When I was kid my father bought me an Amstrad 6128 (after playing a little I desided it to brake down a program to see what is inside it and re fix it – same logic I did with toy cars or anything that had the unfortunate lack to be in my hands), that…

 | Dani I have never seen in in that way , just two clarification questions if you would like. As I understood you are talking about URLs that are disallowed in robots.txt to be crawled by Google , but what meta name="robots" do the have in their html head ? Also …  |
| | I'm still using jQuery, a very slim build. Our JS library/framework handles all the heavy lifting, including AJAX, WebSockets, logical events, data manipulation, and architectural events. Replacing jQuery would be relatively easy since we often use our own extended jQuery functions, like our custom 'onClick' (which has a different implementation … |
 | I started replying to Robert_171 but in the middle I realized that this doesn't worth typing. Its just an advertisement of a link (not SEO apparently) |
| | The loading="lazy" HTML attribute-value pair was introduced in 2019–2020, so I would guess it will be safe to use after 2030–2035, except if you don't care about internet visitors and are targeting an intranet of a company where you control the browsers and their versions. Of course, lazy loading impacts …  |
| | I exclusively use Linux on my personal PCs, currently the Ubuntu distribution. I switched from Windows between 2010 and 2012. Before that, I used Linux on a different PC for several years, followed by a period of dual booting. Thanks to WINE, I have yet to encounter software I cannot … |
 | we all love Danmark , but why have your nick on it ?  |
| | I have a detached house in the overpopulated city where I live. I also own a small detached house near the beach, which I want to sell so I can buy something smaller on an island with no tourists (I dream). I pay taxes on these properties every year, along …  |
| | There are some apps that claim to detect AI Generated content and have paid APIs (e.g. GPTZero , Originality) , I haven't use them except of testing , I didn't had any good reason and furthermore the landscape is changing so fast that all the statistical patterns they might detect … |
| | I know that BlueSky is a new toy , that we don't know how much will last in its current state. But my question is beyond BlueSky , it is in all emerging media. For example in BlueSky programming talk is vibrant with a whimsy touch but not with harassment … |
| | "Is DaniWeb under a grand attack or just suffering from many small cuts with no purpose?" I’ve written about this before. Many AI-driven accounts here post once, share a brief sentence, and disappear without any ads or clear purpose, only to return to obscurity. I’ve been trying to understand their … |
| | It doesn't really play great role in what physical Android device you check your app because you have already checked it in several virtual devices in Android Studio / Tools / Device Manager (I am sure other IDEs have similar functionality) |
| | Hello ianhaneybs, It is time to start a bit of debugging , you need to inspect what the variable $currentpage really holds. e.g. 1 <?php $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; var_dump($currentpage); exit; ?> But a better choice would be to start logging e.g. 2 <?php $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; error_log("\n"."currentpage:".$currentpage,3,"error_log"); ... ?> But … |
 | A "Passionate Programmer" considering no code or low code options too. **That is gold**. Before A.I. get us nonsense programmers will  |
| | Recently I started to rewrite the core of a web app in Java (not including the Admin part). I have discussed ideas with colleagues and friends and one thing that seemed to be an agreement was that it is time to stop keeping the same image in two formats jpg … |
 | One more take on your question "My question (and I do have one) is, how difficult is it for the web site to customize the html for the target device?" Apparently a lot. As a user / visitor I am constantly annoyed by the "mobile first" approach in web design. …  |
 | Its hard in a Python script to "create too many connections" to a DB. You don't have many concurrent clients , you don't have web requests , is this a server of some kind ? . From your line " Specifically it was choking on a scanning algorithm." I thought … |
 | Probably in near future you could through a standalone code file to an LLM and correct the errors for you , or even perform optimizations, already some LLMs are pretty good at that (not perfect, witch means you can't just copy / paste) but this is not what programmers really …  |
 | I understand that a chatbot is more friendly to use than Google, but the same functionality is in 1000 places in Python code on Internet. It would be easier to Google it and use the code. Do you believe that using a chatbot saved you time for this ? |

| | I have seen hundreds of eShops (with many admins in each) on my company's platform , fail to set proper meta tags in the CMS and never bother to do so for individual products or entire catalogs. The strange thing is that they expect —and some even live—their businesses through … |
| | I really can't understand the claim that it "smarter than 90% of population". I don't have access to o1 but from what I have seen sometimes it counts correctly the r's in strawberries , is this that our benchmark ? and if so , - why ? and do we … |
 | My company also has its own "firewall middle tier" call it WAF if you like. We build it many years ago when cloudflare wasn't an option , and it still requires maintenance, but the up side is that it is highly customized and we really know what is happening, and … |
 | Many can write code , even an LLM can , but to understand the needs of each project , choose the right architecture and built an app to meet all the needs isn't something that anyone can do. My advice would be "build your brand before freelancing", witch means create … |
| | One thing that I have learned , is to acknowledge my fears in order to see if I can do anything about them. I would love to read yours fears about this A.I. revolution. I have chosen to participate in this weave with what ever resources my small company has … |
| | This is a really broad topic. Although PWA doesn't seem to catch up , I write client side web apps more than 14 years now because it doesn't make any sense to me why you should reload the whole page if what you only want to change is the main … |
| | Dani , yes I also believe that you are responsible for the decline of DaniWeb .... BUUUT that was many years ago. We all foreseen the decline of "forums" back in early 2010's , there were many alternatives of what to do , and I strongly believe that you choose … |
| | LMs are great , but if you don't know how to ask the right questions , break your thoughts in manageable pieces they can't do it for you. Even when you do , you must have a level of experience to distinguish a wrong or crappy response from a legitimate … |
| | I watched both grow , from their early beginnings , because our current servers are on CentOS and of course I am not happy with where CentOS has gone. Because the CentOS lesson , I have been really caution and I am a little bit too worried from witch one … |
| | I don't get it. It is different answering a thread to quote an answer that you got from an LLM and it is completely different to post it as your own. I don't understand why people do that ? Don't they understand that it is obvious what they did ? … |
| | I don't love Reddit , in fact before Google started to slap it on my face few months ago , I had many years to been there for a simple reason· I didn't liked their format nor their way of "building" a programmers community. Now everything I search in Google … |
