POST JSON to API using Rails and HTTParty

I solved this by adding .to_json and some heading information

@result = HTTParty.post(@urlstring_to_post.to_str, 
    :body => { :subject => 'This is the screen name', 
               :issue_type => 'Application Problem',

             }.to_json,
    :headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' } )

how to solve Error cannot add duplicate collection entry of type add with unique key attribute 'value' in iis 7

IIS7 defines a defaultDocument section in its configuration files which can be found in the %WinDir%\System32\InetSrv\Config folder. Most likely, the file index.aspx is already defined as a default document in one of IIS7's configuration files and you are adding it again in your web.config.

I suspect that removing the line <add value="index.aspx" />

from the defaultDocument/files section will fix your issue.

The defaultDocument section of your config will look like:

<defaultDocument>
  <files>
    <remove value="default.aspx" />
    <remove value="index.html" />
    <remove value="iisstart.htm" />
    <remove value="index.htm" />
    <remove value="Default.asp" />
    <remove value="Default.htm" />
  </files>
</defaultDocument>

Note that index.aspx will still appear in the list of default documents for your site in the IIS manager.

How to center a table of the screen (vertically and horizontally)

Horizontal centering is easy. You just need to set both margins to "auto":

table {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

Vertical centering usually is achieved by setting the parent element display type to table-cell and using vertical-align property. Assuming you have a <div class="wrapper"> around your table:

.wrapper {
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

More detailed information may be found on http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/center

If you need support for older versions of Internet Explorer (I do not know what works in what version of this strange and rarely used browser ;-) ) then you may want to search the web for more information, like: http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html (just a first hit, which seems to mention IE)

How to make graphics with transparent background in R using ggplot2?

There is also a plot.background option in addition to panel.background:

df <- data.frame(y=d,x=1)
p <- ggplot(df) + stat_boxplot(aes(x = x,y=y)) 
p <- p + opts(
    panel.background = theme_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA), # or theme_blank()
    panel.grid.minor = theme_blank(), 
    panel.grid.major = theme_blank(),
    plot.background = theme_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA)
)
#returns white background
png('tr_tst2.png',width=300,height=300,units="px",bg = "transparent")
print(p)
dev.off()

For some reason, the uploaded image is displaying differently than on my computer, so I've omitted it. But for me, I get a plot with an entirely gray background except for the box part of the boxplot which is still white. That can be changed using the fill aesthetic in the boxplot geom as well, I believe.

Edit

ggplot2 has since been updated and the opts() function has been deprecated. Currently, you would use theme() instead of opts() and element_rect() instead of theme_rect(), etc.

Allow only numeric value in textbox using Javascript

Please note that, you should allow "system" key as well

    $(element).keydown(function (e) {
    var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which), value;
    if (isSysKey(code) || code === 8 || code === 46) {
        return true;
    }

    if (e.shiftKey || e.altKey || e.ctrlKey) {
        return ;
    }

    if (code >= 48 && code <= 57) {
        return true;
    }

    if (code >= 96 && code <= 105) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
});

function isSysKey(code) {
    if (code === 40 || code === 38 ||
            code === 13 || code === 39 || code === 27 ||
            code === 35 ||

            (code >= 112 && code <= 123)) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

How to remove newlines from beginning and end of a string?

This Java code does exactly what is asked in the title of the question, that is "remove newlines from beginning and end of a string-java":

String.replaceAll("^[\n\r]", "").replaceAll("[\n\r]$", "")

Remove newlines only from the end of the line:

String.replaceAll("[\n\r]$", "")

Remove newlines only from the beginning of the line:

String.replaceAll("^[\n\r]", "")

What is android:weightSum in android, and how does it work?

If unspecified, the sum is computed by adding the layout_weight of all of the children. This can be used for instance to give a single child 50% of the total available space by giving it a layout_weight of 0.5 and setting the weightSum to 1.0. Must be a floating point value, such as "1.2"

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/main_rel"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:weightSum="2.0" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/child_one"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1.0"
            android:background="#0000FF" >
        </RelativeLayout>

        <RelativeLayout

How to show only next line after the matched one?

It looks like you're using the wrong tool there. Grep isn't that sophisticated, I think you want to step up to awk as the tool for the job:

Automatic HTTPS connection/redirect with node.js/express

You can instantiate 2 Node.js servers - one for HTTP and HTTPS

You can also define a setup function that both servers will execute, so that you don't have to write much duplicated code.

Here's the way I did it: (using restify.js, but should work for express.js, or node itself too)

df$count = table(fact)[fact]

How do I send an HTML Form in an Email .. not just MAILTO

CASE IN statement with multiple values

The question is specific to SQL Server, but I would like to extend Martin Smith's answer.

SQL:2003 standard allows to define multiple values for simple case expression:

SELECT CASE c.Number
          WHEN '1121231','31242323' THEN 1
          WHEN '234523','2342423' THEN 2
       END AS Test
FROM tblClient c;

It is optional feature: Comma-separated predicates in simple CASE expression“ (F263).

Syntax:

CASE <common operand>
     WHEN <expression>[, <expression> ...] THEN <result>
    [WHEN <expression>[, <expression> ...] THEN <result>
     ...]
    [ELSE <result>]
END

As for know I am not aware of any RDBMS that actually supports that syntax.

How to access single elements in a table in R

?"[" pretty much covers the various ways of accessing elements of things.

Under usage it lists these:

x[i]
x[i, j, ... , drop = TRUE]
x[[i, exact = TRUE]]
x[[i, j, ..., exact = TRUE]]
x$name
getElement(object, name)

x[i] <- value
x[i, j, ...] <- value
x[[i]] <- value
x$i <- value

The second item is sufficient for your purpose

Under Arguments it points out that with [ the arguments i and j can be numeric, character or logical

So these work:

data[1,1]
data[1,"V1"]

As does this:

data$V1[1]

and keeping in mind a data frame is a list of vectors:

data[[1]][1]
data[["V1"]][1]

will also both work.

