How to iterate object in JavaScript?

There's this way too (new to EcmaScript5):

dictionary.data.forEach(function(item){
    console.log(item.name + ' ' + item.id);
});

Same approach for images

How to change Vagrant 'default' machine name?

Yes, for Virtualbox provider do something like this:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    # ...other options...
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |p|
        p.name = "something-else"
    end

How to resize superview to fit all subviews with autolayout?

Eric Baker's comment tipped me off to the core idea that in order for a view to have its size be determined by the content placed within it, then the content placed within it must have an explicit relationship with the containing view in order to drive its height (or width) dynamically. "Add subview" does not create this relationship as you might assume. You have to choose which subview is going to drive the height and/or width of the container... most commonly whatever UI element you have placed in the lower right hand corner of your overall UI. Here's some code and inline comments to illustrate the point.

Note, this may be of particular value to those working with scroll views since it's common to design around a single content view that determines its size (and communicates this to the scroll view) dynamically based on whatever you put in it. Good luck, hope this helps somebody out there.

//
//  ViewController.m
//  AutoLayoutDynamicVerticalContainerHeight
//

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIView *contentView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) UILabel *myLabel;
@property (strong, nonatomic) UILabel *myOtherLabel;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    // INVOKE SUPER
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // INIT ALL REQUIRED UI ELEMENTS
    self.contentView = [[UIView alloc] init];
    self.myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    self.myOtherLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    NSDictionary *viewsDictionary = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(_contentView, _myLabel, _myOtherLabel);

    // TURN AUTO LAYOUT ON FOR EACH ONE OF THEM
    self.contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
    self.myLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
    self.myOtherLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;

    // ESTABLISH VIEW HIERARCHY
    [self.view addSubview:self.contentView]; // View adds content view
    [self.contentView addSubview:self.myLabel]; // Content view adds my label (and all other UI... what's added here drives the container height (and width))
    [self.contentView addSubview:self.myOtherLabel];

    // LAYOUT

    // Layout CONTENT VIEW (Pinned to left, top. Note, it expects to get its vertical height (and horizontal width) dynamically based on whatever is placed within).
    // Note, if you don't want horizontal width to be driven by content, just pin left AND right to superview.
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|[_contentView]" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]]; // Only pinned to left, no horizontal width yet
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[_contentView]" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]]; // Only pinned to top, no vertical height yet

    /* WHATEVER WE ADD NEXT NEEDS TO EXPLICITLY "PUSH OUT ON" THE CONTAINING CONTENT VIEW SO THAT OUR CONTENT DYNAMICALLY DETERMINES THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINING VIEW */
    // ^To me this is what's weird... but okay once you understand...

    // Layout MY LABEL (Anchor to upper left with default margin, width and height are dynamic based on text, font, etc (i.e. UILabel has an intrinsicContentSize))
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|-[_myLabel]" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]];
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|-[_myLabel]" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]];

    // Layout MY OTHER LABEL (Anchored by vertical space to the sibling label that comes before it)
    // Note, this is the view that we are choosing to use to drive the height (and width) of our container...

    // The LAST "|" character is KEY, it's what drives the WIDTH of contentView (red color)
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|-[_myOtherLabel]-|" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]];

    // Again, the LAST "|" character is KEY, it's what drives the HEIGHT of contentView (red color)
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[_myLabel]-[_myOtherLabel]-|" options:0 metrics:0 views:viewsDictionary]];

    // COLOR VIEWS
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
    self.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    self.myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
    self.myOtherLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];

    // CONFIGURE VIEWS

    // Configure MY LABEL
    self.myLabel.text = @"HELLO WORLD\nLine 2\nLine 3, yo";
    self.myLabel.numberOfLines = 0; // Let it flow

    // Configure MY OTHER LABEL
    self.myOtherLabel.text = @"My OTHER label... This\nis the UI element I'm\narbitrarily choosing\nto drive the width and height\nof the container (the red view)";

How to parse JSON in Java

A - Explanation

You can use Jackson libraries, for binding JSON String into POJO (Plain Old Java Object) instances. POJO is simply a class with only private fields and public getter/setter methods. Jackson is going to traverse the methods (using reflection), and maps the JSON object into the POJO instance as the field names of the class fits to the field names of the JSON object.

In your JSON object, which is actually a composite object, the main object consists o two sub-objects. So, our POJO classes should have the same hierarchy. I'll call the whole JSON Object as Page object. Page object consist of a PageInfo object, and a Post object array.

So we have to create three different POJO classes;

  • Page Class, a composite of PageInfo Class and array of Post Instances
  • PageInfo Class
  • Posts Class

The only package I've used is Jackson ObjectMapper, what we do is binding data;

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper

The required dependencies, the jar files is listed below;

  • jackson-core-2.5.1.jar
  • jackson-databind-2.5.1.jar
  • jackson-annotations-2.5.0.jar

Here is the required code;

B - Main POJO Class : Page

package com.levo.jsonex.model;

public class Page {

    private PageInfo pageInfo;
    private Post[] posts;

    public PageInfo getPageInfo() {
        return pageInfo;
    }

    public void setPageInfo(PageInfo pageInfo) {
        this.pageInfo = pageInfo;
    }

    public Post[] getPosts() {
        return posts;
    }

    public void setPosts(Post[] posts) {
        this.posts = posts;
    }

}

C - Child POJO Class : PageInfo

package com.levo.jsonex.model;

public class PageInfo {

    private String pageName;
    private String pagePic;

    public String getPageName() {
        return pageName;
    }

    public void setPageName(String pageName) {
        this.pageName = pageName;
    }

    public String getPagePic() {
        return pagePic;
    }

    public void setPagePic(String pagePic) {
        this.pagePic = pagePic;
    }

}

D - Child POJO Class : Post

package com.levo.jsonex.model;

public class Post {

    private String post_id;
    private String actor_id;
    private String picOfPersonWhoPosted;
    private String nameOfPersonWhoPosted;
    private String message;
    private int likesCount;
    private String[] comments;
    private int timeOfPost;

    public String getPost_id() {
        return post_id;
    }

    public void setPost_id(String post_id) {
        this.post_id = post_id;
    }

    public String getActor_id() {
        return actor_id;
    }

    public void setActor_id(String actor_id) {
        this.actor_id = actor_id;
    }

    public String getPicOfPersonWhoPosted() {
        return picOfPersonWhoPosted;
    }

    public void setPicOfPersonWhoPosted(String picOfPersonWhoPosted) {
        this.picOfPersonWhoPosted = picOfPersonWhoPosted;
    }

    public String getNameOfPersonWhoPosted() {
        return nameOfPersonWhoPosted;
    }

    public void setNameOfPersonWhoPosted(String nameOfPersonWhoPosted) {
        this.nameOfPersonWhoPosted = nameOfPersonWhoPosted;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    public int getLikesCount() {
        return likesCount;
    }

    public void setLikesCount(int likesCount) {
        this.likesCount = likesCount;
    }

    public String[] getComments() {
        return comments;
    }

    public void setComments(String[] comments) {
        this.comments = comments;
    }

    public int getTimeOfPost() {
        return timeOfPost;
    }

    public void setTimeOfPost(int timeOfPost) {
        this.timeOfPost = timeOfPost;
    }

}

E - Sample JSON File : sampleJSONFile.json

I've just copied your JSON sample into this file and put it under the project folder.

   "pageInfo": {
         "pageName": "abc",
         "pagePic": "http://example.com/content.jpg"
    },

How to check if the string is empty?

Test empty or blank string (shorter way):

if myString.strip():
    print("it's not an empty or blank string")
else:
    print("it's an empty or blank string")

Replace missing values with column mean

# Lets say I have a dataframe , df as following -
df <- data.frame(a=c(2,3,4,NA,5,NA),b=c(1,2,3,4,NA,NA))

# create a custom function
fillNAwithMean <- function(x){
    na_index <- which(is.na(x))        
    mean_x <- mean(x, na.rm=T)
    x[na_index] <- mean_x
    return(x)
}

(df <- apply(df,2,fillNAwithMean))
   a   b
2.0 1.0
3.0 2.0
4.0 3.0
3.5 4.0
5.0 2.5
3.5 2.5

How do I pass a list as a parameter in a stored procedure?

I solved this problem through the following:

  1. In C # I built a String variable.

string userId="";

  1. I put my list's item in this variable. I separated the ','.

for example: in C#

userId= "5,44,72,81,126";

and Send to SQL-Server

 SqlParameter param = cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@user_id_list",userId);
  1. I Create Separated Function in SQL-server For Convert my Received List (that it's type is NVARCHAR(Max)) to Table.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitInts  
(  
   @List      VARCHAR(MAX),  
   @Delimiter VARCHAR(255)  
)  
RETURNS TABLE  
AS  
  RETURN ( SELECT Item = CONVERT(INT, Item) FROM  
      ( SELECT Item = x.i.value('(./text())[1]', 'varchar(max)')  
        FROM ( SELECT [XML] = CONVERT(XML, '<i>'  
        + REPLACE(@List, @Delimiter, '</i><i>') + '</i>').query('.')  
          ) AS a CROSS APPLY [XML].nodes('i') AS x(i) ) AS y  
      WHERE Item IS NOT NULL  
  );
  1. In the main Store Procedure, using the command below, I use the entry list.

SELECT user_id = Item FROM dbo.SplitInts(@user_id_list, ',');

Is there a splice method for strings?

Edit

This is of course not the best way to "splice" a string, I had given this as an example of how the implementation would be, which is flawed and very evident from a split(), splice() and join(). For a far better implementation, see Louis's method.


No, there is no such thing as a String.splice, but you can try this:

newStr = str.split(''); // or newStr = [...str];
newStr.splice(2,5);
newStr = newStr.join('');

I realise there is no splice function as in Arrays, so you have to convert the string into an array. Hard luck...

Angular: Can't find Promise, Map, Set and Iterator

I managed to fix this issue without having to add any triple-slash reference to the TS bootstrap file, change to ES6 (which brings a bunch of issues, just as @DatBoi said) update VS2015's NodeJS and/or NPM bundled builds or install typings globally.

Here's what I did in few steps:

  • added typings in the project's package.json file.
  • added a script block in the package.json file to execute/update typings after each NPM action.
  • added a typings.json file in the project's root folder containing a reference to core-js, which is one of the best shim/polyfill packages out there at the moment to fix ES5/ES6 issues.

Here's how the package.json file should look like (relevant lines only):

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "name": "YourProject",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "typings": "^1.3.2",
    ...
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "scripts": {
      "postinstall": "typings install"
  }
}

And here's the typings.json file:

{
  "globalDependencies": {
    "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160602141332",
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160621231320"
  }
}

(Jasmine and Node are not required, but I suggest to keep them in case you'll need to in the future).

This fix is working fine with Angular2 RC1 to RC4, which is what I needed, but I think it will also fix similar issues with other ES6-enabled library packages as well.

AFAIK, I think this is the cleanest possible way of fixing it without messing up the VS2015 default settings.

For more info and a detailed analysis of the issue, I also suggest to read this post on my blog.

Difference between WebStorm and PHPStorm

Essentially, PHPStorm = WebStorm + PHP, SQL and more.

BUT (and this is a very important "but") because it is capable of parsing so much more, it quite often fails to parse Node.js dependencies, as they (probably) conflict with some other syntax it is capable of parsing.

The most notable example of that would be Mongoose model definition, where WebStorm easily recognizes mongoose.model method, whereas PHPStorm marks it as unresolved as soon as you connect Node.js plugin.

