Programs & Examples On #Yui compressor

YUI Compressor is a utility that can minify/compress JavaScript and/or Cascading Style Sheets to reduce the file payload size for web pages. Available in Java and .NET.

how to add <script>alert('test');</script> inside a text box?

I want to alert('test'); in an input type text but it should not execute the alert(alert prompt).

<input type="text" value="<script>alert('test');</script>" />

Produces:

enter image description here

You can do this programatically via JavaScript. First obtain a reference to the input element, then set the value attribute.

var inputElement = document.querySelector("input");
inputElement.value = "<script>alert('test');<\/script>";

How do I get the file name from a String containing the Absolute file path?

just use File.getName()

File f = new File("C:\\Hello\\AnotherFolder\\The File Name.PDF");
System.out.println(f.getName());

using String methods:

  File f = new File("C:\\Hello\\AnotherFolder\\The File Name.PDF");  
System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath().substring(f.getAbsolutePath().lastIndexOf("\\")+1));

Determine what attributes were changed in Rails after_save callback?

To anyone seeing this later on, as it currently (Aug. 2017) tops google: It is worth mentioning, that this behavior will be altered in Rails 5.2, and has deprecation warnings as of Rails 5.1, as ActiveModel::Dirty changed a bit.

What do I change?

If you're using attribute_changed? method in the after_*-callbacks, you'll see a warning like:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The behavior of attribute_changed? inside of after callbacks will be changing in the next version of Rails. The new return value will reflect the behavior of calling the method after save returned (e.g. the opposite of what it returns now). To maintain the current behavior, use saved_change_to_attribute? instead. (called from some_callback at /PATH_TO/app/models/user.rb:15)

As it mentions, you could fix this easily by replacing the function with saved_change_to_attribute?. So for example, name_changed? becomes saved_change_to_name?.

Likewise, if you're using the attribute_change to get the before-after values, this changes as well and throws the following:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The behavior of attribute_change inside of after callbacks will be changing in the next version of Rails. The new return value will reflect the behavior of calling the method after save returned (e.g. the opposite of what it returns now). To maintain the current behavior, use saved_change_to_attribute instead. (called from some_callback at /PATH_TO/app/models/user.rb:20)

Again, as it mentions, the method changes name to saved_change_to_attribute which returns ["old", "new"]. or use saved_changes, which returns all the changes, and these can be accessed as saved_changes['attribute'].

Visual studio - getting error "Metadata file 'XYZ' could not be found" after edit continue

I had same issue too.

In my case, I recently add an internal class to somewhere in project. One of the dependencies in solution has same class name and both of them are added correctly to references.

I changed my last activity and rebuild, it works.

Be sure that your compiler messages are valid. In my case I catch reference error from there, not listed as an error in Error List.

OS X Framework Library not loaded: 'Image not found'

How to convert Nonetype to int or string?

I was having the same problem using the python email functions. Below is the code I was trying to retrieve email subject into a variable. This works fine for most emails and the variable populates. If you receive an email from Yahoo or the like and the sender did no fill out the subject line Yahoo does not create a subject line in the email and you get a NoneType returned from the function. Martineau provided a correct answer as well as Soviut. IMO Soviut's answer is more concise from a programming stand point; not necessarily from a Python one. Here is some code to show the technique:

import sys, email, email.Utils 

afile = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')    
m = email.message_from_file(afile)    
subject = m["subject"]

# Soviut's Concise test for unset variable.

if subject is None:    
     subject = "[NO SUBJECT]"

# Alternative way to test for No Subject created in email (Thanks for NoneThing Yahoo!)

try:    
    if len(subject) == 0:    
        subject = "[NO SUBJECT]"

except TypeError:    
    subject = "[NO SUBJECT]"

print subject

afile.close()

HTML CSS Button Positioning

as I expected, yeah, it's because the whole DOM element is being pushed down. You have multiple options. You can put the buttons in separate divs, and float them so that they don't affect each other. the simpler solution is to just set the :active button to position:relative; and use top instead of margin or line-height. example fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5CZRP/

Change header text of columns in a GridView

On your asp.net page add the gridview

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" onrowdatabound="GridView1_RowDataBound" >
</asp:GridView>

Create a method protected void method in your c# class called GridView1_RowDataBound

as

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
    {
        e.Row.Cells[0].Text = "HeaderText";
    }
}

Everything should be working fine.

Bash: Strip trailing linebreak from output

If you want to print output of anything in Bash without end of line, you echo it with the -n switch.

If you have it in a variable already, then echo it with the trailing newline cropped:

$ testvar=$(wc -l < log.txt)
$ echo -n $testvar

Or you can do it in one line, instead:

$ echo -n $(wc -l < log.txt)

if, elif, else statement issues in Bash

You have some syntax issues with your script. Here is a fixed version:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$seconds" -eq 0 ]; then
   timezone_string="Z"
elif [ "$seconds" -gt 0 ]; then
   timezone_string=$(printf "%02d:%02d" $((seconds/3600)) $(((seconds / 60) % 60)))
else
   echo "Unknown parameter"
fi

Monitoring the Full Disclosure mailinglist

Two generic ways to do the same thing... I'm not aware of any specific open solutions to do this, but it'd be rather trivial to do.

You could write a daily or weekly cron/jenkins job to scrape the previous time period's email from the archive looking for your keyworkds/combinations. Sending a batch digest with what it finds, if anything.

But personally, I'd Setup a specific email account to subscribe to the various security lists you're interested in. Add a simple automated script to parse the new emails for various keywords or combinations of keywords, when it finds a match forward that email on to you/your team. Just be sure to keep the keywords list updated with new products you're using.

You could even do this with a gmail account and custom rules, which is what I currently do, but I have setup an internal inbox in the past with a simple python script to forward emails that were of interest.

How can I make all images of different height and width the same via CSS?

.article-img img{ 
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-style: none;
 }

You will make images size same as div and you can use bootstrap grid to manipulate div size accordingly

np.allclose(np.einsum('ijk,ikl->ijl', a,b), a@b)        # True

How to specify preference of library path?

This is an old question, but no one seems to have mentioned this.

You were getting lucky that the thing was linking at all.

You needed to change

g++ -g -Wall -o my_binary -L/my/dir -lfoo bar.cpp

to this:

g++ -g -Wall -o my_binary -L/my/dir bar.cpp -lfoo

Your linker keeps track of symbols it needs to resolve. If it reads the library first, it doesn't have any needed symbols, so it ignores the symbols in it. Specify the libraries after the things that need to link to them so that your linker has symbols to find in them.

Also, -lfoo makes it search specifically for a file named libfoo.a or libfoo.so as needed. Not libfoo.so.0. So either ln the name or rename the library as appopriate.

To quote the gcc man page:

-l library
   ...
   It makes a difference where in the command you 
   write this option; the linker searches and processes 
   libraries and object files in the order they are 
   specified.  Thus, foo.o -lz bar.o searches library z 
   after file foo.o but before bar.o.  If bar.o refers 
   to functions in z, those functions may not be loaded.

Adding the file directly to g++'s command line should have worked, unless of course, you put it prior to bar.cpp, causing the linker to ignore it for lacking any needed symbols, because no symbols were needed yet.

Is "&#160;" a replacement of "&nbsp;"?

Those do both mean non-breaking space, yes. &#xA0; is another synonym, in hex.

Force an SVN checkout command to overwrite current files

Pull from the repository to a new directory, then rename the old one to old_crufty, and the new one to my_real_webserver_directory, and you're good to go.

If your intention is that every single file is in SVN, then this is a good way to test your theory. If your intention is that some files are not in SVN, then use Brian's copy/paste technique.

Swift apply .uppercaseString to only the first letter of a string

I'm getting the first character duplicated with Kirsteins' solution. This will capitalise the first character, without seeing double:

var s: String = "hello world"
s = prefix(s, 1).capitalizedString + suffix(s, countElements(s) - 1)

I don't know whether it's more or less efficient, I just know that it gives me the desired result.

DateTime format to SQL format using C#

The correct answer was already given "use parameters". Formatting a date and passing it as a string to SQL-Server can lead to errors as it depends on the settings how the date is interpreted on the server side. In europe, we write '1.12.2012' to indicate december 1st 2012, whereas in other countries this might be treated as january 12th.

When issuing statements directly in SSMS I use the format yyyymmdd which seem to be quite general. I did not encounter any problems on the various installations I worked on so far.

There is another seldom used format, which is a bit weird but works for all versions:

select { d '2013-10-01' }

will return the first of october 2013.

select { ts '2013-10-01 13:45:01' }

will return october 1st, 1:45:01 PM

I strongly advice to use parameters and never format your own SQL code by pasting together homegrown formatted statement fragments. It is an entry for SQL injection and strange errors (formatting a float value is another potential issue)

How to convert an Image to base64 string in java?

The problem is that you are returning the toString() of the call to Base64.encodeBase64(bytes) which returns a byte array. So what you get in the end is the default string representation of a byte array, which corresponds to the output you get.

Instead, you should do:

encodedfile = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(bytes), "UTF-8");

Sending SMS from PHP

You need to subscribe to a SMS gateway. There are thousands of those (try searching with google) and they are usually not free. For example this one has support for PHP.

pandas create new column based on values from other columns / apply a function of multiple columns, row-wise

As @user3483203 pointed out, numpy.select is the best approach

Store your conditional statements and the corresponding actions in two lists

conds = [(df['eri_hispanic'] == 1),(df[['eri_afr_amer', 'eri_asian', 'eri_hawaiian', 'eri_nat_amer', 'eri_white']].sum(1).gt(1)),(df['eri_nat_amer'] == 1),(df['eri_asian'] == 1),(df['eri_afr_amer'] == 1),(df['eri_hawaiian'] == 1),(df['eri_white'] == 1,])

actions = ['Hispanic', 'Two Or More', 'A/I AK Native', 'Asian', 'Black/AA', 'Haw/Pac Isl.', 'White']

You can now use np.select using these lists as its arguments

df['label_race'] = np.select(conds,actions,default='Other')

Python iterating through object attributes

You can use the standard Python idiom, vars():

for attr, value in vars(k).items():
    print(attr, '=', value)

How to convert InputStream to FileInputStream

You need something like:

    URL resource = this.getClass().getResource("/path/to/resource.res");
    File is = null;
    try {
        is = new File(resource.toURI());
    } catch (URISyntaxException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(is);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }

But it will work only within your IDE, not in runnable JAR. I had same problem explained here.

Show dialog from fragment?

I must cautiously doubt the previously accepted answer that using a DialogFragment is the best option. The intended (primary) purpose of the DialogFragment seems to be to display fragments that are dialogs themselves, not to display fragments that have dialogs to display.

I believe that using the fragment's activity to mediate between the dialog and the fragment is the preferable option.

"Please try running this command again as Root/Administrator" error when trying to install LESS

Honestly this is bad advice from npm. An installation can run arbitrary scripts and running it with sudo can be extremely dangerous! You could do sudo npm install -g less to install it globally, but instead I would recommend updating your npm settings:

#~/.npmrc
prefix=~/.npm_modules

Then you can update your path:

#~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc, etc.
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.npm_modules/bin

Then you don't require root permissions to perform the installation and you can still use the binary.

This would only apply to your user, however. If you want the entire system to be able to use the module you would have to tell everyone to add your path. More complicated and robust solutions would include adding a folder with node modules / binaries that a group could install to and adding that to everyone's path.

Content-Disposition:What are the differences between "inline" and "attachment"?

If it is inline, the browser should attempt to render it within the browser window. If it cannot, it will resort to an external program, prompting the user.

With attachment, it will immediately go to the user, and not try to load it in the browser, whether it can or not.

How to do parallel programming in Python?

You can use the multiprocessing module. For this case I might use a processing pool:

from multiprocessing import Pool
pool = Pool()
result1 = pool.apply_async(solve1, [A])    # evaluate "solve1(A)" asynchronously
result2 = pool.apply_async(solve2, [B])    # evaluate "solve2(B)" asynchronously
answer1 = result1.get(timeout=10)
answer2 = result2.get(timeout=10)

This will spawn processes that can do generic work for you. Since we did not pass processes, it will spawn one process for each CPU core on your machine. Each CPU core can execute one process simultaneously.

