How to make correct date format when writing data to Excel

This worked for me:

sheet.Cells[currentRow, ++currentColumn] = "'" + theDate.ToString("MM/dd/yy");

Note the tick mark added before the date.

How to get the current time in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:Sec.Millisecond format in Java?

To complement the above answers, here is a small working example of a program that prints the current time and date, including milliseconds.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class test {
    public static void main(String argv[]){
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
        Date now = new Date();
        String strDate = sdf.format(now);
        System.out.println(strDate);
    }
}

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

Try this

$str = '<option value="123">abc</option>
        <option value="123">aabbcc</option>';

preg_match_all("#<option.*?>([^<]+)</option>#", $str, $foo);

print_r($foo[1]);

Extension methods must be defined in a non-generic static class

Extension method should be inside a static class. So please add your extension method inside a static class.

so for example it should be like this

public static class myclass
    {
        public static Byte[] ToByteArray(this Stream stream)
        {
            Int32 length = stream.Length > Int32.MaxValue ? Int32.MaxValue : Convert.ToInt32(stream.Length);
            Byte[] buffer = new Byte[length];
            stream.Read(buffer, 0, length);
            return buffer;
        }

    }

Can I change the viewport meta tag in mobile safari on the fly?

in your <head>

<meta id="viewport"
      name="viewport"
      content="width=1024, height=768, initial-scale=0, minimum-scale=0.25" />

somewhere in your javascript

document.getElementById("viewport").setAttribute("content",
      "initial-scale=0.5; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;");

... but good luck with tweaking it for your device, fiddling for hours... and i'm still not there!

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.62.dylib error running php after installing node with brew on Mac

In my case, that happened because icu4c was upgraded to version 63 but my locally installed postgres image still referenced icu4c 62.1. Therefore i had to change the icu4c version used:

 brew info icu4c
 brew switch icu4c <version>

Where version is the the installed version returned by info

Convert a Unicode string to a string in Python (containing extra symbols)

Here is an example code

socket.error:[errno 99] cannot assign requested address and namespace in python

Stripping things down to basics this is what you would want to test with:

import socket
server = socket.socket() 
server.bind(("10.0.0.1", 6677)) 
server.listen(4) 
client_socket, client_address = server.accept()
print(client_address, "has connected")
while 1==1:
    recvieved_data = client_socket.recv(1024)
    print(recvieved_data)

This works assuming a few things:

Your local IP address (on the server) is 10.0.0.1 (This video shows you how)
No other software is listening on port 6677

Also note the basic concept of IP addresses:

Try the following, open the start menu, in the "search" field type cmd and press enter. Once the black console opens up type ping www.google.com and this should give you and IP address for google. This address is googles local IP and they bind to that and obviously you can not bind to an IP address owned by google.

With that in mind, you own your own set of IP addresses. First you have the local IP of the server, but then you have the local IP of your house. In the below picture 192.168.1.50 is the local IP of the server which you can bind to. You still own 83.55.102.40 but the problem is that it's owned by the Router and not your server. So even if you visit http://whatsmyip.com and that tells you that your IP is 83.55.102.40 that is not the case because it can only see where you're coming from.. and you're accessing your internet from a router.

enter image description here

In order for your friends to access your server (which is bound to 192.168.1.50) you need to forward port 6677 to 192.168.1.50 and this is done in your router. Assuming you are behind one.

If you're in school there's other dilemmas and routers in the way most likely.

Go build: "Cannot find package" (even though GOPATH is set)

In the recent go versions from 1.14 onwards, we have to do go mod vendor before building or running, since by default go appends -mod=vendor to the go commands. So after doing go mod vendor, if we try to build, we won't face this issue.

Determine if $.ajax error is a timeout

If your error event handler takes the three arguments (xmlhttprequest, textstatus, and message) when a timeout happens, the status arg will be 'timeout'.

Per the jQuery documentation:

Possible values for the second argument (besides null) are "timeout", "error", "notmodified" and "parsererror".

You can handle your error accordingly then.

I created this fiddle that demonstrates this.

$.ajax({
    url: "/ajax_json_echo/",
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    timeout: 1000,
    success: function(response) { alert(response); },
    error: function(xmlhttprequest, textstatus, message) {
        if(textstatus==="timeout") {
            alert("got timeout");
        } else {
            alert(textstatus);
        }
    }
});?

With jsFiddle, you can test ajax calls -- it will wait 2 seconds before responding. I put the timeout setting at 1 second, so it should error out and pass back a textstatus of 'timeout' to the error handler.

Hope this helps!

What is the best way to get the minimum or maximum value from an Array of numbers?

You have to loop through the array, no other way to check all elements. Just one correction for the code - if all elements are negative, maxValue will be 0 at the end. You should initialize it with the minimum possible value for integer.
And if you are going to search the array many times it's a good idea to sort it first, than searching is faster (binary search) and minimum and maximum elements are just the first and the last.

Padding or margin value in pixels as integer using jQuery

ok just to answer the original question:

you can get the padding as a usable integer like this:

var padding = parseInt($("myId").css("padding-top").replace("ems",""));

If you have defined another measurement like px just replace "ems" with "px". parseInt interprets the stringpart as a wrong value so its important to replace it with ... nothing.

JOptionPane - input dialog box program

After that you have to parse the results. Suppose results are in integers, then

int testint1 = Integer.parse(test1);

Similarly others should be parsed. Now the results should be checked for two higher marks in them, by using if statement After that take out the average.

Get top 1 row of each group

I know this is an old thread but the TOP 1 WITH TIES solutions is quite nice and might be helpful to some reading through the solutions.

select top 1 with ties
   DocumentID
  ,Status
  ,DateCreated
from DocumentStatusLogs
order by row_number() over (partition by DocumentID order by DateCreated desc)

More about the TOP clause can be found here.

Using only CSS, show div on hover over <a>

I would like to offer this general purpose template solution that expands on the correct solution provided by Yi Jiang's.

The additional benefits include:

support for hovering over any element type, or multiple elements;
the popup can be any element type or set of elements, including objects;
self-documenting code;
ensures the pop-up appears over the other elements;
a sound basis to follow if you are generating html code from a database.

In the html you place the following structure:

<div class="information_popup_container">
<div class="information">
<!-- The thing or things you want to hover over go here such as images, tables, 
     paragraphs, objects other divisions etc. --> 
</div>
<div class="popup_information">
<!-- The thing or things you want to popup go here such as images, tables, 
     paragraphs, objects other divisions etc. --> 
</div>
</div>

In the css you place the following structure:

div.information_popup_container {
position: absolute;
width:0px;
height:0px;
/* Position Information */
/* Appearance Information */
}
div.information_popup_container > div.information {
/* Position Information */
/* Appearance Information */
}
div.information_popup_container > div.popup_information {
position: fixed;
visibility: hidden;
/* Position Information */
/* Appearance Information */
}
div.information_popup_container > div.information:hover + div.popup_information {
visibility: visible;
z-index: 200;
}

A few points to note are:

Because the position of the div.popup is set to fixed (would also work with absolute) the content is not inside the normal flow of the document which allows the visible attribute to work well.
z-index is set to ensure that the div.popup appears above the other page elements.
The information_popup_container is set to a small size and thus cannot be hovered over.
This code only supports hovering over the div.information element. To support hovering over both the div.information and div.popup then see Hover Over The Popup below.
It has been tested and works as expected in Opera 12.16 Internet Explorer 10.0.9200, Firefox 18.0 and Google Chrome 28.0.15.

Hover Over The Popup

As additional information. When the popup contains information that you might want to cut and paste or contains an object that you might want to interact with then first replace:

div.information_popup_container > div.information:hover + div.popup_information {
visibility: visible;
z-index: 200;
}

with

div.information_popup_container > div.information:hover + div.popup_information 
,div.information_popup_container > div.popup_information:hover {
visibility: visible;
z-index: 200;
}

And second, adjust the position of div.popup so that there is an overlap with div.information. A few pixels is sufficient to ensure that the div.popup is can receive the hover when moving the cusor off div.information.

This does not work as expected with Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 and does work as expected with Opera 12.16, Firefox 18.0 and Google Chrome 28.0.15.

See fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/F68Le/ for a complete example with a popup multilevel menu.

How to install a certificate in Xcode (preparing for app store submission)

Under

Provisioning -> Distribution -> Distribution Provisioning Profiles

I downloaded the desired certificate again and installed it. Now I don't see an empty file in Xcode. The build also works now (no code sign error).

What I also did: I downloaded the WWDR and installed it, but I don't know if that was the reason (because I think it's always the same)

How to access the php.ini file in godaddy shared hosting linux

Create a new php.ini file with your desired settings and upload it to public_html folder of your Godaddy Hosting Account.

By default, Godaddy doesn't allow to edit it's existing php.ini file. However, you can always upload your own copy of your php.ini file with your own settings.

Below is an example of a simple php.ini file with some custom values:

max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

Copy a file from one folder to another using vbscripting

Try this. It will check to see if the file already exists in the destination folder, and if it does will check if the file is read-only. If the file is read-only it will change it to read-write, replace the file, and make it read-only again.

Const DestinationFile = "c:\destfolder\anyfile.txt"
Const SourceFile = "c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.txt"

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    'Check to see if the file already exists in the destination folder
    If fso.FileExists(DestinationFile) Then
        'Check to see if the file is read-only
        If Not fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes And 1 Then 
            'The file exists and is not read-only.  Safe to replace the file.
            fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
        Else 
            'The file exists and is read-only.
            'Remove the read-only attribute
            fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes = fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes - 1
            'Replace the file
            fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
            'Reapply the read-only attribute
            fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes = fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes + 1
        End If
    Else
        'The file does not exist in the destination folder.  Safe to copy file to this folder.
        fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
    End If
Set fso = Nothing

How to access JSON Object name/value?

The JSON you are receiving is in string. You have to convert it into JSON object You have commented the most important line of code

data = JSON.parse(data);

Or if you are using jQuery

data = $.parseJSON(data)

bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

Solved my issue in Ubuntu 14.04 OS with python 2.7.6, by adding below two lines into ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.bashrc in unix) files.

source "/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh"

export WORKON_HOME="/opt/virtual_env/"

And then executing both these lines onto the terminal.

