Anytime I see "password" in a database field I ask about that. The days of putting a clear user password in the database is over. Are they still teaching this bad idea?

I'm the wrong person to ask if I would get into the dev team of an open source OS. I noted above that these are the wheels on our computers today and the real action is in the apps. By apps I mean programs, web sites, and the whole gamut from single chip systems to mainframes.

If you want to get into OS development you would join one of the existing teams to see what goes on or decide you want to strike out on your own with the TunOS.

The biggest problem I see when folk start down this road is "Where are you going?" and along the lines of wheels is this really needed? That is, we have open source DOSes out there, Linux versions that are small (diskette sized) to mainframe size and then commercial OSes like Apple and Microsoft provide. I'm also had experience with older OSes like PSOS for an embedded system but never considered my own from scratch because that would add possibly years till the product would be delivered.

-> FINALLY we have to talk about times where there is NO-OS. Since I was involved in single chip (think MicroChip.com) solutions and single board solutions at times all we would do is write a boot loader then jump to our app that was in C. So if your target is specific enough (ask if you need examples) then you don't bother with an OS.

I have 2 answers.

1. An artist does not blame their tools (brush, chisel, etc.)
2. On the PC you might have more options to run servers, services etc.

Why not make "b" the same type as sender? Also, you can examine what the sender is with TypeOf as noted:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference//operators/typeof-operator

As to the delayed emails, I can write the same here. Day late, dollar short.

Try keeping your post together in one place. This sounds like https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/519187/how-to-count-file-download-with-button-click-using-php-mysql to me.

So yes, you would code it so when the download button is clicked you +1 your song's download count in your database.

In case no one writes your code for you (rare here), there's a google about this: https://www.google.com/search?q=Increment+sql+entry+on+button+click&gl=US

This looks like a duplicate https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/519186/how-to-update-button-click-with-php-mysql

What is that? https://www.google.com/search?q=matrix+round+rounbin+display&gl=US didn't find what this was.

Explain what you are trying to do as well as what is it.

@ReverendJim, yes and here our apps use Bluetooth so to write it was a challenge to get the Bluetooth tickety boo is an understatement. The first Bluetooth we used was way back on PalmOS which it's emulator was lacking as well but I did manage to set it up to use the Windows BT stack to a Com port and then in the PalmOS emulator use the Com port which worked well enough to get it all going. Later that feature failed but thank goodness the engine under it all was gold.

Now with Android, I've yet to find an emulator that included Bluetooth so for that the device as host for the app and debugging with USB was how it got done.

Hope this isn't too boring.

Let's start with "No standard for pseudocode syntax exists."

In fact your text after the word "Specifications" is pseudocode. You could take that to a seasoned programmer and they could write the app using that alone.

Since the assignment gave you this, you could embellish on that. Take it sentence and write down the steps (not in code!) it takes to get that done.

All this is your choice to dive into creating or using what I'm going to call "wheels." There are folk that like developing this and we need folk that dive into OS development. But they could be lost to the world of developing apps and web sites. That is, you may not find anyone that does it all.

For me the work I do requires the app run on platforms you see out there in the majority. Due to what the systems we connect to with the smart phones and PCs this means Android and Windows. We could do Linux and DOS but then we fail the test about being in the majority of host machines for our apps.

-> ChromeOS is useful for many reasons. For example I can buy 80 dollar laptops (refurb) and if I install ChromeOS and if that works that's a nice Chromebook for cheap. So there's a reason for ChromeOS since a lot of folk could live on a Chromebook.

The last one is too limiting for me to comment on. There are many more orphan OSes out there and you could spend a year re-discovering them.

Look to their past. I think it was in 1996 so 23 years later.

Anyhow I've done a few tools that run in Python so that gets me some OS agnostic apps out there. After playing with React decades ago and on/off again I'm left with a big why do we need this? Why not Linux?

For a developer COSMOS might be interesting. https://www.google.com/search?q=turn+c%23+into+bootable+os&gl=US

"That OS" has a long history. I recall it being closer to Windows 95 than today's NT based Windows. I don't expect it to ever be finished. You are better off on some Linux IMO.

Odd choice of category for a post. Code Snippet Repository in my view would be for working examples you want to share or make a tutorial about. If you wanted to discuss an issue, then a normal discussion with appropriate tags is better.

Are you reporting that all prior answers to this don't work? https://www.google.com/search?q=the+%27Microsft%2CACE.OLEBD.12.0%27+provider+is+not+registered+on+the+local+host&gl=US

I do know that on W10 our very old VB6 app is dead in respect to this but VB.Net should be fine unless, well, it would be rare to find a new solution to your error.

Why must it "depict"?

• depict = "show or represent by a drawing, painting, or other art form".
  As C++ doesn't have native graphics, will Ascii Art do?

I guess something wasn't clear here. No one writes code for you unless it's some one liner or not much more.

Besides your first sentence is something you see in a homework assignment. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html tells me that yes you could create a class for that object so you have that going for you.

As to a Python version, that's your work unless you are putting it out there for pay.

That's getting there. The </> Code Block allows { and } so next time you create a discussion you can avoid character substitution.

OK, so there's your code. As you can guess this is some assignment so you get to write all the code. What's stopping you? What line is a problem?

@san. The code will fit inside your post. Why would you have us open up Word or other apps to get at your code.

Again, when you post use the </> Code Block so your code is here and ready to read. Make it easy on everyone.

I'm sure others will do this but where is the full documentation for this app? How much does it pay?
If this is homework, please read this: https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

I'm going to write that axtel blew the sale. And maybe others as well. If a seller or maker won't answer questions then you keep shopping.

As above, use the </> Code Block feature when posting otherwise you end up with fuzzy hard to read pictures that no one can copy, edit and paste their ideas.

