Delete with "Join" in Oracle sql Query

Based on the answer I linked to in my comment above, this should work:

delete from
(
select pf.* From PRODUCTFILTERS pf 
where pf.id>=200 
And pf.rowid in 
  (
     Select rowid from PRODUCTFILTERS 
     inner join PRODUCTS on PRODUCTFILTERS.PRODUCTID = PRODUCTS.ID 
     And PRODUCTS.NAME= 'Mark'
  )
); 

or

delete from PRODUCTFILTERS where rowid in
(
select pf.rowid From PRODUCTFILTERS pf 
where pf.id>=200 
And pf.rowid in 
  (
     Select PRODUCTFILTERS.rowid from PRODUCTFILTERS 
     inner join PRODUCTS on PRODUCTFILTERS.PRODUCTID = PRODUCTS.ID 
     And PRODUCTS.NAME= 'Mark'
  )
); 

outline on only one border

The great thing about HTML/CSS is that there's usually more than one way to achieve the same effect. Here's another solution that does what you want:

<nav id="menu1">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Menu Link 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Menu Link 2</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

nav {
    background:#666;
    margin:1em;
    padding:.5em 0;
}
nav ul {
    border-top:1px dashed #fff;
    list-style:none;
    padding:.5em;
}
nav ul li {
    display:inline-block;
}
nav ul li a {
    color:#fff;
}

add created_at and updated_at fields to mongoose schemas

You can use middleware and virtuals. Here is an example for your updated_at field:

ItemSchema.virtual('name').set(function (name) {
  this.updated_at = Date.now;
  return name;
});

Error Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

I had the same problem and the "Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll" appeared to be missing. I have tried few advises and installed MVC`s etc. and nothing helped. The solution was to install "Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 1.0 SP1 for Microsoft .NET" which includes Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll.

How to get the number of characters in a string

I tried to make to do the normalization a bit faster:

    en, _ = glyphSmart(data)

    func glyphSmart(text string) (int, int) {
        gc := 0
        dummy := 0
        for ind, _ := range text {
            gc++
            dummy = ind
        }
        dummy = 0
        return gc, dummy
    }

Using curl to upload POST data with files

The issue that lead me here turned out to be a basic user error - I wasn't including the @ sign in the path of the file and so curl was posting the path/name of the file rather than the contents. The Content-Length value was therefore 8 rather than the 479 I expected to see given the legnth of my test file.

The Content-Length header will be automatically calculated when curl reads and posts the file.

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --data "@test.xml" -v -X POST https://<url>/<uri/

... < Content-Length: 479 ...

Query error with ambiguous column name in SQL

Because you are joining two tables Invoices and InvoiceLineItems that both contain InvoiceID. change to Invoices.InvoiceID to make it correct.

How can I pass a member function where a free function is expected?

A pointer to member function is different from a pointer to function. In order to use a member function through a pointer you need a pointer to it (obviously ) and an object to apply it to. So the appropriate version of function1 would be

void function1(void (aClass::*function)(int, int), aClass& a) {
    (a.*function)(1, 1);
}

and to call it:

aClass a; // note: no parentheses; with parentheses it's a function declaration
function1(&aClass::test, a);

jQuery click anywhere in the page except on 1 div

I know that this question has been answered, And all the answers are nice. But I wanted to add my two cents to this question for people who have similar (but not exactly the same) problem.

In a more general way, we can do something like this:

$('body').click(function(evt){    
    if(!$(evt.target).is('#menu_content')) {
        //event handling code
    }
});

This way we can handle not only events fired by anything except element with id menu_content but also events that are fired by anything except any element that we can select using CSS selectors.

For instance in the following code snippet I am getting events fired by any element except all <li> elements which are descendants of div element with id myNavbar.

$('body').click(function(evt){    
    if(!$(evt.target).is('div#myNavbar li')) {
        //event handling code
    }
});

How to 'bulk update' with Django?

Consider using django-bulk-update found here on GitHub.

Install: pip install django-bulk-update

Implement: (code taken directly from projects ReadMe file)

from bulk_update.helper import bulk_update

random_names = ['Walter', 'The Dude', 'Donny', 'Jesus']
people = Person.objects.all()

for person in people:
    r = random.randrange(4)
    person.name = random_names[r]

bulk_update(people)  # updates all columns using the default db

Update: As Marc points out in the comments this is not suitable for updating thousands of rows at once. Though it is suitable for smaller batches 10's to 100's. The size of the batch that is right for you depends on your CPU and query complexity. This tool is more like a wheel barrow than a dump truck.

How to apply Hovering on html area tag?

What I did was to create a canvas element that I then position in front of the image map. Then, whenever an area is moused-over, I call a func that gets the coord string for that shape and the shape-type. If it's a poly I use the coords to draw an outline on the canvas. If it's a rect I draw a rect outline. You could easily add code to deal with circles.

You could also set the opacity of the canvas to less than 100% before filling the poly/rect/circle. You could also change the reliance on a global for the canvas's context - this would mean you could deal with more than 1 image-map on the same page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>

// stores the device context of the canvas we use to draw the outlines
// initialized in myInit, used in myHover and myLeave
var hdc;

