Visual Studio 2017 errors on standard headers

If the problem is not solved by above answer, check whether the Windows SDK version is 10.0.15063.0.

Project -> Properties -> General -> Windows SDK Version -> select 10.0.15063.0

After this rebuild the solution.  

Why does C++ code for testing the Collatz conjecture run faster than hand-written assembly?

Even without looking at assembly, the most obvious reason is that /= 2 is probably optimized as >>=1 and many processors have a very quick shift operation. But even if a processor doesn't have a shift operation, the integer division is faster than floating point division.

Edit: your milage may vary on the "integer division is faster than floating point division" statement above. The comments below reveal that the modern processors have prioritized optimizing fp division over integer division. So if someone were looking for the most likely reason for the speedup which this thread's question asks about, then compiler optimizing /=2 as >>=1 would be the best 1st place to look.


On an unrelated note, if n is odd, the expression n*3+1 will always be even. So there is no need to check. You can change that branch to

{
   n = (n*3+1) >> 1;
   count += 2;
}

So the whole statement would then be

if (n & 1)
{
    n = (n*3 + 1) >> 1;
    count += 2;
}
else
{
    n >>= 1;
    ++count;
}

How to convert image into byte array and byte array to base64 String in android?

Try this simple solution to convert file to base64 string

String base64String = imageFileToByte(file);

public String imageFileToByte(File file){

    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos); //bm is the bitmap object
    byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
    return Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
}

Eclipse cannot load SWT libraries

Simply specify the path to the libraries:

echo "-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/" >> /etc/eclipse.ini

How to convert char* to wchar_t*?

In your example, wc is a local variable which will be deallocated when the function call ends. This puts you into undefined behavior territory.

The simple fix is this:

const wchar_t *GetWC(const char *c)
{
    const size_t cSize = strlen(c)+1;
    wchar_t* wc = new wchar_t[cSize];
    mbstowcs (wc, c, cSize);

    return wc;
}

Note that the calling code will then have to deallocate this memory, otherwise you will have a memory leak.

BSTR to std::string (std::wstring) and vice versa

Simply pass the BSTR directly to the wstring constructor, it is compatible with a wchar_t*:

BSTR btest = SysAllocString(L"Test");
assert(btest != NULL);
std::wstring wtest(btest);
assert(0 == wcscmp(wtest.c_str(), btest));

Converting BSTR to std::string requires a conversion to char* first. That's lossy since BSTR stores a utf-16 encoded Unicode string. Unless you want to encode in utf-8. You'll find helper methods to do this, as well as manipulate the resulting string, in the ICU library.

Enable remote MySQL connection: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user

You have to put this as root:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USERNAME'@'IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' with grant option;

;

where IP is the IP you want to allow access, USERNAME is the user you use to connect, and PASSWORD is the relevant password.

If you want to allow access from any IP just put % instead of your IP

and then you only have to put

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Or restart mysql server and that's it.

Using boolean values in C

Anything nonzero is evaluated to true in boolean operations, so you could just

#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0

and use the constants.

SQL Server replace, remove all after certain character

Could use CASE WHEN to leave those with no ';' alone.

    SELECT
    CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(';', MyText) > 0 THEN
    LEFT(MyText, CHARINDEX(';', MyText)-1) ELSE
    MyText END
    FROM MyTable

Returning a boolean from a Bash function

Use the true or false commands immediately before your return, then return with no parameters. The return will automatically use the value of your last command.

Providing arguments to return is inconsistent, type specific and prone to error if you are not using 1 or 0. And as previous comments have stated, using 1 or 0 here is not the right way to approach this function.

#!/bin/bash

function test_for_cat {
    if [ $1 = "cat" ];
    then
        true
        return
    else
        false
        return
    fi
}

for i in cat hat;
do
    echo "${i}:"
    if test_for_cat "${i}";
    then
        echo "- True"
    else
        echo "- False"
    fi
done

Output:

$ bash bash_return.sh

cat:
- True
hat:
- False

Looping each row in datagridview

Best aproach for me was:

  private void grid_receptie_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        int X = 1;
        foreach(DataGridViewRow row in grid_receptie.Rows)
        {
            row.Cells["NR_CRT"].Value = X;
            X++;
        }
    }

How to check if a double value has no decimal part

You probably want to round the double to 5 decimals or so before comparing since a double can contain very small decimal parts if you have done some calculations with it.

double d = 10.0;
d /= 3.0; // d should be something like 3.3333333333333333333333...
d *= 3.0; // d is probably something like 9.9999999999999999999999...

// d should be 10.0 again but it is not, so you have to use rounding before comparing

d = myRound(d, 5); // d is something like 10.00000
if (fmod(d, 1.0) == 0)
  // No decimals
else
  // Decimals

If you are using C++ i don't think there is a round-function, so you have to implement it yourself like in: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/4011/

How to use radio buttons in ReactJS?

Just an idea here: when it comes to radio inputs in React, I usually render all of them in a different way that was mentionned in the previous answers.

If this could help anyone who needs to render plenty of radio buttons:

_x000D_

Function is not defined - uncaught referenceerror

Thought I would mention this because it took a while for me to fix this issue and I couldn't find the answer anywhere on SO. The code I was working on worked for a co-worker but not for me (I was getting this same error). It worked for me in Chrome, but not in Edge.

I was able to get it working by clearing the cache in Edge.

This may not be the answer to this specific question, but I thought I would mention it in case it saves someone else a little time.

What's the key difference between HTML 4 and HTML 5?

In short it is much simple compared to html, the long doctype is removed and also center and font tag is removed. I also answered this difference in my blog : http://ravisinghblog.in/key-difference-between-html-and-html-5/

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ERROR

This typically occurs when there is unintended output from the script before you start the session. With your current code, you could try to use output buffering to solve it.

try adding a call to the ob_start(); function at the very top of your script and ob_end_flush(); at the very end of the document.

How to use GROUP BY to concatenate strings in SQL Server?

using XML path will not perfectly concatenate as you might expect... it will replace "&" with "&amp;" and will also mess with <" and "> ...maybe a few other things, not sure...but you can try this

I came across a workaround for this... you need to replace:

FOR XML PATH('')
)

with:

FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
).value('(./text())[1]','VARCHAR(MAX)')

...or NVARCHAR(MAX) if thats what youre using.

why the hell doesn't SQL have a concatenate aggregate function? this is a PITA.

How to convert image into byte array and byte array to base64 String in android?

here is another solution...

System.IO.Stream st = new System.IO.StreamReader (picturePath).BaseStream;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

System.IO.MemoryStream m = new System.IO.MemoryStream ();
while (st.Read (buffer,0,buffer.Length) > 0) {
    m.Write (buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}  
imgView.Tag = m.ToArray ();
st.Close ();
m.Close ();

hope it helps!

how to remove untracked files in Git?

You may also return to the previous state of the local repo in another way:

  1. Add the untracked files to the staging area with git add.
  2. return to the previous state of the local repo with git reset --hard.

Open Url in default web browser

A simpler way which eliminates checking if the app can open the url.

  loadInBrowser = () => {
    Linking.openURL(this.state.url).catch(err => console.error("Couldn't load page", err));
  };

Calling it with a button.

<Button title="Open in Browser" onPress={this.loadInBrowser} />

Use your DB name in place of postgres in above statement.

How to prevent form resubmission when page is refreshed (F5 / CTRL+R)

You should really use a Post Redirect Get pattern for handling this but if you've somehow ended up in a position where PRG isn't viable (e.g. the form itself is in an include, preventing redirects) you can hash some of the request parameters to make a string based on the content and then check that you haven't sent it already.

//create digest of the form submission:

    $messageIdent = md5($_POST['name'] . $_POST['email'] . $_POST['phone'] . $_POST['comment']);

//and check it against the stored value:

    $sessionMessageIdent = isset($_SESSION['messageIdent'])?$_SESSION['messageIdent']:'';

    if($messageIdent!=$sessionMessageIdent){//if its different:          
        //save the session var:
            $_SESSION['messageIdent'] = $messageIdent;
        //and...
            do_your_thang();
    } else {
        //you've sent this already!
    }

Single controller with multiple GET methods in ASP.NET Web API

Simple Alternative

Just use a query string.

Routing

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);

Controller

public class TestController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<SomeViewModel> Get()
    {
    }

    public SomeViewModel GetById(int objectId)
    {
    }
}

Requests

GET /Test
GET /Test?objectId=1

Note

Keep in mind that the query string param should not be "id" or whatever the parameter is in the configured route.

Outline effect to text

There is an experimental webkit property called text-stroke in CSS3, I've been trying to get this to work for some time but have been unsuccessful so far.

What I have done instead is used the already supported text-shadow property (supported in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and IE 9 I believe).

Use four shadows to simulate a stroked text:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.strokeme {_x000D_
  color: white;_x000D_
  text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #000, 1px -1px 0 #000, -1px 1px 0 #000, 1px 1px 0 #000;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="strokeme">_x000D_
  This text should have a stroke in some browsers_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

I have made a demo for you here

And a hovered example is available here


As Jason C has mentioned in the comments, the text-shadow CSS property is now supported by all major browsers, with the exception of Opera Mini. Where this solution will work for backwards compatibility (not really an issue regarding browsers that auto-update) I believe the text-stroke CSS should be used.

Pressing Ctrl + A in Selenium WebDriver

To click Ctrl+A, you can do it with Actions

  Actions action = new Actions(); 
  action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(String.valueOf('\u0061')).perform();

\u0061 represents the character 'a'

\u0041 represents the character 'A'

To press other characters refer the unicode character table - http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf

Accessing value inside nested dictionaries

You can use the get() on each dict. Make sure that you have added the None check for each access.

