Center form submit buttons HTML / CSS

One simple solution if only one button needs to be centered is something like:

<input type='submit' style='display:flex; justify-content:center;' value='Submit'>

You can use a similar style to handle several buttons.

I came across the same problem using a Wordpress page and plugin. This didn't work for the iframe plugin

[iframe src="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/witch-hunt/id896152730#?platform=iphone"]

but this does:

[iframe src="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/witch-hunt/id896152730"  width="100%" height="480" ]

As you see, I just left off the #?platform=iphone part in the end.

What is the effect of extern "C" in C++?

extern "C" is a linkage specification which is used to call C functions in the Cpp source files. We can call C functions, write Variables, & include headers. Function is declared in extern entity & it is defined outside. Syntax is

Type 1:

extern "language" function-prototype

Type 2:

extern "language"
{
     function-prototype
};

eg:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

extern "C"
{
     #include<stdio.h>    // Include C Header
     int n;               // Declare a Variable
     void func(int,int);  // Declare a function (function prototype)
}

int main()
{
    func(int a, int b);   // Calling function . . .
    return 0;
}

// Function definition . . .
void func(int m, int n)
{
    //
    //
}

How to determine when Fragment becomes visible in ViewPager

We have a special case with MVP where the fragment needs to notify the presenter that the view has become visible, and the presenter is injected by Dagger in fragment.onAttach().

setUserVisibleHint() is not enough, we've detected 3 different cases that needed to be addressed (onAttach() is mentioned so that you know when the presenter is available):

  1. Fragment has just been created. The system makes the following calls:

    setUserVisibleHint() // before fragment's lifecycle calls, so presenter is null
    onAttach()
    ...
    onResume()
    
  2. Fragment already created and home button is pressed. When restoring the app to foreground, this is called:

    onResume()
    
  3. Orientation change:

    onAttach() // presenter available
    onResume()
    setUserVisibleHint()
    

We only want the visibility hint to get to the presenter once, so this is how we do it:

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_list, container, false);
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);

    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        lastOrientation = savedInstanceState.getInt(STATE_LAST_ORIENTATION,
              getResources().getConfiguration().orientation);
    } else {
        lastOrientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
    }

    return root;
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    presenter.onResume();

    int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
    if (orientation == lastOrientation) {
        if (getUserVisibleHint()) {
            presenter.onViewBecomesVisible();
        }
    }
    lastOrientation = orientation;
}

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    if (presenter != null && isResumed() && isVisibleToUser) {
        presenter.onViewBecomesVisible();
    }
}

@Override public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    outState.putInt(STATE_LAST_ORIENTATION, lastOrientation);
}

How do I add more members to my ENUM-type column in MySQL?

Your code works for me. Here is my test case:

mysql> CREATE TABLE carmake (country ENUM('Canada', 'United States'));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE carmake;
+---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table   | Create Table                                                                                                            |
+---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| carmake | CREATE TABLE `carmake` (
  `country` enum('Canada','United States') default NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> ALTER TABLE carmake CHANGE country country ENUM('Sweden','Malaysia');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE carmake;
+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table   | Create Table                                                                                                       |
+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| carmake | CREATE TABLE `carmake` (
  `country` enum('Sweden','Malaysia') default NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

What error are you seeing?

FWIW this would also work:

ALTER TABLE carmake MODIFY COLUMN country ENUM('Sweden','Malaysia');

I would actually recommend a country table rather than enum column. You may have hundreds of countries which would make for a rather large and awkward enum.

EDIT: Now that I can see your error message:

ERROR 1265 (01000): Data truncated for column 'country' at row 1.

I suspect you have some values in your country column that do not appear in your ENUM. What is the output of the following command?

SELECT DISTINCT country FROM carmake;

ANOTHER EDIT: What is the output of the following command?

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';

Is it STRICT_TRANS_TABLES or STRICT_ALL_TABLES? That could lead to an error, rather than the usual warning MySQL would give you in this situation.

YET ANOTHER EDIT: Ok, I now see that you definitely have values in the table that are not in the new ENUM. The new ENUM definition only allows 'Sweden' and 'Malaysia'. The table has 'USA', 'India' and several others.

LAST EDIT (MAYBE): I think you're trying to do this:

ALTER TABLE carmake CHANGE country country ENUM('Italy', 'Germany', 'England', 'USA', 'France', 'South Korea', 'Australia', 'Spain', 'Czech Republic', 'Sweden', 'Malaysia') DEFAULT NULL;

How to make a shape with left-top round rounded corner and left-bottom rounded corner?

From the documentation:

NOTE: Every corner must (initially) be provided a corner radius greater than 1, or else no corners are rounded. If you want specific corners to not be rounded, a work-around is to use android:radius to set a default corner radius greater than 1, but then override each and every corner with the values you really want, providing zero ("0dp") where you don't want rounded corners.

E.g. you have to set an android:radius="<bigger than 1dp>" to be able to do what you want:

<corners 
    android:radius="2dp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="0dp" 
    android:topRightRadius="0dp"/> 

SQL Server - stop or break execution of a SQL script

The raiserror method

raiserror('Oh no a fatal error', 20, -1) with log

This will terminate the connection, thereby stopping the rest of the script from running.

Note that both severity level 20 or higher and the WITH LOG option are necessary for it to work this way.

This even works with GO statements, eg.

print 'hi'
go
raiserror('Oh no a fatal error', 20, -1) with log
go
print 'ho'

Will give you the output:

hi
Msg 2745, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Process ID 51 has raised user error 50000, severity 20. SQL Server is terminating this process.
Msg 50000, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Oh no a fatal error
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command.  The results, if any, should be discarded.

Notice that 'ho' is not printed.

CAVEATS:

  • This only works if you are logged in as admin ('sysadmin' role), and also leaves you with no database connection.
  • If you are NOT logged in as admin, the RAISEERROR() call itself will fail and the script will continue executing.
  • When invoked with sqlcmd.exe, exit code 2745 will be reported.

Reference: http://www.mydatabasesupport.com/forums/ms-sqlserver/174037-sql-server-2000-abort-whole-script.html#post761334

The noexec method

Another method that works with GO statements is set noexec on. This causes the rest of the script to be skipped over. It does not terminate the connection, but you need to turn noexec off again before any commands will execute.

Example:

print 'hi'
go

print 'Fatal error, script will not continue!'
set noexec on

print 'ho'
go

-- last line of the script
set noexec off -- Turn execution back on; only needed in SSMS, so as to be able 
               -- to run this script again in the same session.

Android setOnClickListener method - How does it work?

That what manual says about setOnClickListener method is:

public void setOnClickListener (View.OnClickListener l)

Added in API level 1 Register a callback to be invoked when this view is clicked. If this view is not clickable, it becomes clickable.

Parameters

l View.OnClickListener: The callback that will run

And normally you have to use it like this

public class ExampleActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedValues) {
        ...
        Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.corky);
        button.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    // Implement the OnClickListener callback
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // do something when the button is clicked
    }
    ...
}

Insert picture into Excel cell

You can add the image into a comment.

Right-click cell > Insert Comment > right-click on shaded (grey area) on outside of comment box > Format Comment > Colors and Lines > Fill > Color > Fill Effects > Picture > (Browse to picture) > Click OK

Image will appear on hover over.

Microsoft Office 365 (2019) introduced new things called comments and renamed the old comments as "notes". Therefore in the steps above do New Note instead of Insert Comment. All other steps remain the same and the functionality still exists.

ElasticSearch, Sphinx, Lucene, Solr, Xapian. Which fits for which usage?

My sphinx.conf

    sql_query_pre = SET NAMES utf8
    # query before fetching rows to index

    sql_query = SELECT *, id AS pid, CRC32(safetag) as safetag_crc32 FROM hb_posts


    sql_attr_uint = pid  
    # pid (as 'sql_attr_uint') is necessary for sphinx
    # this field must be unique

    # that is why I like sphinx
    # you can store custom string fields into indexes (memory) as well
    sql_field_string = title
    sql_field_string = slug
    sql_field_string = content
    sql_field_string = tags

    sql_attr_uint = category

    sql_attr_timestamp = date
    # timestamp fields must be defined as sql_attr_timestamp

    sql_query_info_pre = SET NAMES utf8
    # if you need unicode support for sql_field_string, you need to patch the source
    # this param. is not supported natively

    sql_query_info = SELECT * FROM my_posts WHERE id = $id

How can I enable auto complete support in Notepad++?

The link provided by Mark no longer works, but you can go to:

Notpad++ 6.6.9

  • Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion -> Enable auto-completion on each input.

I find it very annoying though, since a big autocomplete block is always coming up and I would just like to see autocomplete when I press tab or a key combination. I am fairly new to Notepad++ though. If you know of such a key combination, please feel free to reply. I found this question via Google, so we can always help others.enter image description here

MySQL SELECT WHERE datetime matches day (and not necessarily time)

NEVER EVER use a selector like DATE(datecolumns) = '2012-12-24' - it is a performance killer:

  • it will calculate DATE() for all rows, including those, that don't match
  • it will make it impossible to use an index for the query

It is much faster to use

SELECT * FROM tablename 
WHERE columname BETWEEN '2012-12-25 00:00:00' AND '2012-12-25 23:59:59'

as this will allow index use without calculation.

EDIT

As pointed out by Used_By_Already, in the time since the inital answer in 2012, there have emerged versions of MySQL, where using '23:59:59' as a day end is no longer safe. An updated version should read

SELECT * FROM tablename 
WHERE columname >='2012-12-25 00:00:00'
AND columname <'2012-12-26 00:00:00'

The gist of the answer, i.e. the avoidance of a selector on a calculated expression, of course still stands.

Want to show/hide div based on dropdown box selection

you have error in your code unexpected token.use:

  $('#purpose').on('change', function () {
   if (this.value == '1') {
    $("#business").show();
    } else {
    $("#business").hide();
   }

   });

Demo

Update: You can narrow down the code using .toggle()

 $('#purpose').on('change', function () {
   $("#business").toggle(this.value == '1');
 });

How to get info on sent PHP curl request

You can also use a proxy tool like Charles to capture the outgoing request headers, data, etc. by passing the proxy details through CURLOPT_PROXY to your curl_setopt_array method.

For example:

$proxy = '127.0.0.1:8888';
$opt = array (
    CURLOPT_URL => "http://www.example.com",
    CURLOPT_PROXY => $proxy,
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
    );

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $opt);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

How do you get the Git repository's name in some Git repository?

Here's mine:

git remote --verbose | grep origin | grep fetch | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1

no better than the others, but I made it a bash function so I can drop in the remote name if it isn't origin.

grurl () {
  xx_remote=$1
  [ -z "$xx_remote" ] && xx_remote=origin
  git remote --verbose | grep "$1" | grep fetch | cut -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1

SVG fill color transparency / alpha?

As a not yet fully standardized solution (though in alignment with the color syntax in CSS3) you can use e.g fill="rgba(124,240,10,0.5)". Works fine in Firefox, Opera, Chrome.

Here's an example.

