Integer ASCII value to character in BASH using printf

One option is to directly input the character you're interested in using hex or octal notation:

printf "\x41\n"
printf "\101\n"

Setting a JPA timestamp column to be generated by the database?

I fixed the issue by changing the code to

@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "LastTouched", insertable = false, updatable = false)
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date lastTouched;

So the timestamp column is ignored when generating SQL inserts. Not sure if this is the best way to go about this. Feedback is welcome.

calling another method from the main method in java

You can do it multiple ways. Here are two. Cheers!

package learningjava;

public class helloworld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new helloworld().go();
        // OR
        helloworld.get();
    }

    public void go(){
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
    public static void get(){
        System.out.println("Hello World, Again");
    }
}

Javascript array sort and unique

I guess I'll post this answer for some variety. This technique for purging duplicates is something I picked up on for a project in Flash I'm currently working on about a month or so ago.

What you do is make an object and fill it with both a key and a value utilizing each array item. Since duplicate keys are discarded, duplicates are removed.

var nums = [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10];
var newNums = purgeArray(nums);

function purgeArray(ar)
{
    var obj = {};
    var temp = [];
    for(var i=0;i<ar.length;i++)
    {
        obj[ar[i]] = ar[i];
    }
    for (var item in obj)
    {
        temp.push(obj[item]);
    }
    return temp;
}

There's already 5 other answers, so I don't see a need to post a sorting function.

How to return a value from init in Python?

You can just set it to a class variable and read it from the main program:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
        #Do your stuff here
        self.returncode = 42
bar = Foo()
baz = bar.returncode

How to select all checkboxes with jQuery?

$('.checkall').change(function() {
    var checkboxes = $(this).closest('table').find('td').find(':checkbox');
    if($(this).is(':checked')) {
        checkboxes.attr('checked', 'checked');
    } else {
        checkboxes.removeAttr('checked');
    }
});

Javascript variable access in HTML

In raw javascript, you'll want to put an id on your anchor tag and do this:

<html>
<script>
var simpleText = "hello_world";
var finalSplitText = simpleText.split("_");
var splitText = finalSplitText[0];

function insertText(){
    document.getElementById('someId').InnerHTML = splitText;}
</script>

<body onload="insertText()">
<a href = test.html id="someId">I need the value of "splitText" variable here</a>
</body>
</html>

setHintTextColor() in EditText

Simply add this in your layout for the EditText :

android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"

Run task only if host does not belong to a group

You can set a control variable in vars files located in group_vars/ or directly in hosts file like this:

[vagrant:vars]
test_var=true

[location-1]
192.168.33.10 hostname=apollo

[location-2]
192.168.33.20 hostname=zeus

[vagrant:children]
location-1
location-2

And run tasks like this:

- name: "test"
  command: "echo {{test_var}}"
  when: test_var is defined and test_var

How to auto-size an iFrame?

In IE 5.5+, you can use the contentWindow property:

iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.scrollHeight;

iframe.height = iframe.contentDocument.scrollHeight

What is the best way to delete a value from an array in Perl?

You can use the non-capturing group and a pipe delim list of items to remove.


perl -le '@ar=(1 .. 20);@x=(8,10,3,17);$x=join("|",@x);@ar=grep{!/^(?:$x)$/o} @ar;print "@ar"'

How can I get a Dialog style activity window to fill the screen?

In your manifest file where our activity is defined

<activity
        android:name=".YourPopUpActivity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >
    </activity>

without action bar

<activity android:name=".YourPopUpActivity"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog.NoActionBar"/>

Can I add color to bootstrap icons only using CSS?

The accepted answer (using font awesome) is the right one. But since I just wanted the red variant to show on validation errors, I ended using an addon package, kindly offered on this site.

Just edited the url paths in css files since they are absolute (start with /) and I prefer to be relative. Like this:

.icon-red {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-red.png") !important;}
.icon-purple {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-purple.png") !important;}
.icon-blue {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-blue.png") !important;}
.icon-lightblue {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-lightblue.png") !important;}
.icon-green {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-green.png") !important;}
.icon-yellow {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-yellow.png") !important;}
.icon-orange {background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-orange.png") !important;}

jQuery: Best practice to populate drop down?

Or maybe:

Create space at the beginning of a UITextField

If you use an extension, there is no need to subclass UITextField and the new functionality will be made available to any UITextField in your app:

extension UITextField {
    func setLeftPaddingPoints(_ amount:CGFloat){
        let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: amount, height: self.frame.size.height))
        self.leftView = paddingView
        self.leftViewMode = .always
    }
    func setRightPaddingPoints(_ amount:CGFloat) {
        let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: amount, height: self.frame.size.height))
        self.rightView = paddingView
        self.rightViewMode = .always
    }
}

When I need to set the padding of a text field anywhere in my application, I simply do the following:

    textField.setLeftPaddingPoints(10)
    textField.setRightPaddingPoints(10)

Using Swift extensions, the functionality is added to the UITextField directly without subclassing.

Hope this helps!

C++: Where to initialize variables in constructor

See Should my constructors use "initialization lists" or "assignment"?

Briefly: in your specific case, it does not change anything. But:

for class/struct members with constructors, it may be more efficient to use option 1.
only option 1 allows you to initialize reference members.
only option 1 allows you to initialize const members
only option 1 allows you to initialize base classes using their constructor
only option 2 allows you to initialize array or structs that do not have a constructor.

My guess for why option 2 is more common is that option 1 is not well-known, neither are its advantages. Option 2's syntax feels more natural to the new C++ programmer.

How to set the authorization header using curl

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html

See part 6. HTTP Authentication

HTTP Authentication

HTTP Authentication is the ability to tell the server your username and password so that it can verify that you're allowed to do the request you're doing. The Basic authentication used in HTTP (which is the type curl uses by default) is plain text based, which means it sends username and password only slightly obfuscated, but still fully readable by anyone that sniffs on the network between you and the remote server.

To tell curl to use a user and password for authentication:
curl --user name:password http://www.example.com
The site might require a different authentication method (check the headers returned by the server), and then --ntlm, --digest, --negotiate or even --anyauth might be options that suit you.

Sometimes your HTTP access is only available through the use of a HTTP proxy. This seems to be especially common at various companies. A HTTP proxy may require its own user and password to allow the client to get through to the Internet. To specify those with curl, run something like:
curl --proxy-user proxyuser:proxypassword curl.haxx.se
If your proxy requires the authentication to be done using the NTLM method, use --proxy-ntlm, if it requires Digest use --proxy-digest.

If you use any one these user+password options but leave out the password part, curl will prompt for the password interactively.

Do note that when a program is run, its parameters might be possible to see when listing the running processes of the system. Thus, other users may be able to watch your passwords if you pass them as plain command line options. There are ways to circumvent this.

It is worth noting that while this is how HTTP Authentication works, very many web sites will not use this concept when they provide logins etc. See the Web Login chapter further below for more details on that.

XML Schema (XSD) validation tool?

one great visual tool to validate and generate XSD from XML is IntelliJ IDEA, intuitive and simple.

SQL Select between dates

SQLLite requires dates to be in YYYY-MM-DD format. Since the data in your database and the string in your query isn't in that format, it is probably treating your "dates" as strings.

Get top 1 row of each group

;WITH cte AS
(
   SELECT *,
         ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY DocumentID ORDER BY DateCreated DESC) AS rn
   FROM DocumentStatusLogs
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1

If you expect 2 entries per day, then this will arbitrarily pick one. To get both entries for a day, use DENSE_RANK instead

As for normalised or not, it depends if you want to:

maintain status in 2 places
preserve status history
...

As it stands, you preserve status history. If you want latest status in the parent table too (which is denormalisation) you'd need a trigger to maintain "status" in the parent. or drop this status history table.

PHP Curl UTF-8 Charset

I was fetching a windows-1252 encoded file via cURL and the mb_detect_encoding(curl_exec($ch)); returned UTF-8. Tried utf8_encode(curl_exec($ch)); and the characters were correct.

Changing the size of a column referenced by a schema-bound view in SQL Server

If anyone wants to "Increase the column width of the replicated table" in SQL Server 2008, then no need to change the property of "replicate_ddl=1". Simply follow below steps --

Open SSMS
Connect to Publisher database
run command -- ALTER TABLE [Table_Name] ALTER COLUMN [Column_Name] varchar(22)
It will increase the column width from varchar(x) to varchar(22) and same change you can see on subscriber (transaction got replicated). So no need to re-initialize the replication

Hope this will help all who are looking for it.

Javascript wait() function

Javascript isn't threaded, so a "wait" would freeze the entire page (and probably cause the browser to stop running the script entirely).

To specifically address your problem, you should remove the brackets after donothing in your setTimeout call, and make waitsecs a number not a string:

console.log('before');
setTimeout(donothing,500); // run donothing after 0.5 seconds
console.log('after');

But that won't stop execution; "after" will be logged before your function runs.

To wait properly, you can use anonymous functions:

console.log('before');
setTimeout(function(){
    console.log('after');
},500);

All your variables will still be there in the "after" section. You shouldn't chain these - if you find yourself needing to, you need to look at how you're structuring the program. Also you may want to use setInterval / clearInterval if it needs to loop.

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions not showing dialog box

For me the issue was requesting a group mistakenly instead of the actual permissions.

crop text too long inside div

<div class="crop">longlong longlong longlong longlong longlong longlong </div>?

This is one possible approach i can think of

.crop {width:100px;overflow:hidden;height:50px;line-height:50px;}?

This way the long text will still wrap but will not be visible due to overflow set, and by setting line-height same as height we are making sure only one line will ever be displayed.

See demo here and nice overflow property description with interactive examples.

"Invalid signature file" when attempting to run a .jar

If you are looking for a Fat JAR solution without unpacking or tampering with the original libraries but with a special JAR classloader, take a look at my project here.

Disclaimer: I did not write the code, just package it and publish it on Maven Central and describe in my read-me how to use it.