Surprisingly, it manages to resolve the method if you turn the plugin off, but leave the core modules connected, but then it cannot be used for debugging. And this happens to quite a few methods out there.

All this goes for PHPStorm 8.0.1, maybe in later releases this annoying bug would be fixed.

How to clear all input fields in a specific div with jQuery?

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/simple/BdQvp/

You can do it like so:

I have added two buttons in the Fiddle to illustrate how you can insert or clear values in those input fields through buttons. You just capture the onClick event and call the function.

//Fires when the Document Loads, clears all input fields
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.fetch_results').find('input:text').val('');    
});

//Custom Functions that you can call
function resetAllValues() {
  $('.fetch_results').find('input:text').val('');
}

function addSomeValues() {
  $('.fetch_results').find('input:text').val('Lala.');
}

Update:

Check out this great answer below by Beena as well for a more universal approach.

Convert date formats in bash

It's enough to do:

data=`date`
datatime=`date -d "${data}" '+%Y%m%d'`
echo $datatime
20190206

If you want to add also the time you can use in that way

data=`date`
datatime=`date -d "${data}" '+%Y%m%d %T'`

echo $data
Wed Feb 6 03:57:15 EST 2019

echo $datatime
20190206 03:57:15

adding to window.onload event?

This might not be a popular option, but sometimes the scripts end up being distributed in various chunks, in that case I've found this to be a quick fix

if(window.onload != null){var f1 = window.onload;}
window.onload=function(){
    //do something

    if(f1!=null){f1();}
}

then somewhere else...

if(window.onload != null){var f2 = window.onload;}
window.onload=function(){
    //do something else

    if(f2!=null){f2();}
}

this will update the onload function and chain as needed

grep a file, but show several surrounding lines?

$ grep thestring thefile -5

-5 gets you 5 lines above and below the match 'thestring' is equivalent to -C 5 or -A 5 -B 5.

Error sending json in POST to web API service

  1. You have to must add header property Content-Type:application/json
  2. When you define any POST request method input parameter that should be annotated as [FromBody], e.g.:

    [HttpPost]
    public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromBody]ActivityResult ar)
    {
      return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
    
  3. Any JSON input data must be raw data.

Repeating a function every few seconds

There are lot of different Timers in the .NET BCL:

When to use which?

  • System.Timers.Timer, which fires an event and executes the code in one or more event sinks at regular intervals. The class is intended for use as a server-based or service component in a multithreaded environment; it has no user interface and is not visible at runtime.
  • System.Threading.Timer, which executes a single callback method on a thread pool thread at regular intervals. The callback method is defined when the timer is instantiated and cannot be changed. Like the System.Timers.Timer class, this class is intended for use as a server-based or service component in a multithreaded environment; it has no user interface and is not visible at runtime.
  • System.Windows.Forms.Timer (.NET Framework only), a Windows Forms component that fires an event and executes the code in one or more event sinks at regular intervals. The component has no user interface and is designed for use in a single-threaded environment; it executes on the UI thread.
  • System.Web.UI.Timer (.NET Framework only), an ASP.NET component that performs asynchronous or synchronous web page postbacks at a regular interval.
  • System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer, a timer that's integrated into the Dispatcher queue. This timer is processed with a specified priority at a specified time interval.

Source


Some of them needs explicit Start call to begin ticking (for example System.Timers, System.Windows.Forms). And an explicit Stop to finish ticking.

using TimersTimer = System.Timers.Timer;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var timer = new TimersTimer(1000);
    timer.Elapsed += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine("Beep");
    Thread.Sleep(1000); //1 second delay
    timer.Start();
    Console.ReadLine();
    timer.Stop();

}

While on the other hand there are some Timers (like: System.Threading) where you don't need explicit Start and Stop calls. (The provided delegate will run a background thread.) Your timer will tick until you or the runtime dispose it.

So, the following two versions will work in the same way:

using ThreadingTimer = System.Threading.Timer;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var timer = new ThreadingTimer(_ => Console.WriteLine("Beep"), null, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
    Console.ReadLine();
}
using ThreadingTimer = System.Threading.Timer;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    StartTimer();
    Console.ReadLine();
}

static void StartTimer()
{
    var timer = new ThreadingTimer(_ => Console.WriteLine("Beep"), null, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}

But if your timer disposed then it will stop ticking obviously.

using ThreadingTimer = System.Threading.Timer; 

static void Main(string[] args)

Scanner vs. StringTokenizer vs. String.Split

Split is slow, but not as slow as Scanner. StringTokenizer is faster than split. However, I found that I could obtain double the speed, by trading some flexibility, to get a speed-boost, which I did at JFastParser https://github.com/hughperkins/jfastparser

Testing on a string containing one million doubles:

Scanner: 10642 ms
Split: 715 ms
StringTokenizer: 544ms
JFastParser: 290ms

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

@eljenso : intrafest-servlet.xml webapplication context xml will be used if the application uses SPRING WEB MVC.

Otherwise the @kosoant configuration is fine.

Simple example if you dont use SPRING WEB MVC, but want to utitlize SPRING IOC :

In web.xml:

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

Then, your application-context.xml will contain: <import resource="foo-services.xml"/> these import statements to load various application context files and put into main application-context.xml.

Thanks and hope this helps.

Ubuntu says "bash: ./program Permission denied"

Sounds like you don't have the execute flag set on the file permissions, try:

chmod u+x program_name

How to use the IEqualityComparer

Just code, with implementation of GetHashCode and NULL validation:

public class Class_reglementComparer : IEqualityComparer<Class_reglement>
{
    public bool Equals(Class_reglement x, Class_reglement y)
    {
        if (x is null || y is null))
            return false;

        return x.Numf == y.Numf;
    }

    public int GetHashCode(Class_reglement product)
    {
        //Check whether the object is null 
        if (product is null) return 0;

        //Get hash code for the Numf field if it is not null. 
        int hashNumf = product.hashNumf == null ? 0 : product.hashNumf.GetHashCode();

        return hashNumf;
    }
}

Example: list of Class_reglement distinct by Numf

List<Class_reglement> items = items.Distinct(new Class_reglementComparer());

Difference between Fact table and Dimension table?

From my point of view,

  • Dimension table : Master Data
  • Fact table : Transactional Data

How update the _id of one MongoDB Document?

You cannot update it. You'll have to save the document using a new _id, and then remove the old document.

// store the document in a variable
doc = db.clients.findOne({_id: ObjectId("4cc45467c55f4d2d2a000002")})

// set a new _id on the document
doc._id = ObjectId("4c8a331bda76c559ef000004")

// insert the document, using the new _id
db.clients.insert(doc)

// remove the document with the old _id
db.clients.remove({_id: ObjectId("4cc45467c55f4d2d2a000002")})

Specify system property to Maven project

I have learned it is also possible to do this with the exec-maven-plugin if you're doing a "standalone" java app.

            <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${maven.exec.plugin.version}</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>java</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <mainClass>${exec.main-class}</mainClass>
                <systemProperties>
                    <systemProperty>
                        <key>myproperty</key>
                        <value>myvalue</value>
                    </systemProperty>
                </systemProperties>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

Use a JSON array with objects with javascript

This is your dataArray:

[
   {
      "id":28,
      "Title":"Sweden"
   },
   {
      "id":56,
      "Title":"USA"
   },
   {
      "id":89,
      "Title":"England"
   }
]

Then parseJson can be used:

$(jQuery.parseJSON(JSON.stringify(dataArray))).each(function() {  
    var ID = this.id;
    var TITLE = this.Title;
});

Add a prefix string to beginning of each line

SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

YourPrefix=blabla

YourPath=C:\path

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (!YourPath!\longfile.csv)     do (echo !YourPrefix!%%a) >> !YourPath!\Archive\output.csv

Arrays in type script

You can also do this as well (shorter cut) instead of having to do instance declaration. You do this in JSON instead.

class Book {
    public BookId: number;
    public Title: string;
    public Author: string;
    public Price: number;
    public Description: string;
}

var bks: Book[] = [];

 bks.push({BookId: 1, Title:"foo", Author:"foo", Price: 5, Description: "foo"});   //This is all done in JSON.

How to send email in ASP.NET C#

Just pass parameter like body - The content(query) from the customer
subject - subject that defined in mail subject
username - nothing name anything
mail - mail (required)

   public static bool SendMail(String body, String subject, string username, String mail)
    {
        bool isSendSuccess = false;
        try
        {
            var fromEmailAddress = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailAddress"].ToString();
            var fromEmailDisplayName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailDisplayName"].ToString();
            var fromEmailPassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FromEmailPassword"].ToString();
            var smtpHost = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPHost"].ToString();
            var smtpPort = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SMTPPort"].ToString();


            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(new MailAddress(fromEmailAddress, fromEmailDisplayName),
                new MailAddress(mail, username));
            message.Subject = subject;
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;
            message.Body = body;

            var client = new SmtpClient();
            client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromEmailAddress, fromEmailPassword);
            client.Host = smtpHost;
            client.EnableSsl = false;
            client.Port = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(smtpPort) ? Convert.ToInt32(smtpPort) : 0;
            client.Send(message);
            isSendSuccess = true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw (new Exception("Mail send failed to loginId " + mail + ", though registration done."+ex.ToString()+"\n"+ex.StackTrace));
        }

        return isSendSuccess;
    }

if your using go daddy server this work . add this in web.config

  <appSettings>
    ---other ---setting

    <add key="FromEmailAddress" value="[email protected]" />
    <add key="FromEmailDisplayName" value="anyname" />

How does Facebook Sharer select Images and other metadata when sharing my URL?

Put the following tag in the head:

As far as what it chooses as the default in the absence of this tag, I'm not sure.

Java JTextField with input hint

You could create your own:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.FocusListener;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    final JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    final JTextField textFieldA = new HintTextField("A hint here");
    final JTextField textFieldB = new HintTextField("Another hint here");

    frame.add(textFieldA, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.add(textFieldB, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    JButton btnGetText = new JButton("Get text");

    btnGetText.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      @Override
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        String message = String.format("textFieldA='%s', textFieldB='%s'",
            textFieldA.getText(), textFieldB.getText());
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, message);
      }
    });

    frame.add(btnGetText, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.pack();
  }
}

class HintTextField extends JTextField implements FocusListener {

  private final String hint;
  private boolean showingHint;

  public HintTextField(final String hint) {
    super(hint);
    this.hint = hint;
    this.showingHint = true;
    super.addFocusListener(this);
  }

  @Override
  public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
    if(this.getText().isEmpty()) {
      super.setText("");
      showingHint = false;
    }
  }
  @Override
  public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
    if(this.getText().isEmpty()) {
      super.setText(hint);
      showingHint = true;
    }
  }

  @Override
  public String getText() {
    return showingHint ? "" : super.getText();
  }
}

If you're still on Java 1.5, replace the this.getText().isEmpty() with this.getText().length() == 0.

Android: TextView: Remove spacing and padding on top and bottom

If you use AppCompatTextView ( or from API 28 onward ) you can use the combination of those 2 attributes to remove the spacing on the first line:

XML

android:firstBaselineToTopHeight="0dp"
android:includeFontPadding="false"

Kotlin

text.firstBaselineToTopHeight = 0
text.includeFontPadding = false

How can I find where I will be redirected using cURL?

To make cURL follow a redirect, use:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

Erm... I don't think you're actually executing the curl... Try:

curl_exec($ch);

...after setting the options, and before the curl_getinfo() call.

EDIT: If you just want to find out where a page redirects to, I'd use the advice here, and just use Curl to grab the headers and extract the Location: header from them:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (preg_match('~Location: (.*)~i', $result, $match)) {
   $location = trim($match[1]);
}

Also I set this new account as the default account by clicking the Set Default... button in the bottom of the Preferences > Account page.

