Re: This is me venting 20 Hours 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 18 Hours 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: What's the most unexpected hobby or interest you have outside of coding? 21 Hours Ago by jkon Growing up in the 80's in an environment where nerds where literally punished I developed lots of skills to sugarcoat the fact that I had a computer , I was coding and I liked math. Most of them were various martial arts. Now in my late 40's I still enjoy physical activities , but more like running or swimming when my lateral epicondylitis let me … Re: What's your favorite productivity hack outside of coding? 3 Hours Ago by Reverend Jim Odd that something so basic and obvious needs to be named. Of course, "Pomodoro Technique" is a lot shorter than "go hide in the server room so my boss won't keep interrupting me so I can get some work done" technique. At least that's what I used to call it.

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: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 6 Days 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.

The related pathways, vitamins, minerals, and 20 amino acids, associated with each gene. I wish they wouldn't gatekeep such great technologies for people to have a full mapping. E.g., Celiac disease, if you don't have the genes HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8, there's a 99% chance you don't have celiac. … Re: This is me venting 4 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 … What's the most unexpected hobby or interest you have outside of coding? 4 Days Ago by Dani I asked ChatGPT for some interesting conversation starters and it suggested this. However, the more I think about it, the less I can come up with something! I enjoy walks on nature trails, but hiking is *huge* amongst techies in the Bay Area. My husband plays DDR regularly for exercise, but that has a cult following amongst nerdy people. He enjoys … Re: Video is not the main content of the page 3 Days Ago by Dani You have the itemtype set to a VideoObject but, as you point out, only sometimes is there actually an .mp4 file. The rest of the time, it's a static image such as a png, jpg, or jpeg. Google probably doesn't trust your meta tags since they are inaccurate half the time.

Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 2 Days Ago by jprog1000 Got it. Thank you so much! Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 2 Days Ago by vortex_1 In my opinion, implementing a feature in a bouncing balls simulation where a new ball is created when two balls collide can add an interesting and dynamic element to the simulation. This feature can introduce a sense of complexity and unpredictability, making the simulation more engaging and challenging for users. It could also provide an … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Day Ago by jprog1000 Great reply, vortex! Agree with all your points. Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Day Ago by Digital_39 Hi, Its helpful for me. I got my answer. Re: This is me venting 4 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: What's the most unexpected hobby or interest you have outside of coding? 4 Days Ago by Reverend Jim My wife and I consume vast quantities of e-books. Mostly mysteries. But I used to be big into sci-fi. As a teen I loved the (at that time) biggies like Asimov, Heinlein (who has lost his shine the more I learn about him), Blish, Clarke, Herbert, Niven, Ellison, etc. A book I reread every few years is The Flying Sorcerers. It is both a parody/comedy… Re: Video is not the main content of the page 4 Days Ago by Read a Book BUMP. Anyone can help with this issue ? :/ Re: Video is not the main content of the page 4 Days Ago by Dani I’ll take a look at this tomorrow. I’m currently in bed :) Re: What's the most unexpected hobby or interest you have outside of coding? 1 Day Ago by pritaeas Probably the most unexpected (for a die-hard old-fashioned technical programmer) would be Reiki. I feel like since I've been doing this, my master has introduced me into so many things that appear to have been missing from my life. So much is falling into place now, and I have a very different (and better) view of my life now. Re: Improve HAVING BY performance 1 Week Ago by toneewa I'm a little late to the party, however, I want to share my experience learning MySQL in the past day. I setup a server, a database, and wrote a C++ program to connect to it. It measures the times for 3 SELECTs. The whole product list, using HAVING, and WHERE. I also tested reversing the orders. Query execution time: 0.0002336 seconds … Using Natural Language to Query SQL Databases with Python LangChain Module 1 Week Ago by usmanmalik57 The advent of large language models (LLM) has replaced complex scripts with natural language for automating various tasks. You can now use LLM to interact with your databases using natural language, which makes life easier for people who do not have sufficient SQL knowledge. In this article, you will learn how to retrieve information from SQL … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Week Ago by toneewa I cleaned up the code some more. Removed some things that were not being used. I ran into a couple problems which caused the freeze you mentioned. It was memory heap space and array allocating. E.g., if x or y becomes negative, and also infinite recursion. I added a x/y coordinate display for a ball, and tinkered with the placement of the … Paris Olympics Chatbot- Get Ticket Information Using Chat-GPT and LangChain 3 Weeks Ago by usmanmalik57 I was searching for Paris Olympics ticket prices for tennis games recently. The official website directs you to a [PDF document](https://tickets.paris2024.org/obj/media/FR-Paris2024/ticket-prices.pdf) containing ticket prices and venues for all the games. However, I found the PDF document to be very hard to navigate. To make things easier, I … Paris Olympics Ticket Information Chatbot with Memory Using LangChain 3 Weeks Ago by usmanmalik57 In my previous article, I explained how I developed a simple chatbot using LangChain and Chat-GPT that can answer queries related to Paris Olympics ticket prices. However, one major drawback with that chatbot is that it can only generate a single response based on user queries. It can not answer follow-up questions. In short, the chatbot has no … Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Week Ago by jprog1000 Hello, I have a program which creates multiple balls and bounces them off when they collide. This works fine. import java.awt.Rectangle; public class Ball{ private int x = 0; private int y = 0; private int radius; private int panelwidth = 500; private int panelheight = 500… Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide 1 Week Ago by toneewa Some minor syntax fixes. Some things to consider are the collision and distance of drawing the next ball. A ball inside a ball's radius will cause numerous collisions. Even the starting ball locations can be already causing collisions. I added a collision counter display. Increased the maximum balls to make to 50. The timer delay can also impact …