I personally use it for creating runnable uber JARs containing BouncyCastle dependencies. Maybe it is useful for you, too.

What's better at freeing memory with PHP: unset() or $var = null

Regarding objects, especially in lazy-load scenario, one should consider garbage collector is running in idle CPU cycles, so presuming you're going into trouble when a lot of objects are loading small time penalty will solve the memory freeing.

Use time_nanosleep to enable GC to collect memory. Setting variable to null is desirable.

Tested on production server, originally the job consumed 50MB and then was halted. After nanosleep was used 14MB was constant memory consumption.

One should say this depends on GC behaviour which may change from PHP version to version. But it works on PHP 5.3 fine.

eg. this sample (code taken form VirtueMart2 google feed)

for($n=0; $n<count($ids); $n++)
{
    //unset($product); //usefull for arrays
    $product = null
    if( $n % 50 == 0 )
    {
        // let GC do the memory job
        //echo "<mem>" . memory_get_usage() . "</mem>";//$ids[$n];
        time_nanosleep(0, 10000000);
    }

    $product = $productModel->getProductSingle((int)$ids[$n],true, true, true);
    ...

Sending private messages to user

To send a message to a user you first need a User instance representing the user you want to send the message to.

Obtaining a User instance

You can obtain a User instance from a message the user sent by doing message.autor
You can obtain a User instance from a user id with client.fetchUser

Once you got a user instance you can send the message with .send

Examples

client.on('message', (msg) => {
 if (!msg.author.bot) msg.author.send('ok ' + msg.author.id);
});

client.fetchUser('487904509670337509', false).then((user) => {
 user.send('heloo');
});

How do I split a string in Rust?

Use split()

let mut split = "some string 123 ffd".split("123");

This gives an iterator, which you can loop over, or collect() into a vector.

for s in split {
    println!("{}", s)
}
let vec = split.collect::<Vec<&str>>();
// OR
let vec: Vec<&str> = split.collect();

Improve SQL Server query performance on large tables

Even if you have indexes on some columns that are used in some queries, the fact that your 'ad-hoc' query causes a table scan shows that you don't have sufficient indexes to allow this query to complete efficiently.

For date ranges in particular it is difficult to add good indexes.

Just looking at your query, the db has to sort all the records by the selected column to be able to return the first n records.

Does the db also do a full table scan without the order by clause? Does the table have a primary key - without a PK, the db will have to work harder to perform the sort?

Rollback to last git commit

If you want to remove newly added contents and files which are already staged (so added to the index) then you use:

git reset --hard

If you want to remove also your latest commit (is the one with the message "blah") then better to use:

git reset --hard HEAD^

To remove the untracked files (so new files not yet added to the index) and folders use:

git clean --force -d

UIView bottom border?

You can add a separate UIView with 1 point height and gray background color to self.view and position it right below toScrollView.

EDIT: Unless you have a good reason (want to use some services of UIView which are not offered by CALayer), you should use CALayer as @MattDiPasquale suggests. UIView has a greater overhead, which might not be a problem in most cases, but still, the other solution is more elegant.

AngularJS toggle class using ng-class

Add more than one class based on the condition:

<div ng-click="AbrirPopUp(s)" 
ng-class="{'class1 class2 class3':!isNew, 
           'class1 class4': isNew}">{{ isNew }}</div>

Apply: class1 + class2 + class3 when isNew=false,

Apply: class1+ class4 when isNew=true

How to fit a smooth curve to my data in R?

Maybe smooth.spline is an option, You can set a smoothing parameter (typically between 0 and 1) here

smoothingSpline = smooth.spline(x, y, spar=0.35)
plot(x,y)
lines(smoothingSpline)

you can also use predict on smooth.spline objects. The function comes with base R, see ?smooth.spline for details.

C++ inheritance - inaccessible base?

You have to do this:

class Bar : public Foo
{
    // ...
}

The default inheritance type of a class in C++ is private, so any public and protected members from the base class are limited to private. struct inheritance on the other hand is public by default.

How do I reverse an int array in Java?

Capturing console output from a .NET application (C#)

I made a reactive version that accepts callbacks for stdOut and StdErr.
onStdOut and onStdErr are called asynchronously,
as soon as data arrives (before the process exits).

public static Int32 RunProcess(String path,
                               String args,
                       Action<String> onStdOut = null,
                       Action<String> onStdErr = null)
    {
        var readStdOut = onStdOut != null;
        var readStdErr = onStdErr != null;

        var process = new Process
        {
            StartInfo =
            {
                FileName = path,
                Arguments = args,
                CreateNoWindow = true,
                UseShellExecute = false,
                RedirectStandardOutput = readStdOut,
                RedirectStandardError = readStdErr,
            }
        };

        process.Start();

        if (readStdOut) Task.Run(() => ReadStream(process.StandardOutput, onStdOut));
        if (readStdErr) Task.Run(() => ReadStream(process.StandardError, onStdErr));

        process.WaitForExit();

        return process.ExitCode;
    }

    private static void ReadStream(TextReader textReader, Action<String> callback)
    {
        while (true)
        {
            var line = textReader.ReadLine();
            if (line == null)
                break;

            callback(line);
        }
    }

Example usage

The following will run executable with args and print

stdOut in white
stdErr in red

to the console.

RunProcess(
    executable,
    args,
    s => { Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White; Console.WriteLine(s); },
    s => { Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;   Console.WriteLine(s); } 
);

What is the best way to find the users home directory in Java?

The bug you reference (bug 4787391) has been fixed in Java 8. Even if you are using an older version of Java, the System.getProperty("user.home") approach is probably still the best. The user.home approach seems to work in a very large number of cases. A 100% bulletproof solution on Windows is hard, because Windows has a shifting concept of what the home directory means.

If user.home isn't good enough for you I would suggest choosing a definition of home directory for windows and using it, getting the appropriate environment variable with System.getenv(String).

Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view because it is not full-text indexed

Make sure you have full-text search feature installed.

Create full-text search catalog.

 use AdventureWorks
 create fulltext catalog FullTextCatalog as default

 select *
 from sys.fulltext_catalogs

Create full-text search index.
```
 create fulltext index on Production.ProductDescription(Description)
 key index PK_ProductDescription_ProductDescriptionID
```
Before you create the index, make sure:
- you don't already have full-text search index on the table as only one full-text search index allowed on a table
- a unique index exists on the table. The index must be based on single-key column, that does not allow NULL.
- full-text catalog exists. You have to specify full-text catalog name explicitly if there is no default full-text catalog.

You can do step 2 and 3 in SQL Sever Management Studio. In object explorer, right click on a table, select Full-Text index menu item and then Define Full-Text Index... sub-menu item. Full-Text indexing wizard will guide you through the process. It will also create a full-text search catalog for you if you don't have any yet.

Convert a string to an enum in C#

public TEnum ToEnum<TEnum>(this string value, TEnum defaultValue){
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
    return defaultValue;

return Enum.Parse(typeof(TEnum), value, true);}

Are the shift operators (<<, >>) arithmetic or logical in C?

TL;DR

Consider i and n to be the left and right operands respectively of a shift operator; the type of i, after integer promotion, be T. Assuming n to be in [0, sizeof(i) * CHAR_BIT) — undefined otherwise — we've these cases:

| Direction  |   Type   | Value (i) | Result                   |
| ---------- | -------- | --------- | ------------------------ |
| Right (>>) | unsigned |    = 0    | -8 ? (i ÷ 2n)            |
| Right      | signed   |    = 0    | -8 ? (i ÷ 2n)            |
| Right      | signed   |    < 0    | Implementation-defined†  |
| Left  (<<) | unsigned |    = 0    | (i * 2n) % (T_MAX + 1)   |
| Left       | signed   |    = 0    | (i * 2n) ‡               |
| Left       | signed   |    < 0    | Undefined                |

^{† most compilers implement this as arithmetic shift}
^{‡ undefined if value overflows the result type T; promoted type of i}

Shifting

First is the difference between logical and arithmetic shifts from a mathematical viewpoint, without worrying about data type size. Logical shifts always fills discarded bits with zeros while arithmetic shift fills it with zeros only for left shift, but for right shift it copies the MSB thereby preserving the sign of the operand (assuming a two's complement encoding for negative values).

In other words, logical shift looks at the shifted operand as just a stream of bits and move them, without bothering about the sign of the resulting value. Arithmetic shift looks at it as a (signed) number and preserves the sign as shifts are made.

A left arithmetic shift of a number X by n is equivalent to multiplying X by 2ⁿ and is thus equivalent to logical left shift; a logical shift would also give the same result since MSB anyway falls off the end and there's nothing to preserve.

A right arithmetic shift of a number X by n is equivalent to integer division of X by 2ⁿ ONLY if X is non-negative! Integer division is nothing but mathematical division and round towards 0 (trunc).

For negative numbers, represented by two's complement encoding, shifting right by n bits has the effect of mathematically dividing it by 2ⁿ and rounding towards -8 (floor); thus right shifting is different for non-negative and negative values.

for X = 0, X >> n = X / 2ⁿ = trunc(X ÷ 2ⁿ)

for X < 0, X >> n = floor(X ÷ 2ⁿ)

where ÷ is mathematical division, / is integer division. Let's look at an example:

37)₁₀ = 100101)₂

37 ÷ 2 = 18.5

37 / 2 = 18 (rounding 18.5 towards 0) = 10010)₂ [result of arithmetic right shift]

-37)₁₀ = 11011011)₂ (considering a two's complement, 8-bit representation)

-37 ÷ 2 = -18.5

-37 / 2 = -18 (rounding 18.5 towards 0) = 11101110)₂ [NOT the result of arithmetic right shift]

-37 >> 1 = -19 (rounding 18.5 towards -8) = 11101101)₂ [result of arithmetic right shift]

As Guy Steele pointed out, this discrepancy has led to bugs in more than one compiler. Here non-negative (math) can be mapped to unsigned and signed non-negative values (C); both are treated the same and right-shifting them is done by integer division.