If you want to map a list to a single function you would do this:

args = [A, B]
results = pool.map(solve1, args)

Don't use threads because the GIL locks any operations on python objects.

Amazon S3 exception: "The specified key does not exist"

Well this error is actually rather straight forward.  it simply means that your file does not exist up within the S3 bucket.  Several things could be wrong:

  1. You could be trying to reference the wrong file.  Double check the path that you tried to retrieve.

  2. Whenever the file was uploaded it must have failed.  Check the logs for your S3Sync process to see if you can find any relevant output

What strategies and tools are useful for finding memory leaks in .NET?

After one of my fixes for managed application I had the same thing, like how to verify that my application will not have the same memory leak after my next change, so I've wrote something like Object Release Verification framework, please take a look on the NuGet package ObjectReleaseVerification. You can find a sample here https://github.com/outcoldman/OutcoldSolutions-ObjectReleaseVerification-Sample, and information about this sample http://outcoldman.ru/en/blog/show/322

How to see remote tags?

Even without cloning or fetching, you can check the list of tags on the upstream repo with git ls-remote:

git ls-remote --tags /url/to/upstream/repo

(as illustrated in "When listing git-ls-remote why there's “^{}” after the tag name?")

xbmono illustrates in the comments that quotes are needed:

git ls-remote --tags /some/url/to/repo "refs/tags/MyTag^{}"

Note that you can always push your commits and tags in one command with (git 1.8.3+, April 2013):

git push --follow-tags

See Push git commits & tags simultaneously.


Regarding Atlassian SourceTree specifically:

Note that, from this thread, SourceTree ONLY shows local tags.

There is an RFE (Request for Enhancement) logged in SRCTREEWIN-4015 since Dec. 2015.

A simple workaround:

see a list of only unpushed tags?

git push --tags

or check the "Push all tags" box on the "Push" dialog box, all tags will be pushed to your remote.

https://community.atlassian.com/tnckb94959/attachments/tnckb94959/sourcetree-questions/10923/1/Screen%20Shot%202015-12-15%20at%208.49.48%20AM.png

That way, you will be "sure that they are present in remote so that other developers can pull them".

How to create a fix size list in python?

Python has nothing built-in to support this. Do you really need to optimize it so much as I don't think that appending will add that much overhead.

However, you can do something like l = [None] * 1000.

Alternatively, you could use a generator.

Can I run multiple versions of Google Chrome on the same machine? (Mac or Windows)

Your mileage may vary (mine sure did), but here's what worked for me (current version of Chrome as of this post is 33.x, and I was interested in 24.x)

  • Visit the Chromium repo proxy lookup site: http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/

  • In the little box called "Revision Lookup" type in the version number. This will translate it to a Subversion revision number. Keep that number in mind.

  • Visit the build repository: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html

  • Select the folder corresponding to the OS you're interested in (I have Win x64, but had to use Win,because there was no x64 build corresponding to the version I was looking for).

  • If you select Win, you could be in for a wait - as some of the pages have a lot of entries. Once the page loads, scroll to the folder containing the revision number you identified in an earlier step. If you don't find one, choose the next one up. This is a bit of trial and error to be honest - I had to back up about 50 revisions until I found a version close to the one I was looking for

  • Drill into that folder and download (on the Win version) chrome-win32.zip. That's all you need.

  • Unzip that file and then run chrome.exe

This worked for me and I'm running the latest Chrome alongside version 25, without problems (some profile issues on the older version, but that's neither here nor there). Didn't need to do anything else.

Again, YMMV, but try this solution first since it requires the least amount of tomfoolery.

How can I create a memory leak in Java?

I came across a more subtle kind of resource leak recently. We open resources via class loader's getResourceAsStream and it happened that the input stream handles were not closed.

Uhm, you might say, what an idiot.

Well, what makes this interesting is: this way, you can leak heap memory of the underlying process, rather than from JVM's heap.

All you need is a jar file with a file inside which will be referenced from Java code. The bigger the jar file, the quicker memory gets allocated.

You can easily create such a jar with the following class:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

public class BigJarCreator {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("big.jar")));
        zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("resource.txt"));
        zos.write("not too much in here".getBytes());
        zos.closeEntry();
        zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("largeFile.out"));
        for (int i=0 ; i<10000000 ; i++) {
            zos.write((int) (Math.round(Math.random()*100)+20));
        }
        zos.closeEntry();
        zos.close();
    }
}

Just paste into a file named BigJarCreator.java, compile and run it from command line:

javac BigJarCreator.java
java -cp . BigJarCreator

Et voilà: you find a jar archive in your current working directory with two files inside.

Let's create a second class:

public class MemLeak {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        int ITERATIONS=100000;
        for (int i=0 ; i<ITERATIONS ; i++) {
            MemLeak.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resource.txt");
        }
        System.out.println("finished creation of streams, now waiting to be killed");

        Thread.sleep(Long.MAX_VALUE);
    }

}

This class basically does nothing, but create unreferenced InputStream objects. Those objects will be garbage collected immediately and thus, do not contribute to heap size. It is important for our example to load an existing resource from a jar file, and size does matter here!

If you're doubtful, try to compile and start the class above, but make sure to chose a decent heap size (2 MB):

javac MemLeak.java
java -Xmx2m -classpath .:big.jar MemLeak

You will not encounter an OOM error here, as no references are kept, the application will keep running no matter how large you chose ITERATIONS in the above example. The memory consumption of your process (visible in top (RES/RSS) or process explorer) grows unless the application gets to the wait command. In the setup above, it will allocate around 150 MB in memory.

If you want the application to play safe, close the input stream right where it's created:

MemLeak.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resource.txt").close();

and your process will not exceed 35 MB, independent of the iteration count.

Quite simple and surprising.

How can I switch themes in Visual Studio 2012

For those who are using "High Contrast" windows themes but still want a regular Visual Studio theme you might notice that the theme selector drop down is disabled. You can still change it by doing the following...

  1. Going to the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\Themes (or whichever version of VS you are using)
  2. Export the key of the theme you want (it's a bunch of random letters / numbers) to a .reg file.
  3. Then copy the "high contrast" key's name (again random letters / numbers)
  4. Delete the high contrast key and then rename the dark theme to the copied name
  5. Then import the exported theme from the reg file.

This permanently sets the theme to the one you've chosen.

How to access the request body when POSTing using Node.js and Express?

If you're lazy enough to read chunks of post data. you could simply paste below lines to read json.

Below is for TypeScript similar can be done for JS as well.

app.ts

 import bodyParser from "body-parser";
 // support application/json type post data
 this.app.use(bodyParser.json());
 // support application/x-www-form-urlencoded post data
 this.app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

In one of your any controller which receives POST call use as shown below

userController.ts

 public async POSTUser(_req: Request, _res: Response) {
   try {
          const onRecord = <UserModel>_req.body;
           /* Your business logic */
           _res.status(201).send("User Created");
        }
    else{
           _res.status(500).send("Server error");
           }        
   };

_req.body should be parsing you json data into your TS Model.

CSV API for Java

Reading CSV format description makes me feel that using 3rd party library would be less headache than writing it myself:

Wikipedia lists 10 or something known libraries:

I compared libs listed using some kind of check list. OpenCSV turned out a winner to me (YMMV) with the following results:

+ maven

+ maven - release version   // had some cryptic issues at _Hudson_ with snapshot references => prefer to be on a safe side

+ code examples

+ open source   // as in "can hack myself if needed"

+ understandable javadoc   // as opposed to eg javadocs of _genjava gj-csv_

+ compact API   // YAGNI (note *flatpack* seems to have much richer API than OpenCSV)

- reference to specification used   // I really like it when people can explain what they're doing

- reference to _RFC 4180_ support   // would qualify as simplest form of specification to me

- releases changelog   // absence is quite a pity, given how simple it'd be to get with maven-changes-plugin   // _flatpack_, for comparison, has quite helpful changelog

+ bug tracking

+ active   // as in "can submit a bug and expect a fixed release soon"

+ positive feedback   // Recommended By 51 users at sourceforge (as of now)

How to add label in chart.js for pie chart

It is not necessary to use another library like newChart or use other people's pull requests to pull this off. All you have to do is define an options object and add the label wherever and however you want it in the tooltip.

var optionsPie = {
    tooltipTemplate: "<%= label %> - <%= value %>"
}

If you want the tooltip to be always shown you can make some other edits to the options:

 var optionsPie = {
        tooltipEvents: [],
        showTooltips: true,
        onAnimationComplete: function() {
            this.showTooltip(this.segments, true);
        },
        tooltipTemplate: "<%= label %> - <%= value %>"
    }

In your data items, you have to add the desired label property and value and that's all.

data = [
    {
        value: 480000,
        color:"#F7464A",
        highlight: "#FF5A5E",
        label: "Tobacco"
    }
];

Now, all you have to do is pass the options object after the data to the new Pie like this: new Chart(ctx).Pie(data,optionsPie) and you are done.

This probably works best for pies which are not very small in size.

How do I get my Maven Integration tests to run

What is the difference between an interface and abstract class?

Not really the answer to the original question, but once you have the answer to the difference between them, you will enter the when-to-use-each dilemma: When to use interfaces or abstract classes? When to use both?

I've limited knowledge of OOP, but seeing interfaces as an equivalent of an adjective in grammar has worked for me until now (correct me if this method is bogus!). For example, interface names are like attributes or capabilities you can give to a class, and a class can have many of them: ISerializable, ICountable, IList, ICacheable, IHappy, ...

SQLPLUS error:ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA

Just a small observation: you keep mentioning conn usr\pass, and this is a typo, right? Cos it should be conn usr/pass. Or is it different on a Unix based OS?

Furthermore, just to be sure: if you use tnsnames, your login string will look different from when you use the login method you started this topic out with.

tnsnames.ora should be in $ORACLE_HOME$\network\admin. That is the Oracle home on the machine from which you are trying to connect, so in your case your PC. If you have multiple oracle_homes and wish to use only one tnsnames.ora, you can set environment variable tns_admin (e.g. set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\tns), and place tnsnames.ora in that directory.

Your original method of logging on (usr/[email protected]:port/servicename) should always work. So far I think you have all the info, except for the port number, which I am sure your DBA will be able to give you. If this method still doesn't work, either the server's IP address is not available from your client, or it is a firewall issue (blocking a certain port), or something else not (directly) related to Oracle or SQL*Plus.

How do I resolve a TesseractNotFoundError?

I was also facing the same issue, just add C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR to your path variable. If it still does not work, add C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata to your path variable in a new line. And do not forget to restart your computer after adding the path variable.

How can you print a variable name in python?

If you insist, here is some horrible inspect-based solution.

import inspect, re

def varname(p):
  for line in inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe().f_back)[3]:
    m = re.search(r'\bvarname\s*\(\s*([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)\s*\)', line)
    if m:
      return m.group(1)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  spam = 42
  print varname(spam)

I hope it will inspire you to reevaluate the problem you have and look for another approach.

How to search for rows containing a substring?

Well, you can always try WHERE textcolumn LIKE "%SUBSTRING%" - but this is guaranteed to be pretty slow, as your query can't do an index match because you are looking for characters on the left side.

It depends on the field type - a textarea usually won't be saved as VARCHAR, but rather as (a kind of) TEXT field, so you can use the MATCH AGAINST operator.

To get the columns that don't match, simply put a NOT in front of the like: WHERE textcolumn NOT LIKE "%SUBSTRING%".

Whether the search is case-sensitive or not depends on how you stock the data, especially what COLLATION you use. By default, the search will be case-insensitive.

Updated answer to reflect question update:

I say that doing a WHERE field LIKE "%value%" is slower than WHERE field LIKE "value%" if the column field has an index, but this is still considerably faster than getting all values and having your application filter. Both scenario's:

1/ If you do SELECT field FROM table WHERE field LIKE "%value%", MySQL will scan the entire table, and only send the fields containing "value".

2/ If you do SELECT field FROM table and then have your application (in your case PHP) filter only the rows with "value" in it, MySQL will also scan the entire table, but send all the fields to PHP, which then has to do additional work. This is much slower than case #1.

