ini_set("memory_limit") in PHP 5.3.3 is not working at all
Ubuntu 10.04 comes with the Suhosin patch only, which does not give you configuration options. But you can install php5-suhosin to solve this:
apt-get update
apt-get install php5-suhosin
Now you can edit /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini and set:
suhosin.memory_limit = 1G
Then using ini_set will work in a script:
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
How to know what the 'errno' means?
Call
perror("execl");
in case of error.
Sample:
if(read(fd, buf, 1)==-1) {
perror("read");
}
The manpages of errno(3)
and perror(3)
are interesting, too...
Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain
Your gradle wrapper is missing, broken or corrupted.
What is gradle wrapper:
gradlew
is the gradle wrapper executable - batch script on windows and shell script elsewhere. The wrapper script when invoked, downloads the defined gradle version and executes it. By distributing the wrapper with your project, anyone can work with it without needing to install Gradle beforehand. Even better, users of the build are guaranteed to use the version of Gradle that the build was designed to work with.
Restoring gradle wrapper:
It used to be that you needed to add a wrapper
task to your build.gradle to restore gradle wrapper and all its dependencies. For instance:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '4.1'
}
Newer versions of gradle do not require this. It is now a built-in task. Just run:
gradle wrapper
You can also supply additional flags to specify versions etc
gradle wrapper --gradle-version 6.2 --distribution-type all
When you run this task, a gradle wrapper script, and the required jar files are added to your source folders. Properties are stored in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
(You may need to install gradle locally to run this. brew install gradle
on mac for instance. See more detailed instructions here)
Why was it missing in the first place?
OP seems to have deleted something that gradle wrapper depends on.
But a common reason is that a .gitignore entry prevents wrapper jars from being checked into git. Note that the .gitignore in effect may be in the source folder, or a global one in your user home folder or git global configuration. It is common to have a *.jar
entry in .gitignore.
You can add an exception for gradlew's jar files in .gitignore
*.jar
!gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
or force add the wrapper jar into git
git add -f gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
ref: Gradle Wrapper
Is there a reason for C#'s reuse of the variable in a foreach?
In C# 5.0, this problem is fixed and you can close over loop variables and get the results you expect.
The language specification says:
8.8.4 The foreach statement
(...)
A foreach statement of the form
foreach (V v in x) embedded-statement
is then expanded to:
{
E e = ((C)(x)).GetEnumerator();
try {
while (e.MoveNext()) {
V v = (V)(T)e.Current;
embedded-statement
}
}
finally {
… // Dispose e
}
}
(...)
The placement of v
inside the while loop is important for how it is
captured by any anonymous function occurring in the
embedded-statement. For example:
int[] values = { 7, 9, 13 };
Action f = null;
foreach (var value in values)
{
if (f == null) f = () => Console.WriteLine("First value: " + value);
}
f();
If v
was declared outside of the while loop, it would be shared
among all iterations, and its value after the for loop would be the
final value, 13
, which is what the invocation of f
would print.
Instead, because each iteration has its own variable v
, the one
captured by f
in the first iteration will continue to hold the value
7
, which is what will be printed. (Note: earlier versions of C#
declared v
outside of the while loop.)
Plot a line graph, error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 'x' and 'y' lengths differ
plot(t)
is in this case the same as
plot(t[[1]], t[[2]])
As the error message says, x and y differ in length and that is because you plot a list with length 4 against 1
:
> length(t)
[1] 4
> length(1)
[1] 1
In your second example you plot a list with elements named x
and y
, both vectors of length 2,
so plot
plots these two vectors.
Edit:
If you want to plot lines use
plot(t, type="l")
How to read/write arbitrary bits in C/C++
To read bytes use std::bitset
const int bits_in_byte = 8;
char myChar = 's';
cout << bitset<sizeof(myChar) * bits_in_byte>(myChar);
To write you need to use bit-wise operators such as & ^ | & << >>. make sure to learn what they do.
For example to have 00100100 you need to set the first bit to 1, and shift it with the << >> operators 5 times. if you want to continue writing you just continue to set the first bit and shift it. it's very much like an old typewriter: you write, and shift the paper.
For 00100100: set the first bit to 1, shift 5 times, set the first bit to 1, and shift 2 times:
const int bits_in_byte = 8;
char myChar = 0;
myChar = myChar | (0x1 << 5 | 0x1 << 2);
cout << bitset<sizeof(myChar) * bits_in_byte>(myChar);
How do I use valgrind to find memory leaks?
Try this:
valgrind --leak-check=full -v ./your_program
As long as valgrind is installed it will go through your program and tell you what's wrong. It can give you pointers and approximate places where your leaks may be found. If you're segfault'ing, try running it through gdb
.
Password Protect a SQLite DB. Is it possible?
You can password protect a SQLite3 DB. Before doing any operations, set the password as follows.
SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source=MyDatabase.sqlite;Version=3;");
conn.SetPassword("password");
conn.Open();
then next time you can access it like
conn = new SQLiteConnection("Data Source=MyDatabase.sqlite;Version=3;Password=password;");
conn.Open();
This wont allow any GUI editor to view your data. Some editors can decrypt the DB if you provide the password. The algorithm used is RSA.
Later if you wish to change the password, use
conn.ChangePassword("new_password");
To reset or remove password, use
conn.ChangePassword(String.Empty);
cartesian product in pandas
Presenting to you
pandas >= 1.2
import pandas as pd
pd.__version__
# '1.2.0'
left = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4]})
right = pd.DataFrame({'col3': [5, 6]})
left.merge(right, how='cross')
col1 col2 col3
0 1 3 5
1 1 3 6
2 2 4 5
3 2 4 6
Indexes are ignored in the result.
Implementation wise, this uses the join on common key column method as described in the accepted answer. The upsides of using the API is that it saves you a lot of typing and handles some corner cases pretty well. I'd almost always recommend this syntax as my first preference for cartesian product in pandas unless you're looking for something more performant.
How to Convert Int to Unsigned Byte and Back
Java 8 provides Byte.toUnsignedInt
to convert byte
to int
by unsigned conversion. In Oracle's JDK this is simply implemented as return ((int) x) & 0xff;
because HotSpot already understands how to optimize this pattern, but it could be intrinsified on other VMs. More importantly, no prior knowledge is needed to understand what a call to toUnsignedInt(foo)
does.
In total, Java 8 provides methods to convert byte
and short
to unsigned int
and long
, and int
to unsigned long
. A method to convert byte
to unsigned short
was deliberately omitted because the JVM only provides arithmetic on int
and long
anyway.
To convert an int back to a byte, just use a cast: (byte)someInt
. The resulting narrowing primitive conversion will discard all but the last 8 bits.
UITableview: How to Disable Selection for Some Rows but Not Others
None from the answers above really addresses the issue correctly. The reason is that we want to disable selection of the cell but not necessarily of subviews inside the cell.
In my case I was presenting a UISwitch in the middle of the row and I wanted to disable selection for the rest of the row (which is empty) but not for the switch! The proper way of doing that is hence in the method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
where a statement of the form
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
disables selection for the specific cell while at the same time allows the user to manipulate the switch and hence use the appropriate selector. This is not true if somebody disables user interaction through the
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
method which merely prepares the cell and does not allow interaction with the UISwitch.
Moreover, using the method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
in order to deselect the cell with a statement of the form
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
still shows the row being selected while the user presses on the original contentView of the cell.
Just my two cents. I am pretty sure many will find this useful.
How to remove "onclick" with JQuery?
Try this if you unbind the onclick event by ID Then use:
$('#youLinkID').attr('onclick','').unbind('click');
Try this if you unbind the onclick event by Class Then use:
$('.className').attr('onclick','').unbind('click');
PHP CURL CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER ignored
We had the same problem on a CentOS7 machine. Disabling the VERIFYHOST
VERIFYPEER
did not solve the problem, we did not have the cURL error anymore but the response still was invalid. Doing a wget
to the same link as the cURL was doing also resulted in a certificate error.
-> Our solution also was to reboot the VPS, this solved it and we were able to complete the request again.
For us this seemed to be a memory corruption problem. Rebooting the VPS reloaded the libary in the memory again and now it works. So if the above solution from @clover
does not work try to reboot your machine.
Logical Operators, || or OR?
There is no "better" but the more common one is ||
. They have different precedence and ||
would work like one would expect normally.
See also: Logical operators (the following example is taken from there):
// The result of the expression (false || true) is assigned to $e
// Acts like: ($e = (false || true))
$e = false || true;
// The constant false is assigned to $f and then true is ignored
// Acts like: (($f = false) or true)
$f = false or true;
Installing specific laravel version with composer create-project
From the composer help create-project
command
The create-project command creates a new project from a given
package into a new directory. If executed without params and in a
directory with a composer.json file it installs the
packages for the current project.
You can use this command to bootstrap new projects or setup a clean
version-controlled installation for developers of your project.
[version]
You can also specify the version with the package name using = or : as
separator.
To install unstable packages, either specify the version you want, or
use the --stability=dev (where dev can be one of RC,
beta, alpha or dev).
This command works:
composer create-project laravel/laravel=4.1.27 your-project-name --prefer-dist
This works with the * notation.
What is the difference between jQuery: text() and html() ?
The different is .html()
evaluate as a html, .text()
avaluate as a text.
Consider a block of html
HTML
<div id="mydiv">
<div class="mydiv">
This is a div container
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
</ul>
a text after ul
</div>
</div>
JS
var out1 = $('#mydiv').html();
var out2 = $('#mydiv').text();
console.log(out1) // This output all the html tag
console.log(out2) // This is output just the text 'This is a div container Link 1 Link 2 a text after ul'
The illustration is from this link http://api.jquery.com/text/
In what cases will HTTP_REFERER be empty
It will also be empty if the new Referrer Policy standard draft is used to prevent that the referer header is sent to the request origin. Example:
<meta name="referrer" content="none">
Although Chrome and Firefox have already implemented a draft version of the Referrer Policy, you should be careful with it because for example Chrome expects no-referrer
instead of none
(and I have seen also never
somewhere).
How to write a SQL DELETE statement with a SELECT statement in the WHERE clause?
Did something like that once:
CREATE TABLE exclusions(excl VARCHAR(250));
INSERT INTO exclusions(excl)