Recover sa password

best answer written by Dmitri Korotkevitch:

Speaking of the installation, SQL Server 2008 allows you to set authentication mode (Windows or SQL Server) during the installation process. You will be forced to choose the strong password for sa user in the case if you choose sql server authentication mode during setup.

If you install SQL Server with Windows Authentication mode and want to change it, you need to do 2 different things:

  1. Go to SQL Server Properties/Security tab and change the mode to SQL Server authentication mode

  2. Go to security/logins, open SA login properties

a. Uncheck "Enforce password policy" and "Enforce password expiration" check box there if you decide to use weak password

b. Assign password to SA user

c. Open "Status" tab and enable login.

I don't need to mention that every action from above would violate security best practices that recommend to use windows authentication mode, have sa login disabled and use strong passwords especially for sa login.

Running Python in PowerShell?

Using CMD you can run your python scripts as long as the installed python is added to the path with the following line:

C: \ Python27;

The (27) is example referring to version 2.7, add as per your version.

Path to system path:

Control Panel => System and Security => System => Advanced Settings => Advanced => Environment Variables.

Under "User Variables," append the PATH variable to the path of the Python installation directory (As above).

Once this is done, you can open a CMD where your scripts are saved, or manually navigate through the CMD.

To run the script enter:

C: \ User \ X \ MyScripts> python ScriptName.py

How to change the font on the TextView?

It's a little old, but I improved the class CustomFontLoader a little bit and I wanted to share it so it can be helpfull. Just create a new class with this code.

 import android.content.Context;
 import android.graphics.Typeface;

public enum FontLoader {

ARIAL("arial"),
TIMES("times"),
VERDANA("verdana"),
TREBUCHET("trbuchet"),
GEORGIA("georgia"),
GENEVA("geneva"),
SANS("sans"),
COURIER("courier"),
TAHOMA("tahoma"),
LUCIDA("lucida");   


private final String name;
private Typeface typeFace;


private FontLoader(final String name) {
    this.name = name;

    typeFace=null;  
}

public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,String name){
    try {
        FontLoader item=FontLoader.valueOf(name.toUpperCase(Locale.getDefault()));
        if(item.typeFace==null){                
            item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");                 
        }           
        return item.typeFace;
    } catch (Exception e) {         
        return null;
    }                   
}
public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context,int id){
    FontLoader myArray[]= FontLoader.values();
    if(!(id<myArray.length)){           
        return null;
    } 
    try {
        if(myArray[id].typeFace==null){     
            myArray[id].typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+myArray[id].name+".ttf");                       
        }       
        return myArray[id].typeFace;    
    }catch (Exception e) {          
        return null;
    }   

}

public static Typeface getTypeFaceByName(Context context,String name){      
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(item.name)){
            if(item.typeFace==null){
                try{
                    item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
                }catch (Exception e) {          
                    return null;
                }   
            }
            return item.typeFace;
        }               
    }
    return null;
}   

public static void loadAllFonts(Context context){       
    for(FontLoader item: FontLoader.values()){              
        if(item.typeFace==null){
            try{
                item.typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/"+item.name+".ttf");     
            }catch (Exception e) {
                item.typeFace=null;
            }   
        }                
    }       
}   
}

Then just use this code on you textview:

 Typeface typeFace=FontLoader.getTypeFace(context,"arial");  
 if(typeFace!=null) myTextView.setTypeface(typeFace);

Eclipse HotKey: how to switch between tabs?

The default is Ctrl + F6. You can change it by going to Window preferences. I usually change it to Ctrl + Tab, the same we use in switching tabs in a browser and other stuff.

How to get client IP address using jQuery

jQuery can handle JSONP, just pass an url formatted with the callback=? parameter to the $.getJSON method, for example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$.getJSON("https://api.ipify.org/?format=json", function(e) {_x000D_
    console.log(e.ip);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This example is of a really simple JSONP service implemented on with api.ipify.org.

If you aren't looking for a cross-domain solution the script can be simplified even more, since you don't need the callback parameter, and you return pure JSON.

How to draw text using only OpenGL methods?

I think that the best solution for drawing text in OpenGL is texture fonts, I work with them for a long time. They are flexible, fast and nice looking (with some rear exceptions). I use special program for converting font files (.ttf for example) to texture, which is saved to file of some internal "font" format (I've developed format and program based on http://content.gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:Tutorials:Font_System though my version went rather far from the original supporting Unicode and so on). When starting the main app, fonts are loaded from this "internal" format. Look link above for more information.

With such approach the main app doesn't use any special libraries like FreeType, which is undesirable for me also. Text is being drawn using standard OpenGL functions.

How to access a dictionary element in a Django template?

To echo / extend upon Jeff's comment, what I think you should aim for is simply a property in your Choice class that calculates the number of votes associated with that object:

class Choice(models.Model):
    text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def calculateVotes(self):
        return Vote.objects.filter(choice=self).count()

    votes = property(calculateVotes)

And then in your template, you can do:

{% for choice in choices %}
    {{choice.choice}} - {{choice.votes}} <br />
{% endfor %}

The template tag, is IMHO a bit overkill for this solution, but it's not a terrible solution either. The goal of templates in Django is to insulate you from code in your templates and vice-versa.

I'd try the above method and see what SQL the ORM generates as I'm not sure off the top of my head if it will pre-cache the properties and just create a subselect for the property or if it will iteratively / on-demand run the query to calculate vote count. But if it generates atrocious queries, you could always populate the property in your view with data you've collected yourself.

How to print table using Javascript?

Here is your code in a jsfiddle example. I have tested it and it looks fine.

http://jsfiddle.net/dimshik/9DbEP/4/

I used a simple table, maybe you are missing some CSS on your new page that was created with JavaScript.

<table border="1" cellpadding="3" id="printTable">
    <tbody><tr>
        <th>First Name</th>
        <th>Last Name</th>      
        <th>Points</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Jill</td>
        <td>Smith</td>      
        <td>50</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Eve</td>
        <td>Jackson</td>        
        <td>94</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>John</td>
        <td>Doe</td>        
        <td>80</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Adam</td>
        <td>Johnson</td>        
        <td>67</td>
    </tr>
</tbody></table>

Javascript | Set all values of an array

There's no built-in way, you'll have to loop over all of them:

function setAll(a, v) {
    var i, n = a.length;
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        a[i] = v;
    }
}

http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/xG88A/

If you really want, do this:

Array.prototype.setAll = function(v) {
    var i, n = this.length;
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        this[i] = v;
    }
};

and then you could actually do cool.setAll(42) (see http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/ee3hb/).

Some people frown upon extending the prototype of built-in types, though.

EDIT ES5 introduced a way to safely extend both Object.prototype and Array.prototype without breaking for ... in ... enumeration:

Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'setAll', {
    value: function(v) {
        ...
    }
});

EDIT 2 In ES6 draft there's also now Array.prototype.fill, usage cool.fill(42)

PostgreSQL: ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = character varying

I think it is telling you exactly what is wrong. You cannot compare an integer with a varchar. PostgreSQL is strict and does not do any magic typecasting for you. I'm guessing SQLServer does typecasting automagically (which is a bad thing).

If you want to compare these two different beasts, you will have to cast one to the other using the casting syntax ::.

Something along these lines:

create view view1
as 
select table1.col1,table2.col1,table3.col3
from table1 
inner join
table2 
inner join 
table3
on 
table1.col4::varchar = table2.col5
/* Here col4 of table1 is of "integer" type and col5 of table2 is of type "varchar" */
/* ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = character varying */
....;

Notice the varchar typecasting on the table1.col4.

Also note that typecasting might possibly render your index on that column unusable and has a performance penalty, which is pretty bad. An even better solution would be to see if you can permanently change one of the two column types to match the other one. Literately change your database design.

Or you could create a index on the casted values by using a custom, immutable function which casts the values on the column. But this too may prove suboptimal (but better than live casting).

C split a char array into different variables

One option is strtok

example:

char name[20];
//pretend name is set to the value "My name"

You want to split it at the space between the two words

split=strtok(name," ");

while(split != NULL)
{
    word=split;
    split=strtok(NULL," ");
}

Create JPA EntityManager without persistence.xml configuration file

Here's a solution without Spring. Constants are taken from org.hibernate.cfg.AvailableSettings :

entityManagerFactory = new HibernatePersistenceProvider().createContainerEntityManagerFactory(
            archiverPersistenceUnitInfo(),
            ImmutableMap.<String, Object>builder()
                    .put(JPA_JDBC_DRIVER, JDBC_DRIVER)
                    .put(JPA_JDBC_URL, JDBC_URL)
                    .put(DIALECT, Oracle12cDialect.class)
                    .put(HBM2DDL_AUTO, CREATE)
                    .put(SHOW_SQL, false)
                    .put(QUERY_STARTUP_CHECKING, false)
                    .put(GENERATE_STATISTICS, false)
                    .put(USE_REFLECTION_OPTIMIZER, false)
                    .put(USE_SECOND_LEVEL_CACHE, false)
                    .put(USE_QUERY_CACHE, false)
                    .put(USE_STRUCTURED_CACHE, false)
                    .put(STATEMENT_BATCH_SIZE, 20)
                    .build());

entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();

And the infamous PersistenceUnitInfo

private static PersistenceUnitInfo archiverPersistenceUnitInfo() {
    return new PersistenceUnitInfo() {
        @Override
        public String getPersistenceUnitName() {
            return "ApplicationPersistenceUnit";

        @Override
        public PersistenceUnitTransactionType getTransactionType() {
            return PersistenceUnitTransactionType.RESOURCE_LOCAL;
        }

            return Collections.emptyList();
        }

        @Override
        public List<URL> getJarFileUrls() {
            try {
                return Collections.list(this.getClass()
                                            .getClassLoader()
                                            .getResources(""));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new UncheckedIOException(e);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public URL getPersistenceUnitRootUrl() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public List<String> getManagedClassNames() {
            return Collections.emptyList();
        }

        @Override

            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public SharedCacheMode getSharedCacheMode() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public ValidationMode getValidationMode() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public Properties getProperties() {
            return new Properties();
        }

        @Override
        public String getPersistenceXMLSchemaVersion() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public ClassLoader getClassLoader() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public void addTransformer(ClassTransformer transformer) {

        }

        @Override
        public ClassLoader getNewTempClassLoader() {
            return null;
        }
    };
}

An internal error occurred during: "Updating Maven Project". java.lang.NullPointerException

I had the same issue ... solution at the end !

here the eclipse log:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.google.appengine.eclipse.wtp.maven.GaeRuntimeManager.getGaeRuntime(GaeRuntimeManager.java:85)
    at com.google.appengine.eclipse.wtp.maven.GaeRuntimeManager.ensureGaeRuntimeWithSdk(GaeRuntimeManager.java:55)
    at com.google.appengine.eclipse.wtp.maven.GaeFacetManager.addGaeFacet(GaeFacetManager.java:59)
    at com.google.appengine.eclipse.wtp.maven.GaeProjectConfigurator.configure(GaeProjectConfigurator.java:46)

