What is LDAP used for?

To take the definitions the other mentioned earlier a bit further, how about this perspective...

LDAP is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. DAP, is an X.500 notion, and in X.500 is VERY heavy weight! (It sort of requires a full 7 layer ISO network stack, which basically only IBM's SNA protocol ever realistically implemented).

There are many other approaches to DAP. Novell has one called NDAP (NCP Novell Core Protocols are the transport, and NDAP is how it reads the directory).

LDAP is just a very lightweight DAP, as the name suggests.

Return sql rows where field contains ONLY non-alphanumeric characters

This will not work correctly, e.g. abcÑxyz will pass thru this as it has a,b,c... you need to work with Collate or check each byte.

"git pull" or "git merge" between master and development branches

The best approach for this sort of thing is probably git rebase. It allows you to pull changes from master into your development branch, but leave all of your development work "on top of" (later in the commit log) the stuff from master. When your new work is complete, the merge back to master is then very straightforward.

Unit testing private methods in C#

You can use PrivateObject Class

Class target = new Class();
PrivateObject obj = new PrivateObject(target);
var retVal = obj.Invoke("PrivateMethod");
Assert.AreEqual(expectedVal, retVal);

Note: PrivateObject and PrivateType are not available for projects targeting netcoreapp2.0 - GitHub Issue 366

ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com: Name or service not known; fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Recently, I have seen this problem too. Below, you have my solution:

  1. ping github.com, if ping failed. it is DNS error.
  2. sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf, the add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

Or it can be a genuine network issue. Restart your network-manager using sudo service network-manager restart or fix it up


I have just received this error after switching from HTTPS to SSH (for my origin remote). To fix, I simply ran the following command (for each repo):

ssh -T [email protected]

Upon receiving a successful response, I could fetch/push to the repo with ssh.

I took that command from Git's Testing your SSH connection guide, which is part of the greater Connecting to GitHub with with SSH guide.

How to create an android app using HTML 5

When people talk about HTML5 applications they're most likely talking about writing just a simple web page or embedding a web page into their app (which will essentially provide the user interface). For the later there are different frameworks available, e.g. PhoneGap. These are used to provide more than the default browser features (e.g. multi touch) as well as allowing the app to run seamingly "standalone" and without the browser's navigation bars etc.

Error: could not find function "%>%"

One needs to install magrittr as follows

install.packages("magrittr")

Then, in one's script, don't forget to add on top

library(magrittr)

For the meaning of the operator %>% you might want to consider this question: What does %>% function mean in R?

Note that the same operator would also work with the library dplyr, as it imports from magrittr.

dplyr used to have a similar operator (%.%), which is now deprecated. Here we can read about the differences between %.% (deprecated operator from the library dplyr) and %>% (operator from magrittr, that is also available in dplyr)

Android studio Gradle build speed up

There is a newer version of gradle (ver 2.4).

You can set this for your project(s) by opening up 'Project Structure' dialog from File menu,

Project Structure -> Project -> Gradle version

and set it to '2.4'.
You can read more about boosting performance at this link.

Could not load file or assembly Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040

Check if the project having HRESULT: 0x80131040 error is being used/referenced by any project. If yes, kindly check if these project have similar .dll being referenced and the version is the same. If they're are not of same version number, then it is causing the said error.

Case Function Equivalent in Excel

I understand that this is a response to an old post-

I like the If() function combined with Index()/Match():

=IF(B2>0,"x",INDEX($H$2:$I$9,MATCH(A2,$H$2:$H$9,0),2))

The if function compare what is in column b and if it is greater than 0, it returns x, if not it uses the array (table of information) identified by the Index() function and selected by Match() to return the value that a corresponds to.

The Index array has the absolute location set $H$2:$I$9 (the dollar signs) so that the place it points to will not change as the formula is copied. The row with the value that you want returned is identified by the Match() function. Match() has the added value of not needing a sorted list to look through that Vlookup() requires. Match() can find the value with a value: 1 less than, 0 exact, -1 greater than. I put a zero in after the absolute Match() array $H$2:$H$9 to find the exact match. For the column that value of the Index() array that one would like returned is entered. I entered a 2 because in my array the return value was in the second column. Below my index array looked like this:

32   1420

36   1650

40   1790

44   1860

55   2010

The value in your 'a' column to search for in the list is in the first column in my example and the corresponding value that is to be return is to the right. The look up/reference table can be on any tab in the work book - or even in another file. -Book2 is the file name, and Sheet2 is the 'other tab' name.

=IF(B2>0,"x",INDEX([Book2]Sheet2!$A$1:$B$8,MATCH(A2,[Book2]Sheet2!$A$1:$A$8,0),2))

If you do not want x return when the value of b is greater than zero delete the x for a 'blank'/null equivalent or maybe put a 0 - not sure what you would want there.

Below is beginning of the function with the x deleted.

=IF(B2>0,"",INDEX...

Access denied for root user in MySQL command-line

I had the same issue, and it turned out to be that MariaDB was set to allow only root to log in locally via the unix_socket plug-in, so clearing that setting allowed successfully logging in with the user specified on the command line, provided a correct password is entered, of course. See this answer on Ask Ubuntu

How to check if a subclass is an instance of a class at runtime?

if(view instanceof B)

This will return true if view is an instance of B or the subclass A (or any subclass of B for that matter).

Python : List of dict, if exists increment a dict value, if not append a new dict

Using the default works, but so does:

urls[url] = urls.get(url, 0) + 1

using .get, you can get a default return if it doesn't exist. By default it's None, but in the case I sent you, it would be 0.

How to use Java property files?

Example:

Properties pro = new Properties();
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("D:/prop/prop.properties");
pro.load(in);
String temp1[];
String temp2[];
// getting values from property file
String username = pro.getProperty("usernamev3");//key value in prop file 
String password = pro.getProperty("passwordv3");//eg. username="zub"
String delimiter = ",";                         //password="abc"
temp1=username.split(delimiter);
temp2=password.split(delimiter);

2 "style" inline css img tags?

Do not use more than one style attribute. Just seperate styles in the style attribute with ; It is a block of inline CSS, so think of this as you would do CSS in a separate stylesheet.

So in this case its: style="height:100px;width:100px;"

You can use this for any CSS style, so if you wanted to change the colour of the text to white: style="height:100px;width:100px;color:#ffffff" and so on.

However, it is worth using inline CSS sparingly, as it can make code less manageable in future. Using an external stylesheet may be a better option for this. It depends really on your requirements. Inline CSS does make for quicker coding.

Default values and initialization in Java

Local variables do not get default values. Their initial values are undefined without assigning values by some means. Before you can use local variables they must be initialized.

There is a big difference when you declare a variable at class level (as a member, i.e., as a field) and at the method level.

If you declare a field at the class level they get default values according to their type. If you declare a variable at the method level or as a block (means any code inside {}) do not get any values and remain undefined until somehow they get some starting values, i.e., some values assigned to them.

Could someone explain this for me - for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

It's a for loop, which will execute the next statement a number of times, depending on the conditions inside the parenthesis.

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Start by setting i = 0

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Continue looping while i < 8.

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Every time you've been around the loop, increase i by 1.

For example;

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    do(i);

will call do(0), do(1), ... do(7) in order, and stop when i reaches 8 (ie i < 8 is false)

How to bring a window to the front?

Here's a method that REALLY works (tested on Windows Vista) :D

   frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
   frame.setExtendedState(fullscreen ? JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH : JFrame.NORMAL);

The fullscreen variable indicates if you want the app to run full screen or windowed.

This does not flash the task bar, but bring the window to front reliably.

Can you require two form fields to match with HTML5?

You can with regular expressions Input Patterns (check browser compatibility)

<input id="password" name="password" type="password" pattern="^\S{6,}$" onchange="this.setCustomValidity(this.validity.patternMismatch ? 'Must have at least 6 characters' : ''); if(this.checkValidity()) form.password_two.pattern = this.value;" placeholder="Password" required>

<input id="password_two" name="password_two" type="password" pattern="^\S{6,}$" onchange="this.setCustomValidity(this.validity.patternMismatch ? 'Please enter the same Password as above' : '');" placeholder="Verify Password" required>

How do I remove duplicates from a C# array?

If you needed to sort it, then you could implement a sort that also removes duplicates.

Kills two birds with one stone, then.

vuetify center items into v-flex

wrap button inside <div class="text-xs-center">

<div class="text-xs-center">
  <v-btn primary>
    Signup
  </v-btn>
</div>

Dev uses it in his examples.


For centering buttons in v-card-actions we can add class="justify-center" (note in v2 class is text-center (so without xs):

<v-card-actions class="justify-center">
  <v-btn>
    Signup
  </v-btn>
</v-card-actions>

Codepen


For more examples with regards to centering see here

What are the most common naming conventions in C?

There could be many, mainly IDEs dictate some trends and C++ conventions are also pushing. For C commonly:

  • UNDERSCORED_UPPER_CASE (macro definitions, constants, enum members)
  • underscored_lower_case (variables, functions)
  • CamelCase (custom types: structs, enums, unions)
  • uncappedCamelCase (oppa Java style)
  • UnderScored_CamelCase (variables, functions under kind of namespaces)

Hungarian notation for globals are fine but not for types. And even for trivial names, please use at least two characters.

Adding elements to object

My proposition is to use different data structure that proposed already in other answers - it allows you to make push on card.elements and allow to expand card properties:

_x000D_
_x000D_
let card = {
  elements: [
    {"id":10,"quantity":1}
  ],

  //other card fields like 'owner' or something...
}

card.elements.push({"id":22,"quantity":3})

console.log(card);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to count frequency of characters in a string?

A concise way to do this is:

Map<Character,Integer> frequencies = new HashMap<>();
for (char ch : input.toCharArray()) 
   frequencies.put(ch, frequencies.getOrDefault(ch, 0) + 1);

We use a for-each to loop through every character. The frequencies.getOrDefault() gets value if key is present or returns(as default) its second argument.

Checking on a thread / remove from list

Better way is to use Queue class: http://docs.python.org/library/queue.html

Look at the good example code in the bottom of documentation page:

def worker():
    while True:
        item = q.get()
        do_work(item)
        q.task_done()

q = Queue()
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
     t = Thread(target=worker)
     t.daemon = True
     t.start()

for item in source():
    q.put(item)

q.join()       # block until all tasks are done

Flatten nested dictionaries, compressing keys

Here's an algorithm for elegant, in-place replacement. Tested with Python 2.7 and Python 3.5. Using the dot character as a separator.

def flatten_json(json):
    if type(json) == dict:
        for k, v in list(json.items()):
            if type(v) == dict:
                flatten_json(v)
                json.pop(k)
                for k2, v2 in v.items():
                    json[k+"."+k2] = v2

Example:

d = {'a': {'b': 'c'}}                   
flatten_json(d)
print(d)
unflatten_json(d)
print(d)

Output:

{'a.b': 'c'}
{'a': {'b': 'c'}}

I published this code here along with the matching unflatten_json function.

How should the ViewModel close the form?

