Kotlin unresolved reference in IntelliJ

If anyone stumbles across this and NEITHER Invalidate Cache or Update Kotlin's Version work:

1) First, make sure you can build it from outside the IDE. If you're using gradle, for instance:

gradle clean build

If everything goes well , then your environment is all good to work with Kotlin.

2) To fix the IDE build, try the following:

As suggested by a JetBrain's member here: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/intellij-kotlin-project-screw-up/597

Bizarre Error in Chrome Developer Console - Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CACHE_MISS

On Chrome's latest update (38.0.2125.104 m at the moment), Google added the option to know whether the files loaded to the website were newly downloaded from the server - or read from the local cache.

When an error like yours "hits" the console - you know the files were just downloaded from the server and not read from the local cache. You can recreate this error by clicking Ctrl + F5 (refresh and erase cache).

It fits your description where Firebug (or equivalents) doesn't fire any errors to the console - whilst Chrome does.

So, the bottom line is - your're just fine and you can ignore this error - it's merely an indicator.

}

that contains an element named data that has a JSON object as its value. You are trying to deserialize the element named workstationUuid from that JSON object into this setter.

@JsonProperty("workstationUuid")
public void setWorkstation(String workstationUUID) {

This won't work directly because Jackson sees a JSON_OBJECT, not a String.

Try creating a class Data

public class Data { // the name doesn't matter 
    @JsonProperty("workstationUuid")
    private String workstationUuid;
    // getter and setter
}

the switch up your method

@JsonProperty("data")
public void setWorkstation(Data data) {
    // use getter to retrieve it

Overflow Scroll css is not working in the div

You are missing the height CSS property.

Adding it you will notice that scroll bar will appear.

.wrapper{

How to suspend/resume a process in Windows?

I use (a very old) process explorer from SysInternals (procexp.exe). It is a replacement / addition to the standard Task manager, you can suspend a process from there.

Edit: Microsoft has bought over SysInternals, url: procExp.exe

Other than that you can set the process priority to low so that it does not get in the way of other processes, but this will not suspend the process.

What causes signal 'SIGILL'?

It means the CPU attempted to execute an instruction it didn't understand. This could be caused by corruption I guess, or maybe it's been compiled for the wrong architecture (in which case I would have thought the O/S would refuse to run the executable). Not entirely sure what the root issue is.

Disable XML validation in Eclipse

The other answers may work for you, but they did not cover my case. I wanted some XML to be validated, and others not. This image shows how to exclude certain folders (or files) for XML validation.

Begin by right clicking the root of your Eclipse project. Select the last item: Properties...

enter image description here

(If your browser scales this image very small, right click and open in a new window or tab.)

Eclipse appears to be very sensitive if you click the **Browse File...* or **Browser Folder...* button. This dialog needs some work!
This was done using Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler).

How to initialize an array of objects in Java

Arrays are not changeable after initialization. You have to give it a value, and that value is what that array length stays. You can create multiple arrays to contain certain parts of player information like their hand and such, and then create an arrayList to sort of shepherd those arrays.

Another point of contention I see, and I may be wrong about this, is the fact that your private Player[] InitializePlayers() is static where the class is now non-static. So:

private Player[] InitializePlayers(int playerCount)
{
 ...
}

My last point would be that you should probably have playerCount declared outside of the method that is going to change it so that the value that is set to it becomes the new value as well and it is not just tossed away at the end of the method's "scope."

Hope this helps

How would I run an async Task<T> method synchronously?

The difference between fork(), vfork(), exec() and clone()

execve() replaces the current executable image with another one loaded from an executable file.
fork() creates a child process.
vfork() is a historical optimized version of fork(), meant to be used when execve() is called directly after fork(). It turned out to work well in non-MMU systems (where fork() cannot work in an efficient manner) and when fork()ing processes with a huge memory footprint to run some small program (think Java's Runtime.exec()). POSIX has standardized the posix_spawn() to replace these latter two more modern uses of vfork().
posix_spawn() does the equivalent of a fork()/execve(), and also allows some fd juggling in between. It's supposed to replace fork()/execve(), mainly for non-MMU platforms.
pthread_create() creates a new thread.
clone() is a Linux-specific call, which can be used to implement anything from fork() to pthread_create(). It gives a lot of control. Inspired on rfork().
rfork() is a Plan-9 specific call. It's supposed to be a generic call, allowing several degrees of sharing, between full processes and threads.

Nested jQuery.each() - continue/break

Unfortunately no. The problem here is that the iteration happens inside functions, so they aren't like normal loops. The only way you can "break" out of a function is by returning or by throwing an exception. So yes, using a boolean flag seems to be the only reasonable way to "break" out of the outer "loop".

Why must wait() always be in synchronized block

Thread wait on the monitoring object (object used by synchronization block), There can be n number of monitoring object in whole journey of a single thread. If Thread wait outside the synchronization block then there is no monitoring object and also other thread notify to access for the monitoring object, so how would the thread outside the synchronization block would know that it has been notified. This is also one of the reason that wait(), notify() and notifyAll() are in object class rather than thread class.

Basically the monitoring object is common resource here for all the threads, and monitoring objects can only be available in synchronization block.

class A {
   int a = 0;
  //something......
  public void add() {
   synchronization(this) {
      //this is your monitoring object and thread has to wait to gain lock on **this**
       }
  }

Running java with JAVA_OPTS env variable has no effect

I don't know of any JVM that actually checks the JAVA_OPTS environment variable. Usually this is used in scripts which launch the JVM and they usually just add it to the java command-line.

The key thing to understand here is that arguments to java that come before the -jar analyse.jar bit will only affect the JVM and won't be passed along to your program. So, modifying the java line in your script to:

java $JAVA_OPTS -jar analyse.jar $*

Should "just work".

How to detect page zoom level in all modern browsers?

Your calculations are still based on a number of CSS pixels. They're just a different size on the screen now. That's the point of full page zoom.

What would you want to happen on a browser on a 192dpi device which therefore normally displayed four device pixels for each pixel in an image? At 50% zoom this device now displays one image pixel in one device pixel.

Max parallel http connections in a browser?

Note that increasing a browser's max connections per server to an excessive number (as some sites suggest) can and does lock other users out of small sites with hosting plans that limit the total simultaneous connections on the server.

Remote debugging a Java application

Edit: I noticed that some people are cutting and pasting the invocation here. The answer I originally gave was relevant for the OP only. Here's a more modern invocation style (including using the more conventional port of 8000):

java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n <other arguments>

Original answer follows.

Try this:

java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=4000,suspend=n myapp

Two points here:

No spaces in the runjdwp option.
Options come before the class name. Any arguments you have after the class name are arguments to your program!

How do I suspend painting for a control and its children?

Based on ng5000's answer, I like using this extension:

        #region Suspend
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 wMsg, bool wParam, Int32 lParam);
        private const int WM_SETREDRAW = 11;
        public static IDisposable BeginSuspendlock(this Control ctrl)
        {
            return new suspender(ctrl);
        }
        private class suspender : IDisposable
        {
            private Control _ctrl;
            public suspender(Control ctrl)
            {
                this._ctrl = ctrl;
                SendMessage(this._ctrl.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, false, 0);
            }
            public void Dispose()
            {
                SendMessage(this._ctrl.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, true, 0);
                this._ctrl.Refresh();
            }
        }
        #endregion

Use:

using (this.BeginSuspendlock())
{
    //update GUI
}

Highlight a word with jQuery

You need to get the content of the p tag and replace all the dolors in it with the highlighted version.

You don't even need to have jQuery for this. :-)

Can you use a trailing comma in a JSON object?

Since a for-loop is used to iterate over an array, or similar iterable data structure, we can use the length of the array as shown,

awk -v header="FirstName,LastName,DOB" '
  BEGIN {
    FS = ",";
    print("[");
    columns = split(header, column_names, ",");
  }
  { print("  {");
    for (i = 1; i < columns; i++) {
      printf("    \"%s\":\"%s\",\n", column_names[i], $(i));
    }
    printf("    \"%s\":\"%s\"\n", column_names[i], $(i));
    print("  }");
  }
  END { print("]"); } ' datafile.txt

Get OS-level system information

If you are using Jrockit VM then here is an other way of getting VM CPU usage. Runtime bean can also give you CPU load per processor. I have used this only on Red Hat Linux to observer Tomcat performance. You have to enable JMX remote in catalina.sh for this to work.

JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://my.tomcat.host:8080/jmxrmi");
JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, null);     
MBeanServerConnection conn = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();       
ObjectName name = new ObjectName("oracle.jrockit.management:type=Runtime");
Double jvmCpuLoad =(Double)conn.getAttribute(name, "VMGeneratedCPULoad");

Mercurial undo last commit

One way would be ~~hg rollback~~ (deprecated as of Hg2.7, August 2013)

Please use hg commit --amend instead of rollback to correct mistakes in the last commit.

Roll back the last transaction in a repository.

When committing or merging, Mercurial adds the changeset entry last.
Mercurial keeps a transaction log of the name of each file touched and its length prior to the transaction. On abort, it truncates each file to its prior length. This simplicity is one benefit of making revlogs append-only. The transaction journal also allows an undo operation.

See TortoiseHg Recovery section:

alt text

This thread also details the difference between hg rollback and hg strip:
(written by Martin Geisler who also contributes on SO)

'hg rollback' will remove the last transaction. Transactions are a concept often found in databases. In Mercurial we start a transaction when certain operations are run, such as commit, push, pull...
When the operation finishes succesfully, the transaction is marked as complete. If an error occurs, the transaction is "rolled back" and the repository is left in the same state as before.
You can manually trigger a rollback with 'hg rollback'. This will undo the last transactional command. If a pull command brought 10 new changesets into the repository on different branches, then 'hg rollback' will remove them all. Please note: there is no backup when you rollback a transaction!

'hg strip' will remove a changeset and all its descendants. The changesets are saved as a bundle, which you can apply again if you need them back.

ForeverWintr suggests in the comments (in 2016, 5 years later)

You can 'un-commit' files by first hg forgetting them, e.g.: hg forget filea; hg commit --amend, but that seems unintuitive.
hg strip --keep is probably a better solution for modern hg.

Sizing elements to percentage of screen width/height

This might be a little more clear:

double width = MediaQuery.of(context).size.width;

double yourWidth = width * 0.65;

Hope this solved your problem.

Java equivalent to JavaScript's encodeURIComponent that produces identical output?

Guava library has PercentEscaper:

Escaper percentEscaper = new PercentEscaper("-_.*", false);

"-_.*" are safe characters

false says PercentEscaper to escape space with '%20', not '+'

Git vs Team Foundation Server

After some investigation between the pro and cons, the company I was involved with also decided to go for TFS. Not because GIT isn't a good version control system, but most importantly for the fully integrated ALM solution that TFS delivers. If only the version control feature was important, the choice may probably have been GIT. The steep GIT learning curve for regular developers may however not be underestimated.

See a detailed explanation in my blog post TFS as a true cross-technology platform.