... it comes from "appengine maven wtp plugin" that try to get the type of GAE runtime, but seems to be null here (... getRuntimeType() --> NPE):

see class com.google.appengine.eclipse.wtp.maven/GaeRuntimeManager.java

  private static IRuntime getGaeRuntime(String sdkVersion) {
    IRuntime[] runtimes = ServerCore.getRuntimes();
    for (IRuntime runtime : runtimes) {
      if (runtime != null &&  **runtime.getRuntimeType()**.equals(GAE_RUNTIME_TYPE)) {

So, if you check in eclipse, Google App Engine is visible , but when you select it you'll see that no SDK is associated ... preference/Server/Runtime environments

C# Checking if button was clicked

i am very new to this website. I am an undergraduate student, doing my Bachelor Of Computer Application. I am doing a simple program in Visual Studio using C# and I came across the same problem, how to check whether a button is clicked? I wanted to do this,

if(-button1 is clicked-) then
{
this should happen;
}
if(-button2 is clicked-) then
{
this should happen;
}

I didn't know what to do, so I tried searching for the solution in the internet. I got many solutions which didn't help me. So, I tried something on my own and did this,

int i;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            i = 1;
            label3.Text = "Principle";
            label4.Text = "Rate";
            label5.Text = "Time";
            label6.Text = "Simple Interest";
        }


private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            i = 2;
            label3.Text = "SI";
            label4.Text = "Rate";
            label5.Text = "Time";
            label6.Text = "Principle";
        }
private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            try
            {
                if (i == 1)
                {
                    si = (Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text) * Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text) * Convert.ToInt32(textBox3.Text)) / 100;
                    textBox4.Text = Convert.ToString(si);
                }
                if (i == 2)
                {
                    p = (Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text) * 100) / (Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text) * Convert.ToInt32(textBox3.Text));
                    textBox4.Text = Convert.ToString(p);
                }

I declared a variable "i" and assigned it with different values in different buttons and checked the value of i in the if function. It worked. Give your suggestions if any. Thank you.

How does one sum only those rows in excel not filtered out?

When you use autofilter to filter results, Excel doesn't even bother to hide them: it just sets the height of the row to zero (up to 2003 at least, not sure on 2007).

So the following custom function should give you a starter to do what you want (tested with integers, haven't played with anything else):

Function SumVis(r As Range)
    Dim cell As Excel.Range
    Dim total As Variant

    For Each cell In r.Cells
        If cell.Height <> 0 Then
            total = total + cell.Value
        End If
    Next

    SumVis = total
End Function

Edit:

You'll need to create a module in the workbook to put the function in, then you can just call it on your sheet like any other function (=SumVis(A1:A14)). If you need help setting up the module, let me know.

what is the unsigned datatype?

in C, unsigned is a shortcut for unsigned int.

You have the same for long that is a shortcut for long int

And it is also possible to declare a unsigned long (it will be a unsigned long int).

How to install APK from PC?

  1. Connect Android device to PC via USB cable and turn on USB storage.
  2. Copy .apk file to attached device's storage.
  3. Turn off USB storage and disconnect it from PC.
  4. Check the option Settings ? Applications ? Unknown sources OR Settings > Security > Unknown Sources.
  5. Open FileManager app and click on the copied .apk file. If you can't fine the apk file try searching or allowing hidden files. It will ask you whether to install this app or not. Click Yes or OK.

This procedure works even if ADB is not available.

Load text file as strings using numpy.loadtxt()

There is also read_csv in Pandas, which is fast and supports non-comma column separators and automatic typing by column:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('your_file',sep='\t')

It can be converted to a NumPy array if you prefer that type with:

import numpy as np
arr = np.array(df)

This is by far the easiest and most mature text import approach I've come across.

Start an Activity with a parameter

Put an int which is your id into the new Intent.

Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putInt("key", 1); //Your id
intent.putExtras(b); //Put your id to your next Intent
startActivity(intent);
finish();

Then grab the id in your new Activity:

Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
int value = -1; // or other values
if(b != null)
    value = b.getInt("key");

Generate JSON string from NSDictionary in iOS

Here are categories for NSArray and NSDictionary to make this super-easy. I've added an option for pretty-print (newlines and tabs to make easier to read).

@interface NSDictionary (BVJSONString)
-(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint;
@end

.

@implementation NSDictionary (BVJSONString)

  -(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint {
     NSError *error;
     NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:self
                                                   options:(NSJSONWritingOptions)    (prettyPrint ? NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted : 0)
                                                     error:&error];

     if (! jsonData) {
        NSLog(@"%s: error: %@", __func__, error.localizedDescription);
        return @"{}";
     } else {
        return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
     } 
 }
@end

.

@interface NSArray (BVJSONString)
- (NSString *)bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL)prettyPrint;
@end

.

@implementation NSArray (BVJSONString)
-(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint {
    NSError *error;
    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:self
                                                       options:(NSJSONWritingOptions) (prettyPrint ? NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted : 0)
                                                         error:&error];

    if (! jsonData) {
        NSLog(@"%s: error: %@", __func__, error.localizedDescription);
        return @"[]";
    } else {
        return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    }
}
@end

Combine two ActiveRecord::Relation objects

Relation objects can be converted to arrays. This negates being able to use any ActiveRecord methods on them afterwards, but I didn't need to. I did this:

text-align:center won't work with form <label> tag (?)

label is an inline element so its width is equal to the width of the text it contains. The browser is actually displaying the label with text-align:center but since the label is only as wide as the text you don't notice.

The best thing to do is to apply a specific width to the label that is greater than the width of the content - this will give you the results you want.

Confirmation before closing of tab/browser

I read comments on answer set as Okay. Most of the user are asking that the button and some links click should be allowed. Here one more line is added to the existing code that will work.

<script type="text/javascript">
  var hook = true;
  window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    if (hook) {

      return "Did you save your stuff?"
    }
  }
  function unhook() {
    hook=false;
  }

Call unhook() onClick for button and links which you want to allow. E.g.

<a href="#" onClick="unhook()">This link will allow navigation</a>

Bootstrap row class contains margin-left and margin-right which creates problems

Old topic, but I think I found another descent solution. Adding class="row" to a div will result in this CSS configuration:

.row {
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    margin-right: -15px;
    margin-left: -15px;
}

We want to keep the first 3 rules and we can do this with class="d-flex flex-wrap" (see https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/utilities/flex/):

.flex-wrap {
    flex-wrap: wrap !important;
}
.d-flex {
    display: -webkit-box !important;
    display: flex !important;
}

It adds !important rules though but it shouldn't be a problem in most cases...

In Angular, I need to search objects in an array

I know if that can help you a bit.

Here is something I tried to simulate for you.

Checkout the jsFiddle ;)

http://jsfiddle.net/migontech/gbW8Z/5/

Created a filter that you also can use in 'ng-repeat'

app.filter('getById', function() {
  return function(input, id) {
    var i=0, len=input.length;
    for (; i<len; i++) {
      if (+input[i].id == +id) {
        return input[i];
      }
    }
    return null;
  }
});

Usage in controller:

app.controller('SomeController', ['$scope', '$filter', function($scope, $filter) {
     $scope.fish = [{category:'freshwater', id:'1', name: 'trout', more:'false'},  {category:'freshwater', id:'2', name:'bass', more:'false'}]

     $scope.showdetails = function(fish_id){
         var found = $filter('getById')($scope.fish, fish_id);
         console.log(found);
         $scope.selected = JSON.stringify(found);
     }
}]);

To prevent a memory leak, the JDBC Driver has been forcibly unregistered

I found that implementing a simple destroy() method to de-register any JDBC drivers works nicely.

/**
 * Destroys the servlet cleanly by unloading JDBC drivers.
 * 
 * @see javax.servlet.GenericServlet#destroy()
 */
public void destroy() {
    String prefix = getClass().getSimpleName() +" destroy() ";
    ServletContext ctx = getServletContext();
    try {
        Enumeration<Driver> drivers = DriverManager.getDrivers();
        while(drivers.hasMoreElements()) {
            DriverManager.deregisterDriver(drivers.nextElement());
        }
    } catch(Exception e) {
        ctx.log(prefix + "Exception caught while deregistering JDBC drivers", e);
    }
    ctx.log(prefix + "complete");
}

Bash foreach loop

Something like this would do:

xargs cat <filenames.txt

The xargs program reads its standard input, and for each line of input runs the cat program with the input lines as argument(s).

If you really want to do this in a loop, you can:

for fn in `cat filenames.txt`; do
    echo "the next file is $fn"
    cat $fn
done

ValueError : I/O operation on closed file

Indent correctly; your for statement should be inside the with block:

import csv    

with open('v.csv', 'w') as csvfile:
    cwriter = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=' ', quotechar='|', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)

    for w, c in p.items():
        cwriter.writerow(w + c)

Outside the with block, the file is closed.

>>> with open('/tmp/1', 'w') as f:
...     print(f.closed)
... 
False
>>> print(f.closed)
True

What's the difference between Instant and LocalDateTime?

You are wrong about LocalDateTime: it does not store any time-zone information and it has nanosecond precision. Quoting the Javadoc (emphasis mine):

A date-time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 2007-12-03T10:15:30.

LocalDateTime is an immutable date-time object that represents a date-time, often viewed as year-month-day-hour-minute-second. Other date and time fields, such as day-of-year, day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value "2nd October 2007 at 13:45.30.123456789" can be stored in a LocalDateTime.

The difference between the two is that Instant represents an offset from the Epoch (01-01-1970) and, as such, represents a particular instant on the time-line. Two Instant objects created at the same moment in two different places of the Earth will have exactly the same value.

Jquery post, response in new window

Accepted answer doesn't work with "use strict" as the "with" statement throws an error. So instead:

$.post(url, function (data) {
    var w = window.open('about:blank', 'windowname');
    w.document.write(data);
    w.document.close();
});

Also, make sure 'windowname' doesn't have any spaces in it because that will fail in IE :)

How do I make Git use the editor of my choice for commits?

In Windows 7, setting editor to Notepad++

  • Open any text editor.
  • Open this file: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.gitconfig
  • Add this section to the bottom:

For 64 bit Notepad++ use:

[core]
    editor = 'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar

For 32 bit Notepad++ use:

[core]
    editor = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar
  • Save and close the file.

Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted

This problem is happend because of php.ini defined limit was exided but have lot's of solution for this but simple one is to find your local servers folder and on that find the php folder and in that folder have php.ini file which have all declaration of these type setups. You just need to find one and change that value. But in this situation have one big problem once you change in your localhost file but what about server when you want to put your site on server it again produce same problem and you again follow the same for server. But you also know about .htaccess file this is one of the best and single place to do a lot's of things without changing core files. Like you change www routing, removing .php or other extentions from url or add one. Same like that you also difine default values of php.ini here like this - First you need to open the .htaccess file from your root directory or if you don't have this file so create one on root directory of your site and paste this code on it -

php_value upload_max_filesize 1000M
php_value post_max_size 99500M
php_value memory_limit 500M
php_value max_execution_time 300

after changes if you want to check the changes just run the php code

<?php phpinfo(); ?> 

it will show you the php cofigrations all details. So you find your changes.