Convert List to Pandas Dataframe Column

if your list looks like this: [1,2,3] you can do:

lst = [1,2,3]
df = pd.DataFrame([lst])
df.columns =['col1','col2','col3']
df

to get this:

    col1    col2    col3
0   1       2       3

alternatively you can create a column as follows:

import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.array([lst]).T)
df.columns =['col1']
df

to get this:

List comprehension on a nested list?

The best way to do this in my opinion is to use python's itertools package.

>>>import itertools
>>>l1 = [1,2,3]
>>>l2 = [10,20,30]
>>>[l*2 for l in itertools.chain(*[l1,l2])]
[2, 4, 6, 20, 40, 60]

Add resources, config files to your jar using gradle

By default any files you add to src/main/resources will be included in the jar.

If you need to change that behavior for whatever reason, you can do so by configuring sourceSets.

This part of the documentation has all the details

Return values from the row above to the current row

You can also use =OFFSET([@column];-1;0) if you are in a named table.

How to make sure that string is valid JSON using JSON.NET

I'm using this one:

  internal static bool IsValidJson(string data)
  {
     data = data.Trim();
     try
     {
        if (data.StartsWith("{") && data.EndsWith("}"))
        {
           JToken.Parse(data);
        }
        else if (data.StartsWith("[") && data.EndsWith("]"))
        {
           JArray.Parse(data);
        }
        else
        {
           return false;
        }
        return true;
     }
     catch
     {
        return false;
     }
  }

Retrieve filename from file descriptor in C

As Tyler points out, there's no way to do what you require "directly and reliably", since a given FD may correspond to 0 filenames (in various cases) or > 1 (multiple "hard links" is how the latter situation is generally described). If you do still need the functionality with all the limitations (on speed AND on the possibility of getting 0, 2, ... results rather than 1), here's how you can do it: first, fstat the FD -- this tells you, in the resulting struct stat, what device the file lives on, how many hard links it has, whether it's a special file, etc. This may already answer your question -- e.g. if 0 hard links you will KNOW there is in fact no corresponding filename on disk.

If the stats give you hope, then you have to "walk the tree" of directories on the relevant device until you find all the hard links (or just the first one, if you don't need more than one and any one will do). For that purpose, you use readdir (and opendir &c of course) recursively opening subdirectories until you find in a struct dirent thus received the same inode number you had in the original struct stat (at which time if you want the whole path, rather than just the name, you'll need to walk the chain of directories backwards to reconstruct it).

If this general approach is acceptable, but you need more detailed C code, let us know, it won't be hard to write (though I'd rather not write it if it's useless, i.e. you cannot withstand the inevitably slow performance or the possibility of getting != 1 result for the purposes of your application;-).

Alternative Windows shells, besides CMD.EXE?

Hard to copy and paste.

Not true. Enable QuickEdit, either in the properties of the shortcut, or in the properties of the CMD window (right-click on the title bar), and you can mark text directly. Right-click copies marked text into the clipboard. When no text is marked, a right-click pastes text from the clipboard.
Hard to resize the window.

True. Console2 (see below) does not have this limitation.
Hard to open another window (no menu options do this).

Not true. Use start cmd or define an alias if that's too much hassle:
```
doskey nw=start cmd /k $*
```
Seems to always start in C:\Windows\System32, which is super useless.

Not true. Or rather, not true if you define a start directory in the properties of the shortcut

or by modifying the AutoRun registry value. Shift-right-click on a folder allows you to launch a command prompt in that folder.
Weird scrolling. Sometimes it scrolls down really far into blank space, and you have to scroll up to where the window is actually populated

Never happened to me.

An alternative to plain CMD is Console2, which uses CMD under the hood, but provides a lot more configuration options.

TypeError: Cannot read property "0" from undefined

Looks like what you're trying to do is access property '0' of an undefined value in your 'data' array. If you look at your while statement, it appears this is happening because you are incrementing 'i' by 1 for each loop. Thus, the first time through, you will access, 'data[1]', but on the next loop, you'll access 'data[2]' and so on and so forth, regardless of the length of the array. This will cause you to eventually hit an array element which is undefined, if you never find an item in your array with property '0' which is equal to 'name'.

Ammend your while statement to this...

for(var iIndex = 1; iIndex <= data.length; iIndex++){
    if (data[iIndex][0] === name){
         break;
    };
    Logger.log(data[i][0]);
 };

How can I make my string property nullable?

string type is a reference type, therefore it is nullable by default. You can only use Nullable<T> with value types.

public struct Nullable<T> where T : struct

Which means that whatever type is replaced for the generic parameter, it must be a value type.

Programmatic equivalent of default(Type)

I do the same task like this.

//in MessageHeader 
   private void SetValuesDefault()
   {
        MessageHeader header = this;             
        Framework.ObjectPropertyHelper.SetPropertiesToDefault<MessageHeader>(this);
   }

//in ObjectPropertyHelper
   public static void SetPropertiesToDefault<T>(T obj) 
   {
            Type objectType = typeof(T);

            System.Reflection.PropertyInfo [] props = objectType.GetProperties();

            foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo property in props)
            {
                if (property.CanWrite)
                {
                    string propertyName = property.Name;
                    Type propertyType = property.PropertyType;

                    object value = TypeHelper.DefaultForType(propertyType);
                    property.SetValue(obj, value, null);
                }
            }
    }

//in TypeHelper
    public static object DefaultForType(Type targetType)
    {
        return targetType.IsValueType ? Activator.CreateInstance(targetType) : null;
    }

How to print a query string with parameter values when using Hibernate

Log4JDBC is a nice solution which prints the exact SQL going to the database with parameters in place rather than the most popular answer here which does not do this. One major convenience of this is that you can copy the SQL straight to your DB front-end and execute as is.

http://log4jdbc.sourceforge.net/

https://code.google.com/p/log4jdbc-remix/

The latter also outputs a tabular representation of query results.

Sample Output showing generated SQL with params in place together with result set table from query:

5. insert into ENQUIRY_APPLICANT_DETAILS (ID, INCLUDED_IN_QUOTE, APPLICANT_ID, TERRITORY_ID, ENQUIRY_ID, ELIGIBLE_FOR_COVER) values (7, 1, 11, 1, 2, 0)

Update 2016

Most recently I have now been using log4jdbc-log4j2 (https://code.google.com/archive/p/log4jdbc-log4j2/ ) with SLF4j and logback. Maven dependencies required for my set-up are as below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.bgee.log4jdbc-log4j2</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4jdbc-log4j2-jdbc4.1</artifactId>
    <version>1.16</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>${slf4j.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
    <version>${logback.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    <version>$logback.version}</version>
</dependency>

The Driver and DB Urls then look like:

database.driver.class=net.sf.log4jdbc.sql.jdbcapi.DriverSpy
database.url=jdbc:log4jdbc:hsqldb:mem:db_name #Hsql
#database.url=jdbc:log4jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_name

My logback.xml configuration file looks like the below: this outputs all SQL statements with parameters plus the resultset tables for all queries.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
            </pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <logger name="jdbc.audit" level="ERROR" />
    <logger name="jdbc.connection" level="ERROR" />
    <logger name="jdbc.sqltiming" level="ERROR" />
    <logger name="jdbc.resultset" level="ERROR" />

    <!-- UNCOMMENT THE BELOW TO HIDE THE RESULT SET TABLE OUTPUT -->
    <!--<logger name="jdbc.resultsettable" level="ERROR" /> -->

    <root level="debug">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>
</configuration>

Finally, I had to create a file named log4jdbc.log4j2.properties at the root of the classpath e.g. src/test/resources or src/main/resources in a Mevn project. This file has one line which is the below:

log4jdbc.spylogdelegator.name=net.sf.log4jdbc.log.slf4j.Slf4jSpyLogDelegator

The above will depend on your logging library. See the docs at https://code.google.com/archive/p/log4jdbc-log4j2 for further info

PHP DOMDocument loadHTML not encoding UTF-8 correctly

I am using php 7.3.8 on a manjaro and I was working with Persian content. This solved my problem:

$html = 'hi</b><p>????<div>?????9 ?';

add class with JavaScript

document.getElementsByClassName returns a node list. So you'll have to iterate over the list and bind the event to individual elements. Like this...

var buttons = document.getElementsByClassName("navButton");

for(var i = 0; i < buttons.length; ++i){
    buttons[i].onmouseover = function() {
        this.setAttribute("class", "active");
        this.setAttribute("src", "images/arrows/top_o.png");
    }
}

Stop embedded youtube iframe?

If anyone is still looking for the answer, i've solved it like so:

$("#photos").on("hide",function(){
    var leg=$('.videoPlayer').attr("src");
    $('.videoPlayer').attr("src",leg);
});

Where #photos is the ID of the modal and .videoPlayer is the class of the iframe. Basically it refreshes the src attribute (and stops playing the video). So,

    $('#myStopClickButton').click(function(){
      $('.yvideo').each(function(){
        var el_src = $(this).attr("src");
        $(this).attr("src",el_src);
      });
    });

should do the trick.

Python print statement “Syntax Error: invalid syntax”

In Python 3, print is a function, you need to call it like print("hello world").

How to convert answer into two decimal point

If you just want to print a decimal number with 2 digits after decimal point in specific format no matter of locals use something like this

dim d as double = 1.23456789
dim s as string = d.Tostring("0.##", New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"))

Split string into list in jinja?

You can’t run arbitrary Python code in jinja; it doesn’t work like JSP in that regard (it just looks similar). All the things in jinja are custom syntax.

For your purpose, it would make most sense to define a custom filter, so you could for example do the following:

The grass is {{ variable1 | splitpart(0, ',') }} and the boat is {{  splitpart(1, ',') }}
Or just:
The grass is {{ variable1 | splitpart(0) }} and the boat is {{  splitpart(1) }}

The filter function could then look like this:

def splitpart (value, index, char = ','):
    return value.split(char)[index]

An alternative, which might make even more sense, would be to split it in the controller and pass the splitted list to the view.

How do I get the type of a variable?

