Programs & Examples On #Winmain

WinMain is the user provided entry point for graphical Windows based applications.

undefined reference to WinMain@16 (codeblocks)

You should create a new project in Code::Blocks, and make sure it's 'Console Application'.

Add your .cpp files into the project so they are all compiled and linked together.

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

If you have a "Win32 project" + defined a WinMain and your SubSystem linker setting is set to WINDOWS you can still get this linker error in case somebody set the "Additional Options" in the linker settings to "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE" (looks like this additional setting is preferred over the actual SubSystem setting.

C++ Fatal Error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

From msdn

When you created the project, you made the wrong choice of application type. When asked whether your project was a console application or a windows application or a DLL or a static library, you made the wrong chose windows application (wrong choice).

Go back, start over again, go to File -> New -> Project -> Win32 Console Application -> name your app -> click next -> click application settings.

For the application type, make sure Console Application is selected (this step is the vital step).

The main for a windows application is called WinMain, for a DLL is called DllMain, for a .NET application is called Main(cli::array ^), and a static library doesn't have a main. Only in a console app is main called main

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

Besides changing it to Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) as others have said, you may need to change the entry point in Properties -> Linker -> Advanced -> Entry Point. Set it to mainCRTStartup.

It seems that Visual Studio might be searching for the WinMain function instead of main, if you don't specify otherwise.

undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

This error occurs when the linker can't find WinMain function, so it is probably missing. In your case, you are probably missing main too.

Consider the following Windows API-level program:

#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    MessageBox( 0, "Blah blah...", "My Windows app!", MB_SETFOREGROUND );
}

Now let's build it using GNU toolchain (i.e. g++), no special options. Here gnuc is just a batch file that I use for that. It only supplies options to make g++ more standard:

C:\test> gnuc x.cpp

C:\test> objdump -x a.exe | findstr /i "^subsystem"
Subsystem               00000003        (Windows CUI)

C:\test> _

This means that the linker by default produced a console subsystem executable. The subsystem value in the file header tells Windows what services the program requires. In this case, with console system, that the program requires a console window.

This also causes the command interpreter to wait for the program to complete.

Now let's build it with GUI subsystem, which just means that the program does not require a console window:

C:\test> gnuc x.cpp -mwindows

C:\test> objdump -x a.exe | findstr /i "^subsystem"
Subsystem               00000002        (Windows GUI)

C:\test> _

Hopefully that's OK so far, although the -mwindows flag is just semi-documented.

Building without that semi-documented flag one would have to more specifically tell the linker which subsystem value one desires, and some Windows API import libraries will then in general have to be specified explicitly:

C:\test> gnuc x.cpp -Wl,-subsystem,windows

C:\test> objdump -x a.exe | findstr /i "^subsystem"
Subsystem               00000002        (Windows GUI)

C:\test> _

That worked fine, with the GNU toolchain.

But what about the Microsoft toolchain, i.e. Visual C++?

Well, building as a console subsystem executable works fine:

C:\test> msvc x.cpp user32.lib
x.cpp

C:\test> dumpbin /headers x.exe | find /i "subsystem" | find /i "Windows"
               3 subsystem (Windows CUI)

C:\test> _

However, with Microsoft's toolchain building as GUI subsystem does not work by default:

C:\test> msvc x.cpp user32.lib /link /subsystem:windows
x.cpp
LIBCMT.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartu
p
x.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

C:\test> _

Technically this is because Microsoft’s linker is non-standard by default for GUI subsystem. By default, when the subsystem is GUI, then Microsoft's linker uses a runtime library entry point, the function where the machine code execution starts, called winMainCRTStartup, that calls Microsoft's non-standard WinMain instead of standard main.

No big deal to fix that, though.

All you have to do is to tell Microsoft's linker which entry point to use, namely mainCRTStartup, which calls standard main:

C:\test> msvc x.cpp user32.lib /link /subsystem:windows /entry:mainCRTStartup
x.cpp

C:\test> dumpbin /headers x.exe | find /i "subsystem" | find /i "Windows"
               2 subsystem (Windows GUI)

C:\test> _

No problem, but very tedious. And so arcane and hidden that most Windows programmers, who mostly only use Microsoft’s non-standard-by-default tools, do not even know about it, and mistakenly think that a Windows GUI subsystem program “must” have non-standard WinMain instead of standard main. In passing, with C++0x Microsoft will have a problem with this, since the compiler must then advertize whether it's free-standing or hosted (when hosted it must support standard main).

Anyway, that's the reason why g++ can complain about WinMain missing: it's a silly non-standard startup function that Microsoft's tools require by default for GUI subsystem programs.

But as you can see above, g++ has no problem with standard main even for a GUI subsystem program.

So what could be the problem?

Well, you are probably missing a main. And you probably have no (proper) WinMain either! And then g++, after having searched for main (no such), and for Microsoft's non-standard WinMain (no such), reports that the latter is missing.

How to remove new line characters from data rows in mysql?

Removes trailing returns when importing from Excel. When you execute this, you may receive an error that there is no WHERE; ignore and execute.

UPDATE table_name SET col_name = TRIM(TRAILING '\r' FROM col_name)

Elasticsearch difference between MUST and SHOULD bool query

Since this is a popular question, I would like to add that in Elasticsearch version 2 things changed a bit.

Instead of filtered query, one should use bool query in the top level.

If you don't care about the score of must parts, then put those parts into filter key. No scoring means faster search. Also, Elasticsearch will automatically figure out, whether to cache them, etc. must_not is equally valid for caching.

Reference: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html

Also, mind that "gte": "now" cannot be cached, because of millisecond granularity. Use two ranges in a must clause: one with now/1h and another with now so that the first can be cached for a while and the second for precise filtering accelerated on a smaller result set.

Check if a parameter is null or empty in a stored procedure

To check if variable is null or empty use this:

IF LEN(ISNULL(@var, '')) = 0

How can I detect the encoding/codepage of a text file

Have you tried C# port for Mozilla Universal Charset Detector

Example from http://code.google.com/p/ude/

public static void Main(String[] args)
{
    string filename = args[0];
    using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(filename)) {
        Ude.CharsetDetector cdet = new Ude.CharsetDetector();
        cdet.Feed(fs);
        cdet.DataEnd();
        if (cdet.Charset != null) {
            Console.WriteLine("Charset: {0}, confidence: {1}", 
                 cdet.Charset, cdet.Confidence);
        } else {
            Console.WriteLine("Detection failed.");
        }
    }

Git: How to find a deleted file in the project commit history?

Below is a simple command, where a dev or a git user can pass a deleted file name from the repository root directory and get the history:

git log --diff-filter=D --summary | grep filename | awk '{print $4; exit}' | xargs git log --all -- 

If anybody, can improve the command, please do.

log4j logging hierarchy order

Hierarchy of log4j logging levels are as follows in Highest to Lowest order :

  • TRACE
  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • FATAL
  • OFF

TRACE log level provides highest logging which would be helpful to troubleshoot issues. DEBUG log level is also very useful to trouble shoot the issues.

You can also refer this link for more information about log levels : https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/architecture.html

How to deep copy a list?

If you are not allowed to directly import modules you can define your own deepcopy function as -

def copyList(L):
if type(L[0]) != list:
    return [i for i in L]
else:
    return [copyList(L[i]) for i in range(len(L))]

It's working can be seen easily as -

>>> x = [[1,2,3],[3,4]]
>>> z = copyList(x)
>>> x
[[1, 2, 3], [3, 4]]
>>> z
[[1, 2, 3], [3, 4]]
>>> id(x)
2095053718720
>>> id(z)
2095053718528
>>> id(x[0])
2095058990144
>>> id(z[0])
2095058992192

Call PHP function from Twig template

While I agree with the comments about passing in variables from your controller you can also register undefined functions when setting up the twig environment

$twig->registerUndefinedFunctionCallback(function ($name) {
        // security
        $allowed = false;
        switch ($name) {
            // example of calling a wordpress function
            case 'get_admin_page_title':
                $allowed = true;
                break;
        }

        if ($allowed && function_exists($name)) {
            return new Twig_Function_Function($name);
        }

        return false;
    });

This is from the Twig recipe page

Haven't tried calling a function on an object as the original question requested

Convert array of integers to comma-separated string

Use LINQ Aggregate method to convert array of integers to a comma separated string

var intArray = new []{1,2,3,4};
string concatedString = intArray.Aggregate((a, b) =>Convert.ToString(a) + "," +Convert.ToString( b));
Response.Write(concatedString);

output will be

1,2,3,4

This is one of the solution you can use if you have not .net 4 installed.

Passing capturing lambda as function pointer

While the template approach is clever for various reasons, it is important to remember the lifecycle of the lambda and the captured variables. If any form of a lambda pointer is is going to be used and the lambda is not a downward continuation, then only a copying [=] lambda should used. I.e., even then, capturing a pointer to a variable on the stack is UNSAFE if the lifetime of those captured pointers (stack unwind) is shorter than the lifetime of the lambda.

A simpler solution for capturing a lambda as a pointer is:

auto pLamdba = new std::function<...fn-sig...>([=](...fn-sig...){...});

e.g., new std::function<void()>([=]() -> void {...}

Just remember to later delete pLamdba so ensure that you don't leak the lambda memory. Secret to realize here is that lambdas can capture lambdas (ask yourself how that works) and also that in order for std::function to work generically the lambda implementation needs to contain sufficient internal information to provide access to the size of the lambda (and captured) data (which is why the delete should work [running destructors of captured types]).

Using Math.round to round to one decimal place?

If you need this and similar operations more often, it may be more convenient to find the right library instead of implementing it yourself.

Here are one-liners solving your question from Apache Commons Math using Precision, Colt using Functions, and Weka using Utils:

double value = 540.512 / 1978.8 * 100;
// Apache commons math
double rounded1 = Precision.round(value, 1);
double rounded2 = Precision.round(value, 1, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
// Colt
double rounded3 = Functions.round(0.1).apply(value)
// Weka
double rounded4 = Utils.roundDouble(value, 1)

What is the fastest/most efficient way to find the highest set bit (msb) in an integer in C?

Kaz Kylheku here

I benchmarked two approaches for this over 63 bit numbers (the long long type on gcc x86_64), staying away from the sign bit.

(I happen to need this "find highest bit" for something, you see.)

I implemented the data-driven binary search (closely based on one of the above answers). I also implemented a completely unrolled decision tree by hand, which is just code with immediate operands. No loops, no tables.

The decision tree (highest_bit_unrolled) benchmarked to be 69% faster, except for the n = 0 case for which the binary search has an explicit test.

The binary-search's special test for 0 case is only 48% faster than the decision tree, which does not have a special test.

Compiler, machine: (GCC 4.5.2, -O3, x86-64, 2867 Mhz Intel Core i5).

  int hi = 64;

  int i = 0;

  if (n == 0)
    return 0;

  for (i = 0; i < sizeof mask / sizeof mask[0]; i++) {
    int mi = lo + (hi - lo) / 2;

    if ((n >> mi) != 0)
      lo = mi;
    else if ((n & (mask[i] << lo)) != 0)
      hi = mi;
  }

  return lo + 1;
}

Quick and dirty test program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int highest_bit_unrolled(long long n);
int highest_bit(long long n);

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  long long n = strtoull(argv[1], NULL, 0);
  int b1, b2;
  long i;
  clock_t start = clock(), mid, end;

  for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++)
    b1 = highest_bit_unrolled(n);

  mid = clock();

  for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++)
    b2 = highest_bit(n);

  end = clock();

  printf("highest bit of 0x%llx/%lld = %d, %d\n", n, n, b1, b2);

  printf("time1 = %d\n", (int) (mid - start));
  printf("time2 = %d\n", (int) (end - mid));
  return 0;
}

Using only -O2, the difference becomes greater. The decision tree is almost four times faster.