Note: for defining unlimited just add -1 like php_value memory_limit -1 It's not good and most of the time slow down your server. But if you like to be limit less then this one option is also fit for you. If after refresh your page changes will not reflect you must restart your local server once for changes.

Good Luck. Hope it will help. Want to download the .htaccess file click this.

Box shadow in IE7 and IE8

Giving multiple URL patterns to Servlet Filter

If an URL pattern starts with /, then it's relative to the context root. The /Admin/* URL pattern would only match pages on http://localhost:8080/EMS2/Admin/* (assuming that /EMS2 is the context path), but you have them actually on http://localhost:8080/EMS2/faces/Html/Admin/*, so your URL pattern never matches.

You need to prefix your URL patterns with /faces/Html as well like so:

<url-pattern>/faces/Html/Admin/*</url-pattern>

You can alternatively also just reconfigure your web project structure/configuration so that you can get rid of the /faces/Html path in the URLs so that you can just open the page by for example http://localhost:8080/EMS2/Admin/Upload.xhtml.

Your filter mapping syntax is all fine. However, a simpler way to specify multiple URL patterns is to just use only one <filter-mapping> with multiple <url-pattern> entries:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>LoginFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Employee/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Admin/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/faces/Html/Supervisor/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

React Js: Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

I confirm some methods proposed here that also worked for me : you have to put your local .json file in your public directory where fetch() is looking for (looking in http://localhost:3000/) for example : I use this fetch() in my src/App.js file:

componentDidMount(){
  fetch('./data/json-data.json')
  .then ( resp1 => resp1.json() )
  .then ( users1 => this.setState( {cards : users1} ) )
}

so I created public/data/json-data.json

and everything was fine then :)

UL or DIV vertical scrollbar

Sometimes it is not eligible to set height to pixel values. However, it is possible to show vertical scrollbar through setting height of div to 100% and overflow to auto.

Let me show an example:

<div id="content" style="height: 100%; overflow: auto">
  <p>some text</p>
  <ul>
    <li>text</li>
    .....
    <li>text</li>
</div>

Use of "this" keyword in formal parameters for static methods in C#

Scott Gu's quoted blog post explains it nicely.

For me, the answer to the question is in the following statement in that post:

Note how the static method above has a "this" keyword before the first parameter argument of type string. This tells the compiler that this particular Extension Method should be added to objects of type "string". Within the IsValidEmailAddress() method implementation I can then access all of the public properties/methods/events of the actual string instance that the method is being called on, and return true/false depending on whether it is a valid email or not.

Right way to split an std::string into a vector<string>

Tweaked version from Techie Delight:

#include <string>
#include <vector>

std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string& str, char delim) {
    std::vector<std::string> strings;
    size_t start;
    size_t end = 0;
    while ((start = str.find_first_not_of(delim, end)) != std::string::npos) {
        end = str.find(delim, start);
        strings.push_back(str.substr(start, end - start));
    }
    return strings;
}

Python reshape list to ndim array

Step by step:

# import numpy library
import numpy as np
# create list
my_list = [0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3]
# convert list to numpy array
np_array=np.asarray(my_list)
# reshape array into 4 rows x 2 columns, and transpose the result
reshaped_array = np_array.reshape(4, 2).T 

#check the result
reshaped_array
array([[0, 1, 2, 3],
       [0, 1, 2, 3]])

How can I find the location of origin/master in git, and how do I change it?

I am struggling with this problem and none of the previous answers tackle the question as I see it. I have stripped the problem back down to its basics to see if I can make my problem clear.

I create a new repository (rep1), put one file in it and commit it.

mkdir rep1
cd rep1
git init
echo "Line1" > README
git add README
git commit -m "Commit 1"

I create a clone of rep1 and call it rep2. I look inside rep2 and see the file is correct.

cd ~
git clone ~/rep1 rep2
cat ~/rep2/README

In rep1 I make a single change to the file and commit it. Then in rep1 I create a remote to point to rep2 and push the changes.

cd ~/rep1
<change file and commit>
git remote add rep2 ~/rep2
git push rep2 master

Now when I go into rep2 and do a 'git status' I get told I am ahead of origin.

# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#   modified:   README
#

README in rep2 is as it was originally, before the second commit. The only modifications I have done are to rep1 and all I wanted to do was push them out to rep2. What is it I am not grasping?

Cannot find reference 'xxx' in __init__.py - Python / Pycharm

I know this is old, but Google sent me here so I guess others will come too like me.

The answer on 2018 is the selected one here: Pycharm: "unresolved reference" error on the IDE when opening a working project

Just be aware that you can only add one Content Root but you can add several Source Folders. No need to touch __init__.py files.

Installing Bootstrap 3 on Rails App

For me, the simplest way to do this is

1) Download and unzip bootstrap into vendor

2) Add the bootstrap path to your config

config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("vendor/bootstrap-3.3.6-dist")

3) Require them

in css *= require css/bootstrap

in js //= require js/bootstrap

Done!

This methods makes the fonts load without any other special configuration and doesn't require moving the bootstrap files out of their self-contained directory.

Java - Convert integer to string

This is the method which i used to convert the integer to string.Correct me if i did wrong.

/**
 * @param a
 * @return
 */
private String convertToString(int a) {

    int c;
    char m;
    StringBuilder ans = new StringBuilder();
    // convert the String to int
    while (a > 0) {
        c = a % 10;
        a = a / 10;
        m = (char) ('0' + c);
        ans.append(m);
    }
    return ans.reverse().toString();
}

List directory tree structure in python?

You can execute 'tree' command of Linux shell.

Installation:

   ~$sudo apt install tree

Using in python

    >>> import os
    >>> os.system('tree <desired path>')

Example:

    >>> os.system('tree ~/Desktop/myproject')

This gives you a cleaner structure and is visually more comprehensive and easy to type.

How to increment datetime by custom months in python without using library

Edit - based on your comment of dates being needed to be rounded down if there are fewer days in the next month, here is a solution:

import datetime
import calendar

def add_months(sourcedate, months):
    month = sourcedate.month - 1 + months
    year = sourcedate.year + month // 12
    month = month % 12 + 1
    day = min(sourcedate.day, calendar.monthrange(year,month)[1])
    return datetime.date(year, month, day)

In use:

>>> somedate = datetime.date.today()
>>> somedate
datetime.date(2010, 11, 9)
>>> add_months(somedate,1)
datetime.date(2010, 12, 9)
>>> add_months(somedate,23)
datetime.date(2012, 10, 9)
>>> otherdate = datetime.date(2010,10,31)
>>> add_months(otherdate,1)
datetime.date(2010, 11, 30)

Also, if you're not worried about hours, minutes and seconds you could use date rather than datetime. If you are worried about hours, minutes and seconds you need to modify my code to use datetime and copy hours, minutes and seconds from the source to the result.

Angular cookies

Use NGX Cookie Service

Inastall this package: npm install ngx-cookie-service --save

Add the cookie service to your app.module.ts as a provider:

import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie-service';
@NgModule({
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  imports: [ BrowserModule, ... ],
  providers: [ CookieService ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

Then call in your component:

import { CookieService } from 'ngx-cookie-service';

constructor( private cookieService: CookieService ) { }

ngOnInit(): void {
  this.cookieService.set( 'name', 'Test Cookie' ); // To Set Cookie
  this.cookieValue = this.cookieService.get('name'); // To Get Cookie
}

That's it!

Creation timestamp and last update timestamp with Hibernate and MySQL

A good approach is to have a common base class for all your entities. In this base class, you can have your id property if it is commonly named in all your entities (a common design), your creation and last update date properties.

For the creation date, you simply keep a java.util.Date property. Be sure, to always initialize it with new Date().

For the last update field, you can use a Timestamp property, you need to map it with @Version. With this Annotation the property will get updated automatically by Hibernate. Beware that Hibernate will also apply optimistic locking (it's a good thing).

What should be in my .gitignore for an Android Studio project?

Updated to Android Studio 3.0 Please share missing items in comments.

A late answer but this alternative answer was not right for us ...

So, here's our gitignore file:

#built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
*.aab
                           
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
                            
# Java class files
*.class
                            
# generated files
bin/
gen/
                            
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
                        
# Windows thumbnail db
Thumbs.db
                
# OSX files
.DS_Store
                            
# Android Studio
*.iml
.idea
#.idea/workspace.xml - remove # and delete .idea if it better suit your needs.
.gradle
build/
.navigation
captures/
output.json 
    
#NDK
obj/
.externalNativeBuild

Since Android Studio 2.2 and up to 3.0, new projects are created with this gitignore file:

*.iml
.gradle
/local.properties
/.idea/workspace.xml
/.idea/libraries
.DS_Store
/build
/captures
.externalNativeBuild

Deprecated - for older project format, add this section to your gitignore file:


/*/out
/*/*/build
/*/*/production
*.iws
*.ipr
*~
*.swp

This file should be located in the project's root folder and not inside the project's module folder.

Edit Notes:

  1. Since version 0.3+ it seems you can commit and push *.iml and build.gradle files. If your project is based on Gradle: in the new open/import dialog, you should check the "use auto import" checkbox and mark the "use default gradle wrapper (recommended)" radio button. All paths are now relative as @George suggested.

XML Carriage return encoding

To insert a CR into XML, you need to use its character entity &#13;.

This is because compliant XML parsers must, before parsing, translate CRLF and any CR not followed by a LF to a single LF. This behavior is defined in the End-of-Line handling section of the XML 1.0 specification.

How to use BeginInvoke C#

I guess your code relates to Windows Forms.
You call BeginInvoke if you need something to be executed asynchronously in the UI thread: change control's properties in most of the cases.
Roughly speaking this is accomplished be passing the delegate to some procedure which is being periodically executed. (message loop processing and the stuff like that)

If BeginInvoke is called for Delegate type the delegate is just invoked asynchronously.
(Invoke for the sync version.)

If you want more universal code which works perfectly for WPF and WinForms you can consider Task Parallel Library and running the Task with the according context. (TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext())

And to add a little to already said by others: Lambdas can be treated either as anonymous methods or expressions.
And that is why you cannot just use var with lambdas: compiler needs a hint.

UPDATE:

this requires .Net v4.0 and higher

// This line must be called in UI thread to get correct scheduler
var scheduler = System.Threading.Tasks.TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();

// this can be called anywhere
var task = new System.Threading.Tasks.Task( () => someformobj.listBox1.SelectedIndex = 0);

// also can be called anywhere. Task  will be scheduled for execution.
// And *IF I'm not mistaken* can be (or even will be executed synchronously)
// if this call is made from GUI thread. (to be checked) 
task.Start(scheduler);

If you started the task from other thread and need to wait for its completition task.Wait() will block calling thread till the end of the task.

How to get image height and width using java?

