Xml Parsing in C#

First add an Enrty and Category class:

public class Entry {     public string Id { get; set; }     public string Title { get; set; }     public string Updated { get; set; }     public string Summary { get; set; }     public string GPoint { get; set; }     public string GElev { get; set; }     public List<string> Categories { get; set; } }  public class Category {     public string Label { get; set; }     public string Term { get; set; } } 

Then use LINQ to XML

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("path");          List<Entry> entries = (from x in xDoc.Descendants("entry")             select new Entry()             {                 Id = (string) x.Element("id"),                 Title = (string)x.Element("title"),                 Updated = (string)x.Element("updated"),                 Summary = (string)x.Element("summary"),                 GPoint = (string)x.Element("georss:point"),                 GElev = (string)x.Element("georss:elev"),                 Categories = (from c in x.Elements("category")                                   select new Category                                   {                                       Label = (string)c.Attribute("label"),                                       Term = (string)c.Attribute("term")                                   }).ToList();             }).ToList(); 

Chrome violation : [Violation] Handler took 83ms of runtime

"Chrome violations" don't represent errors in either Chrome or your own web app. They are instead warnings to help you improve your app. In this case, Long running JavaScript and took 83ms of runtime are alerting you there's probably an opportunity to speed up your script.

("Violation" is not the best terminology; it's used here to imply the script "violates" a pre-defined guideline, but "warning" or similar would be clearer. These messages first appeared in Chrome in early 2017 and should ideally have a "More info" prompt to elaborate on the meaning and give suggested actions to the developer. Hopefully those will be added in the future.)

Attach event to dynamic elements in javascript

This is due to the fact that your element is dynamically created. You should use event delegation to handle the event.

 document.addEventListener('click',function(e){
    if(e.target && e.target.id== 'brnPrepend'){
          //do something
     }
 });

jquery makes it easier:

 $(document).on('click','#btnPrepend',function(){//do something})

Here is an article about event delegation event delegation article

Code not running in IE 11, works fine in Chrome

While the post of Oka is working great, it might be a bit outdated. I figured out that lodash can tackle it with one single function. If you have lodash installed, it might save you a few lines.

Just try:

import { startsWith } from lodash;

. . .

    if (startsWith(yourVariable, 'REP')) {
         return yourVariable;        
    return yourVariable;
       }      
     }

Why is Event.target not Element in Typescript?

Typescript 3.2.4

For retrieving property you must cast target to appropriate data type:

e => console.log((e.target as Element).id)

How to check View Source in Mobile Browsers (Both Android && Feature Phone)

The view-source url prefix trick didn't work for me using chrome on an iphone. There are apps I could have installed to do this I guess but for whatever reason I just preferred to do it myself rather than install 'yet another app'.

I found this nice quick tutorial for how to setup a bookmark on mobile safari that will automatically open the view source of a page: https://appletoolbox.com/2014/03/how-to-view-webpage-html-source-codes-on-ipad-iphone-no-app-required/

It worked flawlessly for me and now I have it set as a permanent bookmark any time I want, with no app installed.

Edit: There are basically 6 steps which should work for either Chrome or Safari. Instructions for Safari are:

  1. Open Safari and browse to an arbitrary page.
  2. Select the "Share" (or action") button in Safari (looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top).
  3. Select "Add Bookmark"
  4. Delete the page title and replace it with something useful like "Show Page Source". Click Save.
  5. Next browse to this exact Stack Overflow answer on your phone and copy the javascript code below to your phone clipboard (code credit: Rob Flaherty):
javascript:(function(){var a=window.open('about:blank').document;a.write('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Source of '+location.href+'</title><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /></head><body></body></html>');a.close();var b=a.body.appendChild(a.createElement('pre'));b.style.overflow='auto';b.style.whiteSpace='pre-wrap';b.appendChild(a.createTextNode(document.documentElement.innerHTML))})();
  1. Open the "Bookmarks" in Safari and opt to Edit the newly created Show Page Source bookmark. Delete whatever was previously saved in the Address field and instead paste in the Javascript code. Save it.
  2. (Optional) Profit!

ReferenceError: document is not defined (in plain JavaScript)

Try adding the script element just before the /body tag like that

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/quiz.css" />

<body>

    <div id="divid">Next</div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/quiz.js"></script>
</body>

Failed to execute 'btoa' on 'Window': The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

I just ran into this problem myself.

First, modify your code slightly:

var download = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"
                  +"<"+this.gamesave.tagName+">"
                  +this.xml.firstChild.innerHTML
                  +"</"+this.gamesave.tagName+">";

this.loader.src = "data:application/x-forcedownload;base64,"+
                  btoa(download);

Then use your favorite web inspector, put a breakpoint on the line of code that assigns this.loader.src, then execute this code:

for (var i = 0; i < download.length; i++) {
  if (download[i].charCodeAt(0) > 255) {
    console.warn('found character ' + download[i].charCodeAt(0) + ' "' + download[i] + '" at position ' + i);
  }
}

Depending on your application, replacing the characters that are out of range may or may not work, since you'll be modifying the data. See the note on MDN about unicode characters with the btoa method:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.btoa

Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window'

BlobBuilder is obsolete, use Blob constructor instead:

URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([/*whatever content*/] , {type:'text/plain'}));

This returns a blob URL which you can then use in an anchor's href. You can also modify an anchor's download attribute to manipulate the file name:

<a href="/*assign url here*/" id="link" download="whatever.txt">download me</a>

Fiddled. If I recall correctly, there are arbitrary restrictions on trusted non-user initiated downloads; thus we'll stick with a link clicking which is seen as sufficiently user-initiated :)

Update: it's actually pretty trivial to save current document's html! Whenever our interactive link is clicked, we'll update its href with a relevant blob. After executing the click-bound event, that's the download URL that will be navigated to!

$('#link').on('click', function(e){
  this.href = URL.createObjectURL(
    new Blob([document.documentElement.outerHTML] , {type:'text/html'})
  );
});

Fiddled again.

what is trailing whitespace and how can I handle this?

Trailing whitespace is any spaces or tabs after the last non-whitespace character on the line until the newline.

In your posted question, there is one extra space after try:, and there are 12 extra spaces after pass:

>>> post_text = '''\
...             if self.tagname and self.tagname2 in list1:
...                 try: 
...                     question = soup.find("div", "post-text")
...                     title = soup.find("a", "question-hyperlink")
...                     self.list2.append(str(title)+str(question)+url)
...                     current += 1
...                 except AttributeError:
...                     pass            
...             logging.info("%s questions passed, %s questions \
...                 collected" % (count, current))
...             count += 1
...         return self.list2
... '''
>>> for line in post_text.splitlines():
...     if line.rstrip() != line:
...         print(repr(line))
... 
'                try: '
'                    pass            '

See where the strings end? There are spaces before the lines (indentation), but also spaces after.

Use your editor to find the end of the line and backspace. Many modern text editors can also automatically remove trailing whitespace from the end of the line, for example every time you save a file.

How to identify and switch to the frame in selenium webdriver when frame does not have id

driver.switchTo().frame() has multiple overloads.

  1. driver.switchTo().frame(name_or_id)
    Here your iframe doesn't have id or name, so not for you.

  2. driver.switchTo().frame(index)
    This is the last option to choose, because using index is not stable enough as you could imagine. If this is your only iframe in the page, try driver.switchTo().frame(0)

  3. driver.switchTo().frame(iframe_element)
    The most common one. You locate your iframe like other elements, then pass it into the method.

Here locating it by title attributes seems to be the best.

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("iframe[title='Fill Quote']")));
// driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//iframe[@title='Fill Quote']")));

Check/Uncheck all the checkboxes in a table

$(document).ready(function () {

            var someObj = {};

            $("#checkAll").click(function () {
                $('.chk').prop('checked', this.checked);
            });

            $(".chk").click(function () {

                $("#checkAll").prop('checked', ($('.chk:checked').length == $('.chk').length) ? true : false);
            });

            $("input:checkbox").change(function () {
                debugger;

                someObj.elementChecked = [];

                $("input:checkbox").each(function () {
                    if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
                        someObj.elementChecked.push($(this).attr("id"));

                    }

                });             
            });

            $("#button").click(function () {
                debugger;

                alert(someObj.elementChecked);

            });

        });
    </script>
</head>

<body>

    <ul class="chkAry">
        <li><input type="checkbox" id="checkAll" />Select All</li>

        <li><input class="chk" type="checkbox" id="Delhi">Delhi</li>

Get Selected value from dropdown using JavaScript

Maybe it's the comma in your if condition.

function answers() {
var answer=document.getElementById("mySelect");
 if(answer[answer.selectedIndex].value == "To measure time.") {
  alert("That's correct!"); 
 }
}

You can also write it like this.

function answers(){
 document.getElementById("mySelect").value!="To measure time."||(alert('That's correct!'))
}

How to check file MIME type with javascript before upload?

If you just want to check if the file uploaded is an image you can just try to load it into <img> tag an check for any error callback.

Example:

var input = document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
var reader = new FileReader();

reader.onload = function (e) {
    imageExists(e.target.result, function(exists){
        if (exists) {

            // Do something with the image file.. 

        } else {

            // different file format

        }
    });
};

reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);


function imageExists(url, callback) {
    var img = new Image();
    img.onload = function() { callback(true); };
    img.onerror = function() { callback(false); };
    img.src = url;
}

Webdriver findElements By xpath

The XPath turns into this:

Get me all of the div elements that have an id equal to container.

As for getting the first etc, you have two options.

Turn it into a .findElement() - this will just return the first one for you anyway.

or

To explicitly do this in XPath, you'd be looking at:

(//div[@id='container'])[1]

for the first one, for the second etc:

(//div[@id='container'])[2]

Then XPath has a special indexer, called last, which would (you guessed it) get you the last element found:

(//div[@id='container'])[last()]

Worth mentioning that XPath indexers will start from 1 not 0 like they do in most programming languages.

As for getting the parent 'node', well, you can use parent:

//div[@id='container']/parent::*

That would get the div's direct parent.

You could then go further and say I want the first *div* with an id of container, and I want his parent:

(//div[@id='container'])[1]/parent::*

Hope that helps!

Creating a Shopping Cart using only HTML/JavaScript

For a project this size, you should stop writing pure JavaScript and turn to some of the libraries available. I'd recommend jQuery (http://jquery.com/), which allows you to select elements by css-selectors, which I recon should speed up your development quite a bit.

Example of your code then becomes;

function AddtoCart() {
  var len = $("#Items tr").length, $row, $inp1, $inp2, $cells;

  $row = $("#Items td:first").clone(true);
  $cells = $row.find("td");

  $cells.get(0).html( len );

  $inp1 = $cells.get(1).find("input:first");
  $inp1.attr("id", $inp1.attr("id") + len).val("");

  $inp2 = $cells.get(2).find("input:first");
  $inp2.attr("id", $inp2.attr("id") + len).val("");

  $("#Items").append($row);
    }

I can see that you might not understand that code yet, but take a look at jQuery, it's easy to learn and will make this development way faster.

I would use the libraries already created specifically for js shopping carts if I were you though.

To your problem; If i look at your jsFiddle, it doesn't even seem like you have defined a table with the id Items? Maybe that's why it doesn't work?

Resize svg when window is resized in d3.js

Look for 'responsive SVG' it is pretty simple to make a SVG responsive and you don't have to worry about sizes any more.

Here is how I did it:

_x000D_
_x000D_
d3.select("div#chartId")_x000D_
   .append("div")_x000D_
   // Container class to make it responsive._x000D_
   .classed("svg-container", true) _x000D_
   .append("svg")_x000D_
   // Responsive SVG needs these 2 attributes and no width and height attr._x000D_
   .attr("preserveAspectRatio", "xMinYMin meet")_x000D_
   .attr("viewBox", "0 0 600 400")_x000D_
   // Class to make it responsive._x000D_
   .classed("svg-content-responsive", true)_x000D_
   // Fill with a rectangle for visualization._x000D_
   .append("rect")_x000D_
   .classed("rect", true)_x000D_
   .attr("width", 600)_x000D_
   .attr("height", 400);
_x000D_
.svg-container {_x000D_
  display: inline-block;_x000D_
  position: relative;_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
  padding-bottom: 100%; /* aspect ratio */_x000D_
  vertical-align: top;_x000D_
  overflow: hidden;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.svg-content-responsive {_x000D_
  display: inline-block;_x000D_
  position: absolute;_x000D_
  top: 10px;_x000D_
  left: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
svg .rect {_x000D_
  fill: gold;_x000D_
  stroke: steelblue;_x000D_
  stroke-width: 5px;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/5.7.0/d3.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div id="chartId"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note: Everything in the SVG image will scale with the window width. This includes stroke width and font sizes (even those set with CSS). If this is not desired, there are more involved alternate solutions below.

How to get a reference to an iframe's window object inside iframe's onload handler created from parent window

You're declaring everything in the parent page. So the references to window and document are to the parent page's. If you want to do stuff to the iframe's, use iframe || iframe.contentWindow to access its window, and iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document to access its document.

There's a word for what's happening, possibly "lexical scope": What is lexical scope?

The only context of a scope is this. And in your example, the owner of the method is doc, which is the iframe's document. Other than that, anything that's accessed in this function that uses known objects are the parent's (if not declared in the function). It would be a different story if the function were declared in a different place, but it's declared in the parent page.

This is how I would write it:

(function () {
  var dom, win, doc, where, iframe;

  iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
  iframe.src = "javascript:false";

  where = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
  where.parentNode.insertBefore(iframe, where);

  win = iframe.contentWindow || iframe;
  doc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;

  doc.open();
  doc._l = (function (w, d) {
    return function () {
      w.vanishing_global = new Date().getTime();

      var js = d.createElement("script");
      js.src = 'test-vanishing-global.js?' + w.vanishing_global;

      w.name = "foobar";
      d.foobar = "foobar:" + Math.random();
      d.foobar = "barfoo:" + Math.random();
      d.body.appendChild(js);
    };
  })(win, doc);
  doc.write('<body onload="document._l();"></body>');
  doc.close();
})();

The aliasing of win and doc as w and d aren't necessary, it just might make it less confusing because of the misunderstanding of scopes. This way, they are parameters and you have to reference them to access the iframe's stuff. If you want to access the parent's, you still use window and document.

I'm not sure what the implications are of adding methods to a document (doc in this case), but it might make more sense to set the _l method on win. That way, things can be run without a prefix...such as <body onload="_l();"></body>

how to get files from <input type='file' .../> (Indirect) with javascript

Above answers are pretty sufficient. Additional to the onChange, if you upload a file using drag and drop events, you can get the file in drop event by accessing eventArgs.dataTransfer.files.

Playing HTML5 video on fullscreen in android webview

Edit 2014/10: by popular demand I'm maintaining and moving this to GitHub. Please check cprcrack/VideoEnabledWebView for the last version. Will keep this answer only for reference.

Edit 2014/01: improved example usage to include the nonVideoLayout, videoLayout, and videoLoading views, for those users requesting more example code for better understading.

Edit 2013/12: some bug fixes related to Sony Xperia devices compatibility, but which in fact affected all devices.

Edit 2013/11: after the release of Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19) with its new Chromium webview, I had to work hard again. Several improvements were made. You should update to this new version. I release this source under WTFPL.

Edit 2013/04: after 1 week of hard work, I finally have achieved everything I needed. I think this two generic classes that I have created can solve all you problems.

VideoEnabledWebChromeClient can be used alone if you do not require the functionality that VideoEnabledWebView adds. But VideoEnabledWebView must always rely on a VideoEnabledWebChromeClient. Please read all the comments of the both classes carefully.

