 | a bolt cutter and a big bucket of superglue to cut off the spammer's computers from the internet and then glue the door to his room shut with him inside.  |
 | And similarly I've worked with systems where the devices has SIM cards and a GSM plan but no data. All communication was done using SMS. Bit cumbersome, but that's how things worked back in the day when mobile data plans were either unavailable, unreliable, and/or extremely expensive and the volume … |
 | Even worse: the junk being deliberately fed to AIs is already at the stage where the results are useless BUT those results are blindly believed by many people BECAUSE they're generated by AI and therefore supposedly automatically correct! Think Google's disastrous launch of their image generator which would under no …  |
 | When the morning comes, Only the wind and rocks remain the same. The rising tide washes away the past, leaving the sand, a new page to be written on. An alltime favourite saying of a freshly deceased very close friend of mine. Rest in peace my friend, you will not …  |
| | I've been involved with projects outsourced to India several times. All but one of those I got involved because the results coming out of India were so bad a local team was put together to rebuild the product from scratch. The one that wasn't as bad wasn't mainly because the … |
 | It's faster to write the code yourself than it is to fix up the junk produced by those AI "assistants". Code generators have been around for decades for specific purposes, and can work well, but these things are pretty much useless. |
| | the most annoying things about TV shows are actors. |
| | Question is: what level of technology. The clothes you wear are the product of technology after all. So is most if not all of the food you consume. Your toothbrush is the product of technology.  |
 | Why restrict ourselves to base 10? This is an IT site after all so let's continue in hexadecimal... E |
| | VB has not been abandoned. VB6 is however so old nobody should be surprised if it's no longer being maintained, it's been long since replaced with new versions. |
| | |
| | Remember that ChatGPT has no real time connection with anything, it only knows that data was loaded into its database, which is a very selective dataset that is several years old. That's part of the reason for all the disclaimers on not using it for financial advise, any advise you … |
| | Iiyama and MSI haven't let me down yet. Had 1 Iiyama fail on me last year, after nearly 10 years. |
| | The best thing, and what most sites use, is to not allow a user to post anything until they verify their email address. Not that it'd matter much in the specific case of the homework kiddo not responding to comments, as that's never their intent. They just dump their assignment … |
 | "live user counters" are a lie! It's technically impossible to create such a thing as you never know whether a user is still actively using the page you're counting them as being on (or indeed the site). All you can hope for to do is create a counter of the … |
| | Ideally you want a mix of experience and new blood. And why do you think experienced people can't be motivated or interested in new things? What's more important in a team than anything else though is that the people can work together well. If you have 10 unicorns, each the … |
| | As a business owner, you obviously make your own rules in this, as long as they stay within the TOS of each service you use. That said, don't spam, post things where and when appropriate only, and tailor each post to the venue (as with all marketing efforts). As an … |
| | JSP is very old technology, I'd not advise it for new projects but if you're interested in learning it for the same of things or to work on maintenance of legacy code it's quite viable. Yes, JSP is essentially a blend of servlets with html. If you look at the …  |
| | Re: DoublePrecision In finance, or anywhere where precision is important, you use fixed point numbers (integer math), not floating point. In finance moreover, typically (and this is an internationally recognised standard employed by banks) only the first 5 digits are considered significant. Anything over that is irrelevant. |
| | Most people who have instagram accounts are bots, whether they're computer programs or brainless humans. Just contact them and pay them to follow you. |
| | It means someone who can do everything, frontend, backend, server administration, database administration, security, graphics design, everything. And don't expect to get away with being good at one thing on their bucket list and merely decent at the rest, you're expected to be a world expert at everything while working … |
 | Derby was included in Java7, it isn't in Java17 as it was removed with the release of Java9. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53911999/where-is-the-derby-jar-file-within-my-java-11-installation-on-mac Java11 saw a whole bucket list of stuff removed as well, and some more pruning has been going on since. Mostly these are features that were duplicated from Java EE or …  |
| | Google probably switched to a lower resolution provider. Whether that's forced because of unavailability of other data (maybe a supplier went out of business, or isn't allowed any longer to sell them the data) or to save money (lower resolution images are cheaper than higher resolution ones) I don't know. … |
 | better yet, copy/paste the code into a code block. I for one (and hopefully everyone) won't open attachments...  |
 | Just do like all the other spammers do, spam your website on Daniweb and every other forum website that doesn't have a strong anti-spam policy (or has one but doesn't bother to enforce it). |
 | add a million random words in a hidden div at the bottom of your page for the search engines to pick up? Seems popular... And gets your page listed everywhere so people see it whether they're searching for it or not... |
