I need to remove the right icons that are the up and down arrows from a Material UI TextField that I modified from the Material UI documentations (https://material-ui.com/components/autocomplete/#autocomplete) Highlights section.

I tried some solutions from stack overflow like (Remove the arrow and cross that appears for TextField type=“time” material-ui React) and (Remove the arrow and cross that appears for TextField type=“time” material-ui React) but they didn't work and, I ended up with the following code:

App.js:

I need to modify the Autocomplete Highlight provided as an example to fit my needs. (https://material-ui.com/components/autocomplete/#autocomplete)

The Highlight example provided has borders so I used the solution from this link (how to remove border in textfield fieldset in material ui) to modify my TextField and remove it's border and it works except that when I type in the search input I don't get the autocomplete suggestions.

I also replaced the Icon, and ended up with the following code:

Question: How can I enforce existing users to set up 2FA in .Net Core 3.1 Identity?

I have seen a couple of answers here already, but I have issues with them as follows:

1. Redirect user to set up 2FA page on login if they do not have it set up. Problem with this is that the user can simply jump to a different url to avoid this, therefore it is not actually enforced.

2. Have some on executing filter that checks if the user has 2FA enbaled or not and if not redirect them to MFA set up page. The issue I have with this is that on every single navigation the server must go to the database to check whether the user has this field enabled, thus creating a significant performance hit on each request. I know one trip to the database may not sound like much but I have worked with applications where this was the norm and other things used this method, causing a pile up of pre action db queries. I want to avoid this kind of behavior unless absolutely necessary.

My current idea is to on login:

1. Check the users credentials but NOT log them in

   userManager.CheckPasswordAsync(....)

2. If the credentials pass, check if the user has 2FA enabled or not. If they do, continue through login flow, if not:

3. Generate a user token:

   userManager.GenerateUserTokenAsync(.......)

and store this along with the username in a server side cache. Then pass a key to the cached items with a redirect to the 2FA setup page, which will not have the [authorize] attribute set, allowing users not logged in to access it.

1. Before doing anything on the 2FA set up page, retrieve the cached items with the provied key andverify the token and username:

   userManager.VerifyUserTokenAsync(......)

2. If this doesn't pass, return Unauthorized otherwise continue and get the current user from the supplied UserName in the url that was passed via a cache key. Also dump the cached items and key so that should the url be snatched by a dodgy browser extension it can't be used again.

3. Continue to pass a new cache key to new user tokens and usernames to each 2FA page to authenticate the user as they navigate.

Is this an appropriate use of user tokens? And is this approach secure enough? I'm concerned that having the user not logged in presents security issues, but I think it is necessary in order to avoid the previously mention problem of going to the database on every request to check 2FA, as with this method trying to navigate away will just redirect to login.

I have been exploring coding recently and I really enjoy grinding a problem down. I am getting comfortable with AppleScript now and I think it is a good option for what I want to do in the future with coding. My gut tells me that Automator would be less efficient RAM wise and I don't like how it is sectioned off; to constraining and confusing. I like the sandbox feature of a scripting language. I built a pretty good script for a web crawler that opens an online stock portfolio and prunes the market price of cryptocurrencies. I plan on utilizing technological decision making labs to create a cryptocurrency forecasting workbook for my hopes and dreams to make money some day, if ever :[ I have day dreams of making a live excel file that builds plots with hourly fluctuations in the trading.

To make it a full fledged automated system I need some sort of way to loop the script or schedule it to run on a schedule to get lots of data points for the mathematical models I hope to formulate from the data. I have tried really hard to make the idle handler work but it just doesn't operate like the tutorials describe. It seems you can't use "on idle" with certain commands and I get an error every gosh darn time I use the thing. I found a help page that showed how to incorporate a "beep" function to make sure the idle loop is running and when I compile and save as an "always running App" it doesn't play the beep so I guess that's another problem I haven't figured out. I get the beep to work sometimes but with my final draft of my program now I can't get it to work. I have tried inserting it ever so carefully within tell statements because I have found it works with them sometimes. And I guess you can't have the idle handler span the entire script; it needs to be called in one command structures tree to work. But I still haven't had the App run the script from idle with all the work I've put in looking into this solution. Anybody that has the hush hush on the idle handler secrets can do their best to try to explain the inner workings of the script to me but I find that it takes me a long time to learn coding because it is a lot of very technical reading with precious few opportunities to forge your own learning. Coding is a lot of boiler plate rehashes and I assume I will be chipping away at writing code long into my grey hair days with what I've learned so far.