So that's a few things to be going on with. I suggest you type in the examples at the bottom of the help page one line at a time (yes, actually type the whole thing in one line at a time and see what they all do, you'll pick up stuff very quickly and the typing rather than copypasting is an important part of helping to commit it to memory.)

How to identify which columns are not "NA" per row in a matrix?

Try:

which( !is.na(p), arr.ind=TRUE)

Which I think is just as informative and probably more useful than the output you specified, But if you really wanted the list version, then this could be used:

> apply(p, 1, function(x) which(!is.na(x)) )
[[1]]
[1] 2 3

[[2]]
[1] 4 7

[[3]]
integer(0)

[[4]]
[1] 5

[[5]]
integer(0)

Or even with smushing together with paste:

lapply(apply(p, 1, function(x) which(!is.na(x)) ) , paste, collapse=", ")

The output from which function the suggested method delivers the row and column of non-zero (TRUE) locations of logical tests:

> which( !is.na(p), arr.ind=TRUE)
     row col
[1,]   1   2
[2,]   1   3
[3,]   2   4
[4,]   4   5
[5,]   2   7

Without the arr.ind parameter set to non-default TRUE, you only get the "vector location" determined using the column major ordering the R has as its convention. R-matrices are just "folded vectors".

> which( !is.na(p) )
[1]  6 11 17 24 32

How can I get the last character in a string?

It does it:

myString.substr(-1);

This returns a substring of myString starting at one character from the end: the last character.

This also works:

myString.charAt(myString.length-1);

And this too:

myString.slice(-1);

How to troubleshoot an "AttributeError: __exit__" in multiproccesing in Python?

How to round up integer division and have int result in Java?

Expanding on Peter's solution, this is what I've found works for me to always round 'towards positive infinity':

public static long divideAndRoundUp(long num, long divisor) {
    if (num == 0 || divisor == 0) { return 0; }

    int sign = (num > 0 ? 1 : -1) * (divisor > 0 ? 1 : -1);

    if (sign > 0) {
        return (num + divisor - 1) / divisor;
    }
    else {
        return (num / divisor);
    }
}

Adding Only Untracked Files

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I've found this quite helpful:

git add -AN

Will add all files to the index, but without their content. Files that were untracked now behave as if they were tracked. Their content will be displayed in git diff, and you can add then interactively with git add -p.

No module named pkg_resources

I have seen this error while trying to install rhodecode to a virtualenv on ubuntu 13.10. For me the solution was to run

pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade distribute 

before I run easy_install rhodecode.

How to set the first option on a select box using jQuery?

Use this if you want to reset the select to the option which has the "selected" attribute. Works similar to the form.reset() inbuilt javascript function to the select.

 $("#name").val($("#name option[selected]").val());

Check if a string is a date value

This is how I solved this problem in an app I'm working on right now:

updated based on feedback from krillgar:

var isDate = function(date) {
    return (new Date(date) !== "Invalid Date") && !isNaN(new Date(date));
}

Get ASCII value at input word

There is a major gotcha associated with getting an ASCII code of a char value.

In the proper sense, it can't be done.

It's because char has a range of 65535 whereas ASCII is restricted to 128. There is a huge amount of characters that have no ASCII representation at all.

The proper way would be to use a Unicode code point which is the standard numerical equivalent of a character in the Java universe.

Thankfully, Unicode is a complete superset of ASCII. That means Unicode numbers for Latin characters are equal to their ASCII counterparts. For example, A in Unicode is U+0041 or 65 in decimal. In contrast, ASCII has no mapping for 99% of char-s. Long story short:

char ch = 'A';
int cp = String.valueOf(ch).codePointAt(0);

Furthermore, a 16-bit primitive char actually represents a code unit, not a character and is thus restricted to Basic Multilingual Plane, for historical reasons. Entities beyond it require Character objects which deal away with the fixed bit-length limitation.

YouTube iframe API: how do I control an iframe player that's already in the HTML?

You can do this with far less code:

function callPlayer(func, args) {
    var i = 0,
        iframes = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe'),
        src = '';
    for (i = 0; i < iframes.length; i += 1) {
        src = iframes[i].getAttribute('src');
        if (src && src.indexOf('youtube.com/embed') !== -1) {
            iframes[i].contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({
                'event': 'command',
                'func': func,
                'args': args || []
            }), '*');
        }
    }
}

How do I deal with "signed/unsigned mismatch" warnings (C4018)?

You can use:

  1. size_t type, to remove warning messages
  2. iterators + distance (like are first hint)
  3. only iterators
  4. function object

For example:

// simple class who output his value
class ConsoleOutput
{
public:
  ConsoleOutput(int value):m_value(value) { }
  int Value() const { return m_value; }
private:
  int m_value;
};

// functional object
class Predicat
{
public:
  void operator()(ConsoleOutput const& item)
  {
    std::cout << item.Value() << std::endl;
  }
};

void main()
{
  // fill list
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput> list;
  list.push_back(ConsoleOutput(1));
  list.push_back(ConsoleOutput(8));

  // 1) using size_t
  for (size_t i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)
  {
    std::cout << list.at(i).Value() << std::endl;
  }

  // 2) iterators + distance, for std::distance only non const iterators
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput>::iterator itDistance = list.begin(), endDistance = list.end();
  for ( ; itDistance != endDistance; ++itDistance)
  {
    // int or size_t
    int const position = static_cast<int>(std::distance(list.begin(), itDistance));
    std::cout << list.at(position).Value() << std::endl;
  }

  // 3) iterators
  std::vector<ConsoleOutput>::const_iterator it = list.begin(), end = list.end();
  for ( ; it != end; ++it)
  {
    std::cout << (*it).Value() << std::endl;
  }
  // 4) functional objects
  std::for_each(list.begin(), list.end(), Predicat());
}

How to sort an array in Bash

There is a workaround for the usual problem of spaces and newlines:

Use a character that is not in the original array (like $'\1' or $'\4' or similar).

This function gets the job done:

# Sort an Array may have spaces or newlines with a workaround (wa=$'\4')
sortarray(){ local wa=$'\4' IFS=''
             if [[ $* =~ [$wa] ]]; then
                 echo "$0: error: array contains the workaround char" >&2
                 exit 1
             fi

             set -f; local IFS=$'\n' x nl=$'\n'
             set -- $(printf '%s\n' "${@//$nl/$wa}" | sort -n)
             for    x
             do     sorted+=("${x//$wa/$nl}")
             done
       }

This will sort the array:

$ array=( a b 'c d' $'e\nf' $'g\1h')
$ sortarray "${array[@]}"
$ printf '<%s>\n' "${sorted[@]}"
<a>
<b>
<c d>
<e
f>
<gh>

This will complain that the source array contains the workaround character:

$ array=( a b 'c d' $'e\nf' $'g\4h')
$ sortarray "${array[@]}"
./script: error: array contains the workaround char

description

  • We set two local variables wa (workaround char) and a null IFS
  • Then (with ifs null) we test that the whole array $*.
  • Does not contain any woraround char [[ $* =~ [$wa] ]].
  • If it does, raise a message and signal an error: exit 1
  • Avoid filename expansions: set -f
  • Set a new value of IFS (IFS=$'\n') a loop variable x and a newline var (nl=$'\n').
  • We print all values of the arguments received (the input array $@).
  • but we replace any new line by the workaround char "${@//$nl/$wa}".
  • send those values to be sorted sort -n.
  • and place back all the sorted values in the positional arguments set --.
  • Then we assign each argument one by one (to preserve newlines).
  • in a loop for x
  • to a new array: sorted+=(…)
  • inside quotes to preserve any existing newline.
  • restoring the workaround to a newline "${x//$wa/$nl}".
  • done

What exactly is the meaning of an API?

1) What is an API?

API is a contract. A promise to perform described services when asked in specific ways.

2) How is it used?

According to the rules specified in the contract. The whole point of an API is to define how it's used.

3) When and where is it used?

It's used when 2 or more separate systems need to work together to achieve something they can't do alone.

How to INNER JOIN 3 tables using CodeIgniter

For executing pure SQL statements (I Don't Know About the FRAMEWORK- CodeIGNITER!!!) you can use SUB QUERY! The Syntax Would be as follows

SELECT t1.id FROM example t1 INNER JOIN (select id from (example2 t1 join example3 t2 on t1.id = t2.id)) as t2 ON t1.id = t2.id;

Hope you Get My Point!

Iterate over object keys in node.js

For simple iteration of key/values, sometimes libraries like underscorejs can be your friend.

const _ = require('underscore');

_.each(a, function (value, key) {
    // handle
});

just for reference

Changing date format in R

You could also use the parse_date_time function from the lubridate package:

library(lubridate)
day<-"31/08/2011"
as.Date(parse_date_time(day,"dmy"))
[1] "2011-08-31"

parse_date_time returns a POSIXct object, so we use as.Date to get a date object. The first argument of parse_date_time specifies a date vector, the second argument specifies the order in which your format occurs. The orders argument makes parse_date_time very flexible.

How do you log all events fired by an element in jQuery?

function bindAllEvents (el) {
  for (const key in el) {
      if (key.slice(0, 2) === 'on') {
          el.addEventListener(key.slice(2), e => console.log(e.type));
      }
  }
}
bindAllEvents($('.yourElement'))

This uses a bit of ES6 for prettiness, but can easily be translated for legacy browsers as well. In the function attached to the event listeners, it's currently just logging out what kind of event occurred but this is where you could print out additional information, or using a switch case on the e.type, you could only print information on specific events

Confusion: @NotNull vs. @Column(nullable = false) with JPA and Hibernate

@NotNull is a JSR 303 Bean Validation annotation. It has nothing to do with database constraints itself. As Hibernate is the reference implementation of JSR 303, however, it intelligently picks up on these constraints and translates them into database constraints for you, so you get two for the price of one. @Column(nullable = false) is the JPA way of declaring a column to be not-null. I.e. the former is intended for validation and the latter for indicating database schema details. You're just getting some extra (and welcome!) help from Hibernate on the validation annotations.

CSS /JS to prevent dragging of ghost image?

This will disable dragging for an image in all browsers, while preserving other events such as click and hover. Works as long as any of HTML5, JS, or CSS are available.

<img draggable="false" onmousedown="return false" style="user-drag: none" />

If you're confident the user will have JS, you only need to use the JS attribute, etc. For more flexibility, look into ondragstart, onselectstart, and some WebKit tap/touch CSS.

How to remove the last character from a string?

Here's an answer that works with codepoints outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane (Java 8+).

Using streams:

public String method(String str) {
    return str.codePoints()
            .limit(str.codePoints().count() - 1)
            .mapToObj(i->new String(Character.toChars(i)))
            .collect(Collectors.joining());
}

More efficient maybe:

public String method(String str) {
    return str.isEmpty()? "": str.substring(0, str.length() - Character.charCount(str.codePointBefore(str.length())));
}

Static Classes In Java

Can a class be static in Java ?