Easiest way to copy a single file from host to Vagrant guest?

All the above answers might work. But Below is what worked for me. I had multiple vagrant host: host1, host2. I wanted to copy file from ~/Desktop/file.sh to host: host1 I did:

    $vagrant upload ~/Desktop/file.sh host1

This will copy ~/Desktop/file.sh under /home/xxxx where xxx is your vagrant user under host1

git undo all uncommitted or unsaved changes

Adding this answer because the previous answers permanently delete your changes

The Safe way

git stash -u

Explanation: Stash local changes including untracked changes (-u flag). The command saves your local modifications away and reverts the working directory to match the HEAD commit.

Want to recover the changes later?

git stash pop

Explanation: The command will reapply the changes to the top of the current working tree state.

Want to permanently remove the changes?

git stash drop

Explanation: The command will permanently remove the stashed entry

Link to git stash documentation

Cross-browser custom styling for file upload button

I just came across this problem and have written a solution for those of you who are using Angular. You can write a custom directive composed of a container, a button, and an input element with type file. With CSS you then place the input over the custom button but with opacity 0. You set the containers height and width to exactly the offset width and height of the button and the input's height and width to 100% of the container.

the directive

angular.module('myCoolApp')
  .directive('fileButton', function () {
    return {
      templateUrl: 'components/directives/fileButton/fileButton.html',
      restrict: 'E',
      link: function (scope, element, attributes) {

        var container = angular.element('.file-upload-container');
        var button = angular.element('.file-upload-button');

        container.css({
            position: 'relative',
            overflow: 'hidden',
            width: button.offsetWidth,
            height: button.offsetHeight
        })

      }

    };
  });

a jade template if you are using jade

div(class="file-upload-container") 
    button(class="file-upload-button") +
    input#file-upload(class="file-upload-input", type='file', onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()")  

the same template in html if you are using html

<div class="file-upload-container">
   <button class="file-upload-button"></button>
   <input class="file-upload-input" id="file-upload" type="file" onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()" /> 
</div>

the css

.file-upload-button {
    margin-top: 40px;
    padding: 30px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;
    background: transparent;
    font-size: 66px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    border: 2px solid rgb(255, 228, 0); 
    color: rgb(255, 228, 0);
}

.file-upload-input {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 2;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
}

HTML/CSS - Adding an Icon to a button

You could add a span before the link with a specific class like so:

<div class="btn btn_red"><span class="icon"></span><a href="#">Crimson</a><span></span></div>

And then give that a specific width and a background image just like you are doing with the button itself.

.btn span.icon {
    background: url(imgs/icon.png) no-repeat;
    float: left;
    width: 10px;
    height: 40px;
}

I am no CSS guru but off the top of my head I think that should work.

Linq to Entities - SQL "IN" clause

I will go for Inner Join in this context. If I would have used contains, it would iterate 6 times despite if the fact that there are just one match.

var desiredNames = new[] { "Pankaj", "Garg" }; 

var people = new[]  
{  
    new { FirstName="Pankaj", Surname="Garg" },  
    new { FirstName="Marc", Surname="Gravell" },  
    new { FirstName="Jeff", Surname="Atwood" }  
}; 

var records = (from p in people join filtered in desiredNames on p.FirstName equals filtered  select p.FirstName).ToList(); 

Disadvantages of Contains

Suppose I have two list objects.

List 1      List 2
  1           12
  2            7
  3            8
  4           98
  5            9
  6           10
  7            6

Using Contains, it will search for each List 1 item in List 2 that means iteration will happen 49 times !!!

How to avoid .pyc files?

Starting with Python 3.8 you can use the environment variable PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX to define a cache directory for Python.

From the Python docs:

If this is set, Python will write .pyc files in a mirror directory tree at this path, instead of in pycache directories within the source tree. This is equivalent to specifying the -X pycache_prefix=PATH option.

Example

If you add the following line to your ./profile in Linux:

export PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX="$HOME/.cache/cpython/"

Python won't create the annoying __pycache__ directories in your project directory, instead it will put all of them under ~/.cache/cpython/

Like I said in the comments, you can use a function as module.exports. A function is also an object, so you don't have to change your syntax.

app.js

var controllers = require('./controllers')({app: app});

controllers.js

module.exports = function(params)
{
    return require('controllers/index')(params);
}

controllers/index.js

function controllers(params)
{
  var app = params.app;

  controllers.posts = require('./posts');

  controllers.index = function(req, res) {
    // code
  };
}

module.exports = controllers;

How to request Location Permission at runtime

This code work for me. I also handled case "Never Ask Me"

In AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

In build.gradle (Module: app)

dependencies {
    ....
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0"
}

        String result = "Data post: "+data;

        return Response.status(201).entity(result).build();

If statement within Where clause

You can't use IF like that. You can do what you want with AND and OR:

SELECT t.first_name,
       t.last_name,
       t.employid,
       t.status
  FROM employeetable t
 WHERE ((status_flag = STATUS_ACTIVE   AND t.status = 'A')
     OR (status_flag = STATUS_INACTIVE AND t.status = 'T')
     OR (source_flag = SOURCE_FUNCTION AND t.business_unit = 'production')
     OR (source_flag = SOURCE_USER     AND t.business_unit = 'users'))
   AND t.first_name LIKE firstname
   AND t.last_name  LIKE lastname
   AND t.employid   LIKE employeeid;

How to convert a char array back to a string?

String text = String.copyValueOf(data);

or

String text = String.valueOf(data);

is arguably better (encapsulates the new String call).

How do you clone an Array of Objects in Javascript?

As long as your objects contain JSON-serializable content (no functions, no Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY, etc.) there is no need for any loops to clone arrays or objects. Here is a pure vanilla one-line solution.

var clonedArray = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(nodesArray))

To summarize the comments below, the primary advantage of this approach is that it also clones the contents of the array, not just the array itself. The primary downsides are its limit of only working on JSON-serializable content, and it's performance (which is significantly worse than a slice based approach).

How to find the maximum value in an array?

Have a max int and set it to the first value in the array. Then in a for loop iterate through the whole array and see if the max int is larger than the int at the current index.

int max = array.get(0);

for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
    if (array.get(i) > max) {
      max = array.get(i);
    }
}

multiple prints on the same line in Python

Just in case you have pre-stored the values in an array, you can call them in the following format:

for i in range(0,n):
       print arr[i],

How to see docker image contents

The accepted answer here is problematic, because there is no guarantee that an image will have any sort of interactive shell. For example, the drone/drone image contains on a single command /drone, and it has an ENTRYPOINT as well, so this will fail:

$ docker run -it drone/drone sh
FATA[0000] DRONE_HOST is not properly configured        

And this will fail:

$ docker run --rm -it --entrypoint sh drone/drone
docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "exec: \"sh\": executable file not found in $PATH".

This is not an uncommon configuration; many minimal images contain only the binaries necessary to support the target service. Fortunately, there are mechanisms for exploring an image filesystem that do not depend on the contents of the image. The easiest is probably the docker export command, which will export a container filesystem as a tar archive. So, start a container (it does not matter if it fails or not):

$ docker run -it drone/drone sh
FATA[0000] DRONE_HOST is not properly configured        

Then use docker export to export the filesystem to tar:

$ docker export $(docker ps -lq) | tar tf -

The docker ps -lq there means "give me the id of the most recent docker container". You could replace that with an explicit container name or id.

Nested JSON: How to add (push) new items to an object?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create()

If you are using xampp 7.3.9. socket already installed. You can check xampp\php\ext and you will get the php_socket.dll. if you get it go to your xampp control panel open php.ini file and remove (;) from extension=sockets.

Typescript empty object for a typed variable

If you declare an empty object literal and then assign values later on, then you can consider those values optional (may or may not be there), so just type them as optional with a question mark:

type User = {
    Username?: string;
    Email?: string;
}

When to use setAttribute vs .attribute= in JavaScript?

methods for setting attributes(for example class) on an element: 1. el.className = string 2. el.setAttribute('class',string) 3. el.attributes.setNamedItem(object) 4. el.setAttributeNode(node)

I have made a simple benchmark test (here)

and it seems that setAttributeNode is about 3 times faster then using setAttribute.

so if performance is an issue - use "setAttributeNode"

Optional args in MATLAB functions

A simple way of doing this is via nargin (N arguments in). The downside is you have to make sure that your argument list and the nargin checks match.

It is worth remembering that all inputs are optional, but the functions will exit with an error if it calls a variable which is not set. The following example sets defaults for b and c. Will exit if a is not present.

function [ output_args ] = input_example( a, b, c )
if nargin < 1
  error('input_example :  a is a required input')
end

if nargin < 2
  b = 20
end

if nargin < 3
  c = 30
end
end

Javascript "Cannot read property 'length' of undefined" when checking a variable's length

You can check that theHref is defined by checking against undefined.

if (undefined !== theHref && theHref.length) {
    // `theHref` is not undefined and has truthy property _length_
    // do stuff
} else {
    // do other stuff
}

If you want to also protect yourself against falsey values like null then check theHref is truthy, which is a little shorter

if (theHref && theHref.length) {
    // `theHref` is truthy and has truthy property _length_
}

Program to find prime numbers

EDIT_ADD: If Will Ness is correct that the question's purpose is just to output a continuous stream of primes for as long as the program is run (pressing Pause/Break to pause and any key to start again) with no serious hope of every getting to that upper limit, then the code should be written with no upper limit argument and a range check of "true" for the first 'i' for loop. On the other hand, if the question wanted to actually print the primes up to a limit, then the following code will do the job much more efficiently using Trial Division only for odd numbers, with the advantage that it doesn't use memory at all (it could also be converted to a continuous loop as per the above):

static void primesttt(ulong top_number) {
  Console.WriteLine("Prime:  2");
  for (var i = 3UL; i <= top_number; i += 2) {
    var isPrime = true;
    for (uint j = 3u, lim = (uint)Math.Sqrt((double)i); j <= lim; j += 2) {
      if (i % j == 0)  {
        isPrime = false;
        break;
      }
    }
    if (isPrime) Console.WriteLine("Prime:  {0} ", i);
  }
}

First, the question code produces no output because of that its loop variables are integers and the limit tested is a huge long integer, meaning that it is impossible for the loop to reach the limit producing an inner loop EDITED: whereby the variable 'j' loops back around to negative numbers; when the 'j' variable comes back around to -1, the tested number fails the prime test because all numbers are evenly divisible by -1 END_EDIT. Even if this were corrected, the question code produces very slow output because it gets bound up doing 64-bit divisions of very large quantities of composite numbers (all the even numbers plus the odd composites) by the whole range of numbers up to that top number of ten raised to the sixteenth power for each prime that it can possibly produce. The above code works because it limits the computation to only the odd numbers and only does modulo divisions up to the square root of the current number being tested.

This takes an hour or so to display the primes up to a billion, so one can imagine the amount of time it would take to show all the primes to ten thousand trillion (10 raised to the sixteenth power), especially as the calculation gets slower with increasing range. END_EDIT_ADD

Although the one liner (kind of) answer by @SLaks using Linq works, it isn't really the Sieve of Eratosthenes as it is just an unoptimised version of Trial Division, unoptimised in that it does not eliminate odd primes, doesn't start at the square of the found base prime, and doesn't stop culling for base primes larger than the square root of the top number to sieve. It is also quite slow due to the multiple nested enumeration operations.