Video format or MIME type is not supported

Firefox does not support the MPEG H.264 (mp4) format at this time, due to a philosophical disagreement with the closed-source nature of the format.

To play videos in all browsers without using plugins, you will need to host multiple copies of each video, in different formats. You will also need to use an alternate form of the video tag, as seen in the JSFiddle from @TimHayes above, reproduced below. Mozilla claims that only mp4 and WebM are necessary to ensure complete coverage of all major browsers, but you may wish to consult the Video Formats and Browser Support heading on W3C's HTML5 Video page to see which browser supports what formats.

Additionally, it's worth checking out the HTML5 Video page on Wikipedia for a basic comparison of the major file formats.

Below is the appropriate video tag (you will need to re-encode your video in WebM or OGG formats as well as your existing mp4):

<video id="video" controls='controls'>
  <source src="videos/clip.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
  <source src="videos/clip.webm" type="video/webm"/>
  <source src="videos/clip.ogv" type="video/ogg"/>
  Your browser doesn't seem to support the video tag.
</video>

Updated Nov. 8, 2013

Network infrastructure giant Cisco has announced plans to open-source an implementation of the H.264 codec, removing the licensing fees that have so far proved a barrier to use by Mozilla. Without getting too deep into the politics of it (see following link for that) this will allow Firefox to support H.264 starting in "early 2014". However, as noted in that link, this still comes with a caveat. The H.264 codec is merely for video, and in the MPEG-4 container it is most commonly paired with the closed-source AAC audio codec. Because of this, playback of H.264 video will work, but audio will depend on whether the end-user has the AAC codec already present on their machine.

The long and short of this is that progress is being made, but you still can't avoid using multiple encodings without using a plugin.

HTML/CSS: Making two floating divs the same height

I had similar problem and in my opinion best option is to use just a little bit of javascript or jquery.

You can get wanted divs to be same height by getting highest div value and applying that value to all other divs. If you have many divs and many solutions i suggest to write little advance js code to find out which of all divs is the highest and then use it's value.

With jquery and 2 divs it's very simple, here is example code:

$('.smaller-div').css('height',$('.higher-div').css('height'));

And for the end, there is 1 last thing. Their padding (top and bottom) must be the same ! If one have larger padding you need to eliminate padding difference.

Logging with Retrofit 2

        OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient=new OkHttpClient.Builder();
        httpClient.addInterceptor(logging);**


        if (retrofit == null) {
            retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                    .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    **.client(httpClient.build())**
                    .build();

Resize on div element

DIV does not fire a resize event, so you won't be able to do exactly what you've coded, but you could look into monitoring DOM properties.

If you are actually working with something like resizables, and that is the only way for a div to change in size, then your resize plugin will probably be implementing a callback of its own.

How do AX, AH, AL map onto EAX?

no your ans is Wrong

Selection of Al and Ah is from AX not from EAX

e.g

EAX=0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0111

So if we call AX it should return

0000 0000 0000 0111

if we call AH it should return

0000 0000

and when we call AL it should return

0000 0111

Example number 2

EAX: 22 33 55 77
AX: 55 77
AH: 55    
AL: 77

example 3

EAX: 1111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0111    
AX= 0000 0000 0000 0111
AH= 0000 0000
AL= 0000 0111

Sleep function Visual Basic

Since you are asking about .NET, you should change the parameter from Long to Integer. .NET's Integer is 32-bit. (Classic VB's integer was only 16-bit.)

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal Milliseconds As Integer)

Really though, the managed method isn't difficult...

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(5000)

Be careful when you do this. In a forms application, you block the message pump and what not, making your program to appear to have hanged. Rarely is sleep a good idea.

How do you format the day of the month to say "11th", "21st" or "23rd" (ordinal indicator)?

Here is an approach that updates a DateTimeFormatter pattern with the correct suffix literal if it finds the pattern d'00', e.g. for day of month 1 it would be replaced with d'st'. Once the pattern has been updated it can then just be fed into the DateTimeFormatter to do the rest.

private static String[] suffixes = {"th", "st", "nd", "rd"};

private static String updatePatternWithDayOfMonthSuffix(TemporalAccessor temporal, String pattern) {
    String newPattern = pattern;
    // Check for pattern `d'00'`.
    if (pattern.matches(".*[d]'00'.*")) {
        int dayOfMonth = temporal.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        int relevantDigits = dayOfMonth < 30 ? dayOfMonth % 20 : dayOfMonth % 30;
        String suffix = suffixes[relevantDigits <= 3 ? relevantDigits : 0];
        newPattern = pattern.replaceAll("[d]'00'", "d'" + suffix + "'");
    }

    return newPattern;
}

It does require that the original pattern is updated just prior to every formatting call, e.g.

public static String format(TemporalAccessor temporal, String pattern) {
    DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(updatePatternWithDayOfMonthSuffix(temporal, pattern));
    return formatter.format(temporal);
}

So this is useful if the formatting pattern is defined outside of Java code, e.g. a template, where as if you can define the pattern in Java then the answer by @OleV.V. might be more appropriate

How do I plot only a table in Matplotlib?

This is another option to write a pandas dataframe directly into a matplotlib table:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# hide axes
fig.patch.set_visible(False)
ax.axis('off')
ax.axis('tight')

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4), columns=list('ABCD'))

ax.table(cellText=df.values, colLabels=df.columns, loc='center')

fig.tight_layout()

plt.show()

Run a controller function whenever a view is opened/shown

For example to @Michael Trouw,

inside your controller put this code. this will run everytime when this state is entered or active, you do not need to worry about disabling cache and it's a better approach.

.controller('exampleCtrl',function($scope){
$scope.$on('$ionicView.enter', function(){
        // Any thing you can think of
        alert("This function just ran away");   
    });
})

You can have more examples of flexibility like $ionicView.beforeEnter -> which runs before a view is shown. And there are some more to it.

Repair all tables in one go

Use following query to print REPAIR SQL statments for all tables inside a database:

select concat('REPAIR TABLE ', table_name, ';') from information_schema.tables 
where table_schema='mydatabase';

After that copy all the queries and execute it on mydatabase.

Note: replace mydatabase with desired DB name

How to set the min and max height or width of a Frame?

A workaround - at least for the minimum size: You can use grid to manage the frames contained in root and make them follow the grid size by setting sticky='nsew'. Then you can use root.grid_rowconfigure and root.grid_columnconfigure to set values for minsize like so:

from tkinter import Frame, Tk

class MyApp():
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = Tk()

        self.my_frame_red = Frame(self.root, bg='red')
        self.my_frame_red.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')

        self.my_frame_blue = Frame(self.root, bg='blue')
        self.my_frame_blue.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='nsew')

        self.root.grid_rowconfigure(0, minsize=200, weight=1)
        self.root.grid_columnconfigure(0, minsize=200, weight=1)
        self.root.grid_columnconfigure(1, weight=1)

        self.root.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = MyApp()

But as Brian wrote (in 2010 :D) you can still resize the window to be smaller than the frame if you don't limit its minsize.

What is the meaning of CTOR?

It's just shorthand for "constructor" - and it's what the constructor is called in IL, too. For example, open up Reflector and look at a type and you'll see members called .ctor for the various constructors.

How to percent-encode URL parameters in Python?

It is better to use urlencode here. Not much difference for single parameter but IMHO makes the code clearer. (It looks confusing to see a function quote_plus! especially those coming from other languates)

In [21]: query='lskdfj/sdfkjdf/ksdfj skfj'

In [22]: val=34

In [23]: from urllib.parse import urlencode

In [24]: encoded = urlencode(dict(p=query,val=val))

In [25]: print(f"http://example.com?{encoded}")
http://example.com?p=lskdfj%2Fsdfkjdf%2Fksdfj+skfj&val=34

List of IP addresses/hostnames from local network in Python

One of the answers in this question might help you. There seems to be a platform agnostic version for python, but I haven't tried it yet.

HTML checkbox onclick called in Javascript

jQuery has a function that can do this:

include the following script in your head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

(or just download the jQuery.js file online and include it locally)

use this script to toggle the check box when the input is clicked:

var toggle = false;
$("#INPUTNAMEHERE").click(function() {
        $("input[type=checkbox]").attr("checked",!toggle);
        toggle = !toggle;
});

That should do what you want if I understood what you were trying to do.

How to sort a HashSet?

Java 8 way to sort it would be:

fooHashSet.stream()
  .sorted(Comparator.comparing(Foo::getSize)) //comparator - how you want to sort it
  .collect(Collectors.toList()); //collector - what you want to collect it to

*Foo::getSize it's an example how to sort the HashSet of YourItem's naturally by size.

*Collectors.toList() is going to collect the result of sorting into a List the you will need to capture it with List<Foo> sortedListOfFoo =

move a virtual machine from one vCenter to another vCenter

You don't have to export your VMs at all. You can move the VM and clone to a TAXI host in vCenter 1. Then add the host to vCenter 2, and vMotion away whatever VMs to other hosts previously managed by vCenter 2. When done, you can add the TAXI host back to vCenter 1.

Should I use scipy.pi, numpy.pi, or math.pi?

One thing to note is that not all libraries will use the same meaning for pi, of course, so it never hurts to know what you're using. For example, the symbolic math library Sympy's representation of pi is not the same as math and numpy:

import math
import numpy
import scipy
import sympy

print(math.pi == numpy.pi)
> True
print(math.pi == scipy.pi)
> True
print(math.pi == sympy.pi)
> False

WCF service startup error "This collection already contains an address with scheme http"

Summary,

Code solution: Here

Configuration solutions: Here

With the help of Mike Chaliy, I found some solutions on how to do this through code. Because this issue is going to affect pretty much all projects we deploy to a live environment I held out for a purely configuration solution. I eventually found one which details how to do it in .net 3.0 and .net 3.5.

Taken from the site, below is an example of how to alter your applications web config:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment>
        <baseAddressPrefixFilters>
            <add prefix="net.tcp://payroll.myorg.com:8000"/>
            <add prefix="http://shipping.myorg.com:9000"/>
        </baseAddressPrefixFilters>
    </serviceHostingEnvironment>
</system.serviceModel>

In the above example, net.tcp://payroll.myorg.com:8000 and http://shipping.myorg.com:9000 are the only base addresses, for their respective schemes, which will be allowed to be passed through. The baseAddressPrefixFilter does not support any wildcards .

The baseAddresses supplied by IIS may have addresses bound to other schemes not present in baseAddressPrefixFilter list. These addresses will not be filtered out.

Dns solution (untested): I think that if you created a new dns entry specific to your web application, added a new web site, and gave it a single host header matching the dns entry, you would mitigate this issue altogether, and would not have to write custom code or add prefixes to your web.config file.

How to trigger HTML button when you press Enter in textbox?

Replace the button with a submit

Multiple Python versions on the same machine?