Searching for file in directories recursively

I tried some of the other solutions listed here, but during unit testing the code would throw exceptions I wanted to ignore. I ended up creating the following recursive search method that will ignore certain exceptions like PathTooLongException and UnauthorizedAccessException.

    private IEnumerable<string> RecursiveFileSearch(string path, string pattern, ICollection<string> filePathCollector = null)
    {
        try
        {
            filePathCollector = filePathCollector ?? new LinkedList<string>();

            var matchingFilePaths = Directory.GetFiles(path, pattern);

            foreach(var matchingFile in matchingFilePaths)
            {
                filePathCollector.Add(matchingFile);
            }

            var subDirectories = Directory.EnumerateDirectories(path);

            foreach (var subDirectory in subDirectories)
            {
                RecursiveFileSearch(subDirectory, pattern, filePathCollector);
            }

            return filePathCollector;
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            bool isIgnorableError = error is PathTooLongException ||
                error is UnauthorizedAccessException;

            if (isIgnorableError)
            {
                return Enumerable.Empty<string>();
            }

            throw error;
        }
    }

How can I tell Moq to return a Task?

Now you can also use Talentsoft.Moq.SetupAsync package https://github.com/TalentSoft/Moq.SetupAsync

Which on the base on the answers found here and ideas proposed to Moq but still not yet implemented here: https://github.com/moq/moq4/issues/384, greatly simplify setup of async methods

Few examples found in previous responses done with SetupAsync extension:

mock.SetupAsync(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync());
mock.SetupAsync(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync()).Callback(() => { <my code here> });
mock.SetupAsync(arg=>arg.DoSomethingAsync()).Throws(new InvalidOperationException());

Meaning of Open hashing and Closed hashing

The use of "closed" vs. "open" reflects whether or not we are locked in to using a certain position or data structure (this is an extremely vague description, but hopefully the rest helps).

For instance, the "open" in "open addressing" tells us the index (aka. address) at which an object will be stored in the hash table is not completely determined by its hash code. Instead, the index may vary depending on what's already in the hash table.

The "closed" in "closed hashing" refers to the fact that we never leave the hash table; every object is stored directly at an index in the hash table's internal array. Note that this is only possible by using some sort of open addressing strategy. This explains why "closed hashing" and "open addressing" are synonyms.

Contrast this with open hashing - in this strategy, none of the objects are actually stored in the hash table's array; instead once an object is hashed, it is stored in a list which is separate from the hash table's internal array. "open" refers to the freedom we get by leaving the hash table, and using a separate list. By the way, "separate list" hints at why open hashing is also known as "separate chaining".

In short, "closed" always refers to some sort of strict guarantee, like when we guarantee that objects are always stored directly within the hash table (closed hashing). Then, the opposite of "closed" is "open", so if you don't have such guarantees, the strategy is considered "open".

Making an API call in Python with an API that requires a bearer token

It just means it expects that as a key in your header data

import requests

print(requests.post(endpoint, data=data, headers=headers).json())

Random state (Pseudo-random number) in Scikit learn

If you don't specify the random_state in your code, then every time you run(execute) your code a new random value is generated and the train and test datasets would have different values each time.

However, if a fixed value is assigned like random_state = 42 then no matter how many times you execute your code the result would be the same .i.e, same values in train and test datasets.

System.Collections.Generic.List does not contain a definition for 'Select'

This question's bit old, but, there's a tricky scenario which also leads to this error:

In controller:

ViewBag.id = //id from querystring
List<string> = GrabDataFromDBByID(ViewBag.id).Select(a=>a.ToString());

The above code will lead to an error in this part: .Select(a=>a.ToString()) because of the below reason: You're passing a ViewBag.id to a method which in compiler, it doesn't know the type, so there might be several methods with the same name and different parameters let's say:

GrabDataFromDBByID(string)
GrabDataFromDBByID(int)
GrabDataFromDBByID(whateverType)

So to prevent this case, either explicitly cast the ViewBag or create another variable storing it.

How to show form input fields based on select value?

Trying to pull files from my Github repository: "refusing to merge unrelated histories"

If there is not substantial history on one end (aka if it is just a single readme commit on the github end), I often find it easier to manually copy the readme to my local repo and do a git push -f to make my version the new root commit.

I find it is slightly less complicated, doesn't require remembering an obscure flag, and keeps the history a bit cleaner.

! [rejected] master -> master (fetch first)

The answer is there, git is telling you to fetch first.

Probably somebody else has pushed to master already, and your commit is behind. Therefore you have to fetch, merge the changeset, and then you'll be able to push again.

If you don't (or even worse, if you force it by using the --force option), you can mess up the commit history.

EDIT: I get into more detail about the last point, since a guy here just gave the Very Bad Advice of using the --force option.

As git is a DVCS, ideally many other developers are working on the same project as you, using the same repository (or a fork of it). If you overwrite forcefully with your changeset, your repository will mismatch other people's, because "you rewrote history". You will make other people unhappy and the repository will suffer. Probably a kitten in the world will cry, too.

TL;DR

  1. If you want to solve, fetch first (and then merge).
  2. If you want to hack, use the --force option.

You asked for the former, though. Go for 1) always, even if you will always use git by yourself, because it is a good practice.

Swift Bridging Header import issue

for others who have troubles to add swift class into objective-c project. this is what work for me :

  1. create NEW swift file. this will make xcode to prompt if you want xcode to create all settings for mix swift-objective-c project including brigde-header.h for you. press yes.
  2. now, add your existing swift files you want to use in your project.
  3. in the implementation file you are going to use the swift class add : #import "YOURPROJECTNAME-swift.h" . this file xcode create for you. if your xcode project is myProject then "myProject-swift.h"

and that's it. now create the swift class in your code like it was objective-c.

How can I get the intersection, union, and subset of arrays in Ruby?

Utilizing the fact that you can do set operations on arrays by doing &(intersection), -(difference), and |(union).

Obviously I didn't implement the MultiSet to spec, but this should get you started:

class MultiSet
  attr_accessor :set
  def initialize(set)
    @set = set
  end
  # intersection
  def &(other)
    @set & other.set
  end
  # difference
  def -(other)
    @set - other.set
  end
  # union
  def |(other)
    @set | other.set
  end
end

x = MultiSet.new([1,1,2,2,3,4,5,6])
y = MultiSet.new([1,3,5,6])

jQuery datepicker to prevent past date

$("#datePicker").datePicker({startDate: new Date() });. This works for me

Is there a replacement for unistd.h for Windows (Visual C)?

MinGW 4.x has unistd.h in \MinGW\include, \MinGW\include\sys and \MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.6.2\include\ssp

Here is the code for the MinGW version, by Rob Savoye; modified by Earnie Boyd, Danny Smith, Ramiro Polla, Gregory McGarry and Keith Marshall:

HTML5 Canvas vs. SVG vs. div

For your purposes, I recommend using SVG, since you get DOM events, like mouse handling, including drag and drop, included, you don't have to implement your own redraw, and you don't have to keep track of the state of your objects. Use Canvas when you have to do bitmap image manipulation and use a regular div when you want to manipulate stuff created in HTML. As to performance, you'll find that modern browsers are now accelerating all three, but that canvas has received the most attention so far. On the other hand, how well you write your javascript is critical to getting the most performance with canvas, so I'd still recommend using SVG.

How to get IntPtr from byte[] in C#

Not sure about getting an IntPtr to an array, but you can copy the data for use with unmanaged code by using Mashal.Copy:

IntPtr unmanagedPointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(bytes.Length);
Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, unmanagedPointer, bytes.Length);
// Call unmanaged code
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(unmanagedPointer);

Alternatively you could declare a struct with one property and then use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but that would still require allocating unmanaged memory.

Edit: Also, as Tyalis pointed out, you can also use fixed if unsafe code is an option for you

Angularjs ng-model doesn't work inside ng-if

You can use ngHide (or ngShow) directive. It doesn't create child scope as ngIf does.

toggle show/hide div with button?

Pure JavaScript:

var button = document.getElementById('button'); // Assumes element with id='button'

button.onclick = function() {
    var div = document.getElementById('newpost');
    if (div.style.display !== 'none') {
        div.style.display = 'none';
    }
    else {
        div.style.display = 'block';
    }
};

SEE DEMO

jQuery:

$("#button").click(function() { 
    // assumes element with id='button'
    $("#newpost").toggle();
});

Line continue character in C#

String Constants

Just use the + operator and break the string up into human-readable lines. The compiler will pick up that the strings are constant and concatenate them at compile time. See the MSDN C# Programming Guide here.

e.g.

const string myVeryLongString = 
    "This is the opening paragraph of my long string. " +
    "Which is split over multiple lines to improve code readability, " +
    "but is in fact, just one long string.";

IL_0003: ldstr "This is the opening paragraph of my long string. Which is split over multiple lines to improve code readability, but is in fact, just one long string."

String Variables

Note that when using string interpolation to substitute values into your string, that the $ character needs to precede each line where a substitution needs to be made:

var interpolatedString = 
    "This line has no substitutions. " +
    $" This line uses {count} widgets, and " +
    $" {CountFoos()} foos were found.";

However, this has the negative performance consequence of multiple calls to string.Format and eventual concatenation of the strings (marked with ***)

IL_002E:  ldstr       "This line has no substitutions. "
IL_0033:  ldstr       " This line uses {0} widgets, and "
IL_0038:  ldloc.0     // count
IL_0039:  box         System.Int32
IL_003E:  call        System.String.Format ***
IL_0043:  ldstr       " {0} foos were found."
IL_0048:  ldloc.1     // CountFoos
IL_0049:  callvirt    System.Func<System.Int32>.Invoke
IL_004E:  box         System.Int32
IL_0053:  call        System.String.Format ***
IL_0058:  call        System.String.Concat ***

Although you could either use $@ to provide a single string and avoid the performance issues, unless the whitespace is placed inside {} (which looks odd, IMO), this has the same issue as Neil Knight's answer, as it will include any whitespace in the line breakdowns:

var interpolatedString = $@"When breaking up strings with `@` it introduces
    <- [newLine and whitespace here!] each time I break the string.
    <- [More whitespace] {CountFoos()} foos were found.";

The injected whitespace is easy to spot:

IL_002E:  ldstr       "When breaking up strings with `@` it introduces
    <- [newLine and whitespace here!] each time I break the string.
    <- [More whitespace] {0} foos were found."

