The open source URL rewriter for ASP.NET from urlrewriter.net

Get file content from URL?

$url = "https://chart.googleapis....";
$json = file_get_contents($url);

Now you can either echo the $json variable, if you just want to display the output, or you can decode it, and do something with it, like so:

$data = json_decode($json);
var_dump($data);

Do I use <img>, <object>, or <embed> for SVG files?

An easy alternative that works for me is to insert the svg code into a div. This simple example uses javascript to manipulate the div innerHTML.

_x000D_
_x000D_
svg = '<svg height=150>'; 
svg+= '<rect height=100% fill=green /><circle cx=150 cy=75 r=60 fill=yellow />';
svg+= '<text x=150 y=95 font-size=60 text-anchor=middle fill=red>IIIIIII</text></svg>';
document.all.d1.innerHTML=svg;
_x000D_
<div id='d1' style="float:right;"></div><hr>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How do I access store state in React Redux?

You need to use Store.getState() to get current state of your Store.

Visual Studio 2015 is very slow

My Visual Studio 2015 RTM was also very slow using ReSharper 9.1.2, but it has worked fine since I upgraded to 9.1.3 (see ReSharper 9.1.3 to the Rescue). Perhaps a cue.

One more cue. A ReSharper 9.2 version was made available to:

How do I limit the number of results returned from grep?

Awk approach:

awk '/pattern/{print; count++; if (count==10) exit}' file

How do I clone a generic list in C#?

You can use extension method:

namespace extension
{
    public class ext
    {
        public static List<double> clone(this List<double> t)
        {
            List<double> kop = new List<double>();
            int x;
            for (x = 0; x < t.Count; x++)
            {
                kop.Add(t[x]);
            }
            return kop;
        }
   };

}

You can clone all objects by using their value type members for example, consider this class:

public class matrix
{
    public List<List<double>> mat;
    public int rows,cols;
    public matrix clone()
    { 
        // create new object
        matrix copy = new matrix();
        // firstly I can directly copy rows and cols because they are value types
        copy.rows = this.rows;  
        copy.cols = this.cols;
        // but now I can no t directly copy mat because it is not value type so
        int x;
        // I assume I have clone method for List<double>
        for(x=0;x<this.mat.count;x++)
        {
            copy.mat.Add(this.mat[x].clone());
        }
        // then mat is cloned
        return copy; // and copy of original is returned 
    }
};

Note: if you do any change on copy (or clone) it will not affect the original object.

mysqldump & gzip commands to properly create a compressed file of a MySQL database using crontab

Besides the solution of m79lkm above, my 2 cents on this topic is not to directly pipe the result in gzip but first dump it as a .sql file, and then gzip it. (Use && instead of | )

The dump itself will be faster. (for what I tested it was double as fast)

Otherwise you tables will be locked longer and the downtime/slow-responding of your application can bother the users. The mysqldump command is taking a lot of resources from your server.

So I would go for "&& gzip" instead of "| gzip"

Important: check for free disk space first with df -h since you will need more then piping | gzip.

mysqldump -u user -p[user_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql && gzip dumpfilename.sql

-> which will also result in 1 file called dumpfilename.sql.gz

Furthermore the option --single-transaction prevents the tables being locked but still result in a solid backup. So you might consider to use that option. See docs here

mysqldump --single-transaction -u user -p[user_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql && gzip dumpfilename.sql

Difference between Build Solution, Rebuild Solution, and Clean Solution in Visual Studio?

The one major thing I think people are leaving out is that Build and Clean are both tasks that are performed based on Visual Studio's knowledge of your Project/Solution. I see a lot of complaining that Clean doesn't work or leaves leftover files or is not trustworthy, when in fact, the reasons you say it isn't trustworthy actually makes it more trustworthy.

Clean will only remove (clean) files and/or directories that Visual Studio or the compiler themselves have in fact created. If you copy your own files or files/folder structures get created from an outside tool or source, then Visual Studio doesn't "know they exist" and therefore, should not touch them.

Can you imagine if the Clean operation basically performed a "del *.*" ? This could be catastrophic.

Build performs a compile on changed or necessary projects.

Rebuild performs a compile regardless of change or what's necessary.

Clean removes files/folders it has created in the past, but leaves anything that it didn't have anything to do with, initially.

I hope this elaborates a bit and helps.

How to kill a while loop with a keystroke?

There is always sys.exit().

The system library in Python's core library has an exit function which is super handy when prototyping. The code would be along the lines of:

import sys

while True:
    selection = raw_input("U: Create User\nQ: Quit")
    if selection is "Q" or selection is "q":
        print("Quitting")
        sys.exit()
    if selection is "U" or selection is "u":
        print("User")
        #do_something()

Failed to load ApplicationContext for JUnit test of Spring controller

There can be multiple root causes for this exception. For me, my mockMvc wasn't getting auto-configured. I solved this exception by using @WebMvcTest(MyController.class) at the class level. This annotation will disable full auto-configuration and instead apply only configuration relevant to MVC tests.

An alternative to this is, If you are looking to load your full application configuration and use MockMVC, you should consider @SpringBootTest combined with @AutoConfigureMockMvc rather than @WebMvcTest

What is the size of a pointer?

Pointers are not always the same size on the same architecture.

You can read more on the concept of "near", "far" and "huge" pointers, just as an example of a case where pointer sizes differ...

How to urlencode data for curl command?

There is an excellent answer from Orwellophile, which does include a pure bash option (function rawurlencode), which I've used on my website (shell based CGI script, large number of URLS in response to search requests). The only draw back was high CPU during peak time.

I've found a modified solution, leverage bash "global replace" feature. With this solution processing time for url encode is 4X faster. The solution identify the characters to be escaped, and uses the "global replace" operator (${var//source/replacement}) to process all substitutions. The speed up is clearly from using bash internal loops, over explicit loop.

Performance: On core i3-8100 3.60Ghz. Test case: 1000 URL from stack overflow, similar to this ticket: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/296536/how-to-urlencode-data-for-curl-command".

  • Existing Solution: 0.807 sec
  • Optimized Solution: 0.162 sec (5X speedup)
url_encode()
{
    local key="${1}" varname="${2:-_rval}" prefix="${3:-_ENCKEY_}"
    local unsafe=${key//[-_.~a-zA-Z0-9 ]/} 
    local -i key_len=${#unsafe}
    local ch ch1 ch0

    while [ "$unsafe" ] ;do
        ch=${unsafe:0:1}
        ch0="\\$ch"
        printf -v ch1 '%%%02x' "'$ch'" 
        key=${key//$ch0/"$ch1"}
        unsafe=${unsafe//"$ch0"}
    done
    key=${key// /+} 

    REPLY="$key"
    # printf "%s" "$REPLY"
    return 0
}

As a minor extra, it uses '+' to encode the space. Slightly more compact URL.

Benchmark:

function t {
    local key
    for (( i=1 ; i<=$1 ; i++ )) do url_encode "$2" kkk2 ; done
    echo "K=$REPLY"
}

href overrides ng-click in Angular.js

Just one more hint. If you need real URL (to support browser accessibility) you can do the following:

template:

<a ng-href="{{link}}" ng-click="$event.preventDefault(); linkClicked(link)">{{link}}</a>

directive:

$scope.linkClicked = function(link){
    // your code here
    $location.path(link);
};

In this way your code in linkClicked() will have chance to execute before navigating to the link

Android: How to detect double-tap?

Why aren't you using a Long Press? Or are you using that already for something else? The advantages of a Long Press over a Double Touch:

  • Long Press is a recommeded interaction in the UI Guidelines, Double Touch is not.
  • It's what users expect; a user might not find a Double Touch action as they won't go looking for it
  • It's already handled in the API.
  • Implementing a Double Touch will affect handling of Single Touches, because you'll have to wait to see if every Single Touch turns into a Double Touch before you can process it.

Can we rely on String.isEmpty for checking null condition on a String in Java?

No, absolutely not - because if acct is null, it won't even get to isEmpty... it will immediately throw a NullPointerException.

Your test should be:

if (acct != null && !acct.isEmpty())

Note the use of && here, rather than your || in the previous code; also note how in your previous code, your conditions were wrong anyway - even with && you would only have entered the if body if acct was an empty string.

Alternatively, using Guava:

if (!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(acct))

How to add new activity to existing project in Android Studio?

In Android Studio, go to app -> src -> main -> java -> com.example.username.projectname

Right click on com.example.username.projectname -> Activity -> ActivityType

Fill in the details of the New Android Activity and click Finish.

Viola! new activity added to the existing project.

How to have a default option in Angular.js select box

In my case since the default varies from case to case in the form. I add a custom attribute in the select tag.

 <select setSeletected="{{data.value}}">
      <option value="value1"> value1....
      <option value="value2"> value2....
       ......

in the directives I created a script that checks the value and when angular fills it in sets the option with that value to selected.

 .directive('setSelected', function(){
    restrict: 'A',
    link: (scope, element, attrs){
     function setSel=(){
     //test if the value is defined if not try again if so run the command
       if (typeof attrs.setSelected=='undefined'){             
         window.setTimeout( function(){setSel()},300) 
       }else{
         element.find('[value="'+attrs.setSelected+'"]').prop('selected',true);          
       }
     }
    }

  setSel()

})

just translated this from coffescript on the fly at least the jist of it is correct if not the hole thing.

It's not the simplest way but get it done when the value varies

Difference between SET autocommit=1 and START TRANSACTION in mysql (Have I missed something?)

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html

The correct way to use LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES with transactional tables, such as InnoDB tables, is to begin a transaction with SET autocommit = 0 (not START TRANSACTION) followed by LOCK TABLES, and to not call UNLOCK TABLES until you commit the transaction explicitly. For example, if you need to write to table t1 and read from table t2, you can do this:

SET autocommit=0;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 READ, ...;... do something with tables t1 and t2 here ...
COMMIT;
UNLOCK TABLES;

Is there a way to run Bash scripts on Windows?

There's one more theoretical possibility to do it: professional versions of Windows have built-in POSIX support, so bash could have been compiled for Windows natively.

Pity, but I still haven't found a compiled one myself...

Excel VBA Check if directory exists error

To check for the existence of a directory using Dir, you need to specify vbDirectory as the second argument, as in something like:

If Dir("C:\2013 Recieved Schedules" & "\" & client, vbDirectory) = "" Then

Note that, with vbDirectory, Dir will return a non-empty string if the specified path already exists as a directory or as a file (provided the file doesn't have any of the read-only, hidden, or system attributes). You could use GetAttr to be certain it's a directory and not a file.

ReactJS call parent method

Using Function || stateless component

Parent Component

 import React from "react";
 import ChildComponent from "./childComponent";

 export default function Parent(){

 const handleParentFun = (value) =>{
   console.log("Call to Parent Component!",value);
 }
 return (<>
           This is Parent Component
           <ChildComponent 
             handleParentFun={(value)=>{
               console.log("your value -->",value);
               handleParentFun(value);
             }}
           />
        </>);
}

Child Component

import React from "react";


export default function ChildComponent(props){
  return(
         <> This is Child Component 
          <button onClick={props.handleParentFun("YoureValue")}>
            Call to Parent Component Function
          </button>
         </>
        );
}

Component based game engine design

In this context components to me sound like isolated runtime portions of an engine that may execute concurrently with other components. If this is the motivation then you might want to look at the actor model and systems that make use of it.

JavaScript module pattern with example

I thought i'd expand on the above answer by talking about how you'd fit modules together into an application. I'd read about this in the doug crockford book but being new to javascript it was all still a bit mysterious.

I come from a c# background so have added some terminology I find useful from there.

Html

You'll have some kindof top level html file. It helps to think of this as your project file. Every javascript file you add to the project wants to go into this, unfortunately you dont get tool support for this (I'm using IDEA).

You need add files to the project with script tags like this:

        <script type="text/javascript" src="app/native/MasterFile.js" /></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="app/native/SomeComponent.js" /></script>

It appears collapsing the tags causes things to fail - whilst it looks like xml it's really something with crazier rules!

Namespace file

MasterFile.js

myAppNamespace = {};

that's it. This is just for adding a single global variable for the rest of our code to live in. You could also declare nested namespaces here (or in their own files).

Module(s)

SomeComponent.js

myAppNamespace.messageCounter= (function(){

    var privateState = 0;

    var incrementCount = function () {
        privateState += 1;
    };

    return function (message) {
        incrementCount();
        //TODO something with the message! 
    }
})();

What we're doing here is assigning a message counter function to a variable in our application. It's a function which returns a function which we immediately execute.

Concepts

I think it helps to think of the top line in SomeComponent as being the namespace where you are declaring something. The only caveat to this is all your namespaces need to appear in some other file first - they are just objects rooted by our application variable.