So logical and arithmetic are equivalent in left-shifting and for non-negative values in right shifting; it's in right shifting of negative values that they differ.

Operand and Result Types

Standard C99 §6.5.7:

Each of the operands shall have integer types.

The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The type of the result is that of the promoted left operand. If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behaviour is undefined.

short E1 = 1, E2 = 3;
int R = E1 << E2;

In the above snippet, both operands become int (due to integer promotion); if E2 was negative or E2 = sizeof(int) * CHAR_BIT then the operation is undefined. This is because shifting more than the available bits is surely going to overflow. Had R been declared as short, the int result of the shift operation would be implicitly converted to short; a narrowing conversion, which may lead to implementation-defined behaviour if the value is not representable in the destination type.

Left Shift

The result of E1 << E2 is E1 left-shifted E2 bit positions; vacated bits are filled with zeros. If E1 has an unsigned type, the value of the result is E1×2^E2, reduced modulo one more than the maximum value representable in the result type. If E1 has a signed type and non-negative value, and E1×2^E2 is representable in the result type, then that is the resulting value; otherwise, the behaviour is undefined.

As left shifts are the same for both, the vacated bits are simply filled with zeros. It then states that for both unsigned and signed types it's an arithmetic shift. I'm interpreting it as arithmetic shift since logical shifts don't bother about the value represented by the bits, it just looks at it as a stream of bits; but the standard talks not in terms of bits, but by defining it in terms of the value obtained by the product of E1 with 2^E2.

The caveat here is that for signed types the value should be non-negative and the resulting value should be representable in the result type. Otherwise the operation is undefined. The result type would be the type of the E1 after applying integral promotion and not the destination (the variable which is going to hold the result) type. The resulting value is implicitly converted to the destination type; if it is not representable in that type, then the conversion is implementation-defined (C99 §6.3.1.3/3).

If E1 is a signed type with a negative value then the behaviour of left shifting is undefined. This is an easy route to undefined behaviour which may easily get overlooked.

Right Shift

The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. If E1 has an unsigned type or if E1 has a signed type and a non-negative value, the value of the result is the integral part of the quotient of E1/2^E2. If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined.

Right shift for unsigned and signed non-negative values are pretty straight forward; the vacant bits are filled with zeros. For signed negative values the result of right shifting is implementation-defined. That said, most implementations like GCC and Visual C++ implement right-shifting as arithmetic shifting by preserving the sign bit.

Conclusion

Unlike Java, which has a special operator >>> for logical shifting apart from the usual >> and <<, C and C++ have only arithmetic shifting with some areas left undefined and implementation-defined. The reason I deem them as arithmetic is due to the standard wording the operation mathematically rather than treating the shifted operand as a stream of bits; this is perhaps the reason why it leaves those areas un/implementation-defined instead of just defining all cases as logical shifts.

Eloquent Collection: Counting and Detect Empty

I agree the above approved answer. But usually I use $results->isNotEmpty() method as given below.

if($results->isNotEmpty())
{
//do something
}

It's more verbose than if(!results->isEmpty()) because sometimes we forget to add '!' in front which may result in unwanted error.

Note that this method exists from version 5.3 onwards.

Difference between thread's context class loader and normal classloader

There is an article on javaworld.com that explains the difference => Which ClassLoader should you use

(1)

Thread context classloaders provide a back door around the classloading delegation scheme.

Take JNDI for instance: its guts are implemented by bootstrap classes in rt.jar (starting with J2SE 1.3), but these core JNDI classes may load JNDI providers implemented by independent vendors and potentially deployed in the application's -classpath. This scenario calls for a parent classloader (the primordial one in this case) to load a class visible to one of its child classloaders (the system one, for example). Normal J2SE delegation does not work, and the workaround is to make the core JNDI classes use thread context loaders, thus effectively "tunneling" through the classloader hierarchy in the direction opposite to the proper delegation.

(2) from the same source:

This confusion will probably stay with Java for some time. Take any J2SE API with dynamic resource loading of any kind and try to guess which loading strategy it uses. Here is a sampling:

JNDI uses context classloaders

Class.getResource() and Class.forName() use the current classloader

JAXP uses context classloaders (as of J2SE 1.4)

java.util.ResourceBundle uses the caller's current classloader

URL protocol handlers specified via java.protocol.handler.pkgs system property are looked up in the bootstrap and system classloaders only

Java Serialization API uses the caller's current classloader by default

How to properly validate input values with React.JS?

I recently spent a week studying lot of solutions to validate my forms in an app. I started with all the most stared one but I couldn't find one who was working as I was expected. After few days, I became quite frustrated until i found a very new and amazing plugin: https://github.com/kettanaito/react-advanced-form

The developper is very responsive and his solution, after my research, merit to become the most stared one from my perspective. I hope it could help and you'll appreciate.

Div height 100% and expands to fit content

Try this:

body { 
    min-height:100%; 
    background:red; 
} 

#some_div {
    min-height:100%; 
    background:black; 
}

IE6 and earlier versions do not support the min-height property.

I think the problem is that when you tell the body to have a height of 100%, it's background can only be as tall as the hieght of one browser "viewport" (the viewing area that excludes the browsers toolbars & statusbars & menubars and the window edges). If the content is taller than one viewport, it will overflow the height devoted to the background.

This min-height property on the body should FORCE the background to be at least as tall as one viewport if your content does not fill one whole page down to the bottom, yet it should also let it grow downwards to encompass more interior content.

How to call a function within class?

That doesn't work because distToPoint is inside your class, so you need to prefix it with the classname if you want to refer to it, like this: classname.distToPoint(self, p). You shouldn't do it like that, though. A better way to do it is to refer to the method directly through the class instance (which is the first argument of a class method), like so: self.distToPoint(p).

How do I get the fragment identifier (value after hash #) from a URL?

Based on A.K's code, here is a Helper Function. JS Fiddle Here (http://jsfiddle.net/M5vsL/1/) ...

(function (helper, $) {
    // This is now a utility function to "Get the Document Hash"
    helper.getDocumentHash = function (urlString) {
        var hashValue = "";

        if (urlString.indexOf('#') != -1) {
            hashValue = urlString.substring(parseInt(urlString.indexOf('#')) + 1);
        }
        return hashValue;
    };

Delete multiple objects in django

You can delete any QuerySet you'd like. For example, to delete all blog posts with some Post model

Post.objects.all().delete()

and to delete any Post with a future publication date

Post.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=datetime.now()).delete()

You do, however, need to come up with a way to narrow down your QuerySet. If you just want a view to delete a particular object, look into the delete generic view.

EDIT:

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think the answer is somewhere between. To implement your own, combine ModelForms and generic views. Otherwise, look into 3rd party apps that provide similar functionality. In a related question, the recommendation was django-filter.

How to Set/Update State of StatefulWidget from other StatefulWidget in Flutter?

Although most of these previous answers will work, I suggest you explore the provider or BloC architectures, both of which have been recommended by Google.

In short, the latter will create a stream that reports to widgets in the widget tree whenever a change in the state happens and it updates all relevant views regardless of where it is updated from.

Here is a good overview you can read to learn more about the subject: https://bloclibrary.dev/#/

How do you put an image file in a json object?

To upload files directly to Mongo DB you can make use of Grid FS. Although I will suggest you to upload the file anywhere in file system and put the image's url in the JSON object for every entry and then when you call the data for specific object you can call for the image using URL.

Tell me which backend technology are you using? I can give more suggestions based on that.

C# Interfaces. Implicit implementation versus Explicit implementation

Reason #1

I tend to use explicit interface implementation when I want to discourage "programming to an implementation" (Design Principles from Design Patterns).

For example, in an MVP-based web application:

public interface INavigator {
    void Redirect(string url);
}

public sealed class StandardNavigator : INavigator {
    void INavigator.Redirect(string url) {
        Response.Redirect(url);
    }
}

Now another class (such as a presenter) is less likely to depend on the StandardNavigator implementation and more likely to depend on the INavigator interface (since the implementation would need to be cast to an interface to make use of the Redirect method).

Reason #2

Another reason I might go with an explicit interface implementation would be to keep a class's "default" interface cleaner. For example, if I were developing an ASP.NET server control, I might want two interfaces:

The class's primary interface, which is used by web page developers; and
A "hidden" interface used by the presenter that I develop to handle the control's logic

A simple example follows. It's a combo box control that lists customers. In this example, the web page developer isn't interested in populating the list; instead, they just want to be able to select a customer by GUID or to obtain the selected customer's GUID. A presenter would populate the box on the first page load, and this presenter is encapsulated by the control.

public sealed class CustomerComboBox : ComboBox, ICustomerComboBox {
    private readonly CustomerComboBoxPresenter presenter;

    public CustomerComboBox() {
        presenter = new CustomerComboBoxPresenter(this);
    }

    protected override void OnLoad() {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack) presenter.HandleFirstLoad();
    }

    // Primary interface used by web page developers
    public Guid ClientId {
        get { return new Guid(SelectedItem.Value); }
        set { SelectedItem.Value = value.ToString(); }
    }

    // "Hidden" interface used by presenter
    IEnumerable<CustomerDto> ICustomerComboBox.DataSource { set; }
}

The presenter populates the data source, and the web page developer never needs to be aware of its existence.

But's It's Not a Silver Cannonball

I wouldn't recommend always employing explicit interface implementations. Those are just two examples where they might be helpful.

"element.dispatchEvent is not a function" js error caught in firebug of FF3.0

are you using jquery and prototype on the same page by any chance?

If so, use jquery noConflict mode, otherwise you are overwriting prototypes $ function.

noConflict mode is activated by doing the following:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>

Note: by doing this, the dollar sign variable no longer represents the jQuery object. To keep from rewriting all your jQuery code, you can use this little trick to create a dollar sign scope for jQuery:

jQuery(function ($) {
    // The dollar sign will equal jQuery in this scope
});

// Out here, the dollar sign still equals Prototype

How to fix committing to the wrong Git branch?

