How to mount the android img file under linux?

In Android file system, "system.img" and "userdata.img" are VMS Alpha executable. "system.img" and "userdata.img" have the contents of /system and /data directory on root file system. They are mapped on NAND devices with yaffs2 file system. Now, yaffs2 image file can not be mounted on linux PC. If you can, maybe you got some rom that not packed in yaffs2 file system. You can check those rom file by execute the command:

file <system.img/userdata.img>

If it show "VMS Alpha executable" then you can use "unyaffs" to extract it.

Setting HTTP headers

Never mind, I figured it out - I used the Set() method on Header() (doh!)

My handler looks like this now:

func saveHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // allow cross domain AJAX requests
    w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
}

Maybe this will help someone as caffeine deprived as myself sometime :)

How do I convert a datetime to date?

Answer updated to Python 3.7 and more

Here is how you can turn a date-and-time object

(aka datetime.datetime object, the one that is stored inside models.DateTimeField django model field)

into a date object (aka datetime.date object):

from datetime import datetime

#your date-and-time object
# let's supposed it is defined as
datetime_element = datetime(2020, 7, 10, 12, 56, 54, 324893)

# where
# datetime_element = datetime(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, milliseconds)

# WHAT YOU WANT: your date-only object
date_element = datetime_element.date()

And just to be clear, if you print those elements, here is the output :

print(datetime_element)

2020-07-10 12:56:54.324893


print(date_element)

2020-07-10

Is there a float input type in HTML5?

You can use the step attribute to the input type number:

<input type="number" id="totalAmt" step="0.1"></input>

step="any" will allow any decimal.
step="1" will allow no decimal.
step="0.5" will allow 0.5; 1; 1.5; ...
step="0.1" will allow 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; ...

Xcode 5 and iOS 7: Architecture and Valid architectures

My understanding from Apple Docs.

  • What is Architectures (ARCHS) into Xcode build-settings?
    • Specifies architecture/s to which the binary is TARGETED. When specified more that one architecture, the generated binary may contain object code for each of the specified architecture.
  • What is Valid Architectures (VALID_ARCHS) into Xcode build-settings?

    • Specifies architecture/s for which the binary may be BUILT.
    • During build process, this list is intersected with ARCHS and the resulting list specifies the architectures the binary can run on.
  • Example :- One iOS project has following build-settings into Xcode.

    • ARCHS = armv7 armv7s
    • VALID_ARCHS = armv7 armv7s arm64
    • In this case, binary will be built for armv7 armv7s arm64 architectures. But the same binary will run on ONLY ARCHS = armv7 armv7s.

Error: Argument is not a function, got undefined

I got sane error with LoginController, which I used in main index.html. I found two ways to resolve:

  1. setting $controllerProvider.allowGlobals(), I found that comment in Angular change-list "this option might be handy for migrating old apps, but please don't use it in new ones!" original comment on Angular

    app.config(['$controllerProvider', function($controllerProvider) { $controllerProvider.allowGlobals(); }]);

  2. wrong contructor of registering controller

before

LoginController.$inject = ['$rootScope', '$scope', '$location'];

now

app.controller('LoginController', ['$rootScope', '$scope', '$location', LoginController]);

'app' come from app.js

var MyApp = {};
var app = angular.module('MyApp ', ['app.services']);
var services = angular.module('app.services', ['ngResource', 'ngCookies', 'ngAnimate', 'ngRoute']);

Linux Process States

Assuming your process is a single thread, and that you're using blocking I/O, your process will block waiting for the I/O to complete. The kernel will pick another process to run in the meantime based on niceness, priority, last run time, etc. If there are no other runnable processes, the kernel won't run any; instead, it'll tell the hardware the machine is idle (which will result in lower power consumption).

Processes that are waiting for I/O to complete typically show up in state D in, e.g., ps and top.

How to print all session variables currently set?

Echo the session object as json. I like json because I have a browser extension that nicely formats json.

CSS border less than 1px

A pixel is the smallest unit value to render something with, but you can trick thickness with optical illusions by modifying colors (the eye can only see up to a certain resolution too).

Here is a test to prove this point:

_x000D_
_x000D_
div { border-color: blue; border-style: solid; margin: 2px; }

div.b1 { border-width: 1px; }
div.b2 { border-width: 0.1em; }
div.b3 { border-width: 0.01em; }
div.b4 { border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(160,160,255); }
_x000D_
<div class="b1">Some text</div>
<div class="b2">Some text</div>
<div class="b3">Some text</div>
<div class="b4">Some text</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Output

enter image description here

Which gives the illusion that the last DIV has a smaller border width, because the blue border blends more with the white background.


Edit: Alternate solution

Alpha values may also be used to simulate the same effect, without the need to calculate and manipulate RGB values.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.container {
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 1px;
  
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.border-100 { border-color: rgba(0,0,255,1); }
.border-75 { border-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.75); }
.border-50 { border-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.5); }
.border-25 { border-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.25); }
_x000D_
<div class="container border-100">Container 1 (alpha = 1)</div>
<div class="container border-75">Container 2 (alpha = 0.75)</div>
<div class="container border-50">Container 3 (alpha = 0.5)</div>
<div class="container border-25">Container 4 (alpha = 0.25)</div>

Is there a “not in” operator in JavaScript for checking object properties?

As already said by Jordão, just negate it:

if (!(id in tutorTimes)) { ... }

Note: The above test if tutorTimes has a property with the name specified in id, anywhere in the prototype chain. For example "valueOf" in tutorTimes returns true because it is defined in Object.prototype.

If you want to test if a property doesn't exist in the current object, use hasOwnProperty:

if (!tutorTimes.hasOwnProperty(id)) { ... }

Or if you might have a key that is hasOwnPropery you can use this:

if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(tutorTimes,id)) { ... }

Order columns through Bootstrap4

This can also be achieved with the CSS "Order" property and a media query.

Something like this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    #first {

    }
    #second {
        order: 4;
    }
    #third {
        order: 1;
    }
    #fourth {
        order: 3;
    }
}

How to synchronize a static variable among threads running different instances of a class in Java?

There are several ways to synchronize access to a static variable.

  1. Use a synchronized static method. This synchronizes on the class object.

    public class Test {
        private static int count = 0;
    
        public static synchronized void incrementCount() {
            count++;
        }
    } 
    
  2. Explicitly synchronize on the class object.

    public class Test {
        private static int count = 0;
    
        public void incrementCount() {
            synchronized (Test.class) {
                count++;
            }
        }
    } 
    
  3. Synchronize on some other static object.

    public class Test {
        private static int count = 0;
        private static final Object countLock = new Object();
    
        public void incrementCount() {
            synchronized (countLock) {
                count++;
            }
        }
    } 
    

Method 3 is the best in many cases because the lock object is not exposed outside of your class.

Jquery Setting Value of Input Field

use this code for set value in input tag by another id.

$(".formdata").val(document.getElementById("fsd").innerHTML);

or use this code for set value in input tag using classname="formdata"

$(".formdata").val("hello");

Java, "Variable name" cannot be resolved to a variable

public void setHoursWorked(){
    hoursWorked = hours;
}

You haven't defined hours inside that method. hours is not passed in as a parameter, it's not declared as a variable, and it's not being used as a class member, so you get that error.

Minimal web server using netcat

Donno how or why but i manage to find this around and it works for me, i had the problem I wanted to return the result of executing a bash

$ while true; do { echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'; sh test; } | nc -l 8080; done

NOTE: This command was taken from: http://www.razvantudorica.com/08/web-server-in-one-line-of-bash

this executes bash script test and return the result to a browser client connecting to the server running this command on port 8080

My script does this ATM

$ nano test

Something like:

var street = divided[1];

Is probably going to be easiest

PowerShell: Store Entire Text File Contents in Variable

Get-Content grabs data and dumps it into an array, line by line. Assuming there aren't other special requirements than you listed, you could just save your content into a variable?

$file = Get-Content c:\file\whatever.txt

Running just $file will return the full contents. Then you can just do $file.Count (because arrays already have a count method built in) to get the total # of lines.

Hope this helps! I'm not a scripting wiz, but this seemed easier to me than a lot of the stuff above.

How to master AngularJS?

Please keep an eye on the mailing list for problems/solutions discussed by community members. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/angular . It's been really useful to me.

Error 0x80005000 and DirectoryServices

I had this error as well and for me it was an OU with a forward slash in the name: "File/Folder Access Groups".

This forum thread pointed me in the right direction. In the end, calling .Replace("/","\\/") on each path value before use solved the problem for me.

Where are SQL Server connection attempts logged?

Another way to check on connection attempts is to look at the server's event log. On my Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise machine I opened the server manager (right-click on Computer and select Manage. Then choose Diagnostics -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Applcation. You can filter the log to isolate the MSSQLSERVER events. I found a number that looked like this

Login failed for user 'bogus'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [CLIENT: 10.12.3.126]

Math functions in AngularJS bindings

I think the best way to do it is by creating a filter, like this:

myModule.filter('ceil', function() {
    return function(input) {
        return Math.ceil(input);
    };
});

then the markup looks like this:

<p>The percentage is {{ (100*count/total) | ceil }}%</p>

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

Since Java is a statically typed language, I would expect that a abs-method which takes an int returns an int, if it expects a float returns a float, for a Double, return a Double. Maybe it could return always the boxed or unboxed type for doubles and Doubles and so on.

So you need one method per type, but now you have a new problem: For byte, short, int, long the range for negative values is 1 bigger than for positive values.

So what should be returned for the method

byte abs (byte in) {
   // @todo
}

If the user calls abs on -128? You could always return the next bigger type so that the range is guaranteed to fit to all possible input values. This will lead to problems for long, where no normal bigger type exists, and make the user always cast the value down after testing - maybe a hassle.

