Changing date format in R

This is really easy using package lubridate. All you have to do is tell R what format your date is already in. It then converts it into the standard format

nzd$date <- dmy(nzd$date)

that's it.

Display Python datetime without time

For me, I needed to KEEP a timetime object because I was using UTC and it's a bit of a pain. So, this is what I ended up doing:

date = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

start_of_day = date - datetime.timedelta(
    hours=date.hour, 
    minutes=date.minute, 
    seconds=date.second, 
    microseconds=date.microsecond
)

end_of_day = start_of_day + datetime.timedelta(
    hours=23, 
    minutes=59, 
    seconds=59
)

Example output:

>>> date
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 14, 17, 21, 5, 511600)
>>> start_of_day
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 14, 0, 0)
>>> end_of_day
datetime.datetime(2016, 10, 14, 23, 59, 59)

How can I account for period (AM/PM) using strftime?

Try replacing %H (Hour on a 24-hour clock) with %I (Hour on a 12-hour clock) ?

What are the "standard unambiguous date" formats for string-to-date conversion in R?

Converting the date without specifying the current format can bring this error to you easily.

Here is an example:

sdate <- "2015.10.10"

Convert without specifying the Format:

date <- as.Date(sdate4) # ==> This will generate the same error"""Error in charToDate(x): character string is not in a standard unambiguous format""".

Convert with specified Format:

date <- as.Date(sdate4, format = "%Y.%m.%d") # ==> Error Free Date Conversion.

com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries

I Have got same error but My case was diffrent I have use Both Audience Network and Firebase.

I got this error

Android dependency 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement' has different version for the compile (11.0.4) and runtime (16.0.1) classpath. You should manually set the same version via DependencyResolution

Here is solution if you are using audience-network

implementation ("com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:$rootProject.fb_version")
{
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}

How to print an exception in Python 3?

Although if you want a code that is compatible with both python2 and python3 you can use this:

import logging
try:
    1/0
except Exception as e:
    if hasattr(e, 'message'):
        logging.warning('python2')
        logging.error(e.message)
    else:
        logging.warning('python3')
        logging.error(e)

TestNG ERROR Cannot find class in classpath

i was facing same issue solution is , you need to check testng file,your class created under package in this case class is not found through Test NG. perform below steps just convert your project in to Test NG and over write/rplace with new testNG file.

Again run this TestNG in this case it is working my case,

How to get the anchor from the URL using jQuery?

If you just have a plain url string (and therefore don't have a hash attribute) you can also use a regular expression:

var url = "www.example.com/task1/1.3.html#a_1"  
var anchor = url.match(/#(.*)/)[1] 

How to set TextView textStyle such as bold, italic

textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.ITALIC);
textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.NORMAL);

To keep the previous typeface

textView.setTypeface(textView.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC)

No input file specified

In my case, I fixed it by butting the rules inside a LocationMatch Directive

<LocationMatch "^/.">
    #your rewrite rules here
</LocationMatch>

/. matches any location

I have the rewrite rules inside one of the .conf files of Apache NOT .htaccess file.

I don't know why this worked with me, this is my current setup

  • Apache version 2.4
  • PHP 7.1
  • OS Centos 7
  • PHP-FPM

Make absolute positioned div expand parent div height

"You either use fixed heights or you need to involve JS."

Here is the JS example:

---------- jQuery JS example--------------------

    function findEnvelopSizeOfAbsolutelyPositionedChildren(containerSelector){
        var maxX = $(containerSelector).width(), maxY = $(containerSelector).height();

        $(containerSelector).children().each(function (i){
            if (maxX < parseInt($(this).css('left')) + $(this).width()){
                maxX = parseInt($(this).css('left')) + $(this).width();
            }
            if (maxY < parseInt($(this).css('top')) + $(this).height()){
                maxY = parseInt($(this).css('top')) + $(this).height();
            }
        });
        return {
            'width': maxX,
            'height': maxY
        }
    }

    var specBodySize = findEnvelopSizeOfAbsolutelyPositionedSubDivs("#SpecBody");
    $("#SpecBody").width(specBodySize.width);
    $("#SpecBody").height(specBodySize.height);

How do I get the object if it exists, or None if it does not exist?

This is a copycat from Django's get_object_or_404 except that the method returns None. This is extremely useful when we have to use only() query to retreive certain fields only. This method can accept a model or a queryset.

from django.shortcuts import _get_queryset


def get_object_or_none(klass, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Use get() to return an object, or return None if object
    does not exist.
    klass may be a Model, Manager, or QuerySet object. All other passed
    arguments and keyword arguments are used in the get() query.
    Like with QuerySet.get(), MultipleObjectsReturned is raised if more than
    one object is found.
    """
    queryset = _get_queryset(klass)
    if not hasattr(queryset, 'get'):
        klass__name = klass.__name__ if isinstance(klass, type) else klass.__class__.__name__
        raise ValueError(
            "First argument to get_object_or_none() must be a Model, Manager, "
            "or QuerySet, not '%s'." % klass__name
        )
    try:
        return queryset.get(*args, **kwargs)
    except queryset.model.DoesNotExist:
        return None

ByRef argument type mismatch in Excel VBA

While looping through your string one character at a time is a viable method, there's no need. VBA has built-in functions for this kind of thing:

Public Function ProcessString(input_string As String) As String
    ProcessString=Replace(input_string,"*","")
End Function

Ant if else condition?

The quirky syntax using conditions on the target (described by Mads) is the only supported way to perform conditional execution in core ANT.

ANT is not a programming language and when things get complicated I choose to embed a script within my build as follows:

<target name="prepare-copy" description="copy file based on condition">
    <groovy>
        if (properties["some.condition"] == "true") {
            ant.copy(file:"${properties["some.dir"]}/true", todir:".")
        }
    </groovy>
</target>

ANT supports several languages (See script task), my preference is Groovy because of it's terse syntax and because it plays so well with the build.

Apologies, David I am not a fan of ant-contrib.

What is the difference between '@' and '=' in directive scope in AngularJS?

There are three ways scope can be added in the directive:

  1. Parent scope: This is the default scope inheritance.

The directive and its parent(controller/directive inside which it lies) scope is same. So any changes made to the scope variables inside directive are reflected in the parent controller as well. You don't need to specify this as it is the default.

  1. Child scope: directive creates a child scope which inherits from the parent scope if you specify the scope variable of the directive as true.

Here, if you change the scope variables inside directive, it won't reflect in the parent scope, but if you change the property of a scope variable, that is reflected in the parent scope, as you actually modified the scope variable of the parent.

Example,

app.directive("myDirective", function(){

    return {
        restrict: "EA",
        scope: true,
        link: function(element, scope, attrs){
            scope.somvar = "new value"; //doesnot reflect in the parent scope
            scope.someObj.someProp = "new value"; //reflects as someObj is of parent, we modified that but did not override.
        }
    };
});
  1. Isolated scope: This is used when you want to create the scope that does not inherit from the controller scope.

This happens when you are creating plugins as this makes the directive generic since it can be placed in any HTML and does not gets affected by its parent scope.

Now, if you don't want any interaction with the parent scope, then you can just specify scope as an empty object. like,

scope: {} //this does not interact with the parent scope in any way

Mostly this is not the case as we need some interaction with the parent scope, so we want some of the values/ changes to pass through. For this reason, we use:

1. "@"   (  Text binding / one-way binding )
2. "="   ( Direct model binding / two-way binding )
3. "&"   ( Behaviour binding / Method binding  )

@ means that the changes from the controller scope will be reflected in the directive scope but if you modify the value in the directive scope, the controller scope variable will not get affected.

@ always expects the mapped attribute to be an expression. This is very important; because to make the “@” prefix work, we need to wrap the attribute value inside {{}}.

= is bidirectional so if you change the variable in directive scope, the controller scope variable gets affected as well

& is used to bind controller scope method so that if needed we can call it from the directive

The advantage here is that the name of the variable need not be same in controller scope and directive scope.

Example, the directive scope has a variable "dirVar" which syncs with variable "contVar" of the controller scope. This gives a lot of power and generalization to the directive as one controller can sync with variable v1 while another controller using the same directive can ask dirVar to sync with variable v2.

Below is the example of usage:

The directive and controller are:

 var app = angular.module("app", []);
 app.controller("MainCtrl", function( $scope ){
    $scope.name = "Harry";
    $scope.color = "#333333";
    $scope.reverseName = function(){
     $scope.name = $scope.name.split("").reverse().join("");
    };
    $scope.randomColor = function(){
        $scope.color = '#'+Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
    };
});
app.directive("myDirective", function(){
    return {
        restrict: "EA",
        scope: {
            name: "@",
            color: "=",
            reverse: "&"
        },
        link: function(element, scope, attrs){
           //do something like
           $scope.reverse(); 
          //calling the controllers function
        }
    };
});

And the html(note the differnce for @ and =):

<div my-directive
  class="directive"
  name="{{name}}"
  reverse="reverseName()"
  color="color" >
</div>

Here is a link to the blog which describes it nicely.

Html/PHP - Form - Input as array

If is ok for you to index the array you can do this:

<form>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[0][level]">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[0][build_time]">

    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[1][level]">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[1][build_time]">

    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[2][level]">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Titel" name="levels[2][build_time]">
</form>

... to achieve that:

[levels] => Array ( 
  [0] => Array ( 
    [level] => 1 
    [build_time] => 2 
  ) 
  [1] => Array ( 
    [level] => 234 
   [build_time] => 456 
  )
  [2] => Array ( 
    [level] => 111
    [build_time] => 222 
  )
) 

But if you remove one pair of inputs (dynamically, I suppose) from the middle of the form then you'll get holes in your array, unless you update the input names...

How to convert numbers between hexadecimal and decimal

If it's a really big hex string beyond the capacity of the normal integer:

For .NET 3.5, we can use BouncyCastle's BigInteger class:

String hex = "68c7b05d0000000002f8";
// results in "494809724602834812404472"
String decimal = new Org.BouncyCastle.Math.BigInteger(hex, 16).ToString();

.NET 4.0 has the BigInteger class.

Equivalent of "continue" in Ruby

Use next, it will bypass that condition and rest of the code will work. Below i have provided the Full script and out put

      puts i
    end
  end
end

obj=TestBreak.new()

Output: Enter the nmber 10

How to write a Unit Test?

Other answers have shown you how to use JUnit to set up test classes. JUnit is not the only Java test framework. Concentrating on the technical details of using a framework however detracts from the most important concepts that should be guiding your actions, so I will talk about those.

  • Testing (of all kinds of all kinds of things) compares the actual behaviour of something (The System Under Test, SUT) with its expected behaviour.

  • Automated testing can be done using a computer program. Because that comparison is being done by an inflexible and unintelligent computer program, the expected behaviour must be precisely and unambiguously known.

  • What a program or part of a program (a class or method) is expected to do is its specification. Testing software therefore requires that you have a specification for the SUT. This might be an explicit description, or an implicit specification in your head of what is expected.

  • Automated unit testing therefore requires a precise and unambiguous specification of the class or method you are testing.

  • But you needed that specification when you set out to write that code. So part of what testing is about actually begins before you write even one line of the SUT. The testing technique of Test Driven Development (TDD) takes that idea to an extreme, and has you create the unit testing code before you write the code to be tested.