I also benchmarked against the naive bit shifting code:

int highest_bit_shift(long long n)
{
  int i = 0;
  for (; n; n >>= 1, i++)
    ; /* empty */
  return i;
}

This is only fast for small numbers, as one would expect. In determining that the highest bit is 1 for n == 1, it benchmarked more than 80% faster. However, half of randomly chosen numbers in the 63 bit space have the 63rd bit set!

On the input 0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, the decision tree version is quite a bit faster than it is on 1, and shows to be 1120% faster (12.2 times) than the bit shifter.

I will also benchmark the decision tree against the GCC builtins, and also try a mixture of inputs rather than repeating against the same number. There may be some sticking branch prediction going on and perhaps some unrealistic caching scenarios which makes it artificially faster on repetitions.

Why em instead of px?

The reason I asked this question was that I forgot how to use em's as it was a while I was hacking happily in CSS. People didn't notice that I kept the question general as I wasn't talking about sizing fonts per se. I was more interested in how to define styles on any given block element on the page.

As Henrik Paul and others pointed out em is proportional to the font-size used in the element. It's a common practice to define sizes on block elements in px, however, sizing up fonts in browsers usually breaks this design. Resizing fonts is commonly done with the shortcut keys Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-. So a good practice is to use em's instead.

Using px to define the width

Here is an illustrating example. Say we have a div-tag that we want to turn into a stylish date box, we may have HTML-code that looks like this:

<div class="date-box">
    <p class="month">July</p>
    <p class="day">4</p>
</div>

A simple implementation would defining the width of the date-box class in px:

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

p.month { font-size: 10pt; }

p.day { font-size: 24pt; font-weight: bold; }

div.date-box {
    background-color: #DD2222;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    color: white;
    width: 50px;
}

The problem

However, if we want to size the text up in our browser the design will break. The text will also bleed outside the box which is almost the same what happens with SO's design as flodin points out. This is because the box will remain the same size in width as it is locked to 50px.

Using em instead

A smarter way is to define the width in ems instead:

div.date-box {
    background-color: #DD2222;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    color: white;
    width: 2.5em;
}

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 10pt; }

// Initial width of date-box = 10 pt x 2.5 em = 25 pt
// Will also work if you used px instead of pt

That way you have a fluid design on the date-box, i.e. the box will size up together with the text in proportion to the font-size defined for the date-box. In this example, the font-size is defined in * as 10pt and will size up 2.5 times to that font size. So when you're sizing the fonts in the browser, the box will have 2.5 times the size of that font-size.

How to change node.js's console font color?

This is a list of available colours (both background and foreground) in the console with some available actions (like reset, reverse, etc).

const colours = {
    reset: "\x1b[0m",
    bright: "\x1b[1m",
    dim: "\x1b[2m",
    underscore: "\x1b[4m",
    blink: "\x1b[5m",
    reverse: "\x1b[7m",
    hidden: "\x1b[8m",
    
    fg: {
        black: "\x1b[30m",
        red: "\x1b[31m",
        green: "\x1b[32m",
        yellow: "\x1b[33m",
        blue: "\x1b[34m",
        magenta: "\x1b[35m",
        cyan: "\x1b[36m",
        white: "\x1b[37m",
        crimson: "\x1b[38m" // Scarlet
    },
    bg: {
        black: "\x1b[40m",
        red: "\x1b[41m",
        green: "\x1b[42m",
        yellow: "\x1b[43m",
        blue: "\x1b[44m",
        magenta: "\x1b[45m",
        cyan: "\x1b[46m",
        white: "\x1b[47m",
        crimson: "\x1b[48m"
    }
};

Here's an example of how to use it:

console.log(colours.bg.blue, colours.fg.white, "I am a white message with a blue background", colours.reset) ; 
// Make sure that you don't forget "colours.reset" at the so that you can reset the console back to it's original colours.

Or you can install some utility modules:

npm install console-info console-warn console-error --save-dev

These modules will show something like the following to the console when you use them:

Example of the utility modules that I've mentioned.

SQL Server : converting varchar to INT

This is more for someone Searching for a result, than the original post-er. This worked for me...

declare @value varchar(max) = 'sad';
select sum(cast(iif(isnumeric(@value) = 1, @value, 0) as bigint));

returns 0

declare @value varchar(max) = '3';
select sum(cast(iif(isnumeric(@value) = 1, @value, 0) as bigint));

returns 3

Mac OS X - EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

I am running Python 3.6 on MacOS Catalina. My issue was that I tried to install mysqlclient==1.4.2.post1 and it keeps throwing mysql_config not found error.

This is the steps I took to solve the issue.

  1. Install mysql-connector-c using brew (if you have mysql already install unlink first brew unlink mysql) - brew install mysql-connector-c
  2. Open mysql_config and edit the file around line 112
# Create options 
libs="-L$pkglibdir"
libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"
  1. brew info openssl - this will give you more information on what needs to be done about putting openssl in PATH
  2. in relation to step 3, you need to do this to put openssl in PATH - echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
  3. for compilers to find openssl - export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
  4. for compilers to find openssl - export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

HTML5 tag for horizontal line break

Instead of using <hr>, you can one of the border of the enclosing block and display it as a horizontal line.

Here is a sample code:

The HTML:

<div class="title_block">
    <h3>This is a header.</h3>
</div>
<p>Here is some sample paragraph text.<br>
This demonstrates that a horizontal line goes between the title and the paragraph.</p>

The CSS:

.title_block {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}

filtering NSArray into a new NSArray in Objective-C

Assuming that your objects are all of a similar type you could add a method as a category of their base class that calls the function you're using for your criteria. Then create an NSPredicate object that refers to that method.

In some category define your method that uses your function

@implementation BaseClass (SomeCategory)
- (BOOL)myMethod {
    return someComparisonFunction(self, whatever);
}
@end

Then wherever you'll be filtering:

- (NSArray *)myFilteredObjects {
    NSPredicate *pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"myMethod = TRUE"];
    return [myArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:pred];
}

Of course, if your function only compares against properties reachable from within your class it may just be easier to convert the function's conditions to a predicate string.

vector vs. list in STL

Well the students of my class seems quite unable to explain to me when it is more effective to use vectors, but they look quite happy when advising me to use lists.

This is how I understand it

Lists: Each item contains an address to the next or previous element, so with this feature, you can randomize the items, even if they aren't sorted, the order won't change: it's efficient if you memory is fragmented. But it also has an other very big advantage: you can easily insert/remove items, because the only thing you need to do is change some pointers. Drawback: To read a random single item, you have to jump from one item to another until you find the correct address.

Vectors: When using vectors, the memory is much more organized like regular arrays: each n-th items is stored just after (n-1)th item and before (n+1)th item. Why is it better than list ? Because it allow fast random access. Here is how: if you know the size of an item in a vector, and if they are contiguous in memory, you can easily predict where the n-th item is; you don't have to browse all the item of a list to read the one you want, with vector, you directly read it, with a list you can't. On the other hand, modify the vector array or change a value is much more slow.

Lists are more appropriate to keep track of objects which can be added/removed in memory. Vectors are more appropriate when you want to access an element from a big quantity of single items.

I don't know how lists are optimized, but you have to know that if you want fast read access, you should use vectors, because how good the STL fasten lists, it won't be as fast in read-access than vector.

How to automatically convert strongly typed enum into int?

As many said, there is no way to automatically convert without adding overheads and too much complexity, but you can reduce your typing a bit and make it look better by using lambdas if some cast will be used a bit much in a scenario. That would add a bit of function overhead call, but will make code more readable compared to long static_cast strings as can be seen below. This may not be useful project wide, but only class wide.

#include <bitset>
#include <vector>

enum class Flags { ......, Total };
std::bitset<static_cast<unsigned int>(Total)> MaskVar;
std::vector<Flags> NewFlags;

-----------
auto scui = [](Flags a){return static_cast<unsigned int>(a); };

for (auto const& it : NewFlags)
{
    switch (it)
    {
    case Flags::Horizontal:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::Horizontal));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::Vertical)); break;
    case Flags::Vertical:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::Vertical));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::Horizontal)); break;

   case Flags::LongText:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::LongText));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::ShorTText)); break;
    case Flags::ShorTText:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::ShorTText));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::LongText)); break;

    case Flags::ShowHeading:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::ShowHeading));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::NoShowHeading)); break;
    case Flags::NoShowHeading:
        MaskVar.set(scui(Flags::NoShowHeading));
        MaskVar.reset(scui(Flags::ShowHeading)); break;

    default:
        break;
    }
}

Getting coordinates of marker in Google Maps API

One more alternative options

});

var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.651968, 9.478485),
    draggable: true

google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'dragend', function (evt) {
    document.getElementById('current').innerHTML = '<p>Marker dropped: Current Lat: ' + evt.latLng.lat().toFixed(3) + ' Current Lng: ' + evt.latLng.lng().toFixed(3) + '</p>';
});

How to strip comma in Python string

Use replace method of strings not strip:

s = s.replace(',','')

An example:

>>> s = 'Foo, bar'
>>> s.replace(',',' ')
'Foo  bar'
>>> s.replace(',','')
'Foo bar'
>>> s.strip(',') # clears the ','s at the start and end of the string which there are none
'Foo, bar'
>>> s.strip(',') == s
True

How to build splash screen in windows forms application?

The other answers here cover this well, but it is worth knowing that there is built in functionality for splash screens in Visual Studio: If you open the project properties for the windows form app and look at the Application tab, there is a "Splash screen:" option at the bottom. You simply pick which form in your app you want to display as the splash screen and it will take care of showing it when the app starts and hiding it once your main form is displayed.

You still need to set up your form as described above (with the correct borders, positioning, sizing etc.)

The iOS Simulator deployment targets is set to 7.0, but the range of supported deployment target version for this platform is 8.0 to 12.1

Iterating over the answer from Tao-Nhan Nguyen, accounting the original value set for every pod, adjusting it only if it's not greater than 8.0... Add the following to the Podfile:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      if Gem::Version.new('8.0') > Gem::Version.new(config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'])
        config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '8.0'
      end
    end
  end

Laravel Eloquent limit and offset

You can use skip and take functions as below:

$products = $art->products->skip($offset*$limit)->take($limit)->get();

// skip should be passed param as integer value to skip the records and starting index

// take gets an integer value to get the no. of records after starting index defined by skip

EDIT

Sorry. I was misunderstood with your question. If you want something like pagination the forPage method will work for you. forPage method works for collections.

REf : https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/collections#method-forpage

e.g

$products = $art->products->forPage($page,$limit);

Excel VBA App stops spontaneously with message "Code execution has been halted"

I would try the usual remedial things: - Run Rob Bovey's VBA Code Cleaner on your VBA Code - remove all addins on the users PC, particularly COM and .NET addins - Delete all the users .EXD files (MSoft Update incompatibilities) - Run Excel Detect & Repair on the users system - check the size of the user's .xlb file (should be 20-30K) - Reboot then delete all the users Temp files

Angular 2 How to redirect to 404 or other path if the path does not exist

For version v2.2.2 and newer

In version v2.2.2 and up, name property no longer exists and it shouldn't be used to define the route. path should be used instead of name and no leading slash is needed on the path. In this case use path: '404' instead of path: '/404':

 {path: '404', component: NotFoundComponent},
 {path: '**', redirectTo: '/404'}

For versions older than v2.2.2

you can use {path: '/*path', redirectTo: ['redirectPathName']}:

{path: '/home/...', name: 'Home', component: HomeComponent}
{path: '/', redirectTo: ['Home']},
{path: '/user/...', name: 'User', component: UserComponent},
{path: '/404', name: 'NotFound', component: NotFoundComponent},

{path: '/*path', redirectTo: ['NotFound']}

if no path matches then redirect to NotFound path

Android, landscape only orientation?

Just two steps needed:

  1. Apply setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); after setContentView().

  2. In the AndroidMainfest.xml, put this statement <activity android:name=".YOURCLASSNAME" android:screenOrientation="landscape" />

Hope it helps and happy coding :)

Pinging an IP address using PHP and echoing the result

I have developed the algorithm to work with heterogeneous OS, both Windows and Linux.