Solution: Please do use the WHERE clause, and use EXPLAIN to see the performance.

How do I cast a JSON Object to a TypeScript class?

Use a class extended from an interface.

Then:

    Object.assign(
        new ToWhat(),
        what
    )

And best:

    Object.assign(
        new ToWhat(),
        <IDataInterface>what
    )

ToWhat becomes a controller of DataInterface

How to send redirect to JSP page in Servlet

Look at the HttpServletResponse#sendRedirect(String location) method.

Use it as:

response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/welcome.jsp")

Alternatively, look at HttpServletResponse#setHeader(String name, String value) method.

The redirection is set by adding the location header:

response.setHeader("Location", request.getContextPath() + "/welcome.jsp");

When is JavaScript synchronous?

JavaScript is single-threaded, and all the time you work on a normal synchronous code-flow execution.

Good examples of the asynchronous behavior that JavaScript can have are events (user interaction, Ajax request results, etc) and timers, basically actions that might happen at any time.

I would recommend you to give a look to the following article:

That article will help you to understand the single-threaded nature of JavaScript and how timers work internally and how asynchronous JavaScript execution works.

How do I run a PowerShell script when the computer starts?

I finally got my PowerShell script to run automatically on every startup. You will need to create two files: the first is the Powershell script (e.g. script.ps1) and the second is a .cmd file that will contain commands that will run on the command prompt (e.g. startup.cmd).

The second file is what needs to be executed when the computer starts up, and simply copy-pasting the .ps1 to the startup folder won't work, because that doesn't actually execute the script - it only opens the file with Notepad. You need to execute the .cmd which itself will execute the .ps1 using PowerShell. Ok, enough babbling and on to the steps:

  1. Create your .ps1 script and place it in a folder. I put it on my desktop for simplicity. The path would look something like this:

C:\Users\<user_name>\Desktop\script.ps1

  1. Create a .cmd file and place it in

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\startup.cmd

Doing this will execute the cmd file every time on startup. Here is a link of how to create a .cmd file if you need help.

  1. Open the .cmd file with a text editor and enter the following lines:
PowerShell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1
PowerShell C:\Users\<user_name>\Desktop\script.ps1 >> "%TEMP%\StartupLog.txt" 2>&1

This will do two things:

  1. Set the Execution Policy of your PowerShell to Unrestricted. This is needed to run scripts or else PowerShell will not do it.
  2. Use PowerShell to execute the .ps1 script found in the path specified.

This code is specifically for PowerShell v1.0. If you're running PowerShell v2.0 it might be a little different. In any case, check this source for the .cmd code.

  1. Save the .cmd file

Now that you have your .ps1 and .cmd files in their respective paths and with the script for each, you are all set.

How to delete duplicates on a MySQL table?

I think this will work by basically copying the table and emptying it then putting only the distinct values back into it but please double check it before doing it on large amounts of data.

Creates a carbon copy of your table

create table temp_table like oldtablename; insert temp_table select * from oldtablename;

Empties your original table

DELETE * from oldtablename;

Copies all distinct values from the copied table back to your original table

INSERT oldtablename SELECT * from temp_table group by firstname,lastname,dob

Deletes your temp table.

Drop Table temp_table

You need to group by aLL fields that you want to keep distinct.

PHP & MySQL: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given

$dbc is returning false. Your query has an error in it:

SELECT users.*, profile.* --You do not join with profile anywhere.
                                 FROM users 
                                 INNER JOIN contact_info 
                                 ON contact_info.user_id = users.user_id 
                                 WHERE users.user_id=3");

The fix for this in general has been described by Raveren.

How to test if a list contains another list?

Dave answer is good. But I suggest this implementation which is more efficient and doesn't use nested loops.

def contains(small_list, big_list):
    """
    Returns index of start of small_list in big_list if big_list
    contains small_list, otherwise -1.
    """
    loop = True
    i, curr_id_small= 0, 0
    while loop and i<len(big_list):
        if big_list[i]==small_list[curr_id_small]:
            if curr_id_small==len(small_list)-1:
                loop = False
            else:
                curr_id_small += 1
        else:
            curr_id_small = 0
        i=i+1
    if not loop:
        return i-len(small_list)
    else:
        return -1

MVC razor form with multiple different submit buttons?

You could use normal buttons(non submit). Use javascript to rewrite (at an 'onclick' event) the form's 'action' attribute to something you want and then submit it. Generate the button using a custom helper(create a file "Helper.cshtml" inside the App_Code folder, at the root of your project) .

@helper SubmitButton(string text, string controller,string action)
{   
    var uh = new System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper(Context.Request.RequestContext);
    string url = @uh.Action(action, controller, null);   
    <input type=button  onclick="(
                                       function(e)
                                                 {
                                                   $(e).parent().attr('action', '@url'); //rewrite action url
                                                   //create a submit button to be clicked and removed, so that onsubmit is triggered
                                                   var form = document.getElementById($(e).parent().attr('id'));
                                                   var button = form.ownerDocument.createElement('input');
                                                   button.style.display = 'none';
                                                   button.type = 'submit';
                                                   form.appendChild(button).click(); 
                                                   form.removeChild(button);              
                                                  }
                                      )(this)" value="@text"/>
}

And then use it as:

@Helpers.SubmitButton("Text for 1st button","ControllerForButton1","ActionForButton1")
@Helpers.SubmitButton("Text for 2nd button","ControllerForButton2","ActionForButton2")
...

Inside your form.

int numberOfSpaces = 3;
String space = String.format("%"+ numberOfSpaces +"s", " ");

Best way to Format a Double value to 2 Decimal places

No, there is no better way.

Actually you have an error in your pattern. What you want is:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00"); 

Note the "00", meaning exactly two decimal places.

If you use "#.##" (# means "optional" digit), it will drop trailing zeroes - ie new DecimalFormat("#.##").format(3.0d); prints just "3", not "3.00".

Nesting await in Parallel.ForEach

You can save effort with the new AsyncEnumerator NuGet Package, which didn't exist 4 years ago when the question was originally posted. It allows you to control the degree of parallelism:

using System.Collections.Async;
...

await ids.ParallelForEachAsync(async i =>
{
    ICustomerRepo repo = new CustomerRepo();
    var cust = await repo.GetCustomer(i);
    customers.Add(cust);
},
maxDegreeOfParallelism: 10);

Does Android keep the .apk files? if so where?

There is no standard location, however you can use the PackageManager to find out about packages and the ApplicationInfo class you can get from there has various information about a particular package: the path to its .apk, the path to its data directory, the path to a resource-only .apk (for forward locked apps), etc. Note that you may or may not have permission to read these directories depending on your relationship with the other app; however, all apps are able to read the resource .apk (which is also the real .apk for non-forward-locked app).

If you are just poking around in the shell, currently non-forward-locked apps are located in /data/app/.apk. The shell user can read a specific .apk, though it can't list the directory. In a future release the naming convention will be changed slightly, so don't count on it remaining the same, but if you get the path of the .apk from the package manager then you can use it in the shell.

How do I declare and use variables in PL/SQL like I do in T-SQL?

In Oracle PL/SQL, if you are running a query that may return multiple rows, you need a cursor to iterate over the results. The simplest way is with a for loop, e.g.:

declare
  myname varchar2(20) := 'tom';
begin
  for result_cursor in (select * from mytable where first_name = myname) loop
    dbms_output.put_line(result_cursor.first_name);
    dbms_output.put_line(result_cursor.other_field);
  end loop;
end;

If you have a query that returns exactly one row, then you can use the select...into... syntax, e.g.:

declare 
  myname varchar2(20);
begin
  select first_name into myname 
    from mytable 
    where person_id = 123;
end;

Replace only text inside a div using jquery

Find the text nodes (nodeType==3) and replace the textContent:

$('#one').contents().filter(function() {
    return this.nodeType == 3
}).each(function(){
    this.textContent = this.textContent.replace('Hi I am text','Hi I am replace');
});

Note that as per the docs you can replace the hard-coded 3 in the above with Node.TEXT_NODE which is much clearer what you're doing.

_x000D_
_x000D_
$('#one').contents().filter(function() {
    return this.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE;
}).each(function(){
    this.textContent = this.textContent.replace('Hi I am text','Hi I am replace');
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="one">
       <div class="first"></div>
       "Hi I am text"
       <div class="second"></div>
       <div class="third"></div>
</div>

Getting IPV4 address from a sockaddr structure

Emil's answer is correct, but it's my understanding that inet_ntoa is deprecated and that instead you should use inet_ntop. If you are using IPv4, cast your struct sockaddr to sockaddr_in. Your code will look something like this:

struct addrinfo *res;   // populated elsewhere in your code
struct sockaddr_in *ipv4 = (struct sockaddr_in *)res->ai_addr;
char ipAddress[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
inet_ntop(AF_INET, &(ipv4->sin_addr), ipAddress, INET_ADDRSTRLEN);

printf("The IP address is: %s\n", ipAddress);

Take a look at this great resource for more explanation, including how to do this for IPv6 addresses.

How do I find an element that contains specific text in Selenium WebDriver (Python)?

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'YourTextHere')]")));
assertNotNull(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'YourTextHere')]")));
String yourButtonName = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'YourTextHere')]")).getAttribute("innerText");
assertTrue(yourButtonName.equalsIgnoreCase("YourTextHere"));

How to request Administrator access inside a batch file

I used multiple examples to patch this working one liner together.

This will open your batch script as an ADMIN + Maximized Window

Just add one of the following codes to the top of your batch script. Both ways work, just different ways to code it.

I believe the first example responds the quickest due to /d switch disabling my doskey commands that I have enabled..

EXAMPLE ONE

@ECHO OFF
IF NOT "%1"=="MAX" (powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -NoProfile -Command {Start-Process CMD -ArgumentList '/D,/C' -Verb RunAs} & START /MAX CMD /D /C %0 MAX & EXIT /B)
:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:: Your original batch code here:

:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE TWO

@ECHO OFF
IF NOT "%1"=="MAX" (powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -NoProfile -Command "Start-Process CMD -ArgumentList '/C' -Verb RunAs" & START /MAX CMD /C "%0" MAX & EXIT /B)
:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:: Your original batch code here:

:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See below for recommendations when using your original batch code

Place the original batch code in it's entirety

Just because the first line of code at the very top has @ECHO OFF doesn't mean you should not include it again if your original script has it as well.

This ensures that when the script get's restarted in a new window now running in admin mode that you don't lose your intended script parameters/attributes... Such as the current working directory, your local variables, and so on

You could beginning with the following commands to avoid some of these issues

:: Make sure to use @ECHO OFF if your original code had it
@ECHO OFF
:: Avoid clashing with other active windows variables with SETLOCAL
SETLOCAL
:: Nice color to work with using 0A
COLOR 0A
:: Give your script a name
TITLE NAME IT!

:: Ensure your working directory is set where you want it to be
:: the following code sets the working directory to the script directory folder
PUSHD "%~dp0"

THE REST OF YOUR SCRIPT HERE...

:: Signal the script is finished in the title bar
ECHO.
TITLE Done! NAME IT!
PAUSE
EXIT

internet explorer 10 - how to apply grayscale filter?

Use this jQuery plugin https://gianlucaguarini.github.io/jQuery.BlackAndWhite/

That seems to be the only one cross-browser solution. Plus it has a nice fade in and fade out effect.

$('.bwWrapper').BlackAndWhite({
    hoverEffect : true, // default true
    // set the path to BnWWorker.js for a superfast implementation
    webworkerPath : false,
    // to invert the hover effect

    // this option works only on the modern browsers ( on IE lower than 9 it remains always 1)
    intensity:1,
    speed: { //this property could also be just speed: value for both fadeIn and fadeOut
        fadeIn: 200, // 200ms for fadeIn animations
        fadeOut: 800 // 800ms for fadeOut animations
    },
    onImageReady:function(img) {
        // this callback gets executed anytime an image is converted
    }
});

How to generate components in a specific folder with Angular CLI?

If you use VSCode, consider using the Angular Console

It provides an interface for the Angular CLI. You will see an option to specify the path.