You can definitely go for typeid(x).name() where x is the variable name. It actually returns a const char pointer to the data type. Now, look at the following code.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n = 36;
    char c = 'A';
    double d = 1.2;
    if(*(typeid(n).name()) == 'i'){
        cout << "I am an Integer variable" << endl;
    }
    if(*((char *) typeid(d).name()) == 'd'){
        cout << "I am a Double variable" << endl;
    }
    if(*((char *) typeid(c).name()) == 'c'){
        cout << "I am a Char variable" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Notice how first and second both if works.

What does [object Object] mean?

[object Object] is the default toString representation of an object in javascript.

If you want to know the properties of your object, just foreach over it like this:

for(var property in obj) {
    alert(property + "=" + obj[property]);
}

In your particular case, you are getting a jQuery object. Try doing this instead:

$('#senddvd').click(function ()
{
   alert('hello');
   var a=whichIsVisible();
   alert(whichIsVisible().attr("id"));
});

This should alert the id of the visible element.

Change MySQL default character set to UTF-8 in my.cnf?

Under Xubuntu 12.04 I simply added

How can I determine installed SQL Server instances and their versions?

I had the same problem. The "osql -L" command displayed only a list of servers but without instance names (only the instance of my local SQL Sever was displayed). With Wireshark, sqlbrowser.exe (which can by found in the shared folder of your SQL installation) I found a solution for my problem.

The local instance is resolved by registry entry. The remote instances are resolved by UDP broadcast (port 1434) and SMB. Use "sqlbrowser.exe -c" to list the requests.

My configuration uses 1 physical and 3 virtual network adapters. If I used the "osql -L" command the sqlbrowser displayed a request from one of the virtual adaptors (which is in another network segment), instead of the physical one. osql selects the adpater by its metric. You can see the metric with command "route print". For my configuration the routing table showed a lower metric for teh virtual adapter then for the physical. So I changed the interface metric in the network properties by deselecting automatic metric in the advanced network settings. osql now uses the physical adapter.

How can I access an internal class from an external assembly?

Without access to the type (and no "InternalsVisibleTo" etc) you would have to use reflection. But a better question would be: should you be accessing this data? It isn't part of the public type contract... it sounds to me like it is intended to be treated as an opaque object (for their purposes, not yours).

You've described it as a public instance field; to get this via reflection:

object obj = ...
string value = (string)obj.GetType().GetField("test").GetValue(obj);

If it is actually a property (not a field):

string value = (string)obj.GetType().GetProperty("test").GetValue(obj,null);

If it is non-public, you'll need to use the BindingFlags overload of GetField/GetProperty.

Important aside: be careful with reflection like this; the implementation could change in the next version (breaking your code), or it could be obfuscated (breaking your code), or you might not have enough "trust" (breaking your code). Are you spotting the pattern?

Tab Escape Character?

For someone who needs quick reference of C# Escape Sequences that can be used in string literals:

\t Horizontal tab (ASCII code value: 9)

\n Line feed (ASCII code value: 10)

\r Carriage return (ASCII code value: 13)

\' Single quotation mark

\" Double quotation mark

\\ Backslash

\? Literal question mark

\x12 ASCII character in hexadecimal notation (e.g. for 0x12)

\x1234 Unicode character in hexadecimal notation (e.g. for 0x1234)

It's worth mentioning that these (in most cases) are universal codes. So \t is 9 and \n is 10 char value on Windows and Linux. But newline sequence is not universal. On Windows it's \n\r and on Linux it's just \n. That's why it's best to use Environment.Newline which gets adjusted to current OS settings. With .Net Core it gets really important.

Printing result of mysql query from variable

This will print out the query:

$query = "SELECT order_date, no_of_items, shipping_charge, SUM(total_order_amount) as test FROM `orders` WHERE DATE(`order_date`) = DATE(NOW()) GROUP BY DATE(`order_date`)";

$dave= mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
print $query;

This will print out the results:

$query = "SELECT order_date, no_of_items, shipping_charge, SUM(total_order_amount) as test FROM `orders` WHERE DATE(`order_date`) = DATE(NOW()) GROUP BY DATE(`order_date`)";

$dave= mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($dave)){
    foreach($row as $cname => $cvalue){
        print "$cname: $cvalue\t";
    }
    print "\r\n";
}

how do I check in bash whether a file was created more than x time ago?

I always liked using date -r /the/file +%s to find its age.

You can also do touch --date '2015-10-10 9:55' /tmp/file to get extremely fine-grained time on an arbitrary date/time.

Javascript Regexp dynamic generation from variables?

The RegExp constructor creates a regular expression object for matching text with a pattern.

    var pattern1 = ':\\(|:=\\(|:-\\(';
    var pattern2 = ':\\(|:=\\(|:-\\(|:\\(|:=\\(|:-\\(';
    var regex = new RegExp(pattern1 + '|' + pattern2, 'gi');
    str.match(regex);

Above code works perfectly for me...

How can I use a for each loop on an array?

Element needs to be a variant, so you can't declare it as a string. Your function should accept a variant if it is a string though as long as you pass it ByVal.

Public Sub example()
    Dim sArray(4) As string
    Dim element As variant

    For Each element In sArray
        do_something (element)
    Next element
End Sub


Sub do_something(ByVal e As String)

End Sub

The other option is to convert the variant to a string before passing it.

  do_something CStr(element)

$(document).on('click', '#id', function() {}) vs $('#id').on('click', function(){})

Consider following code

<ul id="myTask">
  <li>Coding</li>
  <li>Answering</li>
  <li>Getting Paid</li>
</ul>

Now, here goes the difference

// Remove the myTask item when clicked.
$('#myTask').children().click(function () {
  $(this).remove()
});

Now, what if we add a myTask again?

$('#myTask').append('<li>Answer this question on SO</li>');

Clicking this myTask item will not remove it from the list, since it doesn't have any event handlers bound. If instead we'd used .on, the new item would work without any extra effort on our part. Here's how the .on version would look:

$('#myTask').on('click', 'li', function (event) {
  $(event.target).remove()
});

Summary:

The difference between .on() and .click() would be that .click() may not work when the DOM elements associated with the .click() event are added dynamically at a later point while .on() can be used in situations where the DOM elements associated with the .on() call may be generated dynamically at a later point.

How can I reload .emacs after changing it?

Although M-x eval-buffer will work you may run into problems with toggles and other similar things. A better approach might be to "mark" or highlight whats new in your .emacs (or even scratch buffer if your just messing around) and then M-x eval-region. Hope this helps.

Difference between text and varchar (character varying)

character varying(n), varchar(n) - (Both the same). value will be truncated to n characters without raising an error.

character(n), char(n) - (Both the same). fixed-length and will pad with blanks till the end of the length.

text - Unlimited length.

Example:

Table test:
   a character(7)
   b varchar(7)

insert "ok    " to a
insert "ok    " to b

We get the results:

a        | (a)char_length | b     | (b)char_length
----------+----------------+-------+----------------
"ok     "| 7              | "ok"  | 2

OR condition in Regex

A classic "or" would be |. For example, ab|de would match either side of the expression.

However, for something like your case you might want to use the ? quantifier, which will match the previous expression exactly 0 or 1 times (1 times preferred; i.e. it's a "greedy" match). Another (probably more relyable) alternative would be using a custom character group:

\d+\s+[A-Z\s]+\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+

This pattern will match:

\d+: One or more numbers.
\s+: One or more whitespaces.
[A-Z\s]+: One or more uppercase characters or space characters
\s+: One or more whitespaces.
[A-Z][A-Za-z\s]+: An uppercase character followed by at least one more character (uppercase or lowercase) or whitespaces.

If you'd like a more static check, e.g. indeed only match ABC and A ABC, then you can combine a (non-matching) group and define the alternatives inside (to limit the scope):

\d (?:ABC|A ABC) Street

Or another alternative using a quantifier:

\d (?:A )?ABC Street

How to create a batch file to run cmd as administrator

(This is based on @DarkXphenomenon's answer, which unfortunately had some problems.)

You need to enclose your code within this wrapper:

if _%1_==_payload_  goto :payload

:getadmin
    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
    echo %~nx0: running payload with parameters:
    echo %*
    echo ---------------------------------------------------
    cd /d %2
    shift
    shift
    rem put your code here
    rem e.g.: perl myscript.pl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto :eof

This makes batch file run itself as elevated user. It adds two parameters to the privileged code:

word payload, to indicate this is payload call, i.e. already elevated. Otherwise it would just open new processes over and over.
directory path where the main script was called. Due to the fact that Windows always starts elevated cmd.exe in "%windir%\system32", there's no easy way of knowing what the original path was (and retaining ability to copy your script around without touching code)

Note: Unfortunately, for some reason shift does not work for %*, so if you need to pass actual arguments on, you will have to resort to the ugly notation I used in the example (%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9), which also brings in the limit of maximum of 9 arguments

How can I install a package with go get?

First, we need GOPATH

The $GOPATH is a folder (or set of folders) specified by its environment variable. We must notice that this is not the $GOROOT directory where Go is installed.

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

We used ~/gocode path in our computer to store the source of our application and its dependencies. The GOPATH directory will also store the binaries of their packages.

Then check Go env

You system must have $GOPATH and $GOROOT, below is my Env:

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/elpsstu/gocode"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/home/pravin/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/home/pravin/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

Now, you run download go package:

go get [-d] [-f] [-fix] [-t] [-u] [build flags] [packages]

Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies. For more details you can look here.

Using an attribute of the current class instance as a default value for method's parameter

It's written as:

def my_function(self, param_one=None): # Or custom sentinel if None is vaild
    if param_one is None:
        param_one = self.one_of_the_vars

And I think it's safe to say that will never happen in Python due to the nature that self doesn't really exist until the function starts... (you can't reference it, in its own definition - like everything else)

For example: you can't do d = {'x': 3, 'y': d['x'] * 5}

How to catch exception correctly from http.request()?

Perhaps you can try adding this in your imports:

  .subscribe(
    data => console.log(data),
    err => console.log(err),
    () => console.log('yay')
  );

Per comments:

What is the difference between a string and a byte string?