// shorthand func
function byId(e){return document.getElementById(e);}

// takes a string that contains coords eg - "227,307,261,309, 339,354, 328,371, 240,331"
// draws a line from each co-ord pair to the next - assumes starting point needs to be repeated as ending point.
function drawPoly(coOrdStr)
{
    var mCoords = coOrdStr.split(',');
    var i, n;
    n = mCoords.length;

    hdc.beginPath();
    hdc.moveTo(mCoords[0], mCoords[1]);
    for (i=2; i<n; i+=2)
    {
        hdc.lineTo(mCoords[i], mCoords[i+1]);
    }
    hdc.lineTo(mCoords[0], mCoords[1]);
    hdc.stroke();
}

function drawRect(coOrdStr)
{
    var mCoords = coOrdStr.split(',');
    var top, left, bot, right;
    left = mCoords[0];
    top = mCoords[1];
    right = mCoords[2];
    bot = mCoords[3];
    hdc.strokeRect(left,top,right-left,bot-top); 
}

function myHover(element)
{
    var hoveredElement = element;
    var coordStr = element.getAttribute('coords');
    var areaType = element.getAttribute('shape');

    switch (areaType)
    {
        case 'polygon':
        case 'poly':
            drawPoly(coordStr);
            break;

        case 'rect':
            drawRect(coordStr);
    }
}

function myLeave()
{
    var canvas = byId('myCanvas');
    hdc.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}

function myInit()
{
    // get the target image
    var img = byId('img-imgmap201293016112');

    var x,y, w,h;

    // get it's position and width+height
    x = img.offsetLeft;
    y = img.offsetTop;
    w = img.clientWidth;
    h = img.clientHeight;

    // move the canvas, so it's contained by the same parent as the image
    var imgParent = img.parentNode;
    var can = byId('myCanvas');
    imgParent.appendChild(can);

    // place the canvas in front of the image
    can.style.zIndex = 1;

    // position it over the image
    can.style.left = x+'px';
    can.style.top = y+'px';

    // make same size as the image
    can.setAttribute('width', w+'px');
    can.setAttribute('height', h+'px');

    // get it's context

How to hide a status bar in iOS?

In info.plist

View controller-based status bar appearance NO
Status bar is initially hidden YES

In view controller.m

- (BOOL) prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}

Call an activity method from a fragment

From fragment to activty:

((YourActivityClassName)getActivity()).yourPublicMethod();

From activity to fragment:

FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();

//if you added fragment via layout xml
YourFragmentClass fragment = (YourFragmentClass)fm.findFragmentById(R.id.your_fragment_id);
fragment.yourPublicMethod();

If you added fragment via code and used a tag string when you added your fragment, use findFragmentByTag instead:

YourFragmentClass fragment = (YourFragmentClass)fm.findFragmentByTag("yourTag");

How do I generate a random number between two variables that I have stored?

How to securely save username/password (local)?

I wanted to encrypt and decrypt the string as a readable string.

Here is a very simple quick example in C# Visual Studio 2019 WinForms based on the answer from @Pradip.

Right click project > properties > settings > Create a username and password setting.

enter image description here

Now you can leverage those settings you just created. Here I save the username and password but only encrypt the password in it's respectable value field in the user.config file.

Example of the encrypted string in the user.config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <userSettings>
        <secure_password_store.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="username" serializeAs="String">
                <value>admin</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="password" serializeAs="String">
                <value>AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE/Cl+sBAAAAQpgaPYIUq064U3o6xXkQOQAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAABlQQ8OcONYBr9qUhH7NeKF8bZB6uCJa5uKhk97NdH93AAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAAC7yQicDYV5DiNp0fHXVEDZ7IhOXOrsRUbcY0ziYYTlKSAAAACVDQ+ICHWooDDaUywJeUOV9sRg5c8q6/vizdq8WtPVbkAAAADciZskoSw3g6N9EpX/8FOv+FeExZFxsm03i8vYdDHUVmJvX33K03rqiYF2qzpYCaldQnRxFH9wH2ZEHeSRPeiG</value>

Ascending and Descending Number Order in java

Three possible solutions come to my mind:

1. Reverse the order:

//convert the arr to list first
Collections.reverse(listWithNumbers);
System.out.print("Numbers in Descending Order: " + listWithNumbers);

2. Iterate backwards and print it:

Arrays.sort(arr);
System.out.print("Numbers in Descending Order: " );
for(int i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
  System.out.print( " " +arr[i]);
}

3. Sort it with "oposite" comparator:

Arrays.sort(arr, new Comparator<Integer>(){
   int compare(Integer i1, Integer i2) {
      return i2 - i1;
   }
});
// or Collections.reverseOrder(), could be used instead
System.out.print("Numbers in Descending Order: " );
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
  System.out.print( " " +arr[i]);
}

LINQ query to find if items in a list are contained in another list

List<string> test1 = new List<string> { "@bob.com", "@tom.com" };
List<string> test2 = new List<string> { "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]" };

var result = (from t2 in test2
              where test1.Any(t => t2.Contains(t)) == false
              select t2);

If query form is what you want to use, this is legible and more or less as "performant" as this could be.

What i mean is that what you are trying to do is an O(N*M) algorithm, that is, you have to traverse N items and compare them against M values. What you want is to traverse the first list only once, and compare against the other list just as many times as needed (worst case is when the email is valid since it has to compare against every black listed domain).

from t2 in test we loop the email list once.

test1.Any(t => t2.Contains(t)) == false we compare with the blacklist and when we found one match return (hence not comparing against the whole list if is not needed)

select t2 keep the ones that are clean.

So this is what I would use.

Can functions be passed as parameters?

You can also pass the function of a struct, like:

    package main
    // define struct
    type Apple struct {}
    
    // return apple's color
    func (Apple) GetColor() string {
         return "Red" 
    }
    
    func main () {
        // instantiate
        myApple := Apple{}
        
        // put the func in a variable
        theFunc := myApple.GetColor
        
        // execute the variable as a function
        color := theFunc()
    
        print(color)
    }

output will be "Red", check on the playground

How do you specifically order ggplot2 x axis instead of alphabetical order?

The accepted answer offers a solution which requires changing of the underlying data frame. This is not necessary. One can also simply factorise within the aes() call directly or create a vector for that instead.