The answer is YES, we can have static class in java. In java, we have static instance variables as well as static methods and also static block. Classes can also be made static in Java.

In java, we can’t make Top-level (outer) class static. Only nested classes can be static.

static nested class vs non-static nested class

1) Nested static class doesn’t need a reference of Outer class, but Non-static nested class or Inner class requires Outer class reference.

2) Inner class(or non-static nested class) can access both static and non-static members of Outer class. A static class cannot access non-static members of the Outer class. It can access only static members of Outer class.

see here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/nested.html

Error: Could not find or load main class

java -verbose:class HelloWorld might help you understand which classes are being loaded.

Also, as mentioned before, remember to call the full qualified name (i.e. include package).

What does a lazy val do?

The difference between them is, that a val is executed when it is defined whereas a lazy val is executed when it is accessed the first time.

scala> val x = { println("x"); 15 }
x
x: Int = 15

scala> lazy val y = { println("y"); 13 }
y: Int = <lazy>

scala> x
res2: Int = 15

scala> y
y
res3: Int = 13

scala> y
res4: Int = 13

In contrast to a method (defined with def) a lazy val is executed once and then never again. This can be useful when an operation takes long time to complete and when it is not sure if it is later used.

scala> class X { val x = { Thread.sleep(2000); 15 } }
defined class X

scala> class Y { lazy val y = { Thread.sleep(2000); 13 } }
defined class Y

scala> new X
res5: X = X@262505b7 // we have to wait two seconds to the result

scala> new Y
res6: Y = Y@1555bd22 // this appears immediately

Here, when the values x and y are never used, only x unnecessarily wasting resources. If we suppose that y has no side effects and that we do not know how often it is accessed (never, once, thousands of times) it is useless to declare it as def since we don't want to execute it several times.

If you want to know how lazy vals are implemented, see this question.

Prevent row names to be written to file when using write.csv

write.csv(t, "t.csv", row.names=FALSE)

From ?write.csv:

row.names: either a logical value indicating whether the row names of
          ‘x’ are to be written along with ‘x’, or a character vector
          of row names to be written.

ORA-01008: not all variables bound. They are bound

The solution in my situation was similar answer to Charles Burns; and the problem was related to SQL code comments.

I was building (or updating, rather) an already-functioning SSRS report with Oracle datasource. I added some more parameters to the report, tested it in Visual Studio, it works great, so I deployed it to the report server, and then when the report is executed the report on the server I got the error message:

"ORA-01008: not all variables bound"

I tried quite a few different things (TNSNames.ora file installed on the server, Removed single line comments, Validate dataset query mapping). What it came down to was I had to remove a comment block directly after the WHERE keyword. The error message was resolved after moving the comment block after the WHERE CLAUSE conditions. I have other comments in the code also. It was just the one after the WHERE keyword causing the error.

SQL with error: "ORA-01008: not all variables bound"...

How can I convert a Timestamp into either Date or DateTime object?

java.time

Modern answer: use java.time, the modern Java date and time API, for your date and time work. Back in 2011 it was right to use the Timestamp class, but since JDBC 4.2 it is no longer advised.

For your work we need a time zone and a couple of formatters. We may as well declare them static:

static ZoneId zone = ZoneId.of("America/Marigot");
static DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/uuuu");
static DateTimeFormatter timeFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm xx");

Now the code could be for example:

    while(resultSet.next()) {
        ZonedDateTime dtStart = resultSet.getObject("dtStart", OffsetDateTime.class)
                 .atZoneSameInstant(zone);

        // I would like to then have the date and time
        // converted into the formats mentioned...
        String dateFormatted = dtStart.format(dateFormatter);
        String timeFormatted = dtStart.format(timeFormatter);
        System.out.format("Date: %s; time: %s%n", dateFormatted, timeFormatted);
    }

Example output (using the time your question was asked):

Date: 09/20/2011; time: 18:13 -0400

In your database timestamp with time zone is recommended for timestamps. If this is what you’ve got, retrieve an OffsetDateTime as I am doing in the code. I am also converting the retrieved value to the user’s time zone before formatting date and time separately. As time zone I supplied America/Marigot as an example, please supply your own. You may also leave out the time zone conversion if you don’t want any, of course.

If the datatype in SQL is a mere timestamp without time zone, retrieve a LocalDateTime instead. For example:

        ZonedDateTime dtStart = resultSet.getObject("dtStart", LocalDateTime.class)
                 .atZone(zone);

No matter the details I trust you to do similarly for dtEnd.

I wasn’t sure what you meant by the xx in HH:MM xx. I just left it in the format pattern string, which yields the UTC offset in hours and minutes without colon.

//ouputs as
{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}


$b = array ('m' => 'monkey', 'foo' => 'bar', 'x' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));
$results = print_r($b, true); // $results now contains output from print_r

Current timestamp as filename in Java

Improving the @Derek Springer post with fill length function:

public static String getFileWithDate(String fileName, String fileSaperator, String dateFormat) {
    String FileNamePrefix = fileName.substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf(fileSaperator));
    String FileNameSuffix = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf(fileSaperator)+1, fileName.length());
    //System.out.println("File= Prefix~Suffix:"+FileNamePrefix +"~"+FileNameSuffix);
    
    String newFileName = new SimpleDateFormat("'"+FileNamePrefix+"_'"+dateFormat+"'"+fileSaperator+FileNameSuffix+"'").format(new Date());
    System.out.println("New File:"+newFileName);
    return newFileName;
}

Using the funciton and its Output:

String fileSaperator = ".", format = "yyyyMMMdd_HHmm";
getFileWithDate("Text1.txt", fileSaperator, format);
getFileWithDate("Text1.doc", fileSaperator, format);
getFileWithDate("Text1.txt.json", fileSaperator, format);

Output:

Old File:Text1.txt   New File:Text1_2020Nov11_1807.txt
Old File:Text1.doc   New File:Text1_2020Nov11_1807.doc
Old File:Text1.txt.json  New File:Text1.txt_2020Nov11_1807.json

SQL Transaction Error: The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file

I have encountered this error while updating records from table which has trigger enabled. For example - I have trigger 'Trigger1' on table 'Table1'. When I tried to update the 'Table1' using the update query - it throws the same error. THis is because if you are updating more than 1 record in your query, then 'Trigger1' will throw this error as it doesn't support updating multiple entries if it is enabled on same table. I tried disabling trigger before update and then performed update operation and it was completed without any error.