VideoEnabledWebChromeClient class

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;

/**
 * This class serves as a WebChromeClient to be set to a WebView, allowing it to play video.
 * Video will play differently depending on target API level (in-line, fullscreen, or both).
 *
 * It has been tested with the following video classes:
 * - android.widget.VideoView (typically API level <11)
 * - android.webkit.HTML5VideoFullScreen$VideoSurfaceView/VideoTextureView (typically API level 11-18)
 * - com.android.org.chromium.content.browser.ContentVideoView$VideoSurfaceView (typically API level 19+)
 * 
 * Important notes:
 * - For API level 11+, android:hardwareAccelerated="true" must be set in the application manifest.
 * - The invoking activity must call VideoEnabledWebChromeClient's onBackPressed() inside of its own onBackPressed().
 * - Tested in Android API levels 8-19. Only tested on http://m.youtube.com.

And don't forget to call onBackPressed():

@Override
public void onBackPressed()

    // Notify the VideoEnabledWebChromeClient, and handle it ourselves if it doesn't handle it
    if (!webChromeClient.onBackPressed())
    {
        if (webView.canGoBack())

            webView.goBack();
        }
        else
        {
            // Close app (presumably)
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}

Adding div element to body or document in JavaScript

Try this out:-

http://jsfiddle.net/adiioo7/vmfbA/

Use

document.body.innerHTML += '<div style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;opacity:0.3;z-index:100;background:#000;"></div>';

instead of

document.body.innerHTML = '<div style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;opacity:0.3;z-index:100;background:#000;"></div>';

Edit:- Ideally you should use body.appendChild method instead of changing the innerHTML

var elem = document.createElement('div');
elem.style.cssText = 'position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;opacity:0.3;z-index:100;background:#000';
document.body.appendChild(elem);

how to disable DIV element and everything inside

The following css statement disables click events

pointer-events:none;

How to fix Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence

I was getting the xml as a String and using xml.getBytes() and getting this error. Changing to xml.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")) worked for me.

Use getElementById on HTMLElement instead of HTMLDocument

Thanks to dee for the answer above with the Scrape() subroutine. The code worked perfectly as written, and I was able to then convert the code to work with the specific website I am trying to scrape.

I do not have enough reputation to upvote or to comment, but I do actually have some minor improvements to add to dee's answer:

  1. You will need to add the VBA Reference via "Tools\References" to "Microsoft HTML Object Library in order for the code to compile.

  2. I commented out the Browser.Visible line and added the comment as follows

    'if you need to debug the browser page, uncomment this line:
    'Browser.Visible = True
    
  3. And I added a line to close the browser before Set Browser = Nothing:

    Browser.Quit
    

Thanks again dee!

ETA: this works on machines with IE9, but not machines with IE8. Anyone have a fix?

Found the fix myself, so came back here to post it. The ClassName function is available in IE9. For this to work in IE8, you use querySelectorAll, with a dot preceding the class name of the object you are looking for:

'Set repList = doc.getElementsByClassName("reportList") 'only works in IE9, not in IE8
Set repList = doc.querySelectorAll(".reportList")       'this works in IE8+

Create table using Javascript

Might not solve the problem described in this particular question, but might be useful to people looking to create tables out of array of objects:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function createTable(objectArray, fields, fieldTitles) {_x000D_
  let body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];_x000D_
  let tbl = document.createElement('table');_x000D_
  let thead = document.createElement('thead');_x000D_
  let thr = document.createElement('tr');_x000D_
  fieldTitles.forEach((fieldTitle) => {_x000D_
    let th = document.createElement('th');_x000D_
    th.appendChild(document.createTextNode(fieldTitle));_x000D_
    thr.appendChild(th);_x000D_
  });_x000D_
  thead.appendChild(thr);_x000D_
  tbl.appendChild(thead);_x000D_
_x000D_
  let tbdy = document.createElement('tbody');_x000D_
  let tr = document.createElement('tr');_x000D_
  objectArray.forEach((object) => {_x000D_
    let tr = document.createElement('tr');_x000D_
    fields.forEach((field) => {_x000D_
      var td = document.createElement('td');_x000D_
      td.appendChild(document.createTextNode(object[field]));_x000D_
      tr.appendChild(td);_x000D_
    });_x000D_
    tbdy.appendChild(tr);    _x000D_

Loop through all elements in XML using NodeList

public class XMLParser {
   public static void main(String[] args){
      try {
         DocumentBuilder dBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
         Document doc = dBuilder.parse(new File("xml input"));
         NodeList nl=doc.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes();

         for(int k=0;k<nl.getLength();k++){
             printTags((Node)nl.item(k));
         }
      } catch (Exception e) {/*err handling*/}
   }

   public static void printTags(Node nodes){
       if(nodes.hasChildNodes()  || nodes.getNodeType()!=3){
           System.out.println(nodes.getNodeName()+" : "+nodes.getTextContent());
           NodeList nl=nodes.getChildNodes();
           for(int j=0;j<nl.getLength();j++)printTags(nl.item(j));
       }
   }
}

Recursively loop through and print out all the xml child tags in the document, in case you don't have to change the code to handle dynamic changes in xml, provided it's a well formed xml.

Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration

Another reason this can happen is if you send the wrong appId. This can happen in early development if you have a development app and a production app. If you hard-code the appId for dev and push to prod, this will show up.

Javascript Error Null is not an Object

Try loading your javascript after.

Try this:

<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p id="myParagraph">This is an example website</p>

<form>
  <input type="text" id="myTextfield" placeholder="Type your name" />
  <input type="submit" id="myButton" value="Go" />
</form>

<script src="js/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Create <div> and append <div> dynamically

Well, I don't know how dynamic this is is, but sometimes this might save your debugging life:

var daString="<div id=\'block\' class=\'block\'><div class=\'block-2\'></div></div>";
var daParent=document.getElementById("the ID of whatever your parent is goes in here");
daParent.innerHTML=daString;

"Rat javascript" If I did it correctly. Works for me directly when the div and contents are not themselves dynamic of course, or you can even manipulate the string to change that too, though the string manipulating is complex than the "element.property=bla" approach, this gives some very welcome flexibility, and is a great debugging tool too :) Hope it helps.

How get total sum from input box values using Javascript?

Try this:

function add() 
{
  var sum = 0;
  var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
  for(i = 0; i <= inputs.length; i++) 
  {
   if( inputs[i].name == 'qty'+i) 
   {
     sum += parseInt(input[i].value);
   }
  }
  console.log(sum)

}

Call Python function from JavaScript code

Typically you would accomplish this using an ajax request that looks like

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "pythoncode.py?text=" + text, true);
xhr.responseType = "JSON";
xhr.onload = function(e) {
  var arrOfStrings = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
}
xhr.send();

How to select an item from a dropdown list using Selenium WebDriver with java?

You can use 'Select' class of selenium WebDriver as posted by Maitreya. Sorry, but I'm a bit confused about, for selecting gender from drop down why to compare string with "Germany". Here is the code snippet,

Select gender = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("gender")));
gender.selectByVisibleText("Male/Female");

Import import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select; after adding the above code. Now gender will be selected which ever you gave ( Male/Female).

How to get child element by class name?

I know this question is a few years old and there have been a few answers to this but I thought I would add my solution just in case it helps anyone. It's in the same vein as the answer given by user2795540 and involves an array iterator.

If you're just wanting to get the first child that has the four class then you could use the find array iterator. Your browser will need to be able to support ES6 or you can use Babel to compile your JS into something all browsers will support. IE will not support this without a polyfill.

Using the same details you provided in your question it could look something like this:

const parentNode = document.getElementById('test');
const childNode = Array.from(parentNode.childNodes).find(({ className }) => className === 'four');

The above solution will return the node you want to target and store it in the childNode variable.

You can find out more about the find array iterator at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/find

how to get the attribute value of an xml node using java

try something like this :

    DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
    Document dDoc = builder.parse("d://utf8test.xml");

    XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
    NodeList nodes = (NodeList) xPath.evaluate("//xml/ep/source/@type", dDoc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
    for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
        Node node = nodes.item(i);
        System.out.println(node.getTextContent());
    }

please note the changes :

  • we ask for a nodeset (XPathConstants.NODESET) and not only for a single node.
  • the xpath is now //xml/ep/source/@type and not //xml/source/@type/text()

PS: can you add the tag java to your question ? thanks.

Getting the source HTML of the current page from chrome extension

Here is my solution:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender) {
        if (request.action == "getSource") {
            this.pageSource = request.source;
            var title = this.pageSource.match(/<title[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/title>/)[1];
            alert(title)
        }
    });

    chrome.tabs.query({ active: true, currentWindow: true }, tabs => {
        chrome.tabs.executeScript(
            tabs[0].id,
            { code: 'var s = document.documentElement.outerHTML; chrome.runtime.sendMessage({action: "getSource", source: s});' }
        );
    });

Check file size before upload

JavaScript running in a browser doesn't generally have access to the local file system. That's outside the sandbox. So I think the answer is no.

What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag?

TL;DR

The difference between the commands is that one provides you with a tag message while the other doesn't. An annotated tag has a message that can be displayed with git-show(1), while a tag without annotations is just a named pointer to a commit.

More About Lightweight Tags

According to the documentation: "To create a lightweight tag, don’t supply any of the -a, -s, or -m options, just provide a tag name". There are also some different options to write a message on annotated tags:

  • When you use git tag <tagname>, Git will create a tag at the current revision but will not prompt you for an annotation. It will be tagged without a message (this is a lightweight tag).
  • When you use git tag -a <tagname>, Git will prompt you for an annotation unless you have also used the -m flag to provide a message.
  • When you use git tag -a -m <msg> <tagname>, Git will tag the commit and annotate it with the provided message.
  • When you use git tag -m <msg> <tagname>, Git will behave as if you passed the -a flag for annotation and use the provided message.

Basically, it just amounts to whether you want the tag to have an annotation and some other information associated with it or not.

Change :hover CSS properties with JavaScript

I'd recommend to replace all :hover properties to :active when you detect that device supports touch. Just call this function when you do so as touch()

   function touch() {
      if ('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement) {
        for (var sheetI = document.styleSheets.length - 1; sheetI >= 0; sheetI--) {
          var sheet = document.styleSheets[sheetI];
          if (sheet.cssRules) {
            for (var ruleI = sheet.cssRules.length - 1; ruleI >= 0; ruleI--) {
              var rule = sheet.cssRules[ruleI];

              if (rule.selectorText) {
                rule.selectorText = rule.selectorText.replace(':hover', ':active');
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Image re-size to 50% of original size in HTML

You did not do anything wrong here, it will any other thing that is overriding the image size.

You can check this working fiddle.

And in this fiddle I have alter the image size using %, and it is working.

Also try using this code:

<img src="image.jpg" style="width: 50%; height: 50%"/>?

Here is the example fiddle.

Alternative to header("Content-type: text/xml");

Now I see what you are doing. You cannot send output to the screen then change the headers. If you are trying to create an XML file of map marker and download them to display, they should be in separate files.

Take this

<?php
require("database.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';
?>

and place it in phpsqlajax_genxml.php so your javascript can download the XML file. You are trying to do too many things in the same file.

Hexadecimal value 0x00 is a invalid character

Without your actual data or source, it will be hard for us to diagnose what is going wrong. However, I can make a few suggestions:

  • Unicode NUL (0x00) is illegal in all versions of XML and validating parsers must reject input that contains it.
  • Despite the above; real-world non-validated XML can contain any kind of garbage ill-formed bytes imaginable.
  • XML 1.1 allows zero-width and nonprinting control characters (except NUL), so you cannot look at an XML 1.1 file in a text editor and tell what characters it contains.

Given what you wrote, I suspect whatever converts the database data to XML is broken; it's propagating non-XML characters.

Create some database entries with non-XML characters (NULs, DELs, control characters, et al.) and run your XML converter on it. Output the XML to a file and look at it in a hex editor. If this contains non-XML characters, your converter is broken. Fix it or, if you cannot, create a preprocessor that rejects output with such characters.

If the converter output looks good, the problem is in your XML consumer; it's inserting non-XML characters somewhere. You will have to break your consumption process into separate steps, examine the output at each step, and narrow down what is introducing the bad characters.

Check file encoding (for UTF-16)

Update: I just ran into an example of this myself! What was happening is that the producer was encoding the XML as UTF16 and the consumer was expecting UTF8. Since UTF16 uses 0x00 as the high byte for all ASCII characters and UTF8 doesn't, the consumer was seeing every second byte as a NUL. In my case I could change encoding, but suggested all XML payloads start with a BOM.

Uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected identifier?

There are errors here :

var formTag = document.getElementsByTagName("form"), // form tag is an array
selectListItem = $('select'),
makeSelect = document.createElement('select'),
makeSelect.setAttribute("id", "groups");

The code must change to:

var formTag = document.getElementsByTagName("form");
var selectListItem = $('select');
var makeSelect = document.createElement('select');
makeSelect.setAttribute("id", "groups");

By the way, there is another error at line 129 :

var createLi.appendChild(createSubList);

Replace it with:

createLi.appendChild(createSubList);

How do I change an HTML selected option using JavaScript?

mySelect.value = myValue;

Where mySelect is your selection box, and myValue is the value you want to change it to.

How to maintain page scroll position after a jquery event is carried out?

For all who came here from google and are using an anchor element for firing the event, please make sure to void the click likewise:

<a  
href='javascript:void(0)'  
onclick='javascript:whatever causing the page to scroll to the top'  
></a>

JavaScript get child element

ULs don't have a name attribute, but you can reference the ul by tag name.

Try replacing line 3 in your script with this:

var sub = cat.getElementsByTagName("UL");

Root element is missing

  1. Check the trees.config file which located in config folder... sometimes (I don't know why) this file became to be empty like someone delete the content inside... keep backup up of this file in your local pc then when this error appear - replace the server file with your local file. This is what i do when this error happened.

  2. check the available space on the server. sometimes this is the problem.

Good luck.

Load jQuery with Javascript and use jQuery

You need to run your code AFTER jQuery finished loading

var script = document.createElement('script'); 
document.head.appendChild(script);    
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js";
script.onload = function(){
    // your jQuery code here
} 

or if you're running it in an async function you could use await in the above code

var script = document.createElement('script'); 
document.head.appendChild(script);    
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = "//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js";
await script.onload
// your jQuery code here

If you want to check first if jQuery already exists in the page, try this

Show ProgressDialog Android

You should not execute resource intensive tasks in the main thread. It will make the UI unresponsive and you will get an ANR. It seems like you will be doing resource intensive stuff and want the user to see the ProgressDialog. You can take a look at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html to do resource intensive tasks. It also shows you how to use a ProgressDialog.

How to get all options in a drop-down list by Selenium WebDriver using C#?

Padding is invalid and cannot be removed?

For the benefit of people searching, it may be worth checking the input being decrypted. In my case, the info being sent for decryption was (wrongly) going in as an empty string. It resulted in the padding error.

This may relate to rossum's answer, but thought it worth mentioning.

How to select <td> of the <table> with javascript?

There begin to appear some answers that assume you want to get all <td> elements from #table. If so, the simplest cross-browser way how to do this is document.getElementById('table').getElementsByTagName('td'). This works because getElementsByTagName doesn't return only immediate children. No loops are needed.

Read a XML (from a string) and get some fields - Problems reading XML

I used the System.Xml.Linq.XElement for the purpose. Just check code below for reading the value of first child node of the xml(not the root node).

        string textXml = "<xmlroot><firstchild>value of first child</firstchild>........</xmlroot>";
        XElement xmlroot = XElement.Parse(textXml);
        string firstNodeContent = ((System.Xml.Linq.XElement)(xmlroot.FirstNode)).Value;

PHP DOMDocument loadHTML not encoding UTF-8 correctly

Make sure the real source file is saved as UTF-8 (You may even want to try the non-recommended BOM Chars with UTF-8 to make sure).

