I am not on my dev machine. Also, you can break on that statement to see what it is doing.

What if some variable is not what you assumed it to be? You have an excellent dev system yet I find many ignore it and ask for the code.

Try the Query Builder next. https://www.google.com/search?&q=visual+studio+query+builder

It's your database so you get to build the query as no one here has your database to test against.

That's a dead end as what's best for you may be terrible for others. Try LMS from a few companies and find your best.

Here's what most discover. Training institutions that claim to be the best are frankly lying to you. You should avoid those. In the USA and other places you can check out companies with Yelp or such. Do that!

Please supply more detail than "code is not working correctly." Since you are, from what I can see using Visual Studio you can set break points to examine variables and more to narrow it down.

Again, you need to var_dump and log when it fails. Since you know what the input is at the time of failure you can make it fail on demand.
Here's a found with google search how to write those variables to the log so you can see what you are sending to the query. I can't write the code for you about logging. I also can't guess what the variables are at the time of the failure. You get to do the work. Read https://www.justinsilver.com/technology/writing-to-the-php-error_log-with-var_dump-and-print_r/

var_dump(); alone would do nothing. It's one of your tools to inspect variables so you can check for syntax and content just before your query.

I can't do the dumps for you. You must write the code to dump and then inspect the query for issues.

As to securing your passwords I shared the prior discussions about storing passwords. There are many fine articles about that topic so here's one on Daniweb. I can't guess if it's going to work for you but the basic idea is you never store a password. You store the result of a one-way encyption that is salted. And if you are new to encryption and don't know what salting is, well, time to google that for priors. There are plenty of priors here.

https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/497553/encrypted-password-login

I think this is a good thing it failed. Why? From the code it looks like the password is stored in the database in the clear. This is no longer and acceptable practice.

Well discussed at www.google.com/search?&q=never+store+passwords+in+a+database

With that out of the way, use your debugging skills to track down what the variables are at the time of failure.
Nod to https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_var_var_dump.asp

Sorry about that. In changing the topic type the code vanishes. Even so, you can add it again. Also you can add more detail about what you think is wrong. Finally I single step my code to see if it is doing what I thought it should do. You can single step too.

If you google "My PC overheats" you find there are many causes. What you've told so far does not help to narrow it down. Use google for new until you have more to tell.

That's not a simple question but for me I feel that you should test what driver works for you. You do have choices as noted at https://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/ and many other sites.

The is it worth it question could be about the PC but a 300 dollar PC is just that. If one had the time then comparing 300 dollar PCs would be a full time job. Our office pretty much sticks to the core i7, 1050ti, SSD, 16GB RAM as the base model for heavy users and the lesser i5, SSD, 8GB RAM for the office work.

Blender does use the K620 CUDA cores so that's some good news.

Since my wife is the one using Blender and not on Fedora I can't offer much there. You can google up about folk that have blender issues so it's clear to me that it does work.

Some of my most amazing experiences were because of companies outsourcing. You name it, travelled the world, met a lot of nice people in many countries and first hand saw the impact of conterfeit components and more.

These companies from what I could have paid the same at the end of the day where it was done in house or out sourced. Remember that I only was called in on the failures and problems. Maybe there's a lot of success stories out there but from what I saw, no real savings.

This sounds like you are looking for tutorials. Here's how I would find these today:
https://www.google.com/search?&q=javascript+logical+operators+tutorial

Cisco commercial products still require staff or support to configure if you don't do this yourself. As you didn't reveal what you have now as well as who configured it the discussion is hard to impossible to start unless I write "get back to who installed and setup what you have now."

Seems like this happens a lot. Some call it a bug but browsers do cache content so yes, you'll have to refresh on your PC.
Others will see new content when the cache expires.

Check out your Page Cache setting. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-cache-expiration-time/

You should not set this too low. Otherwise you can run into issues with your hosting. They may charge you for higher use.

Once I skip over the cloud players I pretty much land on the same players I see others use at https://www.tomsguide.com/round-up/best-android-music-player

Here I'm OK with Amazon's own player but hey, I'm not a collector and it has enough for me.

