How do I set up access control in SVN?

Apache Subversion supports path-based authorization that helps you configure granular permissions for user and group accounts on paths in your repositories (files or directories). Path-based authorization supports three access levels - No Access, Read Only and Read / Write.

Path-based authorization permissions are stored in per-repository or per-server authorization files with a special syntax. Here is an example from SVNBook:

[calc:/branches/calc/bug-142]
harry = rw
sally = r

When you require a complex permission structure with many paths and accounts you can benefit from a GUI-based permission management tools provided by VisualSVN Server:

  • Server administrators can manage user and group permissions via the VisualSVN Server Manager console or PowerShell,
  • Non-admin users can manage permissions via RepoCfg.

What is the most elegant way to check if all values in a boolean array are true?

That line should be sufficient:

BooleanUtils.and(boolean... array)

but to calm the link-only purists:

Performs an and on a set of booleans.

How do you convert a time.struct_time object into a datetime object?

Use time.mktime() to convert the time tuple (in localtime) into seconds since the Epoch, then use datetime.fromtimestamp() to get the datetime object.

from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime

dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(mktime(struct))

What are the lengths of Location Coordinates, latitude and longitude?

Valid longitudes are from -180 to 180 degrees.

Latitudes are supposed to be from -90 degrees to 90 degrees, but areas very near to the poles are not indexable.

So exact limits, as specified by EPSG:900913 / EPSG:3785 / OSGEO:41001 are the following:

  • Valid longitudes are from -180 to 180 degrees.
  • Valid latitudes are from -85.05112878 to 85.05112878 degrees.

Determining Referer in PHP

What I have found best is a CSRF token and save it in the session for links where you need to verify the referrer.

So if you are generating a FB callback then it would look something like this:

$token = uniqid(mt_rand(), TRUE);
$_SESSION['token'] = $token;
$url = "http://example.com/index.php?token={$token}";

Then the index.php will look like this:

if(empty($_GET['token']) || $_GET['token'] !== $_SESSION['token'])
{
    show_404();
} 

//Continue with the rest of code

I do know of secure sites that do the equivalent of this for all their secure pages.

What does the question mark in Java generics' type parameter mean?

A question mark is a signifier for 'any type'. ? alone means

Any type extending Object (including Object)

while your example above means

Any type extending or implementing HasWord (including HasWord if HasWord is a non-abstract class)

Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript

If you use REACT , There is something called radium. It is so useful here :

  • Add handlers to props if interactive styles are specified, e.g. onMouseEnter for :hover, wrapping existing handlers if necessary

  • If any of the handlers are triggered, e.g. by hovering, Radium calls setState to update a Radium-specific field on the components state object

  • On re-render, resolve any interactive styles that apply, e.g. :hover, by looking up the element's key or ref in the Radium-specific state

IE8 support for CSS Media Query

IE8 (and lower versions) and Firefox prior to 3.5 do not support media query. Safari 3.2 partially supports it.

There are some workarounds that use JavaScript to add media query support to these browsers. Try these:

Media Queries jQuery plugin (only deals with max/min width)

css3-mediaqueries-js – a library that aims to add media query support to non-supporting browsers

Using number_format method in Laravel

Here's another way of doing it, add in app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

...

public function boot()
{
    // add Str::currency macro
    Str::macro('currency', function ($price)
    {
        return number_format($price, 2, '.', '\'');
    });
}

Then use Str::currency() in the blade templates or directly in the Expense model.

@foreach ($Expenses as $Expense)
    <tr>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->type }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->narration }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ Str::currency($Expense->price) }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ $Expense->quantity }}}</td>
        <td>{{{ Str::currency($Expense->amount) }}}</td>                                                            
    </tr>
@endforeach

How do I ignore files in a directory in Git?

PATTERN FORMAT

  • A blank line matches no files, so it can serve as a separator for readability.

  • A line starting with # serves as a comment.

  • An optional prefix ! which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. If a negated pattern matches, this will override lower precedence patterns sources.

  • If the pattern ends with a slash, it is removed for the purpose of the following description, but it would only find a match with a directory. In other words, foo/ will match a directory foo and paths underneath it, but will not match a regular file or a symbolic link foo (this is consistent with the way how pathspec works in general in git).

  • If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not from a .gitignore file).

  • Otherwise, git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. For example, Documentation/*.html matches Documentation/git.html but not Documentation/ppc/ppc.html or tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html.

  • A leading slash matches the beginning of the pathname. For example, /*.c matches cat-file.c but not mozilla-sha1/sha1.c.

Page redirect after certain time PHP

You can use this javascript code to redirect after a specific time. Hope it will work.

setRedirectTime(function () 
{
   window.location.href= 'https://www.google.com'; // the redirect URL will be here

},10000); // 10 seconds

HTML embedded PDF iframe

It's downloaded probably because there is not Adobe Reader plug-in installed. In this case, IE (it doesn't matter which version) doesn't know how to render it, and it'll simply download the file (Chrome, for example, has its own embedded PDF renderer).

That said. <iframe> is not best way to display a PDF (do not forget compatibility with mobile browsers, for example Safari). Some browsers will always open that file inside an external application (or in another browser window). Best and most compatible way I found is a little bit tricky but works on all browsers I tried (even pretty outdated):

Keep your <iframe> but do not display a PDF inside it, it'll be filled with an HTML page that consists of an <object> tag. Create an HTML wrapping page for your PDF, it should look like this:

<html>
<body>
    <object data="your_url_to_pdf" type="application/pdf">
        <embed src="your_url_to_pdf" type="application/pdf" />
    </object>
</body>
</html>

Of course, you still need the appropriate plug-in installed in the browser. Also, look at this post if you need to support Safari on mobile devices.

1st. Why nesting <embed> inside <object>? You'll find the answer here on SO. Instead of a nested <embed> tag, you may (should!) provide a custom message for your users (or a built-in viewer, see next paragraph). Nowadays, <object> can be used without worries, and <embed> is useless.

2nd. Why an HTML page? So you can provide a fallback if PDF viewer isn't supported. Internal viewer, plain HTML error messages/options, and so on...

It's tricky to check PDF support so that you may provide an alternate viewer for your customers, take a look at PDF.JS project; it's pretty good but rendering quality - for desktop browsers - isn't as good as a native PDF renderer (I didn't see any difference in mobile browsers because of screen size, I suppose).

Cannot create Maven Project in eclipse

In my case following solution worked.

  1. Delete RELEASE directory & resolver-status.properties file in your local Maven repository under directory .m2/../maven-archetype-quickstart.
  2. Create Maven project in Eclipse or STS (Spring Tool Suite). It will automatically download quickstart archetype & work as expected.

I hope this may help someone.

Apply function to each element of a list

I think you mean to use map instead of filter:

>>> from string import upper
>>> mylis=['this is test', 'another test']
>>> map(upper, mylis)
['THIS IS TEST', 'ANOTHER TEST']

Even simpler, you could use str.upper instead of importing from string (thanks to @alecxe):

>>> map(str.upper, mylis)
['THIS IS TEST', 'ANOTHER TEST']

In Python 2.x, map constructs a new list by applying a given function to every element in a list. filter constructs a new list by restricting to elements that evaluate to True with a given function.

In Python 3.x, map and filter construct iterators instead of lists, so if you are using Python 3.x and require a list the list comprehension approach would be better suited.

Java - How to convert type collection into ArrayList?

The following code will fail:

List<String> will_fail =  (List<String>)Collections.unmodifiableCollection(new ArrayList<String>());

This instead will work:

List<String> will_work = new ArrayList<String>(Collections.unmodifiableCollection(new ArrayList<String>()));

Best practice for REST token-based authentication with JAX-RS and Jersey

How token-based authentication works

In token-based authentication, the client exchanges hard credentials (such as username and password) for a piece of data called token. For each request, instead of sending the hard credentials, the client will send the token to the server to perform authentication and then authorization.

In a few words, an authentication scheme based on tokens follow these steps:

  1. The client sends their credentials (username and password) to the server.
  2. The server authenticates the credentials and, if they are valid, generate a token for the user.
  3. The server stores the previously generated token in some storage along with the user identifier and an expiration date.
  4. The server sends the generated token to the client.
  5. The client sends the token to the server in each request.
  6. The server, in each request, extracts the token from the incoming request. With the token, the server looks up the user details to perform authentication.
    • If the token is valid, the server accepts the request.
    • If the token is invalid, the server refuses the request.
  7. Once the authentication has been performed, the server performs authorization.
  8. The server can provide an endpoint to refresh tokens.

Note: The step 3 is not required if the server has issued a signed token (such as JWT, which allows you to perform stateless authentication).

What you can do with JAX-RS 2.0 (Jersey, RESTEasy and Apache CXF)

This solution uses only the JAX-RS 2.0 API, avoiding any vendor specific solution. So, it should work with JAX-RS 2.0 implementations, such as Jersey, RESTEasy and Apache CXF.

It is worthwhile to mention that if you are using token-based authentication, you are not relying on the standard Java EE web application security mechanisms offered by the servlet container and configurable via application's web.xml descriptor. It's a custom authentication.

Authenticating a user with their username and password and issuing a token

Create a JAX-RS resource method which receives and validates the credentials (username and password) and issue a token for the user:

@Path("/authentication")
public class AuthenticationEndpoint {

    @POST
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
    public Response authenticateUser(@FormParam("username") String username, 
                                     @FormParam("password") String password) {

        try {

            // Authenticate the user using the credentials provided
            authenticate(username, password);

            // Issue a token for the user
            String token = issueToken(username);

            // Return the token on the response
            return Response.ok(token).build();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            return Response.status(Response.Status.FORBIDDEN).build();
        }      
    }

    private void authenticate(String username, String password) throws Exception {
        // Authenticate against a database, LDAP, file or whatever
        // Throw an Exception if the credentials are invalid
    }

    private String issueToken(String username) {
        // Issue a token (can be a random String persisted to a database or a JWT token)
        // The issued token must be associated to a user
        // Return the issued token
    }
}

If any exceptions are thrown when validating the credentials, a response with the status 403 (Forbidden) will be returned.

If the credentials are successfully validated, a response with the status 200 (OK) will be returned and the issued token will be sent to the client in the response payload. The client must send the token to the server in every request.

When consuming application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the client must to send the credentials in the following format in the request payload:

username=admin&password=123456

Instead of form params, it's possible to wrap the username and the password into a class:

public class Credentials implements Serializable {

    private String username;
    private String password;

    // Getters and setters omitted
}

And then consume it as JSON:

@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response authenticateUser(Credentials credentials) {

    String username = credentials.getUsername();
    String password = credentials.getPassword();

    // Authenticate the user, issue a token and return a response
}

Using this approach, the client must to send the credentials in the following format in the payload of the request:

{
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "123456"
}

Extracting the token from the request and validating it

The client should send the token in the standard HTTP Authorization header of the request. For example:

Authorization: Bearer <token-goes-here>

The name of the standard HTTP header is unfortunate because it carries authentication information, not authorization. However, it's the standard HTTP header for sending credentials to the server.