Angular 2 : No NgModule metadata found
In my case, I was trying to upgrade my angular 6 project using ng update
after that the entire universe collapse.
I was trying to update my project using this commands:
- ng update @angular/cli
- ng update @angular/core
- ng update @angular/material
And then I found a problem with rxjs package and I run also this command.
- npm install --save rxjs
And then I get the error
No NgModule metadata found
I solve this by deleting my node_modules folder in the project root
and then I run:
That's is, all works nice.
How to add "active" class to wp_nav_menu() current menu item (simple way)
To also highlight the menu item when one of the child pages is active, also check for the other class (current-page-ancestor
) like below:
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class' , 'special_nav_class' , 10 , 2);
function special_nav_class ($classes, $item) {
if (in_array('current-page-ancestor', $classes) || in_array('current-menu-item', $classes) ){
$classes[] = 'active ';
}
return $classes;
}
UICollectionView - Horizontal scroll, horizontal layout?
If you are defining UICollectionViewFlowLayout
in code, it will override Interface Builder configs. Hence you need to re-define the scrollDirection
again.
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
...
layout.scrollDirection = .Horizontal
self.awesomeCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = layout
How do I detect IE 8 with jQuery?
You can easily detect which type and version of the browser, using this jquery
$(document).ready(function()
{
if ( $.browser.msie ){
if($.browser.version == '6.0')
{ $('html').addClass('ie6');
}
else if($.browser.version == '7.0')
{ $('html').addClass('ie7');
}
else if($.browser.version == '8.0')
{ $('html').addClass('ie8');
}
else if($.browser.version == '9.0')
{ $('html').addClass('ie9');
}
}
else if ( $.browser.webkit )
{ $('html').addClass('webkit');
}
else if ( $.browser.mozilla )
{ $('html').addClass('mozilla');
}
else if ( $.browser.opera )
{ $('html').addClass('opera');
}
});
How to call multiple functions with @click in vue?
This works for me when you need to open another dialog box by clicking a button inside a dialogue box and also close this one. Pass the values as params with a comma separator.
<v-btn absolute fab small slot="activator" top right color="primary" @click="(addTime = true),(ticketExpenseList = false)"><v-icon>add</v-icon></v-btn>
Query to check index on a table
Here is what I used for TSQL which took care of the problem that my table name could contain the schema name and possibly the database name:
DECLARE @THETABLE varchar(100);
SET @THETABLE = 'theschema.thetable';
select i.*
from sys.indexes i
where i.object_id = OBJECT_ID(@THETABLE)
and i.name is not NULL;
The use case for this is that I wanted the list of indexes for a named table so I could write a procedure that would dynamically compress all indexes on a table.
How can I avoid Java code in JSP files, using JSP 2?
You can use JSTL tags together with EL expressions to avoid intermixing Java and HTML code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<c:out value="${x + 1}" />
<c:out value="${param.name}" />
// and so on
</body>
</html>
android get real path by Uri.getPath()
Is it really necessary for you to get a physical path?
For example, ImageView.setImageURI()
and ContentResolver.openInputStream()
allow you to access the contents of a file without knowing its real path.
PHP new line break in emails
EDIT: Maybe your class for sending emails has an option for HTML emails and then you can use <br />
1) Double-quotes
$output = "Good news! The item# $item_number on which you placed a bid of \$ $bid_price is now available for purchase at your bid price.\nThe seller, $bid_user is making this offer.\n\nItem Title : $title\n\nAll the best,\n $bid_user\n$email\n";
If you use double-quotes then \n will work (there will be no newline in browser but see the source code in your browser - the \n characters will be replaced for newlines)
2) Single quotes doesn't have the effect as the double-quotes above:
$output = 'Good news! The item# $item_number on which you placed a bid of \$ $bid_price is now available for purchase at your bid price.\nThe seller, $bid_user is making this offer.\n\nItem Title : $title\n\nAll the best,\n $bid_user\n$email\n';
all characters will be printed as is (even variables!)
3) Line breaks in HTML
$html_output = "Good news! The item# $item_number on which you placed a bid of <br />$ $bid_price is now available for purchase at your bid price.<br />The seller, $bid_user is making this offer.<br /><br />Item Title : $title<br /><br />All the best,<br /> $bid_user<br />$email<br />";
- There will be line breaks in your browser and variables will be replaced with their content.
How to get Locale from its String representation in Java?
See the Locale.getLanguage()
, Locale.getCountry()
... Store this combination in the database instead of the "programatic name"
...
When you want to build the Locale back, use public Locale(String language, String country)
Here is a sample code :)
// May contain simple syntax error, I don't have java right now to test..
// but this is a bigger picture for your algo...
public String localeToString(Locale l) {
return l.getLanguage() + "," + l.getCountry();
}
public Locale stringToLocale(String s) {
StringTokenizer tempStringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(s,",");
if(tempStringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
String l = tempStringTokenizer.nextElement();
if(tempStringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
String c = tempStringTokenizer.nextElement();
return new Locale(l,c);
}
How is returning the output of a function different from printing it?
The below examples might help understand:
def add_nums1(x,y):
print(x+y)
def add_nums2(x,y):
return x+y
#----Function output is usable for further processing
add_nums2(10,20)/2
15.0
#----Function output can't be used further (gives TypeError)
add_nums1(10,20)/2
30
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SQL Server: What is the difference between CROSS JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN?
They are the same concepts, apart from the NULL value returned.
See below:
declare @table1 table( col1 int, col2 int );
insert into @table1 select 1, 11 union all select 2, 22;
declare @table2 table ( col1 int, col2 int );
insert into @table2 select 10, 101 union all select 2, 202;
select
t1.*,
t2.*
from @table1 t1
full outer join @table2 t2 on t1.col1 = t2.col1

How do I remove duplicate items from an array in Perl?
Method 1: Use a hash
Logic: A hash can have only unique keys, so iterate over array, assign any value to each element of array, keeping element as key of that hash. Return keys of the hash, its your unique array.
my @unique = keys {map {$_ => 1} @array};
Method 2: Extension of method 1 for reusability
Better to make a subroutine if we are supposed to use this functionality multiple times in our code.
sub get_unique {
my %seen;
grep !$seen{$_}++, @_;
}
my @unique = get_unique(@array);
Method 3: Use module List::MoreUtils
use List::MoreUtils qw(uniq);
my @unique = uniq(@array);
HTML: how to make 2 tables with different CSS
You need to assign different classes to each table.
Create a class in CSS with the dot '.' operator and write your properties inside each class. For example,
.table1 {
//some properties
}
.table2 {
//Some other properties
}
and use them in your html code.
How to replace innerHTML of a div using jQuery?
There are already answers which give how to change Inner HTML of element.
But I would suggest, you should use some animation like Fade Out/ Fade In to change HTML which gives good effect of changed HTML rather instantly changing inner HTML.
Use animation to change Inner HTML
$('#regTitle').fadeOut(500, function() {
$(this).html('Hello World!').fadeIn(500);
});
If you have many functions which need this, then you can call common function which changes inner Html.
function changeInnerHtml(elementPath, newText){
$(elementPath).fadeOut(500, function() {
$(this).html(newText).fadeIn(500);
});
}
Difference between "read commited" and "repeatable read"
Please note that, the repeatable in repeatable read regards to a tuple, but not to the entire table. In ANSC isolation levels, phantom read anomaly can occur, which means read a table with the same where clause twice may return different return different result sets. Literally, it's not repeatable.
How to get a list of column names
Yes, you can achieve this by using the following commands:
sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> .mode column
The result of a select on your table will then look like:
id foo bar age street address
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
1 val1 val2 val3 val4 val5
2 val6 val7 val8 val9 val10
Arrays.asList() of an array
As far as I understand it, the sort function in the collection class can only be used to sort collections implementing the comparable interface.
You are supplying it a array of integers.
You should probably wrap this around one of the know Wrapper classes such as Integer.
Integer implements comparable.
Its been a long time since I have worked on some serious Java, however reading some matter on the sort function will help.
How to find serial number of Android device?
Since no answer here mentions a perfect, fail-proof ID that is both PERSISTENT through system updates and exists in ALL devices (mainly due to the fact that there isn't an individual solution from Google), I decided to post a method that is the next best thing by combining two of the available identifiers, and a check to chose between them at run-time.
Before code, 3 facts:
TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()
(a.k.a.IMEI) will not work well or at all for non-GSM, 3G, LTE, etc. devices, but will always return a unique ID when related hardware is present, even when no SIM is inserted or even when no SIM slot exists (some OEM's have done this).
Since Gingerbread (Android 2.3) android.os.Build.SERIAL
must exist on any device that doesn't provide IMEI, i.e., doesn't have the aforementioned hardware present, as per Android policy.
Due to fact (2.), at least one of these two unique identifiers will ALWAYS be present, and SERIAL can be present at the same time that IMEI is.
Note: Fact (1.) and (2.) are based on Google statements
SOLUTION
With the facts above, one can always have a unique identifier by checking if there is IMEI-bound hardware, and fall back to SERIAL when it isn't, as one cannot check if the existing SERIAL is valid. The following static class presents 2 methods for checking such presence and using either IMEI or SERIAL:
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
public class IDManagement {
public static String getCleartextID_SIMCHECK (Context mContext){
String ret = "";
TelephonyManager telMgr = (TelephonyManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if(isSIMAvailable(mContext,telMgr)){
Log.i("DEVICE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER",telMgr.getDeviceId());
return telMgr.getDeviceId();
}
else{
Log.i("DEVICE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER", Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
// return Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID;
return android.os.Build.SERIAL;
}
}
public static String getCleartextID_HARDCHECK (Context mContext){
String ret = "";
TelephonyManager telMgr = (TelephonyManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if(telMgr != null && hasTelephony(mContext)){
Log.i("DEVICE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER",telMgr.getDeviceId() + "");
return telMgr.getDeviceId();
}
else{
Log.i("DEVICE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER", Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
// return Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID;
return android.os.Build.SERIAL;
}
}
public static boolean isSIMAvailable(Context mContext,
TelephonyManager telMgr){
int simState = telMgr.getSimState();
switch (simState) {
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_ABSENT:
return false;
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_NETWORK_LOCKED:
return false;
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_PIN_REQUIRED:
return false;
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_PUK_REQUIRED:
return false;
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_READY:
return true;
case TelephonyManager.SIM_STATE_UNKNOWN:
return false;
default:
return false;
}
}
static public boolean hasTelephony(Context mContext)
{
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (tm == null)
return false;
//devices below are phones only
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 5)
return true;
PackageManager pm = mContext.getPackageManager();
if (pm == null)
return false;
boolean retval = false;
try
{
Class<?> [] parameters = new Class[1];
parameters[0] = String.class;
Method method = pm.getClass().getMethod("hasSystemFeature", parameters);
Object [] parm = new Object[1];
parm[0] = "android.hardware.telephony";
Object retValue = method.invoke(pm, parm);
if (retValue instanceof Boolean)
retval = ((Boolean) retValue).booleanValue();
else
retval = false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
retval = false;
}
return retval;
}
}
I would advice on using getCleartextID_HARDCHECK
. If the reflection doesn't stick in your environment, use the getCleartextID_SIMCHECK
method instead, but take in consideration it should be adapted to your specific SIM-presence needs.
P.S.: Do please note that OEM's have managed to bug out SERIAL against Google policy (multiple devices with same SERIAL), and Google as stated there is at least one known case in a big OEM (not disclosed and I don't know which brand it is either, I'm guessing Samsung).
Disclaimer: This answers the original question of getting a unique device ID, but the OP introduced ambiguity by stating he needs a unique ID for an APP. Even if for such scenarios Android_ID would be better, it WILL NOT WORK after, say, a Titanium Backup of an app through 2 different ROM installs (can even be the same ROM). My solution maintains persistence that is independent of a flash or factory reset, and will only fail when IMEI or SERIAL tampering occurs through hacks/hardware mods.
Anaconda Navigator won't launch (windows 10)
I tried the following @janny loco's answer first and then reset anaconda to get it to work.
Step 1:
activate root
conda update -n root conda
conda update --all
Step 2:
anaconda-navigator --reset
After running the update commands in step 1 and not seeing any success, I reset anaconda by running the command above based on what I found here.
I am not sure if it was the combination of updating conda and reseting the navigator or just one of the two. So, please try accordingly.
Free c# QR-Code generator
Take a look QRCoder - pure C# open source QR code generator.
Can be used in three lines of code
QRCodeGenerator qrGenerator = new QRCodeGenerator();
QRCodeGenerator.QRCode qrCode = qrGenerator.CreateQrCode(textBoxQRCode.Text, QRCodeGenerator.ECCLevel.Q);
pictureBoxQRCode.BackgroundImage = qrCode.GetGraphic(20);
GUI-based or Web-based JSON editor that works like property explorer
Generally when I want to create a JSON or YAML string, I start out by building the Perl data structure, and then running a simple conversion on it. You could put a UI in front of the Perl data structure generation, e.g. a web form.
Converting a structure to JSON is very straightforward:
use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON::Any;
my $data = { arbitrary structure in here };
my $json_handler = JSON::Any->new(utf8=>1);
my $json_string = $json_handler->objToJson($data);
Branch from a previous commit using Git
A quick way to do it on your Github repo would be as followed:
- Find the specific commit from your branch
- Beside the SHA id, click on 'Browse the repo at this point in the history'
- Here you can create a new branch from this commit