An alternative is to revert to string.Format. Here, the formatting string is a single constant as per my initial answer:

const string longFormatString = 
    "This is the opening paragraph of my long string with {0} chars. " +
    "Which is split over multiple lines to improve code readability, " +
    "but is in fact, just one long string with {1} widgets.";

And then evaluated as such:

string.Format(longFormatString, longFormatString.Length, CountWidgets());

However this can still be tricky to maintain given the potential separation between the formatting string and the substitution tokens.

JWT authentication for ASP.NET Web API

I've managed to achieve it with minimal effort (just as simple as with ASP.NET Core).

For that I use OWIN Startup.cs file and Microsoft.Owin.Security.Jwt library.

In order for the app to hit Startup.cs we need to amend Web.config:

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value="true" />
    ...

Here's how Startup.cs should look:

using MyApp.Helpers;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Microsoft.Owin.Security;
using Microsoft.Owin.Security.Jwt;
using Owin;

[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(MyApp.App_Start.Startup))]

namespace MyApp.App_Start
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseJwtBearerAuthentication(
                new JwtBearerAuthenticationOptions
                {
                    AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationMode.Active,
                    TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters()
                    {
                        ValidAudience = ConfigHelper.GetAudience(),
                        ValidIssuer = ConfigHelper.GetIssuer(),
                        IssuerSigningKey = ConfigHelper.GetSymmetricSecurityKey(),
                        ValidateLifetime = true,
                        ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true
                    }
                });
        }
    }
}

Many of you guys use ASP.NET Core nowadays, so as you can see it doesn't differ a lot from what we have there.

It really got me perplexed first, I was trying to implement custom providers, etc. But I didn't expect it to be so simple. OWIN just rocks!

Just one thing to mention - after I enabled OWIN Startup NSWag library stopped working for me (e.g. some of you might want to auto-generate typescript HTTP proxies for Angular app).

The solution was also very simple - I replaced NSWag with Swashbuckle and didn't have any further issues.


Ok, now sharing ConfigHelper code:

public class ConfigHelper
{
    public static string GetIssuer()
    {
        string result = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Issuer"];
        return result;
    }

    public static string GetAudience()
    {
        string result = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Audience"];
        return result;
    }

    public static SigningCredentials GetSigningCredentials()
    {
        var result = new SigningCredentials(GetSymmetricSecurityKey(), SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);
        return result;
    }

    public static string GetSecurityKey()
    {
        string result = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SecurityKey"];
        return result;
    }

    public static byte[] GetSymmetricSecurityKeyAsBytes()
    {
        var issuerSigningKey = GetSecurityKey();
        byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(issuerSigningKey);
        return data;
    }

    public static SymmetricSecurityKey GetSymmetricSecurityKey()
    {
        byte[] data = GetSymmetricSecurityKeyAsBytes();
        var result = new SymmetricSecurityKey(data);
        return result;
    }

    public static string GetCorsOrigins()
    {
        string result = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CorsOrigins"];
        return result;
    }
}

Another important aspect - I sent JWT Token via Authorization header, so typescript code looks for me as follows:

(the code below is generated by NSWag)

@Injectable()
export class TeamsServiceProxy {
    private http: HttpClient;
    private baseUrl: string;
    protected jsonParseReviver: ((key: string, value: any) => any) | undefined = undefined;

    constructor(@Inject(HttpClient) http: HttpClient, @Optional() @Inject(API_BASE_URL) baseUrl?: string) {
        this.http = http;
        this.baseUrl = baseUrl ? baseUrl : "https://localhost:44384";
    }

    add(input: TeamDto | null): Observable<boolean> {
        let url_ = this.baseUrl + "/api/Teams/Add";
        url_ = url_.replace(/[?&]$/, "");

        const content_ = JSON.stringify(input);

        let options_ : any = {
            body: content_,
            observe: "response",
            responseType: "blob",
            headers: new HttpHeaders({
                "Content-Type": "application/json", 
                "Accept": "application/json",
                "Authorization": "Bearer " + localStorage.getItem('token')
            })
        };

See headers part - "Authorization": "Bearer " + localStorage.getItem('token')

SQL "IF", "BEGIN", "END", "END IF"?

The only time the second insert into @clases should fail to fire is if an error occurred in the first insert statement.

If that's the case, then you need to decide if the second statement should run prior to the first OR if you need a transaction in order to perform a rollback.

VSCode Change Default Terminal

If you want to select the type of console, you can write this in the file "keybinding.json" (this file can be found in the following path "File-> Preferences-> Keyboard Shortcuts") `

//with this you can select what type of console you want
{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+t",
    "command": "shellLauncher.launch"
},

//and this will help you quickly change console
{ 
    "key": "ctrl+shift+j", 
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusNext" 
},
{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+k", 
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusPrevious" 
}`

convert string to char*

First of all, you would have to allocate memory:

char * S = new char[R.length() + 1];

then you can use strcpy with S and R.c_str():

std::strcpy(S,R.c_str());

You can also use R.c_str() if the string doesn't get changed or the c string is only used once. However, if S is going to be modified, you should copy the string, as writing to R.c_str() results in undefined behavior.

Note: Instead of strcpy you can also use str::copy.

Git: How to commit a manually deleted file?

Use git add -A, this will include the deleted files.

Note: use git rm for certain files.

Using CookieContainer with WebClient class

I think there's cleaner way where you don't have to create a new webclient (and it'll work with 3rd party libraries as well)

internal static class MyWebRequestCreator
{
    private static IWebRequestCreate myCreator;

    public static IWebRequestCreate MyHttp
    {
        get
        {
            if (myCreator == null)
            {
                myCreator = new MyHttpRequestCreator();
            }
            return myCreator;
        }
    }

    private class MyHttpRequestCreator : IWebRequestCreate
    {
        public WebRequest Create(Uri uri)
        {
            var req = System.Net.WebRequest.CreateHttp(uri);
            req.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
            return req;
        }
    }
}

Now all you have to do is opt in for which domains you want to use this:

    WebRequest.RegisterPrefix("http://example.com/", MyWebRequestCreator.MyHttp);

That means ANY webrequest that goes to example.com will now use your custom webrequest creator, including the standard webclient. This approach means you don't have to touch all you code. You just call the register prefix once and be done with it. You can also register for "http" prefix to opt in for everything everywhere.

Defining a HTML template to append using JQuery

In order to solve this problem, I recognize two solutions:

  • The first one goes with AJAX, with which you'll have to load the template from another file and just add everytime you want with .clone().

    $.get('url/to/template', function(data) {
        temp = data
        $('.search').keyup(function() {
            $('.list-items').html(null);
    
            $.each(items, function(index) {
                 $(this).append(temp.clone())
            });
    
        });
    });
    

    Take into account that the event should be added once the ajax has completed to be sure the data is available!

  • The second one would be to directly add it anywhere in the original html, select it and hide it in jQuery:

    temp = $('.list_group_item').hide()
    

    You can after add a new instance of the template with

    $('.search').keyup(function() {
        $('.list-items').html(null);
    
        $.each(items, function(index) {
            $(this).append(temp.clone())
        });
    });
    
  • Same as the previous one, but if you don't want the template to remain there, but just in the javascript, I think you can use (have not tested it!) .detach() instead of hide.

    temp = $('.list_group_item').detach()
    

    .detach() removes elements from the DOM while keeping the data and events alive (.remove() does not!).

Concatenating string and integer in python

String formatting, using the new-style .format() method (with the defaults .format() provides):

 '{}{}'.format(s, i)

Or the older, but "still sticking around", %-formatting:

 '%s%d' %(s, i)

In both examples above there's no space between the two items concatenated. If space is needed, it can simply be added in the format strings.

These provide a lot of control and flexibility about how to concatenate items, the space between them etc. For details about format specifications see this.

How to share my Docker-Image without using the Docker-Hub?

Based on this blog, one could share a docker image without a docker registry by executing:

docker save --output latestversion-1.0.0.tar dockerregistry/latestversion:1.0.0

Once this command has been completed, one could copy the image to a server and import it as follows:

docker load --input latestversion-1.0.0.tar

Angular 4/5/6 Global Variables

I use environment for that. It works automatically and you don't have to create new injectable service and most usefull for me, don't need to import via constructor.

1) Create environment variable in your environment.ts

export const environment = {
    ...
    // runtime variables
    isContentLoading: false,
    isDeployNeeded: false
}

2) Import environment.ts in *.ts file and create public variable (i.e. "env") to be able to use in html template

import { environment } from 'environments/environment';

@Component(...)
export class TestComponent {
    ...
    env = environment;
}

3) Use it in template...

<app-spinner *ngIf='env.isContentLoading'></app-spinner>

in *.ts ...

env.isContentLoading = false 

(or just environment.isContentLoading in case you don't need it for template)


You can create your own set of globals within environment.ts like so:

export const globals = {
    isContentLoading: false,
    isDeployNeeded: false
}

and import directly these variables (y)

Checking letter case (Upper/Lower) within a string in Java

I have streamlined the answer of @Quirliom above into functions that can be used:

private static boolean hasLength(CharSequence data) {
    if (String.valueOf(data).length() >= 8) return true;
    else return false;
}

private static boolean hasSymbol(CharSequence data) {
    String password = String.valueOf(data);
    boolean hasSpecial = !password.matches("[A-Za-z0-9 ]*");
    return hasSpecial;
}

private static boolean hasUpperCase(CharSequence data) {
    String password = String.valueOf(data);
    boolean hasUppercase = !password.equals(password.toLowerCase());
    return hasUppercase;
}

private static boolean hasLowerCase(CharSequence data) {
    String password = String.valueOf(data);
    boolean hasLowercase = !password.equals(password.toUpperCase());
    return hasLowercase;
}

Correct use of flush() in JPA/Hibernate

Actually, em.flush(), do more than just sends the cached SQL commands. It tries to synchronize the persistence context to the underlying database. It can cause a lot of time consumption on your processes if your cache contains collections to be synchronized.

Caution on using it.

Start/Stop and Restart Jenkins service on Windows

To stop Jenkins Please avoid shutting down the Java process or the Windows service. These are not usual commands. Use those only if your Jenkins is causing problems.

