A Whirlwind Day: A Blend of Chaos and Joy 1 Week Ago by ingyumyrfaa Today was one of those days that felt like a whirlwind, filled with both chaos and joy. I woke up early, excited for the day ahead. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and I could feel the energy of a new day coursing through my veins. This is me venting 1 Week Ago by Dani This is definitely not a targeted attack at *anyone*. Please take it just as me having a bad day and venting. I'm kinda tired of people constantly telling me that I'm the reason that DaniWeb traffic has tanked over the years. And if only I had done this differently. Or done that differently. Or listened to members more about this. Or listened to… joy, and endless possibilities 1 Week Ago by ingyumyrfaa As I wind down for the day, I feel a sense of gratitude for the experiences and lessons learned. Life is unpredictable, but it is filled with moments of beauty and joy. I am reminded that every day is a gift, and it is up to us to make the most of it. Question Answering with YouTube Videos Using RAG in LangChain 1 Week Ago by usmanmalik57 In previous articles, I explained how to use natural language to interact with [PDF documents](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541732/paris-olympics-ticket-information-chatbot-with-memory-using-langchain) and [SQL databases](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541771/using-natural-language-… Re: Do you participate in any other communities? 4 Weeks Ago by Dani Oh, and as for Reddit, Google has taken a very keen interest in Reddit as of recently. They just began paying them for full access to their internal API to get a stream of all Reddit content. Plus they just very recently IPO'ed a few days ago and their stock is doing quite well. (I bought a little on opening day). Re: Which Crypto Services You Use ? 4 Weeks Ago by Dani Just stumbled across this topic and remembered how much I regret not getting into bitcoins back in the day.

Re: How can I upload a tar.bz2 file to openstack swift object storage container 4 Weeks Ago by Hanginium65 Good day, Salem. My apologies for taking so long to reply to your suggestion. I refactored my code to read the contents of the tar.bz2 file and then pass them as a file-like object to the 'put_object' and also to change the content type for the file transfer to "application/octet-stream". The first was sent through to object storage … Re: Improve HAVING BY performance 3 Weeks Ago by Dani In exchange for less than a day's worth of work? Of course!!!!!

Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got a call from Best Buy at 6:30 pm the same day. He informed me that the Windows system that the tech installed was not the OEM version for my machine. I asked why this should matter since I requested a reset to factory from the recovery partition. He said they couldn't do that because the recovery partition had been corrupted. So that's two … Re: Improve HAVING BY performance 3 Weeks Ago by Dani > Point #2 would apply if the improvement was noticible but I doubt anyone could seriously comment, "I think this page rendered 50ms faster than it used to", especially considering all the other things that affect timing, for example, the current loading on my ISP servers, anything else running on my computer or home network, etc. … Re: Improve HAVING BY performance 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa I'm a little late to the party, however, I want to share my experience learning MySQL in the past day. I setup a server, a database, and wrote a C++ program to connect to it. It measures the times for 3 SELECTs. The whole product list, using HAVING, and WHERE. I also tested reversing the orders.

Re: A Whirlwind Day: A Blend of Chaos and Joy 1 Week Ago by pritaeas Welcome. Re: This is me venting 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim It's hard for me to imagine that all of the pleasure I've gotten out of Daniweb, the challenges, the insights, the friendships since I joined in 2010, are all dependent on the largesse of just one very talented person. I, for one, appreciate all you have done, particularly considering your current health issues. If you feel unappreciated then … Re: This is me venting 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim Also, in non-computing over the years I have heard comments like "if only I hadn't stopped for coffee I would have missed that accident, or several other variations.

Or they … Re: This is me venting 1 Week Ago by jkon Dani , yes I also believe that you are responsible for the decline of DaniWeb .... BUUUT that was many years ago.

The following tips will definitely help you boost traffic. * Create high-quality, relevant content * Optimize for mobile devices * Engage in strategic link-building activities Re: Lots of new members but no one posts 4 Weeks Ago by Dani I can confirm that's not happening. I can confirm they're just signing up and then leaving, and can also confirm they're not bots. There can't be *that* many people creating sleeper accounts for future spam attacks, so I'm ruling that out too. Plus, it's always been this way.

How many users return to your site? 1 Month Ago by FarrisFahad I have been working on my site for a long time now and I noticed something different.

Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine.

First thing I noticed was that the …