This is certainly not much different than user Drew Steen's answer, but with the important difference of not changing the original data frame.

level_order <- c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa') #this vector might be useful for other plots/analyses

ggplot(iris, aes(x = factor(Species, level = level_order), y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

or

level_order <- factor(iris$Species, level = c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa'))

ggplot(iris, aes(x = level_order, y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

or
directly in the aes() call without a pre-created vector:

ggplot(iris, aes(x = factor(Species, level = c('virginica', 'versicolor', 'setosa')), y = Petal.Width)) + geom_col()

that's for the first version

Fastest way to check if a file exist using standard C++/C++11/C?

Remark : in C++14 and as soon as the filesystem TS will be finished and adopted, the solution will be to use:

std::experimental::filesystem::exists("helloworld.txt");

and since C++17, only:

std::filesystem::exists("helloworld.txt");

How to change value of ArrayList element in java

I think the problem is that you think the statement ...

x = Integer.valueOf(9);

... causes that the value of '9' get 'stored' into(!) the Object on which x is referencing.

But thats wrong.

Instead the statement causes something similar as if you would call

x = new Integer(9); 

If you have a look to the java source code, you will see what happens in Detail.

Here is the code of the "valueOf(int i)" method in the "Integer" class:

public static Integer valueOf(int i) {
    assert IntegerCache.high >= 127;
    if (i >= IntegerCache.low && i <= IntegerCache.high)
        return IntegerCache.cache[i + (-IntegerCache.low)];
    return new Integer(i);
}

and further, whenever the IntegerCache class is used for the first time the following script gets invoked:

static {
        // high value may be configured by property
        int h = 127;
        String integerCacheHighPropValue =
            sun.misc.VM.getSavedProperty("java.lang.Integer.IntegerCache.high");
        if (integerCacheHighPropValue != null) {
            int i = parseInt(integerCacheHighPropValue);
            i = Math.max(i, 127);
            // Maximum array size is Integer.MAX_VALUE
            h = Math.min(i, Integer.MAX_VALUE - (-low) -1);
        }
        high = h;

        cache = new Integer[(high - low) + 1];
        int j = low;
        for(int k = 0; k < cache.length; k++)
            cache[k] = new Integer(j++);
    }

You see that either a new Integer Object is created with "new Integer(i)" in the valueOf method ... ... or a reference to a Integer Object which is stored in the IntegerCache is returned.

In both cases x will reference to a new Object.

And this is why the reference to the Object in your list get lost when you call ...

x = Integer.valueOf(9);

Instead of doing so, in combination with a ListIterator use ...

i.set(Integer.valueOf(9));

... after you got the element you want to change with ...

i.next();

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError

The code was most likely compiled with a later JDK (without using cross-compilation options) and is being run on an earlier JRE. While upgrading the JRE is one solution, it would be better to use the cross-compilation options to ensure the code will run on whatever JRE is intended as the minimum version for the app.

Reference - What does this error mean in PHP?

Strict Standards: Non-static method [<class>::<method>] should not be called statically

Occurs when you try to call a non-static method on a class as it was static, and you also have the E_STRICT flag in your error_reporting() settings.

Example :

class HTML {
   public function br() {
      echo '<br>';
   }
}

HTML::br() or $html::br()

You can actually avoid this error by not adding E_STRICT to error_reporting(), eg

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT);

since as for PHP 5.4.0 and above, E_STRICT is included in E_ALL [ref]. But that is not adviceable. The solution is to define your intended static function as actual static :

public static function br() {
  echo '<br>';
}

or call the function conventionally :

$html = new HTML();
$html->br();

How to make html <select> element look like "disabled", but pass values?

You can keep it disabled as desired, and then remove the disabled attribute before the form is submitted.

$('#myForm').submit(function() {
    $('select').removeAttr('disabled');
});

Note that if you rely on this method, you'll want to disable it programmatically as well, because if JS is disabled or not supported, you'll be stuck with the disabled select.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('select').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});

awk solution that deals with stdin

Since column is not POSIX, maybe this is:

mycolumn() (
  file="${1:--}"
  if [ "$file" = - ]; then
    file="$(mktemp)"
    cat > "${file}"
  fi
  awk '
  FNR == 1 { if (NR == FNR) next }
  NR == FNR {
    for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
      l = length($i)
      if (w[i] < l)
        w[i] = l
    }
    next
  }
  {
    for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++)
      printf "%*s", w[i] + (i > 1 ? 1 : 0), $i
    print ""
  }
  ' "$file" "$file"
  if [ "$1" = - ]; then
    rm "$file"
  fi
)

Test:

printf '12 1234 1
12345678 1 123
1234 123456 123456
' > file

Test commands:

mycolumn file
mycolumn <file
mycolumn - <file

Output for all:

      12   1234      1
12345678      1    123
    1234 123456 123456

Use of the MANIFEST.MF file in Java

The content of the Manifest file in a JAR file created with version 1.0 of the Java Development Kit is the following.

Manifest-Version: 1.0

All the entries are as name-value pairs. The name of a header is separated from its value by a colon. The default manifest shows that it conforms to version 1.0 of the manifest specification. The manifest can also contain information about the other files that are packaged in the archive. Exactly what file information is recorded in the manifest will depend on the intended use for the JAR file. The default manifest file makes no assumptions about what information it should record about other files, so its single line contains data only about itself. Special-Purpose Manifest Headers

Depending on the intended role of the JAR file, the default manifest may have to be modified. If the JAR file is created only for the purpose of archival, then the MANIFEST.MF file is of no purpose. Most uses of JAR files go beyond simple archiving and compression and require special information to be in the manifest file. Summarized below are brief descriptions of the headers that are required for some special-purpose JAR-file functions

Applications Bundled as JAR Files: If an application is bundled in a JAR file, the Java Virtual Machine needs to be told what the entry point to the application is. An entry point is any class with a public static void main(String[] args) method. This information is provided in the Main-Class header, which has the general form:

Main-Class: classname

The value classname is to be replaced with the application's entry point.