Implement the following class:

<?php

    class CheckDevice {

        public function myOS(){
            if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === (chr(87).chr(73).chr(78)))
                return true;

            return false;
        }

        public function ping($ip_addr){
            if ($this->myOS()){
                if (!exec("ping -n 1 -w 1 ".$ip_addr." 2>NUL > NUL && (echo 0) || (echo 1)"))
                    return true;
            } else {
                if (!exec("ping -q -c1 ".$ip_addr." >/dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?"))
                    return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
    }

    $ip_addr = "151.101.193.69"; #DNS: www.stackoverflow.com

    if ((new CheckDevice())->ping($ip_addr))
        echo "The device exists";
    else 
        echo "The device is not connected";

//php on some.php page

echo $_POST['user'];

Referring to the null object in Python

Per Truth value testing, 'None' directly tests as FALSE, so the simplest expression will suffice:

JWT refresh token flow

Based in this implementation with Node.js of JWT with refresh token:

1) In this case they use a uid and it's not a JWT. When they refresh the token they send the refresh token and the user. If you implement it as a JWT, you don't need to send the user, because it would inside the JWT.

2) They implement this in a separated document (table). It has sense to me because a user can be logged in in different client applications and it could have a refresh token by app. If the user lose a device with one app installed, the refresh token of that device could be invalidated without affecting the other logged in devices.

3) In this implementation it response to the log in method with both, access token and refresh token. It seams correct to me.

Javascript change date into format of (dd/mm/yyyy)

Some JavaScript engines can parse that format directly, which makes the task pretty easy:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function convertDate(inputFormat) {_x000D_
  function pad(s) { return (s < 10) ? '0' + s : s; }_x000D_
  var d = new Date(inputFormat)_x000D_
  return [pad(d.getDate()), pad(d.getMonth()+1), d.getFullYear()].join('/')_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(convertDate('Mon Nov 19 13:29:40 2012')) // => "19/11/2012"
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

can you host a private repository for your organization to use with npm?

There is an easy to use npm package to do this. https://www.npmjs.org/package/sinopia

In a nutshell, Sinopia is a private/caching npm repository server that you can setup with zero configuration.

Sinopia can be used to :

  • publish own private packages without exposing it to the public
  • cache only public packages that are used (there is no need to have to replicate the whole public registery)
  • override public packages with a modified version that have been produced internally.

Embed website into my site

You can embed websites into another website using the <embed> tag, like so:

<embed src="http://www.example.com" style="width:500px; height: 300px;">

You can change the height, width, and URL to suit your needs.

The <embed> tag is the most up-to-date way to embed websites, as it was introduced with HTML5.

Extract Google Drive zip from Google colab notebook

After mounting on drive, use shutil.unpack_archive. It works with almost all archive formats (e.g., “zip”, “tar”, “gztar”, “bztar”, “xztar”) and it's simple:

import shutil
shutil.unpack_archive("filename", "path_to_extract")

Background color for Tk in Python

widget['bg'] = '#000000'

or

widget['background'] = '#000000'

would also work as hex-valued colors are also accepted.

How does the enhanced for statement work for arrays, and how to get an iterator for an array?

I'm a recent student but I BELIEVE the original example with int[] is iterating over the primitives array, but not by using an Iterator object. It merely has the same (similar) syntax with different contents,

for (primitive_type : array) { }

for (object_type : iterableObject) { }

Arrays.asList() APPARENTLY just applies List methods to an object array that it's given - but for any other kind of object, including a primitive array, iterator().next() APPARENTLY just hands you the reference to the original object, treating it as a list with one element. Can we see source code for this? Wouldn't you prefer an exception? Never mind. I guess (that's GUESS) that it's like (or it IS) a singleton Collection. So here asList() is irrelevant to the case with a primitives array, but confusing. I don't KNOW I'm right, but I wrote a program that says that I am.

Thus this example (where basically asList() doesn't do what you thought it would, and therefore is not something that you'd actually use this way) - I hope the code works better than my marking-as-code, and, hey, look at that last line:

// Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_19-b04)

import java.util.*;

public class Page0434Ex00Ver07 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] ii = new int[4];
    ii[0] = 2;
    ii[1] = 3;
    ii[2] = 5;
    ii[3] = 7;

    Arrays.asList(ii);

    Iterator ai = Arrays.asList(ii).iterator();

    int[] i2 = (int[]) ai.next();

    for (int i : i2) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }

    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(12345678).iterator().next());
}
}

Object of custom type as dictionary key

You override __hash__ if you want special hash-semantics, and __cmp__ or __eq__ in order to make your class usable as a key. Objects who compare equal need to have the same hash value.

Python expects __hash__ to return an integer, returning Banana() is not recommended :)

User defined classes have __hash__ by default that calls id(self), as you noted.

There is some extra tips from the documentation.:

Classes which inherit a __hash__() method from a parent class but change the meaning of __cmp__() or __eq__() such that the hash value returned is no longer appropriate (e.g. by switching to a value-based concept of equality instead of the default identity based equality) can explicitly flag themselves as being unhashable by setting __hash__ = None in the class definition. Doing so means that not only will instances of the class raise an appropriate TypeError when a program attempts to retrieve their hash value, but they will also be correctly identified as unhashable when checking isinstance(obj, collections.Hashable) (unlike classes which define their own __hash__() to explicitly raise TypeError).

How to export database schema in Oracle to a dump file

It depends on which version of Oracle? Older versions require exp (export), newer versions use expdp (data pump); exp was deprecated but still works most of the time.

Before starting, note that Data Pump exports to the server-side Oracle "directory", which is an Oracle symbolic location mapped in the database to a physical location. There may be a default directory (DATA_PUMP_DIR), check by querying DBA_DIRECTORIES:

  SQL> select * from dba_directories;

... and if not, create one

  SQL> create directory DATA_PUMP_DIR as '/oracle/dumps';
  SQL> grant all on directory DATA_PUMP_DIR to myuser;    -- DBAs dont need this grant

Assuming you can connect as the SYSTEM user, or another DBA, you can export any schema like so, to the default directory:

 $ expdp system/manager schemas=user1 dumpfile=user1.dpdmp

Or specifying a specific directory, add directory=<directory name>:

 C:\> expdp system/manager schemas=user1 dumpfile=user1.dpdmp directory=DUMPDIR

With older export utility, you can export to your working directory, and even on a client machine that is remote from the server, using:

 $ exp system/manager owner=user1 file=user1.dmp

Make sure the export is done in the correct charset. If you haven't setup your environment, the Oracle client charset may not match the DB charset, and Oracle will do charset conversion, which may not be what you want. You'll see a warning, if so, then you'll want to repeat the export after setting NLS_LANG environment variable so the client charset matches the database charset. This will cause Oracle to skip charset conversion.

Example for American UTF8 (UNIX):

 $ export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

Windows uses SET, example using Japanese UTF8:

 C:\> set NLS_LANG=Japanese_Japan.AL32UTF8

What is the difference between a .cpp file and a .h file?

A good rule of thumb is ".h files should have declarations [potentially] used by multiple source files, but no code that gets run."

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

As you can see, the code public Circle(double r).... how is that different from what I did in mine with public CircleR(double r)? For whatever reason, no error is given in the code from the book, however mine says there is an error there.

When defining constructors of a class, they should have the same name as its class. Thus the following code

public class Circle
{ 
    //This part is called the constructor and lets us specify the radius of a  
    //particular circle. 
  public Circle(double r) 
  { 
   radius = r; 
  }
 ....
} 

is correct while your code

public class Circle
{
    private double radius;
    public CircleR(double r)
    {
        radius = r;
    }
    public diameter()
    {
       double d = radius * 2;
       return d;
    }
}

is wrong because your constructor has different name from its class. You could either follow the same code from the book and change your constructor from

public CircleR(double r) 

to

public Circle(double r)

or (if you really wanted to name your constructor as CircleR) rename your class to CircleR.

So your new class should be

public class CircleR
{
    private double radius;
    public CircleR(double r)
    {
        radius = r;
    }
    public double diameter()
    {
       double d = radius * 2;
       return d;
    }
}

I also added the return type double in your method as pointed out by Froyo and John B.

Refer to this article about constructors.

Why does configure say no C compiler found when GCC is installed?

Sometime gcc had created as /usr/bin/gcc32. so please create a ln -s /usr/bin/gcc32 /usr/bin/gcc and then compile that ./configure.

how to convert numeric to nvarchar in sql command

When should use Readonly and Get only properties

Methods suggest something has to happen to return the value, properties suggest that the value is already there. This is a rule of thumb, sometimes you might want a property that does a little work (i.e. Count), but generally it's a useful way to decide.

What are the time complexities of various data structures?

Arrays

  • Set, Check element at a particular index: O(1)
  • Searching: O(n) if array is unsorted and O(log n) if array is sorted and something like a binary search is used,
  • As pointed out by Aivean, there is no Delete operation available on Arrays. We can symbolically delete an element by setting it to some specific value, e.g. -1, 0, etc. depending on our requirements
  • Similarly, Insert for arrays is basically Set as mentioned in the beginning

ArrayList:

  • Add: Amortized O(1)
  • Remove: O(n)
  • Contains: O(n)
  • Size: O(1)

Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Doubly-Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Stack:

  • Push: O(1)
  • Pop: O(1)
  • Top: O(1)
  • Search (Something like lookup, as a special operation): O(n) (I guess so)

Queue/Deque/Circular Queue:

  • Insert: O(1)
  • Remove: O(1)
  • Size: O(1)

Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(n)

Red-Black Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(log n)

Heap/PriorityQueue (min/max):

  • Find Min/Find Max: O(1)
  • Insert: O(log n)
  • Delete Min/Delete Max: O(log n)
  • Extract Min/Extract Max: O(log n)
  • Lookup, Delete (if at all provided): O(n), we will have to scan all the elements as they are not ordered like BST

HashMap/Hashtable/HashSet:

  • Insert/Delete: O(1) amortized
  • Re-size/hash: O(n)
  • Contains: O(1)

Freeing up a TCP/IP port?

You can use tcpkill (part of the dsniff package) to kill the connection that's on the port you need:

sudo tcpkill -9 port PORT_NUMBER

How do I run two commands in one line in Windows CMD?

A number of processing symbols can be used when running several commands on the same line, and may lead to processing redirection in some cases, altering output in other case, or just fail. One important case is placing on the same line commands that manipulate variables.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set count=0
set "count=1" & echo %count% !count!

0 1

As you see in the above example, when commands using variables are placed on the same line, you must use delayed expansion to update your variable values. If your variable is indexed, use CALL command with %% modifiers to update its value on the same line:

set "i=5" & set "arg!i!=MyFile!i!" & call echo path!i!=%temp%\%%arg!i!%%

path5=C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\MyFile5

FIND_IN_SET() vs IN()

SELECT  name
FROM    orders,company
WHERE   orderID = 1
        AND companyID IN (attachedCompanyIDs)

attachedCompanyIDs is a scalar value which is cast into INT (type of companyID).

The cast only returns numbers up to the first non-digit (a comma in your case).

Thus,

companyID IN ('1,2,3') = companyID IN (CAST('1,2,3' AS INT)) = companyID IN (1)

In PostgreSQL, you could cast the string into array (or store it as an array in the first place):

SELECT  name
FROM    orders
JOIN    company
ON      companyID = ANY (('{' | attachedCompanyIDs | '}')::INT[])
WHERE   orderID = 1

and this would even use an index on companyID.

Unfortunately, this does not work in MySQL since the latter does not support arrays.

You may find this article interesting (see #2):

Update:

If there is some reasonable limit on the number of values in the comma separated lists (say, no more than 5), so you can try to use this query:

SELECT  name
FROM    orders
CROSS JOIN
        (
        SELECT  1 AS pos
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  2 AS pos
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  3 AS pos
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  4 AS pos
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  5 AS pos
        ) q
JOIN    company
ON      companyID = CAST(NULLIF(SUBSTRING_INDEX(attachedCompanyIDs, ',', -pos), SUBSTRING_INDEX(attachedCompanyIDs, ',', 1 - pos)) AS UNSIGNED)

Why do I get PLS-00302: component must be declared when it exists?

