 | A big problem today is that people have forgotten the purpose of language. In my day (cue Seth Meyers routine) language was intended to convey ideas from one person to another. Similarly to data transmission, we want to get the information from one person to another as quickly and as … |
 | A lot of editors support libraries of code snippets which are generally written and debugged by humans.  |

 | Welcome to Daniweb. What brought you here, and what do you hope to find? |
| | Not a chance. My knees would last about five seconds. |
 | Hello, and welcome to Daniweb. |
| | Cop shows that include a 5 minute foot chase. This is usually the result of the cops shouting out a suspect's name from half a block away instead of waiting until they are within arm's reach. Inevitably the suspect runs into the path of a car or truck and the … |
 | Believe in a super powerful entity that's gonna solve all your problems but you need to "worship" it unless you want to be tortured for the rest of your life/eternity? We already have that. It's called God, Jesus, Yahweh, Allah, etc. Take your pick. Show me evidence that any of … |
 | What relevance is the mining industry to Daniweb?  |

| | Run appwiz.cpl and look at all the installed items. You may have several pieces of bloatware such as browser extensions that you don't need. Check for apps that start automnatically when WIndows starts. [Sysinternals](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite) autoruns is excellent for identifying and disabling. How much RAM do you have? Excessive swapping due … |
| | Seems like an extension of Sturgeon's Law which states "90% of everything is crap". |
| | Similar to your post in the hard drive thread, a generic recommendation is useless without getting into specific software. In this case I can recommend two. One is [VisiPics](https://visipics.info/) which I find works well. The interface is straightforward and it allows you to select a similarity threshhold. While not as … |
| | In the summer of 2022 I bought an ASUS laptop from BestBuy. It came with an internal SSD and an empty internal bay for a 2.5" drive. I didn't install a second drive until October and when I booted up it would not recognize the added drive. When I took … |
| | There are at least two free options. One is [VisiPics](https://visipics.info/) which I find works well. The interface is straightforward and it allows you to select a similarity threshhold. While not as robust as perhaps an AI based tool (I don[t know of any yet) I find it does the trick. … |
| | Are you trying to execute the query before opening the connection? I'm just guessing because you didn't post any code. Strictly speaking you didn't post a question either.  |
 | How does Daniweb fare in search engines like Duckduckgo and Bing? |
 | Typically, Dell supports the hardware of a system and will assume that every problem is a software problem for which they will charge to fix (trust me on this - I spent the last 16 months fighting with Dell). They don't really care what OS is put on the machine … |

| | 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 … |
| | 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.  |
 | |
| | Yes. People continue to ask about VB6. They shouldn't. And you likely won't see anyone answering questions about, for example, COBOL or QuickBASIC, except in a historical context. The only VB6 question that should be asked is "why are you still using it?" |
 | |
| | Right click on taskbar and select taskbar settings. If you want the icon to show then turn copilot preview on. Or you can use the hotkey WINDOWS+C. Copilot should appear docked to the right of the screen.. |
 | |
| | I'm not very familiar with HAVING but my understanding is that it is used to filter results after a GROUP operation so I can't imagine that indexes would improve performance other than on the original SELECT. Using WHERE would return rows based on one or more criteria, and would benefit … |
| | Yet another example of taking a simple concept (black hat vs white hat from old cowboy flicks) and diluting it until nobody can make sense of it anymore. Just like the myriad different coloured wrist bands and ribbons. What's next? Purple hat? Green Hat? |
| | I went to a site that sells wood veneer slat paneling. They make a nice range of products and seem reputable. However, on completing my order I found that my payment options were limited to * shoppay * paypal * gpay I have never seen a legitimate site that would … |

| | I'd like to see the elimination of ranking based on payments to Google. |

| | Since all cryptocurrencies are essentially scams, I do not use any of them. |
| | I just finished the second last episode of Ted Lasso, season 2. I'd seen it before but number two son was interested so we've been watching it while we do weights. Last night we watched Amsterdam (fictionalized drama of the time big business wanted to stage a military coup and … |
| | Might as well put a sign over the door that says **Abandon all hope ye who enter here**. |
 | Surf and turf (sort of). I just took a salmon and some marinated beef strips out of my smoker and we are going to have that with a vegetable stir fry and rice. |
| | Further... Python gets converted to byte code which is then cached in a sub-folder. As long as the source code and packages have not changed there is no need to reconvert so subsequent runs should start faster. Also, I strongly recommend that you look into wxpython as a much better … |
| | Assuming this is python you have to ensure the backslashes are not read as escape characters. Try image = cv2.imread(r'C:\Users\Audun Nilsen\Pictures\pica.webp') Using `r'` in front of a string indicates a raw string and the backslashes will not be interpreted as special unless the backslash is the final character in the … |
| | I can't offer any suggestions other than to just download the compiled app for your system instead of building it yourself. |
 | Can you be a little more specific as to the nature of your problem? |
 | |
| | I tried installing python 3.12 and had the same problem. I typically wait a bit before installing the latest and greatest because I have found it can take a while before packages are upgraded to be compatible (usually wxpython). I was able to install the individual packages under python 3.10. … |
| | Does that mean, "how to use AI to game the system"? |

| | Wouldn't that be a more appropriate question for google? I suppose that would depend on what kind of "things". We could send you to USPS, U-Haul, Fed-Ex, etc. |
The End.
