I needed to design a UI using JavaFX. I use SceneBuilder for building my UI. I found this invaluable link for using AnchorPanes concept to make it work inside TabPanels. It really cleared my concepts in a minute and I had a working tab based UI shortly.
I recently started exploring python and immediately ran into the following issue:
$ pip install requests
-bash: pip: command not found
A quick google search yielded this result. So basically on MacOS you have Python preinstalled along with easy_install command. So the following command installs pip:
$ sudo easy_install pip
Searching for pip
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
Best match: pip 9.0.1

A quick and handy solution indeed!
I found a good piece of code which can be used to extract multiple email from a String. A modified version of the code is listed below:
public static String readContactEmailFromString(String resumeText) {
final String RE_MAIL = "([\\w\\-]([\\.\\w])+[\\w]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4})";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(RE_MAIL);
Matcher m = p.matcher(resumeText);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while(m.find()) {
if (sb.toString().contains(m.group(1))) continue;
if (sb.toString().isEmpty()) {
sb.append(m.group(1));
} else {
sb.append("; " + m.group(1));
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
I am currently using Github and all project members have forked the main repository into private repository. Now the problem is that I need to review my colleagues code committed in his branch inside his forked repository. So to do this I found out a good article that showed me exactly how to do that. I used the following approach.
git remote add my-colleague https://github.xyz.com/my-colleague/project.git git fetch my-colleague git checkout -b my-colleague-branch --track my-colleague/branch
After I do this I can see all the work done by my colleague and I can switch back to my branch anytime.

I use CURL for debugging my REST endpoints every now and then if I don’t want to use Postman or DHC clients. I usually like to copy paste results / statistics from command line into emails to my colleagues. This gives them a plain jane command which they can use to test themselves as well as compare their results with mine. The following article has some good pointers on how to use CURL and some very practical examples have been provided.

I needed to install a local jar file into my laptop’s local maven repository and found this article. I used this approach to install this jar file in my repo:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=my-model-1.2.1.jar -DgroupId=com.cyberaka.my.package -DartifactId=my-model -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
This duly added the local jar file under appropriate group id and artifact id inside my maven repository and I was able to refer to this dependency through my project’s pom.
Lets say I have two servers running on my laptop
1. http://localhost:3000 – This is the UI
2. http://localhost:4000 – This is the web services API
So now I need to setup something like this:
1. http://localhost/ – This should point to UI
2. http://localhost/api/ – This should point to web services API
To set this up I have used NGINX and added this section in the “server” section of the nginx.conf file. On my Mac system this file is located at: /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
location /api/ {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://localhost:4000/;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
}
To reload NGINX I use the “-s reload” parameter for nginx. On my Mac I execute this command:
/usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.10.0/bin/nginx -s reload
Lets say I type something in Hindi and the outcome is listed below:

The main thing to notice here is that every hindi character is starting with the byte “E0”. This is basically a code point which identifies the code size of the UTF-8 character. The following table appropriate highlights it:
Binary Hex Comments
0xxxxxxx 0x00..0x7F Only byte of a 1-byte character encoding
10xxxxxx 0x80..0xBF Continuation bytes (1-3 continuation bytes)
110xxxxx 0xC0..0xDF First byte of a 2-byte character encoding
1110xxxx 0xE0..0xEF First byte of a 3-byte character encoding
11110xxx 0xF0..0xF4 First byte of a 4-byte character encoding

I needed to email an HTML report and I was not happy with the fact that we have to create zip file containing the HTML, Images etc. I knew it was possible to embed base64 data directly into HTML I started looking for some PoC. My search took me to an online base64 encoder and decoder. This gave me the idea to convert the external image files into base64 string and embed it directly into HTML. On some search I landed up Apache Commons Codec Library which contains a Base64 class which can be used to covert an input stream into a base64 string.