The Angular CLI is immensely powerful and extensible. In fact, there are so many capabilities that it is helpful for developers to have all of the different configuration options for every command available to them.

With Angular Console, you’ll get recommendations and be able to pull up even the most easily forgotten or rarely used features!

Angular Console is, first and foremost, a more productive way to work with what the Angular CLI provides.

how do I set height of container DIV to 100% of window height?

I've been thinking over this and experimenting with height of the elements: html, body and div. Finally I came up with the code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<!DOCTYPE html>_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
<head>_x000D_
<meta charset="utf-8" />_x000D_
<title>Height question</title>_x000D_
<style>_x000D_
 html {height: 50%; border: solid red 3px; }_x000D_
 body {height: 70vh; border: solid green 3px; padding: 12pt; }_x000D_
 div {height: 90vh; border: solid blue 3px; padding: 24pt; }_x000D_
 _x000D_
</style>_x000D_
</head>_x000D_
<body>_x000D_
_x000D_
 <div id="container">_x000D_
  <p>&lt;html&gt; is red</p>_x000D_
  <p>&lt;body&gt; is green</p>_x000D_
  <p>&lt;div&gt; is blue</p>_x000D_
 </div>_x000D_
_x000D_
</body>_x000D_
</html>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

With my browser (Firefox 65@mint 64), all three elements are of 1) different height, 2) every one is longer, than the previous (html is 50%, body is 70vh, and div 90vh). I also checked the styles without the height with respect to the html and body tags. Worked fine, too.

How to get JSON from URL in JavaScript?

You can access JSON data by using fetch() in JavaScript

Update url parameter of fetch() with your url.

fetch(url)
    .then(function(response){
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(function(data){
        console.log(data);
    })

Hope It helps, it worked perfectly for me.

In C#, what is the difference between public, private, protected, and having no access modifier?

Public - If you can see the class, then you can see the method

Private - If you are part of the class, then you can see the method, otherwise not.

Protected - Same as Private, plus all descendants can also see the method.

Static (class) - Remember the distinction between "Class" and "Object" ? Forget all that. They are the same with "static"... the class is the one-and-only instance of itself.

Static (method) - Whenever you use this method, it will have a frame of reference independent of the actual instance of the class it is part of.

range() for floats

i wrote a function that returns a tuple of a range of double precision floating point numbers without any decimal places beyond the hundredths. it was simply a matter of parsing the range values like strings and splitting off the excess. I use it for displaying ranges to select from within a UI. I hope someone else finds it useful.

def drange(start,stop,step):
    double_value_range = []
    while start<stop:
        a = str(start)
        a.split('.')[1].split('0')[0]
        start = float(str(a))
        double_value_range.append(start)
        start = start+step
    double_value_range_tuple = tuple(double_value_range)
   #print double_value_range_tuple
    return double_value_range_tuple

Xcode 'CodeSign error: code signing is required'

It happens when Xcode doesn't recognize your certificate.

It's just a pain in the ass to solve it, there are a lot of possibilities to help you.

But the first thing you should try is removing in the "Window" tab => Organizer, the provisioning that is in your device. Then re-add them (download them again on the apple website). And try to compile again.

By the way, did you check in the Project Info Window the "code signing identity" ?

Good Luck.

How to uninstall a Windows Service when there is no executable for it left on the system?

found here

I just tried on windows XP, it worked

local computer: sc \\. delete [service-name]

  Deleting services in Windows Server 2003

  We can use sc.exe in the Windows Server 2003 to control services, create services and delete services. Since some people thought they must directly modify the registry to delete a service, I would like to share how to use sc.exe to delete a service without directly modifying the registry so that decreased the possibility for system failures.

  To delete a service: 

  Click “start“ - “run“, and then enter “cmd“ to open Microsoft Command Console.

  Enter command:

  sc servername delete servicename

  For instance, sc \\dc delete myservice

  (Note: In this example, dc is my Domain Controller Server name, which is not the local machine, myservice is the name of the service I want to delete on the DC server.)

  Below is the official help of all sc functions:

  DESCRIPTION:
    SC is a command line program used for communicating with the
    NT Service Controller and services.

Testing two JSON objects for equality ignoring child order in Java

As a general architectural point, I usually advise against letting dependencies on a particular serialization format bleed out beyond your storage/networking layer; thus, I'd first recommend that you consider testing equality between your own application objects rather than their JSON manifestations.

Having said that, I'm currently a big fan of Jackson which my quick read of their ObjectNode.equals() implementation suggests does the set membership comparison that you want:

public boolean equals(Object o)
{
    if (o == this) return true;
    if (o == null) return false;
    if (o.getClass() != getClass()) {
        return false;
    }
    ObjectNode other = (ObjectNode) o;
    if (other.size() != size()) {
        return false;
    }
    if (_children != null) {
        for (Map.Entry<String, JsonNode> en : _children.entrySet()) {
            String key = en.getKey();
            JsonNode value = en.getValue();

            JsonNode otherValue = other.get(key);

            if (otherValue == null || !otherValue.equals(value)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

This may be a long shot, but Crystal Reports for Eclipse is free. I'm not sure if it will work, but if all you need is to edit some static text, you could get that version of CR and get the job done.

How to open child forms positioned within MDI parent in VB.NET?

Try Making the Child Form's StartPosition Property set to Center Parent. This you can select from the form Properties.

Adding attributes to an XML node

The latest and supposedly greatest way to construct the XML is by using LINQ to XML:

using System.Xml.Linq

       var xmlNode =
            new XElement("Login",
                         new XElement("id",
                             new XAttribute("userName", "Tushar"),
                             new XAttribute("password", "Tushar"),
                             new XElement("Name", "Tushar"),
                             new XElement("Age", "24")
                         )
            );
       xmlNode.Save("Tushar.xml");

Supposedly this way of coding should be easier, as the code closely resembles the output (which Jon's example above does not). However, I found that while coding this relatively easy example I was prone to lose my way between the cartload of comma's that you have to navigate among. Visual studio's auto spacing of code does not help either.

How to solve java.lang.OutOfMemoryError trouble in Android

You can't increase the heap size dynamically but you can request to use more by using.

android:largeHeap="true"

in the manifest.xml,you can add in your manifest these lines it is working for some situations.

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:largeHeap="true"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Whether your application's processes should be created with a large Dalvik heap. This applies to all processes created for the application. It only applies to the first application loaded into a process; if you're using a shared user ID to allow multiple applications to use a process, they all must use this option consistently or they will have unpredictable results. Most apps should not need this and should instead focus on reducing their overall memory usage for improved performance. Enabling this also does not guarantee a fixed increase in available memory, because some devices are constrained by their total available memory.


To query the available memory size at runtime, use the methods getMemoryClass() or getLargeMemoryClass().

If still facing problem then this should also work

 BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
 options.inSampleSize = 8;
 mBitmapInsurance = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCurrentPhotoPath,options);

If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory.

This is the optimal use of BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize with regards to speed of displaying the image. The documentation mentions using values that are a power of 2, so I am working with 2, 4, 8, 16 etc.

Lets get more deeper to Image Sampling:

For example, it’s not worth loading a 1024x768 pixel image into memory if it will eventually be displayed in a 128x128 pixel thumbnail in an ImageView.

To tell the decoder to subsample the image, loading a smaller version into memory, set inSampleSize to true in your BitmapFactory.Options object. For example, an image with resolution 2100 x 1500 pixels that is decoded with an inSampleSize of 4 produces a bitmap of approximately 512x384. Loading this into memory uses 0.75MB rather than 12MB for the full image (assuming a bitmap configuration of ARGB_8888). Here’s a method to calculate a sample size value that is a power of two based on a target width and height:

public static int calculateInSampleSize(
        BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
    // Raw height and width of image
    final int height = options.outHeight;
    final int width = options.outWidth;
    int inSampleSize = 1;

    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {

        final int halfHeight = height / 2;
        final int halfWidth = width / 2;

        // Calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and keeps both
        // height and width larger than the requested height and width.
        while ((halfHeight / inSampleSize) > reqHeight
                && (halfWidth / inSampleSize) > reqWidth) {
            inSampleSize *= 2;
        }
    }

    return inSampleSize;
}

Note: A power of two value is calculated because the decoder uses a final value by rounding down to the nearest power of two, as per the inSampleSize documentation.

To use this method, first decode with inJustDecodeBounds set to true, pass the options through and then decode again using the new inSampleSize value and inJustDecodeBounds set to false:

public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(Resources res, int resId,
    int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

    // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
    final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);

    // Calculate inSampleSize
    options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);
}

This method makes it easy to load a bitmap of arbitrarily large size into an ImageView that displays a 100x100 pixel thumbnail, as shown in the following example code:

mImageView.setImageBitmap(decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(getResources(), R.id.myimage, 100, 100));

You can follow a similar process to decode bitmaps from other sources, by substituting the appropriate BitmapFactory.decode* method as needed.


I found this code also interesting:

private Bitmap getBitmap(String path) {

Uri uri = getImageUri(path);
InputStream in = null;
try {
    final int IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = 1200000; // 1.2MP
    in = mContentResolver.openInputStream(uri);

    // Decode image size
    BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);
    in.close();

    int scale = 1;
    while ((o.outWidth * o.outHeight) * (1 / Math.pow(scale, 2)) > 
          IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
       scale++;
    }
    Log.d(TAG, "scale = " + scale + ", orig-width: " + o.outWidth + ", 
       orig-height: " + o.outHeight);

    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    in = mContentResolver.openInputStream(uri);
    if (scale > 1) {
        scale--;
        // scale to max possible inSampleSize that still yields an image
        // larger than target
        o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        o.inSampleSize = scale;
        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in, null, o);

        // resize to desired dimensions
        int height = bitmap.getHeight();
        int width = bitmap.getWidth();
        Log.d(TAG, "1th scale operation dimenions - width: " + width + ",
           height: " + height);

        double y = Math.sqrt(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE
                / (((double) width) / height));
        double x = (y / height) * width;

        Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, (int) x, 
           (int) y, true);
        bitmap.recycle();
        bitmap = scaledBitmap;

        System.gc();
    } else {
        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
    }
    in.close();

    Log.d(TAG, "bitmap size - width: " +bitmap.getWidth() + ", height: " + 
       bitmap.getHeight());
    return bitmap;
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage(),e);
    return null;
}

How to Manage Your App's Memory: link


It's not a good idea to use android:largeHeap="true" here's the extract from google that explains it,

However, the ability to request a large heap is intended only for a small set of apps that can justify the need to consume more RAM (such as a large photo editing app). Never request a large heap simply because you've run out of memory and you need a quick fix—you should use it only when you know exactly where all your memory is being allocated and why it must be retained. Yet, even when you're confident your app can justify the large heap, you should avoid requesting it to whatever extent possible. Using the extra memory will increasingly be to the detriment of the overall user experience because garbage collection will take longer and system performance may be slower when task switching or performing other common operations.

After working excrutiatingly with out of memory errors i would say adding this to the manifest to avoid the oom issue is not a sin


Verifying App Behavior on the Android Runtime (ART)

The Android runtime (ART) is the default runtime for devices running Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher. This runtime offers a number of features that improve performance and smoothness of the Android platform and apps. You can find more information about ART's new features in Introducing ART.

However, some techniques that work on Dalvik do not work on ART. This document lets you know about things to watch for when migrating an existing app to be compatible with ART. Most apps should just work when running with ART.


Addressing Garbage Collection (GC) Issues

Under Dalvik, apps frequently find it useful to explicitly call System.gc() to prompt garbage collection (GC). This should be far less necessary with ART, particularly if you're invoking garbage collection to prevent GC_FOR_ALLOC-type occurrences or to reduce fragmentation. You can verify which runtime is in use by calling System.getProperty("java.vm.version"). If ART is in use, the property's value is "2.0.0" or higher.

Furthermore, a compacting garbage collector is under development in the Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) to improve memory management. Because of this, you should avoid using techniques that are incompatible with compacting GC (such as saving pointers to object instance data). This is particularly important for apps that make use of the Java Native Interface (JNI). For more information, see Preventing JNI Issues.