Use Jenkins' way to stop that protects from data loss.

http://[jenkins-server]/[command]

where [command] can be any one of the following

  • exit
  • restart
  • reload

Example: if my local PC is running Jenkins at port 8080, it will be

http://localhost:8080/exit

Invalid use side-effecting operator Insert within a function

Disclaimer: This is not a solution, it is more of a hack to test out something. User-defined functions cannot be used to perform actions that modify the database state.

I found one way to make insert or update using sqlcmd.exe so you need just to replace the code inside @sql variable.

File Upload ASP.NET MVC 3.0

In Controller

 if (MyModal.ImageFile != null)
                    {
                        MyModal.ImageURL = string.Format("{0}.{1}", Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), MyModal.ImageFile.FileName.Split('.').LastOrDefault());
                        if (MyModal.ImageFile != null)

                            var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/uploads/"), MyModal.ImageURL);
                            MyModal.ImageFile.SaveAs(path);
                        }

Create a folder as uploads in Content folder in project

Check key exist in python dict

Use the in keyword.

if 'apples' in d:
    if d['apples'] == 20:
        print('20 apples')
    else:
        print('Not 20 apples')

If you want to get the value only if the key exists (and avoid an exception trying to get it if it doesn't), then you can use the get function from a dictionary, passing an optional default value as the second argument (if you don't pass it it returns None instead):

if d.get('apples', 0) == 20:
    print('20 apples.')
else:
    print('Not 20 apples.')

Get a resource using getResource()

TestGameTable.class.getResource("/unibo/lsb/res/dice.jpg");
  • leading slash to denote the root of the classpath
  • slashes instead of dots in the path
  • you can call getResource() directly on the class.

Use success() or complete() in AJAX call

Well, speaking from quarantine, the complete() in $.ajax is like finally in try catch block.

If you use try catch block in any programming language, it doesn't matter whether you execute a thing successfully or got an error in execution. the finally{} block will always be executed.

Same goes for complete() in $.ajax, whether you get success() response or error() the complete() function always will be called once the execution has been done.

How to reference image resources in XAML?

If you've got an image in the Icons folder of your project and its build action is "Resource", you can refer to it like this:

<Image Source="/Icons/play_small.png" />

That's the simplest way to do it. This is the only way I could figure doing it purely from the resource standpoint and no project files:

var resourceManager = new ResourceManager(typeof (Resources));
var bitmap = resourceManager.GetObject("Search") as System.Drawing.Bitmap;

var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
bitmap.Save(memoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
memoryStream.Position = 0;

var bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
bitmapImage.BeginInit();
bitmapImage.StreamSource = memoryStream;
bitmapImage.EndInit();

this.image1.Source = bitmapImage;

Detect if HTML5 Video element is playing

Here is what we are using at http://www.develop.com/webcasts to keep people from accidentally leaving the page while a video is playing or paused.

$(document).ready(function() {

    var video = $("video#webcast_video");
    if (video.length <= 0) {
        return;
    }

    window.onbeforeunload = function () {
        var htmlVideo = video[0];
        if (htmlVideo.currentTime < 0.01 || htmlVideo.ended) {
            return null;
        }

        return "Leaving this page will stop your video.";
    };
}

event.preventDefault() vs. return false

I think the best way to do this is to use event.preventDefault() because if some exception is raised in the handler, then the return false statement will be skipped and the behavior will be opposite to what you want.

But if you are sure that the code won't trigger any exceptions, then you can go with any of the method you wish.

If you still want to go with the return false, then you can put your entire handler code in a try catch block like below:

$('a').click(function (e) {
  try{
      your code here.........
  }
   catch(e){}
  return false;
});

How can I programmatically freeze the top row of an Excel worksheet in Excel 2007 VBA?

Rows("2:2").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

This is the easiest way to freeze the top row. The rule for FreezePanes is it will freeze the upper left corner from the cell you selected. For example, if you highlight C10, it will freeze between columns B and C, rows 9 and 10. So when you highlight Row 2, it actually freeze between Rows 1 and 2 which is the top row.

Also, the .SplitColumn or .SplitRow will split your window once you unfreeze it which is not the way I like.

Test credit card numbers for use with PayPal sandbox

If a credit card is already added to a PayPal account then it won't let you use that card to process directly with Payments Advanced. The system expects buyers to login to PayPal and just choose that credit card as their funding source if they want to pay with it.

As for testing on the sandbox, I've always used old, expired credit cards I have laying around and they seem to work fine for me.

You could always try the ones starting on page 87 of the PayFlow documentation, too. They should work.

Setting HTTP headers

All of the above answers are wrong because they fail to handle the OPTIONS preflight request, the solution is to override the mux router's interface. See AngularJS $http get request failed with custom header (alllowed in CORS)

func main() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/save", saveHandler)
    http.Handle("/", &MyServer{r})
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil);

}

type MyServer struct {
    r *mux.Router

Alter column, add default constraint

You're specifying the table name twice. The ALTER TABLE part names the table. Try: Alter table TableName alter column [Date] default getutcdate()

Django: multiple models in one template using forms

"I want to hide some of the fields and do some complex validation."

I start with the built-in admin interface.

  1. Build the ModelForm to show the desired fields.

  2. Extend the Form with the validation rules within the form. Usually this is a clean method.

    Be sure this part works reasonably well.

Once this is done, you can move away from the built-in admin interface.

Then you can fool around with multiple, partially related forms on a single web page. This is a bunch of template stuff to present all the forms on a single page.

Then you have to write the view function to read and validated the various form things and do the various object saves().

"Is it a design issue if I break down and hand-code everything?" No, it's just a lot of time for not much benefit.

What is FCM token in Firebase?

What is it exactly?

An FCM Token, or much commonly known as a registrationToken like in . As described in the GCM FCM docs:

An ID issued by the GCM connection servers to the client app that allows it to receive messages. Note that registration tokens must be kept secret.


How can I get that token?

Update: The token can still be retrieved by calling getToken(), however, as per FCM's latest version, the FirebaseInstanceIdService.onTokenRefresh() has been replaced with FirebaseMessagingService.onNewToken() -- which in my experience functions the same way as onTokenRefresh() did.


Old answer:

As per the FCM docs:

On initial startup of your app, the FCM SDK generates a registration token for the client app instance. If you want to target single devices or create device groups, you'll need to access this token.

You can access the token's value by extending FirebaseInstanceIdService. Make sure you have added the service to your manifest, then call getToken in the context of onTokenRefresh, and log the value as shown:

@Override
public void onTokenRefresh() {
    // Get updated InstanceID token.
    String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
    Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken);

    // TODO: Implement this method to send any registration to your app's servers.
    sendRegistrationToServer(refreshedToken);
}

The onTokenRefreshcallback fires whenever a new token is generated, so calling getToken in its context ensures that you are accessing a current, available registration token. FirebaseInstanceID.getToken() returns null if the token has not yet been generated.

After you've obtained the token, you can send it to your app server and store it using your preferred method. See the Instance ID API reference for full detail on the API.

How to detect if numpy is installed

Option 1:

Use following command in python ide.:

import numpy

Option 2:

Go to Python -> site-packages folder. There you should be able to find numpy and the numpy distribution info folder.

If any of the above is true then you installed numpy successfully.

Android Image View Pinch Zooming

I made my own custom imageview with pinch to zoom. There is no limits/borders on Chirag Ravals code, so user can drag the image off the screen. This will fix it.

Here is the CustomImageView class:

    public class CustomImageVIew extends ImageView implements OnTouchListener {


    private Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    private Matrix savedMatrix = new Matrix();

    static final int NONE = 0;
    static final int DRAG = 1;

Oracle - How to create a materialized view with FAST REFRESH and JOINS

The key checks for FAST REFRESH includes the following:

1) An Oracle materialized view log must be present for each base table.
2) The RowIDs of all the base tables must appear in the SELECT list of the MVIEW query definition.
3) If there are outer joins, unique constraints must be placed on the join columns of the inner table.

Standard concise way to copy a file in Java?

Three possible problems with the above code:

  1. If getChannel throws an exception, you might leak an open stream.
  2. For large files, you might be trying to transfer more at once than the OS can handle.
  3. You are ignoring the return value of transferFrom, so it might be copying just part of the file.

This is why org.apache.tools.ant.util.ResourceUtils.copyResource is so complicated. Also note that while transferFrom is OK, transferTo breaks on JDK 1.4 on Linux (see Bug ID:5056395) – Jesse Glick Jan

What is the height of Navigation Bar in iOS 7?

I got this answer from the book Programming iOS 7, section Bar Position and Bar Metrics

If a navigation bar or toolbar — or a search bar (discussed earlier in this chapter) — is to occupy the top of the screen, the iOS 7 convention is that its height should be increased to underlap the transparent status bar. To make this possible, iOS 7 introduces the notion of a bar position.

UIBarPositionTopAttached

Specifies that the bar is at the top of the screen, as well as its containing view. Bars with this position draw their background extended upwards, allowing their background content to show through the status bar. Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

difference between System.out.println() and System.err.println()

this answer most probably help you it is so much easy System.err and System.out both are the same both are defined in System class as reference variable of PrintStream class as public final static PrintStream out = null; and public final static PrintStream err = null;

means both are ref. variable of PrintStream class. normally System.err is used for printing an error messages, which increase the redability for the programmer.

A minor difference comes in both when we are working with Redirection operator.

What is difference between CrudRepository and JpaRepository interfaces in Spring Data JPA?

Below are the differences between CrudRepository and JpaRepository as:

CrudRepository

  1. CrudRepository is a base interface and extends the Repository interface.
  2. CrudRepository mainly provides CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
  3. Return type of saveAll() method is Iterable.
  4. Use Case - To perform CRUD operations, define repository extending CrudRepository.

JpaRepository

  1. JpaRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository that extends CrudRepository.
  2. JpaRepository provides CRUD and pagination operations, along with additional methods like flush(), saveAndFlush(), and deleteInBatch(), etc.
  3. Return type of saveAll() method is a List.
  4. Use Case - To perform CRUD as well as batch operations, define repository extends JpaRepository.

How to copy data from one table to another new table in MySQL?

This will do what you want:

INSERT INTO table2 (st_id,uid,changed,status,assign_status)
SELECT st_id,from_uid,now(),'Pending','Assigned'
FROM table1

If you want to include all rows from table1. Otherwise you can add a WHERE statement to the end if you want to add only a subset of table1.