JAX-RS provides @NameBinding, a meta-annotation used to create other annotations to bind filters and interceptors to resource classes and methods. Define a @Secured annotation as following:

@NameBinding
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE, METHOD})
public @interface Secured { }

The above defined name-binding annotation will be used to decorate a filter class, which implements ContainerRequestFilter, allowing you to intercept the request before it be handled by a resource method. The ContainerRequestContext can be used to access the HTTP request headers and then extract the token:

@Secured
@Provider
@Priority(Priorities.AUTHENTICATION)
public class AuthenticationFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    private static final String REALM = "example";
    private static final String AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME = "Bearer";

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {

        // Get the Authorization header from the request
        String authorizationHeader =
                requestContext.getHeaderString(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION);

        // Validate the Authorization header
        if (!isTokenBasedAuthentication(authorizationHeader)) {
            abortWithUnauthorized(requestContext);
            return;
        }

        // Extract the token from the Authorization header
        String token = authorizationHeader
                            .substring(AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME.length()).trim();

        try {

            // Validate the token
            validateToken(token);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            abortWithUnauthorized(requestContext);
        }
    }

    private boolean isTokenBasedAuthentication(String authorizationHeader) {

        // Check if the Authorization header is valid
        // It must not be null and must be prefixed with "Bearer" plus a whitespace
        // The authentication scheme comparison must be case-insensitive
        return authorizationHeader != null && authorizationHeader.toLowerCase()
                    .startsWith(AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME.toLowerCase() + " ");
    }

    private void abortWithUnauthorized(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) {

        // Abort the filter chain with a 401 status code response
        // The WWW-Authenticate header is sent along with the response
        requestContext.abortWith(
                Response.status(Response.Status.UNAUTHORIZED)
                        .header(HttpHeaders.WWW_AUTHENTICATE, 
                                AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME + " realm=\"" + REALM + "\"")
                        .build());
    }

    private void validateToken(String token) throws Exception {
        // Check if the token was issued by the server and if it's not expired
        // Throw an Exception if the token is invalid
    }
}

If any problems happen during the token validation, a response with the status 401 (Unauthorized) will be returned. Otherwise the request will proceed to a resource method.

Securing your REST endpoints

To bind the authentication filter to resource methods or resource classes, annotate them with the @Secured annotation created above. For the methods and/or classes that are annotated, the filter will be executed. It means that such endpoints will only be reached if the request is performed with a valid token.

If some methods or classes do not need authentication, simply do not annotate them:

@Path("/example")
public class ExampleResource {

    @GET
    @Path("{id}")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response myUnsecuredMethod(@PathParam("id") Long id) {
        // This method is not annotated with @Secured
        // The authentication filter won't be executed before invoking this method
        ...
    }

    @DELETE
    @Secured
    @Path("{id}")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response mySecuredMethod(@PathParam("id") Long id) {
        // This method is annotated with @Secured
        // The authentication filter will be executed before invoking this method
        // The HTTP request must be performed with a valid token
        ...
    }
}

In the example shown above, the filter will be executed only for the mySecuredMethod(Long) method because it's annotated with @Secured.

Identifying the current user

It's very likely that you will need to know the user who is performing the request agains your REST API. The following approaches can be used to achieve it:

Overriding the security context of the current request

Within your ContainerRequestFilter.filter(ContainerRequestContext) method, a new SecurityContext instance can be set for the current request. Then override the SecurityContext.getUserPrincipal(), returning a Principal instance:

final SecurityContext currentSecurityContext = requestContext.getSecurityContext();
requestContext.setSecurityContext(new SecurityContext() {

        @Override
        public Principal getUserPrincipal() {
            return () -> username;
        }

    @Override
    public boolean isUserInRole(String role) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isSecure() {
        return currentSecurityContext.isSecure();
    }

    @Override
    public String getAuthenticationScheme() {
        return AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME;
    }
});

Use the token to look up the user identifier (username), which will be the Principal's name.

Inject the SecurityContext in any JAX-RS resource class:

@Context
SecurityContext securityContext;

The same can be done in a JAX-RS resource method:

@GET
@Secured
@Path("{id}")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response myMethod(@PathParam("id") Long id, 
                         @Context SecurityContext securityContext) {
    ...
}

And then get the Principal:

Principal principal = securityContext.getUserPrincipal();
String username = principal.getName();

Using CDI (Context and Dependency Injection)

If, for some reason, you don't want to override the SecurityContext, you can use CDI (Context and Dependency Injection), which provides useful features such as events and producers.

Create a CDI qualifier:

@Qualifier
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER })
public @interface AuthenticatedUser { }

In your AuthenticationFilter created above, inject an Event annotated with @AuthenticatedUser:

@Inject
@AuthenticatedUser
Event<String> userAuthenticatedEvent;

If the authentication succeeds, fire the event passing the username as parameter (remember, the token is issued for a user and the token will be used to look up the user identifier):

userAuthenticatedEvent.fire(username);

It's very likely that there's a class that represents a user in your application. Let's call this class User.

Create a CDI bean to handle the authentication event, find a User instance with the correspondent username and assign it to the authenticatedUser producer field:

@RequestScoped
public class AuthenticatedUserProducer {

    @Produces
    @RequestScoped
    @AuthenticatedUser
    private User authenticatedUser;

    public void handleAuthenticationEvent(@Observes @AuthenticatedUser String username) {
        this.authenticatedUser = findUser(username);
    }

    private User findUser(String username) {
        // Hit the the database or a service to find a user by its username and return it
        // Return the User instance
    }
}

The authenticatedUser field produces a User instance that can be injected into container managed beans, such as JAX-RS services, CDI beans, servlets and EJBs. Use the following piece of code to inject a User instance (in fact, it's a CDI proxy):

@Inject
@AuthenticatedUser
User authenticatedUser;

Note that the CDI @Produces annotation is different from the JAX-RS @Produces annotation:

Be sure you use the CDI @Produces annotation in your AuthenticatedUserProducer bean.

The key here is the bean annotated with @RequestScoped, allowing you to share data between filters and your beans. If you don't wan't to use events, you can modify the filter to store the authenticated user in a request scoped bean and then read it from your JAX-RS resource classes.

Compared to the approach that overrides the SecurityContext, the CDI approach allows you to get the authenticated user from beans other than JAX-RS resources and providers.

Supporting role-based authorization

Please refer to my other answer for details on how to support role-based authorization.

Issuing tokens

A token can be:

  • Opaque: Reveals no details other than the value itself (like a random string)
  • Self-contained: Contains details about the token itself (like JWT).

See details below:

Random string as token

A token can be issued by generating a random string and persisting it to a database along with the user identifier and an expiration date. A good example of how to generate a random string in Java can be seen here. You also could use:

Random random = new SecureRandom();
String token = new BigInteger(130, random).toString(32);

JWT (JSON Web Token)

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a standard method for representing claims securely between two parties and is defined by the RFC 7519.

It's a self-contained token and it enables you to store details in claims. These claims are stored in the token payload which is a JSON encoded as Base64. Here are some claims registered in the RFC 7519 and what they mean (read the full RFC for further details):

  • iss: Principal that issued the token.
  • sub: Principal that is the subject of the JWT.
  • exp: Expiration date for the token.
  • nbf: Time on which the token will start to be accepted for processing.
  • iat: Time on which the token was issued.
  • jti: Unique identifier for the token.

Be aware that you must not store sensitive data, such as passwords, in the token.

The payload can be read by the client and the integrity of the token can be easily checked by verifying its signature on the server. The signature is what prevents the token from being tampered with.

You won't need to persist JWT tokens if you don't need to track them. Althought, by persisting the tokens, you will have the possibility of invalidating and revoking the access of them. To keep the track of JWT tokens, instead of persisting the whole token on the server, you could persist the token identifier (jti claim) along with some other details such as the user you issued the token for, the expiration date, etc.

When persisting tokens, always consider removing the old ones in order to prevent your database from growing indefinitely.

Using JWT

There are a few Java libraries to issue and validate JWT tokens such as:

To find some other great resources to work with JWT, have a look at http://jwt.io.

Handling token revocation with JWT

If you want to revoke tokens, you must keep the track of them. You don't need to store the whole token on server side, store only the token identifier (that must be unique) and some metadata if you need. For the token identifier you could use UUID.

The jti claim should be used to store the token identifier on the token. When validating the token, ensure that it has not been revoked by checking the value of the jti claim against the token identifiers you have on server side.

For security purposes, revoke all the tokens for a user when they change their password.

Additional information

  • It doesn't matter which type of authentication you decide to use. Always do it on the top of a HTTPS connection to prevent the man-in-the-middle attack.
  • Take a look at this question from Information Security for more information about tokens.
  • In this article you will find some useful information about token-based authentication.

Spring Boot + JPA : Column name annotation ignored

teteArg, thank you so much. Just an added information so, everyone bumping into this question will be able to understand why.

What teteArg said is indicated on the Spring Boot Common Properties: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/common-application-properties.html

Apparently, spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.strategy is not a supported property for Spring JPA implementation using Hibernate 5.

How to undo a successful "git cherry-pick"?

If possible, avoid hard resets. Hard resets are one of the very few destructive operations in git. Luckily, you can undo a cherry-pick without resets and avoid anything destructive.

Note the hash of the cherry-pick you want to undo, say it is ${bad_cherrypick}. Do a git revert ${bad_cherrypick}. Now the contents of your working tree are as they were before your bad cherry-pick.

Repeat your git cherry-pick ${wanted_commit}, and when you're happy with the new cherry-pick, do a git rebase -i ${bad_cherrypick}~1. During the rebase, delete both ${bad_cherrypick} and its corresponding revert.

The branch you are working on will only have the good cherry-pick. No resets needed!

Can a Windows batch file determine its own file name?

You can get the file name, but you can also get the full path, depending what you place between the '%~' and the '0'. Take your pick from

d -- drive
p -- path
n -- file name
x -- extension
f -- full path

E.g., from inside c:\tmp\foo.bat, %~nx0 gives you "foo.bat", whilst %~dpnx0 gives "c:\tmp\foo.bat". Note the pieces are always assembled in canonical order, so if you get cute and try %~xnpd0, you still get "c:\tmp\foo.bat"

How to get Maven project version to the bash command line

The Maven Help Plugin is somehow already proposing something for this:

  • help:evaluate evaluates Maven expressions given by the user in an interactive mode.