So if your scenario is that you've committed to master but meant to commit to another-branch (which may or not may not already exist) but you haven't pushed yet, this is pretty easy to fix.

// if your branch doesn't exist, then add the -b argument 
git checkout -b another-branch
git branch --force master origin/master

Now all your commits to master will be on another-branch.

Alternative to iFrames with HTML5

An iframe is still the best way to download cross-domain visual content. With AJAX you can certainly download the HTML from a web page and stick it in a div (as others have mentioned) however the bigger problem is security. With iframes you'll be able to load the cross domain content but won't be able to manipulate it since the content doesn't actually belong to you. On the other hand with AJAX you can certainly manipulate any content you are able to download but the other domain's server needs to be setup in such a way that will allow you to download it to begin with. A lot of times you won't have access to the other domain's configuration and even if you do, unless you do that kind of configuration all the time, it can be a headache. In which case the iframe can be the MUCH easier alternative.

As others have mentioned you can also use the embed tag and the object tag but that's not necessarily more advanced or newer than the iframe.

HTML5 has gone more in the direction of adopting web APIs to get information from cross domains. Usually web APIs just return data though and not HTML.

VBA Count cells in column containing specified value

Not what you asked but may be useful nevertheless.

Of course you can do the same thing with matrix formulas. Just read the result of the cell that contains:

Cell A1="Text to search"
Cells A2:C20=Range to search for

=COUNT(SEARCH(A1;A2:C20;1))

Remember that entering matrix formulas needs CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. After, it should look like :

{=COUNT(SEARCH(A1;A2:C20;1))}

How to disable SSL certificate checking with Spring RestTemplate?

Disabling certificate checking is the wrong solution, and radically insecure.

The correct solution is to import the self-signed certificate into your truststore. An even more correct solution is to get the certificate signed by a CA.

If this is 'only for testing' it is still necessary to test the production configuration. Testing something else isn't a test at all, it's just a waste of time.

python catch exception and continue try block

one way you could handle this is with a generator. Instead of calling the function, yield it; then whatever is consuming the generator can send the result of calling it back into the generator, or a sentinel if the generator failed: The trampoline that accomplishes the above might look like so:

def consume_exceptions(gen):
    action = next(gen)
    while True:
        try:
            result = action()
        except Exception:
            # if the action fails, send a sentinel
            result = None

        try:
            action = gen.send(result)
        except StopIteration:
            # if the generator is all used up, result is the return value.
            return result

a generator that would be compatible with this would look like this:

def do_smth1():
    1 / 0

def do_smth2():
    print "YAY"

def do_many_things():
    a = yield do_smth1
    b = yield do_smth2
    yield "Done"

>>> consume_exceptions(do_many_things())
YAY

Note that do_many_things() does not call do_smth*, it just yields them, and consume_exceptions calls them on its behalf

Is it possible to set the stacking order of pseudo-elements below their parent element?

C++ for each, pulling from vector elements

This is how it would be done in a loop in C++(11):

   for (const auto& attack : m_attack)
    {  
        if (attack->m_num == input)
        {
            attack->makeDamage();
        }
    }

There is no for each in C++. Another option is to use std::for_each with a suitable functor (this could be anything that can be called with an Attack* as argument).

Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of START_OBJECT token

This will work:

The problem may happen when you're trying to read a list with a single element as a JsonArray rather than a JsonNode or vice versa.

Since you can't know for sure if the returned list contains a single element (so the json looks like this {...}) or multiple elements (and the json looks like this [{...},{...}]) - you'll have to check in runtime the type of the element.

It should look like this:

(Note: in this code sample I'm using com.fasterxml.jackson)

String jsonStr = response.readEntity(String.class);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode rootNode = mapper.readTree(jsonStr);

// Start by checking if this is a list -> the order is important here:                      
if (rootNode instanceof ArrayNode) {
    // Read the json as a list:
    myObjClass[] objects = mapper.readValue(rootNode.toString(), myObjClass[].class);
    ...
} else if (rootNode instanceof JsonNode) {
    // Read the json as a single object:
    myObjClass object = mapper.readValue(rootNode.toString(), myObjClass.class);
    ...
} else {
    ...
}

How to get the current URL within a Django template?

Formatting text in a TextBlock

You need to use Inlines:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" Text="This is WPF TextBlock Example. " />
    <Run FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Red" Text="This is red text. " />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

With binding:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" Text="{Binding BoldText}" />
    <Run FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Red" Text="{Binding ItalicText}" />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

You can also bind the other properties:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="{Binding Weight}"
         FontSize="{Binding Size}"
         Text="{Binding LineOne}" />
    <Run FontStyle="{Binding Style}"
         Foreground="Binding Colour}"
         Text="{Binding LineTwo}" />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

You can bind through converters if you have bold as a boolean (say).

Compute a confidence interval from sample data

Starting Python 3.8, the standard library provides the NormalDist object as part of the statistics module:

from statistics import NormalDist

def confidence_interval(data, confidence=0.95):
  dist = NormalDist.from_samples(data)
  z = NormalDist().inv_cdf((1 + confidence) / 2.)
  h = dist.stdev * z / ((len(data) - 1) ** .5)
  return dist.mean - h, dist.mean + h

This:

Creates a NormalDist object from the data sample (NormalDist.from_samples(data), which gives us access to the sample's mean and standard deviation via NormalDist.mean and NormalDist.stdev.
Compute the Z-score based on the standard normal distribution (represented by NormalDist()) for the given confidence using the inverse of the cumulative distribution function (inv_cdf).
Produces the confidence interval based on the sample's standard deviation and mean.

This assumes the sample size is big enough (let's say more than ~100 points) in order to use the standard normal distribution rather than the student's t distribution to compute the z value.

Java: Best way to iterate through a Collection (here ArrayList)

Here is an example

Query query = em.createQuery("from Student");
             java.util.List list = query.getResultList();
             for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)

                 student = (Student) list.get(i);
                 System.out.println(student.id  + "  " + student.age + " " + student.name + " " + student.prenom);

How to remove all debug logging calls before building the release version of an Android app?

I highly suggest using Timber from Jake Wharton

https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber

it solves your issue with enabling/disabling plus adds tag class automagically

just

public class MyApp extends Application {

  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    //Timber
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
      Timber.plant(new DebugTree());
    }
    ...

logs will only be used in your debug ver, and then use

Timber.d("lol");

Timber.i("lol says %s","lol");

to print

"Your class / msg" without specyfing the tag

Dynamically Add Images React Webpack

So you have to add an import statement on your parent component:

class ParentClass extends Component {
  render() {
    const img = require('../images/img.png');
    return (
      <div>
        <ChildClass
          img={img}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

and in the child class:

class ChildClass extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
          <img
            src={this.props.img}
          />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Python 2.7 getting user input and manipulating as string without quotations

Use raw_input() instead of input():

testVar = raw_input("Ask user for something.")

input() actually evaluates the input as Python code. I suggest to never use it. raw_input() returns the verbatim string entered by the user.

Passing parameters to JavaScript files

Nice question and creative answers but my suggetion is to make your methods paramterized and that should solve all your problems without any tricks.

if you have function:

function A()
{
    var val = external_value_from_query_string_or_global_param;
}

you can change this to:

function B(function_param)
{
    var val = function_param;
}

I think this is most natural approach, you don't need to crate extra documentation about 'file parameters' and you receive the same. This specially useful if you allow other developers to use your js file.

To get specific part of a string in c#

To avoid getting expections at run time , do something like this.

There are chances of having empty string sometimes,

string a = "abc,xyz,wer";
string b=string.Empty;

if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(a ))
{
  b = a.Split(',')[0];
}

Biggest differences of Thrift vs Protocol Buffers?

There are some excellent points here and I'm going to add another one in case someones' path crosses here.

Thrift gives you an option to choose between thrift-binary and thrift-compact (de)serializer, thrift-binary will have an excellent performance but bigger packet size, while thrift-compact will give you good compression but needs more processing power. This is handy because you can always switch between these two modes as easily as changing a line of code (heck, even make it configurable). So if you are not sure how much your application should be optimized for packet size or in processing power, thrift can be an interesting choice.

PS: See this excellent benchmark project by thekvs which compares many serializers including thrift-binary, thrift-compact, and protobuf: https://github.com/thekvs/cpp-serializers

PS: There is another serializer named YAS which gives this option too but it is schema-less see the link above.

How do I detect when someone shakes an iPhone?

Easiest solution is to derive a new root window for your application:

@implementation OMGWindow : UIWindow

- (void)motionEnded:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    if (event.type == UIEventTypeMotion && motion == UIEventSubtypeMotionShake) {
        // via notification or something   
    }
}
@end

Then in your application delegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    self.window = [[OMGWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
    //…
}

If you are using a Storyboard, this may be trickier, I don’t know the code you will need in the application delegate precisely.

What function is to replace a substring from a string in C?

This is not provided in the standard C library because, given only a char* you can't increase the memory allocated to the string if the replacement string is longer than the string being replaced.

You can do this using std::string more easily, but even there, no single function will do it for you.

Page scroll when soft keyboard popped up

For me the only thing that works is put in the activity in the manifest this atribute:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

To not show the keyboard when opening the activity and don't overlap the bottom of the view.

How to embed a YouTube channel into a webpage

In order to embed your channel, all you need to do is copy then paste the following code in another web-page.

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Make sure to replace the YourChannelName with your actual channel name.

For example: if your channel name were CaliChick94066 your channel embed code would be:

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=CaliChick94066&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Please look at the following links:

Embed YouTube Channel

You just have to name the URL to your channel name. Also you can play with the height and the border color and size. Hope it helps

How to read a text file?