I've only taken minor steps with this at the moment (i'm refactoring some normal javascript out of an extjs app so I can test it) but it seems quite nice as you can define little functional units whilst avoiding the quagmire of 'this'.

You can also use this style to define constructors by returning a function which returns an object with a collection of functions and not calling it immediately.

PHP function to generate v4 UUID

My answer is based on comment uniqid user comment but it uses openssl_random_pseudo_bytes function to generate random string instead of reading from /dev/urandom

    $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved >> 2;
    $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved | 0x8000;

    return sprintf('%08s-%04s-%04x-%04x-%012s', $time_low, $time_mid, $time_hi_and_version, $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved, $node);

How can I clone an SQL Server database on the same server in SQL Server 2008 Express?

Using MS SQL Server 2012, you need to perform 3 basic steps:

  1. First, generate .sql file containing only the structure of the source DB

    • right click on the source DB and then Tasks then Generate Scripts
    • follow the wizard and save the .sql file locally
  2. Second, replace the source DB with the destination one in the .sql file

    • Right click on the destination file, select New Query and Ctrl-H or (Edit - Find and replace - Quick replace)
  3. Finally, populate with data

    • Right click on the destination DB, then select Tasks and Import Data
    • Data source drop down set to ".net framework data provider for SQL server" + set the connection string text field under DATA ex: Data Source=Mehdi\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=db_test;User ID=sa;Password=sqlrpwrd15
    • do the same with the destination
    • check the table you want to transfer or check box besides "source: ..." to check all of them

You are done.

Android: Creating a Circular TextView?

I was also looking for a solution to this problem and as easy and comfortable I found, was to convert the shape of a rectangular TextView to cirular. With this method will be perfect:

  1. Create a new XML file in the drawable folder called "circle.xml" (for example) and fill it with the following code:

    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="oval">
    
        <solid android:color="#9FE554" />
    
        <size
            android:height="60dp"
            android:width="60dp" />
    
    </shape>
    

With this file you will create the new form of TextView. In this case, I created a circle of green. If you want to add a border, you would have to add the following code to the previous file:

    <stroke
        android:width="2dp"
        android:color="#FFFFFF" />
  1. Create another XML file ( "rounded_textview.xml") in the drawable folder with the following code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:drawable="@drawable/circle" />
    </selector>
    

This file will serve to change the way the TextView we eligamos.

  1. Finally, in the TextView properties we want to change the way section, we headed to the "background" and select the second XML file created ( "rounded_textview.xml").

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="H"
        android:textSize="30sp"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_textview"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:id="@+id/mark" />
    

With these steps, instead of having a TextView TextView rectagular have a circular. Just change the shape, not the functionality of the TextView. The result would be the following:

enter image description here

Also I have to say that these steps can be applied to any other component having the option to "background" in the properties.

Luck!!

How to check if a function exists on a SQL database

I've found you can use a very non verbose and straightforward approach to checking for the existence various SQL Server objects this way:

IF OBJECTPROPERTY (object_id('schemaname.scalarfuncname'), 'IsScalarFunction') = 1
IF OBJECTPROPERTY (object_id('schemaname.tablefuncname'), 'IsTableFunction') = 1
IF OBJECTPROPERTY (object_id('schemaname.procname'), 'IsProcedure') = 1

This is based on the OBJECTPROPERTY function which is available in SQL 2005+. The MSDN article can be found here.

The OBJECTPROPERTY function uses the following signature:

OBJECTPROPERTY ( id , property ) 

You pass a literal value into the property parameter, designating the type of object you are looking for. There's a massive list of values you can supply.

getApplication() vs. getApplicationContext()

It seems to have to do with context wrapping. Most classes derived from Context are actually a ContextWrapper, which essentially delegates to another context, possibly with changes by the wrapper.

The context is a general abstraction that supports mocking and proxying. Since many contexts are bound to a limited-lifetime object such as an Activity, there needs to be a way to get a longer-lived context, for purposes such as registering for future notifications. That is achieved by Context.getApplicationContext(). A logical implementation is to return the global Application object, but nothing prevents a context implementation from returning a wrapper or proxy with a suitable lifetime instead.

Activities and services are more specifically associated with an Application object. The usefulness of this, I believe, is that you can create and register in the manifest a custom class derived from Application and be certain that Activity.getApplication() or Service.getApplication() will return that specific object of that specific type, which you can cast to your derived Application class and use for whatever custom purpose.

In other words, getApplication() is guaranteed to return an Application object, while getApplicationContext() is free to return a proxy instead.

Reading images in python

For the better answer, you can use these lines of code. Here is the example maybe help you :

image = cv2.imread('/home/pictures/1.jpg')
plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()

In imread() you can pass the directory .so you can also use str() and + to combine dynamic directories and fixed directory like this:

path = '/home/pictures/'
for i in range(2) :
    image = cv2.imread(str(path)+'1.jpg')
    plt.imshow(image)
    plt.show()

Both are the same.

How to check the function's return value if true or false

false != 'false'

For good measures, put the result of validate into a variable to avoid double validation and use that in the IF statement. Like this:

var result = ValidateForm();
if(result == false) {
...
}

How do I return an int from EditText? (Android)

First of all get a string from an EDITTEXT and then convert this string into integer like

      String no=myTxt.getText().toString();       //this will get a string                               
      int no2=Integer.parseInt(no);              //this will get a no from the string

Load content of a div on another page

Yes, see "Loading Page Fragments" on http://api.jquery.com/load/.

In short, you add the selector after the URL. For example:

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html #container');

How to print star pattern in JavaScript in a very simple manner?

        document.write("*");  

      }

      document.write("<br/>");
}

Convert string to List<string> in one line?

I prefer this because it prevents a single item list with an empty item if your source string is empty:

  IEnumerable<string> namesList = 
      !string.isNullOrEmpty(names) ? names.Split(',') : Enumerable.Empty<string>();

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with Oracle JDK 1.8.0_45.

So it is clear that it allows you to:

  • call a compiled dynamically loaded library (here written in C) with arbitrary assembly code from Java
  • and get results back into Java

This could be used to:

  • write faster code on a critical section with better CPU assembly instructions (not CPU portable)
  • make direct system calls (not OS portable)

with the tradeoff of lower portability.

It is also possible for you to call Java from C, but you must first create a JVM in C: How to call Java functions from C++?

Example on GitHub for you to play with.

Using continue in a switch statement

It's syntactically correct and stylistically okay.

Good style requires every case: statement should end with one of the following:

 break;
 continue;
 return (x);
 exit (x);
 throw (x);
 //fallthrough

Additionally, following case (x): immediately with

 case (y):
 default:

is permissible - bundling several cases that have exactly the same effect.

Anything else is suspected to be a mistake, just like if(a=4){...} Of course you need enclosing loop (while, for, do...while) for continue to work. It won't loop back to case() alone. But a construct like:

while(record = getNewRecord())
{
    switch(record.type)
    {
        case RECORD_TYPE_...;
            ...
        break;
        default: //unknown type
            continue; //skip processing this record altogether.
    }
    //...more processing...
}

...is okay.

How do you change the text in the Titlebar in Windows Forms?

If you want to update it later, once "this" no longer references it, I had some luck with assigning a variable to point to the main form.

  static Form f0;
  public OrdUpdate()
  {
   InitializeComponent();
   f0=this;
  }
  // then later you can say
  f0.Text="New text";

SQL Server - SELECT FROM stored procedure

You can cheat a little with OPENROWSET :

SELECT ...fieldlist...
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'connection string', 'name of sp')
WHERE ...

This would still run the entire SP every time, of course.

How to enable curl in Wamp server

The steps are as follows :

  1. Close WAMP (if running)
  2. Navigate to WAMP\bin\php\(your version of php)\
  3. Edit php.ini
  4. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
  5. Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache\(your version of apache)\bin\
  6. Edit php.ini
  7. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
  8. Save both
  9. Restart WAMP

PG::ConnectionBad - could not connect to server: Connection refused

To fix these type of issues with Postgres and to work with Postgres on Mac OSX, this is probably the BEST and the EASIEST solution that I have found so far:

Just download, install and be happy :)

Error: Execution failed for task ':app:clean'. Unable to delete file

Though this has already been answered, I came from a non-android project and found this, but it could not solve my issue. If someone does see this error, delete the "build" folder manually through your file manager. For me, this repaired the code failing to compile in Kotlin.

Adding author name in Eclipse automatically to existing files

To old files I don't know how to do it... I think you will need a script to go thru all files and add the header.

To change the new ones you can do this.

Go to Eclipse menu bar

  1. Window menu.
  2. Preferences
  3. search for Templates
  4. go to Code templates
  5. click on +code
  6. Click on New Java files
  7. Click Edit
  8. add

/**
${user}
*/

And it's done every new File will have your name on it !

How to split one string into multiple strings separated by at least one space in bash shell?

For checking spaces just with bash:

[[ "$str" = "${str% *}" ]] && echo "no spaces" || echo "has spaces"

If hasClass then addClass to parent

You can't use $(this) since jQuery doesn't know what it is there. You seem to be overcomplicating things. You can do $('#content h1.aktiv').hide(). There's no reason to test to see if the class exists.

slideToggle JQuery right to left

include Jquery and Jquery UI plugins and try this

 $("#LeftSidePane").toggle('slide','left',400);

lambda expression join multiple tables with select and where clause

If I understand your questions correctly, all you need to do is add the .Where(m => m.r.u.UserId == 1):

    var UserInRole = db.UserProfiles.
        Join(db.UsersInRoles, u => u.UserId, uir => uir.UserId,
        (u, uir) => new { u, uir }).
        Join(db.Roles, r => r.uir.RoleId, ro => ro.RoleId, (r, ro) => new { r, ro })
        .Where(m => m.r.u.UserId == 1)
        .Select (m => new AddUserToRole
        {
            UserName = m.r.u.UserName,
            RoleName = m.ro.RoleName
        });

Hope that helps.

AngularJS: ng-show / ng-hide not working with `{{ }}` interpolation

You can't use {{}} when using angular directives for binding with ng-model but for binding non-angular attributes you would have to use {{}}..

Eg:

ng-show="my-model"
title = "{{my-model}}"

iPhone viewWillAppear not firing

My issue was that viewWillAppear was not called when unwinding from a segue. The answer was to put a call to viewWillAppear(true) in the unwind segue in the View Controller that you segueing back to

@IBAction func unwind(for unwindSegue: UIStoryboardSegue, ViewController subsequentVC: Any) {

   viewWillAppear(true)
}

WAMP uses different php.ini files in the CLI and for Apache. when you enable php_openssl through the WAMP UI, you enable it for Apache, not for the CLI. You need to modify C:\wamp\bin\php\php-5.4.3\php.ini to enable it for the CLI.

How do I check whether a file exists without exceptions?

Although almost every possible way has been listed in (at least one of) the existing answers (e.g. Python 3.4 specific stuff was added), I'll try to group everything together.

Note: every piece of Python standard library code that I'm going to post, belongs to version 3.5.3.

Problem statement:

  1. Check file (arguable: also folder ("special" file) ?) existence
  2. Don't use try / except / else / finally blocks

Possible solutions:

  1. [Python 3]: os.path.exists(path) (also check other function family members like os.path.isfile, os.path.isdir, os.path.lexists for slightly different behaviors)

    os.path.exists(path)
    

    Return True if path refers to an existing path or an open file descriptor. Returns False for broken symbolic links. On some platforms, this function may return False if permission is not granted to execute os.stat() on the requested file, even if the path physically exists.

    All good, but if following the import tree:

    • os.path - posixpath.py (ntpath.py)

      • genericpath.py, line ~#20+

        def exists(path):
            """Test whether a path exists.  Returns False for broken symbolic links"""
            try:
                st = os.stat(path)
            except os.error:
                return False
            return True
        

    it's just a try / except block around [Python 3]: os.stat(path, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True). So, your code is try / except free, but lower in the framestack there's (at least) one such block. This also applies to other funcs (including os.path.isfile).

    1.1. [Python 3]: Path.is_file()

    • It's a fancier (and more pythonic) way of handling paths, but
    • Under the hood, it does exactly the same thing (pathlib.py, line ~#1330):

      def is_file(self):
          """
          Whether this path is a regular file (also True for symlinks pointing
          to regular files).
          """
          try:
              return S_ISREG(self.stat().st_mode)
          except OSError as e:
              if e.errno not in (ENOENT, ENOTDIR):
                  raise
              # Path doesn't exist or is a broken symlink
              # (see https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/pathlib/issue/12/)
              return False
      
  2. [Python 3]: With Statement Context Managers. Either:

    • Create one:

      class Swallow:  # Dummy example
          swallowed_exceptions = (FileNotFoundError,)
      
          def __enter__(self):
              print("Entering...")
      
          def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback):
              print("Exiting:", exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback)
              return exc_type in Swallow.swallowed_exceptions  # only swallow FileNotFoundError (not e.g. TypeError - if the user passes a wrong argument like None or float or ...)
      