It is actually an abuse of the Linq Aggregate method and doesn't effectively use the first of the two Linq Range's generated. It can become an optimized Trial Division with less enumeration overhead as follows:

static IEnumerable<int> primes(uint top_number) {
  var cullbf = Enumerable.Range(2, (int)top_number).ToList();
  for (int i = 0; i < cullbf.Count; i++) {
    var bp = cullbf[i]; var sqr = bp * bp; if (sqr > top_number) break;
    cullbf.RemoveAll(c => c >= sqr && c % bp == 0);
  } return cullbf; }

which runs many times faster than the SLaks answer. However, it is still slow and memory intensive due to the List generation and the multiple enumerations as well as the multiple divide (implied by the modulo) operations.

The following true Sieve of Eratosthenes implementation runs about 30 times faster and takes much less memory as it only uses a one bit representation per number sieved and limits its enumeration to the final iterator sequence output, as well having the optimisations of only treating odd composites, and only culling from the squares of the base primes for base primes up to the square root of the maximum number, as follows:

static IEnumerable<uint> primes(uint top_number) {
  if (top_number < 2u) yield break;
  yield return 2u; if (top_number < 3u) yield break;
  var BFLMT = (top_number - 3u) / 2u;
  var SQRTLMT = ((uint)(Math.Sqrt((double)top_number)) - 3u) / 2u;
  var buf = new BitArray((int)BFLMT + 1,true);
  for (var i = 0u; i <= BFLMT; ++i) if (buf[(int)i]) {
      var p = 3u + i + i; if (i <= SQRTLMT) {
        for (var j = (p * p - 3u) / 2u; j <= BFLMT; j += p)
          buf[(int)j] = false; } yield return p; } }

The above code calculates all the primes to ten million range in about 77 milliseconds on an Intel i7-2700K (3.5 GHz).

Either of the two static methods can be called and tested with the using statements and with the static Main method as follows:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

static void Main(string[] args) {
  Console.WriteLine("This program generates prime sequences.\r\n");

  var n = 10000000u;

  var elpsd = -DateTime.Now.Ticks;

  var count = 0; var lastp = 0u;
  foreach (var p in primes(n)) { if (p > n) break; ++count; lastp = (uint)p; }

  elpsd += DateTime.Now.Ticks;
  Console.WriteLine(
    "{0} primes found <= {1}; the last one is {2} in {3} milliseconds.",
    count, n, lastp,elpsd / 10000);

  Console.Write("\r\nPress any key to exit:");
  Console.ReadKey(true);
  Console.WriteLine();
}

which will show the number of primes in the sequence up to the limit, the last prime found, and the time expended in enumerating that far.

EDIT_ADD: However, in order to produce an enumeration of the number of primes less than ten thousand trillion (ten to the sixteenth power) as the question asks, a segmented paged approach using multi-core processing is required but even with C++ and the very highly optimized PrimeSieve, this would require something over 400 hours to just produce the number of primes found, and tens of times that long to enumerate all of them so over a year to do what the question asks. To do it using the un-optimized Trial Division algorithm attempted, it will take super eons and a very very long time even using an optimized Trial Division algorithm as in something like ten to the two millionth power years (that's two million zeros years!!!).

It isn't much wonder that his desktop machine just sat and stalled when he tried it!!!! If he had tried a smaller range such as one million, he still would have found it takes in the range of seconds as implemented.

The solutions I post here won't cut it either as even the last Sieve of Eratosthenes one will require about 640 Terabytes of memory for that range.

That is why only a page segmented approach such as that of PrimeSieve can handle this sort of problem for the range as specified at all, and even that requires a very long time, as in weeks to years unless one has access to a super computer with hundreds of thousands of cores. END_EDIT_ADD

How to pause a YouTube player when hiding the iframe?

Hey an easy way is to simply set the src of the video to nothing, so that the video will desapear while it's hidden an then set the src back to the video you want when you click on the link that opens the video.. to do that simply set an id to the youtube iframe and call the src function using that id like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteVideo()
{
document.getElementById('VideoPlayer').src='';
}

function LoadVideo()
{
document.getElementById('VideoPlayer').src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/WHAT,EVER,YOUTUBE,VIDEO,YOU,WHANT';
}
</script>

<body>

<p onclick="LoadVideo()">LOAD VIDEO</P>
<p onclick="deleteVideo()">CLOSE</P>

How I can check if an object is null in ruby on rails 2?

You can use the simple not flag to validate that. Example

if !@objectname

This will return true if @objectname is nil. You should not use dot operator or a nil value, else it will throw

*** NoMethodError Exception: undefined method `isNil?' for nil:NilClass

An ideal nil check would be like:

!@objectname || @objectname.nil? || @objectname.empty?

Change <br> height using CSS

}
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
  br {
    margin-bottom: 10px; // As 'border-bottom' doesn't work in firefox and 'margin-bottom' doesn't work in Chrome/Safari.
  }

linux shell script: split string, put them in an array then loop through them

Here is an example code that you may use:

$ for EACH in `echo "$STR" | grep -o -e "[^;]*"`; do
    echo "Found: \"$EACH\"";
done

grep -o -e "[^;]*" will select anything that is not ';', therefore spliting the string by ';'.

Hope that help.

Attach a file from MemoryStream to a MailMessage in C#

If all you're doing is attaching a string, you could do it in just 2 lines:

mail.Attachments.Add(Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString("1,2,3", "text/csv");
mail.Attachments.Last().ContentDisposition.FileName = "filename.csv";

I wasn't able to get mine to work using our mail server with StreamWriter.
I think maybe because with StreamWriter you're missing a lot of file property information and maybe our server didn't like what was missing.
With Attachment.CreateAttachmentFromString() it created everything I needed and works great!

Otherwise, I'd suggest taking your file that is in memory and opening it using MemoryStream(byte[]), and skipping the StreamWriter all together.

Start systemd service after specific service?

After= dependency is only effective when service including After= and service included by After= are both scheduled to start as part of your boot up.

Ex:

a.service
[Unit]
After=b.service

This way, if both a.service and b.service are enabled, then systemd will order b.service after a.service.

If I am not misunderstanding, what you are asking is how to start b.service when a.service starts even though b.service is not enabled.

The directive for this is Wants= or Requires= under [Unit].

website.service
[Unit]
Wants=mongodb.service
After=mongodb.service

The difference between Wants= and Requires= is that with Requires=, a failure to start b.service will cause the startup of a.service to fail, whereas with Wants=, a.service will start even if b.service fails. This is explained in detail on the man page of .unit.

Error message "Linter pylint is not installed"

  1. Open a terminal (ctrl+~)
  2. Run the command pip install pylint

If that doesn't work: On the off chance you've configured a non-default Python path for your editor, you'll need to match that Python's install location with the pip executable you're calling from the terminal.

This is an issue because the Python extension's settings enable Pylint by default. If you'd rather turn off linting, you can instead change this setting from true to false in your user or workspace settings:

WHERE DATEDIFF(day, date1, date2) >= 0

Note that if you want to test that date1 <= date2 then you need to test that DATEDIFF(day, date1, date2) >= 0, or alternatively you could test DATEDIFF(day, date2, date1) <= 0.

HTML Mobile -forcing the soft keyboard to hide

For further readers/searchers:

As Rene Pot points out on this topic,

By adding the attribute readonly (or readonly="readonly") to the input field you should prevent anyone typing anything in it, but still be able to launch a click event on it.

With this method, you can avoid popping up the "soft" Keyboard and still launch click events / fill the input by any on-screen keyboard.

This solution also works fine with date-time-pickers which generally already implement controls.

TypeScript typed array usage

You have an error in your syntax here:

this._possessions = new Thing[100]();

This doesn't create an "array of things". To create an array of things, you can simply use the array literal expression:

this._possessions = [];

Of the array constructor if you want to set the length:

this._possessions = new Array(100);

I have created a brief working example you can try in the playground.

module Entities {  

    class Thing {

    }        

    export class Person {
        private _name: string;
        private _possessions: Thing[];
        private _mostPrecious: Thing;

        constructor (name: string) {
            this._name = name;
            this._possessions = [];
            this._possessions.push(new Thing())
            this._possessions[100] = new Thing();
        }
    }
}

Getting list of lists into pandas DataFrame

Even without pop the list we can do with set_index

pd.DataFrame(table).T.set_index(0).T
Out[11]: 
0 Heading1 Heading2
1        1        2
2        3        4

Update from_records

table = [['Heading1', 'Heading2'], [1 , 2], [3, 4]]

pd.DataFrame.from_records(table[1:],columns=table[0])
Out[58]: 
   Heading1  Heading2
0         1         2
1         3         4

HTML5 Local storage vs. Session storage

Ya session storage and local storage are same in behaviour except one that is local storage will store the data until and unless the user delete the cache and cookies and session storage data will retain in the system until we close the session i,e until we close the session storage created window.

ERROR! MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found! QNAP

I ended up figuring this out on my own.

In searching for my logs I went into

cd /usr/local/mysql/var

In there I found the file named [MyNAS].pid (replace [MyNAS] with the name of your NAS.

I then ran the following to remove the file

rm -rf /usr/local/mysql/var/[MyNAS].pid

I then restarted mysql

[/usr/local/mysql/var] # /etc/init.d/mysqld.sh restart        
/mnt/ext/opt/mysql
/mnt/ext/opt/mysql
Try to shutting down MySQL
ERROR! MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found!
/mnt/ext/opt/mysql
Starting MySQL. SUCCESS! 

I tested everything and it all works like a charm again!

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

There's no need for all the code mentioned by galambalazs. The cross-browser way to do it in pure JavaScript is simply to test document.readyState:

if (document.readyState === "complete") { init(); }

This is also how jQuery does it.

Depending on where the JavaScript is loaded, this can be done inside an interval:

var readyStateCheckInterval = setInterval(function() {
    if (document.readyState === "complete") {
        clearInterval(readyStateCheckInterval);
        init();
    }
}, 10);

In fact, document.readyState can have three states:

Returns "loading" while the document is loading, "interactive" once it is finished parsing but still loading sub-resources, and "complete" once it has loaded. -- document.readyState at Mozilla Developer Network

So if you only need the DOM to be ready, check for document.readyState === "interactive". If you need the whole page to be ready, including images, check for document.readyState === "complete".

Simple JavaScript login form validation

Here is some useful links with example Login form Validation in javascript

function validate() {
        var username = document.getElementById("username").value;
        var password = document.getElementById("password").value;
        if (username == null || username == "") {
            alert("Please enter the username.");
            return false;
        }
        if (password == null || password == "") {
            alert("Please enter the password.");
            return false;
        }
        alert('Login successful');

    } 

  <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />
  <input type="password" name="password" id="password" />
  <input type="button" value="Login" id="submit" onclick="validate();" />

Google Chromecast sender error if Chromecast extension is not installed or using incognito

i know it is not the best solution, but the only one supposed solution that i have read for all the web is to install chrome cast extension, so, i've decide, not to put the iframe into the website, i just insert the thumnail of my video from youtube like in this post explain.

and here we have two options:
1) Target the video to the channel and play it there
2) Call the video via ajax, like explain here (i've decided for this one) in a colorbox or any another plugin.

and like this, i prevent the google cast sender error make my site slow

PL/SQL, how to escape single quote in a string?

You can use literal quoting:

stmt := q'[insert into MY_TBL (Col) values('ER0002')]';

Documentation for literals can be found here.