It depends on what you are trying to do.

file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
fmt.print(file)

The reason it outputs &{0xc082016240}, is because you are printing the pointer value of a file-descriptor (*os.File), not file-content. To obtain file-content, you may READ from a file-descriptor.

To read all file content(in bytes) to memory, ioutil.ReadAll

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "os"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer func() {
        if err = f.Close(); err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
    }()


  b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(file)
  fmt.Print(b)
}

But sometimes, if the file size is big, it might be more memory-efficient to just read in chunks: buffer-size, hence you could use the implementation of io.Reader.Read from *os.File

func main() {
    file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer func() {
        if err = f.Close(); err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
    }()


    buf := make([]byte, 32*1024) // define your buffer size here.

    for {
        n, err := file.Read(buf)

        if n > 0 {
            fmt.Print(buf[:n]) // your read buffer.
        }

        if err == io.EOF {
            break
        }
        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("read %d bytes: %v", n, err)
            break
        }
    }

}

Otherwise, you could also use the standard util package: bufio, try Scanner. A Scanner reads your file in tokens: separator.

By default, scanner advances the token by newline (of course you can customise how scanner should tokenise your file, learn from here the bufio test).

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "log"
    "bufio"
)

func main() {
    file, err := os.Open("file.txt")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer func() {
        if err = f.Close(); err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
    }()

    scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)

    for scanner.Scan() {             // internally, it advances token based on sperator
        fmt.Println(scanner.Text())  // token in unicode-char
        fmt.Println(scanner.Bytes()) // token in bytes

    }
}

Lastly, I would also like to reference you to this awesome site: go-lang file cheatsheet. It encompassed pretty much everything related to working with files in go-lang, hope you'll find it useful.

Call a PHP function after onClick HTML event

There are two ways. the first is to completely refresh the page using typical form submission

//your_page.php

<?php 

$saveSuccess = null;
$saveMessage = null;

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
  // if form has been posted process data

  // you dont need the addContact function you jsut need to put it in a new array
  // and it doesnt make sense in this context so jsut do it here
  // then used json_decode and json_decode to read/save your json in
  // saveContact()
  $data = array(
    'fullname' = $_POST['fullname'],
    'email' => $_POST['email'],
    'phone' => $_POST['phone']
  );

  // always return true if you save the contact data ok or false if it fails
  if(($saveSuccess = saveContact($data)) {
     $saveMessage = 'Your submission has been saved!';     
  } else {
     $saveMessage = 'There was a problem saving your submission.';
  } 
}
?>

<!-- your other html -->

<?php if($saveSuccess !== null): ?>
   <p class="flash_message"><?php echo $saveMessage ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<form action="your_page.php" method="post">
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Add New Contact</legend>
        <input type="text" name="fullname" placeholder="First name and last name" required /> <br />
        <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required /> <br />
        <input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Personal phone number: mobile, home phone etc." required /> <br />
        <input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" value="Add Contact" onClick="" />
        <input type="button" name="cancel" class="button" value="Reset" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

<!-- the rest of your HTML -->

The second way would be to use AJAX. to do that youll want to completely seprate the form processing into a separate file:

// process.php

$response = array();

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
  // if form has been posted process data

  // you dont need the addContact function you jsut need to put it in a new array
  // and it doesnt make sense in this context so jsut do it here
  // then used json_decode and json_decode to read/save your json in
  // saveContact()
  $data = array(
    'fullname' => $_POST['fullname'],
    'email' => $_POST['email'],
    'phone' => $_POST['phone']
  );

  // always return true if you save the contact data ok or false if it fails
  $response['status'] = saveContact($data) ? 'success' : 'error';
  $response['message'] = $response['status']
      ? 'Your submission has been saved!'
      : 'There was a problem saving your submission.';

  header('Content-type: application/json');
  echo json_encode($response);
  exit;
}
?>

And then in your html/js

<form id="add_contact" action="process.php" method="post">
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Add New Contact</legend>
            <input type="text" name="fullname" placeholder="First name and last name" required /> <br />
            <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required /> <br />
            <input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Personal phone number: mobile, home phone etc." required /> <br />
            <input id="add_contact_submit" type="submit" name="submit" class="button" value="Add Contact" onClick="" />
            <input type="button" name="cancel" class="button" value="Reset" />
        </fieldset>
    </form>
    <script type="text/javascript">
     $(function(){
         $('#add_contact_submit').click(function(e){
            e.preventDefault();  
            $form = $(this).closest('form');

            // if you need to then wrap this ajax call in conditional logic

            $.ajax({
              url: $form.attr('action'),
              type: $form.attr('method'),
              dataType: 'json',
              success: function(responseJson) {
                 $form.before("<p>"+responseJson.message+"</p>");
              },
              error: function() {
                 $form.before("<p>There was an error processing your request.</p>");
              }
            });
         });         
     });
    </script>

Android check null or empty string in Android

You can check it with utility method "isEmpty" from TextUtils,

isEmpty(CharSequence str) method check both condition, for null and length.

public static boolean isEmpty(CharSequence str) {
     if (str == null || str.length() == 0)
        return true;
     else
        return false;
}

Android soft keyboard covers EditText field

I had the same issue and searching the people said to add adjustPan, while in my case adjustResize worked.

/>

ssh : Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic)

Tried a lot of things, it did not help.

It get access in a simple way:

eval $(ssh-agent) > /dev/null
killall ssh-agent
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Note that at the end of the ssh-add -L output must be not a path to the key, but your email.

Why can't I enter a string in Scanner(System.in), when calling nextLine()-method?

if you don't want to use parser :

int a;
String s;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("enter a no");
a = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println("no is =" + a);
scan.nextLine(); // This line you have to add (It consumes the \n character)
System.out.println("enter a string");
s = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("string is=" + s);

Find row number of matching value

For your first method change ws.Range("A") to ws.Range("A:A") which will search the entirety of column a, like so:

Sub Find_Bingo()

        Dim wb As Workbook
        Dim ws As Worksheet
        Dim FoundCell As Range
        Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
        Set ws = ActiveSheet

            Const WHAT_TO_FIND As String = "Bingo"

            Set FoundCell = ws.Range("A:A").Find(What:=WHAT_TO_FIND)
            If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
                MsgBox (WHAT_TO_FIND & " found in row: " & FoundCell.Row)
            Else
                MsgBox (WHAT_TO_FIND & " not found")
            End If
End Sub

For your second method, you are using Bingo as a variable instead of a string literal. This is a good example of why I add Option Explicit to the top of all of my code modules, as when you try to run the code it will direct you to this "variable" which is undefined and not intended to be a variable at all.

Additionally, when you are using With...End With you need a period . before you reference Cells, so Cells should be .Cells. This mimics the normal qualifying behavior (i.e. Sheet1.Cells.Find..)

Change Bingo to "Bingo" and change Cells to .Cells

With Sheet1
        Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(What:="Bingo", After:=.Cells(1, 1), _
        LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
        SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    End With

If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ("""Bingo"" found in row " & FoundCell.Row)
Else
        MsgBox ("Bingo not found")
End If

Update

In my

With Sheet1
    .....
End With

The Sheet1 refers to a worksheet's code name, not the name of the worksheet itself. For example, say I open a new blank Excel workbook. The default worksheet is just Sheet1. I can refer to that in code either with the code name of Sheet1 or I can refer to it with the index of Sheets("Sheet1"). The advantage to using a codename is that it does not change if you change the name of the worksheet.

Continuing this example, let's say I renamed Sheet1 to Data. Using Sheet1 would continue to work, as the code name doesn't change, but now using Sheets("Sheet1") would return an error and that syntax must be updated to the new name of the sheet, so it would need to be Sheets("Data").

In the VB Editor you would see something like this:

Notice how, even though I changed the name to Data, there is still a Sheet1 to the left. That is what I mean by codename.

The Data worksheet can be referenced in two ways:

Debug.Print Sheet1.Name
Debug.Print Sheets("Data").Name

Both should return Data

More discussion on worksheet code names can be found here.

NUnit Unit tests not showing in Test Explorer with Test Adapter installed

My test assembly is 64-bit. From the menu bar at the top of visual studio 2012, I was able to select 'Test' -> 'Test Settings' -> 'Default Processor Architecture' -> 'X64'. After a 'Rebuild Solution' from the 'Build' menu, I was able to see all of my tests in test explorer. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future =D.

Clear the form field after successful submission of php form

They remain in the fields because you are explicitly telling PHP to fill the form with the submitted data.

<input name="firstname" type="text" placeholder="First Name" required="required" 
value="<?php echo $_POST['firstname'];?>">
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HERE

Just remove this, or if you want a condition to not do so make a if statement to that echo or just cleanup the $_POST fields.

$_POST = array(); // lets pretend nothing was posted

Or, if successful, redirect the user to another page:

header("Location: success.html");
exit; // Location header is set, pointless to send HTML, stop the script

Which by the way is the prefered method. If you keep the user in a page that was reached through a POST method, if he refreshes the page the form will be submitted again.

relative path to CSS file

Background

Absolute: The browser will always interpret / as the root of the hostname. For example, if my site was http://google.com/ and I specified /css/images.css then it would search for that at http://google.com/css/images.css. If your project root was actually at /myproject/ it would not find the css file. Therefore, you need to determine where your project folder root is relative to the hostname, and specify that in your href notation.

Relative: If you want to reference something you know is in the same path on the url - that is, if it is in the same folder, for example http://mysite.com/myUrlPath/index.html and http://mysite.com/myUrlPath/css/style.css, and you know that it will always be this way, you can go against convention and specify a relative path by not putting a leading / in front of your path, for example, css/style.css.

Filesystem Notations: Additionally, you can use standard filesystem notations like ... If you do http://google.com/images/../images/../images/myImage.png it would be the same as http://google.com/images/myImage.png. If you want to reference something that is one directory up from your file, use ../myFile.css.

Your Specific Case

In your case, you have two options:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ServletApp/css/styles.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css"/>

The first will be more concrete and compatible if you move things around, however if you are planning to keep the file in the same location, and you are planning to remove the /ServletApp/ part of the URL, then the second solution is better.