The second option is to throw an arithmetic exception. This will prevent casting and checking the return type for situations where the input is known to be limited, such that X.MIN_VALUE can't happen. Think of MONTH, represented as int.

byte abs (byte in) throws ArithmeticException {
   if (in == Byte.MIN_VALUE) throw new ArithmeticException ("abs called on Byte.MIN_VALUE"); 
   return (in < 0) ? (byte) -in : in; 
}

The "let's ignore the rare cases of MIN_VALUE" habit is not an option. First make the code work - then make it fast. If the user needs a faster, but buggy solution, he should write it himself. The simplest solution that might work means: simple, but not too simple.

Since the code doesn't rely on state, the method can and should be made static. This allows for a quick test:

public static void main (String args []) {
    System.out.println (abs(new Byte ( "7")));
    System.out.println (abs(new Byte ("-7")));
    System.out.println (abs((byte)  7));
    System.out.println (abs((byte) -7));
    System.out.println (abs(new Byte ( "127")));
    try
    {
        System.out.println (abs(new Byte ("-128")));
    }
    catch (ArithmeticException ae)
    {
        System.out.println ("Integer: " + Math.abs (new Integer ("-128")));
    }
    System.out.println (abs((byte)  127));
    System.out.println (abs((byte) -128));
}

I catch the first exception and let it run into the second, just for demonstration.

There is a bad habit in programming, which is that programmers care much more for fast than for correct code. What a pity!


If you're curious why there is one more negative than positive value, I have a diagram for you.

jQuery: how to get which button was clicked upon form submission?

This one worked for me

$('#Form').submit(function(){
var btn= $(this).find("input[type=submit]:focus").val();
alert('you have clicked '+ btn);

}

MS-DOS Batch file pause with enter key

The only valid answer would be the pause command.

Though this does not wait specifically for the 'ENTER' key, it waits for any key that is pressed.

And just in case you want it convenient for the user, pause is the best option.

Bootstrap control with multiple "data-toggle"

I use href to load the modal and leave data-toggle for the tooltip:

<a

    href="javascript:$('#id').modal('show');"

Deserialize a json string to an object in python

I prefer to add some checking of the fields, e.g. so you can catch errors like when you get invalid json, or not the json you were expecting, so I used namedtuples:

from collections import namedtuple
payload = namedtuple('payload', ['action', 'method', 'data'])
def deserialize_payload(json):
    kwargs =  dict([(field, json[field]) for field in payload._fields]) 
    return payload(**kwargs)

this will let give you nice errors when the json you are parsing does not match the thing you want it to parse

>>> json = {"action":"print","method":"onData","data":"Madan Mohan"}
>>> deserialize_payload(json)
payload(action='print', method='onData', data='Madan Mohan')
>>> badjson = {"error":"404","info":"page not found"}
>>> deserialize_payload(badjson)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in deserialize_payload
KeyError: 'action'

if you want to parse nested relations, e.g. '{"parent":{"child":{"name":"henry"}}}' you can still use the namedtuples, and even a more reusable function

Person = namedtuple("Person", ['parent'])
Parent = namedtuple("Parent", ['child'])
Child = namedtuple('Child', ['name'])
def deserialize_json_to_namedtuple(json, namedtuple):
    return namedtuple(**dict([(field, json[field]) for field in namedtuple._fields]))

def deserialize_person(json):
     json['parent']['child']  = deserialize_json_to_namedtuple(json['parent']['child'], Child)
     json['parent'] =  deserialize_json_to_namedtuple(json['parent'], Parent) 
     person = deserialize_json_to_namedtuple(json, Person)
     return person

giving you

>>> deserialize_person({"parent":{"child":{"name":"henry"}}})
Person(parent=Parent(child=Child(name='henry')))
>>> deserialize_person({"error":"404","info":"page not found"})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in deserialize_person
KeyError: 'parent'

Setting up a JavaScript variable from Spring model by using Thymeleaf

According to the error message, you declared myLoc as a pointer to an NSInteger (NSInteger *myLoc) rather than an actual NSInteger (NSInteger myLoc). It needs to be the latter.

How can I git stash a specific file?

EDIT: Since git 2.13, there is a command to save a specific path to the stash: git stash push <path>. For example:

git stash push -m welcome_cart app/views/cart/welcome.thtml

OLD ANSWER:

You can do that using git stash --patch (or git stash -p) -- you'll enter interactive mode where you'll be presented with each hunk that was changed. Use n to skip the files that you don't want to stash, y when you encounter the one that you want to stash, and q to quit and leave the remaining hunks unstashed. a will stash the shown hunk and the rest of the hunks in that file.

Not the most user-friendly approach, but it gets the work done if you really need it.

Creating a list/array in excel using VBA to get a list of unique names in a column

FWIW, here's the dictionary thing. After setting a reference to MS Scripting. You can jack around with the array size of avInput to match your needs.

Dim avInput As Variant
Dim uvals As Dictionary
Dim i As Integer
Dim rop As Range

avInput = Sheets("data").UsedRange
Set uvals = New Dictionary


For i = 1 To UBound(avInput, 1)

    Else
        uvals.Item(avInput(i, 1)) = uvals.Item(avInput(i, 1)) + 1
    End If
Next i

ReDim avInput(1 To uvals.Count)
i = 1

For Each kv In uvals.Keys
    avInput(i) = kv
    i = i + 1
Next kv

Set rop = Sheets("sheet2").Range("a1")
rop.Resize(UBound(avInput, 1), 1) = Application.Transpose(avInput)

Create table variable in MySQL

MYSQL 8 does, in a way:

MYSQL 8 supports JSON tables, so you could load your results into a JSON variable and select from that variable using the JSON_TABLE() command.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x9c

http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html#the-unicode-type

str = unicode(str, errors='replace')

or

str = unicode(str, errors='ignore')

Note: This will strip out (ignore) the characters in question returning the string without them.

For me this is ideal case since I'm using it as protection against non-ASCII input which is not allowed by my application.

Alternatively: Use the open method from the codecs module to read in the file:

import codecs
with codecs.open(file_name, 'r', encoding='utf-8',
                 errors='ignore') as fdata:

JSHint and jQuery: '$' is not defined

If you're using an IntelliJ editor, under

You can type in anything, for instance console:false, and it will add that to the list (.jshintrc) as well - as a global.

PHP add elements to multidimensional array with array_push

I know the topic is old, but I just fell on it after a google search so... here is another solution:

$array_merged = array_merge($array_going_first, $array_going_second);

This one seems pretty clean to me, it works just fine!

How do I measure separate CPU core usage for a process?

The ps solution was nearly what I needed and with some bash thrown in does exactly what the original question asked for: to see per-core usage of specific processes

This shows per-core usage of multi-threaded processes too.

Use like: cpustat `pgrep processname` `pgrep otherprocessname` ...

#!/bin/bash

pids=()
while [ $# != 0 ]; do
        pids=("${pids[@]}" "$1")
        shift
done

if [ -z "${pids[0]}" ]; then
        echo "Usage: $0 <pid1> [pid2] ..."
        exit 1
fi

for pid in "${pids[@]}"; do
        if [ ! -e /proc/$pid ]; then
                echo "Error: pid $pid doesn't exist"
                exit 1
        fi
done

while [ true ]; do
        echo -e "\033[H\033[J"
        for pid in "${pids[@]}"; do
                ps -p $pid -L -o pid,tid,psr,pcpu,comm=
        done
        sleep 1
done

Note: These stats are based on process lifetime, not the last X seconds, so you'll need to restart your process to reset the counter.

Can I append an array to 'formdata' in javascript?

use "xxx[]" as name of the field in formdata (you will get an array of - stringified objects - in you case)

so within your loop

$('.tag-form').each(function(i){
            article = $(this).find('input[name="article"]').val();
            gender = $(this).find('input[name="gender"]').val();
            brand = $(this).find('input[name="brand"]').val();
            this_tag = new Array();
            this_tag.article = article;
            this_tag.gender = gender;
            this_tag.brand = brand;
            //tags.push(this_tag);    
            formdata.append('tags[]', this_tag);
...

Query comparing dates in SQL

If You are comparing only with the date vale, then converting it to date (not datetime) will work

select id,numbers_from,created_date,amount_numbers,SMS_text 
 from Test_Table
 where 
 created_date <= convert(date,'2013-04-12',102)

This conversion is also applicable during using GetDate() function

remove borders around html input

In my case I am using a CSS framework which adds box-shadow, so I had to also add

How to convert float number to Binary?

Keep multiplying the number after decimal by 2 till it becomes 1.0:

0.25*2 = 0.50
0.50*2 = 1.00

and the result is in reverse order being .01

Check if input value is empty and display an alert

$('#submit').click(function(){
   if($('#myMessage').val() == ''){
      alert('Input can not be left blank');
   }
});

Update

If you don't want whitespace also u can remove them using jQuery.trim()

Description: Remove the whitespace from the beginning and end of a string.

$('#submit').click(function(){
   if($.trim($('#myMessage').val()) == ''){
      alert('Input can not be left blank');
   }
});

React PropTypes : Allow different types of PropTypes for one prop

For documentation purpose, it's better to list the string values that are legal:

    PropTypes.oneOf([ 'SMALL', 'LARGE' ]),
]),

Passing a dictionary to a function as keyword parameters

Figured it out for myself in the end. It is simple, I was just missing the ** operator to unpack the dictionary

So my example becomes:

d = dict(p1=1, p2=2)
def f2(p1,p2):
    print p1, p2
f2(**d)

Kill tomcat service running on any port, Windows

IF "%killpid%"=="" GOTO Error

ECHO Killing %killpid%!
taskkill /F /PID %killpid%

GOTO End
:Error
ECHO Nothing to kill! Bye bye!!

golang why don't we have a set datastructure

Partly, because Go doesn't have generics (so you would need one set-type for every type, or fall back on reflection, which is rather inefficient).

Partly, because if all you need is "add/remove individual elements to a set" and "relatively space-efficient", you can get a fair bit of that simply by using a map[yourtype]bool (and set the value to true for any element in the set) or, for more space efficiency, you can use an empty struct as the value and use _, present = the_setoid[key] to check for presence.