You can get that error if you have an object with the same name as the schema. For example:

create sequence s2;

begin
  s2.a;
end;
/

ORA-06550: line 2, column 6:
PLS-00302: component 'A' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 3:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

When you refer to S2.MY_FUNC2 the object name is being resolved so it doesn't try to evaluate S2 as a schema name. When you just call it as MY_FUNC2 there is no confusion, so it works.

The documentation explains name resolution. The first piece of the qualified object name - S2 here - is evaluated as an object on the current schema before it is evaluated as a different schema.

It might not be a sequence; other objects can cause the same error. You can check for the existence of objects with the same name by querying the data dictionary.

select owner, object_type, object_name
from all_objects
where object_name = 'S2';

ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database

Very simple solution. Just rename your database and configure your new database name in your project.

The problem is the when you import your database, you got any errors and then the database will be corrupted. The log files will have the corrupted database name. You can rename your database easily using phpmyadmin for mysql.

What is the best Java email address validation method?

Another option is use the Hibernate email validator, using the annotation @Email or using the validator class programatically, like:

import org.hibernate.validator.internal.constraintvalidators.hv.EmailValidator; 

class Validator {
    // code
    private boolean isValidEmail(String email) {
        EmailValidator emailValidator = new EmailValidator();
        return emailValidator.isValid(email, null);
    }

}

How to clear all <div>s’ contents inside a parent <div>?

jQuery's empty() function does just that:

$('#masterdiv').empty();

clears the master div.

$('#masterdiv div').empty();

clears all the child divs, but leaves the master intact.

'cout' was not declared in this scope

Put the following code before int main():

using namespace std;

And you will be able to use cout.

For example:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    char t = 'f';
    char *t1;
    char **t2;
    cout<<t;        
    return 0;
}

Now take a moment and read up on what cout is and what is going on here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/cout/


Further, while its quick to do and it works, this is not exactly a good advice to simply add using namespace std; at the top of your code. For detailed correct approach, please read the answers to this related SO question.

JSON to TypeScript class instance?

The best solution I found when dealing with Typescript classes and json objects: add a constructor in your Typescript class that takes the json data as parameter. In that constructor you extend your json object with jQuery, like this: $.extend( this, jsonData). $.extend allows keeping the javascript prototypes while adding the json object's properties.

export class Foo
{
    Name: string;
    getName(): string { return this.Name };

    constructor( jsonFoo: any )
    {
        $.extend( this, jsonFoo);
    }
}

In your ajax callback, translate your jsons in a your typescript object like this:

onNewFoo( jsonFoos : any[] )
{
  let receviedFoos = $.map( jsonFoos, (json) => { return new Foo( json ); } );

  // then call a method:
  let firstFooName = receviedFoos[0].GetName();
}

If you don't add the constructor, juste call in your ajax callback:

let newFoo = new Foo();
$.extend( newFoo, jsonData);
let name = newFoo.GetName()

...but the constructor will be useful if you want to convert the children json object too. See my detailed answer here.

conflicting types for 'outchar'

In C, the order that you define things often matters. Either move the definition of outchar to the top, or provide a prototype at the top, like this:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>  void outchar(char ch);  int main() {     outchar('A');     outchar('B');     outchar('C');     return 0; }  void outchar(char ch) {     printf("%c", ch); } 

Also, you should be specifying the return type of every function. I added that for you.

PHP foreach change original array values

Use &:

foreach($arr as &$value) {
    $value = $newVal;
}

& passes a value of the array as a reference and does not create a new instance of the variable. Thus if you change the reference the original value will change.

PHP documentation for Passing by Reference

Edit 2018

This answer seems to be favored by a lot of people on the internet, which is why I decided to add more information and words of caution.
While pass by reference in foreach (or functions) is a clean and short solution, for many beginners this might be a dangerous pitfall.

  1. Loops in PHP don't have their own scope. - @Mark Amery

    This could be a serious problem when the variables are being reused in the same scope. Another SO question nicely illustrates why that might be a problem.

  2. As foreach relies on the internal array pointer in PHP 5, changing it within the loop may lead to unexpected behavior. - PHP docs for foreach.

    Unsetting a record or changing the hash value (the key) during the iteration on the same loop could lead to potentially unexpected behaviors in PHP < 7. The issue gets even more complicated when the array itself is a reference.

  3. Foreach performance.
    In general, PHP prefers pass by value due to the copy-on-write feature. It means that internally PHP will not create duplicate data unless the copy of it needs to be changed. It is debatable whether pass by reference in foreach would offer a performance improvement. As it is always the case, you need to test your specific scenario and determine which option uses less memory and CPU time. For more information see the SO post linked below by NikiC.

  4. Code readability.
    Creating references in PHP is something that quickly gets out of hand. If you are a novice and don't have full control of what you are doing, it is best to stay away from references. For more information about & operator take a look at this guide: Reference — What does this symbol mean in PHP?
    For those who want to learn more about this part of PHP language: PHP References Explained

ASP.NET Core Get Json Array using IConfiguration

If you have array of complex JSON objects like this:

{
  "MySettings": {
    "MyValues": [
      { "Key": "Key1", "Value":  "Value1" },
      { "Key": "Key2", "Value":  "Value2" }
    ]
  }
}

You can retrieve settings this way:

var valuesSection = configuration.GetSection("MySettings:MyValues");
foreach (IConfigurationSection section in valuesSection.GetChildren())
{
    var key = section.GetValue<string>("Key");
    var value = section.GetValue<string>("Value");
}

Easy way to make a confirmation dialog in Angular?

Adding more options to the answer.

You could use npm i sweetalert2

Don't forget to add the style to your angular.json

"styles": [
         ...
          "node_modules/sweetalert2/src/sweetalert2.scss"
          ]

Then just import,

// ES6 Modules or TypeScript
import Swal from 'sweetalert2'


// CommonJS
const Swal = require('sweetalert2')

Boom, you are ready to go.

Swal.fire({
  title: 'Are you sure?',
  text: 'You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!',
  icon: 'warning',
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!',
  cancelButtonText: 'No, keep it'
}).then((result) => {
  if (result.value) {
    Swal.fire(
      'Deleted!',
      'Your imaginary file has been deleted.',
      'success'
    )
  // For more information about handling dismissals please visit
  // https://sweetalert2.github.io/#handling-dismissals
  } else if (result.dismiss === Swal.DismissReason.cancel) {
    Swal.fire(
      'Cancelled',
      'Your imaginary file is safe :)',
      'error'
    )
  }
})

I do hope this helps someone.

Thanks.

How do I get the current date and time in PHP?

// Simply:
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Or:
$date = date('Y/m/d H:i:s');

// This would return the date in the following formats respectively:
$date = '2012-03-06 17:33:07';
// Or
$date = '2012/03/06 17:33:07';

/** 
 * This time is based on the default server time zone.
 * If you want the date in a different time zone,
 * say if you come from Nairobi, Kenya like I do, you can set
 * the time zone to Nairobi as shown below.
 */

date_default_timezone_set('Africa/Nairobi');

// Then call the date functions
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// Or
$date = date('Y/m/d H:i:s');

// date_default_timezone_set() function is however
// supported by PHP version 5.1.0 or above.

For a time-zone reference, see List of Supported Timezones.

JSLint says "missing radix parameter"

It always a good practice to pass radix with parseInt -

parseInt(string, radix)

For decimal -

parseInt(id.substring(id.length - 1), 10)

If the radix parameter is omitted, JavaScript assumes the following:

  • If the string begins with "0x", the radix is 16 (hexadecimal)
  • If the string begins with "0", the radix is 8 (octal). This feature is deprecated
  • If the string begins with any other value, the radix is 10 (decimal)

How to handle back button in activity

A simpler approach is to capture the Back button press and call moveTaskToBack(true) as follows:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
        moveTaskToBack(true);
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Docker - a way to give access to a host USB or serial device?

With current versions of Docker, you can use the --device flag to achieve what you want, without needing to give access to all USB devices.

For example, if you wanted to make only /dev/ttyUSB0 accessible within your Docker container, you could do something like:

docker run -t -i --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 ubuntu bash

Python, how to check if a result set is empty?

You can do like this :

count = 0
cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};"
                      "Server=serverName;"
                      "Trusted_Connection=yes;")
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute(SQL query)
for row in cursor:
    count = 1
    if true condition:
        print("True")
    else:
        print("False")
if count == 0:
    print("No Result")

Should each and every table have a primary key?

In short, no. However, you need to keep in mind that certain client access CRUD operations require it. For future proofing, I tend to always utilize primary keys.

Error when using scp command "bash: scp: command not found"

Make sure the scp command is available on both sides - both on the client and on the server.

If this is Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux and clones (CentOS), make sure this package is installed:

    yum -y install openssh-clients

If you work with Debian or Ubuntu and clones, install this package:

    apt-get install openssh-client

Again, you need to do this both on the server and the client, otherwise you can encounter "weird" error messages on your client: scp: command not found or similar although you have it locally. This already confused thousands of people, I guess :)

PHP - Session destroy after closing browser

If you want to change the session id on each log in, make sure to use session_regenerate_id(true) during the log in process.

CSS: image link, change on hover

You could do the following, without needing CSS...

<a href="ENTER_DESTINATION_URL"><img src="URL_OF_FIRST_IMAGE_SOURCE" onmouseover="this.src='URL_OF_SECOND_IMAGE_SOURCE'" onmouseout="this.src='URL_OF_FIRST_IMAGE_SOURCE_AGAIN'" /></a>

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/jord8on/k1zsfqyk/

This solution was PERFECT for my needs! I found this solution here.

Disclaimer: Having a solution that is possible without CSS is important to me because I design content on the Jive-x cloud community platform which does not give us access to global CSS.

How to measure time elapsed on Javascript?

The Date documentation states that :

The JavaScript date is based on a time value that is milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970, UTC

Click on start button then on end button. It will show you the number of seconds between the 2 clicks.

The milliseconds diff is in variable timeDiff. Play with it to find seconds/minutes/hours/ or what you need

_x000D_
_x000D_
var startTime, endTime;_x000D_
_x000D_
function start() {_x000D_
  startTime = new Date();_x000D_
};_x000D_
_x000D_
function end() {_x000D_
  endTime = new Date();_x000D_
  var timeDiff = endTime - startTime; //in ms_x000D_
  // strip the ms_x000D_
  timeDiff /= 1000;_x000D_
_x000D_
  // get seconds _x000D_
  var seconds = Math.round(timeDiff);_x000D_
  console.log(seconds + " seconds");_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<button onclick="start()">Start</button>_x000D_
_x000D_
<button onclick="end()">End</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

OR another way of doing it for modern browser

Using performance.now() which returns a value representing the time elapsed since the time origin. This value is a double with microseconds in the fractional.

The time origin is a standard time which is considered to be the beginning of the current document's lifetime.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var startTime, endTime;_x000D_
_x000D_
function start() {_x000D_
  startTime = performance.now();_x000D_
};_x000D_
_x000D_
function end() {_x000D_
  endTime = performance.now();_x000D_
  var timeDiff = endTime - startTime; //in ms _x000D_
  // strip the ms _x000D_
  timeDiff /= 1000; _x000D_
  _x000D_
  // get seconds _x000D_
  var seconds = Math.round(timeDiff);_x000D_
  console.log(seconds + " seconds");_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<button onclick="start()">Start</button>_x000D_
<button onclick="end()">End</button>

How to find the number of days between two dates

As @Forte L. mentioned you can do the following as well;

SELECT dtCreated
    , bActive
    , dtLastPaymentAttempt
    , dtLastUpdated
    , dtLastVisit

    , DATEDIFF(day, dtCreated, dtLastUpdated) Difference

FROM Customers
WHERE (bActive = 'true') 
    AND (dtLastUpdated > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2012-01-0100:00:00', 102))

Based on Gunther's answer, it seems like in code_editor.xml they're planning to enable a dark mode at some point down the road. What was once fore-color has now been split into fore-color-light and fore-color-dark. Likewise with back-color.