Also in case of HTML, make sure you have declared the correct encoding using meta tags:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

If it's a CMS (as you've tagged your question with Joomla) you may need to configure appropriate settings for the encoding.

how to get html content from a webview?

above given methods are for if you have an web url ,but if you have an local html then you can have also html by this code

AssetManager mgr = mContext.getAssets();
             try {
InputStream in = null;              
if(condition)//you have a local html saved in assets
                            {

            if(in == null) {
                return "";
            }

            Writer writer = new StringWriter();

                int n;
                while ((n = reader.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                    writer.write(buffer, 0, n);
                }

You can also add an and statement to be sure if checked is true.

Facebook Open Graph Error - Inferred Property

It might help some people who are struggling to get Facebook to read Open Graph nicely...

Have a look at the source code that is generated by browser using Firefox, Chrome or another desktop browser (many mobiles won't do view source) and make sure there is no blank lines before the doctype line or head tag... If there is Facebook will have a complete tantrum and throw it's toys out of the pram! (Best description!) Remove Blank Line - happy Facebook... took me about 1.5 - 2 hours to spot this!

load scripts asynchronously

I wrote a little post to help out with this, you can read more here https://timber.io/snippets/asynchronously-load-a-script-in-the-browser-with-javascript/, but I've attached the helper class below. It will automatically wait for a script to load and return a specified window attribute once it does.

export default class ScriptLoader {
  constructor (options) {
    const { src, global, protocol = document.location.protocol } = options
    this.src = src
    this.global = global
    this.protocol = protocol
    this.isLoaded = false
  }

  loadScript () {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      // Create script element and set attributes
      const script = document.createElement('script')
      script.type = 'text/javascript'
      script.async = true
      script.src = `${this.protocol}//${this.src}`

      // Append the script to the DOM
      const el = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]
      el.parentNode.insertBefore(script, el)

      // Resolve the promise once the script is loaded
      script.addEventListener('load', () => {
        this.isLoaded = true
        resolve(script)
      })

      // Catch any errors while loading the script
      script.addEventListener('error', () => {
        reject(new Error(`${this.src} failed to load.`))
      })
    })
  }

  load () {
    return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
      if (!this.isLoaded) {
        try {
          await this.loadScript()
          resolve(window[this.global])
        } catch (e) {
          reject(e)
        }
      } else {
        resolve(window[this.global])
      }
    })
  }
}

Usage is like this:

const loader = new Loader({
    src: 'cdn.segment.com/analytics.js',
    global: 'Segment',
})

// scriptToLoad will now be a reference to `window.Segment`
const scriptToLoad = await loader.load()

Getting HTML elements by their attribute names

I think you want to take a look at jQuery since that Javascript library provides a lot of functionality you might want to use in this kind of cases. In your case you could write (or find one on the internet) a hasAttribute method, like so (not tested):

$.fn.hasAttribute = function(tagName, attrName){
  var result = [];
  $.each($(tagName), function(index, value) { 
     var attr = $(this).attr(attrName); 
     if (typeof attr !== 'undefined' && attr !== false)
        result.push($(this));
  });
  return result;
}

Section vs Article HTML5

Article and Section are both semantic elements of HTML5. Section is block level generic section of a webpage, but relevant to our webpage content. Article is also block level, but article refers to an individual blog post, a comment, of a webpage.

Both Article and Section should include an heading elements h2-h6.

For a blog post, use following syntax for article and section.

<article role="main">
         <h1>Heading 1</h1>
         <p>Article Description</p>
         <section id="sec1">
                <h2>Section Heading</h2>
                <p>Section Description</p>
         </section>
         <section id="sec2">
                <h2>Section Heading</h2>
                <p>Section Description</p>
         </section>
</article>

How to make script execution wait until jquery is loaded

Rather than "wait" (which is usually done using setTimeout), you could also use the defining of the jQuery object in the window itself as a hook to execute your code that relies on it. This is achievable through a property definition, defined using Object.defineProperty.

(function(){
  var _jQuery;
  Object.defineProperty(window, 'jQuery', {
    get: function() { return _jQuery; },
    set: function($) {
      _jQuery = $;

      // put code or call to function that uses jQuery here

    }
  });
})();

Selenium WebDriver and DropDown Boxes

You could try this:

IWebElement dropDownListBox = driver.findElement(By.Id("selection"));
SelectElement clickThis = new SelectElement(dropDownListBox);
clickThis.SelectByText("Germany");

How do you get the contextPath from JavaScript, the right way?

Based on the discussion in the comments (particularly from BalusC), it's probably not worth doing anything more complicated than this:

<script>var ctx = "${pageContext.request.contextPath}"</script>

This creates valid xlsx on the client side. Also supports some basic styling. Check https://codepen.io/rohithb/pen/YdjVbb for a working example.

White spaces are required between publicId and systemId

The error message is actually correct if not obvious. It says that your DOCTYPE must have a SYSTEM identifier. I assume yours only has a public identifier.

You'll get the error with (for instance):

<!DOCTYPE persistence PUBLIC
    "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">

You won't with:

<!DOCTYPE persistence PUBLIC
    "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd" "">

Notice "" at the end in the second one -- that's the system identifier. The error message is confusing: it should say that you need a system identifier, not that you need a space between the publicId and the (non-existent) systemId.

By the way, an empty system identifier might not be ideal, but it might be enough to get you moving.

How to set a Fragment tag by code?

You can set tag to fragment in this way:

Fragment fragmentA = new FragmentA();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.MainFrameLayout,fragmentA,"YOUR_TARGET_FRAGMENT_TAG")
    .addToBackStack("YOUR_SOURCE_FRAGMENT_TAG").commit(); 

changing visibility using javascript

If you just want to display it when you get a response add this to your loadpage()

function loadpage(page_request, containerid){
   if (page_request.readyState == 4 && page_request.status==200) { 
      var container = document.getElementById(containerid);
      container.innerHTML=page_request.responseText;
      container.style.visibility = 'visible';
      // or 
      container.style.display = 'block';
}

but this depend entirely on how you hid the div in the first place

Filter output in logcat by tagname

use this:

adb logcat -s "TAGNAME"

Setting maxlength of textbox with JavaScript or jQuery

$('#yourTextBoxId').live('change keyup paste', function(){
    if ($('#yourTextBoxId').val().length > 11) {
        $('#yourTextBoxId').val($('#yourTextBoxId').val().substr(0,10));
    }
});

I Used this along with vars and selectors caching for performance and that did the trick ..

Get child Node of another Node, given node name

Check if the Node is a Dom Element, cast, and call getElementsByTagName()

Node doc = docs.item(i);
if(doc instanceof Element) {
    Element docElement = (Element)doc;
    ...
    cell = doc.getElementsByTagName("aoo").item(0);
}

changing source on html5 video tag

I have a similar web app and am not facing that sort of problem at all. What i do is something like this:

var sources = new Array();

sources[0] = /path/to/file.mp4
sources[1] = /path/to/another/file.ogg
etc..

then when i want to change the sources i have a function that does something like this:

this.loadTrack = function(track){
var mediaSource = document.getElementsByTagName('source')[0];
mediaSource.src = sources[track];

    var player = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
    player.load();

}

I do this so that the user can make their way through a playlist, but you could check for userAgent and then load the appropriate file that way. I tried using multiple source tags like everyone on the internet suggested, but i found it much cleaner, and much more reliable to manipulate the src attribute of a single source tag. The code above was written from memory, so i may have glossed over some of hte details, but the general idea is to dynamically change the src attribute of the source tag using javascript, when appropriate.

Add event handler for body.onload by javascript within <body> part

As @epascarello mentioned for W3C standard browsers, you should use:

body.addEventListener("load", init, false);

However, if you want it to work on IE<9 as well you can use:

var prefix = window.addEventListener ? "" : "on";
var eventName = window.addEventListener ? "addEventListener" : "attachEvent";
document.body[eventName](prefix + "load", init, false);

Or if you want it in a single line:

document.body[window.addEventListener ? 'addEventListener' : 'attachEvent'](
    window.addEventListener ? "load" : "onload", init, false);

Note: here I get a straight reference to the body element via the document, saving the need for the first line.

Also, if you're using jQuery, and you want to use the DOM ready event rather than when the body loads, the answer can be even shorter...

$(init);

Removing elements by class name?

In pure vanilla Javascript, without jQuery or ES6, you could do:

const elements = document.getElementsByClassName("my-class");

while (elements.length > 0) elements[0].remove();

get all the elements of a particular form

If you only want form elements that have a name attribute, you can filter the form elements.

const form = document.querySelector("your-form")
Array.from(form.elements).filter(e => e.getAttribute("name"))

Getting an attribute value in xml element

Below is the code to do it in vtd-xml. It basically queries the XML with the XPath of "/xml/item/@name."

import com.ximpleware.*;

public class getAttrs{

   public static void main(String[] s) throws VTDException{
         VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
         if (!vg.parseFile("input.xml",false)) // turn off namespace
              return;
         VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
         AutoPilot ap =  new AutoPilot(vn);
         ap.selectXPath("/xml/item/@name");
         int i=0;
         while( (i=ap.evalXPath())!=-1){
              System.out.println(" item name is ===>"+vn.toString(i+1)); 
         }
   }
}

Add CSS to <head> with JavaScript?

If you don't want to rely on a javascript library, you can use document.write() to spit out the required css, wrapped in style tags, straight into the document head:

<head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write("<style>body { background-color:#000 }</style>");
  </script>
  # other stuff..
</head>

This way you avoid firing an extra HTTP request.

There are other solutions that have been suggested / added / removed, but I don't see any point in overcomplicating something that already works fine cross-browser. Good luck!

JQuery add class to parent element

$(this.parentNode).addClass('newClass');

document.createElement("script") synchronously

I had the following problem(s) with the existing answers to this question (and variations of this question on other stackoverflow threads):

  • None of the loaded code was debuggable
  • Many of the solutions required callbacks to know when loading was finished instead of truly blocking, meaning I would get execution errors from immediately calling loaded (ie loading) code.

Or, slightly more accurately:

  • None of the loaded code was debuggable (except from the HTML script tag block, if and only if the solution added a script elements to the dom, and never ever as individual viewable scripts.) => Given how many scripts I have to load (and debug), this was unacceptable.
  • Solutions using 'onreadystatechange' or 'onload' events failed to block, which was a big problem since the code originally loaded dynamic scripts synchronously using 'require([filename, 'dojo/domReady']);' and I was stripping out dojo.

My final solution, which loads the script before returning, AND has all scripts properly accessible in the debugger (for Chrome at least) is as follows:

WARNING: The following code should PROBABLY be used only in 'development' mode. (For 'release' mode I recommend prepackaging and minification WITHOUT dynamic script loading, or at least without eval).

//Code User TODO: you must create and set your own 'noEval' variable

require = function require(inFileName)
{
    var aRequest
        ,aScript
        ,aScriptSource
        ;

    //setup the full relative filename
    inFileName = 
        window.location.protocol + '//'
        + window.location.host + '/'
        + inFileName;

    //synchronously get the code
    aRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
    aRequest.open('GET', inFileName, false);
    aRequest.send();

    //set the returned script text while adding special comment to auto include in debugger source listing:
    aScriptSource = aRequest.responseText + '\n////# sourceURL=' + inFileName + '\n';

    if(noEval)//<== **TODO: Provide + set condition variable yourself!!!!**
    {
        //create a dom element to hold the code
        aScript = document.createElement('script');
        aScript.type = 'text/javascript';

        //set the script tag text, including the debugger id at the end!!
        aScript.text = aScriptSource;

        //append the code to the dom
        document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(aScript);
    }
    else
    {
        eval(aScriptSource);
    }
};

Line Break in XML?

just use &lt;br&gt; at the end of your lines.

alert a variable value

See with the help of the following example if you can use literals and '$' sign in your case.

    function doHomework(subject) {
    
      alert(\`Starting my ${subject} homework.\`);
    
    }

doHomework('maths');

Executing <script> elements inserted with .innerHTML

A solution without using "eval":

var setInnerHtml = function(elm, html) {
  elm.innerHTML = html;
  var scripts = elm.getElementsByTagName("script");
  // If we don't clone the results then "scripts"
  // will actually update live as we insert the new
  // tags, and we'll get caught in an endless loop
  var scriptsClone = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
    scriptsClone.push(scripts[i]);
  }
  for (var i = 0; i < scriptsClone.length; i++) {
    var currentScript = scriptsClone[i];
    var s = document.createElement("script");
    // Copy all the attributes from the original script
    for (var j = 0; j < currentScript.attributes.length; j++) {
      var a = currentScript.attributes[j];
      s.setAttribute(a.name, a.value);
    }
    s.appendChild(document.createTextNode(currentScript.innerHTML));
    currentScript.parentNode.replaceChild(s, currentScript);
  }
}

This essentially clones the script tag and then replaces the blocked script tag with the newly generated one, thus allowing execution.

How to get input text value from inside td

Ah I think a understand now. Have a look if this really is what you want:

$(".start").keyup(function(){
    $(this).closest('tr').find("input").each(function() {
        alert(this.value)
    });
});

This will give you all input values of a row.

Update:
To get the value of not all elements you can use :not():

$(this).closest('tr').find("input:not([name^=desc][name^=phone])").each(function() {
     alert(this.value)
});

Actually I am not 100% sure whether it works this way, maybe you have to use two nots instead of this one combining both conditions.

How do I get the web page contents from a WebView?

Have you considered fetching the HTML separately, and then loading it into a webview?

String fetchContent(WebView view, String url) throws IOException {
    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(get);
    StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
    int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    String html = EntityUtils.toString(entity); // assume html for simplicity
    view.loadDataWithBaseURL(url, html, "text/html", "utf-8", url); // todo: get mime, charset from entity
    if (statusCode != 200) {
        // handle fail
    }
    return html;
}

Beautiful Soup and extracting a div and its contents by ID

The Id property is always uniquely identified. That means you can use it directly without even specifying the element. Therefore, it is a plus point if your elements have it to parse through the content.

divEle = soup.find(id = "articlebody")

How to tell which commit a tag points to in Git?

In order to get the sha/hash of the commit that a tag refers to (not the sha of the tag):

git rev-list -1 <tag>

Can jQuery provide the tag name?

The best way to fix your problem, is to replace $(this).attr("tag") with either this.nodeName.toLowerCase() or this.tagName.toLowerCase().

Both produce the exact same result!

Adding an onclick event to a table row

      border:1px solid black;_x000D_
  }_x000D_
</style>_x000D_
_x000D_
</head>_x000D_
<body>_x000D_
<p>Click on each tr element to alert its index position in the table:</p>_x000D_
<table>_x000D_
  <tr onclick="myFunction(this)">_x000D_
    <td>Click to show rowIndex</td>_x000D_

Javascript - How to detect if document has loaded (IE 7/Firefox 3)

The above one with JQuery is the easiest and mostly used way. However you can use pure javascript but try to define this script in the head so that it is read at the beginning. What you are looking for is window.onload event.

Below is a simple script that I created to run a counter. The counter then stops after 10 iterations

window.onload=function()
{
    var counter = 0;
    var interval1 = setInterval(function()
    { 
        document.getElementById("div1").textContent=counter;
        counter++; 
        if(counter==10)
        {
            clearInterval(interval1);
        }
    },1000);

}

Read XML Attribute using XmlDocument

If your XML contains namespaces, then you can do the following in order to obtain the value of an attribute:

var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

// content is your XML as string
xmlDoc.LoadXml(content);

XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());

// make sure the namespace identifier, URN in this case, matches what you have in your XML 
nsmgr.AddNamespace("ns", "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol");

// get the value of Destination attribute from within the Response node with a prefix who's identifier is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol" using XPath
var str = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/ns:Response/@Destination", nsmgr);
if (str != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(str.Value);
}

PHP/regex: How to get the string value of HTML tag?