Package Managers - user-level

For a package manager that can install and manage multiple versions of python, these are good choices:

pyenv - only able to install and manage versions of python
asdf - able to install and manage many different languages

The advantages to these package managers is that it may be easier to set them up and install multiple versions of python with them than it is to install python from source. They also provide commands for easily changing the available python version(s) using shims and setting the python version per-directory.

This disadvantage is that, by default, they are installed at the user-level (inside your home directory) and require a little bit of user-level configuration - you'll need to edit your ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc or similar files. This means that it is not easy to use them to install multiple python versions globally for all users. In order to do this, you can install from source alongside the OS's existing python version.

Installation from source - system-wide

You'll need root privileges for this method.

See the official python documentation for building from source for additional considerations and options.

/usr/local is the designated location for a system administrator to install shared (system-wide) software, so it's subdirectories are a good place to download the python source and install. See section 4.9 of the Linux Foundation's File Hierarchy Standard.

Install any build dependencies. On Debian-based systems, use:

apt update
apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev libbz2-dev

Choose which python version you want to install. See the Python Source Releases page for a listing.

Download and unzip file in /usr/local/src, replacing X.X.X below with the python version (i.e. 3.8.2).

cd /usr/local/src
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/X.X.X/Python-X.X.X.tgz
tar vzxf Python-X.X.X.tgz

Before building and installing, set the CFLAGS environment variable with C compiler flags necessary (see GNU's make documentation). This is usually not necessary for general use, but if, for example, you were going to create a uWSGI plugin with this python version, you might want to set the flags, -fPIC, with the following:

export CFLAGS='-fPIC'

Change the working directory to the unzipped python source directory, and configure the build. You'll probably want to use the --enable-optimizations option on the ./configure command for profile guided optimization. Use --prefix=/usr/local to install to the proper subdirectories (/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc.).

cd Python-X.X.X
./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/usr/local

Build the project with make and install with make altinstall to avoid overriding any files when installing multiple versions. See the warning on this page of the python build documentation.

make -j 4
make altinstall

Then you should be able to run your new python and pip versions with pythonX.X and pipX.X (i.e python3.8 and pip3.8). Note that if the minor version of your new installation is the same as the OS's version (for example if you were installing python3.8.4 and the OS used python3.8.2), then you would need to specify the entire path (/usr/local/bin/pythonX.X) or set an alias to use this version.

How to fix "could not find a base address that matches schema http"... in WCF

Only the first base address in the list will be taken over (coming from IIS). You can't have multiple base addresses per scheme prior to .NET4.

PHP removing a character in a string

While a regexp would suit here just fine, I'll present you with an alternative method. It might be a tad faster than the equivalent regexp, but life's all about choices (...or something).

$length = strlen($urlString);
for ($i=0; $i<$length; i++) {
  if ($urlString[$i] === '?') {
    $urlString[$i+1] = '';
    break;
  }
}

Weird, I know.

How to force R to use a specified factor level as reference in a regression?

Others have mentioned the relevel command which is the best solution if you want to change the base level for all analyses on your data (or are willing to live with changing the data).

If you don't want to change the data (this is a one time change, but in the future you want the default behavior again), then you can use a combination of the C (note uppercase) function to set contrasts and the contr.treatments function with the base argument for choosing which level you want to be the baseline.

For example:

lm( Sepal.Width ~ C(Species,contr.treatment(3, base=2)), data=iris )

How do I add a ToolTip to a control?

Just subscribe to the control's ToolTipTextNeeded event, and return e.TooltipText, much simpler.

Auto-size dynamic text to fill fixed size container

I forked the script above from Marcus Ekwall: https://gist.github.com/3945316 and tweaked it to my preferences, it now fires when the window is resized, so that the child always fits its container. I've pasted the script below for reference.

(function($) {
    $.fn.textfill = function(maxFontSize) {
        maxFontSize = parseInt(maxFontSize, 10);
        return this.each(function(){
            var ourText = $("span", this);
            function resizefont(){
                var parent = ourText.parent(),
                maxHeight = parent.height(),
                maxWidth = parent.width(),
                fontSize = parseInt(ourText.css("fontSize"), 10),
                multiplier = maxWidth/ourText.width(),
                newSize = (fontSize*(multiplier));
                ourText.css("fontSize", maxFontSize > 0 && newSize > maxFontSize ? maxFontSize : newSize );
            }
            $(window).resize(function(){
                resizefont();
            });
            resizefont();
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

Page redirect after certain time PHP

The PHP refresh after 5 seconds didn't work for me when opening a Save As dialogue to save a file: (header('Content-type: text/plain'); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename>");)

After the Save As link was clicked, and file was saved, the timed refresh stopped on the calling page.

However, thank you very much, ibu's javascript solution just kept on ticking and refreshing my webpage, which is what I needed for my specific application. So thank you ibu for posting javascript solution to php problem here.

You can use javascript to redirect after some time

setTimeout(function () {    
    window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com'; 
},5000); // 5 seconds

Format certain floating dataframe columns into percentage in pandas

As suggested by @linqu you should not change your data for presentation. Since pandas 0.17.1, (conditional) formatting was made easier. Quoting the documentation:

You can apply conditional formatting, the visual styling of a DataFrame depending on the data within, by using the DataFrame.style property. This is a property that returns a pandas.Styler object, which has useful methods for formatting and displaying DataFrames.

For your example, that would be (the usual table will show up in Jupyter):

df.style.format({
    'var1': '{:,.2f}'.format,
    'var2': '{:,.2f}'.format,
    'var3': '{:,.2%}'.format,
})

Required attribute on multiple checkboxes with the same name?

Sorry, now I've read what you expected better, so I'm updating the answer.

Based on the HTML5 Specs from W3C, nothing is wrong. I created this JSFiddle test and it's behaving correctly based on the specs (for those browsers based on the specs, like Chrome 11 and Firefox 4):

_x000D_

<form>_x000D_
    <input type="checkbox" name="q" id="a-0" required autofocus>_x000D_
    <label for="a-0">a-1</label>_x000D_
    <br>_x000D_
_x000D_
    <input type="checkbox" name="q" id="a-1" required>_x000D_
    <label for="a-1">a-2</label>_x000D_
    <br>_x000D_
_x000D_
    <input type="checkbox" name="q" id="a-2" required>_x000D_
    <label for="a-2">a-3</label>_x000D_
    <br>_x000D_
_x000D_
    <input type="submit">_x000D_
</form>

_x000D_

I agree that it isn't very usable (in fact many people have complained about it in the W3C's mailing lists).

But browsers are just following the standard's recommendations, which is correct. The standard is a little misleading, but we can't do anything about it in practice. You can always use JavaScript for form validation, though, like some great jQuery validation plugin.

Another approach would be choosing a polyfill that can make (almost) all browsers interpret form validation rightly.

How do I execute a string containing Python code in Python?

In the example a string is executed as code using the exec function.

import sys
import StringIO

# create file-like string to capture output
codeOut = StringIO.StringIO()
codeErr = StringIO.StringIO()

code = """
def f(x):
    x = x + 1
    return x

print 'This is my output.'
"""

# capture output and errors
sys.stdout = codeOut
sys.stderr = codeErr

exec code

# restore stdout and stderr
sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
sys.stderr = sys.__stderr__

print f(4)

s = codeErr.getvalue()

print "error:\n%s\n" % s

s = codeOut.getvalue()

print "output:\n%s" % s

codeOut.close()
codeErr.close()

Extracting just Month and Year separately from Pandas Datetime column

SINGLE LINE: Adding a column with 'year-month'-paires: ('pd.to_datetime' first changes the column dtype to date-time before the operation)

df['yyyy'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate']).dt.strftime('%Y')?
df['mm'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ArrivalDate']).dt.strftime('%m')?

How to run docker-compose up -d at system start up?

Linq filter List<string> where it contains a string value from another List<string>

its even easier:

fileList.Where(item => filterList.Contains(item))

in case you want to filter not for an exact match but for a "contains" you can use this expression:

var t = fileList.Where(file => filterList.Any(folder => file.ToUpperInvariant().Contains(folder.ToUpperInvariant())));

Write bytes to file

This example reads 6 bytes into a byte array and writes it to another byte array. It does an XOR operation with the bytes so that the result written to the file is the same as the original starting values. The file is always 6 bytes in size, since it writes at position 0.

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
        byte[] b1 = { 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 };
        byte[] b2 = new byte[6];
        byte[] b3 = new byte[6];
        byte[] b4 = new byte[6];

        FileStream f1;
        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);

        // write the byte array into a new file
        f1.Write(b1, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // read the byte array
        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

        f1.Read(b2, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // make changes to the byte array
        for (int i = 1; i < b2.Length; i++)
        {
            b2[i] = (byte)(b2[i] ^ (byte)10); //xor 10
        }

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);
        // write the new byte array into the file
        f1.Write(b2, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

        // read the byte array
        f1.Read(b3, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();

        // make changes to the byte array
        for (int i = 1; i < b3.Length; i++)
        {
            b4[i] = (byte)(b3[i] ^ (byte)10); //xor 10
        }

        f1 = new FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write);

        // b4 will have the same values as b1
        f1.Write(b4, 0, 6);
        f1.Close();
        }
    }
}

Installing specific package versions with pip

Sometimes, the previously installed version is cached.

~$ pip install pillow==5.2.0

It returns the followings:
Requirement already satisfied: pillow==5.2.0 in /home/ubuntu/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages (5.2.0)

We can use --no-cache-dir together with -I to overwrite this

~$ pip install --no-cache-dir -I pillow==5.2.0

Using app.config in .Net Core

To get started with dotnet core, SqlServer and EF core the below DBContextOptionsBuilder would sufice and you do not need to create App.config file. Do not forget to change the sever address and database name in the below code.

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder options)
        => options.UseSqlServer(@"Server=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=True;");

To use the EF core SqlServer provider and compile the above code install the EF SqlServer package

dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

After compilation before running the code do the following for the first time

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
dotnet ef database update

To run the code

dotnet run

Applying an ellipsis to multiline text

I took a look at how YouTube solves it on their homepage and simplified it:

.multine-ellipsis {
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  white-space: normal;
}

This will allow 2 lines of code and then append an ellipsis.

concatenate two strings

The best way in my eyes is to use the concat() method provided by the String class itself.

The useage would, in your case, look like this:

String myConcatedString = cursor.getString(numcol).concat('-').
       concat(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(db.KEY_DESTINATIE)));

You need to nest the interior columns inside of a row rather than just another column. It offsets the padding caused by the column with negative margins.

A simpler way would be

<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
       <div class="col-md-4">  
          <a href="">About</a>
       </div>
       <div class="col-md-4">
          <img src="image.png">
       </div>
       <div class="col-md-4"> 
           <a href="#myModal1" data-toggle="modal">SHARE</a>
       </div>
    </div>
</div>

What's the difference between import java.util.*; and import java.util.Date; ?

You probably have some other "Date" class imported somewhere (or you have a Date class in you package, which does not need to be imported). With "import java.util.*" you are using the "other" Date. In this case it's best to explicitly specify java.util.Date in the code.