From What is Unicode:

Fundamentally, computers just deal with numbers. They store letters and other characters by assigning a number for each one.

......

Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language.

So when a computer represents a string, it finds characters stored in the computer of the string through their unique Unicode number and these figures are stored in memory. But you can't directly write the string to disk or transmit the string on network through their unique Unicode number because these figures are just simple decimal number. You should encode the string to byte string, such as UTF-8. UTF-8 is a character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters and it stores characters as bytes (it looks like this). So the encoded string can be used everywhere because UTF-8 is nearly supported everywhere. When you open a text file encoded in UTF-8 from other systems, your computer will decode it and display characters in it through their unique Unicode number. When a browser receive string data encoded UTF-8 from network, it will decode the data to string (assume the browser in UTF-8 encoding) and display the string.

In python3, you can transform string and byte string to each other:

>>> print('??'.encode('utf-8'))
b'\xe4\xb8\xad\xe6\x96\x87'
>>> print(b'\xe4\xb8\xad\xe6\x96\x87'.decode('utf-8'))
??

In a word, string is for displaying to humans to read on a computer and byte string is for storing to disk and data transmission.

Is it better to use C void arguments "void foo(void)" or not "void foo()"?

void foo(void) is better because it explicitly says: no parameters allowed.

void foo() means you could (under some compilers) send parameters, at least if this is the declaration of your function rather than its definition.

Return char[]/string from a function

If you want to return a char* from a function, make sure you malloc() it. Stack initialized character arrays make no sense in returning, as accessing them after returning from that function is undefined behavior.

change it to

char* createStr() {
    char char1= 'm';
    char char2= 'y';
    char *str = malloc(3 * sizeof(char));
    if(str == NULL) return NULL;
    str[0] = char1;
    str[1] = char2;
    str[2] = '\0';
    return str;
}

Maven Run Project

The above mentioned answers are correct but I am simplifying it for noobs like me.Go to your project's pom file. Add a new property exec.mainClass and give its value as the class which contains your main method. For me it was DriverClass in mainpkg. Change it as per your project.

Having done this navigate to the folder that contains your project's pom.xml and run this on the command prompt mvn exec:java. This should call the main method.

How to remove an HTML element using Javascript?

Calculating sum of repeated elements in AngularJS ng-repeat

Simple Solution

Here is a simple solution. No additional for loop required.

HTML part

         <table ng-init="ResetTotalAmt()">
                <tr>
                    <th>Product</th>
                    <th>Quantity</th>
                    <th>Price</th>
                </tr>

                <tr ng-repeat="product in cart.products">
                    <td ng-init="CalculateSum(product)">{{product.name}}</td>
                    <td>{{product.quantity}}</td>
                    <td>{{product.price * product.quantity}} €</td>
                </tr>

                <tr>
                    <td></td>
                    <td>Total :</td>
                    <td>{{cart.TotalAmt}}</td> // Here is the total value of my cart
                </tr>

           </table>

Script Part

 $scope.cart.TotalAmt = 0;
 $scope.CalculateSum= function (product) {
   $scope.cart.TotalAmt += (product.price * product.quantity);
 }
//It is enough to Write code $scope.cart.TotalAmt =0; in the function where the cart.products get allocated value. 
$scope.ResetTotalAmt = function (product) {
   $scope.cart.TotalAmt =0;
 }

CSS selectors ul li a {...} vs ul > li > a {...}

1) for example HTML code:

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="#">firstlink</a>
        <span><a href="#">second link&lt;/a>
    </li>
</ul>

and css rules:

1) ul li a {color:red;} 
2) ul > li > a {color:blue;}

">" - symbol mean that that will be searching only child selector (parentTag > childTag)

so first css rule will apply to all links (first and second) and second rule will apply anly to first link

2) As for efficiency - I think second will be more fast - as in case with JavaScript selectors. This rule read from right to left, this mean that when rule will parse by browser, it get all links on page: - in first case it will find all parent elements for each link on page and filter all links where exist parent tags "ul" and "li" - in second case it will check only parent node of link if it is "li" tag then -> check if parent tag of "li" is "ul"

some thing like this. Hope I describe all properly for you

Reading file input from a multipart/form-data POST

I have dealt WCF with large file (serveral GB) upload where store data in memory is not an option. My solution is to store message stream to a temp file and use seek to find out begin and end of binary data.

How do I grant myself admin access to a local SQL Server instance?

Here's a script that claims to be able to fix this.

Get admin rights to your local SQL Server Express with this simple script

Download link to the script

Description

This command script allows you to easily add yourself to the sysadmin role of a local SQL Server instance. You must be a member of the Windows local Administrators group, or have access to the credentials of a user who is. The script supports SQL Server 2005 and later.

The script is most useful if you are a developer trying to use SQL Server 2008 Express that was installed by someone else. In this situation you usually won't have admin rights to the SQL Server 2008 Express instance, since by default only the person installing SQL Server 2008 is granted administrative privileges.

The user who installed SQL Server 2008 Express can use SQL Server Management Studio to grant the necessary privileges to you. But what if SQL Server Management Studio was not installed? Or worse if the installing user is not available anymore?

This script fixes the problem in just a few clicks!

Note: You will need to provide the BAT file with an 'Instance Name' (Probably going to be 'MSSQLSERVER' - but it might not be): you can get the value by first running the following in the "Microsoft SQL Server Management Console":

 SELECT @@servicename

Then copy the result to use when the BAT file prompts for 'SQL instance name'.

How to maximize a plt.show() window using Python

Ok so this is what worked for me. I did the whole showMaximize() option and it does resize your window in proportion to the size of the figure, but it does not expand and 'fit' the canvas. I solved this by:

mng = plt.get_current_fig_manager()                                         
mng.window.showMaximized()
plt.tight_layout()    
plt.savefig('Images/SAVES_PIC_AS_PDF.pdf') 

plt.show()

Credit card expiration dates - Inclusive or exclusive?

In your example a credit card is expired on 6/2008.

Without knowing what you are doing I cannot say definitively you should not be validating ahead of time but be aware that sometimes business rules defy all logic.

For example, where I used to work they often did not process a card at all or would continue on transaction failure simply so they could contact the customer and get a different card.

git rebase merge conflict

If you have a lot of commits to rebase, and some part of them are giving conflicts, that really hurts. But I can suggest a less-known approach how to "squash all the conflicts".

First, checkout temp branch and start standard merge

git checkout -b temp
git merge origin/master

You will have to resolve conflicts, but only once and only real ones. Then stage all files and finish merge.

git commit -m "Merge branch 'origin/master' into 'temp'"

Then return to your branch (let it be alpha) and start rebase, but with automatical resolving any conflicts.

git checkout alpha
git rebase origin/master -X theirs

Branch has been rebased, but project is probably in invalid state. That's OK, we have one final step. We just need to restore project state, so it will be exact as on branch 'temp'. Technically we just need to copy its tree (folder state) via low-level command git commit-tree. Plus merging into current branch just created commit.

git merge --ff $(git commit-tree temp^{tree} -m "Fix after rebase" -p HEAD)

And delete temporary branch

git branch -D temp

That's all. We did a rebase via hidden merge.

Also I wrote a script, so that can be done in a dialog manner, you can find it here.

Does Java support default parameter values?

Unfortunately, yes.

void MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, bool param3=false) {}

could be written in Java 1.5 as:

void MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, Boolean... params) {
    assert params.length <= 1;
    bool param3 = params.length > 0 ? params[0].booleanValue() : false;
}

But whether or not you should depend on how you feel about the compiler generating a

new Boolean[]{}

for each call.

For multiple defaultable parameters:

void MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, bool param3=false, int param4=42) {}

could be written in Java 1.5 as:

void MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, Object... p) {
    int l = p.length;
    assert l <= 2;
    assert l < 1 || Boolean.class.isInstance(p[0]);
    assert l < 2 || Integer.class.isInstance(p[1]);
    bool param3 = l > 0 && p[0] != null ? ((Boolean)p[0]).booleanValue() : false;
    int param4 = l > 1 && p[1] != null ? ((Integer)p[1]).intValue() : 42;
}

This matches C++ syntax, which only allows defaulted parameters at the end of the parameter list.

Beyond syntax, there is a difference where this has run time type checking for passed defaultable parameters and C++ type checks them during compile.

Why do you need to put #!/bin/bash at the beginning of a script file?

To be more precise the shebang #!, when it is the first two bytes of an executable (x mode) file, is interpreted by the execve(2) system call (which execute programs). But POSIX specification for execve don't mention the shebang.

It must be followed by a file path of an interpreter executable (which BTW could even be relative, but most often is absolute).

A nice trick (or perhaps not so nice one) to find an interpreter (e.g. python) in the user's $PATH is to use the env program (always at /usr/bin/env on all Linux) like e.g.

 #!/usr/bin/env python

Any ELF executable can be an interpreter. You could even use #!/bin/cat or #!/bin/true if you wanted to! (but that would be often useless)

'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

After setting the path with the Maven bin location close the prompt window and restart it. Use the echo %path% command to make sure the path is set with Maven variables then run the command mvn -version. Somehow if the path is set when the prompt window is running it does not pick the new variables.

How to access a mobile's camera from a web app?

I don't think you can - there is a W3C draft API to get audio or video, but there is no implementation yet on any of the major mobile OSs.

~~Second best~~ The only option is to go with Dennis' suggestion to use PhoneGap. This will mean you need to create a native app and add it to the mobile app store/marketplace.

How do I "un-revert" a reverted Git commit?

Or you could git checkout -b <new-branch> and git cherry-pick <commit> the before to the and git rebase to drop revert commit. send pull request like before.

Get nodes where child node contains an attribute

Years later, but a useful option would be to utilize XPath Axes (https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_axes.asp). More specifically, you are looking to use the descendants axes.

I believe this example would do the trick:

//book[descendant::title[@lang='it']]

This allows you to select all book elements that contain a child title element (regardless of how deep it is nested) containing language attribute value equal to 'it'.

I cannot say for sure whether or not this answer is relevant to the year 2009 as I am not 100% certain that the XPath Axes existed at that time. What I can confirm is that they do exist today and I have found them to be extremely useful in XPath navigation and I am sure you will as well.