Disable all dialog boxes in Excel while running VB script?

Have you tried using the ConflictResolution:=xlLocalSessionChanges parameter in the SaveAs method?

As so:

Public Sub example()

Application.EnableEvents = False

For Each element In sArray
    XLSMToXLSX(element)
Next element

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
End Sub

        If Right(WorkFile, 4) <> "xlsx" Then
            Workbooks.Open Filename:=myPath & WorkFile

            Application.DisplayAlerts = False
            Application.EnableEvents = False

            ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _

javac: file not found: first.java Usage: javac <options> <source files>

For Windows, javac should be a command that you can run from anywhere. If it isn't (which is strange in and of itself), you need to run javac from where it's located, but navigate to the exact location of your Java class file in order to compile it successfully.

By default, javac will compile a file name relative to the current path, and if it can't find the file, it won't compile it.

Please note: You would only be able to use jdk1.8.0 to actually compile, since that would be the only library set that has javac contained in it. Remember: the Java Runtime Environment runs Java classes; the Java Development Kit compiles them.

URL to compose a message in Gmail (with full Gmail interface and specified to, bcc, subject, etc.)

It's worth pointing out that if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you may want to use the URL approach because you can customize which account to compose from.

e.g.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox?compose=new   
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox?compose=new

Or if you know the email address you are sending from, replace the numeric index with the email address:

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/[email protected]/#inbox?compose=new

How to scale Docker containers in production

Deis automates scaling of Docker containers (among other things).

Deis (pronounced DAY-iss) is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy and manage applications on your own servers. Deis builds upon Docker and CoreOS to provide a lightweight PaaS with a Heroku-inspired workflow.

Here is the developer workflow:

deis create myapp                      # create a new deis app called "myapp"
git push deis master                   # built with a buildpack or dockerfile
deis scale web=16 worker=4             # scale up docker containers

Deis automatically deploys your Docker containers across a CoreOS cluster and configures the Nginx routers to route requests to healthy Docker containers. If a host dies, containers are automatically restarted on another host in seconds. Just browse to the proxy URL or use deis open to hit your app.

Some other useful commands:

deis config:set DATABASE_URL=          # attach to a database w/ an envvar
deis run make test                     # run ephemeral containers for one-off tasks
deis logs                              # get aggregated logs for troubleshooting
deis rollback v23                      # rollback to a prior release

To see this in action, check out the terminal video at http://deis.io/overview/. You can also learn about Deis concepts or jump right into deploying your own private PaaS.

Correct way to populate an Array with a Range in Ruby

You can create an array with a range using splat,

>> a=*(1..10)
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

using Kernel Array method,

Array (1..10)
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

or using to_a

(1..10).to_a
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

JVM option -Xss - What does it do exactly?

It indeed sets the stack size on a JVM.

You should touch it in either of these two situations:

  • StackOverflowError (the stack size is greater than the limit), increase the value
  • OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread (too many threads, each thread has a large stack), decrease it.

The latter usually comes when your Xss is set too large - then you need to balance it (testing!)

FragmentActivity to Fragment

first of all;

a Fragment must be inside a FragmentActivity, that's the first rule,

a FragmentActivity is quite similar to a standart Activity that you already know, besides having some Fragment oriented methods

second thing about Fragments, is that there is one important method you MUST call, wich is onCreateView, where you inflate your layout, think of it as the setContentLayout

here is an example:

    @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {     mView       = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);       return mView; } 

and continu your work based on that mView, so to find a View by id, call mView.findViewById(..);


for the FragmentActivity part:

the xml part "must" have a FrameLayout in order to inflate a fragment in it

        <FrameLayout             android:id="@+id/content_frame"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"  >         </FrameLayout> 

as for the inflation part

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, new YOUR_FRAGMENT, "TAG").commit();


begin with these, as there is tons of other stuf you must know about fragments and fragment activities, start of by reading something about it (like life cycle) at the android developer site

Using union and order by clause in mysql

Try:

Is there a Python equivalent of the C# null-coalescing operator?

Addionally to @Bothwells answer (which I prefer) for single values, in order to null-checking assingment of function return values, you can use new walrus-operator (since python3.8):

def test():
    return

a = 2 if (x:= test()) is None else x

Thus, test function does not need to be evaluated two times (as in a = 2 if test() is None else test())

Batch file to run a command in cmd within a directory

For me, the following is working and running activiti server as well as opening the explorer in browser (with the help of zb226's answer and comment);

How to rollback just one step using rake db:migrate

Roll back the most recent migration:

rake db:rollback

Roll back the n most recent migrations:

rake db:rollback STEP=n

You can find full instructions on the use of Rails migration tasks for rake on the Rails Guide for running migrations.


Here's some more:

  • rake db:migrate - Run all migrations that haven't been run already
  • rake db:migrate VERSION=20080906120000 - Run all necessary migrations (up or down) to get to the given version
  • rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test - Run migrations in the given environment
  • rake db:migrate:redo - Roll back one migration and run it again
  • rake db:migrate:redo STEP=n - Roll back the last n migrations and run them again
  • rake db:migrate:up VERSION=20080906120000 - Run the up method for the given migration
  • rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20080906120000 - Run the down method for the given migration

And to answer your question about where you get a migration's version number from:

The version is the numerical prefix on the migration's filename. For example, to migrate to version 20080906120000 run

$ rake db:migrate VERSION=20080906120000

How can I generate random alphanumeric strings?

Another option could be to use Linq and aggregate random chars into a stringbuilder.

var chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789".ToArray();

Difference between dict.clear() and assigning {} in Python

Mutating methods are always useful if the original object is not in scope:

def fun(d):
    d.clear()
    d["b"] = 2

d={"a": 2}
fun(d)
d          # {'b': 2}

Re-assigning the dictionary would create a new object and wouldn't modify the original one.

How to stop a PowerShell script on the first error?

How to extract multiple JSON objects from one file?

So, as was mentioned in a couple comments containing the data in an array is simpler but the solution does not scale well in terms of efficiency as the data set size increases. You really should only use an iterator when you want to access a random object in the array, otherwise, generators are the way to go. Below I have prototyped a reader function which reads each json object individually and returns a generator.

The basic idea is to signal the reader to split on the carriage character "\n" (or "\r\n" for Windows). Python can do this with the file.readline() function.

import json
def json_reader(filename):
    with open(filename) as f:
        for line in f:
            yield json.loads(line)

However, this method only really works when the file is written as you have it -- with each object separated by a newline character. Below I wrote an example of a writer that separates an array of json objects and saves each one on a new line.

def json_writer(file, json_objects):
    with open(file, "w") as f:
        for jsonobj in json_objects:
            jsonstr = json.dumps(jsonobj)
            f.write(jsonstr + "\n")

You could also do the same operation with file.writelines() and a list comprehension:

...
    json_strs = [json.dumps(j) + "\n" for j in json_objects]
    f.writelines(json_strs)
...

And if you wanted to append the data instead of writing a new file just change open(file, "w") to open(file, "a").

In the end I find this helps a great deal not only with readability when I try and open json files in a text editor but also in terms of using memory more efficiently.

On that note if you change your mind at some point and you want a list out of the reader, Python allows you to put a generator function inside of a list and populate the list automatically. In other words, just write

lst = list(json_reader(file))

How to enable assembly bind failure logging (Fusion) in .NET

Add the following values to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion
Add:
DWORD ForceLog set value to 1
DWORD LogFailures set value to 1
DWORD LogResourceBinds set value to 1
DWORD EnableLog set value to 1
String LogPath set value to folder for logs (e.g. C:\FusionLog\)

Make sure you include the backslash after the folder name and that the Folder exists.

You need to restart the program that you're running to force it to read those registry settings.

By the way, don't forget to turn off fusion logging when not needed.

What are my options for storing data when using React Native? (iOS and Android)

Folks above hit the right notes for storage, though if you also need to consider any PII data that needs to be stored then you can also stash into the keychain using something like https://github.com/oblador/react-native-keychain since ASyncStorage is unencrypted. It can be applied as part of the persist configuration in something like redux-persist.

    // Ratio the hight to the width as the user screen ratio
    window.open(this.href , 'newwindow', 'width=' + width + ', height=' + height + ', top=' + ((window.innerHeight - height) / 2) + ', left=' + ((window.innerWidth - width) / 2));

});

it will open all the <a target="_new"> in a new window

EDIT:

1st, I did some little changes in the original code now it open the new window perfectly followed the user screen ratio (for landscape desktops)

but, I would like to recommend you to use the following code that open the link in new tab if you in mobile (thanks to zvona answer in other question):

jQuery('a[target^="_new"]').click(function() {
    return openWindow(this.href);
}


function openWindow(url) {

    if (window.innerWidth <= 640) {
        // if width is smaller then 640px, create a temporary a elm that will open the link in new tab
        var a = document.createElement('a');
        a.setAttribute("href", url);
        a.setAttribute("target", "_blank");

        var dispatch = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
        dispatch.initEvent("click", true, true);

        a.dispatchEvent(dispatch);
    }
    else {
        var width = window.innerWidth * 0.66 ;
        // define the height in
        var height = width * window.innerHeight / window.innerWidth ;
        // Ratio the hight to the width as the user screen ratio
        window.open(url , 'newwindow', 'width=' + width + ', height=' + height + ', top=' + ((window.innerHeight - height) / 2) + ', left=' + ((window.innerWidth - width) / 2));
    }
    return false;
}

How to do jquery code AFTER page loading?

Check for column name in a SqlDataReader object

To keep your code robust and clean, use a single extension function, like this:

    Public Module Extensions

        <Extension()>
        Public Function HasColumn(r As SqlDataReader, columnName As String) As Boolean

            Return If(String.IsNullOrEmpty(columnName) OrElse r.FieldCount = 0, False, Enumerable.Range(0, r.FieldCount).Select(Function(i) r.GetName(i)).Contains(columnName, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

        End Function

    End Module

How to delete a stash created with git stash create?