Here is how you would invoke it on the command line to get the ${project.version}:

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:2.1.1:evaluate \
    -Dexpression=project.version

Change app language programmatically in Android

I encountered the same problem: I needed to set my language to a language chosen in my app.

My fix was this:

  1. Keep your strings in your XML file, don't extract it to resources
  2. Make an exact copy of your XML and rename it to _languagecode, like _fr (use lowercase!)
  3. Fix your translations in your XML copy
  4. In code you check your app-level language and inflate the relevant XML

Example:

 String languageInitials = MyAppconfig.currentLanguageInitials();
        if (languageInitials.equals("NL")) {
            view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout_nl, container, false);
        } else {
            view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mylayout_fr, container, false);
        }

From these XML's, you can still extract the needed strings to resources.

Load arrayList data into JTable

Basic method for beginners like me.

public void loadDataToJtable(ArrayList<String> liste){
        
    rows = table.getRowCount();

    cols = table.getColumnCount();

    for (int i = 0; i < rows ; i++) {

            for ( int k  = 0; k < cols ; k++) {
            
            for (int h = 0; h < list1.size(); h++) {
                
                String b =  list1.get(h);
                b = table.getValueAt(i, k).toString();
                
            }
        }
    }
}

if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

I think you are putting one too many curly brackets. Try this

 @if($user->status=='waiting')
            <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{!! $user->travel_id !!}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject</a> </td>
            @else
            <td>{!! $user->status !!}</td>
        @endif

React Native fixed footer

import {Dimensions} from 'react-native'

const WIDTH = Dimensions.get('window').width;
const HEIGHT = Dimensions.get('window').height;

then on the write this styles

 position: 'absolute',

 right: 0,

worked like a charm

How to get the current branch name in Git?

In case your CI server does not have environment variable with branch name and you have a dockerized build without git binary inside of container, you can just use:

cat .git/HEAD | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}'

Spring RestTemplate timeout

I finally got this working.

I think the fact that our project had two different versions of the commons-httpclient jar wasn't helping. Once I sorted that out I found you can do two things...

In code you can put the following:

HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory rf =
    (HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory) restTemplate.getRequestFactory();
rf.setReadTimeout(1 * 1000);
rf.setConnectTimeout(1 * 1000);

The first time this code is called it will set the timeout for the HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory class used by the RestTemplate. Therefore, all subsequent calls made by RestTemplate will use the timeout settings defined above.

Or the better option is to do this:

<bean id="RestOperations" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
    <constructor-arg>
        <bean class="org.springframework.http.client.HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory">
            <property name="readTimeout" value="${application.urlReadTimeout}" />
            <property name="connectTimeout" value="${application.urlConnectionTimeout}" />
        </bean>
    </constructor-arg>
</bean>

Where I use the RestOperations interface in my code and get the timeout values from a properties file.

How to run Pip commands from CMD

Little side note for anyone new to Python who didn't figure it out by theirself: this should be automatic when installing Python, but just in case, note that to run Python using the python command in Windows' CMD you must first add it to the PATH environment variable, as explained here.


To execute Pip, first of all make sure you have it installed, so type in your CMD:

> python
>>> import pip
>>>

And it should proceed with no error. Otherwise, if this fails, you can look here to see how to install it. Now that you are sure you've got Pip, you can run it from CMD with Python using the -m (module) parameter, like this:

> python -m pip <command> <args>

Where <command> is any Pip command you want to run, and <args> are its relative arguments, separated by spaces.

For example, to install a package:

> python -m pip install <package-name>

JQuery Event for user pressing enter in a textbox?

HTML Code:-

<input type="text" name="txt1" id="txt1" onkeypress="return AddKeyPress(event);" />      

<input type="button" id="btnclick">

Java Script Code

function AddKeyPress(e) { 
        // look for window.event in case event isn't passed in
        e = e || window.event;
        if (e.keyCode == 13) {
            document.getElementById('btnEmail').click();
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

printf, wprintf, %s, %S, %ls, char* and wchar*: Errors not announced by a compiler warning?

%S seems to conform to The Single Unix Specification v2 and is also part of the current (2008) POSIX specification.

Equivalent C99 conforming format specifiers would be %s and %ls.

A hex viewer / editor plugin for Notepad++?

According to some comments on Super User it still works :) It just should be copied back to the plugins folder (if it's in the disabled folder) or downloaded from Plugins Central. I have downloaded it a few minutes ago and succeeded in using it.

Of course, be warned: this plugin COULD be unstable in some situations - that's why it was disabled.

ImageView rounded corners

Try like this if you need to get rounded image ..

Your MainActivity.java class

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 1;
    private Bitmap bitmap;
    private ImageView imageView;
    Bitmap roundedBitmapImage;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.result);

    }

    public void pickImage(View View) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setType("image/*");
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)


            try {
                // We need to recycle unused bitmaps
                if (bitmap != null) {
                    bitmap.recycle();
                }
                InputStream stream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(
                        data.getData());
                bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream);
                stream.close();

               /* Bitmap bitmap1=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
                Bitmap bitmap2=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);

                Bitmap resultingImage=Bitmap.createBitmap(320, 480, bitmap1.getConfig());

                Canvas canvas = new Canvas(resultingImage);

                Paint paint = new Paint();
                paint.setAntiAlias(true);

                path.lineTo(70, 120);
                path.lineTo(150, 0);

                canvas.drawPath(path, paint);

                paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN));
                canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap2, 0, 0, paint);*/

               //-------> compositeImageView.setImageBitmap(resultingImage);

                // Use this when to provide any shape to image i.e Fit image to any shape.
                // under mentioned taking reference from Rounder class. Finally changing image in round shape.
                // Here we are passing reference  bitmap.
                roundedBitmapImage = new  Rounder().getRoundedShape(bitmap);

                imageView.setImageBitmap(roundedBitmapImage);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }
}

And your rounder class ..

/** This class crops image to round shape */

public class Rounder {
    public Bitmap getRoundedShape(Bitmap scaleBitmapImage) {
        int targetWidth = 125;
        int targetHeight = 125;
        Bitmap targetBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(targetWidth, targetHeight,
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(targetBitmap);

        Path path = new Path();

        path.addCircle(((float) targetWidth - 1) / 2,
                ((float) targetHeight - 1) / 2,
                (Math.min(((float) targetWidth), ((float) targetHeight)) / 2),
                Path.Direction.CCW);

        canvas.clipPath(path);

        Bitmap sourceBitmap = scaleBitmapImage;

        canvas.drawBitmap(sourceBitmap, new Rect(0, 0, sourceBitmap.getWidth(),
                sourceBitmap.getHeight()), new Rect(0, 0, targetWidth,
                targetHeight), null);

        return targetBitmap;
    }
}

Prevent cell numbers from incrementing in a formula in Excel

There is something called 'locked reference' in excel which you can use for this, and you use $ symbols to lock a range. For your example, you would use:

=IF(B4<>"",B4/B$1,"")

This locks the 1 in B1 so that when you copy it to rows below, 1 will remain the same.

If you use $B$1, the range will not change when you copy it down a row or across a column.

Android Studio Stuck at Gradle Download on create new project

I found the same issue happening on my laptop, despite waiting for quite a long time. This is what I did and it worked for me. Just force close the Android Studio and launch it again. This time, just open the existing project and let it take care of finishing up the process of building/downloading.

Another option that you could possibly try is that if you look into File --> Settings, there is an option for Gradle location. You could go to the Gradle download site, download a local distribution of Gradle and point the Gradle location to that local directory.

HTTP vs HTTPS performance

A more important performance difference is that an HTTPS session is ketp open while the user is connected. An HTTP 'session' lasts only for a single item request.

It you are running a site with a large number of concurrent users, expect to buy a lot of memory.

This was the culprit: <script src="app.js"/>

Fix: <script src="app.js"></script>

Make sure your script tag is ended properly!

System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out

I remember I had the same problem a while back using WCF due the quantity of the data I was passing. I remember I changed timeouts everywhere but the problem persisted. What I finally did was open the connection as stream request, I needed to change the client and the server side, but it work that way. Since it was a stream connection, the server kept reading until the stream ended.

Python check if list items are integers?

Try this:

mynewlist = [s for s in mylist if s.isdigit()]

From the docs:

str.isdigit()

Return true if all characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, false otherwise.

For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.


As noted in the comments, isdigit() returning True does not necessarily indicate that the string can be parsed as an int via the int() function, and it returning False does not necessarily indicate that it cannot be. Nevertheless, the approach above should work in your case.

Get name of current script in Python

You can use __file__ to get the name of the current file. When used in the main module, this is the name of the script that was originally invoked.

If you want to omit the directory part (which might be present), you can use os.path.basename(__file__).

How to install SimpleJson Package for Python

Download the source code, unzip it to and directory, and execute python setup.py install.

Installing Python packages from local file system folder to virtualenv with pip

What about::

pip install --help
...
  -e, --editable <path/url>   Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools
                              "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

eg, pip install -e /srv/pkg

where /srv/pkg is the top-level directory where 'setup.py' can be found.

Is a slash ("/") equivalent to an encoded slash ("%2F") in the path portion of an HTTP URL

What to do if :foo in its natural form contains slashes? You wouldn't want it to Isn't that the distinction the recommendation is attempting to preserve? It specifically notes,

The similarity to unix and other disk operating system filename conventions should be taken as purely coincidental, and should not be taken to indicate that URIs should be interpreted as file names.

If one was building an online interface to a backup program, and wished to express the path as a part of the URL path, it would make sense to encode the slashes in the file path, as that is not really part of the hierarchy of the resource - and more importantly, the route. /backups/2016-07-28content//home/dan/ loses the root of the filesystem in the double slash. Escaping the slashes is the appropriate way to distinguish, as I read it.

Adding a custom header to HTTP request using angular.js

What you see for OPTIONS request is fine. Authorisation headers are not exposed in it.

But in order for basic auth to work you need to add: withCredentials = true; to your var config.

From the AngularJS $http documentation:

withCredentials - {boolean} - whether to to set the withCredentials flag on the XHR object. See requests with credentials for more information.

Windows cannot find 'http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again

Open your browser and type instead of "http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950"

type "http:/.127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950" you can reach home page.

you can set the HTTPPORT as 8080 in environment variables, the problem will be solved.

How to replace all double quotes to single quotes using jquery?

Use double quote to enclose the quote or escape it.

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, "'");

or

newTemp = mystring.replace(/"/g, '\'');

Remove specific commit

You can remove unwanted commits with git rebase. Say you included some commits from a coworker's topic branch into your topic branch, but later decide you don't want those commits.

git checkout -b tmp-branch my-topic-branch  # Use a temporary branch to be safe.
git rebase -i master  # Interactively rebase against master branch.