Ok, so this question is nearly 6 years old and I still can't find in here what I think it's the proper answer, so allow me to share my "2 cents"...

I actually have 2 ways of doing it, first one is the simple one...the second on the right one, so if you are looking for the right one, just skip #1 and jump to #2:

1. Quick and Easy (but not complete)

If I have just a small project I sometimes just create a CloseWindowAction in the ViewModel:

        public Action CloseWindow { get; set; } // In MyViewModel.cs

And whoever crates the View, or in the View's code behind I just set the Method the Action will call:

(remember MVVM is about separation of the View and the ViewModel...the View's code behins is still the View and as long as there is proper separation you are not violating the pattern)

If some ViewModel creates a new window:

private void CreateNewView()
{
    MyView window = new MyView();
    window.DataContext = new MyViewModel
                             {
                                 CloseWindow = window.Close,
                             }; 
    window.ShowDialog();
}

Or if you want it in your Main Window, just place it under your View's constructor:

public MyView()
{
    InitializeComponent();           
    this.DataContext = new MainViewModel
                           {
                                CloseWindow = this.Close
                           };
}

when you want to close the window, just call the Action on your ViewModel.


2. The right way

Now the proper way of doing it is using Prism (IMHO), and all about it can be found here.

You can make an Interaction Request, populate it with whatever data you will need in your new Window, lunch it, close it and even receive data back. All of this encapsulated and MVVM approved. You even get a status of how the Window was closed, like if the User Canceled or Accepted (OK button) the Window and data back if you need it. It's a bit more complicated and Answer #1, but it's a lot more complete, and a Recommended Pattern by Microsoft.

The link I gave have all the code snippets and examples, so I won't bother to place any code in here, just read the article of download the Prism Quick Start and run it, it's really simple to understad just a little more verbose to make it work, but the benefits are bigger than just closing a window.

What does ||= (or-equals) mean in Ruby?

This question has been discussed so often on the Ruby mailing-lists and Ruby blogs that there are now even threads on the Ruby mailing-list whose only purpose is to collect links to all the other threads on the Ruby mailing-list that discuss this issue.

Here's one: The definitive list of ||= (OR Equal) threads and pages

If you really want to know what is going on, take a look at Section 11.4.2.3 "Abbreviated assignments" of the Ruby Language Draft Specification.

As a first approximation,

a ||= b

is equivalent to

a || a = b

and not equivalent to

a = a || b

However, that is only a first approximation, especially if a is undefined. The semantics also differ depending on whether it is a simple variable assignment, a method assignment or an indexing assignment:

a    ||= b
a.c  ||= b
a[c] ||= b

are all treated differently.

Pandas every nth row

A solution I came up with when using the index was not viable ( possibly the multi-Gig .csv was too large, or I missed some technique that would allow me to reindex without crashing ).
Walk through one row at a time and add the nth row to a new dataframe.

import pandas as pd
from csv import DictReader

def make_downsampled_df(filename, interval):    
    with open(filename, 'r') as read_obj:
        csv_dict_reader = DictReader(read_obj)
        column_names = csv_dict_reader.fieldnames
        df = pd.DataFrame(columns=column_names)
    
        for index, row in enumerate(csv_dict_reader):
            if index % interval == 0:
               print(str(row))
               df = df.append(row, ignore_index=True)

    return df

error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found

This was a pain in the ass for me! Especially after updating to Android Studio 3.2.1 and Gradle 4.6 (for Gradle developers).

I think there is more than one factor that could cause such a build exception. For me, I had the following lines of code in my gradle.properties file (using SDK version 27):

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

AndroidX is the alternative to Android's default Support Library and should be used when compiling and targeting SDK version 28 (API 28). Before the updating Android Studio and Gradle, I had added the lines above in preparation to eventually fully migrate to AndroidX to use SDK version 28 and the build ran successfully. It was only after the update that I received an error similar to that above:

error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found

Hope this helps.

IOS 7 Navigation Bar text and arrow color

Swift 5/iOS 13

To change color of title in controller:

UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]

Using Tkinter in python to edit the title bar

Try something like:

from tkinter import Tk, Button, Frame, Entry, END

class ABC(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.pack()        

root = Tk()
app = ABC(master=root)
app.master.title("Simple Prog")
app.mainloop()
root.destroy()

Now you should have a frame with a title, then afterwards you can add windows for different widgets if you like.

Proxy Error 502 : The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server

The java application takes too long to respond(maybe due start-up/jvm being cold) thus you get the proxy error.

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
 The proxy server could not handle the request GET /lin/Campaignn.jsp.

As Albert Maclang said amending the http timeout configuration may fix the issue. I suspect the java application throws a 500+ error thus the apache gateway error too. You should look in the logs.

How does the getView() method work when creating your own custom adapter?

What is exactly the function of the LayoutInflater?

When you design using XML, all your UI elements are just tags and parameters. Before you can use these UI elements, (eg a TextView or LinearLayout), you need to create the actual objects corresponding to these xml elements. That is what the inflater is for. The inflater, uses these tags and their corresponding parameters to create the actual objects and set all the parameters. After this you can get a reference to the UI element using findViewById().

Why do all the articles that I've read check if convertview is null or not first? What does it mean when it is null and what does it mean when it isn't?

This is an interesting one. You see, getView() is called everytime an item in the list is drawn. Now, before the item can be drawn, it has to be created. Now convertView basically is the last used view to draw an item. In getView() you inflate the xml first and then use findByViewID() to get the various UI elements of the listitem. When we check for (convertView == null) what we do is check that if a view is null(for the first item) then create it, else, if it already exists, reuse it, no need to go through the inflate process again. Makes it a lot more efficient.

You must also have come across a concept of ViewHolder in getView(). This makes the list more efficient. What we do is create a viewholder and store the reference to all the UI elements that we got after inflating. This way, we can avoid calling the numerous findByViewId() and save on a lot of time. This ViewHolder is created in the (convertView == null) condition and is stored in the convertView using setTag(). In the else loop we just obtain it back using getView() and reuse it.

What is the parent parameter that this method accepts?

The parent is a ViewGroup to which your view created by getView() is finally attached. Now in your case this would be the ListView.

Hope this helps :)

What is a callback function?

A callback function is a function you specify to an existing function/method, to be invoked when an action is completed, requires additional processing, etc.

In Javascript, or more specifically jQuery, for example, you can specify a callback argument to be called when an animation has finished.

In PHP, the preg_replace_callback() function allows you to provide a function that will be called when the regular expression is matched, passing the string(s) matched as arguments.

Proper usage of Optional.ifPresent()

Use flatMap. If a value is present, flatMap returns a sequential Stream containing only that value, otherwise returns an empty Stream. So there is no need to use ifPresent() . Example:

list.stream().map(data -> data.getSomeValue).map(this::getOptinalValue).flatMap(Optional::stream).collect(Collectors.toList());

Editing hosts file to redirect url?

You could use the RedirectMatch directive in Apache to do something similar you want.

It's pretty simple.

RedirectMatch / http://222.222.222.222/

Anyway, I can't see any reason to do that thing. Aren't you trying to intercept traffic? There are better ways. For Linux boxes as a router: iptables -j REDIRECT + Squid or Apache. For Cisco routers, you can use WCCP to a Cache or Web Server...

Typescript ReferenceError: exports is not defined

How do you truncate all tables in a database using TSQL?

Before truncating the tables you have to remove all foreign keys. Use this script to generate final scripts to drop and recreate all foreign keys in database. Please set the @action variable to 'CREATE' or 'DROP'.

Why number 9 in kill -9 command in unix?

See the wikipedia article on Unix signals for the list of other signals. SIGKILL just happened to get the number 9.

You can as well use the mnemonics, as the numbers:

Formatting Decimal places in R

if you just want to round a number or a list, simply use

round(data, 2)

Then, data will be round to 2 decimal place.

Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row:

I had this issue when I was accidentally using the WRONG "uuid" in my child record. When that happens the constraint looks from the child to the parent record to ensure that the link is correct. I was generating it manually, when I had already rigged my Model to do it automatically. So my fix was:

$parent = Parent:create($recData); // asssigning autogenerated uuid into $parent

Then when I called my child class to insert children, I passed this var value:

$parent->uuid

Hope that helps.

Does Java have a complete enum for HTTP response codes?

1) To get the reason text if you only have the code, you can use:

org.apache.http.impl.EnglishReasonPhraseCatalog.INSTANCE.getReason(httpCode,null)

Where httpCode would be the reason code that you got from the HTTP response.

See https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/EnglishReasonPhraseCatalog.html for details

2) To get the reason code if you only have the text, you can use BasicHttpResponse.

See here for details: https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/message/BasicHttpResponse.html

How do you kill all current connections to a SQL Server 2005 database?

I usually run into that error when I am trying to restore a database I usually just go to the top of the tree in Management Studio and right click and restart the database server (because it's on a development machine, this might not be ideal in production). This is close all database connections.

Android: Clear Activity Stack

Here is a simple helper method for starting a new activity as the new top activity which works from API level 4 up until the current version 17:

static void startNewMainActivity(Activity currentActivity, Class<? extends Activity> newTopActivityClass) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(currentActivity, newTopActivityClass);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
        intent.addFlags(0x8000); // equal to Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK which is only available from API level 11
    currentActivity.startActivity(intent);
}

call it like this from your current activity:

127 Return code from $?

Value 127 is returned by /bin/sh when the given command is not found within your PATH system variable and it is not a built-in shell command. In other words, the system doesn't understand your command, because it doesn't know where to find the binary you're trying to call.

Matplotlib different size subplots

Probably the simplest way is using subplot2grid, described in Customizing Location of Subplot Using GridSpec.

ax = plt.subplot2grid((2, 2), (0, 0))

is equal to

import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec
gs = gridspec.GridSpec(2, 2)
ax = plt.subplot(gs[0, 0])

so bmu's example becomes:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# generate some data
x = np.arange(0, 10, 0.2)
y = np.sin(x)

# plot it
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
ax0 = plt.subplot2grid((1, 3), (0, 0), colspan=2)
ax0.plot(x, y)
ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((1, 3), (0, 2))
ax1.plot(y, x)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig('grid_figure.pdf')

Json.net serialize/deserialize derived types?

If you are storing the type in your text (as you should be in this scenario), you can use the JsonSerializerSettings.

See: how to deserialize JSON into IEnumerable<BaseType> with Newtonsoft JSON.NET

Be careful, though. Using anything other than TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.None could open yourself up to a security vulnerability.

Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

If you have JAVA_HOME set but there's a typo in it, you will also see the bogus reference to a jre6 path.

How do I install Eclipse with C++ in Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)?

There is a package called eclipse-cdt in the Ubuntu 12.10 repositories, this is what you want. If you haven't got g++ already, you need to install that as well, so all you need is:

sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt g++

Whether you messed up your system with your previous installation attempts depends heavily on how you did it. If you did it the safe way for trying out new packages not from repositories (i.e., only installed in your home folder, no sudos blindly copied from installation manuals...) you're definitely fine. Otherwise, you may well have thousands of stray files all over your file system now. In that case, run all uninstall scripts you can find for the things you installed, then install using apt-get and hope for the best.