If you are 100% sure that you have just one stash or you want to delete all stashes (make a git stash list to be 107% sure), you can do a:

git stash clear

..and forget about them (it deletes all stashes).

Note: Added this answer for those who ended up here looking for a way to clear them all (like me).

Angularjs action on click of button

The calculation occurs immediately since the calculation call is bound in the template, which displays its result when quantity changes.

Instead you could try the following approach. Change your markup to the following:

<div ng-controller="myAppController" style="text-align:center">
  <p style="font-size:28px;">Enter Quantity:
      <input type="text" ng-model="quantity"/>
  </p>
  <button ng-click="calculateQuantity()">Calculate</button>
  <h2>Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>
</div>

Next, update your controller:

myAppModule.controller('myAppController', function($scope,calculateService) {
  $scope.quantity=1;
  $scope.quantityResult = 0;

  $scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
    $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  };
});

Here's a JSBin example that demonstrates the above approach.

The problem with this approach is the calculated result remains visible with the old value till the button is clicked. To address this, you could hide the result whenever the quantity changes.

This would involve updating the template to add an ng-change on the input, and an ng-if on the result:

<input type="text" ng-change="hideQuantityResult()" ng-model="quantity"/>

and

<h2 ng-if="showQuantityResult">Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>

In the controller add:

$scope.showQuantityResult = false;

$scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
  $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  $scope.showQuantityResult = true;
};

$scope.hideQuantityResult = function() {
  $scope.showQuantityResult = false;
}; 

These updates can be seen in this JSBin demo.

MySQL, update multiple tables with one query

Take the case of two tables, Books and Orders. In case, we increase the number of books in a particular order with Order.ID = 1002 in Orders table then we also need to reduce that the total number of books available in our stock by the same number in Books table.

UPDATE Books, Orders
SET Orders.Quantity = Orders.Quantity + 2,
    Books.InStock = Books.InStock - 2
WHERE
    Books.BookID = Orders.BookID
    AND Orders.OrderID = 1002;

Should I use encodeURI or encodeURIComponent for encoding URLs?

encodeURIComponent() : assumes that its argument is a portion (such as the protocol, hostname, path, or query string) of a URI. Therefore it escapes the punctuation characters that are used to separate the portionsof a URI.

encodeURI(): is used for encoding existing url

CSS: Creating textured backgrounds

with latest CSS3 technology, it is possible to create textured background. Check this out: http://lea.verou.me/css3patterns/#

but it still limited on so many aspect. And browser support is also not so ready.

your best bet is using small texture image and make repeat to that background. you could get some nice ready to use texture image here:

How to set combobox default value?

Suppose you bound your combobox to a List<Person>

List<Person> pp = new List<Person>();
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 1, name="Steve"});
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 2, name="Mark"});
pp.Add(new Person() {id = 3, name="Charles"});

cbo1.DisplayMember = "name";
cbo1.ValueMember = "id";
cbo1.DataSource = pp;

At this point you cannot set the Text property as you like, but instead you need to add an item to your list before setting the datasource

pp.Insert(0, new Person() {id=-1, name="--SELECT--"});
cbo1.DisplayMember = "name";
cbo1.ValueMember = "id";
cbo1.DataSource = pp;
cbo1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Of course this means that you need to add a checking code when you try to use the info from the combobox

if(cbo1.SelectedValue != null && Convert.ToInt32(cbo1.SelectedValue) == -1)
    MessageBox.Show("Please select a person name");
else
    ...... 

The code is the same if you use a DataTable instead of a list. You need to add a fake row at the first position of the Rows collection of the datatable and set the initial index of the combobox to make things clear. The only thing you need to look at are the name of the datatable columns and which columns should contain a non null value before adding the row to the collection

In a table with three columns like ID, FirstName, LastName with ID,FirstName and LastName required you need to

DataRow row = datatable.NewRow();
row["ID"] = -1;
row["FirstName"] = "--Select--";    
row["LastName"] = "FakeAddress";
dataTable.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);

Deserializing a JSON file with JavaScriptSerializer()

For .Net 4+:

string s = "{ \"user\" : {    \"id\" : 12345,    \"screen_name\" : \"twitpicuser\"}}";

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
dynamic usr = serializer.DeserializeObject(s);
var UserId = usr["user"]["id"];

For .Net 2/3.5: This code should work on JSON with 1 level

samplejson.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Script.Serialization" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections.Generic" %>
<%
string s = "{ \"id\" : 12345,    \"screen_name\" : \"twitpicuser\"}";
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Dictionary<string, object> result = (serializer.DeserializeObject(s) as Dictionary<string, object>);
var UserId = result["id"];
 %>
 <%=UserId %>

And for a 2 level JSON:

sample2.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Script.Serialization" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections.Generic" %>
<%
string s = "{ \"user\" : {    \"id\" : 12345,    \"screen_name\" : \"twitpicuser\"}}";
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Dictionary<string, object> result = (serializer.DeserializeObject(s) as Dictionary<string, object>);
Dictionary<string, object> usr = (result["user"] as Dictionary<string, object>);
var UserId = usr["id"];

Regular expression to match a dot

"In the default mode, Dot (.) matches any character except a newline. If the DOTALL flag has been specified, this matches any character including a newline." (python Doc)

So, if you want to evaluate dot literaly, I think you should put it in square brackets:

>>> p = re.compile(r'\b(\w+[.]\w+)')
>>> resp = p.search("blah blah blah [email protected] blah blah")
>>> resp.group()
'test.this'

C/C++ Struct vs Class

It's not possible to define member functions or derive structs from each other in C.

Also, C++ is not only C + "derive structs". Templates, references, user defined namespaces and operator overloading all do not exist in C.

Text editor to open big (giant, huge, large) text files

Free read-only viewers:

  • Large Text File Viewer (Windows) – Fully customizable theming (colors, fonts, word wrap, tab size). Supports horizontal and vertical split view. Also support file following and regex search. Very fast, simple, and has small executable size.
  • klogg (Windows, macOS, Linux) – A maintained fork of glogg, its main feature is regular expression search. It can also watch files, allows the user to mark lines, and has serious optimizations built in. But from a UI standpoint, it's ugly and clunky.
  • LogExpert (Windows) – "A GUI replacement for tail." It's really a log file analyzer, not a large file viewer, and in one test it required 10 seconds and 700 MB of RAM to load a 250 MB file. But its killer features are the columnizer (parse logs that are in CSV, JSONL, etc. and display in a spreadsheet format) and the highlighter (show lines with certain words in certain colors). Also supports file following, tabs, multifiles, bookmarks, search, plugins, and external tools.
  • Lister (Windows) – Very small and minimalist. It's one executable, barely 500 KB, but it still supports searching (with regexes), printing, a hex editor mode, and settings.
  • loxx (Windows) – Supports file following, highlighting, line numbers, huge files, regex, multiple files and views, and much more. The free version can not: process regex, filter files, synchronize timestamps, and save changed files.

Free editors:

  • Your regular editor or IDE. Modern editors can handle surprisingly large files. In particular, Vim (Windows, macOS, Linux), Emacs (Windows, macOS, Linux), Notepad++ (Windows), Sublime Text (Windows, macOS, Linux), and VS Code (Windows, macOS, Linux) support large (~4 GB) files, assuming you have the RAM.
  • Large File Editor (Windows) – Opens and edits TB+ files, supports Unicode, uses little memory, has XML-specific features, and includes a binary mode.
  • GigaEdit (Windows) – Supports searching, character statistics, and font customization. But it's buggy – with large files, it only allows overwriting characters, not inserting them; it doesn't respect LF as a line terminator, only CRLF; and it's slow.

Builtin programs (no installation required):

  • less (macOS, Linux) – The traditional Unix command-line pager tool. Lets you view text files of practically any size. Can be installed on Windows, too.
  • Notepad (Windows) – Decent with large files, especially with word wrap turned off.
  • MORE (Windows) – This refers to the Windows MORE, not the Unix more. A console program that allows you to view a file, one screen at a time.

Web viewers:

Paid editors:

  • 010 Editor (Windows, macOS, Linux) – Opens giant (as large as 50 GB) files.
  • SlickEdit (Windows, macOS, Linux) – Opens large files.
  • UltraEdit (Windows, macOS, Linux) – Opens files of more than 6 GB, but the configuration must be changed for this to be practical: Menu » Advanced » Configuration » File Handling » Temporary Files » Open file without temp file...
  • EmEditor (Windows) – Handles very large text files nicely (officially up to 248 GB, but as much as 900 GB according to one report).
  • BssEditor (Windows) – Handles large files and very long lines. Don’t require an installation. Free for non commercial use.

How to view AndroidManifest.xml from APK file?

How to make inline functions in C#

Yes.

You can create anonymous methods or lambda expressions:

};
Func<string, string> PrefixTrimmer = x => x ?? "";

Horizontal scroll on overflow of table

A solution that nobody mentioned is use white-space: nowrap for the table and add overflow-x to the wrapper.

(http://jsfiddle.net/xc7jLuyx/11/)

CSS

.wrapper { overflow-x: auto; }
.wrapper table { white-space: nowrap }

HTML

<div class="wrapper">
    <table></table>
</div>

This is an ideal scenario if you don't want rows with multiple lines.
To add break lines you need to use <br/>

How do I set a cookie on HttpClient's HttpRequestMessage

After spending hours on this issue, none of the answers above helped me so I found a really useful tool.