      • And its usage - I'll replicate the os.path.isfile behavior (note that this is just for demonstrating purposes, do not attempt to write such code for production):

        import os
        import stat
        
        
        def isfile_seaman(path):  # Dummy func
            result = False
            with Swallow():
                result = stat.S_ISREG(os.stat(path).st_mode)
            return result
        
    • Use [Python 3]: contextlib.suppress(*exceptions) - which was specifically designed for selectively suppressing exceptions


    But, they seem to be wrappers over try / except / else / finally blocks, as [Python 3]: The with statement states:

    This allows common try...except...finally usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.

  3. Filesystem traversal functions (and search the results for matching item(s))


    Since these iterate over folders, (in most of the cases) they are inefficient for our problem (there are exceptions, like non wildcarded globbing - as @ShadowRanger pointed out), so I'm not going to insist on them. Not to mention that in some cases, filename processing might be required.

  4. [Python 3]: os.access(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, effective_ids=False, follow_symlinks=True) whose behavior is close to os.path.exists (actually it's wider, mainly because of the 2nd argument)

    • user permissions might restrict the file "visibility" as the doc states:

      ...test if the invoking user has the specified access to path. mode should be F_OK to test the existence of path...

    os.access("/tmp", os.F_OK)

    Since I also work in C, I use this method as well because under the hood, it calls native APIs (again, via "${PYTHON_SRC_DIR}/Modules/posixmodule.c"), but it also opens a gate for possible user errors, and it's not as Pythonic as other variants. So, as @AaronHall rightly pointed out, don't use it unless you know what you're doing:

    Note: calling native APIs is also possible via [Python 3]: ctypes - A foreign function library for Python, but in most cases it's more complicated.

    (Win specific): Since vcruntime* (msvcr*) .dll exports a [MS.Docs]: _access, _waccess function family as well, here's an example:

    Python 3.5.3 (v3.5.3:1880cb95a742, Jan 16 2017, 16:02:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import os, ctypes
    >>> ctypes.CDLL("msvcrt")._waccess(u"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe", os.F_OK)
    0
    >>> ctypes.CDLL("msvcrt")._waccess(u"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe.notexist", os.F_OK)
    -1
    

    Notes:

    • Although it's not a good practice, I'm using os.F_OK in the call, but that's just for clarity (its value is 0)
    • I'm using _waccess so that the same code works on Python3 and Python2 (in spite of unicode related differences between them)
    • Although this targets a very specific area, it was not mentioned in any of the previous answers


    The Lnx (Ubtu (16 x64)) counterpart as well:

    Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23)
    [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import os, ctypes
    >>> ctypes.CDLL("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6").access(b"/tmp", os.F_OK)
    0
    >>> ctypes.CDLL("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6").access(b"/tmp.notexist", os.F_OK)
    -1
    

    Notes:

    • Instead hardcoding libc's path ("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6") which may (and most likely, will) vary across systems, None (or the empty string) can be passed to CDLL constructor (ctypes.CDLL(None).access(b"/tmp", os.F_OK)). According to [man7]: DLOPEN(3):

      If filename is NULL, then the returned handle is for the main program. When given to dlsym(), this handle causes a search for a symbol in the main program, followed by all shared objects loaded at program startup, and then all shared objects loaded by dlopen() with the flag RTLD_GLOBAL.

      • Main (current) program (python) is linked against libc, so its symbols (including access) will be loaded
      • This has to be handled with care, since functions like main, Py_Main and (all the) others are available; calling them could have disastrous effects (on the current program)
      • This doesn't also apply to Win (but that's not such a big deal, since msvcrt.dll is located in "%SystemRoot%\System32" which is in %PATH% by default). I wanted to take things further and replicate this behavior on Win (and submit a patch), but as it turns out, [MS.Docs]: GetProcAddress function only "sees" exported symbols, so unless someone declares the functions in the main executable as __declspec(dllexport) (why on Earth the regular person would do that?), the main program is loadable but pretty much unusable
  5. Install some third-party module with filesystem capabilities

    Most likely, will rely on one of the ways above (maybe with slight customizations).
    One example would be (again, Win specific) [GitHub]: mhammond/pywin32 - Python for Windows (pywin32) Extensions, which is a Python wrapper over WINAPIs.

    But, since this is more like a workaround, I'm stopping here.

  6. Another (lame) workaround (gainarie) is (as I like to call it,) the sysadmin approach: use Python as a wrapper to execute shell commands

    • Win:

      (py35x64_test) e:\Work\Dev\StackOverflow\q000082831>"e:\Work\Dev\VEnvs\py35x64_test\Scripts\python.exe" -c "import os; print(os.system('dir /b \"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe\" > nul 2>&1'))"
      0
      
      (py35x64_test) e:\Work\Dev\StackOverflow\q000082831>"e:\Work\Dev\VEnvs\py35x64_test\Scripts\python.exe" -c "import os; print(os.system('dir /b \"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe.notexist\" > nul 2>&1'))"
      1
      
    • Nix (Lnx (Ubtu)):

      [cfati@cfati-ubtu16x64-0:~]> python3 -c "import os; print(os.system('ls \"/tmp\" > /dev/null 2>&1'))"
      0
      [cfati@cfati-ubtu16x64-0:~]> python3 -c "import os; print(os.system('ls \"/tmp.notexist\" > /dev/null 2>&1'))"
      512
      

Bottom line:

  • Do use try / except / else / finally blocks, because they can prevent you running into a series of nasty problems. A counter-example that I can think of, is performance: such blocks are costly, so try not to place them in code that it's supposed to run hundreds of thousands times per second (but since (in most cases) it involves disk access, it won't be the case).

Final note(s):

  • I will try to keep it up to date, any suggestions are welcome, I will incorporate anything useful that will come up into the answer

POST Multipart Form Data using Retrofit 2.0 including image

Uploading Files using Retrofit is Quite Simple You need to build your api interface as

public interface Api {

    String BASE_URL = "http://192.168.43.124/ImageUploadApi/";


    @Multipart
    @POST("yourapipath")
    Call<MyResponse> uploadImage(@Part("image\"; filename=\"myfile.jpg\" ") RequestBody file, @Part("desc") RequestBody desc);

}

in the above code image is the key name so if you are using php you will write $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] to get this. And filename="myfile.jpg" is the name of your file that is being sent with the request.

Now to upload the file you need a method that will give you the absolute path from the Uri.

private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
    String[] proj = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
    CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(this, contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
    Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground();
    int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    String result = cursor.getString(column_index);
    cursor.close();
    return result;
}

Now you can use the below code to upload your file.

 private void uploadFile(Uri fileUri, String desc) {

        //creating a file
        File file = new File(getRealPathFromURI(fileUri));

        //creating request body for file
        RequestBody requestFile = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse(getContentResolver().getType(fileUri)), file);
        RequestBody descBody = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), desc);

        //The gson builder
        Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
                .setLenient()
                .create();


        //creating retrofit object
        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(Api.BASE_URL)
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
                .build();

        //creating our api 
        Api api = retrofit.create(Api.class);

        //creating a call and calling the upload image method 
        Call<MyResponse> call = api.uploadImage(requestFile, descBody);

        //finally performing the call 
        call.enqueue(new Callback<MyResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<MyResponse> call, Response<MyResponse> response) {
                if (!response.body().error) {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "File Uploaded Successfully...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Some error occurred...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<MyResponse> call, Throwable t) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

How to simplify a null-safe compareTo() implementation?

You could design your class to be immutable (Effective Java 2nd Ed. has a great section on this, Item 15: Minimize mutability) and make sure upon construction that no nulls are possible (and use the null object pattern if needed). Then you can skip all those checks and safely assume the values are not null.

Find location of a removable SD card

This solution handles the fact that System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE") is of no use with Marshmallow.

Laravel 5 Class 'form' not found

There is an update to this for Laravel 5.2. Notice this is a slightly different format from what is indicated above.

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require laravelcollective/html.

"require": {
    "laravelcollective/html": "5.2.*"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Next, add your new provider to the providers array of config/app.php:

  'providers' => [
    // ...
    Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
    // ...
  ],

Finally, add two class aliases to the aliases array of config/app.php:

  'aliases' => [
    // ...
      'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
      'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
    // ...
  ],

After making this update this code worked for me on a new installation of Laravel 5.2:

{!! Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')) !!}
    //
{!! Form::close() !!}

I got this information here: https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.2/html

password for postgres

Set the default password in the .pgpass file. If the server does not save the password, it is because it is not set in the .pgpass file, or the permissions are open and the file is therefore ignored.

Read more about the password file here.

Also, be sure to check the permissions: on *nix systems the permissions on .pgpass must disallow any access to world or group; achieve this by the command chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass. If the permissions are less strict than this, the file will be ignored.

Have you tried logging-in using PGAdmin? You can save the password there, and modify the pgpass file.

How to get the EXIF data from a file using C#

Getting EXIF data from a JPEG image involves:

  1. Seeking to the JPEG markers which mentions the beginning of the EXIF data,. e.g. normally oxFFE1 is the marker inserted while encoding EXIF data, which is a APPlication segment, where EXIF data goes.
  2. Parse all the data from say 0xFFE1 to 0xFFE2 . This data would be stream of bytes, in the JPEG encoded file.
  3. ASCII equivalent of these bytes would contain various information related to Image Date, Camera Model Name, Exposure etc...

What is the SSIS package and what does it do?

Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a platform for building high-performance data integration solutions, including extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) packages for data warehousing. SSIS includes graphical tools and wizards for building and debugging packages; tasks for performing workflow functions such as FTP operations, executing SQL statements, and sending e-mail messages; data sources and destinations for extracting and loading data; transformations for cleaning, aggregating, merging, and copying data; a management database, SSISDB, for administering package execution and storage; and application programming interfaces (APIs) for programming the Integration Services object model.

As per Microsoft, the main uses of SSIS Package are:

• Merging Data from Heterogeneous Data Stores Populating Data

• Warehouses and Data Marts Cleaning and Standardizing Data Building

• Business Intelligence into a Data Transformation Process Automating

• Administrative Functions and Data Loading

How to convert string to integer in PowerShell

You can specify the type of a variable before it to force its type. It's called (dynamic) casting (more information is here):

$string = "1654"
$integer = [int]$string

$string + 1
# Outputs 16541

$integer + 1
# Outputs 1655

As an example, the following snippet adds, to each object in $fileList, an IntVal property with the integer value of the Name property, then sorts $fileList on this new property (the default is ascending), takes the last (highest IntVal) object's IntVal value, increments it and finally creates a folder named after it:

# For testing purposes
#$fileList = @([PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "11" }, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "2" }, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "1" })
# OR
#$fileList = New-Object -TypeName System.Collections.ArrayList
#$fileList.AddRange(@([PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "11" }, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "2" }, [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "1" })) | Out-Null

$highest = $fileList |
    Select-Object *, @{ n = "IntVal"; e = { [int]($_.Name) } } |
    Sort-Object IntVal |
    Select-Object -Last 1

$newName = $highest.IntVal + 1

New-Item $newName -ItemType Directory

Sort-Object IntVal is not needed so you can remove it if you prefer.

[int]::MaxValue = 2147483647 so you need to use the [long] type beyond this value ([long]::MaxValue = 9223372036854775807).

Storing an object in state of a React component?

this.setState({abc: {xyz: 'new value'}}); will NOT work, as state.abc will be entirely overwritten, not merged.

This works for me:

this.setState((previousState) => {
  previousState.abc.xyz = 'blurg';
  return previousState;
});

Unless I'm reading the docs wrong, Facebook recommends the above format. https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/component-api.html

Additionally, I guess the most direct way without mutating state is to directly copy by using the ES6 spread/rest operator:

const newState = { ...this.state.abc }; // deconstruct state.abc into a new object-- effectively making a copy
newState.xyz = 'blurg';
this.setState(newState);

Convert data file to blob

A file object is an instance of Blob but a blob object is not an instance of File

new File([], 'foo.txt').constructor.name === 'File' //true
new File([], 'foo.txt') instanceof File // true
new File([], 'foo.txt') instanceof Blob // true

new Blob([]).constructor.name === 'Blob' //true
new Blob([]) instanceof Blob //true
new Blob([]) instanceof File // false

new File([], 'foo.txt').constructor.name === new Blob([]).constructor.name //false

If you must convert a file object to a blob object, you can create a new Blob object using the array buffer of the file. See the example below.

let file = new File(['hello', ' ', 'world'], 'hello_world.txt', {type: 'text/plain'});
//or let file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
let reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
    let blob = new Blob([new Uint8Array(e.target.result)], {type: file.type });
    console.log(blob);
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);

As pointed by @bgh you can also use the arrayBuffer method of the File object. See the example below.

let file = new File(['hello', ' ', 'world'], 'hello_world.txt', {type: 'text/plain'});
//or let file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];

file.arrayBuffer().then((arrayBuffer) => {
    let blob = new Blob([new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer)], {type: file.type });
    console.log(blob);
});

If your environment supports async/await you can use a one-liner like below

let fileToBlob = async (file) => new Blob([new Uint8Array(await file.arrayBuffer())], {type: file.type });
console.log(await fileToBlob(new File(['hello', ' ', 'world'], 'hello_world.txt', {type: 'text/plain'})));

How to detect window.print() finish

Save it with the extension .bat.
Copy it to the directory which has the .jar file.
Double click it to run your .jar file.