But if you could use this question to collect some reading material on how to take a moderately well written script to run in 30 minute increments in the background of a laptop that can handle most computing loads fairly well it would be most appreciated. I'm not against Automator; it's just hard in it's own right with all the things you have to know to get it to work. As I said, any info about the idle handler and how to get it to work would be helpful. Also, if it is possible to write code in AppleScript to generate plots in Microsoft Excel, I like making models for shirts and googles.

I guess I will share what I've worked on for the last chunk of a weeks worth of grinding the tutorials offered currently online for free. Any critiques or suggestions on how to make the script I've got so far better is greatly appreciated and I don't mind if you snatch something you like if I did a good jerb. This is a web crawling cryptocurrency stock analyzer currently. It follows 3 currencies and writes data to an excel file with year, month, day, and seconds to collect a mass of data for a stronger mathematical model. I studied technological forecasting techniques that apply seasonality to data so the forecasts are better than just using the trend line function in excel, though with the variability with cryptocurrency I wouldn't put much salt on a long term prediction of market prices. I just want to be watching for those oh so gut wrenching stock crashes for a chance to limp in to the game with what little money I can scrounge together for sustenance.

So I was messing around with Selenium with Python and I wanted to automate some stuff such as, if I write Netflix on the script Netflix opens, some power options change, etc... The problem is, I'm using Firefox and, when I open it I just get the robot icon near the search bar and the search bar itself gets those bars on the foreground. I've tried a lot of stuff, including the good ol' "snatch and grab code from a stranger and put it there even if you don't know what it does or if it works" and... It did not. The problem is that getting recognized as a bot doesn't save passwords and accounts, and after opening Firefox on Netflix for example I always end up opening other tabs that won't have my password as well. Anyone knows how to not get recognized as a bot?

I used to use a program called mps-YouTube. It allows to easily play YouTube playlists. Currently it doesn't work anymore, since the Limit has been reached (presumably because every mps-YouTube user shared the same API key).

This made me wonder. You need to register an API key with google, yet you can just use YouTube for free (even adblocking works without any issues).

Since I have to use the API anyway for watching YouTube videos with my browser and don't have an API key, why does mps-YouTube need an API key?

And what would prevent someone from just snatching the key from an open source project like mps-YouTube and using it anywhere else?

After typing a value and selecting an option in Material-UI Autocomplete with Multiple, the entered value is cleared.

Is there a way to make AutoComplete persist the typed value even after selection? Like the one bellow...

I was having a go at the following problem from the AIO (Australian Informatics Olympiad) Training Problems Site (Question in Italics and specifics in bold, my attempt below):

The Problem

Encyclopaedia

Input File: encyin.txt

Output File: encyout.txt

Time Limit: 1 second

Once again it is quiz night at the My Very First Encyclopedia Appreciation Society. For week after week, you have turned up to these quizzes, deftly answering question after question about zoo animals and days of the week, only for someone else to answer all the obscure bonus-round questions at the end, snatching first place and leaving you with nothing but a 'Nice Try!' sticker.

Dejected and disheartened, you are sitting at home musing upon your past failures, when a thought occurs to you. Could it be...? Riffling through months of angrily scribbled notes, you confirm your sneaking suspicion - the bonus questions follow a super-simple pattern! Your heart skips a beat. Every question in every bonus round of every quiz you've sat through has been phrased in the form: "How many words are there on page x of the My Very First Encyclopedia?" Normally you would consider that a little unlikely, even contrived, but not today - today you have a Mars bar to win.

With infinite care you compile a list of page numbers and their corresponding word counts. Others in your place might try to memorise the list, but no, your plan is far more hi-tech: first, you will write a program that can answer these questions for you; then, you will sneak your trusty laptop into the quiz, and proceed to blitz the competition.

All that's left is for you to actually write the program. The task seems simple: it has to take your list of numbers and tonight's bonus questions, and - quietly - print out the correct answers for you.

Input

The first line of the input will be of the form n q, where n is the number of pages in the encyclopedia, and q is the number of questions to be answered. (1 <= n, q <= 10,000)

Following this will be n lines, each describing a single page. The ith of these lines will contain the single integer pi, the number of words on page i. (0 <= pi <= 2,000,000,000)

Following this will be q lines, each describing a single question. Each of these lines will contain a single integer x, representing the question, "How many words are there on page x?" (1 <= x <= n)

Output

For each question, your program should write a single line of output. This line should contain a single integer, the number of words on the requested page.

My Attempt

I was able to write up the start of the code easily enough:

I have multiple elements that use javascript. Some of it I wrote myself and some of it is code I have snatched from sites like CodePen.

I have pages extending others etc, but if I am to lay out my javascript/bootstrap imports in sequential order, this is it:
