use shell redirection. The default logger in Go writes to stderr (2).

./app 2>> logfile

Python: call a function from string name

You can use a dictionary too.

def install():
    print "In install"

methods = {'install': install}

method_name = 'install' # set by the command line options
if method_name in methods:
    methods[method_name]() # + argument list of course
else:
    raise Exception("Method %s not implemented" % method_name)

WARNING: Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt

This was my stupidity, but a stupidity that was not easy to identify :).

Problem:

  1. My code is compiled on Jdk 1.8.
  2. My eclipse, had JDK 1.8 as the compiler.
  3. My tomcat in eclipse was using Java 1.7 for its container, hence it was not able to understand the .class files which were compiled using 1.8.
  4. To avoid the problem, ensure in your eclipse, double click on your server -> Open Launch configuration -> Classpath -> JRE System Library -> Give the JDK/JRE of the compiled version of java class, in my case, it had to be JDK 1.8
    1. Post this, clean the server, build and redeploy, start the tomcat.

If you are deploying manually into your server, ensure your JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME points to the correct JDK which you used to compile the project and build the war.

If you do not like to change JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME, you can always change the JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME in catalina.bat(for tomcat server) and that'll enable your life to be easy!

xlsxwriter: is there a way to open an existing worksheet in my workbook?

You can use the workbook.get_worksheet_by_name() feature: https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/workbook.html#get_worksheet_by_name

According to https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/changes.html the feature has been added on May 13, 2016.

"Release 0.8.7 - May 13 2016

-Fix for issue when inserting read-only images on Windows. Issue #352.

-Added get_worksheet_by_name() method to allow the retrieval of a worksheet from a workbook via its name.

-Fixed issue where internal file creation and modification dates were in the local timezone instead of UTC."

What is pluginManagement in Maven's pom.xml?

pluginManagement: is an element that is seen along side plugins. Plugin Management contains plugin elements in much the same way, except that rather than configuring plugin information for this particular project build, it is intended to configure project builds that inherit from this one. However, this only configures plugins that are actually referenced within the plugins element in the children. The children have every right to override pluginManagement definitions.

From http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugin%5FManagement

Copied from :

Maven2 - problem with pluginManagement and parent-child relationship

So need to check if this brnach really exists remotely.

Just like in this question (npm global path prefix) all you need is to set proper npm prefix.

UNIX:

$ npm config set prefix /usr/local
$ npm install -g bower

$ which bower
>> /usr/local/bin/bower

Windows ans NVM:

$ npm config set prefix /c/Users/xxxxxxx/AppData/Roaming/nvm/v8.9.2
$ npm install -g bower

Then bower should be located just in your $PATH.

Batch File; List files in directory, only filenames?

The full command is:

dir /b /a-d

Let me break it up;

Basically the /b is what you look for.

/a-d will exclude the directory names.


For more information see dir /? for other arguments that you can use with the dir command.

Detect all changes to a <input type="text"> (immediately) using JQuery

We actually don't need to setup loops for detecting javaScript changes. We already setting up many event listeners to the element we want to detect. just triggering any un harmful event will make the job.

$("input[name='test-element']").on("propertychange change click keyup input paste blur", function(){
console.log("yeh thats worked!");
});

$("input[name='test-element']").val("test").trigger("blur");

and ofc this is only available if you have the full control on javascript changes on your project.

C#: Dynamic runtime cast

I think you're confusing the issues of casting and converting here.

  • Casting: The act of changing the type of a reference which points to an object. Either moving up or down the object hierarchy or to an implemented interface
  • Converting: Creating a new object from the original source object of a different type and accessing it through a reference to that type.

It's often hard to know the difference between the 2 in C# because both of them use the same C# operator: the cast.

In this situation you are almost certainly not looking for a cast operation. Casting a dynamic to another dynamic is essentially an identity conversion. It provides no value because you're just getting a dynamic reference back to the same underlying object. The resulting lookup would be no different.

Instead what you appear to want in this scenario is a conversion. That is morphing the underlying object to a different type and accessing the resulting object in a dynamic fashion. The best API for this is Convert.ChangeType.

public static dynamic Convert(dynamic source, Type dest) {
  return Convert.ChangeType(source, dest);
}

EDIT

The updated question has the following line:

obj definitely implements castTo

If this is the case then the Cast method doesn't need to exist. The source object can simply be assigned to a dynamic reference.

dynamic d = source;

It sounds like what you're trying to accomplish is to see a particular interface or type in the hierarchy of source through a dynamic reference. That is simply not possible. The resulting dynamic reference will see the implementation object directly. It doesn't look through any particular type in the hierarchy of source. So the idea of casting to a different type in the hierarchy and then back to dynamic is exactly identical to just assigning to dynamic in the first place. It will still point to the same underlying object.

Only detect click event on pseudo-element

No,but you can do like this

In html file add this section

<div class="arrow">
</div>

In css you can do like this

p div.arrow {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    left:100%;
    width: 10px;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: red;
} 

Hope it will help you

How can I bind a background color in WPF/XAML?

I recommend reading the following blog post about debugging data binding: http://beacosta.com/blog/?p=52

And for this concrete issue: If you look at the compiler warnings, you will notice that you property has been hiding the Window.Background property (or Control or whatever class the property defines).

html table span entire width?

There might be a margin style that your table is inheriting. Try setting the margin of the table to 0:

<table border="1" width="100%" ID="Table2" style="margin: 0px;">
<tr>
  <td>100</td>
</tr>
</table>

Android Studio - Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']

Inside my project there is a .gradle folder which had cached the previous gradle version I was using (5.4.1) and gradle kept using that instead of my newly downloaded one (5.6.4).

Simply:

  1. Close Android Studio
  2. Delete the older gradle version folders from your project.
  3. Restart Android Studio. Everything should be working correctly

In case this didn't work you can also try the following:

  • Delete all versions in project .gradle folder so only the new one is redownloaded by AS when reopening the IDE.
  • Check your project settings for gradle build version and make sure it is set to the latest one.
  • Check that other modules aren't using older versions of the gradle build. You can search for this using project search (Ctrl+Shift+F) for "distributionUrl" and making sure that all modules have the latest version.
  • Delete .gradle/caches under your root gradle folder, usually C://Users/{you}/.gradle
  • try gradle build --stacktrace, --info, --scan or --debug in your AS terminal to get help and more info to debug your problem.

Returning anonymous type in C#

You can return list of objects in this case.

public List<object> TheMethod(SomeParameter)
{
  using (MyDC TheDC = new MyDC())
  {
     var TheQueryFromDB = (....
                           select new { SomeVariable = ....,
                                        AnotherVariable = ....}
                           ).ToList();

      return TheQueryFromDB ;
    }
}

A field initializer cannot reference the nonstatic field, method, or property

You need to put that code into the constructor of your class:

private Reminders reminder = new Reminders();
private dynamic defaultReminder;

public YourClass()
{
    defaultReminder = reminder.TimeSpanText[TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15)];
}

The reason is that you can't use one instance variable to initialize another one using a field initializer.

Thin Black Border for a Table

Style the td and th instead

td, th {
    border: 1px solid black;
}

And also to make it so there is no spacing between cells use:

table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

(also note, you have border-style: none; which should be border-style: solid;)

See an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/KbjNr/

Best practices for styling HTML emails

'Fraid so. I'd make an HTML page with a stylesheet, then use jQuery to apply the stylesheet to the style attr of each element. Something like this:

var styleAttributes = ['color','font-size']; // all the attributes you've applied in your stylesheet
for (i in styleAttributes) {
    $('body *').css(styleAttributes[i],function () {
        $(this).css(styleAttributes[i]);
    });
}

Then copy the DOM and use that in the email.

Import Android volley to Android Studio

Way too complicated guys. Just include it in your gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.17'
}

How can I find the last element in a List<>?

I would have to agree a foreach would be a lot easier something like

foreach(AllIntegerIDs allIntegerIDs in integerList)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\n", allIntegerIDs.m_MessageID,
allIntegerIDs.m_MessageType,
allIntegerIDs.m_ClassID,
allIntegerIDs.m_CategoryID,
allIntegerIDs.m_MessageText);
}

Also I would suggest you add properties to access your information instead of public fields, depending on your .net version you can add it like public int MessageType {get; set;} and get rid of the m_ from your public fields, properties etc as it shouldnt be there.

MVC4 DataType.Date EditorFor won't display date value in Chrome, fine in Internet Explorer

As an addition to Darin Dimitrov's answer:

If you only want this particular line to use a certain (different from standard) format, you can use in MVC5:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Property, new {htmlAttributes = new {@Value = @Model.Property.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"), @class = "customclass" } })

Function to get yesterday's date in Javascript in format DD/MM/YYYY

How to make a text box have rounded corners?

You could use CSS to do that, but it wouldn't be supported in IE8-. You can use some site like http://borderradius.com to come up with actual CSS you'd use, which would look something like this (again, depending on how many browsers you're trying to support):

-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;

What is the difference between AF_INET and PF_INET in socket programming?

In fact, AF_ and PF_ are the same thing. There are some words on Wikipedia will clear your confusion

The original design concept of the socket interface distinguished between protocol types (families) and the specific address types that each may use. It was envisioned that a protocol family may have several address types. Address types were defined by additional symbolic constants, using the prefix AF_ instead of PF_. The AF_-identifiers are intended for all data structures that specifically deal with the address type and not the protocol family. However, this concept of separation of protocol and address type has not found implementation support and the AF_-constants were simply defined by the corresponding protocol identifier, rendering the distinction between AF_ versus PF_ constants a technical argument of no significant practical consequence. Indeed, much confusion exists in the proper usage of both forms.

Read and write into a file using VBScript

Find more about the FileSystemObject object at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa242706(v=vs.60).aspx. For good VBScript, I recommend:

  • Option Explicit to help detect typos in variables.
  • Function and Sub to improve readilbity and reuse
  • Const so that well known constants are given names

Here's some code to read and write text to a text file:

Option Explicit

Const fsoForReading = 1
Const fsoForWriting = 2

Function LoadStringFromFile(filename)
    Dim fso, f
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, fsoForReading)
    LoadStringFromFile = f.ReadAll
    f.Close
End Function

Sub SaveStringToFile(filename, text)
    Dim fso, f
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, fsoForWriting)
    f.Write text
    f.Close
End Sub

SaveStringToFile "f.txt", "Hello World" & vbCrLf
MsgBox LoadStringFromFile("f.txt")

datatable jquery - table header width not aligned with body width

I was facing the same issue. I added the scrollX: true property for the dataTable and it worked. There is no need to change the CSS for datatable

jQuery('#myTable').DataTable({
                            "fixedHeader":true,
                            "scrollY":"450px",
                            "scrollX":true,
                            "paging":   false,

                            "info":     false,
                            "searching": false,
                            "scrollCollapse": true
                            });

How do you completely remove the button border in wpf?

You may already know that putting your Button inside of a ToolBar gives you this behavior, but if you want something that will work across ALL current themes with any sort of predictability, you'll need to create a new ControlTemplate.

Prashant's solution does not work with a Button not in a toolbar when the Button has focus. It also doesn't work 100% with the default theme in XP -- you can still see faint gray borders when your container Background is white.

Changing the resolution of a VNC session in linux

Found out that the vnc4server (4.1.1) shipped with Ubuntu (10.04) is patched to also support changing the resolution on the fly via xrandr. Unfortunately the feature was hard to find because it is undocumented. So here it is...

Start the server with multiple 'geometry' instances, like:

vnc4server -geometry 1280x1024 -geometry 800x600

From a terminal in a vncviewer (with: 'allow dymanic desktop resizing' enabled) use xrandr to view the available modes:

xrandr

to change the resulution, for example use:

xrandr -s 800x600

Thats it.

Split (explode) pandas dataframe string entry to separate rows

Here is a fairly straightforward message that uses the split method from pandas str accessor and then uses NumPy to flatten each row into a single array.

The corresponding values are retrieved by repeating the non-split column the correct number of times with np.repeat.

var1 = df.var1.str.split(',', expand=True).values.ravel()
var2 = np.repeat(df.var2.values, len(var1) / len(df))

pd.DataFrame({'var1': var1,
              'var2': var2})

  var1  var2
0    a     1
1    b     1
2    c     1
3    d     2

Default keystore file does not exist?

You must be providing the wrong path to the debug.keystore file.

Follow these steps to get the correct path and complete your command:

  1. In eclipse, click the Window menu -> Preferences -> Expand Android -> Build
  2. In the right panel, look for: Default debug keystore:
  3. Select the entire box next to the label specified in Step 2

And finally, use the path you just copied from Step 3 to construct your command:

For example, in my case, it would be:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\Siddharth Lele.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

UPDATED:

If you had already followed the steps mentioned above, the only other solution is to delete the debug.keystore and let Eclipse recreate it for you.

Step 1: Go to the path where your keystore is stored. In your case, C:\Users\Suresh\.android\debug.keystore

Step 2: Close and restart Eclipse.

Step 3 (Optional): You may need to clean your project before the debug.keystore is created again.

Source: http://www.coderanch.com/t/440920/Security/KeyTool-genkeypair-exception-Keystore-file

You can refer to this for the part about deleting your debug.keystore file: "Debug certificate expired" error in Eclipse Android plugins

Get generic type of class at runtime

I dont think you can, Java uses type erasure when compiling so your code is compatible with applications and libraries that were created pre-generics.

From the Oracle Docs:

Type Erasure

Generics were introduced to the Java language to provide tighter type checks at compile time and to support generic programming. To implement generics, the Java compiler applies type erasure to:

Replace all type parameters in generic types with their bounds or Object if the type parameters are unbounded. The produced bytecode, therefore, contains only ordinary classes, interfaces, and methods. Insert type casts if necessary to preserve type safety. Generate bridge methods to preserve polymorphism in extended generic types. Type erasure ensures that no new classes are created for parameterized types; consequently, generics incur no runtime overhead.

How to store values from foreach loop into an array?

this question seem quite old but incase you come pass it, you can use the PHP inbuilt function array_push() to push data in an array using the example below.

<?php
    $item = array();
    foreach($group_membership as $i => $username) {
        array_push($item, $username);
    }
    print_r($items);
?>

How do I get the dialer to open with phone number displayed?

As @ashishduh mentioned above, using android:autoLink="phone is also a good solution. But this option comes with one drawback, it doesn't work with all phone number lengths. For instance, a phone number of 11 numbers won't work with this option. The solution is to prefix your phone numbers with the country code.

Example:

08034448845 won't work

but +2348034448845 will

CSS text-overflow: ellipsis; not working?

I faced the same issue and it seems like none of the solution above works for Safari. For non-safari browser, this works just fine:

display: block; /* or in-line block according to your requirement */
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;

For Safari, this is the one that works for me. Note that the media query to check if the browser is Safari might change over time, so just tinker with the media query if it doesn't work for you. With line-clamp property, it would also be possible to have multiple lines in the web with ellipsis, see here.

// Media-query for Safari-only browser.
@media not all and (min-resolution: 0.001dpcm) {
  @media {
    -webkit-line-clamp: 1;
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    display: -webkit-box;
    white-space: normal;
  }
}

How to specify the port an ASP.NET Core application is hosted on?

You can insert Kestrel section in asp.net core 2.1+ appsettings.json file.

  "Kestrel": {
    "EndPoints": {
      "Http": {
        "Url": "http://0.0.0.0:5002"
      }
    }
  },

Using $state methods with $stateChangeStart toState and fromState in Angular ui-router

Suggestion 1

When you add an object to $stateProvider.state that object is then passed with the state. So you can add additional properties which you can read later on when needed.

Example route configuration

$stateProvider
.state('public', {
    abstract: true,
    module: 'public'
})
.state('public.login', {
    url: '/login',
    module: 'public'
})
.state('tool', {
    abstract: true,
    module: 'private'
})
.state('tool.suggestions', {
    url: '/suggestions',
    module: 'private'
});

The $stateChangeStart event gives you acces to the toState and fromState objects. These state objects will contain the configuration properties.

Example check for the custom module property

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function(e, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
    if (toState.module === 'private' && !$cookies.Session) {
        // If logged out and transitioning to a logged in page:
        e.preventDefault();
        $state.go('public.login');
    } else if (toState.module === 'public' && $cookies.Session) {
        // If logged in and transitioning to a logged out page:
        e.preventDefault();
        $state.go('tool.suggestions');
    };
});

I didn't change the logic of the cookies because I think that is out of scope for your question.

Suggestion 2

You can create a Helper to get you this to work more modular.

Value publicStates

myApp.value('publicStates', function(){
    return {
      module: 'public',
      routes: [{
        name: 'login', 
        config: { 
          url: '/login'
        }
      }]
    };
});

Value privateStates

myApp.value('privateStates', function(){
    return {
      module: 'private',
      routes: [{
        name: 'suggestions', 
        config: { 
          url: '/suggestions'
        }
      }]
    };
});

The Helper

myApp.provider('stateshelperConfig', function () {
  this.config = {
    // These are the properties we need to set
    // $stateProvider: undefined
    process: function (stateConfigs){
      var module = stateConfigs.module;
      $stateProvider = this.$stateProvider;
      $stateProvider.state(module, {
        abstract: true,
        module: module
      });
      angular.forEach(stateConfigs, function (route){
        route.config.module = module;
        $stateProvider.state(module + route.name, route.config);
      });
    }
  };

  this.$get = function () {
    return {
      config: this.config
    };
  };
});

Now you can use the helper to add the state configuration to your state configuration.

myApp.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', 
    'stateshelperConfigProvider', 'publicStates', 'privateStates',
  function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, helper, publicStates, privateStates) {
    helper.config.$stateProvider = $stateProvider;
    helper.process(publicStates);
    helper.process(privateStates);
}]);

This way you can abstract the repeated code, and come up with a more modular solution.

Note: the code above isn't tested

org.hibernate.NonUniqueResultException: query did not return a unique result: 2?

It seems like your query returns more than one result check the database. In documentation of query.uniqueResult() you can read:

Throws: org.hibernate.NonUniqueResultException - if there is more than one matching result

If you want to avoid this error and still use unique result request, you can use this kind of workaround query.setMaxResults(1).uniqueResult();

SQL left join vs multiple tables on FROM line?

The first way is the older standard. The second method was introduced in SQL-92, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL. The complete standard can be viewed at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt .

It took many years before database companies adopted the SQL-92 standard.

So the reason why the second method is preferred, it is the SQL standard according the ANSI and ISO standards committee.

Jquery submit form

You don't really need to do it all in jQuery to do that smoothly. Do it like this:

$(".nextbutton").click(function() { 
   document.forms["form1"].submit();
});

How to add a custom right-click menu to a webpage?

I use something similar to the following jsfiddle

function onright(el, cb) {
    //disable right click
    document.body.oncontextmenu = 'return false';
    el.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); return false });
    el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
        e = e || window.event;
        if (~~(e.button) === 2) {
            if (e.preventDefault) {
                e.preventDefault();
            } else {
                e.returnValue = false;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

    // then bind Your cb
    el.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
        e = e || window.event;
        ~~(e.button) === 2 && cb.call(el, e);
    });
}

if You target older IE browsers you should anyway complete it with the ' attachEvent; case

jQuery trigger file input

You can click the input file from your JQuery while keeping it hidden fully.

I am using this:

< input type="file" name="article_input_file" id="article_input_file" accept=".xlsx,.xls" style="display: none" >

$("#article_input_file").click();

this works from within any standard script tag in your HTML page.

How do I include a JavaScript script file in Angular and call a function from that script?

Refer the scripts inside the angular-cli.json (angular.json when using angular 6+) file.

"scripts": [
    "../path" 
 ];

then add in typings.d.ts (create this file in src if it does not already exist)

declare var variableName:any;

Import it in your file as

import * as variable from 'variableName';

Nginx not running with no error message

Check the daemon option in nginx.conf file. It has to be ON. Or you can simply rip out this line from config file. This option is fully described here http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#daemon

Read from file or stdin

You're thinking it wrong.

What you are trying to do:

If stdin exists use it, else check whether the user supplied a filename.

What you should be doing instead:

If the user supplies a filename, then use the filename. Else use stdin.

You cannot know the total length of an incoming stream unless you read it all and keep it buffered. You just cannot seek backwards into pipes. This is a limitation of how pipes work. Pipes are not suitable for all tasks and sometimes intermediate files are required.

How to Copy Contents of One Canvas to Another Canvas Locally

@robert-hurst has a cleaner approach.

However, this solution may also be used, in places when you actually want to have a copy of Data Url after copying. For example, when you are building a website that uses lots of image/canvas operations.

    // select canvas elements
    var sourceCanvas = document.getElementById("some-unique-id");
    var destCanvas = document.getElementsByClassName("some-class-selector")[0];

    //copy canvas by DataUrl
    var sourceImageData = sourceCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");
    var destCanvasContext = destCanvas.getContext('2d');

Understanding Matlab FFT example

It sounds like you need to some background reading on what an FFT is (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFT). But to answer your questions:

Why does the x-axis (frequency) end at 500?

Because the input vector is length 1000. In general, the FFT of a length-N input waveform will result in a length-N output vector. If the input waveform is real, then the output will be symmetrical, so the first 501 points are sufficient.

Edit: (I didn't notice that the example padded the time-domain vector.)

The frequency goes to 500 Hz because the time-domain waveform is declared to have a sample-rate of 1 kHz. The Nyquist sampling theorem dictates that a signal with sample-rate fs can support a (real) signal with a maximum bandwidth of fs/2.

How do I know the frequencies are between 0 and 500?

See above.

Shouldn't the FFT tell me, in which limits the frequencies are?

No.

Does the FFT only return the amplitude value without the frequency?

The FFT simply assigns an amplitude (and phase) to every frequency bin.

How to convert a Java object (bean) to key-value pairs (and vice versa)?

Use juffrou-reflect's BeanWrapper. It is very performant.

Here is how you can transform a bean into a map:

public static Map<String, Object> getBeanMap(Object bean) {
    Map<String, Object> beanMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    BeanWrapper beanWrapper = new BeanWrapper(BeanWrapperContext.create(bean.getClass()));
    for(String propertyName : beanWrapper.getPropertyNames())
        beanMap.put(propertyName, beanWrapper.getValue(propertyName));
    return beanMap;
}

I developed Juffrou myself. It's open source, so you are free to use it and modify. And if you have any questions regarding it, I'll be more than happy to respond.

Cheers

CSS fixed width in a span

In an ideal world you'd achieve this simply using the following css

<style type="text/css">

span {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 50px;
}

</style>

This works on all browsers apart from FF2 and below.

Firefox 2 and lower don't support this value. You can use -moz-inline-box, but be aware that it's not the same as inline-block, and it may not work as you expect in some situations.

How to check if a column exists in a SQL Server table?

Execute the below query to check if the column exists in the given table:

IF(SELECT COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = 'TableName' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'ColumnName') IS NOT NULL
PRINT 'Column Exists in the given table';

Resize height with Highcharts

Ricardo's answer is correct, however: sometimes you may find yourself in a situation where the container simply doesn't resize as desired as the browser window changes size, thus not allowing highcharts to resize itself.

This always works:

  1. Set up a timed and pipelined resize event listener. Example with 500ms on jsFiddle
  2. use chart.setSize(width, height, doAnimation = true); in your actual resize function to set the height and width dynamically
  3. Set reflow: false in the highcharts-options and of course set height and width explicitly on creation. As we'll be doing our own resize event handling there's no need Highcharts hooks in another one.

Entity Framework - Linq query with order by and group by

Your requirements are all over the place, but this is the solution to my understanding of them:

To group by Reference property:

var refGroupQuery = (from m in context.Measurements
            group m by m.Reference into refGroup
            select refGroup);

Now you say you want to limit results by "most recent numOfEntries" - I take this to mean you want to limit the returned Measurements... in that case:

var limitedQuery = from g in refGroupQuery
                   select new
                   {
                       Reference = g.Key,
                       RecentMeasurements = g.OrderByDescending( p => p.CreationTime ).Take( numOfEntries )
                   }

To order groups by first Measurement creation time (note you should order the measurements; if you want the earliest CreationTime value, substitue "g.SomeProperty" with "g.CreationTime"):

var refGroupsOrderedByFirstCreationTimeQuery = limitedQuery.OrderBy( lq => lq.RecentMeasurements.OrderBy( g => g.SomeProperty ).First().CreationTime );

To order groups by average CreationTime, use the Ticks property of the DateTime struct:

var refGroupsOrderedByAvgCreationTimeQuery = limitedQuery.OrderBy( lq => lq.RecentMeasurements.Average( g => g.CreationTime.Ticks ) );

Markdown `native` text alignment

How do I use MySQL through XAMPP?

XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl (X -any OS)

  • After successful installation execute xampp-control.exe in XAMPP folder
  • Start Apache and MySQL enter image description here

  • Open browser and in url type localhost or 127.0.0.1

  • then you are welcomed with dashboard

By default your port is listing with 80.If you want you can change it to your desired port number in httpd.conf file.(If port 80 is already using with other app then you have to change it).

For example you changed port number 80 to 8090 then you can run as 'localhost:8090' or '127.0.0.1:8090'

error: (-215) !empty() in function detectMultiScale

You can solve this problem by placing XML in the same directory in which your main python file (from where you tried to include this file) was placed. Now the next step is to use full path. For example

This will not work

front_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('./haarcascade_eye.xml')

Use full path, now it will work fine

front_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('/Users/xyz/Documents/project/haarcascade_eye.xml')

Android: how to refresh ListView contents?

I too have tried invalidate(), invalidateViews(), notifyDataSetChanged(). They all might work in some particular contexts but it did not do the job in my case.

In my case, I had to add some new rows to the list and it just does not work. Creating a new adapter solved the issue.

While debugging, I realized that the data was there but just not rendered. If invalidate() or invalidateViews() does not render (which it is supposed to), I don't know what would.

Creating a new Adapter object to refresh modified data does not seem to be a bad idea. It definitely works. The only downside could be the time consumed in allocating new memory for your adapter but that should be OK assuming the Android system is smart enough and takes care of that to keep it efficient.

If you take this out of the equation, the flow is almost same as to calling notifyDataSetChanged. In the sense, the same set of adapter functions are called in either case.

So we are not losing much but gaining a lot.

exclude @Component from @ComponentScan

Using explicit types in scan filters is ugly for me. I believe more elegant approach is to create own marker annotation:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface IgnoreDuringScan {
}

Mark component that should be excluded with it:

@Component("foo") 
@IgnoreDuringScan
class Foo {
    ...
}

And exclude this annotation from your component scan:

@ComponentScan(excludeFilters = @Filter(IgnoreDuringScan.class))
public class MySpringConfiguration {}

ReferenceError: event is not defined error in Firefox

It is because you forgot to pass in event into the click function:

$('.menuOption').on('click', function (e) { // <-- the "e" for event

    e.preventDefault(); // now it'll work

    var categories = $(this).attr('rel');
    $('.pages').hide();
    $(categories).fadeIn();
});

On a side note, e is more commonly used as opposed to the word event since Event is a global variable in most browsers.

How to clear Route Caching on server: Laravel 5.2.37

If you are uploading your files through GIT from your local machine then you can use the same command you are using in your local machine while you are connected to your live server using BASH or something like.You can use this as like you use locally.

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan route:cache

It should work.

Check whether a variable is a string in Ruby

A more duck-typing approach would be to say

foo.respond_to?(:to_str)

to_str indicates that an object's class may not be an actual descendant of the String, but the object itself is very much string-like (stringy?).

Display tooltip on Label's hover?

Are you find with using standard tooltip? You could use title attribute like

<label for="male" title="Hello This Will Have Some Value">Hello...</label>

You could add the title attribute of same value to the element that label is for as well.

No submodule mapping found in .gitmodule for a path that's not a submodule

Just had this problem. For a while I tried the advice about removing the path, git removing the path, removing .gitmodules, removing the entry from .git/config, adding the submodule back, then committing and pushing the change. It was puzzling because it looked like no change when I did "git commit -a" so I tried pushing just the removal, then pushing the readdition to make it look like a change.

After a while I noticed by accident that after removing everything, if I ran "git submodule update --init", it had a message about a specific name that git should no longer have had any reference to: the name of the repository the submodule was linking to, not the path name it was checking it out to. Grepping revealed that this reference was in .git/index. So I ran "git rm --cached repo-name" and then readded the module. When I committed this time, the commit message included a change that it was deleting this unexpected object. After that it works fine.

Not sure what happened, I'm guessing someone misused the git submodule command, maybe reversing the arguments. Could have been me even... Hope this helps someone!

Using C# regular expressions to remove HTML tags

The correct answer is don't do that, use the HTML Agility Pack.

Edited to add:

To shamelessly steal from the comment below by jesse, and to avoid being accused of inadequately answering the question after all this time, here's a simple, reliable snippet using the HTML Agility Pack that works with even most imperfectly formed, capricious bits of HTML:

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(Properties.Resources.HtmlContents);
var text = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//body//text()").Select(node => node.InnerText);
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
foreach (string line in text)
{
   output.AppendLine(line);
}
string textOnly = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(output.ToString());

There are very few defensible cases for using a regular expression for parsing HTML, as HTML can't be parsed correctly without a context-awareness that's very painful to provide even in a nontraditional regex engine. You can get part way there with a RegEx, but you'll need to do manual verifications.

Html Agility Pack can provide you a robust solution that will reduce the need to manually fix up the aberrations that can result from naively treating HTML as a context-free grammar.

A regular expression may get you mostly what you want most of the time, but it will fail on very common cases. If you can find a better/faster parser than HTML Agility Pack, go for it, but please don't subject the world to more broken HTML hackery.

SQL Column definition : default value and not null redundant?

I would say not.

If the column does accept null values, then there's nothing to stop you inserting a null value into the field. As far as I'm aware, the default value only applies on creation of a new row.

With not null set, then you can't insert a null value into the field as it'll throw an error.

Think of it as a fail safe mechanism to prevent nulls.

Escape double quotes in a string

No.

Either use verbatim string literals as you have, or escape the " using backslash.

string test = "He said to me, \"Hello World\" . How are you?";

The string has not changed in either case - there is a single escaped " in it. This is just a way to tell C# that the character is part of the string and not a string terminator.

How can I set the Secure flag on an ASP.NET Session Cookie?

There are two ways, one httpCookies element in web.config allows you to turn on requireSSL which only transmit all cookies including session in SSL only and also inside forms authentication, but if you turn on SSL on httpcookies you must also turn it on inside forms configuration too.

Edit for clarity: Put this in <system.web>

<httpCookies requireSSL="true" />

Multiple markers Google Map API v3 from array of addresses and avoid OVER_QUERY_LIMIT while geocoding on pageLoad

Answer to add multiple markers.

UPDATE (GEOCODE MULTIPLE ADDRESSES)

Here's the working Example Geocoding with multiple addresses.

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false">
 </script> 
 <script type="text/javascript">
  var delay = 100;
  var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 5,
    center: latlng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  }
  var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); 
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
  var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();

  function geocodeAddress(address, next) {
    geocoder.geocode({address:address}, function (results,status)
      { 
         if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
          var p = results[0].geometry.location;
          var lat=p.lat();
          var lng=p.lng();
          createMarker(address,lat,lng);
        }
        else {
           if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {

    );
  }
 function createMarker(add,lat,lng) {
   var contentString = add;
   var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
     position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng),
     map: map,
           });

  google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
     infowindow.setContent(contentString); 
     infowindow.open(map,marker);
   });

   bounds.extend(marker.position);

 }
  var locations = [

  ];
  var nextAddress = 0;
  function theNext() {
    if (nextAddress < locations.length) {
      setTimeout('geocodeAddress("'+locations[nextAddress]+'",theNext)', delay);
      nextAddress++;
    } else {
      map.fitBounds(bounds);
    }
  }
  theNext();

</script>

As we can resolve this issue with setTimeout() function.

Still we should not geocode known locations every time you load your page as said by @geocodezip

Another alternatives of these are explained very well in the following links:

How to include !important in jquery

If you really need to override css that has !important rules in it, for instance, in a case I ran into recently, overriding a wordpress theme required !important scss rules to break the theme, but since I was transpiling my code with webpack and (I assume this is why --)my css came along in the chain after the transpiled javascript, you can add a separate class rule in your stylesheet that overrides the first !important rule in the cascade, and toggle the heavier-weighted class rather than adjusting css dynamically. Just a thought.

Can't bind to 'dataSource' since it isn't a known property of 'table'

Remember to add MatTableModule in your app.module's imports i.e.

In Angular 9+

import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material/table'  

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatTableModule
    // ...
  ]
})

Less than Angular 9

import { MatTableModule } from '@angular/material'  

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    MatTableModule
    // ...
  ]
})

Using % for host when creating a MySQL user

As @nos pointed out in the comments of the currently accepted answer to this question, the accepted answer is incorrect.