Or better, try to avoid naming your classes "Date".

How to avoid the "Circular view path" exception with Spring MVC test

I am using Spring Boot to try and load a webpage, not test, and had this problem. My solution was a bit different than those above considering the slightly different circumstances. (although those answers helpled me understand.)

I simply had to change my Spring Boot starter dependency in Maven from:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

to:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>

Just changing the 'web' to 'thymeleaf' fixed the problem for me.

Float a div right, without impacting on design

If you don't want the image to affect the layout at all (and float on top of other content) you can apply the following CSS to the image:

position:absolute;
right:0;
top:0;

If you want it to float at the right of a particular parent section, you can add position: relative to that section.

Executing command line programs from within python

If you're concerned about server performance then look at capping the number of running sox processes. If the cap has been hit you can always cache the request and inform the user when it's finished in whichever way suits your application.

Alternatively, have the n worker scripts on other machines that pull requests from the db and call sox, and then push the resulting output file to where it needs to be.

How can I check if a program exists from a Bash script?

I'd say there isn't any portable and 100% reliable way due to dangling aliases. For example:

alias john='ls --color'
alias paul='george -F'
alias george='ls -h'
alias ringo=/

Of course, only the last one is problematic (no offence to Ringo!). But all of them are valid aliases from the point of view of command -v.

In order to reject dangling ones like ringo, we have to parse the output of the shell built-in alias command and recurse into them (command -v isn't a superior to alias here.) There isn't any portable solution for it, and even a Bash-specific solution is rather tedious.

Note that a solution like this will unconditionally reject alias ls='ls -F':

test() { command -v $1 | grep -qv alias }

How to preserve aspect ratio when scaling image using one (CSS) dimension in IE6?

Adam Luter gave me the idea for this, but it actually turned out to be really simple:

}

IE6 now scales the image fine and this seems to be what all the other browsers use by default.

Thanks for both the answers though!

Windows

Some of the above values are easily available from the appropriate WIN32 API, I just list them here for completeness. Others, however, need to be obtained from the Performance Data Helper library (PDH), which is a bit "unintuitive" and takes a lot of painful trial and error to get to work. (At least it took me quite a while, perhaps I've been only a bit stupid...)

Note: for clarity all error checking has been omitted from the following code. Do check the return codes...!

Linux

On Linux the choice that seemed obvious at first was to use the POSIX APIs like getrusage() etc. I spent some time trying to get this to work, but never got meaningful values. When I finally checked the kernel sources themselves, I found out that apparently these APIs are not yet completely implemented as of Linux kernel 2.6!?

In the end I got all values via a combination of reading the pseudo-filesystem /proc and kernel calls.

Why should you use strncpy instead of strcpy?

The strncpy() function was designed with a very particular problem in mind: manipulating strings stored in the manner of original UNIX directory entries. These used a fixed sized array, and a nul-terminator was only used if the filename was shorter than the array.

That's what's behind the two oddities of strncpy():

It doesn't put a nul-terminator on the destination if it is completely filled; and
It always completely fills the destination, with nuls if necessary.

For a "safer strcpy()", you are better off using strncat() like so:

if (dest_size > 0)
{
    dest[0] = '\0';
    strncat(dest, source, dest_size - 1);
}

That will always nul-terminate the result, and won't copy more than necessary.

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

How can I use/create dynamic template to compile dynamic Component with Angular 2.0?

Solved this in Angular 2 Final version simply by using the dynamicComponent directive from ng-dynamic.

Usage:

<div *dynamicComponent="template; context: {text: text};"></div>

Where template is your dynamic template and context can be set to any dynamic datamodel that you want your template to bind to.

How to allow only numbers in textbox in mvc4 razor

Maybe you can use the [Integer] data annotation (If you use the DataAnnotationsExtensions http://dataannotationsextensions.org/) . However, this wil only check if the value is an integer, nót if it is filled in (So you may also need the [Required] attribute).

If you enable Unobtrusive Validation it will validate it clientside, but you should also use Modelstate.Valid in your POST action to decline it in case people have Javascript disabled.

querySelector and querySelectorAll vs getElementsByClassName and getElementById in JavaScript

I would like to know what exactly is the difference between querySelector and querySelectorAll against getElementsByClassName and getElementById?

The syntax and the browser support.

querySelector is more useful when you want to use more complex selectors.

e.g. All list items descended from an element that is a member of the foo class: .foo li

document.querySelector("#view:_id1:inputText1") it doesn't work. But writing document.getElementById("view:_id1:inputText1") works. Any ideas why?

The : character has special meaning inside a selector. You have to escape it. (The selector escape character has special meaning in a JS string too, so you have to escape that too).

document.querySelector("#view\\:_id1\\:inputText1")

When is it appropriate to use UDP instead of TCP?

UDP is a connection-less protocol and is used in protocols like SNMP and DNS in which data packets arriving out of order is acceptable and immediate transmission of the data packet matters.

It is used in SNMP since network management must often be done when the network is in stress i.e. when reliable, congestion-controlled data transfer is difficult to achieve.

It is used in DNS since it does not involve connection establishment, thereby avoiding connection establishment delays.

Read files from a Folder present in project

This was helpful for me, if you use the

var dir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

the path fill be beyond the current folder, it will incluide this path \bin\debug What I recommend you, is that you can use the

string dir = Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()).Parent.Parent.FullName

then print the dir value and verify the path is giving you

jQuery returning "parsererror" for ajax request

If you get this problem using HTTP GET in IE I solved this issue by setting the cache: false. As I used the same url for both HTML and json requests it hit the cache instead of doing a json call.

$.ajax({
    url: '/Test/Something/',
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'json',
    cache: false,
    data: { viewID: $("#view").val() },
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data);
    },
    error: function (data) {
        debugger;
        alert("Error");
    }
});

executing shell command in background from script

Building off of ngoozeff's answer, if you want to make a command run completely in the background (i.e., if you want to hide its output and prevent it from being killed when you close its Terminal window), you can do this instead:

cmd="google-chrome";
"${cmd}" &>/dev/null & disown;

&>/dev/null sets the command’s stdout and stderr to /dev/null instead of inheriting them from the parent process.
& makes the shell run the command in the background.
disown removes the “current” job, last one stopped or put in the background, from under the shell’s job control.

In some shells you can also use &! instead of & disown; they both have the same effect. Bash doesn’t support &!, though.

Also, when putting a command inside of a variable, it's more proper to use eval "${cmd}" rather than "${cmd}":

cmd="google-chrome";
eval "${cmd}" &>/dev/null & disown;

If you run this command directly in Terminal, it will show the PID of the process which the command starts. But inside of a shell script, no output will be shown.

Here's a function for it:

#!/bin/bash

# Run a command in the background.
_evalBg() {
    eval "$@" &>/dev/null & disown;
}

cmd="google-chrome";
_evalBg "${cmd}";

Also, see: Running bash commands in the background properly

How to watch and compile all TypeScript sources?

TypeScript 1.5 beta has introduced support for a configuration file called tsconfig.json. In that file you can configure the compiler, define code formatting rules and more importantly for you, provide it with information about the TS files in your project.

Once correctly configured, you can simply run the tsc command and have it compile all the TypeScript code in your project.

If you want to have it watch the files for changes then you can simply add --watch to the tsc command.

Here's an example tsconfig.json file

{
"compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "removeComments": true,
    "noLib": false
},
"include": [
    "**/*"
],
"exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "**/*.spec.ts"
]}

In the example above, I include all .ts files in my project (recursively). Note that you can also exclude files using an "exclude" property with an array.

For more information, refer to the documentation: http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html

Merge trunk to branch in Subversion

Paste multiple columns together

As a variant on baptiste's answer, with data defined as you have and the columns that you want to put together defined in cols

cols <- c("b", "c", "d")

You can add the new column to data and delete the old ones with

data$x <- do.call(paste, c(data[cols], sep="-"))
for (co in cols) data[co] <- NULL

which gives

> data
  a     x
1 1 a-d-g
2 2 b-e-h
3 3 c-f-i

How does one convert a grayscale image to RGB in OpenCV (Python)?

I am promoting my comment to an answer:

The easy way is:

You could draw in the original 'frame' itself instead of using gray image.

The hard way (method you were trying to implement):

backtorgb = cv2.cvtColor(gray,cv2.COLOR_GRAY2RGB) is the correct syntax.

Regular expression to remove HTML tags from a string

You should not attempt to parse HTML with regex. HTML is not a regular language, so any regex you come up with will likely fail on some esoteric edge case. Please refer to the seminal answer to this question for specifics. While mostly formatted as a joke, it makes a very good point.

The following examples are Java, but the regex will be similar -- if not identical -- for other languages.

String target = someString.replaceAll("<[^>]*>", "");

Assuming your non-html does not contain any < or > and that your input string is correctly structured.

If you know they're a specific tag -- for example you know the text contains only <td> tags, you could do something like this:

String target = someString.replaceAll("(?i)<td[^>]*>", "");

Edit: Omega brought up a good point in a comment on another post that this would result in multiple results all being squished together if there were multiple tags.

For example, if the input string were <td>Something</td><td>Another Thing</td>, then the above would result in SomethingAnother Thing.

In a situation where multiple tags are expected, we could do something like:

String target = someString.replaceAll("(?i)<td[^>]*>", " ").replaceAll("\\s+", " ").trim();

This replaces the HTML with a single space, then collapses whitespace, and then trims any on the ends.

Why should we NOT use sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8") in a py script?

As per the documentation: This allows you to switch from the default ASCII to other encodings such as UTF-8, which the Python runtime will use whenever it has to decode a string buffer to unicode.

This function is only available at Python start-up time, when Python scans the environment. It has to be called in a system-wide module, sitecustomize.py, After this module has been evaluated, the setdefaultencoding() function is removed from the sys module.

The only way to actually use it is with a reload hack that brings the attribute back.

Also, the use of sys.setdefaultencoding() has always been discouraged, and it has become a no-op in py3k. The encoding of py3k is hard-wired to "utf-8" and changing it raises an error.

PostgreSQL: Resetting password of PostgreSQL on Ubuntu

Assuming you're the administrator of the machine, Ubuntu has granted you the right to sudo to run any command as any user.
Also assuming you did not restrict the rights in the pg_hba.conf file (in the /etc/postgresql/9.1/main directory), it should contain this line as the first rule:

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket  
local   all             postgres                                peer

(About the file location: 9.1 is the major postgres version and main the name of your "cluster". It will differ if using a newer version of postgres or non-default names. Use the pg_lsclusters command to obtain this information for your version/system).

Anyway, if the pg_hba.conf file does not have that line, edit the file, add it, and reload the service with sudo service postgresql reload.