 | Re: I am back again A GOOD training course gives you time to experiment and practice along with the course material, and knows you need that time to gain proficiency. They also make sure they can meet the needs of both faster and slower students. Which is what in my experience many Udemy course creators …  |
| | So you want someone to do your homework (because that's very clearly what it is, your school homework) for you. The answer to that from any programmer worth the job name is HECK NO. We don't want fakers with diplomas they didn't earn in the profession as it makes our … |
 | flipping schemes like this aren't the purpose of places like Etsy... And most of them are scams anyway, promising shipment of items that don't exist until they are sold, mostly. Often the seller takes the buyer's money, invests it in something (often crypto), and either never ships the actual goods … |
| | Get a good book, read it, understand it, and start experimenting. Bjarne Stroustrup is a good place to start if you're serious: https://www.stroustrup.com/ First 3 books he lists (all his own work) make a good start. Another good book is Stanley Lippman's "C++ Primer". Sure you can learn by just … |
 | Re: Websites ranking spam forums like this one with the URL of your website, apparently. A lot of people seem to do it so I guess it works. |
| | do your own homework, or at least try and show where you are stuck. Us doing your homework for you helps nobody, least of all any of us who may end up with an incompetent idiot who got his diplomas by cheating.  |
| | Ever more government agencies and some companies won't work with a supplier until they have specific ISO certifications, and this is the latest fad among those. |
| | looks like a spam account that forgot the link to their website in the post and profile... |
| | It'll just invite more spambots, not just to post the posts to be paid out but even more of them to upvote those posts. Unless you can take care of the glut of spam accounts and homework kiddos (who'd no doubt do the same for their classmates) you'd just end … |
| | Sounds like a poor project setup, and not having your classes as part of packages makes that even worse. Not using a normal naming convention for classes makes things worse still. Not knowing your tools doesn't help either. |
| | It tells you EXACTLY where the error is and what the error is. You're passing a null value for an argument where an actual value is required. It's for you to figure out what that actual value should be. |
| | having worked until very recently on ACTUAL airport software, I can tell you this is indeed not anything real. It's a simple homework assignment. Nothing wrong with those, they're supposed to be simplified. But they're also supposed to be implemented by the pupil or student, and not strewn around the … |
| | All depends on what you need it for... A web application needs a server to run on, lots more infrastructure than a standalone desktop application. Of course if you're just interested in a single static page, then yeah, it might be easier to make a rough outline in html and … |
 | So you want us to do your homework for you. That's not going to teach you anything, and would end up with your future colleagues having an unqualified coworker who graduated without deserving it. Instead do it yourself and then if you don't feel comfortable maybe ask specific questions about … |
| | An easier approach would be to store just the ingredients list per recipe in json or xml, allows you to use already existing languages to create an application that can combine those ingredient lists into a shopping list. And if you want you can create a recipe repository to go … |
| | Which shows again how important it is to have proper code review processes and things like that in place, even for open source projects. A properly run project wouldn't have had this problem as the code in question would never have been approved for inclusion in the first place. |
| | Do you have a few BILLION dollars to invest in that venture? As that's what it'll take to create a viable competitor to both those giants (or even facebook alone) and the marketing to get it a large enough user base to get to the point it has critical mass …  |
 | ah, doublespace. Loved that software. It was doublespace.bin, and would create doublespace.000, 001, etc. as needed as well. The slowdown wasn't noticeable as machines back then were so slow the disk wasn't the performance bottleneck it is today. From personal experience: if a drive fails with hardware errors, don't put …  |
| | first learn to write coherently. Your wall of text causes most people (including me) to simply give up after a few sentences (if they even get started). So the only thing I got from your rant was that you want to become some sort of super programmer without ever actually … |
| | Public cloud solutions may be cheaper and convenient in the short term, in the long term they're expensive, brittle, and leave you open to the whims of a third party (or multiple third parties) for the availability and security of your data. That may be a risk you're willing to … |
| | I've tried several, and the only one I kinda like is the one provided by IntelliJ. It seems to create the least convoluted code, but as anything it takes time to learn to use properly. |
| | pumping 5 million rows is going to be a problem to do in a few seconds over any kind of network connection, and if it then needs to be parsed into some output format and then pushed over another network connection to yet another computer to display (worse still if … |
| | sadly the politicisation of covid has caused a lot of people to think that way. I've seen people flip-flop on it even. A leftist friend before Biden became president was all opposed to "the Trump vaccine that's going to kill everyone", there was no virus, Fauci was the literal devil. … |
| | I'm trying to use CLion (thus CMake) to create OpenGL applications using C++ on MacOS Monterey using a 2021 (so M1 based) Macbook. Glew2 and GLFW3 are installed correctly using Homebrew, XCode and the commandline tools are installed as well. Creating and compiling/running through XCode works fine, but using the … |
The End.