What tool to use to draw file tree diagram
Graphviz - from the web page:
The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. (Graphviz also supports GXL, an XML dialect.)
It's the simplest and most productive tool I've found to create a variety of boxes-and-lines diagrams. I have and use Visio and OmniGraffle, but there's always the temptation to make "just one more adjustment".
It's also quite easy to write code to produce the "dot file" format that Graphiz consumes, so automated diagram production is also nicely within reach.
Is it correct to use DIV inside FORM?
It is wrong to have <input> as a direct child of a <form>
And by the way <input /> may fail on some doctype
Check it with http://validator.w3.org/check
document type does not allow element "INPUT" here; missing one of "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS" start-tag
<input type="text" />
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
PHP check whether property exists in object or class
if (property_exists($ob, 'a'))
if (isset($ob->a))
isset() will return false if property is null
Example 1:
$ob->a = null
var_dump(isset($ob->a)); // false
Example 2:
class Foo
{
public $bar = null;
}
$foo = new Foo();
var_dump(property_exists($foo, 'bar')); // true
var_dump(isset($foo->bar)); // false
Regex: ignore case sensitivity
Depends on implementation
but I would use
(?i)G[a-b].
VARIATIONS:
(?i) case-insensitive mode ON
(?-i) case-insensitive mode OFF
Modern regex flavors allow you to apply modifiers to only part of the regular expression. If you insert the modifier (?im) in the middle of the regex then the modifier only applies to the part of the regex to the right of the modifier. With these flavors, you can turn off modes by preceding them with a minus sign (?-i).
Description is from the page:

TypeError: Object of type 'bytes' is not JSON serializable
I was dealing with this issue today, and I knew that I had something encoded as a bytes object that I was trying to serialize as json with json.dump(my_json_object, write_to_file.json)
. my_json_object
in this case was a very large json object that I had created, so I had several dicts, lists, and strings to look at to find what was still in bytes format.
The way I ended up solving it: the write_to_file.json
will have everything up to the bytes object that is causing the issue.
In my particular case this was a line obtained through
for line in text:
json_object['line'] = line.strip()
I solved by first finding this error with the help of the write_to_file.json, then by correcting it to:
for line in text:
json_object['line'] = line.strip().decode()
Python extending with - using super() Python 3 vs Python 2
Another python3 implementation that involves the use of Abstract classes with super(). You should remember that
super().__init__(name, 10)
has the same effect as
Person.__init__(self, name, 10)
Remember there's a hidden 'self' in super(), So the same object passes on to the superclass init method and the attributes are added to the object that called it.
Hence super()
gets translated to Person
and then if you include the hidden self, you get the above code frag.
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
class Person(metaclass=ABCMeta):
name = ""
age = 0
def __init__(self, personName, personAge):
self.name = personName
self.age = personAge
@abstractmethod
def showName(self):
pass
@abstractmethod
def showAge(self):
pass
class Man(Person):
def __init__(self, name, height):
self.height = height
# Person.__init__(self, name, 10)
super().__init__(name, 10) # same as Person.__init__(self, name, 10)
# basically used to call the superclass init . This is used incase you want to call subclass init
# and then also call superclass's init.
# Since there's a hidden self in the super's parameters, when it's is called,
# the superclasses attributes are a part of the same object that was sent out in the super() method
def showIdentity(self):
return self.name, self.age, self.height
def showName(self):
pass
def showAge(self):
pass
a = Man("piyush", "179")
print(a.showIdentity())
Using :: in C++
The ::
are used to dereference scopes.
const int x = 5;
namespace foo {
const int x = 0;
}
int bar() {
int x = 1;
return x;
}
struct Meh {
static const int x = 2;
}
int main() {
std::cout << x; // => 5
{
int x = 4;
std::cout << x; // => 4
std::cout << ::x; // => 5, this one looks for x outside the current scope
}
std::cout << Meh::x; // => 2, use the definition of x inside the scope of Meh
std::cout << foo::x; // => 0, use the definition of x inside foo
std::cout << bar(); // => 1, use the definition of x inside bar (returned by bar)
}
unrelated:
cout and cin are not functions, but instances of stream objects.

How do you split and unsplit a window/view in Eclipse IDE?
This is possible with the menu items Window>Editor>Toggle Split Editor.
Current shortcut for splitting is:
Azerty keyboard:
- Ctrl + _ for split horizontally, and
- Ctrl + { for split vertically.
Qwerty US keyboard:
- Ctrl + Shift + - (accessing _) for split horizontally, and
- Ctrl + Shift + [ (accessing {) for split vertically.
MacOS - Qwerty US keyboard:
- ⌘ + Shift + - (accessing _) for split horizontally, and
- ⌘ + Shift + [ (accessing {) for split vertically.
On any other keyboard if a required key is unavailable (like { on a german Qwertz keyboard), the following generic approach may work:
- Alt + ASCII code + Ctrl then release Alt
Example: ASCII for '{' = 123, so press 'Alt', '1', '2', '3', 'Ctrl' and release 'Alt', effectively typing '{' while 'Ctrl' is pressed, to split vertically.
Example of vertical split:
PS:
- The menu items Window>Editor>Toggle Split Editor were added with Eclipse Luna 4.4 M4, as mentioned by Lars Vogel in "Split editor implemented in Eclipse M4 Luna"
- The split editor is one of the oldest and most upvoted Eclipse bug! Bug 8009
- The split editor functionality has been developed in Bug 378298, and will be available as of Eclipse Luna M4. The Note & Newsworthy of Eclipse Luna M4 will contain the announcement.
Get GPS location via a service in Android
ok , i've solved it by creating a handler on the onCreate of the service , and calling the gps functions through there .
The code is as simple as this:
final handler=new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
And then to force running things on the UI, I call post
on it.
POST request not allowed - 405 Not Allowed - nginx, even with headers included
I have tried the solution which redirects 405 to 200, and in production environment(in my case, it's Google Load Balancing with Nginx Docker container), this hack causes some 502 errors(Google Load Balancing error code: backend_early_response_with_non_error_status).
In the end, I have made this work properly by replacing Nginx with OpenResty which is completely compatible with Nginx and have more plugins.
With ngx_coolkit, Now Nginx(OpenResty) could serve static files with POST request properly, here is the config file in my case:
server {
listen 80;
location / {
override_method GET;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
}
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
root /var/www/web-static;
index index.html;
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
}
}
In the above config, I use override_method
offered by ngx_coolkit to override the HTTP Method to GET
.
How to send an object from one Android Activity to another using Intents?
You'll need to serialize your object into some kind of string representation. One possible string representation is JSON, and one of the easiest ways to serialize to/from JSON in android, if you ask me, is through Google GSON.
In that case you just put the string return value from (new Gson()).toJson(myObject);
and retrieve the string value and use fromJson
to turn it back into your object.
If your object isn't very complex, however, it might not be worth the overhead, and you could consider passing the separate values of the object instead.
Determining image file size + dimensions via Javascript?
Regarding the width and height:
var img = document.getElementById('imageId');
var width = img.clientWidth;
var height = img.clientHeight;
Regarding the filesize you can use performance
var size = performance.getEntriesByName(url)[0];
console.log(size.transferSize); // or decodedBodySize might differ if compression is used on server side

What is the difference between JavaScript and jQuery?
jQuery is a JavaScript library.
Read
wiki-jQuery, github, jQuery vs. javascript?
Source
What is JQuery?
Before JQuery, developers would create their own small frameworks
(the group of code) this would allow all the developers to work around all
the bugs and give them more time to work on features, so the
JavaScript frameworks were born. Then came the collaboration stage,
groups of developers instead of writing their own code would give it
away for free and creating JavaScript code sets that everyone could
use. That is what JQuery is, a library of JavaScript code. The best
way to explain JQuery and its mission is well stated on the front page
of the JQuery website which says:
JQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML
document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions
for rapid web development.
As you can see all JQuery is JavaScript. There is more than one
type of JavaScript set of code sets like MooTools it is just that
JQuery is the most popular.
JavaScript vs JQuery
Which is the best JavaScript or JQuery is a contentious discussion,
really the answer is neither is best. They both have their roles I
have worked on online applications where JQuery was not the right tool
and what the application needed was straight JavaScript development.
But for most websites JQuery is all that is needed. What a web
developer needs to do is make an informed decision on what tools are
best for their client. Someone first coming into web development does
need some exposure to both technologies just using JQuery all the time
does not teach the nuances of JavaScript and how it affects the DOM.
Using JavaScript all the time slows projects down and because of the
JQuery library has ironed most of the issues that JavaScript will
have between each web browser it makes the deployment safe as it is
sure to work across all platforms.
JavaScript is a language. jQuery is a library built with JavaScript to help JavaScript programmers who are doing common web tasks.