How do I install Python 3 on an AWS EC2 instance?

As @NickT said, there's no python3[4-6] in the default yum repos in Amazon Linux 2, as of today it uses 3.7 and looking at all answers here we can say it will be changed over time.

I was looking for python3.6 on Amazon Linux 2 but amazon-linux-extras shows a lot of options but no python at all. in fact, you can try to find the version you know in epel repo:

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel

yum search python | grep "^python3..x8"

vba: get unique values from array

No, nothing built-in. Do it yourself:

  • Instantiate a Scripting.Dictionary object
  • Write a For loop over your array (be sure to use LBound() and UBound() instead of looping from 0 to x!)
  • On each iteration, check Exists() on the dictionary. Add every array value (that doesn't already exist) as a key to the dictionary (use CStr() since keys must be strings as I've just learned, keys can be of any type in a Scripting.Dictionary), also store the array value itself into the dictionary.
  • When done, use Keys() (or Items()) to return all values of the dictionary as a new, now unique array.
  • In my tests, the Dictionary keeps original order of all added values, so the output will be ordered like the input was. I'm not sure if this is documented and reliable behavior, though.

How can I check if a string contains a character in C#?

Use the function String.Contains();

an example call,

CSS /JS to prevent dragging of ghost image?

This will disable dragging for an image in all browsers, while preserving other events such as click and hover. Works as long as any of HTML5, JS, or CSS are available.

<img draggable="false" onmousedown="return false" style="user-drag: none" />

If you're confident the user will have JS, you only need to use the JS attribute, etc. For more flexibility, look into ondragstart, onselectstart, and some WebKit tap/touch CSS.

Linux bash: Multiple variable assignment

I wanted to assign the values to an array. So, extending Michael Krelin's approach, I did:

read a[{1..3}] <<< $(echo 2 4 6); echo "${a[1]}|${a[2]}|${a[3]}"

which yields:

2|4|6 

as expected.

How to plot multiple functions on the same figure, in Matplotlib?

Perhaps a more pythonic way of doing so.

from numpy import *
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

t = linspace(0,2*math.pi,400)
a = sin(t)
b = cos(t)
c = a + b

plt.plot(t, a, t, b, t, c)
plt.show()

How can I check if an array contains a specific value in php?

You need to use a search algorithm on your array. It depends on how large is your array, you have plenty of choices on what to use. Or you can use on of the built in functions:

Difference between datetime and timestamp in sqlserver?

Datetime is a datatype.

Timestamp is a method for row versioning. In fact, in sql server 2008 this column type was renamed (i.e. timestamp is deprecated) to rowversion. It basically means that every time a row is changed, this value is increased. This is done with a database counter which automatically increase for every inserted or updated row.

For more information:

How to get the current time in milliseconds in C Programming

There is no portable way to get resolution of less than a second in standard C So best you can do is, use the POSIX function gettimeofday().

Error in model.frame.default: variable lengths differ

Another thing that can cause this error is creating a model with the centering/scaling standardize function from the arm package -- m <- standardize(lm(y ~ x, data = train))

If you then try predict(m), you get the same error as in this question.

How to copy files between two nodes using ansible

You can use deletgate with scp too:

- name: Copy file to another server
  become: true
  shell: "scp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null admin@{{ inventory_hostname }}:/tmp/file.yml /tmp/file.yml"
  delegate_to: other.example.com

Because of delegate the command is run on the other server and it scp's the file to itself.

Insert using LEFT JOIN and INNER JOIN

INSERT INTO Test([col1],[col2]) (
    SELECT 
        a.Name AS [col1],
        b.sub AS [col2] 
    FROM IdTable b 
    INNER JOIN Nametable a ON b.no = a.no
)

Deserialize JSON to ArrayList<POJO> using Jackson

Another way is to use an array as a type, e.g.:

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
MyPojo[] pojos = objectMapper.readValue(json, MyPojo[].class);

This way you avoid all the hassle with the Type object, and if you really need a list you can always convert the array to a list by:

List<MyPojo> pojoList = Arrays.asList(pojos);

IMHO this is much more readable.

And to make it be an actual list (that can be modified, see limitations of Arrays.asList()) then just do the following:

List<MyPojo> mcList = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(pojos));

importing external ".txt" file in python

As you can't import a .txt file, I would suggest to read words this way.

list_ = open("world.txt").read().split()

Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson

You can annotate the specific property in your POJO with @JsonIgnore.

Bootstrap: Collapse other sections when one is expanded

If you don't want to change your markup, this function does the trick:

jQuery('button').click( function(e) {
    jQuery('.collapse').collapse('hide');
});

Whenever a BUTTON is clicked, all sections become collapsed. Then bootstrap opens the one you selected.

Maven "build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.5", even though I changed it to 1.7

For imported maven project and JDK 1.7 do the following:

  1. Delete project from Eclipse (keep files)
  2. Delete .settings directory, .project and .classpath files inside your project directory.
  3. Modify your pom.xml file, add following properties (make sure following settings are not overridden by explicit maven-compiler-plugin definition in your POM)

    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
    </properties>
    
  4. Import updated project into Eclipse.

Find and replace with a newline in Visual Studio Code

In the local searchbox (ctrl + f) you can insert newlines by pressing ctrl + enter.

Skip over a value in the range function in python

In addition to the Python 2 approach here are the equivalents for Python 3:

# Create a range that does not contain 50
for i in [x for x in range(100) if x != 50]:
    print(i)

# Create 2 ranges [0,49] and [51, 100]
from itertools import chain
concatenated = chain(range(50), range(51, 100))
for i in concatenated:
    print(i)

# Create a iterator and skip 50
xr = iter(range(100))
for i in xr:
    print(i)
    if i == 49:
        next(xr)

# Simply continue in the loop if the number is 50
for i in range(100):
    if i == 50:
        continue
    print(i)

Ranges are lists in Python 2 and iterators in Python 3.

Auto increment primary key in SQL Server Management Studio 2012

When you're using Data Type: int you can select the row which you want to get autoincremented and go to the column properties tag. There you can set the identity to 'yes'. The starting value for autoincrement can also be edited there. Hope I could help ;)

How do I use the conditional operator (? :) in Ruby?

Your use of ERB suggests that you are in Rails. If so, then consider truncate, a built-in helper which will do the job for you:

Anybody knows any knowledge base open source?

Here comes another vote in favor of PHPKB knowledge base software. We came to know about PHPKB from this post on StackOverflow and bought it as recommended by Julien and Ricardo. I am glad to inform that it was a right decision. Although we had to get certain features customized according to our needs but their support team exceeded our expectations. So, I just thought of sharing the news here. We are fully satisfied with PHPKB knowledge base software.

How to display both icon and title of action inside ActionBar?

Try adding a TextView to the menubar first and using setCompoundDrawables() to place the image on whichever side you want. Bond click activity to the textview in the end.

MenuItem item = menu.add(Menu.NONE, R.id.menu_item_save, 10, R.string.save);
item.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS|MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
TextView textBtn = getTextButton(btn_title, btn_image);
item.setActionView(textBtn);
textBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
           // your selector here   }
    });

You can literally customize everything here:

public TextView getTextButton (String btn_title, Drawable btn_image) {
    TextView textBtn = new TextView(this);
    textBtn.setText(btn_title);
    textBtn.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
    textBtn.setTextSize(18);
    textBtn.setTypeface(Typeface.create("sans-serif-light", Typeface.BOLD));
    textBtn.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
    Drawable img = btn_image;
    img.setBounds(0, 0, 30, 30);
    textBtn.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, img, null); 
    // left,top,right,bottom. In this case icon is right to the text

    return textBtn;
}

how to get the first and last days of a given month

Print only current month week:

function my_week_range($date) {
    $ts = strtotime($date);
    $start = (date('w', $ts) == 0) ? $ts : strtotime('last sunday', $ts);
    echo $currentWeek = ceil((date("d",strtotime($date)) - date("w",strtotime($date)) - 1) / 7) + 1;
    $start_date = date('Y-m-d', $start);$end_date=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next saturday', $start));
    if($currentWeek==1)
        {$start_date = date('Y-m-01', strtotime($date));}
    else if($currentWeek==5)
       {$end_date = date('Y-m-t', strtotime($date));}
    else
       {}
    return array($start_date, $end_date );
}

$date_range=list($start_date, $end_date) = my_week_range($new_fdate);

The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains multiple values

This happens when you have Cors option configured at multiple locations. In my case I had it at the controller level as well as in the Startup.Auth.cs/ConfigureAuth.

My understanding is if you want it application wide then just configure it under Startup.Auth.cs/ConfigureAuth like this...You will need reference to Microsoft.Owin.Cors

public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
        {
          app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);

If you rather keep it at the controller level then you may just insert at the Controller level.

[EnableCors("http://localhost:24589", "*", "*")]
    public class ProductsController : ApiController
    {
        ProductRepository _prodRepo;

How to execute Python scripts in Windows?

When you execute a script without typing "python" in front, you need to know two things about how Windows invokes the program. First is to find out what kind of file Windows thinks it is:

    C:\>assoc .py
    .py=Python.File

Next, you need to know how Windows is executing things with that extension. It's associated with the file type "Python.File", so this command shows what it will be doing:

    C:\>ftype Python.File
    Python.File="c:\python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

So on my machine, when I type "blah.py foo", it will execute this exact command, with no difference in results than if I had typed the full thing myself:

    "c:\python26\python.exe" "blah.py" foo

If you type the same thing, including the quotation marks, then you'll get results identical to when you just type "blah.py foo". Now you're in a position to figure out the rest of your problem for yourself.

(Or post more helpful information in your question, like actual cut-and-paste copies of what you see in the console. Note that people who do that type of thing get their questions voted up, and they get reputation points, and more people are likely to help them with good answers.)

Brought In From Comments:

Even if assoc and ftype display the correct information, it may happen that the arguments are stripped off. What may help in that case is directly fixing the relevant registry keys for Python. Set the

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python26.exe\shell\open\command

key to:

"C:\Python26\python26.exe" "%1" %*

Likely, previously, %* was missing. Similarly, set

 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\py_auto_file\shell\open\command

to the same value. See http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/12/14/problem-passing-arguments-to-python-scripts-on-windows/

example registry setting for python.exe HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command The registry path may vary, use python26.exe or python.exe or whichever is already in the registry.

enter image description here HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\py_auto_file\shell\open\command

ActionLink htmlAttributes

The problem is that your anonymous object property data-icon has an invalid name. C# properties cannot have dashes in their names. There are two ways you can get around that:

Use an underscore instead of dash (MVC will automatically replace the underscore with a dash in the emitted HTML):

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "edit", "markets",
      new { id = 1 },
      new {@class="ui-btn-right", data_icon="gear"})

Use the overload that takes in a dictionary:

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "edit", "markets",
      new { id = 1 },
      new Dictionary<string, object> { { "class", "ui-btn-right" }, { "data-icon", "gear" } });

How to convert strings into integers in Python?