<?php
function getTextBetweenTags($string, $tagname) {
    $pattern = "/<$tagname ?.*>(.*)<\/$tagname>/";
    preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
    return $matches[1];
}

$str = '<textformat leading="2"><p align="left"><font size="10">get me</font></p></textformat>';
$txt = getTextBetweenTags($str, "font");
echo $txt;
?>

That should do the trick

Detecting when Iframe content has loaded (Cross browser)

For anyone using Ember, this should work as expected:

<iframe onLoad={{action 'actionName'}}  frameborder='0' src={{iframeSrc}} />

JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example

Another way that hasn't been mentioned yet is the use of Function.prototype.bind

_x000D_
_x000D_
var funcs = {};_x000D_
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {_x000D_
  funcs[i] = function(x) {_x000D_
    console.log('My value: ' + x);_x000D_
  }.bind(this, i);_x000D_
}_x000D_
for (var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {_x000D_
  funcs[j]();_x000D_
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

UPDATE

As pointed out by @squint and @mekdev, you get better performance by creating the function outside the loop first and then binding the results within the loop.

_x000D_
_x000D_
function log(x) {_x000D_
  console.log('My value: ' + x);_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
var funcs = [];_x000D_
_x000D_
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {_x000D_

How to tell if a <script> tag failed to load

The script from Erwinus works great, but isn't very clearly coded. I took the liberty to clean it up and decipher what it was doing. I've made these changes:

  • Meaningful variable names
  • Use of prototype.
  • require() uses an argument variable
  • No alert() messages are returned by default
  • Fixed some syntax errors and scope issues I was getting

Thanks again to Erwinus, the functionality itself is spot on.

function ScriptLoader() {
}

ScriptLoader.prototype = {

    timer: function (times, // number of times to try
                     delay, // delay per try
                     delayMore, // extra delay per try (additional to delay)
                     test, // called each try, timer stops if this returns true
                     failure, // called on failure
                     result // used internally, shouldn't be passed
            ) {

How may I reference the script tag that loaded the currently-executing script?

I was inserting script tags dynamically with this usual alternative to eval and simply set a global property currentComponentScript right before adding to the DOM.

  const old = el.querySelector("script")[0];
  const replacement = document.createElement("script");
  replacement.setAttribute("type", "module");
  replacement.appendChild(document.createTextNode(old.innerHTML));
  window.currentComponentScript = replacement;
  old.replaceWith(replacement);

Doesn't work in a loop though. The DOM doesn't run the scripts until the next macrotask so a batch of them will only see the last value set. You'd have to setTimeout the whole paragraph, and then setTimeout the next one after the previous finishes. I.e. chain the setTimeouts, not just call setTimeout multiple times in a row from a loop.

Get Element value with minidom with Python

It should just be

name[0].firstChild.nodeValue

What's the best way to loop through a set of elements in JavaScript?

Note that in some cases, you need to loop in reverse order (but then you can use i-- too).

For example somebody wanted to use the new getElementsByClassName function to loop on elements of a given class and change this class. He found that only one out of two elements was changed (in FF3).
That's because the function returns a live NodeList, which thus reflects the changes in the Dom tree. Walking the list in reverse order avoided this issue.

var menus = document.getElementsByClassName("style2");
for (var i = menus.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
  menus[i].className = "style1";
}

In increasing index progression, when we ask the index 1, FF inspects the Dom and skips the first item with style2, which is the 2nd of the original Dom, thus it returns the 3rd initial item!

How to inject Javascript in WebBrowser control?

Arrays.fill with multidimensional array in Java

how can I fill a multidimensional array in Java without using a loop?

Multidimensional arrays are just arrays of arrays and fill(...) doesn't check the type of the array and the value you pass in (this responsibility is upon the developer).

Thus you can't fill a multidimensional array reasonably well without using a loop.

Be aware of the fact that, unlike languages like C or C++, Java arrays are objects and in multidimensional arrays all but the last level contain references to other Array objects. I'm not 100% sure about this, but most likely they are distributed in memory, thus you can't just fill a contiguous block without a loop, like C/C++ would allow you to do.

Python xticks in subplots

See the (quite) recent answer on the matplotlib repository, in which the following solution is suggested:

  • If you want to set the xticklabels:

    ax.set_xticks([1,4,5]) 
    ax.set_xticklabels([1,4,5], fontsize=12)
    
  • If you want to only increase the fontsize of the xticklabels, using the default values and locations (which is something I personally often need and find very handy):

    ax.tick_params(axis="x", labelsize=12) 
    
  • To do it all at once:

    plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), fontsize=12, fontweight="bold", 
             horizontalalignment="left")`
    

Can you disable tabs in Bootstrap?

Most easy and clean solution to avoid this is adding onclick="return false;" to a tag.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
    <li class="active">
        <a href="#home" onclick="return false;">Home</a>
    </li>    
    <li>
        <a href="#ApprovalDetails" onclick="return false;">Approval Details</a>
    </li>
</ul>
  • Adding "cursor:no-drop;" just makes cursor look disabled, but is clickable, Url gets appending with href target for ex page.apsx#Home
  • No need of adding "disabled" class to <li> AND removing href

Incomplete type is not allowed: stringstream

Some of the system headers provide a forward declaration of std::stringstream without the definition. This makes it an 'incomplete type'. To fix that you need to include the definition, which is provided in the <sstream> header:

Difference between long and int data types

You're on a 32-bit machine or a 64-bit Windows machine. On my 64-bit machine (running a Unix-derivative O/S, not Windows), sizeof(int) == 4, but sizeof(long) == 8.

They're different types — sometimes the same size as each other, sometimes not.

(In the really old days, sizeof(int) == 2 and sizeof(long) == 4 — though that might have been the days before C++ existed, come to think of it. Still, technically, it is a legitimate configuration, albeit unusual outside of the embedded space, and quite possibly unusual even in the embedded space.)

Querying date field in MongoDB with Mongoose

{ "date" : "1000000" } in your Mongo doc seems suspect. Since it's a number, it should be { date : 1000000 }

It's probably a type mismatch. Try post.findOne({date: "1000000"}, callback) and if that works, you have a typing issue.

Android Canvas: drawing too large bitmap

This can be an issue with Glide. Use this while you are trying to load to many images and some of them are very large:

Glide.load("your image path")
                       .transform(
                               new MultiTransformation<>(
                                       new CenterCrop(),
                                       new RoundedCorners(
                                               holder.imgCompanyLogo.getResources()

                                       )
                               )
                       )

                       .into(holder.imgCompanyLogo);
           }

In C - check if a char exists in a char array

The less well-known but extremely useful (and standard since C89 — meaning 'forever') functions in the C library provide the information in a single call. Actually, there are multiple functions — an embarrassment of riches. The relevant ones for this are:

7.21.5.3 The strcspn function

Synopsis

#include <string.h>
size_t strcspn(const char *s1, const char *s2);

Description

The strcspn function computes the length of the maximum initial segment of the string pointed to by s1 which consists entirely of characters not from the string pointed to by s2.

Returns

The strcspn function returns the length of the segment.

7.21.5.4 The strpbrk function

Synopsis

#include <string.h>
char *strpbrk(const char *s1, const char *s2);

Description

The strpbrk function locates the first occurrence in the string pointed to by s1 of any character from the string pointed to by s2.

Returns

The strpbrk function returns a pointer to the character, or a null pointer if no character from s2 occurs in s1.

The question asks about 'for each char in string ... if it is in list of invalid chars'.

With these functions, you can write:

size_t len = strlen(test);
size_t spn = strcspn(test, "invald");

if (spn != len) { ...there's a problem... }

Or:

if (strpbrk(test, "invald") != 0) { ...there's a problem... }

Which is better depends on what else you want to do. There is also the related strspn() function which is sometimes useful (whitelist instead of blacklist).

Iterating through a JSON object

I would solve this problem more like this

import json
import urllib2

def last_song(user, limit):
    # Assembling strings with "foo" + str(bar) + "baz" + ... generally isn't 
    # as nice as using real string formatting. It can seem simpler at first, 
    # but leaves you less happy in the long run.
    url = 'http://gsuser.com/lastSong/%s/%d/' % (user, limit)

    # urllib.urlopen is deprecated in favour of urllib2.urlopen
    site = urllib2.urlopen(url)

    # The json module has a function load for loading from file-like objects, 
    # like the one you get from `urllib2.urlopen`. You don't need to turn 
    # your data into a string and use loads and you definitely don't need to 
    # use readlines or readline (there is seldom if ever reason to use a 
    # file-like object's readline(s) methods.)
    songs = json.load(site)

    # I don't know why "lastSong" stuff returns something like this, but 
    # your json thing was a JSON array of two JSON objects. This will 
    # deserialise as a list of two dicts, with each item representing 
    # each of those two songs.
    #
    # Since each of the songs is represented by a dict, it will iterate 
    # over its keys (like any other Python dict). 
    baby, feel_good = songs

    # Rather than printing in a function, it's usually better to 
    # return the string then let the caller do whatever with it. 
    # You said you wanted to make the output pretty but you didn't 
    # mention *how*, so here's an example of a prettyish representation
    # from the song information given.
    return "%(SongName)s by %(ArtistName)s - listen at %(link)s" % baby

Fit cell width to content

Setting CSS width to 1% or 100% of an element according to all specs I could find out is related to the parent. Although Blink Rendering Engine (Chrome) and Gecko (Firefox) at the moment of writing seems to handle that 1% or 100% (make a columns shrink or a column to fill available space) well, it is not guaranteed according to all CSS specifications I could find to render it properly.

'workbooks.worksheets.activate' works, but '.select' does not

You can't select a sheet in a non-active workbook.

You must first activate the workbook, then you can select the sheet.

workbooks("A").activate
workbooks("A").worksheets("B").select 

When you use Activate it automatically activates the workbook.

Note you can select >1 sheet in a workbook:

activeworkbook.sheets(array("sheet1","sheet3")).select

but only one sheet can be Active, and if you activate a sheet which is not part of a multi-sheet selection then those other sheets will become un-selected.

Check if string contains only whitespace

Here is an answer that should work in all cases:

def is_empty(s):
    "Check whether a string is empty"
    return not s or not s.strip()

If the variable is None, it will stop at not sand not evaluate further (since not None == True). Apparently, the strip()method takes care of the usual cases of tab, newline, etc.

Python's most efficient way to choose longest string in list?

def longestWord(some_list): 
    count = 0    #You set the count to 0
    for i in some_list: # Go through the whole list
        if len(i) > count: #Checking for the longest word(string)
            count = len(i)
            word = i
    return ("the longest string is " + word)

or much easier:

max(some_list , key = len)

How to replace NaN value with zero in a huge data frame?

In fact, in R, this operation is very easy:

If the matrix 'a' contains some NaN, you just need to use the following code to replace it by 0:

a <- matrix(c(1, NaN, 2, NaN), ncol=2, nrow=2)
a[is.nan(a)] <- 0
a

If the data frame 'b' contains some NaN, you just need to use the following code to replace it by 0:

#for a data.frame: 
b <- data.frame(c1=c(1, NaN, 2), c2=c(NaN, 2, 7))
b[is.na(b)] <- 0
b

Note the difference is.nan when it's a matrix vs. is.na when it's a data frame.

Doing

#...
b[is.nan(b)] <- 0
#...

yields: Error in is.nan(b) : default method not implemented for type 'list' because b is a data frame.

How to find the length of a string in R

Use stringi package and stri_length function

> stri_length(c("ala ma kota","ABC",NA))
[1] 11  3 NA

Why? Because it is the FASTEST among presented solutions :)

require(microbenchmark)
require(stringi)
require(stringr)
x <- c(letters,NA,paste(sample(letters,2000,TRUE),collapse=" "))
microbenchmark(nchar(x),str_length(x),stri_length(x))
Unit: microseconds
           expr    min     lq  median      uq     max neval
       nchar(x) 11.868 12.776 13.1590 13.6475  41.815   100
  str_length(x) 30.715 33.159 33.6825 34.1360 173.400   100
 stri_length(x)  2.653  3.281  4.0495  4.5380  19.966   100

and also works fine with NA's

nchar(NA)
## [1] 2
stri_length(NA)
## [1] NA

querySelector, wildcard element match?

I was messing/musing on one-liners involving querySelector() & ended up here, & have a possible answer to the OP question using tag names & querySelector(), with credits to @JaredMcAteer for answering MY question, aka have RegEx-like matches with querySelector() in vanilla Javascript

Hoping the following will be useful & fit the OP's needs or everyone else's:

// basically, of before:
var youtubeDiv = document.querySelector('iframe[src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Jk5lTqQzoKA"]')

// after     
var youtubeDiv = document.querySelector('iframe[src^="http://www.youtube.com"]');
// or even, for my needs
var youtubeDiv = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="youtube"]');

Then, we can, for example, get the src stuff, etc ...

console.log(youtubeDiv.src);
//> "http://www.youtube.com/embed/Jk5lTqQzoKA"
console.debug(youtubeDiv);
//> (...)

Is unsigned integer subtraction defined behavior?

The result of a subtraction generating a negative number in an unsigned type is well-defined:

  1. [...] A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting type. (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) §6.2.5/9)

As you can see, (unsigned)0 - (unsigned)1 equals -1 modulo UINT_MAX+1, or in other words, UINT_MAX.

Note that although it does say "A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow", which might lead you to believe that it applies only for exceeding the upper limit, this is presented as a motivation for the actual binding part of the sentence: "a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting type." This phrase is not restricted to overflow of the upper bound of the type, and applies equally to values too low to be represented.

Python class returning value

I think you are very confused about what is occurring.

In Python, everything is an object:

  • [] (a list) is an object
  • 'abcde' (a string) is an object
  • 1 (an integer) is an object
  • MyClass() (an instance) is an object
  • MyClass (a class) is also an object
  • list (a type--much like a class) is also an object

They are all "values" in the sense that they are a thing and not a name which refers to a thing. (Variables are names which refer to values.) A value is not something different from an object in Python.

When you call a class object (like MyClass() or list()), it returns an instance of that class. (list is really a type and not a class, but I am simplifying a bit here.)

When you print an object (i.e. get a string representation of an object), that object's __str__ or __repr__ magic method is called and the returned value printed.

For example:

>>> class MyClass(object):
...     def __str__(self):
...             return "MyClass([])"
...     def __repr__(self):
...             return "I am an instance of MyClass at address "+hex(id(self))
... 
>>> m = MyClass()
>>> print m
MyClass([])
>>> m
I am an instance of MyClass at address 0x108ed5a10
>>> 

So what you are asking for, "I need that MyClass return a list, like list(), not the instance info," does not make any sense. list() returns a list instance. MyClass() returns a MyClass instance. If you want a list instance, just get a list instance. If the issue instead is what do these objects look like when you print them or look at them in the console, then create a __str__ and __repr__ method which represents them as you want them to be represented.

Update for new question about equality

Once again, __str__ and __repr__ are only for printing, and do not affect the object in any other way. Just because two objects have the same __repr__ value does not mean they are equal!