What does \0 stand for?
In C, \0
denotes a character with value zero. The following are identical:
char a = 0;
char b = '\0';
The utility of this escape sequence is greater inside string literals, which are arrays of characters:
char arr[] = "abc\0def\0ghi\0";
(Note that this array has two zero characters at the end, since string literals include a hidden, implicit terminal zero.)
Build not visible in itunes connect
This was My Mistake:
I had a minor update in a Push Notification content part and I did not even touch my code.
But I thought I might have to re-upload it in order to reflect that change in the latest version.
And I did.
Tried to upload 3 Builds One by One.
But Not a single build has shown in the Test Flight Version.(Shocked)
Later I realized my mistake that just by updating APNS content part without even touching my code, I was trying to upload a new build and was expecting to reflect it in the Test Flight. (So stupid of me)

Clear an input field with Reactjs?
The way I cleared my form input values was to add an id to my form tag.
Then when I handleSubmit I call this.clearForm()
In the clearForm function I then use document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
import React, {Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import Button from './components/Button';
import Input from './components/Input';
class App extends Component {
state = {
item: "",
list: []
}
componentDidMount() {
this.clearForm();
}
handleFormSubmit = event => {
this.clearForm()
event.preventDefault()
const item = this.state.item
this.setState ({
list: [...this.state.list, item],
})
}
handleInputChange = event => {
this.setState ({
item: event.target.value
})
}
clearForm = () => {
document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
this.setState({
item: ""
})
}
render() {
return (
<form id="myForm">
<Input
name="textinfo"
onChange={this.handleInputChange}
value={this.state.item}
/>
<Button
onClick={this.handleFormSubmit}
> </Button>
</form>
);
}

Understanding SQL Server LOCKS on SELECT queries
I have to add an important comment. Everyone is mentioning that NOLOCK
reads only dirty data. This is not precise. It is also possible that you'll get same row twice or whole row is skipped during your read. Reason is that you could ask for some data in same time when SQL Server is re-balancing b-tree.
Check another threads
https://stackoverflow.com/a/5469238/2108874
http://www.sqlmag.com/article/sql-server/quaere-verum-clustered-index-scans-part-iii.aspx)
With the NOLOCK hint (or setting the isolation level of the session to READ UNCOMMITTED) you tell SQL Server that you don't expect consistency, so there are no guarantees. Bear in mind though that "inconsistent data" does not only mean that you might see uncommitted changes that were later rolled back, or data changes in an intermediate state of the transaction. It also means that in a simple query that scans all table/index data SQL Server may lose the scan position, or you might end up getting the same row twice.
How to add DOM element script to head section?

To use code in <script>
you need do as in you question
$('head').append(script);
Why do I keep getting 'SVN: Working Copy XXXX locked; try performing 'cleanup'?
I've had a lot of issues with SVN before and one thing that has definitely caused me problems is modifying files outside of Eclipse or manually deleting folders (which contains the .svn folders), that has probably given me the most trouble.
edit
You should also be careful not to interrupt SVN operations, though sometimes a bug may occur and this could cause the .lock
file to not be removed, and hence your error.
What strategies and tools are useful for finding memory leaks in .NET?
We've used Ants Profiler Pro by Red Gate software in our project. It works really well for all .NET language-based applications.
We found that the .NET Garbage Collector is very "safe" in its cleaning up of in-memory objects (as it should be). It would keep objects around just because we might be using it sometime in the future. This meant we needed to be more careful about the number of objects that we inflated in memory. In the end, we converted all of our data objects over to an "inflate on-demand" (just before a field is requested) in order to reduce memory overhead and increase performance.
EDIT: Here's a further explanation of what I mean by "inflate on demand." In our object model of our database we use Properties of a parent object to expose the child object(s). For example if we had some record that referenced some other "detail" or "lookup" record on a one-to-one basis we would structure it like this:
class ParentObject
Private mRelatedObject as New CRelatedObject
public Readonly property RelatedObject() as CRelatedObject
get
mRelatedObject.getWithID(RelatedObjectID)
return mRelatedObject
end get
end property
End class
We found that the above system created some real memory and performance problems when there were a lot of records in memory. So we switched over to a system where objects were inflated only when they were requested, and database calls were done only when necessary:
class ParentObject
Private mRelatedObject as CRelatedObject
Public ReadOnly Property RelatedObject() as CRelatedObject
Get
If mRelatedObject is Nothing
mRelatedObject = New CRelatedObject
End If
If mRelatedObject.isEmptyObject
mRelatedObject.getWithID(RelatedObjectID)
End If
return mRelatedObject
end get
end Property
end class
This turned out to be much more efficient because objects were kept out of memory until they were needed (the Get method was accessed). It provided a very large performance boost in limiting database hits and a huge gain on memory space.
Downloading a large file using curl
when curl
is used to download a large file then CURLOPT_TIMEOUT
is the main option you have to set for.
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER
has to be true in case you are getting file like pdf/csv/image etc.
You may find the further detail over here(correct url) Curl Doc
From that page:
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 300); //set timeout to 5 mins
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // true to get the output as string otherwise false
Force browser to refresh css, javascript, etc
Make sure this isn't happening from your DNS. For example Cloudflare has it where you can turn on development mode where it forces a purge on your stylesheets and images as Cloudflare offers accelerated cache. This will disable it and force it to update everytime someone visits your site.

How to add a new column to an existing sheet and name it?
For your question as asked
Columns(3).Insert
Range("c1:c4") = Application.Transpose(Array("Loc", "uk", "us", "nj"))
If you had a way of automatically looking up the data (ie matching uk against employer id) then you could do that in VBA
"Incorrect string value" when trying to insert UTF-8 into MySQL via JDBC?
Hint: On AWS RDS you need a new Parameter Group for your MySQL DB with the params (instead of editing a my.cnf)

- collation_server: utf8mb4_unicode_ci
- character_set_client: utf8mb4
- character_set_connection: utf8mb4
- character_set_database: utf8mb4
- character_set_results: utf8mb4

Note: character_set_system stays "utf8"
These SQL commands do NOT WORK PERMANENTLY - only in a session:

MomentJS getting JavaScript Date in UTC
A timestamp is a point in time. Typically this can be represented by a number of milliseconds past an epoc (the Unix Epoc of Jan 1 1970 12AM UTC). The format of that point in time depends on the time zone. While it is the same point in time, the "hours value" is not the same among time zones and one must take into account the offset from the UTC.
Here's some code to illustrate. A point is time is captured in three different ways.
var moment = require( 'moment' );
var localDate = new Date();
var localMoment = moment();
var utcMoment = moment.utc();
var utcDate = new Date( utcMoment.format() );
//These are all the same
console.log( 'localData unix = ' + localDate.valueOf() );
console.log( 'localMoment unix = ' + localMoment.valueOf() );
console.log( 'utcMoment unix = ' + utcMoment.valueOf() );
//These formats are different
console.log( 'localDate = ' + localDate );
console.log( 'localMoment string = ' + localMoment.format() );
console.log( 'utcMoment string = ' + utcMoment.format() );
console.log( 'utcDate = ' + utcDate );
//One to show conversion
console.log( 'localDate as UTC format = ' + moment.utc( localDate ).format() );
console.log( 'localDate as UTC unix = ' + moment.utc( localDate ).valueOf() );
Which outputs this:
localData unix = 1415806206570
localMoment unix = 1415806206570
utcMoment unix = 1415806206570
localDate = Wed Nov 12 2014 10:30:06 GMT-0500 (EST)
localMoment string = 2014-11-12T10:30:06-05:00
utcMoment string = 2014-11-12T15:30:06+00:00
utcDate = Wed Nov 12 2014 10:30:06 GMT-0500 (EST)
localDate as UTC format = 2014-11-12T15:30:06+00:00
localDate as UTC unix = 1415806206570
In terms of milliseconds, each are the same. It is the exact same point in time (though in some runs, the later millisecond is one higher).
As far as format, each can be represented in a particular timezone. And the formatting of that timezone'd string looks different, for the exact same point in time!
Are you going to compare these time values? Just convert to milliseconds. One value of milliseconds is always less than, equal to or greater than another millisecond value.
Do you want to compare specific 'hour' or 'day' values and worried they "came from" different timezones? Convert to UTC first using moment.utc( existingDate )
, and then do operations. Examples of those conversions, when coming out of the DB, are the last console.log
calls in the example.
How to change spinner text size and text color?
Try this method. It is working for me.
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
TextView textView = (TextView) view;
((TextView) adapterView.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(Color.RED);
((TextView) adapterView.getChildAt(0)).setTextSize(20);
Toast.makeText(this, textView.getText()+" Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
Setting POST variable without using form
You can do it using jQuery. Example:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.ajax({
url : "next.php",
type: "POST",
data : "name=Denniss",
success: function(data)
{
//data - response from server
$('#response_div').html(data);
}
});
</script>
How can I upload fresh code at github?
Just to add on to the other answers, before i knew my way around git, i was looking for some way to upload existing code to a new github (or other git) repo. Here's the brief that would save time for newbs:-
Assuming you have your NEW empty github or other git repo ready:-
cd "/your/repo/dir"
git clone https://github.com/user_AKA_you/repoName # (creates /your/repo/dir/repoName)
cp "/all/your/existing/code/*" "/your/repo/dir/repoName/"
git add -A
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push origin master
Alternatively if you have an existing local git repo
cd "/your/repo/dir/repoName"
#add your remote github or other git repo
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/user_AKA_you/your_repoName
git commit -m "new origin commit"
git push origin master
Select parent element of known element in Selenium
This might be useful for someone else:
Using this sample html
<div class="ParentDiv">
<label for="label">labelName</label>
<input type="button" value="elementToSelect">
</div>
<div class="DontSelect">
<label for="animal">pig</label>
<input type="button" value="elementToSelect">
</div>
If for example, I want to select an element in the same section (e.g div) as a label, you can use this
//label[contains(., 'labelName')]/parent::*//input[@value='elementToSelect']
This just means, look for a label (it could anything like a
, h2
) called labelName
. Navigate to the parent of that label (i.e. div class="ParentDiv"
). Search within the descendants of that parent to find any child element with the value of elementToSelect
. With this, it will not select the second elementToSelect
with DontSelect
div as parent.
The trick is that you can reduce search areas for an element by navigating to the parent first and then searching descendant of that parent for the element you need.
Other Syntax like following-sibling::h2
can also be used in some cases. This means the sibling following element h2
. This will work for elements at the same level, having the same parent.
Changing Java Date one hour back
java.util.Calendar
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
// remove next line if you're always using the current time.
cal.setTime(currentDate);
cal.add(Calendar.HOUR, -1);
Date oneHourBack = cal.getTime();
java.util.Date
new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - 3600 * 1000);
org.joda.time.LocalDateTime
new LocalDateTime().minusHours(1)
Java 8: java.time.LocalDateTime
LocalDateTime.now().minusHours(1)
Java 8 java.time.Instant
// always in UTC if not timezone set
Instant.now().minus(1, ChronoUnit.HOURS));
// with timezone, Europe/Berlin for example
Instant.now()
.atZone(ZoneId.of("Europe/Berlin"))
.minusHours(1));
If Python is interpreted, what are .pyc files?
THIS IS FOR BEGINNERS,
Python automatically compiles your script to compiled code, so called byte code, before running it.
Running a script is not considered an import and no .pyc will be created.
For example, if you have a script file abc.py that imports another module xyz.py, when you run abc.py, xyz.pyc will be created since xyz is imported, but no abc.pyc file will be created since abc.py isn’t being imported.
If you need to create a .pyc file for a module that is not imported, you can use the py_compile
and compileall
modules.
The py_compile
module can manually compile any module. One way is to use the py_compile.compile
function in that module interactively:
>>> import py_compile
>>> py_compile.compile('abc.py')
This will write the .pyc to the same location as abc.py (you can override that with the optional parameter cfile
).
You can also automatically compile all files in a directory or directories using the compileall module.
python -m compileall
If the directory name (the current directory in this example) is omitted, the module compiles everything found on sys.path
Running python script inside ipython
The %run
magic has a parameter file_finder
that it uses to get the full path to the file to execute (see here); as you note, it just looks in the current directory, appending ".py" if necessary.
There doesn't seem to be a way to specify which file finder to use from the %run
magic, but there's nothing to stop you from defining your own magic command that calls into %run
with an appropriate file finder.
As a very nasty hack, you could override the default file_finder
with your own:
IPython.core.magics.execution.ExecutionMagics.run.im_func.func_defaults[2] = my_file_finder
To be honest, at the rate the IPython API is changing that's as likely to continue to work as defining your own magic is.
How to get a random value from dictionary?
Since the original post wanted the pair:
import random
d = {'VENEZUELA':'CARACAS', 'CANADA':'TORONTO'}
country, capital = random.choice(list(d.items()))