How can I use JavaScript in Java?

You can use ScriptEngine, example:


public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        StringBuffer javascript = null;
        ScriptEngine runtime = null;

        try {
            runtime = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("javascript");
            javascript = new StringBuffer();

            javascript.append("1 + 1");

            double result = (Double) runtime.eval(javascript.toString());

            System.out.println("Result: " + result);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Converting Long to Date in Java returns 1970

tl;dr

java.time.Instant                    // Represent a moment as seen in UTC. Internally, a count of nanoseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00Z.
.ofEpochSecond( 1_220_227_200L )     // Pass a count of whole seconds since the same epoch reference of 1970-01-01T00:00Z.

Know Your Data

People use various precisions in tracking time as a number since an epoch. So when you obtain some numbers to be interpreted as a count since an epoch, you must determine:

  • What epoch?
    Many epochs dates have been used in various systems. Commonly used is POSIX/Unix time, where the epoch is the first moment of 1970 in UTC. But you should not assume this epoch.
  • What precision?
    Are we talking seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds since the epoch?
  • What time zone?
    Usually a count since epoch is in UTC/GMT time zone, that is, has no time zone offset at all. But sometimes, when involving inexperienced or date-time ignorant programmers, there may be an implied time zone.

In your case, as others noted, you seem to have been given seconds since the Unix epoch. But you are passing those seconds to a constructor that expects milliseconds. So the solution is to multiply by 1,000.

Lessons learned:

  • Determine, don't assume, the meaning of received data.
  • Read the doc.

Graph showing various granularities of resolution in date-time systems including whole seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, and nanoseconds.

Your Data

Your data seems to be in whole seconds. If we assume an epoch of the beginning of 1970, and if we assume UTC time zone, then 1,220,227,200 is the first moment of the first day of September 2008.

Joda-Time

The java.util.Date and .Calendar classes bundled with Java are notoriously troublesome. Avoid them. Use instead either the Joda-Time library or the new java.time package bundled in Java 8 (and inspired by Joda-Time).

Note that unlike j.u.Date, a DateTime in Joda-Time truly knows its own assigned time zone. So in the example Joda-Time 2.4 code seen below, note that we first parse the milliseconds using the default assumption of UTC. Then, secondly, we assign a time zone of Paris to adjust. Same moment in the timeline of the Universe, but different wall-clock time. For demonstration, we adjust again, to UTC. Almost always better to explicitly specify your desired/expected time zone rather than rely on an implicit default (often the cause of trouble in date-time work).

We need milliseconds to construct a DateTime. So take your input of seconds, and multiply by a thousand. Note that the result must be a 64-bit long as we would overflow a 32-bit int.

long input = 1_220_227_200L;  // Note the "L" appended to long integer literals.
long milliseconds = ( input * 1_000L ); // Use a "long", not the usual "int". Note the appended "L".

Feed that count of milliseconds to constructor. That particular constructor assumes the count is from the Unix epoch of 1970. So adjust time zone as desired, after construction.

Use proper time zone names, a combination of continent and city/region. Never use 3 or 4 letter codes such as EST as they are neither standardized not unique.

DateTime dateTimeParis = new DateTime( milliseconds ).withZone( DateTimeZone.forID( "Europe/Paris" ) );

For demonstration, adjust the time zone again.

DateTime dateTimeUtc = dateTimeParis.withZone( DateTimeZone.UTC );
DateTime dateTimeMontréal = dateTimeParis.withZone( DateTimeZone.forID( "America/Montreal" ) );

Dump to console. Note how the date is different in Montréal, as the new day has begun in Europe but not yet in America.

System.out.println( "dateTimeParis: " + dateTimeParis );
System.out.println( "dateTimeUTC: " + dateTimeUtc );
System.out.println( "dateTimeMontréal: " + dateTimeMontréal );

When run.

dateTimeParis: 2008-09-01T02:00:00.000+02:00
dateTimeUTC: 2008-09-01T00:00:00.000Z
dateTimeMontréal: 2008-08-31T20:00:00.000-04:00

java.time

The makers of Joda-Time have asked us to migrate to its replacement, the java.time framework as soon as is convenient. While Joda-Time continues to be actively supported, all future development will be done on the java.time classes and their extensions in the ThreeTen-Extra project.

The java-time framework is defined by JSR 310 and built into Java 8 and later. The java.time classes have been back-ported to Java 6 & 7 on the ThreeTen-Backport project and to Android in the ThreeTenABP project.

An Instant is a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds. Its epoch is the first moment of 1970 in UTC.

Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochSecond( 1_220_227_200L );

Apply an offset-from-UTC ZoneOffset to get an OffsetDateTime.

Better yet, if known, apply a time zone ZoneId to get a ZonedDateTime.

