Remove Filter  | Just for fun, I wrote up a quick tutorial for basic assembly. At present, it's only in the form of a PDF document, but I'll eventually get around to adding it to my website.  |
| | When you want to remove extraneous characters from an input stream in C++, it's usually because you mixed formatted and unformatted input methods. The formatted method would leave a newline in the stream and the unformatted method would consume it and terminate successfully, but fail completely to do what you … |
| | I'm digging this change. It's small, but solved threads are much more visible now. :)  |
| | It's not uncommon to have a mental image of people online that is a complete mismatch with their real world appearance. I thought it would be interesting to see how different members of Daniweb are perceived by their peers. Pick any members you find interesting and describe how you imagine …  |
| | Hey Dani, I know you [i]really[/i] want us to use the personalized home page and favorite forums, but is there any chance of a feature for collapsing categories on the main forum list? That's something I very much miss from the previous design.  |
| | The purple bar at the bottom of the page is not working properly when I browse Daniweb on my iPad (presumably the iPhone has the same problem). Rather than stick to the bottom of the browser window, it locks to the original position and obscures everything at that point (which … |
| | I noticed that the icode button was removed from the post editor. Why?  |
| | On the top level forum list [LIST] [*]Not being able to collapse categories constantly irritates me. [/LIST] In a forum [LIST] [*]Need a link back to the forum list [*]Mark forum read and page links are at the bottom of the page. These should be available at the top of …  |
| | Daniweb has an IRC channel, but how many people know that? How many people use it? Seven? Maybe eight? I think this is a sorely neglected corner of the community.  |
| | Consider the following program and input file: [code] #include <algorithm> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> #include <functional> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <string> #include <vector> #include "natural_compare.h" struct natural_less: std::binary_function<std::string, std::string, bool> { bool operator()(const std::string& a, const std::string& b) { return natural_compare(a, b) < 0; } }; std::vector<std::string> …  |
| | Regular: A Daniweb member who visits/posts frequently, and tends to be friends with others who visit/post frequently. New members could easily be overwhelmed by the mass of people running around, and it's hard to fit yourself in a community as old as Daniweb, where members are already well entrenched and …  |
| | Now that you've added this extra statistic, it would be nice to also include a search filter based on votes. For example, say I want to search for all of my posts that have been downvoted, or posts with more than one upvote. Currently I have to do a search … |
| | Does the search algorithm use the current contents of the database, or a snapshot? Because I can do a search for something I know exists in a recent thread, but it doesn't show up in the results. |
| | You are cordially invited to the [B]#daniweb[/B] channel on server [B]irc.daniweb.com[/B], port [B]6667[/B]. We need some new blood to keep the conversations fresh, and what's more fun than chatting with your favorite techies in real-time? |
| | [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread184342.html[/url] It seems AD is seeing something similar to me, but that thread is horribly messed up. I'm viewing it with Firefox 3.0.8 and words can't really describe the jumble of images and formatting that's all wrong.  |

| | I notice that the quick edit box for an existing post has a quote button, but not code, tex, or icode buttons. Meaning that one has to type the tags manually or go to the advanced edit page. Is this an oversight, or are there legitimate reasons for it? |
| | Here's a challenge for you C++ aces. The challenge is to write a function with the following declaration: [code] unsigned long extract_digits ( unsigned long x, size_t n, size_t i ); [/code] This challenge has three parts. [B]Part I (Beginner):[/B] Write the extract_digits function. It should return a sub-value of … |
| | Have you ever gotten something completely and utterly random stuck in your head? That's what I have right now, just a gibberish phrase that came out of nowhere and won't go away: yaba yaba poi gatau.  |
| | Post your tips for making life easier in C and C++. I'll start: [SIZE=3][B]Standard vector object initialization[/B][/SIZE] The biggest problem with the standard vector class is that one can't use an array initializer. This forces us to do something like this: [code] #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int … |
| | I've been writing my own implementation of stdio.h whenever I get a few spare minutes recently. Nothing fancy or thorough, and without wide character support, it's hardly conforming. But I was looking at one of my intermediate versions of printf and could only marvel at how ugly it was. So …  |
| | I've noticed several times a couple of odd occurrences on the forums recently. 1) Sometimes I simply cannot mark a forum as read. I'll read all of the forums, explicitly mark the forum as read, and mark all forums as read, yet the forum will still show as having unread … |
| | >How can i convert a number to binary in c++ If you stare at it really hard, things will start to blur and when you turn your head, it'll start to look like binary in your peripheral vision. |
| | Let's pretend that I'm interviewing you for a C++ job. I want to know how you[1] approach problems and the extent of your C++ prowess, so I'm going to ask you to solve short problems in C++[2]. These problems range from beginner to advanced, and may be more than they …  |
| | Normally I'm an avid Everquest II player, but I decided to try this out based on the good reviews. And it's awesome! I can't get over the visual effects and how beautiful the game looks without bogging down my high-end machine (ala Vanguard). The world feels big and looks great. … |
| | I've noticed a need for this both as a mortal and as a mod. If I could set up a list of "people to watch" that would show me the same information as the currently active users list except with only those people, that would be stellar! :) On a …  |

| | You can tell a lot about a person from their keyboard and mouse choices. What's your favorite keyboard and mouse? Why do you like it? What kind of work do you do? My favorite mouse is the [url=http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2142,CONTENTID=10715]Logitech G5[/url]. Aside from having a comfortable grip and gaming quality stats, I …  |
| | This is just a suggestion for a convenience feature. It would be nice if we could collapse the forum categories that we don't use. For instance, I visit the Software Development forums and the Coffee House forums, but rarely anything else. I find myself having to do a lot of … |
| | This really is just a whine, because I don't have a viable alternative to suggest at the moment. The big banner adds cause a noticeable slowdown when loading every page on Daniweb, and sometimes after the page has loaded when trying to scroll. I say noticeable because not only can … |
| | |
| | I like the look. The operation totally bites though. As a primary example, it annoys me to no end that your collection of ads requires me to hit the back button on my browser multiple times just to move back to the last page I was viewing. I'm also not … |
| | Since C and C++ are different languages, would it benefit Daniweb to split the C/C++ forum into separate C and C++ forums? |
| | For those of you who don't know, Daniweb has an IRC server. I'm there a lot, and I don't see any of you. That's not good because I'm there, of course. Real time chat with the resident guru ([B]shamless[/B]) will make you smarter ([B]utterly shameless[/B]) and cooler ([B]words cannot express …  |
| | Daniweb's IRC channel is boring, and it's everybody's fault. The more people that go there, the more fun it will be, so I order everyone to get an IRC client (because Java clients suck) and go to irc.daniweb.com, port 6667 and join #daniweb. This goes double for people who visit …  |
| | There's a link to list all active users on Daniweb from the forum nexus. It would be nice to also have that feature for each individual forum, or at least a way to sort by forum. Would that be too difficult to implement? |
| | The game is simple. Search a forum (preferrably one that you don't visit often) and post a quote from that forum that you find amusing, informative or just plain cool. Use of the search feature is encouraged. Rules: 1) All quotes must include the name of the original poster. 2) … |
| | Since Dani refuses to post, and you people should care enough about the community to follow the log closely, I attached it. ;) |
| | Just for fun, I threw this together by modifying and adding to a simple language definition posted here recently. Since everyone hates me, I'll give you a chance to snipe at my first draft. :D The code is long enough to be an uncomfortable post, so I'll attach a zip … |
The End.
