This is me venting 6 Days Ago by Dani This is definitely not a targeted attack at *anyone*. Please take it just as me having a bad day and venting. I'm kinda tired of people constantly telling me that I'm the reason that DaniWeb traffic has tanked over the years. And if only I had done this differently. Or done that differently. Or listened to members more about this. Or listened to… Re: This is me venting 6 Days Ago by Reverend Jim It's hard for me to imagine that all of the pleasure I've gotten out of Daniweb, the challenges, the insights, the friendships since I joined in 2010, are all dependent on the largesse of just one very talented person. I, for one, appreciate all you have done, particularly considering your current health issues. If you feel unappreciated then … Re: This is me venting 5 Days Ago by Reverend Jim Also, in non-computing over the years I have heard comments like "if only I hadn't stopped for coffee I would have missed that accident, or several other variations. The thing is you never know what would have happened if you had made different decisions. Certainly making a different decision may have resulted in things being better. Or they … Re: This is me venting 2 Days Ago by jkon 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 the wrong one. I will not repeat what you did or what you could be done … Re: This is me venting 2 Days Ago by Dani > what was missing was a programming hub of news / forum / interviews I have always been a strong proponent of having editorial (news, tutorials, interviews, etc.) complement the user-generated forum discussions. In the past, well over 50% of our gross revenue from advertising went straight into paying for staff writers. IMHO we used to have … Re: How long does it take to develop a game 2 Days Ago by kishanrg Developing a game can vary greatly in terms of time depending on several factors such as the complexity of the game, the size of the development team, and the resources available. However, on average, it can take anywhere from six months to several years to develop a game from start to finish. Simple mobile games with basic mechanics might take … Re: What are you watching on TV? 3 Weeks Ago by Dani pritaeas, what did you think of 3%? I saw it a couple of years ago. Sticking with the Sci-fi genre, although a bit more lighthearted, my husband and I are currently watching Resident Alien. Mariadb10.11.6 Glarea single failed node startup stuck failure 2 Weeks Ago by mx_983 Basic background information Mariadb Ver 15.1 District 10.11.6 MariaDB Glarea cluster, one with three nodes: Node1:192.168.18.78 Node2: 192.168.18.79 Node3: 192.168.18.80 Among them, Node1 node was restarted after a power outage of 1 hour, and after executing the system ctl start mariadb, it was stuck for a long time (running for 6 hours) … 'Prepare for the Earliest Possible AGI Deployment Scenario' 1 Week Ago by Johannes C. **Despite the uncertain timeline for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) becoming a reality, we need to assure responsible and ethical development today – says Jen Rosiere Reynolds.** ![header-agi-talks1.png](https://static.daniweb.com/attachments/4/5595ff2ec36fde155011d21ea73dcd78.png) As part of our new **AGI Talks**, experts from … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Week Ago by Biiim Hi David, > More problems. I incorporated the coding Biiim provided. Before any changes, after submission, would display the correct (yellow) screen. After code changed, not only will still not send email but screen turns blank white. URL provider, IONOS, told me that the Host is smtp.ionos.com and the Username and password are for an email… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 4 Weeks Ago by Biiim In your code where you write `mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);` if you want to get error messages or "do something if it fails" you need to alter it a bit to something like: if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){ //if successful do something }else{ //if error do something else } //or… Re: Do you participate in any other communities? 3 Weeks Ago by Dani I was talking to Chris (the DiC founder/owner) a little bit before he decided to shut it down. He was saying he's been so busy with his other businesses that he spent maybe 5 minutes on it over the past 5 years, so he lost interest, and it wasn't paying its server costs. At least in the case of DaniWeb, it *also* isn't even coming close to … Re: Improve HAVING BY performance 2 Weeks Ago by Biiim > I don't have experience with MariaDB, but in MySQL, something like that will work as long as I do SELECT sum(points) AS total FROM ... HAVING total > 10. Is that what you were getting at? Kind of, MariaDB is a fork of MySQL from around 2009 or something like that, MySQL 5.* and the creator continued developing MariaDB and Oracle took … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Week Ago by Dani … oh, sorry, missed the bit about you still needing clarifications. Feel feee to ask :) I’ll now unmark this topic as solved. /facepalm Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Week Ago by toneewa Yes, this is true. Overlapping ball spawns can do that causing a chain reaction. Something like that could be done. How you handle the spawning of the new ball is what I played with a bit before. You will see better collision detection changing to: g.fillOval(ball.getX(), ball.getY(), 1 * ball.getRadius(), 1 * ball.getRadius()); Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: What are you watching on TV? 3 Weeks Ago by pritaeas I liked the concept, but some choices in the movie I remember I thought were strange. However, this is a while back, so please don't ask specifics. Resident Alien started funny, but didn't grab my attention. Latest I quite liked was "Vis-a-vis" (Spanish). Re: What are you watching on TV? 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim We watched Resident Alien. Liked season 1 but it kind of petered out after that. I have not heard of 3%. What is it about and who is in it? I can't find it on IMDB. We just finished Apples Never Fall, and 3 Body Problem is in the queue. Re: What are you watching on TV? 3 Weeks Ago by pritaeas Doesn't the link I posted open? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4922804/ This is the tagline on IMDB: "A post-apocalyptic thriller set in near-future Brazil, where a select few are allowed to join a privileged society after undergoing an intense and competitive process." It is a Brasilian production, so I doubt I can mention anyone you… Re: What are you watching on TV? 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Doesn't the link I posted open? My mistake. I just scrolled back to the last couple of posts, not far enough to see the link. Dani - if you like Resident Alien I suggest you watch the movie, [Tucker and Dale vs Evil](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/). Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by Dani Currently the thing I hate most about TV shows is how much time elapses between seasons. I feel like I've been waiting for season 2 of Severance on AppleTV for *forever*! (It's been over 2 years already since season 1 debuted.) Speaking of that, is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game? I can't imagine that Netflix wouldn’t invest … Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Fer sher. You pretty much have to watch the previous season again before you start the next one. I'm still waiting for season 2 of The Old Man (Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow). At my age sometimes I lose the thread if two weeks goes by between episodes. Sometimes I'll wait until the end of a season before I watch any of it. I especially hate it when a … Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by pritaeas > is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game Yes, already announced, available soon. Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by Dani That's my point, though. Gone are the days when a show would break for a summer and the next season would start up again in the fall. Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Gone are the days That's pretty much the case for everything. I remember when TV sucked all through summer vacation and I couldn't wait for the end of September for the new seasons to start. Of course it was bittersweet because September also meant back to school. I'll mention a few more things that may have been mentioned before but I … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When I got it back they had replaced both the motherboard and the power supply and I checked in the store to verify there were no power issues. I suspect you are correct about them not reconnecting the touchpad as that was not working in Linux either. As for GPT vs NTFS, I have never formatted to anything but NTFS, and when I originally got the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: Things I hate about TV shows 3 Weeks Ago by KomalBhatt You know, there are few things more frustrating than getting interested in a TV show only to find it falling short of expectations. From the overly predictable plotlines to the underdeveloped characters, there's a huge list. But what really get irritated by is when the dialogue feels forced, like the writers are trying too hard to be clever or …