PowerShell script to check the status of a URL

I recently set up a script that does this.

As David Brabant pointed out, you can use the System.Net.WebRequest class to do an HTTP request.

To check whether it is operational, you should use the following example code:

# First we create the request.

MSBuild doesn't copy references (DLL files) if using project dependencies in solution

I just deal with it like this. Go to the properties of your reference and do this:

Set "Copy local = false"
Save
Set "Copy local = true"
Save

and that's it.

Visual Studio 2010 doesn't initially put: <private>True</private> in the reference tag and setting "copy local" to false causes it to create the tag. Afterwards it will set it to true and false accordingly.

Simple check for SELECT query empty result

You can do it in a number of ways.

IF EXISTS(select * from ....)
begin
 -- select * from .... 
end
else
 -- do something

Or you can use IF NOT EXISTS , @@ROW_COUNT like

select * from ....
IF(@@ROW_COUNT>0)
begin
-- do something
end

What are the file limits in Git (number and size)?

If you add files that are too large (GBs in my case, Cygwin, XP, 3 GB RAM), expect this.

fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed

Update 3/2/11: Saw similar in Windows 7 x64 with Tortoise Git. Tons of memory used, very very slow system response.

How to import a jar in Eclipse

Here are the steps:

click File > Import. The Import window opens.
Under Select an import source, click J2EE > App Client JAR file.
Click Next.
In the Application Client file field, enter the location and name of the application client JAR file that you want to import. You can click the Browse button to select the JAR file from the file system.
In the Application Client project field, type a new project name or select an application client project from the drop-down list. If you type a new name in this field, the application client project will be created based on the version of the application client JAR file, and it will use the default location.
In the Target runtime drop-down list, select the application server that you want to target for your development. This selection affects the run time settings by modifying the class path entries for the project.
If you want to add the new module to an enterprise application project, select the Add project to an EAR check box and then select an existing enterprise application project from the list or create a new one by clicking New.

Note: If you type a new enterprise application project name, the enterprise application project will be created in the default location with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
Click Finish to import the application client JAR file.

How to make a movie out of images in python

Changing the width of Bootstrap popover

container: 'body' normally does the trick (see JustAnil's answer above), but there's a problem if your popover is in a modal. The z-index places it behind the modal when the popover's attached to body. This seems to be related to BS2 issue 5014, but I'm getting it on 3.1.1. You're not meant to use a container of body, but if you fix the code to

   $('#fubar').popover({
   trigger : 'hover',
   html    : true,
   dataContainer : '.modal-body',
   ...etc });

then you fix the z-index problem, but the popover width is still wrong.

The only fix I can find is to use container: 'body' and to add some extra css:

.popover { 
  max-width : 400px;
  z-index   : 1060;
}

Note that css solutions by themselves won't work.

how we add or remove readonly attribute from textbox on clicking radion button in cakephp using jquery?

You could use prop as well. Check the following code below.

$(document).ready(function(){

   $('.staff_on_site').click(function(){

     var rBtnVal = $(this).val();

     if(rBtnVal == "yes"){
         $("#no_of_staff").prop("readonly", false); 
     }
     else{ 
         $("#no_of_staff").prop("readonly", true); 
     }
   });
});

Error in <my code> : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

In general this error message means that you have tried to use indexing on a function. You can reproduce this error message with, for example

mean[1]
## Error in mean[1] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
mean[[1]]
## Error in mean[[1]] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
mean$a
## Error in mean$a : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

The closure mentioned in the error message is (loosely) the function and the environment that stores the variables when the function is called.

In this specific case, as Joshua mentioned, you are trying to access the url function as a variable. If you define a variable named url, then the error goes away.

As a matter of good practise, you should usually avoid naming variables after base-R functions. (Calling variables data is a common source of this error.)

There are several related errors for trying to subset operators or keywords.

`+`[1]
## Error in `+`[1] : object of type 'builtin' is not subsettable
`if`[1]
## Error in `if`[1] : object of type 'special' is not subsettable

If you're running into this problem in shiny, the most likely cause is that you're trying to work with a reactive expression without calling it as a function using parentheses.

library(shiny)
reactive_df <- reactive({
    data.frame(col1 = c(1,2,3),
               col2 = c(4,5,6))
})

While we often work with reactive expressions in shiny as if they were data frames, they are actually functions that return data frames (or other objects).

isolate({
    print(reactive_df())
    print(reactive_df()$col1)
})
  col1 col2
1    1    4
2    2    5
3    3    6
[1] 1 2 3

But if we try to subset it without parentheses, then we're actually trying to index a function, and we get an error:

isolate(
    reactive_df$col1
)
Error in reactive_df$col1 : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

Error - Unable to access the IIS metabase

Go to the root directory of your project and find the following file:

YourProjectName.csproj.user - inside it, make sure UseIISExpress is set to false:

<UseIISExpress>false</UseIISExpress>

If that alone doesn't work try the following as well and try again:

YourProjectName.csproj - inside the main project file, make sure both UseIIS and UseIISExpress are set to false:

<UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
<UseIISExpress>false</UseIISExpress>

After changing these I was able to load the project again.

Note: Make sure you run your VS as an Administrator, as mentioned in the other answers.

Closing a file after File.Create

The reason is because a FileStream is returned from your method to create a file. You should return the FileStream into a variable or call the close method directly from it after the File.Create.

It is a best practice to let the using block help you implement the IDispose pattern for a task like this. Perhaps what might work better would be:

if(!File.Exists(myPath)){
   using(FileStream fs = File.Create(myPath))
   using(StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs)){
      // do your work here
   }
}

Pretty Printing a pandas dataframe

I've just found a great tool for that need, it is called tabulate.

It prints tabular data and works with DataFrame.

from tabulate import tabulate
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'col_two' : [0.0001, 1e-005 , 1e-006, 1e-007],
                   'column_3' : ['ABCD', 'ABCD', 'long string', 'ABCD']})
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql'))

+----+-----------+-------------+
|    |   col_two | column_3    |
|----+-----------+-------------|
|  0 |    0.0001 | ABCD        |
|  1 |    1e-05  | ABCD        |
|  2 |    1e-06  | long string |
|  3 |    1e-07  | ABCD        |
+----+-----------+-------------+

Note:

To suppress row indices for all types of data, pass showindex="never" or showindex=False.

Best way to check for "empty or null value"

In ran into a kind of similar case, were I had to do this . My Table definition look like :

id(bigint)|name (character varying)|results(character varying)
1 | "Peters"| [{"jk1":"jv1"},{"jk1":"jv2"}]
2 | "Russel"| null

To filter out the results column with null or empty in it , what worked was :

SELECT * FROM tablename where results NOT IN  ('null','{}');

This returned all rows which are not null on results.

I'm not sure how to fix this query to return the same all rows which are not null on results.

SELECT * FROM tablename where results is not null;

--- hmm what am I missing,casting ? any inputs?

Assigning default values to shell variables with a single command in bash

Very close to what you posted, actually.

To get the assigned value, or default if it's missing:

FOO="${VARIABLE:-default}"  # If variable not set or null, use default.

Or to assign default to VARIABLE at the same time:

FOO="${VARIABLE:=default}"  # If variable not set or null, set it to default.

Trigger change event of dropdown

Try this:

$(document).ready(function(event) {
    $('#countrylist').change(function(e){

     }).change();
});

Define the change event, and trigger it immediately. This ensures the event handler is defined before calling it.

Converting Object to JSON and JSON to Object in PHP, (library like Gson for Java)

This should do the trick!

// convert object => json
$json = json_encode($myObject);

// convert json => object
$obj = json_decode($json);

Here's an example

$foo = new StdClass();
$foo->hello = "world";
$foo->bar = "baz";

$json = json_encode($foo);
echo $json;
//=> {"hello":"world","bar":"baz"}

print_r(json_decode($json));
// stdClass Object
// (
//   [hello] => world
//   [bar] => baz
// )

If you want the output as an Array instead of an Object, pass true to json_decode

print_r(json_decode($json, true));
// Array
// (
//   [hello] => world
//   [bar] => baz
// )

How do I crop an image in Java?

      return dest; 
   }

Convert multidimensional array into single array

none of answers helped me, in case when I had several levels of nested arrays. the solution is almost same as @AlienWebguy already did, but with tiny difference.

function nestedToSingle(array $array)
{
    $singleDimArray = [];

    foreach ($array as $item) {

        if (is_array($item)) {
            $singleDimArray = array_merge($singleDimArray, nestedToSingle($item));

        } else {
            $singleDimArray[] = $item;
        }
    }

    return $singleDimArray;
}

test example

$array = [
        'first',
        'second',
        [
            'third',
            'fourth',
        ],
        'fifth',
        [
            'sixth',
            [
                'seventh',
                'eighth',
                [
                    'ninth',
                    [
                        [
                            'tenth'
                        ]
                    ]
                ],
                'eleventh'
            ]
        ],
        'twelfth'
    ];

    $array = nestedToSingle($array);
    print_r($array);

    //output

              final Integer time2 = (int)Integer.valueOf((int) Double.parseDouble(entry2[2]));
              return time1.compareTo(time2);
         }

Git Clone: Just the files, please?

The git command that would be the closest from what you are looking for would by git archive.
See backing up project which uses git: it will include in an archive all files (including submodules if you are using the git-archive-all script)

You can then use that archive anywhere, giving you back only files, no .git directory.

git archive --remote=<repository URL> | tar -t

If you need folders and files just from the first level:

git archive --remote=<repository URL> | tar -t --exclude="*/*"

To list only first-level folders of a remote repo:

git archive --remote=<repository URL> | tar -t --exclude="*/*" | grep "/"

Note: that does not work for GitHub (not supported)

So you would need to clone (shallow to quicken the clone step), and then archive locally:

git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:xxx/yyy.git
cd yyy
git archive --format=tar aTag -o aTag.tar

Another option would be to do a shallow clone (as mentioned below), but locating the .git folder elsewhere.

git --git-dir=/path/to/another/folder.git clone --depth=1 /url/to/repo

The repo folder would include only the file, without .git.