How to provide password to a command that prompts for one in bash?
How to use autoexpect to pipe a password into a command:
These steps are illustrated with an Ubuntu 12.10 desktop. The exact commands for your distribution may be slightly different.
This is dangerous because you risk exposing whatever password you use to anyone who can read the autoexpect script file.
DO NOT expose your root password or power user passwords by piping them through expect like this. Root kits WILL find this in an instant and your box is owned.
EXPECT spawns a process, reads text that comes in then sends text predefined in the script file.
Make sure you have expect
and autoexpect
installed:
sudo apt-get install expect
sudo apt-get install expect-dev
Read up on it:
man expect
man autoexpect
Go to your home directory:
cd /home/el
User el
cannot chown a file to root and must enter a password:
touch testfile.txt
sudo chown root:root testfile.txt
[enter password to authorize the changing of the owner]
This is the password entry we want to automate. Restart the terminal to ensure that sudo asks us for the password again. Go to /home/el again and do this:
touch myfile.txt
autoexpect -f my_test_expect.exp sudo chown root:root myfile.txt
[enter password which authorizes the chown to root]
autoexpect done, file is my_test_expect.exp
You have created my_test_expect.exp
file. Your super secret password is stored plaintext in this file. This should make you VERY uncomfortable. Mitigate some discomfort by restricting permissions and ownership as much as possible:
sudo chown el my_test_expect.exp //make el the owner.
sudo chmod 700 my_test_expect.exp //make file only readable by el.
You see these sorts of commands at the bottom of my_test_expect.exp
:
set timeout -1
spawn sudo chown root:root myfile.txt
match_max 100000
expect -exact "\[sudo\] password for el: "
send -- "YourPasswordStoredInPlaintext\r"
expect eof
You will need to verify that the above expect commands are appropriate. If the autoexpect script is being overly sensitive or not sensitive enough then it will hang. In this case it's acceptable because the expect is waiting for text that will always arrive.
Run the expect script as user el:
expect my_test_expect.exp
spawn sudo chown root:root myfile.txt
[sudo] password for el:
The password contained in my_test_expect.exp was piped into a chown to root by user el. To see if the password was accepted, look at myfile.txt
:
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 2 14:48 myfile.txt
It worked because it is root, and el never entered a password. If you expose your root, sudo, or power user password with this script, then acquiring root on your box will be easy. Such is the penalty for a security system that lets everybody in no questions asked.
Stop fixed position at footer
Live demo
first, check its offset every time you scroll the page
$(document).scroll(function() {
checkOffset();
});
and make its position absolute if it has been downed under 10px before the footer.
function checkOffset() {
if($('#social-float').offset().top + $('#social-float').height()
>= $('#footer').offset().top - 10)
$('#social-float').css('position', 'absolute');
if($(document).scrollTop() + window.innerHeight < $('#footer').offset().top)
$('#social-float').css('position', 'fixed'); // restore when you scroll up
}
notice that #social-float
's parent should be sibling of the footer
<div class="social-float-parent">
<div id="social-float">
something...
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
good luck :)
How to check if a string is a number?
rewrite the whole function as below:
bool IsValidNumber(char * string)
{
for(int i = 0; i < strlen( string ); i ++)
{
//ASCII value of 0 = 48, 9 = 57. So if value is outside of numeric range then fail
//Checking for negative sign "-" could be added: ASCII value 45.
if (string[i] < 48 || string[i] > 57)
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}
BitBucket - download source as ZIP
In case you want to download the repo from your shell/terminal it should work like this:
wget https://user:[email protected]/user-name/repo-name/get/master.tar.bz2
or whatever download URL you might have.
Please make sure the user:password are both URL-encoded. So for instance if your username contains the @
symbol then replace it with %40
.
Python Selenium Chrome Webdriver
You need to specify the path where your chromedriver is located.
Download chromedriver for your desired platform from here.
Place chromedriver on your system path, or where your code is.
If not using a system path, link your chromedriver.exe
(For non-Windows users, it's just called chromedriver
):
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe")
(Set executable_path
to the location where your chromedriver is located.)
If you've placed chromedriver on your System Path, you can shortcut by just doing the following:
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
If you're running on a Unix-based operating system, you may need to update the permissions of chromedriver after downloading it in order to make it executable:
chmod +x chromedriver
That's all. If you're still experiencing issues, more info can be found on this other StackOverflow article: Can't use chrome driver for Selenium
How to read json file into java with simple JSON library
The whole file is an array and there are objects and other arrays (e.g. cars) in the whole array of the file.
As you say, the outermost layer of your JSON blob is an array. Therefore, your parser will return a JSONArray
. You can then get JSONObject
s from the array ...
JSONArray a = (JSONArray) parser.parse(new FileReader("c:\\exer4-courses.json"));
for (Object o : a)
{
JSONObject person = (JSONObject) o;
String name = (String) person.get("name");
System.out.println(name);
String city = (String) person.get("city");
System.out.println(city);
String job = (String) person.get("job");
System.out.println(job);
JSONArray cars = (JSONArray) person.get("cars");
for (Object c : cars)
{
System.out.println(c+"");
}
}
For reference, see "Example 1" on the json-simple decoding example page.
Is there a way to provide named parameters in a function call in JavaScript?
Another way would be to use attributes of a suitable object, e.g. like so:
function plus(a,b) { return a+b; };
Plus = { a: function(x) { return { b: function(y) { return plus(x,y) }}},
b: function(y) { return { a: function(x) { return plus(x,y) }}}};
sum = Plus.a(3).b(5);
Of course for this made up example it is somewhat meaningless. But in cases where the function looks like
do_something(some_connection_handle, some_context_parameter, some_value)
it might be more useful. It also could be combined with "parameterfy" idea to create such an object out of an existing function in a generic way. That is for each parameter it would create a member that can evaluate to a partial evaluated version of the function.
This idea is of course related to Schönfinkeling aka Currying.
How can I get the MAC and the IP address of a connected client in PHP?
You can do this easily using openWRT. If yo use a captive portal you can mix php and openWRT and make a relation between the IP and the mac.
You can write a simple PHP code using:
$localIP = getHostByName(getHostName());
Later, using openWRT you can go to /tmp/dhcp.leases
, you will get something with the form:
e4:a7:a0:29:xx:xx 10.239.3.XXX DESKTOP-XXX
There, you have the mac, the IP address and the hostname.
Check if a given key already exists in a dictionary and increment it
As you can see from the many answers, there are several solutions. One instance of LBYL (look before you leap) has not been mentioned yet, the has_key() method:
my_dict = {}
def add (key):
if my_dict.has_key(key):
my_dict[key] += 1
else:
my_dict[key] = 1
if __name__ == '__main__':
add("foo")
add("bar")
add("foo")
print my_dict
Tomcat: How to find out running tomcat version
I have this challenge when working on an Ubuntu 18.04 Linux server.
Here's how I fixed it:
Run the command below to determine the location of your version.sh
file:
sudo find / -name "version.sh"
For me the output was:
/opt/tomcat/bin/version.sh
Then, using the output, run the file (version.sh
) as a shell script (sh
):
sh /opt/tomcat/bin/version.sh
That's all.
I hope this helps
Sqlite or MySql? How to decide?
Their feature sets are not at all the same. Sqlite is an embedded database which has no network capabilities (unless you add them). So you can't use it on a network.
If you need
- Network access - for example accessing from another machine;
- Any real degree of concurrency - for example, if you think you are likely to want to run several queries at once, or run a workload that has lots of selects and a few updates, and want them to go smoothly etc.
- a lot of memory usage, for example, to buffer parts of your 1Tb database in your 32G of memory.
You need to use mysql or some other server-based RDBMS.
Note that MySQL is not the only choice and there are plenty of others which might be better for new applications (for example pgSQL).
Sqlite is a very, very nice piece of software, but it has never made claims to do any of these things that RDBMS servers do. It's a small library which runs SQL on local files (using locking to ensure that multiple processes don't screw the file up). It's really well tested and I like it a lot.
Also, if you aren't able to choose this correctly by yourself, you probably need to hire someone on your team who can.
grep a file, but show several surrounding lines?
For BSD or GNU grep
you can use -B num
to set how many lines before the match and -A num
for the number of lines after the match.
grep -B 3 -A 2 foo README.txt
If you want the same number of lines before and after you can use -C num
.
grep -C 3 foo README.txt
This will show 3 lines before and 3 lines after.
What is the default boolean value in C#?
Basically local variables aren't automatically initialized. Hence using them without initializing would result in an exception.
Only the following variables are automatically initialized to their default values:
- Static variables
- Instance variables of class and struct instances
- Array elements
The default values are as follows (assigned in default constructor of a class):
- The default value of a variable of reference type is null.
- For integer types, the default value is 0
- For char, the default value is `\u0000'
- For float, the default value is 0.0f
- For double, the default value is 0.0d
- For decimal, the default value is 0.0m
- For bool, the default value is false
- For an enum type, the default value is 0
- For a struct type, the default value is obtained by setting all value type fields to their default values
As far as later parts of your question are conerned:
- The reason why all variables which are not automatically initialized to default values should be initialized is a restriction imposed by compiler.
- private bool foo = false; This is indeed redundant since this is an instance variable of a class. Hence this would be initialized to false in the default constructor. Hence no need to set this to false yourself.
nginx error connect to php5-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied)
Alternative to broadening permissions in your php config, you could change the user specified in your nginx config.
On the first line of your nginx.conf excerpt above, the user and group are specified as www and www, respectively.
user www www;
Meanwhile, your php config probably specifies a user and group of www-data:
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
You might change the line in your nginx.conf, to any of the following, then:
user www-data www;
user www-data www-data; # or any group, really, since you have the user matching
user www www-data; # requires that your php listen.mode gives rw access to the group
how to get a list of dates between two dates in java
Something like this should definitely work:
private List<Date> getListOfDaysBetweenTwoDates(Date startDate, Date endDate) {
List<Date> result = new ArrayList<Date>();
Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance();
start.setTime(startDate);
Calendar end = Calendar.getInstance();
end.setTime(endDate);
end.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1); //Add 1 day to endDate to make sure endDate is included into the final list
while (start.before(end)) {
result.add(start.getTime());
start.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
}
return result;
}
Java regex capturing groups indexes
For The Rest Of Us
Here is a simple and clear example of how this works
Regex: ([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([\s]+)([a-zA-Z ]+)([\s]+)([0-9]+)
String: "!* UserName10 John Smith 01123 *!"
group(0): UserName10 John Smith 01123
group(1): UserName10
group(2):
group(3): John Smith
group(4):
group(5): 01123
As you can see, I have created FIVE groups which are each enclosed in parentheses.
I included the !* and *! on either side to make it clearer. Note that none of those characters are in the RegEx and therefore will not be produced in the results. Group(0) merely gives you the entire matched string (all of my search criteria in one single line). Group 1 stops right before the first space because the space character was not included in the search criteria. Groups 2 and 4 are simply the white space, which in this case is literally a space character, but could also be a tab or a line feed etc. Group 3 includes the space because I put it in the search criteria ... etc.
Hope this makes sense.
Command copy exited with code 4 when building - Visual Studio restart solves it
I had the same error with xcopy in connection with the Test Engine. I am using VisualStudio Professional 2013. By default Test -> Test Settings -> Keep Test Execution Engine Running seems to be the reason for my error code 4 with xcopy. Switching it off solved the problem. The execution engine seems to keep hold on some .dlls.
browser.msie error after update to jQuery 1.9.1
Since $.browser is deprecated, here is an alternative solution:
/**
* Returns the version of Internet Explorer or a -1
* (indicating the use of another browser).
*/
function getInternetExplorerVersion()
{
var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure.
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
if (re.exec(ua) != null)
rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
}
return rv;
}
function checkVersion()
{
var msg = "You're not using Internet Explorer.";
var ver = getInternetExplorerVersion();
if ( ver > -1 )
{
if ( ver >= 8.0 )
msg = "You're using a recent copy of Internet Explorer."
else
msg = "You should upgrade your copy of Internet Explorer.";
}
alert( msg );
}
Source
However, the reason that its deprecated is because jQuery wants you to use feature detection instead.
An example:
$("p").html("This frame uses the W3C box model: <span>" +
jQuery.support.boxModel + "</span>");
And last but not least, the most reliable way to check IE versions:
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}
// And to detect the version:
// ie === 6 // IE6
// ie > 7 // IE8, IE9 ...
// ie < 9 // Anything less than IE9
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// UPDATE: Now using Live NodeList idea from @jdalton
var ie = (function(){
var undef,
v = 3,
div = document.createElement('div'),
all = div.getElementsByTagName('i');
while (
div.innerHTML = '<!--[if gt IE ' + (++v) + ']><i></i><![endif]-->',
all[0]
);
return v > 4 ? v : undef;
}());
Opening a CHM file produces: "navigation to the webpage was canceled"
There are apparently different levels of authentication. Most articles I read tell you to set the MaxAllowedZone to '1' which means that local machine zone and intranet zone are allowed but '4' allows access for 'all' zones.