I hope this helps.

This Handler class should be static or leaks might occur: IncomingHandler

As others have mentioned the Lint warning is because of the potential memory leak. You can avoid the Lint warning by passing a Handler.Callback when constructing Handler (i.e. you don't subclass Handler and there is no Handler non-static inner class):

Handler mIncomingHandler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
    @Override
    public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
        // todo
        return true;
    }
});

As I understand it, this will not avoid the potential memory leak. Message objects hold a reference to the mIncomingHandler object which holds a reference the Handler.Callback object which holds a reference to the Service object. As long as there are messages in the Looper message queue, the Service will not be GC. However, it won't be a serious issue unless you have long delay messages in the message queue.

Gridview with two columns and auto resized images

another simple approach with modern built-in stuff like PercentRelativeLayout is now available for new users who hit this problem. thanks to android team for release this item.

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
app:layout_widthPercent="50%">

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/picture"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:background="#55000000"
        android:paddingBottom="15dp"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:paddingTop="15dp"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

</FrameLayout>

and for better performance you can use some stuff like picasso image loader which help you to fill whole width of every image parents. for example in your adapter you should use this:

int width= context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
    com.squareup.picasso.Picasso
            .with(context)
            .load("some url")
            .centerCrop().resize(width/2,width/2)
            .error(R.drawable.placeholder)
            .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
            .into(item.drawableId);

now you dont need CustomImageView Class anymore.

P.S i recommend to use ImageView in place of Type Int in class Item.

hope this help..

What is the difference between id and class in CSS, and when should I use them?

  • Use a class when you want to consistently style multiple elements throughout the page/site. Classes are useful when you have, or possibly will have in the future, more than one element that shares the same style. An example may be a div of "comments" or a certain list style to use for related links.

    Additionally, a given element can have more than one class associated with it, while an element can only have one id. For example, you can give a div two classes whose styles will both take effect.

    Furthermore, note that classes are often used to define behavioral styles in addition to visual ones. For example, the jQuery form validator plugin heavily uses classes to define the validation behavior of elements (e.g. required or not, or defining the type of input format)

    Examples of class names are: tag, comment, toolbar-button, warning-message, or email.

  • Use the ID when you have a single element on the page that will take the style. Remember that IDs must be unique. In your case this may be the correct option, as there presumably will only be one "main" div on the page.

    Examples of ids are: main-content, header, footer, or left-sidebar.

A good way to remember this is a class is a type of item and the id is the unique name of an item on the page.

How to plot an array in python?

if you give a 2D array to the plot function of matplotlib it will assume the columns to be lines:

If x and/or y is 2-dimensional, then the corresponding columns will be plotted.

In your case your shape is not accepted (100, 1, 1, 8000). As so you can using numpy squeeze to solve the problem quickly:

np.squeez doc: Remove single-dimensional entries from the shape of an array.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = np.random.randint(3, 7, (10, 1, 1, 80))
newdata = np.squeeze(data) # Shape is now: (10, 80)
plt.plot(newdata) # plotting by columns
plt.show()

But notice that 100 sets of 80 000 points is a lot of data for matplotlib. I would recommend that you look for an alternative. The result of the code example (run in Jupyter) is:

Jupyter matplotlib plot

How to expand 'select' option width after the user wants to select an option

If you have the option pre-existing in a fixed-with <select>, and you don't want to change the width programmatically, you could be out of luck unless you get a little creative.

  • You could try and set the title attribute to each option. This is non-standard HTML (if you care for this minor infraction here), but IE (and Firefox as well) will display the entire text in a mouse popup on mouse hover.
  • You could use JavaScript to show the text in some positioned DIV when the user selects something. IMHO this is the not-so-nice way to do it, because it requires JavaScript on to work at all, and it works only after something has been selected - before there is a change in value no events fire for the select box.
  • You don't use a select box at all, but implement its functionality using other markup and CSS. Not my favorite but I wanted to mention it.

If you are adding a long option later through JavaScript, look here: How to update HTML “select” box dynamically in IE

Convert Swift string to array

It is even easier in Swift:

let string : String = "Hello  "
let characters = Array(string)
println(characters)
// [H, e, l, l, o,  , , ,  , ]

This uses the facts that

  • an Array can be created from a SequenceType, and
  • String conforms to the SequenceType protocol, and its sequence generator enumerates the characters.

And since Swift strings have full support for Unicode, this works even with characters outside of the "Basic Multilingual Plane" (such as ) and with extended grapheme clusters (such as , which is actually composed of two Unicode scalars).


Update: As of Swift 2, String does no longer conform to SequenceType, but the characters property provides a sequence of the Unicode characters:

let string = "Hello  "
let characters = Array(string.characters)
print(characters)

This works in Swift 3 as well.


Update: As of Swift 4, String is (again) a collection of its Characters:

let string = "Hello  "
let characters = Array(string)
print(characters)
// ["H", "e", "l", "l", "o", " ", "", "", " ", ""]

How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

Try this:

String.prototype.getValueByKey = function(k){
    var p = new RegExp('\\b'+k+'\\b','gi');
    return this.search(p) != -1 ? decodeURIComponent(this.substr(this.search(p)+k.length+1).substr(0,this.substr(this.search(p)+k.length+1).search(/(&|;|$)/))) : "";
};

Then call it like so:

if(location.search != "") location.search.getValueByKey("id");

You can use this for cookies also:

if(navigator.cookieEnabled) document.cookie.getValueByKey("username");

This only works for strings that have key=value[&|;|$]... will not work on objects/arrays.

If you don't want to use String.prototype... move it to a function and pass the string as an argument

How to measure elapsed time

Per the Android docs SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() is the recommend basis for general purpose interval timing. This is because, per the documentation, elapsedRealtime() is guaranteed to be monotonic, [...], so is the recommend basis for general purpose interval timing.

The SystemClock documentation has a nice overview of the various time methods and the applicable use cases for them.

  • SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() and SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNanos() are the best bet for calculating general purpose elapsed time.
  • SystemClock.uptimeMillis() and System.nanoTime() are another possibility, but unlike the recommended methods, they don't include time in deep sleep. If this is your desired behavior then they are fine to use. Otherwise stick with elapsedRealtime().
  • Stay away from System.currentTimeMillis() as this will return "wall" clock time. Which is unsuitable for calculating elapsed time as the wall clock time may jump forward or backwards. Many things like NTP clients can cause wall clock time to jump and skew. This will cause elapsed time calculations based on currentTimeMillis() to not always be accurate.

When the game starts:

long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();

When the game ends:

long endTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
long elapsedMilliSeconds = endTime - startTime;
double elapsedSeconds = elapsedMilliSeconds / 1000.0;

Also, Timer() is a best effort timer and will not always be accurate. So there will be an accumulation of timing errors over the duration of the game. To more accurately display interim time, use periodic checks to System.currentTimeMillis() as the basis of the time sent to setText(...).

Also, instead of using Timer, you might want to look into using TimerTask, this class is designed for what you want to do. The only problem is that it counts down instead of up, but that can be solved with simple subtraction.

Best way to create unique token in Rails?

This may be helpful :

SecureRandom.base64(15).tr('+/=', '0aZ')

If you want to remove any special character than put in first argument '+/=' and any character put in second argument '0aZ' and 15 is the length here .

And if you want to remove the extra spaces and new line character than add the things like :

SecureRandom.base64(15).tr('+/=', '0aZ').strip.delete("\n")

Hope this will help to anybody.

ADB server version (36) doesn't match this client (39) {Not using Genymotion}

You have two versions of ADB

$ /usr/local/bin/adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
Revision 0e9850346394-android

and

$ /Users/user/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Revision 3db08f2c6889-android

You could see which one your PATH is pointing to (echo $PATH) but I fixed it with a adb stop-server on one version and a adb start-server on the other.

Writing outputs to log file and console

Yes, you want to use tee:

tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files

Just pipe your command to tee and pass the file as an argument, like so:

exec 1 | tee ${LOG_FILE}
exec 2 | tee ${LOG_FILE}

This both prints the output to the STDOUT and writes the same output to a log file. See man tee for more information.

Note that this won't write stderr to the log file, so if you want to combine the two streams then use:

exec 1 2>&1 | tee ${LOG_FILE}

Drag and drop a DLL to the GAC ("assembly") in windows server 2008 .net 4.0

In .net 4.0 Microsoft removed the ability to add DLLs to the Assembly simply by dragging and dropping.

Instead you need to use gacutil.exe, or create an installer to do it. Microsoft actually doesn’t recommend using gacutil, but I went that route anyway.

To use gacutil on a development machine go to:
Start -> programs -> Microsoft Visual studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)

Then use these commands to uninstall and Reinstall respectively. Note I did NOT include .dll in the uninstall command.
gacutil /u myDLL
gacutil /i "C:\Program Files\Custom\myDLL.dll"

To use Gacutil on a non-development machine you will have to copy the executable and config file from your dev machine to the production machine. It looks like there are a few different versions of Gacutil. The one that worked for me, I found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe.config

Copy the files here or to the appropriate .net folder;
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Then use these commands to uninstall and reinstall respectively
"C:\Users\BHJeremy\Desktop\Installing to the Gac in .net 4.0\gacutil.exe" /u "myDLL"

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\gacutil.exe" /i "C:\Program Files\Custom\myDLL.dll"

Uint8Array to string in Javascript

Try these functions,

var JsonToArray = function(json)
{
    var str = JSON.stringify(json, null, 0);
    var ret = new Uint8Array(str.length);
    for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
        ret[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return ret
};

var binArrayToJson = function(binArray)
{
    var str = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < binArray.length; i++) {
        str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(binArray[i]));
    }
    return JSON.parse(str)
}

convert UIImage to NSData

Try one of the following, depending on your image format:

UIImageJPEGRepresentation

Returns the data for the specified image in JPEG format.

NSData * UIImageJPEGRepresentation (
   UIImage *image,
   CGFloat compressionQuality
);

UIImagePNGRepresentation

Returns the data for the specified image in PNG format

NSData * UIImagePNGRepresentation (
   UIImage *image
);

Here the docs.