Firstly, I used Telerik's Fiddler 4 to study my Web Requests in details

Secondly, I came across this useful plugin for Fiddler:

https://github.com/sunilpottumuttu/FiddlerGenerateHttpClientCode

It will just generate the C# code for you. An example was:

        var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder("test.php", "test");
        var httpClient = new HttpClient();


        var httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, uriBuilder.ToString());



        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Host", "test.com");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Connection", "keep-alive");
     //   httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Content-Length", "138");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Pragma", "no-cache");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Origin", "test.com");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Upgrade-Insecure-Requests", "1");
    //    httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Referer", "http://www.translationdirectory.com/");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8");
        httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add("Cookie", "__utmc=266643403; __utmz=266643403.1537352460.3.3.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr=google.co.uk|utmcct=/|utmcmd=referral; __utma=266643403.817561753.1532012719.1537357162.1537361568.5; __utmb=266643403; __atuvc=0%7C34%2C0%7C35%2C0%7C36%2C0%7C37%2C48%7C38; __atuvs=5ba2469fbb02458f002");


        var httpResponseMessage = httpClient.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage).Result;

        var httpContent = httpResponseMessage.Content;
        string result = httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

Note that I had to comment out two lines as this plugin is not totally perfect yet but it did the job nevertheless.

DISCLAIMER: I am not associated or endorsed by either Telerik or the plugin's author in anyway.

Bootstrap close responsive menu "on click"

I'm using the mollwe function, although I added 2 improvements:

a) Avoid the dropdown closing if the link clicked is collapsed (including other links)

b) Hide the dropdown too, if you are clicking the visible web content.

jQuery.fn.exists = function() {
                  return this.length > 0;
              }

    $(function() {
                var navMain = $(".navbar-collapse");
                navMain.on("click", "a", null, function() {
                    if ($(this).attr("href") !== "#") {
                        navMain.collapse('hide');
                    }
                });

                $("#content").bind("click", function() {
                     if ($(".navbar-collapse.navbar-ex1-collapse.in").exists()) {
                        navMain.collapse('hide');
                    }
                });

            });

How to select only date from a DATETIME field in MySQL?

In MYSQL we have function called DATE_FORMAT(date,format). In your case your select statement will become like this:-

Display milliseconds in Excel

First represent the epoch of the millisecond time as a date (usually 1/1/1970), then add your millisecond time divided by the number of milliseconds in a day (86400000):

=DATE(1970,1,1)+(A1/86400000)

If your cell is properly formatted, you should see a human-readable date/time.

How to remove underline from a link in HTML?

This will remove all underlines from all links:

a {text-decoration: none; }

If you have specific links that you want to apply this to, give them a class name, like nounderline and do this:

a.nounderline {text-decoration: none; }

That will apply only to those links and leave all others unaffected.

This code belongs in the <head> of your document or in a stylesheet:

<head>
    <style type="text/css">
        a.nounderline {text-decoration: none; }
    </style>
</head>

And in the body:

<a href="#" class="nounderline">Link</a>

Maximum on http header values?

No, HTTP does not define any limit. However most web servers do limit size of headers they accept. For example in Apache default limit is 8KB, in IIS it's 16K. Server will return 413 Entity Too Large error if headers size exceeds that limit.

When to use React "componentDidUpdate" method?

Sometimes you might add a state value from props in constructor or componentDidMount, you might need to call setState when the props changed but the component has already mounted so componentDidMount will not execute and neither will constructor; in this particular case, you can use componentDidUpdate since the props have changed, you can call setState in componentDidUpdate with new props.

Can the Android layout folder contain subfolders?

The answer is no.

I would like to draw your attention towards this book Pro Android 2 that states:

It is also worth noting a few constraints regarding resources. First, Android supports only a linear list of files within the predefined folders under res. For example, it does not support nested folders under the layout folder (or the other folders under res).

Second, there are some similarities between the assets folder and the raw folder under res. Both folders can contain raw files, but the files within raw are considered resources and the files within assets are not.

Note that because the contents of the assets folder are not considered resources, you can put an arbitrary hierarchy of folders and files within it.

Is there any option to limit mongodb memory usage?

If you're using Docker, reading the Docker image documentation (in the Setting WiredTiger cache size limits section) I found out that they set the default to consume all available memory regardless of memory limits you may have imposed on the container, so you would have to limit the RAM usage directly from the DB configuration.

  1. Create you mongod.conf file:
# Limits cache storage
storage:
   wiredTiger:
      engineConfig:
         cacheSizeGB: 1 # Set the size you want
  1. Now you can assign that config file to the container: docker run --name mongo-container -v /path/to/mongod.conf:/etc/mongo/mongod.conf -d mongo --config /etc/mongo/mongod.conf
  2. Alternatively you could use a docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'

services:
    mongo:
        image: mongo:4.2
        # Sets the config file
        command: --config /etc/mongo/mongod.conf
        volumes:
            - ./config/mongo/mongod.conf:/etc/mongo/mongod.conf
        # Others settings...

When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent?

Just try encodeURI() and encodeURIComponent() yourself...

_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(encodeURIComponent('@#$%^&*'));
_x000D_
_x000D_

Input: @#$%^&*. Output: %40%23%24%25%5E%26*. So, wait, what happened to *? Why wasn't this converted? It could definitely cause problems if you tried to do linux command "$string". TLDR: You actually want fixedEncodeURIComponent() and fixedEncodeURI(). Long-story...

When to use encodeURI()? Never. encodeURI() fails to adhere to RFC3986 with regard to bracket-encoding. Use fixedEncodeURI(), as defined and further explained at the MDN encodeURI() Documentation...

function fixedEncodeURI(str) { return encodeURI(str).replace(/%5B/g, '[').replace(/%5D/g, ']'); }

When to use encodeURIComponent()? Never. encodeURIComponent() fails to adhere to RFC3986 with regard to encoding: !'()*. Use fixedEncodeURIComponent(), as defined and further explained at the MDN encodeURIComponent() Documentation...

function fixedEncodeURIComponent(str) { return encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/[!'()*]/g, function(c) { return '%' + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16); }); }

Then you can use fixedEncodeURI() to encode a single URL piece, whereas fixedEncodeURIComponent() will encode URL pieces and connectors; or, simply, fixedEncodeURI() will not encode +@?=:#;,$& (as & and + are common URL operators), but fixedEncodeURIComponent() will.

How to discard local changes and pull latest from GitHub repository

To push over old repo. git push -u origin master --force

I think the --force would work for a pull as well.

Using GCC to produce readable assembly?

Using the -S switch to GCC on x86 based systems produces a dump of AT&T syntax, by default, which can be specified with the -masm=att switch, like so:

gcc -S -masm=att code.c

Whereas if you'd like to produce a dump in Intel syntax, you could use the -masm=intel switch, like so:

gcc -S -masm=intel code.c

(Both produce dumps of code.c into their various syntax, into the file code.s respectively)

In order to produce similar effects with objdump, you'd want to use the --disassembler-options= intel/att switch, an example (with code dumps to illustrate the differences in syntax):

 $ objdump -d --disassembler-options=att code.c

How do I sort arrays using vbscript?

I know this is a pretty old topic but it might come in handy for anyone in the future. the script below does what the fella was trying to achieve purely using vbscript. when sorted terms starting in capital letters will have priority.

for a = UBound(ArrayOfTerms) - 1 To 0 Step -1
    for j= 0 to a
        if ArrayOfTerms(j)>ArrayOfTerms(j+1) then
            temp=ArrayOfTerms(j+1)
            ArrayOfTerms(j+1)=ArrayOfTerms(j)
            ArrayOfTerms(j)=temp
        end if
    next

Set environment variables on Mac OS X Lion

Simplified Explanation

This post/question is kind of old, so I will answer a simplified version for OS X Lion users. By default, OSX Lion does not have any of the following files:

  • ~/.bashrc
  • ~/.bash_profile
  • ~/.profile

At most, if you've done anything in the terminal you might see ~/.bash_history

What It Means

You must create the file to set your default bash commands (commonly in ~/.bashrc). To do this, use any sort of editor, though it's more simple to do it within the terminal:

  1. %> emacs .profile
  2. [from w/in emacs type:] source ~/.bashrc
  3. [from w/in emacs type:] Ctrl + x Ctrl + s (to save the file)
  4. [from w/in emacs type:] Ctrl + x Ctrl + c (to close emacs)
  5. %> emacs .bashrc
  6. [from w/in emacs type/paste all your bash commands, save, and exit]

The next time you quit and reload the terminal, it should load all your bash preferences. For good measure, it's usually a good idea to separate your commands into useful file names. For instance, from within ~/.bashrc, you should have a source ~/.bash_aliases and put all your alias commands in ~/.bash_aliases.

Jquery ajax call click event submit button

You did not add # before id of the button. You do not have right selector in your jquery code. So jquery is never execute in your button click. its submitted your form directly not passing any ajax request.

See documentation: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
its your friend.

Try this:

It seems that id: $("#Shareitem").val() is wrong if you want to pass the value of

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="" id="id">

you need to change this line:

id: $("#Shareitem").val()

by

id: $("#id").val()

All together:

 <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $("#Shareitem").click(function(e){
          e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({type: "POST",
                url: "/imball-reagens/public/shareitem",
                data: { id: $("#Shareitem").val(), access_token: $("#access_token").val() },
                success:function(result){
          $("#sharelink").html(result);
        }});
      });
    });
    </script>

Run a Java Application as a Service on Linux

Referring to Spring Boot application as a Service as well, I would go for the systemd version, since it's the easiest, least verbose, and best integrated into modern distros (and even the not-so-modern ones like CentOS 7.x).

PHP Include for HTML?

Try to get some debugging information, could be that the file path is wrong, for example.

Try these two things:- Add this line to the top of your sample page:

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);?>

This will print all errors/warnings/notices in the page so if there is any problem you get a text message describing it instead of a blank page

Additionally you can change include() to require()

<?php require ('headings.php'); ?>
<?php require ('navbar.php'); ?>
<?php require ('image.php'); ?>

This will throw a FATAL error PHP is unable to load required pages, and should help you in getting better tracing what is going wrong..

You can post the error descriptions here, if you get any, and you are unable to figure out what it means..

How to slice an array in Bash

See the Parameter Expansion section in the Bash man page. A[@] returns the contents of the array, :1:2 takes a slice of length 2, starting at index 1.