Download Extensions: Download extensions are JAR files that are referenced by the manifest files of other JAR files. In a typical situation, an applet will be bundled in a JAR file whose manifest references a JAR file (or several JAR files) that will serve as an extension for the purposes of that applet. Extensions may reference each other in the same way. Download extensions are specified in the Class-Path header field in the manifest file of an applet, application, or another extension. A Class-Path header might look like this, for example:

Class-Path: servlet.jar infobus.jar acme/beans.jar

With this header, the classes in the files servlet.jar, infobus.jar, and acme/beans.jar will serve as extensions for purposes of the applet or application. The URLs in the Class-Path header are given relative to the URL of the JAR file of the applet or application.

Package Sealing: A package within a JAR file can be optionally sealed, which means that all classes defined in that package must be archived in the same JAR file. A package might be sealed to ensure version consistency among the classes in your software or as a security measure. To seal a package, a Name header needs to be added for the package, followed by a Sealed header, similar to this:

Name: myCompany/myPackage/
Sealed: true

The Name header's value is the package's relative pathname. Note that it ends with a '/' to distinguish it from a filename. Any headers following a Name header, without any intervening blank lines, apply to the file or package specified in the Name header. In the above example, because the Sealed header occurs after the Name: myCompany/myPackage header, with no blank lines between, the Sealed header will be interpreted as applying (only) to the package myCompany/myPackage.

Package Versioning: The Package Versioning specification defines several manifest headers to hold versioning information. One set of such headers can be assigned to each package. The versioning headers should appear directly beneath the Name header for the package. This example shows all the versioning headers:

Name: java/util/
Specification-Title: "Java Utility Classes" 
Specification-Version: "1.2"
Specification-Vendor: "Sun Microsystems, Inc.".
Implementation-Title: "java.util" 
Implementation-Version: "build57"
Implementation-Vendor: "Sun Microsystems, Inc."

Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large in R

I found the same error today. I have tried the "Clear all Plots" button, but it was giving me the same error. Then this trick worked for me, Try to increase the plot area by dragging. It will help you for sure.

Counting the number of True Booleans in a Python List

It is safer to run through bool first. This is easily done:

>>> sum(map(bool,[True, True, False, False, False, True]))
3

Then you will catch everything that Python considers True or False into the appropriate bucket:

>>> allTrue=[True, not False, True+1,'0', ' ', 1, [0], {0:0}, set([0])]
>>> list(map(bool,allTrue))
[True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True]

If you prefer, you can use a comprehension:

>>> allFalse=['',[],{},False,0,set(),(), not True, True-1]
>>> [bool(i) for i in allFalse]
[False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False]

The requested resource does not support HTTP method 'GET'

Please use the attributes from the System.Web.Http namespace on your WebAPI actions:

    [System.Web.Http.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]
    [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
    public string Auth(string username, string password)
    {...}

The reason why it doesn't work is because you were using the attributes that are from the MVC namespace System.Web.Mvc. The classes in the System.Web.Http namespace are for WebAPI.

Exclude Blank and NA in R

Don't know exactly what kind of dataset you have, so I provide general answer.

x <- c(1,2,NA,3,4,5)
y <- c(1,2,3,NA,6,8)
my.data <- data.frame(x, y)
> my.data
   x  y
1  1  1
2  2  2
3 NA  3
4  3 NA
5  4  6
6  5  8
# Exclude rows with NA values
my.data[complete.cases(my.data),]
  x y
1 1 1
2 2 2
5 4 6
6 5 8

removing bold styling from part of a header

Better one: Instead of using extra span tags in html and increasing html code, you can do as below:

<div id="sc-nav-display">
    <table class="sc-nav-table">
      <tr>
        <th class="nav-invent-head">Inventory</th>
        <th class="nav-orders-head">Orders</th>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div> 

Here, you can use CSS as below:

#sc-nav-display th{
    font-weight: normal;
}

You just need to use ID assigned to the respected div tag of table. I used "#sc-nav-display" with "th" in CSS, so that, every other table headings will remain BOLD until and unless you do the same to all others table head as I said.

segmentation fault : 11

Run your program with valgrind of linked to efence. That will tell you where the pointer is being dereferenced and most likely fix your problem if you fix all the errors they tell you about.

Git: Cannot see new remote branch

Check whether .git/config contains

[remote "origin"]
    url = …
    fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

If so, change it to say

[remote "origin"]
    url = …
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Then you should be able to use it:

$ git fetch
remote: Counting objects: …
remote: Compressing objects: ..
Unpacking objects: …
remote: …
From …
 * [new branch]            branchname -> origin/branchname
$ git checkout branchname
Branch branchname set up to track remote branch branchname from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'branchname'

Getting 404 Not Found error while trying to use ErrorDocument

The ErrorDocument directive, when supplied a local URL path, expects the path to be fully qualified from the DocumentRoot. In your case, this means that the actual path to the ErrorDocument is

python pip: force install ignoring dependencies

When I were trying install librosa package with pip (pip install librosa), this error were appeared:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I tried to remove llvmlite, but pip uninstall could not remove it. So, I used capability of ignore of pip by this code:

pip install librosa --ignore-installed llvmlite

Indeed, you can use this rule for ignoring a package you don't want to consider:

pip install {package you want to install} --ignore-installed {installed package you don't want to consider}

sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory on cited drive

This error is usually caused by running a command from a directory that no longer exist.

Try changing your directory and re-run the command.

Are arrays passed by value or passed by reference in Java?

Kind of a trick realty... Even references are passed by value in Java, hence a change to the reference itself being scoped at the called function level. The compiler and/or JVM will often turn a value type into a reference.

How to make Java Set?

Like this:

import java.util.*;
Set<Integer> a = new HashSet<Integer>();
a.add( 1);
a.add( 2);
a.add( 3);

Or adding from an Array/ or multiple literals; wrap to a list, first.