EDIT:

if you want to access the raw bytes that make up the UIImage, you could use this approach:

CGDataProviderRef provider = CGImageGetDataProvider(image.CGImage);
NSData* data = (id)CFBridgingRelease(CGDataProviderCopyData(provider));
const uint8_t* bytes = [data bytes];

This will give you the low-level representation of the image RGB pixels. (Omit the CFBridgingRelease bit if you are not using ARC).

Parsing json and searching through it

As json.loads simply returns a dict, you can use the operators that apply to dicts:

>>> jdata = json.load('{"uri": "http:", "foo", "bar"}')
>>> 'uri' in jdata       # Check if 'uri' is in jdata's keys
True
>>> jdata['uri']         # Will return the value belonging to the key 'uri'
u'http:'

Edit: to give an idea regarding how to loop through the data, consider the following example:

>>> import json
>>> jdata = json.loads(open ('bookmarks.json').read())
>>> for c in jdata['children'][0]['children']:
...     print 'Title: {}, URI: {}'.format(c.get('title', 'No title'),
                                          c.get('uri', 'No uri'))
...
Title: Recently Bookmarked, URI: place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU(...)
Title: Recent Tags, URI: place:sort=14&type=6&maxResults=10&queryType=1
Title: , URI: No uri
Title: Mozilla Firefox, URI: No uri

Inspecting the jdata data structure will allow you to navigate it as you wish. The pprint call you already have is a good starting point for this.

Edit2: Another attempt. This gets the file you mentioned in a list of dictionaries. With this, I think you should be able to adapt it to your needs.

>>> def build_structure(data, d=[]):
...     if 'children' in data:
...         for c in data['children']:
...             d.append({'title': c.get('title', 'No title'),
...                                      'uri': c.get('uri', None)})
...             build_structure(c, d)
...     return d
...
>>> pprint.pprint(build_structure(jdata))
[{'title': u'Bookmarks Menu', 'uri': None},
 {'title': u'Recently Bookmarked',
  'uri':   u'place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&(...)'},
 {'title': u'Recent Tags',
  'uri':   u'place:sort=14&type=6&maxResults=10&queryType=1'},
 {'title': u'', 'uri': None},
 {'title': u'Mozilla Firefox', 'uri': None},
 {'title': u'Help and Tutorials',
  'uri':   u'http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/help/'},
 (...)
}]

To then "search through it for u'uri': u'http:'", do something like this:

for c in build_structure(jdata):
    if c['uri'].startswith('http:'):
        print 'Started with http'

Can I update a JSF component from a JSF backing bean method?

I also tried to update a component from a jsf backing bean/class

You need to do the following after manipulating the UI component:

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPartialViewContext().getRenderIds().add(componentToBeRerendered.getClientId())

It is important to use the clientId instead of the (server-side) componentId!!

How to write an XPath query to match two attributes?

Adding to Brian Agnew's answer.

You can also do //div[@id='..' or @class='...] and you can have parenthesized expressions inside //div[@id='..' and (@class='a' or @class='b')].

$(document).on("click"... not working?

Your code should work, but I'm aware that answer doesn't help you. You can see a working example here (jsfiddle).

Jquery:

$(document).on('click','#test-element',function(){
    alert("You clicked the element with and ID of 'test-element'");
});

As someone already pointed out, you are using an ID instead of a class. If you have more that one element on the page with an ID, then jquery will return only the first element with that ID. There won't be any errors because that's how it works. If this is the problem, then you'll notice that the click event works for the first test-element but not for any that follow.

If this does not accurately describe the symptoms of the problem, then perhaps your selector is wrong. Your update leads me to believe this is the case because of inspecting an element then clicking the page again and triggering the click. What could be causing this is if you put the event listener on the actual document instead of test-element. If so, when you click off the document and back on (like from the developer window back to the document) the event will trigger. If this is the case, you'll also notice the click event is triggered if you click between two different tabs (because they are two different documents and therefore you are clicking the document.

If neither of these are the answer, posting HTML will go a long way toward figuring it out.

Using external images for CSS custom cursors

I found out that you need to add the pointer eg:

Convert timestamp to date in Oracle SQL

This may not be the correct way to do it. But I have solved the problem using substring function.

Select max(start_ts), min(start_ts)from db where SUBSTR(start_ts, 0,9) ='13-may-2016'

using this I was able to retrieve the max and min timestamp.

Does Eclipse have line-wrap

From Bug 35779 - Comment 187:

A workaround, that I use for the last years now, is to use the eclipse wiki markup editor for editing text files. This supports word wrap, and this is enough for me. Maybe this information could be of help to some of you.

Limit the length of a string with AngularJS

You can use this npm module: https://github.com/sparkalow/angular-truncate

Inject the truncate filter into your app module like this:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['truncate']); 

and apply the filter in your app this way:

{{ text | characters:20 }} 

Difference between BYTE and CHAR in column datatypes

Depending on the system configuration, size of CHAR mesured in BYTES can vary. In your examples:

  1. Limits field to 11 BYTE
  2. Limits field to 11 CHARacters


Conclusion: 1 CHAR is not equal to 1 BYTE.

how to rename an index in a cluster?

If you can't REINDEX a workaround is to use aliases. From the official documentation:

APIs in elasticsearch accept an index name when working against a specific index, and several indices when applicable. The index aliases API allow to alias an index with a name, with all APIs automatically converting the alias name to the actual index name. An alias can also be mapped to more than one index, and when specifying it, the alias will automatically expand to the aliases indices. An alias can also be associated with a filter that will automatically be applied when searching, and routing values. An alias cannot have the same name as an index.

Be aware that this solution does not work if you're using More Like This feature. https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/16560

CSS filter: make color image with transparency white

To my knowledge, there is sadly no CSS filter to colorise an element (perhaps with the use of some SVG filter magic, but I'm somewhat unfamiliar with that) and even if that wasn't the case, filters are basically only supported by webkit browsers.

With that said, you could still work around this and use a canvas to modify your image. Basically, you can draw an image element onto a canvas and then loop through the pixels, modifying the respective RGBA values to the colour you want.

However, canvases do come with some restrictions. Most importantly, you have to make sure that the image src comes from the same domain as the page. Otherwise the browser won't allow you to read or modify the pixel data of the canvas.

Here's a JSFiddle changing the colour of the JSFiddle logo.

How to always show the vertical scrollbar in a browser?

Here is a method. This will not only provide scrollbar container, but will also show the scrollbar even if content isnt enough (as per your requirement). Would also work on Iphone, and android devices as well..

<style>
    .scrollholder {
        position: relative;
        width: 310px; height: 350px;
        overflow: auto;
        z-index: 1;
    }
</style>

<script>
    function isTouchDevice() {
        try {
            document.createEvent("TouchEvent");
            return true;
        } catch (e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    function touchScroll(id) {
        if (isTouchDevice()) { //if touch events exist...
            var el = document.getElementById(id);
            var scrollStartPos = 0;

            document.getElementById(id).addEventListener("touchstart", function (event) {
                scrollStartPos = this.scrollTop + event.touches[0].pageY;
                event.preventDefault();
            }, false);

            document.getElementById(id).addEventListener("touchmove", function (event) {
                this.scrollTop = scrollStartPos - event.touches[0].pageY;
                event.preventDefault();
            }, false);
        }
    }
</script>

<body onload="touchScroll('scrollMe')">

    <!-- title -->
    <!-- <div class="title" onselectstart="return false">Alarms</div> -->
    <div class="scrollholder" id="scrollMe">

</div>

How to change the background color on a Java panel?

I think what he is trying to say is to use the getContentPane().setBackground(Color.the_Color_you_want_here)

but if u want to set the color to any other then the JFrame, you use the object.setBackground(Color.the_Color_you_want_here)

Eg:

jPanel.setbackground(Color.BLUE)

How do you modify a CSS style in the code behind file for divs in ASP.NET?

Another way to do it:

testSpace.Style.Add("display", "none");

or

testSpace.Style["background-image"] = "url(images/foo.png)";

in vb.net you can do it this way:

testSpace.Style.Item("display") = "none"

How to download videos from youtube on java?

ytd2 is a fully functional YouTube video downloader. Check out its source code if you want to see how it's done.

Alternatively, you can also call an external process like youtube-dl to do the job. This is probably the easiest solution but it isn't in "pure" Java.

Lombok annotations do not compile under Intellij idea

If you're using Eclipse compiler with lombok, this setup finally worked for me:

  • IDEA 14.1
  • Lombok plugin
  • ... / Compiler / Java Compiler > Use Compiler: Eclipse
  • ... / Compiler / Annotation Processors > Enable annotation processing: checked (default configuration)
  • ... / Compiler > Additional build process VM options:(Shared build process VM options) -javaagent:lombok.jar

The most important part is the last one, mine looks like following: enter image description here

Plugin is needed for IntelliJ editor to recognize getters and setters, javaagent is needed for eclipse compiler to compile with lombok.

Build Error - missing required architecture i386 in file

Though it is possible that something got deleted, it has been my experience that something gets screwed up in the project file. I have yet to pin down what that "something" is. I've had similar issues when the SDK installation is just fine. There are a couple of options.

First, add all of your files to a new project. This seems to usually work. Kind of a pain, though.

Second, you can right-click project in XCode/Get Info/Build/Library Search Paths. Add new paths similar to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.sdk/usr/lib. Add appropriate versions of that string for each version (2.2.1, etc) and platform (simulator or iPhoneOS). Perform a similar action for Framework Search Paths if frameworks are your problem.

Third, which is more work but more reliable, is to open project.pbxproj from within MyProject.xcodeproj (Textmate is good for this). Look for "/* Begin XCBuildConfiguration section */", then "LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS" and "FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS". Add or modify the paths as appropriate, and save the file.

In any case, a pain in the butt, and I'd sure like to pin-point the cause because I've had this happen a couple of times. Project builds fine, then just up and refuses to do so with what seems to be little reason.