Alternatively, you can use two quotes to denote a single quote:

stmt := 'insert into MY_TBL (Col) values(''ER0002'')';

The literal quoting mechanism with the Q syntax is more flexible and readable, IMO.

jquery append div inside div with id and manipulate

Why not go even simpler with either one of these options:

$("#box").html('<div id="myid" style="display:block; float:left;width:'+width+'px; height:'+height+'px; margin-top:'+positionY+'px;margin-left:'+positionX+'px;border:1px dashed #CCCCCC;"></div>');

Or, if you want to append it to existing content:

$("#box").append('<div id="myid" style="display:block; float:left;width:'+width+'px; height:'+height+'px; margin-top:'+positionY+'px;margin-left:'+positionX+'px;border:1px dashed #CCCCCC;"></div>');

Note: I put the id="myid" right into the HTML string rather than using separate code to set it.

Both the .html() and .append() jQuery methods can take a string of HTML so there's no need to use a separate step for creating the objects.

Can You Get A Users Local LAN IP Address Via JavaScript?

As it turns out, the recent WebRTC extension of HTML5 allows javascript to query the local client IP address. A proof of concept is available here: http://net.ipcalf.com

This feature is apparently by design, and is not a bug. However, given its controversial nature, I would be cautious about relying on this behaviour. Nevertheless, I think it perfectly and appropriately addresses your intended purpose (revealing to the user what their browser is leaking).

Detect change to ngModel on a select tag (Angular 2)

I have stumbled across this question and I will submit my answer that I used and worked pretty well. I had a search box that filtered and array of objects and on my search box I used the (ngModelChange)="onChange($event)"

in my .html

<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="searchText" (ngModelChange)="reSearch(newValue)" placeholder="Search">

then in my component.ts

reSearch(newValue: string) {
    //this.searchText would equal the new value
    //handle my filtering with the new value
}

How to get SQL from Hibernate Criteria API (*not* for logging)

Here's "another" way to get the SQL :

CriteriaImpl criteriaImpl = (CriteriaImpl)criteria;
SessionImplementor session = criteriaImpl.getSession();
SessionFactoryImplementor factory = session.getFactory();
CriteriaQueryTranslator translator=new CriteriaQueryTranslator(factory,criteriaImpl,criteriaImpl.getEntityOrClassName(),CriteriaQueryTranslator.ROOT_SQL_ALIAS);
String[] implementors = factory.getImplementors( criteriaImpl.getEntityOrClassName() );

CriteriaJoinWalker walker = new CriteriaJoinWalker((OuterJoinLoadable)factory.getEntityPersister(implementors[0]), 
                        translator,
                        factory, 
                        criteriaImpl, 
                        criteriaImpl.getEntityOrClassName(), 
                        session.getLoadQueryInfluencers()   );

String sql=walker.getSQLString();

How to configure the web.config to allow requests of any length

In my case ( Visual Studio 2012 / IIS Express / ASP.NET MVC 4 app / .Net Framework 4.5 ) what really worked after 30 minutes of trial and error was setting the maxQueryStringLength property in the <httpRuntime> tag:

<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxQueryStringLength="10240" enable="true" />

maxQueryStringLength defaults to 2048.

More about it here:

Expanding the Range of Allowable URLs


I tried setting it in <system.webServer> as @MattVarblow suggests, but it didn't work... and this is because I'm using IIS Express (based on IIS 8) on my dev machine with Windows 8.

When I deployed my app to the production environment (Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7), IE 10 started returning 404 errors in AJAX requests with long query strings. Then I thought that the problem was related to the query string and tried @MattVarblow's answer. It just worked on IIS 7. :)

Show hide div using codebehind

RegisteredClientScriptBlock adds the script at the top of the page on the post-back with no assurance about the order, meaning that either the call is being injected after the function declaration (your js file with the function is inlined after your call) or when the script tries to execute the div is probably not there yet 'cause the page is still rendering. A good idea is probably to simulate the two scenarios I described above on firebug and see if you get similar errors.

My guess is this would work if you append the script at the bottom of the page with RegisterStartupScript - worth a shot at least.

Anyway, as an alternative solution if you add the runat="server" attribute to the div you will be able to access it by its id in the codebehind (without reverting to js - how cool that might be), and make it disappear like this:

data.visible = false

How do I restart my C# WinForm Application?

The problem of using Application.Restart() is, that it starts a new process but the "old" one is still remaining. Therefor I decided to Kill the old process by using the following code snippet:

            if(Condition){
            Application.Restart();
            Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();
            }

And it works proper good. In my case MATLAB and a C# Application are sharing the same SQLite database. If MATLAB is using the database, the Form-App should restart (+Countdown) again, until MATLAB reset its busy bit in the database. (Just for side information)

Where is git.exe located?

First ,you should install github in your PC; Second,you can download the tool 'Everything'; Third,open the tool everything ,type git.exe,then you will find the location and copy the location to PyCharm ,and Test,you will see successfully!

Check if property has attribute

If you are using .NET 3.5 you might try with Expression trees. It is safer than reflection:

class CustomAttribute : Attribute { }

class Program
{
    [Custom]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    static void Main()
    {
        Expression<Func<Program, int>> expression = p => p.Id;
        var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
        bool hasCustomAttribute = memberExpression
            .Member
            .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(CustomAttribute), false).Length > 0;
    }
}

Iterating through all the cells in Excel VBA or VSTO 2005

You basically can loop over a Range

Get a sheet

myWs = (Worksheet)MyWb.Worksheets[1];

Get the Range you're interested in If you really want to check every cell use Excel's limits

The Excel 2007 "Big Grid" increases the maximum number of rows per worksheet from 65,536 to over 1 million, and the number of columns from 256 (IV) to 16,384 (XFD). from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730921.aspx#Office2007excelPerf_BigGridIncreasedLimitsExcel

and then loop over the range

        Range myBigRange = myWs.get_Range("A1", "A256");

        string myValue;

        foreach(Range myCell in myBigRange )
        {
            myValue = myCell.Value2.ToString();
        }

How can I stop redis-server?

A cleaner, more reliable way is to go into redis-cli and then type shutdown

In redis-cli, type help @server and you will see this near the bottom of the list:

SHUTDOWN - summary: Synchronously save the dataset to disk and then shut down the server since: 0.07

And if you have a redis-server instance running in a terminal, you'll see this:

User requested shutdown...
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 * Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting.
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 * DB saved on disk
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 # Redis is now ready to exit, bye bye...

How to specify font attributes for all elements on an html web page?

Objective-C ARC: strong vs retain and weak vs assign

The differences between strong and retain:

  • In iOS4, strong is equal to retain
  • It means that you own the object and keep it in the heap until don’t point to it anymore
  • If you write retain it will automatically work just like strong

The differences between weak and assign:

  • A “weak” reference is a reference that you don’t retain and you keep it as long as someone else points to it strongly
  • When the object is “deallocated”, the weak pointer is automatically set to nil
  • A "assign" property attribute tells the compiler how to synthesize the property’s setter implementation

How to call gesture tap on UIView programmatically in swift

I worked out on Xcode 6.4 on swift. See below.

var view1: UIView!

func assignTapToView1() {          
  let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap"))
  //  tap.delegate = self
  view1.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
  self.view .addSubview(view1)

...
}

func handleTap() {
 print("tap working")
 view1.removeFromSuperview()
 // view1.alpha = 0.1
}

How do I discard unstaged changes in Git?

In my opinion,

git clean -df

should do the trick. As per Git documentation on git clean

git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree

Description

Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not under version control, starting from the current directory.

Normally, only files unknown to Git are removed, but if the -x option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for example, be useful to remove all build products.

If any optional ... arguments are given, only those paths are affected.

Options

-d Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. If an untracked directory is managed by a different Git repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice if you really want to remove such a directory.

-f --force If the Git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set to false, git clean will refuse to run unless given -f, -n or -i.

How do I prevent Eclipse from hanging on startup?

I had a very similar problem with eclipse (Juno) on Fedora 18. In the middle of debugging an Android session, eclipse ended the debug session. I attempted to restart eclipse but it kept haning at the splash screen. I tried the various suggestions above with no success. Finally, I checked the adb service (android debug bridge):

# adb devices
List of devices attached 
XXXXXX offline

I know the android device was still connected but it reported it offline. I disconnected the device and shut down the adb service:

# adb kill-server

Then I waited a few seconds and re-started the adb service:

# adb start-server

And plugged my android back in. After that, eclipse started up just fine.

Best Practices for Custom Helpers in Laravel 5

Since OP asked for best practices, I think we're still missing some good advices here.

A single helpers.php file is far from a good practice. Firstly because you mix a lot of different kind of functions, so you're against the good coding principles. Moreover, this could hurt not only the code documentation but also the code metrics like Cyclomatic Complexity, Maintainability Index and Halstead Volume. The more functions you have the more it gets worse.

Code documentation would be Ok using tools like phpDocumentor, but using Sami it won't render procedural files. Laravel API documentation is such a case - there's no helper functions documentation: https://laravel.com/api/5.4

Code metrics can be analyzed with tools like PhpMetrics. Using PhpMetrics version 1.x to analyze Laravel 5.4 framework code will give you very bad CC/MI/HV metrics for both src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php and src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php files.

Multiple contextual helper files (eg. string_helpers.php, array_helpers.php, etc.) would certainly improve those bad metrics resulting in an easier code to mantain. Depending on the code documentation generator used this would be good enough.

It can be further improved by using helper classes with static methods so they can be contextualized using namespaces. Just like how Laravel already does with Illuminate\Support\Str and Illuminate\Support\Arr classes. This improves both code metrics/organization and documentation. Class aliases could be used to make them easier to use.

Structuring with classes makes the code organization and documentation better but on the other hand we end up loosing those great short and easy to remember global functions. We can further improve that approach by creating function aliases to those static classes methods. This can be done either manually or dynamically.

Laravel internally use the first approach by declaring functions in the procedural helper files that maps to the static classes methods. This might be not the ideal thing as you need to redeclare all the stuff (docblocks/arguments).
I personally use a dynamic approach with a HelperServiceProvider class that create those functions in the execution time:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class HelperServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The helper mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $helpers = [
        'uppercase' => 'App\Support\Helpers\StringHelper::uppercase',
        'lowercase' => 'App\Support\Helpers\StringHelper::lowercase',
    ];

    /**
     * Bootstrap the application helpers.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        foreach ($this->helpers as $alias => $method) {
            if (!function_exists($alias)) {
                eval("function {$alias}(...\$args) { return {$method}(...\$args); }");
            }
        }
    }

    /**
     * Register the service provider.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}

One can say this is over engineering but I don't think so. It works pretty well and contrary to what might be expected it does not cost relevant execution time at least when using PHP 7.x.

PDOException SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

I got the same problem in ubuntu 18.04 with nginx. By following the below steps my issue has been fixd:

First open terminal and enter into mysql CLI. To check mysql socket location I write the following command.

mysql> show variables like '%sock%'

I got something like the below :

+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------+
| Variable_name                           | Value                       |
+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------+
| mysqlx_socket                           | /var/run/mysqld/mysqlx.sock |
| performance_schema_max_socket_classes   | 10                          |
| performance_schema_max_socket_instances | -1                          |
| socket                                  | /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock |
+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

In laravel project folder, look for the database.php file in the config folder. In the mysql section I modified unix_socket according to the above table.

'mysql' => array(
        'driver'    => 'mysql',
        'host'      => '127.0.0.1',
        'database'  => 'database_name',
        'username'  => 'username',
        'password'  => 'password',
        'charset'   => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'    => '',
        'unix_socket' => '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock',
    ),

Now just save changes, and reload the page and it worked.

Using git commit -a with vim

See this thread for an explanation: VIM for Windows - What do I type to save and exit from a file?