Here's how to get a dark editor (not whole application theme) based on the Monokai colours provided graciously by elMestre:

<!-- 
dark-gray:         #282828;
brown-gray:        #49483E;
gray:              #888888;
light-gray:        #CCCCCC;
ghost-white:       #F8F8F0;
light-ghost-white: #F8F8F2;
yellow:            #E6DB74;

How can I declare optional function parameters in JavaScript?

With ES6: This is now part of the language:

function myFunc(a, b = 0) {
   // function body
}

Please keep in mind that ES6 checks the values against undefined and not against truthy-ness (so only real undefined values get the default value - falsy values like null will not default).


With ES5:

function myFunc(a,b) {
  b = b || 0;

  // b will be set either to b or to 0.
}

This works as long as all values you explicitly pass in are truthy. Values that are not truthy as per MiniGod's comment: null, undefined, 0, false, ''

It's pretty common to see JavaScript libraries to do a bunch of checks on optional inputs before the function actually starts.

Deprecated Java HttpClient - How hard can it be?

Examples from Apache use this:

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();

The class org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients is there since version 4.3.

The code for HttpClients.createDefault() is the same as the accepted answer in here.

What is stability in sorting algorithms and why is it important?

A stable sorting algorithm is the one that sorts the identical elements in their same order as they appear in the input, whilst unstable sorting may not satisfy the case. - I thank my algorithm lecturer Didem Gozupek to have provided insight into algorithms.

Stable Sorting Algorithms:

  • Insertion Sort
  • Merge Sort
  • Bubble Sort
  • Tim Sort
  • Counting Sort
  • Block Sort
  • Quadsort
  • Library Sort
  • Cocktail shaker Sort
  • Gnome Sort
  • Odd–even Sort

Unstable Sorting Algorithms:

  • Heap sort
  • Selection sort
  • Shell sort
  • Quick sort
  • Introsort (subject to Quicksort)
  • Tree sort
  • Cycle sort
  • Smoothsort
  • Tournament sort(subject to Hesapsort)

What is the equivalent of the C# 'var' keyword in Java?

Lombok supports var but it's still classified as experimental:

import lombok.experimental.var;

var number = 1; // Inferred type: int
number = 2; // Legal reassign since var is not final
number = "Hi"; // Compilation error since a string cannot be assigned to an int variable
System.out.println(number);

Here is a pitfall to avoid when trying to use it in IntelliJ IDEA. It appears to work as expected though including auto completion and everything. Until there is a "non-hacky" solution (e.g. due to JEP 286: Local-Variable Type Inference), this might be your best bet right now.

Note that val is support by Lombok as well without modifying or creating a lombok.config.

Set Colorbar Range in matplotlib

Using vmin and vmax forces the range for the colors. Here's an example:

enter image description here

import matplotlib as m
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

cdict = {
  'red'  :  ( (0.0, 0.25, .25), (0.02, .59, .59), (1., 1., 1.)),
  'green':  ( (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), (0.02, .45, .45), (1., .97, .97)),
  'blue' :  ( (0.0, 1.0, 1.0), (0.02, .75, .75), (1., 0.45, 0.45))
}

cm = m.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap('my_colormap', cdict, 1024)

x = np.arange(0, 10, .1)
y = np.arange(0, 10, .1)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)

data = 2*( np.sin(X) + np.sin(3*Y) )

def do_plot(n, f, title):
    #plt.clf()
    plt.subplot(1, 3, n)
    plt.pcolor(X, Y, f(data), cmap=cm, vmin=-4, vmax=4)
    plt.title(title)
    plt.colorbar()

plt.figure()
do_plot(1, lambda x:x, "all")
do_plot(2, lambda x:np.clip(x, -4, 0), "<0")
do_plot(3, lambda x:np.clip(x, 0, 4), ">0")
plt.show()

repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element or in -DaltDep loymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter

The issue is fixed by adding repository url under distributionManagement tab in main pom.xml.

    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
        <id>snapshots</id>
        <url>http://domain:port/content/repositories/snapshots</url>

How to make Firefox headless programmatically in Selenium with Python?

Just a note for people who may have found this later (and want java way of achieving this); FirefoxOptions is also capable of enabling the headless mode:

FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
firefoxOptions.setHeadless(true);

Find element in List<> that contains a value

Using function Find is cleaner way.

MyClass item = MyList.Find(item => item.name == "foo");
if (item != null) // check item isn't null
{
 ....
}

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;

How to use an image for the background in tkinter?

You can use the root.configure(background='your colour') example:- import tkinter root=tkiner.Tk() root.configure(background='pink')

How to do a batch insert in MySQL

From the MySQL manual

INSERT statements that use VALUES syntax can insert multiple rows. To do this, include multiple lists of column values, each enclosed within parentheses and separated by commas. Example:

INSERT INTO tbl_name (a,b,c) VALUES(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9);

Git - Won't add files?

Silly solution from me, but I thought that it wasn't adding and pushing new files because github.com wasn't showing the files I had just pushed. I had forgotten that the files I added were on a different branch. The files had push just fine. I had to switch from my master branch to the new branch in github to see them. Lost a few minutes on that one :)

Errno 13 Permission denied Python

For future searchers, if none of the above worked, for me, python was trying to open a folder as a file.

CSS Input field text color of inputted text

If you want the placeholder text to be red you need to target it specifically in CSS.

Write:

input::placeholder{
  color: #f00;
}

Creating a system overlay window (always on top)

Here is some simple solution, All you need is to inflate XML layout just like you do on list adapters, just make XML layout to inflate it. Here is code that all you need.

 public class HUD extends Service {
    View mView;

    LayoutInflater inflate;
    TextView t;
    Button b;

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

        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"onCreate", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


        WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

        Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();  get phone display size
        int width = display.getWidth();  // deprecated - get phone display width
        int height = display.getHeight(); // deprecated - get phone display height 


        WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                width, 
                height,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
                |WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
                |WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH,
                 PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);


        params.gravity = Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.CENTER;
        params.setTitle("Load Average");

        inflate = (LayoutInflater) getBaseContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        mView = inflate.inflate(R.layout.canvas, null);

        b =  (Button) mView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
        t = (TextView) mView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            t.setText("yes you click me ");
        }
       });

        wm.addView(mView, params);

        }



    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

}

Adding a custom header to HTTP request using angular.js

Basic authentication using HTTP POST method:

$http({
    method: 'POST',
    url: '/API/authenticate',
    data: 'username=' + username + '&password=' + password + '&email=' + email,
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "X-Login-Ajax-call": 'true'
    }
}).then(function(response) {
    if (response.data == 'ok') {
        // success
    } else {
        // failed
    }
});

...and GET method call with header:

$http({
    method: 'GET',
    url: '/books',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic d2VudHdvcnRobWFuOkNoYW5nZV9tZQ==',
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        "X-Login-Ajax-call": 'true'
    }
}).then(function(response) {
    if (response.data == 'ok') {
        // success
    } else {
        // failed
    }
});

Filter Excel pivot table using VBA

You could check this if you like. :)

Use this code if SavedFamilyCode is in the Report Filter:

 Sub FilterPivotTable()
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").ManualUpdate = True

   ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("SavedFamilyCode").ClearAllFilters

   ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("SavedFamilyCode").CurrentPage = _
      "K123223"

  ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").ManualUpdate = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  End Sub

But if the SavedFamilyCode is in the Column or Row Labels use this code:

 Sub FilterPivotTable()
     Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").ManualUpdate = True

      ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("SavedFamilyCode").ClearAllFilters

      ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("SavedFamilyCode").PivotFilters. _
    Add Type:=xlCaptionEquals, Value1:="K123223"

  ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").ManualUpdate = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  End Sub

Hope this helps you.

Playing a video in VideoView in Android

My guess is that your video is incompatible with Android. Try it with a different video. This one definitely works used to work with Android (but does not on newer devices, for some reason). If that video works, and yours does not, then your video is not compatible with Android.

As others have indicated, please test this on a device. Video playback on the emulator requires too much power.

UPDATE 2020-02-18: https://law.duke.edu/cspd/contest/videos/Framed-Contest_Documentaries-and-You.mp4 is an MP4 of the same content, but I have no idea if it is the same actual MP4 as I previously linked to.

How do I launch the Android emulator from the command line?

Open command prompt and go to <android-Home>\sdk\tools>emulator -avd <AVD_NAME>

Here "emulator" is the command used to open your Android Virtual Device.

Shell - Write variable contents to a file

Use the echo command:

var="text to append";
destdir=/some/directory/path/filename

if [ -f "$destdir" ]
then 
    echo "$var" > "$destdir"
fi

The if tests that $destdir represents a file.

The > appends the text after truncating the file. If you only want to append the text in $var to the file existing contents, then use >> instead:

echo "$var" >> "$destdir"

The cp command is used for copying files (to files), not for writing text to a file.

How to display the first few characters of a string in Python?

You can 'slice' a string very easily, just like you'd pull items from a list:

a_string = 'This is a string'

To get the first 4 letters:

first_four_letters = a_string[:4]
>>> 'This'

Or the last 5:

last_five_letters = a_string[-5:]
>>> 'string'

So applying that logic to your problem:

the_string = '416d76b8811b0ddae2fdad8f4721ddbe|d4f656ee006e248f2f3a8a93a8aec5868788b927|12a5f648928f8e0b5376d2cc07de8e4cbf9f7ccbadb97d898373f85f0a75c47f '
first_32_chars = the_string[:32]
>>> 416d76b8811b0ddae2fdad8f4721ddbe

PostgreSQL return result set as JSON array?

TL;DR

SELECT json_agg(t) FROM t

for a JSON array of objects, and

SELECT
    json_build_object(
        'a', json_agg(t.a),
        'b', json_agg(t.b)
    )
FROM t

for a JSON object of arrays.

List of objects

This section describes how to generate a JSON array of objects, with each row being converted to a single object. The result looks like this:

[{"a":1,"b":"value1"},{"a":2,"b":"value2"},{"a":3,"b":"value3"}]

9.3 and up

The json_agg function produces this result out of the box. It automatically figures out how to convert its input into JSON and aggregates it into an array.

SELECT json_agg(t) FROM t

There is no jsonb (introduced in 9.4) version of json_agg. You can either aggregate the rows into an array and then convert them:

SELECT to_jsonb(array_agg(t)) FROM t

or combine json_agg with a cast:

SELECT json_agg(t)::jsonb FROM t

My testing suggests that aggregating them into an array first is a little faster. I suspect that this is because the cast has to parse the entire JSON result.

9.2

9.2 does not have the json_agg or to_json functions, so you need to use the older array_to_json:

SELECT array_to_json(array_agg(t)) FROM t

You can optionally include a row_to_json call in the query:

SELECT array_to_json(array_agg(row_to_json(t))) FROM t

This converts each row to a JSON object, aggregates the JSON objects as an array, and then converts the array to a JSON array.

I wasn't able to discern any significant performance difference between the two.

Object of lists

This section describes how to generate a JSON object, with each key being a column in the table and each value being an array of the values of the column. It's the result that looks like this:

{"a":[1,2,3], "b":["value1","value2","value3"]}

9.5 and up

We can leverage the json_build_object function:

SELECT
    json_build_object(
        'a', json_agg(t.a),
        'b', json_agg(t.b)
    )
FROM t

You can also aggregate the columns, creating a single row, and then convert that into an object:

SELECT to_json(r)
FROM (
    SELECT
        json_agg(t.a) AS a,
        json_agg(t.b) AS b
    FROM t
) r

Note that aliasing the arrays is absolutely required to ensure that the object has the desired names.

Which one is clearer is a matter of opinion. If using the json_build_object function, I highly recommend putting one key/value pair on a line to improve readability.

You could also use array_agg in place of json_agg, but my testing indicates that json_agg is slightly faster.