I tried to test performance using some of the various approaches listed. It's hard to make a rigorous test as many factors affect the result. I prepared two folders, one with 330 jpg files and another one with 330 png files. The average file size was 4Mb in both cases. Then I called getDimension for each file. Each implementation of getDimension method and each image type was tested separately (separate run). Here is the execution times that I got (first number for jpg, second number for png):

1(Apurv) - 101454ms, 84611ms
2(joinJpegs) - 471ms, N/A
3(Andrew Taylor) - 707ms, 68ms
4(Karussell, ImageIcon) - 106655ms, 100898ms
5(user350756) - 2649ms, 68ms

It's obvious that some methods load the whole file in order to get dimensions while others get by just reading some header information from the image. I think these numbers may be useful when application performance is critical.

Thank you everyone for the contribution to this thread - very helpful.

File Permissions and CHMOD: How to set 777 in PHP upon file creation?

If you want to change the permissions of an existing file, use chmod (change mode):

$itWorked = chmod ("/yourdir/yourfile", 0777);

If you want all new files to have certain permissions, you need to look into setting your umode. This is a process setting that applies a default modification to standard modes.

It is a subtractive one. By that, I mean a umode of 022 will give you a default permission of 755 (777 - 022 = 755).

But you should think very carefully about both these options. Files created with that mode will be totally unprotected from changes.

How do CORS and Access-Control-Allow-Headers work?

Yes, you need to have the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://domain.com:3000 or Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on both the OPTIONS response and the POST response. You should include the header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true on the POST response as well.

Your OPTIONS response should also include the header Access-Control-Allow-Headers: origin, content-type, accept to match the requested header.

What is meant with "const" at end of function declaration?

Consider two class-typed variables:

class Boo { ... };

Boo b0;       // mutable object
const Boo b1; // non-mutable object

Now you are able to call any member function of Boo on b0, but only const-qualified member functions on b1.

Install dependencies globally and locally using package.json

New Note: You probably don't want or need to do this. What you probably want to do is just put those types of command dependencies for build/test etc. in the devDependencies section of your package.json. Anytime you use something from scripts in package.json your devDependencies commands (in node_modules/.bin) act as if they are in your path.

For example:

npm i --save-dev mocha # Install test runner locally
npm i --save-dev babel # Install current babel locally

Then in package.json:

// devDependencies has mocha and babel now

"scripts": {
  "test": "mocha",
  "build": "babel -d lib src",
  "prepublish": "babel -d lib src"
}

Then at your command prompt you can run:

npm run build # finds babel
npm test # finds mocha

npm publish # will run babel first

But if you really want to install globally, you can add a preinstall in the scripts section of the package.json:

"scripts": {
  "preinstall": "npm i -g themodule"
}

So actually my npm install executes npm install again .. which is weird but seems to work.

Note: you might have issues if you are using the most common setup for npm where global Node package installs required sudo. One option is to change your npm configuration so this isn't necessary:

npm config set prefix ~/npm, add $HOME/npm/bin to $PATH by appending export PATH=$HOME/npm/bin:$PATH to your ~/.bashrc.

How to uninstall a package installed with pip install --user

I am running Anaconda version 4.3.22 and a python3.6.1 environment, and had this problem. Here's the history and the fix:

pip uninstall opencv-python # -- the original step. failed.

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I did this into my python3.6 environment and got this error.

python -m pip install opencv-python # same package as above.
conda install -c conda-forge opencv # separate install parallel to opencv
pip-install opencv-contrib-python # suggested by another user here. doesn't resolve it.

Next, I tried downloading python3.6 and putting the python3.dll in the folder and in various folders. nothing changed.

finally, this fixed it:

pip uninstall opencv-python

(the other conda-forge version is still installed) This left only the conda version, and that works in 3.6.

>>>import cv2
>>>

working!

How to check if input date is equal to today's date?

A simple date comparison in pure JS should be sufficient:

// Create date from input value
var inputDate = new Date("11/21/2011");

// Get today's date
var todaysDate = new Date();

// call setHours to take the time out of the comparison
if(inputDate.setHours(0,0,0,0) == todaysDate.setHours(0,0,0,0)) {
    // Date equals today's date
}

Sadly, I think that JSTL doesn't support anything but an iteration through all elements to figure this out. In the past, I've used the forEach method in the core tag library:

<c:set var="contains" value="false" />
<c:forEach var="item" items="${myList}">
  <c:if test="${item eq myValue}">
    <c:set var="contains" value="true" />
  </c:if>
</c:forEach>

After this runs, ${contains} will be equal to "true" if myList contained myValue.

Are there constants in JavaScript?

JavaScript ES6 (re-)introduced the const keyword which is supported in all major browsers.

Variables declared via const cannot be re-declared or re-assigned.

Apart from that, const behaves similar to let.

It behaves as expected for primitive datatypes (Boolean, Null, Undefined, Number, String, Symbol):

const x = 1;
x = 2;
console.log(x); // 1 ...as expected, re-assigning fails

Attention: Be aware of the pitfalls regarding objects:

const o = {x: 1};
o = {x: 2};
console.log(o); // {x: 1} ...as expected, re-assigning fails

o.x = 2;
console.log(o); // {x: 2} !!! const does not make objects immutable!

const a = [];
a = [1];
console.log(a); // 1 ...as expected, re-assigning fails

a.push(1);
console.log(a); // [1] !!! const does not make objects immutable

If you really need an immutable and absolutely constant object: Just use const ALL_CAPS to make your intention clear. It is a good convention to follow for all const declarations anyway, so just rely on it.

Keep background image fixed during scroll using css

Just add background-attachment to your code

body {
    background-position: center;
    background-image: url(../images/images5.jpg);
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

Simple way to find if two different lists contain exactly the same elements?

Sample code:

public static '<'T'>' boolean isListDifferent(List'<'T'>' previousList,
        List'<'T'>' newList) {

    int sizePrevoisList = -1;
    int sizeNewList = -1;

    if (previousList != null && !previousList.isEmpty()) {
        sizePrevoisList = previousList.size();
    }
    if (newList != null && !newList.isEmpty()) {
        sizeNewList = newList.size();
    }

    if ((sizePrevoisList == -1) && (sizeNewList == -1)) {
        return false;
    }

    if (sizeNewList != sizePrevoisList) {
        return true;
    }

    List n_prevois = new ArrayList(previousList);
    List n_new = new ArrayList(newList);

    try {
        Collections.sort(n_prevois);
        Collections.sort(n_new);
    } catch (ClassCastException exp) {
        return true;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeNewList; i++) {
        Object obj_prevois = n_prevois.get(i);
        Object obj_new = n_new.get(i);
        if (obj_new.equals(obj_prevois)) {
            // Object are same
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Can I invoke an instance method on a Ruby module without including it?

Firstly, I'd recommend breaking the module up into the useful things you need. But you can always create a class extending that for your invocation:

module UsefulThings
  def a
    puts "aaay"
  end
  def b
    puts "beee"
  end
end

def test
  ob = Class.new.send(:include, UsefulThings).new
  ob.a
end

test

Chart.js v2 hide dataset labels

You can also put the tooltip onto one line by removing the "title":

this.chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: this.props.horizontal ? 'horizontalBar' : 'bar',
    options: {
        legend: {
            display: false,
        },
        tooltips: {
            callbacks: {
                label: tooltipItem => `${tooltipItem.yLabel}: ${tooltipItem.xLabel}`, 
                title: () => null,
            }
        },
    },
});

How do I write a method to calculate total cost for all items in an array?

The total of 7 numbers in an array can be created as:

import java.util.*;
class Sum
{
   public static void main(String arg[])
   {
     int a[]=new int[7];
     int total=0;
     Scanner n=new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Enter the no. for total");

     for(int i=0;i<=6;i++) 
     {
       a[i]=n.nextInt();
       total=total+a[i];
      }
       System.out.println("The total is :"+total);
    }
}

Differences between unique_ptr and shared_ptr

unique_ptr
is a smart pointer which owns an object exclusively.

shared_ptr
is a smart pointer for shared ownership. It is both copyable and movable. Multiple smart pointer instances can own the same resource. As soon as the last smart pointer owning the resource goes out of scope, the resource will be freed.

Use Device Login on Smart TV / Console

They change it again. At this moment documentation does not fit actual situation.

Commonly all works as expected with one small difference. Login from Devices config now moves to Products -> Facebook Login.

So you need to:

  • get your App id from headline,
  • get Client Token from app Settings -> Advanced. There is also Native or desktop app? question/config. I turn it on.
  • Add product (just click on Add product and then Get started on Facebook login. Move back to your app config, click to newly added Facebook login and you'll see your Login from Devices config.

The rest are true. There are no barewords for true or false.

Moving Git repository content to another repository preserving history

Perfectly described here https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/moving-git-repository-new-server/

First, we have to fetch all of the remote branches and tags from the existing repository to our local index:

git fetch origin

We can check for any missing branches that we need to create a local copy of:

git branch -a

Let’s use the SSH-cloned URL of our new repository to create a new remote in our existing local repository:

git remote add new-origin [email protected]:manakor/manascope.git

Now we are ready to push all local branches and tags to the new remote named new-origin:

git push --all new-origin 
git push --tags new-origin

Let’s make new-origin the default remote:

git remote rm origin

Rename new-origin to just origin, so that it becomes the default remote:

git remote rename new-origin origin

VBA: How to delete filtered rows in Excel?

Use SpecialCells to delete only the rows that are visible after autofiltering:

ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$I$" & lines).SpecialCells _
    (xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete

If you have a header row in your range that you don't want to delete, add an offset to the range to exclude it:

ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$I$" & lines).Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells _
    (xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete

How do I count columns of a table

Simply use mysql_fetch_assoc and count the array using count() function

latex tabular width the same as the textwidth

The tabularx package gives you

  1. the total width as a first parameter, and
  2. a new column type X, all X columns will grow to fill up the total width.

For your example:

\usepackage{tabularx}
% ...    
\begin{document}
% ...

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
\hline
Input & Output& Action return \\
\hline
\hline

\hline
\end{tabularx}

How do I scroll to an element within an overflowed Div?

The $innerListItem.position().top is actually relative to the .scrollTop() of its first positioned ancestor. So the way to calculate the correct $parentDiv.scrollTop() value is to begin by making sure that $parentDiv is positioned. If it doesn't already have an explicit position, use position: relative. The elements $innerListItem and all its ancestors up to $parentDiv need to have no explicit position. Now you can scroll to the $innerListItem with:

// Scroll to the top
$parentDiv.scrollTop($parentDiv.scrollTop() + $innerListItem.position().top);

// Scroll to the center
$parentDiv.scrollTop($parentDiv.scrollTop() + $innerListItem.position().top
    - $parentDiv.height()/2 + $innerListItem.height()/2);

Comparing two java.util.Dates to see if they are in the same day

Joda-Time

As for adding a dependency, I'm afraid the java.util.Date & .Calendar really are so bad that the first thing I do to any new project is add the Joda-Time library. In Java 8 you can use the new java.time package, inspired by Joda-Time.

The core of Joda-Time is the DateTime class. Unlike java.util.Date, it understands its assigned time zone (DateTimeZone). When converting from j.u.Date, assign a zone.

DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID( "America/Montreal" );
DateTime dateTimeQuébec = new DateTime( date , zone );

LocalDate

One way to verify if two date-times land on the same date is to convert to LocalDate objects.