  • Unit testing frameworks test your SUT using assertions. An assertion is a logical expression (an expression with a boolean result type; a predicate) that must be true if the SUT is behaving correctly. The specification must therefore be expressed (or re-expressed) as assertions.

  • A useful technique for expressing a specification as assertions is programming by contract. These specifications are in terms of postconditions. A postcondition is an assertion about the publicly visible state of the SUT after return from a method or a constructor. Some methods have postconditions that are invariants, which are predicates that are true before and after execution of the method. A class can also be said to have invariants, which are postconditions of every constructor and method of the class, and hence should always be true. Postconditions (And invariants) are expressed only in terms of publicity visible state: public and protected fields, the values returned by returned by public and protected methods (such as getters), and the publicly visible state of objects passed (by reference) to methods.


Many beginners post questions here asking how they can test some code, presenting the code but without stating the specification for that code. As this discussion shows, it is impossible for anyone to give a good answer to such a question, because at best potential answereres must guess the specification, and might do so incorrectly. The asker of the question evidently does not understand the importance of a specification, and is thus a novice who needs to understand the fundamentals I've described here before trying to write some test code.

HTML inside Twitter Bootstrap popover

This is a slight modification on Jack's excellent answer.

The following makes sure simple popovers, without HTML content, remain unaffected.

JavaScript:

$(function(){
    $('[data-toggle=popover]:not([data-popover-content])').popover();
    $('[data-toggle=popover][data-popover-content]').popover({
        html : true,
        content: function() {
          var content = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
          return $(content).children(".popover-body").html();
        },
        title: function() {
          var title = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
          return $(title).children(".popover-heading").html();
        }
    });
});

How to set caret(cursor) position in contenteditable element (div)?

_x000D_
_x000D_
function set_mouse() {_x000D_
  var as = document.getElementById("editable");_x000D_
  el = as.childNodes[1].childNodes[0]; //goal is to get ('we') id to write (object Text) because it work only in object text_x000D_

  sel.addRange(range);_x000D_
_x000D_
  document.getElementById("we").innerHTML = el; // see out put of we id_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div id="editable" contenteditable="true">dddddddddddddddddddddddddddd_x000D_
  <p>dd</p>psss_x000D_
  <p>dd</p>_x000D_
  <p>dd</p>_x000D_
  <p>text text text</p>_x000D_

<p id='we'></p>_x000D_
<button onclick="set_mouse()">focus</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

It is very hard set caret in proper position when you have advance element like (p) (span) etc. The goal is to get (object text):

<div id="editable" contenteditable="true">dddddddddddddddddddddddddddd<p>dd</p>psss<p>dd</p>
    <p>dd</p>
    <p>text text text</p>
</div>
<p id='we'></p>
<button onclick="set_mouse()">focus</button>
<script>

    function set_mouse() {
        var as = document.getElementById("editable");
        el = as.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];//goal is to get ('we') id to write (object Text) because it work only in object text
        var range = document.createRange();
        var sel = window.getSelection();
        range.setStart(el, 1);
        range.collapse(true);
        sel.removeAllRanges();
        sel.addRange(range);

        document.getElementById("we").innerHTML = el;// see out put of we id
    }
</script>

Fixed point vs Floating point number

Take the number 123.456789

  • As an integer, this number would be 123
  • As a fixed point (2), this number would be 123.46 (Assuming you rounded it up)
  • As a floating point, this number would be 123.456789

Floating point lets you represent most every number with a great deal of precision. Fixed is less precise, but simpler for the computer..

Mapping composite keys using EF code first

You definitely need to put in the column order, otherwise how is SQL Server supposed to know which one goes first? Here's what you would need to do in your code:

public class MyTable
{
  [Key, Column(Order = 0)]
  public string SomeId { get; set; }

  [Key, Column(Order = 1)]
  public int OtherId { get; set; }
}

You can also look at this SO question. If you want official documentation, I would recommend looking at the official EF website. Hope this helps.

EDIT: I just found a blog post from Julie Lerman with links to all kinds of EF 6 goodness. You can find whatever you need here.

If using maven, usually you put log4j.properties under java or resources?

If your log4j.properties or log4j.xml file not found under src/main/resources use this PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.xml");

   PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.xml");
   Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);
   logger.error(message);

How can I remove text within parentheses with a regex?

If a path may contain parentheses then the r'\(.*?\)' regex is not enough:

import os, re

def remove_parenthesized_chunks(path, safeext=True, safedir=True):
    dirpath, basename = os.path.split(path) if safedir else ('', path)
    name, ext = os.path.splitext(basename) if safeext else (basename, '')
    name = re.sub(r'\(.*?\)', '', name)
    return os.path.join(dirpath, name+ext)

By default the function preserves parenthesized chunks in directory and extention parts of the path.

Example:

>>> f = remove_parenthesized_chunks
>>> f("Example_file_(extra_descriptor).ext")
'Example_file_.ext'
>>> path = r"c:\dir_(important)\example(extra).ext(untouchable)"
>>> f(path)
'c:\\dir_(important)\\example.ext(untouchable)'
>>> f(path, safeext=False)
'c:\\dir_(important)\\example.ext'
>>> f(path, safedir=False)
'c:\\dir_\\example.ext(untouchable)'
>>> f(path, False, False)
'c:\\dir_\\example.ext'
>>> f(r"c:\(extra)\example(extra).ext", safedir=False)
'c:\\\\example.ext'

Serializing class instance to JSON

There's another really simple and elegant approach that can be applied here which is to just subclass 'dict' since it is serializable by default.

from json import dumps

class Response(dict):
    def __init__(self, status_code, body):
        super().__init__(
            status_code = status_code,
            body = body
        )

r = Response()
dumps(r)

Get month name from number

I created my own function converting numbers to their corresponding month.

def month_name (number):
    if number == 1:
        return "January"
    elif number == 2:
        return "February"
    elif number == 3:
        return "March"
    elif number == 4:
        return "April"
    elif number == 5:
        return "May"
    elif number == 6:
        return "June"
    elif number == 7:
        return "July"
    elif number == 8:
        return "August"
    elif number == 9:
        return "September"
    elif number == 10:
        return "October"
    elif number == 11:
        return "November"
    elif number == 12:
        return "December"

Then I can call the function. For example:

print (month_name (12))

Outputs:

>>> December

installing urllib in Python3.6

urllib is a standard python library (built-in) so you don't have to install it. just import it if you need to use request by:

import urllib.request

if it's not work maybe you compiled python in wrong way, so be kind and give us more details.

Reading Excel file using node.js

There are a few different libraries doing parsing of Excel files (.xlsx). I will list two projects I find interesting and worth looking into.

Node-xlsx

Excel parser and builder. It's kind of a wrapper for a popular project JS-XLSX, which is a pure javascript implementation from the Office Open XML spec.

node-xlsx project page

Example for parsing file

var xlsx = require('node-xlsx');

var obj = xlsx.parse(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx'); // parses a file

var obj = xlsx.parse(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myFile.xlsx')); // parses a buffer

ExcelJS

Read, manipulate and write spreadsheet data and styles to XLSX and JSON. It's an active project. At the time of writing the latest commit was 9 hours ago. I haven't tested this myself, but the api looks extensive with a lot of possibilites.

exceljs project page

Code example:

// read from a file
var workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
workbook.xlsx.readFile(filename)
    .then(function() {
        // use workbook
    });

// pipe from stream
var workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
stream.pipe(workbook.xlsx.createInputStream());

How do I fix maven error The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly?

Following is the best way to get of the issue , check following on classpath:

  1. Make sure JAVA_HOME system variable must have till jdk e.g C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80 , don't append bin here.

  2. Because MAVEN will look for jre which is under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80

  3. Set %JAVA_HOME%\bin in classpath .

Then try Maven version .

Hope it will help .

Adobe Acrobat Pro make all pages the same dimension

  • Open the PDF in MacOS´ Preview App
  • Chose File menu –> Export as PDF
  • In the export dialog klick the Details button an select your page size
  • Click save

All pages of the resulting document will be scaled to that size. The resulting file size is nearly identical to the original PDF, so I conclude, that image resolutions/compressions are not changed.

Hints:

  1. I am not sure whether the "Export as PDF" menu item is available by default or only if Adobe Acrobat is installed.

  2. My first trial was to use Preview App and print (!) into a new PDF, but this leads to additional margins around the page content.

Py_Initialize fails - unable to load the file system codec

Parts of this have been mentioned before, but in a nutshell this is what worked for my environment where I have multiple Python installs and my global OS environment set-up to point to a different install than the one I attempt to work with when encountering the problem.

Make sure your (local or global) environment is fully set-up to point to the install you aim to work with, e.g. you have two (or more) installs of, let's say a python27 and python33 (sorry these are windows paths but the following should be valid for equivalent UNIX-style paths just as well, please let me know about anything I'm missing here (probably the DLLs path might differ)):

C:\python27_x86

C:\python33_x64

Now, if you intend to work with your python33 install but your global environment is pointing to python27, make sure you update your environment as such (while PATH and PYTHONHOME may be optional (e.g. if you temporarily work in a local shell)):

PATH="C:\python33_x64;%PATH%"

PYTHONPATH="C:\python33_x64\DLLs;C:\python33_x64\Lib;C:\python33_x64\Lib\site-packages"

PYTHONHOME=C:\python33_x64

Note, that you might need/want to append any other library paths to your PYTHONPATH if required by your development environment, but having your DLLs, Lib and site-packages properly set-up is of prime importance.

Hope this helps.

Find out where MySQL is installed on Mac OS X

To check MySQL version of MAMP , use the following command in Terminal:

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql --version

Assume you have started MAMP .

Example output:

./mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.44, for apple-darwin8.11.1 (i386) using  EditLine wrapper

UPDATE: Moreover, if you want to find where does mysql installed in system, use the following command:

type -a mysql

type -a is an equivalent of tclsh built-in command where in OS X bash shell. If MySQL is found, it will show :

mysql is /usr/bin/mysql

If not found, it will show:

-bash: type: mysql: not found

By default , MySQL is not installed in Mac OS X.

Sidenote: For XAMPP, the command should be:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql --version

How to stop mysqld

What worked for me on CentOS 6.4 was running service mysqld stop as the root user.

I found my answer on nixCraft.

Fastest method of screen capturing on Windows

In my Impression, the GDI approach and the DX approach are different in its nature. painting using GDI applies the FLUSH method, the FLUSH approach draws the frame then clear it and redraw another frame in the same buffer, this will result in flickering in games require high frame rate.

  1. WHY DX quicker? in DX (or graphics world), a more mature method called double buffer rendering is applied, where two buffers are present, when present the front buffer to the hardware, you can render to the other buffer as well, then after the frame 1 is finished rendering, the system swap to the other buffer( locking it for presenting to hardware , and release the previous buffer ), in this way the rendering inefficiency is greatly improved.
  2. WHY turning down hardware acceleration quicker? although with double buffer rendering, the FPS is improved, but the time for rendering is still limited. modern graphic hardware usually involves a lot of optimization during rendering typically like anti-aliasing, this is very computation intensive, if you don't require that high quality graphics, of course you can just disable this option. and this will save you some time.

I think what you really need is a replay system, which I totally agree with what people discussed.