MyClass() != MyClass() because your class does not define how these would be equal, so it falls back to the default behavior (of the object type), which is that objects are only equal to themselves:

>>> m = MyClass()
>>> m1 = m
>>> m2 = m
>>> m1 == m2
True
>>> m3 = MyClass()
>>> m1 == m3
False

If you want to change this, use one of the comparison magic methods

For example, you can have an object that is equal to everything:

>>> class MyClass(object):
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...             return True
... 
>>> m1 = MyClass()
>>> m2 = MyClass()
>>> m1 == m2
True
>>> m1 == m1
True
>>> m1 == 1
True
>>> m1 == None
True
>>> m1 == []
True

I think you should do two things:

  1. Take a look at this guide to magic method use in Python.
  2. Justify why you are not subclassing list if what you want is very list-like. If subclassing is not appropriate, you can delegate to a wrapped list instance instead:

    class MyClass(object):
        def __init__(self):
            self._list = []
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            return getattr(self._list, name)
    
        # __repr__ and __str__ methods are automatically created
        # for every class, so if we want to delegate these we must
        # do so explicitly
        def __repr__(self):
            return "MyClass(%s)" % repr(self._list)
        def __str__(self):
            return "MyClass(%s)" % str(self._list)
    

    This will now act like a list without being a list (i.e., without subclassing list).

    >>> c = MyClass()
    >>> c.append(1)
    >>> c
    MyClass([1])
    

How do I get a substring of a string in Python?

a="Helloo"
print(a[:-1])

In the above code, [:-1] declares to print from the starting till the maximum limit-1.

OUTPUT :

>>> Hello

Note: Here a [:-1] is also the same as a [0:-1] and a [0:len(a)-1]

a="I Am Siva"
print(a[2:])

OUTPUT:

>>> Am Siva

In the above code a [2:] declares to print a from index 2 till the last element.

Remember that if you set the maximum limit to print a string, as (x) then it will print the string till (x-1) and also remember that the index of a list or string will always start from 0.

Argument Exception "Item with Same Key has already been added"

To illustrate the problem you are having, let's look at some code...

Dictionary<string, string> test = new Dictionary<string, string>();

test.Add("Key1", "Value1");  // Works fine
test.Add("Key2", "Value2");  // Works fine
test.Add("Key1", "Value3");  // Fails because of duplicate key

The reason that a dictionary has a key/value pair is a feature so you can do this...

var myString = test["Key2"];  // myString is now Value2.

If Dictionary had 2 Key2's, it wouldn't know which one to return, so it limits you to a unique key.

How to scale down a range of numbers with a known min and max value

I came across this solution but this does not really fit my need. So I digged a bit in the d3 source code. I personally would recommend to do it like d3.scale does.

So here you scale the domain to the range. The advantage is that you can flip signs to your target range. This is useful since the y axis on a computer screen goes top down so large values have a small y.

public class Rescale {
    private final double range0,range1,domain0,domain1;

    public Rescale(double domain0, double domain1, double range0, double range1) {
        this.range0 = range0;
        this.range1 = range1;
        this.domain0 = domain0;
        this.domain1 = domain1;
    }

    private double interpolate(double x) {
        return range0 * (1 - x) + range1 * x;
    }

    private double uninterpolate(double x) {
        double b = (domain1 - domain0) != 0 ? domain1 - domain0 : 1 / domain1;
        return (x - domain0) / b;
    }

    public double rescale(double x) {
        return interpolate(uninterpolate(x));
    }
}

And here is the test where you can see what I mean

public class RescaleTest {

    @Test
    public void testRescale() {
        Rescale r;
        r = new Rescale(5,7,0,1);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(5) == 0);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(6) == 0.5);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(7) == 1);

        r = new Rescale(5,7,1,0);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(5) == 1);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(6) == 0.5);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(7) == 0);

        r = new Rescale(-3,3,0,1);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(-3) == 0);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(0) == 0.5);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(3) == 1);

        r = new Rescale(-3,3,-1,1);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(-3) == -1);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(0) == 0);
        Assert.assertTrue(r.rescale(3) == 1);
    }
}

Copying a HashMap in Java

In Java, when you write:

Object objectA = new Object();
Object objectB = objectA;

objectA and objectB are the same and point to the same reference. Changing one will change the other. So if you change the state of objectA (not its reference) objectB will reflect that change too.

However, if you write:

objectA = new Object()

Then objectB is still pointing to the first object you created (original objectA) while objectA is now pointing to a new Object.

How to get GMT date in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss in PHP

You don't have to repeat those format identifiers . For yyyy you just need to have Y, etc.

gmdate('Y-m-d h:i:s \G\M\T', time());

In fact you don't even need to give it a default time if you want current time

gmdate('Y-m-d h:i:s \G\M\T');  // This is fine for your purpose

How can I access my localhost from my Android device?

This is what worked for me, I added another line after the 127.0.0.1 ip to specify the exact local network ip address (not the public ip address) of the device I wanted to use. In my case my Samsung Galaxy S3

As suggested by Bangptit edit the httpd.conf file (x being the version numbers): C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.x.x\conf\httpd.conf

Search for the onlineoffline tag and add the ip of your phone (I found my phones ip address in my routers configuration pages):

onlineoffline tag - don't remove

 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny from all
 Allow from 127.0.0.1

my phones ip in the line below

 Allow from 192.168.1.65 
 Allow from ::1
 Allow from localhost

One could extend this to include an entire sub domain too for e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 etc

Storing Images in PostgreSQL

Quick update to mid 2015:

You can use the Postgres Foreign Data interface, to store the files in more suitable database. For example put the files in a GridFS which is part of MongoDB. Then use https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/mongo_fdw to access it in Postgres.

That has the advantages, that you can access/read/write/backup it in Postrgres and MongoDB, depending on what gives you more flexiblity.

There are also foreign data wrappers for file systems: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers#File_Wrappers

As an example you can use this one: https://multicorn.readthedocs.org/en/latest/foreign-data-wrappers/fsfdw.html (see here for brief usage example)

That gives you the advantage of the consistency (all linked files are definitely there) and all the other ACIDs, while there are still on the actual file system, which means you can use any file system you want and the webserver can serve them directly (OS caching applies too).

How to open child forms positioned within MDI parent in VB.NET?

Try Making the Child Form's StartPosition Property set to Center Parent. This you can select from the form Properties.

compilation error: identifier expected

You must to wrap your following code into a block (Either method or static).

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("What is your name?");
String name = in.readLine(); ;
System.out.println("Hello " + name);

Without a block you can only declare variables and more than that assign them a value in single statement.

For method main() will be best choice for now:

public class details {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

or If you want to use static block then...

public class details {
    static {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

or if you want to build another method then..

public class details {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        myMethod();
    }
    private static void myMethod(){
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

Also worry about exception due to BufferedReader .

github: server certificate verification failed

It can be also self-signed certificate, etc. Turning off SSL verification globally is unsafe. You can install the certificate so it will be visible for the system, but the certificate should be perfectly correct.

Or you can clone with one time configuration parameter, so the command will be:

git clone -c http.sslverify=false https://myserver/<user>/<project>.git;

GIT will remember the false value, you can check it in the <project>/.git/config file.

Basic Python client socket example

You might be confusing compilation from execution. Python has no compilation step! :) As soon as you type python myprogram.py the program runs and, in your case, tries to connect to an open port 5000, giving an error if no server program is listening there. It sounds like you are familiar with two-step languages, that require compilation to produce an executable — and thus you are confusing Python's runtime compilaint that “I can't find anyone listening on port 5000!” with a compile-time error. But, in fact, your Python code is fine; you just need to bring up a listener before running it!

How to resolve symbolic links in a shell script

"pwd -P" seems to work if you just want the directory, but if for some reason you want the name of the actual executable I don't think that helps. Here's my solution:

#!/bin/bash

# get the absolute path of the executable
SELF_PATH=$(cd -P -- "$(dirname -- "$0")" && pwd -P) && SELF_PATH=$SELF_PATH/$(basename -- "$0")

# resolve symlinks
while [[ -h $SELF_PATH ]]; do
    # 1) cd to directory of the symlink
    # 2) cd to the directory of where the symlink points
    # 3) get the pwd
    # 4) append the basename
    DIR=$(dirname -- "$SELF_PATH")
    SYM=$(readlink "$SELF_PATH")
    SELF_PATH=$(cd "$DIR" && cd "$(dirname -- "$SYM")" && pwd)/$(basename -- "$SYM")
done

Get distance between two points in canvas

If you have the coordinates, use the formula to calculate the distance:

If your platform supports the ** operator, you can instead use that:

const dist = Math.sqrt((x1 - x2) ** 2 + (y1 - y2) ** 2);

How to prevent going back to the previous activity?

How to skip going back to the previous activity?

Remove the previous Activity from Backstack. Simple

How to remove the previous Activity from Backstack?

Call finish() method

The Normal Flow:

enter image description here
All the activities are stored in a Stack known as Backstack.
When you start a new Activity(startActivity(...)) then the new Activity is pushed to top of the stack and when you press back button the Activity is popped from the stack.
One key point to note is that when the back button is pressed then finish(); method is called internally. This is the default behavior of onBackPressed() method.

So if you want to skip Activity B?

ie A<--- C

Just add finish(); method after your startActvity(...) in the Activity B

Intent i = new Intent(this, C.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();

Clearing the terminal screen?

It's not possible to clear the Serial Monitor window based on incoming serial data.

I can think of a couple of options, the simplest (and cheatiest) is to use println() with a fixed width string that you've generated that contains your sensor data.

The Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor's Autoscroll checkbox means if you persistently send the fixed width string (with 500ms delay perhaps) this will give the impression that it's updating once it gets to the bottom and starts scrolling. You could also shrink the height of the window to make it look like it only has one line.

To accomplish a fixed width string that's suitable for serial println() you'll need functions to convert your sensor values to strings, as well as pad/trim them to a persistent size. Then concatenate the values together (including separators if it makes the data easier to read)

An output of something similar to this is what i'm hinting at:

| 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7 | 1.8 |

All things considered, this isn't a great solution but it would get you a result.

A far smarter idea is to build another program outside of Arduino and it's IDE that listens to the com port for sensor values sent from the Arduino. Your Arduino program will need to send a message your external program can unambiguously interpret, something like 1=0.5; where 1 = sensor ID and 0.5 = sensor value. The external program would then keep these values (1 for each sensor). The external program can then display this information in whatever way you'd like, a nice console output would be relatively easy to achieve :-)

C# has .NET's serialport class which is a pleasure to use. (most of the time!)

Python has a module called pyserial, which is also easy great.

Either language will give you much greater control over console output, should you choose to proceed this way.

Concatenate a vector of strings/character

Here is a little utility function that collapses a named or unnamed list of values to a single string for easier printing. It will also print the code line itself. It's from my list examples in R page.

Generate some lists named or unnamed:

# Define Lists
ls_num <- list(1,2,3)
ls_str <- list('1','2','3')
ls_num_str <- list(1,2,'3')

# Named Lists
ar_st_names <- c('e1','e2','e3')
ls_num_str_named <- ls_num_str
names(ls_num_str_named) <- ar_st_names

# Add Element to Named List
ls_num_str_named$e4 <- 'this is added'

Here is the a function that will convert named or unnamed list to string:

ffi_lst2str <- function(ls_list, st_desc, bl_print=TRUE) {

  # string desc
  if(missing(st_desc)){
    st_desc <- deparse(substitute(ls_list))
  }

  # create string
  st_string_from_list = paste0(paste0(st_desc, ':'), 
                               paste(names(ls_list), ls_list, sep="=", collapse=";" ))

  if (bl_print){
    print(st_string_from_list)
  }
}

Testing the function with the lists created prior:

> ffi_lst2str(ls_num)
[1] "ls_num:=1;=2;=3"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_str)
[1] "ls_str:=1;=2;=3"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_num_str)
[1] "ls_num_str:=1;=2;=3"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_num_str_named)
[1] "ls_num_str_named:e1=1;e2=2;e3=3;e4=this is added"

Testing the function with subset of list elements:

> ffi_lst2str(ls_num_str_named[c('e2','e3','e4')])
[1] "ls_num_str_named[c(\"e2\", \"e3\", \"e4\")]:e2=2;e3=3;e4=this is added"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_num[2:3])
[1] "ls_num[2:3]:=2;=3"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_str[2:3])
[1] "ls_str[2:3]:=2;=3"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_num_str[2:4])
[1] "ls_num_str[2:4]:=2;=3;=NULL"
> ffi_lst2str(ls_num_str_named[c('e2','e3','e4')])
[1] "ls_num_str_named[c(\"e2\", \"e3\", \"e4\")]:e2=2;e3=3;e4=this is added"

Creating a class object in c++

Example example;

This is a declaration of a variable named example of type Example. This will default-initialize the object which involves calling its default constructor. The object will have automatic storage duration which means that it will be destroyed when it goes out of scope.

Example* example;

This is a declaration of a variable named example which is a pointer to an Example. In this case, default-initialization leaves it uninitialized - the pointer is pointing nowhere in particular. There is no Example object here. The pointer object has automatic storage duration.

Example* example = new Example();

This is a declaration of a variable named example which is a pointer to an Example. This pointer object, as above, has automatic storage duration. It is then initialized with the result of new Example();. This new expression creates an Example object with dynamic storage duration and then returns a pointer to it. So the example pointer is now pointing to that dynamically allocated object. The Example object is value-initialized which will call a user-provided constructor if there is one or otherwise initialise all members to 0.

Example* example = new Example;

This is similar to the previous line. The difference is that the Example object is default-initialized, which will call the default constructor of Example (or leave it uninitialized if it is not of class type).

A dynamically allocated object must be deleted (probably with delete example;).

TreeMap sort by value

polygenelubricants answer is almost perfect. It has one important bug though. It will not handle map entries where the values are the same.

This code:...

Map<String, Integer> nonSortedMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
nonSortedMap.put("ape", 1);
nonSortedMap.put("pig", 3);
nonSortedMap.put("cow", 1);
nonSortedMap.put("frog", 2);

for (Entry<String, Integer> entry  : entriesSortedByValues(nonSortedMap)) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey()+":"+entry.getValue());
}

Would output:

ape:1
frog:2
pig:3

Note how our cow dissapeared as it shared the value "1" with our ape :O!

This modification of the code solves that issue:

static <K,V extends Comparable<? super V>> SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> entriesSortedByValues(Map<K,V> map) {
        SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> sortedEntries = new TreeSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>(
            new Comparator<Map.Entry<K,V>>() {
                @Override public int compare(Map.Entry<K,V> e1, Map.Entry<K,V> e2) {
                    int res = e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue());
                    return res != 0 ? res : 1; // Special fix to preserve items with equal values
                }
            }
        );
        sortedEntries.addAll(map.entrySet());
        return sortedEntries;
    }

How to tell Jackson to ignore a field during serialization if its value is null?

This has been troubling me for quite some time and I finally found the issue. The issue was due to a wrong import. Earlier I had been using

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.annotation.JsonSerialize

Which had been deprecated. Just replace the import by

import org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.JsonSerialize;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate.JsonSerialize.Inclusion;

and use it as

@JsonSerialize(include=Inclusion.NON_NULL)

Mixing C# & VB In The Same Project

As others have said, you can't put both in one project. However, if you just have a small piece of C# or VB code that you want to include in a project in the other language, there are automatic conversion tools. They're not perfect, but they do most things pretty well. Also, SharpDevelop has a conversion utility built in.

Using NOT operator in IF conditions

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the ! operator in if..then..else statements.

The naming of variables, and in your example, methods is what is important. If you are using:

if(!isPerson()) { ... } // Nothing wrong with this

However:

if(!balloons()) { ... } // method is named badly

It all comes down to readability. Always aim for what is the most readable and you won't go wrong. Always try to keep your code continuous as well, for instance, look at Bill the Lizards answer.

MySQL: Get column name or alias from query

You could also use MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor. This turns your result set into a python list of python dictionaries, although it uses a special cursor, thus technically less portable than the accepted answer. Not sure about speed. Here's the edited original code that uses this.