See this function

def parse_int(s):
    try:
        res = int(eval(str(s)))
        if type(res) == int:
            return res
    except:
        return

Then

val = parse_int('10')  # Return 10
val = parse_int('0')  # Return 0
val = parse_int('10.5')  # Return 10
val = parse_int('0.0')  # Return 0
val = parse_int('Ten')  # Return None

You can also check

if val == None:  # True if input value can not be converted
    pass  # Note: Don't use 'if not val:'

How do I clear a search box with an 'x' in bootstrap 3?

To get something like this

input with clear button

with Bootstrap 3 and Jquery use the following HTML code:

<div class="btn-group">
  <input id="searchinput" type="search" class="form-control">
  <span id="searchclear" class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"></span>
</div>

and some CSS:

#searchinput {
    width: 200px;
}
#searchclear {
    position: absolute;
    right: 5px;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    height: 14px;
    margin: auto;
    font-size: 14px;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #ccc;
}

and Javascript:

$("#searchclear").click(function(){
    $("#searchinput").val('');
});

Of course you have to write more Javascript for whatever functionality you need, e.g. to hide the 'x' if the input is empty, make Ajax requests and so on. See http://www.bootply.com/121508

How to set enum to null

would it not be better to explicitly assign value 0 to None constant? Why?

Because default enum value is equal to 0, if You would call default(Color) it would print None.

Because it is at first position, assigning literal value 0 to any other constant would change that behaviour, also changing order of occurrence would change output of default(Color) (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4967673/8611327)

Is there anything like .NET's NotImplementedException in Java?

As mentioned, the JDK does not have a close match. However, my team occasionally has a use for such an exception as well. We could have gone with UnsupportedOperationException as suggested by other answers, but we prefer a custom exception class in our base library that has deprecated constructors:

public class NotYetImplementedException extends RuntimeException
{
    /**
     * @deprecated Deprecated to remind you to implement the corresponding code
     *             before releasing the software.
     */
    @Deprecated
    public NotYetImplementedException()
    {
    }

    /**
     * @deprecated Deprecated to remind you to implement the corresponding code
     *             before releasing the software.
     */
    @Deprecated
    public NotYetImplementedException(String message)
    {
        super(message);
    }
}

This approach has the following benefits:

  1. When readers see NotYetImplementedException, they know that an implementation was planned and was either forgotten or is still in progress, whereas UnsupportedOperationException says (in line with collection contracts) that something will never be implemented. That's why we have the word "yet" in the class name. Also, an IDE can easily list the call sites.
  2. With the deprecation warning at each call site, your IDE and static code analysis tool can remind you where you still have to implement something. (This use of deprecation may feel wrong to some, but in fact deprecation is not limited to announcing removal.)
  3. The constructors are deprecated, not the class. This way, you only get a deprecation warning inside the method that needs implementing, not at the import line (JDK 9 fixed this, though).

What, exactly, is needed for "margin: 0 auto;" to work?

Off the top of my head:

  1. The element must be block-level, e.g. display: block or display: table
  2. The element must not float
  3. The element must not have a fixed or absolute position1

Off the top of other people's heads:

  1. The element must have a width that is not auto2

Note that all of these conditions must be true of the element being centered for it to work.


1 There is one exception to this: if your fixed or absolutely positioned element has left: 0; right: 0, it will center with auto margins.

2 Technically, margin: 0 auto does work with an auto width, but the auto width takes precedence over the auto margins, and the auto margins are zeroed out as a result, making it seem as though they "don't work".

How do I make a JAR from a .java file?

Often you will want to specify a manifest, like so:

jar -cvfm myJar.jar myManifest.txt myApp.class

Which reads: "create verbose jarFilename manifestFilename", followed by the files you want to include. Verbose means print messages about what it's doing.

Note that the name of the manifest file you supply can be anything, as jar will automatically rename it and put it into the right directory within the jar file.

log4net vs. Nlog

I think the general consensus is that nlog is a bit easier to configure and use. Both are quite capable, though.

How to get correlation of two vectors in python

The docs indicate that numpy.correlate is not what you are looking for:

numpy.correlate(a, v, mode='valid', old_behavior=False)[source]
  Cross-correlation of two 1-dimensional sequences.
  This function computes the correlation as generally defined in signal processing texts:
     z[k] = sum_n a[n] * conj(v[n+k])
  with a and v sequences being zero-padded where necessary and conj being the conjugate.

Instead, as the other comments suggested, you are looking for a Pearson correlation coefficient. To do this with scipy try:

from scipy.stats.stats import pearsonr   
a = [1,4,6]
b = [1,2,3]   
print pearsonr(a,b)

This gives

(0.99339926779878274, 0.073186395040328034)

You can also use numpy.corrcoef:

import numpy
print numpy.corrcoef(a,b)

This gives:

[[ 1.          0.99339927]
 [ 0.99339927  1.        ]]

String Pattern Matching In Java

That's just a matter of String.contains:

if (input.contains("{item}"))

If you need to know where it occurs, you can use indexOf:

int index = input.indexOf("{item}");
if (index != -1) // -1 means "not found"
{
    ...
}

That's fine for matching exact strings - if you need real patterns (e.g. "three digits followed by at most 2 letters A-C") then you should look into regular expressions.

EDIT: Okay, it sounds like you do want regular expressions. You might want something like this:

private static final Pattern URL_PATTERN =
    Pattern.compile("/\\{[a-zA-Z0-9]+\\}/");

...

if (URL_PATTERN.matches(input).find())

Calling a javascript function recursively

Here's one very simple example:

var counter = 0;

function getSlug(tokens) {
    var slug = '';

    if (!!tokens.length) {
        slug = tokens.shift();
        slug = slug.toLowerCase();
        slug += getSlug(tokens);

        counter += 1;
        console.log('THE SLUG ELEMENT IS: %s, counter is: %s', slug, counter);
    }

    return slug;
}

var mySlug = getSlug(['This', 'Is', 'My', 'Slug']);
console.log('THE SLUG IS: %s', mySlug);

Notice that the counter counts "backwards" in regards to what slug's value is. This is because of the position at which we are logging these values, as the function recurs before logging -- so, we essentially keep nesting deeper and deeper into the call-stack before logging takes place.

Once the recursion meets the final call-stack item, it trampolines "out" of the function calls, whereas, the first increment of counter occurs inside of the last nested call.

I know this is not a "fix" on the Questioner's code, but given the title I thought I'd generically exemplify Recursion for a better understanding of recursion, outright.

Phone Number Validation MVC

[DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)] does not come with any validation logic out of the box.

According to the docs:

When you apply the DataTypeAttribute attribute to a data field you must do the following:

  • Issue validation errors as appropriate.

The [Phone] Attribute inherits from [DataType] and was introduced in .NET Framework 4.5+ and is in .NET Core which does provide it's own flavor of validation logic. So you can use like this:

[Phone()]
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }

However, the out-of-the-box validation for Phone numbers is pretty permissive, so you might find yourself wanting to inherit from DataType and implement your own IsValid method or, as others have suggested here, use a regular expression & RegexValidator to constrain input.

Note: Use caution with Regex against unconstrained input per the best practices as .NET has made the pivot away from regular expressions in their own internal validation logic for phone numbers

String to date in Oracle with milliseconds

Oracle stores only the fractions up to second in a DATE field.

Use TIMESTAMP instead:

SELECT  TO_TIMESTAMP('2004-09-30 23:53:48,140000000', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9')
FROM    dual

, possibly casting it to a DATE then:

SELECT  CAST(TO_TIMESTAMP('2004-09-30 23:53:48,140000000', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9') AS DATE)
FROM    dual

Disable native datepicker in Google Chrome

This worked for me:

// Hide Chrome datetime picker
$('input[type="datetime-local"]').attr('type', 'text');

// Reset date values
$("#EffectiveDate").val('@Model.EffectiveDate.ToShortDateString()');
$("#TerminationDate").val('@Model.TerminationDate.ToShortDateString()');

Even though the value of the date fields was still there and correct, it did not display. That's why I reset the date values from my view model.

Fetch: reject promise and catch the error if status is not OK?

For me, fny answers really got it all. since fetch is not throwing error, we need to throw/handle the error ourselves. Posting my solution with async/await. I think it's more strait forward and readable

Solution 1: Not throwing an error, handle the error ourselves

  async _fetch(request) {
    const fetchResult = await fetch(request); //Making the req
    const result = await fetchResult.json(); // parsing the response

    if (fetchResult.ok) {
      return result; // return success object
    }


    const responseError = {
      type: 'Error',
      message: result.message || 'Something went wrong',
      data: result.data || '',
      code: result.code || '',
    };

    const error = new Error();
    error.info = responseError;

    return (error);
  }

Here if we getting an error, we are building an error object, plain JS object and returning it, the con is that we need to handle it outside. How to use:

  const userSaved = await apiCall(data); // calling fetch
  if (userSaved instanceof Error) {
    debug.log('Failed saving user', userSaved); // handle error

    return;
  }
  debug.log('Success saving user', userSaved); // handle success

Solution 2: Throwing an error, using try/catch

async _fetch(request) {
    const fetchResult = await fetch(request);
    const result = await fetchResult.json();

    if (fetchResult.ok) {
      return result;
    }

    const responseError = {
      type: 'Error',
      message: result.message || 'Something went wrong',
      data: result.data || '',
      code: result.code || '',
    };

    let error = new Error();
    error = { ...error, ...responseError };
    throw (error);
  }

Here we are throwing and error that we created, since Error ctor approve only string, Im creating the plain Error js object, and the use will be:

  try {
    const userSaved = await apiCall(data); // calling fetch
    debug.log('Success saving user', userSaved); // handle success
  } catch (e) {
    debug.log('Failed saving user', userSaved); // handle error
  }

Solution 3: Using customer error

  async _fetch(request) {
    const fetchResult = await fetch(request);
    const result = await fetchResult.json();

    if (fetchResult.ok) {
      return result;
    }

    throw new ClassError(result.message, result.data, result.code);
  }

And:

class ClassError extends Error {

  constructor(message = 'Something went wrong', data = '', code = '') {
    super();
    this.message = message;
    this.data = data;
    this.code = code;
  }

}

Hope it helped.

The $.grep() method eliminates items from an array as necessary so that only remaining items carry a given search. The test is a function that is passed an array item and the index of the item within the array. Only if the test returns true will the item be in the result array.

Finding the last index of an array

Use Array.GetUpperBound(0). Array.Length contains the number of items in the array, so reading Length -1 only works on the assumption that the array is zero based.

How do I deal with "signed/unsigned mismatch" warnings (C4018)?

Maven: add a folder or jar file into current classpath

From docs and example it is not clear that classpath manipulation is not allowed.

<configuration>
 <compilerArgs>
  <arg>classpath=${basedir}/lib/bad.jar</arg>
 </compilerArgs>
</configuration>

But see Java docs (also https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/courses/629/jdkdocs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html)

-classpath path Specifies the path javac uses to look up classes needed to run javac or being referenced by other classes you are compiling. Overrides the default or the CLASSPATH environment variable if it is set.