Using C# to read/write Excel files (.xls/.xlsx)

I'm a big fan of using EPPlus to perform these types of actions. EPPlus is a library you can reference in your project and easily create/modify spreadsheets on a server. I use it for any project that requires an export function.

Here's a nice blog entry that shows how to use the library, though the library itself should come with some samples that explain how to use it.

Third party libraries are a lot easier to use than Microsoft COM objects, in my opinion. I would suggest giving it a try.

Bootstrap carousel resizing image

i had this issue years back..but I got this. All you need to do is set the width and the height of the image to whatever you want..what i mean is your image in your carousel inner ...don't add the style attribut like "style:"(no not this) but something like this and make sure your codes ar correct its gonna work...Good luck

Convert string to JSON Object

Without eval:

Your original string was not an actual string.

jsonObj = "{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}"

The easiest way to to wrap it all with a single quote.

 jsonObj = '"{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "1","teamname" : "Barcelona"}]}"'

Then you can combine two steps to parse it to JSON:

 $.parseJSON(jsonObj.slice(1,-1))

Capture iOS Simulator video for App Preview

Taking a Screenshot or Recording a Video Using the Command Line

You can take a screenshot or record a video of the simulator window using the xcrun command-line utility.
Launch your app in Simulator.
Launch Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities), and enter the appropriate command:
To take a screenshot, use the screenshot operation:
xcrun simctl io booted screenshot
You can specify an optional filename at the end of the command.
To record a video, use the recordVideo operation:
xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo <filename>.<extension>
To stop recording, press Control-C in Terminal.

Note: You must specify a filename for recordVideo.
The default location for the created file is the current directory.

For more information on simctl, run this command in Terminal:
xcrun simctl help
For more information on the io subcommand of simctl, run this command:
xcrun simctl io help

How to get data from database in javascript based on the value passed to the function

The error is coming as your query is getting formed as

SELECT * FROM Employ where number = parseInt(val);

I dont know which DB you are using but no DB will understand parseInt.

What you can do is use a variable say temp and store the value of parseInt(val) in temp variable and make the query as

SELECT * FROM Employ where number = temp;

Expanding tuples into arguments

Similar to @Dominykas's answer, this is a decorator that converts multiargument-accepting functions into tuple-accepting functions:

apply_tuple = lambda f: lambda args: f(*args)

Example 1:

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

three = apply_tuple(add)((1, 2))

Example 2:

@apply_tuple
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

three = add((1, 2))

shared global variables in C

In the header file write it with extern. And at the global scope of one of the c files declare it without extern.

Can I add color to bootstrap icons only using CSS?

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

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

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

How to get HTTP response code for a URL in Java?

This is what worked for me:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

public class UrlHelpers {

    public static int getHTTPResponseStatusCode(String u) throws IOException {

        URL url = new URL(u);
        HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        return http.getResponseCode();
    }
}

Hope this helps someone :)

Using DNS to redirect to another URL with a path

Transpose/Unzip Function (inverse of zip)?

None of the previous answers efficiently provide the required output, which is a tuple of lists, rather than a list of tuples. For the former, you can use tuple with map. Here's the difference:

res1 = list(zip(*original))              # [('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), (1, 2, 3, 4)]
res2 = tuple(map(list, zip(*original)))  # (['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], [1, 2, 3, 4])

In addition, most of the previous solutions assume Python 2.7, where zip returns a list rather than an iterator.

For Python 3.x, you will need to pass the result to a function such as list or tuple to exhaust the iterator. For memory-efficient iterators, you can omit the outer list and tuple calls for the respective solutions.

How can I render HTML from another file in a React component?

You could do it if template is a react component.

Template.js

var React = require('react');

var Template = React.createClass({
    render: function(){
        return (<div>Mi HTML</div>);
    }
});

module.exports = Template;

MainComponent.js

var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var injectTapEventPlugin = require("react-tap-event-plugin");
var Template = require('./Template');

//Needed for React Developer Tools
window.React = React;

//Needed for onTouchTap
//Can go away when react 1.0 release
//Check this repo:
//https://github.com/zilverline/react-tap-event-plugin
injectTapEventPlugin();

var MainComponent = React.createClass({
    render: function() {
        return(
            <Template/>
        );
    }
});

// Render the main app react component into the app div.
// For more details see: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/top-level-api.html#react.render
ReactDOM.render(
  <MainComponent />,
  document.getElementById('app')
 );

And if you are using Material-UI, for compatibility use Material-UI Components, no normal inputs.

How to upload folders on GitHub

This is Web GUI of a GitHub repository:

Drag and drop your folder to the above area. When you upload too much folder/files, GitHub will notice you:

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

and add commit message

And press button Commit changes is the last step.

Android "hello world" pushnotification example

Update 2016:

GCM is being replaced with FCM

Update 2015:

Have a look at developers.android.com - Google replaced C2DM with GCM Demo Implementation / How To

Update 2014:

1) You need to check on the server what HTTP response you are getting from the Google servers. Make sure it is a 200 OK response, so you know the message was sent. If you get another response (302, etc) then the message is not being sent successfully.

2) You also need to check that the Registration ID you are using is correct. If you provide the wrong Registration ID (as a destination for the message - specifying the app, on a specific device) then the Google servers cannot successfully send it.

3) You also need to check that your app is successfully registering with the Google servers, to receive push notifications. If the registration fails, you will not receive messages.

First Answer 2014

Here is a good question you may should have a look at it: How to add a push notification in my own android app

Also here is a good blog with a really simple how to: http://blog.serverdensity.com/android-push-notifications-tutorial/

How to read/write from/to file using Go?

With newer Go versions, reading/writing to/from file is easy. To read from a file:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
)

func main() {
    data, err := ioutil.ReadFile("text.txt")
    if err != nil {
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(data))
}

To write to a file:

package main

import "os"

func main() {
    file, err := os.Create("text.txt")
    if err != nil {
        return
    }
    defer file.Close()

    file.WriteString("test\nhello")
}

This will overwrite the content of a file (create a new file if it was not there).

How to debug JavaScript / jQuery event bindings with Firebug or similar tools?

ev icon next to elements

Within the Firefox Developer Tools' Inspector panel lists all events bound to an element.

First select an element with Ctrl + Shift + C, e.g. Stack Overflow's upvote arrow.

Click on the ev icon to the right of the element, and a dialogue opens:

Click on the pause sign || symbol for the event you want, and this opens the debugger on the line of the handler.

You can now place a breakpoint there as usual in the debugger, by clicking on the left margin of the line.

This is mentioned at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Examine_event_listeners

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way for this to play nicely with prettyfication, it just seems to open at the minified line: How to beautify Javascript and CSS in Firefox / Firebug?

HttpListener Access Denied

Can I make it run without admin mode? if yes how? If not how can I make the app change to admin mode after start running?

You can't, it has to start with elevated privileges. You can restart it with the runas verb, which will prompt the user to switch to admin mode

static void RestartAsAdmin()
{
    var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("yourApp.exe") { Verb = "runas" };
    Process.Start(startInfo);
    Environment.Exit(0);
}

EDIT: actually, that's not true; HttpListener can run without elevated privileges, but you need to give permission for the URL on which you want to listen. See Darrel Miller's answer for details.

C++ vector's insert & push_back difference

The functions have different purposes. vector::insert allows you to insert an object at a specified position in the vector, whereas vector::push_back will just stick the object on the end. See the following example:

using namespace std;
vector<int> v = {1, 3, 4};
v.insert(next(begin(v)), 2);
v.push_back(5);
// v now contains {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

You can use insert to perform the same job as push_back with v.insert(v.end(), value).

Uploading multiple files using formData()

Adding [] when appending to fd works, but if you prefer to have your data grouped by file then I'd suggest doing it this way:

var files= document.getElementById('inpFile').files
var fd = new FormData()

for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
  fd.append(i, files[i])
}

Now your data will be sent grouped by file instead of grouped by attribute.

number several equations with only one number

How about something like:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}\label{A_Label}
  \begin{split}
    w^T x_i + b \geqslant 1-\xi_i \text{ if } y_i &= 1, \\
    w^T x_i + b \leqslant -1+\xi_i \text{ if } y_i &= -1
  \end{split}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

which produces:

SQL query for extracting year from a date

Edit: due to post-tag 'oracle', the first two queries become irrelevant, leaving 3rd query for oracle.

For MySQL:

SELECT YEAR(ASOFDATE) FROM PASOFDATE

Editted: In anycase if your date is a String, let's convert it into a proper date format. And select the year out of it.

SELECT YEAR(STR_TO_DATE(ASOFDATE, '%d-%b-%Y')) FROM PSASOFDATE

Since you are trying Toad, can you check the following code:

For Oracle:

SELECT EXTRACT (TO_DATE(YEAR, 'MM/DD/YY') FROM ASOFDATE) FROM PSASOFDATE;

Reference:

Uses for the '"' entity in HTML

It is likely because they used a single function for escaping attributes and text nodes. & doesn't do any harm so why complicate your code and make it more error-prone by having two escaping functions and having to pick between them?

How can one run multiple versions of PHP 5.x on a development LAMP server?

For testing I just run multiple instances of httpd on different IP addresses, so I have php7 running on 192.168.0.70 and php5.6 running on 192.168.0.56. In production I have a site running an old oscommerce running php5.3 and I just have a different conf file for the site

httpd -f /etc/apache2/php70.conf
httpd -f /etc/apache2/php53.conf

It's also a clean way to have different php.ini files for different sites. If you just have a couple of sites if a nice way to keep things organized and you don't have to worry about more then 1 site at a time when you upgrade something

conversion from infix to prefix

Algorithm ConvertInfixtoPrefix

Purpose: Convert an infix expression into a prefix expression. Begin 
// Create operand and operator stacks as empty stacks. 
Create OperandStack
Create OperatorStack

// While input expression still remains, read and process the next token.

while( not an empty input expression ) read next token from the input expression

    // push it to the operator stack
        OperatorStack.Push ( token )
    endif

    else if( token is ')' ) 
    // Continue to pop operator and operand stacks, building 
    // prefix expressions until left parentheses is found. 
    // Each prefix expression is push back onto the operand

    operand = operator + LeftOperand + RightOperand

    OperandStack.Push(operand) 
endwhile

// Save the prefix expression at the top of the operand stack followed by popping // the operand stack.

print OperandStack.Top()

OperandStack.Pop()

Select first occurring element after another element

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What's the purpose of git-mv?

git mv moves the file, updating the index to record the replaced file path, as well as updating any affected git submodules. Unlike a manual move, it also detects case-only renames that would not otherwise be detected as a change by git.