At this point your text editor will open the interactive rebase view. For example

git-rebase-todo

  1. Remove the commits you don't want by deleting their lines
  2. Save and quit

If the rebase wasn't successful, delete the temporary branch and try another strategy. Otherwise continue with the following instructions.

git checkout my-topic-branch
git reset --hard tmp-branch  # Overwrite your topic branch with the temp branch.
git branch -d tmp-branch  # Delete the temporary branch.

If you're pushing your topic branch to a remote, you may need to force push since the commit history has changed. If others are working on the same branch, give them a heads up.

load csv into 2D matrix with numpy for plotting

Pure numpy

numpy.loadtxt(open("test.csv", "rb"), delimiter=",", skiprows=1)

Check out the loadtxt documentation.

You can also use python's csv module:

import csv
import numpy
reader = csv.reader(open("test.csv", "rb"), delimiter=",")
x = list(reader)
result = numpy.array(x).astype("float")

You will have to convert it to your favorite numeric type. I guess you can write the whole thing in one line:

result = numpy.array(list(csv.reader(open("test.csv", "rb"), delimiter=","))).astype("float")

Added Hint:

You could also use pandas.io.parsers.read_csv and get the associated numpy array which can be faster.

How to create empty folder in java?

Can I run multiple versions of Google Chrome on the same machine? (Mac or Windows)

Your mileage may vary (mine sure did), but here's what worked for me (current version of Chrome as of this post is 33.x, and I was interested in 24.x)

  • Visit the Chromium repo proxy lookup site: http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/

  • In the little box called "Revision Lookup" type in the version number. This will translate it to a Subversion revision number. Keep that number in mind.

  • Visit the build repository: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html

  • Select the folder corresponding to the OS you're interested in (I have Win x64, but had to use Win,because there was no x64 build corresponding to the version I was looking for).

  • If you select Win, you could be in for a wait - as some of the pages have a lot of entries. Once the page loads, scroll to the folder containing the revision number you identified in an earlier step. If you don't find one, choose the next one up. This is a bit of trial and error to be honest - I had to back up about 50 revisions until I found a version close to the one I was looking for

  • Drill into that folder and download (on the Win version) chrome-win32.zip. That's all you need.

  • Unzip that file and then run chrome.exe

This worked for me and I'm running the latest Chrome alongside version 25, without problems (some profile issues on the older version, but that's neither here nor there). Didn't need to do anything else.

Again, YMMV, but try this solution first since it requires the least amount of tomfoolery.

    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, myPhotoFileUri);

?hat's all you need.

Dynamic Height Issue for UITableView Cells (Swift)

Try This:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

EDIT

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

Swift 4

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

Swift 4.2

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableView.automaticDimension
}

Define above Both Methods.
It solves the problem.

PS: Top and bottom constraints is required for this to work.

Here is example

Git keeps prompting me for a password

Use the following command to increase the timeout period so that you could retype password for a while

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout 3600'

I used it for Bitbucket and GitHub it works for both. The only thing you need to do is 3600 is in seconds. Increase it to whatever extent you want. I changed it to 259200 which is about 30 days. This way I re-enter my password for every 30 days or so.

How to keep the local file or the remote file during merge using Git and the command line?

For the line-end thingie, refer to man git-merge:

--ignore-space-change 
--ignore-all-space 
--ignore-space-at-eol

Be sure to add autocrlf = false and/or safecrlf = false to the windows clone (.git/config)

Using git mergetool

If you configure a mergetool like this:

git config mergetool.cp.cmd '/bin/cp -v "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"'
git config mergetool.cp.trustExitCode true

Then a simple

git mergetool --tool=cp
git mergetool --tool=cp -- paths/to/files.txt
git mergetool --tool=cp -y -- paths/to/files.txt # without prompting

Will do the job

Using simple git commands

In other cases, I assume

git checkout HEAD -- path/to/myfile.txt

should do the trick

Edit to do the reverse (because you screwed up):

git checkout remote/branch_to_merge -- path/to/myfile.txt

CSS position:fixed inside a positioned element

You can use the position:fixed;, but without set left and top. Then you will push it to the right using margin-left, to position it in the right position you wish.

Row names & column names in R

I think that using colnames and rownames makes the most sense; here's why.

Using names has several disadvantages. You have to remember that it means "column names", and it only works with data frame, so you'll need to call colnames whenever you use matrices. By calling colnames, you only have to remember one function. Finally, if you look at the code for colnames, you will see that it calls names in the case of a data frame anyway, so the output is identical.

rownames and row.names return the same values for data frame and matrices; the only difference that I have spotted is that where there aren't any names, rownames will print "NULL" (as does colnames), but row.names returns it invisibly. Since there isn't much to choose between the two functions, rownames wins on the grounds of aesthetics, since it pairs more prettily withcolnames. (Also, for the lazy programmer, you save a character of typing.)

Change <select>'s option and trigger events with JavaScript

html using Razor:

 @Html.DropDownList("test1", Model.SelectOptionList, new { id = "test1", onchange = "myFunction()" })

            console.log("it has been changed! to " + value );

How do I copy directories recursively with gulp?

If you want to copy the entire contents of a folder recursively into another folder, you can execute the following windows command from gulp:

xcopy /path/to/srcfolder /path/to/destfolder /s /e /y

The /y option at the end is to suppress the overwrite confirmation message.

In Linux, you can execute the following command from gulp:

cp -R /path/to/srcfolder /path/to/destfolder

you can use gulp-exec or gulp-run plugin to execute system commands from gulp.

Xcode - How to fix 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: … this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key X" error?

I was getting this error with storyboards. The above solution didn't seem to be the problem so I ended up deleting the view controller and adding it back in again (and of course reconnecting the segue and reassigning the class) which fixed it. I don't know what it really was, but I had renamed the associated view controller class shortly before this started, so maybe that had hosed something.

Why do I get a "Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of" error message when using HibernateCriteriaBuilder in Grails

A primitive type cannot be null. So the solution is replace primitive type with primitive wrapper class in your tableName.java file. Such as:

@Column(nullable=true, name="client_os_id")
private Integer client_os_id;

public int getClient_os_id() {
    return client_os_id;
}

public void setClient_os_id(int clientOsId) {
    client_os_id = clientOsId;
}

reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_wrapper_class to find wrapper class of a primivite type.

How do I check if a Sql server string is null or empty

Use the LEN function to check for null or empty values. You can just use LEN(@SomeVarcharParm) > 0. This will return false if the value is NULL, '', or ' '. This is because LEN(NULL) returns NULL and NULL > 0 returns false. Also, LEN(' ') returns 0. See for yourself run:

SELECT 
 CASE WHEN NULL > 0 THEN 'NULL > 0 = true' ELSE 'NULL > 0 = false' END,
 CASE WHEN LEN(NULL) > 0 THEN 'LEN(NULL) = true' ELSE 'LEN(NULL) = false' END,
 CASE WHEN LEN('') > 0 THEN 'LEN('''') > 0 = true' ELSE 'LEN('''') > 0 = false' END,
 CASE WHEN LEN(' ') > 0 THEN 'LEN('' '') > 0 = true' ELSE 'LEN('' '') > 0 = false' END,
 CASE WHEN LEN(' test ') > 0 THEN 'LEN('' test '') > 0 = true' ELSE 'LEN('' test '') > 0 = false' END

Excel error HRESULT: 0x800A03EC while trying to get range with cell's name

Interesting enough, this error also occurs, at time of opening when the .XLS? file is incorrectly formed or require repairs.

A hard to find error is to many rows on a .xls (old excel) file.

Test it: manually open the affected file with excel desktop .

I use automation to process a few hundred files daily, when this error show up, I notify the owner via mail and save the unprocessed file on a temporary location.

How to solve static declaration follows non-static declaration in GCC C code?

From what the error message complains about, it sounds like you should rather try to fix the source code. The compiler complains about difference in declaration, similar to for instance

void foo(int i);
...
void foo(double d) {
    ...
}

and this is not valid C code, hence the compiler complains.

Maybe your problem is that there is no prototype available when the function is used the first time and the compiler implicitly creates one that will not be static. If so the solution is to add a prototype somewhere before it is first used.

Local storage in Angular 2

We can easily use the localStorage for setting the data and receiving the data.

Note: it works with both angular2 and angular 4

//set the data
localStorage.setItem(key, value);   //syntax example
localStorage.setItem('tokenKey', response.json().token);

//get the data
localStorage.getItem('tokenKey')

//confirm if token is exist or not
return localStorage.getItem('tokenKey') != null;

Replace specific characters within strings

            pattern <- "e"  
            replacement <-  ""  
            group <- str_replace(group, pattern, replacement)      
            group

Re-assign host access permission to MySQL user

Similar issue where I was getting permissions failed. On my setup, I SSH in only. So What I did to correct the issue was

sudo MySQL
SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user WHERE Host <> '%';
MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user WHERE Host <> '%';
+-------+-------------+
| User  | Host        |
+-------+-------------+
| root  | 169.254.0.% |
| foo   | 192.168.0.% |
| bar   | 192.168.0.% |
+-------+-------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I need these users moved to 'localhost'. So I issued the following:

UPDATE mysql.user SET host = 'localhost' WHERE user = 'foo';
UPDATE mysql.user SET host = 'localhost' WHERE user = 'bar';

Run SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user WHERE Host <> '%'; again and we see:

MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT User, Host FROM mysql.user WHERE Host <> '%';
+-------+-------------+
| User  | Host        |
+-------+-------------+
| root  | 169.254.0.% |
| foo   | localhost   |
| bar   | localhost   |
+-------+-------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

And then I was able to work normally again. Hope that helps someone.

Difference between Spring MVC and Spring Boot

Spring MVC and Spring Boot are exist for the different purpose. So, it is not wise to compare each other as the contenders.

What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is a framework for packaging the spring application with sensible defaults. What does this mean?. You are developing a web application using Spring MVC, Spring Data, Hibernate and Tomcat. How do you package and deploy this application to your web server. As of now, we have to manually write the configurations, XML files, etc. for deploying to web server.

Spring Boot does that for you with Zero XML configuration in your project. Believe me, you don't need deployment descriptor, web server, etc. Spring Boot is magical framework that bundles all the dependencies for you. Finally your web application will be a standalone JAR file with embeded servers.

If you are still confused how this works, please read about microservice framework development using spring boot.

What is Spring MVC?

It is a traditional web application framework that helps you to build web applications. It is similar to Struts framework.

A Spring MVC is a Java framework which is used to build web applications. It follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern. It implements all the basic features of a core spring framework like Inversion of Control, Dependency Injection.