Maybe it is possible to get current classpath and extend it,
see in maven, how output the classpath being used?

Can the Unix list command 'ls' output numerical chmod permissions?

You don't use ls to get a file's permission information. You use the stat command. It will give you the numerical values you want. The "Unix Way" says that you should invent your own script using ls (or 'echo *') and stat and whatever else you like to give the information in the format you desire.

How do I put double quotes in a string in vba?

I find the easiest way is to double up on the quotes to handle a quote.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "IF(Sheet1!A1=0,"""",Sheet1!A1)" 

Some people like to use CHR(34)*:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "IF(Sheet1!A1=0," & CHR(34) & CHR(34) & ",Sheet1!A1)" 

*Note: CHAR() is used as an Excel cell formula, e.g. writing "=CHAR(34)" in a cell, but for VBA code you use the CHR() function.

How to change maven java home

I have two Java versions on my Ubuntu server 14.04: java 1.7 and java 1.8.

I have a project that I need to build using java 1.8.

If I check my Java version using java -version

I get

java version "1.8.0_144"

But when I did mvn -version I get:

Java version: 1.7.0_79, vendor: Oracle Corporation

To set the mvn version to java8

I do this:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/

Then when I do mvn -version I get:

Java version: 1.8.0_144, vendor: Oracle Corporation

How to put a List<class> into a JSONObject and then read that object?

Let us assume that the class is Data with two objects name and dob which are both strings.

Initially, check if the list is empty. Then, add the objects from the list to a JSONArray

JSONArray allDataArray = new JSONArray();
List<Data> sList = new ArrayList<String>();

    //if List not empty
    if (!(sList.size() ==0)) {

        //Loop index size()
        for(int index = 0; index < sList.size(); index++) {
            JSONObject eachData = new JSONObject();
            try {
                eachData.put("name", sList.get(index).getName());
                eachData.put("dob", sList.get(index).getDob());
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            allDataArray.put(eachData);
        }
    } else {
        //Do something when sList is empty
    }

Finally, add the JSONArray to a JSONObject.

JSONObject root = new JSONObject();
    try {
        root.put("data", allDataArray);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

You can further get this data as a String too.

String jsonString = root.toString();

PDO error message?

Maybe this post is too old but it may help as a suggestion for someone looking around on this : Instead of using:

 print_r($this->pdo->errorInfo());

Use PHP implode() function:

 echo 'Error occurred:'.implode(":",$this->pdo->errorInfo());

This should print the error code, detailed error information etc. that you would usually get if you were using some SQL User interface.

Hope it helps

Are there constants in JavaScript?

In JavaScript my practice has been to avoid constants as much as I can and use strings instead. Problems with constants appear when you want to expose your constants to the outside world:

For example one could implement the following Date API:

date.add(5, MyModule.Date.DAY).add(12, MyModule.Date.HOUR)

But it's much shorter and more natural to simply write:

date.add(5, "days").add(12, "hours")

This way "days" and "hours" really act like constants, because you can't change from the outside how many seconds "hours" represents. But it's easy to overwrite MyModule.Date.HOUR.

This kind of approach will also aid in debugging. If Firebug tells you action === 18 it's pretty hard to figure out what it means, but when you see action === "save" then it's immediately clear.

JavaScript - Use variable in string match

Although the match function doesn't accept string literals as regex patterns, you can use the constructor of the RegExp object and pass that to the String.match function:

var re = new RegExp(yyy, 'g');
xxx.match(re);

Any flags you need (such as /g) can go into the second parameter.

Bootstrap 3: Offset isn't working?

There is no col-??-offset-0. All "rows" assume there is no offset unless it has been specified. I think you are wanting 3 rows on a small screen and 1 row on a medium screen.

To get the result I believe you are looking for try this:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
        <p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
      </div>
      <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
        <p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
      </div>
      <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-12">
        <p>On small screen there are 3 rows, and on a medium screen 1 row</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

Keep in mind you will only see a difference on a small tablet with what you described. Medium, large, and extra small screens the columns are spanning 12.

Hope this helps.

How to save python screen output to a text file

We can simply pass the output of python inbuilt print function to a file after opening the file with the append option by using just two lines of code:

with open('filename.txt', 'a') as file:
    print('\nThis printed data will store in a file', file=file)

Hope this may resolve the issue...

Note: this code works with python3 however, python2 is not being supported currently.

How to get row count using ResultSet in Java?

Here's some code that avoids getting the count to instantiate an array, but uses an ArrayList instead and just before returning converts the ArrayList to the needed array type.

Note that Supervisor class here implements ISupervisor interface, but in Java you can't cast from object[] (that ArrayList's plain toArray() method returns) to ISupervisor[] (as I think you are able to do in C#), so you have to iterate through all list items and populate the result array.

/**
 * Get Supervisors for given program id
 * @param connection
 * @param programId
 * @return ISupervisor[]
 * @throws SQLException
 */
public static ISupervisor[] getSupervisors(Connection connection, String programId)
  throws SQLException
{
  ArrayList supervisors = new ArrayList();

  PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS);
  try {
    statement.setString(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_PARAM_PROGRAMID, programId);
    ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();  

    if (resultSet != null) {
      while (resultSet.next()) {
        Supervisor s = new Supervisor();
        s.setId(resultSet.getInt(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_RESULT_ID));
        s.setFirstName(resultSet.getString(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_RESULT_FIRSTNAME));
        s.setLastName(resultSet.getString(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_RESULT_LASTNAME));
        s.setAssignmentCount(resultSet.getInt(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_RESULT_ASSIGNMENT_COUNT));
        s.setAssignment2Count(resultSet.getInt(SQL.GET_SUPERVISORS_RESULT_ASSIGNMENT2_COUNT));
        supervisors.add(s);
      }
      resultSet.close();
    }
  } finally {
    statement.close();
  }

  int count = supervisors.size();
  ISupervisor[] result = new ISupervisor[count];
  for (int i=0; i<count; i++)
    result[i] = (ISupervisor)supervisors.get(i);
  return result;
}

Entity Framework Timeouts

If you are using Entity Framework like me, you should define Time out on Startup class as follows:

 services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"), o => o.CommandTimeout(180)));

Collectors.toMap() keyMapper -- more succinct expression?

List<Person> roster = ...;

Map<String, Person> map = 
    roster
        .stream()
        .collect(
            Collectors.toMap(p -> p.getLast(), p -> p)
        );

that would be the translation, but i havent run this or used the API. most likely you can substitute p -> p, for Function.identity(). and statically import toMap(...)

storing user input in array

You're not actually going out after the values. You would need to gather them like this:

var title   = document.getElementById("title").value;
var name    = document.getElementById("name").value;
var tickets = document.getElementById("tickets").value;

You could put all of these in one array:

var myArray = [ title, name, tickets ];

Or many arrays:

var titleArr   = [ title ];
var nameArr    = [ name ];
var ticketsArr = [ tickets ];

Or, if the arrays already exist, you can use their .push() method to push new values onto it:

var titleArr = [];

function addTitle ( title ) {
  titleArr.push( title );
  console.log( "Titles: " + titleArr.join(", ") );
}

Your save button doesn't work because you refer to this.form, however you don't have a form on the page. In order for this to work you would need to have <form> tags wrapping your fields:

I've made several corrections, and placed the changes on jsbin: http://jsbin.com/ufanep/2/edit

The new form follows:

<form>
  <h1>Please enter data</h1>
  <input id="title" type="text" />
  <input id="name" type="text" />
  <input id="tickets" type="text" />
  <input type="button" value="Save" onclick="insert()" />
  <input type="button" value="Show data" onclick="show()" />
</form>
<div id="display"></div>

There is still some room for improvement, such as removing the onclick attributes (those bindings should be done via JavaScript, but that's beyond the scope of this question).

I've also made some changes to your JavaScript. I start by creating three empty arrays:

var titles  = [];
var names   = [];
var tickets = [];

Now that we have these, we'll need references to our input fields.

var titleInput  = document.getElementById("title");
var nameInput   = document.getElementById("name");
var ticketInput = document.getElementById("tickets");

I'm also getting a reference to our message display box.

var messageBox  = document.getElementById("display");

The insert() function uses the references to each input field to get their value. It then uses the push() method on the respective arrays to put the current value into the array.

Once it's done, it cals the clearAndShow() function which is responsible for clearing these fields (making them ready for the next round of input), and showing the combined results of the three arrays.

function insert ( ) {
 titles.push( titleInput.value );
 names.push( nameInput.value );
 tickets.push( ticketInput.value );

 clearAndShow();
}

This function, as previously stated, starts by setting the .value property of each input to an empty string. It then clears out the .innerHTML of our message box. Lastly, it calls the join() method on all of our arrays to convert their values into a comma-separated list of values. This resulting string is then passed into the message box.

function clearAndShow () {
  titleInput.value = "";
  nameInput.value = "";
  ticketInput.value = "";

  messageBox.innerHTML = "";

  messageBox.innerHTML += "Titles: " + titles.join(", ") + "<br/>";
  messageBox.innerHTML += "Names: " + names.join(", ") + "<br/>";
  messageBox.innerHTML += "Tickets: " + tickets.join(", ");
}

The final result can be used online at http://jsbin.com/ufanep/2/edit

number of values in a list greater than a certain number

You can create a smaller intermediate result like this:

>>> j = [4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 3, 7, 5]
>>> len([1 for i in j if i > 5])

Java - get the current class name?

Reflection APIs

There are several Reflection APIs which return classes but these may only be accessed if a Class has already been obtained either directly or indirectly.

Class.getSuperclass()
     Returns the super class for the given class.

        Class c = javax.swing.JButton.class.getSuperclass();
        The super class of javax.swing.JButton is javax.swing.AbstractButton.

        Class.getClasses()

Returns all the public classes, interfaces, and enums that are members of the class including inherited members.

        Class<?>[] c = Character.class.getClasses();

Character contains two member classes Character.Subset and
Character.UnicodeBlock.

        Class.getDeclaredClasses()
         Returns all of the classes interfaces, and enums that are explicitly declared in this class.

        Class<?>[] c = Character.class.getDeclaredClasses();
     Character contains two public member classes Character.Subset and Character.UnicodeBlock and one private class

Character.CharacterCache.

        Class.getDeclaringClass()
        java.lang.reflect.Field.getDeclaringClass()
        java.lang.reflect.Method.getDeclaringClass()
        java.lang.reflect.Constructor.getDeclaringClass()
     Returns the Class in which these members were declared. Anonymous Class Declarations will not have a declaring class but will

have an enclosing class.

        import java.lang.reflect.Field;

            Field f = System.class.getField("out");
            Class c = f.getDeclaringClass();
            The field out is declared in System.
            public class MyClass {
                static Object o = new Object() {
                    public void m() {} 
                };
                static Class<c> = o.getClass().getEnclosingClass();
            }

     The declaring class of the anonymous class defined by o is null.

    Class.getEnclosingClass()
     Returns the immediately enclosing class of the class.