Get yesterday's date using Date

   cal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
   System.out.println("Yesterday's date was "+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime())); 

Cannot attach the file *.mdf as database

Ran into this issue. Caused in my case by deleting the .mdf while iispexress was still running and therefor still using the DB. Right click on iisexpress in system tray and click exit THEN delete the MDF to prevent this error from actually occurring.

To fix this error simply within VS right click the App-Data folder add new item > SQL Server Database. Name: [use the database name provided by the update-database error] Click Add.

Detect if a NumPy array contains at least one non-numeric value?

Pfft! Microseconds! Never solve a problem in microseconds that can be solved in nanoseconds.

Note that the accepted answer:

  • iterates over the whole data, regardless of whether a nan is found
  • creates a temporary array of size N, which is redundant.

A better solution is to return True immediately when NAN is found:

import numba
import numpy as np

NAN = float("nan")

@numba.njit(nogil=True)
def _any_nans(a):
    for x in a:
        if np.isnan(x): return True
    return False

@numba.jit
def any_nans(a):
    if not a.dtype.kind=='f': return False
    return _any_nans(a.flat)

array1M = np.random.rand(1000000)
assert any_nans(array1M)==False
%timeit any_nans(array1M)  # 573us

array1M[0] = NAN
assert any_nans(array1M)==True
%timeit any_nans(array1M)  # 774ns  (!nanoseconds)

and works for n-dimensions:

array1M_nd = array1M.reshape((len(array1M)/2, 2))
assert any_nans(array1M_nd)==True
%timeit any_nans(array1M_nd)  # 774ns

Compare this to the numpy native solution:

def any_nans(a):
    if not a.dtype.kind=='f': return False
    return np.isnan(a).any()

array1M = np.random.rand(1000000)
assert any_nans(array1M)==False
%timeit any_nans(array1M)  # 456us

array1M[0] = NAN
assert any_nans(array1M)==True
%timeit any_nans(array1M)  # 470us

%timeit np.isnan(array1M).any()  # 532us

The early-exit method is 3 orders or magnitude speedup (in some cases). Not too shabby for a simple annotation.

bind/unbind service example (android)

First of all, two things that we need to understand,

Client

  • It makes request to a specific server

bindService(new Intent("com.android.vending.billing.InAppBillingService.BIND"), mServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

here mServiceConn is instance of ServiceConnection class(inbuilt) it is actually interface that we need to implement with two (1st for network connected and 2nd network not connected) method to monitor network connection state.

Server

  • It handles the request of the client and makes replica of its own which is private to client only who send request and this raplica of server runs on different thread.

Now at client side, how to access all the methods of server?

  • Server sends response with IBinder Object. So, IBinder object is our handler which accesses all the methods of Service by using (.) operator.

.

MyService myService;
public ServiceConnection myConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
    public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder binder) {
        Log.d("ServiceConnection","connected");
        myService = binder;
    }
    //binder comes from server to communicate with method's of 

    public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
        Log.d("ServiceConnection","disconnected");
        myService = null;
    }
}

Now how to call method which lies in service

myservice.serviceMethod();

Here myService is object and serviceMethod is method in service. and by this way communication is established between client and server.

How do I check if a string contains another string in Swift?

Of all of the answers here, I think they either don't work, or they're a bit of a hack (casting back to NSString). It's very likely that the correct answer to this has changed with the different beta releases.

Here is what I use:

let string: String = "hello Swift"
if string.rangeOfString("Swift") != nil
{
    println("exists")
}

The "!= nil" became required with Beta 5.

CodeIgniter Disallowed Key Characters

The problem is you are using characters not included in the standard Regex. Use this:

!preg_match("/^[a-z0-9\x{4e00}-\x{9fa5}\:\;\.\,\?\!\@\#\$%\^\*\"\~\'+=\\\ &_\/\.\[\]-\}\{]+$/iu", $str)

As per the comments (and personal experience) you should not modify they Input.php file — rather, you should create/use your own MY_Input.php as follows:

<?php

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

    /**
     * Clean Keys
     *
     * This is a helper function. To prevent malicious users
     * from trying to exploit keys we make sure that keys are
     * only named with alpha-numeric text and a few other items.
     * 
     * Extended to allow: 
     *      - '.' (dot), 
     *      - '[' (open bracket),
     *      - ']' (close bracket)
     * 
     * @access  private
     * @param   string
     * @return  string
     */
    function _clean_input_keys($str) {
        // UPDATE: Now includes comprehensive Regex that can process escaped JSON
        if (!preg_match("/^[a-z0-9\:\;\.\,\?\!\@\#\$%\^\*\"\~\'+=\\\ &_\/\.\[\]-\}\{]+$/iu", $str)) {
            /**
             * Check for Development enviroment - Non-descriptive 
             * error so show me the string that caused the problem 
             */
            if (getenv('ENVIRONMENT') && getenv('ENVIRONMENT') == 'DEVELOPMENT') {
                var_dump($str);
            }
            exit('Disallowed Key Characters.');
        }

        // Clean UTF-8 if supported
        if (UTF8_ENABLED === TRUE) {
            $str = $this->uni->clean_string($str);
        }

        return $str;
    }

}

++Chinese Character Support

// NOTE: \x{4e00}-\x{9fa5} = allow chinese characters
// NOTE: 'i' — case insensitive
// NOTE: 'u' — UTF-8 mode
if (!preg_match("/^[a-z0-9\x{4e00}-\x{9fa5}\:\;\.\,\?\!\@\#\$%\^\*\"\~\'+=\\\ &_\/\.\[\]-\}\{]+$/iu", $str) { ... }

// NOTE: When Chinese characters are provided in a URL, they are not 'really' there; the browser/OS
//   handles the copy/paste -> unicode conversion, eg:
//        ???  -->  xn--4gqsa60b   
//   'punycode' converts these codes according to RFC 3492 and RFC 5891.
//   https://github.com/bestiejs/punycode.js ---  $ bower install punycode

Case insensitive 'in'

Here's one way:

if string1.lower() in string2.lower(): 
    ...

For this to work, both string1 and string2 objects must be of type string.

Multiple conditions in ngClass - Angular 4

There are multiple ways to write same logic. As it mentioned earlier, you can use object notation or simply expression. However, I think you should not that much logic in HTML. Hard to test and find issue. You can use a getter function to assign the class.

For Instance;

public getCustomCss() {
    //Logic here;
    if(this.x == this.y){
        return 'class1'
    }
    if(this.x == this.z){
        return 'class2'
    }
}
<!-- HTML -->
<div [ngClass]="getCustomCss()"> Some prop</div>

//OR

get customCss() {
    //Logic here;
    if(this.x == this.y){
        return 'class1'
    }
    if(this.x == this.z){
        return 'class2'
    }
}
<!-- HTML -->
<div [ngClass]="customCss"> Some prop</div>

<meta property="og:url"                content="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/arts/international/when-great-minds-dont-think-alike.html" />
<meta property="og:type"               content="article" />
<meta property="og:title"              content="When Great Minds Don’t Think Alike" />
<meta property="og:description"        content="How much does culture influence creative thinking?" />
<meta property="og:image"              content="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/19/arts/international/19iht-btnumbers19A/19iht-btnumbers19A-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg" />

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly (from installutil.exe)

I had the same issue. I using the standard command for execution. It was calling the X64 ro run against X86 tests. I needed to specify the X86 and not the X64 version of the nunit-runner.

How to add two edit text fields in an alert dialog

Have a look at the AlertDialog docs. As it states, to add a custom view to your alert dialog you need to find the frameLayout and add your view to that like so:

FrameLayout fl = (FrameLayout) findViewById(android.R.id.custom);
fl.addView(myView, new LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, WRAP_CONTENT));

Most likely you are going to want to create a layout xml file for your view, and inflate it:

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View twoEdits = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_layout, f1, false);

How to find item with max value using linq?

With EF or LINQ to SQL:

var item = db.Items.OrderByDescending(i => i.Value).FirstOrDefault();

With LINQ to Objects I suggest to use morelinq extension MaxBy (get morelinq from nuget):

var item = items.MaxBy(i => i.Value);

Count the number occurrences of a character in a string

count is definitely the most concise and efficient way of counting the occurrence of a character in a string but I tried to come up with a solution using lambda, something like this :

sentence = 'Mary had a little lamb'
sum(map(lambda x : 1 if 'a' in x else 0, sentence))

This will result in :

4

Also, there is one more advantage to this is if the sentence is a list of sub-strings containing same characters as above, then also this gives the correct result because of the use of in. Have a look :

sentence = ['M', 'ar', 'y', 'had', 'a', 'little', 'l', 'am', 'b']
sum(map(lambda x : 1 if 'a' in x else 0, sentence))

This also results in :

4

But Of-course this will work only when checking occurrence of single character such as 'a' in this particular case.

What is an Endpoint?

An endpoint is a URL pattern used to communicate with an API.

How can I use jQuery to make an input readonly?

Maybe use atribute disabled:

<input disabled="disabled" id="fieldName" name="fieldName" type="text" class="text_box" />

Or just use label tag: ;)

How to recognize vehicle license / number plate (ANPR) from an image?

EDIT: I wrote a Python script for this.

As your objective is blurring (for privacy protection), you basically need a high recall detector as a first step. Here's how to go about doing this. The included code hints use OpenCV with Python.

  1. Convert to Grayscale.
  2. Apply Gaussian Blur.

    img = cv2.imread('input.jpg',1)
    img_gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    img_gray = cv2.GaussianBlur(img_gray, (5,5), 0)  
    

Let the input image be the following.

enter image description here

  1. Apply Sobel Filter to detect vertical edges.
  2. Threshold the resultant image using strict threshold or OTSU's binarization.

    cv2.Sobel(image, -1, 1, 0)
    cv2.threshold() 
    
  3. Apply a Morphological Closing operation using suitable structuring element. (I used 16x4 as structuring element)

    se = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT,(16,4))
    cv2.morphologyEx(image, cv2.MORPH_CLOSE, se)  
    

Resultant Image after Step 5.

enter image description here

  1. Find external contours of this image.

    cv2.findContours(image, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE) 
    
  2. For each contour, find the minAreaRect() bounding it.

  3. Select rectangles based on aspect ratio, minimum and maximum area, and angle with the horizontal. (I used 2.2 <= Aspect Ratio <= 8, 500 <= Area <=15000, and angle <= 45 degrees)

All minAreaRect()s are shown in orange and the one which satisfies our criteria is in green.

enter image description here

  1. There may be false positives after this step, to filter it, use edge density. Edge Density is defined as the number of white pixels/total number of pixels in a rectangle. Set a threshold for edge density. (I used 0.5)

enter image description here

  1. Blur the detected regions.

enter image description here

You can apply other filters you deem suitable to increase recall and precision. The detection can also be trained using HOG+SVM to increase precision.

How to set tint for an image view programmatically in android?

If your color has hex transparency, use the below code.

ImageViewCompat.setImageTintMode(imageView, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, ColorStateList.valueOf(Color.parseColor("#80000000")));

To clear the tint

ImageViewCompat.setImageTintList(imageView, null);

Is there a way to break a list into columns?

The mobile-first way is to use CSS Columns to create an experience for smaller screens then use Media Queries to increase the number of columns at each of your layout's defined breakpoints.

_x000D_
_x000D_
ul {_x000D_
  column-count: 2;_x000D_
  column-gap: 2rem;_x000D_
}_x000D_
@media screen and (min-width: 768px)) {_x000D_
  ul {_x000D_
    column-count: 3;_x000D_
    column-gap: 5rem;_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<ul>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_
  <li>Item</li>_x000D_

Best way to convert text files between character sets?

Stand-alone utility approach

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 in.txt > out.txt
-f ENCODING  the encoding of the input
-t ENCODING  the encoding of the output

You don't have to specify either of these arguments. They will default to your current locale, which is usually UTF-8.

Center/Set Zoom of Map to cover all visible Markers?

You need to use the fitBounds() method.

var markers = [];//some array
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
 bounds.extend(markers[i]);
}

map.fitBounds(bounds);

Documentation from developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript:

fitBounds(bounds[, padding])

Parameters:

`bounds`:  [`LatLngBounds`][1]|[`LatLngBoundsLiteral`][1]
`padding` (optional):  number|[`Padding`][1]

Return Value: None

Sets the viewport to contain the given bounds.
Note: When the map is set to display: none, the fitBounds function reads the map's size as 0x0, and therefore does not do anything. To change the viewport while the map is hidden, set the map to visibility: hidden, thereby ensuring the map div has an actual size.

how to insert value into DataGridView Cell?

This is perfect code but it cannot add a new row:

dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[columnIndex].Value = value;

But this code can insert a new row:

var index = this.dataGridView1.Rows.Add();
this.dataGridView1.Rows[index].Cells[1].Value = "1";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[index].Cells[2].Value = "Baqar";

Send an Array with an HTTP Get

That depends on what the target server accepts. There is no definitive standard for this. See also a.o. Wikipedia: Query string:

While there is no definitive standard, most web frameworks allow multiple values to be associated with a single field (e.g. field1=value1&field1=value2&field2=value3).[4][5]

Generally, when the target server uses a strong typed programming language like Java (Servlet), then you can just send them as multiple parameters with the same name. The API usually offers a dedicated method to obtain multiple parameter values as an array.

foo=value1&foo=value2&foo=value3
String[] foo = request.getParameterValues("foo"); // [value1, value2, value3]

The request.getParameter("foo") will also work on it, but it'll return only the first value.

String foo = request.getParameter("foo"); // value1

And, when the target server uses a weak typed language like PHP or RoR, then you need to suffix the parameter name with braces [] in order to trigger the language to return an array of values instead of a single value.

foo[]=value1&foo[]=value2&foo[]=value3
$foo = $_GET["foo"]; // [value1, value2, value3]
echo is_array($foo); // true

In case you still use foo=value1&foo=value2&foo=value3, then it'll return only the first value.

$foo = $_GET["foo"]; // value1
echo is_array($foo); // false

Do note that when you send foo[]=value1&foo[]=value2&foo[]=value3 to a Java Servlet, then you can still obtain them, but you'd need to use the exact parameter name including the braces.

String[] foo = request.getParameterValues("foo[]"); // [value1, value2, value3]

Get Environment Variable from Docker Container

The proper way to run echo "$ENV_VAR" inside the container so that the variable substitution happens in the container is:

docker exec <container_id> bash -c 'echo "$ENV_VAR"'

Jackson enum Serializing and DeSerializer

I did it like this :

// Your JSON
{"event":"forgot password"}

// Your class to map 
public class LoggingDto {
    @JsonProperty(value = "event")
    private FooEnum logType;
}

//Your enum
public enum FooEnum {

    DATA_LOG ("Dummy 1"),
    DATA2_LOG ("Dummy 2"),
    DATA3_LOG ("forgot password"),
    DATA4_LOG ("Dummy 4"),
    DATA5_LOG ("Dummy 5"),
    UNKNOWN ("");

    private String fullName;

    FooEnum(String fullName) {
        this.fullName = fullName;
    }

    public String getFullName() {
        return fullName;
    }

    @JsonCreator
    public static FooEnum getLogTypeFromFullName(String fullName) {
        for (FooEnum logType : FooEnum.values()) {
            if (logType.fullName.equals(fullName)) {
                return logType;
            }
        }
        return UNKNOWN;
    }


}

So the value of the property "logType" for class LoggingDto will be DATA3_LOG

Reading output of a command into an array in Bash

The other answers will break if output of command contains spaces (which is rather frequent) or glob characters like *, ?, [...].

To get the output of a command in an array, with one line per element, there are essentially 3 ways:

  1. With Bash=4 use mapfile—it's the most efficient:

    mapfile -t my_array < <( my_command )
    
  2. Otherwise, a loop reading the output (slower, but safe):

    my_array=()
    while IFS= read -r line; do
        my_array+=( "$line" )
    done < <( my_command )
    
  3. As suggested by Charles Duffy in the comments (thanks!), the following might perform better than the loop method in number 2:

    IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' -a my_array < <( my_command && printf '\0' )
    

    Please make sure you use exactly this form, i.e., make sure you have the following:

    • IFS=$'\n' on the same line as the read statement: this will only set the environment variable IFS for the read statement only. So it won't affect the rest of your script at all. The purpose of this variable is to tell read to break the stream at the EOL character \n.
    • -r: this is important. It tells read to not interpret the backslashes as escape sequences.
    • -d '': please note the space between the -d option and its argument ''. If you don't leave a space here, the '' will never be seen, as it will disappear in the quote removal step when Bash parses the statement. This tells read to stop reading at the nil byte. Some people write it as -d $'\0', but it is not really necessary. -d '' is better.
    • -a my_array tells read to populate the array my_array while reading the stream.
    • You must use the printf '\0' statement after my_command, so that read returns 0; it's actually not a big deal if you don't (you'll just get an return code 1, which is okay if you don't use set -e – which you shouldn't anyway), but just bear that in mind. It's cleaner and more semantically correct. Note that this is different from printf '', which doesn't output anything. printf '\0' prints a null byte, needed by read to happily stop reading there (remember the -d '' option?).

If you can, i.e., if you're sure your code will run on Bash=4, use the first method. And you can see it's shorter too.

If you want to use read, the loop (method 2) might have an advantage over method 3 if you want to do some processing as the lines are read: you have direct access to it (via the $line variable in the example I gave), and you also have access to the lines already read (via the array ${my_array[@]} in the example I gave).

Note that mapfile provides a way to have a callback eval'd on each line read, and in fact you can even tell it to only call this callback every N lines read; have a look at help mapfile and the options -C and -c therein. (My opinion about this is that it's a little bit clunky, but can be used sometimes if you only have simple things to do — I don't really understand why this was even implemented in the first place!).


Now I'm going to tell you why the following method:

my_array=( $( my_command) )

is broken when there are spaces:

$ # I'm using this command to test:
$ echo "one two"; echo "three four"
one two
three four
$ # Now I'm going to use the broken method:
$ my_array=( $( echo "one two"; echo "three four" ) )
$ declare -p my_array
declare -a my_array='([0]="one" [1]="two" [2]="three" [3]="four")'
$ # As you can see, the fields are not the lines
$
$ # Now look at the correct method:
$ mapfile -t my_array < <(echo "one two"; echo "three four")
$ declare -p my_array
declare -a my_array='([0]="one two" [1]="three four")'
$ # Good!

Then some people will then recommend using IFS=$'\n' to fix it:

$ IFS=$'\n'
$ my_array=( $(echo "one two"; echo "three four") )
$ declare -p my_array
declare -a my_array='([0]="one two" [1]="three four")'
$ # It works!

But now let's use another command, with globs:

$ echo "* one two"; echo "[three four]"
* one two
[three four]
$ IFS=$'\n'
$ my_array=( $(echo "* one two"; echo "[three four]") )
$ declare -p my_array
declare -a my_array='([0]="* one two" [1]="t")'
$ # What?

That's because I have a file called t in the current directory… and this filename is matched by the glob [three four]… at this point some people would recommend using set -f to disable globbing: but look at it: you have to change IFS and use set -f to be able to fix a broken technique (and you're not even fixing it really)! when doing that we're really fighting against the shell, not working with the shell.

$ mapfile -t my_array < <( echo "* one two"; echo "[three four]")
$ declare -p my_array
declare -a my_array='([0]="* one two" [1]="[three four]")'

here we're working with the shell!

Keyboard shortcut to change font size in Eclipse?

Take a look at this project: http://code.google.com/p/tarlog-plugins/downloads/detail?name=tarlog.eclipse.plugins_1.4.2.jar&can=2&q=

It has some other features, but most importantly, it has Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to change the font size, it's awesome.

Why does Date.parse give incorrect results?

Another solution is to build an associative array with date format and then reformat data.

This method is useful for date formatted in an unussual way.

An example:

    mydate='01.02.12 10:20:43':
    myformat='dd/mm/yy HH:MM:ss';


    dtsplit=mydate.split(/[\/ .:]/);
    dfsplit=myformat.split(/[\/ .:]/);

    // creates assoc array for date
    df = new Array();
    for(dc=0;dc<6;dc++) {
            df[dfsplit[dc]]=dtsplit[dc];
            }

    // uses assc array for standard mysql format
    dstring[r] = '20'+df['yy']+'-'+df['mm']+'-'+df['dd'];
    dstring[r] += ' '+df['HH']+':'+df['MM']+':'+df['ss'];

rails 3 validation on uniqueness on multiple attributes

In Rails 2, I would have written:

validates_uniqueness_of :zipcode, :scope => :recorded_at

In Rails 3:

validates :zipcode, :uniqueness => {:scope => :recorded_at}

For multiple attributes:

validates :zipcode, :uniqueness => {:scope => [:recorded_at, :something_else]}

What is "export default" in JavaScript?

What is “export default” in JavaScript?

In default export the naming of import is completely independent and we can use any name we like.

I will illustrate this line with a simple example.

Let’s say we have three modules and an index.html file:

  • modul.js
  • modul2.js
  • modul3.js
  • index.html

File modul.js

export function hello() {
    console.log("Modul: Saying hello!");
}

export let variable = 123;

File modul2.js

export function hello2() {
    console.log("Module2: Saying hello for the second time!");
}

export let variable2 = 456;

modul3.js

export default function hello3() {
    console.log("Module3: Saying hello for the third time!");
}

File index.html

<script type="module">
import * as mod from './modul.js';
import {hello2, variable2} from './modul2.js';
import blabla from './modul3.js'; // ! Here is the important stuff - we name the variable for the module as we like

mod.hello();
console.log("Module: " + mod.variable);

hello2();
console.log("Module2: " + variable2);

blabla();
</script>

The output is:

modul.js:2:10   -> Modul: Saying hello!
index.html:7:9  -> Module: 123
modul2.js:2:10  -> Module2: Saying hello for the second time!
index.html:10:9 -> Module2: 456
modul3.js:2:10  -> Module3: Saying hello for the third time!

So the longer explanation is:

'export default' is used if you want to export a single thing for a module.

So the thing that is important is "import blabla from './modul3.js'" - we could say instead:

"import pamelanderson from './modul3.js" and then pamelanderson();. This will work just fine when we use 'export default' and basically this is it - it allows us to name it whatever we like when it is default.


P.S.: If you want to test the example - create the files first, and then allow CORS in the browser -> if you are using Firefox type in the URL of the browser: about:config -> Search for "privacy.file_unique_origin" -> change it to "false" -> open index.html -> press F12 to open the console and see the output -> Enjoy and don't forget to return the CORS settings to default.

P.S.2: Sorry for the silly variable naming

Authentication issues with WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate

Putting this information here for future readers' benefit.

  • 401 (Unauthorized) response header -> Request authentication header

  • Here are several WWW-Authenticate response headers. (The full list is at IANA: HTTP Authentication Schemes.)

    • WWW-Authenticate: Basic-> Authorization: Basic + token - Use for basic authentication
    • WWW-Authenticate: NTLM-> Authorization: NTLM + token (2 challenges)
    • WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate -> Authorization: Negotiate + token - used for Kerberos authentication
      • By the way: IANA has this angry remark about Negotiate: This authentication scheme violates both HTTP semantics (being connection-oriented) and syntax (use of syntax incompatible with the WWW-Authenticate and Authorization header field syntax).

You can set the Authorization: Basic header only when you also have the WWW-Authenticate: Basic header on your 401 challenge.

But since you have WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate this should be the case for Kerberos based authentication.

TypeError: 'DataFrame' object is not callable

It seems you need DataFrame.var:

Normalized by N-1 by default. This can be changed using the ddof argument

var1 = credit_card.var()

Sample:

#random dataframe
np.random.seed(100)
credit_card = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(10, size=(5,5)), columns=list('ABCDE'))
print (credit_card)
   A  B  C  D  E
0  8  8  3  7  7
1  0  4  2  5  2
2  2  2  1  0  8
3  4  0  9  6  2
4  4  1  5  3  4

var1 = credit_card.var()
print (var1)
A     8.8
B    10.0
C    10.0
D     7.7
E     7.8
dtype: float64

var2 = credit_card.var(axis=1)
print (var2)
0     4.3
1     3.8
2     9.8
3    12.2
4     2.3
dtype: float64

If need numpy solutions with numpy.var:

print (np.var(credit_card.values, axis=0))
[ 7.04  8.    8.    6.16  6.24]

print (np.var(credit_card.values, axis=1))
[ 3.44  3.04  7.84  9.76  1.84]

Differences are because by default ddof=1 in pandas, but you can change it to 0:

var1 = credit_card.var(ddof=0)
print (var1)
A    7.04
B    8.00
C    8.00
D    6.16
E    6.24
dtype: float64

var2 = credit_card.var(ddof=0, axis=1)
print (var2)
0    3.44
1    3.04
2    7.84
3    9.76
4    1.84
dtype: float64

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

Strong:

  • Property will not Destroy but Only once you set the property to nil will the object get destroyed
  • By default all instance variables and local variables are strong pointers.
  • You use strong only if you need to retain the object.
  • We generally use strong for UIViewControllers (UI item's parents)
  • IOS 4 (non-ARC) We Can Use Retain KeyWord
  • IOS 5(ARC) We Can Use Strong Keyword

Example: @property (strong, nonatomic) ViewController *viewController;

@synthesize viewController;

Weak

By Default automatically get and set to nil

  • We generally use weak for IBOutlets (UIViewController's Childs) and delegate
  • the same thing as assign, no retain or release

Example : @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton;

@synthesize myButton;

How to launch an EXE from Web page (asp.net)

How do I flush the PRINT buffer in TSQL?

Yes... The first parameter of the RAISERROR function needs an NVARCHAR variable. So try the following;

-- Replace PRINT function
DECLARE @strMsg NVARCHAR(100)
SELECT @strMsg = 'Here''s your message...'
RAISERROR (@strMsg, 0, 1) WITH NOWAIT

OR

RAISERROR (n'Here''s your message...', 0, 1) WITH NOWAIT

How to analyze a JMeter summary report?

A Jmeter Test Plan must have listener to showcase the result of performance test execution.

  • Listeners capture the response coming back from Server while Jmeter runs and showcase in the form of – tree, tables, graphs and log files.

  • It also allows you to save the result in a file for future reference. There are many types of listeners Jmeter provides. Some of them are: Summary Report, Aggregate Report, Aggregate Graph, View Results Tree, View Results in Table etc.

Here is the detailed understanding of each parameter in Summary report.

By referring to the figure:

image

Label: It is the name/URL for the specific HTTP(s) Request. If you have selected “Include group name in label?” option then the name of the Thread Group is applied as the prefix to each label.

Samples: This indicates the number of virtual users per request.

Average: It is the average time taken by all the samples to execute specific label. In our case, the average time for Label 1 is 942 milliseconds & total average time is 584 milliseconds.

Min: The shortest time taken by a sample for specific label. If we look at Min value for Label 1 then, out of 20 samples shortest response time one of the sample had was 584 milliseconds.

Max: The longest time taken by a sample for specific label. If we look at Max value for Label 1 then, out of 20 samples longest response time one of the sample had was 2867 milliseconds.

Std. Dev.: This shows the set of exceptional cases which were deviating from the average value of sample response time. The lesser this value more consistent the data. Standard deviation should be less than or equal to half of the average time for a label.

Error%: Percentage of Failed requests per Label.

Throughput: Throughput is the number of request that are processed per time unit(seconds, minutes, hours) by the server. This time is calculated from the start of first sample to the end of the last sample. Larger throughput is better.

KB/Sec: This indicates the amount of data downloaded from server during the performance test execution. In short, it is the Throughput measured in Kilobytes per second.

How to implement class constants?

Either use readOnly modifier with the constant one needs to declare or one might declare a constant outside the class and use it specifically only in the required class using get operator.

Is there a way to list open transactions on SQL Server 2000 database?

DBCC OPENTRAN helps to identify active transactions that may be preventing log truncation. DBCC OPENTRAN displays information about the oldest active transaction and the oldest distributed and nondistributed replicated transactions, if any, within the transaction log of the specified database. Results are displayed only if there is an active transaction that exists in the log or if the database contains replication information.

An informational message is displayed if there are no active transactions in the log.

Python Pip install Error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. Tried all solutions

I have tried all suggestions and found my own simple solution.

The problem is that codes written in external environment like C need compiler. Look for its own VS environment, i.e. VS 2008.

Currently my machine runs VS 2012 and faces Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. I studied codes that i want to install to find the VS version. It was VS 2008. i have add to system variable VS90COMNTOOLS as variable name and gave the value of VS120COMNTOOLS.

You can find my step by step solution below:

  1. Right click on My Computer.
  2. Click Properties
  3. Advanced system settings
  4. Environment variables
  5. Add New system variable
  6. Enter VS90COMNTOOLS to the variable name
  7. Enter the value of current version to the new variable.
  8. Close all windows

Now open a new session and pip install your-package

Capitalize or change case of an NSString in Objective-C

Here ya go:

viewNoteDateMonth.text  = [[displayDate objectAtIndex:2] uppercaseString];

Btw:
"april" is lowercase ? [NSString lowercaseString]
"APRIL" is UPPERCASE ? [NSString uppercaseString]
"April May" is Capitalized/Word Caps ? [NSString capitalizedString]
"April may" is Sentence caps ? (method missing; see workaround below)

Hence what you want is called "uppercase", not "capitalized". ;)

As for "Sentence Caps" one has to keep in mind that usually "Sentence" means "entire string". If you wish for real sentences use the second method, below, otherwise the first:

@interface NSString ()

- (NSString *)sentenceCapitalizedString; // sentence == entire string
- (NSString *)realSentenceCapitalizedString; // sentence == real sentences

@end

@implementation NSString

- (NSString *)sentenceCapitalizedString {
    if (![self length]) {
        return [NSString string];
    }
    NSString *uppercase = [[self substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString];
    NSString *lowercase = [[self substringFromIndex:1] lowercaseString];
    return [uppercase stringByAppendingString:lowercase];
}

- (NSString *)realSentenceCapitalizedString {
    __block NSMutableString *mutableSelf = [NSMutableString stringWithString:self];
    [self enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [self length])
                             options:NSStringEnumerationBySentences
                          usingBlock:^(NSString *sentence, NSRange sentenceRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
        [mutableSelf replaceCharactersInRange:sentenceRange withString:[sentence sentenceCapitalizedString]];
    }];
    return [NSString stringWithString:mutableSelf]; // or just return mutableSelf.
}

@end

Razor/CSHTML - Any Benefit over what we have?

One of the benefits is that Razor views can be rendered inside unit tests, this is something that was not easily possible with the previous ASP.Net renderer.

From ScottGu's announcement this is listed as one of the design goals:

Unit Testable: The new view engine implementation will support the ability to unit test views (without requiring a controller or web-server, and can be hosted in any unit test project – no special app-domain required).

Using momentjs to convert date to epoch then back to date

http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/unix-timestamp/

You get the number of unix seconds, not milliseconds!

You you need to multiply it with 1000 or using valueOf() and don't forget to use a formatter, since you are using a non ISO 8601 format. And if you forget to pass the formatter, the date will be parsed in the UTC timezone or as an invalid date.

moment("10/15/2014 9:00", "MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm").valueOf()

How to disable 'X-Frame-Options' response header in Spring Security?

If you're using Spring Boot, the simplest way to disable the Spring Security default headers is to use security.headers.* properties. In particular, if you want to disable the X-Frame-Options default header, just add the following to your application.properties:

security.headers.frame=false

There is also security.headers.cache, security.headers.content-type, security.headers.hsts and security.headers.xss properties that you can use. For more information, take a look at SecurityProperties.

What are the performance characteristics of sqlite with very large database files?

How to get Exception Error Code in C#

You can use this to check the exception and the inner exception for a Win32Exception derived exception.

catch (Exception e) {  
    var w32ex = e as Win32Exception;
    if(w32ex == null) {
        w32ex = e.InnerException as Win32Exception;
    }    
    if(w32ex != null) {
        int code =  w32ex.ErrorCode;
        // do stuff
    }    
    // do other stuff   
}

Starting with C# 6, when can be used in a catch statement to specify a condition that must be true for the handler for a specific exception to execute.

catch (Win32Exception ex) when (ex.InnerException is Win32Exception) {
    var w32ex = (Win32Exception)ex.InnerException;
    var code =  w32ex.ErrorCode;
}

As in the comments, you really need to see what exception is actually being thrown to understand what you can do, and in which case a specific catch is preferred over just catching Exception. Something like:

  catch (BlahBlahException ex) {  
      // do stuff   
  }

Also System.Exception has a HRESULT

 catch (Exception ex) {  
     var code = ex.HResult;
 }

However, it's only available from .NET 4.5 upwards.

How to convert float to varchar in SQL Server

Push local Git repo to new remote including all branches and tags

I was in a process of switching from one version control service to another and needed to clone all repositories including all branches, tags and history.

To achieve above I did next:

  • manually checkout all branches to local repository (script to checkout all shown below),
  • git push origin '*:*'

.sh script used to checkout all branches to local repository:

for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD | grep -v master `; do
   git branch --track ${branch#remotes/origin/} $branch
done

Breaking to a new line with inline-block?

Remove all br tags and use display: table.

.text span {
   background: rgba(165, 220, 79, 0.8);
   display: table;
   padding: 7px 10px;
   color: white;
}
.fullscreen .large { font-size: 80px }

Explanation: The table wraps the width of its content by default without setting a width, but is still a block level element. You can get the same behavior by setting a width to other block-level elements:

<span style="display:block;border:1px solid red;width:100px;">Like a default table.</span>
<code>null</code>

Notice the <code> element doesn't flow inline with the <span> like it would normally. Check it out with the computed styles in your dev tools. You'll see pseudo margin to the right of the <span>. Anyway, this is the same as the table, but the table has the added benefit of always forming to the width of its content.

How do I call one constructor from another in Java?

Within a constructor, you can use the this keyword to invoke another constructor in the same class. Doing so is called an explicit constructor invocation.

Here's another Rectangle class, with a different implementation from the one in the Objects section.

public class Rectangle {
    private int x, y;
    private int width, height;

    public Rectangle() {
        this(1, 1);
    }
    public Rectangle(int width, int height) {
        this( 0,0,width, height);
    }
    public Rectangle(int x, int y, int width, int height) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
    }

}

This class contains a set of constructors. Each constructor initializes some or all of the rectangle's member variables.

Why is JavaFX is not included in OpenJDK 8 on Ubuntu Wily (15.10)?

According to the packages list in Ubuntu Wily Xenial Bionic there is a package named openjfx. This should be a candidate for what you're looking for:

JavaFX/OpenJFX 8 - Rich client application platform for Java

You can install it via:

sudo apt-get install openjfx

It provides the following JAR files to the OpenJDK installation on Ubuntu systems:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/jfxswt.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/lib/ant-javafx.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/lib/javafx-mx.jar

If you want to have sources available, for example for debugging, you can additionally install:

sudo apt-get install openjfx-source

Placing an image to the top right corner - CSS

While looking at the same problem, I found an example

<style type="text/css">
#topright {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    display: block;
    height: 125px;
    width: 125px;
    background: url(TRbanner.gif) no-repeat;
    text-indent: -999em;
    text-decoration: none;
}
</style>

<a id="topright" href="#" title="TopRight">Top Right Link Text</a>

The trick here is to create a small, (I used GIMP) a PNG (or GIF) that has a transparent background, (and then just delete the opposite bottom corner.)

Show/Hide Multiple Divs with Jquery

Assign each div a class. Then you can perform actions on all of them:

$(".divClass").hide();

So each button can do:

$(".divClass").hide()
$("#specificDiv").show();

You can make this more generic, and use the obvious convention - the button and the div with the same number in the id are related. So:

$(".button").click(function() {
  var divId = "#div" + $(this).attr("id").replace("showdiv", "");
  $(".divClass").hide(); 
  $(divId).show();
}

How do I find the current machine's full hostname in C (hostname and domain information)?

gethostname() is POSIX way to get local host name. Check out man.

BSD function getdomainname() can give you domain name so you can build fully qualified hostname. There is no POSIX way to get a domain I'm afraid.

Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on null

You can try/catch PDOExceptions (your configs could differ but the important part is the try/catch):

try {
        $dbh = new PDO(
            DB_TYPE . ':host=' . DB_HOST . ';dbname=' . DB_NAME . ';charset=' . DB_CHARSET,
            DB_USER,
            DB_PASS,
            [
                PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT            => true,
                PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE               => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
                PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND    => 'SET NAMES ' . DB_CHARSET . ' COLLATE ' . DB_COLLATE

            ]
        );
    } catch ( PDOException $e ) {
        echo 'ERROR!';
        print_r( $e );
    }

The print_r( $e ); line will show you everything you need, for example I had a recent case where the error message was like unknown database 'my_db'.

nginx error:"location" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:76

Best way to show a loading/progress indicator?