It is similar (though not identical) in behavior to moving the file externally to git, removing the old path from the index using git rm, and adding the new one to the index using git add.

Answer Motivation

This question has a lot of great partial answers. This answer is an attempt to combine them into a single cohesive answer. Additionally, one thing not called out by any of the other answers is the fact that the man page actually does mostly answer the question, but it's perhaps less obvious than it could be.

Detailed Explanation

Three different effects are called out in the man page:

The file, directory, or symlink is moved in the filesystem:

git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
The index is updated, adding the new path and removing the previous one:

The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be committed.
Moved submodules are updated to work at the new location:

Moving a submodule using a gitfile (which means they were cloned with a Git version 1.7.8 or newer) will update the gitfile and core.worktree setting to make the submodule work in the new location. It also will attempt to update the submodule.<name>.path setting in the gitmodules(5) file and stage that file (unless -n is used).

As mentioned in this answer, git mv is very similar to moving the file, adding the new path to the index, and removing the previous path from the index:

mv oldname newname
git add newname
git rm oldname

However, as this answer points out, git mv is not strictly identical to this in behavior. Moving the file via git mv adds the new path to the index, but not any modified content in the file. Using the three individual commands, on the other hand, adds the entire file to the index, including any modified content. This could be relevant when using a workflow which patches the index, rather than adding all changes in the file.

Additionally, as mentioned in this answer and this comment, git mv has the added benefit of handling case-only renames on file systems that are case-insensitive but case-preserving, as is often the case in current macOS and Windows file systems. For example, in such systems, git would not detect that the file name has changed after moving a file via mv Mytest.txt MyTest.txt, whereas using git mv Mytest.txt MyTest.txt would successfully update its name.

Why binary_crossentropy and categorical_crossentropy give different performances for the same problem?

when using the categorical_crossentropy loss, your targets should be in categorical format (e.g. if you have 10 classes, the target for each sample should be a 10-dimensional vector that is all-zeros except for a 1 at the index corresponding to the class of the sample).

Failed to connect to camera service

Few things:

Why are your use-permissions and use-features tags in your activity tag. Generally, permissions are included as direct children of your <manifest> tag. This could be part of the problem.
According to the android camera open documentation, a runtime exception is thrown:

if connection to the camera service fails (for example, if the camera is in use by another process or device policy manager has disabled the camera)

Have you tried checking if the camera is being used by something else or if your policy manager has some setting where the camera is turned off?
Don't forget the <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" /> for autofocus.

While I'm not sure if any of these will directly help you, I think they're worth investigating if for no other reason than to simply rule out. Due diligence if you will.

EDIT As mentioned in the comments below, the solution was to move the uses-permissions up to above the application tag.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

The only thing that worked for me was changing

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

android:screenOrientation="unspecified"

in the manifest for all translucent activities.

That way it is compatible with all API versions since the translucent activity seems to inherit its orientation from the parent activity as of targetApi: 28.

The style can be left as it is including <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>.

Calculating the angle between the line defined by two points

A few answers here have tried to explain the "screen" issue where top left is 0,0 and bottom right is (positive) screen width, screen height. Most grids have the Y axis as positive above X not below.

The following method will work with screen values instead of "grid" values. The only difference to the excepted answer is the Y values are inverted.

/**

 *     |     2,2
 * </pre>
 * @param p1
 * @param p2
 * @return - a double from 0 to 360
 */
public static double angleOf(PointF p1, PointF p2) {
    // NOTE: Remember that most math has the Y axis as positive above the X.
    // However, for screens we have Y as positive below. For this reason, 
    // the Y values are inverted to get the expected results.
    final double deltaY = (p1.y - p2.y);
    final double deltaX = (p2.x - p1.x);
    final double result = Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(deltaY, deltaX));

Copying data from one SQLite database to another

First scenario: DB1.sqlite and DB2.sqlite have the same table(t1), but DB1 is more "up to date" than DB2. If it's small, drop the table from DB2 and recreate it with the data:

> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS db2.t1; CREATE TABLE db2.t1 AS SELECT * FROM db1.t1;

Second scenario: If it's a large table, you may be better off with an INSERT if not exists type solution. If you have a Unique Key column it's more straight forward, otherwise you'd need to use a combination of fields (maybe every field) and at some point it's still faster to just drop and re-create the table; it's always more straight forward (less thinking required).

THE SETUP: open SQLite without a DB which creates a temporary in memory main database, then attach DB1.sqlite and DB2.sqlite

> sqlite3
sqlite> ATTACH "DB1.sqlite" AS db1
sqlite> ATTACH "DB2.sqlite" AS db2

and use .databases to see the attached databases and their files.

sqlite> .databases
main: 
db1: /db/DB1.sqlite
db2: /db/DB2.sqlite

Set encoding and fileencoding to utf-8 in Vim

TL;DR

In the first case with set encoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding that is shown in the terminal.

In the second case with set fileencoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding of the file that is written.

As stated by @Dennis, you can set them both in your ~/.vimrc if you always want to work in utf-8.

More details

From the wiki of VIM about working with unicode

"encoding sets how vim shall represent characters internally. Utf-8 is necessary for most flavors of Unicode."

"fileencoding sets the encoding for a particular file (local to buffer); :setglobal sets the default value. An empty value can also be used: it defaults to same as 'encoding'. Or you may want to set one of the ucs encodings, It might make the same disk file bigger or smaller depending on your particular mix of characters. Also, IIUC, utf-8 is always big-endian (high bit first) while ucs can be big-endian or little-endian, so if you use it, you will probably need to set 'bomb" (see below)."

Remove an item from array using UnderscoreJS

Other answers create a new copy of the array, if you want to modify the array in place you can use:

arr.splice(_.findIndex(arr, { id: 3 }), 1);

But that assumes that the element will always be found inside the array (because if is not found it will still remove the last element). To be safe you can use:

var index = _.findIndex(arr, { id: 3 });
if (index > -1) {
    arr.splice(index, 1);
}

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Whenever you encounter an error with this message use my_string.encode().

^{^{(where my_string is the string you're passing to a function/method).}}

The encode method of str objects returns the encoded version of the string as a bytes object which you can then use. In this specific instance, socket methods such as .send expect a bytes object as the data to be sent, not a string object.

Since you have an object of type str and you're passing it to a function/method that expects an object of type bytes, an error is raised that clearly explains that:

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

So the encode method of strings is needed, applied on a str value and returning a bytes value:

>>> s = "Hello world"
>>> print(type(s))
<class 'str'>
>>> byte_s = s.encode()
>>> print(type(byte_s))
<class 'bytes'>
>>> print(byte_s)
b"Hello world"

Here the prefix b in b'Hello world' denotes that this is indeed a bytes object. You can then pass it to whatever function is expecting it in order for it to run smoothly.

How to add form validation pattern in Angular 2?

My solution with Angular 4.0.1: Just showing the UI for required CVC input - where the CVC must be exactly 3 digits:

...
        <md-input-container align="start">
            <input #cvc2="ngModel" mdInput type="text" id="cvc2" name="cvc2" minlength="3" maxlength="3" placeholder="CVC" [(ngModel)]="paymentCard.cvc2" [disabled]="isBusy" pattern="\d{3}" required />
            <md-hint *ngIf="cvc2.errors && (cvc2.touched || submitted)" class="validation-result">

How to remove pip package after deleting it manually

packages installed using pip can be uninstalled completely using

pip uninstall <package>

refrence link

pip uninstall is likely to fail if the package is installed using python setup.py install as they do not leave behind metadata to determine what files were installed.

packages still show up in pip list if their paths(.pth file) still exist in your site-packages or dist-packages folder. You'll need to remove them as well in case you're removing using rm -rf

What are Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() and freeMemory()?

To understand it better, run this following program (in jdk1.7.x) :

$ java -Xms1025k -Xmx1025k -XshowSettings:vm  MemoryTest

This will print jvm options and the used, free, total and maximum memory available in jvm.

public class MemoryTest {    
    public static void main(String args[]) {
                System.out.println("Used Memory   :  " + (Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() - Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()) + " bytes");
                System.out.println("Free Memory   : " + Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() + " bytes");
                System.out.println("Total Memory  : " + Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() + " bytes");
                System.out.println("Max Memory    : " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() + " bytes");            
        }
}

Calculating Pearson correlation and significance in Python

Pearson coefficient calculation using pandas in python: I would suggest trying this approach since your data contains lists. It will be easy to interact with your data and manipulate it from the console since you can visualise your data structure and update it as you wish. You can also export the data set and save it and add new data out of the python console for later analysis. This code is simpler and contains less lines of code. I am assuming you need a few quick lines of code to screen your data for further analysis

Example:

data = {'list 1':[2,4,6,8],'list 2':[4,16,36,64]}

import pandas as pd #To Convert your lists to pandas data frames convert your lists into pandas dataframes

df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['list 1','list 2'])

from scipy import stats # For in-built method to get PCC

pearson_coef, p_value = stats.pearsonr(df["list 1"], df["list 2"]) #define the columns to perform calculations on
print("Pearson Correlation Coefficient: ", pearson_coef, "and a P-value of:", p_value) # Results

However, you did not post your data for me to see the size of the data set or the transformations that might be needed before the analysis.

Difference between margin and padding?

One of the key differences between margin and padding is not mentioned in any of the answers: clickability and hover detection

Increasing the padding increases the effective size of the element. Sometimes I have a smallish icon that I don't want to make visibly larger but the user still needs to interact with that icon. I increase the icon's padding to give it a larger footprint for clicks and hover. Increasing the icon's margin will not have the same effect.