How to delete a file after checking whether it exists

if (System.IO.File.Exists(@"C:\test.txt"))
    System.IO.File.Delete(@"C:\test.txt"));

but

System.IO.File.Delete(@"C:\test.txt");

will do the same as long as the folder exists.

Detect whether current Windows version is 32 bit or 64 bit

In C#:

public bool Is64bit() {
    return Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(IntPtr)) == 8;
}

In VB.NET:

Public Function Is64bit() As Boolean
   If Marshal.SizeOf(GetType(IntPtr)) = 8 Then Return True
   Return False
End Function

Hash Table/Associative Array in VBA

I think you are looking for the Dictionary object, found in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library. (Add a reference to your project from the Tools...References menu in the VBE.)

It pretty much works with any simple value that can fit in a variant (Keys can't be arrays, and trying to make them objects doesn't make much sense. See comment from @Nile below.):

Dim d As dictionary
Set d = New dictionary

d("x") = 42
d(42) = "forty-two"
d(CVErr(xlErrValue)) = "Excel #VALUE!"
Set d(101) = New Collection

You can also use the VBA Collection object if your needs are simpler and you just want string keys.

I don't know if either actually hashes on anything, so you might want to dig further if you need hashtable-like performance. (EDIT: Scripting.Dictionary does use a hash table internally.)

How to export non-exportable private key from store

You're right, no API at all that I'm aware to export PrivateKey marked as non-exportable. But if you patch (in memory) normal APIs, you can use the normal way to export :)

There is a new version of mimikatz that also support CNG Export (Windows Vista / 7 / 2008 ...)

  1. download (and launch with administrative privileges) : http://blog.gentilkiwi.com/mimikatz (trunk version or last version)

Run it and enter the following commands in its prompt:

  1. privilege::debug (unless you already have it or target only CryptoApi)
  2. crypto::patchcng (nt 6) and/or crypto::patchcapi (nt 5 & 6)
  3. crypto::exportCertificates and/or crypto::exportCertificates CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE

The exported .pfx files are password protected with the password "mimikatz"

How do you run a crontab in Cygwin on Windows?

You need to also install cygrunsrv so you can set cron up as a windows service, then run cron-config.

If you want the cron jobs to send email of any output you'll also need to install either exim or ssmtp (before running cron-config.)

See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron-*.README for more details.

Regarding programs without a .exe extension, they are probably shell scripts of some type. If you look at the first line of the file you could see what program you need to use to run them (e.g., "#!/bin/sh"), so you could perhaps execute them from the windows scheduler by calling the shell program (e.g., "C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -l /my/cygwin/path/to/prog".)

How do you create a custom AuthorizeAttribute in ASP.NET Core?

For authorization in our app. We had to call a service based on the parameters passed in authorization attribute.

For example, if we want to check if logged in doctor can view patient appointments we will pass "View_Appointment" to custom authorize attribute and check that right in DB service and based on results we will athorize. Here is the code for this scenario:

    public class PatientAuthorizeAttribute : TypeFilterAttribute
    {
    public PatientAuthorizeAttribute(params PatientAccessRights[] right) : base(typeof(AuthFilter)) //PatientAccessRights is an enum
    {
        Arguments = new object[] { right };
    }

    private class AuthFilter : IActionFilter
    {
        PatientAccessRights[] right;

        IAuthService authService;

        public AuthFilter(IAuthService authService, PatientAccessRights[] right)
        {
            this.right = right;
            this.authService = authService;
        }

        public void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext context)
        {
        }

        public void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext context)
        {
            var allparameters = context.ActionArguments.Values;
            if (allparameters.Count() == 1)
            {
                var param = allparameters.First();
                if (typeof(IPatientRequest).IsAssignableFrom(param.GetType()))
                {
                    IPatientRequest patientRequestInfo = (IPatientRequest)param;
                    PatientAccessRequest userAccessRequest = new PatientAccessRequest();
                    userAccessRequest.Rights = right;
                    userAccessRequest.MemberID = patientRequestInfo.PatientID;
                    var result = authService.CheckUserPatientAccess(userAccessRequest).Result; //this calls DB service to check from DB
                    if (result.Status == ReturnType.Failure)
                    {
                        //TODO: return apirepsonse
                        context.Result = new StatusCodeResult((int)System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new AppSystemException("PatientAuthorizeAttribute not supported");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                throw new AppSystemException("PatientAuthorizeAttribute not supported");
            }
        }
    }
}

And on API action we use it like this:

    [PatientAuthorize(PatientAccessRights.PATIENT_VIEW_APPOINTMENTS)] //this is enum, we can pass multiple
    [HttpPost]
    public SomeReturnType ViewAppointments()
    {

    }

What is the preferred Bash shebang?

I recommend using:

#!/bin/bash

It's not 100% portable (some systems place bash in a location other than /bin), but the fact that a lot of existing scripts use #!/bin/bash pressures various operating systems to make /bin/bash at least a symlink to the main location.

The alternative of:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

has been suggested -- but there's no guarantee that the env command is in /usr/bin (and I've used systems where it isn't). Furthermore, this form will use the first instance of bash in the current users $PATH, which might not be a suitable version of the bash shell.

(But /usr/bin/env should work on any reasonably modern system, either because env is in /usr/bin or because the system does something to make it work. The system I referred to above was SunOS 4, which I probably haven't used in about 25 years.)

If you need a script to run on a system that doesn't have /bin/bash, you can modify the script to point to the correct location (that's admittedly inconvenient).

I've discussed the tradeoffs in greater depth in my answer to this question.

A somewhat obscure update: One system I use, Termux, a desktop-Linux-like layer that runs under Android, doesn't have /bin/bash (bash is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash) -- but it has special handling to support #!/bin/bash.

How to edit default.aspx on SharePoint site without SharePoint Designer

I was able to accomplish editing the default.aspx page by:

  • Opening the site in SharePoint Designer 2013
  • Then clicking 'All Files' to view all of the files,
  • Then right-click -> Edit file in Advanced Mode.

By doing that I was able to remove the tagprefix causing a problem on my page.

How can the error 'Client found response content type of 'text/html'.. be interpreted

The webserver is returning an http 500 error code. These errors generally happen when an exception in thrown on the webserver and there's no logic to catch it so it spits out an http 500 error. You can usually resolve the problem by placing try-catch blocks in your code.

Launch an app from within another (iPhone)

In Swift 4.1 and Xcode 9.4.1

I have two apps 1)PageViewControllerExample and 2)DelegateExample. Now i want to open DelegateExample app with PageViewControllerExample app. When i click open button in PageViewControllerExample, DelegateExample app will be opened.

For this we need to make some changes in .plist files for both the apps.

Step 1

In DelegateExample app open .plist file and add URL Types and URL Schemes. Here we need to add our required name like "myapp".

enter image description here

Step 2

In PageViewControllerExample app open .plist file and add this code

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
    <string>myapp</string>
</array>

Now we can open DelegateExample app when we click button in PageViewControllerExample.

//In PageViewControllerExample create IBAction
@IBAction func openapp(_ sender: UIButton) {

    let customURL = URL(string: "myapp://")
    if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(customURL!) {

        //let systemVersion = UIDevice.current.systemVersion//Get OS version
        //if Double(systemVersion)! >= 10.0 {//10 or above versions
            //print(systemVersion)
            //UIApplication.shared.open(customURL!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
        //} else {
            //UIApplication.shared.openURL(customURL!)
        //}

        //OR

        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            UIApplication.shared.open(customURL!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
        } else {
            UIApplication.shared.openURL(customURL!)
        }
    } else {
         //Print alert here
    }
}

Detecting iOS / Android Operating system

One can use navigator.platform to get the operating system on which browser is installed.

function getPlatform() {
   var platform = ["Win32", "Android", "iOS"];

   for (var i = 0; i < platform.length; i++) {

       if (navigator.platform.indexOf(platform[i]) >- 1) {

           return platform[i];
       }
   }
}

getPlatform();

    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(1,n):
            if data[j-1] > data[j]:
                (data[j-1], data[j]) = (data[j], data[j-1])
    print(data)

Calling a Javascript Function from Console

I just discovered this issue. I was able to get around it by using indirection. In each module define a function, lets call it indirect:

function indirect(js) { return eval(js); }

With that function in each module, you can then execute any code in the context of it.

E.g. if you had this import in your module:

import { imported_fn } from "./import.js";

You could then get the results of calling imported_fn from the console by doing this:

indirect("imported_fn()");

Using eval was my first thought, but it doesn't work. My hypothesis is that calling eval from the console remains in the context of console, and we need to execute in the context of the module.

CSS Always On Top

Assuming that your markup looks like:

<div id="header" style="position: fixed;"></div>
<div id="content" style="position: relative;"></div>

Now both elements are positioned; in which case, the element at the bottom (in source order) will cover element above it (in source order).

Add a z-index on header; 1 should be sufficient.

File upload progress bar with jQuery

Here is a more complete looking jquery 1.11.x $.ajax() usage:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function uploadProgressHandler(event) {
        $("#loaded_n_total").html("Uploaded " + event.loaded + " bytes of " + event.total);
        var percent = (event.loaded / event.total) * 100;
        var progress = Math.round(percent);
        $("#uploadProgressBar").html(progress + " percent na ang progress");
        $("#uploadProgressBar").css("width", progress + "%");
        $("#status").html(progress + "% uploaded... please wait");
    }

    function loadHandler(event) {
        $("#status").html(event.target.responseText);
        $("#uploadProgressBar").css("width", "0%");
    }

    function errorHandler(event) {
        $("#status").html("Upload Failed");
    }

    function abortHandler(event) {
        $("#status").html("Upload Aborted");
    }

    $("#uploadFile").click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        var file = $("#fileUpload")[0].files[0];
        var formData = new FormData();
        formData.append("file1", file);

        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://testarea.local/UploadWithProgressBar1/file_upload_parser.php',
            method: 'POST',
            type: 'POST',
            data: formData,
            contentType: false,
            processData: false,
            xhr: function () {
                var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();
                xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress",
                    uploadProgressHandler,
                    false
                );
                xhr.addEventListener("load", loadHandler, false);
                xhr.addEventListener("error", errorHandler, false);
                xhr.addEventListener("abort", abortHandler, false);

                return xhr;
            }
        });
    });
</script>

Relative instead of Absolute paths in Excel VBA

Just to clarify what yalestar said, this will give you the relative path:

Workbooks.Open FileName:= ThisWorkbook.Path & "\TRICATEndurance Summary.html"

How do I pass a URL with multiple parameters into a URL?

In your example parts of your passed-in URL are not URL encoded (for example the colon should be %3A, the forward slashes should be %2F). It looks like you have encoded the parameters to your parameter URL, but not the parameter URL itself. Try encoding it as well. You can use encodeURIComponent.

Classpath including JAR within a JAR

You do NOT want to use those "explode JAR contents" solutions. They definitely make it harder to see stuff (since everything is exploded at the same level). Furthermore, there could be naming conflicts (should not happen if people use proper packages, but you cannot always control this).

The feature that you want is one of the top 25 Sun RFEs: RFE 4648386, which Sun, in their infinite wisdom, has designated as being of low priority. We can only hope that Sun wakes up...