As I wrote there: to learn Vimming, you could use one of the quick reference cards:

Also note How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows? if you're not comfortable in using Vim but want to use another editor for your commit messages.

If your commit message is not too long, you could also type

Fiddler not capturing traffic from browsers

EDIT: I thought my issue was solved through the WinINET Options. Below are the steps that fixed my Chrome traffic finally being picked up in Fiddler:

From Fiddler -> Tools -> WinINET Options -> LAN settings -> Make sure Automatically detect settings is checked.

However, what I just found out later was that the PAC script was resetting these options everytime I fired up Fiddler. The real solution was goto Fiddler -> Tools -> Options -> Connections -> Uncheck Use PAC Script. This solved it for good. Below is a screenshot for reference:

Android set bitmap to Imageview

this code works with me

 ImageView carView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.car_icon);

                            byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(picture, Base64.NO_WRAP);
                            InputStream input=new ByteArrayInputStream(decodedString);
                            Bitmap ext_pic = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
                            carView.setImageBitmap(ext_pic);

javascript: detect scroll end

I could not get either of the above answers to work so here is a third option that works for me! (This is used with jQuery)

if (($(window).innerHeight() + $(window).scrollTop()) >= $("body").height()) {
    //do stuff
}

Hope this helps anyone!

Lodash .clone and .cloneDeep behaviors

Thanks to Gruff Bunny and Louis' comments, I found the source of the issue.

As I use Backbone.js too, I loaded a special build of Lodash compatible with Backbone and Underscore that disables some features. In this example:

var clone = _.clone(data, true);

data[1].values.d = 'x';

I just replaced the Underscore build with the Normal build in my Backbone application and the application is still working. So I can now use the Lodash .clone with the expected behaviour.

Edit 2018: the Underscore build doesn't seem to exist anymore. If you are reading this in 2018, you could be interested by this documentation (Backbone and Lodash).

What does it mean when Statement.executeUpdate() returns -1?

As the statement executed is not actually DML (eg UPDATE, INSERT or EXECUTE), but a piece of T-SQL which contains DML, I suspect it is not treated as an update-query.

Section 13.1.2.3 of the JDBC 4.1 specification states something (rather hard to interpret btw):

When the method execute returns true, the method getResultSet is called to retrieve the ResultSet object. When execute returns false, the method getUpdateCount returns an int. If this number is greater than or equal to zero, it indicates the update count returned by the statement. If it is -1, it indicates that there are no more results.

Given this information, I guess that executeUpdate() internally does an execute(), and then - as execute() will return false - it will return the value of getUpdateCount(), which in this case - in accordance with the JDBC spec - will return -1.

This is further corroborated by the fact 1) that the Javadoc for Statement.executeUpdate() says:

Returns: either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing

And 2) that the Javadoc for Statement.getUpdateCount() specifies:

the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results

Just to clarify: given the Javadoc for executeUpdate() the behavior is probably wrong, but it can be explained.

Also as I commented elsewhere, the -1 might just indicate: maybe something was changed, but we simply don't know, or we can't give an accurate number of changes (eg because in this example it is a piece of T-SQL that is executed).

How can I start InternetExplorerDriver using Selenium WebDriver

In the same way for Chrome Browser below are the things to be considered.

Step 1-->Import files Required for Chrome :
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.*;

Step 2--> Set the Path and initialize the Chrome Driver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","S:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

Note: In Step 2 the location should point the chromedriver.exe file's storage location in your system drive

step 3--> Create an instance of Chrome browser

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Rest will be the same as...

What characters do I need to escape in XML documents?

New, simplified answer to an old, commonly asked question...

Simplified XML Escaping (prioritized, 100% complete)

  1. Always (90% important to remember)

    • Escape < as &lt; unless < is starting a <tag/>.
    • Escape & as &amp; unless & is starting an &entity;.
  2. Attribute Values (9% important to remember)

    • attr=" 'Single quotes' are ok within double quotes."
    • attr=' "Double quotes" are ok within single quotes.'
    • Escape " as &quot; and ' as &apos; otherwise.
  3. Comments, CDATA, and Processing Instructions (0.9% important to remember)

    • <!-- Within comments --> nothing has to be escaped but no -- strings are allowed.
    • <![CDATA[ Within CDATA ]]> nothing has to be escaped, but no ]]> strings are allowed.
    • <?PITarget Within PIs ?> nothing has to be escaped, but no ?> strings are allowed.
  4. Esoterica (0.1% important to remember)

    • Escape ]]> as ]]&gt; unless ]]> is ending a CDATA section.
      (This rule applies to character data in general – even outside a CDATA section.)

Setting UILabel text to bold

Use attributed string:

// Define attributes
let labelFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 18)
let attributes :Dictionary = [NSFontAttributeName : labelFont]

// Create attributed string
var attrString = NSAttributedString(string: "Foo", attributes:attributes)
label.attributedText = attrString

You need to define attributes.

Using attributed string you can mix colors, sizes, fonts etc within one text

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc'

I had the same problem with a bunch of assembly files after moving the project to another solution.

For me, the web.config file was trying to add this assembly:

<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

Thought the reference in the project was pointing towards version 3.0.0.0 (click on the reference and scroll to the bottom of the properties). Hence I just changed the reference version in the web.config file.

I don´t know if this was just a bug of some sort. The problem with adding all the other references was that the references appeared in the config file but it wasn't actually referenced at all in the project (inside the solution explorer) and the needed files were not copied with the rest of the project files, probably due to not being "copy local = true"

Now, I wasn´t able to find these assemblies in the addable assemblies (by right clicking the reference and trying to add them from the assemblies or extensions). Instead I created a new MVC solution which added all the assemblies and references I needed, and finding them under the new projects references in the solution explorer and finding their path in the properties window for the reference.

Then I just copied the libraries I needed into the other project and referenced them.

JavaScript function in href vs. onclick

In terms of javascript, one difference is that the this keyword in the onclick handler will refer to the DOM element whose onclick attribute it is (in this case the <a> element), whereas this in the href attribute will refer to the window object.

In terms of presentation, if an href attribute is absent from a link (i.e. <a onclick="[...]">) then, by default, browsers will display the text cursor (and not the often-desired pointer cursor) since it is treating the <a> as an anchor, and not a link.

In terms of behavior, when specifying an action by navigation via href, the browser will typically support opening that href in a separate window using either a shortcut or context menu. This is not possible when specifying an action only via onclick.


However, if you're asking what is the best way to get dynamic action from the click of a DOM object, then attaching an event using javascript separate from the content of the document is the best way to go. You could do this in a number of ways. A common way is to use a javascript library like jQuery to bind an event:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a id="link" href="http://example.com/action">link text</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('a#link').click(function(){ /* ... action ... */ })
</script>

FileProvider - IllegalArgumentException: Failed to find configured root

Android official document says file_paths.xml should have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">   
    <external-path name="my_images"    
        path="Android/data/com.example.package.name/files/Pictures" />
</paths>

But to make it work in the latest android there should be a "/" at the end of the path, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">   
    <external-path name="my_images"    
        path="Android/data/com.example.package.name/files/Pictures/" />
</paths>

List to array conversion to use ravel() function

I wanted a way to do this without using an extra module. First turn list to string, then append to an array:

dataset_list = ''.join(input_list)
dataset_array = []
for item in dataset_list.split(';'): # comma, or other
    dataset_array.append(item)

How to set up a PostgreSQL database in Django

This may seem a bit lengthy, but it worked for me without any error.

At first, Install phppgadmin from Ubuntu Software Center.

Then run these steps in terminal.

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev
pip install psycopg2
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib phppgadmin

Start the apache server

sudo service apache2 start

Now run this too in terminal, to edit the apache file.

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the following line to the opened file:

Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin

Now reload apache. Use terminal.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Now you will have to create a new database. Login as 'postgres' user. Continue in terminal.

sudo su - postgres

In case you have trouble with the password of 'postgres', you can change it using the answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/12721020/1990793 and continue with the steps.

Now create a database

createdb <db_name>

Now create a new user to login to phppgadmin later, providing a new password.

createuser -P <new_user>

Now your postgressql has been setup, and you can go to:

http://localhost/phppgadmin/

and login using the new user you've created, in order to view the database.

HTML meta tag for content language

<meta name="language" content="Spanish">

This isn't defined in any specification (including the HTML5 draft)

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="es">

This is a poor man's version of a real HTTP header and should really be expressed in the headers. For example:

Content-language: es
Content-type: text/html;charset=UTF-8

It says that the document is intended for Spanish language speakers (it doesn't, however mean the document is written in Spanish; it could, for example, be written in English as part of a language course for Spanish speakers).

From the spec:

The Content-Language entity-header field describes the natural language(s) of the intended audience for the enclosed entity. Note that this might not be equivalent to all the languages used within the entity-body.

If you want to state that a document is written in Spanish then use:

<html lang="es">

How do I draw a grid onto a plot in Python?

To show a grid line on every tick, add

plt.grid(True)

For example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

points = [
    (0, 10),
    (10, 20),
    (20, 40),
    (60, 100),
]

x = list(map(lambda x: x[0], points))
y = list(map(lambda x: x[1], points))

plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.grid(True)

plt.show()

enter image description here


In addition, you might want to customize the styling (e.g. solid line instead of dashed line), add:

plt.rc('grid', linestyle="-", color='black')

For example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

points = [
    (0, 10),
    (10, 20),
    (20, 40),
    (60, 100),
]

x = list(map(lambda x: x[0], points))
y = list(map(lambda x: x[1], points))

plt.rc('grid', linestyle="-", color='black')
plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.grid(True)

plt.show()

enter image description here

Parse RSS with jQuery

The jQuery-rss project is pretty lightweight and doesn't impose any particular styling.

The syntax can be as simple as

$("#rss-feeds").rss("http://www.recruiter.com/feed/career.xml")

How to get the integer value of day of week

The correct answer, is indeed the correct answer to get the int value.

But, if you're just checking to make sure it's Sunday for example... Consider using the following code, instead of casting to an int. This provides much more readability.

if (yourDateTimeObject.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
{
    // You can easily see you're checking for sunday, and not just "0"
}

Is Java installed on your computer? Is the path to its bin directory set properly (in other words if you type 'java' from the command line do you get back a list of instructions or do you get something like "java is not recognized as a .....")?

You could try try running squirrel-sql.jar from the command line (from the squirrel sql directory), using:

java -jar squirrel-sql.jar

Why is it bad style to `rescue Exception => e` in Ruby?

The real rule is: Don't throw away exceptions. The objectivity of the author of your quote is questionable, as evidenced by the fact that it ends with

or I will stab you

Of course, be aware that signals (by default) throw exceptions, and normally long-running processes are terminated through a signal, so catching Exception and not terminating on signal exceptions will make your program very hard to stop. So don't do this:

#! /usr/bin/ruby

while true do
  begin
    line = STDIN.gets
    # heavy processing
  rescue Exception => e
    puts "caught exception #{e}! ohnoes!"
  end
end

No, really, don't do it. Don't even run that to see if it works.

However, say you have a threaded server and you want all exceptions to not:

  1. be ignored (the default)
  2. stop the server (which happens if you say thread.abort_on_exception = true).

Then this is perfectly acceptable in your connection handling thread:

begin
  # do stuff
rescue Exception => e
  myLogger.error("uncaught #{e} exception while handling connection: #{e.message}")
    myLogger.error("Stack trace: #{backtrace.map {|l| "  #{l}\n"}.join}")
end

The above works out to a variation of Ruby's default exception handler, with the advantage that it doesn't also kill your program. Rails does this in its request handler.