An answer to another question on this topic gives an example.

Improve subplot size/spacing with many subplots in matplotlib

I found that subplots_adjust(hspace = 0.001) is what ended up working for me. When I use space = None, there is still white space between each plot. Setting it to something very close to zero however seems to force them to line up. What I've uploaded here isn't the most elegant piece of code, but you can see how the hspace works.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as tic

fig = plt.figure()

x = np.arange(100)
y = 3.*np.sin(x*2.*np.pi/100.)

for i in range(5):
    temp = 510 + i
    ax = plt.subplot(temp)
    plt.plot(x,y)
    plt.subplots_adjust(hspace = .001)
    temp = tic.MaxNLocator(3)
    ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(temp)
    ax.set_xticklabels(())
    ax.title.set_visible(False)

plt.show()

uncaught syntaxerror unexpected token U JSON

The parameter for the JSON.parse may be returning nothing (i.e. the value given for the JSON.parse is undefined)!

It happened to me while I was parsing the Compiled solidity code from an xyz.sol file.

import web3 from './web3';
import xyz from './build/xyz.json';

const i = new web3.eth.Contract(
  JSON.parse(xyz.interface),
  '0x99Fd6eFd4257645a34093E657f69150FEFf7CdF5'
);

export default i;

which was misspelled as

JSON.parse(xyz.intereface)

which was returning nothing!

CSS: How to change colour of active navigation page menu

Add ID current for active/current page:

<div class="menuBar">
  <ul>
  <li id="current"><a href="index.php">HOME</a></li>
  <li><a href="two.php">PORTFOLIO</a></li>
  <li><a href="three.php">ABOUT</a></li>
  <li><a href="four.php">CONTACT</a></li>
  <li><a href="five.php">SHOP</a></li>
 </ul>

#current a { color: #ff0000; }

Jquery: Checking to see if div contains text, then action

Yes, I now made think for me. And it works fine!!!

if($("div:contains('CONGRATULATIONS')").length)
                        {
                            $('#SignupForm').hide(500);
                        }

HTML Button : Navigate to Other Page - Different Approaches

I use method 3 because it's the most understandable for others (whenever you see an <a> tag, you know it's a link) and when you are part of a team, you have to make simple things ;).

And finally I don't think it's useful and efficient to use JS simply to navigate to an other page.

CKEditor, Image Upload (filebrowserUploadUrl)

You can use this code

     <script>
                // Replace the <textarea id="editor"> with a CKEditor
                // instance, using default configuration.

                CKEDITOR.config.filebrowserImageBrowseUrl = '/admin/laravel-filemanager?type=Files';
                CKEDITOR.config.filebrowserImageUploadUrl = '/admin/laravel-filemanager/upload?type=Images&_token=';
                CKEDITOR.config.filebrowserBrowseUrl = '/admin/laravel-filemanager?type=Files';
                CKEDITOR.config.filebrowserUploadUrl = '/admin/laravel-filemanager/upload?type=Files&_token=';

                CKEDITOR.replaceAll( 'editor');
   </script>

Is there a "goto" statement in bash?

No, there is not; see §3.2.4 "Compound Commands" in the Bash Reference Manual for information about the control structures that do exist. In particular, note the mention of break and continue, which aren't as flexible as goto, but are more flexible in Bash than in some languages, and may help you achieve what you want. (Whatever it is that you want . . .)

How to parse an RSS feed using JavaScript?

Parsing the Feed

With jQuery's jFeed

_{(Don't really recommend that one, see the other options.)}

jQuery.getFeed({
   url     : FEED_URL,
   success : function (feed) {
      console.log(feed.title);
      // do more stuff here
   }
});

With jQuery's Built-in XML Support

$.get(FEED_URL, function (data) {
    $(data).find("entry").each(function () { // or "item" or whatever suits your feed
        var el = $(this);

        console.log("------------------------");
        console.log("title      : " + el.find("title").text());
        console.log("author     : " + el.find("author").text());
        console.log("description: " + el.find("description").text());
    });
});

With jQuery and the Google AJAX Feed API

$.ajax({
  url      : document.location.protocol + '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&num=10&callback=?&q=' + encodeURIComponent(FEED_URL),
  dataType : 'json',
  success  : function (data) {
    if (data.responseData.feed && data.responseData.feed.entries) {
      $.each(data.responseData.feed.entries, function (i, e) {
        console.log("------------------------");
        console.log("title      : " + e.title);
        console.log("author     : " + e.author);
        console.log("description: " + e.description);
      });
    }
  }
});

But that means you're relient on them being online and reachable.

Building Content

Once you've successfully extracted the information you need from the feed, you could create DocumentFragments (with document.createDocumentFragment() containing the elements (created with document.createElement()) you'll want to inject to display your data.

Injecting the content

Select the container element that you want on the page and append your document fragments to it, and simply use innerHTML to replace its content entirely.

Something like:

$('#rss-viewer').append(aDocumentFragmentEntry);

or:

$('#rss-viewer')[0].innerHTML = aDocumentFragmentOfAllEntries.innerHTML;

&lt;h3&gt;With jQuery&#39;s jFeed&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try this, with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jFeed&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;jFeed&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jquery.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt; plug-in&lt;/p&gt;

   success : function (feed) {
      console.log(feed.title);
      // do more stuff here
   }

        console.log(&quot;description: &quot; + el.find(&quot;description&quot;).text());
    });
});
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;With jQuery and the Google AJAX APIs&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, &lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.google.com/feed/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google&#39;s AJAX Feed API&lt;/a&gt; allows you to get the feed as a JSON object:&lt;/p&gt;

  url      : document.location.protocol + &#39;//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;callback=?&amp;amp;q=&#39; + encodeURIComponent(FEED_URL),
  dataType : &#39;json&#39;,
  success  : function (data) {
    if (data.responseData.feed &amp;amp;&amp;amp; data.responseData.feed.entries) {
      $.each(data.responseData.feed.entries, function (i, e) {
        console.log(&quot;------------------------&quot;);
        console.log(&quot;title      : &quot; + e.title);
        console.log(&quot;author     : &quot; + e.author);
        console.log(&quot;description: &quot; + e.description);
      });
    }
  }
});
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But that means you&#39;re relient on them being online and reachable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you&#39;ve successfully extracted the information you need from the feed, you need to create document fragments containing the elements you&#39;ll want to inject to display your data.&lt;/p&gt;

Select and trigger click event of a radio button in jquery

In my case i had to load images on radio button click, I just uses the regular onclick event and it worked for me.

 <input type="radio" name="colors" value="{{color.id}}" id="{{color.id}}-option" class="color_radion"  onclick="return get_images(this, {{color.id}})">

<script>
  function get_images(obj, color){
    console.log($("input[type='radio'][name='colors']:checked").val());

  }
  </script>

How to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings is actually a property, so you need to use square brackets.

Overall, here's what you need to do:

SqlConnection con= new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]);

The problem is that you tried to set con to a string, which is not correct. You have to either pass it to the constructor or set con.ConnectionString property.

How to check user is "logged in"?

I managed to find the correct one. It is below.

bool val1 = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated

EDIT

The credit of this edit goes to @Gianpiero Caretti who suggested this in comment.

bool val1 = (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User != null) && System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated

How do I check if file exists in jQuery or pure JavaScript?

I wanted a function that would return a boolean, I encountered problems related to closure and asynchronicity. I solved this way:

checkFileExistence= function (file){
    result=false;
    jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:false});
    $.get(file)
        .done(function() {
           result=true;
        })
        .fail(function() {
           result=false;
        })
    jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:true});
    return(result);
},

How to read from stdin line by line in Node

jQuery ui datepicker with Angularjs

I think you are missing the Angular ui bootstrap dependency in your module declaration, like this:

angular.module('elnApp', ['ui.bootstrap'])

See the doc for Angular-ui-bootstrap.

Can't use modulus on doubles?

Use fmod() from <cmath>. If you do not want to include the C header file:

template<typename T, typename U>
constexpr double dmod (T x, U mod)
{
    return !mod ? x : x - mod * static_cast<long long>(x / mod);
}

//Usage:
double z = dmod<double, unsigned int>(14.3, 4);
double z = dmod<long, float>(14, 4.6);
//This also works:
double z = dmod(14.7, 0.3);
double z = dmod(14.7, 0);
double z = dmod(0, 0.3f);
double z = dmod(myFirstVariable, someOtherVariable);

Writing your own square root function

Well there are already quite a few answers, but here goes mine It's the most simplest piece of code ( for me ), here is the algorithm for it.

And code in python 2.7:

from __future__ import division 
val = 81
x = 10
def sqr(data,x):
    temp = x - ( (x**2 - data)/(2*x))
    if temp == x:
        print temp
        return
    else:
        x = temp
        return sqr(data,x)
    #x =temp 
    #sqr(data,x)
sqr(val,x)

How to round float numbers in javascript?

Number((6.688689).toFixed(1)); // 6.7

var number = 6.688689;
var roundedNumber = Math.round(number * 10) / 10;

Use toFixed() function.

(6.688689).toFixed(); // equal to "7"
(6.688689).toFixed(1); // equal to "6.7"
(6.688689).toFixed(2); // equal to "6.69"

How to remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system

There's a simple command built-in that will pull it:

rvm implode

This will remove the rvm/ directory and all the rubies built within it. In order to remove the final trace of rvm, you need to remove the rvm gem, too:

gem uninstall rvm

If you've made modifications to your PATH you might want to pull those, too. Check your .bashrc, .profile and .bash_profile files, among other things.

You may also have an /etc/rvmrc file, or one in your home directory ~/.rvmrc that may need to be removed as well.

I want to convert std::string into a const wchar_t *

If you are on Linux/Unix have a look at mbstowcs() and wcstombs() defined in GNU C (from ISO C 90).

mbs stand for "Multi Bytes String" and is basically the usual zero terminated C string.
wcs stand for Wide Char String and is an array of wchar_t.

For more background details on wide chars have a look at glibc documentation here.

Get keys of a Typescript interface as array of strings

// declarations.d.ts
export interface IMyTable {
      id: number;
      title: string;
      createdAt: Date;
      isDeleted: boolean
}
declare var Tes: IMyTable;
// call in annother page
console.log(Tes.id);

Why doesn't JavaScript support multithreading?