Then you should be able to log in with psql as the postgres superuser with this shell command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once inside psql, issue the SQL command:

ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'newpassword';

In this command, postgres is the name of a superuser. If the user whose password is forgotten was ritesh, the command would be:

ALTER USER ritesh PASSWORD 'newpassword';

References: PostgreSQL 9.1.13 Documentation, Chapter 19. Client Authentication

Keep in mind that you need to type postgres with a single S at the end

If leaving the password in clear text in the history of commands or the server log is a problem, psql provides an interactive meta-command to avoid that, as an alternative to ALTER USER ... PASSWORD:

\password username

It asks for the password with a double blind input, then hashes it according to the password_encryption setting and issue the ALTER USER command to the server with the hashed version of the password, instead of the clear text version.

Pass data from Activity to Service using an Intent

Pass data from Activity to IntentService

This is how I pass data from Activity to IntentService.

One of my application has this scenario.

MusicActivity ------url(String)------> DownloadSongService

1) Send Data (Activity code)

  Intent intent  = new Intent(MusicActivity.class, DownloadSongService.class);
  String songUrl = "something"; 
  intent.putExtra(YOUR_KEY_SONG_NAME, songUrl);
  startService(intent);

2) Get data in Service (IntentService code)
You can access the intent in the onHandleIntent() method

public class DownloadSongService extends IntentService {

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent) {

        String songUrl = intent.getStringExtra("YOUR_KEY_SONG_NAME");

        //  Download File logic
    
    }

}

java: use StringBuilder to insert at the beginning

This thread is quite old, but you could also think about a recursive solution passing the StringBuilder to fill. This allows to prevent any reverse processing etc. Just need to design your iteration with a recursion and carefully decide for an exit condition.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        doRecursive(sb, 100, 0);
        System.out.println(sb.toString());
    }

    public static void doRecursive(StringBuilder sb, int limit, int index) {
        if (index < limit) {
            doRecursive(sb, limit, index + 1);
            sb.append(Integer.toString(index));
        }
    }
}

Simple way to encode a string according to a password?

I'll give 4 solutions:

1) Using Fernet encryption with `cryptography` library

Here is a solution using the package cryptography, that you can install as usual with pip install cryptography:

import base64
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet, InvalidToken
from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC

def cipherFernet(password):
    key = PBKDF2HMAC(algorithm=hashes.SHA256(), length=32, salt=b'abcd', iterations=1000, backend=default_backend()).derive(password)
    return Fernet(base64.urlsafe_b64encode(key))

def encrypt1(plaintext, password):
    return cipherFernet(password).encrypt(plaintext)

def decrypt1(ciphertext, password):
    return cipherFernet(password).decrypt(ciphertext)

# Example:

print(encrypt1(b'John Doe', b'mypass'))  
# b'gAAAAABd53tHaISVxFO3MyUexUFBmE50DUV5AnIvc3LIgk5Qem1b3g_Y_hlI43DxH6CiK4YjYHCMNZ0V0ExdF10JvoDw8ejGjg=='
print(decrypt1(b'gAAAAABd53tHaISVxFO3MyUexUFBmE50DUV5AnIvc3LIgk5Qem1b3g_Y_hlI43DxH6CiK4YjYHCMNZ0V0ExdF10JvoDw8ejGjg==', b'mypass')) 
# b'John Doe'
try:  # test with a wrong password
    print(decrypt1(b'gAAAAABd53tHaISVxFO3MyUexUFBmE50DUV5AnIvc3LIgk5Qem1b3g_Y_hlI43DxH6CiK4YjYHCMNZ0V0ExdF10JvoDw8ejGjg==', b'wrongpass')) 
except InvalidToken:
    print('Wrong password')

You can adapt with your own salt, iteration count, etc. This code is not very far from @HCLivess's answer but the goal is here to have ready-to-use encrypt and decrypt functions. Source: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/fernet/#using-passwords-with-fernet.

Note: use .encode() and .decode() everywhere if you want strings 'John Doe' instead of bytes like b'John Doe'.

2) Simple AES encryption with `Crypto` library

This works with Python 3:

import base64
from Crypto import Random
from Crypto.Hash import SHA256
from Crypto.Cipher import AES

def cipherAES(password, iv):
    key = SHA256.new(password).digest()
    return AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv)

def encrypt2(plaintext, password):
    iv = Random.new().read(AES.block_size)
    return base64.b64encode(iv + cipherAES(password, iv).encrypt(plaintext))

def decrypt2(ciphertext, password):
    d = base64.b64decode(ciphertext)
    iv, ciphertext = d[:AES.block_size], d[AES.block_size:]
    return cipherAES(password, iv).decrypt(ciphertext)

# Example:    

print(encrypt2(b'John Doe', b'mypass'))
print(decrypt2(b'B/2dGPZTD8V22cIVKfp2gD2tTJG/UfP/', b'mypass'))
print(decrypt2(b'B/2dGPZTD8V22cIVKfp2gD2tTJG/UfP/', b'wrongpass'))  # wrong password: no error, but garbled output

Note: you can remove base64.b64encode and .b64decode if you don't want text-readable output and/or if you want to save the ciphertext to disk as a binary file anyway.

3) AES using a better password key derivation function and the ability to test if "wrong password entered", with `Crypto` library

The solution 2) with AES "CFB mode" is ok, but has two drawbacks: the fact that SHA256(password) can be easily bruteforced with a lookup table, and that there is no way to test if a wrong password has been entered. This is solved here by the use of AES in "GCM mode", as discussed in AES: how to detect that a bad password has been entered? and Is this method to say “The password you entered is wrong” secure?:

import Crypto.Random, Crypto.Protocol.KDF, Crypto.Cipher.AES

def cipherAES_GCM(pwd, nonce):
    key = Crypto.Protocol.KDF.PBKDF2(pwd, nonce, count=100000)
    return Crypto.Cipher.AES.new(key, Crypto.Cipher.AES.MODE_GCM, nonce=nonce, mac_len=16)

def encrypt3(plaintext, password):
    nonce = Crypto.Random.new().read(16)
    return nonce + b''.join(cipherAES_GCM(password, nonce).encrypt_and_digest(plaintext))  # you case base64.b64encode it if needed

def decrypt3(ciphertext, password):
    nonce, ciphertext, tag = ciphertext[:16], ciphertext[16:len(ciphertext)-16], ciphertext[-16:]
    return cipherAES_GCM(password, nonce).decrypt_and_verify(ciphertext, tag)

# Example:

print(encrypt3(b'John Doe', b'mypass'))
print(decrypt3(b'\xbaN_\x90R\xdf\xa9\xc7\xd6\x16/\xbb!\xf5Q\xa9]\xe5\xa5\xaf\x81\xc3\n2e/("I\xb4\xab5\xa6ezu\x8c%\xa50', b'mypass'))
try:
    print(decrypt3(b'\xbaN_\x90R\xdf\xa9\xc7\xd6\x16/\xbb!\xf5Q\xa9]\xe5\xa5\xaf\x81\xc3\n2e/("I\xb4\xab5\xa6ezu\x8c%\xa50', b'wrongpass'))
except ValueError:
    print("Wrong password")

4) Using RC4 (no library needed)

Adapted from https://github.com/bozhu/RC4-Python/blob/master/rc4.py.

def PRGA(S):
    i = 0
    j = 0
    while True:
        i = (i + 1) % 256
        j = (j + S[i]) % 256
        S[i], S[j] = S[j], S[i]
        yield S[(S[i] + S[j]) % 256]

def encryptRC4(plaintext, key, hexformat=False):
    key, plaintext = bytearray(key), bytearray(plaintext)  # necessary for py2, not for py3
    S = list(range(256))
    j = 0
    for i in range(256):
        j = (j + S[i] + key[i % len(key)]) % 256
        S[i], S[j] = S[j], S[i]
    keystream = PRGA(S)
    return b''.join(b"%02X" % (c ^ next(keystream)) for c in plaintext) if hexformat else bytearray(c ^ next(keystream) for c in plaintext)

print(encryptRC4(b'John Doe', b'mypass'))                           # b'\x88\xaf\xc1\x04\x8b\x98\x18\x9a'
print(encryptRC4(b'\x88\xaf\xc1\x04\x8b\x98\x18\x9a', b'mypass'))   # b'John Doe'

(Outdated since the latest edits, but kept for future reference): I had problems using Windows + Python 3.6 + all the answers involving pycrypto (not able to pip install pycrypto on Windows) or pycryptodome (the answers here with from Crypto.Cipher import XOR failed because XOR is not supported by this pycrypto fork ; and the solutions using ... AES failed too with TypeError: Object type <class 'str'> cannot be passed to C code). Also, the library simple-crypt has pycrypto as dependency, so it's not an option.

Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0'

I ran into the same problem testing ASP.NET Web API

Developed Web.Host in Visual Studio 2013 Express Database created in SQL Server 2012 Express Executed test using built in IIS Express (working) Modified to use IIS Local (from properties page - web option) Ran test with Fiddler Received error - unable to open database for provider.... citing 'APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'

Solution that worked.

In IIS

Click on application pool 'DefaultAppPool' Set Identify = 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' Set .NET framework = v4.0 (even though my app was 4.5)

In SQL Server Management Studio

Right click on Security folder (under the SQL Server engine so applies to all tables) Right click on User and add 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool' In securables on the 'Grant' column check the options you want to give. Regarding the above if you are a DBA you probably know and want to control what those options are. If you are like me a developer just wanted to test your WEB API service which happens to also access SQL Server through EF 6 in MVC style then just check off everything. :) Yes I know but it worked.

This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 7.1.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.2.0.

source: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-encrypt.php

So you have to replace the php code and find a solution without mcrypt.

Or, I just found out, you can STILL use mcrypt in PHP 7.2.0, but you have to install it as a PHP Extension Community Library. (https://pecl.php.net/)

On Debian/Ubuntu Linux distros:

sudo apt-get -y install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config
sudo apt-get -y install php7.2-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libmcrypt-dev

then:

sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1

}rect_t;
rect_t temp;


int main()
{
//rotate
    RotateRect(&temp);
    return 0;
}

void RotateRect(rect_t *givenRect)
{
    point_t temp_point;
    /*Copy struct data from struct to struct within a struct*/
    temp_point = givenRect->sw;
    givenRect->sw = givenRect->se;
    givenRect->se = givenRect->ne;
    givenRect->ne = givenRect->nw;
    givenRect->nw = temp_point;
}

How to hide a div with jQuery?

$("#myDiv").hide();

will set the css display to none. if you need to set visibility to hidden as well, could do this via

$("#myDiv").css("visibility", "hidden");

or combine both in a chain

$("#myDiv").hide().css("visibility", "hidden");

or write everything with one css() function

$("#myDiv").css({
  display: "none",
  visibility: "hidden"
});

How to use vim in the terminal?

Get started quickly

You simply type vim into the terminal to open it and start a new file.

You can pass a filename as an option and it will open that file, e.g. vim main.c. You can open multiple files by passing multiple file arguments.

Vim has different modes, unlike most editors you have probably used. You begin in NORMAL mode, which is where you will spend most of your time once you become familiar with vim.