A Spring MVC provides an elegant solution to use MVC in spring framework by the help of DispatcherServlet. Here, DispatcherServlet is a class that receives the incoming request and maps it to the right resource such as controllers, models, and views.

I hope this helps you to understand the difference.

How do I redirect with JavaScript?

  • If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href.
  • If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use location.replace.

For example:

// Similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com");

// Similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";

How to check compiler log in sql developer?

control-shift-L should open the log(s) for you. this will by default be the messages log, but if you create the item that is creating the error the Compiler Log will show up (for me the box shows up in the bottom middle left).

if the messages log is the only log that shows up, simply re-execute the item that was causing the failure and the compiler log will show up

for instance, hit Control-shift-L then execute this

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST123() IS
BEGIN
VAR := 2;
end TEST123;

and you will see the message "Error(1,18): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ")" when expecting one of the following: current delete exists prior "

(You can also see this in "View--Log")

One more thing, if you are having a problem with a (function || package || procedure) if you do the coding via the SQL Developer interface (by finding the object in question on the connections tab and editing it the error will be immediately displayed (and even underlined at times)

<p>The CSS :active psuedo style is displayed between the time when a user touches down (when finger contacts screen) on a element to the time when the touch up (when finger leaves the screen) occures.   With a typical touch-screen tap interaction, the time of which the :active psuedo style is displayed can be very small resulting in the :active state not showing or being missed by the user entirely.  This can cause issues with users not undertanding if their button presses have actually reigstered or not.</p>

Is having an 'OR' in an INNER JOIN condition a bad idea?

This kind of JOIN is not optimizable to a HASH JOIN or a MERGE JOIN.

It can be expressed as a concatenation of two resultsets:

SELECT  *
FROM    maintable m
JOIN    othertable o
ON      o.parentId = m.id
UNION
SELECT  *
FROM    maintable m
JOIN    othertable o
ON      o.id = m.parentId

, each of them being an equijoin, however, SQL Server's optimizer is not smart enough to see it in the query you wrote (though they are logically equivalent).

How to check if a specific key is present in a hash or not?

You can use hash.keys.include?(key)

irb(main):001:0> hash = {"pot" => 1, "tot" => 2, "not" => 3}
=> {"pot"=>1, "tot"=>2, "not"=>3}
irb(main):002:0> key = "not"
=> "not"
irb(main):003:0> hash.keys.include?(key)
=> true

ORA-01008: not all variables bound. They are bound

On Charles' comment problem: to make things worse, let

ORA-01008: not all variables bound

Both statements execute fine in SQL Developer. The shortened code:

            Using con = New OracleConnection(cs)
                con.Open()
                Using cmd = con.CreateCommand()
                    cmd.CommandText = cmdText
                    cmd.Parameters.Add(pn, OracleDbType.NVarchar2, 250).Value = p

                    Dim da = New OracleDataAdapter(cmd)
                    da.Fill(tbl)
                    Return tbl
                End Using
            End Using

using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll Version 4.121.2.0 with the default settings in VS2015 on the .Net 4.61 platform.

So somewhere in the call chain, there might be a parser that is a bit too aggressively looking for one-line-comments started by -- in the commandText. But even if this would be true, the error message "not all variables bound" is at least misleading.

Automatically accept all SDK licences

You can accept all the license by executing the following command:

 sdkmanager --licenses

This will prompt you through each licenses you haven't accepted yet and you can just enter y to accept each of them.

Calculate row means on subset of columns

Starting with your data frame DF, you could use the data.table package:

library(data.table)

## EDIT: As suggested by @MichaelChirico, setDT converts a
## data.frame to a data.table by reference and is preferred
## if you don't mind losing the data.frame
setDT(DF)

# EDIT: To get the column name 'Mean':

DF[, .(Mean = rowMeans(.SD)), by = ID]

#      ID     Mean
# [1,]  A 3.666667
# [2,]  B 4.333333
# [3,]  C 3.333333
# [4,]  D 4.666667
# [5,]  E 4.333333

How can I create a unique constraint on my column (SQL Server 2008 R2)?

To create these constraints through the GUI you need the "indexes and keys" dialogue not the check constraints one.

But in your case you just need to run the piece of code you already have. It doesn't need to be entered into the expression dialogue at all.

ValueError: unconverted data remains: 02:05

The value of st at st = datetime.strptime(st, '%A %d %B') line something like 01 01 2013 02:05 and the strptime can't parse this. Indeed, you get an hour in addition of the date... You need to add %H:%M at your strptime.

pycharm convert tabs to spaces automatically

For selections, you can also convert the selection using the "To spaces" function. I usually just use it via the ctrl-shift-A then find "To Spaces" from there.

Ubuntu - Run command on start-up with "sudo"

Using '@reboot' you can Run a command once, at startup.

Wrapping up: run $ sudo crontab -e -u root

And add a line at the end of the file with your command as follows:

@reboot sudo searchd

Moment.js with Vuejs

global members are not available by default in your <template>'s scope. But you can easily pass them on using computed properties.

computed: {
  moment: () => moment,
  console: () => console,
  window: () => window
}

Now you can use any of them in your template. i.e: console.log(moment(), window).

Note this doesn't add any overhead.

Remove all child elements of a DOM node in JavaScript

Convert String into a Class Object

As stated by others, your question is ambiguous at best. The problem is, you want to represent the object as a string, and then be able to construct the object again from that string.

However, note that while many object types in Java have string representations, this does not guarantee that an object can be constructed from its string representation.

To quote this source,

Object serialization is the process of saving an object's state to a sequence of bytes, as well as the process of rebuilding those bytes into a live object at some future time.

So, you see, what you want might not be possible. But it is possible to save your object's state to a byte sequence, and then reconstruct it from that byte sequence.

Trigger function when date is selected with jQuery UI datepicker

If you are also interested in the case where the user closes the date selection dialog without selecting a date (in my case choosing no date also has meaning) you can bind to the onClose event:

$('#datePickerElement').datepicker({
         onClose: function (dateText, inst) {
            //you will get here once the user is done "choosing" - in the dateText you will have 
            //the new date or "" if no date has been selected             
      });

UIGestureRecognizer on UIImageView

Check that userInteractionEnabled is YES on the UIImageView. Then you can add a gesture recognizer.

imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pgr = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] 
    initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handlePinch:)];
pgr.delegate = self;
[imageView addGestureRecognizer:pgr];
[pgr release];
:
:
- (void)handlePinch:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)pinchGestureRecognizer
{
  //handle pinch...
}

Make a dictionary in Python from input values

n=int(input())
pair = dict()

for i in range(0,n):
        word = input().split()
        key = word[0]
        value = word[1]
        pair[key]=value

print(pair)

How do I check if an object has a specific property in JavaScript?

A Better approach for iterating on object's own properties:

If you want to iterate on object's properties without using hasOwnProperty() check, use for(let key of Object.keys(stud)){} method:

for(let key of Object.keys(stud)){
  console.log(key); // will only log object's Own properties
}

full Example and comparison with for-in with hasOwnProperty()

function Student() {
  this.name = "nitin";
}

Student.prototype = {
  grade: 'A'
}

let stud = new Student();

// for-in approach
for(let key in stud){
  if(stud.hasOwnProperty(key)){
    console.log(key); // only outputs "name"
  }
} 

//Object.keys() approach
for(let key of Object.keys(stud)){
  console.log(key);
}

How to config routeProvider and locationProvider in angularJS?

Following is how one can configure $locationProvider using requireBase=false flag to avoid setting base href <head><base href="/"></head>:

var app = angular.module("hwapp", ['ngRoute']);

app.config(function($locationProvider){
    $locationProvider.html5Mode({
        enabled: true,
        requireBase: false
    }) 
});

JQuery get data from JSON array

You're not looping over the items. Try this instead:

$.getJSON(url, function(data){

    });
});

Ugly PHP!

The JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE|JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES must be default, not an (strange) option... How to say it to php-developers?

The default MUST be the most frequent use, and the (current) most widely used standards as UTF8. How many PHP-code fragments in the Github or other place need this exoctic "embedded in HTML" feature?

MySQL dump by query

You could use --where option on mysqldump to produce an output that you are waiting for:

mysqldump -u root -p test t1 --where="1=1 limit 100" > arquivo.sql

At most 100 rows from test.t1 will be dumped from database table.

how to implement a long click listener on a listview

If you want to do it in the adapter, you can simply do this:

itemView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "Long pressed on item", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

build maven project with propriatery libraries included

A good way to achieve this is to have a Maven mirror server such as Sonatype Nexus. It is free and very easy to setup (Java web app). With Nexus one can have private (team, corporate etc) repository with a capability of deploying third party and internal apps into it, while also registering other Maven repositories as part of the same server. This way the local Maven settings would reference only the one private Nexus server and all the dependencies will be resolved using it.

Cannot import scipy.misc.imread

If you have Pillow installed with scipy and it is still giving you error then check your scipy version because it has been removed from scipy since 1.3.0rc1.

rather install scipy 1.1.0 by :

pip install scipy==1.1.0

check https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/6212


The method imread in scipy.misc requires the forked package of PIL named Pillow. If you are having problem installing the right version of PIL try using imread in other packages:

from matplotlib.pyplot import imread
im = imread(image.png)

To read jpg images without PIL use:

import cv2 as cv
im = cv.imread(image.jpg)

You can try from scipy.misc.pilutil import imread instead of from scipy.misc import imread

Please check the GitHub page : https://github.com/amueller/mglearn/issues/2 for more details.

Enabling refreshing for specific html elements only

try to empty your innerHtml everytime. just like this:

Set the absolute position of a view

Just to add to Andy Zhang's answer above, if you want to, you can give param to rl.addView, then make changes to it later, so:

params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(30, 40);
params.leftMargin = 50;
params.topMargin = 60;
rl.addView(iv, params);

Could equally well be written as:

params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(30, 40);
rl.addView(iv, params);
params.leftMargin = 50;
params.topMargin = 60;

So if you retain the params variable, you can change the layout of iv at any time after adding it to rl.

How does OkHttp get Json string?

As I observed in my code. If once the value is fetched of body from Response, its become blank.

String str = response.body().string();  // {response:[]}

String str1  = response.body().string();  // BLANK

So I believe after fetching once the value from body, it become empty.

Suggestion : Store it in String, that can be used many time.

How to compare binary files to check if they are the same?

Diff with the following options would do a binary comparison to check just if the files are different at all and it'd output if the files are the same as well:

diff -qs {file1} {file2}

If you are comparing two files with the same name in different directories, you can use this form instead:

diff -qs {file1} --to-file={dir2}

OS X El Capitan

Ansible: how to get output to display

Every Ansible task when run can save its results into a variable. To do this, you have to specify which variable to save the results into. Do this with the register parameter, independently of the module used.