Yes, there IS a difference between using % and localhost for the user account host when connecting via a socket connect instead of a standard TCP/IP connect.

A host value of % does not include localhost for sockets and thus must be specified if you want to connect using that method.

Html helper for <input type="file" />

Improved version of Paulius Zaliaduonis' answer:

In order to make the validation work properly I had to change the Model to:

public class ViewModel
{
      public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage="A header image is required"), FileExtensions(ErrorMessage = "Please upload an image file.")]
        public string FileName
        {
            get
            {
                if (File != null)
                    return File.FileName;
                else
                    return String.Empty;
            }
        }
}

and the view to:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post, new 
                                       { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.File, new { type = "file" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.FileName)
}

This is required because what @Serj Sagan wrote about FileExtension attribute working only with strings.

XPath to select Element by attribute value

jquery - check length of input field?

If you mean that you want to enable the submit after the user has typed at least one character, then you need to attach a key event that will check it for you.

Something like:

$("#fbss").keypress(function() {
    if($(this).val().length > 1) {
         // Enable submit button
    } else {
         // Disable submit button
    }
});

Finding partial text in range, return an index

This formula will do the job:

=INDEX(G:G,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(SEARCH(H1,G:G)),0)+3)

you need to enter it as an array formula, i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-Enter. It assumes that the substring you're searching for is in cell H1.

Where to put Gradle configuration (i.e. credentials) that should not be committed?

If you have user specific credentials ( i.e each developer might have different username/password ) then I would recommend using the gradle-properties-plugin.

  1. Put defaults in gradle.properties
  2. Each developer overrides with gradle-local.properties ( this should be git ignored ).

This is better than overriding using $USER_HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties because different projects might have same property names.

Best way to increase heap size in catalina.bat file

If you look in your installation's bin directory you will see catalina.sh or .bat scripts. If you look in these you will see that they run a setenv.sh or setenv.bat script respectively, if it exists, to set environment variables. The relevant environment variables are described in the comments at the top of catalina.sh/bat. To use them create, for example, a file $CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh with contents

export JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xmx512m"

For Windows you will need, in setenv.bat, something like

set JAVA_OPTS=-server -Xmx768m

Original answer here

After you run startup.bat, you can easily confirm the correct settings have been applied provided you have turned @echo on somewhere in your catatlina.bat file (a good place could be immediately after echo Using CLASSPATH: "%CLASSPATH%"):

How to fill 100% of remaining height?

You should be able to do this if you add in a div (#header below) to wrap your contents of 1.

  1. If you float #header, the content from #someid will be forced to flow around it.

  2. Next, you set #header's width to 100%. This will make it expand to fill the width of the containing div, #full. This will effectively push all of #someid's content below #header since there is no room to flow around the sides anymore.

  3. Finally, set #someid's height to 100%, this will make it the same height as #full.

JSFiddle

HTML

<div id="full">
    <div id="header">Contents of 1</div>
    <div id="someid">Contents of 2</div>
</div>

CSS

html, body, #full, #someid {
  height: 100%;
}

#header {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

Update

I think it's worth mentioning that flexbox is well supported across modern browsers today. The CSS could be altered have #full become a flex container, and #someid should set it's flex grow to a value greater than 0.

html, body, #full {
  height: 100%;
}

#full {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

#someid {
  flex-grow: 1;
}

Force "git push" to overwrite remote files

You want to force push

What you basically want to do is to force push your local branch, in order to overwrite the remote one.

If you want a more detailed explanation of each of the following commands, then see my details section below. You basically have 4 different options for force pushing with Git:

git push <remote> <branch> -f
git push origin master -f # Example

git push <remote> -f
git push origin -f # Example

git push -f

git push <remote> <branch> --force-with-lease

If you want a more detailed explanation of each command, then see my long answers section below.

Warning: force pushing will overwrite the remote branch with the state of the branch that you're pushing. Make sure that this is what you really want to do before you use it, otherwise you may overwrite commits that you actually want to keep.

Force pushing details

Specifying the remote and branch

You can completely specify specific branches and a remote. The -f flag is the short version of --force

git push <remote> <branch> --force
git push <remote> <branch> -f

Omitting the branch

When the branch to push branch is omitted, Git will figure it out based on your config settings. In Git versions after 2.0, a new repo will have default settings to push the currently checked-out branch:

git push <remote> --force

while prior to 2.0, new repos will have default settings to push multiple local branches. The settings in question are the remote.<remote>.push and push.default settings (see below).

Omitting the remote and the branch

When both the remote and the branch are omitted, the behavior of just git push --force is determined by your push.default Git config settings:

git push --force
  • As of Git 2.0, the default setting, simple, will basically just push your current branch to its upstream remote counter-part. The remote is determined by the branch's branch.<remote>.remote setting, and defaults to the origin repo otherwise.

  • Before Git version 2.0, the default setting, matching, basically just pushes all of your local branches to branches with the same name on the remote (which defaults to origin).

You can read more push.default settings by reading git help config or an online version of the git-config(1) Manual Page.

Force pushing more safely with --force-with-lease

Force pushing with a "lease" allows the force push to fail if there are new commits on the remote that you didn't expect (technically, if you haven't fetched them into your remote-tracking branch yet), which is useful if you don't want to accidentally overwrite someone else's commits that you didn't even know about yet, and you just want to overwrite your own:

git push <remote> <branch> --force-with-lease

You can learn more details about how to use --force-with-lease by reading any of the following:

How do I get git to default to ssh and not https for new repositories

You need to clone in ssh not in https.

For that you need to set your ssh keys. I have prepared this little script that automates this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
email="$1"
hostname="$2"
hostalias="$hostname"
keypath="$HOME/.ssh/${hostname}_rsa"
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C $email -f $keypath
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
cat >> ~/.ssh/config <<EOF
Host $hostalias
        Hostname $hostname *.$hostname
        User git
    IdentitiesOnly yes
        IdentityFile $keypath
EOF
fi

and run it like

bash script.sh [email protected] github.com

Change your remote url

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:user/foo.git

Add content of ~/.ssh/github.com_rsa.pub to your ssh keys on github.com

Check connection

ssh -T [email protected]

adding onclick event to dynamically added button?

Try this:

var inputTag = document.createElement("div");              
inputTag.innerHTML = "<input type = 'button' value = 'oooh' onClick = 'your_function_name()'>";    
document.body.appendChild(inputTag);

This creates a button inside a DIV which works perfectly!

How do I set the selected item in a drop down box

A Simple Solution: It work's for me

<div class="form-group">

    <select class="form-control" id="mcategory" name="mcategory" required>
        <option value="">Please select category</option>
        <?php foreach ($result_cat as $result): ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $result['name'];?>"<?php 
           if($result['name']==$mcategory){
               echo 'selected';
           } ?>><?php echo $result['name']; ?></option>
                                        }
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </select>
</div>

javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException : Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher

The algorithm you are using, "AES", is a shorthand for "AES/ECB/NoPadding". What this means is that you are using the AES algorithm with 128-bit key size and block size, with the ECB mode of operation and no padding.

In other words: you are only able to encrypt data in blocks of 128 bits or 16 bytes. That's why you are getting that IllegalBlockSizeException exception.

If you want to encrypt data in sizes that are not multiple of 16 bytes, you are either going to have to use some kind of padding, or a cipher-stream. For instance, you could use CBC mode (a mode of operation that effectively transforms a block cipher into a stream cipher) by specifying "AES/CBC/NoPadding" as the algorithm, or PKCS5 padding by specifying "AES/ECB/PKCS5", which will automatically add some bytes at the end of your data in a very specific format to make the size of the ciphertext multiple of 16 bytes, and in a way that the decryption algorithm will understand that it has to ignore some data.

In any case, I strongly suggest that you stop right now what you are doing and go study some very introductory material on cryptography. For instance, check Crypto I on Coursera. You should understand very well the implications of choosing one mode or another, what are their strengths and, most importantly, their weaknesses. Without this knowledge, it is very easy to build systems which are very easy to break.


Update: based on your comments on the question, don't ever encrypt passwords when storing them at a database!!!!! You should never, ever do this. You must HASH the passwords, properly salted, which is completely different from encrypting. Really, please, don't do what you are trying to do... By encrypting the passwords, they can be decrypted. What this means is that you, as the database manager and who knows the secret key, you will be able to read every password stored in your database. Either you knew this and are doing something very, very bad, or you didn't know this, and should get shocked and stop it.