In the meanwhile, the best solution that I have come across (which I wish that Sun would copy in the JDK) is to use the custom class loader JarClassLoader.

How do I tell matplotlib that I am done with a plot?

Just enter plt.hold(False) before the first plt.plot, and you can stick to your original code.

Looking for a good Python Tree data structure

You can build a nice tree of dicts of dicts like this:

import collections

def Tree():
    return collections.defaultdict(Tree)

It might not be exactly what you want but it's quite useful! Values are saved only in the leaf nodes. Here is an example of how it works:

>>> t = Tree()
>>> t
defaultdict(<function tree at 0x2142f50>, {})
>>> t[1] = "value"
>>> t[2][2] = "another value"
>>> t
defaultdict(<function tree at 0x2142f50>, {1: 'value', 2: defaultdict(<function tree at 0x2142f50>, {2: 'another value'})}) 

For more information take a look at the gist.

How to get current location in Android

I'm using this tutorial and it works nicely for my application.

In my activity I put this code:

GPSTracker tracker = new GPSTracker(this);
    if (!tracker.canGetLocation()) {
        tracker.showSettingsAlert();
    } else {
        latitude = tracker.getLatitude();
        longitude = tracker.getLongitude();
    }

Calculate median in c#

Is there a function in the .net Math library?

No.

It's not hard to write your own though. The naive algorithm sorts the array and picks the middle (or the average of the two middle) elements. However, this algorithm is O(n log n) while its possible to solve this problem in O(n) time. You want to look at selection algorithms to get such an algorithm.

How do malloc() and free() work?

This has nothing specifically to do with malloc and free. Your program exhibits undefined behaviour after you copy the string - it could crash at that point or at any point afterwards. This would be true even if you never used malloc and free, and allocated the char array on the stack or statically.

Change One Cell's Data in mysql

Try the following:

UPDATE TableName SET ValueName=@parameterName WHERE

"Too many characters in character literal error"

I faced the same issue. String.Replace('\\.','') is not valid statement and throws the same error. Thanks to C# we can use double quotes instead of single quotes and following works String.Replace("\\.","")

MySQL InnoDB not releasing disk space after deleting data rows from table

There are several ways to reclaim diskspace after deleting data from table for MySQL Inodb engine

If you don't use innodb_file_per_table from the beginning, dumping all data, delete all file, recreate database and import data again is only way ( check answers of FlipMcF above )

If you are using innodb_file_per_table, you may try

  1. If you can delete all data truncate command will delete data and reclaim diskspace for you.
  2. Alter table command will drop and recreate table so it can reclaim diskspace. Therefore after delete data, run alter table that change nothing to release hardisk ( ie: table TBL_A has charset uf8, after delete data run ALTER TABLE TBL_A charset utf8 -> this command change nothing from your table but It makes mysql recreate your table and regain diskspace
  3. Create TBL_B like TBL_A . Insert select data you want to keep from TBL_A into TBL_B. Drop TBL_A, and rename TBL_B to TBL_A. This way is very effective if TBL_A and data that needed to delete is big (delete command in MySQL innodb is very bad performance)

Unable to begin a distributed transaction

I was able to resolve this issue (as others mentioned in comments) by disabling "Enable Promotion of Distributed Transactions for RPC" (i.e. setting it to False):

enter image description here

As requested by @WonderWorker, you can do this via SQL script:

EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption
     @server = N'[mylinkedserver]',
     @optname = N'remote proc transaction promotion',
     @optvalue = N'false'

document.getElementById().value and document.getElementById().checked not working for IE

The code you pasted should work... There must be something else we are not seeing here.

Check this out. Working for me fine on IE7. When you submit you will see the variable passed in the URL.

jQuery detect if string contains something

You get the value of the textarea, use it :

$('.type').keyup(function() {
    var v = $('.type').val(); // you'd better use this.value here
    if (v.indexOf('> <')!=-1) {
       console.log('contains > <');        
    }
});

How to set breakpoints in inline Javascript in Google Chrome?

If you cannot see the "Scripts" tab, make sure you are launching Chrome with the right arguments. I had this problem when I launched Chrome for debugging server-side JavaScript with the argument --remote-shell-port=9222. I have no problem if I launch Chrome with no argument.

Lambda function in list comprehensions

The other answers are correct, but if you are trying to make a list of functions, each with a different parameter, that can be executed later, the following code will do that:

import functools
a = [functools.partial(lambda x: x*x, x) for x in range(10)]

b = []
for i in a:
    b.append(i())

In [26]: b
Out[26]: [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

While the example is contrived, I found it useful when I wanted a list of functions that each print something different, i.e.

import functools
a = [functools.partial(lambda x: print(x), x) for x in range(10)]

for i in a:
    i()

How to make a HTML Page in A4 paper size page(s)?

Ages ago, in November 2005, AlistApart.com published an article on how they published a book using nothing but HTML and CSS. See: http://alistapart.com/article/boom

Here's an excerpt of that article:

CSS2 has a notion of paged media (think sheets of paper), as opposed to continuous media (think scrollbars). Style sheets can set the size of pages and their margins. Page templates can be given names and elements can state which named page they want to be printed on. Also, elements in the source document can force page breaks. Here is a snippet from the style sheet we used:

@page {
   size: 7in 9.25in;
   margin: 27mm 16mm 27mm 16mm;
}

Having a US-based publisher, we were given the page size in inches. We, being Europeans, continued with metric measurements. CSS accepts both.

After setting the up the page size and margin, we needed to make sure there are page breaks in the right places. The following excerpt shows how page breaks are generated after chapters and appendices:

div.chapter, div.appendix {
    page-break-after: always;
}

Also, we used CSS2 to declare named pages:

div.titlepage {
  page: blank;
}

That is, the title page is to be printed on pages with the name “blank.” CSS2 described the concept of named pages, but their value only becomes apparent when headers and footers are available.

Anyway…

Since you want to print A4, you'll need different dimensions of course:

@page {
    size: 21cm 29.7cm;
    margin: 30mm 45mm 30mm 45mm;
     /* change the margins as you want them to be. */
}

The article dives into things like setting page-breaks, etc. so you might want to read that completely.

In your case, the trick is to create the print CSS first. Most modern browsers (>2005) support zooming and will already be able to display a website based on the print CSS.

Now, you'll want to make the web display look a bit different and adapt the whole design to fit most browsers too (including the old, pre 2005 ones). For that, you'll have to create a web CSS file or override some parts of your print CSS. When creating CSS for web display, remember that a browser can have ANY size (think: “mobile” up to “big-screen TVs”). Meaning: for the web CSS your page-width and image-width is best set using a variable width (%) to support as many display devices and web-browsing clients as possible.

EDIT (26-02-2015)

Today, I happened to stumble upon another, more recent article at SmashingMagazine which also dives into designing for print with HTML and CSS… just in case you could use yet-another-tutorial.

EDIT (30-10-2018)

It has been brought to my attention in that size is not valid CSS3, which is indeed correct — I merely repeated the code quoted in the article which (as noted) was good old CSS2 (which makes sense when you look at the year the article and this answer were first published). Anyway, here's the valid CSS3 code for your copy-and-paste convenience:

@media print {
    body{
        width: 21cm;
        height: 29.7cm;
        margin: 30mm 45mm 30mm 45mm; 
        /* change the margins as you want them to be. */
   } 
}

In case you think you really need pixels (you should actually avoid using pixels), you will have to take care of choosing the correct DPI for printing:

  • 72 dpi (web) = 595 X 842 pixels
  • 300 dpi (print) = 2480 X 3508 pixels
  • 600 dpi (high quality print) = 4960 X 7016 pixels

Yet, I would avoid the hassle and simply use cm (centimeters) or mm (millimeters) for sizing as that avoids rendering glitches that can arise depending on which client you use.

How to make Java honor the DNS Caching Timeout?

To expand on Byron's answer, I believe you need to edit the file java.security in the %JRE_HOME%\lib\security directory to effect this change.

Here is the relevant section:

#
# The Java-level namelookup cache policy for successful lookups:
#
# any negative value: caching forever
# any positive value: the number of seconds to cache an address for
# zero: do not cache
#
# default value is forever (FOREVER). For security reasons, this
# caching is made forever when a security manager is set. When a security
# manager is not set, the default behavior is to cache for 30 seconds.
#
# NOTE: setting this to anything other than the default value can have
#       serious security implications. Do not set it unless 
#       you are sure you are not exposed to DNS spoofing attack.
#
#networkaddress.cache.ttl=-1

How do I execute a Shell built-in command with a C function?

If you just want to execute the shell command in your c program, you could use,

   #include <stdlib.h>

   int system(const char *command);

In your case,

system("pwd");

The issue is that there isn't an executable file called "pwd" and I'm unable to execute "echo $PWD", since echo is also a built-in command with no executable to be found.

What do you mean by this? You should be able to find the mentioned packages in /bin/

sudo find / -executable -name pwd
sudo find / -executable -name echo

How can I add a table of contents to a Jupyter / JupyterLab notebook?

JupyterLab ToC instructions

There are already many good answers to this question, but they often require tweaks to work properly with notebooks in JupyterLab. I wrote this answer to detail the possible ways of including a ToC in a notebook while working in and exporting from JupyterLab.

As a side panel

The jupyterlab-toc extension adds the ToC as a side panel that can number headings, collapse sections, and be used for navigation (see gif below for a demo). This extension is included by default since JupyterLab 3.0, in older version you can install it with the following command

jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/toc

enter image description here


In the notebook as a cell

At the time being, this can either be done manually as in Matt Dancho's answer, or automatically via the toc2 jupyter notebook extension in the classic notebook interface.

First, install toc2 as part of the jupyter_contrib_nbextensions bundle:

conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions

Then, launch JupyterLab, go to Help --> Launch Classic Notebook, and open the notebook in which you want to add the ToC. Click the toc2 symbol in the toolbar to bring up the floating ToC window (see the gif below if you can't find it), click the gear icon and check the box for "Add notebook ToC cell". Save the notebook and the ToC cell will be there when you open it in JupyterLab. The inserted cell is a markdown cell with html in it, it will not update automatically.

The default options of the toc2 can be configured in the "Nbextensions" tab in the classic notebook launch page. You can e.g. choose to number headings and to anchor the ToC as a side bar (which I personally think looks cleaner).

enter image description here


In an exported HTML file

nbconvert can be used to export notebooks to HTML following rules of how to format the exported HTML. The toc2 extension mentioned above adds an export format called html_toc, which can be used directly with nbconvert from the command line (after the toc2 extension has been installed):

jupyter nbconvert file.ipynb --to html_toc
# Append `--ExtractOutputPreprocessor.enabled=False`
# to get a single html file instead of a separate directory for images

Remember that shell commands can be added to notebook cells by prefacing them with an exclamation mark !, so you can stick this line in the last cell of the notebook and always have an HTML file with a ToC generated when you hit "Run all cells" (or whatever output you desire from nbconvert). This way, you could use jupyterlab-toc to navigate the notebook while you are working, and still get ToCs in the exported output without having to resort to using the classic notebook interface (for the purists among us).

