Where's line 72?

More news on Spotify offering. The offering is not even that. No capital raise and didn't use Goldman Sachs to bring it to the market.

It appears to not even be an IPO. Just shares that were private are now going to start trading on the market.

Good for them.

Since it's just a sketch. You need to meet with the usual board of physicians to get them to tell you it's OK or not. Folk's lives will depend on this and since it's an app that you wrote you have to tread carefully. That is, write your procedure document, design the screens, the questions and the decision tree. Once it's all in paper or say a PDF then your board or physiciams gives it go ahead.

I've seen folk want to write medical apps but get wiped out over the work you do before you code.

It appears the answer is yes. Here's how I found this out: https://www.google.com/search?q=Create+a+Permutation+and+Combination+in+C+language

Sounds like you are at least thinking this through. To get to this app, you need to at least do the basic work that all medical procedures go through. You write your paper on the new or better system then get it peer reviewed.

Have you done this? Or is there no paper yet?

Are you sure you are on VB6? By using such an old system on W10 I worry you have found a new issue.

That aside, be sure to look in Task Manager that the VB6 app is closed. Also, it's also known that a lock on a file can exceed the lifetime of the app. Also, the app could be mucking up file permissions. If you are a seasoned VB6 developer I need not write more.

Need to remind a coworker to lock their machine?

Press Shift+Alt+Printscreen and answer yes.

Most can't fix it. So be kind.

Just a thought. Microsoft has their API all over the map but looking at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.linq.xnode_methods(v=vs.110).aspx

I see the XNode.AddBeforeSelf Method (Object) method which looks interesting. That is, since no insert, maybe this to the first object?

I worry about deleting a thing before I move a thing. Since your oject lastNode is removed in line 4, I worry what line 5 would do.
Also check out the answer at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437158/whats-the-best-way-to-move-a-child-up-in-a-net-xmldocument where an insert method is used and remove is not used at all.

Sorry if you felt something was implied. Many projects over the decades. Project tracking is easier today but I continue to see companies try to do without the project owner or manager. Hey, their choice. Reap what you sow.

A few thoughts. What do you like from https://www.pinterest.com/jessabahr/facebook-page-like-ad-examples/ ?

Next, consider why The Enterprise looks so good from almost any angle. There are a lot of reasons in a video link I'll give next which is what you learn in art school. For those that don't have the time for that the rule of thirds and the golden ratio are worth knowing about.
Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6RAbB8afn0

Now you can apply those design rules to your images.

I've yet to hit the Xlinker docs but read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8165151/how-to-add-specific-symbols-from-static-library and how you surround the library wih whole and no-whole options.

Compilers and linkers are very agressive about optimizing and may be stripping unused objects. This directive appears to override that optimization. But when I get time I'll look again at the docs.

While I did have to prodict and manage a few projects over the years, the real deal here is a project manager, both the person and the software. Way back then we would do our project predictions then someone would do the work with Microsoft Project. Today I think folk are looking at freebies most of the time and complain that the software is junk when it gets too hard.

The only time I needed project management software was on long projects with many teams and members. The rest of the time I went old school project binder, with the usual planner and for project billing Excel sheets.

Seems this isn't uncommon. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42276194/undefined-symbol-using-boost-python?rq=1 kicked it around too.

I don't have this setup so I can't replicate the error or work it. Since your post has been up a few days and last year I worked out a Boost fail, I thought I'd have a look.

I worry that you want others to write your code. Maybe in a for hire post you could ask that but here you share your code and point out where you are stuck and members tackle the issues.

Since I don't want to leave you with nothing, why not look at prior examples as you build your app?
Example which looks to use wx and the database you mentioned seem to be out there. Look at https://wiki.wxpython.org/FullyFunctionalDemo

It appears much is written on this. Here's what I used to find out more.
https://www.google.com/search?q=optimizing+adwords

The last IPO I bought was Red Hat. After a huge gain in one day. Sold it. When you do that you never look back.

Fine examples and why I'm not a buyer. If you want to know what I'm buying I'll just share what I bought in the past year. Symbols only then why.

DNP and RCS. Thinking about more ATT (T).

The first two are now monthly dividend paying stocks in the 7 to 10% per year range. ATT is well, still doing well.
DNP is boring with investments (bonds) from "public utility companies engaged in the production, transmission or distribution of electric energy, gas or telephone services."
RCS holds United States debt securities.

Boring stuff. In finances, boring is good.

Let me share why I won't. Let's start wtih losses. Last year even with 71 million uses, CNBC notes that the company posted a $1.5 billion loss in 2017. And prior years didn't fare much better.

This may be hard to grasp but this cash raise is so those with shares now (company or people) can cash out and the new shareholders are left holding the bag. Not nice is it?

So if you are a Spotify exec, this is great news.