Double array initialization in Java

This is array initializer syntax, and it can only be used on the right-hand-side when declaring a variable of array type. Example:

int[] x = {1,2,3,4};
String y = {"a","b","c"};

If you're not on the RHS of a variable declaration, use an array constructor instead:

int[] x;
x = new int[]{1,2,3,4};
String y;
y = new String[]{"a","b","c"};

These declarations have the exact same effect: a new array is allocated and constructed with the specified contents.

In your case, it might actually be clearer (less repetitive, but a bit less concise) to specify the table programmatically:

double[][] m = new double[4][4];

for(int i=0; i<4; i++) {
    for(int j=0; j<4; j++) {
        m[i][j] = i*j;
    }
}

ng-if, not equal to?

Here is a nifty solution with a filter:

app.filter('status', function() {

  var statusDict = {
    0: "No payment",
    1: "Late",
    2: "Late",
    3: "Some payment made",
    4: "Some payment made",
    5: "Some payment made",
    6: "Late and further taken out"
  };

  return function(status) {
    return statusDict[status] || 'Error';
  };
});

Markup:

<div ng-repeat="details in myDataSet">
  <p>{{ details.Name }}</p>
  <p>{{ details.DOB  }}</p>
  <p>{{ details.Payment[0].Status | status }}</p>
  <p>{{ details.Gender}}</p>
</div>

What does auto do in margin:0 auto?

When you have specified a width on the object that you have applied margin: 0 auto to, the object will sit centrally within it's parent container.

Specifying auto as the second parameter basically tells the browser to automatically determine the left and right margins itself, which it does by setting them equally. It guarantees that the left and right margins will be set to the same size. The first parameter 0 indicates that the top and bottom margins will both be set to 0.

margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;

Therefore, to give you an example, if the parent is 100px and the child is 50px, then the auto property will determine that there's 50px of free space to share between margin-left and margin-right:

var freeSpace = 100 - 50;
var equalShare = freeSpace / 2;

Which would give:

margin-left:25;
margin-right:25;

Have a look at this jsFiddle. You do not have to specify the parent width, only the width of the child object.

QR Code encoding and decoding using zxing

Maybe worth looking at QRGen, which is built on top of ZXing and supports UTF-8 with this kind of syntax:

// if using special characters don't forget to supply the encoding
VCard johnSpecial = new VCard("Jöhn D?e")
                        .setAdress("ëåäö? Sträät 1, 1234 Döestüwn");
QRCode.from(johnSpecial).withCharset("UTF-8").file();

What are the time complexities of various data structures?

Arrays

  • Set, Check element at a particular index: O(1)
  • Searching: O(n) if array is unsorted and O(log n) if array is sorted and something like a binary search is used,
  • As pointed out by Aivean, there is no Delete operation available on Arrays. We can symbolically delete an element by setting it to some specific value, e.g. -1, 0, etc. depending on our requirements
  • Similarly, Insert for arrays is basically Set as mentioned in the beginning

ArrayList:

  • Add: Amortized O(1)
  • Remove: O(n)
  • Contains: O(n)
  • Size: O(1)

Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Doubly-Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Stack:

  • Push: O(1)
  • Pop: O(1)
  • Top: O(1)
  • Search (Something like lookup, as a special operation): O(n) (I guess so)

Queue/Deque/Circular Queue:

  • Insert: O(1)
  • Remove: O(1)
  • Size: O(1)

Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(n)

Red-Black Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(log n)

Heap/PriorityQueue (min/max):

  • Find Min/Find Max: O(1)
  • Insert: O(log n)
  • Delete Min/Delete Max: O(log n)
  • Extract Min/Extract Max: O(log n)
  • Lookup, Delete (if at all provided): O(n), we will have to scan all the elements as they are not ordered like BST

HashMap/Hashtable/HashSet:

  • Insert/Delete: O(1) amortized
  • Re-size/hash: O(n)
  • Contains: O(1)

Excel VBA - Sum up a column

I have a label on my form receiving the sum of numbers from Column D in Sheet1. I am only interested in rows 2 to 50, you can use a row counter if your row count is dynamic. I have some blank entries as well in column D and they are ignored.

Me.lblRangeTotal = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D2:D50"))

I exactly agree with @deceze but I want to develop this "I get an error from the service" part of the question,

We getting this kind of errors as http 415

Http 415 Unsupported Media type error

The HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type client error response code indicates that the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in an unsupported format.

The format problem might be due to the request's indicated Content-Type or Content-Encoding, or as a result of inspecting the data directly.

In other words, such is seen in this example.

  • We have to set the correct content type and we have to accept the right content type as seen Add Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json. Otherwise, it will assume the default

XmlWriter to Write to a String Instead of to a File

Well I think the simplest and fastest solution here would be just to:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb, settings))
{
    ... // Whatever code you have/need :)

    sb = sb.Replace("encoding=\"utf-16\"", "encoding=\"utf-8\""); //Or whatever uft you want/use.
    //Before you finally save it:
    File.WriteAllText("path\\dataName.xml", sb.ToString());
}

How to add an auto-incrementing primary key to an existing table, in PostgreSQL?

I landed here because I was looking for something like that too. In my case, I was copying the data from a set of staging tables with many columns into one table while also assigning row ids to the target table. Here is a variant of the above approaches that I used. I added the serial column at the end of my target table. That way I don't have to have a placeholder for it in the Insert statement. Then a simple select * into the target table auto populated this column. Here are the two SQL statements that I used on PostgreSQL 9.6.4.

ALTER TABLE target ADD COLUMN some_column SERIAL;
INSERT INTO target SELECT * from source;

Styling Password Fields in CSS

The problem is that (as of 2016), for the password field, Firefox and Internet Explorer use the character "Black Circle" (?), which uses the Unicode code point 25CF, but Chrome uses the character "Bullet" (•), which uses the Unicode code point 2022.

As you can see, even in the StackOverflow font the two characters have different sizes.

The font you're using, "Lucida Sans Unicode", has an even greater disparity between the sizes of these two characters, leading to you noticing the difference.

The simple solution is to use a font in which both characters have similar sizes.

The fix could thus be to use a default font of the browser, which should render the characters in the password field just fine:

input[type="password"] {
    font-family: caption;
}

Python:Efficient way to check if dictionary is empty or not

How to POST a FORM from HTML to ASPX page

This is very possible. I mocked up 3 pages which should give you a proof of concept:

.aspx page:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:TextBox TextMode="password" ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    </div>
</form>

code behind:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    For Each s As String In Request.Form.AllKeys
        Response.Write(s & ": " & Request.Form(s) & "<br />")
    Next
End Sub

Separate HTML page:

<form action="http://localhost/MyTestApp/Default.aspx" method="post">
    <input name="TextBox1" type="text" value="" id="TextBox1" />
    <input name="TextBox2" type="password" id="TextBox2" />
    <input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Button" id="Button1" />
</form>

...and it regurgitates the form values as expected. If this isn't working, as others suggested, use a traffic analysis tool (fiddler, ethereal), because something probably isn't going where you're expecting.

Int division: Why is the result of 1/3 == 0?

Explicitly cast it as a double

double g = 1.0/3.0

This happens because Java uses the integer division operation for 1 and 3 since you entered them as integer constants.

How can I insert multiple rows into oracle with a sequence value?

It does not work because sequence does not work in following scenarios:

  • In a WHERE clause
  • In a GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause
  • In a DISTINCT clause
  • Along with a UNION or INTERSECT or MINUS
  • In a sub-query

Source: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORA-02287

However this does work:

insert into table_name
            (col1, col2)
  select my_seq.nextval, inner_view.*
    from (select 'some value' someval
            from dual
          union all
          select 'another value' someval
            from dual) inner_view;

Try it out:

create table table_name(col1 varchar2(100), col2 varchar2(100));

create sequence vcert.my_seq
start with 1
increment by 1
minvalue 0;

select * from  table_name;

What's the difference between faking, mocking, and stubbing?

I am surprised that this question has been around for so long and nobody has as yet provided an answer based on Roy Osherove's "The Art of Unit Testing".