    Class c = Thread.State.class().getEnclosingClass();
     The enclosing class of the enum Thread.State is Thread.

    public class MyClass {
        static Object o = new Object() { 
            public void m() {} 
        };
        static Class<c> = o.getClass().getEnclosingClass();
    }
     The anonymous class defined by o is enclosed by MyClass.

How to update two tables in one statement in SQL Server 2005?

INNER JOIN table 2 t2 ON t1.Col1 = t2.col1 

What is the common header format of Python files?

I strongly favour minimal file headers, by which I mean just:

  • The hashbang (#! line) if this is an executable script
  • Module docstring
  • Imports, grouped in the standard way, eg:
  import os    # standard library
  import sys

  import requests  # 3rd party packages

  from mypackage import (  # local source
      mymodule,
      myothermodule,
  )

ie. three groups of imports, with a single blank line between them. Within each group, imports are sorted. The final group, imports from local source, can either be absolute imports as shown, or explicit relative imports.

Everything else is a waste of time, visual space, and is actively misleading.

If you have legal disclaimers or licencing info, it goes into a separate file. It does not need to infect every source code file. Your copyright should be part of this. People should be able to find it in your LICENSE file, not random source code.

Metadata such as authorship and dates is already maintained by your source control. There is no need to add a less-detailed, erroneous, and out-of-date version of the same info in the file itself.

I don't believe there is any other data that everyone needs to put into all their source files. You may have some particular requirement to do so, but such things apply, by definition, only to you. They have no place in “general headers recommended for everyone”.

Remove specific commit

Your choice is between

  1. keeping the error and introducing a fix and
  2. removing the error and changing the history.

You should choose (1) if the erroneous change has been picked up by anybody else and (2) if the error is limited to a private un-pushed branch.

Git revert is an automated tool to do (1), it creates a new commit undoing some previous commit. You'll see the error and removal in the project history but people who pull from your repository won't run into problems when they update. It's not working in an automated manner in your example so you need to edit 'myfile' (to remove line 2), do git add myfile and git commit to deal with the conflict. You will then end up with four commits in your history, with commit 4 reverting commit 2.

If nobody cares that your history changes, you can rewrite it and remove commit 2 (choice 2). The easy way to do this is to use git rebase -i 8230fa3. This will drop you into an editor and you can choose not to include the erroneous commit by removing the commit (and keeping "pick" next to the other commit messages. Do read up on the consequences of doing this.

Check if ADODB connection is open

This is an old topic, but in case anyone else is still looking...

I was having trouble after an undock event. An open db connection saved in a global object would error, even after reconnecting to the network. This was due to the TCP connection being forcibly terminated by remote host. (Error -2147467259: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)

However, the error would only show up after the first transaction was attempted. Up to that point, neither Connection.State nor Connection.Version (per solutions above) would reveal any error.

So I wrote the small sub below to force the error - hope it's useful.

Performance testing on my setup (Access 2016, SQL Svr 2008R2) was approx 0.5ms per call.

Function adoIsConnected(adoCn As ADODB.Connection) As Boolean

    '#RETURNS: True if the supplied db is connected and error-free, 
    '          False otherwise

    On Error Resume Next
    i = cmd.Execute.Fields(0)
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Tidy up
    Set cmd = Nothing

    'If i is 1, connection is open

How to explicitly obtain post data in Spring MVC?

If you are using one of the built-in controller instances, then one of the parameters to your controller method will be the Request object. You can call request.getParameter("value1") to get the POST (or PUT) data value.

If you are using Spring MVC annotations, you can add an annotated parameter to your method's parameters:

@RequestMapping(value = "/someUrl")
public String someMethod(@RequestParam("value1") String valueOne) {
 //do stuff with valueOne variable here
}

How to configure Docker port mapping to use Nginx as an upstream proxy?

@T0xicCode's answer is correct, but I thought I would expand on the details since it actually took me about 20 hours to finally get a working solution implemented.

If you're looking to run Nginx in its own container and use it as a reverse proxy to load balance multiple applications on the same server instance then the steps you need to follow are as such:

Link Your Containers

When you docker run your containers, typically by inputting a shell script into User Data, you can declare links to any other running containers. This means that you need to start your containers up in order and only the latter containers can link to the former ones. Like so:

#!/bin/bash
sudo docker run -p 3000:3000 --name API mydockerhub/api
sudo docker run -p 3001:3001 --link API:API --name App mydockerhub/app
sudo docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --link API:API --link App:App --name Nginx mydockerhub/nginx

So in this example, the API container isn't linked to any others, but the App container is linked to API and Nginx is linked to both API and App.

The result of this is changes to the env vars and the /etc/hosts files that reside within the API and App containers. The results look like so:

/etc/hosts

Running cat /etc/hosts within your Nginx container will produce the following:

172.17.0.5  0fd9a40ab5ec
127.0.0.1   localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
172.17.0.3  App
172.17.0.2  API



ENV Vars

Running env within your Nginx container will produce the following:

API_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.2:3000
API_PORT_3000_TCP_PROTO=tcp
API_PORT_3000_TCP_PORT=3000
API_PORT_3000_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.2

APP_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.3:3001
APP_PORT_3001_TCP_PROTO=tcp
APP_PORT_3001_TCP_PORT=3001
APP_PORT_3001_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.3

I've truncated many of the actual vars, but the above are the key values you need to proxy traffic to your containers.

To obtain a shell to run the above commands within a running container, use the following:

sudo docker exec -i -t Nginx bash

You can see that you now have both /etc/hosts file entries and env vars that contain the local IP address for any of the containers that were linked. So far as I can tell, this is all that happens when you run containers with link options declared. But you can now use this information to configure nginx within your Nginx container.



Configuring Nginx

This is where it gets a little tricky, and there's a couple of options. You can choose to configure your sites to point to an entry in the /etc/hosts file that docker created, or you can utilize the ENV vars and run a string replacement (I used sed) on your nginx.conf and any other conf files that may be in your /etc/nginx/sites-enabled folder to insert the IP values.



OPTION A: Configure Nginx Using ENV Vars

This is the option that I went with because I couldn't get the /etc/hosts file option to work. I'll be trying Option B soon enough and update this post with any findings.

The key difference between this option and using the /etc/hosts file option is how you write your Dockerfile to use a shell script as the CMD argument, which in turn handles the string replacement to copy the IP values from ENV to your conf file(s).

Here's the set of configuration files I ended up with:

Nginx-Startup.sh

sed -i 's/APP_IP/'"$APP_PORT_3001_TCP_ADDR"'/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/app.myapp.com

service nginx start

I'll leave it up to you to do your homework about most of the contents of nginx.conf and api.myapp.conf.

The magic happens in Nginx-Startup.sh where we use sed to do string replacement on the APP_IP placeholder that we've written into the upstream block of our api.myapp.conf and app.myapp.conf files.

This ask.ubuntu.com question explains it very nicely: Find and replace text within a file using commands

GOTCHA On OSX, sed handles options differently, the -i flag specifically. On Ubuntu, the -i flag will handle the replacement 'in place'; it will open the file, change the text, and then 'save over' the same file. On OSX, the -i flag requires the file extension you'd like the resulting file to have. If you're working with a file that has no extension you must input '' as the value for the -i flag.

GOTCHA To use ENV vars within the regex that sed uses to find the string you want to replace you need to wrap the var within double-quotes. So the correct, albeit wonky-looking, syntax is as above.

So docker has launched our container and triggered the Nginx-Startup.sh script to run, which has used sed to change the value APP_IP to the corresponding ENV variable we provided in the sed command. We now have conf files within our /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory that have the IP addresses from the ENV vars that docker set when starting up the container. Within your api.myapp.conf file you'll see the upstream block has changed to this:

upstream api_upstream{
    server 172.0.0.2:3000;
}

The IP address you see may be different, but I've noticed that it's usually 172.0.0.x.

You should now have everything routing appropriately.

GOTCHA You cannot restart/rerun any containers once you've run the initial instance launch. Docker provides each container with a new IP upon launch and does not seem to re-use any that its used before. So api.myapp.com will get 172.0.0.2 the first time, but then get 172.0.0.4 the next time. But Nginx will have already set the first IP into its conf files, or in its /etc/hosts file, so it won't be able to determine the new IP for api.myapp.com. The solution to this is likely to use CoreOS and its etcd service which, in my limited understanding, acts like a shared ENV for all machines registered into the same CoreOS cluster. This is the next toy I'm going to play with setting up.



OPTION B: Use /etc/hosts File Entries

This should be the quicker, easier way of doing this, but I couldn't get it to work. Ostensibly you just input the value of the /etc/hosts entry into your api.myapp.conf and app.myapp.conf files, but I couldn't get this method to work.

UPDATE: See @Wes Tod's answer for instructions on how to make this method work.

Here's the attempt that I made in api.myapp.conf:

upstream api_upstream{
    server API:3000;
}

Considering that there's an entry in my /etc/hosts file like so: 172.0.0.2 API I figured it would just pull in the value, but it doesn't seem to be.

I also had a couple of ancillary issues with my Elastic Load Balancer sourcing from all AZ's so that may have been the issue when I tried this route. Instead I had to learn how to handle replacing strings in Linux, so that was fun. I'll give this a try in a while and see how it goes.

Create a folder if it doesn't already exist

For your specific question about WordPress, use the following code:

if (!is_dir(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/uploads')) wp_mkdir_p(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/uploads');

Function Reference: WordPress wp_mkdir_p. ABSPATH is the constant that returns WordPress working directory path.

The following code is for PHP in general.

if (!is_dir('path/to/directory')) mkdir('path/to/directory', 0777, true);

Function reference: PHP is_dir()

How to set up a squid Proxy with basic username and password authentication?

Here's what I had to do to setup basic auth on Ubuntu 14.04 (didn't find a guide anywhere else)

Basic squid conf

/etc/squid3/squid.conf instead of the super bloated default config file

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid3/basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid3/passwords
auth_param basic realm proxy
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated

# Choose the port you want. Below we set it to default 3128.
http_port 3128

Please note the basic_ncsa_auth program instead of the old ncsa_auth

squid 2.x

For squid 2.x you need to edit /etc/squid/squid.conf file and place:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/digest_pw_auth /etc/squid/passwords
auth_param basic realm proxy
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated

Setting up a user

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/squid3/passwords username_you_like

and enter a password twice for the chosen username then

sudo service squid3 restart

squid 2.x

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/squid/passwords username_you_like

and enter a password twice for the chosen username then

sudo service squid restart

htdigest vs htpasswd

For the many people that asked me: the 2 tools produce different file formats:

  • htdigest stores the password in plain text.
  • htpasswd stores the password hashed (various hashing algos are available)

Despite this difference in format basic_ncsa_auth will still be able to parse a password file generated with htdigest. Hence you can alternatively use:

sudo htdigest -c /etc/squid3/passwords realm_you_like username_you_like

Beware that this approach is empirical, undocumented and may not be supported by future versions of Squid.

On Ubuntu 14.04 htdigest and htpasswd are both available in the [apache2-utils][1] package.

MacOS

Similar as above applies, but file paths are different.