Sorry Ojelabi but given the current medical system for detection, I could be wrong but are you thinking you can detect these diseases without using the slides and usual workups?

Let's say you do have a protocol that you want to automate. Did you write your paper and have it peer reviewed? I mean I'm not a doctor but have had work in and near doctors to know that you can't just wing this. What's your basis for this diagnostic system?

So it can be self hosted on classic Linux or Windows Servers and no requirement for a proprietary cloud? Super.

Just one. In the circles I run (trying not to get dizzy here) everytime we look at document and such management the principles always demand a no-Cloud system. That is a system we host inside the company on our servers.

Is there an option for that?

I'd start with how it's done today.

https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/diagnosis_treatment/diagnosis.html

Now will your system have all that gear? Now you take years to do the vision processing to do what the human does. Slide prep appears to already be automated.

Sorry, I thought you were working a technical issue. This sounds more like people problems. Sorry, never mind.

As a designer of IR illumanation for CCTV can you do your calculation to see if your source fails?

It's over at https://www.intersil.com/en/products/optoelectronics/ambient-light-sensors/eye-safety.html

We had to do this years ago and the IR sources continued to be so low that we never approached the limits. I recall we were always 1,000 times less then the permitted values.

My analogy is flawed. I admit that. The folk that have pushed back are increasing as time goes on. I can't understand why outside of they just want a sure fix.

As you did work building the PCs you know that a dead PC can be from almost every part of the PC. Even the case as you find extra standoffs shorting out the motherboard.

As to the 75 bucks it's mostly there to let us give the person some pause and let us pop in the dollar battery and if it fixes it, send them on their way with a minimal charge on the ticket. We hope they'll remember us for not taking them to the cleaners. To really test the CR2032 is detailed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMQI5R79lx4 I think I've only done that a few times over the years so you can see why we charge for a full up test.

Back to physcology. My guess is they already went to a few shops and got told "it's the motherboard" with all the charges that entails.

@ryantroop. I've had this pushback from all sorts of folk. From the unwashed that don't know how trivial and cheap this is to engineers that want proof it will fix the machine. You could prove it's an possible cause with a Volt meter but we charge to do that. 75 bucks to prove it? Don't they get it that we want to pop in the dollar (retail) battery and if it fixes it send them on their way? Nope about half don't get that.

A car analogy could be "My tire is flat." And I start by putting in air. "NO!!!, I want you to find out why."
Fine, without trying to add air you want the tire removed and inspected? Sure. Or do you want us to just install 4 new tires just to be sure?
I bet one in ten now go for all new tires.

As PCs age you enounter "The Dead PC" from time to time. Long ago I even owned a PC repair shop and learned a lot from the experience. But fast forward to today.

While I know a bit about PC design something of a mystery to me is why folk have been pushing back on a common cheap thing to try on dead machines. Pop in a new CMOS battery.

I could go on why this can cause a PC to hang but here if it's the usual CR2032 we buy these in bulk for the office at 25 cents USD each. It's a dollar part most everywhere here.

Why do people push back on this thing to try? Do they really want to incur a shop counter charge to test the 25 cent part? I think they don't get it that past a few years these can deplete and cause a machine to hang on power up.

And yes, we add a 1/2 hour diagnostic fee to the bill if they want the battery tested. That's 75 bucks USD. High but they did ask for that.

I did not spend hours looking into this. But here's my thought. The shift left using << could lose the MSB since it's only a byte. Maybe use a 16 bit variable so the MSB is not tossed.

Next time post your code so we can check out Line 5, Line 9 etc.

Read https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=5tb%20hard%20drive&Submit=ENE next.
Also, what tools do you use to connect and configure MySQL now?
Finally, what if localhost is not resolved? Try the IP address?

I see this was cross posted and a good answer there.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49451126/cf-exe-1-is-not-a-valid-win32-application

Crossposting is not a rule breaker but when you do that and not tell you are wasting folk's time.

Why do you reference tab[14] in line 19?
I see you initialized the array tab[] in line 7 with 14 values but that only filled the tab[] array from tab[0] to tab[13].

Since tab[14] is not initialized, you can't be sure what will happen.

That's what I expected to happen when folk want no-code solutions. I did see a Windows printer driver at https://epson.com/Support/Point-of-Sale/Receipt-Printers/Epson-TM-T88V/s/SPT_C31CA85011 so my idea of no-code solution would be Word, Illustator or such and print from there.

Maybe you wanted to print from all those languages you tagged your discussion with but that is code and you wrote no-code.

Since you got the report for free it appears that the results are indeed free.

As to understanding this report, I'll give you the answer for line 1. That's the first line of an ASCII graphic that follows on for a few lines. It's just for looks and to understand it you may have to move back another foot to see they made an ASCII graphic of their product name.