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant( instant , zoneId );

How to make script execution wait until jquery is loaded

the easiest and safest way is to use something like this:

var waitForJQuery = setInterval(function () {
    if (typeof $ != 'undefined') {

        // place your code here.

        clearInterval(waitForJQuery);
    }
}, 10);

Copy array by value

Make copy of multidimensional array/object:

function deepCopy(obj) {
   if (Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Array]') {
      var out = [], i = 0, len = obj.length;
      for ( ; i < len; i++ ) {
         out[i] = arguments.callee(obj[i]);
      }
      return out;
   }
   if (typeof obj === 'object') {
      var out = {}, i;
      for ( i in obj ) {
         out[i] = arguments.callee(obj[i]);
      }
      return out;
   }
   return obj;
}

Thanks to James Padolsey for this function.

What is the difference between == and equals() in Java?

The difference between == and equals confused me for sometime until I decided to have a closer look at it. Many of them say that for comparing string you should use equals and not ==. Hope in this answer I will be able to say the difference.

The best way to answer this question will be by asking a few questions to yourself. so let's start:

What is the output for the below program:

String mango = "mango";
String mango2 = "mango";
System.out.println(mango != mango2);
System.out.println(mango == mango2);

if you say,

false
true

I will say you are right but why did you say that? and If you say the output is,

true
false

I will say you are wrong but I will still ask you, why you think that is right?

Ok, Let's try to answer this one:

What is the output for the below program:

String mango = "mango";
String mango3 = new String("mango");
System.out.println(mango != mango3);
System.out.println(mango == mango3);

Now If you say,

false
true

I will say you are wrong but why is it wrong now? the correct output for this program is

true
false

Please compare the above program and try to think about it.

Ok. Now this might help (please read this : print the address of object - not possible but still we can use it.)

String mango = "mango";
String mango2 = "mango";
String mango3 = new String("mango");
System.out.println(mango != mango2);
System.out.println(mango == mango2);
System.out.println(mango3 != mango2);
System.out.println(mango3 == mango2);
// mango2 = "mang";
System.out.println(mango+" "+ mango2);
System.out.println(mango != mango2);
System.out.println(mango == mango2);

System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(mango));
System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(mango2));
System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(mango3));

can you just try to think about the output of the last three lines in the code above: for me ideone printed this out (you can check the code here):

false
true
true
false
mango mango
false
true
17225372
17225372
5433634

Oh! Now you see the identityHashCode(mango) is equal to identityHashCode(mango2) But it is not equal to identityHashCode(mango3)

Even though all the string variables - mango, mango2 and mango3 - have the same value, which is "mango", identityHashCode() is still not the same for all.

Now try to uncomment this line // mango2 = "mang"; and run it again this time you will see all three identityHashCode() are different. Hmm that is a helpful hint

we know that if hashcode(x)=N and hashcode(y)=N => x is equal to y

I am not sure how java works internally but I assume this is what happened when I said:

mango = "mango";

java created a string "mango" which was pointed(referenced) by the variable mango something like this

mango ----> "mango"

Now in the next line when I said:

mango2 = "mango";

It actually reused the same string "mango" which looks something like this

mango ----> "mango" <---- mango2

Both mango and mango2 pointing to the same reference Now when I said

mango3 = new String("mango")

It actually created a completely new reference(string) for "mango". which looks something like this,

mango -----> "mango" <------ mango2

mango3 ------> "mango"

and that's why when I put out the values for mango == mango2, it put out true. and when I put out the value for mango3 == mango2, it put out false (even when the values were the same).

and when you uncommented the line // mango2 = "mang"; It actually created a string "mang" which turned our graph like this:

mango ---->"mango"
mango2 ----> "mang"
mango3 -----> "mango"

This is why the identityHashCode is not the same for all.

Hope this helps you guys. Actually, I wanted to generate a test case where == fails and equals() pass. Please feel free to comment and let me know If I am wrong.

Printing result of mysql query from variable

This will print out the query:

$query = "SELECT order_date, no_of_items, shipping_charge, SUM(total_order_amount) as test FROM `orders` WHERE DATE(`order_date`) = DATE(NOW()) GROUP BY DATE(`order_date`)";

$dave= mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
print $query;

This will print out the results:

$query = "SELECT order_date, no_of_items, shipping_charge, SUM(total_order_amount) as test FROM `orders` WHERE DATE(`order_date`) = DATE(NOW()) GROUP BY DATE(`order_date`)";

$dave= mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($dave)){
    foreach($row as $cname => $cvalue){
        print "$cname: $cvalue\t";
    }
    print "\r\n";
}

HashMap to return default value for non-found keys?

    public final Map<String, List<String>> stringMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, List<String>>() {
        @Nullable
        @Override
        public List<String> get(@NonNull Object key) {
            return computeIfAbsent((String) key, s -> new ArrayList<String>());
        }
    };

HashMap cause dead loop, so use ConcurrentHashMap instead of HashMap,

Android overlay a view ontop of everything?

I have tried the awnsers before but this did not work. Now I jsut used a LinearLayout instead of a TextureView, now it is working without any problem. Hope it helps some others who have the same problem. :)

    openWindowOnButtonClick();

public void openWindowOnButtonClick()
{
    view.setAlpha((float)0.5);

    final InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(getBaseContext().INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    fb.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            // check if the Overlay should be visible. If this value is false, it is not shown -> show it.
            if(view.getVisibility() == View.INVISIBLE)
            {
                view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                keyboard.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
                Log.d("Overlay", "Klick");
            }
            else if(view.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE)
            {
                view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                keyboard.toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
            }

How to compare 2 dataTables

If you were returning a DataTable as a function you could:

DataTable dataTable1; // Load with data
DataTable dataTable2; // Load with data (same schema)

// Fast check for row count equality.
if ( dataTable1.Rows.Count != dataTable2.Rows.Count) {
    return true;
}

var differences =
    dataTable1.AsEnumerable().Except(dataTable2.AsEnumerable(),
                                            DataRowComparer.Default);

return differences.Any() ? differences.CopyToDataTable() : new DataTable();

How do I escape double and single quotes in sed?