A=( foo bar "a  b c" 42 )
B=("${A[@]:1:2}")
C=("${A[@]:1}")       # slice to the end of the array
echo "${B[@]}"        # bar a  b c
echo "${B[1]}"        # a  b c
echo "${C[@]}"        # bar a  b c 42
echo "${C[@]: -2:2}"  # a  b c 42 # The space before the - is necesssary

Note that the fact that "a b c" is one array element (and that it contains an extra space) is preserved.

Form Submission without page refresh

<script type="text/javascript">

            url: frm.attr('action'),
            data: frm.serialize(),
            success: function (data) {
                alert('ok');
            }
        });

        ev.preventDefault();
    });
</script>

<form id="myform" action="/your_url" method="post">

getting the reason why websockets closed with close code 1006

Close Code 1006 is a special code that means the connection was closed abnormally (locally) by the browser implementation.

If your browser client reports close code 1006, then you should be looking at the websocket.onerror(evt) event for details.

However, Chrome will rarely report any close code 1006 reasons to the Javascript side. This is likely due to client security rules in the WebSocket spec to prevent abusing WebSocket. (such as using it to scan for open ports on a destination server, or for generating lots of connections for a denial-of-service attack).

Note that Chrome will often report a close code 1006 if there is an error during the HTTP Upgrade to Websocket (this is the step before a WebSocket is technically "connected"). For reasons such as bad authentication or authorization, or bad protocol use (such as requesting a subprotocol, but the server itself doesn't support that same subprotocol), or even an attempt at talking to a server location that isn't a WebSocket (such as attempting to connect to ws://images.google.com/)

Fundamentally, if you see a close code 1006, you have a very low level error with WebSocket itself (similar to "Unable to Open File" or "Socket Error"), not really meant for the user, as it points to a low level issue with your code and implementation. Fix your low level issues, and then when you are connected, you can then include more reasonable error codes. You can accomplish this in terms of scope or severity in your project. Example: info and warning level are part of your project's specific protocol, and don't cause the connection to terminate. With severe or fatal messages reporting also using your project's protocol to convey as much detail as you want, and then closing the connection using the limited abilities of the WebSocket close flow.

Be aware that WebSocket close codes are very strictly defined, and the close reason phrase/message cannot exceed 123 characters in length (this is an intentional WebSocket limitation).

But not all is lost, if you are just wanting this information for debugging reasons, the detail of the closure, and its underlying reason is often reported with a fair amount of detail in Chrome's Javascript console.

ImportError: No module named 'selenium'

first you should be sure that selenium is installed in your system.

then install pycharm https://itsfoss.com/install-pycharm-ubuntu/

now if an of packages are not installed it will show red underlines. click on it and install from pycharm.

like for this case click on selenium option in import statement, there you would getting some options. click on install selenium. it will install and automatically run the code successfully if all your drivers are placed in proper directories.

How to check whether an object has certain method/property?

To avoid AmbiguousMatchException, I would rather say

objectToCheck.GetType().GetMethods().Count(m => m.Name == method) > 0

Asynchronous vs synchronous execution, what does it really mean?

In a nutshell, synchronization refers to two or more processes' start and end points, NOT their executions. In this example, Process A's endpoint is synchronized with Process B's start point:

SYNCHRONOUS
   |--------A--------|
                     |--------B--------|

Asynchronous processes, on the other hand, do not have their start and endpoints synchronized:

ASYNCHRONOUS
   |--------A--------|
         |--------B--------|

Where Process A overlaps Process B, they're running concurrently or synchronously (dictionary definition), hence the confusion.

UPDATE: Charles Bretana improved his answer, so this answer is now just a simple (potentially oversimplified) mnemonic.

Get text from pressed button

In Kotlin:

myButton.setOnClickListener { doSomething((it as Button).text) }

Note: This gets the button text as a CharSequence, which more places in code can likely use. If you really want a String from there, then you can use .toString().

e.printStackTrace equivalent in python

Adding to the other great answers, we can use the Python logging library's debug(), info(), warning(), error(), and critical() methods. Quoting from the docs for Python 3.7.4,

There are three keyword arguments in kwargs which are inspected: exc_info which, if it does not evaluate as false, causes exception information to be added to the logging message.

What this means is, you can use the Python logging library to output a debug(), or other type of message, and the logging library will include the stack trace in its output. With this in mind, we can do the following:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

def f():
    a = { 'foo': None }
    # the following line will raise KeyError
    b = a['bar']

def g():
    f()

try:
    g()
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(str(e), exc_info=True)

And it will output:

'bar'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-2-8ae09e08766b>", line 18, in <module>
    g()
  File "<ipython-input-2-8ae09e08766b>", line 14, in g
    f()
  File "<ipython-input-2-8ae09e08766b>", line 10, in f
    b = a['bar']
KeyError: 'bar'

ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher() vs ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher()

I think you will understand it through these examples below.

Source code structure:

/src/main/webapp/subdir/sample.jsp
/src/main/webapp/sample.jsp

Context is: TestApp
So the entry point: http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp


Forward to RELATIVE path:

Using servletRequest.getRequestDispatcher("sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet  ==> \subdir\sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

Using servletContext.getRequestDispatcher("sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet ==> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path sample.jsp does not start with a "/" character
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path sample.jsp does not start with a "/" character


Forward to ABSOLUTE path:

Using servletRequest.getRequestDispatcher("/sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet  ==> /sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

Using servletContext.getRequestDispatcher("/sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

How can I create a text box for a note in markdown?

Have you tried using double tabs? To make a box:

Start on a fresh line
Hit tab twice, type up the content
Your content should appear in a box

It works for me in a regular Rmarkdown document with html output. The double-tabbed portion should appear in a rounded rectangular light grey box.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference

Your app is crashing at:

welcomePlayer.setText("Welcome Back, " + String.valueOf(mPlayer.getName(this)) + " !");

because mPlayer=null.

You forgot to initialize Player mPlayer in your PlayGame Activity.

mPlayer = new Player(context,"");

Starting of Tomcat failed from Netbeans

I had the same problem but none of the answers above worked. The solution for me was to restore the Manager web application that is bundled with Tomcat.

Can you delete multiple branches in one command with Git?

Converting String To Float in C#

The precision of float is 7 digits. If you want to keep the whole lot, you need to use the double type that keeps 15-16 digits. Regarding formatting, look at a post about formatting doubles. And you need to worry about decimal separators in C#.

Paging with LINQ for objects

I use this extension method:

    rowsCount = obj.Count();
    int innerRows = rowsCount - (page * pageSize);
    if (innerRows < 0)
    {
        innerRows = 0;
    }
    if (asc)
        return obj.OrderByDescending(keySelector).Take(innerRows).OrderBy(keySelector).Take(pageSize).AsQueryable();
    else
        return obj.OrderBy(keySelector).Take(innerRows).OrderByDescending(keySelector).Take(pageSize).AsQueryable();
}

public IEnumerable<Data> GetAll(int RowIndex, int PageSize, string SortExpression)
{
    int totalRows;
    int pageIndex = RowIndex / PageSize;

    List<Data> data= new List<Data>();
    IEnumerable<Data> dataPage;

    bool asc = !SortExpression.Contains("DESC");
    switch (SortExpression.Split(' ')[0])
    {
        case "ColumnName":
            dataPage = DataContext.Data.Page(pageIndex, PageSize, p => p.ColumnName, asc, out totalRows);
            break;
        default:
            dataPage = DataContext.vwClientDetails1s.Page(pageIndex, PageSize, p => p.IdColumn, asc, out totalRows);
            break;
    }

index.php not loading by default

At a guess I'd say the directory index is set to index.html, or some variant, try:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

This will still give index.html priority over index.php (handy if you need to throw up a maintenance page)

Postgresql Windows, is there a default password?

Try this:

Open PgAdmin -> Files -> Open pgpass.conf

You would get the path of pgpass.conf at the bottom of the window. Go to that location and open this file, you can find your password there.

Reference

If the above does not work, you may consider trying this:

 1. edit pg_hba.conf to allow trust authorization temporarily
 2. Reload the config file (pg_ctl reload)
 3. Connect and issue ALTER ROLE / PASSWORD to set the new password
 4. edit pg_hba.conf again and restore the previous settings
 5. Reload the config file again

How to get last inserted row ID from WordPress database?

Straight after the $wpdb->insert() that does the insert, do this:

$lastid = $wpdb->insert_id;

More information about how to do things the WordPress way can be found in the WordPress codex. The details above were found here on the wpdb class page

How can I get the number of records affected by a stored procedure?

Turns out for me that SET NOCOUNT ON was set in the stored procedure script (by default on SQL Server Management Studio) and SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); always returned -1.

I just set it off: SET NOCOUNT OFF without needing to use @@ROWCOUNT.

More details found here : SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() returns -1 when doing Insert / Update / Delete

Determining if Swift dictionary contains key and obtaining any of its values

Looks like you got what you need from @matt, but if you want a quick way to get a value for a key, or just the first value if that key doesn’t exist:

extension Dictionary {
    func keyedOrFirstValue(key: Key) -> Value? {
        // if key not found, replace the nil with 
        // the first element of the values collection
        return self[key] ?? first(self.values)
        // note, this is still an optional (because the
        // dictionary could be empty)
    }
}

let d = ["one":"red", "two":"blue"]

d.keyedOrFirstValue("one")  // {Some "red"}
d.keyedOrFirstValue("two")  // {Some "blue"}
d.keyedOrFirstValue("three")  // {Some "red”}

Note, no guarantees what you'll actually get as the first value, it just happens in this case to return “red”.

Similarity String Comparison in Java

You could use Levenshtein distance to calculate the difference between two strings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

Trim specific character from a string

To my knowledge, jQuery doesnt have a built in function the method your are asking about. With javascript however, you can just use replace to change the content of your string:

x.replace(/|/i, ""));

This will replace all occurences of | with nothing.