A little vague. As a developer you would create a new setup for your app. Unless you meant something else.

Please show your work so far then add what issues or errors you are encountering.

Since you didn't present code or your problem I'll comment that Rosettacode has many passages about this: https://www.google.com/search?q=rosettacode+polynomials

I caught this UHD 4K 27 inch Sceptre for 210USD to my door in Oct 2019. What many don't know is that you can send it either 1080p or UHD video and it has HDMI, DisplayPort, and speakers if you don't have a sound system. Would buy again if I needed one.

This is one of those well done passages of code. Over 141 versions are over at https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Palindrome_detection

Here we mark the thread solved. I did that for you.

Far too vague. You essentially wrote "it doesn't work" which can apply to everything. Imagine if everyone posted like this?

https://www.tensorflow.org/install notes 4 different OSes so there's so much more for you to tell.
Start telling.

I didn't find the clues in your post but I may have missed it. Anyhow I have run into non-shiny issues where the DNS was some ISP that was (rap. So with that in mind I have two ideas. 1. Test with a DNS like 8.8.8.8 and 2. Double check your shiny? server is running and responding on port 4616.

If that's how you want to proceed with a VM. https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+rcmd+command&gl=US finds the basics.

Now I'm really worried. That is, that research is basic to learning and building apps. I worry you are leaning or hoping to find a tutor.

I disagree. rcmd is where you should start. Understand the basic tools and then code. I find it better to prototype what I want from the command line and then automate it in the code. You'll be up to speed in a year or so but longer if you don't get in there and learn what you have already.

I'm going to disagree here. What happens when there's a PDF is determined by the user's web browser, addons and more. There is no assurance what will happen when the PDF is sent. That is, you link to your PDF file as you would any other file. What happens depends on the user's setup, not your responsibility. Example HTML:

<a href="http://www.website.com/documents/filename.pdf">Descriptive Here</a>

The information is not useful to those that don't understand how things work. Continue your computer language and science studies and over time your research becomes more useful.

Sorry but that is so basic that I fear you skipped entry level classes. Why not start now to learn and test what you can do with rcmd, learn how to shell out and run a system command now? It appears you want one on one tutoring which I'll just reply with example research links which you must learn now.

Do you know how to research areas that are new to you? If not, that's your first endeavor, before you try to write code.

To prototype you use rcmd. Then for your client end you shell out to rcmd so you don't have to type it in. Shelling out to run a command is pretty basic or are you so new to programming that this is also a challenge?

There are so many client server apps out there with source code. My advice is you are not coding such today is to step back and just use rcmd. That is, build according to your current knowledge. If I were to write it for you then you may end up with questions that won't fit here.

@dragon, it turned out they were spamming some app so replies vanished.

First I would not move the boot drive or any other drive from where it was connected and working. I also don't want to see ANY BIOS changes.

So back to where everything was when it worked a boot is attempted. If that fails we can boot our W10 install and repair USB stick and try it's automatic repair options. Link follows about that as I see someone already mentioned how to obtain and make this stick. NO CDKEY or product key is required. If you are asked for a key or money you went to the wrong site.

Skip to "Using a Recovery Drive or System Repair Disc" at https://www.howtogeek.com/131907/how-to-create-and-use-a-recovery-drive-or-system-repair-disc-in-windows-8/ which has been updated to include W10. Use the automatic repair in the option Startup Repair. Video of what you might see is at https://youtu.be/5Zkvlcnv-UU?t=120

I think the OP wants to use canned code to do such work. Because the works I have been involved don't allow for such unless open source and generous licenses let me note the Sobel operation. Research for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=Sobel+operator+filter+image+edge+detection&gl=US

I read your post and think it's time to go back to what worked. REMOVE THAT DRIVE and hope W10 boots and fixes itself.

Now what to do with that other drive? Put it into some USB case so you can drag out the files you want from it. Now that the files are safe you can delete the partitions on that drive, create a new partition (or leave it blank for later) then format it so there is no bootable OS there. At this point you can install it into your PC and W10 should still boot.

UNLESS there was a goof made long ago and your OS drive was not on the lowest number SATA port or less likely you have some RAID setup which means a BIOS change to make the RAID higher in the boot priority.

As to blowing up OSes, I find that folk can't be taught to back up. I've been at this for decades and the only way folk learn is to lose it all. I wish that lesson didn't have to be learned first hand.

What would I do? Research if my VS2017 Pro has what I need.

My research says it has it baked in: https://www.google.com/search?q=visual+studio+professional+C%2B%2B+SQL+example&gl=US

I tend to use rcmd over writing another app. And even if I were to write another app I might call rcmd to duty to lighten the load.

About understanding the code you study it until you understand. Give yourself a year or two to go from zero to coding such an app.

As usual, you have to show your code and design so far.

Also, why not just use rcmd? https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+rcmd if you forgot.

To me, you have too many speed variables. When you created the new Car in line 39 you passed in the initial speed but I see what looks to be some error in thinking as you have speed in your main, another in your class Car.

So at line 52 it falls apart since the speed is not what's in the Car class. Think it over. No reason to pass in the speed on car.brake or car.accelerate. Also you ignore your class function getSpeed so there's that as well which should have been used in lines 53 and 57.

Just a comment. That post is a solid wall of text that the current US President would love as it may be stopping folk from reading it.

Consider formatting it to a few paragraphs to make it readable. Unless the intent was "No one shall pass!" or reply.

Why would you need libraries? AFAIK and I do have VS2008 at the office I didn't need any libraries to use SQL in VS2008. Everything was baked in.

I can't guess what you want to discuss here. Are you selling such or asking for where I would go for same?