Integer[] array = new Integer[]{ 1, 4, 5};
Set<Integer> b = new HashSet<Integer>();
b.addAll( Arrays.asList( b));         // from an array variable
b.addAll( Arrays.asList( 8, 9, 10));  // from literals

To get the intersection:

// copies all from A;  then removes those not in B.
Set<Integer> r = new HashSet( a);
r.retainAll( b);
// and print;   r.toString() implied.
System.out.println("A intersect B="+r);

Hope this answer helps. Vote for it!

How to create streams from string in Node.Js?

From node 10.17, stream.Readable have a from method to easily create streams from any iterable (which includes array literals):

const { Readable } = require("stream")

const readable = Readable.from(["input string"])

readable.on("data", (chunk) => {
  console.log(chunk) // will be called once with `"input string"`
})

Note that at least between 10.17 and 12.3, a string is itself a iterable, so Readable.from("input string") will work, but emit one event per character. Readable.from(["input string"]) will emit one event per item in the array (in this case, one item).

Also note that in later nodes (probably 12.3, since the documentation says the function was changed then), it is no longer necessary to wrap the string in an array.

Jquery and HTML FormData returns "Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation"

Cannot construct instance of - Jackson

You need to use a concrete class and not an Abstract class while deserializing. if the Abstract class has several implementations then, in that case, you can use it as below-

  @JsonTypeInfo( use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY, property = "type")
    @JsonSubTypes({ 
      @Type(value = Bike.class, name = "bike"), 
      @Type(value = Auto.class, name = "auto"), 
      @Type(value = Car.class, name = "car")
    })
    public abstract class Vehicle {
        // fields, constructors, getters, setters
    }

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes)

128M == 134217728, the number you are seeing.

The memory limit is working fine. When it says it tried to allocate 32 bytes, that the amount requested by the last operation before failing.

Are you building any huge arrays or reading large text files? If so, remember to free any memory you don't need anymore, or break the task down into smaller steps.

Python Matplotlib figure title overlaps axes label when using twiny

I'm not sure whether it is a new feature in later versions of matplotlib, but at least for 1.3.1, this is simply:

plt.title(figure_title, y=1.08)

This also works for plt.suptitle(), but not (yet) for plt.xlabel(), etc.

jQuery select change event get selected option

See official API documentation https://api.jquery.com/selected-selector/

This good works:

$( "select" ).on('change',function() {
  var str = "";
  // For multiple choice
  $( "select option:selected" ).each(function() {
    str += $( this ).val() + " "; 
  });
});

and

$( "select" ).on('change',function() {
  // For unique choice
  var selVal = $( "select option:selected" ).val(); 
});

and be easy for unique choice

var SelVal = $( "#idSelect option:selected" ).val();

Compiler error: "class, interface, or enum expected"

class, interface, or enum expected

The above error is even possible when import statement is miss spelled. A proper statement is "import com.company.HelloWorld;"

If by mistake while code writing/editing it is miss written like "t com.company.HelloWorld;"

compiler will show "class, interface, or enum expected"

RSA Public Key format

Starting from the decoded base64 data of an OpenSSL rsa-ssh Key, i've been able to guess a format:

  • 00 00 00 07: four byte length prefix (7 bytes)
  • 73 73 68 2d 72 73 61: "ssh-rsa"
  • 00 00 00 01: four byte length prefix (1 byte)
  • 25: RSA Exponent (e): 25
  • 00 00 01 00: four byte length prefix (256 bytes)
  • RSA Modulus (n):

The closest validation of my theory i can find it from RFC 4253:

The "ssh-rsa" key format has the following specific encoding:

  string    "ssh-rsa"
  mpint     e
  mpint     n

Here the 'e' and 'n' parameters form the signature key blob.

But it doesn't explain the length prefixes.

From RFC3447 - Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications Version 2.1:

A.1.1 RSA public key syntax

An RSA public key should be represented with the ASN.1 type RSAPublicKey:

  RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE {
     modulus           INTEGER,  -- n
     publicExponent    INTEGER   -- e
  }

The fields of type RSAPublicKey have the following meanings:

  • modulus is the RSA modulus n.
  • publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.

Using Microsoft's excellent (and the only real) ASN.1 documentation:

30 82 01 0a       ;SEQUENCE (0x010A bytes: 266 bytes)
|  02 82 01 01    ;INTEGER  (0x0101 bytes: 257 bytes)

Update: My expanded form of this answer in another question

Finding the position of bottom of a div with jquery

The answers so far will work.. if you only want to use the height without padding, borders, etc.

If you would like to account for padding, borders, and margin, you should use .outerHeight.

var bottom = $('#bottom').position().top + $('#bottom').outerHeight(true);

Where to put Gradle configuration (i.e. credentials) that should not be committed?

First answer is still valid, but the API has changed in the past. Since my edit there wasn't accepted I post it as separate answer.

The method authentication() is only used to provide the authentication method (e.g. Basic) but not any credentials.

You also shouldn't use it since it's printing the credentials plain on failure!

This his how it should look like in your build.gradle

    maven {
        credentials {
            username "$mavenUser"
            password "$mavenPassword"
        }
        url 'https://maven.yourcorp.net/'
   }

In gradle.properties in your userhome dir put:

mavenUser=admin
mavenPassword=admin123

Also ensure that the GRADLE_USER_HOME is set to ~/.gradle otherwise the properties file there won't be resolved.

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

Cannot open Windows.h in Microsoft Visual Studio

1) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A for VS2013

2) Copy the folders Include and Lib (you should check where are your folders in folder windows such as v7.1, v8, v6, etc.)

3) Paste them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC

I solved my problems like:

error lnk1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'.
error c1083: Cannot open Windows.h

Thanks.

Sorting 1 million 8-decimal-digit numbers with 1 MB of RAM

If the range of the numbers is limited (there can be only mod 2 8 digit numbers, or only 10 different 8 digit numbers for example), then you could write an optimized sorting algorithm. But if you want to sort all possible 8 digit numbers, this is not possible with that low amount of memory.