This is how my registry looks (I wasn't sure it would work with the wild cards but it seems to work for me):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000004
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"UrlAllowList"="\\\\<network_path_root>;\\\\<network_path_root>\*;\\ies-inc.local;http://www.*;http://*;https://www.*;https://*;"
As an additional note, weirdly the "UrlAllowList" key was required to make this work on another PC but not my test one. It's probably not required at all but when I added it, it fixed the problem. The user may have not closed the original file or something like that. So just a consideration. I suggest try the least and test it, then add if needed. Once you confirm, you can deploy if needed. Good Luck!
Edit: P.S. Another method that worked was mapping the path to the network locally by using mklink /d (symbolic linking in Windows 7 or newer) but mapping a network drive letter (Z: for testing) did not work. Just food for thought and I did not have to 'Unblock' any files. Also the accepted 'Solution' did not resolve the issue for me.
What is the difference between a field and a property?
Properties encapsulate fields, thus enabling you to perform additional processing on the value to be set or retrieved. It is typically overkill to use properties if you will not be doing any pre- or postprocessing on the field value.
Reading all files in a directory, store them in objects, and send the object
So, there are three parts. Reading, storing and sending.
Here's the reading part:
var fs = require('fs');
function readFiles(dirname, onFileContent, onError) {
fs.readdir(dirname, function(err, filenames) {
if (err) {
onError(err);
return;
}
filenames.forEach(function(filename) {
fs.readFile(dirname + filename, 'utf-8', function(err, content) {
if (err) {
onError(err);
return;
}
onFileContent(filename, content);
});
});
});
}
Here's the storing part:
var data = {};
readFiles('dirname/', function(filename, content) {
data[filename] = content;
}, function(err) {
throw err;
});
The sending part is up to you. You may want to send them one by one or after reading completion.
If you want to send files after reading completion you should either use sync versions of fs
functions or use promises. Async callbacks is not a good style.
Additionally you asked about stripping an extension. You should proceed with questions one by one. Nobody will write a complete solution just for you.
How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android?
After several tries, I got it!
I'm setting the keyboard values programmatically like this:
myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
Or if you want you can edit the XML like so:
android: inputType = "numberPassword"
Both configs will display password bullets, so we need to create a custom ClickableSpan
class:
private class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {
@Override
public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {
return source;
}
}
Finally we need to implement it on the EditText
in order to display the characters typed.
myEditText.setTransformationMethod(new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod());
This is how my keyboard looks like now:

Open a folder using Process.Start
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe",@"c:\teste");
This code works fine from the VS2010 environment and opens the local folder properly, but if you host the same application in IIS and try to open then it will fail for sure.
How to parse JSON data with jQuery / JavaScript?
Here's how you would do this in JavaScript, this is a really efficient way to do it!
let data = "{ "name": "mark"}"
let object = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(object.name);
this would print mark
Remove header and footer from window.print()
1.For Chrome & IE
<script language="javascript">
function printDiv(divName) {
var printContents = document.getElementById(divName).innerHTML;
var originalContents = document.body.innerHTML;
document.getElementById('header').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('footer').style.display = 'none';
document.body.innerHTML = printContents;
window.print();
document.body.innerHTML = originalContents;
}
</script>
<div id="div_print">
<div id="header" style="background-color:White;"></div>
<div id="footer" style="background-color:White;"></div>
</div>
- For FireFox as l2aelba said,
Add moznomarginboxes attribute in

react-router - pass props to handler component
You can pass props by passing them to <RouteHandler>
(in v0.13.x) or the Route component itself in v1.0;
// v0.13.x
<RouteHandler/>
<RouteHandler someExtraProp={something}/>
// v1.0
{this.props.children}
{React.cloneElement(this.props.children, {someExtraProp: something })}
(from the upgrade guide at https://github.com/rackt/react-router/releases/tag/v1.0.0)
All child handlers will receive the same set of props - this may be useful or not depending on the circumstance.
How to calculate rolling / moving average using NumPy / SciPy?
for i in range(len(Data)):
Data[i, 1] = Data[i-lookback:i, 0].sum() / lookback
Try this piece of code. I think it's simpler and does the job.
lookback is the window of the moving average.
In the Data[i-lookback:i, 0].sum()
I have put 0
to refer to the first column of the dataset but you can put any column you like in case you have more than one column.
Angular.js ng-repeat filter by property having one of multiple values (OR of values)
After not able to find a good universal solution I made something of my own. I have not tested it for a very large list.
It takes care of nested keys,arrays or just about anything.
Here is the github and demo
app.filter('xf', function() {
function keyfind(f, obj) {
if (obj === undefined)
return -1;
else {
var sf = f.split(".");
if (sf.length <= 1) {
return obj[sf[0]];
} else {
var newobj = obj[sf[0]];
sf.splice(0, 1);
return keyfind(sf.join("."), newobj)
}
}
}
return function(input, clause, fields) {
var out = [];
if (clause && clause.query && clause.query.length > 0) {
clause.query = String(clause.query).toLowerCase();
angular.forEach(input, function(cp) {
for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
var haystack = String(keyfind(fields[i], cp)).toLowerCase();
if (haystack.indexOf(clause.query) > -1) {
out.push(cp);
break;
}
}
})
} else {
angular.forEach(input, function(cp) {
out.push(cp);
})
}
return out;
}
})

How to print color in console using System.out.println?
Emoji
You can use colors for text as others mentioned in their answers.
But you can use emojis instead! for example you can use You can use ??
for warning messages and
for error messages.
Or simply use these note books as a color:
: error message
: warning message
: ok status message
: action message
: canceled status message
: Or anything you like and want to recognize immediately by color
Bonus:
This method also helps you to quickly scan and find logs directly in the source code.
But linux and Windows CMD default emoji font is not colorful by default and you may want to make them colorful, first.
Changing API level Android Studio
For me what worked was: (right click)project->android tools->clear lint markers. Although for some reason the Manifest reverted to the old (lower) minimum API level, but after I changed it back to the new (higher) API level there was no red error underline and the project now uses the new minimum API level.
Edit: Sorry, I see you were using Android Studio, not Eclipse. But I guess there is a similar 'clear lint markers' in Studio somewhere and it might solve the problem.
Dataframe to Excel sheet
From your above needs, you will need to use both Python (to export pandas data frame) and VBA (to delete existing worksheet content and copy/paste external data).
With Python: use the to_csv or to_excel methods. I recommend the to_csv method which performs better with larger datasets.
# DF TO EXCEL
from pandas import ExcelWriter
writer = ExcelWriter('PythonExport.xlsx')
yourdf.to_excel(writer,'Sheet5')
writer.save()
# DF TO CSV
yourdf.to_csv('PythonExport.csv', sep=',')
With VBA: copy and paste source to destination ranges.
Fortunately, in VBA you can call Python scripts using Shell (assuming your OS is Windows).
Sub DataFrameImport()
'RUN PYTHON TO EXPORT DATA FRAME
Shell "C:\pathTo\python.exe fullpathOfPythonScript.py", vbNormalFocus
'CLEAR EXISTING CONTENT
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(5).Cells.Clear
'COPY AND PASTE TO WORKBOOK
Workbooks("PythonExport").Worksheets(1).Cells.Copy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(5).Range("A1").Select
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(5).Paste
End Sub
Alternatively, you can do vice versa: run a macro (ClearExistingContent) with Python. Be sure your Excel file is a macro-enabled (.xlsm) one with a saved macro to delete Sheet 5 content only. Note: macros cannot be saved with csv files.
import os
import win32com.client
from pandas import ExcelWriter
if os.path.exists("C:\Full Location\To\excelsheet.xlsm"):
xlApp=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
wb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(Filename="C:\Full Location\To\excelsheet.xlsm")
# MACRO TO CLEAR SHEET 5 CONTENT
xlApp.Run("ClearExistingContent")
wb.Save()
xlApp.Quit()
del xl
# WRITE IN DATA FRAME TO SHEET 5
writer = ExcelWriter('C:\Full Location\To\excelsheet.xlsm')
yourdf.to_excel(writer,'Sheet5')
writer.save()
android EditText - finished typing event
I have done something like this abstract class that can be used in place of TextView.OnEditorActionListener type.
abstract class OnTextEndEditingListener : TextView.OnEditorActionListener {
override fun onEditorAction(textView: TextView?, actionId: Int, event: KeyEvent?): Boolean {
if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH ||
actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE ||
actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT ||
event != null &&
event.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN &&
event.keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
if(event == null || !event.isShiftPressed) {
// the user is done typing.
return onTextEndEditing(textView, actionId, event)
}
}
return false // pass on to other listeners
}
abstract fun onTextEndEditing(textView: TextView?, actionId: Int, event: KeyEvent?) : Boolean
}
AltGr key not working, instead I have to use Ctrl+AltGr
I found a solution for my problem while writing my question !
Going into my remote session i tried two key combinations, and it solved the problem on my Desktop : Alt+Enter and Ctrl+Enter (i don't know which one solved the problem though)
I tried to reproduce the problem, but i couldn't... but i'm almost sure it's one of the key combinations described in the question above (since i experienced this problem several times)
So it seems the problem comes from the use of RDP (windows7 and 8)
Update 2017: Problem occurs on Windows 10 aswell.
Remove padding or margins from Google Charts
There's a theme available specifically for this
options: {
theme: 'maximized'
}
from the Google chart docs:
Currently only one theme is available:
'maximized' - Maximizes the area of the chart, and draws the legend and all of the labels inside the chart area. Sets the following options:
chartArea: {width: '100%', height: '100%'},
legend: {position: 'in'},
titlePosition: 'in', axisTitlesPosition: 'in',
hAxis: {textPosition: 'in'}, vAxis: {textPosition: 'in'}
Split Strings into words with multiple word boundary delimiters
In Python 3, your can use the method from PY4E - Python for Everybody.
We can solve both these problems by using the string methods lower
, punctuation
, and translate
. The translate
is the most subtle of the methods. Here is the documentation for translate
:
your_string.translate(your_string.maketrans(fromstr, tostr, deletestr))
Replace the characters in fromstr
with the character in the same position in tostr
and delete all characters that are in deletestr
. The fromstr
and tostr
can be empty strings and the deletestr
parameter can be omitted.
Your can see the "punctuation":
In [10]: import string
In [11]: string.punctuation
Out[11]: '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'
For your example:
In [12]: your_str = "Hey, you - what are you doing here!?"
In [13]: line = your_str.translate(your_str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation))
In [14]: line = line.lower()
In [15]: words = line.split()
In [16]: print(words)
['hey', 'you', 'what', 'are', 'you', 'doing', 'here']