Note: git --git-dir is an option of the command git, not git clone.

Update with Git 2.14.X/2.15 (Q4 2017): it will make sure to avoid adding empty folders.

"git archive", especially when used with pathspec, stored an empty directory in its output, even though Git itself never does so.
This has been fixed.

See commit 4318094 (12 Sep 2017) by René Scharfe (``).
Suggested-by: Jeff King (peff).
^{(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 62b1cb7, 25 Sep 2017)}

archive: don't add empty directories to archives

While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked into putting some into archives.
While that is supported by the object database, it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in the wild.

As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be written into archives.
If an empty directory is really needed then it can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it.

Changing navigation bar color in Swift

Swift 4, iOS 12 and Xcode 10 Update

Just put one line inside viewDidLoad()

Is there a C# case insensitive equals operator?

The best way to compare 2 strings ignoring the case of the letters is to use the String.Equals static method specifying an ordinal ignore case string comparison. This is also the fastest way, much faster than converting the strings to lower or upper case and comparing them after that.

I tested the performance of both approaches and the ordinal ignore case string comparison was more than 9 times faster! It is also more reliable than converting strings to lower or upper case (check out the Turkish i problem). So always use the String.Equals method to compare strings for equality:

String.Equals(string1, string2, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

If you want to perform a culture specific string comparison you can use the following code:

String.Equals(string1, string2, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

Please note that the second example uses the the string comparison logic of the current culture, which makes it slower than the "ordinal ignore case" comparison in the first example, so if you don't need any culture specific string comparison logic and you are after maximum performance, use the "ordinal ignore case" comparison.

Resize Google Maps marker icon image

MarkerImage has been deprecated for Icon

Until version 3.10 of the Google Maps JavaScript API, complex icons were defined as MarkerImage objects. The Icon object literal was added in 3.10, and replaces MarkerImage from version 3.11 onwards. Icon object literals support the same parameters as MarkerImage, allowing you to easily convert a MarkerImage to an Icon by removing the constructor, wrapping the previous parameters in {}'s, and adding the names of each parameter.

Phillippe's code would now be:

 var icon = {
     url: "../res/sit_marron.png", // url
     scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(width, height), // size
     origin: new google.maps.Point(0,0), // origin
     anchor: new google.maps.Point(anchor_left, anchor_top) // anchor 
 };

 position = new google.maps.LatLng(latitud,longitud)
 marker = new google.maps.Marker({
  position: position,
  map: map,
  icon: icon
 });

Is it possible to read the value of a annotation in java?

You can also use generic types, in my case, taking into account everything said before you can do something like:

public class SomeTypeManager<T> {

    public SomeTypeManager(T someGeneric) {

        //That's how you can achieve all previously said, with generic types.
        Annotation[] an = someGeneric.getClass().getAnnotations();

    }

}

Remember, that this will not equival at 100% to SomeClass.class.get(...)();

But can do the trick...

When do we need curly braces around shell variables?

The end of the variable name is usually signified by a space or newline. But what if we don't want a space or newline after printing the variable value? The curly braces tell the shell interpreter where the end of the variable name is.

Classic Example 1) - shell variable without trailing whitespace

TIME=10

# WRONG: no such variable called 'TIMEsecs'
echo "Time taken = $TIMEsecs"

# What we want is $TIME followed by "secs" with no whitespace between the two.
echo "Time taken = ${TIME}secs"

Example 2) Java classpath with versioned jars

# WRONG - no such variable LATESTVERSION_src
CLASSPATH=hibernate-$LATESTVERSION_src.zip:hibernate_$LATEST_VERSION.jar

# RIGHT
CLASSPATH=hibernate-${LATESTVERSION}_src.zip:hibernate_$LATEST_VERSION.jar

(Fred's answer already states this but his example is a bit too abstract)

How add unique key to existing table (with non uniques rows)

The proper syntax would be - ALTER TABLE Table_Name ADD UNIQUE (column_name)

Example

ALTER TABLE  0_value_addition_setup ADD UNIQUE (`value_code`)

TypeScript is a superset of Javascript, it can use existing Javascript libraries and web APIs

Accessing Objects in JSON Array (JavaScript)

Use a loop

for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; ++i){
   //do something with obj[i]
   for(var ind in obj[i]) {
        console.log(ind);
        for(var vals in obj[i][ind]){

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

Consider two class-typed variables:

class Boo { ... };

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

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

Create tap-able "links" in the NSAttributedString of a UILabel?

Here’s a Swift implementation that is about as minimal as possible that also includes touch feedback. Caveats:

You must set fonts in your NSAttributedStrings
You can only use NSAttributedStrings!
You must ensure your links cannot wrap (use non breaking spaces: "\u{a0}")
You cannot change the lineBreakMode or numberOfLines after setting the text
You create links by adding attributes with .link keys

public class LinkLabel: UILabel {
    private var storage: NSTextStorage?
    private let textContainer = NSTextContainer()
    private let layoutManager = NSLayoutManager()
    private var selectedBackgroundView = UIView()

Chrome doesn't delete session cookies

I just had the same problem with a cookie which was set to expire on "Browsing session end".

Unfortunately it did not so I played a bit with the settings of the browser.

Turned out that the feature that remembers the opened tabs when the browser is closed was the root of the problem. (The feature is named "On startup" - "Continue where I left off". At least on the current version of Chrome).

This also happens with Opera and Firefox.

How to cherry-pick multiple commits

Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp?

Unless you have some really compelling reason not to, I suggest ditching the MS JDBC driver.

Instead, use the jtds jdbc driver. Read the README.SSO file in the jtds distribution on how to configure for single-sign-on (native authentication) and where to put the native DLL to ensure it can be loaded by the JVM.

How to count the number of occurrences of an element in a List

List<String> lst = new ArrayList<String>();

lst.add("Ram");
lst.add("Ram");
lst.add("Shiv");
lst.add("Boss");

Map<String, Integer> mp = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

for (String string : lst) {

    if(mp.keySet().contains(string))
    {
        mp.put(string, mp.get(string)+1);

    }else
    {
        mp.put(string, 1);
    }
}

System.out.println("=mp="+mp);

Output:

=mp= {Ram=2, Boss=1, Shiv=1}

How to use LocalBroadcastManager?

I'll answer this anyway. Just in case someone needs it.

ReceiverActivity.java

An activity that watches for notifications for the event named "custom-event-name".

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  ...

  // Register to receive messages.
  // We are registering an observer (mMessageReceiver) to receive Intents
  // with actions named "custom-event-name".
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mMessageReceiver,
      new IntentFilter("custom-event-name"));
}

// Our handler for received Intents. This will be called whenever an Intent
// with an action named "custom-event-name" is broadcasted.
private BroadcastReceiver mMessageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // Get extra data included in the Intent
    String message = intent.getStringExtra("message");
    Log.d("receiver", "Got message: " + message);
  }
};

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
  // Unregister since the activity is about to be closed.
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(mMessageReceiver);
  super.onDestroy();
}

SenderActivity.java

The second activity that sends/broadcasts notifications.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  ...

  // Every time a button is clicked, we want to broadcast a notification.
  findViewById(R.id.button_send).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
      sendMessage();
    }
  });
}

// Send an Intent with an action named "custom-event-name". The Intent sent should 
// be received by the ReceiverActivity.
private void sendMessage() {
  Log.d("sender", "Broadcasting message");
  Intent intent = new Intent("custom-event-name");
  // You can also include some extra data.
  intent.putExtra("message", "This is my message!");
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
}

With the code above, every time the button R.id.button_send is clicked, an Intent is broadcasted and is received by mMessageReceiver in ReceiverActivity.

The debug output should look like this:

01-16 10:35:42.413: D/sender(356): Broadcasting message
01-16 10:35:42.421: D/receiver(356): Got message: This is my message!

git - pulling from specific branch

Here are the steps to pull a specific or any branch,

1.clone the master(you need to provide username and password)

       git clone <url>

2. the above command will clone the repository and you will be master branch now

       git checkout <branch which is present in the remote repository(origin)>

3. The above command will checkout to the branch you want to pull and will be set to automatically track that branch

4.If for some reason it does not work like that, after checking out to that branch in your local system, just run the below command

       git pull origin <branch>

Swift - How to hide back button in navigation item?

Here is a version of the answer in

Swift 5

that you can use it from the storyboard:

// MARK: - Hiding Back Button

extension UINavigationItem {

    /// A Boolean value that determines whether the back button is hidden.
    ///
    /// When set to `true`, the back button is hidden when this navigation item
    /// is the top item. This is true regardless of the value in the
    /// `leftItemsSupplementBackButton` property. When set to `false`, the back button
    /// is shown if it is still present. (It can be replaced by values in either
    /// the `leftBarButtonItem` or `leftBarButtonItems` properties.) The default value is `false`.
    @IBInspectable var hideBackButton: Bool {
        get { hidesBackButton }
        set { hidesBackButton = newValue }
    }
}

Every navigation item of a view controller will have this new property in the top section of attributes inspector

Check time difference in Javascript

Improvise. Subtract JavaScript Date objects to get their difference:

// use a constant date (e.g. 2000-01-01) and the desired time to initialize two dates

var date1 = new Date(2000, 0, 1,  9, 0); // 9:00 AM
var date2 = new Date(2000, 0, 1, 17, 0); // 5:00 PM

// the following is to handle cases where the times are on the opposite side of
// midnight e.g. when you want to get the difference between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM

if (date2 < date1) {
    date2.setDate(date2.getDate() + 1);
}

var diff = date2 - date1;

// 28800000 milliseconds (8 hours)

You can then convert milliseconds to hour, minute and seconds like this:

var msec = diff;
var hh = Math.floor(msec / 1000 / 60 / 60);
msec -= hh * 1000 * 60 * 60;
var mm = Math.floor(msec / 1000 / 60);
msec -= mm * 1000 * 60;
var ss = Math.floor(msec / 1000);
msec -= ss * 1000;
// diff = 28800000 => hh = 8, mm = 0, ss = 0, msec = 0

You can convert time as string to 24-hour format like this:

function parseTime(s) {
    var part = s.match(/(\d+):(\d+)(?: )?(am|pm)?/i);
    var hh = parseInt(part[1], 10);
    var mm = parseInt(part[2], 10);
    var ap = part[3] ? part[3].toUpperCase() : null;
    if (ap === "AM") {
        if (hh == 12) {
            hh = 0;
        }
    }
    if (ap === "PM") {
        if (hh != 12) {
            hh += 12;
        }
    }
    return { hh: hh, mm: mm };
}
parseTime("12:00 AM"); // {hh:  0, mm: 0}
parseTime("12:00 PM"); // {hh: 12, mm: 0}
parseTime("01:00 PM"); // {hh: 13, mm: 0}
parseTime("23:00");    // {hh: 23, mm: 0}

How to insert date values into table

date must be insert with two apostrophes' As example if the date is 2018/10/20. It can insert from these query

Query -

How can I save a screenshot directly to a file in Windows?