I don't know the rationale for this decision, but I know that you can simulate some of the benefits of multi-threaded programming using setTimeout. You can give the illusion of multiple processes doing things at the same time, though in reality, everything happens in one thread.

Just have your function do a little bit of work, and then call something like:

setTimeout(function () {
    ... do the rest of the work...
}, 0);

And any other things that need doing (like UI updates, animated images, etc) will happen when they get a chance.

Running multiple commands with xargs

One thing I do is to add to .bashrc/.profile this function:

function each() {
    while read line; do
        for f in "$@"; do
            $f $line
        done
    done
}

then you can do things like

... | each command1 command2 "command3 has spaces"

which is less verbose than xargs or -exec. You could also modify the function to insert the value from the read at an arbitrary location in the commands to each, if you needed that behavior also.

HTML5: Slider with two inputs possible?

Sure you can simply use two sliders overlaying each other and add a bit of javascript (actually not more than 5 lines) that the selectors are not exceeding the min/max values (like in @Garys) solution.

Attached you'll find a short snippet adapted from a current project including some CSS3 styling to show what you can do (webkit only). I also added some labels to display the selected values.

It uses JQuery but a vanillajs version is no magic though.

@Update: The code below was just a proof of concept. Due to many requests I've added a possible solution for Mozilla Firefox (without changing the original code). You may want to refractor the code below before using it.

How to remove part of a string?

Do the following

$string = 'REGISTER 11223344 here';

$content = preg_replace('/REGISTER(.*)here/','',$string);

This would return "REGISTERhere"

$string = 'REGISTER 11223344 here';

$content = preg_replace('/REGISTER (.*) here/','',$string);

This would return "REGISTER here"

remove legend title in ggplot

For Error: 'opts' is deprecated. Use theme() instead. (Defunct; last used in version 0.9.1)' I replaced opts(title = "Boxplot - Candidate's Tweet Scores") with labs(title = "Boxplot - Candidate's Tweet Scores"). It worked!

What does "exited with code 9009" mean during this build?

I had the same error caused by my post build script and I tried to run the script line by line in the command prompt. Finally I found out the root cause is I did not populate the missing information in the .nuspec file, i.e. replacing all the variables between $ and $ with the actual value, e.g. replacing $author$ with my name

How to save and load numpy.array() data properly?

np.fromfile() has a sep= keyword argument:

Separator between items if file is a text file. Empty (“”) separator means the file should be treated as binary. Spaces (” ”) in the separator match zero or more whitespace characters. A separator consisting only of spaces must match at least one whitespace.

The default value of sep="" means that np.fromfile() tries to read it as a binary file rather than a space-separated text file, so you get nonsense values back. If you use np.fromfile('markers.txt', sep=" ") you will get the result you are looking for.

However, as others have pointed out, np.loadtxt() is the preferred way to convert text files to numpy arrays, and unless the file needs to be human-readable it is usually better to use binary formats instead (e.g. np.load()/np.save()).

MS SQL Date Only Without Time

Here's a query that will return all results within a range of days.

DECLARE @startDate DATETIME
DECLARE @endDate DATETIME

SET @startDate = DATEADD(day, -30, GETDATE())
SET @endDate = GETDATE()

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE dateColumn >= DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, @startDate), 0)
  AND dateColumn <  DATEADD(day, 1, DATEDIFF(day, 0, @endDate))

How do I validate a date string format in python?

From mere curiosity, I timed the two rivalling answers posted above.
And I had the following results:

dateutil.parser (valid str): 4.6732222699938575
dateutil.parser (invalid str): 1.7270505399937974
datetime.strptime (valid): 0.7822393209935399
datetime.strptime (invalid): 0.4394566189876059

And here's the code I used (Python 3.6)


from dateutil import parser as date_parser
from datetime import datetime
from timeit import timeit


def is_date_parsing(date_str):
    try:
        return bool(date_parser.parse(date_str))
    except ValueError:
        return False


def is_date_matching(date_str):
    try:
        return bool(datetime.strptime(date_str, '%Y-%m-%d'))
    except ValueError:
        return False



if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("dateutil.parser (valid date):", end=' ')
    print(timeit("is_date_parsing('2021-01-26')",
                 setup="from __main__ import is_date_parsing",
                 number=100000))

    print("dateutil.parser (invalid date):", end=' ')
    print(timeit("is_date_parsing('meh')",
                 setup="from __main__ import is_date_parsing",
                 number=100000))

    print("datetime.strptime (valid date):", end=' ')
    print(timeit("is_date_matching('2021-01-26')",
                 setup="from __main__ import is_date_matching",
                 number=100000))

    print("datetime.strptime (invalid date):", end=' ')
    print(timeit("is_date_matching('meh')",
                 setup="from __main__ import is_date_matching",
                 number=100000))

How to add element into ArrayList in HashMap

#i'm also maintaining insertion order here

VBA: activating/selecting a worksheet/row/cell

This is just a sample code, but it may help you get on your way:

Public Sub testIt()
    Workbooks("Workbook2").Activate
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
    ActiveSheet.Range("B3").Select
    ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert
End Sub

I am assuming that you can open the book (called Workbook2 in the example).

I think (but I'm not sure) you can squash all this in a single line of code:

    Workbooks("Workbook2").Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B3").EntireRow.Insert

This way you won't need to activate the workbook (or sheet or cell)... Obviously, the book has to be open.

Breaking out of a for loop in Java

If for some reason you don't want to use the break instruction (if you think it will disrupt your reading flow next time you will read your programm, for example), you can try the following :

boolean test = true;
for (int i = 0; i < 1220 && test; i++) {
    System.out.println(i);
    if (i == 20) {
        test = false;
    }
 }

The second arg of a for loop is a boolean test. If the result of the test is true, the loop will stop. You can use more than just an simple math test if you like. Otherwise, a simple break will also do the trick, as others said :

for (int i = 0; i < 1220 ; i++) {
    System.out.println(i);
    if (i == 20) {
        break;
    }
 }

Send File Attachment from Form Using phpMailer and PHP

In my own case, i was using serialize() on the form, Hence the files were not being sent to php. If you are using jquery, use FormData(). For example

<form id='form'>
<input type='file' name='file' />
<input type='submit' />
</form>

Using jquery,

$('#form').submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData(this); // grab all form contents including files
//you can then use formData and pass to ajax

});

Express-js can't GET my static files, why?

to serve static files (css,images,js files)just two steps:

pass the directory of css files to built in middleware express.static

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
/*public is folder in my project directory contains three folders
css,image,js
*/
//css  =>folder contains css file
//image=>folder contains images
//js   =>folder contains javascript files
app.use(express.static( 'public/css'));

to access css files or images just type in url http://localhost:port/filename.css ex:http://localhost:8081/bootstrap.css

note: to link css files to html just type<link href="file_name.css" rel="stylesheet">

if i write this code

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use('/css',express.static( 'public/css'));

to access the static files just type in url:localhost:port/css/filename.css ex:http://localhost:8081/css/bootstrap.css

note to link css files with html just add the following line

<link href="css/file_name.css" rel="stylesheet">

How do I properly force a Git push?

Setting a property by reflection with a string value

You can use Convert.ChangeType() - It allows you to use runtime information on any IConvertible type to change representation formats. Not all conversions are possible, though, and you may need to write special case logic if you want to support conversions from types that are not IConvertible.

The corresponding code (without exception handling or special case logic) would be:

Ship ship = new Ship();
string value = "5.5";
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = ship.GetType().GetProperty("Latitude");
propertyInfo.SetValue(ship, Convert.ChangeType(value, propertyInfo.PropertyType), null);

iPhone hide Navigation Bar only on first page

The simplest implementation may be to just have each view controller specify whether its navigation bar is hidden or not in its viewWillAppear:animated: method. The same approach works well for hiding/showing the toolbar as well:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:YES/NO animated:animated];
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

PHP Curl And Cookies

Here you can find some useful info about cURL & cookies http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/webprog/pcook/ch11_04.htm .

You can also use this well done method https://github.com/alixaxel/phunction/blob/master/phunction/Net.php#L89 like a function:

function CURL($url, $data = null, $method = 'GET', $cookie = null, $options = null, $retries = 3)
{
    $result = false;

    if ((extension_loaded('curl') === true) && (is_resource($curl = curl_init()) === true))
    {
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

        if (preg_match('~^(?:DELETE|GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|POST|PUT)$~i', $method) > 0)
        {
            if (preg_match('~^(?:HEAD|OPTIONS)$~i', $method) > 0)
            {
                curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_HEADER => true, CURLOPT_NOBODY => true));
            }

            else if (preg_match('~^(?:POST|PUT)$~i', $method) > 0)
            {
                if (is_array($data) === true)
                {
                    foreach (preg_grep('~^@~', $data) as $key => $value)
                    {
                        $data[$key] = sprintf('@%s', rtrim(str_replace('\\', '/', realpath(ltrim($value, '@'))), '/') . (is_dir(ltrim($value, '@')) ? '/' : ''));
                    }

                    if (count($data) != count($data, COUNT_RECURSIVE))
                    {
                        $data = http_build_query($data, '', '&');
                    }
                }

                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
            }

            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, strtoupper($method));

            if (isset($cookie) === true)
            {
                curl_setopt_array($curl, array_fill_keys(array(CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE), strval($cookie)));
            }

            if ((intval(ini_get('safe_mode')) == 0) && (ini_set('open_basedir', null) !== false))
            {
                curl_setopt_array($curl, array(CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 5, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true));
            }

            if (is_array($options) === true)
            {
                curl_setopt_array($curl, $options);
            }

            for ($i = 1; $i <= $retries; ++$i)
            {
                $result = curl_exec($curl);

                if (($i == $retries) || ($result !== false))
                {
                    break;
                }

                usleep(pow(2, $i - 2) * 1000000);
            }
        }

        curl_close($curl);
    }

    return $result;
}

And pass this as $cookie parameter:

$cookie_jar = tempnam('/tmp','cookie');