Note that configuring the default toc2 options as described above, will not change the format of nbconver --to html_toc. You need to open the notebook in the classic notebook interface for the metadata to be written to the .ipynb file (nbconvert reads the metadata when exporting) Alternatively, you can add the metadata manually via the Notebook tools tab of the JupyterLab sidebar, e.g. something like:

    "toc": {
        "number_sections": false,
        "sideBar": true
    }

If you prefer a GUI-driven approach, you should be able to open the classic notebook and click File --> Save as HTML (with ToC) (although note that this menu item was not available for me).


The gifs above are linked from the respective documentation of the extensions.

Move / Copy File Operations in Java

Try to use org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils (General file manipulation utilities). Facilities are provided in the following methods:

(1) FileUtils.moveDirectory(File srcDir, File destDir) => Moves a directory.

(2) FileUtils.moveDirectoryToDirectory(File src, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a directory to another directory.

(3) FileUtils.moveFile(File srcFile, File destFile) => Moves a file.

(4) FileUtils.moveFileToDirectory(File srcFile, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a file to a directory.

(5) FileUtils.moveToDirectory(File src, File destDir, boolean createDestDir) => Moves a file or directory to the destination directory.

It's simple, easy and fast.

TensorFlow ValueError: Cannot feed value of shape (64, 64, 3) for Tensor u'Placeholder:0', which has shape '(?, 64, 64, 3)'

image has a shape of (64,64,3).

Your input placeholder _x have a shape of (?, 64,64,3).

The problem is that you're feeding the placeholder with a value of a different shape.

You have to feed it with a value of (1, 64, 64, 3) = a batch of 1 image.

Just reshape your image value to a batch with size one.

image = array(img).reshape(1, 64,64,3)

P.S: the fact that the input placeholder accepts a batch of images, means that you can run predicions for a batch of images in parallel. You can try to read more than 1 image (N images) and than build a batch of N image, using a tensor with shape (N, 64,64,3)

How to set URL query params in Vue with Vue-Router

Here is the example in docs:

// with query, resulting in /register?plan=private
router.push({ path: 'register', query: { plan: 'private' }})

Ref: https://router.vuejs.org/en/essentials/navigation.html

As mentioned in those docs, router.replace works like router.push

So, you seem to have it right in your sample code in question. But I think you may need to include either name or path parameter also, so that the router has some route to navigate to. Without a name or path, it does not look very meaningful.

This is my current understanding now:

  • query is optional for router - some additional info for the component to construct the view
  • name or path is mandatory - it decides what component to show in your <router-view>.

That might be the missing thing in your sample code.

EDIT: Additional details after comments

Have you tried using named routes in this case? You have dynamic routes, and it is easier to provide params and query separately:

routes: [
    { name: 'user-view', path: '/user/:id', component: UserView },
    // other routes
]

and then in your methods:

this.$router.replace({ name: "user-view", params: {id:"123"}, query: {q1: "q1"} })

Technically there is no difference between the above and this.$router.replace({path: "/user/123", query:{q1: "q1"}}), but it is easier to supply dynamic params on named routes than composing the route string. But in either cases, query params should be taken into account. In either case, I couldn't find anything wrong with the way query params are handled.

After you are inside the route, you can fetch your dynamic params as this.$route.params.id and your query params as this.$route.query.q1.

Call apply-like function on each row of dataframe with multiple arguments from each row

New answer with dplyr package

If the function that you want to apply is vectorized, then you could use the mutate function from the dplyr package:

> library(dplyr)
> myf <- function(tens, ones) { 10 * tens + ones }
> x <- data.frame(hundreds = 7:9, tens = 1:3, ones = 4:6)
> mutate(x, value = myf(tens, ones))
  hundreds tens ones value
1        7    1    4    14
2        8    2    5    25
3        9    3    6    36

Old answer with plyr package

In my humble opinion, the tool best suited to the task is mdply from the plyr package.

Example:

> library(plyr)
> x <- data.frame(tens = 1:3, ones = 4:6)
> mdply(x, function(tens, ones) { 10 * tens + ones })
  tens ones V1
1    1    4 14
2    2    5 25
3    3    6 36

Unfortunately, as Bertjan Broeksema pointed out, this approach fails if you don't use all the columns of the data frame in the mdply call. For example,

> library(plyr)
> x <- data.frame(hundreds = 7:9, tens = 1:3, ones = 4:6)
> mdply(x, function(tens, ones) { 10 * tens + ones })
Error in (function (tens, ones)  : unused argument (hundreds = 7)

Description Box using "onmouseover"

This an old question but for people still looking. In JS you can now use the title property.

The network adapter could not establish the connection - Oracle 11g

First check your listener is on or off. Go to net manager then Local -> service naming -> orcl. Then change your HOST NAME and put your PC name. Now go to LISTENER and change the HOST and put your PC name.

Create a pointer to two-dimensional array

The basic syntax of initializing pointer that points to multidimentional array is

type (*pointer)[1st dimension size][2nd dimension size][..] = &array_name

The the basic syntax for calling it is

(*pointer_name)[1st index][2nd index][...]

Here is a example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
   // The multidimentional array...
   char balance[5][100] = {
       "Subham",
       "Messi"
   };

   char (*p)[5][100] = &balance; // Pointer initialization...

   printf("%s\n",(*p)[0]); // Calling...
   printf("%s\n",(*p)[1]); // Calling...

  return 0;
}

Output is:

Subham
Messi

It worked...

Dynamically add event listener

Renderer has been deprecated in Angular 4.0.0-rc.1, read the update below

The angular2 way is to use listen or listenGlobal from Renderer

For example, if you want to add a click event to a Component, you have to use Renderer and ElementRef (this gives you as well the option to use ViewChild, or anything that retrieves the nativeElement)

constructor(elementRef: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {

    // Listen to click events in the component
    renderer.listen(elementRef.nativeElement, 'click', (event) => {
      // Do something with 'event'
    })
);

You can use listenGlobal that will give you access to document, body, etc.

renderer.listenGlobal('document', 'click', (event) => {
  // Do something with 'event'
});

Note that since beta.2 both listen and listenGlobal return a function to remove the listener (see breaking changes section from changelog for beta.2). This is to avoid memory leaks in big applications (see #6686).

So to remove the listener we added dynamically we must assign listen or listenGlobal to a variable that will hold the function returned, and then we execute it.

// listenFunc will hold the function returned by "renderer.listen"
listenFunc: Function;

// globalListenFunc will hold the function returned by "renderer.listenGlobal"
globalListenFunc: Function;

constructor(elementRef: ElementRef, renderer: Renderer) {
    
    // We cache the function "listen" returns
    this.listenFunc = renderer.listen(elementRef.nativeElement, 'click', (event) => {
        // Do something with 'event'
    });

    // We cache the function "listenGlobal" returns
    this.globalListenFunc = renderer.listenGlobal('document', 'click', (event) => {
        // Do something with 'event'
    });
}

ngOnDestroy() {
    // We execute both functions to remove the respectives listeners

    // Removes "listen" listener
    this.listenFunc();
    
    // Removs "listenGlobal" listener
    this.globalListenFunc();
}

Here's a plnkr with an example working. The example contains the usage of listen and listenGlobal.

Using RendererV2 with Angular 4.0.0-rc.1+ (Renderer2 since 4.0.0-rc.3)

  • 25/02/2017: Renderer has been deprecated, now we should use RendererV2 (see line below). See the commit.

  • 10/03/2017: RendererV2 was renamed to Renderer2. See the breaking changes.

RendererV2 has no more listenGlobal function for global events (document, body, window). It only has a listen function which achieves both functionalities.

For reference, I'm copy & pasting the source code of the DOM Renderer implementation since it may change (yes, it's angular!).

listen(target: 'window'|'document'|'body'|any, event: string, callback: (event: any) => boolean):
      () => void {
    if (typeof target === 'string') {
      return <() => void>this.eventManager.addGlobalEventListener(
          target, event, decoratePreventDefault(callback));
    }
    return <() => void>this.eventManager.addEventListener(
               target, event, decoratePreventDefault(callback)) as() => void;
  }

As you can see, now it verifies if we're passing a string (document, body or window), in which case it will use an internal addGlobalEventListener function. In any other case, when we pass an element (nativeElement) it will use a simple addEventListener

To remove the listener it's the same as it was with Renderer in angular 2.x. listen returns a function, then call that function.

Example

// Add listeners
let global = this.renderer.listen('document', 'click', (evt) => {
  console.log('Clicking the document', evt);
})

let simple = this.renderer.listen(this.myButton.nativeElement, 'click', (evt) => {
  console.log('Clicking the button', evt);
});

// Remove listeners
global();
simple();

What does ** (double star/asterisk) and * (star/asterisk) do for parameters?

This example would help you remember *args, **kwargs and even super and inheritance in Python at once.

class base(object):
    def __init__(self, base_param):
        self.base_param = base_param


class child1(base): # inherited from base class
    def __init__(self, child_param, *args) # *args for non-keyword args
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child1, self).__init__(*args) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a NON-KEYWORD arg

class child2(base):
    def __init__(self, child_param, **kwargs):
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child2, self).__init__(**kwargs) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a KEYWORD arg

c1 = child1(1,0)
c2 = child2(1,base_param=0)
print c1.base_param # 0
print c1.child_param # 1
print c2.base_param # 0
print c2.child_param # 1

jQuery date formatting

An alternative would be simple js date() function, if you don't want to use jQuery/jQuery plugin:

e.g.:

var formattedDate = new Date("yourUnformattedOriginalDate");
var d = formattedDate.getDate();
var m =  formattedDate.getMonth();
m += 1;  // JavaScript months are 0-11
var y = formattedDate.getFullYear();

$("#txtDate").val(d + "." + m + "." + y);

see: 10 ways to format time and date using JavaScript

If you want to add leading zeros to day/month, this is a perfect example: Javascript add leading zeroes to date

and if you want to add time with leading zeros try this: getMinutes() 0-9 - how to with two numbers?

PHP CURL & HTTPS

Quick fix, add this in your options:

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false)

Now you have no idea what host you're actually connecting to, because cURL will not verify the certificate in any way. Hope you enjoy man-in-the-middle attacks!

Or just add it to your current function:

/**
 * Get a web file (HTML, XHTML, XML, image, etc.) from a URL.  Return an
 * array containing the HTTP server response header fields and content.
 */
function get_web_page( $url )
{
    $options = array(
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,     // return web page
        CURLOPT_HEADER         => false,    // don't return headers
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,     // follow redirects
        CURLOPT_ENCODING       => "",       // handle all encodings
        CURLOPT_USERAGENT      => "spider", // who am i
        CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER    => true,     // set referer on redirect
        CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,      // timeout on connect
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 120,      // timeout on response
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS      => 10,       // stop after 10 redirects
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false     // Disabled SSL Cert checks
    );

    $ch      = curl_init( $url );
    curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
    $content = curl_exec( $ch );
    $err     = curl_errno( $ch );
    $errmsg  = curl_error( $ch );

How to hide first section header in UITableView (grouped style)

Swift3 : heightForHeaderInSection works with 0, you just have to make sure header is set to clipsToBounds.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
       return 0
}

if you don't set clipsToBounds hidden header will be visible when scrolling.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplayHeaderView view: UIView, forSection section: Int) {
    guard let header = view as? UITableViewHeaderFooterView else { return }

    header.clipsToBounds = true
}

Change Primary Key

Assuming that your table name is city and your existing Primary Key is pk_city, you should be able to do the following:

ALTER TABLE city
DROP CONSTRAINT pk_city;

ALTER TABLE city
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_city PRIMARY KEY (city_id, buildtime, time);

Make sure that there are no records where time is NULL, otherwise you won't be able to re-create the constraint.