Little known fact: in most standard Windows (XP) dialogs, you can hit Ctrl+C to have a textual copy of the content of the dialog.
Example: open a file in Notepad, hit space, close the window, hit Ctrl+C on the Confirm Exit dialog, cancel, paste in Notepad the text of the dialog.
Unrelated to your direct question, but I though it would be nice to mention in this thread.

Beside, indeed, you need a third party software to do the screenshot, but you don't need to fire the big Photoshop for that. Something free and lightweight like IrfanWiew or XnView can do the job. I use MWSnap to copy arbitrary parts of the screen. I wrote a little AutoHotkey script calling GDI+ functions to do screenshots. Etc.

How can I match on an attribute that contains a certain string?

For the links which contains common url have to console in a variable. Then attempt it sequentially.

webelements allLinks=driver.findelements(By.xpath("//a[contains(@href,'http://122.11.38.214/dl/appdl/application/apk')]"));
int linkCount=allLinks.length();
for(int i=0; <linkCount;i++)
{
    driver.findelement(allLinks[i]).click();
}

Re-run Spring Boot Configuration Annotation Processor to update generated metadata

C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

I've found answers here still are incomplete.

The most closest portable implementation I've found from here is: C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

But it doen't work with the zero arguments in the GCC without at least -std=gnu++11 command line parameter.

So I decided to merge this solution with that: https://gustedt.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/detect-empty-macro-arguments/

Hiding a form and showing another when a button is clicked in a Windows Forms application

Anything after Application.Run( ) will only be executed when the main form closes.

What you could do is handle the VisibleChanged event as follows:

static Form1 form1;
static Form2 form2;

static void Main()
{

    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    form2 = new Form2();
    form1 = new Form1();
    form2.Hide();
    form1.VisibleChanged += OnForm1Changed;
    Application.Run(form1);

}

static void OnForm1Changed( object sender, EventArgs args )
{
    if ( !form1.Visible )
    {
        form2.Show( );
    }
}

System.out.println("Column Type Name of 1st column: "+rsmd.getColumnTypeName(1));

Catch an exception thrown by an async void method

The reason the exception is not caught is because the Foo() method has a void return type and so when await is called, it simply returns. As DoFoo() is not awaiting the completion of Foo, the exception handler cannot be used.

This opens up a simpler solution if you can change the method signatures - alter Foo() so that it returns type Task and then DoFoo() can await Foo(), as in this code:

public async Task Foo() {
    var x = await DoSomethingThatThrows();
}

public async void DoFoo() {
    try {
        await Foo();
    } catch (ProtocolException ex) {
        // This will catch exceptions from DoSomethingThatThrows
    }
}

Update query using Subquery in Sql Server

you can join both tables even on UPDATE statements,

UPDATE  a
SET     a.marks = b.marks
FROM    tempDataView a
        INNER JOIN tempData b
            ON a.Name = b.Name

SQLFiddle Demo

for faster performance, define an INDEX on column marks on both tables.

using SUBQUERY

UPDATE  tempDataView 
SET     marks = 
        (
          SELECT marks 
          FROM tempData b 
          WHERE tempDataView.Name = b.Name
        )

Removing trailing newline character from fgets() input

Tim Cas one liner is amazing for strings obtained by a call to fgets, because you know they contain a single newline at the end.

If you are in a different context and want to handle strings that may contain more than one newline, you might be looking for strrspn. It is not POSIX, meaning you will not find it on all Unices. I wrote one for my own needs.

/* Returns the length of the segment leading to the last 
   characters of s in accept. */
size_t strrspn (const char *s, const char *accept)
{
  const char *ch;
  size_t len = strlen(s);

more: 
  if (len > 0) {
    for (ch = accept ; *ch != 0 ; ch++) {
      if (s[len - 1] == *ch) {
        len--;
        goto more;
      }
    }
  }
  return len;
}

For those looking for a Perl chomp equivalent in C, I think this is it (chomp only removes the trailing newline).

line[strrspn(string, "\r\n")] = 0;

The strrcspn function:

/* Returns the length of the segment leading to the last 
   character of reject in s. */
size_t strrcspn (const char *s, const char *reject)
{
  const char *ch;
  size_t len = strlen(s);
  size_t origlen = len;

  while (len > 0) {
    for (ch = reject ; *ch != 0 ; ch++) {
      if (s[len - 1] == *ch) {
        return len;
      }
    }
    len--;
  }
  return origlen;
}

Direct casting vs 'as' operator?

I would like to attract attention to the following specifics of the as operator:

Note that the as operator performs only reference conversions, nullable conversions, and boxing conversions. The as operator can't perform other conversions, such as user-defined conversions, which should instead be performed by using cast expressions.

R: Break for loop

Well, your code is not reproducible so we will never know for sure, but this is what help('break')says:

break breaks out of a for, while or repeat loop; control is transferred to the first statement outside the inner-most loop.

So yes, break only breaks the current loop. You can also see it in action with e.g.:

for (i in 1:10)
{
    for (j in 1:10)
    {
        for (k in 1:10)
        {
            cat(i," ",j," ",k,"\n")
            if (k ==5) break
        }   
    }
}

Are the PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc methods available in most web browsers?

HTML forms support GET and POST. (HTML5 at one point added PUT/DELETE, but those were dropped.)

XMLHttpRequest supports every method, including CHICKEN, though some method names are matched against case-insensitively (methods are case-sensitive per HTTP) and some method names are not supported at all for security reasons (e.g. CONNECT).

Browsers are slowly converging on the rules specified by XMLHttpRequest, but as the other comment pointed out there are still some differences.

How to get the current date and time of your timezone in Java?

Date is always UTC-based... or time-zone neutral, depending on how you want to view it. A Date only represents a point in time; it is independent of time zone, just a number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch. There's no notion of a "local instance of Date." Use Date in conjunction with Calendar and/or TimeZone.getDefault() to use a "local" time zone. Use TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Madrid") to get the Madrid time zone.

... or use Joda Time, which tends to make the whole thing clearer, IMO. In Joda Time you'd use a DateTime value, which is an instant in time in a particular calendar system and time zone.

In Java 8 you'd use java.time.ZonedDateTime, which is the Java 8 equivalent of Joda Time's DateTime.

How to construct a REST API that takes an array of id's for the resources

You can build a Rest API or a restful project using ASP.NET MVC and return data as a JSON. An example controller function would be:

        public JsonpResult GetUsers(string userIds)
        {
           var values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<int>>(userIds);

            var users = _userRepository.GetAllUsersByIds(userIds);

            var collection = users.Select(user => new { id = user.Id, fullname = user.FirstName +" "+ user.LastName });
            var result = new { users = collection };

            return this.Jsonp(result);
        }
        public IQueryable<User> GetAllUsersByIds(List<int> ids)
        {
            return _db.Users.Where(c=> ids.Contains(c.Id));
        }

Then you just call the GetUsers function via a regular AJAX function supplying the array of Ids(in this case I am using jQuery stringify to send the array as string and dematerialize it back in the controller but you can just send the array of ints and receive it as an array of int's in the controller). I've build an entire Restful API using ASP.NET MVC that returns the data as cross domain json and that can be used from any app. That of course if you can use ASP.NET MVC.

function GetUsers()
    {
           var link = '<%= ResolveUrl("~")%>users?callback=?';
           var userIds = [];
            $('#multiselect :selected').each(function (i, selected) {
                userIds[i] = $(selected).val();
            });

            $.ajax({
                url: link,
                traditional: true,
                data: { 'userIds': JSON.stringify(userIds) },
                dataType: "jsonp",
                jsonpCallback: "refreshUsers"
            });
    }

How do I pass a datetime value as a URI parameter in asp.net mvc?

Typical format of a URI for ASP .NET MVC is Controller/Action/Id where Id is an integer

I would suggest sending the date value as a parameter rather than as part of the route:

 mysite/Controller/Action?date=21-9-2009 10:20

If it's still giving you problems the date may contain characters that are not allowed in a URI and need to be encoded. Check out:

 encodeURIComponent(yourstring)

It is a method within Javascript.

On the Server Side:

public ActionResult ActionName(string date)
{
     DateTime mydate;
     DateTime.Tryparse(date, out mydate);
}

FYI, any url parameter can be mapped to an action method parameter as long as the names are the same.

How to get name of dataframe column in pyspark?

The only way is to go an underlying level to the JVM.

df.col._jc.toString().encode('utf8')

This is also how it is converted to a str in the pyspark code itself.

From pyspark/sql/column.py:

def __repr__(self):
    return 'Column<%s>' % self._jc.toString().encode('utf8')