Preventing JNI Issues

ART's JNI is somewhat stricter than Dalvik's. It is an especially good idea to use CheckJNI mode to catch common problems. If your app makes use of C/C++ code, you should review the following article:


Also, you can use native memory (NDK & JNI), so you actually bypass the heap size limitation.

Here are some posts made about it:

and here's a library made for it:

Early exit from function?

matching query does not exist Error in Django

I also had this problem. It was caused by the development server not deleting the django session after a debug abort in Aptana, with subsequent database deletion. (Meaning the id of a non-existent database record was still present in the session the next time the development server started)

To resolve this during development, I used

request.session.flush()

Is there Java HashMap equivalent in PHP?

Arrays in PHP can have Key Value structure.

Generate random string/characters in JavaScript

_x000D_
_x000D_
let r = Math.random().toString(36).substring(7);_x000D_
console.log("random", r);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note: The above algorithm has the following weaknesses:

  • It will generate anywhere between 0 and 6 characters due to the fact that trailing zeros get removed when stringifying floating points.
  • It depends deeply on the algorithm used to stringify floating point numbers, which is horrifically complex. (See the paper "How to Print Floating-Point Numbers Accurately".)
  • Math.random() may produce predictable ("random-looking" but not really random) output depending on the implementation. The resulting string is not suitable when you need to guarantee uniqueness or unpredictability.
  • Even if it produced 6 uniformly random, unpredictable characters, you can expect to see a duplicate after generating only about 50,000 strings, due to the birthday paradox. (sqrt(36^6) = 46656)

Convert Rows to columns using 'Pivot' in SQL Server

If you are using SQL Server 2005+, then you can use the PIVOT function to transform the data from rows into columns.

It sounds like you will need to use dynamic sql if the weeks are unknown but it is easier to see the correct code using a hard-coded version initially.

First up, here are some quick table definitions and data for use:

CREATE TABLE #yt 
(
  [Store] int, 
  [Week] int, 
  [xCount] int
);

INSERT INTO #yt
(
  [Store], 
  [Week], [xCount]
)
VALUES
    (102, 1, 96),
    (101, 1, 138),
    (105, 1, 37),
    (109, 1, 59),
    (101, 2, 282),
    (102, 2, 212),
    (105, 2, 78),
    (109, 2, 97),
    (105, 3, 60),
    (102, 3, 123),
    (101, 3, 220),
    (109, 3, 87);

If your values are known, then you will hard-code the query:

select *
from 
(
  select store, week, xCount
  from yt
) src
pivot
(
  sum(xcount)
  for week in ([1], [2], [3])
) piv;

See SQL Demo

Then if you need to generate the week number dynamically, your code will be:

DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(Week) 
                    from yt
                    group by Week
                    order by Week
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,1,'')

set @query = 'SELECT store,' + @cols + ' from 
             (
                select store, week, xCount
                from yt
            ) x
            pivot 
            (
                sum(xCount)
                for week in (' + @cols + ')
            ) p '

execute(@query);

See SQL Demo.

The dynamic version, generates the list of week numbers that should be converted to columns. Both give the same result:

| STORE |   1 |   2 |   3 |
---------------------------
|   101 | 138 | 282 | 220 |
|   102 |  96 | 212 | 123 |
|   105 |  37 |  78 |  60 |
|   109 |  59 |  97 |  87 |

        localFolders = (FolderLayout)findViewById(R.id.localfolders);
        localFolders.setIFolderItemListener(this);
            localFolders.setDir("./sys");//change directory if u want,default is root   

    }

    //Your stuff here for Cannot open Folder

How to sum a list of integers with java streams?

You can use collect method to add list of integers.

List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(2, 4, 5, 6);
int sum = list.stream().collect(Collectors.summingInt(Integer::intValue));

How can I append a query parameter to an existing URL?

An update to Adam's answer considering tryp's answer too. Don't have to instantiate a String in the loop.

public static URI appendUri(String uri, Map<String, String> parameters) throws URISyntaxException {
    URI oldUri = new URI(uri);
    StringBuilder queries = new StringBuilder();

    for(Map.Entry<String, String> query: parameters.entrySet()) {
        queries.append( "&" + query.getKey()+"="+query.getValue());
    }

    String newQuery = oldUri.getQuery();
    if (newQuery == null) {
        newQuery = queries.substring(1);
    } else {
        newQuery += queries.toString();
    }

    URI newUri = new URI(oldUri.getScheme(), oldUri.getAuthority(),
            oldUri.getPath(), newQuery, oldUri.getFragment());

    return newUri;
}

Git fetch remote branch

What helped me was

1) To view all available remote branches (e.g. 'remote-branch-name')

git branch -r

2) Create a local branch using remote branch name

git fetch && git checkout 'remote-branch-name'

T-SQL loop over query results

DECLARE @id INT
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @getid CURSOR

SET @getid = CURSOR FOR
SELECT table.id,
       table.name
FROM   table

WHILE 1=1
BEGIN

    FETCH NEXT
    FROM @getid INTO @id, @name
    IF @@FETCH_STATUS < 0 BREAK

    EXEC stored_proc @varName=@id, @otherVarName='test', @varForName=@name

END

CLOSE @getid
DEALLOCATE @getid

"continue" in cursor.forEach()

Each iteration of the forEach() will call the function that you have supplied. To stop further processing within any given iteration (and continue with the next item) you just have to return from the function at the appropriate point:

elementsCollection.forEach(function(element){
  if (!element.shouldBeProcessed)
    return; // stop processing this iteration

  // This part will be avoided if not neccessary
  doSomeLengthyOperation();
});

add an element to int [] array in java

You could also try this.

public static int[] addOneIntToArray(int[] initialArray , int newValue) {

    int[] newArray = new int[initialArray.length + 1];
    for (int index = 0; index < initialArray.length; index++) {
        newArray[index] = initialArray[index];
    }

    newArray[newArray.length - 1] = newValue;
    return newArray;
}

COUNT / GROUP BY with active record?

What are NDF Files?

An NDF file is a user defined secondary database file of Microsoft SQL Server with an extension .ndf, which store user data. Moreover, when the size of the database file growing automatically from its specified size, you can use .ndf file for extra storage and the .ndf file could be stored on a separate disk drive. Every NDF file uses the same filename as its corresponding MDF file. We cannot open an .ndf file in SQL Server Without attaching its associated .mdf file.

OS detecting makefile

I had a case where I had to detect the difference between two versions of Fedora, to tweak the command-line options for inkscape:
- in Fedora 31, the default inkscape is 1.0beta which uses --export-file
- in Fedora < 31, the default inkscape is 0.92 which uses --export-pdf

My Makefile contains the following

# set VERSION_ID from /etc/os-release

$(eval $(shell grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release))

# select the inkscape export syntax

ifeq ($(VERSION_ID),31)
EXPORT = export-file
else
EXPORT = export-pdf
endif

# rule to convert inkscape SVG (drawing) to PDF

%.pdf : %.svg
    inkscape --export-area-drawing $< --$(EXPORT)=$@

This works because /etc/os-release contains a line

VERSION_ID=<value>

so the shell command in the Makefile returns the string VERSION_ID=<value>, then the eval command acts on this to set the Makefile variable VERSION_ID. This can obviously be tweaked for other OS's depending how the metadata is stored. Note that in Fedora there is not a default environment variable that gives the OS version, otherwise I would have used that!

What's the difference between JavaScript and Java?

Here are some differences between the two languages:

  • Java is a statically typed language; JavaScript is dynamic.
  • Java is class-based; JavaScript is prototype-based.
  • Java constructors are special functions that can only be called at object creation; JavaScript "constructors" are just standard functions.
  • Java requires all non-block statements to end with a semicolon; JavaScript inserts semicolons at the ends of certain lines.
  • Java uses block-based scoping; JavaScript uses function-based scoping.
  • Java has an implicit this scope for non-static methods, and implicit class scope; JavaScript has implicit global scope.

Here are some features that I think are particular strengths of JavaScript:

  • JavaScript supports closures; Java can simulate sort-of "closures" using anonymous classes. (Real closures may be supported in a future version of Java.)
  • All JavaScript functions are variadic; Java functions are only variadic if explicitly marked.
  • JavaScript prototypes can be redefined at runtime, and has immediate effect for all referring objects. Java classes cannot be redefined in a way that affects any existing object instances.
  • JavaScript allows methods in an object to be redefined independently of its prototype (think eigenclasses in Ruby, but on steroids); methods in a Java object are tied to its class, and cannot be redefined at runtime.

Bootstrap: How to center align content inside column?

Want to center an image? Very easy, Bootstrap comes with two classes, .center-block and text-center.

Use the former in the case of your image being a BLOCK element, for example, adding img-responsive class to your img makes the img a block element. You should know this if you know how to navigate in the web console and see applied styles to an element.

Don't want to use a class? No problem, here is the CSS bootstrap uses. You can make a custom class or write a CSS rule for the element to match the Bootstrap class.

 // In case you're dealing with a block element apply this to the element itself 
.center-block {
   margin-left:auto;
   margin-right:auto;
   display:block;
}

// In case you're dealing with a inline element apply this to the parent 
.text-center {
   text-align:center
}

then I could fetch

git fetch myRemoteName

github markdown colspan

You can use HTML tables on GitHub (but not on StackOverflow)

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>One</td>
    <td>Two</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">Three</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Becomes

HTML table output

Check table exist or not before create it in Oracle

Please try:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_emp int:=0;
BEGIN
  SELECT count(*) into v_emp FROM dba_tables where table_name = 'EMPLOYEE'; 

  if v_emp<=0 then
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table EMPLOYEE ( ID NUMBER(3), NAME VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL)';
  end if;
END;

At runtime, find all classes in a Java application that extend a base class

Think about this from an aspect-oriented point of view; what you want to do, really, is know all the classes at runtime that HAVE extended the Animal class. (I think that's a slightly more accurate description of your problem than your title; otherwise, I don't think you have a runtime question.)

So what I think you want is to create a constructor of your base class (Animal) which adds to your static array (I prefer ArrayLists, myself, but to each their own) the type of the current Class which is being instantiated.

So, roughly;

public abstract class Animal
    {
    private static ArrayList<Class> instantiatedDerivedTypes;
    public Animal() {
        Class derivedClass = this.getClass();
        if (!instantiatedDerivedClass.contains(derivedClass)) {
            instantiatedDerivedClass.Add(derivedClass);
        }
    }

Of course, you'll need a static constructor on Animal to initialize instantiatedDerivedClass... I think this'll do what you probably want. Note that this is execution-path dependent; if you have a Dog class that derives from Animal that never gets invoked, you won't have it in your Animal Class list.

How to assign execute permission to a .sh file in windows to be executed in linux

As far as I know the permission system in Linux is set up in such a way to prevent exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

I think the best you can do is to give your Linux user a custom unzip one-liner to run on the prompt:

unzip zip_name.zip && chmod +x script_name.sh

If there are multiple scripts that you need to give execute permission to, write a grant_perms.sh as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# file: grant_perms.sh

chmod +x script_1.sh
chmod +x script_2.sh
...
chmod +x script_n.sh

(You can put the scripts all on one line for chmod, but I found separate lines easier to work with in vim and with shell script commands.)

And now your unzip one-liner becomes:

unzip zip_name.zip && source grant_perms.sh

Note that since you are using source to run grant_perms.sh, it doesn't need execute permission

Flexbox: how to get divs to fill up 100% of the container width without wrapping?

You can use the shorthand flex property and set it to

flex: 0 0 100%;

That's flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis in one line. Flex shrink was described above, flex grow is the opposite, and flex basis is the size of the container.

How to remove the bottom border of a box with CSS

You could just set the width to auto. Then the width of the div will equal 0 if it has no content.

width:auto;

Excel VBA Run Time Error '424' object required

The first code line, Option Explicit means (in simple terms) that all of your variables have to be explicitly declared by Dim statements. They can be any type, including object, integer, string, or even a variant.

This line: Dim envFrmwrkPath As Range is declaring the variable envFrmwrkPath of type Range. This means that you can only set it to a range.

This line: Set envFrmwrkPath = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value is attempting to set the Range type variable to a specific Value that is in cell D6. This could be a integer or a string for example (depends on what you have in that cell) but it's not a range.