That conversion depends on the assigned time zone. To compare LocalDate objects, they must have been converted with the same zone.

Here is a little utility method.

static public Boolean sameDate ( DateTime dt1 , DateTime dt2 )
{
    LocalDate ld1 = new LocalDate( dt1 );
    // LocalDate determination depends on the time zone.
    // So be sure the date-time values are adjusted to the same time zone.
    LocalDate ld2 = new LocalDate( dt2.withZone( dt1.getZone() ) );
    Boolean match = ld1.equals( ld2 );
    return match;
}

Better would be another argument, specifying the time zone rather than assuming the first DateTime object’s time zone should be used.

static public Boolean sameDate ( DateTimeZone zone , DateTime dt1 , DateTime dt2 )
{
    LocalDate ld1 = new LocalDate( dt1.withZone( zone ) );
    // LocalDate determination depends on the time zone.
    // So be sure the date-time values are adjusted to the same time zone.
    LocalDate ld2 = new LocalDate( dt2.withZone( zone ) );
    return ld1.equals( ld2 );
}

String Representation

Another approach is to create a string representation of the date portion of each date-time, then compare strings.

Again, the assigned time zone is crucial.

DateTimeFormatter formatter = ISODateTimeFormat.date();  // Static method.
String s1 = formatter.print( dateTime1 );
String s2 = formatter.print( dateTime2.withZone( dt1.getZone() )  );
Boolean match = s1.equals( s2 );
return match;

Span of Time

The generalized solution is to define a span of time, then ask if the span contains your target. This example code is in Joda-Time 2.4. Note that the "midnight"-related classes are deprecated. Instead use the withTimeAtStartOfDay method. Joda-Time offers three classes to represent a span of time in various ways: Interval, Period, and Duration.

Using the "Half-Open" approach where the beginning of the span is inclusive and the ending exclusive.

The time zone of the target can be different than the time zone of the interval.

DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZone.forID( "Europe/Paris" );
DateTime target = new DateTime( 2012, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, timeZone );
DateTime start = DateTime.now( timeZone ).withTimeAtStartOfDay();
DateTime stop = start.plusDays( 1 ).withTimeAtStartOfDay();
Interval interval = new Interval( start, stop );
boolean containsTarget = interval.contains( target );

java.time

Java 8 and later comes with the java.time framework. Inspired by Joda-Time, defined by JSR 310, and extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project. See Tutorial.

The makers of Joda-Time have instructed us all to move to java.time as soon as is convenient. In the meantime Joda-Time continues as an actively maintained project. But expect future work to occur only in java.time and ThreeTen-Extra rather than Joda-Time.

To summarize java.time in a nutshell… An Instant is a moment on the timeline in UTC. Apply a time zone (ZoneId) to get a ZonedDateTime object. To move off the timeline, to get the vague indefinite idea of a date-time, use the "local" classes: LocalDateTime, LocalDate, LocalTime.

The logic discussed in the Joda-Time section of this Answer applies to java.time.

The old java.util.Date class has a new toInstant method for conversion to java.time.

Instant instant = yourJavaUtilDate.toInstant(); // Convert into java.time type.

Determining a date requires a time zone.

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );

We apply that time zone object to the Instant to obtain a ZonedDateTime. From that we extract a date-only value (a LocalDate) as our goal is to compare dates (not hours, minutes, etc.).

ZonedDateTime zdt1 = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant( instant , zoneId );
LocalDate localDate1 = LocalDate.from( zdt1 );

Do the same to the second java.util.Date object we need for comparison. I’ll just use the current moment instead.

ZonedDateTime zdt2 = ZonedDateTime.now( zoneId );
LocalDate localDate2 = LocalDate.from( zdt2 );

Use the special isEqual method to test for the same date value.

Boolean sameDate = localDate1.isEqual( localDate2 );

AngularJS Directive Restrict A vs E

restrict is for defining the directive type, and it can be A (Attribute), C (Class), E (Element), and M (coMment) , let's assume that the name of the directive is Doc :

Type : Usage

A = <div Doc></div>

C = <div class="Doc"></div>

E = <Doc data="book_data"></Doc>

M = <!--directive:Doc -->

Browser/HTML Force download of image from src="data:image/jpeg;base64..."

I guess an img tag is needed as a child of an a tag, the following way:

<a download="YourFileName.jpeg" href="data:image/jpeg;base64,iVBO...CYII=">
    <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,iVBO...CYII="></img>
</a>

or

<a download="YourFileName.jpeg" href="/path/to/OtherFile.jpg">
    <img src="/path/to/OtherFile.jpg"></img>
</a>

Only using the a tag as explained in #15 didn't worked for me with the latest version of Firefox and Chrome, but putting the same image data in both a.href and img.src tags worked for me.

From JavaScript it could be generated like this:

var data = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");

var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = data;

var a = document.createElement('a');
a.setAttribute("download", "YourFileName.jpeg");
a.setAttribute("href", data);
a.appendChild(img);

var w = open();
w.document.title = 'Export Image';
w.document.body.innerHTML = 'Left-click on the image to save it.';
w.document.body.appendChild(a);

Get top n records for each group of grouped results

If the other answers are not fast enough Give this code a try:

SELECT
        province, n, city, population
    FROM
      ( SELECT  @prev := '', @n := 0 ) init
    JOIN
      ( SELECT  @n := if(province != @prev, 1, @n + 1) AS n,
                @prev := province,
                province, city, population
            FROM  Canada
            ORDER BY
                province   ASC,
                population DESC
      ) x
    WHERE  n <= 3
    ORDER BY  province, n;

Output:

Android Studio - How to Change Android SDK Path

This may not be what you want, but being an eclipse user I had the same problem having duplicate sdk folders which were eating all my ssd space. Currently you can only change sdk path inside android studio project wide which is annoying. What I did instead was I copied all the previous android sdk files that I was using with eclipse to /Android Studio/sdk/ and then just changed the sdk path inside eclipse.

Now both android studio and eclipse are happy.

access key and value of object using *ngFor

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thenewdomain.org/ [R=301,NC,L]

Initialize a string in C to empty string

I think Amarghosh answered correctly. If you want to Initialize an empty string(without knowing the size) the best way is:

//this will create an empty string without no memory allocation. 
char str[]="";// it is look like {0}

But if you want initialize a string with a fixed memory allocation you can do:

// this is better if you know your string size.    
char str[5]=""; // it is look like {0, 0, 0, 0, 0} 

Downloading a file from spring controllers

In my case I'm generating some file on demand, so also url has to be generated.

For me works something like that:

@RequestMapping(value = "/files/{filename:.+}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/csv")
@ResponseBody
public FileSystemResource getFile(@PathVariable String filename) {
    String path = dataProvider.getFullPath(filename);
    return new FileSystemResource(new File(path));
}

Very important is mime type in produces and also that, that name of the file is a part of the link so you has to use @PathVariable.

HTML code looks like that:

<a th:href="@{|/dbreport/files/${file_name}|}">Download</a>

Where ${file_name} is generated by Thymeleaf in controller and is i.e.: result_20200225.csv, so that whole url behing link is: example.com/aplication/dbreport/files/result_20200225.csv.

After clicking on link browser asks me what to do with file - save or open.

SQL Server - transactions roll back on error?

If one of the inserts fail, or any part of the command fails, does SQL server roll back the transaction?

No, it does not.

If it does not rollback, do I have to send a second command to roll it back?

Sure, you should issue ROLLBACK instead of COMMIT.

If you want to decide whether to commit or rollback the transaction, you should remove the COMMIT sentence out of the statement, check the results of the inserts and then issue either COMMIT or ROLLBACK depending on the results of the check.

Count the number occurrences of a character in a string

No more than this IMHO - you can add the upper or lower methods

def count_letter_in_str(string,letter):
    return string.count(letter)

javascript - match string against the array of regular expressions

You can join all regular expressions into single one. This way the string is scanned only once. Even with a sligthly more complex regular expression.

var thisExpressions = [ /something/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisString = 'else';


function matchInArray(str, expr) {
    var fullExpr = new RegExp(expr
        .map(x=>x.source) // Just if you need to provide RegExp instances instead of strings or ...
        // .map(x=>x.substring(1, x.length -2)  // ...if you need to provide strings enclosed by "/" like in original question.
        .join("|")
    )
    return str.match(fullExpr);

};


if (matchInArray(thisString, thisExpressions)) {
    console.log ("Match!!");
} 

In fact, even with this approach, if you need check the same expression set against multiple strings, this is a few suboptimal because you are building (and compiling) the same regular expression each time the function is called.

Better approach would be to use a function builder like this:

var thisExpressions = [ /something/, /something_else/, /and_something_else/];
var thisString = 'else';

function matchInArray_builder(expr) {
    var fullExpr = new RegExp(expr
        .map(x=>x.source) // Just if you need to provide RegExp instances instead of strings or ...
        // .map(x=>x.substring(1, x.length -2)  // ...if you need to provide strings enclosed by "/" like in original question.
        .join("|")
    )   

    return function (str) {
        return str.match(fullExpr);

    };
};  

var matchInArray = matchInArray_builder(thisExpressions);

if (matchInArray(thisString)) {
    console.log ("Match!!");
} 

Scheduling Python Script to run every hour accurately

One option is to write a C/C++ wrapper that executes the python script on a regular basis. Your end-user would run the C/C++ executable, which would remain running in the background, and periodically execute the python script. This may not be the best solution, and may not work if you don't know C/C++ or want to keep this 100% python. But it does seem like the most user-friendly approach, since people are used to clicking on executables. All of this assumes that python is installed on your end user's computer.

Another option is to use cron job/Task Scheduler but to put it in the installer as a script so your end user doesn't have to do it.

Check if value is in select list with JQuery

Here is another similar option. In my case, I'm checking values in another box as I build a select list. I kept running into undefined values when I would compare, so I set my check this way:

if ( $("#select-box option[value='" + thevalue + "']").val() === undefined) { //do stuff }

I've no idea if this approach is more expensive.

Get list of JSON objects with Spring RestTemplate

You can create POJO for each entry like,

class BitPay{
private String code;
private String name;
private double rate;
}

then using ParameterizedTypeReference of List of BitPay you can use as:

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
ResponseEntity<List<Employee>> response = restTemplate.exchange(
  "https://bitpay.com/api/rates",
  HttpMethod.GET,
  null,
  new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<BitPay>>(){});
List<Employee> employees = response.getBody();

How many bits is a "word"?

In addition to the other answers, a further example of the variability of word size (from one system to the next) is in the paper Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit by Aleph One:

We must remember that memory can only be addressed in multiples of the word size. A word in our case is 4 bytes, or 32 bits. So our 5 byte buffer is really going to take 8 bytes (2 words) of memory, and our 10 byte buffer is going to take 12 bytes (3 words) of memory.

How to reload / refresh model data from the server programmatically?