#!/usr/bin/python -u

import MySQLdb
import MySQLdb.cursors

#===================================================================
# connect to mysql
#===================================================================

try:
    db = MySQLdb.connect(host='myhost', user='myuser', passwd='mypass', db='mydb', cursorclass=MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
except MySQLdb.Error, e:
    print 'Error %d: %s' % (e.args[0], e.args[1])
    sys.exit(1)

#===================================================================
# query select from table
#===================================================================

cursor = db.cursor()

sql = 'SELECT ext, SUM(size) AS totalsize, COUNT(*) AS filecount FROM fileindex GROUP BY ext ORDER BY totalsize DESC;'

cursor.execute(sql)
all_rows = cursor.fetchall()

print len(all_rows) # How many rows are returned.
for row in all_rows: # While loops always make me shudder!
    print '%s %s %s\n' % (row['ext'], row['totalsize'], row['filecount'])

cursor.close()
db.close()  

Standard dictionary functions apply, for example, len(row[0]) to count the number of columns for the first row, list(row[0]) for a list of column names (for the first row), etc. Hope this helps!

Javascript: Setting location.href versus location

You might set location directly because it's slightly shorter. If you're trying to be terse, you can usually omit the window. too.

URL assignments to both location.href and location are defined to work in JavaScript 1.0, back in Netscape 2, and have been implemented in every browser since. So take your pick and use whichever you find clearest.

Algorithm for solving Sudoku

Here is a much faster solution based on hari's answer. The basic difference is that we keep a set of possible values for cells that don't have a value assigned. So when we try a new value, we only try valid values and we also propagate what this choice means for the rest of the sudoku. In the propagation step, we remove from the set of valid values for each cell the values that already appear in the row, column, or the same block. If only one number is left in the set, we know that the position (cell) has to have that value.

This method is known as forward checking and look ahead (http://ktiml.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/constraints/propagation.html).

The implementation below needs one iteration (calls of solve) while hari's implementation needs 487. Of course my code is a bit longer. The propagate method is also not optimal.

List of special characters for SQL LIKE clause

Potential answer for SQL Server

Interesting I just ran a test using LinqPad with SQL Server which should be just running Linq to SQL underneath and it generates the following SQL statement.

Records .Where(r => r.Name.Contains("lkjwer--_~[]"))

-- Region Parameters
DECLARE @p0 VarChar(1000) = '%lkjwer--~_~~~[]%'
-- EndRegion
SELECT [t0].[ID], [t0].[Name]
FROM [RECORDS] AS [t0]
WHERE [t0].[Name] LIKE @p0 ESCAPE '~'

So I haven't tested it yet but it looks like potentially the ESCAPE '~' keyword may allow for automatic escaping of a string for use within a like expression.

Default string initialization: NULL or Empty?

For most software that isn't actually string-processing software, program logic ought not to depend on the content of string variables. Whenever I see something like this in a program:

if (s == "value")

I get a bad feeling. Why is there a string literal in this method? What's setting s? Does it know that logic depends on the value of the string? Does it know that it has to be lower case to work? Should I be fixing this by changing it to use String.Compare? Should I be creating an Enum and parsing into it?

From this perspective, one gets to a philosophy of code that's pretty simple: you avoid examining a string's contents wherever possible. Comparing a string to String.Empty is really just a special case of comparing it to a literal: it's something to avoid doing unless you really have to.

Knowing this, I don't blink when I see something like this in our code base:

string msg = Validate(item);
if (msg != null)
{
   DisplayErrorMessage(msg);
   return;
}

I know that Validate would never return String.Empty, because we write better code than that.

Of course, the rest of the world doesn't work like this. When your program is dealing with user input, databases, files, and so on, you have to account for other philosophies. There, it's the job of your code to impose order on chaos. Part of that order is knowing when an empty string should mean String.Empty and when it should mean null.

(Just to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass, I just searched our codebase for `String.IsNullOrEmpty'. All 54 occurrences of it are in methods that process user input, return values from Python scripts, examine values retrieved from external APIs, etc.)

How do I fix MSB3073 error in my post-build event?

Executing Batch File in C#

This should work. You could try to dump out the contents of the output and error streams in order to find out what's happening:

static void ExecuteCommand(string command)
{
    int exitCode;
    ProcessStartInfo processInfo;
    Process process;

    processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/c " + command);
    processInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    processInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    // *** Redirect the output ***
    processInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

    process = Process.Start(processInfo);
    process.WaitForExit();

    // *** Read the streams ***
    // Warning: This approach can lead to deadlocks, see Edit #2
    string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    string error = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();

    exitCode = process.ExitCode;

    Console.WriteLine("output>>" + (String.IsNullOrEmpty(output) ? "(none)" : output));
    Console.WriteLine("error>>" + (String.IsNullOrEmpty(error) ? "(none)" : error));
    Console.WriteLine("ExitCode: " + exitCode.ToString(), "ExecuteCommand");
    process.Close();
}

static void Main()
{
    ExecuteCommand("echo testing");
}   

* EDIT *

Given the extra information in your comment below, I was able to recreate the problem. There seems to be some security setting that results in this behaviour (haven't investigated that in detail).

This does work if the batch file is not located in C:\Windows\System32. Try moving it to some other location, e.g. the location of your executable. Note that keeping custom batch files or executables in the Windows directory is bad practice anyway.

* EDIT 2 * It turns out that if the streams are read synchronously, a deadlock can occur, either by reading synchronously before WaitForExit or by reading both stderr and stdout synchronously one after the other.

This should not happen if using the asynchronous read methods instead, as in the following example:

static void ExecuteCommand(string command)
{
    var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/c " + command);
    processInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    processInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    processInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

    var process = Process.Start(processInfo);

    process.OutputDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) =>
        Console.WriteLine("output>>" + e.Data);
    process.BeginOutputReadLine();

    process.ErrorDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) =>
        Console.WriteLine("error>>" + e.Data);
    process.BeginErrorReadLine();

    process.WaitForExit();

    Console.WriteLine("ExitCode: {0}", process.ExitCode);
    process.Close();
}

passing 2 $index values within nested ng-repeat

What about using this syntax (take a look in this plunker). I just discovered this and it's pretty awesome.

ng-repeat="(key,value) in data"

Example:

<div ng-repeat="(indexX,object) in data">
    <div ng-repeat="(indexY,value) in object">
       {{indexX}} - {{indexY}} - {{value}}
    </div>
</div>

With this syntax you can give your own name to $index and differentiate the two indexes.

Simple way to copy or clone a DataRow?

It seems you don't want to keep the whole DataTable as a copy, because you only need some rows, right? If you got a creteria you can specify with a select on the table, you could copy just those rows to an extra backup array of DataRow like

DataRow[] rows = sourceTable.Select("searchColumn = value");

The .Select() function got several options and this one e.g. can be read as a SQL

SELECT * FROM sourceTable WHERE searchColumn = value;

Then you can import the rows you want as described above.

targetTable.ImportRows(rows[n])

...for any valid n you like, but the columns need to be the same in each table.

Some things you should know about ImportRow is that there will be errors during runtime when using primary keys!

First I wanted to check whether a row already existed which also failed due to a missing primary key, but then the check always failed. In the end I decided to clear the existing rows completely and import the rows I wanted again.

The second issue did help to understand what happens. The way I'm using the import function is to duplicate rows with an exchanged entry in one column. I realized that it always changed and it still was a reference to the row in the array. I first had to import the original and then change the entry I wanted.

The reference also explains the primary key errors that appeared when I first tried to import the row as it really was doubled up.

Windows batch: call more than one command in a FOR loop?

SilverSkin and Anders are both correct. You can use parentheses to execute multiple commands. However, you have to make sure that the commands themselves (and their parameters) do not contain parentheses. cmd greedily searches for the first closing parenthesis, instead of handling nested sets of parentheses gracefully. This may cause the rest of the command line to fail to parse, or it may cause some of the parentheses to get passed to the commands (e.g. DEL myfile.txt)).

A workaround for this is to split the body of the loop into a separate function. Note that you probably need to jump around the function body to avoid "falling through" into it.

FOR /r %%X IN (*.txt) DO CALL :loopbody %%X
REM Don't "fall through" to :loopbody.
GOTO :EOF

:loopbody
ECHO %1
DEL %1
GOTO :EOF

Interview Question: Merge two sorted singly linked lists without creating new nodes

Here is the algorithm on how to merge two sorted linked lists A and B:

while A not empty or B not empty:
   if first element of A < first element of B:
      remove first element from A
      insert element into C
   end if
   else:
      remove first element from B
      insert element into C
end while

Here C will be the output list.

Appending to an existing string

Can I ask why this is important?

I know that this is not a direct answer to your question, but the fact that you are trying to preserve the object ID of a string might indicate that you should look again at what you are trying to do.

You might find, for instance, that relying on the object ID of a string will lead to bugs that are quite hard to track down.

I've been using something like this. Just set up a simple HTML page with an textinput. Make sure that the textinput always has focus. When you scan a barcode with your barcode scanner you will receive the code and after that a 'enter'. Realy simple then; just capture the incoming keystrokes and when the 'enter' comes in you can use AJAX to handle your code.

window.open(url, '_blank'); not working on iMac/Safari

Taken from the accepted answers comment by Steve on Dec 20, 2013:

Actually, there's a very easy way to do it: just click off "Block popup windows" in the iMac/Safari browser and it does what I want.

To clarify, when running Safari on Mac OS X El Capitan:

  1. Safari -> Preferences
  2. Security -> Uncheck 'Block pop-up windows'

How to replace NA values in a table for selected columns

You can do:

x[, 1:2][is.na(x[, 1:2])] <- 0

or better (IMHO), use the variable names:

x[c("a", "b")][is.na(x[c("a", "b")])] <- 0

In both cases, 1:2 or c("a", "b") can be replaced by a pre-defined vector.

Return generated pdf using spring MVC

You were on the right track with response.getOutputStream(), but you're not using its output anywhere in your code. Essentially what you need to do is to stream the PDF file's bytes directly to the output stream and flush the response. In Spring you can do it like this:

@RequestMapping(value="/getpdf", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<byte[]> getPDF(@RequestBody String json) {
    // convert JSON to Employee 
    Employee emp = convertSomehow(json);

    // generate the file
    PdfUtil.showHelp(emp);

    // retrieve contents of "C:/tmp/report.pdf" that were written in showHelp
    byte[] contents = (...);

    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_PDF);
    // Here you have to set the actual filename of your pdf
    String filename = "output.pdf";
    headers.setContentDispositionFormData(filename, filename);
    headers.setCacheControl("must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    ResponseEntity<byte[]> response = new ResponseEntity<>(contents, headers, HttpStatus.OK);
    return response;
}

Notes:

  • use meaningful names for your methods: naming a method that writes a PDF document showHelp is not a good idea
  • reading a file into a byte[]: example here
  • I'd suggest adding a random string to the temporary PDF file name inside showHelp() to avoid overwriting the file if two users send a request at the same time

Find the least number of coins required that can make any change from 1 to 99 cents

Solution with greedy approach in java is as below :

public class CoinChange {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int denominations[] = {1, 5, 10, 25};
        System.out.println("Total required coins are " + greeadApproach(53, denominations));
    }

    public static int greeadApproach(int amount, int denominations[]) {
        int cnt[] = new int[denominations.length];
        for (int i = denominations.length-1; amount > 0 && i >= 0; i--) {
            cnt[i] = (amount/denominations[i]);
            amount -= cnt[i] * denominations[i];            
        }
        int noOfCoins = 0;
        for (int cntVal : cnt) {
            noOfCoins+= cntVal;
        }
        return noOfCoins;
    }
}

But this works for single amount. If you want to run it for range, than we have to call it for each amount of range.

Where can I find the .apk file on my device, when I download any app and install?

All user installed apks are located in /data/app/, but you can only access this if you are rooted(afaik, you can try without root and if it doesn't work, rooting isn't hard. I suggest you search xda-developers for rooting instructions)

Use Root explorer or ES File Explorer to access /data/app/ (you have to keep going "up" until you reach the root directory /, kind of like C: in windows, before you can see the data directory(folder)). In ES file explorer you must also tick a checkbox in settings to allow going up to the root directory.

When you are in there you will see all your applications apks, though they might be named strangely. Just copy the wanted .apk and paste in the sd card, after that you can copy it to your computer and when you want to install it just open the .apk in a file manager (be sure to have install from unknown sources enabled in android settings). Even if you only want to send over bluetooth I would recommend copying it to the SD first.

PS Note that paid apps probably won't work being copied this way, since they usually check their licence online. PPS Installing an app this way may not link it with google play(you won't see it in my apps and it won't get updates).

MySQL Multiple Where Clause

This might be what you are after, although depending on how many style_id's there are, it would be tricky to implement (not sure if those style_id's are static or not). If this is the case, then it is not really possible what you are wanting as the WHERE clause works on a row to row basis.

WITH cte as (
  SELECT
    image_id,
    max(decode(style_id,24,style_value)) AS style_colour,
    max(decode(style_id,25,style_value)) AS style_size,
    max(decode(style_id,27,style_value)) AS style_shape
  FROM
    list
  GROUP BY
    image_id
)
SELECT
  image_id
FROM
  cte
WHERE
  style_colour = 'red'
  and style_size = 'big'
  and style_shape = 'round'

How do I import a pre-existing Java project into Eclipse and get up and running?

This assumes Eclipse and an appropriate JDK are installed on your system

  1. Open Eclipse and create a new Workspace by specifying an empty directory.
  2. Make sure you're in the Java perspective by selecting Window -> Open Perspective ..., select Other... and then Java
  3. Right click anywhere in the Package Explorer pane and select New -> Java Project
  4. In the dialog that opens give the project a name and then click the option that says "Crate project from existing sources."
  5. In the text box below the option you selected in Step 4 point to the root directory where you checked out the project. This should be the directory that contains "com"
  6. Click Finish. For this particular project you don't need to do any additional setup for your classpath since it only depends on classes that are part of the Java SE API.

How to get the process ID to kill a nohup process?

Today I met the same problem. And since it was a long time ago, I totally forgot which command I used and when. I tried three methods:

  1. Using the STIME shown in ps -ef command. This shows the time you start your process, and it's very likely that you nohup you command just before you close ssh(depends on you) . Unfortunately I don't think the latest command is the command I run using nohup, so this doesn't work for me.
  2. Second is the PPID, also shown in ps -ef command. It means Parent Process ID, the ID of process that creates the process. The ppid is 1 in ubuntu for process that using nohup to run. Then you can use ps --ppid "1" to get the list, and check TIME(the total CPU time your process use) or CMD to find the process's PID.
  3. Use lsof -i:port if the process occupy some ports, and you will get the command. Then just like the answer above, use ps -ef | grep command and you will get the PID.

Once you find the PID of the process, then can use kill pid to terminal the process.

How to prevent a dialog from closing when a button is clicked

Inspired by Tom's answer, I believe the idea here is:

  • Set the onClickListener during the creation of the dialog to null
  • Then set a onClickListener after the dialog is shown.

You can override the onShowListener like Tom. Alternatively, you can

  1. get the button after calling AlertDialog's show()
  2. set the buttons' onClickListener as follows (slightly more readable I think).