Visual Studio popup: "the operation could not be completed"

For me, this issue was being caused by conflicting <site> configurations in the following file.

C:\Users\smunro\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

I edited this file to remove all of the site elements within the following element. You might want to be a little more selective and try to identify the site that is causing the conflict and remove just that.

<configuration><system.applicationHost><sites>

Note that I left the <siteDefaults>, <applicationDefaults> and <virtualDirectoryDefaults> elements there.

When I reloaded the project, a new <site> element was created automatically.

The window.menuBarVisibility setting for the application menu visibility has been updated to better reflect the options. Two primary changes have been made.

First, the default option for the setting has been renamed to classic.

Second, the Show Menu Bar entry in the the application menu bar now toggles between the classic and compact options. To hide it completely, you can update the setting, or use the context menu of the Activity Bar when in compact mode.

Check whether variable is number or string in JavaScript

Created a jsperf on the checking if a variable is a number. Quite interesting! typeof actually has a performance use. Using typeof for anything other than numbers, generally goes a 1/3rd the speed as a variable.constructor since the majority of data types in javascript are Objects; numbers are not!

http://jsperf.com/jemiloii-fastest-method-to-check-if-type-is-a-number

typeof variable === 'number'| fastest | if you want a number, such as 5, and not '5'
typeof parseFloat(variable) === 'number'| fastest | if you want a number, such as 5, and '5'

isNaN() is slower, but not that much slower. I had high hopes for parseInt and parseFloat, however they were horribly slower.

All comparison operators except the containment operators (-contains, -notcontains) and type operators (-is, -isnot) return a Boolean value when the input to the operator (the value on the left side of the operator) is a single value (a scalar). When the input is a collection of values, the containment operators and the type operators return any matching values. If there are no matches in a collection, these operators do not return anything. The containment operators and type operators always return a Boolean value.

JPA: difference between @JoinColumn and @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn?

What happens if I promote the column to be a/the PK, too (a.k.a. identifying relationship)? As the column is now the PK, I must tag it with @Id (...).

This enhanced support of derived identifiers is actually part of the new stuff in JPA 2.0 (see the section 2.4.1 Primary Keys Corresponding to Derived Identities in the JPA 2.0 specification), JPA 1.0 doesn't allow Id on a OneToOne or ManyToOne. With JPA 1.0, you'd have to use PrimaryKeyJoinColumn and also define a Basic Id mapping for the foreign key column.

Now the question is: are @Id + @JoinColumn the same as just @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn?

You can obtain a similar result but using an Id on OneToOne or ManyToOne is much simpler and is the preferred way to map derived identifiers with JPA 2.0. PrimaryKeyJoinColumn might still be used in a JOINED inheritance strategy. Below the relevant section from the JPA 2.0 specification:

11.1.40 PrimaryKeyJoinColumn Annotation

The PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation specifies a primary key column that is used as a foreign key to join to another table.

The PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation is used to join the primary table of an entity subclass in the JOINED mapping strategy to the primary table of its superclass; it is used within a SecondaryTable annotation to join a secondary table to a primary table; and it may be used in a OneToOne mapping in which the primary key of the referencing entity is used as a foreign key to the referenced entity[108].

...

If no PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation is specified for a subclass in the JOINED mapping strategy, the foreign key columns are assumed to have the same names as the primary key columns of the primary table of the superclass.

...

Example: Customer and ValuedCustomer subclass

@Entity
@Table(name="CUST")
@Inheritance(strategy=JOINED)
@DiscriminatorValue("CUST")
public class Customer { ... }

@Entity
@Table(name="VCUST")
@DiscriminatorValue("VCUST")
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="CUST_ID")
public class ValuedCustomer extends Customer { ... }

[108] The derived id mechanisms described in section 2.4.1.1 are now to be preferred over PrimaryKeyJoinColumn for the OneToOne mapping case.

This source http://weblogs.java.net/blog/felipegaucho/archive/2009/10/24/jpa-join-table-additional-state states that using @ManyToOne and @Id works with JPA 1.x. Who's correct now?

The author is using a pre release JPA 2.0 compliant version of EclipseLink (version 2.0.0-M7 at the time of the article) to write an article about JPA 1.0(!). This article is misleading, the author is using something that is NOT part of JPA 1.0.

For the record, support of Id on OneToOne and ManyToOne has been added in EclipseLink 1.1 (see this message from James Sutherland, EclipseLink comitter and main contributor of the Java Persistence wiki book). But let me insist, this is NOT part of JPA 1.0.

SimpleDateFormat and locale based format string

Converting Integer to String with comma for thousands

Use the %d format specifier with a comma: %,d

This is by far the easiest way.

Remove Last Comma from a string

The greatly upvoted answer removes not only the final comma, but also any spaces that follow. But removing those following spaces was not what was part of the original problem. So:

let str = 'abc,def,ghi, ';
let str2 = str.replace(/,(?=\s*$)/, '');
alert("'" + str2 + "'");
'abc,def,ghi '

How to access private data members outside the class without making "friend"s?

You can't. That member is private, it's not visible outside the class. That's the whole point of the public/protected/private modifiers.

(You could probably use dirty pointer tricks though, but my guess is that you'd enter undefined behavior territory pretty fast.)

Event binding on dynamically created elements?

I prefer using the selector and I apply it on the document.

This binds itself on the document and will be applicable to the elements that will be rendered after page load.

For example:

SOAP request to WebService with java

A SOAP request is an XML file consisting of the parameters you are sending to the server.

The SOAP response is equally an XML file, but now with everything the service wants to give you.

Basically the WSDL is a XML file that explains the structure of those two XML.


To implement simple SOAP clients in Java, you can use the SAAJ framework (it is shipped with JSE 1.6 and above):

SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) is mainly used for dealing directly with SOAP Request/Response messages which happens behind the scenes in any Web Service API. It allows the developers to directly send and receive soap messages instead of using JAX-WS.

See below a working example (run it!) of a SOAP web service call using SAAJ. It calls this web service.

import javax.xml.soap.*;

public class SOAPClientSAAJ {

    // SAAJ - SOAP Client Testing
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        /*
            The example below requests from the Web Service at:
             http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?op=GetInfoByCity


            To call other WS, change the parameters below, which are:
             - the SOAP Endpoint URL (that is, where the service is responding from)
             - the SOAP Action

            Also change the contents of the method createSoapEnvelope() in this class. It constructs
             the inner part of the SOAP envelope that is actually sent.
         */
        String soapEndpointUrl = "http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx";
        String soapAction = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetInfoByCity";

        callSoapWebService(soapEndpointUrl, soapAction);
    }

    private static void createSoapEnvelope(SOAPMessage soapMessage) throws SOAPException {
        SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();

        String myNamespace = "myNamespace";
        String myNamespaceURI = "http://www.webserviceX.NET";

        // SOAP Envelope
        SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
        envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration(myNamespace, myNamespaceURI);

            /*
            Constructed SOAP Request Message:

        // SOAP Body
        SOAPBody soapBody = envelope.getBody();
        SOAPElement soapBodyElem = soapBody.addChildElement("GetInfoByCity", myNamespace);
        SOAPElement soapBodyElem1 = soapBodyElem.addChildElement("USCity", myNamespace);
        soapBodyElem1.addTextNode("New York");
    }

    private static void callSoapWebService(String soapEndpointUrl, String soapAction) {
        try {
            // Create SOAP Connection
            SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
            SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();

            // Send SOAP Message to SOAP Server
            SOAPMessage soapResponse = soapConnection.call(createSOAPRequest(soapAction), soapEndpointUrl);

            // Print the SOAP Response
            System.out.println("Response SOAP Message:");
            soapResponse.writeTo(System.out);
            System.out.println();

            soapConnection.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("\nError occurred while sending SOAP Request to Server!\nMake sure you have the correct endpoint URL and SOAPAction!\n");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest(String soapAction) throws Exception {
        MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
        SOAPMessage soapMessage = messageFactory.createMessage();

        createSoapEnvelope(soapMessage);

        MimeHeaders headers = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
        headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", soapAction);

        soapMessage.saveChanges();

        /* Print the request message, just for debugging purposes */
        System.out.println("Request SOAP Message:");

Checkout multiple git repos into same Jenkins workspace

Checking out more than one repo at a time in a single workspace is possible with Jenkins + Git Plugin (maybe only in more recent versions?).

In section "Source-Code-Management", do not select "Git", but "Multiple SCMs" and add several git repositories.

Be sure that in all but one you add as an "Additional behavior" the action "Check out to a sub-directory" and specify an individual subdirectory.

MySQL - SELECT WHERE field IN (subquery) - Extremely slow why?

Rewrite the query into this

SELECT st1.*, st2.relevant_field FROM sometable st1
INNER JOIN sometable st2 ON (st1.relevant_field = st2.relevant_field)
GROUP BY st1.id  /* list a unique sometable field here*/
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1

I think st2.relevant_field must be in the select, because otherwise the having clause will give an error, but I'm not 100% sure

Never use IN with a subquery; this is notoriously slow.
Only ever use IN with a fixed list of values.

More tips

  1. If you want to make queries faster, don't do a SELECT * only select the fields that you really need.
  2. Make sure you have an index on relevant_field to speed up the equi-join.
  3. Make sure to group by on the primary key.
  4. If you are on InnoDB and you only select indexed fields (and things are not too complex) than MySQL will resolve your query using only the indexes, speeding things way up.

General solution for 90% of your IN (select queries

Use this code

SELECT * FROM sometable a WHERE EXISTS (
  SELECT 1 FROM sometable b
  WHERE a.relevant_field = b.relevant_field
  GROUP BY b.relevant_field
  HAVING count(*) > 1) 

Initializing multiple variables to the same value in Java

You can declare multiple variables, and initialize multiple variables, but not both at the same time:

 String one,two,three;
 one = two = three = "";

However, this kind of thing (especially the multiple assignments) would be frowned upon by most Java developers, who would consider it the opposite of "visually simple".

Calling pylab.savefig without display in ipython

This is a matplotlib question, and you can get around this by using a backend that doesn't display to the user, e.g. 'Agg':

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.savefig('/tmp/test.png')

EDIT: If you don't want to lose the ability to display plots, turn off Interactive Mode, and only call plt.show() when you are ready to display the plots:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Turn interactive plotting off
plt.ioff()

# Create a new figure, plot into it, then close it so it never gets displayed
fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.savefig('/tmp/test0.png')
plt.close(fig)

# Create a new figure, plot into it, then don't close it so it does get displayed
plt.figure()
plt.plot([1,3,2])
plt.savefig('/tmp/test1.png')

# Display all "open" (non-closed) figures
plt.show()

How to make certain text not selectable with CSS

The CSS below stops users from being able to select text.

user-select: none; /* Standard */

To target IE9 downwards the html attribute unselectable must be used instead:

<p unselectable="on">Test Text</p>

Check if a string contains a number

import string
import random
n = 10

p = ''

while (string.ascii_uppercase not in p) and (string.ascii_lowercase not in p) and (string.digits not in p):
    for _ in range(n):
        state = random.randint(0, 2)
        if state == 0:
            p = p + chr(random.randint(97, 122))
        elif state == 1:
            p = p + chr(random.randint(65, 90))
        else:
            p = p + str(random.randint(0, 9))
    break
print(p)

This code generates a sequence with size n which at least contain an uppercase, lowercase, and a digit. By using the while loop, we have guaranteed this event.