To return to NORMAL mode after changing to a different mode, press Esc. It's a good idea to map your Caps Lock key to Esc, as it's closer and nobody really uses the Caps Lock key.

The first mode to try is INSERT mode, which is entered with a for append after cursor, or i for insert before cursor.

To enter VISUAL mode, where you can select text, use v. There are many other variants of this mode, which you will discover as you learn more about vim.

To save your file, ensure you're in NORMAL mode and then enter the command :w. When you press :, you will see your command appear in the bottom status bar. To save and exit, use :x. To quit without saving, use :q. If you had made a change you wanted to discard, use :q!.

Configure vim to your liking

You can edit your ~/.vimrc file to configure vim to your liking. It's best to look at a few first (here's mine) and then decide which options suits your style.

This is how mine looks:

To get the file explorer on the left, use NERDTree. For the status bar, use vim-airline. Finally, the color scheme is solarized.

Further learning

You can use man vim for some help inside the terminal. Alternatively, run vimtutor which is a good hands-on starting point.

It's a good idea to print out a Vim Cheatsheet and keep it in front of you while you're learning vim.

Good luck!

What's the difference between ng-model and ng-bind

ngModel usually use for input tags for bind a variable that we can change variable from controller and html page but ngBind use for display a variable in html page and we can change variable just from controller and html just show variable.

Get image data url in JavaScript?

This Function takes the URL then returns the image BASE64

function getBase64FromImageUrl(url) {
    var img = new Image();

    img.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous');

    img.onload = function () {
        var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
        canvas.width =this.width;
        canvas.height =this.height;

        var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
        ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0);

        var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");

        alert(dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpg);base64,/, ""));
    };

    img.src = url;
}

Call it like this : getBase64FromImageUrl("images/slbltxt.png")

Android open pdf file

    pdfIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY)

    //Create Viewer Intent
    val viewerIntent = Intent.createChooser(pdfIntent, "Open PDF")
    context.startActivity(viewerIntent)
}

MVC Form not able to post List of objects

Your model is null because the way you're supplying the inputs to your form means the model binder has no way to distinguish between the elements. Right now, this code:

@foreach (var planVM in Model)
{
    @Html.Partial("_partialView", planVM)
}

is not supplying any kind of index to those items. So it would repeatedly generate HTML output like this:

<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix.PlanID" />
<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix.CurrentPlan" />
<input type="checkbox" name="yourmodelprefix.ShouldCompare" />

However, as you're wanting to bind to a collection, you need your form elements to be named with an index, such as:

<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix[0].PlanID" />
<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix[0].CurrentPlan" />
<input type="checkbox" name="yourmodelprefix[0].ShouldCompare" />
<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix[1].PlanID" />
<input type="hidden" name="yourmodelprefix[1].CurrentPlan" />
<input type="checkbox" name="yourmodelprefix[1].ShouldCompare" />

That index is what enables the model binder to associate the separate pieces of data, allowing it to construct the correct model. So here's what I'd suggest you do to fix it. Rather than looping over your collection, using a partial view, leverage the power of templates instead. Here's the steps you'd need to follow:

Create an EditorTemplates folder inside your view's current folder (e.g. if your view is Home\Index.cshtml, create the folder Home\EditorTemplates).
Create a strongly-typed view in that directory with the name that matches your model. In your case that would be PlanCompareViewModel.cshtml.

Now, everything you have in your partial view wants to go in that template:

@model PlanCompareViewModel
<div>
    @Html.HiddenFor(p => p.PlanID)
    @Html.HiddenFor(p => p.CurrentPlan)
    @Html.CheckBoxFor(p => p.ShouldCompare)
   <input type="submit" value="Compare"/>
</div>

Finally, your parent view is simplified to this:

@model IEnumerable<PlanCompareViewModel>
@using (Html.BeginForm("ComparePlans", "Plans", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "compareForm" }))
{
<div>
    @Html.EditorForModel()
</div>
}

DisplayTemplates and EditorTemplates are smart enough to know when they are handling collections. That means they will automatically generate the correct names, including indices, for your form elements so that you can correctly model bind to a collection.

How to add a char/int to an char array in C?

In C/C++ a string is an array of char terminated with a NULL byte ('\0');

Your string str has not been initialized.
You must concatenate strings and you are trying to concatenate a single char (without the null byte so it's not a string) to a string.

The code should look like this:

char str[1024] = "Hello World"; //this will add all characters and a NULL byte to the array
char tmp[2] = "."; //this is a string with the dot 
strcat(str, tmp);  //here you concatenate the two strings

Note that you can assign a string literal to an array only during its declaration.
For example the following code is not permitted:

char str[1024];
str = "Hello World"; //FORBIDDEN

and should be replaced with

char str[1024];
strcpy(str, "Hello World"); //here you copy "Hello World" inside the src array

how to change class name of an element by jquery

$('.IsBestAnswer').addClass('bestanswer').removeClass('IsBestAnswer');

Case in method names is important, so no addclass.

jQuery addClass()

Make page to tell browser not to cache/preserve input values

Another approach would be to reset the form using JavaScript right after the form in the HTML:

<form id="myForm">
  <input type="text" value="" name="myTextInput" />
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
</script>

How to force a hover state with jQuery?

I think the best solution I have come across is on this stackoverflow. This short jQuery code allows all your hover effects to show on click or touch..
No need to add anything within the function.

$('body').on('touchstart', function() {});

Hope this helps.

Escape invalid XML characters in C#

As the way to remove invalid XML characters I suggest you to use XmlConvert.IsXmlChar method. It was added since .NET Framework 4 and is presented in Silverlight too. Here is the small sample:

void Main() {
    string content = "\v\f\0";
    Console.WriteLine(IsValidXmlString(content)); // False

    content = RemoveInvalidXmlChars(content);
    Console.WriteLine(IsValidXmlString(content)); // True
}

static string RemoveInvalidXmlChars(string text) {
    var validXmlChars = text.Where(ch => XmlConvert.IsXmlChar(ch)).ToArray();
    return new string(validXmlChars);
}

static bool IsValidXmlString(string text) {
    try {
        XmlConvert.VerifyXmlChars(text);
        return true;
    } catch {
        return false;
    }
}

And as the way to escape invalid XML characters I suggest you to use XmlConvert.EncodeName method. Here is the small sample:

void Main() {
    const string content = "\v\f\0";
    Console.WriteLine(IsValidXmlString(content)); // False

    string encoded = XmlConvert.EncodeName(content);
    Console.WriteLine(IsValidXmlString(encoded)); // True

    string decoded = XmlConvert.DecodeName(encoded);
    Console.WriteLine(content == decoded); // True
}

static bool IsValidXmlString(string text) {
    try {
        XmlConvert.VerifyXmlChars(text);
        return true;
    } catch {
        return false;
    }
}

Update: It should be mentioned that the encoding operation produces a string with a length which is greater or equal than a length of a source string. It might be important when you store a encoded string in a database in a string column with length limitation and validate source string length in your app to fit data column limitation.

PHP-FPM doesn't write to error log

In your fpm.conf file you haven't set 2 variable which are only for error logging.

The variables are error_log (file path of your error log file) and log_level (error logging level).

; Error log file
; Note: the default prefix is /usr/local/php/var
; Default Value: log/php-fpm.log

error_log = log/php-fpm.log

; Log level
; Possible Values: alert, error, warning, notice, debug
; Default Value: notice

log_level = notice

Comparing results with today's date?

You can try this sql code;

   SELECT [column_1], [column_1], ...

     where date_format(record_date, '%e%c%Y') = date_format(now(), '%e%c%Y')

How do you install GLUT and OpenGL in Visual Studio 2012?

Download the GLUT library. At first step Copy the glut32.dll and paste it in C:\Windows\System32 folder.Second step copy glut.h file and paste it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC\include folder and third step copy glut32.lib and paste it in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC\lib folder. Now you can create visual c++ console application project and include glut.h header file then you can write code for GLUT project. If you are using 64 bit windows machine then path and glut library may be different but process is similar.

"Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP." error when loading a local file

cordova achieve this. I still can not figure out how cordova did. It does not even go through shouldInterceptRequest.

Later I found out that the key to load any file from local is: myWebView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);

And when you want to access any http resource, the webview will do checking with OPTIONS method, which you can grant the access through WebViewClient.shouldInterceptRequest by return a response, and for the following GET/POST method, you can just return null.

Calling a php function by onclick event

The onClick attribute of html tags only takes Javascript but not PHP code. However, you can easily call a PHP function from within the Javascript code by using the JS document.write() function - effectively calling the PHP function by "writing" its call to the browser window: Eg.

onclick="document.write('<?php //call a PHP function here ?>');"

Your example:

    <?php
          function hello(){
              echo "Hello";
          }
    ?>

<input type="button" name="Release" onclick="document.write('<?php hello() ?>');" value="Click to Release">

Call static method with reflection

Class that will call the methods:

namespace myNamespace
{
    public class myClass
    {
        public static void voidMethodWithoutParameters()
        {
            // code here
        }
        public static string stringReturnMethodWithParameters(string param1, string param2)
        {
            // code here
            return "output";
        }
    }
}

Calling myClass static methods using Reflection:

var myClassType = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType(GetType().Namespace + ".myClass");
                    
// calling my void Method that has no parameters.
myClassType.GetMethod("voidMethodWithoutParameters", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static).Invoke(null, null);

// calling my string returning Method & passing to it two string parameters.
Object methodOutput = myClassType.GetMethod("stringReturnMethodWithParameters", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static).Invoke(null, new object[] { "value1", "value1" });
Console.WriteLine(methodOutput.ToString());

Note: I don't need to instantiate an object of myClass to use it's methods, as the methods I'm using are static.

assignment operator overloading in c++

Under the circumstances, you're almost certainly better off skipping the check for self-assignment -- when you're only assigning one member that seems to be a simple type (probably a double), it's generally faster to do that assignment than avoid it, so you'd end up with:

SimpleCircle & SimpleCircle::operator=(const SimpleCircle & rhs)
{
    itsRadius = rhs.getRadius(); // or just `itsRadius = rhs.itsRadius;`
    return *this;
}

I realize that many older and/or lower quality books advise checking for self assignment. At least in my experience, however, it's sufficiently rare that you're better off without it (and if the operator depends on it for correctness, it's almost certainly not exception safe).

As an aside, I'd note that to define a circle, you generally need a center and a radius, and when you copy or assign, you want to copy/assign both.

How to check if string contains Latin characters only?

You can use regex:

Service vs IntentService in the Android platform

Don't reinvent the wheel

IntentService extends Service class which clearly means that IntentService is intentionally made for same purpose.

So what is the purpose ?

`IntentService's purpose is to make our job easier to run background tasks without even worrying about

Creation of worker thread
Queuing the processing multiple-request one by one (Threading)
Destroying the Service

So NO, Service can do any task which an IntentService would do. If your requirements fall under the above-mentioned criteria, then you don't have to write those logics in the Service class. So don't reinvent the wheel because IntentService is the invented wheel.