ProgressDialog has become deprecated since API Level 26 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ProgressDialog.html

I include a ProgressBar in my layout

   <ProgressBar
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/progressBar_cyclic"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="40dp"
        android:minWidth="40dp" />

and change its visibility to .GONE | .VISIBLE depending on the use case.

    progressBar_cyclic.visibility = View.VISIBLE

How to create JSON Object using String?

If you use the gson.JsonObject you can have something like that:

JsonObject jsonObject = (JsonObject) jsonParser.parse(jsonString)

jquery, find next element by class

Given a first selector: SelectorA, you can find the next match of SelectorB as below:

Example with mouseover to change border-with:

$("SelectorA").on("mouseover", function() {
    var i = $(this).find("SelectorB")[0];
    $(i).css({"border" : "1px"});
    });
}

General use example to change border-with:

var i = $("SelectorA").find("SelectorB")[0];
$(i).css({"border" : "1px"});

Why does .json() return a promise?

Also, what helped me understand this particular scenario that you described is the Promise API documentation, specifically where it explains how the promised returned by the then method will be resolved differently depending on what the handler fn returns:

if the handler function:

  • returns a value, the promise returned by then gets resolved with the returned value as its value;
  • throws an error, the promise returned by then gets rejected with the thrown error as its value;
  • returns an already resolved promise, the promise returned by then gets resolved with that promise's value as its value;
  • returns an already rejected promise, the promise returned by then gets rejected with that promise's value as its value.
  • returns another pending promise object, the resolution/rejection of the promise returned by then will be subsequent to the resolution/rejection of the promise returned by the handler. Also, the value of the promise returned by then will be the same as the value of the promise returned by the handler.

.Net: How do I find the .NET version?

How can I apply a function to every row/column of a matrix in MATLAB?

Many built-in operations like sum and prod are already able to operate across rows or columns, so you may be able to refactor the function you are applying to take advantage of this.

If that's not a viable option, one way to do it is to collect the rows or columns into cells using mat2cell or num2cell, then use cellfun to operate on the resulting cell array.

As an example, let's say you want to sum the columns of a matrix M. You can do this simply using sum:

M = magic(10);           %# A 10-by-10 matrix
columnSums = sum(M, 1);  %# A 1-by-10 vector of sums for each column

And here is how you would do this using the more complicated num2cell/cellfun option:

M = magic(10);                  %# A 10-by-10 matrix
C = num2cell(M, 1);             %# Collect the columns into cells
columnSums = cellfun(@sum, C);  %# A 1-by-10 vector of sums for each cell

Java: unparseable date exception

What you're basically doing here is relying on Date#toString() which already has a fixed pattern. To convert a Java Date object into another human readable String pattern, you need SimpleDateFormat#format().

private String modifyDateLayout(String inputDate) throws ParseException{
    Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z").parse(inputDate);
    return new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss").format(date);
}

By the way, the "unparseable date" exception can here only be thrown by SimpleDateFormat#parse(). This means that the inputDate isn't in the expected pattern "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z". You'll probably need to modify the pattern to match the inputDate's actual pattern.

Update: Okay, I did a test:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String inputDate = "2010-01-04 01:32:27 UTC";
    String newDate = new Test().modifyDateLayout(inputDate);
    System.out.println(newDate);
}

This correctly prints:

03.01.2010 21:32:27

(I'm on GMT-4)

Update 2: as per your edit, you really got a ParseException on that. The most suspicious part would then be the timezone of UTC. Is this actually known at your Java environment? What Java version and what OS version are you using? Check TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(). There must be a UTC in between.

Where can I set path to make.exe on Windows?

The path is in the registry but usually you edit through this interface:

  1. Go to Control Panel -> System -> System settings -> Environment Variables.
  2. Scroll down in system variables until you find PATH.
  3. Click edit and change accordingly.
  4. BE SURE to include a semicolon at the end of the previous as that is the delimiter, i.e. c:\path;c:\path2
  5. Launch a new console for the settings to take effect.

Need to make a clickable <div> button

There are two solutions posted on that page. The one with lower votes I would recommend if possible.

If you are using HTML5 then it is perfectly valid to put a div inside of a. As long as the div doesn't also contain some other specific elements like other link tags.

<a href="Music.html">
  <div id="music" class="nav">
    Music I Like
  </div>
</a>

The solution you are confused about actually makes the link as big as its container div. To make it work in your example you just need to add position: relative to your div. You also have a small syntax error which is that you have given the span a class instead of an id. You also need to put your span inside the link because that is what the user is clicking on. I don't think you need the z-index at all from that example.

div { position: relative; }
.hyperspan {
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
    left:0;
    top:0;
}

<div id="music" class="nav">Music I Like 
    <a href="http://www.google.com"> 
        <span class="hyperspan"></span>
    </a>   
</div>

http://jsfiddle.net/rBKXM/9

When you give absolute positioning to an element it bases its location and size after the first parent it finds that is relatively positioned. If none, then it uses the document. By adding relative to the parent div you tell the span to only be as big as that.

Time part of a DateTime Field in SQL

Converting String To Float in C#

Your thread's locale is set to one in which the decimal mark is "," instead of ".".

Try using this:

float.Parse("41.00027357629127", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);

Note, however, that a float cannot hold that many digits of precision. You would have to use double or Decimal to do so.

Get commit list between tags in git

If your team uses descriptive commit messages (eg. "Ticket #12345 - Update dependencies") on this project, then generating changelog since the latest tag can de done like this:

git log --no-merges --pretty=format:"%s" 'old-tag^'...new-tag > /path/to/changelog.md
  • --no-merges omits the merge commits from the list
  • old-tag^ refers to the previous commit earlier than the tagged one. Useful if you want to see the tagged commit at the bottom of the list by any reason. (Single quotes needed only for iTerm on mac OS).

Get Enum from Description attribute

Should be pretty straightforward, its just the reverse of your previous method;

public static int GetEnumFromDescription(string description, Type enumType)
{
    foreach (var field in enumType.GetFields())
    {
        DescriptionAttribute attribute
            = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(field, typeof(DescriptionAttribute))as DescriptionAttribute;
        if(attribute == null)
            continue;
        if(attribute.Description == description)
        {
            return (int) field.GetValue(null);

Console.WriteLine((Animal)GetEnumFromDescription("Giant Panda",typeof(Animal)));

how to make div click-able?

If this div is a function I suggest use cursor:pointer in your style like style="cursor:pointer" and can use onclick function.

like this

<div onclick="myfunction()" style="cursor:pointer"></div>

but I suggest you use a JS framework like jquery or extjs

In which conda environment is Jupyter executing?

I have tried every method mentioned above and nothing worked, except installing jupyter in the new environment.

to activate the new environment conda activate new_env replace 'new_env' with your environment name.

next install jupyter 'pip install jupyter'

you can also install jupyter by going to anaconda navigator and selecting the right environment, and installing jupyter notebook from Home tab

ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher exception

For a Java client calling a .net endpoint. This was caused by mismatching Soap Action header.

Content-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8;action="http://example.org/ExampleWS/exampleMethod"

The above HTTP header or following XML tag needs to match the action/method your are trying to invoke.

What is this weird colon-member (" : ") syntax in the constructor?

You are correct, this is indeed a way to initialize member variables. I'm not sure that there's much benefit to this, other than clearly expressing that it's an initialization. Having a "bar=num" inside the code could get moved around, deleted, or misinterpreted much more easily.

Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules

Don't forget that in .htaccess files it is a relative URL that is matched.

In a .htaccess file the following RewriteRule will never match:

"E: Unable to locate package python-pip" on Ubuntu 18.04

To solve the problem of:

E: Unable to locate package python-pip

you should do this. This works with the python2.7 and you not going to get disappointed by it. follow the steps that are mention below. go to get-pip.py and copy all the code from it.
open the terminal using CTRL + ALT +T

vi get-pip.py

paste the copied code here and then exit from the vi editor by pressing

ESC then :wq => press Enter

lastly, now run the code and see the magic

sudo python get-pip.py

It automatically adds the pip command in your Linux.
you can see the output of my machine

Why do I have ORA-00904 even when the column is present?

Its due to mismatch between column name defined in entity and the column name of table (in SQL db )

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: "table_name"."column_name": invalid identifier e.g.java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: "STUDENT"."NAME": invalid identifier

issue can be like in Student.java(entity file) 
You have mentioned column name as "NAME" only.
But in STUDENT table ,column name is lets say "NMAE"

Python socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

The problem obviously was (as you figured it out) that port 36250 wasn't open on the server side at the time you tried to connect (hence connection refused). I can see the server was supposed to open this socket after receiving SEND command on another connection, but it apparently was "not opening [it] up in sync with the client side".

Well, the main reason would be there was no synchronisation whatsoever. Calling:

cs.send("SEND " + FILE)
cs.close()

would just place the data into a OS buffer; close would probably flush the data and push into the network, but it would almost certainly return before the data would reach the server. Adding sleep after close might mitigate the problem, but this is not synchronisation.

The correct solution would be to make sure the server has opened the connection. This would require server sending you some message back (for example OK, or better PORT 36250 to indicate where to connect). This would make sure the server is already listening.

The other thing is you must check the return values of send to make sure how many bytes was taken from your buffer. Or use sendall.

(Sorry for disturbing with this late answer, but I found this to be a high traffic question and I really didn't like the sleep idea in the comments section.)

Making authenticated POST requests with Spring RestTemplate for Android

Very useful I had a slightly different scenario where I the request xml was itself the body of the POST and not a param. For that the following code can be used - Posting as an answer just in case anyone else having similar issue will benefit.

    final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.add("header1", "9998");
    headers.add("username", "xxxxx");
    headers.add("password", "xxxxx");
    headers.add("header2", "yyyyyy");
    headers.add("header3", "zzzzz");
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);
    headers.setAccept(Arrays.asList(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML));
    final HttpEntity<MyXmlbeansRequestDocument> httpEntity = new HttpEntity<MyXmlbeansRequestDocument>(
            MyXmlbeansRequestDocument.Factory.parse(request), headers);
    final ResponseEntity<MyXmlbeansResponseDocument> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.POST, httpEntity,MyXmlbeansResponseDocument.class);
    log.info(responseEntity.getBody());

Targeting both 32bit and 64bit with Visual Studio in same solution/project

Yes, you can target both x86 and x64 with the same code base in the same project. In general, things will Just Work if you create the right solution configurations in VS.NET (although P/Invoke to entirely unmanaged DLLs will most likely require some conditional code): the items that I found to require special attention are:

  • References to outside managed assemblies with the same name but their own specific bitness (this also applies to COM interop assemblies)
  • The MSI package (which, as has already been noted, will need to target either x86 or x64)
  • Any custom .NET Installer Class-based actions in your MSI package

The assembly reference issue can't be solved entirely within VS.NET, as it will only allow you to add a reference with a given name to a project once. To work around this, edit your project file manually (in VS, right-click your project file in the Solution Explorer, select Unload Project, then right-click again and select Edit). After adding a reference to, say, the x86 version of an assembly, your project file will contain something like:

<Reference Include="Filename, ..., processorArchitecture=x86">
  <HintPath>C:\path\to\x86\DLL</HintPath>
</Reference>

Wrap that Reference tag inside an ItemGroup tag indicating the solution configuration it applies to, e.g:

<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' ">
   <Reference ...>....</Reference>
</ItemGroup>

Then, copy and paste the entire ItemGroup tag, and edit it to contain the details of your 64-bit DLL, e.g.:

<ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x64' ">
  <Reference Include="Filename, ..., processorArchitecture=AMD64">
     <HintPath>C:\path\to\x64\DLL</HintPath>
   </Reference>
</ItemGroup>

After reloading your project in VS.NET, the Assembly Reference dialog will be a bit confused by these changes, and you may encounter some warnings about assemblies with the wrong target processor, but all your builds will work just fine.

Solving the MSI issue is up next, and unfortunately this will require a non-VS.NET tool: I prefer Caphyon's Advanced Installer for that purpose, as it pulls off the basic trick involved (create a common MSI, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit specific MSIs, and use an .EXE setup launcher to extract the right version and do the required fixups at runtime) very, very well.

You can probably achieve the same results using other tools or the Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset, but Advanced Installer makes things so easy (and is quite affordable at that) that I've never really looked at alternatives.

One thing you may still require WiX for though, even when using Advanced Installer, is for your .NET Installer Class custom actions. Although it's trivial to specify certain actions that should only run on certain platforms (using the VersionNT64 and NOT VersionNT64 execution conditions, respectively), the built-in AI custom actions will be executed using the 32-bit Framework, even on 64-bit machines.

This may be fixed in a future release, but for now (or when using a different tool to create your MSIs that has the same issue), you can use WiX 3.0's managed custom action support to create action DLLs with the proper bitness that will be executed using the corresponding Framework.