Code:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
// ...
final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
// now you can override the default onClickListener
Button b = dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        Log.i(TAG, "ok button is clicked");
        handleClick(dialog);
    }
});

Checking if a variable is an integer in PHP

When i start reading it i did notice that you guys forgot about abvious think like type of to check if we have int, string, null or Boolean. So i think gettype() should be as 1st answer. Explain: So if we have $test = [1,w2,3.45,sasd]; we start test it

foreach ($test as $value) {
        $check = gettype($value);
        if($check == 'integer'){
            echo "This var is int\r\n";
        }
        if($check != 'integer'){
            echo "This var is {$check}\r\n";
        }
}

And output:

> This var is int 
> This var is string 
> This var is double 
> This var is string

I think this is easiest way to check if our var is int, string, double or Boolean.

how to print float value upto 2 decimal place without rounding off

The only easy way to do this is to use snprintf to print to a buffer that's long enough to hold the entire, exact value, then truncate it as a string. Something like:

char buf[2*(DBL_MANT_DIG + DBL_MAX_EXP)];
snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%.*f", (int)sizeof buf, x);
char *p = strchr(buf, '.'); // beware locale-specific radix char, though!
p[2+1] = 0;
puts(buf);

Accessing Websites through a Different Port?

If your question is about IIS(or other server) configuration - yes, it's possible. All you need is to create ports mapping under your Default Site or Virtual Directory and assign specific ports to the site you need. For example it is sometimes very useful for web services, when default port is assigned to some UI front-end and you want to assign service to the same address but with different port.

    }
}

then you can use this:

  yourColor = yourColor.ChangeG(100);

Pass path with spaces as parameter to bat file

Use "%~1". %~1 alone removes surrounding quotes. However since you can't know whether the input parameter %1 has quotes or not, you should ensure by "%~1" that they are added for sure. This is especially helpful when concatenating variables, e.g. convert.exe "%~1.input" "%~1.output"

{% set connectTimeout = config.stackowerflow.connect.timeout | default(config.stackowerflow.timeout) | default(config.timeout) | default(42) -%}

Insert new column into table in sqlite?

I was facing the same problem and the second method proposed in the accepted answer, as noted in the comments, can be problematic when dealing with foreign keys.

My workaround is to export the database to a sql file making sure that the INSERT statements include column names. I do it using DB Browser for SQLite which has an handy feature for that. After that you just have to edit the create table statement and insert the new column where you want it and recreate the db.

In *nix like systems is just something along the lines of

cat db.sql | sqlite3 database.db

I don't know how feasible this is with very big databases, but it worked in my case.

Add new item in existing array in c#.net

Arrays in C# are immutable, e.g. string[], int[]. That means you can't resize them. You need to create a brand new array.

Here is the code for Array.Resize:

public static void Resize<T>(ref T[] array, int newSize)
{
    if (newSize < 0)
    {
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("newSize", Environment.GetResourceString("ArgumentOutOfRange_NeedNonNegNum"));
    }
    T[] sourceArray = array;
    if (sourceArray == null)
    {
        array = new T[newSize];
    }
    else if (sourceArray.Length != newSize)
    {
        T[] destinationArray = new T[newSize];
        Copy(sourceArray, 0, destinationArray, 0, (sourceArray.Length > newSize) ? newSize : sourceArray.Length);
        array = destinationArray;
    }
}

As you can see it creates a new array with the new size, copies the content of the source array and sets the reference to the new array. The hint for this is the ref keyword for the first parameter.

There are lists that can dynamically allocate new slots for new items. This is e.g. List<T>. These contain immutable arrays and resize them when needed (List<T> is not a linked list implementation!). ArrayList is the same thing without Generics (with Object array).

LinkedList<T> is a real linked list implementation. Unfortunately you can add just LinkListNode<T> elements to the list, so you must wrap your own list elements into this node type. I think its use is uncommon.

Remove all of x axis labels in ggplot

You have to set to element_blank() in theme() elements you need to remove

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = cut))+
  theme(axis.title.x=element_blank(),
        axis.text.x=element_blank(),
        axis.ticks.x=element_blank())

Pandas : compute mean or std (standard deviation) over entire dataframe

You could convert the dataframe to be a single column with stack (this changes the shape from 5x3 to 15x1) and then take the standard deviation:

df.stack().std()         # pandas default degrees of freedom is one

Alternatively, you can use values to convert from a pandas dataframe to a numpy array before taking the standard deviation:

df.values.std(ddof=1)    # numpy default degrees of freedom is zero

Unlike pandas, numpy will give the standard deviation of the entire array by default, so there is no need to reshape before taking the standard deviation.

A couple of additional notes:

  • The numpy approach here is a bit faster than the pandas one, which is generally true when you have the option to accomplish the same thing with either numpy or pandas. The speed difference will depend on the size of your data, but numpy was roughly 10x faster when I tested a few different sized dataframes on my laptop (numpy version 1.15.4 and pandas version 0.23.4).

  • The numpy and pandas approaches here will not give exactly the same answers, but will be extremely close (identical at several digits of precision). The discrepancy is due to slight differences in implementation behind the scenes that affect how the floating point values get rounded.

How to use OpenSSL to encrypt/decrypt files?

DO NOT USE OPENSSL DEFAULT KEY DERIVATION.

Currently the accepted answer makes use of it and it's no longer recommended and secure.

It is very feasible for an attacker to simply brute force the key.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2898.txt

PBKDF1 applies a hash function, which shall be MD2 [6], MD5 [19] or SHA-1 [18], to derive keys. The length of the derived key is bounded by the length of the hash function output, which is 16 octets for MD2 and MD5 and 20 octets for SHA-1. PBKDF1 is compatible with the key derivation process in PKCS #5 v1.5. PBKDF1 is recommended only for compatibility with existing applications since the keys it produces may not be large enough for some applications.

PBKDF2 applies a pseudorandom function (see Appendix B.1 for an example) to derive keys. The length of the derived key is essentially unbounded. (However, the maximum effective search space for the derived key may be limited by the structure of the underlying pseudorandom function. See Appendix B.1 for further discussion.) PBKDF2 is recommended for new applications.

Do this:

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 20000 -in hello -out hello.enc -k meow

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 20000 -in hello.enc -out hello.out

Note: Iterations in decryption have to be the same as iterations in encryption.

Iterations have to be a minimum of 10000. Here is a good answer on the number of iterations: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/3993

Also... we've got enough people here recommending GPG. Read the damn question.

    }
  }

Alternatively, if you want a more dynamic nav, you can look at the excellent v4 docs: https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/example/sidebar

Edit

A few people have asked about a page without the Nav, such as a login page. I typically approach it with a wrapper Route component

  import React from 'react';
  import { Link, Switch, Route } from 'react-router';
  import Nav from './nav';
  import Page1 from './page1';
  import Page2 from './page2';
  import Page3 from './page3';

  const NavRoute = ({exact, path, component: Component}) => (
    <Route exact={exact} path={path} render={(props) => (
      <div>
        <Header/>
        <Component {...props}/>
      </div>
    )}/>
  )

  export default class App extends React.Component {
    render() {    
      return (
        <div className="App">
          <Router>
              <Switch>
                <NavRoute exactly component={Landing} pattern="/" />
                <Route exactly component={Login} pattern="/login" />
                <NavRoute exactly component={Page1} pattern="/path1" />
                <NavRoute exactly component={Page2} pattern="/path2" />
                <NavRoute component={Page404} />
              </Switch>
          </Router>
        </div>
      );
    }
  }

Pass array to mvc Action via AJAX

If you're using ASP.NET Core MVC and need to handle the square brackets (rather than use the jQuery "traditional" option), the only option I've found is to manually build the IEnumerable in the contoller method.

string arrayKey = "p[]=";
var pArray = HttpContext.Request.QueryString.Value
    .Split('&')
    .Where(s => s.Contains(arrayKey))
    .Select(s => s.Substring(arrayKey.Length));

Regex expressions in Java, \\s vs. \\s+

First of all you need to understand that final output of both the statements will be same i.e. to remove all the spaces from given string.

However x.replaceAll("\\s+", ""); will be more efficient way of trimming spaces (if string can have multiple contiguous spaces) because of potentially less no of replacements due the to fact that regex \\s+ matches 1 or more spaces at once and replaces them with empty string.

So even though you get the same output from both it is better to use:

x.replaceAll("\\s+", "");

Initializing C# auto-properties

In the default constructor (and any non-default ones if you have any too of course):

public foo() {
    Bar = "bar";
}

This is no less performant that your original code I believe, since this is what happens behind the scenes anyway.

How can I create a copy of an Oracle table without copying the data?

Just use a where clause that won't select any rows:

create table xyz_new as select * from xyz where 1=0;

Limitations

The following things will not be copied to the new table:

  • sequences
  • triggers
  • indexes
  • some constraints may not be copied
  • materialized view logs

This also does not handle partitions


Is there a way to use max-width and height for a background image?

Unfortunately there's no min (or max)-background-size in CSS you can only use background-size. However if you are seeking a responsive background image you can use Vmin and Vmaxunits for the background-size property to achieve something similar.

example:

#one {
    background:url('../img/blahblah.jpg') no-repeat;
    background-size:10vmin 100%;
}

that will set the height to 10% of the whichever smaller viewport you have whether vertical or horizontal, and will set the width to 100%.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What's the difference between Docker Compose vs. Dockerfile

Dockerfile and Docker Compose are two different concepts in Dockerland. When we talk about Docker, the first things that come to mind are orchestration, OS level virtualization, images, containers, etc.. I will try to explain each as follows:

Image: An image is an immutable, shareable file that is stored in a Docker-trusted registry. A Docker image is built up from a series of read-only layers. Each layer represents an instruction that is being given in the image’s Dockerfile. An image holds all the required binaries to run.

enter image description here

Container: An instance of an image is called a container. A container is just an executable image binary that is to be run by the host OS. A running image is a container.

enter image description here

Dockerfile: A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all of the commands / build instructions, a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. This will be saved as a Dockerfile. (Note the lowercase 'f'.)

enter image description here

Docker-Compose: Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services (containers). Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. The Compose file would be saved as docker-compose.yml.

Pandas: Setting no. of max rows

It was already pointed in this comment and in this answer, but I'll try to give a more direct answer to the question:

from IPython.display import display
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

n = 100
foo = pd.DataFrame(index=range(n))
foo['floats'] = np.random.randn(n)

with pd.option_context("display.max_rows", foo.shape[0]):
    display(foo)

pandas.option_context is available since pandas 0.13.1 (pandas 0.13.1 release notes). According to this,

[it] allow[s] you to execute a codeblock with a set of options that revert to prior settings when you exit the with block.

Rollback one specific migration in Laravel

Migrate tables one by one.

Change the batch number of the migration you want to rollback to the highest.

Run migrate:rollback.

May not be the most comfortable way to deal with larger projects.

how to use #ifdef with an OR condition?

OR condition in #ifdef

#if defined LINUX || defined ANDROID
// your code here
#endif /* LINUX || ANDROID */

or-

#if defined(LINUX) || defined(ANDROID)
// your code here
#endif /* LINUX || ANDROID */

Both above are the same, which one you use simply depends on your taste.


P.S.: #ifdef is simply the short form of #if defined, however, does not support complex condition.


Further-

  • AND: #if defined LINUX && defined ANDROID
  • XOR: #if defined LINUX ^ defined ANDROID

DataSet panel (Report Data) in SSRS designer is gone

  • Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + D

Example

UIView with rounded corners and drop shadow?

This is how you do it, with rounded corners and rounded shadows without bothering with paths.

//Inner view with content
[imageView.layer setBorderColor:[[UIColor lightGrayColor] CGColor]];
[imageView.layer setBorderWidth:1.0f];
[imageView.layer setCornerRadius:8.0f];
[imageView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];

//Outer view with shadow
UIView* shadowContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:imageView.frame];
[shadowContainer.layer setMasksToBounds:NO];
[shadowContainer.layer setShadowColor:[[UIColor blackColor] CGColor]];
[shadowContainer.layer setShadowOpacity:0.6f];
[shadowContainer.layer setShadowRadius:2.0f];
[shadowContainer.layer setShadowOffset: CGSizeMake(0.0f, 2.0f)];

[shadowContainer addSubview:imageView];

The view with content, in my case a UIImageView, has a corner radius and therefore has to mask to bounds.

We create another equally sized view for the shadows, set it's maskToBounds to NO and then add the content view to the container view (e.g. shadowContainer).

How to search for occurrences of more than one space between words in a line

Simple solution:

/\s{2,}/

This matches all occurrences of one or more whitespace characters. If you need to match the entire line, but only if it contains two or more consecutive whitespace characters:

/^.*\s{2,}.*$/

If the whitespaces don't need to be consecutive:

/^(.*\s.*){2,}$/

What is the difference between substr and substring?

substring(startIndex, endIndex(not included))

substr(startIndex, how many characters)

const string = 'JavaScript';

console.log('substring(1,2)', string.substring(1,2)); // a
console.log('substr(1,2)', string.substr(1,2)); // av

How to get position of a certain element in strings vector, to use it as an index in ints vector?

To get a position of an element in a vector knowing an iterator pointing to the element, simply subtract v.begin() from the iterator:

ptrdiff_t pos = find(Names.begin(), Names.end(), old_name_) - Names.begin();

Now you need to check pos against Names.size() to see if it is out of bounds or not:

if(pos >= Names.size()) {
    //old_name_ not found
}

vector iterators behave in ways similar to array pointers; most of what you know about pointer arithmetic can be applied to vector iterators as well.

Starting with C++11 you can use std::distance in place of subtraction for both iterators and pointers:

ptrdiff_t pos = distance(Names.begin(), find(Names.begin(), Names.end(), old_name_));

What's the difference between a word and byte?

In fact, in common usage, word has become synonymous with 16 bits, much like byte has with 8 bits. Can get a little confusing since the "word size" on a 32-bit CPU is 32-bits, but when talking about a word of data, one would mean 16-bits. Microcontrollers with a 32-bit word size have taken to calling their instructions "longs" (supposedly to try and avoid the word/doubleword confusion).

How to write to files using utl_file in oracle

Here's an example of code which uses the UTL_FILE.PUT and UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE calls:

declare 
  fHandle  UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
begin
  fHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('my_directory', 'test_file', 'w');

  UTL_FILE.PUT(fHandle, 'This is the first line');
  UTL_FILE.PUT(fHandle, 'This is the second line');
  UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(fHandle, 'This is the third line');

  UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fHandle);
EXCEPTION
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Exception: SQLCODE=' || SQLCODE || '  SQLERRM=' || SQLERRM);
    RAISE;
end;

The output from this looks like:

This is the first lineThis is the second lineThis is the third line

When to use RSpec let()?

Note to Joseph -- if you are creating database objects in a before(:all) they won't be captured in a transaction and you're much more likely to leave cruft in your test database. Use before(:each) instead.

The other reason to use let and its lazy evaluation is so you can take a complicated object and test individual pieces by overriding lets in contexts, as in this very contrived example:

context "foo" do
  let(:params) do
     { :foo => foo,  :bar => "bar" }
  end
  let(:foo) { "foo" }
  it "is set to foo" do
    params[:foo].should eq("foo")
  end
  context "when foo is bar" do
    let(:foo) { "bar" }
    # NOTE we didn't have to redefine params entirely!
    it "is set to bar" do
      params[:foo].should eq("bar")
    end
  end
end

How to increase Bootstrap Modal Width?

I have also faced the same issue when increasing the width of the modal, the modal is not displaying in the centre. After playing around, I found the below solution.

    margin: 2rem auto;
}

Upvote if this works for you. Happy Coding!

iptables block access to port 8000 except from IP address

You can always use iptables to delete the rules. If you have a lot of rules, just output them using the following command.

iptables-save > myfile

vi to edit them from the commend line. Just use the "dd" to delete the lines you no longer want.

iptables-restore < myfile and you're good to go.  

REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DON'T CONFIGURE YOUR OS TO SAVE THE RULES TO A FILE AND THEN LOAD THE FILE DURING THE BOOT THAT YOUR RULES WILL BE LOST.

PostgreSQL - max number of parameters in "IN" clause?

