We have a computer desk with a crank for height adjustment. Had it for close to a decade.

Funny you should ask. My answer is: Tesla.

Here's the short version: Car makers DO NOT sell to consumers. They sell to dealers. As such they don't hear what we want. Tesla on the other hand only gets sales if they make what we want.

Full disclosure: Bought a Tesla and don't ever want to shop/buy at a dealer ever again.

I see decade old discussions about this but the short version is that the other items don't get loaded either.
See https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.html and there are a total of 4 modules.

Why it does in the idlex shell is a bit of a mystery.

Again, until you move to a current Visual Basic we have to lean on prior discussions.

1. Google "loadpicture vb6" and plenty of examples that work.
2. To draw on that picture, example at https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?893506-Draw-on-StdPicture-objects
3. There will be limitations such as the Bitmap type pictures only.
4. There are few of us with access to VB6. While I wrote a lot of code back then, I no longer have the VB6 environment up and running.

While I can't guess the intended use, read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55909731/how-can-an-hdc-bitmap-be-copied-to-a-3-dimensional-array-quickly on how to go from an HDC to arrays.

From memory (pun unintended) I think you should think about using BitBlt. Read https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?271014-VB-6-BitBlt

TBT, while I have a spiffy new W11 laptop I'm still migrating so I haven't seen this issue.
But I won't give you nothing. (?)

See https://i.imgur.com/1N625p5.png and look at the bottom right about "When to raise the interface". Try the other setting?

Your profile notes you are in Bashkortostan Republic, Russia. Is there a city named Boston in Russia?

17+ Odoo developer jobs in the United States area

I looked at a popular job site to see how job listings there were. Given this particularly poor showing my answer is that you should only consider this if you have a job offer.

To this and your other question, Yes. But I have to ask, if you want to blog why not go with WordPress or one of the others?

If we hadn't won the war for independence, we would have been using...

My first look would be https://www.google.com/search?&q=example+blockchain+in+python

Checking that out finds ready to use examples in about 60 lines of code.

HOWEVER I would never do that because blockchain code should be more efficient as to energy use and more.
https://www.efinancialcareers.com/news/2023/06/which-programming-language-uses-the-most-energy writes:

The results showed that Python, despite its popularity was a massive energy hog using 45 times as much energy (4390 joules) as C++ (77 joules) to execute its programs.

So I wouldn't do this.

I found such to be loved by those that micro-manage. It can and has resulted in lower productivity because you spend time tracking time rather than working on the projects.

Look at this way. You get paid by the hour so if this makes the job take longer you get paid more. But don't tell the boss that!

Wishing you the best.

Maybe the tag system changed but in the past I could create a new tag if there wasn't one. And no bother at all.

Why the Windows-7 tag?

Also, why limit yourself here? Other algorithms such as dynamic programming or heuristic approaches may be more appropriate for achieving the desired outcomes.

Here's what Whatsapp has to say about your Whatsapp Data:

Can’t restore my data
Unfortunately, we aren't able to help you restore your chats, documents, media files, backups, or call history. In most cases, the chat history and media files can only be found on your phone or the recipient's phone.
Note: We can't delete your messages for you as we don't store messages on our servers once they're delivered.

Seems too easy an answer. Don't overload the data in the mobile app.

It's been decades since I had to optimize such but hey, let's go!

1. I see Sin() and Cos() in lines 7 and 8. Since we are dealing with graphics on a small screen (up to say 8K?) we could use a look up table. We don't have to be in floating point here since the screen is well inside 16 bit math.
2. From what I recall, DrawLine() in line 21 uses VB6's Single data type so you may be incurring more overhead with CLng. Try CSng() instead.

I posit that new web dev trends might not land you a job.

Imagine a company that has a working web site and the new prospective employee wants to tear it all down, build it back up when all they want is someone to change some text and pictures etc.

But I would be adding AI/ML tools and more to my tools/trends skills.

Since I’ve never seen app descriptions in the Play Store that promote themselves by telling they use high-grade encryption and reliable SSL, I’d say it’s not considered a USP (Unique Selling Point).

So why should it be important for the average app to reach the average user?

Please expand on this. If you put up a form and someone writes a bot to send you garbage, that's not a hack job and not a hacked web page.

You may have to add some other verification to stop the garbage delivery.

However I have no way to help you with this. If it continues to fail, put in a ticket at Adobe. You paid for this so get your money's worth.

Before we start let's know the following.

This is why viewing memory is a dead end today. Maybe you didn't know this.

Please tell more about your project and why you need this.

I worked in another field for decades. We called it Embedded Software. Such is all around us. Do you know this area?

Looked at the site and don't see any compelling reason to call this company.

It's time to update the company and website. For example, are you embracing AI/ML/Generative tools? I know in my circles we're seeing 10X productivity gains and less need to outsource.

Example 1: We need a regular expression and can't quite nail it. Used a generative AI and done.
Example 2: We needed a SQL query and again, couldn't quite nail it without resorting to longer coding methods. Again, used a generative AI and done.

Result? We're not hiring staff or outsourcing.

A nod to old discussion like https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?407484-Floor()-amp-Power()-Function-Not-In-VB-6-0

Interesting site. I made many trips overseas to find out why the company products were experiencing early failures. Nearly all the hardware failures were tracked back to Counterfeit electronic components.

Does your company warrant the components and pay for the damage caused?

This has been accomplished thousands of times but it's more than 34 lines long so let's find a current code source for 2023.
Read Android-Battery-Alarm
Full source, ready for you to examine and modify.

@b
I'll be spread a little thin but each AI tends to be better or worse at certain things. GPT can do a good job at coding but for those that expect it to be 100% correct, well, humans are not 100% either. For more current web content you look to BARD and Bing's AIs.