There is no jsonb version of the json_build_object function. You can aggregate into a single row and convert:

SELECT to_jsonb(r)
FROM (
    SELECT
        array_agg(t.a) AS a,
        array_agg(t.b) AS b
    FROM t
) r

Unlike the other queries for this kind of result, array_agg seems to be a little faster when using to_jsonb. I suspect this is due to overhead parsing and validating the JSON result of json_agg.

Or you can use an explicit cast:

SELECT
    json_build_object(
        'a', json_agg(t.a),
        'b', json_agg(t.b)
    )::jsonb
FROM t

The to_jsonb version allows you to avoid the cast and is faster, according to my testing; again, I suspect this is due to overhead of parsing and validating the result.

9.4 and 9.3

The json_build_object function was new to 9.5, so you have to aggregate and convert to an object in previous versions:

SELECT to_json(r)
FROM (
    SELECT
        json_agg(t.a) AS a,
        json_agg(t.b) AS b
    FROM t
) r

or

SELECT to_jsonb(r)
FROM (
    SELECT
        array_agg(t.a) AS a,
        array_agg(t.b) AS b
    FROM t
) r

depending on whether you want json or jsonb.

(9.3 does not have jsonb.)

9.2

In 9.2, not even to_json exists. You must use row_to_json:

SELECT row_to_json(r)
FROM (
    SELECT
        array_agg(t.a) AS a,
        array_agg(t.b) AS b
    FROM t
) r

Documentation

Find the documentation for the JSON functions in JSON functions.

json_agg is on the aggregate functions page.

Design

If performance is important, ensure you benchmark your queries against your own schema and data, rather than trust my testing.

Whether it's a good design or not really depends on your specific application. In terms of maintainability, I don't see any particular problem. It simplifies your app code and means there's less to maintain in that portion of the app. If PG can give you exactly the result you need out of the box, the only reason I can think of to not use it would be performance considerations. Don't reinvent the wheel and all.

Nulls

Aggregate functions typically give back NULL when they operate over zero rows. If this is a possibility, you might want to use COALESCE to avoid them. A couple of examples:

SELECT COALESCE(json_agg(t), '[]'::json) FROM t

Or

SELECT to_jsonb(COALESCE(array_agg(t), ARRAY[]::t[])) FROM t

Installing jdk8 on ubuntu- "unable to locate package" update doesn't fix

For those who had trouble with the apt-get, or with the long instruction. I solved it in a relatively painless way.

  1. Download the installer from here, or direct download link
  2. $ sudo dpkg -i oracle-java8-installer_8u51+8u51arm-1-webupd8-0_all.deb

When to use React setState callback

The 1. usecase which comes into my mind, is an api call, which should't go into the render, because it will run for each state change. And the API call should be only performed on special state change, and not on every render.

changeSearchParams = (params) => {
  this.setState({ params }, this.performSearch)
} 

performSearch = () => {
  API.search(this.state.params, (result) => {
    this.setState({ result })
  });
}

Hence for any state change, an action can be performed in the render methods body.

Very bad practice, because the render-method should be pure, it means no actions, state changes, api calls, should be performed, just composite your view and return it. Actions should be performed on some events only. Render is not an event, but componentDidMount for example.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'D:\...\MyProj.exe'

Like Jonathan said, yes, renaming can help to work around this problem. But ,e.g. I was forced to rename target executable many times, it's some tedious and not good.

The problem lies there that when you run your project and later get an error that you can't build your project - it's so because this executable (your project) is still runnning (you can check it via task manager.) If you just rename target build, some time later you will get the same error with new name too and if you open a task manager, you will see that you rubbish system with your not finished projects.

Visual studio for making a new build need to remove previous executable and create new instead of old, it can't do it while executable is still runinng. So, if you want to make a new build, process of old executable has to be closed! (it's strange that visual studio doesn't close it by itself and yes, it looks like some buggy behaviour).

enter image description here

It's some tedious to do it manually, so you may just a bat file and just click it when you have such problem:

taskkill /f /im name_of_target_executable.exe

it works for me at least. Like a guess - I don't close my program properly in C++, so may be it's normal for visual studio to hold it running.

ADDITION: There is a great chance to be so , because of not finished application. Check whether you called PostQuitMessage in the end, in order to give know Windows that you are done.

is there a css hack for safari only NOT chrome?

https://stackoverflow.com/a/17637937/3174065 it is answered here though this method does use some JS. if used, be sure to put the js in the footer, the body has to be fully loaded for this to fire properly, when placed in the head it errors because it fires before the body is loaded.

it then adds a .safari class to the body, but only in safari, making targeting the css very easy.

memcpy() vs memmove()

The code given in the links http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/memcpy for memcpy seems to confuse me a bit, as it does not give the same output when I implemented it using the below example.

#include <memory.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char str1[11] = "abcdefghij";

void *memcpyCustom(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
    char *dp = (char *)dest;
    const char *sp = (char *)src;
    while (n--)
        *dp++ = *sp++;
    return dest;
}

void *memmoveCustom(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
    unsigned char *pd = (unsigned char *)dest;
    const unsigned char *ps = (unsigned char *)src;
    if ( ps < pd )
        for (pd += n, ps += n; n--;)
            *--pd = *--ps;
    else
        while(n--)
            *pd++ = *ps++;
    return dest;
}

int main( void )
{
    printf( "The string: %s\n", str1 );
    memcpy( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Actual memcpy output: %s\n", str1 );

    strcpy_s( str1, sizeof(str1), "abcdefghij" );   // reset string

    memcpyCustom( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Implemented memcpy output: %s\n", str1 );

    strcpy_s( str1, sizeof(str1), "abcdefghij" );   // reset string

    memmoveCustom( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Implemented memmove output: %s\n", str1 );
    getchar();
}

Output :

The string: abcdefghij
Actual memcpy output: aabcdefghi
Implemented memcpy output: aaaaaaaaaa
Implemented memmove output: aabcdefghi

But you can now understand why memmove will take care of overlapping issue.

How to use MySQL DECIMAL?

DOUBLE columns are not the same as DECIMAL columns, and you will get in trouble if you use DOUBLE columns for financial data.

DOUBLE is actually just a double precision (64 bit instead of 32 bit) version of FLOAT. Floating point numbers are approximate representations of real numbers and they are not exact. In fact, simple numbers like 0.01 do not have an exact representation in FLOAT or DOUBLE types.

DECIMAL columns are exact representations, but they take up a lot more space for a much smaller range of possible numbers. To create a column capable of holding values from 0.0001 to 99.9999 like you asked you would need the following statement

CREATE TABLE your_table
(
    your_column DECIMAL(6,4) NOT NULL
);

The column definition follows the format DECIMAL(M, D) where M is the maximum number of digits (the precision) and D is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point (the scale).

This means that the previous command creates a column that accepts values from -99.9999 to 99.9999. You may also create an UNSIGNED DECIMAL column, ranging from 0.0000 to 99.9999.

For more information on MySQL DECIMAL the official docs are always a great resource.

Bear in mind that all of this information is true for versions of MySQL 5.0.3 and greater. If you are using previous versions, you really should upgrade.

HttpRequest maximum allowable size in tomcat?

The full answer

1. The default (fresh install of tomcat)

When you download tomcat from their official website (of today that's tomcat version 9.0.26), all the apps you installed to tomcat can handle HTTP requests of unlimited size, given that the apps themselves do not have any limits on request size.

However, when you try to upload an app in tomcat's manager app, that app has a default war file limit of 50MB. If you're trying to install Jenkins for example which is 77 MB as ot today, it will fail.

2. Configure tomcat's per port http request size limit

Tomcat itself has size limit for each port, and this is defined in conf\server.xml. This is controlled by maxPostSize attribute of each Connector(port). If this attribute does not exist, which it is by default, there is no limit on the request size.

To add a limit to a specific port, set a byte size for the attribute. For example, the below config for the default 8080 port limits request size to 200 MB. This means that all the apps installed under port 8080 now has the size limit of 200MB

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           redirectPort="8443"
           maxPostSize="209715200" />

3. Configure app level size limit

After passing the port level size limit, you can still configure app level limit. This also means that app level limit should be less than port level limit. The limit can be done through annotation within each servlet, or in the web.xml file. Again, if this is not set at all, there is no limit on request size.

To set limit through java annotation

@WebServlet("/uploadFiles")
@MultipartConfig( fileSizeThreshold = 0, maxFileSize = 209715200, maxRequestSize = 209715200)
public class FileUploadServlet extends HttpServlet {

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        // ...
    }
}

To set limit through web.xml

<web-app>
  ...
  <servlet>
    ...
    <multipart-config>
      <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
      <max-file-size>209715200</max-file-size>
      <max-request-size>209715200</max-request-size>
    </multipart-config>
    ...
  </servlet>
  ...
</web-app>

4. Appendix - If you see file upload size error when trying to install app through Tomcat's Manager app

Tomcat's Manager app (by default localhost:8080/manager) is nothing but a default web app. By default that app has a web.xml configuration of request limit of 50MB. To install (upload) app with size greater than 50MB through this manager app, you have to change the limit. Open the manager app's web.xml file from webapps\manager\WEB-INF\web.xml and follow the above guide to change the size limit and finally restart tomcat.

MIPS: Integer Multiplication and Division

To multiply, use mult for signed multiplication and multu for unsigned multiplication. Note that the result of the multiplication of two 32-bit numbers yields a 64-number. If you want the result back in $v0 that means that you assume the result will fit in 32 bits.

The 32 most significant bits will be held in the HI special register (accessible by mfhi instruction) and the 32 least significant bits will be held in the LO special register (accessible by the mflo instruction):

E.g.:

li $a0, 5
li $a1, 3
mult $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # 32 most significant bits of multiplication to $a2
mflo $v0 # 32 least significant bits of multiplication to $v0

To divide, use div for signed division and divu for unsigned division. In this case, the HI special register will hold the remainder and the LO special register will hold the quotient of the division.

E.g.:

div $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # remainder to $a2
mflo $v0 # quotient to $v0

Good Java graph algorithm library?

JGraph from http://mmengineer.blogspot.com/2009/10/java-graph-floyd-class.html

Provides a powerfull software to work with graphs (direct or undirect). Also generates Graphivz code, you can see graphics representations. You can put your own code algorithms into pakage, for example: backtracking code. The package provide some algorithms: Dijkstra, backtracking minimun path cost, ect..

jQuery attr('onclick')

Do it the jQuery way (and fix the errors):

$('#stop').click(function() {
     $('#next').click(stopMoving);
     // ^-- missing #
});  // <-- missing );

If the element already has a click handler attached via the onclick attribute, you have to remove it:

$('#next').attr('onclick', '');

Update: As @Drackir pointed out, you might also have to call $('#next').unbind('click'); in order to remove other click handlers attached via jQuery.

But this is guessing here. As always: More information => better answers.

check if jquery has been loaded, then load it if false

Even though you may have a head appending it may not work in all browsers. This was the only method I found to work consistently.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
  document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"><\/script>');        
  } 
</script>

How to detect string which contains only spaces?

if(!str.trim()){
  console.log('string is empty or only contains spaces');
}

Removing the whitespace from a string can be done using String#trim().

To check if a string is null or undefined, one can check if the string itself is falsey, in which case it is null, undefined, or an empty string. This first check is necessary, as attempting to invoke methods on null or undefined will result in an error. To check if it contains only spaces, one can check if the string is falsey after trimming, which means that it is an empty string at that point.

if(!str || !str.trim()){
   //str is null, undefined, or contains only spaces
}

This can be simplified using the optional chaining operator.

if(!str?.trim()){
   //str is null, undefined, or contains only spaces
}

If you are certain that the variable will be a string, only the second check is necessary.

if(!str.trim()){
   console.log("str is empty or contains only spaces");
}

WordPress is giving me 404 page not found for all pages except the homepage

I had this issue not so long ago. I had reset my permalink to default or just saved it, updated themes/core to (4.7.4)/plugins, deactivated all plugins, switched to default theme, optimized database, .htaccess is already default, checked file permissions, mod_rewrite is on.