As to the rest, next time don't dump the entire report. Be specific to what line you wanted more thoughts about.

Finally I'm sure they offer support for a fee like most good companies do. The question becomes "Is it worth paying for?" For those that are just learning about the subject at hand, that can be a simple yes.

Parting note: This seems eerily similar to your post at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/515767/amp-accelerated-mobile-pages That is, you seem to have yet again found something on the web.

To accomplish this without learning a (to?) code you would change this to a FOR HIRE type posting and tell how much you will pay for this work.

I take it you already tried finding a printer driver that you could print from Word or such which is a no-code solution.

Sorry but this is where you see if the SQL service/server is running then use SQL command lines to test if it is up, down or gone.

You installed this so only you know the particulars.

WHY that GPU?

Here's why not! -> http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-HD-630-Desktop-Kaby-Lake-vs-AMD-Radeon-HD-6450/m178724vsm7821

That old GPU is so bad that it looks like the Intel HD 630 IGP beats the C**P out of this old card.

Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as "surveillance companies." Their rebranding as "social media" is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense
Edward Snowden 17 Mar 2018

This via Twitter which poses another question.

Let's start with covering a problem I see all too often in new designs. Ready?

NEVER STORE PASSWORDS IN A DATABASE.

So beyond your database schema you show your login with password and then encrypt and salt the user supplie password then compare that to the password in the database which is also encrypted and salted. At no time do you store the plain password. This way you never expose or know the password for reasons in the search above.

Now about your other question. Once you get the login and verify you show the page you want based on usertype.

In psuedocode it's If usertype == "God" then show GodPage eles show MereMotalPage.

I take it you need to read more from https://www.google.com/search?q=negative+numbers+in+assembler

That is, to implement a negative number you have to implement a sign bit and test then handle it accordingly.

As to machine language I have yet to see folk do that today. Usually it's done in assembler (language) since few get intimate enough to write in machine language of ones, zeros and hex or other machine code. To me and everyone at the office, machine code is not assembler.

As to those, they seem to miss your goal of no copying and not revealing the site address.

I'm going with no. There is no such thing. Do you need to get into why?

For example the URL is human readable and shows up in almost all browsers so you can't hide that. So that can be copied.
Any file that can be read from a drive for execution is automatically open for copying.

I could go on but I see you're a long time member and why dash your ideas like this?

-> If these are tools for learnings wouldn't a teacher supply them to all the children?

Example: Ol' Musky shares the patents for a lot of his car inventions. Why?

"If we're all in a ship together," Musk said, "and the ship has some holes in it, and we're sort of bailing water out of it, and we have a great design for a bucket, then even if we're bailing out way better than everyone else, we should probably still share the bucket design."

If these are great learning tools, share the wealth.

Just a note about the rules. There's been a rash of posts that are just poor in quality.

The reason the question about reading the rules is not directed just at you but if you can help feed back if this isn't showing up we can report it up the chain to who fixes this area.

Be honest. If you just blew past that just tell that. The number of posts that dump code and run is too high.

You may need to reduce the question to exactly where in your code you want to test for a checkmate condition. Note: Notice the lack of space in the word checkmate.

https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Chess_player and other works are far beyond 175 lines of code. A thought here. If you want to add a specific checkmate test, create a function that does this test. It's your code so you have a deep understanding of your design. Your code doesn't convey design. It's just code. So tackle this by breaking out your new test to a function on its own.

Over 100 lines of code for someone to read through and guess where to add or such?

Try again. But first read how to make a great discussion. Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

Also, what is a check mate? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate tells me what this might be without the added space. Why that added space?

If you are not convinced then it's clear it is not worth it to you.

Keep it simple. Don't let others sell you on this.

6 year member. I saw a spat of such posts on forums and it appears they thought this was a way to score points like Quora does. You are not on that other site.

Just my view on this. This sounds too close to prior discussions I found with this search:

https://www.google.com/search?q=why+doesn't+google+crawl+all+my+pages%3F

To me this seems to be you telling others you have more to learn. That is, what is a header and so much more. I won't answer those questions here because we have Google and other fine search tools.

But I won't leave you with nothing. Take a look at Rawshark at https://wiki.wireshark.org/Tools

Back to you. If you want pcap files, capture with the Wireshark tools rather that what you used.

This area can upset folk. That is, if we break the VPN like this, it's not really a VPN but more of a proxy. That out of the way, some routers let you setup your LAN to VPN to where you wish. But breaking the VPN is well, another thing altogether.

To date I've kept the VPN true and don't accept such breakage to be acceptable and call it a VPN.

But as we see when reading priors at https://www.google.com/search?q=local+lan+access+when+using+VPN to break this (or some may calling fixing it) what you use for VPN matters as each system varies.