It's going to be interesting when these AI's start using web content that is itself AI generated. Time to que up a Rick and Morty episode about Asimov Cascade?

Worthy of mention since we use it for stock image generation is Midjourney.

Add some detail about those tools. Here I use various editors for HTML. What you use isn't clear so for me I can't see why this is an issue as I could edit the code as I wish.

Again, you ask something I'd expect you to write a tutorial on.

What's your goal here with short questions that you know the answers to?

For me it's a solid no. If you spam me, I mark as spam and never see your junk again.

In your private messages you save to look at other than the top page but again I don't see a visual issue.

Take a moment to grab a screenshot of the issue so I can tell what you are seeing.

This sounds like you want others to write the entire app. I rarely see that here. Instead you should share the code section that's not working along with why you think it fails and then ask for help on that function.

If you need an app written entirely then I'd put it out for hire on UPWORK or similar.

Again you are asking a question which you should instead be writing at length about. I've seen your company website and it's in your wheelhouse.

I will note that there are CLASSIC development cycles and then there are others. I've been on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOD-STD-2167 and I've done SPIKE developments as well as CLASSIC WATERFALL. And a few others.

What I've learned over the years is there is no ideal or perfect "stages of app development."

It's been quite entertaining to watch people and companies latch onto development ideas and not let go. Today you're seeing AI+ML turn old development ideas into mincemeat.

Can you start with a couple so I can tell what you are after?

Also, I see you are in the business of either consulting or web development so you should have a few to lead this discussion with.

You'll want to read the code, and if you are trying to trace what it does, maybe alter the code to add debug statements to each function and method. I'd add https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_console_log.asp so I can see in the console those debug outputs.

Sorry no. Every time this happened it turned out to be something different on how to fix. But did you try the old Make Clean? I'm not on my PC with Android Studio for now (on travel) but it's the one thing that helped more than once. Beyond that it was a bug in my code I didn't find till a day of inspection.

While I don't call them friends, I know people in the crypto business. They sell mining equipment. As I have a background in electronics and more, it's an interesting business.

But do they not hold or accept any crypto coin. I'll not bite my tongue here and write that successful drug dealers don't use their own product.

While mining equipment sales have cooled, it reminds me of the Gold Rush days. The real money was in mining equipment and the "entertainment" that would relieve the miners of their profits.

Wait a minute. You have a company that does such work. Why not tell us about your Great Portfolio and how you did it?

I'm unsure what you want here. If you are having an issue with your code, you'll have to post the section of troublesome code along with what you think is amiss.

If you want someone to write your app, then be clear that's what you want.

I find that Microsoft provided drivers can be hit or miss. Sometimes it fixed something, other times it breaks something.

Unless you own a Microsoft PC such as the Surface, my view is that you go get drivers from the maker and disable Windows Driver Updates. Here's one method:
Disable automatic driver install on Windows 10
Open Settings.
Click on System.
Click on About.
Under the “Related settings” section, click the System protection option.
Click the Hardware tab.
Click the “Device Installation Settings” button.
Select the “No (your device might not work as expected)” option.

As to fixing the bluetooth issue, IF the hardware is good, go to the maker's site, get and install the driver for your hardware after disabling Windows Driver Updates.

Remember that hardware does fail. It can fail unexpectedly and folk might think it's a Windows issue but it wasn't. How I figure this out is the above procedure where I disable driver updates then install the driver myself. If Bluetooth still fails I plug in another Bluetooth adapter along with its drivers then re-test.

For now, don't fret about robots.txt. It's a request, not mandated. From https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Robots.txt

The purpose and meaning behind the creation of ROBOTS.TXT file dates back to the early 1990s, when the then-new World Wide Web was quickly defining itself as the killer application that would change forever how users would interact with the growing internet. Where previous information networks utilizing internet connections such as GOPHER and WAIS were text-based and relatively low-bandwidth, the combination of text, graphics and even sounds on webpages meant that resources were stretched to the limit. It was possible, no joke, to crash a machine with a Netscape/Mozilla web browser, as it opened multiple connections to web servers and downloaded all their items - the optimizations and advantages that 20 years of innovation have brought to web serving were simply not there. As crawlers/spiders/search engines came into use, the potential to overwhelm a site was great. Thus, Martijn Koster is credited with the Robot Exclusion Protocol, also known simply as the ROBOTS.TXT file.

On a team long ago we skipped making an app for the GPS tracking system. The database was at the server as users are rarely adept at backups and more. But now that I've thought about it more we did push notifications.

A native app would have cost more and delivered little value.

PS. Added with edit. The OP has yet to enter these discussions, at least not on TR.

Seems you asked elsewhere. Example: https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/types-of-platforms-for-mobile-app-development/

Can you share what you use now?

No. We use ChatGPT to get real work done. Another group is using AI Art.

Also no to ChatGPT sprung up overnight. That effort has been in the works for decades.

I won't be installing and testing till next month for self hosted AI. Here's a few more opensource alternatives: redpyjama, openassistant, Pythia. Granted they are not GPT4 but they hold their own vs gpt3.5 in most benchmarks.
And they run on your PC, even on a raspberry pi (granted not very fast).

One of future tests will be with https://github.com/pashpashpash/vault-ai where we'll supply our code to said AI and see what we can learn about our code base.

For now I'm watching https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/ since my initial feedback here about AI+ML was negative.

-> About your hosted AI and liability. For now the last discussions I've read is it's the same liability as social media sites. So if you have a web site you already know what to do about this.

1. Web for mobile. No APP!!!
2. For Android we used the free dev system from Google.
3. For Apple the company used the free dev system from Apple.