So far nothing works, what works are the posts, new page, the /contact page EXCEPT for old pages.

Basically, the pages/URLs that aren't working are:

/breeding
/training
/training/*
/breeding/*

Ultimate, I found these files in the root folder:

/breeding.php and /training.php

I renamed both files and the pages above worked.

Get error message if ModelState.IsValid fails?

Try

ModelState.Values.First().Errors[0].ErrorMessage

Difference between style = "position:absolute" and style = "position:relative"

You'll definitely want to check out this positioning article from 'A List Apart'. Helped demystify CSS positioning (which seemed insane to me, prior to this article).

PHP Try and Catch for SQL Insert

Elaborating on yasaluyari's answer I would stick with something like this:

We can just modify our mysql_query as follows:

function mysql_catchquery($query,$emsg='Error submitting the query'){
    if ($result=mysql_query($query)) return $result;
    else throw new Exception($emsg);
}

Now we can simply use it like this, some good example:

try {
    mysql_catchquery('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE a (ID int(6))');
    mysql_catchquery('insert into a values(666),(418),(93)');
    mysql_catchquery('insert into b(ID, name) select a.ID, c.name from a join c on a.ID=c.ID');
    $result=mysql_catchquery('select * from d where ID=7777777');
    while ($tmp=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { ... }
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Note how beautiful it is. Whenever any of the qq fails we gtfo with our errors. And you can also note that we don't need now to store the state of the writing queries into a $result variable for verification, because our function now handles it by itself. And the same way it handles the selects, it just assigns the result to a variable as does the normal function, yet handles the errors within itself.

Also note, we don't need to show the actual errors since they bear huge security risk, especially so with this outdated extension. That is why our default will be just fine most of the time. Yet, if we do want to notify the user for some particular query error, we can always pass the second parameter to display our custom error message.

ASP.NET MVC: Html.EditorFor and multi-line text boxes

Another way

@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment)

And in your css do this

    height: 65px;
}

That DataType dealie allows carriage returns in the data, not everybody likes those.

Pods stuck in Terminating status

The original question is "What could be the reason for this issue?" and the answer is discussed at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/51835 & https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/65569 & see https://www.bountysource.com/issues/33241128-unable-to-remove-a-stopped-container-device-or-resource-busy

Its caused by docker mount leaking into some other namespace.

You can logon to pod host to investigate.

minikube ssh
docker container ps | grep <id>
docker container stop <id> 

javac: file not found: first.java Usage: javac <options> <source files>

I had the same issue and it was to do with my file name. If you set the file location using CD in CMD, and then type DIR it will list the files in that directory. Check that the file name appears and check that the spelling and filename ending is correct.

It should be .java but mine was .java.txt. The instructions on the Java tutorials website state that you should select "Save as Type Text Documents" but for me that always adds .txt onto the end of the file name. If I change it to "Save as Type All Documents" it correctly saved the file name.

CMD DIR Example

How to create a printable Twitter-Bootstrap page

To make print view look like tablet or desktop include bootstrap as .less, not as .css and then you can overwrite bootstrap responsive classes in the end of bootstrap_variables file for example like this:

@container-sm:      1200px;
@container-md:      1200px;
@container-lg:      1200px;
@screen-sm:         0;

Don't worry about putting this variables in the end of the file. LESS supports lazy loading of variables so they will be applied.

vertical-align: middle doesn't work

Vertical align doesn't quite work the way you want it to. See: http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html

This isn't pretty, but it WILL do what you want: Vertical align behaves as expected only when used in a table cell.

http://jsfiddle.net/e8ESb/6/

There are other alternatives: You can declare things as tables or table cells within CSS to make them behave as desired, for example. Margins and positioning can sometimes be played with to get the same effect. None of the solutions are terrible pretty, though.

IF EXISTS before INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE for optimization

This largely repeats the preceding (by time) five (no, six) (no, seven) answers, but:

Yes, the IF EXISTS structure that you have by and large will double the work done by the database. While IF EXISTS will "stop" when it finds the first matching row (it doesn't need to find them all), it's still extra and ultimately pointless effort--for updates and deletes.

  • If no such row(s) exist, IF EXISTS will a full scan (table or index) to determine this.
  • If one or more such rows exist, IF EXISTS will read enough of the table/index to find the first one, and then UPDATE or DELETE will then re-read that the table to find it again and process it -- and it will read "the rest of" the table to see if there are any more to process as well. (Fast enough if properly indexed, but still.)

So either way, you'll end up reading the entire table or index at least once. But, why bother with the IF EXISTS in the first place?

UPDATE Contacs SET [Deleted] = 1 WHERE [Type] = 1 

or the similar DELETE will work fine whether or not there are any rows found to process. No rows, table scanned, nothing modified, you're done; 1+ rows, table scanned, everything that ought to be is modified, done again. One pass, no fuss, no muss, no having to worry about "did the database get changed by another user between my first query and my second query".

INSERT is the situation where it might be useful -- check if the row is present before adding it, to avoid Primary or Unique Key violations. Of course you have to worry about concurrency -- what if someone else is trying to add this row at the same time as you? Wrapping this all into a single INSERT would handle it all in an implicit transaction (remember your ACID properties!):

INSERT Contacs (col1, col2, etc) values (val1, val2, etc) where not exists (select 1 from Contacs where col1 = val1)
IF @@rowcount = 0 then <didn't insert, process accordingly>

Create excel ranges using column numbers in vba?

I really like stackPusher's ConvertToLetter function as a solution. However, in working with it I noticed several errors occurring at very specific inputs due to some flaws in the math. For example, inputting 392 returns 'N\', 418 returns 'O\', 444 returns 'P\', etc.

I reworked the function and the result produces the correct output for all input up to 703 (which is the first triple-letter column index, AAA).

Function ConvertToLetter2(iCol As Integer) As String
    Dim First As Integer
    Dim Second As Integer
    Dim FirstChar As String
    Dim SecondChar As String

    First = Int(iCol / 26)
    If First = iCol / 26 Then
        First = First - 1
    End If
    If First = 0 Then
        FirstChar = ""
    Else
        FirstChar = Chr(First + 64)
    End If

    Second = iCol Mod 26
    If Second = 0 Then
        SecondChar = Chr(26 + 64)
    Else
        SecondChar = Chr(Second + 64)
    End If

    ConvertToLetter2 = FirstChar & SecondChar

End Function

How to Correctly Use Lists in R?

Although this is a pretty old question I must say it is touching exactly the knowledge I was missing during my first steps in R - i.e. how to express data in my hand as an object in R or how to select from existing objects. It is not easy for an R novice to think "in an R box" from the very beginning.

So I myself started to use crutches below which helped me a lot to find out what object to use for what data, and basically to imagine real-world usage.

Though I not giving exact answers to the question the short text below might help the reader who just started with R and is asking similar questions.

  • Atomic vector ... I called that "sequence" for myself, no direction, just sequence of same types. [ subsets.
  • Vector ... the sequence with one direction from 2D, [ subsets.
  • Matrix ... bunch of vectors with the same length forming rows or columns, [ subsets by rows and columns, or by sequence.
  • Arrays ... layered matrices forming 3D
  • Dataframe ... a 2D table like in excel, where I can sort, add or remove rows or columns or make arit. operations with them, only after some time I truly recognized that data frame is a clever implementation of list where I can subset using [ by rows and columns, but even using [[.
  • List ... to help myself I thought about the list as of tree structure where [i] selects and returns whole branches and [[i]] returns item from the branch. And because it is tree like structure, you can even use an index sequence to address every single leaf on a very complex list using its [[index_vector]]. Lists can be simple or very complex and can mix together various types of objects into one.

So for lists you can end up with more ways how to select a leaf depending on situation like in the following example.

l <- list("aaa",5,list(1:3),LETTERS[1:4],matrix(1:9,3,3))
l[[c(5,4)]] # selects 4 from matrix using [[index_vector]] in list
l[[5]][4] # selects 4 from matrix using sequential index in matrix
l[[5]][1,2] # selects 4 from matrix using row and column in matrix

This way of thinking helped me a lot.

Lock down Microsoft Excel macro

You can check out this new product at http://hivelink.io, it allows you to properly protect your sensitive macros.

The Excel password system is extremely weak - you can crack it in 2 minutes just using a basic HEX editor. I wouldn't recommend relying on this to protect anything.

I wrote an extensive post on this topic here: Protecting Code in an Excel Workbook?

How to get the number of characters in a std::string?

When dealing with C++ strings (std::string), you're looking for length() or size(). Both should provide you with the same value. However when dealing with C-Style strings, you would use strlen().

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   std::string str = "Hello!";
   const char *otherstr = "Hello!"; // C-Style string
   std::cout << str.size() << std::endl;
   std::cout << str.length() << std::endl;
   std::cout << strlen(otherstr) << std::endl; // C way for string length
   std::cout << strlen(str.c_str()) << std::endl; // convert C++ string to C-string then call strlen
   return 0;
}

Output:

6
6
6

What are native methods in Java and where should they be used?

What are native methods in Java and where should they be used?

Once you see a small example, it becomes clear:

Main.java:

public class Main {
    public native int intMethod(int i);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.loadLibrary("Main");
        System.out.println(new Main().intMethod(2));
    }
}

Main.c:

#include <jni.h>
#include "Main.h"

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_Main_intMethod(
    JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jint i) {
  return i * i;
}

Compile and run:

javac Main.java
javah -jni Main
gcc -shared -fpic -o libMain.so -I${JAVA_HOME}/include \
  -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/linux Main.c
java -Djava.library.path=. Main

Output:

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with Oracle JDK 1.8.0_45.

So it is clear that it allows you to:

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

This could be used to:

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

with the tradeoff of lower portability.

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

How to check if MySQL returns null/empty?

select FOUND_ROWS();

will return no. of records selected by select query.

MySQL maximum memory usage

Database memory usage is a complex topic. The MySQL Performance Blog does a good job of covering your question, and lists many reasons why it's hugely impractical to "reserve" memory.

If you really want to impose a hard limit, you could do so, but you'd have to do it at the OS level as there is no built-in setting. In linux, you could utilize ulimit, but you'd likely have to modify the way MySQL starts in order to impose this.


The best solution is to tune your server down, so that a combination of the usual MySQL memory settings will result in generally lower memory usage by your MySQL installation. This will of course have a negative impact on the performance of your database, but some of the settings you can tweak in my.ini are:

key_buffer_size
query_cache_size
query_cache_limit
table_cache
max_connections
tmp_table_size
innodb_buffer_pool_size

I'd start there and see if you can get the results you want. There are many articles out there about adjusting MySQL memory settings.


Edit:

Note that some variable names have changed in the newer 5.1.x releases of MySQL.

For example:

table_cache

Is now:

table_open_cache

How to convert an array of strings to an array of floats in numpy?

If you have (or create) a single string, you can use np.fromstring:

import numpy as np
x = ["1.1", "2.2", "3.2"]
x = ','.join(x)
x = np.fromstring( x, dtype=np.float, sep=',' )

Note, x = ','.join(x) transforms the x array to string '1.1, 2.2, 3.2'. If you read a line from a txt file, each line will be already a string.

jQuery get values of checked checkboxes into array

I refactored your code a bit and believe I came with the solution for which you were looking. Basically instead of setting searchIDs to be the result of the .map() I just pushed the values into an array.

$("#merge_button").click(function(event){
  event.preventDefault();

  var searchIDs = [];

  $("#find-table input:checkbox:checked").map(function(){
    searchIDs.push($(this).val());
  });

  console.log(searchIDs);
});

I created a fiddle with the code running.

How do I set vertical space between list items?

<br>between <li></li> line entries seems to work perfectly well in all web browsers that I've tried, but it fails to pass the on-line W3C CSS3 checker.

As far as I am concerned, since it undoubtedly works, I am persisting in using it, whatever W3C says, until someone can come up with a good legal alternative.

Do you recommend using semicolons after every statement in JavaScript?