sort json object in javascript
In some ways, your question seems very legitimate, but I still might label it an XY problem
. I'm guessing the end result is that you want to display the sorted values in some way? As Bergi said in the comments, you can never quite rely on Javascript objects ( {i_am: "an_object"}
) to show their properties in any particular order.
For the displaying order, I might suggest you take each key of the object (ie, i_am
) and sort them into an ordered array. Then, use that array when retrieving elements of your object to display. Pseudocode:
var keys = [...]
var sortedKeys = [...]
for (var i = 0; i < sortedKeys.length; i++) {
var key = sortedKeys[i];
addObjectToTable(json[key]);
}
Where is the correct location to put Log4j.properties in an Eclipse project?
In general I put it in a special folder "res" or "resources as already said, but after for the web application, I copy the log4j.properties
with the ant task to the WEB-INF/classes directory. It is the same like letting the file at the root of the src/ folder but generally I prefer to see it in a dedicated folder.
With Maven, the usual place to put is in the folder src/main/resources
as answered in this other post.
All resources there will go to your build in the root classpath (e.g. target/classes/
)
If you want a powerful logger, you can have also a look to slf4j library which is a logger facade and can use the log4j implementation behind.
How to sort List of objects by some property
We can sort the list in one of two ways:
1. Using Comparator : When required to use the sort logic in multiple places
If you want to use the sorting logic in a single place, then you can write an anonymous inner class as follows, or else extract the comparator and use it in multiple places
Collections.sort(arrayList, new Comparator<ActiveAlarm>() {
public int compare(ActiveAlarm o1, ActiveAlarm o2) {
//Sorts by 'TimeStarted' property
return o1.getTimeStarted()<o2.getTimeStarted()?-1:o1.getTimeStarted()>o2.getTimeStarted()?1:doSecodaryOrderSort(o1,o2);
}
//If 'TimeStarted' property is equal sorts by 'TimeEnded' property
public int doSecodaryOrderSort(ActiveAlarm o1,ActiveAlarm o2) {
return o1.getTimeEnded()<o2.getTimeEnded()?-1:o1.getTimeEnded()>o2.getTimeEnded()?1:0;
}
});
We can have null check for the properties, if we could have used 'Long' instead of 'long'.
2. Using Comparable(natural ordering): If sort algorithm always stick to one property:
write a class that implements 'Comparable' and override 'compareTo' method as defined below
class ActiveAlarm implements Comparable<ActiveAlarm>{
public long timeStarted;
public long timeEnded;
private String name = "";
private String description = "";
private String event;
private boolean live = false;
public ActiveAlarm(long timeStarted,long timeEnded) {
this.timeStarted=timeStarted;
this.timeEnded=timeEnded;
}
public long getTimeStarted() {
return timeStarted;
}
public long getTimeEnded() {
return timeEnded;
}
public int compareTo(ActiveAlarm o) {
return timeStarted<o.getTimeStarted()?-1:timeStarted>o.getTimeStarted()?1:doSecodaryOrderSort(o);
}
public int doSecodaryOrderSort(ActiveAlarm o) {
return timeEnded<o.getTimeEnded()?-1:timeEnded>o.getTimeEnded()?1:0;
}
}
call sort method to sort based on natural ordering
Collections.sort(list);
Smooth scrolling with just pure css
You can do this with pure CSS but you will need to hard code the offset scroll amounts, which may not be ideal should you be changing page content- or should dimensions of your content change on say window resize.
You're likely best placed to use e.g. jQuery, specifically:
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: element.offset().top
}, 1000);
A complete implementation may be:
$('#up, #down').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var target= $(this).get(0).id == 'up' ? $('#down') : $('#up');
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: target.offset().top
}, 1000);
});
Where element
is the target element to scroll to and 1000
is the delay in ms before completion.
The benefit being, no matter what changes to your content dimensions, the function will not need to be altered.
Scripting Language vs Programming Language
If we see logically programming language and scripting language so this is 99.09% same . because we use same concept like loop , control condition ,variable and all so we can say yes both are same but there is only one thing is different between them that is in C/C++ and other programming language we compile the code before execution . but in the PHP , JavaScript and other scripting language we don't need to compile we directly execute in the browser.

SQL Server - transactions roll back on error?
From MDSN article, Controlling Transactions (Database Engine).
If a run-time statement error (such as a constraint violation) occurs in a batch, the default behavior in the Database Engine is to roll back only the statement that generated the error. You can change this behavior using the SET XACT_ABORT statement. After SET XACT_ABORT ON is executed, any run-time statement error causes an automatic rollback of the current transaction. Compile errors, such as syntax errors, are not affected by SET XACT_ABORT. For more information, see SET XACT_ABORT (Transact-SQL).
In your case it will rollback the complete transaction when any of inserts fail.
Returning a C string from a function
You can create the array in the caller, which is the main function, and pass the array to the callee which is your myFunction(). Thus myFunction can fill the string into the array. However, you need to declare myFunction() as
char* myFunction(char * buf, int buf_len){
strncpy(buf, "my string", buf_len);
return buf;
}
And in main function, myFunction should be called in this way:
char array[51];
memset(array, 0, 51); /* All bytes are set to '\0' */
printf("%s", myFunction(array, 50)); /* The buf_len argument is 50, not 51. This is to make sure the string in buf is always null-terminated (array[50] is always '\0') */
However, a pointer is still used.
How to load local html file into UIWebView
When your project gets bigger, you might need some structure, so that your HTML page can reference files located in subfolders.
Assuming you drag your html_files
folder to Xcode and select the Create folder references option, the following Swift code ensures that the WKWebView
supports also the resulting folder structure:
import WebKit
@IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!
if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "sample", ofType: "html", inDirectory: "html_files") {
webView.load( URLRequest(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path)) )
}
This means that if your sample.html
file contains an <img src="subfolder/myimage.jpg">
tag, then the image file myimage.jpg
in subfolder
will also be loaded and displayed.

Chart won't update in Excel (2007)
I have run into this same issue - not sure why, and when it happens the only way I have ever gotten the chart to force update is to change something in the chart definition itself, which can easily be done via VBA as in:
Dim C As ChartObject: Set C = Me.ChartObjects("chart name")
C.Chart.ChartTitle.Text = C.Chart.ChartTitle.Text + "1"
There may be a better answer that gets to the bottom of the problem - but I thought this might help. Working on the sheet I would do a quick Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V on a piece of the chart (or the whole thing) to force the chart to update.
Homebrew refusing to link OpenSSL
Note: this no longer works due to https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/612
I had the same problem today. I uninstalled (unbrewed??) openssl 1.0.2 and installed 1.0.1 also with homebrew. Dotnet new/restore/run then worked fine.
Install openssl 101:
brew install homebrew/versions/openssl101
Linking:
brew link --force homebrew/versions/openssl101
Maven2 property that indicates the parent directory
I've found a solution to solve my problem: I search the properties files using the Groovy Maven plugin.
As my properties file is necessarily in current directory, in ../ or in ../.., I wrote a small Groovy code that checks these three folders.
Here is the extract of my pom.xml:
<!-- Use Groovy to search the location of the properties file. -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-rc-5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>execute</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<source>
import java.io.File;
String p = project.properties['env-properties-file'];
File f = new File(p);
if (!f.exists()) {
f = new File("../" + p);
if (!f.exists()) {
f = new File("../../" + p);
}
}
project.properties['env-properties-file-by-groovy'] = f.getAbsolutePath();
</source>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<!-- Now, I can load the properties file using the new 'env-properties-file-by-groovy' property. -->
<plugin>

</goals>
<configuration>
<files>
<file>${env-properties-file-by-groovy}</file>

This is working, but I don't really like it.
So, if you have a better solution, do not hesitate to post!
HTTP client timeout and server timeout
There's many forms of timeout, are you after the connection timeout, request timeout or time to live (time before TCP connection stops).
The default TimeToLive on Firefox is 115s (network.http.keep-alive.timeout)
The default connection timeout on Firefox is 250s (network.http.connection-retry-timeout)
The default request timeout for Firefox is 30s (network.http.pipelining.read-timeout).
The time it takes to do an HttpRequest depends on if a connection has been made this has to be within 250s which I'm guessing you're not after. You're probably after the request timeout which I think is 30,000ms (30s) so to conclude I'd say it's timing out with a connection time out that's why you got a response back after ~150s though I haven't really tested this.
Objective-C for Windows
WinObjC? Windows Bridge for iOS (previously known as ‘Project Islandwood’).
Windows Bridge for iOS (also referred to as WinObjC) is a Microsoft open source project that provides an Objective-C development environment for Visual Studio/Windows. In addition, WinObjC provides support for iOS API compatibility. While the final release will happen later this fall (allowing the bridge to take advantage of new tooling capabilities that will ship with the upcoming Visual Studio 2015 Update),
The bridge is available to the open-source community now in its current state. Between now and the fall. The iOS bridge as an open-source project under the MIT license. Given the ambition of the project, making it easy for iOS developers to build and run apps on Windows.
Salmaan Ahmed has an in-depth post on the Windows Bridge for iOS http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/08/06/windows-bridge-for-ios-lets-open-this-up/ discussing the compiler, runtime, IDE integration, and what the bridge is and isn’t. Best of all, the source code for the iOS bridge is live on GitHub right now.
The iOS bridge supports both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 apps built for x86 and x64 processor architectures, and soon we will add compiler optimizations and support for ARM, which adds mobile support.
Finding second occurrence of a substring in a string in Java

return fullText.indexOf(subText);
}else{
--pos;
return fullText.indexOf(subText, ( ordinalIndexOf(fullText,subText,pos) + 1) );
}
}else{
return -1;
}