I'm assuming you want the value stored in a variable. Try something like this:

Dim MyVariableName As Integer
MyVariableName = ActiveSheet.Range("D6").Value

This assumes you have a number (like 5) in cell D6. Now your variable will have the value.

For simplicity sake of learning, you can remove or comment out the Option Explicit line and VBA will try to determine the type of variables at run time.


Try this to get through this part of your code

Dim envFrmwrkPath As String
Dim ApplicationName As String
Dim TestIterationName As String

submit form on click event using jquery

How to delete Project from Google Developers Console

The delete button is right there where the help page says it is.

To shut down a project using the Cloud Platform Console:

  • Open the Settings page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.

  • Click Select a project.

  • Select a project you wish to delete, and click Open.
  • Click Shut down.
  • Enter the Project ID and click Shut down.

Please note that there is a 7-day grace period before the project is actually purged from the system. Which means you won't be able to immediately create another project with the same name.

How to split csv whose columns may contain ,

It is a tricky matter to parse .csv files when the .csv file could be either comma separated strings, comma separated quoted strings, or a chaotic combination of the two. The solution I came up with allows for any of the three possibilities.

I created a method, ParseCsvRow() which returns an array from a csv string. I first deal with double quotes in the string by splitting the string on double quotes into an array called quotesArray. Quoted string .csv files are only valid if there is an even number of double quotes. Double quotes in a column value should be replaced with a pair of double quotes (This is Excel's approach). As long as the .csv file meets these requirements, you can expect the delimiter commas to appear only outside of pairs of double quotes. Commas inside of pairs of double quotes are part of the column value and should be ignored when splitting the .csv into an array.

My method will test for commas outside of double quote pairs by looking only at even indexes of the quotesArray. It also removes double quotes from the start and end of column values.

    public static string[] ParseCsvRow(string csvrow)
    {
        const string obscureCharacter = "?";
        if (csvrow.Contains(obscureCharacter)) throw new Exception("Error: csv row may not contain the " + obscureCharacter + " character");

        var unicodeSeparatedString = "";

        var quotesArray = csvrow.Split('"');  // Split string on double quote character
        if (quotesArray.Length > 1)
        {
            for (var i = 0; i < quotesArray.Length; i++)
            {
                // CSV must use double quotes to represent a quote inside a quoted cell
                // Quotes must be paired up
                // Test if a comma lays outside a pair of quotes.  If so, replace the comma with an obscure unicode character
                if (Math.Round(Math.Round((decimal) i/2)*2) == i)
                {
                    var s = quotesArray[i].Trim();
                    switch (s)
                    {
                        case ",":
                            quotesArray[i] = obscureCharacter;  // Change quoted comma seperated string to quoted "obscure character" seperated string
                            break;
                    }
                }
                // Build string and Replace quotes where quotes were expected.
                unicodeSeparatedString += (i > 0 ? "\"" : "") + quotesArray[i].Trim();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // String does not have any pairs of double quotes.  It should be safe to just replace the commas with the obscure character
            unicodeSeparatedString = csvrow.Replace(",", obscureCharacter);
        }

        var csvRowArray = unicodeSeparatedString.Split(obscureCharacter[0]); 

        for (var i = 0; i < csvRowArray.Length; i++)
        {
            var s = csvRowArray[i].Trim();
            if (s.StartsWith("\"") && s.EndsWith("\""))
            {
                csvRowArray[i] = s.Length > 2 ? s.Substring(1, s.Length - 2) : "";  // Remove start and end quotes.
            }
        }

        return csvRowArray;
    }

One downside of my approach is the way I temporarily replace delimiter commas with an obscure unicode character. This character needs to be so obscure, it would never show up in your .csv file. You may want to put more handling around this.

How to use multiple LEFT JOINs in SQL?

You have two choices, depending on your table order

create table aa (sht int)
create table cc (sht int)
create table cd (sht int)
create table ab (sht int)

-- type 1    
select * from cd
inner join cc on cd.sht = cc.sht
LEFT JOIN ab ON ab.sht = cd.sht
LEFT JOIN aa ON aa.sht = cc.sht

-- type 2
select * from cc
inner join cc on cd.sht = cc.sht
LEFT JOIN ab
LEFT JOIN aa
ON aa.sht = ab.sht
ON ab.sht = cd.sht

Setting width to wrap_content for TextView through code

There is another way to achieve same result. In case you need to set only one parameter, for example 'height':

TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = textView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
textView.setLayoutParams(params);

Update Fragment from ViewPager

Accepted answer is not understand, That's why added easy solution. after long struggle find Working solution.

Just notify to your adapter, it's working amazing,

Reference code

 void setAdapter(int position) {
        PagerAdapter pagerAdapter = new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        viewPager.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);
        // when notify then set manually current position.
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(position);
        pagerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

call this code when you set adapter and when you want to refresh UI.

In Your fragment add this code for refresh

((YourActivityName) getContext()).setAdapter(selectedTabPosition);

Use instanceof for cast context.

This code share only helping purpose who find solution.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked

You have to placed this code in application.rb

config.action_dispatch.default_headers = {
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => '*',
        'Access-Control-Request-Method' => %w{GET POST OPTIONS}.join(",")
}

Customizing the template within a Directive

The above answers unfortunately don't quite work. In particular, the compile stage does not have access to scope, so you can't customize the field based on dynamic attributes. Using the linking stage seems to offer the most flexibility (in terms of asynchronously creating dom, etc.) The below approach addresses that:

<!-- Usage: -->
<form>
  <form-field ng-model="formModel[field.attr]" field="field" ng-repeat="field in fields">
</form>
// directive
angular.module('app')
.directive('formField', function($compile, $parse) {
  return { 
    restrict: 'E', 
    compile: function(element, attrs) {
      var fieldGetter = $parse(attrs.field);

      return function (scope, element, attrs) {
        var template, field, id;
        field = fieldGetter(scope);
        template = '..your dom structure here...'
        element.replaceWith($compile(template)(scope));
      }
    }
  }
})

I've created a gist with more complete code and a writeup of the approach.

Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using '<pages enableEventValidation="true"/>'

I've had the same problem, what I did:

What Regex would capture everything from ' mark to the end of a line?

https://regex101.com/r/Jjc2xR/1

/(\w*\(Hex\): w*)(.*?)(?= |$)/gm

I'm sure this one works, it will capture de hexa serial in the badly structured text multilined bellow

     Space Reservation: disabled
         Serial Number: wCVt1]IlvQWv
   Serial Number (Hex): 77435674315d496c76515776
               Comment: new comment

I'm a eternal newbie in regex but I'll try explain this one

(\w*(Hex): w*) : Find text in line where string contains "Hex: "

(.*?) This is the second captured text and means everything after

(?= |$) create a limit that is the space between = and the |

So with the second group, you will have the value

How to Sort a List<T> by a property in the object

hi just to come back at the question. If you want to sort the List of this sequence "1" "10" "100" "200" "2" "20" "3" "30" "300" and get the sorted items in this form 1;2;3;10;20;30;100;200;300 you can use this:

 public class OrderingAscending : IComparer<String>
    {
        public int Compare(String x, String y)
        {
            Int32.TryParse(x, out var xtmp);
            Int32.TryParse(y, out var ytmp);

            int comparedItem = xtmp.CompareTo(ytmp);
            return comparedItem;
        }
    }

and you can use it in code behind in this form:

 IComparer<String> comparerHandle = new OrderingAscending();
 yourList.Sort(comparerHandle);

How to increase font size in the Xcode editor?

Static nested class in Java, why?

One of the reasons for static vs. normal have to do with classloading. You cannot instantiate an inner class in the constructor of it's parent.

PS: I've always understood 'nested' and 'inner' to be interchangeable. There may be subtle nuances in the terms but most Java developers would understand either.

How can I get an HTTP response body as a string?

This is relatively simple in the specific case, but quite tricky in the general case.

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://stackoverflow.com/");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
System.out.println(EntityUtils.getContentMimeType(entity));
System.out.println(EntityUtils.getContentCharSet(entity));

The answer depends on the Content-Type HTTP response header.

This header contains information about the payload and might define the encoding of textual data. Even if you assume text types, you may need to inspect the content itself in order to determine the correct character encoding. E.g. see the HTML 4 spec for details on how to do that for that particular format.

Once the encoding is known, an InputStreamReader can be used to decode the data.

This answer depends on the server doing the right thing - if you want to handle cases where the response headers don't match the document, or the document declarations don't match the encoding used, that's another kettle of fish.

How to do this using jQuery - document.getElementById("selectlist").value

In some cases of which I can't remember why but $('#selectlist').val() won't always return the correct item value, so I use $('#selectlist option:selected').val() instead.

jquery/javascript convert date string to date

If you only need it once, it's overkill to load a plugin.

For a date "dd/mm/yyyy", this works for me:

new Date(d.date.substring(6, 10),d.date.substring(3, 5)-1,d.date.substring(0, 2));

Just invert month and day for mm/dd/yyyy, the syntax is new Date(y,m,d)

Saving a text file on server using JavaScript

You must have a server-side script to handle your request, it can't be done using javascript.

To send raw data without URIencoding or escaping special characters to the php and save it as new txt file you can send ajax request using post method and FormData like:

JS:

var data = new FormData();
data.append("data" , "the_text_you_want_to_save");
var xhr = (window.XMLHttpRequest) ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new activeXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xhr.open( 'post', '/path/to/php', true );
xhr.send(data);

PHP:

if(!empty($_POST['data'])){
$data = $_POST['data'];
$fname = mktime() . ".txt";//generates random name

$file = fopen("upload/" .$fname, 'w');//creates new file
fwrite($file, $data);
fclose($file);
}

Edit:

As Florian mentioned below, the XHR fallback is not required since FormData is not supported in older browsers (formdata browser compatibiltiy), so you can declare XHR variable as:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

Also please note that this works only for browsers that support FormData such as IE +10.

How to use in jQuery :not and hasClass() to get a specific element without a class

You can also use jQuery - is(selector) Method:

var lastOpenSite = $(this).siblings().is(':not(.closedTab)');

extract part of a string using bash/cut/split

What about sed? That will work in a single command:

sed 's#.*/\([^:]*\).*#\1#' <<<$string
  • The # are being used for regex dividers instead of / since the string has / in it.
  • .*/ grabs the string up to the last backslash.
  • \( .. \) marks a capture group. This is \([^:]*\).
    • The [^:] says any character _except a colon, and the * means zero or more.
  • .* means the rest of the line.
  • \1 means substitute what was found in the first (and only) capture group. This is the name.

Here's the breakdown matching the string with the regular expression:

        /var/cpanel/users/           joebloggs  :DNS9=domain.com joebloggs
sed 's#.*/                          \([^:]*\)   .*              #\1       #'

How to respond to clicks on a checkbox in an AngularJS directive?

Liviu's answer was extremely helpful for me. Hope this is not bad form but i made a fiddle that may help someone else out in the future.

Two important pieces that are needed are:

    $scope.entities = [{
    "title": "foo",
    "id": 1
}, {
    "title": "bar",
    "id": 2
}, {
    "title": "baz",
    "id": 3
}];
$scope.selected = [];

Add a tooltip to a div

There are lots of answers to this question but still may be it will help someone. It is for all left, right, top, bottom positions.