The "Main" difference

The Service runs on the UI thread while an IntentService runs on a separate thread

When do you use IntentService?

When you want to perform multiple background tasks one by one which exists beyond the scope of an Activity then the IntentService is perfect.

How `IntentService` is made from `Service`

A normal service runs on the UI Thread(Any Android Component type runs on UI thread by default eg Activity, BroadcastReceiver, ContentProvider and Service). If you have to do some work that may take a while to complete then you have to create a thread. In the case of multiple requests, you will have to deal with synchronization. IntentService is given some default implementation which does those tasks for you.
According to developer page

IntentService creates a Worker Thread
IntentService creates a Work Queue which sends request to onHandleIntent() method one by one
When there is no work then IntentService calls stopSelf() method
Provides default implementation for onBind() method which is null
Default implementation for onStartCommand() which sends Intent request to WorkQueue and eventually to onHandleIntent()

Deserialize Java 8 LocalDateTime with JacksonMapper

There are two problems with your code:

1. Use of wrong type

LocalDateTime does not support timezone. Given below is an overview of java.time types and you can see that the type which matches with your date-time string, 2016-12-01T23:00:00+00:00 is OffsetDateTime because it has a zone offset of +00:00.

Change your declaration as follows:

private OffsetDateTime startDate;

2. Use of wrong format

There are two problems with the format:

You need to use y (year-of-era ) instead of Y (week-based-year). Check this discussion to learn more about it. In fact, I recommend you use u (year) instead of y (year-of-era ). Check this answer for more details on it.
You need to use XXX or ZZZZZ for the offset part i.e. your format should be uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:m:ssXXX.

Check the documentation page of DateTimeFormatter for more details about these symbols/formats.

Demo:

import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String strDateTime = "2019-10-21T13:00:00+02:00";
        DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:m:ssXXX");
        OffsetDateTime odt = OffsetDateTime.parse(strDateTime, dtf);
        System.out.println(odt);
    }
}

Output:

2019-10-21T13:00+02:00

Export and Import all MySQL databases at one time

I wrote this comment already more than 4 years ago and decided now to make it to an answer.

The script from jruzafa can be a bit simplified:

#!/bin/bash

USER="zend"
PASSWORD=""
ExcludeDatabases="Database|information_schema|performance_schema|mysql"
databases=`mysql -u $USER -p$PASSWORD -e "SHOW DATABASES;" | tr -d "| " | egrep -v $ExcludeDatabases`

for db in $databases; do
    echo "Dumping database: $db"
    mysqldump -u $USER -p$PASSWORD --databases $db > `date +%Y%m%d`.$db.sql
    # gzip $OUTPUT`date +%Y%m%d`.$db.sql
done

Note:

The excluded databases - prevalently the system tables - are provided in the variable ExcludeDatabases
Please be aware that the password is provided in the command line. This is considered as insecure. Study this question.

What is the best IDE for PHP?

Are you sure you're looking for an IDE? The features you're describing, along with the impression of being too complicated that you got from e.g. Aptana, suggest that perhaps all you really want is a good editor with syntax highlighting and integration with some common workflow tools. For this, there are tons of options.

I've used jEdit on several platforms successfully, and that alone puts it above most of the rest (many of the IDEs are cross-platform too, but Aptana and anything Eclipse-based is going to be pretty heavy-weight, if full-featured). jEdit has ready-made plugins for everything on your list, and syntax highlighting for a wide range of languages. You can also bring up a shell in the bottom of your window, invoke scripts from within the editor, and so forth. It's not perfect (the UI is better than most Java UIs, but not perfect yet I don't think), but I've had good luck with it, and it'll be a hell of a lot simpler than Aptana/Eclipse.

That said, I do like Aptana quite a bit for web development, it does a lot of the grunt work for you once you're over the learning curve.

How do I execute cmd commands through a batch file?

Is it possible to make input fields read-only through CSS?

With CSS only? This is sort of possible on text inputs by using user-select:none:

.print {
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  -moz-user-select: none;
  -ms-user-select: none;
  user-select: none;          
}

JSFiddle example.

It's well worth noting that this will not work in browsers which do not support CSS3 or support the user-select property. The readonly property should be ideally given to the input markup you wish to be made readonly, but this does work as a hacky CSS alternative.

With JavaScript:

document.getElementById("myReadonlyInput").setAttribute("readonly", "true");

Edit: The CSS method no longer works in Chrome (29). The -webkit-user-select property now appears to be ignored on input elements.

Check table exist or not before create it in Oracle

My solution is just compilation of best ideas in thread, with a little improvement. I use both dedicated procedure (@Tomasz Borowiec) to facilitate reuse, and exception handling (@Tobias Twardon) to reduce code and to get rid of redundant table name in procedure.

cin and getline skipping input

Here, the '\n' left by cin, is creating issues.

do {
    system("cls");
    manageCustomerMenu();
    cin >> choice;               #This cin is leaving a trailing \n
    system("cls");

    switch (choice) {
        case '1':
            createNewCustomer();
            break;

This \n is being consumed by next getline in createNewCustomer(). You should use getline instead -

do {
    system("cls");
    manageCustomerMenu();
    getline(cin, choice)               
    system("cls");

    switch (choice) {
        case '1':
            createNewCustomer();
            break;

I think this would resolve the issue.

Passing string parameter in JavaScript function

The question has been answered, but for your future coding reference you might like to consider this.

In your HTML, add the name as an attribute to the button and remove the onclick reference.

<button id="button" data-name="Mathew" type="button">click</button>

In your JavaScript, grab the button using its ID, assign the function to the button's click event, and use the function to display the button's data-name attribute.

var button = document.getElementById('button');

button.onclick = myfunction;

function myfunction() {
  var name = this.getAttribute('data-name');
  alert(name);
}

Split value from one field to two

This takes smhg from here and curt's from Last index of a given substring in MySQL and combines them. This is for mysql, all I needed was to get a decent split of name to first_name last_name with the last name a single word, the first name everything before that single word, where the name could be null, 1 word, 2 words, or more than 2 words. Ie: Null; Mary; Mary Smith; Mary A. Smith; Mary Sue Ellen Smith;

So if name is one word or null, last_name is null. If name is > 1 word, last_name is last word, and first_name all words before last word.

Note that I've already trimmed off stuff like Joe Smith Jr. ; Joe Smith Esq. and so on, manually, which was painful, of course, but it was small enough to do that, so you want to make sure to really look at the data in the name field before deciding which method to use.

Note that this also trims the outcome, so you don't end up with spaces in front of or after the names.

I'm just posting this for others who might google their way here looking for what I needed. This works, of course, test it with the select first.

It's a one time thing, so I don't care about efficiency.

SELECT TRIM( 
    IF(
        LOCATE(' ', `name`) > 0,
        LEFT(`name`, LENGTH(`name`) - LOCATE(' ', REVERSE(`name`))),
        `name`
    ) 
) AS first_name,
TRIM( 
    IF(
        LOCATE(' ', `name`) > 0,
        SUBSTRING_INDEX(`name`, ' ', -1) ,
        NULL
    ) 
) AS last_name
FROM `users`;


UPDATE `users` SET
`first_name` = TRIM( 
    IF(

How can I get Android Wifi Scan Results into a list?

Wrap an ArrayAdapter around your List<ScanResult>. Override getView() to populate your rows with the ScanResult data. Here is a free excerpt from one of my books that covers how to create custom ArrayAdapters like this.

Explicitly select items from a list or tuple

It isn't built-in, but you can make a subclass of list that takes tuples as "indexes" if you'd like:

class MyList(list):

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        if isinstance(index, tuple):
            return [self[i] for i in index]
        return super(MyList, self).__getitem__(index)


seq = MyList("foo bar baaz quux mumble".split())
print seq[0]
print seq[2,4]
print seq[1::2]

printing

foo
['baaz', 'mumble']
['bar', 'quux']

Floating Point Exception C++ Why and what is it?

for (i>0; i--;)

is probably wrong and should be

for (; i>0; i--)

instead. Note where I put the semicolons. The condition goes in the middle, not at the start.

Capture iframe load complete event

`<iframe>` elements have a `load` event for that.

How you listen to that event is up to you, but generally the best way is to:

1) create your iframe programatically

It makes sure your load listener is always called by attaching it before the iframe starts loading.

<script>
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.onload = function() { alert('myframe is loaded'); }; // before setting 'src'
iframe.src = '...'; 
document.body.appendChild(iframe); // add it to wherever you need it in the document
</script>

2) inline javascript, is another way that you can use inside your HTML markup.

<script>
function onMyFrameLoad() {
  alert('myframe is loaded');
};
</script>

<iframe id="myframe" src="..." onload="onMyFrameLoad(this)"></iframe>

3) You may also attach the event listener after the element, inside a <script> tag, but keep in mind that in this case, there is a slight chance that the iframe is already loaded by the time you get to adding your listener. Therefore it's possible that it will not be called (e.g. if the iframe is very very fast, or coming from cache).

<iframe id="myframe" src="..."></iframe>

<script>
document.getElementById('myframe').onload = function() {
  alert('myframe is loaded');
};
</script>

Also see my other answer about which elements can also fire this type of load event

VS 2017 Git Local Commit DB.lock error on every commit

Step 1:
Add .vs/ to your .gitignore file (as said in other answers).

Step 2:
It is important to understand, that step 1 WILL NOT remove files within .vs/ from your current branch index, if they have already been added to it. So clear your active branch by issuing:

git rm --cached -r .vs/*

Step 3:
Best to immediately repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other active branches of your project as well.
Otherwise you will easily face the same problems again when switching to an uncleaned branch.

Pro tip:
Instead of step 1 you may want to to use this official .gitingore template for VisualStudio that covers much more than just the .vs path:
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore
(But still don't forget steps 2 and 3.)

Center Oversized Image in Div

based on @Guffa answer
because I lost more than 2 hours to center a very wide image,
for me with a image dimendion of 2500x100px and viewport 1600x1200 or Full HD 1900x1200 works centered like that:

 .imageContainer {
  height: 100px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
 }
 .imageCenter {
  width: auto;
  position: absolute;
  left: -10%;
  top: 0;
  margin-left: -500px;
 }
.imageCenter img {
 display: block;
 margin: 0 auto;
 }

I Hope this helps others to finish faster the task :)

Intellij Cannot resolve symbol on import

Simple Restart worked for me.

I would suggest first try with restart and then you may opt for invalidating the cache.

PS : Cleaning out the system caches will result in clearing the local history.

The AWS Access Key Id does not exist in our records

I tries below steps and it worked: 1. cd ~ 2. cd .aws 3. vi credentials 4. delete aws_access_key_id = aws_secret_access_key = by placing cursor on that line and pressing dd (vi command to delete line).

Delete both the line and check gain.

Using HTTPS with REST in Java

The answer of delfuego is the simplest way to solve the certificate problem. But, in my case, one of our third party url (using https), updated their certificate every 2 months automatically. It means that I have to import the cert to our Java trust store manually every 2 months as well. Sometimes it caused production problems.