Error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I'm working in Android Studio and encountered this error when trying to generate a signed APK for release. I was able to build and test a debug APK with no problem, but as soon as I wanted to build a release APK, the build process would run for minutes on end and then finally terminate with the "Error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded". I increased the heap sizes for both the VM and the Android DEX compiler, but the problem persisted. Finally, after many hours and mugs of coffee it turned out that the problem was in my app-level 'build.gradle' file - I had the 'minifyEnabled' parameter for the release build type set to 'false', consequently running Proguard stuffs on code that hasn't been through the code-shrinking' process (see https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html). I changed the 'minifyEnabled' parameter to 'true' and the release build executed like a dream :)

In short, I had to change my app-level 'build.gradle' file from: //...

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.sign_config_release
    }
    debug {
        debuggable true
        signingConfig signingConfigs.sign_config_debug
    }
}

//...

to

    //...

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.sign_config_release
    }
    debug {
        debuggable true
        signingConfig signingConfigs.sign_config_debug
    }
}

Required attribute on multiple checkboxes with the same name?

i had the same problem, my solution was apply the required attribute to all elements

<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="0" /><span class="w">S</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="1" /><span class="w">M</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="2" /><span class="w">T</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="3" /><span class="w">W</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="4" /><span class="w">T</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="5" /><span class="w">F</span>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkin_days[]" required="required" value="6" /><span class="w">S</span>

when the user check one of the elements i remove the required attribute from all elements:

var $checkedCheckboxes = $('#recurrent_checkin :checkbox[name="checkin_days[]"]:checked'),
    $checkboxes = $('#recurrent_checkin :checkbox[name="checkin_days[]"]');

$checkboxes.click(function() {

if($checkedCheckboxes.length) {
        $checkboxes.removeAttr('required');
    } else {
        $checkboxes.attr('required', 'required');
    }

 });

How can I get the error message for the mail() function?

If you are on Windows using SMTP, you can use error_get_last() when mail() returns false. Keep in mind this does not work with PHP's native mail() function.

$success = mail('[email protected]', 'My Subject', $message);
if (!$success) {
    $errorMessage = error_get_last()['message'];
}

With print_r(error_get_last()), you get something like this:

[type] => 2
[message] => mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "x.x.x.x" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()
[file] => C:\www\X\X.php
[line] => 2

How to sort with a lambda?

To much code, you can use it like this:

#include<array>
#include<functional>

int main()
{
    std::array<int, 10> vec = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 };

    std::sort(std::begin(vec), 
              std::end(vec), 
              [](int a, int b) {return a > b; });

    for (auto item : vec)
      std::cout << item << " ";

    return 0;
}

Replace "vec" with your class and that's it.

Excel VBA - Range.Copy transpose paste

WorksheetFunction Transpose()

Instead of copying, pasting via PasteSpecial, and using the Transpose option you can simply type a formula

    =TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!A1:A5)

or if you prefer VBA:

    Dim v
    v = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Sheet1.Range("A1:A5"))
    Sheet2.Range("A1").Resize(1, UBound(v)) = v

Note: alternatively you could use late-bound Application.Transpose instead.

MS help reference states that having a current version of Microsoft 365, one can simply input the formula in the top-left-cell of the target range, otherwise the formula must be entered as a legacy array formula via Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm it.

Versions Excel vers. 2007+, Mac since 2011, Excel for Microsoft 365

TestNG ERROR Cannot find class in classpath

When I converted my project with default pacage and a class named addition, to testng.xml. It got converted as:

and was throwing error that class cannot be loaded. If I remove . before addition, the code works fine. So be careful with default package.

How do I include a file over 2 directories back?

I saw your answers and I used include path with syntax

require_once '../file.php'; // server internal error 500

When I changed the path to

require_once '/../file.php'; // OK

everything is fine.

How to go to a specific element on page?

document.getElementById("elementID").scrollIntoView();

Same thing, but wrapping it in a function:

function scrollIntoView(eleID) {
   var e = document.getElementById(eleID);
   if (!!e && e.scrollIntoView) {
       e.scrollIntoView();
   }
}

This even works in an IFrame on an iPhone.

React - clearing an input value after form submit

The answers above are incorrect, they will all run weather or not the submission is successful... You need to write an error component that will receive any errors then check if there are errors in state, if there are not then clear the form....

use .then()

example:

 const onSubmit =  e => {
e.preventDefault();
const fd = new FormData();
fd.append("ticketType", ticketType);
fd.append("ticketSubject", ticketSubject);
fd.append("ticketDescription", ticketDescription);
fd.append("itHelpType", itHelpType);
fd.append("ticketPriority", ticketPriority);
fd.append("ticketAttachments", ticketAttachments);
newTicketITTicket(fd).then(()=>{
  setTicketData({
    ticketType: "IT",
    ticketSubject: "",
    ticketDescription: "",
    itHelpType: "",
    ticketPriority: ""
  })
})  

};

Service Reference Error: Failed to generate code for the service reference

If you want to correct this without uncheking the assembly reuse checkbox this is what worked for me:

  • Remove referenced assembly that you want to re-use
  • Delete all the bin folder of the project
  • Update service reference
    • Keep "Reuse types in specified referenced assemblies"
  • Add reference to assembly again to fix the errors
  • Update service reference again

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

It could be a case-sensitivity issue. Normally tables and columns are not case sensitive, but they will be if you use quotation marks. For example:

Firefox 'Cross-Origin Request Blocked' despite headers

The files are self explanatory. Make a file, call it anything. In my case jq2.php.

<html>
<head>

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    // document is made ready so that the program starts when we load this page       
    $(document).ready(function(){

        // it tells that any key activity in the "subcat_search" filed will execute the query.
        $("#subcat_search").keyup(function(){

            // we assemble the get link for the direction to our engine "gs.php". 
            var link1 = "http://127.0.0.1/jqm/gs.php?needle=" + $("#subcat_search").val();

            $.ajax({
                url: link1,
                // ajax function is called sending the input string to "gs.php".
                success: function(result){
                    // result is stuffed in the label.
                    $("#search_val").html(result);
                }
            });
        })   

    });
</script>
</head>

<body>

<!-- the input field for search string -->
<input type="text" id="subcat_search">
<br>
<!-- the output field for stuffing the output. -->
<label id="search_val"></label>

</body>
</html>

Now we will include an engine, make a file, call it anything you like. In my case it is gs.php.

$head = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query="; //our head
$key = "your key here"; //your key
$hay = $_GET['needle'];

$hay = str_replace(" ", "+", $hay); //replacing the " " with "+" to design it as per the google's requirement 
$kill = $head . $hay . "&key=" . $key; //assembling the string in proper way . 
print file_get_contents($kill);

I have tried to keep the example as simple as possible. And because it executes the link on every keypress, the quota of your API will be consumed pretty fast.

Of course there is no end to things we can do, like putting the data into a table, sending to database and so on.

How to write a Python module/package?

A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements. The file name is the module name with the suffix .py

create hello.py then write the following function as its content:

def helloworld():
   print "hello"

Then you can import hello:

>>> import hello
>>> hello.helloworld()
'hello'
>>>

To group many .py files put them in a folder. Any folder with an __init__.py is considered a module by python and you can call them a package

|-HelloModule
  |_ __init__.py
  |_ hellomodule.py

You can go about with the import statement on your module the usual way.

For more information, see 6.4. Packages.

Regular expression to extract URL from an HTML link

If you're only looking for one:

import re
match = re.search(r'href=[\'"]?([^\'" >]+)', s)
if match:
    print(match.group(1))

If you have a long string, and want every instance of the pattern in it:

import re
urls = re.findall(r'href=[\'"]?([^\'" >]+)', s)
print(', '.join(urls))

Where s is the string that you're looking for matches in.

Quick explanation of the regexp bits:

r'...' is a "raw" string. It stops you having to worry about escaping characters quite as much as you normally would. (\ especially -- in a raw string a \ is just a \. In a regular string you'd have to do \\ every time, and that gets old in regexps.)

"href=[\'"]?" says to match "href=", possibly followed by a ' or ". "Possibly" because it's hard to say how horrible the HTML you're looking at is, and the quotes aren't strictly required.

Enclosing the next bit in "()" says to make it a "group", which means to split it out and return it separately to us. It's just a way to say "this is the part of the pattern I'm interested in."

"[^\'" >]+" says to match any characters that aren't ', ", >, or a space. Essentially this is a list of characters that are an end to the URL. It lets us avoid trying to write a regexp that reliably matches a full URL, which can be a bit complicated.

The suggestion in another answer to use BeautifulSoup isn't bad, but it does introduce a higher level of external requirements. Plus it doesn't help you in your stated goal of learning regexps, which I'd assume this specific html-parsing project is just a part of.

It's pretty easy to do:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_to_parse)
for tag in soup.findAll('a', href=True):
    print(tag['href'])

Once you've installed BeautifulSoup, anyway.

How to differ sessions in browser-tabs?

you will need to do

1- store a cookie for accounts list

2- optional store a cookie for default one

3- store for each account with it's index like acc1, acc2

4- put in the url something represent the index of accounts and if not you will select the default one like google mail domain.com/0/some-url >> 0 here represent the index of account also you may need to know how to use urlwrite

5- when select a cookie, select it according to your urlpath represent the account index

Java error - "invalid method declaration; return type required"

I had a similar issue when adding a class to the main method. Turns out it wasn't an issue, it was me not checking my spelling. So, as a noob, I learned that mis-spelling can and will mess things up. These posts helped me "see" my mistake and all is good now.

Check date between two other dates spring data jpa

You should take a look the reference documentation. It's well explained.

In your case, I think you cannot use between because you need to pass two parameters

Between - findByStartDateBetween … where x.startDate between ?1 and ?2

In your case take a look to use a combination of LessThan or LessThanEqual with GreaterThan or GreaterThanEqual

  • LessThan/LessThanEqual

LessThan - findByEndLessThan … where x.start< ?1

LessThanEqual findByEndLessThanEqual … where x.start <= ?1

  • GreaterThan/GreaterThanEqual

GreaterThan - findByStartGreaterThan … where x.end> ?1

GreaterThanEqual - findByStartGreaterThanEqual … where x.end>= ?1

You can use the operator And and Or to combine both.

How to name and retrieve a stash by name in git?

Use git stash save NAME to save.