Git: How to return from 'detached HEAD' state
If you remember which branch was checked out before (e.g. master
) you could simply
git checkout master
to get out of detached HEAD state.
Generally speaking: git checkout <branchname>
will get you out of that.
If you don't remember the last branch name, try
git checkout -
This also tries to check out your last checked out branch.
How do I URL encode a string
In swift 3:
// exclude alpha and numeric == "full" encoding
stringUrl = stringUrl.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .alphanumerics)!;
// exclude hostname and symbols &,/ and etc
stringUrl = stringUrl.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed)!;
Metadata file '.dll' could not be found
Well, my answer is not just the summary of all the solutions, but it offers more than that.
Section (1):
In general solutions:
I had four errors of this kind (‘metadata file could not be found’) along with one error saying 'Source File Could Not Be Opened (‘Unspecified error ‘)'.
I tried to get rid of ‘metadata file could not be found’ error. For that, I read many posts, blogs, etc. and found these solutions may be effective (summarizing them over here):
Restart Visual Studio and try building again.
Go to 'Solution Explorer'. Right click on Solution. Go to Properties. Go to 'Configuration Manager'. Check if the checkboxes under 'Build' are checked or not. If any or all of them are unchecked, then check them and try building again.
If the above solution(s) do not work, then follow sequence mentioned in step 2 above, and even if all the checkboxes are checked, uncheck them, check again and try to build again.
Build Order and Project Dependencies:
Go to 'Solution Explorer'. Right click on Solution. Go to 'Project Dependencies...'. You will see two tabs: 'Dependencies' and 'Build Order'. This build order is the one in which solution builds. Check the project dependencies and the build order to verify if some project (say 'project1') which is dependent on other (say 'project2') is trying to build before that one (project2). This might be the cause for the error.
Check the path of the missing .dll:
Check the path of the missing .dll. If the path contains space or any other invalid path character, remove it and try building again.
If this is the cause, then adjust the build order.
Section (2):
My particular case:
I tried all the steps above with various permutations and combinations with restarting Visual Studio a few times. But, it did not help me.
So, I decided to get rid of other error I was coming across ('Source File Could Not Be Opened (‘Unspecified error ‘)').
I came across a blog post: TFS Error–Source File Could Not Be Opened (‘Unspecified error ‘)
I tried the steps mentioned in that blog post, and I got rid of the error 'Source File Could Not Be Opened (‘Unspecified error ‘)' and surprisingly I got rid of other errors (‘metadata file could not be found’) as well.
Section (3):
Moral of the story:
Try all solutions as mentioned in section (1) above (and any other solutions) for getting rid of the error. If nothing works out, as per the blog mentioned in section (2) above, delete the entries of all source files which are no longer present in the source control and the file system from your .csproj file.
How to place div side by side
<div class="container" style="width: 100%;">
<div class="sidebar" style="width: 200px; float: left;">
Sidebar
</div>
<div class="content" style="margin-left: 202px;">
content
</div>
</div>
This will be cross browser compatible. Without the margin-left you will run into issues with content running all the way to the left if you content is longer than your sidebar.
What do pty and tty mean?
A tty is a terminal (it stands for teletype - the original terminals used a line printer for output and a keyboard for input!). A terminal is a basically just a user interface device that uses text for input and output.
A pty is a pseudo-terminal - it's a software implementation that appears to the attached program like a terminal, but instead of communicating directly with a "real" terminal, it transfers the input and output to another program.
For example, when you ssh in to a machine and run ls
, the ls
command is sending its output to a pseudo-terminal, the other side of which is attached to the SSH daemon.
What is the difference between CMD and ENTRYPOINT in a Dockerfile?
There are some good answers for it. I want to explain it through demo per Doc
CMD
defines default commands and/or parameters for a container. CMD is an instruction that is best to use if you need a default command which users can easily override. If a Dockerfile has multiple CMDs, it only applies the instructions from the last one.
ENTRYPOINT
is preferred when you want to define a container with a specific executable.
You cannot override an ENTRYPOINT
when starting a container unless you add the --entrypoint
flag.
- CMD
Docker file
FROM centos:8.1.1911
CMD ["echo", "Hello Docker"]
Run result
$ sudo docker run <image-id>
Hello Docker
$ sudo docker run <image-id> hostname # hostname is exec to override CMD
244be5006f32
- ENTRYPOINT
Docker file

ENTRYPOINT ["echo", "Hello Docker"]
Run result
$ sudo docker run <image-id>

$ sudo docker run <image-id> hostname # hostname as parameter to exec
Hello Docker hostname
- There are many situations in which combining CMD and ENTRYPOINT would be the best solution for your Docker container. In such cases, the executable is defined with ENTRYPOINT, while CMD specifies the default parameter.
Docker file
FROM centos:8.1.1911
ENTRYPOINT ["echo", "Hello"]
CMD ["Docker"]
Run result
$ sudo docker run <image-id>
Hello Docker
$ sudo docker run <image-id> Ben
Hello Ben
Creating a list/array in excel using VBA to get a list of unique names in a column
Inspired by VB.Net Generics List(Of Integer), I created my own module for that. Maybe you find it useful, too or you'd like to extend for additional methods e.g. to remove items again:
'Save module with name: ListOfInteger
Public Function ListLength(list() As Integer) As Integer
On Error Resume Next
ListLength = UBound(list) + 1
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Public Sub ListAdd(list() As Integer, newValue As Integer)
ReDim Preserve list(ListLength(list))
list(UBound(list)) = newValue
End Sub
Public Function ListContains(list() As Integer, value As Integer) As Boolean
ListContains = False
Dim MyCounter As Integer
For MyCounter = 0 To ListLength(list) - 1
If list(MyCounter) = value Then
ListContains = True
Exit For
End If
Next
End Function
Public Sub DebugOutputList(list() As Integer)
Dim MyCounter As Integer
For MyCounter = 0 To ListLength(list) - 1
Debug.Print list(MyCounter)
Next
End Sub
You might use it as follows in your code:
Public Sub IntegerListDemo_RowsOfAllSelectedCells()
Dim rows() As Integer
Set SelectedCellRange = Excel.Selection
For Each MyCell In SelectedCellRange
If IsEmpty(MyCell.value) = False Then
If ListOfInteger.ListContains(rows, MyCell.Row) = False Then
ListAdd rows, MyCell.Row
End If
End If
Next
ListOfInteger.DebugOutputList rows
End Sub
If you need another list type, just copy the module, save it at e.g. ListOfLong and replace all types Integer by Long. That's it :-)
How do I escape a percentage sign in T-SQL?
You can use the code below to find a specific value.
WHERE col1 LIKE '%[%]75%'
When you want a single digit number after the% sign, you can write the following code.
WHERE col2 LIKE '%[%]_'
Unix command-line JSON parser?
For Bash/Python, here is a basic wrapper around python's simplejson
:
json_parser() {
local jsonfile="my_json_file.json"
local tc="import simplejson,sys; myjsonstr=sys.stdin.read(); "`
`"myjson=simplejson.loads(myjsonstr);"
# Build python print command based on $@
local printcmd="print myjson"
for (( argn=1; argn<=$#; argn++ )); do
printcmd="$printcmd['${!argn}']"
done
local result=$(python -c "$tc $printcmd.keys()" <$jsonfile 2>/dev/null \
|| python -c "$tc $printcmd" <$jsonfile 2>/dev/null)
# For returning space-separated values
echo $result|sed -e "s/[]|[|,|']//g"
#echo $result
}
It really only handles the nested-dictionary style of data, but it works for what I needed, and is useful for walking through the json. It could probably be adapted to taste.
Anyway, something homegrown for those not wanting to source in yet another external dependency. Except for python, of course.
Ex. json_parser {field1} {field2}
would run print myjson['{field1}']['{field2}']
, yielding either the keys or the values associated with {field2}
, space-separated.
Pass Additional ViewData to a Strongly-Typed Partial View
To extend on what womp posted, you can pass new View Data while retaining the existing View Data if you use the constructor overload of the ViewDataDictionary
like so:
Html.RenderPartial(
"ProductImageForm",
image,
new ViewDataDictionary(this.ViewData) { { "index", index } }
);
Typescript es6 import module "File is not a module error"
In addition to Tim's answer, this issue occurred for me when I was splitting up a refactoring a file, splitting it up into their own files.
VSCode, for some reason, indented parts of my [class] code, which caused this issue. This was hard to notice at first, but after I realised the code was indented, I formatted the code and the issue disappeared.
for example, everything after the first line of the Class definition was auto-indented during the paste.
export class MyClass extends Something<string> {
public blah: string = null;
constructor() { ... }
}
Do you need to dispose of objects and set them to null?
Objects will be cleaned up when they are no longer being used and when the garbage collector sees fit. Sometimes, you may need to set an object to null
in order to make it go out of scope (such as a static field whose value you no longer need), but overall there is usually no need to set to null
.
Regarding disposing objects, I agree with @Andre. If the object is IDisposable
it is a good idea to dispose it when you no longer need it, especially if the object uses unmanaged resources. Not disposing unmanaged resources will lead to memory leaks.
You can use the using
statement to automatically dispose an object once your program leaves the scope of the using
statement.
using (MyIDisposableObject obj = new MyIDisposableObject())
{
// use the object here
} // the object is disposed here
Which is functionally equivalent to:
MyIDisposableObject obj;
try
{
obj = new MyIDisposableObject();
}
finally
{
if (obj != null)
{
((IDisposable)obj).Dispose();
}
}
Setting different color for each series in scatter plot on matplotlib
An easy fix
If you have only one type of collections (e.g. scatter with no error bars) you can also change the colours after that you have plotted them, this sometimes is easier to perform.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from random import randint
import numpy as np
#Let's generate some random X, Y data X = [ [frst group],[second group] ...]
X = [ [randint(0,50) for i in range(0,5)] for i in range(0,24)]
Y = [ [randint(0,50) for i in range(0,5)] for i in range(0,24)]
labels = range(1,len(X)+1)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
for x,y,lab in zip(X,Y,labels):
ax.scatter(x,y,label=lab)
The only piece of code that you need:
#Now this is actually the code that you need, an easy fix your colors just cut and paste not you need ax.
colormap = plt.cm.gist_ncar #nipy_spectral, Set1,Paired
colorst = [colormap(i) for i in np.linspace(0, 0.9,len(ax.collections))]
for t,j1 in enumerate(ax.collections):
j1.set_color(colorst[t])
ax.legend(fontsize='small')
The output gives you differnent colors even when you have many different scatter plots in the same subplot.
Java: object to byte[] and byte[] to object converter (for Tokyo Cabinet)
public static byte[] serialize(Object obj) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
os.writeObject(obj);
return out.toByteArray();
}
public static Object deserialize(byte[] data) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(in);
return is.readObject();
}