Once you save the results to a variable you can use it later in any of the subsequent tasks. So for example if you want to get the standard output of a specific task you can write the following:

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - shell: ls
      register: shell_result

    - debug:
        var: shell_result.stdout_lines

Here register tells ansible to save the response of the module into the shell_result variable, and then we use the debug module to print the variable out.

An example run would look like the this:

PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************

TASK [command] *****************************************************************
changed: [localhost]

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "shell_result.stdout_lines": [
        "play.yml"
    ]
}

Responses can contain multiple fields. stdout_lines is one of the default fields you can expect from a module's response.

Not all fields are available from all modules, for example for a module which doesn't return anything to the standard out you wouldn't expect anything in the stdout or stdout_lines values, however the msg field might be filled in this case. Also there are some modules where you might find something in a non-standard variable, for these you can try to consult the module's documentation for these non-standard return values.

Alternatively you can increase the verbosity level of ansible-playbook. You can choose between different verbosity levels: -v, -vvv and -vvvv. For example when running the playbook with verbosity (-vvv) you get this:

PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************

TASK [command] *****************************************************************
(...)
changed: [localhost] => {
    "changed": true,
    "cmd": "ls",
    "delta": "0:00:00.007621",
    "end": "2017-02-17 23:04:41.912570",
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "_raw_params": "ls",
            "_uses_shell": true,
            "chdir": null,
            "creates": null,
            "executable": null,
            "removes": null,
            "warn": true
        },
        "module_name": "command"
    },
    "rc": 0,
    "start": "2017-02-17 23:04:41.904949",
    "stderr": "",
    "stdout": "play.retry\nplay.yml",
    "stdout_lines": [
        "play.retry",
        "play.yml"
    ],
    "warnings": []
}

As you can see this will print out the response of each of the modules, and all of the fields available. You can see that the stdout_lines is available, and its contents are what we expect.

To answer your main question about the jenkins_script module, if you check its documentation, you can see that it returns the output in the output field, so you might want to try the following:

tasks:
  - jenkins_script:
      script: (...)
    register: jenkins_result

  - debug:
      var: jenkins_result.output

SQL Server : trigger how to read value for Insert, Update, Delete

Here is the syntax to create a trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name
ON { table | view }
[ WITH ENCRYPTION ]
{
    { { FOR | AFTER | INSTEAD OF } { [ INSERT ] [ , ] [ UPDATE ] [ , ] [ DELETE ] }
        [ WITH APPEND ]
        [ NOT FOR REPLICATION ]
        AS
        [ { IF UPDATE ( column )
            [ { AND | OR } UPDATE ( column ) ]
                [ ...n ]
        | IF ( COLUMNS_UPDATED ( ) { bitwise_operator } updated_bitmask )
                { comparison_operator } column_bitmask [ ...n ]
        } ]
        sql_statement [ ...n ]
    }
} 

If you want to use On Update you only can do it with the IF UPDATE ( column ) section. That's not possible to do what you are asking.

Do on-demand Mac OS X cloud services exist, comparable to Amazon's EC2 on-demand instances?

Here are some methods that may help others, though they aren't really services as much as they may be described as "methods that may, after some torture of effort or logic, lead to a claim of on-demand access to Mac OS X" (no doubt I should patent that phrase).

Fundamentally, I am inclined to believe that on-demand (per-hour) hosting does not exist, and @Erik has given information for the shortest feasible services, i.e. monthly hosting.


It seems that one may use EC2 itself, but install OS X on the instance through a lot of elbow grease.

  • This article on Lifehacker.com gives instructions for setting up OSX under Virtual Box and depends on hardware virtualization. It seems that the Cluster Compute instances (and Cluster GPU, but ignore these) are the only ones supporting hardware virtualization.
  • This article gives instructions for transferring a VirtualBox image to EC2.

Where this gets tricky is I'm not sure if this will work for a cluster compute instance. In fact, I think this is likely to be a royal pain. A similar approach may work for Rackspace or other cloud services.

I found only this site claiming on-demand Mac hosting, with a Mac Mini. It doesn't look particularly accurate: it offers free on-demand access to a Mini if one pays for a month of bandwidth. That's like free bandwidth if one rents a Mini for a month. That's not really how "on-demand" works.


Update 1: In the end, it seems that nobody offers a comparable service. An outfit called Media Temple claims they will offer the first virtual servers using Parallels, OS X Leopard, and some other stuff (in other words, I wonder if there is some caveat that makes them unique, but, without that caveat, someone else may have a usable offering).

After this search, I think that a counterpart to EC2 does not exist for the OS X operating system. It is extraordinarily unlikely that one would exist, offer a scalable solution, and yet be very difficult to find. One could set it up internally, but there's no reseller/vendor offering on-demand, hourly virtual servers. This may be disappointing, but not surprising - apparently iCloud is running on Amazon and Microsoft systems.

check / uncheck checkbox using jquery?

You can set the state of the checkbox based on the value:

$('#your-checkbox').prop('checked', value == 1);

position: fixed doesn't work on iPad and iPhone

Even though the CSS attribute {position:fixed;} seems (mostly) working on newer iOS devices, it is possible to have the device quirk and fallback to {position:relative;} on occasion and without cause or reason. Usually clearing the cache will help, until something happens and the quirk happens again.

Specifically, from Apple itself Preparing Your Web Content for iPad:

Safari on iPad and Safari on iPhone do not have resizable windows. In Safari on iPhone and iPad, the window size is set to the size of the screen (minus Safari user interface controls), and cannot be changed by the user. To move around a webpage, the user changes the zoom level and position of the viewport as they double tap or pinch to zoom in or out, or by touching and dragging to pan the page. As a user changes the zoom level and position of the viewport they are doing so within a viewable content area of fixed size (that is, the window). This means that webpage elements that have their position "fixed" to the viewport can end up outside the viewable content area, offscreen.

What is ironic, Android devices do not seem to have this issue. Also it is entirely possible to use {position:absolute;} when in reference to the body tag and not have any issues.

I found the root cause of this quirk; that it is the scroll event not playing nice when used in conjunction with the HTML or BODY tag. Sometimes it does not like to fire the event, or you will have to wait until the scroll swing event is finished to receive the event. Specifically, the viewport is re-drawn at the end of this event and fixed elements can be re-positioned somewhere else in the viewport.

So this is what I do: (avoid using the viewport, and stick with the DOM!)

<html>
  <style>
    .fixed{
      position:fixed;
      /*you can set your other static attributes here too*/
      /*like height and width, margin, etc.*/
      }
    .scrollableDiv{
      position:relative;
      overflow-y:scroll;
      /*all children will scroll within this like the body normally would.*/
      } 
    .viewportSizedBody{
      position:relative;
      overflow:hidden;
      /*this will prevent the body page itself from scrolling.*/
      } 
  </style>
  <body class="viewportSizedBody">
    <div id="myFixedContainer" class="fixed">
       This part is fixed.
    </div>
    <div id="myScrollableBody" class="scrollableDiv">
       This part is scrollable.
    </div>
  </body>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="{your path to jquery}/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    var theViewportHeight=$(window).height();
    $('.viewportSizedBody').css('height',theViewportHeight);
    $('#myScrollableBody').css('height',theViewportHeight);
  </script>
</html>

In essence this will cause the BODY to be the size of the viewport and non-scrollable. The scrollable DIV nested inside will scroll as the BODY normally would (minus the swing effect, so the scrolling does stop on touchend.) The fixed DIV stays fixed without interference.

As a side note, a high z-index value on the fixed DIV is important to keep the scrollable DIV appear to be behind it. I normally add in window resize and scroll events also for cross-browser and alternate screen resolution compatibility.

If all else fails, the above code will also work with both the fixed and scrollable DIVs set to {position:absolute;}.

Is List<Dog> a subclass of List<Animal>? Why are Java generics not implicitly polymorphic?

The reason a List<Dog> is not a List<Animal>, is that, for example, you can insert a Cat into a List<Animal>, but not into a List<Dog>... you can use wildcards to make generics more extensible where possible; for example, reading from a List<Dog> is the similar to reading from a List<Animal> -- but not writing.

The Generics in the Java Language and the Section on Generics from the Java Tutorials have a very good, in-depth explanation as to why some things are or are not polymorphic or permitted with generics.

Using Spring RestTemplate in generic method with generic parameter

Actually, you can do this, but with additional code.

There is Guava equivalent of ParameterizedTypeReference and it's called TypeToken.

Guava's class is much more powerful then Spring's equivalent. You can compose the TypeTokens as you wish. For example:

static <K, V> TypeToken<Map<K, V>> mapToken(TypeToken<K> keyToken, TypeToken<V> valueToken) {
  return new TypeToken<Map<K, V>>() {}
    .where(new TypeParameter<K>() {}, keyToken)
    .where(new TypeParameter<V>() {}, valueToken);
}

If you call mapToken(TypeToken.of(String.class), TypeToken.of(BigInteger.class)); you will create TypeToken<Map<String, BigInteger>>!

The only disadvantage here is that many Spring APIs require ParameterizedTypeReference and not TypeToken. But we can create ParameterizedTypeReference implementation which is adapter to TypeToken itself.

import com.google.common.reflect.TypeToken;
import org.springframework.core.ParameterizedTypeReference;

import java.lang.reflect.Type;

public class ParameterizedTypeReferenceBuilder {

    public static <T> ParameterizedTypeReference<T> fromTypeToken(TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
        return new TypeTokenParameterizedTypeReference<>(typeToken);
    }

    private static class TypeTokenParameterizedTypeReference<T> extends ParameterizedTypeReference<T> {

        private final Type type;

        private TypeTokenParameterizedTypeReference(TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
            this.type = typeToken.getType();
        }

        @Override
        public Type getType() {
            return type;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object obj) {
            return (this == obj || (obj instanceof ParameterizedTypeReference &&
                    this.type.equals(((ParameterizedTypeReference<?>) obj).getType())));
        }

        @Override
        public int hashCode() {
            return this.type.hashCode();
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "ParameterizedTypeReference<" + this.type + ">";
        }

    }

}

Then you can use it like this:

public <T> ResponseWrapper<T> makeRequest(URI uri, Class<T> clazz) {
   ParameterizedTypeReference<ResponseWrapper<T>> responseTypeRef =
           ParameterizedTypeReferenceBuilder.fromTypeToken(
               new TypeToken<ResponseWrapper<T>>() {}
                   .where(new TypeParameter<T>() {}, clazz));
   ResponseEntity<ResponseWrapper<T>> response = template.exchange(
        uri,
        HttpMethod.POST,
        null,
        responseTypeRef);
    return response;
}

And call it like:

ResponseWrapper<MyClass> result = makeRequest(uri, MyClass.class);

And the response body will be correctly deserialized as ResponseWrapper<MyClass>!