Python Pandas: Get index of rows which column matches certain value

df.iloc[i] returns the ith row of df. i does not refer to the index label, i is a 0-based index.

In contrast, the attribute index returns actual index labels, not numeric row-indices:

df.index[df['BoolCol'] == True].tolist()

or equivalently,

df.index[df['BoolCol']].tolist()

You can see the difference quite clearly by playing with a DataFrame with a non-default index that does not equal to the row's numerical position:

df = pd.DataFrame({'BoolCol': [True, False, False, True, True]},
       index=[10,20,30,40,50])

In [53]: df
Out[53]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
20   False
30   False
40    True
50    True

[5 rows x 1 columns]

In [54]: df.index[df['BoolCol']].tolist()
Out[54]: [10, 40, 50]

If you want to use the index,

In [56]: idx = df.index[df['BoolCol']]

In [57]: idx
Out[57]: Int64Index([10, 40, 50], dtype='int64')

then you can select the rows using loc instead of iloc:

In [58]: df.loc[idx]
Out[58]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

[3 rows x 1 columns]

Note that loc can also accept boolean arrays:

In [55]: df.loc[df['BoolCol']]
Out[55]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

[3 rows x 1 columns]

If you have a boolean array, mask, and need ordinal index values, you can compute them using np.flatnonzero:

In [110]: np.flatnonzero(df['BoolCol'])
Out[112]: array([0, 3, 4])

Use df.iloc to select rows by ordinal index:

In [113]: df.iloc[np.flatnonzero(df['BoolCol'])]
Out[113]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

Calling one method from another within same class in Python

To accessing member functions or variables from one scope to another scope (In your case one method to another method we need to refer method or variable with class object. and you can do it by referring with self keyword which refer as class object.

class YourClass():

    def your_function(self, *args):

        self.callable_function(param) # if you need to pass any parameter

    def callable_function(self, *params): 
        print('Your param:', param)

Password encryption at client side

This won't be secure, and it's simple to explain why:

If you hash the password on the client side and use that token instead of the password, then an attacker will be unlikely to find out what the password is.

But, the attacker doesn't need to find out what the password is, because your server isn't expecting the password any more - it's expecting the token. And the attacker does know the token because it's being sent over unencrypted HTTP!

Now, it might be possible to hack together some kind of challenge/response form of encryption which means that the same password will produce a different token each request. However, this will require that the password is stored in a decryptable format on the server, something which isn't ideal, but might be a suitable compromise.

JavaScript: Is there a way to get Chrome to break on all errors?

Edit: The original link I answered with is now invalid.The newer URL would be https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/javascript/add-breakpoints#exceptions as of 2016-11-11.

I realize this question has an answer, but it's no longer accurate. Use the link above ^


(link replaced by edited above) - you can now set it to break on all exceptions or just unhandled ones. (Note that you need to be in the Sources tab to see the button.)

Chrome's also added some other really useful breakpoint capabilities now, such as breaking on DOM changes or network events.

Normally I wouldn't re-answer a question, but I had the same question myself, and I found this now-wrong answer, so I figured I'd put this information in here for people who came along later in searching. :)

Copy all the lines to clipboard

Well, all of these approaches are interesting, however as lazy programmer I use yank all line by using combination of number + y

for example you have source code file with total of 78 lines, you can do as below:

  1. gg to get cursor at first line
  2. insert 78 + y --> it yanks 78 lines below your cursor and current line

find path of current folder - cmd

2015-03-30: Edited - Missing information has been added

To retrieve the current directory you can use the dynamic %cd% variable that holds the current active directory

set "curpath=%cd%"

This generates a value with a ending backslash for the root directory, and without a backslash for the rest of directories. You can force and ending backslash for any directory with

for %%a in ("%cd%\") do set "curpath=%%~fa"

Or you can use another dynamic variable: %__CD__% that will return the current active directory with an ending backslash.

Also, remember the %cd% variable can have a value directly assigned. In this case, the value returned will not be the current directory, but the assigned value. You can prevent this with a reference to the current directory

for %%a in (".\") do set "curpath=%%~fa"

Up to windows XP, the %__CD__% variable has the same behaviour. It can be overwritten by the user, but at least from windows 7 (i can't test it on Vista), any change to the %__CD__% is allowed but when the variable is read, the changed value is ignored and the correct current active directory is retrieved (note: the changed value is still visible using the set command).

BUT all the previous codes will return the current active directory, not the directory where the batch file is stored.

set "curpath=%~dp0"

It will return the directory where the batch file is stored, with an ending backslash.

BUT this will fail if in the batch file the shift command has been used

shift
echo %~dp0

As the arguments to the batch file has been shifted, the %0 reference to the current batch file is lost.

To prevent this, you can retrieve the reference to the batch file before any shifting, or change the syntax to shift /1 to ensure the shift operation will start at the first argument, not affecting the reference to the batch file. If you can not use any of this options, you can retrieve the reference to the current batch file in a call to a subroutine

@echo off
    setlocal enableextensions

    rem Destroy batch file reference
    shift
    echo batch folder is "%~dp0"

    rem Call the subroutine to get the batch folder 
    call :getBatchFolder batchFolder
    echo batch folder is "%batchFolder%"

    exit /b

:getBatchFolder returnVar
    set "%~1=%~dp0" & exit /b

This approach can also be necessary if when invoked the batch file name is quoted and a full reference is not used (read here).

    return $(this).css("display") === "block";
    }).find('.ui-dialog-content').dialog('close');
});

(Only works for modal dialogs, as it relies on '.ui-widget-overlay'. And it does close all open dialogs any time the background of one of them is clicked.)

Update a dataframe in pandas while iterating row by row

You can assign values in the loop using df.set_value:

for i, row in df.iterrows():
    ifor_val = something
    if <condition>:
        ifor_val = something_else
    df.set_value(i,'ifor',ifor_val)

If you don't need the row values you could simply iterate over the indices of df, but I kept the original for-loop in case you need the row value for something not shown here.

update

df.set_value() has been deprecated since version 0.21.0 you can use df.at() instead:

for i, row in df.iterrows():
    ifor_val = something
    if <condition>:
        ifor_val = something_else
    df.at[i,'ifor'] = ifor_val

How to specify the actual x axis values to plot as x axis ticks in R

Take a closer look at the ?axis documentation. If you look at the description of the labels argument, you'll see that it is:

"a logical value specifying whether (numerical) annotations are 
to be made at the tickmarks,"

So, just change it to true, and you'll get your tick labels.

x <- seq(10,200,10)
y <- runif(x)
plot(x,y,xaxt='n')
axis(side = 1, at = x,labels = T)
# Since TRUE is the default for labels, you can just use axis(side=1,at=x)

Be careful that if you don't stretch your window width, then R might not be able to write all your labels in. Play with the window width and you'll see what I mean.


It's too bad that you had such trouble finding documentation! What were your search terms? Try typing r axis into Google, and the first link you will get is that Quick R page that I mentioned earlier. Scroll down to "Axes", and you'll get a very nice little guide on how to do it. You should probably check there first for any plotting questions, it will be faster than waiting for a SO reply.

Best way to work with dates in Android SQLite

I prefer this. This is not the best way, but a fast solution.

//Building the table includes:
StringBuilder query= new StringBuilder();
query.append("CREATE TABLE "+TABLE_NAME+ " (");
query.append(COLUMN_ID+"int primary key autoincrement,");
query.append(COLUMN_CREATION_DATE+" DATE)");

//Inserting the data includes this:
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
values.put(COLUMN_CREATION_DATE,dateFormat.format(reactionGame.getCreationDate())); 

// Fetching the data includes this:
try {
   java.util.Date creationDate = dateFormat.parse(cursor.getString(0);
   YourObject.setCreationDate(creationDate));
} catch (Exception e) {
   YourObject.setCreationDate(null);
}

<select> HTML element with height

I've used a few CSS hacks and targeted Chrome/Safari/Firefox/IE individually, as each browser renders selects a bit differently. I've tested on all browsers except IE.

For Safari/Chrome, set the height and line-height you want for your <select />.

For Firefox, we're going to kill Firefox's default padding and border, then set our own. Set padding to whatever you like.

For IE 8+, just like Chrome, we've set the height and line-height properties. These two media queries can be combined. But I kept it separate for demo purposes. So you can see what I'm doing.

Please note, for the height/line-height property to work in Chrome/Safari OSX, you must set the background to a custom value. I changed the color in my example.

Here's a jsFiddle of the below: http://jsfiddle.net/URgCB/4/

For the non-hack route, why not use a custom select plug-in via jQuery? Check out this: http://codepen.io/wallaceerick/pen/ctsCz

HTML:

<select>
    <option>Here's one option</option>
    <option>here's another option</option>
</select>

CSS:

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {  /*safari and chrome*/
    select {
        height:30px;
        line-height:30px;
        background:#f4f4f4;
    } 
}
select::-moz-focus-inner { /*Remove button padding in FF*/ 
    border: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
@-moz-document url-prefix() { /* targets Firefox only */
    select {
        padding: 15px 0!important;
    }
}        
@media screen\0 { /* IE Hacks: targets IE 8, 9 and 10 */        
    select {
        height:30px;
        line-height:30px;
    }     
}

How can I make a div not larger than its contents?

What works for me is:

Removing elements by class name?

It's very simple, one-liner, using ES6 spread operator due document.getElementByClassName returns a HTML collection.

Using jQuery Fancybox or Lightbox to display a contact form

Greybox cannot handle forms inside it on its own. It requires a forms plugin. No iframes or external html files needed. Don't forget to download the greybox.css file too as the page misses that bit out.

Kiss Jquery UI goodbye and a lightbox hello. You can get it here.

Hook up Raspberry Pi via Ethernet to laptop without router?

You don't need a cross-over cable. You can use a normal network cable since the Raspberry Pi LAN chip is smart enough to reconfigure itself for direct network connections. Cheers

ASP.NET IIS Web.config [Internal Server Error]

J2ME/Android/BlackBerry - driving directions, route between two locations

J2ME Map Route Provider

maps.google.com has a navigation service which can provide you route information in KML format.

To get kml file we need to form url with start and destination locations:

public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
                            double toLat, double toLon) {// connect to map web service
    StringBuffer urlString = new StringBuffer();
    urlString.append("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en");
    urlString.append("&saddr=");// from
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLon));
    urlString.append("&daddr=");// to
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLon));
    urlString.append("&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=kml");
    return urlString.toString();
}

Next you will need to parse xml (implemented with SAXParser) and fill data structures:

public class Point {
    String mName;
    String mDescription;
    String mIconUrl;
    double mLatitude;
    double mLongitude;
}

public class Road {
    public String mName;
    public String mDescription;
    public int mColor;
    public int mWidth;
    public double[][] mRoute = new double[][] {};
    public Point[] mPoints = new Point[] {};
}

Network connection is implemented in different ways on Android and Blackberry, so you will have to first form url:

 public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
     double toLat, double toLon)

then create connection with this url and get InputStream.
Then pass this InputStream and get parsed data structure:

 public static Road getRoute(InputStream is)

How to make a custom LinkedIn share button

LinkedIn has updated their api and the sharing url's no longer works. Now you can only use the url query parameter. Any other parameter is going to be removed from the url by LinkedIn.