Calculate time difference in minutes in SQL Server

Use DateDiff with MINUTE difference:

SELECT DATEDIFF(MINUTE, '11:10:10' , '11:20:00') AS MinuteDiff

Query that may help you:

SELECT StartTime, EndTime, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, StartTime , EndTime) AS MinuteDiff 
FROM TableName

How to enable SOAP on CentOS

The yum install php-soap command will install the Soap module for php 5.x

For installing the correct version for your environment I recommend to create a file info.php and put this code: <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>

In the header you'll see the version you're using:

enter image description here

Now that you know the correct version you can run this command: yum search php-soap

This command will return the avaliable versions:

php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php54-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php55-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php56-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php70-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php71-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php72-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php73-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
php74-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php70-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php71-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol
rh-php72-php-soap.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications that use the SOAP protocol

Now you just need to choose the correct module to your php version.

For this example, you should run this command php72-php-soap.x86_64

How to access the services from RESTful API in my angularjs page?

Option 1: $http service

AngularJS provides the $http service that does exactly what you want: Sending AJAX requests to web services and receiving data from them, using JSON (which is perfectly for talking to REST services).

To give an example (taken from the AngularJS documentation and slightly adapted):

$http({ method: 'GET', url: '/foo' }).
  success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    // ...
  }).
  error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    // ...
  });

Option 2: $resource service

Please note that there is also another service in AngularJS, the $resource service which provides access to REST services in a more high-level fashion (example again taken from AngularJS documentation):

var Users = $resource('/user/:userId', { userId: '@id' });
var user = Users.get({ userId: 123 }, function () {
  user.abc = true;
  user.$save();
});

Option 3: Restangular

Moreover, there are also third-party solutions, such as Restangular. See its documentation on how to use it. Basically, it's way more declarative and abstracts more of the details away from you.

How to put a horizontal divisor line between edit text's in a activity

How about defining your own view? I have used the class below, using a LinearLayout around a view whose background color is set. This allows me to pre-define layout parameters for it. If you don't need that just extend View and set the background color instead.

public class HorizontalRulerView extends LinearLayout {

    static final int COLOR = Color.DKGRAY;
    static final int HEIGHT = 2;
    static final int VERTICAL_MARGIN = 10;
    static final int HORIZONTAL_MARGIN = 5;
    static final int TOP_MARGIN = VERTICAL_MARGIN;
    static final int BOTTOM_MARGIN = VERTICAL_MARGIN;
    static final int LEFT_MARGIN = HORIZONTAL_MARGIN;
    static final int RIGHT_MARGIN = HORIZONTAL_MARGIN;

    public HorizontalRulerView(Context context) {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public HorizontalRulerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        this(context, attrs, android.R.attr.textViewStyle);
    }

    public HorizontalRulerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        setOrientation(VERTICAL);
        View v = new View(context);
        v.setBackgroundColor(COLOR);
        LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(
            LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            HEIGHT
        );
        lp.topMargin = TOP_MARGIN;
        lp.bottomMargin = BOTTOM_MARGIN;
        lp.leftMargin = LEFT_MARGIN;
        lp.rightMargin = RIGHT_MARGIN;
        addView(v, lp);
    }

}

Use it programmatically or in Eclipse (Custom & Library Views -- just pull it into your layout).

How to parse XML using vba

This is a bit of a complicated question, but it seems like the most direct route would be to load the XML document or XML string via MSXML2.DOMDocument which will then allow you to access the XML nodes.

You can find more on MSXML2.DOMDocument at the following sites:

How can I override Bootstrap CSS styles?

I found out that (bootstrap 4) putting your own CSS behind bootstrap.css and .js is the best solution.

Find the item you want to change (inspect element) and use the exact same declaration then it will override.

It took me some little time to figure this out.

How to split a string in Java

public class SplitTest {

    public static String[] split(String text, String delimiter) {
        java.util.List<String> parts = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();

        text += delimiter;

        for (int i = text.indexOf(delimiter), j=0; i != -1;) {
            String temp = text.substring(j,i);
            if(temp.trim().length() != 0) {
                parts.add(temp);
            }
            j = i + delimiter.length();
            i = text.indexOf(delimiter,j);
        }

        return parts.toArray(new String[0]);
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "004-034556";
        String delimiter = "-";
        String result[] = split(str, delimiter);

}

How do I clone a job in Jenkins?

I was not able to copy Jenkins job from subfolder. copy from option did not show the suggestion which i was looking for.Without using suggestion copying the job name didn't work.

So if you want to create a job from outer folder, you need to first create the job in subfolder and then move it in different folder where you need to place it.

Set background image on grid in WPF using C#

In order to avoid path problem, you can simply try this, just keep background image in images folder and add this code

<Grid>
  <Grid.Background>
    <ImageBrush Stretch="Fill" ImageSource="..\Images\background.jpg"
                AlignmentY="Top" AlignmentX="Center"/>
  </Grid.Background>
</Grid>

Formatting numbers (decimal places, thousands separators, etc) with CSS

Another solution with pure CSS+HTML and the pseudo-class :lang().

Use some HTML to mark up the number with the classes thousands-separator and decimal-separator:

<html lang="es">
  Spanish: 1<span class="thousands-separator">200</span><span class="thousands-separator">000</span><span class="decimal-separator">.</span>50
</html>

Use the lang pseudo-class to format the number.

/* Spanish */
.thousands-separator:lang(es):before{
  content: ".";
}
.decimal-separator:lang(es){
  visibility: hidden;
  position: relative;
}
.decimal-separator:lang(es):before{
  position: absolute;
  visibility: visible;
  content: ",";
}

/* English and Mexican Spanish */
.thousands-separator:lang(en):before, .thousands-separator:lang(es-MX):before{
  content: ",";
}

PHP if not statements

No matter what $action is, it will always either not be "add" OR not be "delete", which is why the if condition always passes. What you want is to use && instead of ||:

(!isset($action)) || ($action !="add" && $action !="delete"))

HttpWebRequest-The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request

Are you sure you should be using POST not PUT?

POST is usually used with application/x-www-urlencoded formats. If you are using a REST API, you should maybe be using PUT? If you are uploading a file you probably need to use multipart/form-data. Not always, but usually, that is the right thing to do..

Also you don't seem to be using the credentials to log in - you need to use the Credentials property of the HttpWebRequest object to send the username and password.

How to group time by hour or by 10 minutes

I know I am late to the show with this one, but I used this - pretty simple approach. This allows you to get the 60 minute slices without any rounding issues.

Select 
   CONCAT( 
            Format(endtime,'yyyy-MM-dd_HH:'),  
            LEFT(Format(endtime,'mm'),1),
            '0' 
          ) as [Time-Slice]

Truncate number to two decimal places without rounding

truncate without zeroes

function toTrunc(value,n){  
    return Math.floor(value*Math.pow(10,n))/(Math.pow(10,n));
}

or

function toTrunc(value,n){
    x=(value.toString()+".0").split(".");
    return parseFloat(x[0]+"."+x[1].substr(0,n));
}

test:

toTrunc(17.4532,2)  //17.45
toTrunc(177.4532,1) //177.4
toTrunc(1.4532,1)   //1.4
toTrunc(.4,2)       //0.4

truncate with zeroes

function toTruncFixed(value,n){
    return toTrunc(value,n).toFixed(n);
}

test:

toTrunc(17.4532,2)  //17.45
toTrunc(177.4532,1) //177.4
toTrunc(1.4532,1)   //1.4
toTrunc(.4,2)       //0.40

How link to any local file with markdown syntax?

How are you opening the rendered Markdown?

If you host it over HTTP, i.e. you access it via http:// or https://, most modern browsers will refuse to open local links, e.g. with file://. This is a security feature:

For security purposes, Mozilla applications block links to local files (and directories) from remote files. This includes linking to files on your hard drive, on mapped network drives, and accessible via Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) paths. This prevents a number of unpleasant possibilities, including:

  • Allowing sites to detect your operating system by checking default installation paths
  • Allowing sites to exploit system vulnerabilities (e.g., C:\con\con in Windows 95/98)
  • Allowing sites to detect browser preferences or read sensitive data

There are some workarounds listed on that page, but my recommendation is to avoid doing this if you can.

How can I remove leading and trailing quotes in SQL Server?

I thought this is a simpler script if you want to remove all quotes

How can I one hot encode in Python?

To add to other questions, let me provide how I did it with a Python 2.0 function using Numpy:

def one_hot(y_):
    # Function to encode output labels from number indexes 
    # e.g.: [[5], [0], [3]] --> [[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]]

    y_ = y_.reshape(len(y_))
    n_values = np.max(y_) + 1
    return np.eye(n_values)[np.array(y_, dtype=np.int32)]  # Returns FLOATS

The line n_values = np.max(y_) + 1 could be hard-coded for you to use the good number of neurons in case you use mini-batches for example.

Find a commit on GitHub given the commit hash

A URL of the form https://github.com/<owner>/<project>/commit/<hash> will show you the changes introduced in that commit. For example here's a recent bugfix I made to one of my projects on GitHub:

https://github.com/jerith666/git-graph/commit/35e32b6a00dec02ae7d7c45c6b7106779a124685

You can also shorten the hash to any unique prefix, like so:

https://github.com/jerith666/git-graph/commit/35e32b


I know you just asked about GitHub, but for completeness: If you have the repository checked out, from the command line, you can achieve basically the same thing with either of these commands (unique prefixes work here too):

git show 35e32b6a00dec02ae7d7c45c6b7106779a124685
git log -p -1 35e32b6a00dec02ae7d7c45c6b7106779a124685

Note: If you shorten the commit hash too far, the command line gives you a helpful disambiguation message, but GitHub will just return a 404.

AJAX in Chrome sending OPTIONS instead of GET/POST/PUT/DELETE?

I've encountered a very similar issue. I spent almost half a day to understand why everything works correctly in Firefox and fails in Chrome. In my case it was because of duplicated (or maybe mistyped) fields in my request header.