Then... you can use this script to choose which to apply (or pop):

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#git-stash-pick by Dan Rosenstark

# can take a command, default is apply
command = ARGV[0]
command = "apply" if !command
ARGV.clear

stashes = []
stashNames = []
`git stash list`.split("\n").each_with_index { |line, index|
    lineSplit = line.split(": ");
    puts "#{index+1}. #{lineSplit[2]}"
    stashes[index] = lineSplit[0]
    stashNames[index] = lineSplit[2]
}
print "Choose Stash or ENTER to exit: "
input = gets.chomp
if input.to_i.to_s == input
    realIndex = input.to_i - 1
    puts "\n\nDoing #{command} to #{stashNames[realIndex]}\n\n"
    puts `git stash #{command} #{stashes[realIndex]}`
end

I like being able to see the names of the stashes and choose. Also I use Zshell and frankly didn't know how to use some of the Bash aliases above ;)

Note: As Kevin says, you should use tags and cherry-picks instead.

Regular Expression for alphanumeric and underscores

this works for me you can try

[\\p{Alnum}_]

JavaScript: Difference between .forEach() and .map()

forEach() :

return value : undefined

originalArray : not modified after the method call

newArray is not created after the end of method call.

map() :

return value : new Array populated with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array

originalArray : not modified after the method call

newArray is created after the end of method call.

Since map builds a new array, using it when you aren't using the
returned array is an anti-pattern; use forEach or for-of instead.

Return back to MainActivity from another activity

why don't you call finish();

when you want to return to MainActivity

   btnReturn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        finish();
    }
});

How to query between two dates using Laravel and Eloquent?

I know this might be an old question but I just found myself in a situation where I had to implement this feature in a Laravel 5.7 app. Below is what worked from me.

 $articles = Articles::where("created_at",">", Carbon::now()->subMonths(3))->get();

You will also need to use Carbon

use Carbon\Carbon;

What are the best practices for SQLite on Android?

I know that the response is late, but the best way to execute sqlite queries in android is through a custom content provider. In that way the UI is decoupled with the database class(the class that extends the SQLiteOpenHelper class). Also the queries are executed in a background thread(Cursor Loader).

A variable modified inside a while loop is not remembered

echo -e $lines | while read line 
    ...
done

The while loop is executed in a subshell. So any changes you do to the variable will not be available once the subshell exits.

Instead you can use a here string to re-write the while loop to be in the main shell process; only echo -e $lines will run in a subshell:

while read line
do
    if [[ "$line" == "second line" ]]
    then
        foo=2
        echo "Variable \$foo updated to $foo inside if inside while loop"
    fi
    echo "Value of \$foo in while loop body: $foo"
done <<< "$(echo -e "$lines")"

You can get rid of the rather ugly echo in the here-string above by expanding the backslash sequences immediately when assigning lines. The $'...' form of quoting can be used there:

lines=$'first line\nsecond line\nthird line'
while read line; do
    ...
done <<< "$lines"

Access non-numeric Object properties by index?

If you are not sure Object.keys() is going to return you the keys in the right order, you can try this logic instead

var keys = []
var obj = {
    'key1' : 'value1',
    'key2' : 'value2',
    'key3' : 'value3',
}
for (var key in obj){
    keys.push(key)
}
console.log(obj[keys[1]])
console.log(obj[keys[2]])
console.log(obj[keys[3]])

Import bootstrap with altervista and wordpress

I use this to import bootstrap.css in altervista with wordpress

@import url("https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css");

and it works fine, as it would delete the html link rel code if I put it into a page

How to install the Raspberry Pi cross compiler on my Linux host machine?

You may use clang as well. It used to be faster than GCC, and now it is quite a stable thing. It is much easier to build clang from sources (you can really drink cup of coffee during build process).

In short:

  1. Get clang binaries (sudo apt-get install clang).. or download and build (read instructions here)
  2. Mount your raspberry rootfs (it may be the real rootfs mounted via sshfs, or an image).
  3. Compile your code:

    path/to/clang --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --sysroot=/some/path/arm-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot my-happy-program.c -fuse-ld=lld
    

Optionally you may use legacy arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils. Then you may remove "-fuse-ld=lld" flag at the end.

Below is my cmake toolchain file.

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${CROSS_FLAGS} ${RASP_FLAGS}")

# Use clang linker. Why?
# Well, you may install custom arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils,
# but then, you also need to recompile clang, with customized triple;
# otherwise clang will try to use host 'ld' for linking,
# so... use clang linker.
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS ${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -fuse-ld=lld)

iOS: how to perform a HTTP POST request?

You can use NSURLConnection as follows:

  1. Set your NSURLRequest: Use requestWithURL:(NSURL *)theURL to initialise the request.

    If you need to specify a POST request and/or HTTP headers, use NSMutableURLRequest with

    • (void)setHTTPMethod:(NSString *)method
    • (void)setHTTPBody:(NSData *)data
    • (void)setValue:(NSString *)value forHTTPHeaderField:(NSString *)field
  2. Send your request in 2 ways using NSURLConnection:

    • Synchronously: (NSData *)sendSynchronousRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request returningResponse:(NSURLResponse **)response error:(NSError **)error

      This returns a NSData variable that you can process.

      IMPORTANT: Remember to kick off the synchronous request in a separate thread to avoid blocking the UI.

    • Asynchronously: (void)start

Don't forget to set your NSURLConnection's delegate to handle the connection as follows:

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
    [self.data setLength:0];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)d {
    [self.data appendData:d];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
    [[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Error", @"")
                                 message:[error localizedDescription]
                                delegate:nil
                       cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"") 
                       otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease] show];
}

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
    NSString *responseText = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:self.data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    // Do anything you want with it 

    [responseText release];
}

// Handle basic authentication challenge if needed
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {
    NSString *username = @"username";
    NSString *password = @"password";

    NSURLCredential *credential = [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser:username
                                                             password:password
                                                          persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
    [[challenge sender] useCredential:credential forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}

How to get multiple selected values from select box in JSP?

Since I don't find a simple answer just adding more this will be JSP page. save this content to a jsp file once you run you can see the values of the selected displayed.

Update: save the file as test.jsp and run it on any web/app server

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<%@ page import="java.lang.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<% String[] a = request.getParameterValues("multiple");
if(a!=null)
{
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++){
//out.println(Integer.parseInt(a[i])); //If integer
out.println(a[i]);
}}
%>
<html>
<body>
<form action="test.jsp" method="get">
<select name="multiple" multiple="multiple"><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option><option value="3">3</option></select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

tkinter: Open a new window with a button prompt

Here's the nearly shortest possible solution to your question. The solution works in python 3.x. For python 2.x change the import to Tkinter rather than tkinter (the difference being the capitalization):

import tkinter as tk
#import Tkinter as tk  # for python 2
    
def create_window():
    window = tk.Toplevel(root)

root = tk.Tk()
b = tk.Button(root, text="Create new window", command=create_window)
b.pack()

root.mainloop()

This is definitely not what I recommend as an example of good coding style, but it illustrates the basic concepts: a button with a command, and a function that creates a window.

Possible reasons for timeout when trying to access EC2 instance

One more possibility. AWS security groups are setup to work only with specific incoming ip addresses. If your security group is setup in this way you (or the account holder) will need to add your ip address to the security group. Todo this open your AWS dashboard, select security groups, select a security group and click on the inbound tab. Then add your ip as appropriate.

How to "log in" to a website using Python's Requests module?

The requests.Session() solution assisted with logging into a form with CSRF Protection (as used in Flask-WTF forms). Check if a csrf_token is required as a hidden field and add it to the payload with the username and password:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

payload = {
    'email': '[email protected]',
    'password': 'passw0rd'
}     

with requests.Session() as sess:
    res = sess.get(server_name + '/signin')
    signin = BeautifulSoup(res._content, 'html.parser')
    payload['csrf_token'] = signin.find('input', id='csrf_token')['value']
    res = sess.post(server_name + '/auth/login', data=payload)

Java Web Service client basic authentication

for Axis2 client this may be helpful

...
serviceStub = new TestBeanServiceStub("<WEB SERVICE URL>"); // Set your value
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator basicAuthenticator = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
List<String> authSchemes = new ArrayList<String>();
authSchemes.add(Authenticator.BASIC);
basicAuthenticator.setAuthSchemes(authSchemes); 
basicAuthenticator.setUsername("<UserName>"); // Set your value
basicAuthenticator.setPassword("<Password>"); // Set your value
basicAuthenticator.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
serviceStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, basicAuthenticator);
serviceStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.CHUNKED, "false");
...

Why am I getting a NoClassDefFoundError in Java?

While it's possible that this is due to a classpath mismatch between compile-time and run-time, it's not necessarily true.

It is important to keep two or three different exceptions straight in our head in this case:

  1. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on the classpath.

  2. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying to use the class again (and thus need to load it, since it failed last time), but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed loading it earlier (and reasonably suspect that we would fail again). The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem.

reading and parsing a TSV file, then manipulating it for saving as CSV (*efficiently*)

You should use the csv module to read the tab-separated value file. Do not read it into memory in one go. Each row you read has all the information you need to write rows to the output CSV file, after all. Keep the output file open throughout.

import csv

with open('sample.txt', newline='') as tsvin, open('new.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvout:
    tsvin = csv.reader(tsvin, delimiter='\t')
    csvout = csv.writer(csvout)

    for row in tsvin:
        count = int(row[4])
        if count > 0:
            csvout.writerows([row[2:4] for _ in range(count)])

or, using the itertools module to do the repeating with itertools.repeat():

from itertools import repeat
import csv

with open('sample.txt', newline='') as tsvin, open('new.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvout:
    tsvin = csv.reader(tsvin, delimiter='\t')
    csvout = csv.writer(csvout)

    for row in tsvin:
        count = int(row[4])
        if count > 0:
            csvout.writerows(repeat(row[2:4], count))

Breaking to a new line with inline-block?

I think the best way to do this as of 2018 is to use flexbox.

_x000D_

  display: flex;_x000D_
  flex-direction: column;_x000D_
  align-items: flex-start;_x000D_