How to write and read a file with a HashMap?

What is the difference between a "line feed" and a "carriage return"?

Since I can not comment because of not having enough reward points I have to answer to correct answer given by @Burhan Khalid.
In very layman language Enter key press is combination of carriage return and line feed.
Carriage return points the cursor to the beginning of the line horizontly and Line feed shifts the cursor to the next line vertically.Combination of both gives you new line(\n) effect.

Creating a search form in PHP to search a database?

try this out let me know what happens.

Form:

<form action="form.php" method="post"> 
Search: <input type="text" name="term" /><br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /> 
</form> 

Form.php:

$term = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['term']);    

$sql = "SELECT * FROM liam WHERE Description LIKE '%".$term."%'";
$r_query = mysql_query($sql);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r_query)){

echo '<br /> Code: ' .$row['Code']; 
echo '<br /> Description: '.$row['Description']; 
echo '<br /> Category: '.$row['Category']; 
echo '<br /> Cut Size: '.$row['CutSize'];  
} 

Edit: Cleaned it up a little more.

Final Cut (my test file):

<?php

$db_username = 'demo';
$db_password = 'demo';
$db_database = 'demo';

// Database Connection String
$con = mysql_connect($db_hostname,$db_username,$db_password);
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db($db_database, $con);

Connect to SQL Server through PDO using SQL Server Driver

This works for me, and in this case was a remote connection: Note: The port was IMPORTANT for me

How to block until an event is fired in c#

You can use ManualResetEvent. Reset the event before you fire secondary thread and then use the WaitOne() method to block the current thread. You can then have secondary thread set the ManualResetEvent which would cause the main thread to continue. Something like this:

ManualResetEvent oSignalEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);

void SecondThread(){
    //DoStuff
    oSignalEvent.Set();
}

void Main(){
    //DoStuff
    //Call second thread
    System.Threading.Thread oSecondThread = new System.Threading.Thread(SecondThread);
    oSecondThread.Start();

    oSignalEvent.WaitOne(); //This thread will block here until the reset event is sent.
    oSignalEvent.Reset();
    //Do more stuff
}

Hibernate, @SequenceGenerator and allocationSize

I would check the DDL for the sequence in the schema. JPA Implementation is responsible only creation of the sequence with the correct allocation size. Therefore, if the allocation size is 50 then your sequence must have the increment of 50 in its DDL.

This case may typically occur with the creation of a sequence with allocation size 1 then later configured to allocation size 50 (or default) but the sequence DDL is not updated.

Expression must be a modifiable lvalue

Remember that a single = is always an assignment in C or C++.

Your test should be if ( match == 0 && k == M )you made a typo on the k == M test.

If you really mean k=M (i.e. a side-effecting assignment inside a test) you should for readability reasons code if (match == 0 && (k=m) != 0) but most coding rules advise not writing that.

BTW, your mistake suggests to ask for all warnings (e.g. -Wall option to g++), and to upgrade to recent compilers. The next GCC 4.8 will give you:

 % g++-trunk -Wall -c ederman.cc
 ederman.cc: In function ‘void foo()’:
 ederman.cc:9:30: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
          if ( match == 0 && k = M )
                               ^

and Clang 3.1 also tells you ederman.cc:9:30: error: expression is not assignable

So use recent versions of free compilers and enable all the warnings when using them.

Passing parameters to a JDBC PreparedStatement

Do something like this, which also prevents SQL injection attacks

statement = con.prepareStatement("SELECT * from employee WHERE  userID = ?");
statement.setString(1, userID);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();

In jQuery how can I set "top,left" properties of an element with position values relative to the parent and not the document?

Refreshing my memory on setting position, I'm coming to this so late I don't know if anyone else will see it, but --

I don't like setting position using css(), though often it's fine. I think the best bet is to use jQuery UI's position() setter as noted by xdazz. However if jQuery UI is, for some reason, not an option (yet jQuery is), I prefer this:

const leftOffset = 200;
const topOffset = 200;
let $div = $("#mydiv");
let baseOffset = $div.offsetParent().offset();
$div.offset({
  left: baseOffset.left + leftOffset,
  top: baseOffset.top + topOffset
});

This has the advantage of not arbitrarily setting $div's parent to relative positioning (what if $div's parent was, itself, absolute positioned inside something else?). I think the only major edge case is if $div doesn't have any offsetParent, not sure if it would return document, null, or something else entirely.

offsetParent has been available since jQuery 1.2.6, sometime in 2008, so this technique works now and when the original question was asked.

Intellij IDEA Java classes not auto compiling on save

I had the same issue. I was using the "Power save mode", which prevents from compiling incrementally and showing compilation errors.

Command not found after npm install in zsh

If you installed Node.js using Homebrew, npm binaries can be found in /usr/local/share/npm/bin. You should make sure this directory is in your PATH environment variable. So, in your ~/.zshrc file add export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH.

Show how many characters remaining in a HTML text box using JavaScript

Just register an Eventhandler on keydown events and check the length of the input field on that function and write it into a separate element.

See the demo.

var maxchar = 160;
var i = document.getElementById("textinput");
var c = document.getElementById("count");
c.innerHTML = maxchar;

i.addEventListener("keydown",count);

function count(e){
    var len =  i.value.length;
    if (len >= maxchar){
       e.preventDefault();
    } else{
       c.innerHTML = maxchar - len-1;   
    }
}
?

You should check the length on your server too, because Javascript might be disabled or the user wants to do something nasty on purpose.

How to NodeJS require inside TypeScript file?