Signal exceptions are raised in the main thread. Background threads won't get them, so there is no point in trying to catch them there.

This is particularly useful in a production environment, where you do not want your program to simply stop whenever something goes wrong. Then you can take the stack dumps in your logs and add to your code to deal with specific exception further down the call chain and in a more graceful manner.

Note also that there is another Ruby idiom which has much the same effect:

a = do_something rescue "something else"

In this line, if do_something raises an exception, it is caught by Ruby, thrown away, and a is assigned "something else".

Generally, don't do that, except in special cases where you know you don't need to worry. One example:

debugger rescue nil

The debugger function is a rather nice way to set a breakpoint in your code, but if running outside a debugger, and Rails, it raises an exception. Now theoretically you shouldn't be leaving debug code lying around in your program (pff! nobody does that!) but you might want to keep it there for a while for some reason, but not continually run your debugger.

Note:

  1. If you've run someone else's program that catches signal exceptions and ignores them, (say the code above) then:

    • in Linux, in a shell, type pgrep ruby, or ps | grep ruby, look for your offending program's PID, and then run kill -9 <PID>.
    • in Windows, use the Task Manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC), go to the "processes" tab, find your process, right click it and select "End process".
  2. If you are working with someone else's program which is, for whatever reason, peppered with these ignore-exception blocks, then putting this at the top of the mainline is one possible cop-out:

    %W/INT QUIT TERM/.each { |sig| trap sig,"SYSTEM_DEFAULT" }
    

    This causes the program to respond to the normal termination signals by immediately terminating, bypassing exception handlers, with no cleanup. So it could cause data loss or similar. Be careful!

  3. If you need to do this:

    begin
      do_something
    rescue Exception => e
      critical_cleanup
      raise
    end
    

    you can actually do this:

    begin
      do_something
    ensure
      critical_cleanup
    end
    

    In the second case, critical cleanup will be called every time, whether or not an exception is thrown.

How do I push a local repo to Bitbucket using SourceTree without creating a repo on bitbucket first?

(Linux/WSL at least) From the browser at bitbucket.org, create an empty repo with the same name as your local repo, follow the instructions proposed by bitbucket for importing a local repo (two commands to type).

How to push to History in React Router v4?

React router V4 now allows the history prop to be used as below:

Excel: Search for a list of strings within a particular string using array formulas?

  1. Arange your word list with delimiter which never occures in the words, f.e. |
  2. swap arguments in find call - we want search if cell value is matching one of the words in pattern string {=FIND("cell I want to search","list of words I want to search for")}
  3. if the patterns are similar, there is a risk of getting more results than wanted, we restrict just correct results via adding &"|" to the cell value tested (works well with array formulas) cell G3 could contain: {=SUM(FIND($A$1:$A$100&"|";A3))} this ensures spreadsheet will compare strings like "cellvlaue|" againts "pattern1|", "pattern2|" etc. which sorts out conflicts like pattern1="newly added", pattern2="added" (sum of all cells matching "added" would be too high, including the target values for cells matching "newly added", which would be a logical error)

Javascript communication between browser tabs/windows

There is also an experimental technology called Broadcast Channel API that is designed specifically for communication between different browser contexts with same origin. You can post messages to and recieve messages from another browser context without having a reference to it:

var channel = new BroadcastChannel("foo");
channel.onmessage = function( e ) {
  // Process messages from other contexts.
};
// Send message to other listening contexts.
channel.postMessage({ value: 42, type: "bar"});

Obviously this is experiental technology and is not supported accross all browsers yet.

CodeIgniter Active Record not equal

According to the manual this should work:

Custom key/value method:

You can include an operator in the first parameter in order to control the comparison:

$this->db->where('name !=', $name);
$this->db->where('id <', $id);
Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' AND id < 45

Search for $this->db->where(); and look at item #2.

rejected master -> master (non-fast-forward)

You need to do

git branch

if the output is something like:

* (no branch)
master

then do

git checkout master

Make sure you do not have any pending commits as checking out will lose all non-committed changes.

Are there constants in JavaScript?

Rhino.js implements const in addition to what was mentioned above.

Quoting from the dig manpage:

Reverse lookups -- mapping addresses to names -- are simplified by the -x option. addr is an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 address. When this option is used, there is no need to provide the name, class and type arguments. dig automatically performs a lookup for a name like 11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa and sets the query type and class to PTR and IN respectively.

What is [Serializable] and when should I use it?

Here is short example of how serialization works. I was also learning about the same and I found two links useful. What Serialization is and how it can be done in .NET.

If you don't understand the above program a much simple program with explanation is given here.

Get counts of all tables in a schema

If you want simple SQL for Oracle (e.g. have XE with no XmlGen) go for a simple 2-step:

select ('(SELECT ''' || table_name || ''' as Tablename,COUNT(*) FROM "' || table_name || '") UNION') from USER_TABLES;

Copy the entire result and replace the last UNION with a semi-colon (';'). Then as the 2nd step execute the resulting SQL.

Android Shared preferences for creating one time activity (example)

Shared Preferences is so easy to learn, so take a look on this simple tutorial about sharedpreference

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;

    public class UserSettingActivity extends PreferenceActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);

    }
}

Wait for async task to finish

This will never work, because the JS VM has moved on from that async_call and returned the value, which you haven't set yet.

Don't try to fight what is natural and built-in the language behaviour. You should use a callback technique or a promise.

function f(input, callback) {
    var value;

    // Assume the async call always succeed
    async_call(input, function(result) { callback(result) };

}

The other option is to use a promise, have a look at Q. This way you return a promise, and then you attach a then listener to it, which is basically the same as a callback. When the promise resolves, the then will trigger.

HTML Upload MAX_FILE_SIZE does not appear to work

There IS A POINT in introducing MAX_FILE_SIZE client side hidden form field.

php.ini can limit uploaded file size. So, while your script honors the limit imposed by php.ini, different HTML forms can further limit an uploaded file size. So, when uploading video, form may limit* maximum size to 10MB, and while uploading photos, forms may put a limit of just 1mb. And at the same time, the maximum limit can be set in php.ini to suppose 10mb to allow all this.

Although this is not a fool proof way of telling the server what to do, yet it can be helpful.

  • HTML does'nt limit anything. It just forwards the server all form variable including MAX_FILE_SIZE and its value.

Hope it helped someone.

How to change the Content of a <textarea> with JavaScript

If you can use jQuery, and I highly recommend you do, you would simply do

$('#myTextArea').val('');

Otherwise, it is browser dependent. Assuming you have

var myTextArea = document.getElementById('myTextArea');

In most browsers you do

myTextArea.innerHTML = '';

But in Firefox, you do

myTextArea.innerText = '';

Figuring out what browser the user is using is left as an exercise for the reader. Unless you use jQuery, of course ;)

Edit: I take that back. Looks like support for .innerHTML on textarea's has improved. I tested in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, all of them cleared the textarea correctly.

Edit 2: And I just checked, if you use .val('') in jQuery, it just sets the .value property for textarea's. So .value should be fine.

How to properly upgrade node using nvm

This may work:

nvm install NEW_VERSION --reinstall-packages-from=OLD_VERSION

For example:

nvm install 6.7 --reinstall-packages-from=6.4

then, if you want, you can delete your previous version with:

nvm uninstall OLD_VERSION

Where, in your case, NEW_VERSION = 5.4 OLD_VERSION = 5.0

Alternatively, try:

nvm install stable --reinstall-packages-from=current

Difference between using "chmod a+x" and "chmod 755"

Indeed there is.

chmod a+x is relative to the current state and just sets the x flag. So a 640 file becomes 751 (or 750?), a 644 file becomes 755.

chmod 755, however, sets the mask as written: rwxr-xr-x, no matter how it was before. It is equivalent to chmod u=rwx,go=rx.

Chrome doesn't delete session cookies

How to get screen width without (minus) scrollbar?

Here are some examples which assume $element is a jQuery element:

// Element width including overflow (scrollbar)
$element[0].offsetWidth; // 1280 in your case

// Element width excluding overflow (scrollbar)
$element[0].clientWidth; // 1280 - scrollbarWidth

// Scrollbar width
$element[0].offsetWidth - $element[0].clientWidth; // 0 if no scrollbar

Fit image into ImageView, keep aspect ratio and then resize ImageView to image dimensions?

Use Simple math to resize the image . either you can resize ImageView or you can resize drawable image than set on ImageView . find the width and height of your bitmap which you want to set on ImageView and call the desired method. suppose your width 500 is greater than height than call method

//250 is the width you want after resize bitmap
Bitmat bmp = BitmapScaler.scaleToFitWidth(bitmap, 250) ;
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.picture);
image.setImageBitmap(bmp);

You use this class for resize bitmap.

public class BitmapScaler{
// Scale and maintain aspect ratio given a desired width
// BitmapScaler.scaleToFitWidth(bitmap, 100);
 public static Bitmap scaleToFitWidth(Bitmap b, int width)
  {
    float factor = width / (float) b.getWidth();
    return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, width, (int) (b.getHeight() * factor), true);
  }


  // Scale and maintain aspect ratio given a desired height
  // BitmapScaler.scaleToFitHeight(bitmap, 100);
  public static Bitmap scaleToFitHeight(Bitmap b, int height)
  {
    float factor = height / (float) b.getHeight();
    return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, (int) (b.getWidth() * factor), height, true);
   }
 }

xml code is

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/picture"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitcenter" />

Recursion or Iteration?

Comparing recursion to iteration is like comparing a phillips head screwdriver to a flat head screwdriver. For the most part you could remove any phillips head screw with a flat head, but it would just be easier if you used the screwdriver designed for that screw right?

Some algorithms just lend themselves to recursion because of the way they are designed (Fibonacci sequences, traversing a tree like structure, etc.). Recursion makes the algorithm more succinct and easier to understand (therefore shareable and reusable).

Also, some recursive algorithms use "Lazy Evaluation" which makes them more efficient than their iterative brothers. This means that they only do the expensive calculations at the time they are needed rather than each time the loop runs.

That should be enough to get you started. I'll dig up some articles and examples for you too.

Link 1: Haskel vs PHP (Recursion vs Iteration)

Here is an example where the programmer had to process a large data set using PHP. He shows how easy it would have been to deal with in Haskel using recursion, but since PHP had no easy way to accomplish the same method, he was forced to use iteration to get the result.

http://blog.webspecies.co.uk/2011-05-31/lazy-evaluation-with-php.html

Link 2: Mastering Recursion

Most of recursion's bad reputation comes from the high costs and inefficiency in imperative languages. The author of this article talks about how to optimize recursive algorithms to make them faster and more efficient. He also goes over how to convert a traditional loop into a recursive function and the benefits of using tail-end recursion. His closing words really summed up some of my key points I think:

"recursive programming gives the programmer a better way of organizing code in a way that is both maintainable and logically consistent."

https://developer.ibm.com/articles/l-recurs/

Link 3: Is recursion ever faster than looping? (Answer)

Here is a link to an answer for a stackoverflow question that is similar to yours. The author points out that a lot of the benchmarks associated with either recursing or looping are very language specific. Imperative languages are typically faster using a loop and slower with recursion and vice-versa for functional languages. I guess the main point to take from this link is that it is very difficult to answer the question in a language agnostic / situation blind sense.

Is recursion ever faster than looping?

Is there a code obfuscator for PHP?