PS. Also, Hi! Good to see you are still around.

As c++ doesn't have a GUI system I'd be guessing if this was in Visual Studio C++ or something else.

Even so, you would implement your code to that button's handler to do what you wrote above.

This would make a fine discussion today for lunch but with COVID-19 that won't be happening soon.

As I know a lot of software developers I will write they are a varied lot. The ones that work for others in the game industry that I know didn't hit the jackpot but put in long hours doing what to some would be grueling work.

Now if you want to develop your own game, go for it. Some make coin with skins and such. I can't possibly write all that is possible in the software and game industry but 99.9% of your success is you. If you can invest the time, develop your skill and if you want your own game, then you might get by.

I don't want to discourage you but there are articles about mobile app developers and how much they make. At first it was like the first folk to the gold mines but now, not so much. But hey, come up with something that folk like and you've hit a mother load.

I think your family is great in trying to help you find your way. Eventually they won't be there to provide whatever they provide so be sure you can make it somehow. If you want to pursue a software career, don't fixate on just games. The industry is much larger than that.

The .zip files are on page one of this discussion at the end of the tutorial and later in RJ's later replies.

Adisharma,

That's a little too easy today to find. I used https://www.google.com/search?&q=online+tutorial+of+tensorflow

There are a lot of folk that didn't know you can search for such. So you guide them to search engines so they can be "not so new."

Let's forget code for a moment. Where is your algorithm? What are the steps you thought through before you coded?

Also, there are priors to consider: https://www.google.com/search?q=Syllable+Counting+in+java+site:www.daniweb.com

I googled it. Seems to be a simple thing to uncover.

WAEC is not a word. It's an Acronym.

Still zero at 22 hours ago. Can't mark this solved yet.

Sorry no. At the top right is my icon as if I'm logged in. The only repeatable action sequence is:

1. Open browser to https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest
2. Click on an interesting discussion.
3. Craft reply.
4. Click Post reply.
   Then the Post Reply dims and game over.

To get out I copy out my content, tap F5 and it then works.

Don't worry too much about this for my sake. I report it since new users may not be as adept.

Sorry Dani. I see no error message and since I can't post images here I'll put something up on a YouTube later.

That one works but a dozen others no longer work. Something's up or down.

Did you double click the submit button?

I didn't. Now if the mouse button is getting old, well that could happen but it was not intentional.

Trying another image.

Will keep the time information as best I can the next time but it's not very repeatable. I know these kind of bugs are the hardest to track down so with that I'll write I understand that.

Wishing you the best as always.

Testing again.

Not working here. There's the file and when I hover over it says:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html

That message sits over half of the Remove file link.

Your question isn't clear. Are you talking about people to join your project, or (google this) "GitHub is now free for teams" as a place for the code repository, or something else entirely?

Just now when I crafted an answer then clicked Post Reply the button dimmed and it's just sitting there. Gave it a few minutes but there it sits.

While I've found I can copy out what I wrote, tap F5 then try again it's not something others may bother with.

How can I help narrow down what this annoying doesn't happen often is?

The reply was to https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/523158/mastermind-game-in-java but I doubt it has to do with that thread. My only thought here is it's almost always when I've just opened the browser (Opera, Firefox and Chrome) to https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest , clicked on a thread then attempted a reply.

Let's see if I can get the image in a reply here.
Nope. Still dead.

https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest shows me this a duplicate of my recent post.

Ouch. The ability to share images looks broken too!

https://www.daniweb.com/members/1186328/lacy-3 shows 0 contributions but you click through and they have made some posts.

The no risk method starts with full backups. I'm running into more folk that want to skip this step.

On top of that you almost verify you are about ready to lose "my most important data" since those without any backups are the ones the have such fear. Time to get those backups done so you don't lose what you can't lose.

Finally I want to add that upgrading any OS in place carries a risk even if everything should be fine. All it takes is a random power outage at the wrong moment and blammo. It's gone.

Much more detail is required here. Is this some text or GUI system in use? What code do you have so far?