The best solution is to get a copy of Node's type definitions. This will solve all kinds of dependency issues, not only require(). This was previously done using packages like typings, but as Mike Chamberlain mentioned, Typings are deprecated. The modern way is doing it like this:

npm install --save-dev @types/node

Not only will it fix the compiler error, it will also add the definitions of the Node API to your IDE.

iOS: Modal ViewController with transparent background

In iOS 8.0 and above it can be done by setting the property modalPresentationStyle to UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext

//Set property **definesPresentationContext** YES to avoid presenting over presenting-viewController's navigation bar

self.definesPresentationContext = YES; //self is presenting view controller
presentedController.view.backgroundColor = [YOUR_COLOR with alpha OR clearColor]
presentedController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

[self presentViewController:presentedController animated:YES completion:nil];

Downloading images with node.js

if you want progress download try this:

var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');
var progress = require('request-progress');

module.exports = function (uri, path, onProgress, onResponse, onError, onEnd) {
    progress(request(uri))
    .on('progress', onProgress)
    .on('response', onResponse)
    .on('error', onError)
    .on('end', onEnd)
    .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path))
};

how to use:

  var download = require('../lib/download');
  download("https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_150x54dp.png", "~/download/logo.png", function (state) {
            console.log("progress", state);
        }, function (response) {
            console.log("status code", response.statusCode);
        }, function (error) {
            console.log("error", error);
        }, function () {
            console.log("done");
        });

note: you should install both request & request-progress modules using:

npm install request request-progress --save

Math functions in AngularJS bindings

Better option is to use :

{{(100*score/questionCounter) || 0 | number:0}}

It sets default value of equation to 0 in the case when values are not initialized.

Send data from activity to fragment in Android

Also You can access activity data from fragment:

Activity:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    private String myString = "hello";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
        ...
    }

    public String getMyData() {
        return myString;
    }
}

Fragment:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        MyActivity activity = (MyActivity) getActivity();
        String myDataFromActivity = activity.getMyData();
        return view;
    }
}

How to use RANK() in SQL Server

Change:

RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ContenderNum ORDER BY totals ASC) AS xRank

to:

RANK() OVER (ORDER BY totals DESC) AS xRank

Have a look at this example:

SQL Fiddle DEMO

You might also want to have a look at the difference between RANK (Transact-SQL) and DENSE_RANK (Transact-SQL):

RANK (Transact-SQL)

If two or more rows tie for a rank, each tied rows receives the same rank. For example, if the two top salespeople have the same SalesYTD value, they are both ranked one. The salesperson with the next highest SalesYTD is ranked number three, because there are two rows that are ranked higher. Therefore, the RANK function does not always return consecutive integers.

DENSE_RANK (Transact-SQL)

Returns the rank of rows within the partition of a result set, without any gaps in the ranking. The rank of a row is one plus the number of distinct ranks that come before the row in question.

What is the default database path for MongoDB?

The Windows x64 installer shows the a path in the installer UI/wizard.

You can confirm which path it used later, by opening your mongod.cfg file. My mongod.cfg was located here C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.cfg (change for your version of MongoDB!

When I opened my mongd.cfg I found this line, showing the default db path:

dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data

However, this caused an error when trying to run mongod, which was still expecting to find C:\data\db:

2019-05-05T09:32:36.084-0700 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: NonExistentPath: Data directory C:\data\db\ not found., terminating

You could pass mongod a --dbpath=... parameter. In my case:

mongod --dbpath="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\data"

How to check if a directory containing a file exist?

To check if a folder exists or not, you can simply use the exists() method:

// Create a File object representing the folder 'A/B'
def folder = new File( 'A/B' )

// If it doesn't exist
if( !folder.exists() ) {
  // Create all folders up-to and including B
  folder.mkdirs()
}

// Then, write to file.txt inside B
new File( folder, 'file.txt' ).withWriterAppend { w ->
  w << "Some text\n"
}

Assertion failure in dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:

I setup everything correctly in the Storyboard and did a clean build but kept getting the error " must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard"

[self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"Cell"];

Corrected the error but i'm still at a loss. I'm not using a 'custom cell', just a view with a tableview embeded. I have declared the viewcontroller as delegate and datasource and made sure the cell identifier matches in file. whats going on here?

Python Requests and persistent sessions

Save only required cookies and reuse them.

import os
import pickle
from urllib.parse import urljoin, urlparse

login = '[email protected]'
password = 'secret'
# Assuming two cookies are used for persistent login.
# (Find it by tracing the login process)
persistentCookieNames = ['sessionId', 'profileId']
URL = 'http://example.com'
urlData = urlparse(URL)
cookieFile = urlData.netloc + '.cookie'
signinUrl = urljoin(URL, "/signin")
with requests.Session() as session:
    try:
        with open(cookieFile, 'rb') as f:
            print("Loading cookies...")
            session.cookies.update(pickle.load(f))
    except Exception:
        # If could not load cookies from file, get the new ones by login in
        print("Login in...")
        post = session.post(
            signinUrl,
            data={
                'email': login,
                'password': password,
            }
        )
        try:
            with open(cookieFile, 'wb') as f:
                jar = requests.cookies.RequestsCookieJar()
                for cookie in session.cookies:
                    if cookie.name in persistentCookieNames:
                        jar.set_cookie(cookie)
                pickle.dump(jar, f)
        except Exception as e:
            os.remove(cookieFile)
            raise(e)
    MyPage = urljoin(URL, "/mypage")
    page = session.get(MyPage)

Reset the Value of a Select Box

VBA: activating/selecting a worksheet/row/cell

This is just a sample code, but it may help you get on your way:

Public Sub testIt()
    Workbooks("Workbook2").Activate
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
    ActiveSheet.Range("B3").Select
    ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert
End Sub

I am assuming that you can open the book (called Workbook2 in the example).


I think (but I'm not sure) you can squash all this in a single line of code:

    Workbooks("Workbook2").Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B3").EntireRow.Insert

This way you won't need to activate the workbook (or sheet or cell)... Obviously, the book has to be open.

How do I resolve the "java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind" error?