Try this one: http://www.pipsomania.com/best_php_obfuscator.do

Recently I wrote it in Java to obfuscate my PHP projects, because I didnt find any good and compatible ready written on the net, I decided to put it online as saas, so everyone use it free. It does not change variable names between different scripts for maximum compatibility, but is obfuscating them very good, with random logic, every instruction too. Strings... everything. I believe its much better then this buggy codeeclipse, that is by the way written in PHP and very slow :)

Preventing SQL injection in Node.js

The library has a section in the readme about escaping. It's Javascript-native, so I do not suggest switching to node-mysql-native. The documentation states these guidelines for escaping:

Edit: node-mysql-native is also a pure-Javascript solution.

  • Numbers are left untouched
  • Booleans are converted to true / false strings
  • Date objects are converted to YYYY-mm-dd HH:ii:ss strings
  • Buffers are converted to hex strings, e.g. X'0fa5'
  • Strings are safely escaped
  • Arrays are turned into list, e.g. ['a', 'b'] turns into 'a', 'b'
  • Nested arrays are turned into grouped lists (for bulk inserts), e.g. [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']] turns into ('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')
  • Objects are turned into key = 'val' pairs. Nested objects are cast to strings.
  • undefined / null are converted to NULL
  • NaN / Infinity are left as-is. MySQL does not support these, and trying to insert them as values will trigger MySQL errors until they implement support.

This allows for you to do things like so:

var userId = 5;
var query = connection.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId], function(err, results) {
  //query.sql returns SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '5'
});

As well as this:

var post  = {id: 1, title: 'Hello MySQL'};
var query = connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET ?', post, function(err, result) {
  //query.sql returns INSERT INTO posts SET `id` = 1, `title` = 'Hello MySQL'
});

Aside from those functions, you can also use the escape functions:

connection.escape(query);
mysql.escape(query);

To escape query identifiers:

mysql.escapeId(identifier);

And as a response to your comment on prepared statements:

From a usability perspective, the module is great, but it has not yet implemented something akin to PHP's Prepared Statements.

The prepared statements are on the todo list for this connector, but this module at least allows you to specify custom formats that can be very similar to prepared statements. Here's an example from the readme:

connection.config.queryFormat = function (query, values) {
  if (!values) return query;
  return query.replace(/\:(\w+)/g, function (txt, key) {
    if (values.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      return this.escape(values[key]);
    }
    return txt;
  }.bind(this));
};

This changes the query format of the connection so you can use queries like this:

connection.query("UPDATE posts SET title = :title", { title: "Hello MySQL" });
//equivalent to
connection.query("UPDATE posts SET title = " + mysql.escape("Hello MySQL");

Unique device identification

You can use the fingerprintJS2 library, it helps a lot with calculating a browser fingerprint.

By the way, on Panopticlick you can see how unique this usually is.

If you want to create a static method in a Python class, decorate it with the staticmethod decorator.

Class Test(Object):
  @staticmethod
  def method_two():
    print "Called method_two"

Test.method_two()

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent

I had this code in a fragment and it was crashing if I try to come back to this fragment

if (mRootView == null) {
    mRootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
} 

after gathering the answers on this thread, I realised that mRootView's parent still have mRootView as child. So, this was my fix.

if (mRootView == null) {
    mRootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
} else {
    ((ViewGroup) mRootView.getParent()).removeView(mRootView);
}

hope this helps

Define a struct inside a class in C++

Yes you can. In c++, class and struct are kind of similar. We can define not only structure inside a class, but also a class inside one. It is called inner class.

As an example I am adding a simple Trie class.

class Trie {
private:
    struct node{
        node* alp[26];
        bool isend;
    };
    node* root;
    node* createNode(){
        node* newnode=new node();
        for(int i=0; i<26; i++){
            newnode->alp[i]=nullptr;
        }
        newnode->isend=false;
        return newnode;
    }
public:
    /** Initialize your data structure here. */
    Trie() {
        root=createNode();
    }

    /** Inserts a word into the trie. */
    void insert(string word) {
        node* head=root;
        for(int i=0; i<word.length(); i++){
            if(head->alp[int(word[i]-'a')]==nullptr){
                node* newnode=createNode();
                head->alp[int(word[i]-'a')]=newnode;
            }
            head=head->alp[int(word[i]-'a')];
        }
        head->isend=true;
    }

    /** Returns if the word is in the trie. */
    bool search(string word) {
        node* head=root;
        for(int i=0; i<word.length(); i++){
            if(head->alp[int(word[i]-'a')]==nullptr){
                return false;
            }
            head=head->alp[int(word[i]-'a')];
        }
        if(head->isend){return true;}
        return false;
    }

    /** Returns if there is any word in the trie that starts with the given prefix. */
    bool startsWith(string prefix) {
        node* head=root;
        for(int i=0; i<prefix.length(); i++){
            if(head->alp[int(prefix[i]-'a')]==nullptr){
                return false;
            }
            head=head->alp[int(prefix[i]-'a')];
        }
        return true;
    }
};

/**
 * Your Trie object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * Trie* obj = new Trie();
 * obj->insert(word);
 * bool param_2 = obj->search(word);
 * bool param_3 = obj->startsWith(prefix);
 */

Jenkins could not run git

Another issue i faced with was, ssh.exe was not looking at the %userprofile%/.ssh folder for the key files. Instead it was looking to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\.ssh which was empty and which causes a hang due to ssh authentication prompt on the machine where git repo located.

We just copied the key files under %userprofile%/.ssh to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\.ssh and the problem is resolved.

What does the [Flags] Enum Attribute mean in C#?

  • Flags are used when an enumerable value represents a collection of enum members.

  • here we use bitwise operators, | and &

  • Example

                 [Flags]
                 public enum Sides { Left=0, Right=1, Top=2, Bottom=3 }
    
                 Sides leftRight = Sides.Left | Sides.Right;
                 Console.WriteLine (leftRight);//Left, Right
    
                 string stringValue = leftRight.ToString();
                 Console.WriteLine (stringValue);//Left, Right
    
                 Sides s = Sides.Left;
                 s |= Sides.Right;
                 Console.WriteLine (s);//Left, Right
    
                 s ^= Sides.Right; // Toggles Sides.Right
                 Console.WriteLine (s); //Left
    

How to replace plain URLs with links?

Why is my method undefined for the type object?

Change your main to:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    EchoServer echoServer = new EchoServer();
    echoServer.listen();
}

When you declare Object EchoServer0; you have a few mistakes.

  1. EchoServer0 is of type Object, therefore it doesn't have the method listen().
  2. You will also need to create an instance of it with new.
  3. Another problem, this is only regarding naming conventions, you should call your variables starting by lower case letters, echoServer0 instead of EchoServer0. Uppercase names are usually for class names.
  4. You should not create a variable with the same name as its class. It is confusing.

How to add data into ManyToMany field?

In case someone else ends up here struggling to customize admin form Many2Many saving behaviour, you can't call self.instance.my_m2m.add(obj) in your ModelForm.save override, as ModelForm.save later populates your m2m from self.cleaned_data['my_m2m'] which overwrites your changes. Instead call:

my_m2ms = list(self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'])
my_m2ms.extend(my_custom_new_m2ms)
self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'] = my_m2ms

(It is fine to convert the incoming QuerySet to a list - the ManyToManyField does that anyway.)

Angular2: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

You were getting this error because you followed the poorly-written directions on the Heroes tutorial. I ran into the same thing.

Specifically, under the heading Display hero names in a template, it states:

To display the hero names in an unordered list, insert the following chunk of HTML below the title and above the hero details.

followed by this code block:

<h2>My Heroes</h2>
<ul class="heroes">
  <li>
    <!-- each hero goes here -->
  </li>
</ul>

It does not instruct you to replace the previous detail code, and it should. This is why we are left with:

<h2>{{hero.name}} details!</h2>

outside of our *ngFor.

However, if you scroll further down the page, you will encounter the following:

The template for displaying heroes should look like this:

<h2>My Heroes</h2>
<ul class="heroes">
  <li *ngFor="let hero of heroes">
    <span class="badge">{{hero.id}}</span> {{hero.name}}
  </li>
</ul>

Note the absence of the detail elements from previous efforts.

An error like this by the author can result in quite a wild goose-chase. Hopefully, this post helps others avoid that.

jQuery rotate/transform

It's because you have a recursive function inside of rotate. It's calling itself again:

// Animate rotation with a recursive call
setTimeout(function() { rotate(++degree); },65);

Take that out and it won't keep on running recursively.

I would also suggest just using this function instead:

function rotate($el, degrees) {
    $el.css({
  '-webkit-transform' : 'rotate('+degrees+'deg)',
     '-moz-transform' : 'rotate('+degrees+'deg)',  
      '-ms-transform' : 'rotate('+degrees+'deg)',  
       '-o-transform' : 'rotate('+degrees+'deg)',  
          'transform' : 'rotate('+degrees+'deg)',  
               'zoom' : 1

    });
}

It's much cleaner and will work for the most amount of browsers.

Creating a random string with A-Z and 0-9 in Java

Here you can use my method for generating Random String

protected String getSaltString() {
        String SALTCHARS = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
        StringBuilder salt = new StringBuilder();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (salt.length() < 18) { // length of the random string.
            int index = (int) (rnd.nextFloat() * SALTCHARS.length());
            salt.append(SALTCHARS.charAt(index));
        }
        String saltStr = salt.toString();
        return saltStr;

    }

The above method from my bag using to generate a salt string for login purpose.

How to use [DllImport("")] in C#?

You can't declare an extern local method inside of a method, or any other method with an attribute. Move your DLL import into the class:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


public class WindowHandling
{
    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

    public void ActivateTargetApplication(string processName, List<string> barcodesList)
    {
        Process p = Process.Start("notepad++.exe");
        p.WaitForInputIdle();
        IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
        SetForegroundWindow(h);
        SendKeys.SendWait("k");
        IntPtr processFoundWindow = p.MainWindowHandle;
    }
}

How to make a deep copy of Java ArrayList

public class Person{

    String s;

for(Person p : originalList)
    clone.add(p.clone());

How to make scipy.interpolate give an extrapolated result beyond the input range?

1. Constant extrapolation

You can use interp function from scipy, it extrapolates left and right values as constant beyond the range:

>>> from scipy import interp, arange, exp
>>> x = arange(0,10)
>>> y = exp(-x/3.0)
>>> interp([9,10], x, y)
array([ 0.04978707,  0.04978707])

2. Linear (or other custom) extrapolation

You can write a wrapper around an interpolation function which takes care of linear extrapolation. For example:

from scipy.interpolate import interp1d
from scipy import arange, array, exp

def extrap1d(interpolator):
    xs = interpolator.x
    ys = interpolator.y

    def pointwise(x):
        if x < xs[0]:
            return ys[0]+(x-xs[0])*(ys[1]-ys[0])/(xs[1]-xs[0])
        elif x > xs[-1]:
            return ys[-1]+(x-xs[-1])*(ys[-1]-ys[-2])/(xs[-1]-xs[-2])
        else:
            return interpolator(x)

    def ufunclike(xs):
        return array(list(map(pointwise, array(xs))))

    return ufunclike

extrap1d takes an interpolation function and returns a function which can also extrapolate. And you can use it like this:

x = arange(0,10)
y = exp(-x/3.0)
f_i = interp1d(x, y)
f_x = extrap1d(f_i)

print f_x([9,10])

Output:

[ 0.04978707  0.03009069]

Java Date - Insert into database

Granted, PreparedStatement will make your code better, but to answer your question you need to tell the DBMS the format of your string representation of the Date. In Oracle (you don't name your database vendor) a string date is converted to Date using the TO_DATE() function:

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME(
  date_column
)values(
  TO_DATE('06/06/2006', 'mm/dd/yyyy')
)