Install squid

brew install squid

Start squid service

brew services start squid

Squid config file is stored at /usr/local/etc/squid.conf.

Comment or remove following line:

http_access allow localnet

Then similar to linux config (but with updated paths) add this:

auth_param basic program /usr/local/Cellar/squid/4.8/libexec/basic_ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/squid_passwords
auth_param basic realm proxy
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated

Note that path to basic_ncsa_auth may be different since it depends on installed version when using brew, you can verify this with ls /usr/local/Cellar/squid/. Also note that you should add the above just bellow the following section:

#
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
#

Now generate yourself a user:password basic auth credential (note: htpasswd and htdigest are also both available on MacOS)

htpasswd -c /usr/local/etc/squid_passwords username_you_like

Restart the squid service

brew services restart squid

How to TryParse for Enum value?

As others have said, you have to implement your own TryParse. Simon Mourier is providing a full implementation which takes care of everything.

If you are using bitfield enums (i.e. flags), you also have to handle a string like "MyEnum.Val1|MyEnum.Val2" which is a combination of two enum values. If you just call Enum.IsDefined with this string, it will return false, even though Enum.Parse handles it correctly.

Update

As mentioned by Lisa and Christian in the comments, Enum.TryParse is now available for C# in .NET4 and up.

How is OAuth 2 different from OAuth 1?

OAuth 2 is apparently a waste of time (from the mouth of someone that was heavily involved in it):

https://hueniverse.com/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell-8eec45921529

He says (edited for brevity and bolded for emphasis):

...I can no longer be associated with the OAuth 2.0 standard. I resigned my role as lead author and editor, withdraw my name from the specification, and left the working group. Removing my name from a document I have painstakingly labored over for three years and over two dozen drafts was not easy. Deciding to move on from an effort I have led for over five years was agonizing.

...At the end, I reached the conclusion that OAuth 2.0 is a bad protocol. WS-* bad. It is bad enough that I no longer want to be associated with it. ...When compared with OAuth 1.0, the 2.0 specification is more complex, less interoperable, less useful, more incomplete, and most importantly, less secure.

To be clear, OAuth 2.0 at the hand of a developer with deep understanding of web security will likely result is a secure implementation. However, at the hands of most developers – as has been the experience from the past two years – 2.0 is likely to produce insecure implementations.

Difference between margin and padding?

One key thing that is missing in the answers here:

Top/Bottom margins are collapsible.

So if you have a 20px margin at the bottom of an element and a 30px margin at the top of the next element, the margin between the two elements will be 30px rather than 50px. This does not apply to left/right margin or padding.

Getting the difference between two Dates (months/days/hours/minutes/seconds) in Swift

Xcode 8.3 • Swift 3.1 or later

You can use Calendar to help you create an extension to do your date calculations as follow:

extension Date {
    /// Returns the amount of years from another date
    func years(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year], from: date, to: self).year ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of months from another date
    func months(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.month], from: date, to: self).month ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of weeks from another date
    func weeks(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.weekOfMonth], from: date, to: self).weekOfMonth ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of days from another date
    func days(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: date, to: self).day ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of hours from another date
    func hours(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour], from: date, to: self).hour ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of minutes from another date
    func minutes(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.minute], from: date, to: self).minute ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the amount of seconds from another date
    func seconds(from date: Date) -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.second], from: date, to: self).second ?? 0
    }
    /// Returns the a custom time interval description from another date
    func offset(from date: Date) -> String {
        if years(from: date)   > 0 { return "\(years(from: date))y"   }
        if months(from: date)  > 0 { return "\(months(from: date))M"  }
        if weeks(from: date)   > 0 { return "\(weeks(from: date))w"   }
        if days(from: date)    > 0 { return "\(days(from: date))d"    }
        if hours(from: date)   > 0 { return "\(hours(from: date))h"   }
        if minutes(from: date) > 0 { return "\(minutes(from: date))m" }
        if seconds(from: date) > 0 { return "\(seconds(from: date))s" }
        return ""
    }
}

Using Date Components Formatter

let dateComponentsFormatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
dateComponentsFormatter.allowedUnits = [.second, .minute, .hour, .day, .weekOfMonth, .month, .year]
dateComponentsFormatter.maximumUnitCount = 1
dateComponentsFormatter.unitsStyle = .full
dateComponentsFormatter.string(from: Date(), to: Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: 4000000))  // "1 month"

let date1 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2014, month: 11, day: 28, hour: 5, minute: 9).date!
let date2 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2015, month: 8, day: 28, hour: 5, minute: 9).date!

let years = date2.years(from: date1)     // 0
let months = date2.months(from: date1)   // 9
let weeks = date2.weeks(from: date1)     // 39
let days = date2.days(from: date1)       // 273
let hours = date2.hours(from: date1)     // 6,553
let minutes = date2.minutes(from: date1) // 393,180
let seconds = date2.seconds(from: date1) // 23,590,800

let timeOffset = date2.offset(from: date1) // "9M"

let date3 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2014, month: 11, day: 28, hour: 5, minute: 9).date!
let date4 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2015, month: 11, day: 28, hour: 5, minute: 9).date!

let timeOffset2 = date4.offset(from: date3) // "1y"

let date5 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2017, month: 4, day: 28).date!
let now = Date()
let timeOffset3 = now.offset(from: date5) // "1w"

How do I change column default value in PostgreSQL?

How do I jump out of a foreach loop in C#?

foreach (var item in listOfItems) {
  if (condition_is_met)
    // Any processing you may need to complete here...
    break; // return true; also works if you're looking to
           // completely exit this function.
}

Should do the trick. The break statement will just end the execution of the loop, while the return statement will obviously terminate the entire function. Judging from your question you may want to use the return true; statement.

Node - how to run app.js?

Assuming I have node and npm properly installed on the machine, I would

  • Download the code
  • Navigate to inside the project folder on terminal, where I would hopefully see a package.json file
  • Do an npm install for installing all the project dependencies
  • Do an npm install -g nodemon for installing all the project dependencies
  • Then npm start OR node app.js OR nodemon app.js to get the app running on local host

Hope this helps someone

use nodemon app.js ( nodemon is a utility that will monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server)

Where does the iPhone Simulator store its data?

For iOS 8

To locate the Documents folder, you can write a file in the Documents folder:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *fileName = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Words.txt"];
NSString *content = @"Apple";
[content writeToFile:fileName atomically:NO encoding:NSStringEncodingConversionAllowLossy error:nil];

say, in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.

Then you can open a Terminal and find the folder:

$ find ~/Library -name Words.txt

How to create a numpy array of arbitrary length strings?

You can do so by creating an array of dtype=object. If you try to assign a long string to a normal numpy array, it truncates the string:

>>> a = numpy.array(['apples', 'foobar', 'cowboy'])
>>> a[2] = 'bananas'
>>> a
array(['apples', 'foobar', 'banana'], 
      dtype='|S6')

But when you use dtype=object, you get an array of python object references. So you can have all the behaviors of python strings:

>>> a = numpy.array(['apples', 'foobar', 'cowboy'], dtype=object)
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, cowboy], dtype=object)
>>> a[2] = 'bananas'
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, bananas], dtype=object)

Indeed, because it's an array of objects, you can assign any kind of python object to the array:

>>> a[2] = {1:2, 3:4}
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, {1: 2, 3: 4}], dtype=object)

However, this undoes a lot of the benefits of using numpy, which is so fast because it works on large contiguous blocks of raw memory. Working with python objects adds a lot of overhead. A simple example:

>>> a = numpy.array(['abba' for _ in range(10000)])
>>> b = numpy.array(['abba' for _ in range(10000)], dtype=object)
>>> %timeit a.copy()
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.51 us per loop
>>> %timeit b.copy()
10000 loops, best of 3: 48.4 us per loop

Owl Carousel Won't Autoplay

You should set both autoplay and autoplayTimeout properties. I used this code, and it works for me:

$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
                autoplay: true,
                autoplayTimeout: 5000,
                navigation: false,
                margin: 10,
                responsive: {
                    0: {
                        items: 1
                    },
                    600: {
                        items: 2
                    },
                    1000: {
                        items: 2
                    }
                }
            })

How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA

Always state the workbook, worksheet and the cell/range.

For example:

Thisworkbook.Worksheets("fred").cells(1,1)
Workbooks("bob").Worksheets("fred").cells(1,1)

Because end users will always just click buttons and as soon as the focus moves off of the workbook the code wants to work with then things go completely wrong.

And never use the index of a workbook.

Workbooks(1).Worksheets("fred").cells(1,1)

You don't know what other workbooks will be open when the user runs your code.

Compare two DataFrames and output their differences side-by-side

After fiddling around with @journois's answer, I was able to get it to work using MultiIndex instead of Panel due to Panel's deprication.

First, create some dummy data:

df1 = pd.DataFrame({
    'id': ['111', '222', '333', '444', '555'],
    'let': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'],
    'num': ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']
})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({
    'id': ['111', '222', '333', '444', '666'],
    'let': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'D', 'f'],
    'num': ['1', '2', 'Three', '4', '6'],
})

Then, define your diff function, in this case I'll use the one from his answer report_diff stays the same:

def report_diff(x):
    return x[0] if x[0] == x[1] else '{} | {}'.format(*x)

Then, I'm going to concatenate the data into a MultiIndex dataframe:

df_all = pd.concat(
    [df1.set_index('id'), df2.set_index('id')], 
    axis='columns', 
    keys=['df1', 'df2'],
    join='outer'
)
df_all = df_all.swaplevel(axis='columns')[df1.columns[1:]]

And finally I'm going to apply the report_diff down each column group:

df_final.groupby(level=0, axis=1).apply(lambda frame: frame.apply(report_diff, axis=1))

This outputs:

         let        num
111        a          1
222        b          2
333        c  3 | Three
444    d | D          4
555  e | nan    5 | nan
666  nan | f    nan | 6

And that is all!

How to Generate Barcode using PHP and Display it as an Image on the same page

There is a library for this BarCode PHP. You just need to include a few files:

require_once('class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('class/BCGDrawing.php');

You can generate many types of barcodes, namely 1D or 2D. Add the required library:

require_once('class/BCGcode39.barcode.php');

Generate the colours:

// The arguments are R, G, and B for color.
$colorFront = new BCGColor(0, 0, 0);
$colorBack = new BCGColor(255, 255, 255);

After you have added all the codes, you will get this way:

Example

Since several have asked for an example here is what I was able to do to get it done

require_once('class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('class/BCGDrawing.php');

require_once('class/BCGcode128.barcode.php');

header('Content-Type: image/png');

$color_white = new BCGColor(255, 255, 255);

$code = new BCGcode128();
$code->parse('HELLO');

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('', $color_white);
$drawing->setBarcode($code);

$drawing->draw();
$drawing->finish(BCGDrawing::IMG_FORMAT_PNG);

If you want to actually create the image file so you can save it then change

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('', $color_white);

to

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('image.png', $color_white);

Can a java lambda have more than 1 parameter?

For something with 2 parameters, you could use BiFunction. If you need more, you can define your own function interface, like so:

@FunctionalInterface
public interface FourParameterFunction<T, U, V, W, R> {
    public R apply(T t, U u, V v, W w);
}

If there is more than one parameter, you need to put parentheses around the argument list, like so:

FourParameterFunction<String, Integer, Double, Person, String> myLambda = (a, b, c, d) -> {
    // do something
    return "done something";
};

What does body-parser do with express?

It parses the HTTP request body. This is usually necessary when you need to know more than just the URL you hit, particular in the context of a POST or PUT PATCH HTTP request where the information you want is contains in the body.

Basically its a middleware for parsing JSON, plain text, or just returning a raw Buffer object for you to deal with as you require.

"You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified aggregate function"

The error is because fName is included in the SELECT list, but is not included in a GROUP BY clause and is not part of an aggregate function (Count(), Min(), Max(), Sum(), etc.)

You can fix that problem by including fName in a GROUP BY. But then you will face the same issue with surname. So put both in the GROUP BY:

SELECT
    fName,
    surname,
    Count(*) AS num_rows
FROM
    author
    INNER JOIN book
    ON author.aID = book.authorID;
GROUP BY
    fName,
    surname

Note I used Count(*) where you wanted SUM(orders.quantity). However, orders isn't included in the FROM section of your query, so you must include it before you can Sum() one of its fields.

If you have Access available, build the query in the query designer. It can help you understand what features are possible and apply the correct Access SQL syntax.

Drop rows with all zeros in pandas data frame

One-liner. No transpose needed:

df.loc[~(df==0).all(axis=1)]

And for those who like symmetry, this also works...

df.loc[(df!=0).any(axis=1)]

Creating pdf files at runtime in c#

Well, free and not-for-free, I use WebSuperGoo ABCpdf .NET component, that I just love it!

not-for-free because you need to pay for it.

for free because even if you have to pay, they have a trial version and you can request a free license if you do not mind that, in your site show "This site uses WebSuperGoo ABCpdf .NET component" with a link to their website.

I did that and I got a free license (version 5 in that time) so, I can say that it works (even if the website is no longer online) - I still have and use the component ~:)

A wonderful thing that I love with this is that you can do everything that you can thing off with this, create PDF forms and dynamically fill them and send to user by mail or have them to download it, create a pdf from scratch, convert HTML pages into PDF, etc etc etc, please read the documentation, it is a wonderful component.

Read a Csv file with powershell and capture corresponding data

Old topic, but never clearly answered. I've been working on similar as well, and found the solution:

The pipe (|) in this code sample from Austin isn't the delimiter, but to pipe the ForEach-Object, so if you want to use it as delimiter, you need to do this:

Import-Csv H:\Programs\scripts\SomeText.csv -delimiter "|" |`
ForEach-Object {
    $Name += $_.Name
    $Phone += $_."Phone Number"
}

Spent a good 15 minutes on this myself before I understood what was going on. Hope the answer helps the next person reading this avoid the wasted minutes! (Sorry for expanding on your comment Austin)

The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead

  1. Why is this happening?

    The entire ext/mysql PHP extension, which provides all functions named with the prefix mysql_, was officially deprecated in PHP v5.5.0 and removed in PHP v7.

    It was originally introduced in PHP v2.0 (November 1997) for MySQL v3.20, and no new features have been added since 2006. Coupled with the lack of new features are difficulties in maintaining such old code amidst complex security vulnerabilities.

    The manual has contained warnings against its use in new code since June 2011.

  2. How can I fix it?

    As the error message suggests, there are two other MySQL extensions that you can consider: MySQLi and PDO_MySQL, either of which can be used instead of ext/mysql. Both have been in PHP core since v5.0, so if you're using a version that is throwing these deprecation errors then you can almost certainly just start using them right away—i.e. without any installation effort.

    They differ slightly, but offer a number of advantages over the old extension including API support for transactions, stored procedures and prepared statements (thereby providing the best way to defeat SQL injection attacks). PHP developer Ulf Wendel has written a thorough comparison of the features.

    Hashphp.org has an excellent tutorial on migrating from ext/mysql to PDO.

  3. I understand that it's possible to suppress deprecation errors by setting error_reporting in php.ini to exclude E_DEPRECATED:

    error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED
    

    What will happen if I do that?

    Yes, it is possible to suppress such error messages and continue using the old ext/mysql extension for the time being. But you really shouldn't do this—this is a final warning from the developers that the extension may not be bundled with future versions of PHP (indeed, as already mentioned, it has been removed from PHP v7). Instead, you should take this opportunity to migrate your application now, before it's too late.

    Note also that this technique will suppress all E_DEPRECATED messages, not just those to do with the ext/mysql extension: therefore you may be unaware of other upcoming changes to PHP that would affect your application code. It is, of course, possible to only suppress errors that arise on the expression at issue by using PHP's error control operator—i.e. prepending the relevant line with @—however this will suppress all errors raised by that expression, not just E_DEPRECATED ones.


What should you do?

  • You are starting a new project.

    There is absolutely no reason to use ext/mysql—choose one of the other, more modern, extensions instead and reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.

  • You have (your own) legacy codebase that currently depends upon ext/mysql.

    It would be wise to perform regression testing: you really shouldn't be changing anything (especially upgrading PHP) until you have identified all of the potential areas of impact, planned around each of them and then thoroughly tested your solution in a staging environment.

    • Following good coding practice, your application was developed in a loosely integrated/modular fashion and the database access methods are all self-contained in one place that can easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.

      Spend half an hour rewriting this module to use one of the other, more modern, extensions; test thoroughly. You can later introduce further refinements to reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.

    • The database access methods are scattered all over the place and cannot easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.

      Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.

      You should begin planning to replace ext/mysql with one of the other, more modern, extensions in order that you can reap the rewards of the benefits they offer; you might also use it as an opportunity to refactor your database access methods into a more modular structure.

      However, if you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.

  • You are using a third party project that depends upon ext/mysql.

    Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.

    Check whether the developer has released any fixes, workarounds or guidance in relation to this specific issue; or, if not, pressure them to do so by bringing this matter to their attention. If you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.

    It is absolutely essential to perform regression testing.

Load and execute external js file in node.js with access to local variables?

If you are writing code for Node, using Node modules as described by Ivan is without a doubt the way to go.

However, if you need to load JavaScript that has already been written and isn't aware of node, the vm module is the way to go (and definitely preferable to eval).

For example, here is my execfile module, which evaluates the script at path in either context or the global context:

var vm = require("vm");
var fs = require("fs");
module.exports = function(path, context) {
  var data = fs.readFileSync(path);
  vm.runInNewContext(data, context, path);
}

Also note: modules loaded with require(…) don't have access to the global context.

I found this checking this question out.

How do I use .toLocaleTimeString() without displaying seconds?

How to check a string for specific characters?

My simple, simple, simple approach! =D

Code

string_to_test = "The criminals stole $1,000,000 in jewels."
chars_to_check = ["$", ",", "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"]
for char in chars_to_check:
    if char in string_to_test:
        print("Char \"" + char + "\" detected!")

Output

Char "$" detected!
Char "," detected!
Char "0" detected!
Char "1" detected!

Thanks!

How to properly add cross-site request forgery (CSRF) token using PHP

For security code, please don't generate your tokens this way: $token = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE));

Try this out:

Generating a CSRF Token

PHP 7

session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
    $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
}
$token = $_SESSION['token'];

Sidenote: One of my employer's open source projects is an initiative to backport random_bytes() and random_int() into PHP 5 projects. It's MIT licensed and available on Github and Composer as paragonie/random_compat.

PHP 5.3+ (or with ext-mcrypt)

session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
    if (function_exists('mcrypt_create_iv')) {
        $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(mcrypt_create_iv(32, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
    } else {
        $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(32));
    }
}
$token = $_SESSION['token'];

Verifying the CSRF Token

Don't just use == or even ===, use hash_equals() (PHP 5.6+ only, but available to earlier versions with the hash-compat library).

if (!empty($_POST['token'])) {
    if (hash_equals($_SESSION['token'], $_POST['token'])) {
         // Proceed to process the form data
    } else {
         // Log this as a warning and keep an eye on these attempts
    }
}

Going Further with Per-Form Tokens

You can further restrict tokens to only be available for a particular form by using hash_hmac(). HMAC is a particular keyed hash function that is safe to use, even with weaker hash functions (e.g. MD5). However, I recommend using the SHA-2 family of hash functions instead.

First, generate a second token for use as an HMAC key, then use logic like this to render it:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="<?php
    echo hash_hmac('sha256', '/my_form.php', $_SESSION['second_token']);
?>" />

And then using a congruent operation when verifying the token:

$calc = hash_hmac('sha256', '/my_form.php', $_SESSION['second_token']);
if (hash_equals($calc, $_POST['token'])) {
    // Continue...
}

The tokens generated for one form cannot be reused in another context without knowing $_SESSION['second_token']. It is important that you use a separate token as an HMAC key than the one you just drop on the page.

Bonus: Hybrid Approach + Twig Integration

Anyone who uses the Twig templating engine can benefit from a simplified dual strategy by adding this filter to their Twig environment:

$twigEnv->addFunction(
    new \Twig_SimpleFunction(
        'form_token',
        function($lock_to = null) {
            if (empty($_SESSION['token'])) {
                $_SESSION['token'] = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
            }
            if (empty($_SESSION['token2'])) {
                $_SESSION['token2'] = random_bytes(32);
            }
            if (empty($lock_to)) {
                return $_SESSION['token'];
            }
            return hash_hmac('sha256', $lock_to, $_SESSION['token2']);
        }
    )
);

With this Twig function, you can use both the general purpose tokens like so:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ form_token() }}" />

Or the locked down variant:

<input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ form_token('/my_form.php') }}" />

Twig is only concerned with template rendering; you still must validate the tokens properly. In my opinion, the Twig strategy offers greater flexibility and simplicity, while maintaining the possibility for maximum security.


Single-Use CSRF Tokens

If you have a security requirement that each CSRF token is allowed to be usable exactly once, the simplest strategy regenerate it after each successful validation. However, doing so will invalidate every previous token which doesn't mix well with people who browse multiple tabs at once.

Paragon Initiative Enterprises maintains an Anti-CSRF library for these corner cases. It works with one-use per-form tokens, exclusively. When enough tokens are stored in the session data (default configuration: 65535), it will cycle out the oldest unredeemed tokens first.

Storing data into list with class

This line is your problem:

lstemail.Add("JOhn","Smith","Los Angeles");

There is no direct cast from 3 strings to your custom class. The compiler has no way of figuring out what you're trying to do with this line. You need to Add() an instance of the class to lstemail:

lstemail.Add(new EmailData { FirstName = "JOhn", LastName = "Smith", Location = "Los Angeles" });

Safe Area of Xcode 9

Apple introduced the topLayoutGuide and bottomLayoutGuide as properties of UIViewController way back in iOS 7. They allowed you to create constraints to keep your content from being hidden by UIKit bars like the status, navigation or tab bar. These layout guides are deprecated in iOS 11 and replaced by a single safe area layout guide.