Exit/save edit to sudoers file? Putty SSH

To make changes to sudo from putty/bash:

  • Type visudo and press enter.
  • Navigate to the place you wish to edit using the up and down arrow keys.
  • Press insert to go into editing mode.
  • Make your changes - for example: user ALL=(ALL) ALL.
  • Note - it matters whether you use tabs or spaces when making changes.
  • Once your changes are done press esc to exit editing mode.
  • Now type :wq to save and press enter.
  • You should now be back at bash.
  • Now you can press ctrl + D to exit the session if you wish.

How to declare Return Types for Functions in TypeScript

You can read more about function types in the language specification in sections 3.5.3.5 and 3.5.5.

The TypeScript compiler will infer types when it can, and this is done you do not need to specify explicit types. so for the greeter example, greet() returns a string literal, which tells the compiler that the type of the function is a string, and no need to specify a type. so for instance in this sample, I have the greeter class with a greet method that returns a string, and a variable that is assigned to number literal. the compiler will infer both types and you will get an error if you try to assign a string to a number.

class Greeter {
    greet() {
        return "Hello, ";  // type infered to be string
    }
} 

var x = 0; // type infered to be number

// now if you try to do this, you will get an error for incompatable types
x = new Greeter().greet(); 

Similarly, this sample will cause an error as the compiler, given the information, has no way to decide the type, and this will be a place where you have to have an explicit return type.

function foo(){
    if (true)
        return "string"; 
    else 
        return 0;
}

This, however, will work:

function foo() : any{
    if (true)
        return "string"; 
    else 
        return 0;
}

Populating a database in a Laravel migration file

Another clean way to do it is to define a private method which create instance et persist concerned Model.

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('label', 256);
        $table->timestamps();
        $table->softDeletes();
    });

    $this->postCreate('admin', 'user');
}

private function postCreate(string ...$roles)  {
    foreach ($roles as $role) {
        $model = new Role();
        $model->setAttribute('label', $role);
        $model->save();
    }
}

With this solution, timestamps fields will be generated by Eloquent.

EDIT: it's better to use seeder system to disctinct database structure generation and database population.

MVC 4 Data Annotations "Display" Attribute

If two different views are sharing the same model (for instance, maybe one is for mobile output and one is regular), it could be nice to have the string reside in a single place: as metadata on the ViewModel.

Additionally, if you had an inherited version of the model that necessitated a different display, it could be useful. For instance:

public class BaseViewModel
{
    [Display(Name = "Basic Name")]
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}

public class OtherViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
    [Display(Name = "Customized Inherited Name")]
    public override string Name { get; set; }
}

I'll admit that that example is pretty contrived...

Those are the best arguments in favor of using the attribute that I can come up with. My personal opinion is that, for the most part, that sort of thing is best left to the markup.

How to change the map center in Leaflet.js

Use map.panTo(); does not do anything if the point is in the current view. Use map.setView() instead.

I had a polyline and I had to center map to a new point in polyline at every second. Check the code : GOOD: https://jsfiddle.net/nstudor/xcmdwfjk/

mymap.setView(point, 11, { animation: true });        

BAD: https://jsfiddle.net/nstudor/Lgahv905/

mymap.panTo(point);
mymap.setZoom(11);

String replace method is not replacing characters

You aren't doing anything with the return value of replace. You'll need to assign the result of the method, which is the new String:

sentence = sentence.replace("and", " ");

A String is immutable in java. Methods like replace return a new String.

Your contains test is unnecessary: replace will just no-op if there aren't instances of the text to replace.

Regarding C++ Include another class

The thing with compiling two .cpp files at the same time, it doesnt't mean they "know" about eachother. You will have to create a file, the "tells" your File1.cpp, there actually are functions and classes like ClassTwo. This file is called header-file and often doesn't include any executable code. (There are exception, e.g. for inline functions, but forget them at first) They serve a declarative need, just for telling, which functions are available.

When you have your File2.cpp and include it into your File1.cpp, you see a small problem: There is the same code twice: One in the File1.cpp and one in it's origin, File2.cpp.

Therefore you should create a header file, like File1.hpp or File1.h (other names are possible, but this is simply standard). It works like the following:

//File1.cpp

void SomeFunc(char c) //Definition aka Implementation
{
//do some stuff
}

//File1.hpp

void SomeFunc(char c); //Declaration aka Prototype

And for a matter of clean code you might add the following to the top of File1.cpp:

#include "File1.hpp"

And the following, surrounding File1.hpp's code:

#ifndef FILE1.HPP_INCLUDED
#define FILE1.HPP_INCLUDED
//
//All your declarative code
//
#endif

This makes your header-file cleaner, regarding to duplicate code.

Why does multiplication repeats the number several times?

You cannot multiply an integer by a string. To be sure, you could try using the int (short for integer which means whole number) command, like this for example -

firstNumber = int(9)
secondNumber = int(1)
answer = (firstNumber*secondNumber)

Hope that helped :)

C function that counts lines in file

while(!feof(fp))
{
  ch = fgetc(fp);

  {
    lines++;
  }

But please note: Why is “while ( !feof (file) )” always wrong?.

Reverse engineering from an APK file to a project

Yes, you can get your project back. Just rename the yourproject.apk file to yourproject.zip, and you will get all the files inside that ZIP file. We are changing the file extension from .apk to .zip. From that ZIP file, extract the classes.dex file and decompile it by following way.

First, you need a tool to extract all the (compiled) classes on the DEX to a JAR. There's one called dex2jar, which is made by a Chinese student.

Then, you can use JD-GUI to decompile the classes in the JAR to source code. The resulting source code should be quite readable, as dex2jar applies some optimizations.

Adding header for HttpURLConnection

If you are using Java 8, use the code below.

URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) connection;

String basicAuth = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((username+":"+password).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
httpConn.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic "+basicAuth);