Edit: as of version 8.1.2, Advanced Installer correctly supports 64-bit custom actions. Since my original answer, its price has increased quite a bit, unfortunately, even though it's still extremely good value when compared to InstallShield and its ilk...


Edit: If your DLLs are registered in the GAC, you can also use the standard reference tags this way (SQLite as an example):

<ItemGroup Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'x86'">
    <Reference Include="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.80.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=x86" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'x64'">
    <Reference Include="System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.80.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=AMD64" />
</ItemGroup>

The condition is also reduced down to all build types, release or debug, and just specifies the processor architecture.

Select distinct values from a large DataTable column

All credit to Rajeev Kumar's answer, but I received a list of anonymous type that evaluated to string, which was not as easy to iterate over. Updating the code as below helped to return a List that was more easy to manipulate (or, for example, drop straight into a foreach block).

var distinctIds = datatable.AsEnumerable().Select(row => row.Field<string>("id")).Distinct().ToList();

Spring Data: "delete by" is supported?

If you will use pre defined delete methods as directly provided by spring JPA then below two queries will be execute by the framework.

  • First collect data(like id and other column) using by execute select query with delete query where clause.

  • then after getting resultSet of first query, second delete queries will be execute for all id(one by one)

    Note : This is not optimized way for your application because many queries will be execute for single MYSQL delete query.

This is another optimized way for delete query code because only one delete query will execute by using below customized methods.



@NamedNativeQueries({

@NamedNativeQuery(name = "Abc.deleteByCreatedTimeBetween",
            query = "DELETE FROM abc WHERE create_time BETWEEN ?1 AND ?2")
    ,

    @NamedNativeQuery(name = "Abc.getByMaxId",
            query = "SELECT max(id) from abc")
})

@Entity
public class Abc implements Serializable {

}

@Repository
public interface AbcRepository extends CrudRepository {

    int getByMaxId();

    @Transactional
    @Modifying
    void deleteByCreatedTimeBetween(String startDate, String endDate);
}

Add a summary row with totals

Try to use union all as below

SELECT [Type], [Total Sales] From Before
union all
SELECT 'Total', Sum([Total Sales]) From Before

if you have problem with ordering, as i-one suggested try this:

select [Type], [Total Sales] 
from (SELECT [Type], [Total Sales], 0 [Key] 
      From Before 
      union all 
      SELECT 'Total', Sum([Total Sales]), 1 From Before) sq 
order by [Key], Type

How to get browser width using JavaScript code?

Update for 2017

My original answer was written in 2009. While it still works, I'd like to update it for 2017. Browsers can still behave differently. I trust the jQuery team to do a great job at maintaining cross-browser consistency. However, it's not necessary to include the entire library. In the jQuery source, the relevant portion is found on line 37 of dimensions.js. Here it is extracted and modified to work standalone:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function getWidth() {_x000D_
  return Math.max(_x000D_
    document.body.scrollWidth,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.scrollWidth,_x000D_
    document.body.offsetWidth,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.offsetWidth,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.clientWidth_x000D_
  );_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function getHeight() {_x000D_
  return Math.max(_x000D_
    document.body.scrollHeight,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.scrollHeight,_x000D_
    document.body.offsetHeight,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.offsetHeight,_x000D_
    document.documentElement.clientHeight_x000D_
  );_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log('Width:  ' +  getWidth() );_x000D_
console.log('Height: ' + getHeight() );
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Original Answer

Since all browsers behave differently, you'll need to test for values first, and then use the correct one. Here's a function that does this for you:

function getWidth() {
  if (self.innerWidth) {
    return self.innerWidth;
  }

  if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth) {
    return document.documentElement.clientWidth;
  }

  if (document.body) {
    return document.body.clientWidth;
  }
}

and similarly for height:

function getHeight() {
  if (self.innerHeight) {
    return self.innerHeight;
  }

  if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
    return document.documentElement.clientHeight;
  }

  if (document.body) {
    return document.body.clientHeight;
  }
}

Call both of these in your scripts using getWidth() or getHeight(). If none of the browser's native properties are defined, it will return undefined.

Counting repeated characters in a string in Python

If someone is looking for the simplest way without collections module. I guess this will be helpful:

>>> s = "asldaksldkalskdla"
>>> {i:s.count(i) for i in set(s)}
{'a': 4, 'd': 3, 'k': 3, 's': 3, 'l': 4}

or

>>> [(i,s.count(i)) for i in set(s)]
[('a', 4), ('k', 3), ('s', 3), ('l', 4), ('d', 3)]

Decoding base64 in batch

Here's a batch file, called base64encode.bat, that encodes base64.

@echo off
if not "%1" == "" goto :arg1exists
echo usage: base64encode input-file [output-file]
goto :eof
:arg1exists
set base64out=%2
if "%base64out%" == "" set base64out=con 
(
  set base64tmp=base64.tmp
  certutil -encode "%1" %base64tmp% > nul
  findstr /v /c:- %base64tmp%
  erase %base64tmp%
) > %base64out%

Returning a stream from File.OpenRead()

You need

    str.CopyTo(data);
    data.Position = 0; // reset to beginning
    byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
    data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);  

And since your Test() method is imitating the client it ought to Close() or Dispose() the str Stream. And the memoryStream too, just out of principal.

JavaScript Infinitely Looping slideshow with delays?

Here's a nice, tidy solution for you: (also see the live demo ->)

window.onload = function start() {
    slide();
}

function slide() {
    var currMarg = 0,
        contStyle = document.getElementById('container').style;
    setInterval(function() {
        currMarg = currMarg == 1800 ? 0 : currMarg + 600;
        contStyle.marginLeft = '-' + currMarg + 'px';
    }, 3000);
}

Since you are trying to learn, allow me to explain how this works.

First we declare two variables: currMarg and contStyle. currMarg is an integer that we will use to track/update what left margin the container should have. We declare it outside the actual update function (in a closure), so that it can be continuously updated/access without losing its value. contStyle is simply a convenience variable that gives us access to the containers styles without having to locate the element on each interval.

Next, we will use setInterval to establish a function which should be called every 3 seconds, until we tell it to stop (there's your infinite loop, without freezing the browser). It works exactly like setTimeout, except it happens infinitely until cancelled, instead of just happening once.

We pass an anonymous function to setInterval, which will do our work for us. The first line is:

currMarg = currMarg == 1800 ? 0 : currMarg + 600;

This is a ternary operator. It will assign currMarg the value of 0 if currMarg is equal to 1800, otherwise it will increment currMarg by 600.

With the second line, we simply assign our chosen value to containers marginLeft, and we're done!

Note: For the demo, I changed the negative values to positive, so the effect would be visible.

Test class with a new() call in it with Mockito

I happened to be in a particular situation where my usecase resembled the one of Mureinik but I ended-up using the solution of Tomasz Nurkiewicz.

Here is how:

class TestedClass extends AARRGGHH {
    public LoginContext login(String user, String password) {
        LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("login", callbackHandler);
        lc.doThis();
        lc.doThat();
        return lc;
    }
}

Now, PowerMockRunner failed to initialize TestedClass because it extends AARRGGHH, which in turn does more contextual initialization... You see where this path was leading me: I would have needed to mock on several layers. Clearly a HUGE smell.

I found a nice hack with minimal refactoring of TestedClass: I created a small method

LoginContext initLoginContext(String login, CallbackHandler callbackHandler) {
    new lc = new LoginContext(login, callbackHandler);
}

The scope of this method is necessarily package.

Then your test stub will look like:

LoginContext lcMock = mock(LoginContext.class)
TestedClass testClass = spy(new TestedClass(withAllNeededArgs))
doReturn(lcMock)
    .when(testClass)
    .initLoginContext("login", callbackHandler)

and the trick is done...

Setting up Vim for Python

Under Linux, What worked for me was John Anderson's (sontek) guide, which you can find at this link. However, I cheated and just used his easy configuration setup from his Git repostiory:

git clone -b vim https://github.com/sontek/dotfiles.git

cd dotfiles

./install.sh vim

His configuration is fairly up to date as of today.

How to send value attribute from radio button in PHP

Radio buttons have another attribute - checked or unchecked. You need to set which button was selected by the user, so you have to write PHP code inside the HTML with these values - checked or unchecked. Here's one way to do it:

The PHP code:

<?PHP
    $male_status = 'unchecked';
    $female_status = 'unchecked';

    if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {
         $selected_radio = $_POST['gender'];

         if ($selected_radio == 'male') {
                $male_status = 'checked';
          }else if ($selected_radio == 'female') {
                $female_status = 'checked';
          }
    }
?>

The HTML FORM code:

<FORM name ="form1" method ="post" action ="radioButton.php">
   <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='gender' value= 'male'
   <?PHP print $male_status; ?>
   >Male
   <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='gender' value= 'female' 
   <?PHP print $female_status; ?>
   >Female
   <P>
   <Input type = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Select a Radio Button">
</FORM>

adding x and y axis labels in ggplot2

[Note: edited to modernize ggplot syntax]

Your example is not reproducible since there is no ex1221new (there is an ex1221 in Sleuth2, so I guess that is what you meant). Also, you don't need (and shouldn't) pull columns out to send to ggplot. One advantage is that ggplot works with data.frames directly.

You can set the labels with xlab() and ylab(), or make it part of the scale_*.* call.

library("Sleuth2")
library("ggplot2")
ggplot(ex1221, aes(Discharge, Area)) +
  geom_point(aes(size=NO3)) + 
  scale_size_area() + 
  xlab("My x label") +
  ylab("My y label") +
  ggtitle("Weighted Scatterplot of Watershed Area vs. Discharge and Nitrogen Levels (PPM)")

enter image description here

ggplot(ex1221, aes(Discharge, Area)) +
  geom_point(aes(size=NO3)) + 
  scale_size_area("Nitrogen") + 
  scale_x_continuous("My x label") +
  scale_y_continuous("My y label") +
  ggtitle("Weighted Scatterplot of Watershed Area vs. Discharge and Nitrogen Levels (PPM)")

enter image description here

An alternate way to specify just labels (handy if you are not changing any other aspects of the scales) is using the labs function

ggplot(ex1221, aes(Discharge, Area)) +
  geom_point(aes(size=NO3)) + 
  scale_size_area() + 
  labs(size= "Nitrogen",
       x = "My x label",
       y = "My y label",
       title = "Weighted Scatterplot of Watershed Area vs. Discharge and Nitrogen Levels (PPM)")

which gives an identical figure to the one above.

Byte Array to Hex String

If you have a numpy array, you can do the following:

>>> a = np.array([133, 53, 234, 241])
>>> a.astype(np.uint8).data.hex()
'8535eaf1'

Android - Handle "Enter" in an EditText

I know this is a year old, but I just discovered this works perfectly for an EditText.

EditText textin = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
textin.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

It prevents anything but text and space. I could not tab, "return" ("\n"), or anything.

Pure JavaScript equivalent of jQuery's $.ready() - how to call a function when the page/DOM is ready for it

The good folks at HubSpot have a resource where you can find pure Javascript methodologies for achieving a lot of jQuery goodness - including ready

http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/#ready

function ready(fn) {
  if (document.readyState != 'loading'){
    fn();
  } else if (document.addEventListener) {
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', fn);
  } else {
    document.attachEvent('onreadystatechange', function() {
      if (document.readyState != 'loading')
        fn();
    });
  }
}

example inline usage:

ready(function() { alert('hello'); });

Is there a way for non-root processes to bind to "privileged" ports on Linux?

Since the OP is just development/testing, less than sleek solutions may be helpful:

setcap can be used on a script's interpreter to grant capabilities to scripts. If setcaps on the global interpreter binary is not acceptable, make a local copy of the binary (any user can) and get root to setcap on this copy. Python2 (at least) works properly with a local copy of the interpreter in your script development tree. No suid is needed so the root user can control to what capabilities users have access.

If you need to track system-wide updates to the interpreter, use a shell script like the following to run your script:

#!/bin/sh
#
#  Watch for updates to the Python2 interpreter

PRG=python_net_raw
PRG_ORIG=/usr/bin/python2.7

cmp $PRG_ORIG $PRG || {
    echo ""
    echo "***** $PRG_ORIG has been updated *****"
    echo "Run the following commands to refresh $PRG:"

No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient'

You don't need to install Entity Framework in your Console application, you just need to add a reference to the assembly EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll. You can copy this assembly from the Class Library project that uses Entity Framework to a LIB folder and add a reference to it.

In summary:

  • Class Library application:
    • Install Entity Framework
    • Write your data layer code
    • app.config file has all the configuration related to Entity Framework except for the connection string.
  • Create a Console, web or desktop application:
    • Add a reference to the first project.
    • Add a reference to EntityFramework.SqlServer.dll.
    • app.config/web.config has the connection string (remember that the name of the configuration entry has to be the same as the name of the DbContext class.

I hope it helps.