My problem was that I needed to have the "" outside the expression since I have a dynamic variable inside the sed expression itself. So than the actual solution is that one from lenn jackman that you replace the " inside the sed regex with [\"].

So my complete bash is:

RELEASE_VERSION="0.6.6"

sed -i -e "s#value=[\"]trunk[\"]#value=\"tags/$RELEASE_VERSION\"#g" myfile.xml

Here is:

# is the sed separator

[\"] = " in regex

value = \"tags/$RELEASE_VERSION\" = my replacement string, important it has just the \" for the quotes

Understanding the Gemfile.lock file

It looks to me like PATH lists the first-generation dependencies directly from your gemspec, whereas GEM lists second-generation dependencies (i.e. what your dependencies depend on) and those from your Gemfile. PATH::remote is . because it relied on a local gemspec in the current directory to find out what belongs in PATH::spec, whereas GEM::remote is rubygems.org, since that's where it had to go to find out what belongs in GEM::spec.

In a Rails plugin, you'll see a PATH section, but not in a Rails app. Since the app doesn't have a gemspec file, there would be nothing to put in PATH.

As for DEPENDENCIES, gembundler.com states:

Runtime dependencies in your gemspec are treated like base dependencies, 
and development dependencies are added by default to the group, :development

The Gemfile generated by rails plugin new my_plugin says something similar:

# Bundler will treat runtime dependencies like base dependencies, and
# development dependencies will be added by default to the :development group.

What this means is that the difference between

s.add_development_dependency "july" # (1)

and

s.add_dependency "july" # (2)

is that (1) will only include "july" in Gemfile.lock (and therefore in the application) in a development environment. So when you run bundle install, you'll see "july" not only under PATH but also under DEPENDENCIES, but only in development. In production, it won't be there at all. However, when you use (2), you'll see "july" only in PATH, not in DEPENDENCIES, but it will show up when you bundle install from a production environment (i.e. in some other gem that includes yours as a dependency), not only development.

These are just my observations and I can't fully explain why any of this is the way it is but I welcome further comments.

CSS Selector "(A or B) and C"?

If you have this:

<div class="a x">Foo</div>
<div class="b x">Bar</div>
<div class="c x">Baz</div>

And you only want to select the elements which have .x and (.a or .b), you could write:

.x:not(.c) { ... }

but that's convenient only when you have three "sub-classes" and you want to select two of them.

Selecting only one sub-class (for instance .a): .a.x

Selecting two sub-classes (for instance .a and .b): .x:not(.c)

Selecting all three sub-classes: .x

Django - how to create a file and save it to a model's FileField?

Accepted answer is certainly a good solution, but here is the way I went about generating a CSV and serving it from a view.

Thought it was worth while putting this here as it took me a little bit of fiddling to get all the desirable behaviour (overwrite existing file, storing to the right spot, not creating duplicate files etc).

Django 1.4.1

Python 2.7.3

#Model
class MonthEnd(models.Model):
    report = models.FileField(db_index=True, upload_to='not_used')

import csv
from os.path import join

#build and store the file
def write_csv():
    path = join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'files', 'month_end', 'report.csv')
    f = open(path, "w+b")

    #wipe the existing content
    f.truncate()

    csv_writer = csv.writer(f)
    csv_writer.writerow(('col1'))

    for num in range(3):
        csv_writer.writerow((num, ))

    month_end_file = MonthEnd()
    month_end_file.report.name = path
    month_end_file.save()

from my_app.models import MonthEnd

#serve it up as a download
def get_report(request):
    month_end = MonthEnd.objects.get(file_criteria=criteria)

    response = HttpResponse(month_end.report, content_type='text/plain')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=report.csv'

    return response

How to create a Restful web service with input parameters?

If you want query parameters, you use @QueryParam.

public Todo getXML(@QueryParam("summary") String x, 
                   @QueryParam("description") String y)

But you won't be able to send a PUT from a plain web browser (today). If you type in the URL directly, it will be a GET.

Philosophically, this looks like it should be a POST, though. In REST, you typically either POST to a common resource, /todo, where that resource creates and returns a new resource, or you PUT to a specifically-identified resource, like /todo/<id>, for creation and/or update.

When increasing the size of VARCHAR column on a large table could there be any problems?

Another reason why you should avoid converting the column to varchar(max) is because you cannot create an index on a varchar(max) column.

Passing command line arguments from Maven as properties in pom.xml

You can give variable names as project files. For instance in you plugin configuration give only one tag as below:-

<projectFile>${projectName}</projectFile>

Then on command line you can pass the project name as parameter:-

mvn [your-command] -DprojectName=[name of project]

How can we draw a vertical line in the webpage?

There are no vertical lines in html that you can use but you can fake one by absolutely positioning a div outside of your container with a top:0; and bottom:0; style.

Try this:

CSS

.vr {
    width:10px;
    background-color:#000;
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    bottom:0;
    left:150px;
}

HTML

<div class="vr">&nbsp;</div>

Demo

Using a custom (ttf) font in CSS

You need to use the css-property font-face to declare your font. Have a look at this fancy site: http://www.font-face.com/

Example:

@font-face {
  font-family: MyHelvetica;
  src: local("Helvetica Neue Bold"),
       local("HelveticaNeue-Bold"),
       url(MgOpenModernaBold.ttf);
  font-weight: bold;
}

How to convert JSON string to array

You can change a string to JSON as follows and you can also trim, strip on string if wanted,

$str     = '[{"id":1, "value":"Comfort Stretch"}]';
//here is JSON object
$filters = json_decode($str);

foreach($filters as $obj){
   $filter_id[] = $obj->id;
}

//here is your array from that JSON
$filter_id;

tr:hover not working

You can simply use background CSS property as follows:

tr:hover{
    background: #F1F1F2;    
}

Working example

LIKE vs CONTAINS on SQL Server

Having run both queries on a SQL Server 2012 instance, I can confirm the first query was fastest in my case.