Here is the css:

    .m-tb-5 {
        margin-top: 2px;
        margin-bottom: 2px;
    }
    [data-tooltip] {
        display: inline-block;
        position: relative;
        cursor: help;
        padding: 3px;
    }
    /* Tooltip styling */
    [data-tooltip]:before {
        content: attr(data-tooltip);
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        background: #000;
        color: #fff;
        padding: 3px 6px;
        font-size: 10px;
        line-height: 1.4;
        min-width: 100px;
        text-align: center;
        border-radius: 4px;
    }

        -moz-transform: translateX(-50%);
        -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%);
        transform: translateX(-50%);
    }
    /* Dynamic vertical centering */
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:before,
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {
        top: 50%;
        -ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
        -moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
        -webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
        transform: translateY(-50%);
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:before {
        bottom: 100%;
        margin-bottom: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:before {
        left: 100%;
        margin-left: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:before {
        top: 100%;
        margin-top: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {
        right: 100%;
        margin-right: 6px;
    }

    /* Tooltip arrow styling/placement */
    [data-tooltip]:after {
        content: '';
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        width: 0;
        height: 0;
        border-color: transparent;
        border-style: solid;
    }
    /* Dynamic horizontal centering for the tooltip */
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:after,
    [data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:after {
        left: 50%;
        margin-left: -6px;
    }
    /* Dynamic vertical centering for the tooltip */
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:after,
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
        top: 50%;
        margin-top: -6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:after {
        bottom: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 6px 0;
        border-top-color: #000;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:after {
        left: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 6px 6px 0;
        border-right-color: #000;
    }

    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
        right: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 0 6px 6px;
        border-left-color: #000;
    }
    /* Show the tooltip when hovering */
    [data-tooltip]:hover:before,
    [data-tooltip]:hover:after {
        display: block;
        z-index: 50;
    }

And the HTML tag can be like this:

<p data-tooltip-position="right" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="left" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="top" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="bottom" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

How to configure SMTP settings in web.config

And then you can fetch it like this:

imageUri = Uri.parse(extras.getString("imageUri"));

WCF timeout exception detailed investigation

If you havn't tried it already - encapsulate your Server-side WCF Operations in try/finally blocks, and add logging to ensure they are actually returning.

If those show that the Operations are completing, then my next step would be to go to a lower level, and look at the actual transport layer.

Wireshark or another similar packet capturing tool can be quite helpful at this point. I'm assuming this is running over HTTP on standard port 80.

Run Wireshark on the client. In the Options when you start the capture, set the capture filter to tcp http and host service.example.com - this will reduce the amount of irrelevant traffic.

If you can, modify your client to notify you the exact start time of the call, and the time when the timeout occurred. Or just monitor it closely.

When you get an error, then you can trawl through the Wireshark logs to find the start of the call. Right click on the first packet that has your client calling out on it (Should be something like GET /service.svc or POST /service.svc) and select Follow TCP Stream.

Wireshark will decode the entire HTTP Conversation, so you can ensure that WCF is actually sending back responses.

Sending HTTP POST Request In Java

Call HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST") and HttpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true); Actually only the latter is needed as POST then becomes the default method.

Python initializing a list of lists

The problem is that they're all the same exact list in memory. When you use the [x]*n syntax, what you get is a list of n many x objects, but they're all references to the same object. They're not distinct instances, rather, just n references to the same instance.

To make a list of 3 different lists, do this:

x = [[] for i in range(3)]

This gives you 3 separate instances of [], which is what you want

[[]]*n is similar to

l = []
x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append(l)

While [[] for i in range(3)] is similar to:

x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append([])   # appending a new list!

In [20]: x = [[]] * 4

In [21]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[21]: [164363948, 164363948, 164363948, 164363948] # same id()'s for each list,i.e same object


In [22]: x=[[] for i in range(4)]

In [23]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[23]: [164382060, 164364140, 164363628, 164381292] #different id(), i.e unique objects this time

Get the system date and split day, month and year

You can do like follow:

 String date = DateTime.Now.Date.ToString();
    String Month = DateTime.Now.Month.ToString();
    String Year = DateTime.Now.Year.ToString();

On the place of datetime you can use your column..

Wampserver icon not going green fully, mysql services not starting up?

This happened to me today. Since I had not changed my system setting since yesterday, I assumed it's predominantly a mysql issue on the system. I managed to fix it in the following way.

  1. Open wampserver's mysql log file. This will contain information on why the service threw and error and exited prematurely.

  2. In my case, the mysql service failed to start because it could not read a certain tablespace. The specific tablespace was indicated in the log.

  3. Failure to read such a file could be because of file permissions or the file being broken. In such a case, mysql stops executing in order to avoid damaging a tablespace file that may be linked to a database you need. Usually, if you have a backup of the database, then it is safe to simply delete this problematic file and restore the database once your mysql service is started again.

  4. If you do not have a database backup then you could force the mysql instance to run a recovery by enabling the option in your my.cnf / my.ini file.

innodb_force_recovery = 1

This forces the instance to run the crash recovery.

NOTE: installing a new instance of mysql does not necessarily mean that your databases shall be retained. I suggest you run a nightly backup of your databases if you are working on huge projects.

Spring not autowiring in unit tests with JUnit

I'm using JUnit 5 and for me the problem was that I had imported Test from the wrong package:

How does HTTP_USER_AGENT work?

The user agent string is a text that the browsers themselves send to the webserver to identify themselves, so that websites can send different content based on the browser or based on browser compatibility.

Mozilla is a browser rendering engine (the one at the core of Firefox) and the fact that Chrome and IE contain the string Mozilla/4 or /5 identifies them as being compatible with that rendering engine.

Lua - Current time in milliseconds

in openresty there is a function ngx.req.start_time.

From the docs:

Returns a floating-point number representing the timestamp (including milliseconds as the decimal part) when the current request was created.

JWT (JSON Web Token) automatic prolongation of expiration

I was tinkering around when moving our applications to HTML5 with RESTful apis in the backend. The solution that I came up with was:

  1. Client is issued with a token with a session time of 30 mins (or whatever the usual server side session time) upon successful login.
  2. A client-side timer is created to call a service to renew the token before its expiring time. The new token will replace the existing in future calls.

As you can see, this reduces the frequent refresh token requests. If user closes the browser/app before the renew token call is triggered, the previous token will expire in time and user will have to re-login.

A more complicated strategy can be implemented to cater for user inactivity (e.g. neglected an opened browser tab). In that case, the renew token call should include the expected expiring time which should not exceed the defined session time. The application will have to keep track of the last user interaction accordingly.

I don't like the idea of setting long expiration hence this approach may not work well with native applications requiring less frequent authentication.

Convert array of strings to List<string>

From .Net 3.5 you can use LINQ extension method that (sometimes) makes code flow a bit better.

Usage looks like this:

using System.Linq; 

// ...

public void My()
{
    var myArray = new[] { "abc", "123", "zyx" };
    List<string> myList = myArray.ToList();
}

PS. There's also ToArray() method that works in other way.

A regex for version number parsing

Keep in mind regexp are greedy, so if you are just searching within the version number string and not within a bigger text, use ^ and $ to mark start and end of your string. The regexp from Greg seems to work fine (just gave it a quick try in my editor), but depending on your library/language the first part can still match the "*" within the wrong version numbers. Maybe I am missing something, as I haven't used Regexp for a year or so.

This should make sure you can only find correct version numbers:

^(\*|\d+(\.\d+)*(\.\*)?)$

edit: actually greg added them already and even improved his solution, I am too slow :)

Grid of responsive squares

Now we can easily do this using the aspect-ratio ref property

_x000D_
_x000D_
.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr)); /* 3 columns */
  grid-gap: 10px;
}

.container>* {
  aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; /* a square ratio */
  border: 1px solid;
  
  /* center content */
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  text-align: center;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
  display: block;
}
_x000D_
<div class="container">
  <div> some content here </div>
  <div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/25/400/400"></div>
  <div>
    <h1>a title</h1>
  </div>
  <div>more and more content <br>here</div>
  <div>
    <h2>another title</h2>
  </div>
  <div><img src="https://picsum.photos/id/104/400/400"></div>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Also like below where we can have a variable number of columns

Image height and width not working?

You must write

<img src="theSource" style="width:30px;height:30px;" />

Inline styling will always take precedence over CSS styling. The width and height attributes are being overridden by your stylesheet, so you need to switch to this format.

Concatenate two string literals

Since C++14 you can use two real string literals:

const string hello = "Hello"s;

const string message = hello + ",world"s + "!"s;

or

const string exclam = "!"s;

const string message = "Hello"s + ",world"s + exclam;

finding the type of an element using jQuery

You can use .prop() with tagName as the name of the property that you want to get:

$("#elementId").prop('tagName'); 

how to run vibrate continuously in iphone?

iOS 5 has implemented Custom Vibrations mode. So in some cases variable vibration is acceptable. The only thing is unknown what library deals with that (pretty sure not CoreTelephony) and if it is open for developers. So keep on searching.

Matplotlib 2 Subplots, 1 Colorbar

The solution of using a list of axes by abevieiramota works very well until you use only one row of images, as pointed out in the comments. Using a reasonable aspect ratio for figsize helps, but is still far from perfect. For example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=3, figsize=(9.75, 3))
for ax in axes.flat:
    im = ax.imshow(np.random.random((10,10)), vmin=0, vmax=1)

fig.colorbar(im, ax=axes.ravel().tolist())

plt.show()

1 x 3 image array

The colorbar function provides the shrink parameter which is a scaling factor for the size of the colorbar axes. It does require some manual trial and error. For example:

fig.colorbar(im, ax=axes.ravel().tolist(), shrink=0.75)

1 x 3 image array with shrunk colorbar

How to properly stop the Thread in Java?

I didn't get the interrupt to work in Android, so I used this method, works perfectly:

boolean shouldCheckUpdates = true;

private void startupCheckForUpdatesEveryFewSeconds() {
    threadCheckChat = new Thread(new CheckUpdates());
    threadCheckChat.start();
}

private class CheckUpdates implements Runnable{
    public void run() {
        while (shouldCheckUpdates){
            System.out.println("Do your thing here");
        }
    }
}

 public void stop(){
        shouldCheckUpdates = false;
 }

What is the main difference between Inheritance and Polymorphism?

Inheritance is more a static thing (one class extends another) while polymorphism is a dynamic/ runtime thing (an object behaves according to its dynamic/ runtime type not to its static/ declaration type).

E.g.

// This assignment is possible because B extends A
A a = new B();
// polymorphic call/ access
a.foo();

-> Though the static/ declaration type of a is A, the actual dynamic/ runtime type is B and thus a.foo() will execute foo as defined in B not in A.

Java count occurrence of each item in an array

I wrote a solution for this to practice myself. It doesn't seem nearly as awesome as the other answers posted, but I'm going to post it anyway, and then learn how to do this using the other methods as well. Enjoy:

public static Integer[] countItems(String[] arr)
{
    List<Integer> itemCount = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    Integer counter = 0;
    String lastItem = arr[0];

    for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
    {
        if(arr[i].equals(lastItem))
        {
            counter++;
        }
        else
        {
            itemCount.add(counter);
            counter = 1;
        }
        lastItem = arr[i];
    }
    itemCount.add(counter);

    return itemCount.toArray(new Integer[itemCount.size()]);
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String[] array = {"name1","name1","name2","name2", "name2", "name3",
            "name1","name1","name2","name2", "name2", "name3"};
    Arrays.sort(array);
    Integer[] cArr = countItems(array);
    int num = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < cArr.length; i++)
    {
        num += cArr[i]-1;
        System.out.println(array[num] + ": " + cArr[i].toString());
    }
}

Calculating the angle between the line defined by two points

in android i did this using kotlin:

private fun angleBetweenPoints(a: PointF, b: PointF): Double {
        val deltaY = abs(b.y - a.y)
        val deltaX = abs(b.x - a.x)
        return Math.toDegrees(atan2(deltaY.toDouble(), deltaX.toDouble()))
    }

JQuery, select first row of table

Ok so if an image in a table is clicked you want the data of the first row of the table this image is in.

//image click stuff here {
$(this). // our image
closest('table'). // Go upwards through our parents untill we hit the table
children('tr:first'); // Select the first row we find

var $row = $(this).closest('table').children('tr:first');

parent() will only get the direct parent, closest should do what we want here. From jQuery docs: Get the first ancestor element that matches the selector, beginning at the current element and progressing up through the DOM tree.

how to read xml file from url using php

file_get_contents() usually has permission issues. To avoid them, use:

function get_xml_from_url($url){
    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');

    $xmlstr = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    return $xmlstr;
}

Example:

$xmlstr = get_xml_from_url('http://www.camara.gov.br/SitCamaraWS/Deputados.asmx/ObterDeputados');
$xmlobj = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$xmlobj = (array)$xmlobj;//optional

How can I check whether a numpy array is empty or not?