You're half way there on your own. To implement a refresh, you'd just wrap what you already have in a function on the scope:

function PersonListCtrl($scope, $http) {
  $scope.loadData = function () {
     $http.get('/persons').success(function(data) {
       $scope.persons = data;
     });
  };

  //initial load
  $scope.loadData();
}

then in your markup

<div ng-controller="PersonListCtrl">
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="person in persons">
            Name: {{person.name}}, Age {{person.age}}
        </li>
    </ul>
   <button ng-click="loadData()">Refresh</button>
</div>

As far as "accessing your model", all you'd need to do is access that $scope.persons array in your controller:

for example (just puedo code) in your controller:

$scope.addPerson = function() {
     $scope.persons.push({ name: 'Test Monkey' });
};

Then you could use that in your view or whatever you'd want to do.

Spring get current ApplicationContext

I think this link demonstrates the best way to get application context anywhere, even in the non-bean class. I find it very useful. Hope its the same for you. The below is the abstract code of it

Create a new class ApplicationContextProvider.java

package com.java2novice.spring;

import org.springframework.beans.BeansException;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware;

public class ApplicationContextProvider implements ApplicationContextAware{

    private static ApplicationContext context;

    public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() {
        return context;
    }

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ac)
            throws BeansException {
        context = ac;
    }
}

Add an entry in application-context.xml

<bean id="applicationContextProvider"
                        class="com.java2novice.spring.ApplicationContextProvider"/>

In annotations case (instead of application-context.xml)

@Component
public class ApplicationContextProvider implements ApplicationContextAware{
...
}

Get the context like this

TestBean tb = ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicationContext().getBean("testBean", TestBean.class);

Cheers!!

Angularjs how to upload multipart form data and a file?

First of all

  1. You don't need any special changes in the structure. I mean: html input tags.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<input accept="image/*" name="file" ng-value="fileToUpload"_x000D_
       value="{{fileToUpload}}" file-model="fileToUpload"_x000D_
       set-file-data="fileToUpload = value;" _x000D_
       type="file" id="my_file" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

1.2 create own directive,

_x000D_
_x000D_
.directive("fileModel",function() {_x000D_
 return {_x000D_
  restrict: 'EA',_x000D_
  scope: {_x000D_
   setFileData: "&"_x000D_
  },_x000D_
  link: function(scope, ele, attrs) {_x000D_
   ele.on('change', function() {_x000D_
    scope.$apply(function() {_x000D_
     var val = ele[0].files[0];_x000D_
     scope.setFileData({ value: val });_x000D_
    });_x000D_
   });_x000D_
  }_x000D_
 }_x000D_
})
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

  1. In module with $httpProvider add dependency like ( Accept, Content-Type etc) with multipart/form-data. (Suggestion would be, accept response in json format) For e.g:

$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Accept'] = 'application/json, text/javascript'; $httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8';

  1. Then create separate function in controller to handle form submit call. like for e.g below code:

  2. In service function handle "responseType" param purposely so that server should not throw "byteerror".

  3. transformRequest, to modify request format with attached identity.

  4. withCredentials : false, for HTTP authentication information.

_x000D_
_x000D_
in controller:_x000D_
_x000D_
  // code this accordingly, so that your file object _x000D_
  // will be picked up in service call below._x000D_
  fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file); _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
in service:_x000D_
_x000D_
  .service('fileUpload', ['$http', 'ajaxService',_x000D_
    function($http, ajaxService) {_x000D_
_x000D_
      this.uploadFileToUrl = function(data) {_x000D_
        var data = {}; //file object _x000D_
_x000D_
        var fd = new FormData();_x000D_
        fd.append('file', data.file);_x000D_
_x000D_
        $http.post("endpoint server path to whom sending file", fd, {_x000D_
            withCredentials: false,_x000D_
            headers: {_x000D_
              'Content-Type': undefined_x000D_
            },_x000D_
            transformRequest: angular.identity,_x000D_
            params: {_x000D_
              fd_x000D_
            },_x000D_
            responseType: "arraybuffer"_x000D_
          })_x000D_
          .then(function(response) {_x000D_
            var data = response.data;_x000D_
            var status = response.status;_x000D_
            console.log(data);_x000D_
_x000D_
            if (status == 200 || status == 202) //do whatever in success_x000D_
            else // handle error in  else if needed _x000D_
          })_x000D_
          .catch(function(error) {_x000D_
            console.log(error.status);_x000D_
_x000D_
            // handle else calls_x000D_

Why do table names in SQL Server start with "dbo"?

dbo is the default schema in SQL Server. You can create your own schemas to allow you to better manage your object namespace.

Extract XML Value in bash script

I agree with Charles Duffy that a proper XML parser is the right way to go.

But as to what's wrong with your sed command (or did you do it on purpose?).

  • $data was not quoted, so $data is subject to shell's word splitting, filename expansion among other things. One of the consequences being that the spacing in the XML snippet is not preserved.

So given your specific XML structure, this modified sed command should work

title=$(sed -ne '/title/{s/.*<title>\(.*\)<\/title>.*/\1/p;q;}' <<< "$data")

Basically for the line that contains title, extract the text between the tags, then quit (so you don't extract the 2nd <title>)

How to get the current directory in a C program?

Use getcwd

#include <stdio.h>  /* defines FILENAME_MAX */
//#define WINDOWS  /* uncomment this line to use it for windows.*/
#ifdef WINDOWS
#include <direct.h>
#define GetCurrentDir _getcwd
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#define GetCurrentDir getcwd
#endif

int main(){
  char buff[FILENAME_MAX];
  GetCurrentDir( buff, FILENAME_MAX );
  printf("Current working dir: %s\n", buff);
  return 1;
}

OR

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

main() {
char *buf;
buf=(char *)malloc(100*sizeof(char));
getcwd(buf,100);
printf("\n %s \n",buf);
}

Change text (html) with .animate

The animate(..) function' signature is:

.animate( properties, options );

And it says the following about the parameter properties:

properties A map of CSS properties that the animation will move toward.

text is not a CSS property, this is why the function isn't working as you expected.

Do you want to fade the text out? Do you want to move it? I might be able to provide an alternative.

Have a look at the following fiddle.

Convert JSON String to JSON Object c#

if you don't want or need a typed object try:

phpinfo() - is there an easy way for seeing it?

Use the command line.

Something like that? Idk!

jQuery-- Populate select from json

That work fine in Ajax call back to update select from JSON object

function UpdateList() {
    var lsUrl = '@Url.Action("Action", "Controller")';

    $.get(lsUrl, function (opdata) {

        $.each(opdata, function (key, value) {
            $('#myselect').append('<option value=' + key + '>' + value + '</option>');
        });

python dataframe pandas drop column using int

If you have two columns with the same name. One simple way is to manually rename the columns like this:-

df.columns = ['column1', 'column2', 'column3']

Then you can drop via column index as you requested, like this:-

df.drop(df.columns[1], axis=1, inplace=True)

df.column[1] will drop index 1.

Remember axis 1 = columns and axis 0 = rows.

UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32

In short:

  • UTF-8: Variable-width encoding, backwards compatible with ASCII. ASCII characters (U+0000 to U+007F) take 1 byte, code points U+0080 to U+07FF take 2 bytes, code points U+0800 to U+FFFF take 3 bytes, code points U+10000 to U+10FFFF take 4 bytes. Good for English text, not so good for Asian text.
  • UTF-16: Variable-width encoding. Code points U+0000 to U+FFFF take 2 bytes, code points U+10000 to U+10FFFF take 4 bytes. Bad for English text, good for Asian text.
  • UTF-32: Fixed-width encoding. All code points take four bytes. An enormous memory hog, but fast to operate on. Rarely used.

In long: see Wikipedia: UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32.

Iterating through directories with Python

The actual walk through the directories works as you have coded it. If you replace the contents of the inner loop with a simple print statement you can see that each file is found:

import os
rootdir = 'C:/Users/sid/Desktop/test'

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        print os.path.join(subdir, file)

If you still get errors when running the above, please provide the error message.


Updated for Python3

import os
rootdir = 'C:/Users/sid/Desktop/test'

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        print(os.path.join(subdir, file))

How do I subscribe to all topics of a MQTT broker

Concrete example

mosquitto.org is very active (at the time of this posting). This is a nice smoke test for a MQTT subscriber linux device:

mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -t "#" -v

The "#" is a wildcard for topics and returns all messages (topics): the server had a lot of traffic, so it returned a 'firehose' of messages.

If your MQTT device publishes a topic of irisys/V4D-19230005/ to the test MQTT broker , then you could filter the messages:

mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -t "irisys/V4D-19230005/#" -v

Options:

  • -h the hostname (default MQTT port = 1883)
  • -t precedes the topic

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

So the way I would solve this problem is to make sure the two datetimes are in the right timezone.

I can see that you are using datetime.now() which will return the systems current time, with no tzinfo set.

tzinfo is the information attached to a datetime to let it know what timezone it is in. If you are using naive datetime you need to be consistent through out your system. I would highly recommend only using datetime.utcnow()

seeing as somewhere your are creating datetime that have tzinfo associated with them, what you need to do is make sure those are localized (has tzinfo associated) to the correct timezone.

Take a look at Delorean, it makes dealing with this sort of thing much easier.

Check if a string is html or not

Since the original request is not say the solution had to be a RegExp, just that an attempt to use a RegExp was being made. I will offer this up. It says something is HTML if a single child element can be parsed. Note, this will return false if the body contains only comments or CDATA or server directives.

const isHTML = (text) => {
  try {
    const fragment = new DOMParser().parseFromString(text,"text/html");
    return fragment.body.children.length>0
  } catch(error) { ; }  
  return false;
}

Can anyone confirm that phpMyAdmin AllowNoPassword works with MySQL databases?

I had a same problem, and I solved my problem.
First go to config.default.php and change

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 Offline Installer (ISO)

The ISO file that suggested in the accepted answer is still not complete. The very complete offline installer is about 24GB! There is only one way to get it. follow these steps:

  1. Download Web Installer from Microsoft Web Site
  2. Execute the Installer. NOTE: the installer is still a simple downloader for the real web-installer.
  3. After running the real web installer, Run Windows Task manager and find the real web installer path that is stored in your temp folder
  4. copy the real installer somewhere else. like C:\VS Community\
  5. Open Command Prompt and execute the installer that you copied to C:\VS Community\ with this argument: /Layout .
  6. Now installer will download the FULL offline installer to your selected folder!

Good Luck

HttpServletRequest get JSON POST data

Are you posting from a different source (so different port, or hostname)? If so, this very very recent topic I just answered might be helpful.

The problem was the XHR Cross Domain Policy, and a useful tip on how to get around it by using a technique called JSONP. The big downside is that JSONP does not support POST requests.

I know in the original post there is no mention of JavaScript, however JSON is usually used for JavaScript so that's why I jumped to that conclusion

What Are The Best Width Ranges for Media Queries

You can take a look here for a longer list of screen sizes and respective media queries.

Or go for Bootstrap media queries:

/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

/* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }

/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (max-width: 767px) { ... }

/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) { ... }

Additionally you might wanty to take a look at Foundation's media queries with the following default settings:

// Media Queries

$screenSmall: 768px !default;
$screenMedium: 1279px !default;
$screenXlarge: 1441px !default;

What is the difference between method overloading and overriding?