In "3.1 Introducing stubs" defines a stub as:

A stub is a controllable replacement for an existing dependency (or collaborator) in the system. By using a stub, you can test your code without dealing with the dependency directly.

And defines the difference between stubs and mocks as:

The main thing to remember about mocks versus stubs is that mocks are just like stubs, but you assert against the mock object, whereas you do not assert against a stub.

Fake is just the name used for both stubs and mocks. For example when you don't care about the distinction between stubs and mocks.

The way Osherove's distinguishes between stubs and mocks, means that any class used as a fake for testing can be both a stub or a mock. Which it is for a specific test depends entirely on how you write the checks in your test.

  • When your test checks values in the class under test, or actually anywhere but the fake, the fake was used as a stub. It just provided values for the class under test to use, either directly through values returned by calls on it or indirectly through causing side effects (in some state) as a result of calls on it.
  • When your test checks values of the fake, it was used as a mock.

Example of a test where class FakeX is used as a stub:

const pleaseReturn5 = 5;
var fake = new FakeX(pleaseReturn5);
var cut = new ClassUnderTest(fake);

cut.SquareIt;

Assert.AreEqual(25, cut.SomeProperty);

The fake instance is used as a stub because the Assert doesn't use fake at all.

Example of a test where test class X is used as a mock:

const pleaseReturn5 = 5;
var fake = new FakeX(pleaseReturn5);
var cut = new ClassUnderTest(fake);

cut.SquareIt;

Assert.AreEqual(25, fake.SomeProperty);

In this case the Assert checks a value on fake, making that fake a mock.

Now, of course these examples are highly contrived, but I see great merit in this distinction. It makes you aware of how you are testing your stuff and where the dependencies of your test are.

I agree with Osherove's that

from a pure maintainability perspective, in my tests using mocks creates more trouble than not using them. That has been my experience, but I’m always learning something new.

Asserting against the fake is something you really want to avoid as it makes your tests highly dependent upon the implementation of a class that isn't the one under test at all. Which means that the tests for class ActualClassUnderTest can start breaking because the implementation for ClassUsedAsMock changed. And that sends up a foul smell to me. Tests for ActualClassUnderTest should preferably only break when ActualClassUnderTest is changed.

I realize that writing asserts against the fake is a common practice, especially when you are a mockist type of TDD subscriber. I guess I am firmly with Martin Fowler in the classicist camp (See Martin Fowler's "Mocks aren't Stubs") and like Osherove avoid interaction testing (which can only be done by asserting against the fake) as much as possible.

For fun reading on why you should avoid mocks as defined here, google for "fowler mockist classicist". You'll find a plethora of opinions.

Groovy String to Date

The first argument to parse() is the expected format. You have to change that to Date.parse("E MMM dd H:m:s z yyyy", testDate) for it to work. (Note you don't need to create a new Date object, it's a static method)

If you don't know in advance what format, you'll have to find a special parsing library for that. In Ruby there's a library called Chronic, but I'm not aware of a Groovy equivalent. Edit: There is a Java port of the library called jChronic, you might want to check it out.

Font Awesome icon inside text input element

My solution was to have a relative container around the input for holding the icon. That outer container has a ::after with the desired icon, positioned absolute within the container.

HTML:

<div class="button__outer">
    <input type="submit" class="button" value="Send"/>
</div>

SASS code:

.button {
 display: inline-block;
 width: auto;
 height: 60px;
 line-height: 60px;
}

.button__outer {
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: auto;

    &::after {

How do I make an http request using cookies on Android?

It turns out that Google Android ships with Apache HttpClient 4.0, and I was able to figure out how to do it using the "Form based logon" example in the HttpClient docs:

https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/master/httpclient5/src/test/java/org/apache/hc/client5/http/examples/ClientFormLogin.java


import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HTTP;

/**
 * A example that demonstrates how HttpClient APIs can be used to perform
 * form-based logon.
 */
public class ClientFormLogin {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

        HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://portal.sun.com/portal/dt");

        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

        System.out.println("Login form get: " + response.getStatusLine());
        if (entity != null) {
            entity.consumeContent();
        }
        System.out.println("Initial set of cookies:");
        List<Cookie> cookies = httpclient.getCookieStore().getCookies();
        if (cookies.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.println("None");
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < cookies.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println("- " + cookies.get(i).toString());
            }
        }

        HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost("https://portal.sun.com/amserver/UI/Login?" +
                "org=self_registered_users&" +
                "goto=/portal/dt&" +
                "gotoOnFail=/portal/dt?error=true");

        List <NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();
        nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("IDToken1", "username"));
        nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("IDToken2", "password"));

        httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8));

        response = httpclient.execute(httpost);
        entity = response.getEntity();

        System.out.println("Login form get: " + response.getStatusLine());
        if (entity != null) {
            entity.consumeContent();
        }

        System.out.println("Post logon cookies:");
        cookies = httpclient.getCookieStore().getCookies();
        if (cookies.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.println("None");
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < cookies.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println("- " + cookies.get(i).toString());
            }
        }

        // When HttpClient instance is no longer needed, 
        // shut down the connection manager to ensure
        // immediate deallocation of all system resources
        httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();        
    }
}

How to redirect output of an already running process

Dupx

Dupx is a simple *nix utility to redirect standard output/input/error of an already running process.

Motivation

I've often found myself in a situation where a process I started on a remote system via SSH takes much longer than I had anticipated. I need to break the SSH connection, but if I do so, the process will die if it tries to write something on stdout/error of a broken pipe. I wish I could suspend the process with ^Z and then do a

bg %1 >/tmp/stdout 2>/tmp/stderr 

Unfortunately this will not work (in shells I know).

Real-world examples of recursion

Since you don't seem to like computer science or mathy examples, here is a different one: wire puzzles.

Many wire puzzles involve removing a long closed loop of wire by working it in and out of wire rings. These puzzles are recursive. One of them is called "arrow dynamics". I am sue you could find it if you google for "arrow dynamics wire puzzle"

These puzzles are a lot like the towers of Hanoi.

How do I URL encode a string

For the php function urlencode encoding a NSString to a cString with UTF8Encode, like [NSString UTF8String] was not working.

Here is my custom objective c NSString+ASCIIencode Category with works with all ASCII values 0..255

Header

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@interface NSString (ASCIIEncode)

- (const char*)ASCIIEncode;

@end

Implementation

#import "NSString+ASCIIEncode.h"

@implementation NSString (ASCIIEncode)

What is the difference between parseInt(string) and Number(string) in JavaScript?

Addendum to @sjngm's answer:

They both also ignore whitespace:

var foo = "    3     ";
console.log(parseInt(foo)); // 3
console.log(Number(foo)); // 3

PHP Redirect with POST data

There is a simple hack, use $_SESSION and create an array of the posted values, and once you go to the File_C.php you can use it then do you process after that destroy it.

How to force cp to overwrite without confirmation

If you want to keep alias at the global level as is and just want to change for your script.

Just use:

alias cp=cp

and then write your follow up commands.

Postgres: check if array field contains value?

This should work:

select * from mytable where 'Journal'=ANY(pub_types);

i.e. the syntax is <value> = ANY ( <array> ). Also notice that string literals in postresql are written with single quotes.

Server configuration is missing in Eclipse

In my case, the server list was empty for Apache in "Run Configurations" when I opened

Run > Run Configurations enter image description here

I fixed this by creating a server in the Servers Panel as in other answers:

  2. Right click -> New -> Server : to create a new one

jQuery - Disable Form Fields

try this

$("#inp").focus(function(){$("#sel").attr('disabled','true');});

$("#inp").blur(function(){$("#sel").removeAttr('disabled');});

vice versa for the select also.

favicon.png vs favicon.ico - why should I use PNG instead of ICO?

An ico can be a png.

More precisely, you can store one or more png inside this minimal container format, instead of the usual bitmap+alpha that everyone strongly associates with ico.

Support is old, appearing in Windows Vista (2007) and is well supported by browsers, though not necessarily by icon editing software.

Any valid png (whole including header) can be prepended by a 6 byte ico header and 16 byte image directory.
GIMP has native support. Simply export as ico and tick "Compressed (PNG)".