You can even use more complex types if you rewrite your generic request method (or overload it) like this:

public <T> ResponseWrapper<T> makeRequest(URI uri, TypeToken<T> resultTypeToken) {
   ParameterizedTypeReference<ResponseWrapper<T>> responseTypeRef =
           ParameterizedTypeReferenceBuilder.fromTypeToken(
               new TypeToken<ResponseWrapper<T>>() {}
                   .where(new TypeParameter<T>() {}, resultTypeToken));
   ResponseEntity<ResponseWrapper<T>> response = template.exchange(
        uri,
        HttpMethod.POST,
        null,
        responseTypeRef);
    return response;
}

This way T can be complex type, like List<MyClass>.

And call it like:

ResponseWrapper<List<MyClass>> result = makeRequest(uri, new TypeToken<List<MyClass>>() {});

How does one make random number between range for arc4random_uniform()?

I believe you should do

dice1 = arc4random_uniform(6) + 1;

to get the range 1 - 6. I don't do iOS objective C nor have I any knowledge on swift-language though. The random method should return a value between 0 and 5, and + 1 will make it a value between 1 and 6.

If you need a range between lets say 10 - 30 then just do

int random = arc4random_uniform(21) + 10;

How to block until an event is fired in c#

If the current method is async then you can use TaskCompletionSource. Create a field that the event handler and the current method can access.

    TaskCompletionSource<bool> tcs = null;

    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<bool>();
        await tcs.Task;
        WelcomeTitle.Text = "Finished work";
    }

    private void Button_Click2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        tcs?.TrySetResult(true);
    }

This example uses a form that has a textblock named WelcomeTitle and two buttons. When the first button is clicked it starts the click event but stops at the await line. When the second button is clicked the task is completed and the WelcomeTitle text is updated. If you want to timeout as well then change

await tcs.Task;

to

await Task.WhenAny(tcs.Task, Task.Delay(25000));
if (tcs.Task.IsCompleted)
    WelcomeTitle.Text = "Task Completed";
else
    WelcomeTitle.Text = "Task Timed Out";

Call a Javascript function every 5 seconds continuously

For repeating an action in the future, there is the built in setInterval function that you can use instead of setTimeout.
It has a similar signature, so the transition from one to another is simple:

setInterval(function() {
    // do stuff
}, duration);

Local Storage vs Cookies

Local storage can store up to 5mb offline data, whereas session can also store up to 5 mb data. But cookies can store only 4kb data in text format.

LOCAl and Session storage data in JSON format, thus easy to parse. But cookies data is in string format.

How to "log in" to a website using Python's Requests module?

If the information you want is on the page you are directed to immediately after login...

Lets call your ck variable payload instead, like in the python-requests docs:

payload = {'inUserName': 'USERNAME/EMAIL', 'inUserPass': 'PASSWORD'}
url = 'http://www.locationary.com/home/index2.jsp'
requests.post(url, data=payload)

Otherwise...

Pythonic way to find maximum value and its index in a list?

Here is a complete solution to your question using Python's built-in functions:

# Create the List
numbers = input("Enter the elements of the list. Separate each value with a comma. Do not put a comma at the end.\n").split(",") 

# Convert the elements in the list (treated as strings) to integers
numberL = [int(element) for element in numbers] 

# Loop through the list with a for-loop

for elements in numberL:
    maxEle = max(numberL)
    indexMax = numberL.index(maxEle)

print(maxEle)
print(indexMax)

FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF

For fpdf to work properly, there cannot be any output at all beside what fpdf generates. For example, this will work:

<?php
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

While this will not (note the leading space before the opening <? tag)

 <?php
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

Also, this will not work either (the echo will break it):

<?php
echo "About to create pdf";
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

I'm not sure about the drupal side of things, but I know that absolutely zero non-fpdf output is a requirement for fpdf to work.


add ob_start (); at the top and at the end add ob_end_flush();

<?php
    ob_start();
    require('fpdf.php');
    $pdf = new FPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
    $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
    $pdf->Output();
    ob_end_flush(); 
?>

give me an error as below:
FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF

to over come this error: go to fpdf.php in that,goto line number 996

function Output($name='', $dest='')

after that make changes like this:

function Output($name='', $dest='') {   
    ob_clean();     //Output PDF to so

Hi do you have a session header on the top of your page. or any includes If you have then try to add this codes on top pf your page it should works fine.

<?

while (ob_get_level())
ob_end_clean();
header("Content-Encoding: None", true);

?>

cheers :-)


In my case i had set:

Turning off the display_errors option, the report was generated successfully.

JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse

Think that JavaScriptDevelopmentTools might do it. Although, I have eclipse indigo, and I'm pretty sure it does that kind of thing automatically.

Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer... (error code 3417)

i had the same problem before

the error code 3417 : the SQL SERVER cannot start the master database, without master db SQL SERVER can't start MSSQLSERVER_3417

The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system. This includes instance-wide metadata such as logon accounts, endpoints, linked servers, and system configuration settings. In SQL Server, system objects are no longer stored in the master database; instead, they are stored in the Resource database. Also, master is the database that records the existence of all other databases and the location of those database files and records the initialization information for SQL Server. Therefore, SQL Server cannot start if the master database is unavailable MSDN Master DB so you need to reconfigure all settings after restoring master db

solutions

  • replace master mdf and ldf files with the same files from another instance of sql Server as long as its the same version reference
  • Rebuild System Databases refrence
  • reinstall sql server

Open link in new tab or window

You should add the target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" in the anchor tag.

For example:

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://your_url_here.html">Link</a>

Adding rel="noopener noreferrer" is not mandatory, but it's a recommended security measure. More information can be found in the links below.

Can I have multiple primary keys in a single table?

Having two primary keys at the same time, is not possible. But (assuming that you have not messed the case up with composite key), may be what you might need is to make one attribute unique.

CREATE t1(
c1 int NOT NULL,
c2 int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
...,
PRIMARY KEY (c1)
);

However note that in relational database a 'super key' is a subset of attributes which uniquely identify a tuple or row in a table. A 'key' is a 'super key' that has an additional property that removing any attribute from the key, makes that key no more a 'super key'(or simply a 'key' is a minimal super key). If there are more keys, all of them are candidate keys. We select one of the candidate keys as a primary key. That's why talking about multiple primary keys for a one relation or table is being a conflict.

RegEx: How can I match all numbers greater than 49?

I know this is old, but none of these expressions worked for me (maybe it's because I'm on PHP). The following expression worked fine to validate that a number is higher than 49:

Is JavaScript object-oriented?

Is JavaScript object-oriented?

Answer : Yes

It has objects which can contain data and methods that act upon that data. Objects can contain other objects.

  • It does not have classes, but it does have constructors which do what classes do, including acting as containers for class variables and methods.
  • It does not have class-oriented inheritance, but it does have prototype-oriented inheritance.

The two main ways of building up object systems are by inheritance (is-a) and by aggregation (has-a). JavaScript does both, but its dynamic nature allows it to excel at aggregation.

Some argue that JavaScript is not truly object oriented because it does not provide information hiding. That is, objects cannot have private variables and private methods: All members are public.

But it turns out that JavaScript objects can have private variables and private methods. (Click here now to find out how.) Of course, few understand this because JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language.

Some argue that JavaScript is not truly object oriented because it does not provide inheritance. But it turns out that JavaScript supports not only classical inheritance, but other code reuse patterns as well.

SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 81

It didn't feel like folks were answering the issue here which is: being on the latest version of beta Chrome/Chromium and not seeing the matching chromedriver version

For example, currently as of writing this, Chromium for Mac is Version 86.0.4190.0 (Developer Build) (64-bit) however the latest chromedriver versions listed are

Current stable release: ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39

Current beta release: ChromeDriver 84.0.4147.30

If you go to https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads/version-selection, they provide some pointers on getting a compatible version. One of the last lines near the end mentions trying the ChromeDriver Canary build which leads to how to get it from Chromium browser snapshots.

Of course this goes without saying that using the latest experimental version is likely to have bugs

How to stop asynctask thread in android?

The reason why things aren't stopping for you is because the process (doInBackground()) runs until it is finished. Therefore you should check if the thread is cancelled or not before doing stuff:

if(!isCancelled()){
// Do your stuff
}

So basically, if the thread is not cancelled, do it, otherwise skip it :) Could be useful to check for this some times during your operation, especially before time taking stuff.

Also it could be useful to "clean up" alittle in

onCancelled();

Python assigning multiple variables to same value? list behavior

If you're coming to Python from a language in the C/Java/etc. family, it may help you to stop thinking about a as a "variable", and start thinking of it as a "name".

a, b, and c aren't different variables with equal values; they're different names for the same identical value. Variables have types, identities, addresses, and all kinds of stuff like that.

Names don't have any of that. Values do, of course, and you can have lots of names for the same value.

If you give Notorious B.I.G. a hot dog,* Biggie Smalls and Chris Wallace have a hot dog. If you change the first element of a to 1, the first elements of b and c are 1.

If you want to know if two names are naming the same object, use the is operator:

>>> a=b=c=[0,3,5]
>>> a is b
True

You then ask:

what is different from this?

d=e=f=3
e=4
print('f:',f)
print('e:',e)

Here, you're rebinding the name e to the value 4. That doesn't affect the names d and f in any way.

In your previous version, you were assigning to a[0], not to a. So, from the point of view of a[0], you're rebinding a[0], but from the point of view of a, you're changing it in-place.

You can use the id function, which gives you some unique number representing the identity of an object, to see exactly which object is which even when is can't help:

>>> a=b=c=[0,3,5]
>>> id(a)
4473392520
>>> id(b)
4473392520
>>> id(a[0])
4297261120
>>> id(b[0])
4297261120

>>> a[0] = 1
>>> id(a)
4473392520
>>> id(b)
4473392520
>>> id(a[0])
4297261216
>>> id(b[0])
4297261216

Notice that a[0] has changed from 4297261120 to 4297261216—it's now a name for a different value. And b[0] is also now a name for that same new value. That's because a and b are still naming the same object.


Under the covers, a[0]=1 is actually calling a method on the list object. (It's equivalent to a.__setitem__(0, 1).) So, it's not really rebinding anything at all. It's like calling my_object.set_something(1). Sure, likely the object is rebinding an instance attribute in order to implement this method, but that's not what's important; what's important is that you're not assigning anything, you're just mutating the object. And it's the same with a[0]=1.


user570826 asked:

What if we have, a = b = c = 10

That's exactly the same situation as a = b = c = [1, 2, 3]: you have three names for the same value.