Method overriding is when a child class redefines the same method as a parent class, with the same parameters. For example, the standard Java class java.util.LinkedHashSet extends java.util.HashSet. The method add() is overridden in LinkedHashSet. If you have a variable that is of type HashSet, and you call its add() method, it will call the appropriate implementation of add(), based on whether it is a HashSet or a LinkedHashSet. This is called polymorphism.

Method overloading is defining several methods in the same class, that accept different numbers and types of parameters. In this case, the actual method called is decided at compile-time, based on the number and types of arguments. For instance, the method System.out.println() is overloaded, so that you can pass ints as well as Strings, and it will call a different version of the method.

How do I add indices to MySQL tables?

ALTER TABLE `table` ADD INDEX `product_id_index` (`product_id`)

Never compare integer to strings in MySQL. If id is int, remove the quotes.

How can I get the current screen orientation?

I just want to propose another alternative that will concern some of you :

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" 

implies that we explicitly declare the layout to be injected.

In case we want to keep the automatic injection thanks to the layout-land and layout folders. All you have to do is add it to the onCreate:

    if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        getSupportActionBar().hide();

    } else if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
        getSupportActionBar().show();
    }

Here, we display or not the actionbar depending on the orientation of the phone

How to set DateTime to null

This line:

eventCustom.DateTimeEnd = dateTimeEndResult = true ? (DateTime?)null : dateTimeEndResult;

is same as:

eventCustom.DateTimeEnd = dateTimeEndResult = (true ? (DateTime?)null : dateTimeEndResult);

because the conditional operator ? has a higher precedence than the assignment operator =. That's why you always get null for eventCustom.DateTimeEnd. (MSDN Ref)

Using jQuery, Restricting File Size Before Uploading

Like others have said, it's not possible with just JavaScript due to the security model of such.

If you are able to, I'd recommend one of the below solutions..both of which use a flash component for the client side validations; however, are wired up using Javascript/jQuery. Both work very well and can be used with any server-side tech.

How to change UIPickerView height

I wasn't able to follow any of the above advice.

I watched multiple tutorials and found this one the most beneficial:

I added the following code to set the new height inside the "viewDidLoad" method, which worked in my app.

UIPickerView *picker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 120.0)]; 
[self.view addSubview:picker];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.dataSource = self;

How to call python script on excel vba?

To those who are stuck wondering why a window flashes and goes away without doing anything, the problem may related to the RELATIVE path in your Python script. e.g. you used ".\". Even the Python script and Excel Workbook is in the same directory, the Current Directory may still be different. If you don't want to modify your code to change it to an absolute path. Just change your current Excel directory before you run the python script by:

ChDir ActiveWorkbook.Path

I'm just giving a example here. If the flash do appear, one of the first issues to check is the Current Working Directory.

How to shutdown my Jenkins safely?

You can kill Jenkins safely. It will catch SIGTERM and SIGINT and perform an orderly shutdown. However, if Jenkins was in the middle of building something, it will abort the builds and they will show up gray in the status display.

If you want to avoid this, you must put Jenkins into shutdown mode to prevent it from starting new builds and wait until currently running builds are done before killing Jenkins.

You can also use the Jenkins command line interface and tell Jenkins to safe-shutdown, which does the same. You can find more info on Jenkins cli at http://YOURJENKINS/cli

Broadcast Receiver within a Service

The better pattern is to create a standalone BroadcastReceiver. This insures that your app can respond to the broadcast, whether or not the Service is running. In fact, using this pattern may remove the need for a constant-running Service altogether.

Register the BroadcastReceiver in your Manifest, and create a separate class/file for it.

Eg:

<receiver android:name=".FooReceiver" >
    <intent-filter >
        <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

When the receiver runs, you simply pass an Intent (Bundle) to the Service, and respond to it in onStartCommand().

Eg:

public class FooReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // do your work quickly!
        // then call context.startService();
    }   
}

Retrieving a Foreign Key value with django-rest-framework serializers

Just use a related field without setting many=True.

Note that also because you want the output named category_name, but the actual field is category, you need to use the source argument on the serializer field.

The following should give you the output you need...

class ItemSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    category_name = serializers.RelatedField(source='category', read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Item
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'category_name')

How to check if a json key exists?

A better way, instead of using a conditional like:

if (json.has("club")) {
    String club = json.getString("club"));
 }

is to simply use the existing method optString(), like this:

String club = json.optString("club);

the optString("key") method will return an empty String if the key does not exist and won't, therefore, throw you an exception.

Get all object attributes in Python?

You can use dir(your_object) to get the attributes and getattr(your_object, your_object_attr) to get the values

usage :

for att in dir(your_object):
    print (att, getattr(your_object,att))

How to check if an email address is real or valid using PHP

You can't verify (with enough accuracy to rely on) if an email actually exists using just a single PHP method. You can send an email to that account, but even that alone won't verify the account exists (see below). You can, at least, verify it's at least formatted like one

if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
    //Email is valid
}

You can add another check if you want. Parse the domain out and then run checkdnsrr

if(checkdnsrr($domain)) {
     // Domain at least has an MX record, necessary to receive email
}

Many people get to this point and are still unconvinced there's not some hidden method out there. Here are some notes for you to consider if you're bound and determined to validate email:

  1. Spammers also know the "connection trick" (where you start to send an email and rely on the server to bounce back at that point). One of the other answers links to this library which has this caveat

    Some mail servers will silently reject the test message, to prevent spammers from checking against their users' emails and filter the valid emails, so this function might not work properly with all mail servers.

    In other words, if there's an invalid address you might not get an invalid address response. In fact, virtually all mail servers come with an option to accept all incoming mail (here's how to do it with Postfix). The answer linking to the validation library neglects to mention that caveat.

  2. Spam blacklists. They blacklist by IP address and if your server is constantly doing verification connections you run the risk of winding up on Spamhaus or another block list. If you get blacklisted, what good does it do you to validate the email address?

  3. If it's really that important to verify an email address, the accepted way is to force the user to respond to an email. Send them a full email with a link they have to click to be verified. It's not spammy, and you're guaranteed that any responses have a valid address.

'printf' vs. 'cout' in C++

With primitives, it probably doesn't matter entirely which one you use. I say where it gets usefulness is when you want to output complex objects.

For example, if you have a class,

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

class Something
{
public:
        Something(int x, int y, int z) : a(x), b(y), c(z) { }
        int a;
        int b;
        int c;

        friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Something&);
};

ostream& operator<<(ostream& o, const Something& s)
{
        o << s.a << ", " << s.b << ", " << s.c;
        return o;
}

int main(void)
{
        Something s(3, 2, 1);

        // output with printf
        printf("%i, %i, %i\n", s.a, s.b, s.c);

        // output with cout
        cout << s << endl;

        return 0;
}

Now the above might not seem all that great, but let's suppose you have to output this in multiple places in your code. Not only that, let's say you add a field "int d." With cout, you only have to change it in once place. However, with printf, you'd have to change it in possibly a lot of places and not only that, you have to remind yourself which ones to output.

With that said, with cout, you can reduce a lot of times spent with maintenance of your code and not only that if you re-use the object "Something" in a new application, you don't really have to worry about output.

  3. Change "Graphics" to "Software".

Upload a file to Amazon S3 with NodeJS

Thanks to David as his solution helped me come up with my solution for uploading multi-part files from my Heroku hosted site to S3 bucket. I did it using formidable to handle incoming form and fs to get the file content. Hopefully, it may help you.

api.service.ts

public upload(files): Observable<any> {  
    const formData: FormData = new FormData(); 
    files.forEach(file => {
      // create a new multipart-form for every file 
      formData.append('file', file, file.name);

The entitlements specified...profile. (0xE8008016). Error iOS 4.2

For me in Xcode 5.1 I was getting The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning profile. when trying to test the app on my device. Device Development Certificate has to expire Feb 2015.

Issue was resolved:

Selected Target->Capabilities, under GameCenter, here I was getting error on GameCenter entitlement as it was not added to project, although first version of application was released via same XCode 5.1 but there were no errors like this before.

Below, a button was given with title Fix Issue. When clicked it added the GameCenter entitlement and issue was resolved.

After wards the screen looks like:

enter image description here

For me, there was nothing to do with certificate. App now runs successfully on the device.

List names of all tables in a SQL Server 2012 schema

Your should really use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views in your database:

USE <your_database_name>
GO
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

You can then filter that by table schema and/or table type, e.g.

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'

Printing with sed or awk a line following a matching pattern

If pattern match, copy next line into the pattern buffer, delete a return, then quit -- side effect is to print.

sed '/pattern/ { N; s/.*\n//; q }; d'

What is the difference between a heuristic and an algorithm?

Heuristics are algorithms, so in that sense there is none, however, heuristics take a 'guess' approach to problem solving, yielding a 'good enough' answer, rather than finding a 'best possible' solution.

A good example is where you have a very hard (read NP-complete) problem you want a solution for but don't have the time to arrive to it, so have to use a good enough solution based on a heuristic algorithm, such as finding a solution to a travelling salesman problem using a genetic algorithm.

Using If else in SQL Select statement

You can use simply if statement under select query as like I have described below

if(some_condition,if_satisfied,not_satisfied)

SELECT IF(IDParent < 1,ID,IDParent)  FROM yourTable ;

How to do sed like text replace with python?

Authoring a homegrown sed replacement in pure Python with no external commands or additional dependencies is a noble task laden with noble landmines. Who would have thought?

Nonetheless, it is feasible. It's also desirable. We've all been there, people: "I need to munge some plaintext files, but I only have Python, two plastic shoelaces, and a moldy can of bunker-grade Maraschino cherries. Help."

In this answer, we offer a best-of-breed solution cobbling together the awesomeness of prior answers without all of that unpleasant not-awesomeness. As plundra notes, David Miller's otherwise top-notch answer writes the desired file non-atomically and hence invites race conditions (e.g., from other threads and/or processes attempting to concurrently read that file). That's bad. Plundra's otherwise excellent answer solves that issue while introducing yet more – including numerous fatal encoding errors, a critical security vulnerability (failing to preserve the permissions and other metadata of the original file), and premature optimization replacing regular expressions with low-level character indexing. That's also bad.

Awesomeness, unite!

Permission denied for relation

Make sure you log into psql as the owner of the tables. to find out who own the tables use \dt

psql -h CONNECTION_STRING DBNAME -U OWNER_OF_THE_TABLES

then you can run the GRANTS

CSS3 Continuous Rotate Animation (Just like a loading sundial)

I made a small library that lets you easily use a throbber without images.

It uses CSS3 but falls back onto JavaScript if the browser doesn't support it.

// First argument is a reference to a container element in which you
// wish to add a throbber to.
// Second argument is the duration in which you want the throbber to
// complete one full circle.
var throbber = throbbage(document.getElementById("container"), 1000);

// Start the throbber.
throbber.play();

// Pause the throbber.
throbber.pause();

Example.

Adding a line break in MySQL INSERT INTO text

in an actual SQL query, you just add a newline

INSERT INTO table (text) VALUES ('hi this is some text
and this is a linefeed.
and another');