Android Material Design Button Styles

If I understand you correctly, you want to do something like this:
enter image description here

In such case, it should be just enough to use:

<item name="android:colorButtonNormal">#2196f3</item>

Or for API less than 21:

<item name="colorButtonNormal">#2196f3</item>

Looking for a 'cmake clean' command to clear up CMake output

If you have custom defines and want to save them before cleaning, run the following in your build directory:

sed -ne '/variable specified on the command line/{n;s/.*/-D \0 \\/;p}' CMakeCache.txt

Then create a new build directory (or remove the old build directory and recreate it) and finally run cmake with the arguments you'll get with the script above.

Where could I buy a valid SSL certificate?

You are really asking a couple of questions here:

1) Why does the price of SSL certificates vary so much

2) Where can I get good, cheap SSL certificates?

The first question is a good one. For example, the type of SSL certificate you buy is important. Many SSL certificates are domain verified only - that is, the company issuing the certificate only validate that you own the domain. They don't validate your identity, so people visiting your site might know that the domain has a SSL certificate, but that doesn't mean the person behing the website isn't a scammer or phisher, for example. This is why the Verisign solution is much more expensive - you are getting a cert that not only secures your site, but validates the identity of the owner of the site (well, that's the claim).

You can read more on this subject here

For your second question, I can personally recommend RapidSSL. I've bought several certificates from them in the past and they are, well, rapid. However, you should always do your research first. A company based in France might be better for you to deal with as you can get support in your local hours, etc.

Peak memory usage of a linux/unix process

Valgrind one-liner:

valgrind --tool=massif --pages-as-heap=yes --massif-out-file=massif.out ./test.sh; grep mem_heap_B massif.out | sed -e 's/mem_heap_B=\(.*\)/\1/' | sort -g | tail -n 1

Note use of --pages-as-heap to measure all memory in a process. More info here: http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/ms-manual.html

This will slow down your command significantly.

xcode library not found

The problem might be the following: SVN ignores .a files because of its global config, which means someone didn't commit the libGoogleAnalytics.a to SVN, because it didn't show up in SVN. So now you try to check out the project from SVN which now misses the libGoogleAnalytics.a (since it was ignored and was not committed). Of course the build fails.

You might want to change the global ignore config from SVN to stop ignoring *.a files.

Or just add the one missing libGoogleAnalytics.a file manually to your SVN working copy instead of changing SVNs global ignore config.

Then re-add libGoogleAnalytics.a to your XCode project and commit it to SVN.

getResourceAsStream() vs FileInputStream

The FileInputStream class works directly with the underlying file system. If the file in question is not physically present there, it will fail to open it. The getResourceAsStream() method works differently. It tries to locate and load the resource using the ClassLoader of the class it is called on. This enables it to find, for example, resources embedded into jar files.

change values in array when doing foreach

With the Array object methods you can modify the Array content yet compared to the basic for loops, these methods lack one important functionality. You can not modify the index on the run.

For example if you will remove the current element and place it to another index position within the same array you can easily do this. If you move the current element to a previous position there is no problem in the next iteration you will get the same next item as if you hadn't done anything.

Consider this code where we move the item at index position 5 to index position 2 once the index counts up to 5.

var ar = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
ar.forEach((e,i,a) => {
i == 5 && a.splice(2,0,a.splice(i,1)[0])
console.log(i,e);
}); // 0 0 - 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 5 - 6 6 - 7 7 - 8 8 - 9 9

However if we move the current element to somewhere beyond the current index position things get a little messy. Then the very next item will shift into the moved items position and in the next iteration we will not be able to see or evaluate it.

Consider this code where we move the item at index position 5 to index position 7 once the index counts up to 5.

var a = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
a.forEach((e,i,a) => {
i == 5 && a.splice(7,0,a.splice(i,1)[0])
console.log(i,e);
}); // 0 0 - 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 5 - 6 7 - 7 5 - 8 8 - 9 9

So we have never met 6 in the loop. Normally in a for loop you are expected decrement the index value when you move the array item forward so that your index stays at the same position in the next run and you can still evaluate the item shifted into the removed item's place. This is not possible with array methods. You can not alter the index. Check the following code

var a = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
a.forEach((e,i,a) => {
i == 5 && (a.splice(7,0,a.splice(i,1)[0]), i--);
console.log(i,e);
}); // 0 0 - 1 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 4 5 - 6 7 - 7 5 - 8 8 - 9 9

As you see when we decrement i it will not continue from 5 but 6, from where it was left.

So keep this in mind.

Clone an image in cv2 python

You can simply use Python standard library. Make a shallow copy of the original image as follows:

import copy

original_img = cv2.imread("foo.jpg")
clone_img = copy.copy(original_img)

Show SOME invisible/whitespace characters in Eclipse

I would prefer to keep the "Show Whitespace" button on the toolbar, so that in one click you can toggle it.

Go to Window -> Perspective -> Customize Perspective and enable to show the button on toolbar.

I got this issue for a console Application.

In my case i just changed the Platform Target to "Any CPU" which you can see when you right click your solution and click on properties , you will find a Tab "Build" click on it, you will see "Platform target:" change it to "Any CPU", which will solve your issue

Java HashMap: How to get a key and value by index?

If you don't care about the actual key, a concise way to iterate over all the Map's values would be to use its values() method

Map<String, List<String>> myMap;

for ( List<String> stringList : myMap.values() ) {
    for ( String myString : stringList ) {
        // process the string here
    }
}

The values() method is part of the Map interface and returns a Collection view of the values in the map.

How to use Comparator in Java to sort

You should use the overloaded sort(peps, new People()) method

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;

public class Test 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        List<People> peps = new ArrayList<>();

        peps.add(new People(123, "M", 14.25));
        peps.add(new People(234, "M", 6.21));
        peps.add(new People(362, "F", 9.23));
        peps.add(new People(111, "M", 65.99));
        peps.add(new People(535, "F", 9.23));

        Collections.sort(peps, new People().new ComparatorId());

        for (int i = 0; i < peps.size(); i++)
        {
            System.out.println(peps.get(i));
        }
    }
}

class People
{
       private int id;
       private String info;
       private double price;

       public People()
       {

       }

       public People(int newid, String newinfo, double newprice) {
           setid(newid);
           setinfo(newinfo);
           setprice(newprice);
       }

       public int getid() {
           return id;
       }

       public void setid(int id) {
           this.id = id;
       }

       public String getinfo() {
           return info;
       }

       public void setinfo(String info) {
           this.info = info;
       }

       public double getprice() {
           return price;
       }

       public void setprice(double price) {
           this.price = price;
       }

       class ComparatorId implements Comparator<People>
       {

        @Override
        public int compare(People obj1, People obj2) {
               Integer p1 = obj1.getid();
               Integer p2 = obj2.getid();

               if (p1 > p2) {
                   return 1;
               } else if (p1 < p2){
                   return -1;
               } else {
                   return 0;
               }
            }
       }
    }

How can one run multiple versions of PHP 5.x on a development LAMP server?

Note: The following method will work on windows.

An alternative method (if it is ok to run a single version of PHP at a time) is to define multiple Apache services, each of which will use a different PHP version.

First of all use conditions in the Apache configuration file:

 <ifdefine php54>
    SetEnv PHPRC C:/apache/php54/
    ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/apache/php54/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
</ifdefine>

<ifdefine php55>
    SetEnv PHPRC C:/apache/php55/
    ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/apache/php55/"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
</ifdefine>

Now using the httpd.exe create two separate services from command line (elevated to administrator):

httpd.exe -k install -n Apache224_php54 -D php54

httpd.exe -k install -n Apache224_php55 -D php55

Now you can start one of the above services at a time (should shutdown one before starting the other).

If you have previously installed Apache as service you can remove that using below command (replace the service name with the one you have used):

apache -k uninstall -n Apache224

One further note is that I personally use a "notification area icon program" called "Seobiseu" to start and stop services as needed. I have added the two above services to it.

Python vs. Java performance (runtime speed)

Different languages do different things with different levels of efficiency.

The Benchmarks Game has a whole load of different programming problems implemented in a lot of different languages.

JavaScript regex for alphanumeric string with length of 3-5 chars

You'd have to define alphanumerics exactly, but

/^(\w{3,5})$/ 

Should match any digit/character/_ combination of length 3-5.

If you also need the dash, make sure to escape it (\-) add it, like this: :

/^([\w\-]{3,5})$/ 

Also: the ^ anchor means that the sequence has to start at the beginning of the line (character string), and the $ that it ends at the end of the line (character string). So your value string mustn't contain anything else, or it won't match.