JavaScript automatically inserts semicolons whilst interpreting your code, so if you put the value of the return statement below the line, it won't be returned:

Your Code:

return

JavaScript Interpretation:

return;
5;

Thus, nothing is returned, because of JavaScript's auto semicolon insertion

which was installed along with WinScp. I changed the pointing to use default ssh.exe which comes with git-scm "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe"

How do I raise an exception in Rails so it behaves like other Rails exceptions?

You can do it like this:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  ## Exception Handling
  class NotActivated < StandardError
  end

  rescue_from NotActivated, :with => :not_activated

  def not_activated(exception)
    flash[:notice] = "This user is not activated."
    Event.new_event "Exception: #{exception.message}", current_user, request.remote_ip
    redirect_to "/"
  end

  def show
      // Do something that fails..
      raise NotActivated unless @user.is_activated?
  end
end

What you're doing here is creating a class "NotActivated" that will serve as Exception. Using raise, you can throw "NotActivated" as an Exception. rescue_from is the way of catching an Exception with a specified method (not_activated in this case). Quite a long example, but it should show you how it works.

How to resolve git error: "Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind"

If you have already made some commits, you can do the following

git pull --rebase

This will place all your local commits on top of newly pulled changes.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS: this will probably overwrite all your present files with the files as they are at the head of the branch in the remote repo! If this happens and you didn't want it to you can UNDO THIS CHANGE with

git rebase --abort 

... naturally you have to do that before doing any new commits!

Javascript objects: get parent

when I load in a json object I usually setup the relationships by iterating through the object arrays like this:

    for (var i = 0; i < some.json.objectarray.length; i++) {
        var p = some.json.objectarray[i];
        for (var j = 0; j < p.somechildarray.length; j++) {
            p.somechildarray[j].parent = p;
        }
    }

then you can access the parent object of some object in the somechildarray by using .parent

How to modify existing, unpushed commit messages?

Amending the most recent commit message

git commit --amend

will open your editor, allowing you to change the commit message of the most recent commit. Additionally, you can set the commit message directly in the command line with:

git commit --amend -m "New commit message"

…however, this can make multi-line commit messages or small corrections more cumbersome to enter.

Make sure you don't have any working copy changes staged before doing this or they will get committed too. (Unstaged changes will not get committed.)

Changing the message of a commit that you've already pushed to your remote branch

If you've already pushed your commit up to your remote branch, then - after amending your commit locally (as described above) - you'll also need to force push the commit with:

git push <remote> <branch> --force
# Or
git push <remote> <branch> -f

Warning: force-pushing will overwrite the remote branch with the state of your local one. If there are commits on the remote branch that you don't have in your local branch, you will lose those commits.

Warning: be cautious about amending commits that you have already shared with other people. Amending commits essentially rewrites them to have different SHA IDs, which poses a problem if other people have copies of the old commit that you've rewritten. Anyone who has a copy of the old commit will need to synchronize their work with your newly re-written commit, which can sometimes be difficult, so make sure you coordinate with others when attempting to rewrite shared commit history, or just avoid rewriting shared commits altogether.


Perform an interactive rebase

Another option is to use interactive rebase. This allows you to edit any message you want to update even if it's not the latest message.

In order to do a Git squash, follow these steps:

// n is the number of commits up to the last commit you want to be able to edit
git rebase -i HEAD~n

Once you squash your commits - choose the e/r for editing the message:

Enter image description here

Important note about interactive rebase

When you use git rebase -i HEAD~n there can be more than n commits. Git will "collect" all the commits in the last n commits, and if there was a merge somewhere in between that range you will see all the commits as well, so the outcome will be n + .

Good tip:

If you have to do it for more than a single branch and you might face conflicts when amending the content, set up git rerere and let Git resolve those conflicts automatically for you.


Documentation

How to Return partial view of another controller by controller?

Normally the views belong with a specific matching controller that supports its data requirements, or the view belongs in the Views/Shared folder if shared between controllers (hence the name).

"Answer" (but not recommended - see below):

You can refer to views/partial views from another controller, by specifying the full path (including extension) like:

return PartialView("~/views/ABC/XXX.cshtml", zyxmodel);

or a relative path (no extension), based on the answer by @Max Toro

return PartialView("../ABC/XXX", zyxmodel);

BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA ANYWAY

*Note: These are the only two syntax that work. not ABC\\XXX or ABC/XXX or any other variation as those are all relative paths and do not find a match.

Better Alternatives:

You can use Html.Renderpartial in your view instead, but it requires the extension as well:

Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/ControllerName/ViewName.cshtml", modeldata);

Use @Html.Partial for inline Razor syntax:

@Html.Partial("~/Views/ControllerName/ViewName.cshtml", modeldata)

You can use the ../controller/view syntax with no extension (again credit to @Max Toro):

@Html.Partial("../ControllerName/ViewName", modeldata)

Note: Apparently RenderPartial is slightly faster than Partial, but that is not important.

If you want to actually call the other controller, use:

@Html.Action("action", "controller", parameters)

Recommended solution: @Html.Action

My personal preference is to use @Html.Action as it allows each controller to manage its own views, rather than cross-referencing views from other controllers (which leads to a large spaghetti-like mess).

You would normally pass just the required key values (like any other view) e.g. for your example:

@Html.Action("XXX", "ABC", new {id = model.xyzId })

This will execute the ABC.XXX action and render the result in-place. This allows the views and controllers to remain separately self-contained (i.e. reusable).

Update Sep 2014:

I have just hit a situation where I could not use @Html.Action, but needed to create a view path based on a action and controller names. To that end I added this simple View extension method to UrlHelper so you can say return PartialView(Url.View("actionName", "controllerName"), modelData):

public static class UrlHelperExtension
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Return a view path based on an action name and controller name
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="url">Context for extension method</param>
    /// <param name="action">Action name</param>
    /// <param name="controller">Controller name</param>
    /// <returns>A string in the form "~/views/{controller}/{action}.cshtml</returns>
    public static string View(this UrlHelper url, string action, string controller)
    {
        return string.Format("~/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml", action, controller);
    }
}

Why does modern Perl avoid UTF-8 by default?

There's a truly horrifying amount of ancient code out there in the wild, much of it in the form of common CPAN modules. I've found I have to be fairly careful enabling Unicode if I use external modules that might be affected by it, and am still trying to identify and fix some Unicode-related failures in several Perl scripts I use regularly (in particular, iTiVo fails badly on anything that's not 7-bit ASCII due to transcoding issues).

Parser Error: '_Default' is not allowed here because it does not extend class 'System.Web.UI.Page' & MasterType declaration

I figured it out. The problem was that there were still some pages in the project that hadn't been converted to use "namespaces" as needed in a web application project. I guess I thought that it wouldn't compile if there were still any of those pages around, but if the page didn't reference anything from outside itself it didn't appear to squawk. So when it was saying that it didn't inherit from "System.Web.UI.Page" that was because it couldn't actually find the class "BasePage" at run time because the page itself was not in the WebApplication namespace. I went through all my pages one by one and made sure that they were properly added to the WebApplication namespace and now it not only compiles without issue, it also displays normally. yay!

what a trial converting from website to web application project can be!

CSS transition fade on hover

I recommend you to use an unordered list for your image gallery.

You should use my code unless you want the image to gain instantly 50% opacity after you hover out. You will have a smoother transition.

    String s1=sc.nextLine();
    int l=s1.length();
    int count=0;
    for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
    {
        char c=s1.charAt(i);
        if(c==' ')
        {
        System.out.println("spaces are in the position of "+i);
        System.out.println(count++);
        }
        else
        {
        System.out.println("no spaces are there");
    }

R ggplot2: stat_count() must not be used with a y aesthetic error in Bar graph

when you want to use your data existing in your data frame as y value, you must add stat = "identity" in mapping parameter. Function geom_bar have default y value. For example,

ggplot(data_country)+
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = country, y = conversion_rate), stat = "identity")

PHP Email sending BCC

You were setting BCC but then overwriting the variable with the FROM

$to = "[email protected]";
     $subject .= "".$emailSubject."";
 $headers .= "Bcc: ".$emailList."\r\n";
 $headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\n" .
     "X-Mailer: php";
     $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
     $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
 $message = '<html><body>';
 $message .= 'THE MESSAGE FROM THE FORM';

     if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
     $sent = "Your email was sent!";
     } else {
      $sent = ("Error sending email.");
     }

Python JSON serialize a Decimal object

The native option is missing so I'll add it for the next guy/gall that looks for it.

Starting on Django 1.7.x there is a built-in DjangoJSONEncoder that you can get it from django.core.serializers.json.

import json
from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder
from django.forms.models import model_to_dict

model_instance = YourModel.object.first()
model_dict = model_to_dict(model_instance)

json.dumps(model_dict, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder)

Presto!

CSS Input Type Selectors - Possible to have an "or" or "not" syntax?

CSS3 has a pseudo-class called :not()

_x000D_
_x000D_
input:not([type='checkbox']) {    
    visibility: hidden;
}
_x000D_
<p>If <code>:not()</code> is supported, you'll only see the checkbox.</p>
                                      
<ul>
  <li>text: (<input type="text">)</li>  
  <li>password (<input type="password">)</li>       
  <li>checkbox (<input type="checkbox">)</li> 
 </ul>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


Multiple selectors

As Vincent mentioned, it's possible to string multiple :not()s together:

input:not([type='checkbox']):not([type='submit'])

CSS4, which is supported in many of the latest browser releases, allows multiple selectors in a :not()

input:not([type='checkbox'],[type='submit'])

Legacy support

All modern browsers support the CSS3 syntax. At the time this question was asked, we needed a fall-back for IE7 and IE8. One option was to use a polyfill like IE9.js. Another was to exploit the cascade in CSS:

input {
   // styles for most inputs
}   

input[type=checkbox] {
  // revert back to the original style
} 

input.checkbox {
  // for completeness, this would have worked even in IE3!
} 

Counting number of words in a file

3 steps: Consume all the white spaces, check if is a line, consume all the nonwhitespace.3

while(true){
    c = inFile.read();                
    // consume whitespaces
    while(isspace(c)){ inFile.read() }
    if (c == '\n'){ numberLines++; continue; }
    while (!isspace(c)){
         numberChars++;
         c = inFile.read();
    }
    numberWords++;
}

jQuery selector for inputs with square brackets in the name attribute

If the selector is contained within a variable, the code below may be helpful:

selector_name = $this.attr('name');
//selector_name = users[0][first:name]

escaped_selector_name = selector_name.replace(/(:|\.|\[|\])/g,'\\$1');
//escaped_selector_name = users\\[0\\]\\[first\\:name\\]

In this case we prefix all special characters with double backslash.

Convert column classes in data.table

I tried several approaches.

# BY {dplyr}
data.table(ID      = c(rep("A", 5), rep("B",5)), 
           Quarter = c(1:5, 1:5), 
           value   = rnorm(10)) -> df1
df1 %<>% dplyr::mutate(ID      = as.factor(ID),
                       Quarter = as.character(Quarter))
# check classes
dplyr::glimpse(df1)
# Observations: 10
# Variables: 3
# $ ID      (fctr) A, A, A, A, A, B, B, B, B, B
# $ Quarter (chr) "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"
# $ value   (dbl) -0.07676732, 0.25376110, 2.47192852, 0.84929175, -0.13567312,  -0.94224435, 0.80213218, -0.89652819...

, or otherwise

# from list to data.table using data.table::setDT
list(ID      = as.factor(c(rep("A", 5), rep("B",5))), 
     Quarter = as.character(c(1:5, 1:5)), 
     value   = rnorm(10)) %>% setDT(list.df) -> df2
class(df2)
# [1] "data.table" "data.frame"

python plot normal distribution

Unutbu answer is correct. But because our mean can be more or less than zero I would still like to change this :

x = np.linspace(-3 * sigma, 3 * sigma, 100)

to this :

x = np.linspace(-3 * sigma + mean, 3 * sigma + mean, 100)