The query with the LIKE keyword showed a clustered index scan.

The CONTAINS also had a clustered index scan with additional operators for the full text match and a merge join.

Java check to see if a variable has been initialized

Instance variables or fields, along with static variables, are assigned default values based on the variable type:

  • int: 0
  • char: \u0000 or 0
  • double: 0.0
  • boolean: false
  • reference: null

Just want to clarify that local variables (ie. declared in block, eg. method, for loop, while loop, try-catch, etc.) are not initialized to default values and must be explicitly initialized.

How to enable scrolling of content inside a modal?

After using all these mentioned solution, i was still not able to scroll using mouse scroll, keyboard up/down button were working for scrolling content.

So i have added below css fixes to make it working

.modal-open {
    overflow: hidden;
}

.modal-open .modal {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: auto;
    **pointer-events: auto;**
}

Added pointer-events: auto; to make it mouse scrollable.

Android Fragment no view found for ID?

In my case. I have an Activity with serveral Fragments some time I need to recreate Fragments when

  • language is change
  • fragment layout some need some not need or content change need to recreate
  • other changes
  • I clear all Fragments and set all to null in activity but Fragment already create itself, while it host activty is bean set null, so before call Fragment view check it null

    for example

    Activity{
        fragment
        recreate{
           fragment = null then new instance
        }
    
    }
    
    Fragment{
        if((activity).fragment != null) {
           findViewById()
        }
    
    }
    

    Efficient way to Handle ResultSet in Java

    1. Iterate over the ResultSet
    2. Create a new Object for each row, to store the fields you need
    3. Add this new object to ArrayList or Hashmap or whatever you fancy
    4. Close the ResultSet, Statement and the DB connection

    Done

    EDIT: now that you have posted code, I have made a few changes to it.

    public List resultSetToArrayList(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException{
      ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
      int columns = md.getColumnCount();
      ArrayList list = new ArrayList(50);
      while (rs.next()){
         HashMap row = new HashMap(columns);
         for(int i=1; i<=columns; ++i){           
          row.put(md.getColumnName(i),rs.getObject(i));
         }
          list.add(row);
      }
    
     return list;
    }

    How to create Android Facebook Key Hash?

    If you have already uploaded the app to Play store you can generate Hash Key as follows:

    1. Go to Release Management here

    2. Select Release Management -> App Signing

    3. You can see SHA1 key in hex format App signing certificate.

    4. Copy the SHA1 in hex format and convert it in to base64 format, you can use this link do that without the SHA1: part of the hex.

    5. Go to Facebook developer console and add the key(after convert to base 64) in the settings —> basic –> key hashes.

    Set position / size of UI element as percentage of screen size

    Take a look at this:

    You can get the heigth of the screen and it's simple math to calculate 68 percent of the screen.

    Importing from a relative path in Python

    EDIT Nov 2014 (3 years later):

    Python 2.6 and 3.x supports proper relative imports, where you can avoid doing anything hacky. With this method, you know you are getting a relative import rather than an absolute import. The '..' means, go to the directory above me:

    from ..Common import Common
    

    As a caveat, this will only work if you run your python as a module, from outside of the package. For example:

    python -m Proj
    

    Original hacky way

    This method is still commonly used in some situations, where you aren't actually ever 'installing' your package. For example, it's popular with Django users.

    You can add Common/ to your sys.path (the list of paths python looks at to import things):

    import sys, os
    sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'Common'))
    import Common
    

    os.path.dirname(__file__) just gives you the directory that your current python file is in, and then we navigate to 'Common/' the directory and import 'Common' the module.

    Why do we always prefer using parameters in SQL statements?

    Two years after my first go, I'm recidivating...

    Why do we prefer parameters? SQL injection is obviously a big reason, but could it be that we're secretly longing to get back to SQL as a language. SQL in string literals is already a weird cultural practice, but at least you can copy and paste your request into management studio. SQL dynamically constructed with host language conditionals and control structures, when SQL has conditionals and control structures, is just level 0 barbarism. You have to run your app in debug, or with a trace, to see what SQL it generates.

    Don't stop with just parameters. Go all the way and use QueryFirst (disclaimer: which I wrote). Your SQL lives in a .sql file. You edit it in the fabulous TSQL editor window, with syntax validation and Intellisense for your tables and columns. You can assign test data in the special comments section and click "play" to run your query right there in the window. Creating a parameter is as easy as putting "@myParam" in your SQL. Then, each time you save, QueryFirst generates the C# wrapper for your query. Your parameters pop up, strongly typed, as arguments to the Execute() methods. Your results are returned in an IEnumerable or List of strongly typed POCOs, the types generated from the actual schema returned by your query. If your query doesn't run, your app won't compile. If your db schema changes and your query runs but some columns disappear, the compile error points to the line in your code that tries to access the missing data. And there are numerous other advantages. Why would you want to access data any other way?

    Java correct way convert/cast object to Double

    You can use the instanceof operator to test to see if it is a double prior to casting. You can then safely cast it to a double. In addition you can test it against other known types (e.g. Integer) and then coerce them into a double manually if desired.

        Double d = null;
        if (obj instanceof Double) {
            d = (Double) obj;
        }
    

    How do you turn a Mongoose document into a plain object?

    You can also stringify the object and then again parse to make the normal object. For example like:-

    const obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(mongoObj))