That's not very good code there. No comments, variables that are poorly named so when the author wrote this, they and God knows what they intended. Later, only God knows.

While someone may trace it out the lack of comments and a few paragraphs about what it should do should get this a failing grade if submitted to any professor I know.

Are there any other dragchutes on the build? Such as USB and HDDs attached?

Remember there are prior complaints here. https://www.google.com/search?&q=virtualbox+slow+on+"ryzen+7"

It appears that you are not alone as I read https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=93748

I'm seeing similar reproducible very laggy perf with Win10 guests on VB 6.1.0 hosts, with Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. All's good on older CPUs.

Show your work so far (read the Community Rules at https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules )

Also if I were to write this, I might not use the scanner class. The specs for apps I've written never demand that specific classes be used. That's up to the author or system designer. Is this homework?

Not anything I use but hey, some thoughts.

1. Use the script Luke! Read https://m8software.com/clipboards/spartan/newinversions/0scriptref.htm
2. Use the sandbox Kitten! I'm reading from your link where it notes the Sandbox:

To make troubleshooting easier a 'Sandbox' is provided.
This makes it easier to find out exactly what is interfering

Same answer:
From https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules

Do provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments

With that out of the way, keep the question(s) to what you need help with. That is, that line of code that fails so we can narrow it down to that one thing that stopped you.

Try:

1. Get into the BIOS (varies with each make and models) and load defaults, Save, Exit and reboot.
2. Be sure there are no CD/DVDs in the ODD (optical disc drive) as well as unplugging all USB devices, SD cards, etc.
3. I shouldn't have to write this but stop fixing it when it starts to work.
4. Look at your BIOS for boot devices. Set the HDD or SSD to the first boot drive.

It appears you limited your choices to PCs from Apple and others.

Ever use a Rasberry Pi system?

That line 8 looks to be, well, you tell me.

Maybe, just maybe it's time for a clean install. But what I find at times is the user repeats what they did to cause the issue (if it was user induced.)

Our oldest laptop in the office fleet is about 2008, an old Core2Duo fit with 3GB RAM, SSD and well, who said it was all that great? Anyhow it has a clean install of W10 and when an office worker uses it (don't talk to me about COVID-19 as the office shut down in 2020 and that's another story) but here we are and the users often say it's faster than what they have at home. Most likely it's because of the clean install and SSD.

We also make sure we use a nice DNS. Many IT staffers overlook this free optimization.

Good hunting on this one!

As to your new question of how Chrome encrypts you could dig into the documentation and if that's not enough find the source code to dig into. I consider your top post answered as from what I know, it's not that simple anymore because you don't want to have some rogue app copy out all your saved passwords.

Is this valid today? When I want a password from Chrome it wants yet another password to see these passwords. So what you have shared here looks dated, maybe obselete and broken.

As to other clients, the answer is no and eventually you find yourself fixing other clients.

I'm sharing what I've found to be issues and did not duplicate what you can find on the web about "emails stuck in the outbox" for this email app. That list is far too long for me to type in here so I didn't. As you are a web developer you know how to research so I'll skip sharing a search URL about that.

-> Another answer to why just this PC is that few PCs are duplicates of one another. Users are free to tweak and more. The email service could have hit some limits on sending that after some time, a reboot the limit is removed and the emails go out. You can't imagine the conversations you hear about folk that want to send hundreds of emails a day on Outlook.com or such.

I take it you completed why I noted so far so it's off to research what others have found as well. The one thing you discover with these issues is it's never the same thing over and over.

The IT comment is just that. You manage more than the usual so you are the pro here.

Beyond DNS and such. Remember your service may be unreliable. I can't test for that and then we have other issues where folk install Security Suites, set the security to maximum or we fine the suite interferes with normal operations.

in parting be sure the date and time is correct on the PC, routers and such.

Clues are slim here but try changing to a public DNS, the DNS provided by the service mentioned as well as entering the IP address of the mail server rather than its name. Keep in mind that as you manage over a dozen PCs for an office the words and terms I used here should be familiar. i.e. you are an IT pro.