As someone more experienced with Oracle DB, I was concerned about this limit too. I carried out a performance test for a query with ~10'000 parameters in an IN-list, fetching prime numbers up to 100'000 from a table with the first 100'000 integers by actually listing all the prime numbers as query parameters.

My results indicate that you need not worry about overloading the query plan optimizer or getting plans without index usage, since it will transform the query to use = ANY({...}::integer[]) where it can leverage indices as expected:

-- prepare statement, runs instantaneous:
PREPARE hugeplan (integer, integer, integer, ...) AS
SELECT *
FROM primes
WHERE n IN ($1, $2, $3, ..., $9592);

-- fetch the prime numbers:
EXECUTE hugeplan(2, 3, 5, ..., 99991);

-- EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for the EXECUTE:
"Index Scan using n_idx on primes  (cost=0.42..9750.77 rows=9592 width=5) (actual time=0.024..15.268 rows=9592 loops=1)"
"  Index Cond: (n = ANY ('{2,3,5,7, (...)"
"Execution time: 16.063 ms"

-- setup, should you care:
CREATE TABLE public.primes
(
  n integer NOT NULL,
  prime boolean,
  CONSTRAINT n_idx PRIMARY KEY (n)
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE public.primes
  OWNER TO postgres;

INSERT INTO public.primes
SELECT generate_series(1,100000);

However, this (rather old) thread on the pgsql-hackers mailing list indicates that there is still a non-negligible cost in planning such queries, so take my word with a grain of salt.

How to style SVG <g> element?

The style that you give the "g" element will apply the child elements, not the "g" element itself.

Add a rectangle element and position around the group you wish to style.

How do I return the SQL data types from my query?

There MUST be en easier way to do this... Low and behold, there is...!

"sp_describe_first_result_set" is your friend!

Now I do realise the question was asked specifically for SQL Server 2000, but I was looking for a similar solution for later versions and discovered some native support in SQL to achieve this.

In SQL Server 2012 onwards cf. "sp_describe_first_result_set" - Link to BOL

I had already implemented a solution using a technique similar to @Trisped's above and ripped it out to implement the native SQL Server implementation.

In case you're not on SQL Server 2012 or Azure SQL Database yet, here's the stored proc I created for pre-2012 era databases:

CREATE PROCEDURE [fn].[GetQueryResultMetadata] 
    @queryText VARCHAR(MAX)

    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    --SET NOCOUNT ON;

    PRINT @queryText;

    DECLARE

                    'SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #QueryMetadata FROM ('

                    @queryText
                    +
                    ') T;'
                    + '

Java, How to get number of messages in a topic in apache kafka

If you have access to server's JMX interface, the start & end offsets are present at:

kafka.log:type=Log,name=LogStartOffset,topic=TOPICNAME,partition=PARTITIONNUMBER
kafka.log:type=Log,name=LogEndOffset,topic=TOPICNAME,partition=PARTITIONNUMBER

(you need to replace TOPICNAME & PARTITIONNUMBER). Bear in mind you need to check for each of the replicas of given partition, or you need to find out which one of the brokers is the leader for a given partition (and this can change over time).

Alternatively, you can use Kafka Consumer methods beginningOffsets and endOffsets.

How to get PID by process name?

Since Python 3.5, subprocess.run() is recommended over subprocess.check_output():

>>> int(subprocess.run(["pidof", "-s", "your_process"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout)

Also, since Python 3.7, you can use the capture_output=true parameter to capture stdout and stderr:

>>> int(subprocess.run(["pidof", "-s", "your process"], capture_output=True).stdout)

Given an RGB value, how do I create a tint (or shade)?

Some definitions

  • A shade is produced by "darkening" a hue or "adding black"
  • A tint is produced by "ligthening" a hue or "adding white"

Creating a tint or a shade

Depending on your Color Model, there are different methods to create a darker (shaded) or lighter (tinted) color:

  • RGB:

    • To shade:

      newR = currentR * (1 - shade_factor)
      newG = currentG * (1 - shade_factor)
      newB = currentB * (1 - shade_factor)
      
    • To tint:

      newR = currentR + (255 - currentR) * tint_factor
      newG = currentG + (255 - currentG) * tint_factor
      newB = currentB + (255 - currentB) * tint_factor
      
    • More generally, the color resulting in layering a color RGB(currentR,currentG,currentB) with a color RGBA(aR,aG,aB,alpha) is:

      newR = currentR + (aR - currentR) * alpha
      newG = currentG + (aG - currentG) * alpha
      newB = currentB + (aB - currentB) * alpha
      

    where (aR,aG,aB) = black = (0,0,0) for shading, and (aR,aG,aB) = white = (255,255,255) for tinting

  • HSV or HSB:

    • To shade: lower the Value / Brightness or increase the Saturation
    • To tint: lower the Saturation or increase the Value / Brightness
  • HSL:
    • To shade: lower the Lightness
    • To tint: increase the Lightness

There exists formulas to convert from one color model to another. As per your initial question, if you are in RGB and want to use the HSV model to shade for example, you can just convert to HSV, do the shading and convert back to RGB. Formula to convert are not trivial but can be found on the internet. Depending on your language, it might also be available as a core function :

Comparing the models

  • RGB has the advantage of being really simple to implement, but:
    • you can only shade or tint your color relatively
    • you have no idea if your color is already tinted or shaded
  • HSV or HSB is kind of complex because you need to play with two parameters to get what you want (Saturation & Value / Brightness)
  • HSL is the best from my point of view:
    • supported by CSS3 (for webapp)
    • simple and accurate:
      • 50% means an unaltered Hue
      • >50% means the Hue is lighter (tint)
      • <50% means the Hue is darker (shade)
    • given a color you can determine if it is already tinted or shaded
    • you can tint or shade a color relatively or absolutely (by just replacing the Lightness part)

Accessing elements of Python dictionary by index

I know this is 8 years old, but no one seems to have actually read and answered the question.

You can call .values() on a dict to get a list of the inner dicts and thus access them by index.

>>> mydict = {
...  'Apple': {'American':'16', 'Mexican':10, 'Chinese':5},
...  'Grapes':{'Arabian':'25','Indian':'20'} }

>>>mylist = list(mydict.values())
>>>mylist[0]
{'American':'16', 'Mexican':10, 'Chinese':5},
>>>mylist[1]
{'Arabian':'25','Indian':'20'}

>>>myInnerList1 = list(mylist[0].values())
>>>myInnerList1

How to grep Git commit diffs or contents for a certain word?

To use boolean connector on regular expression:

git log --grep '[0-9]*\|[a-z]*'

This regular expression search for regular expression [0-9]* or [a-z]* on commit messages.

JavaScript equivalent to printf/String.Format

Just in case someone needs a function to prevent polluting global scope, here is the function that does the same:

  function _format (str, arr) {
    return str.replace(/{(\d+)}/g, function (match, number) {
      return typeof arr[number] != 'undefined' ? arr[number] : match;
    });
  };

What is HEAD in Git?

A branch is actually a pointer that holds a commit ID such as 17a5. HEAD is a pointer to a branch the user is currently working on.

HEAD has a reference filw which looks like this:

ref:

You can check these files by accessing .git/HEAD .git/refs that are in the repository you are working in.

How to generate auto increment field in select query

In the case you have no natural partition value and just want an ordered number regardless of the partition you can just do a row_number over a constant, in the following example i've just used 'X'. Hope this helps someone

select 
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY num ORDER BY col1) as aliascol1, 
    period_next_id, period_name_long
from 
(
  select distinct col1, period_name_long, 'X' as num
  from {TABLE} 
) as x

getResources().getColor() is deprecated

It looks like the best approach is to use:

ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.color_name)

eg:

yourView.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(applicationContext,
                            R.color.colorAccent))

This will choose the Marshmallow two parameter method or the pre-Marshmallow method appropriately.

Why doesn't JavaScript support multithreading?

JavaScript does not support multi-threading because the JavaScript interpreter in the browser is a single thread (AFAIK). Even Google Chrome will not let a single web page’s JavaScript run concurrently because this would cause massive concurrency issues in existing web pages. All Chrome does is separate multiple components (different tabs, plug-ins, etcetera) into separate processes, but I can’t imagine a single page having more than one JavaScript thread.

You can however use, as was suggested, setTimeout to allow some sort of scheduling and “fake” concurrency. This causes the browser to regain control of the rendering thread, and start the JavaScript code supplied to setTimeout after the given number of milliseconds. This is very useful if you want to allow the viewport (what you see) to refresh while performing operations on it. Just looping through e.g. coordinates and updating an element accordingly will just let you see the start and end positions, and nothing in between.

We use an abstraction library in JavaScript that allows us to create processes and threads which are all managed by the same JavaScript interpreter. This allows us to run actions in the following manner:

  • Process A, Thread 1
  • Process A, Thread 2
  • Process B, Thread 1
  • Process A, Thread 3
  • Process A, Thread 4
  • Process B, Thread 2
  • Pause Process A
  • Process B, Thread 3
  • Process B, Thread 4
  • Process B, Thread 5
  • Start Process A
  • Process A, Thread 5

This allows some form of scheduling and fakes parallelism, starting and stopping of threads, etcetera, but it will not be true multi-threading. I don’t think it will ever be implemented in the language itself, since true multi-threading is only useful if the browser can run a single page multi-threaded (or even more than one core), and the difficulties there are way larger than the extra possibilities.

Postgres password authentication fails

pg_hba.conf entry define login methods by IP addresses. You need to show the relevant portion of pg_hba.conf in order to get proper help.

Change this line:

host    all             all             <my-ip-address>/32        md5

To reflect your local network settings. So, if your IP is 192.168.16.78 (class C) with a mask of 255.255.255.0, then put this:

host    all             all             192.168.16.0/24        md5

Make sure your WINDOWS MACHINE is in that network 192.168.16.0 and try again.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0

I had this issue for 2 days, let me show you how I fixed it.

This was how the code looked when I was getting the error:

request.onload = function() {
    // This is where we begin accessing the Json
    let data = JSON.parse(this.response);
    console.log(data)
}

This is what I changed to get the result I wanted:

request.onload = function() {
    // This is where we begin accessing the Json
    let data = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
    console.log(data)
}

So all I really did was change this.response to this.responseText.

How can I get the list of files in a directory using C or C++?

This implementation realizes your purpose, dynamically filling an array of strings with the content of the specified directory.

int exploreDirectory(const char *dirpath, char ***list, int *numItems) {
    struct dirent **direntList;
    int i;
    errno = 0;

    if ((*numItems = scandir(dirpath, &direntList, NULL, alphasort)) == -1)
        return errno;

    if (!((*list) = malloc(sizeof(char *) * (*numItems)))) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error in list allocation for file list: dirpath=%s.\n", dirpath);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    for (i = 0; i < *numItems; i++) {
        (*list)[i] = stringDuplication(direntList[i]->d_name);
    }

    for (i = 0; i < *numItems; i++) {
        free(direntList[i]);
    }

    free(direntList);

    return 0;
}

Symfony - generate url with parameter in controller

make sure your controller extends Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

you should also check app/console debug:router in terminal to see what name symfony has named the route

in my case it used a minus instead of an underscore

i.e blog-show

$uri = $this->generateUrl('blog-show', ['slug' => 'my-blog-post']);

Swift: Determine iOS Screen size

In Swift 3.0

let screenSize = UIScreen.main.bounds
let screenWidth = screenSize.width
let screenHeight = screenSize.height

In older swift: Do something like this:

let screenSize: CGRect = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds

then you can access the width and height like this:

let screenWidth = screenSize.width
let screenHeight = screenSize.height

if you want 75% of your screen's width you can go:

let screenWidth = screenSize.width * 0.75

Swift 4.0

// Screen width.
public var screenWidth: CGFloat {
    return UIScreen.main.bounds.width
}

// Screen height.
public var screenHeight: CGFloat {
    return UIScreen.main.bounds.height
}

In Swift 5.0

let screenSize: CGRect = UIScreen.main.bounds

How to prevent tensorflow from allocating the totality of a GPU memory?

this code has worked for me:

import tensorflow as tf
config = tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto()
config.gpu_options.allow_growth = True
session = tf.compat.v1.InteractiveSession(config=config)

Change the background color in a twitter bootstrap modal?

It gets a little bit more complicated if you want to add the background to a specific modal. One way of solving that is to add and call something like this function instead of showing the modal directly:

function showModal(selector) {
    $(selector).modal('show');
    $('.modal-backdrop').addClass('background-backdrop');
}

Any css can then be applied to the background-backdrop class.

What is the meaning of "__attribute__((packed, aligned(4))) "

Before answering, I would like to give you some data from Wiki


Data structure alignment is the way data is arranged and accessed in computer memory. It consists of two separate but related issues: data alignment and data structure padding.

When a modern computer reads from or writes to a memory address, it will do this in word sized chunks (e.g. 4 byte chunks on a 32-bit system). Data alignment means putting the data at a memory offset equal to some multiple of the word size, which increases the system's performance due to the way the CPU handles memory.

To align the data, it may be necessary to insert some meaningless bytes between the end of the last data structure and the start of the next, which is data structure padding.


gcc provides functionality to disable structure padding. i.e to avoid these meaningless bytes in some cases. Consider the following structure:

typedef struct
{
     char Data1;
     int Data2;
     unsigned short Data3;
     char Data4;

}sSampleStruct;

sizeof(sSampleStruct) will be 12 rather than 8. Because of structure padding. By default, In X86, structures will be padded to 4-byte alignment:

typedef struct
{
     char Data1;
     //3-Bytes Added here.
     int Data2;
     unsigned short Data3;
     char Data4;
     //1-byte Added here.

}sSampleStruct;

We can use __attribute__((packed, aligned(X))) to insist particular(X) sized padding. X should be powers of two. Refer here

typedef struct
{
     char Data1;
     int Data2;
     unsigned short Data3;
     char Data4;

}__attribute__((packed, aligned(1))) sSampleStruct;  

so the above specified gcc attribute does not allow the structure padding. so the size will be 8 bytes.

If you wish to do the same for all the structures, simply we can push the alignment value to stack using #pragma

#pragma pack(push, 1)

//Structure 1
......

//Structure 2
......

#pragma pack(pop)

"Use of undeclared type" in Swift, even though type is internal, and exists in same module

In my case, this was caused by a subclass name being used in the very next line as a variable name with a different type:

var binGlow: pipGlow = pipGlow(style: "Bin")
var pipGlow: PipGlowSprite = PipGlowSprite()

Notice that in line 1, pipGlow is the name of the subclass (of SKShapeNode), but in line two, I was using pipGlow as a variable name. This was not only bad coding style, but apparently an outright no-no as well! Once I change the second line to:

var binGlow: pipGlow = pipGlow(style: "Bin")
var pipGlowSprite: PipGlowSprite = PipGlowSprite()

I no longer received the error. I hope this helps someone!

CSS Box Shadow Bottom Only

try this to get the box-shadow under your full control.

    <html>

    <head>
        <style> 
            div {
                width:300px;
                height:100px;
                background-color:yellow;
                box-shadow: 0 10px black inset,0 -10px red inset, -10px 0 blue inset, 10px 0 green inset;
           }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
        </div>
    </body>

    </html>

this would apply to outer box-shadow as well.

Best practices to test protected methods with PHPUnit

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring here:

I've used the __call hack with mixed degrees of success. The alternative I came up with was to use the Visitor pattern:

1: generate a stdClass or custom class (to enforce type)

2: prime that with the required method and arguments

3: ensure that your SUT has an acceptVisitor method which will execute the method with the arguments specified in the visiting class

4: inject it into the class you wish to test

5: SUT injects the result of operation into the visitor

6: apply your test conditions to the Visitor's result attribute