How to find text in a column and saving the row number where it is first found - Excel VBA

Dim FindRow as Range

Set FindRow = Range("A:A").Find(What:="ProjTemp", _' This is what you are searching for
                   After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _ ' This is saying after the last cell in the_

If you would like to get addition ones you can use:

Do Until FindRow Is Nothing
    Set FindRow = Range("A:A").FindNext(after:=FindRow)
    If FindRow.row = FirstRow Then
        Exit Do
    Else ' Do what you'd like with the additional rows here.

    End If

Google maps Places API V3 autocomplete - select first option on enter

I had the same issue when implementing autocomplete on a site I worked on recently. This is the solution I came up with:

$("input").focusin(function () {
    $(document).keypress(function (e) {
        if (e.which == 13) {
            var firstResult = $(".pac-container .pac-item:first").text();

            var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
            geocoder.geocode({"address":firstResult }, function(results, status) {
                if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                    var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat(),
                        lng = results[0].geometry.location.lng(),
                        placeName = results[0].address_components[0].long_name,
                        latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);

                        $(".pac-container .pac-item:first").addClass("pac-selected");
                        $(".pac-container").css("display","none");

How to build a Debian/Ubuntu package from source?

For what you want to do, you probably want to use the debian source diff, so your package is similar to the official one apart from the upstream version used. You can download the source diff from packages.debian.org, or can get it along with the .dsc and the original source archive by using "apt-get source".

Then you unpack your new version of the upstream source, change into that directory, and apply the diff you downloaded by doing

zcat ~/downloaded.diff.gz | patch -p1
chmod +x debian/rules

Then make the changes you wanted to compile options, and build the package by doing

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

Append values to query string

You could use the HttpUtility.ParseQueryString method and an UriBuilder which provides a nice way to work with query string parameters without worrying about things like parsing, url encoding, ...:

string longurl = "http://somesite.com/news.php?article=1&lang=en";
var uriBuilder = new UriBuilder(longurl);
var query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uriBuilder.Query);
query["action"] = "login1";
query["attempts"] = "11";
uriBuilder.Query = query.ToString();
longurl = uriBuilder.ToString();
// "http://somesite.com:80/news.php?article=1&lang=en&action=login1&attempts=11"

How to prevent 'query timeout expired'? (SQLNCLI11 error '80040e31')

Turns out that the post (or rather the whole table) was locked by the very same connection that I tried to update the post with.

I had a opened record set of the post that was created by:

Set RecSet = Conn.Execute()

This type of recordset is supposed to be read-only and when I was using MS Access as database it did not lock anything. But apparently this type of record set did lock something on MS SQL Server 2012 because when I added these lines of code before executing the UPDATE SQL statement...

RecSet.Close
Set RecSet = Nothing

...everything worked just fine.

So bottom line is to be careful with opened record sets - even if they are read-only they could lock your table from updates.

QtCreator: No valid kits found

Another way to solve this issue (I did it on Ubuntu 16.04 but it might also work for windows and other Ubuntu versions):

While going through the installation steps, when you reach the step where you choose which packages to install via check boxes, instead of just pressing next with the default "Tools" checkbox selected also check the box for the version of QT you would like in addition to the "Tools" box. I usually check the first box which is the latest version of QT.

After doing this you should not see the "no valid kits found" issue described in this thread.

Happy Coding.

How to change background color in the Notepad++ text editor?

Notepad++ changed in the past couple of years, and it requires a few extra steps to set up a dark theme.

The answer by Amit-IO is good, but the example theme that is needed has stopped being maintained. The DraculaTheme is active. Just download the XML and put it in a themes folder. You may need Admin access in Windows.

C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes

https://draculatheme.com/notepad-plus-plus

Why is lock(this) {...} bad?

...and the exact same arguments apply to this construct as well:

lock(typeof(SomeObject))

Relative path in HTML

The relative pathing is based on the document level of the client side i.e. the URL level of the document as seen in the browser.

If the URL of your website is: http://www.example.com/mywebsite/ then starting at the root level starts above the "mywebsite" folder path.

How to get all files under a specific directory in MATLAB?

I used the code mentioned in this great answer and expanded it to support 2 additional parameters which I needed in my case. The parameters are file extensions to filter on and a flag indicating whether to concatenate the full path to the name of the file or not.

I hope it is clear enough and someone will finds it beneficial.

function fileList = getAllFiles(dirName, fileExtension, appendFullPath)

  dirData = dir([dirName '/' fileExtension]);      %# Get the data for the current directory
  dirWithSubFolders = dir(dirName);
  dirIndex = [dirWithSubFolders.isdir];  %# Find the index for directories
  fileList = {dirData.name}';  %'# Get a list of the files
  if ~isempty(fileList)
    if appendFullPath
      fileList = cellfun(@(x) fullfile(dirName,x),...  %# Prepend path to files
                       fileList,'UniformOutput',false);
    end
  end
  subDirs = {dirWithSubFolders(dirIndex).name};  %# Get a list of the subdirectories
  validIndex = ~ismember(subDirs,{'.','..'});  %# Find index of subdirectories
                                               %#   that are not '.' or '..'
  for iDir = find(validIndex)                  %# Loop over valid subdirectories
    nextDir = fullfile(dirName,subDirs{iDir});    %# Get the subdirectory path
    fileList = [fileList; getAllFiles(nextDir, fileExtension, appendFullPath)];  %# Recursively call getAllFiles
  end

end

Example for running the code:

fileList = getAllFiles(dirName, '*.xml', 0); %#0 is false obviously

Select first occurring element after another element

For your literal example you'd want to use the adjacent selector (+).

h4 + p {color:red}//any <p> that is immediately preceded by an <h4>

<h4>Some text</h4>
<p>I'm red</p>
<p>I'm not</p>

However, if you wanted to select all successive paragraphs, you'd need to use the general sibling selector (~).

h4 ~ p {color:red}//any <p> that has the same parent as, and comes after an <h4>

<h4>Some text</h4>
<p>I'm red</p>
<p>I am too</p>

It's known to be buggy in IE 7+ unfortunately.

How can I get log4j to delete old rotating log files?

RollingFileAppender does this. You just need to set maxBackupIndex to the highest value for the backup file.

Date constructor returns NaN in IE, but works in Firefox and Chrome

I always store my date in UTC time.

This is my own function made from the different functions I found in this page.

It takes a STRING as a mysql DATETIME format (example : 2013-06-15 15:21:41). The checking with the regex is optional. You can delete this part to improve performance.

This function return a timestamp.

The DATETIME is considered as a UTC date. Be carefull : If you expect a local datetime, this function is not for you.

    function datetimeToTimestamp(datetime)
    {
        var regDatetime = /^[0-9]{4}-(?:[0]?[0-9]{1}|10|11|12)-(?:[012]?[0-9]{1}|30|31)(?: (?:[01]?[0-9]{1}|20|21|22|23)(?::[0-5]?[0-9]{1})?(?::[0-5]?[0-9]{1})?)?$/;
        if(regDatetime.test(datetime) === false)
            throw("Wrong format for the param. `Y-m-d H:i:s` expected.");

        var a=datetime.split(" ");
        var d=a[0].split("-");
        var t=a[1].split(":");

        var date = new Date();
        date.setUTCFullYear(d[0],(d[1]-1),d[2]);
        date.setUTCHours(t[0],t[1],t[2], 0);

        return date.getTime();
    }

Laravel Eloquent: How to get only certain columns from joined tables

You can supply an array of fields in the get parameter like so:

return Response::eloquent(Theme::with('user')->get(array('user.username'));

UPDATE (for Laravel 5.2) From the docs, you can do this:

$response = DB::table('themes')
    ->select('themes.*', 'users.username')
    ->join('users', 'users.id', '=', 'themes.user_id')
    ->get();

json.net has key method?

Send Message in C#

Building on Mark Byers's answer.

The 3rd project could be a WCF project, hosted as a Windows Service. If all programs listened to that service, one application could call the service. The service passes the message on to all listening clients and they can perform an action if suitable.

Good WCF videos here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/dd728059

jQuery selector to get form by name

    // this will give all the forms on the page.

    $('form')

   // If you know the name of form then.

    $('form[name="myFormName"]')

  //  If you don't know know the name but the position (starts with 0)

    $('form:eq(1)')  // 2nd form will be fetched.

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

Here is another way to do it, if you have dynamic data to be included.

#!/bin/bash

version=$1
text=$2
branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
repo_full_name=$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed 's/.*:\/\/github.com\///;s/.git$//')
token=$(git config --global github.token)

generate_post_data()
{
  cat <<EOF
{
  "tag_name": "$version",
  "target_commitish": "$branch",
  "name": "$version",
  "body": "$text",
  "draft": false,
  "prerelease": false
}
EOF
}

echo "Create release $version for repo: $repo_full_name branch: $branch"
curl --data "$(generate_post_data)" "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo_full_name/releases?access_token=$token"

Type of expression is ambiguous without more context Swift

In my case, this error message shown when I don't added optional property to constructor.

struct Event: Identifiable, Codable {

    var id: String
    var summary: String
    var description: String?
    // also has other props...

    init(id: String, summary: String, description: String?){
        self.id = id
        self.summary = summary
        self.description = description
    }
}

// skip pass description
// It show message "Type of expression is ambiguous without more context"
Event(
    id: "1",
    summary: "summary",
)

// pass description explicity pass nil to description
Event(
    id: "1",
    summary: "summary",
    description: nil
)

but it looks always not occured.

I test in my playground this code, it show warning about more concrete

var str = "Hello, playground"
struct User {
    var id: String
    var name: String?
    init(id: String, name: String?) {
        self.id = id
        self.name = name
    }
}

User(id: "hoge") // Missing argument for parameter 'name' in call

how to make label visible/invisible?

You can set display attribute as none to hide a label.

<label id="excel-data-div" style="display: none;"></label>