Now you're forced to use oAuth and interact with the linkedin API to share content on behalf of a user.

Python None comparison: should I use "is" or ==?

Summary:

Use is when you want to check against an object's identity (e.g. checking to see if var is None). Use == when you want to check equality (e.g. Is var equal to 3?).

Explanation:

You can have custom classes where my_var == None will return True

e.g:

class Negator(object):
    def __eq__(self,other):
        return not other

thing = Negator()
print thing == None    #True
print thing is None    #False

is checks for object identity. There is only 1 object None, so when you do my_var is None, you're checking whether they actually are the same object (not just equivalent objects)

In other words, == is a check for equivalence (which is defined from object to object) whereas is checks for object identity:

lst = [1,2,3]
lst == lst[:]  # This is True since the lists are "equivalent"
lst is lst[:]  # This is False since they're actually different objects

CSS-moving text from left to right

I like using the following to prevent things being outside my div elements. It helps with CSS rollovers too.

.marquee{
    overflow:hidden;
}

this will hide anything that moves/is outside of the div which will prevent the browser expanding and causing a scroll bar to appear.

How can I change the default credentials used to connect to Visual Studio Online (TFSPreview) when loading Visual Studio up?

i found another solution:

  1. start session in TEAM
  2. go to SOURCE CONTROL and select WORKSPACE (mark in red)
  3. then Add new Workspace... why?
  4. because you dont work in the same workspace whey you change your account in TFS (i dont know why)
  5. and ready to MAP your project again.

Its 100% guaranteed to work.

How to print last two columns using awk

How to search contents of multiple pdf files?

First convert all your pdf files to text files:

DOUBLE vs DECIMAL in MySQL

"are there any issue we should expect from only storing and retreiving a money amount in a DOUBLE column ?"

It sounds like no rounding errors can be produced in your scenario and if there were, they would be truncated by the conversion to BigDecimal.

So I would say no.

However, there is no guarantee that some change in the future will not introduce a problem.

What's the difference between <mvc:annotation-driven /> and <context:annotation-config /> in servlet?

<context:annotation-config> declares support for general annotations such as @Required, @Autowired, @PostConstruct, and so on.

<mvc:annotation-driven /> declares explicit support for annotation-driven MVC controllers (i.e. @RequestMapping, @Controller, although support for those is the default behaviour), as well as adding support for declarative validation via @Valid and message body marshalling with @RequestBody/ResponseBody.

How do I add the Java API documentation to Eclipse?

  1. Go to your JDK installation. (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66 for me).

  2. Unzip the src.zip file (becomes C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\src\ for me).

  3. In the Eclipse editor window: CTRL + Click on a java.lang library class. (something like String).

  4. Eclipse will complain Source not found and tell you that you don't have the source.

  5. Click Attach source -> External Location -> External Folder.

  6. Find your source folder (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\src\ for me).

  7. Click OK -> OK.

  8. Enjoy.

how to run two commands in sudo?

On a slightly-related topic, I wanted to do the same multi-command sudo via SSH but none of the above worked.

For example on Ubuntu,

$ ssh host.name sudo sh -c "whoami; whoami"
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
root
ubuntu

The trick discovered here is to double-quote the command.

$ ssh host.name sudo sh -c '"whoami; whoami"'
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
root
root

Other options that also work:

ssh host.name sudo sh -c "\"whoami; whoami\""
ssh host.name 'sudo sh -c "whoami; whoami"'

In principle, double-quotes are needed because I think the client shell where SSH is run strips the outermost set of quotes. Mix and match the quotes to your needs (eg. variables need to be passed in). However YMMV with the quotes especially if the remote commands are complex. In that case, a tool like Ansible will make a better choice.

Unfortunately Launcher3 has stopped working error in android studio?

  1. Press the Apps menu button on your Android mobile phone device. It will display icons of all the apps installed on your mobile phone device. Press Settings.

  2. Press Apps. (Pressing on Apps button will list down all the apps installed on your mobile phone.

  3. Browse the Apps list and press on the app called "Launcher 3". (Launcher 3 is an app and it will be listed in the App list whenever you access Settings > Apps in your android phone).

  4. Pressing on the "Launcher 3" app will open the "App info screen" which will show some details pertaining to that app. On this App info screen, you will find buttons like "Force Stop", "Uninstall", "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache" etc.

  5. In Android Marshmallow (i.e. Android 6.0) choose Settings > Apps > Launcher3 > STORAGE. Press "Clear Cache". If this fails, press "Clear data". This will eventually restore functionality, but all custom shortcuts will be lost.

Restart the phone and its done. All the home screens along with app shortcuts will appear again and your mobile phone is at your service again.

I hope it explains well on how to solve the launcher problem in Android. Worked for me.

How to identify a strong vs weak relationship on ERD?

  1. Weak (Non-Identifying) Relationship

    • Entity is existence-independent of other enties

    • PK of Child doesn’t contain PK component of Parent Entity

  2. Strong (Identifying) Relationship

    • Child entity is existence-dependent on parent

    • PK of Child Entity contains PK component of Parent Entity

    • Usually occurs utilizing a composite key for primary key, which means one of this composite key components must be the primary key of the parent entity.

MySQL with Node.js

Imo, you should try MySQL Connector/Node.js which is the official Node.js driver for MySQL. See ref-1 and ref-2 for detailed explanation. I have tried mysqljs/mysql which is available here, but I don't find detailed documentation on classes, methods, properties of this library.

So I switched to the standard MySQL Connector/Node.js with X DevAPI, since it is an asynchronous Promise-based client library and provides good documentation. Take a look at the following code snippet :

const mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi');
const rows = [];

mysqlx.getSession('mysqlx://localhost:33060')
.then(session => {
    const table = session.getSchema('testSchema').getTable('testTable');

    // The criteria is defined through the expression.
    return table.update().where('name = "bar"').set('age', 50)
        .execute()
        .then(() => {
            return table.select().orderBy('name ASC')
                .execute(row => rows.push(row));
        });
})
.then(() => {
    console.log(rows);
});

How do I declare a model class in my Angular 2 component using TypeScript?

my code is

    import { Component } from '@angular/core';

class model {
  username : string;
  password : string;
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})



export class AppComponent {

 username : string;
 password : string;
  usermodel = new model();

  login(){
  if(this.usermodel.username == "admin"){
    alert("hi");
  }else{
    alert("bye");
    this.usermodel.username = "";
  }    
  }
}

and the html goes like this :

<div class="login">
  Usernmae : <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="usermodel.username"/>
  Password : <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="usermodel.password"/>
  <input type="button" value="Click Me" (click)="login()" />
</div>

How to add parameters to an external data query in Excel which can't be displayed graphically?

If you have Excel 2007 you can write VBA to alter the connections (i.e. the external data queries) in a workbook and update the CommandText property. If you simply add ? where you want a parameter, then next time you refresh the data it'll prompt for the values for the connections! magic. When you look at the properties of the Connection the Parameters button will now be active and useable as normal.

E.g. I'd write a macro, step through it in the debugger, and make it set the CommandText appropriately. Once you've done this you can remove the macro - it's just a means to update the query.

Sub UpdateQuery
    Dim cn As WorkbookConnection
    Dim odbcCn As ODBCConnection, oledbCn As OLEDBConnection
    For Each cn In ThisWorkbook.Connections
        If cn.Type = xlConnectionTypeODBC Then
            Set odbcCn = cn.ODBCConnection

            ' If you do have multiple connections you would want to modify  
            ' the line below each time you run through the loop.
            odbcCn.CommandText = "select blah from someTable where blah like ?"

        ElseIf cn.Type = xlConnectionTypeOLEDB Then
            Set oledbCn = cn.OLEDBConnection
            oledbCn.CommandText = "select blah from someTable where blah like ?" 
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Is it possible to modify a string of char in C?

You could also use strdup:

   The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is a duplicate of the string  s.
   Memory for the new string is obtained with malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3).

For you example:

char *a = strdup("stack overflow");

The declared package does not match the expected package ""

I had have this sort situations when I copied classes from other packages/projects.

Menu->Project->Clean usually helps.

Padding In bootstrap

There are padding built into various classes.

For example:

A asp.net web forms app:

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkShowDeletedServers" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Text="Show Deleted" />

this code above would place the Text of "Show Deleted" too close to the checkbox to what I see at nice to look at.

However with bootstrap

<div class="checkbox-inline">
    <asp:CheckBox ID="chkShowDeletedServers" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Text="Show Deleted" />
</div>

This created the space, if you don't want the text bold, that class=checkbox

Bootstrap is very flexible, so in this case I don't need a hack, but sometimes you need to.

Can scrapy be used to scrape dynamic content from websites that are using AJAX?

Many times when crawling we run into problems where content that is rendered on the page is generated with Javascript and therefore scrapy is unable to crawl for it (eg. ajax requests, jQuery craziness).

However, if you use Scrapy along with the web testing framework Selenium then we are able to crawl anything displayed in a normal web browser.

Some things to note:

  • You must have the Python version of Selenium RC installed for this to work, and you must have set up Selenium properly. Also this is just a template crawler. You could get much crazier and more advanced with things but I just wanted to show the basic idea. As the code stands now you will be doing two requests for any given url. One request is made by Scrapy and the other is made by Selenium. I am sure there are ways around this so that you could possibly just make Selenium do the one and only request but I did not bother to implement that and by doing two requests you get to crawl the page with Scrapy too.

  • This is quite powerful because now you have the entire rendered DOM available for you to crawl and you can still use all the nice crawling features in Scrapy. This will make for slower crawling of course but depending on how much you need the rendered DOM it might be worth the wait.

            item = Item()
    
            hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
            #Do some XPath selection with Scrapy
            hxs.select('//div').extract()
    
            sel = self.selenium
            sel.open(response.url)
    
            #Wait for javscript to load in Selenium
            time.sleep(2.5)
    
            #Do some crawling of javascript created content with Selenium
            sel.get_text("//div")
            yield item

Java: get greatest common divisor

Unless I have Guava, I define like this:

int gcd(int a, int b) {
  return a == 0 ? b : gcd(b % a, a);
}

How do I get the last word in each line with bash

Try

$ awk 'NF>1{print $NF}' file
example.
line.
file.

To get the result in one line as in your example, try:

{
    sub(/\./, ",", $NF)
    str = str$NF
}
END { print str }

output:

$ awk -f script.awk file
example, line, file, 

Pure bash:

$ while read line; do [ -z "$line" ] && continue ;echo ${line##* }; done < file
example.
line.
file.

WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install

I have tried all the above answers but still the same error was throwing up. Later I found this in WAMP Forum and finally my WAMP works !!!

If you are using WampServer 2.5 on a 64bit Windows You will need both the 32bit and 64bit versions of this runtime.