So, I made a method to solve it with SecureRestClientTrustManager to be able to consume https url without importing the cert file. Here is the method:

     public static String doPostSecureWithHeader(String url, String body, Map headers)
            throws Exception {
        log.info("start doPostSecureWithHeader " + url + " with param " + body);
        long startTime;
        long endTime;
        startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Client client;
        client = Client.create();
        WebResource webResource;
        webResource = null;
        String output = null;
        try{
            SSLContext sslContext = null;
            SecureRestClientTrustManager secureRestClientTrustManager = new SecureRestClientTrustManager();
            sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
            sslContext
            .init(null,
                    new javax.net.ssl.TrustManager[] { secureRestClientTrustManager },
                    null);
            DefaultClientConfig defaultClientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig();
            defaultClientConfig
            .getProperties()
            .put(com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HTTPSProperties.PROPERTY_HTTPS_PROPERTIES,
                    new com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HTTPSProperties(
                            getHostnameVerifier(), sslContext));

            client = Client.create(defaultClientConfig);
            webResource = client.resource(url);

            if(headers!=null && headers.size()>0){
                for (Map.Entry entry : headers.entrySet()){
                    webResource.setProperty(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
                }
            }
            WebResource.Builder builder =

                    builder.header(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
                }
            }

            ClientResponse response = builder
                    .post(ClientResponse.class, body);
            output = response.getEntity(String.class);
        }
        catch(Exception e){

Jersey Exception : SEVERE: A message body reader for Java class

Mine was similar situation. I get this error in crucial times and I did not remember how I had solved it before, which I did many number of times. After strenuous hours of inspection, I have solved and reproduced the error and made sure how simple is the solution for this situation.

Okay - solution : remove (or correct) any newly made changes to your main project's properties files.

Yes, this is it. In fact, my project is a multi-moduled huge one, and you know going without correct dependencies is a rare case scenario as is fetched often from git (RAC too). My project was getting almost all configurable things from a properties file that is common to about 15 or so modules (sub projects) with good amount of intra-dependencies among them. jersey-json's dependency is always there in my merged parent pom. XML Annotations aren't a problem as the project is being run for around 100 times after modifying them. some solutions here point to web.xml and things like POJOMappingFeature. In my case, I haven't even touched the webapp module in this build. so anyhow, this solution worked for me and I am spending time to record this in SO in case if I ever happen to fall into this error, I would not have to waste my sleepy nights. (of course, for you too)

How to create temp table using Create statement in SQL Server?

A temporary table can have 3 kinds, the # is the most used. This is a temp table that only exists in the current session. An equivalent of this is @, a declared table variable. This has a little less "functions" (like indexes etc) and is also only used for the current session. The ## is one that is the same as the #, however, the scope is wider, so you can use it within the same session, within other stored procedures.

You can create a temp table in various ways:

declare @table table (id int)
create table #table (id int)
create table ##table (id int)
select * into #table from xyz

What is a "web service" in plain English?

Web Service is like a medium of commuication between two unrelated programs. The programs use a specified protocol(Usually Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)) as medium to understand what REQUEST/RESPONCE they are to process/execute on there respective end.

What’s the best way to load a JSONObject from a json text file?

Another way of doing the same could be using the Gson Class

String filename = "path/to/file/abc.json";
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonReader reader = new JsonReader(new FileReader(filename));
SampleClass data = gson.fromJson(reader, SampleClass.class);

This will give an object obtained after parsing the json string to work with.

How to pass variable number of arguments to a PHP function

Since PHP 5.6, a variable argument list can be specified with the ... operator.

function do_something($first, ...$all_the_others)
{
    var_dump($first);
    var_dump($all_the_others);
}

do_something('this goes in first', 2, 3, 4, 5);

#> string(18) "this goes in first"
#>
#> array(4) {
#>   [0]=>
#>   int(2)
#>   [1]=>
#>   int(3)
#>   [2]=>
#>   int(4)
#>   [3]=>
#>   int(5)
#> }

As you can see, the ... operator collects the variable list of arguments in an array.

If you need to pass the variable arguments to another function, the ... can still help you.

function do_something($first, ...$all_the_others)
{
    do_something_else($first, ...$all_the_others);
    // Which is translated to:
    // do_something_else('this goes in first', 2, 3, 4, 5);
}

Since PHP 7, the variable list of arguments can be forced to be all of the same type too.

function do_something($first, int ...$all_the_others) { /**/ }

Python list rotation

Remove last item from array

It's worth noting that slice will both return a new array, whereas .pop() and .splice() will mutate the existing array.

If you like handling collections of data with a chained command style, you will really want to stick with slice for something like this.

For example:

_x000D_

myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];_x000D_
_x000D_
var newArrayOfThings = myArray_x000D_
  .filter(x => x > 5)              // only bigly things_x000D_
  .slice(-1)                       // get rid of the last item_x000D_
  .map(x => `The number is: ${x}`);// map to a set of strings

_x000D_

It can require a lot more messing about, and variable management, to do the same kind of thing with "pop", since unlike map, filter, etc, you don't get a new array back.

It's the same kind of thing with push, which adds an item to the end of an array. You might be better off with concat since that lets you keep the flow going.

_x000D_

myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];_x000D_
_x000D_
var newArrayOfThings = myArray_x000D_
  .filter(x => x > 5)              // only bigly things_x000D_
  .slice(-1)                       // get rid of the "10"_x000D_
  .concat([100])                   // note with concat, you must pass an array_x000D_
  .map(x => `The number is: ${x}`) // map to a set of strings_x000D_

_x000D_

String Padding in C

#include <stdio.h>

    int width = 20; /* or whatever you need but less than BUFSIZ ;) */

    printf("%s%s\n", (char*)memset(buf, fill, width - strlen(str)), str);

    return 0;
}

Output:

$ gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic padding.c

Maintaining Session through Angular.js

Because the answer is no longer valid with a more stable version of angular, I am posting a newer solution.

PHP Page: session.php

if (!isset($_SESSION))
{    
    session_start();
}    

$_SESSION['variable'] = "hello world";

$sessions = array();

$sessions['variable'] = $_SESSION['variable'];

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($sessions);

Send back only the session variables you want in Angular not all of them don't want to expose more than what is needed.

JS All Together

var app = angular.module('StarterApp', []);
app.controller("AppCtrl", ['$rootScope', 'Session', function($rootScope, Session) {      
    Session.then(function(response){
        $rootScope.session = response;
    });
}]);

 app.factory('Session', function($http) {    
    return $http.get('/session.php').then(function(result) {       
        return result.data; 
    });
});

Do a simple get to get sessions using a factory.
If you want to make it post to make the page not visible when you just go to it in the browser you can, I'm just simplifying it
Add the factory to the controller
I use rootScope because it is a session variable that I use throughout all my code.

HTML

Inside your html you can reference your session

<html ng-app="StarterApp">

<body ng-controller="AppCtrl">
{{ session.variable }}
</body>

Document Root PHP

Just / refers to the root of your website from the public html folder. DOCUMENT_ROOT refers to the local path to the folder on the server that contains your website.

For example, I have EasyPHP setup on a machine...

$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] gives me file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.9/www but any file I link to with just / will be relative to my www folder.

If you want to give the absolute path to a file on your server (from the server's root) you can use DOCUMENT_ROOT. if you want to give the absolute path to a file from your website's root, use just /.

How can I truncate a string to the first 20 words in PHP?

I made my function:

function summery($text, $limit) {
    $words=preg_split('/\s+/', $text);
     $count=count(preg_split('/\s+/', $text));
      if ($count > $limit) {
          $text=NULL;
          for($i=0;$i<$limit;$i++)
              $text.=$words[$i].' ';
          $text.='...';
      }
      return $text;
    }

Are multiple `.gitignore`s frowned on?

As a tangential note, one case where the ability to have multiple .gitignore files is very useful is if you want an extra directory in your working copy that you never intend to commit. Just put a 1-byte .gitignore (containing just a single asterisk) in that directory and it will never show up in git status etc.

How do you create a UIImage View Programmatically - Swift

Thanks, MEnnabah, just to add to your code where you are missing the = sign in the declaration statement:

let someImageView: UIImageView = {
   let theImageView = UIImageView()
   theImageView.image = UIImage(named: "yourImage.png")
   theImageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false //You need to call this property so the image is added to your view
   return theImageView
}()

Everything else is, all perfect for Swift 3.

How to change maven logging level to display only warning and errors?

Answering your question

I made a small investigation because I am also interested in the solution.

Maven command line verbosity options

According to http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/running-sect-options.html#running-sect-verbose-option

-e for error
-X for debug
-q for only error

Maven logging config file

Currently maven 3.1.x uses SLF4J to log to the System.out . You can modify the logging settings at the file:

${MAVEN_HOME}/conf/logging/simplelogger.properties

According to the page : http://maven.apache.org/maven-logging.html

Command line setup

I think you should be able to setup the default Log level of the simple logger via a command line parameter, like this:

$ mvn clean package -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=debug

But I could not get it to work. I guess the only problem with this is, maven picks up the default level from the config file on the classpath. I also tried a couple of other settings via System.properties, but all of them were unsuccessful.

Appendix

You can find the source of slf4j on github here : slf4j github

The source of the simplelogger here : slf4j/jcl-over-slf4j/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/logging/impl/SimpleLog.java

The plexus loader loads the simplelogger.properties.

How do I install Keras and Theano in Anaconda Python on Windows?

In windows environment with Anconda. Go to anconda prompt from start. Then if you are behind proxy then .copndarc file needs to eb updated with the proxy details.

ssl_verify: false channels: - defaults proxy_servers: http: http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx https: https://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx

I had ssl_verify initially marked as 'True' then I was getting ssl error. So i turned it to false as above and then ran the below commands

What is a clean, Pythonic way to have multiple constructors in Python?

All of these answers are excellent if you want to use optional parameters, but another Pythonic possibility is to use a classmethod to generate a factory-style pseudo-constructor:

  # do stuff with the number

@classmethod
def fromRandom(cls):

  return cls( # some-random-number )

(SELECT COUNT(Id) FROM   tblProductSales) AS SalesCount

MVC If statement in View

You only need to prefix an if statement with @ if you're not already inside a razor code block.

Edit: You have a couple of things wrong with your code right now.

You're declaring nmb, but never actually doing anything with the value. So you need figure out what that's supposed to actually be doing. In order to fix your code, you need to make a couple of tiny changes:

swift How to remove optional String Character

Actually when you define any variable as a optional then you need to unwrap that optional value. To fix this problem either you have to declare variable as non option or put !(exclamation) mark behind the variable to unwrap the option value.

var temp : String? // This is an optional.
temp = "I am a programer"                
print(temp) // Optional("I am a programer")

var temp1 : String! // This is not optional.
temp1 = "I am a programer"
print(temp1) // "I am a programer"