Why would we want to check if an array is empty? Arrays don't grow or shrink in the same that lists do. Starting with a 'empty' array, and growing with np.append is a frequent novice error.

Using a list in if alist: hinges on its boolean value:

In [102]: bool([])                                                                       
Out[102]: False
In [103]: bool([1])                                                                      
Out[103]: True

But trying to do the same with an array produces (in version 1.18):

In [104]: bool(np.array([]))                                                             
/usr/local/bin/ipython3:1: DeprecationWarning: The truth value 
   of an empty array is ambiguous. Returning False, but in 
   future this will result in an error. Use `array.size > 0` to 
   check that an array is not empty.
  #!/usr/bin/python3
Out[104]: False

In [105]: bool(np.array([1]))                                                            
Out[105]: True

and bool(np.array([1,2]) produces the infamous ambiguity error.

edit

The accepted answer suggests size:

In [11]: x = np.array([])
In [12]: x.size
Out[12]: 0

But I (and most others) check the shape more than the size:

In [13]: x.shape
Out[13]: (0,)

Another thing in its favor is that it 'maps' on to an empty list:

In [14]: x.tolist()
Out[14]: []

But there are other other arrays with 0 size, that aren't 'empty' in that last sense:

In [15]: x = np.array([[]])
In [16]: x.size
Out[16]: 0
In [17]: x.shape
Out[17]: (1, 0)
In [18]: x.tolist()
Out[18]: [[]]
In [19]: bool(x.tolist())
Out[19]: True

np.array([[],[]]) is also size 0, but shape (2,0) and len 2.

While the concept of an empty list is well defined, an empty array is not well defined. One empty list is equal to another. The same can't be said for a size 0 array.

The answer really depends on

  • what do you mean by 'empty'?
  • what are you really test for?

What is the difference between static_cast<> and C style casting?

struct A {};
struct B : A {};
struct C {}; 

int main()
{
    A* a = new A;    

    int i = 10;

    a = (A*) (&i); // NO ERROR! FAIL!

    //a = static_cast<A*>(&i); ERROR! SMART!

    A* b = new B;

    B* b2 = static_cast<B*>(b); // NO ERROR! SMART!

    C* c = (C*)(b); // NO ERROR! FAIL!

    //C* c = static_cast<C*>(b); ERROR! SMART!
}

Windows.history.back() + location.reload() jquery

It will have already gone back before it executes the reload.

You would be better off to replace:

window.history.back();
location.reload(); 

with:

window.location.replace("pagehere.html");

How to install pkg config in windows?

for w64-based computers you have to install mingw64. If pkg-config.exe is missing then, you can refer to http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/dependencies/

Unzip and copy/merge pkg-config.exe into your C:\mingw-w64 installation, eg. into on my pc into C:\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\bin

Good examples using java.util.logging

I would suggest that you use Apache's commons logging utility. It is highly scalable and supports separate log files for different loggers. See here.

Resolving require paths with webpack

My biggest headache was working without a namespaced path. Something like this:

./src/app.js
./src/ui/menu.js
./node_modules/lodash/

Before I used to set my environment to do this:

require('app.js')
require('ui/menu')
require('lodash')

I found far more convenient avoiding an implicit src path, which hides important context information.

My aim is to require like this:

require('src/app.js')
require('src/ui/menu')
require('test/helpers/auth')
require('lodash')

As you see, all my app code lives within a mandatory path namespace. This makes quite clear which require call takes a library, app code or a test file.

For this I make sure that my resolve paths are just node_modules and the current app folder, unless you namespace your app inside your source folder like src/my_app

This is my default with webpack

resolve: {
  extensions: ['', '.jsx', '.js', '.json'],
  root: path.resolve(__dirname),
  modulesDirectories: ['node_modules']
}

It would be even better if you set the environment var NODE_PATH to your current project file. This is a more universal solution and it will help if you want to use other tools without webpack: testing, linting...

What is the purpose of "&&" in a shell command?

It's to execute a second statement if the first statement ends succesfully. Like an if statement:

 if (1 == 1 && 2 == 2)
  echo "test;"

Its first tries if 1==1, if that is true it checks if 2==2

Wait until boolean value changes it state

Ok maybe this one should solve your problem. Note that each time you make a change you call the change() method that releases the wait.

Integer any = new Integer(0);

public synchronized boolean waitTillChange() {
    any.wait();
    return true;
}

public synchronized void change() {
    any.notify();
}

How do I select elements of an array given condition?

I like to use np.vectorize for such tasks. Consider the following:

>>> # Arrays
>>> x = np.array([5, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5])
>>> y = np.array(['f','o','o','b','a','r'])

>>> # Function containing the constraints
>>> func = np.vectorize(lambda t: t>1 and t<5)

>>> # Call function on x
>>> y[func(x)]
>>> array(['o', 'o', 'a'], dtype='<U1')

The advantage is you can add many more types of constraints in the vectorized function.

Hope it helps.

What's the difference between "Request Payload" vs "Form Data" as seen in Chrome dev tools Network tab

The Request Payload - or to be more precise: payload body of a HTTP Request - is the data normally send by a POST or PUT Request. It's the part after the headers and the CRLF of a HTTP Request.

A request with Content-Type: application/json may look like this:

POST /some-path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

{ "foo" : "bar", "name" : "John" }

If you submit this per AJAX the browser simply shows you what it is submitting as payload body. That’s all it can do because it has no idea where the data is coming from.

If you submit a HTML-Form with method="POST" and Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded or Content-Type: multipart/form-data your request may look like this:

POST /some-path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

foo=bar&name=John

In this case the form-data is the request payload. Here the Browser knows more: it knows that bar is the value of the input-field foo of the submitted form. And that’s what it is showing to you.

So, they differ in the Content-Type but not in the way data is submitted. In both cases the data is in the message-body. And Chrome distinguishes how the data is presented to you in the Developer Tools.

Check an integer value is Null in c#

As stated above, ?? is the null coalescing operator. So the equivalent to

(Age ?? 0) == 0

without using the ?? operator is

(!Age.HasValue) || Age == 0

However, there is no version of .Net that has Nullable< T > but not ??, so your statement,

Now i have to check in a older application where the declaration part is not in ternary.

is doubly invalid.

How to convert a .eps file to a high quality 1024x1024 .jpg?

Maybe you should try it with -quality 100 -size "1024x1024", because resize often gives results that are ugly to view.

Found a swap file by the name

.MERGE_MSG.swp is open in your git, you just need to delete this .swp file. In my case I used following command and it worked fine.

How to get the selected item from ListView?

Since the onItemClickLitener() will itself provide you the index of the selected item, you can simply do a getItemAtPosition(i).toString(). The code snippet is given below :-

    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {

            String s = listView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();

            Toast.makeText(activity.getApplicationContext(), s, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            adapter.dismiss(); // If you want to close the adapter
        }
    });

On the method above, the i parameter actually gives you the position of the selected item.

Why can't a text column have a default value in MySQL?

Windows MySQL v5 throws an error but Linux and other versions only raise a warning. This needs to be fixed. WTF?

Also see an attempt to fix this as bug #19498 in the MySQL Bugtracker:

Bryce Nesbitt on April 4 2008 4:36pm:
On MS Windows the "no DEFAULT" rule is an error, while on other platforms it is often a warning. While not a bug, it's possible to get trapped by this if you write code on a lenient platform, and later run it on a strict platform:

Personally, I do view this as a bug. Searching for "BLOB/TEXT column can't have a default value" returns about 2,940 results on Google. Most of them are reports of incompatibilities when trying to install DB scripts that worked on one system but not others.

I am running into the same problem now on a webapp I'm modifying for one of my clients, originally deployed on Linux MySQL v5.0.83-log. I'm running Windows MySQL v5.1.41. Even trying to use the latest version of phpMyAdmin to extract the database, it doesn't report a default for the text column in question. Yet, when I try running an insert on Windows (that works fine on the Linux deployment) I receive an error of no default on ABC column. I try to recreate the table locally with the obvious default (based on a select of unique values for that column) and end up receiving the oh-so-useful BLOB/TEXT column can't have a default value.

Again, not maintaining basic compatability across platforms is unacceptable and is a bug.


How to disable strict mode in MySQL 5 (Windows):

  • Edit /my.ini and look for line

    sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
    
  • Replace it with

    sql_mode='MYSQL40'
    
  • Restart the MySQL service (assuming that it is mysql5)

    net stop mysql5
    net start mysql5
    

If you have root/admin access you might be able to execute

mysql_query("SET @@global.sql_mode='MYSQL40'");

Pyinstaller setting icons don't change

I think this might have something to do with caching (possibly in Windows Explorer). I was having the old PyInstaller icon show up in a few places too, but when I copied the exe somewhere else, all the old icons were gone.

How to create Select List for Country and States/province in MVC

Best way to make drop down list:

grid.Column("PriceType",canSort:true,header: "PriceType",format: @<span>
    <span id="[email protected]">@item.PriceTypeDescription</span>
    @Html.DropDownList("PriceType"+(int)item.ShoppingCartID,new SelectList(MvcApplication1.Services.ExigoApiContext.CreateODataContext().PriceTypes.Select(s => new { s.PriceTypeID, s.PriceTypeDescription }).AsEnumerable(),"PriceTypeID", "PriceTypeDescription",Convert.ToInt32(item.PriceTypeId)), new { @class = "PriceType",@style="width:120px;display:none",@selectedvalue="selected"})
        </span>),

To switch from vertical split to horizontal split fast in Vim

Ctrl-w followed by H, J, K or L (capital) will move the current window to the far left, bottom, top or right respectively like normal cursor navigation.

The lower case equivalents move focus instead of moving the window.

How do I find files that do not contain a given string pattern?

Open bug report

As commented by @tukan, there is an open bug report for Ag regarding the -L/--files-without-matches flag:

As there is little progress to the bug report, the -L option mentioned below should not be relied on, not as long as the bug has not been resolved. Use different approaches presented in this thread instead. Citing a comment for the bug report [emphasis mine]:

Any updates on this? -L completely ignores matches on the first line of the file. Seems like if this isn't going to be fixed soon, the flag should be removed entirely, as it effectively does not work as advertised at all.


The Silver Searcher - Ag (intended function - see bug report)

As a powerful alternative to grep, you could use the The Silver Searcher - Ag:

A code searching tool similar to ack, with a focus on speed.

Looking at man ag, we find the -L or --files-without-matches option:

...

OPTIONS
    ...

    -L --files-without-matches
           Only print the names of files that don´t contain matches.

I.e., to recursively search for files that do not match foo, from current directory:

ag -L foo

To only search current directory for files that do not match foo, simply specify --depth=0 for the recursion:

ag -L foo --depth 0

Are there any standard exit status codes in Linux?

There are no standard exit codes, aside from 0 meaning success. Non-zero doesn't necessarily mean failure either.

stdlib.h does define EXIT_FAILURE as 1 and EXIT_SUCCESS as 0, but that's about it.

The 11 on segfault is interesting, as 11 is the signal number that the kernel uses to kill the process in the event of a segfault. There is likely some mechanism, either in the kernel or in the shell, that translates that into the exit code.

What does the colon (:) operator do?

It will prints the string"something" three times.

JLabel[] labels = {new JLabel(), new JLabel(), new JLabel()};                   

for ( JLabel label : labels )                  
 {              
   label.setText("something");  

 panel.add(label);             
 }

ERROR: Sonar server 'http://localhost:9000' can not be reached

If you use SonarScanner CLI with Docker, you may have this error because the SonarScanner container can not access to the Sonar UI container.

Note that you will have the same error with a simple curl from another container:

docker run --rm byrnedo/alpine-curl 127.0.0.1:9000
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8080: Connection refused

The solution is to connect the SonarScanner container to the same docker network of your sonar instance, for instance with --network=host:

docker run --network=host -e SONAR_HOST_URL='http://127.0.0.1:9000' --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" -v "$PWD:/usr/src" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli

(other parameters of this command comes from the SonarScanner CLI documentation)

Div width 100% minus fixed amount of pixels

what if your wrapping div was 100% and you used padding for a pixel amount, then if the padding # needs to be dynamic, you can easily use jQuery to modify your padding amount when your events fire.