But in this case, the value is an int, and ints are immutable. In either case, you can rebind a to a different value (e.g., a = "Now I'm a string!"), but the won't affect the original value, which b and c will still be names for. The difference is that with a list, you can change the value [1, 2, 3] into [1, 2, 3, 4] by doing, e.g., a.append(4); since that's actually changing the value that b and c are names for, b will now b [1, 2, 3, 4]. There's no way to change the value 10 into anything else. 10 is 10 forever, just like Claudia the vampire is 5 forever (at least until she's replaced by Kirsten Dunst).

Difference between OpenJDK and Adoptium/AdoptOpenJDK

In short:

  • OpenJDK has multiple meanings and can refer to:
    • free and open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE)
    • open source repository — the Java source code aka OpenJDK project
    • prebuilt OpenJDK binaries maintained by Oracle
    • prebuilt OpenJDK binaries maintained by the OpenJDK community
  • AdoptOpenJDK — prebuilt OpenJDK binaries maintained by community (open source licensed)

Explanation:

Prebuilt OpenJDK (or distribution) — binaries, built from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/, provided as an archive or installer, offered for various platforms, with a possible support contract.

OpenJDK, the source repository (also called OpenJDK project) - is a Mercurial-based open source repository, hosted at http://hg.openjdk.java.net. The Java source code. The vast majority of Java features (from the VM and the core libraries to the compiler) are based solely on this source repository. Oracle have an alternate fork of this.

OpenJDK, the distribution (see the list of providers below) - is free as in beer and kind of free as in speech, but, you do not get to call Oracle if you have problems with it. There is no support contract. Furthermore, Oracle will only release updates to any OpenJDK (the distribution) version if that release is the most recent Java release, including LTS (long-term support) releases. The day Oracle releases OpenJDK (the distribution) version 12.0, even if there's a security issue with OpenJDK (the distribution) version 11.0, Oracle will not release an update for 11.0. Maintained solely by Oracle.

Some OpenJDK projects - such as OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 - are maintained by the OpenJDK community and provide releases for some OpenJDK versions for some platforms. The community members have taken responsibility for releasing fixes for security vulnerabilities in these OpenJDK versions.

AdoptOpenJDK, the distribution is very similar to Oracle's OpenJDK distribution (in that it is free, and it is a build produced by compiling the sources from the OpenJDK source repository). AdoptOpenJDK as an entity will not be backporting patches, i.e. there won't be an AdoptOpenJDK 'fork/version' that is materially different from upstream (except for some build script patches for things like Win32 support). Meaning, if members of the community (Oracle or others, but not AdoptOpenJDK as an entity) backport security fixes to updates of OpenJDK LTS versions, then AdoptOpenJDK will provide builds for those. Maintained by OpenJDK community.

OracleJDK - is yet another distribution. Starting with JDK12 there will be no free version of OracleJDK. Oracle's JDK distribution offering is intended for commercial support. You pay for this, but then you get to rely on Oracle for support. Unlike Oracle's OpenJDK offering, OracleJDK comes with longer support for LTS versions. As a developer you can get a free license for personal/development use only of this particular JDK, but that's mostly a red herring, as 'just the binary' is basically the same as the OpenJDK binary. I guess it means you can download security-patched versions of LTS JDKs from Oracle's websites as long as you promise not to use them commercially.

Note. It may be best to call the OpenJDK builds by Oracle the "Oracle OpenJDK builds".

Donald Smith, Java product manager at Oracle writes:

Ideally, we would simply refer to all Oracle JDK builds as the "Oracle JDK", either under the GPL or the commercial license, depending on your situation. However, for historical reasons, while the small remaining differences exist, we will refer to them separately as Oracle’s OpenJDK builds and the Oracle JDK.

Free Builds from Source - the distribution source code is publicly available and one can assemble its own build

Free Binary Distributions - the distribution binaries are publicly available for download and usage

Extended Updates - aka LTS (long-term support) - Public Updates beyond the 6-month release lifecycle

Commercial Support - some providers offer extended updates and customer support to paying customers, e.g. Oracle JDK (support details)

Permissive License - the distribution license is non-protective, e.g. Apache 2.0


Which Java Distribution Should I Use?

In the Sun/Oracle days, it was usually Sun/Oracle producing the proprietary downstream JDK distributions based on OpenJDK sources. Recently, Oracle had decided to do their own proprietary builds only with the commercial support attached. They graciously publish the OpenJDK builds as well on their https://jdk.java.net/ site.

What is happening starting JDK 11 is the shift from single-vendor (Oracle) mindset to the mindset where you select a provider that gives you a distribution for the product, under the conditions you like: platforms they build for, frequency and promptness of releases, how support is structured, etc. If you don't trust any of existing vendors, you can even build OpenJDK yourself.

Each build of OpenJDK is usually made from the same original upstream source repository (OpenJDK “the project”). However each build is quite unique - $free or commercial, branded or unbranded, pure or bundled (e.g., BellSoft Liberica JDK offers bundled JavaFX, which was removed from Oracle builds starting JDK 11).

If no environment (e.g., Linux) and/or license requirement defines specific distribution and if you want the most standard JDK build, then probably the best option is to use OpenJDK by Oracle or AdoptOpenJDK.

CSS Div Background Image Fixed Height 100% Width

See my answer to a similar question here.

It sounds like you want a background-image to keep it's own aspect ratio while expanding to 100% width and getting cropped off on the top and bottom. If that's the case, do something like this:

.chapter {
    position: relative;
    height: 1200px;
    z-index: 1;
}

#chapter1 {
    background-image: url(http://omset.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/homer-simpson-1-264a0.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100% auto;
    background-position: center top;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ndKWN/3/

The problem with this approach is that you have the container elements at a fixed height, so there can be space below if the screen is small enough.

If you want the height to keep the image's aspect ratio, you'll have to do something like what I wrote in an edit to the answer I linked to above. Set the container's height to 0 and set the padding-bottom to the percentage of the width:

.chapter {
    position: relative;
    height: 0;
    padding-bottom: 75%;
    z-index: 1;
}

#chapter1 {
    background-image: url(http://omset.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/homer-simpson-1-264a0.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100% auto;
    background-position: center top;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ndKWN/4/

You could also put the padding-bottom percentage into each #chapter style if each image has a different aspect ratio. In order to use different aspect ratios, divide the height of the original image by it's own width, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage value.

How to loop through all the properties of a class?

Or:

[WHEN <search_condition> THEN statements] 
ELSE statements

When do Java generics require <? extends T> instead of <T> and is there any downside of switching?

I know this is an old question but I want to share an example that I think explains bounded wildcards pretty well. java.util.Collections offers this method:

public static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) {
    list.sort(c);

If we have a List of T, the List can, of course, contain instances of types that extend T. If the List contains Animals, the List can contain both Dogs and Cats (both Animals). Dogs have a property "woofVolume" and Cats have a property "meowVolume." While we might like to sort based upon these properties particular to subclasses of T, how can we expect this method to do that? A limitation of Comparator is that it can compare only two things of only one type (T). So, requiring simply a Comparator<T> would make this method usable. But, the creator of this method recognized that if something is a T, then it is also an instance of the superclasses of T. Therefore, he allows us to use a Comparator of T or any superclass of T, i.e. ? super T.

How can I select item with class within a DIV?

You'll do it the same way you would apply a css selector. For instanse you can do

$("#mydiv > .myclass")

or

$("#mydiv .myclass")

The last one will match every myclass inside myDiv, including myclass inside myclass.

Android 'Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application' exception

I got this exception, when I tried to open Progress Dialog under Cordova Plugin by using below two cases,

  1. new ProgressDialog(this.cordova.getActivity().getParent());

  2. new ProgressDialog(this.cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext());

Later changed like this,

new ProgressDialog(this.cordova.getActivity());

Its working fine for me.

Are there any naming convention guidelines for REST APIs?

I have a list of guidelines at http://soaprobe.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/soa-rest-service-naming-guideline.html which we have used in prod. Guidelines are always debatable... I think consistency is sometimes more important than getting things perfect (if there is such a thing).

How do I remove a single file from the staging area (undo git add)?

To unstage everything at once, run this command

git reset HEAD -- .

How do you take a git diff file, and apply it to a local branch that is a copy of the same repository?

It seems like you can also use the patch command. Put the diff in the root of the repository and run patch from the command line.

patch -i yourcoworkers.diff

or

patch -p0 -i yourcoworkers.diff

You may need to remove the leading folder structure if they created the diff without using --no-prefix.

If so, then you can remove the parts of the folder that don't apply using:

patch -p1 -i yourcoworkers.diff

The -p(n) signifies how many parts of the folder structure to remove.

More information on creating and applying patches here.

You can also use

git apply yourcoworkers.diff --stat 

to see if the diff by default will apply any changes. It may say 0 files affected if the patch is not applied correctly (different folder structure).

Sending data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask

You need a Flask view that will receive POST data and an HTML form that will send it.

from flask import request

@app.route('/addRegion', methods=['POST'])
def addRegion():
    ...
    return (request.form['projectFilePath'])
<form action="{{ url_for('addRegion') }}" method="post">
    Project file path: <input type="text" name="projectFilePath"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority '*'

Problem

I was running into the same error message while calling a third party API from my ASP.NET Core MVC project.

Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority '{base_url_of_WS}'.

Solution

It turned out that the third party API's server required TLS 1.2. To resolve this issue, I added the following line of code to my controller's constructor:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

Open CSV file via VBA (performance)

Workbooks.Open does work too.

Workbooks.Open ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Temp.csv", Local:=True

this works/is needed because i use Excel in germany and excel does use "," to separate .csv by default because i use an english installation of windows. even if you use the code below excel forces the "," separator.

Workbooks.Open ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Test.csv", , , 6, , , , , ";"

and Workbooks.Open ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Temp.csv", , , 4 +variants of this do not work(!)

why do they even have the delimiter parameter if it is blocked by the Local parameter ?! this makes no sense at all. but now it works.

Anaconda / Python: Change Anaconda Prompt User Path

Is there an equivalent to e.PageX position for 'touchstart' event as there is for click event?

Check Safari developer reference on Touch class.

According to this, pageX/Y should be available - maybe you should check spelling? make sure it's pageX and not PageX

How do I tokenize a string sentence in NLTK?

NodeJs : TypeError: require(...) is not a function

For me, I got similar error when switched between branches - one used newer ("typescriptish") version of @google-cloud/datastore packages which returns object with Datastore constructor as one of properties of exported object and I switched to other branch for a task, an older datastore version was used there, which exports Datastore constructor "directly" as module.exports value. I got the error because node_modules still had newer modules used by branch I switched from.
