I've used Plex for years with servers on Mac, M1 Mac, Windows, QNAP and Synology; clients on Mac, IOS, iPadOS (including remote access over internet), Apple TV, Chromecast, LG Television. Metadata, subtitles etc all solid. And it's free. What more are you looking for?

> Basically these kind of Apps allow you to access internet even if you don't have data at all I believe you are mistaken about this. VPNs and tunnels still need to transmit your bytes over your internet connection. What makes you think otherwise?

My favourite Zen proverb: "the grandfather dies, the father dies, the son dies" Sounds very depressing at first sight, but when you think about it you see that it is perfect - anything else is a lot worse.

The `Random` class in the standard Java API has all you need. Just Google it.

I watch almost everything via a recording, so I can always skip the ads, but I still have to put with "coming after the break " followed by a preview of the best bits to come, and then after the break a complete resume of the segment that just finished. …

I used https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photos-duplicate-cleaner/id592704001?mt=12 Worked well for me.

It looks like your files are in the wrong place. As used in your code, getResource will look for the files in same folder (or package if you are runnng from a jar) that the current class was loaded from. I don't see any class files in that directory. It …

Yes. Just make sure that the new Object is has all its variables in a decent state regardless of which conditional paths are executed.

Do you have enough address space for 10 biilion long long ints (at least 80GB)?

So if I use Excel to create an interesting spreadsheet Microsoft should be the copyright owner?

We may have had our disagreements in the past, but this is one thing I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. With all my heart I wish you the strength to endure what must be endured. And, who knows, modern medicine is improving exponentially. There’s always hope. James

TCP. UDP messages are sent, but there is no check or guarantee whether they arrive or not. Also if you send multiple UDP packets there's no guarantee that they will arrive in the same order as they were sent.

> What are the 2 main types of software? Software with known bugs, and software with bugs we don’t know about.

Just FYI the “standard” way to code this (saving duplicated reads and tests) is simply while ((String line = br.readLine()) != null) { // process line }

> Dissertation helper Does that mean you help people cheat? Shame on you.

I’m no Python expert, but my understanding is that __del__ is called when and if the object is deleted by the garbage collecter. This may be some time after the last reference is released by obj = None, definitely *not* “as soon as you do obj = None”. Maybe the …

Place the database jar somewhere in your CLASSPATH, and`import` the classes you need in the other projects do you can use them directly.

> How can I get this source code? It's a learning assignment. You get the source code by writing it yourself - that's how you learn. If you are trying to write it, and you're stuck, explain what you have done so far and what's blocking you. Someone will help.

Did you set the JFrame as the owner of the dialogs when creating them?

Some countries including France where I live use a . between thousands and a , before the decimals. Java localisation will automatically default to display numbers in the correct format for the users locale. You can override this by setting an explicit locale in your program if you want to …

I think you mean decrypt. 10 seconds with google tells us that rot13 is simply a ceaser cypher that replaces each letter with the letter 13 after it in the alphabet. Very easy in any programming language.

Be realistic. Your tutor expects this to take weeks of work for a team of 2. There’s no possibility of doing anything by ‘tomorrow’. Spend your time thinking about plan B.

Is it possible that the panel becomes visible before the tile class is fully initialised?

I doubt that you will find an off-the-shelf solution, nor will you find an easy one. You need to traverse a tree with nodes for each value x1, x2, x3 etc. Looks like a recursive algorithm. How much do you really want a solution?

Just out of curiosity, what are you modelling that needs an accuracy like 1 part in 10^20?

You write a Java program as specified in the assignment. Have you even tried to start writing?

Ok. You have started, so that’s good. How far did you get and what’s stopping you from progressing further?

> It's not good practice to short circuit the page by calling exit; in the middle of an if-else block. So you call a separate method that calls exit for you? All you have done is make the code more obscure by hiding the exit. try/catch would be much clearer.

Any `true` on the top/right/bottom/left edge is an entry or exit, so you just need to loop round those locations looking for two `true` values

Dani is right. But to specify a location within your home folder in MacOS use the Tilda, eg ~/Documents/softechdb

Why those old old versions? I'm not surprised that they're not running on Windows 10. The current Netbeans is version 15, not 9 The current JDK is version 19, not 9. (Although you may prefer version 17 which is the current LTS version). All those are Windows 10 compatible.

Me too. Over 20 devices connected to the wifi, many with no keyboard and tortuous setup procedures (not just printer and tv, but dishwasher, oven, Tesla charger etc). No way am I ever going to change the SSID or password. I know that’s crazy, but it’s not my fault.

> . Colour is not a property of an object. A surface will absorb or reflect light according to the wavelength of the light and the physical properties of the surface, independent of who is looking at it. That is what most of us mean by the “colour” of the …

You’ll find what you need in Java’s Random class (Java.util.Random)

The one thing in this that could trip you up is that Python’s [] do not translate to Java’s [] arrays. Java arrays do not support list-like operations such as pop or append. Java’s Deque (double ended queue) class should provide all you need when the code uses more than …

You can use Regex , but depending on where you are in the learning curve it may be simpler to do it directly… There’s a String method that converts a string to an array of chars The Character class has methods that tell you if a given char is numeric, …

Can you send those keys to the app's system input stream via ProcessBuilder?

Consider the array 1 2 3 4 5 2 6 7 8 3 your algorithm will find the 2 and jump, missing the better solution jumping on 3. you need to continue searching; your first jump solution is just the best so far. Of course there may be multiple jumps …

What possible reason would any sane person have to encrypt huge swathes of thir hard disk with no way to decrypt them. Or is this intended as a weapon to cause massive harm to someone else's machine?

How far have you got? What exactly do you need to move on?

Hi. 11 years for me. I used to be very active in the Java forum, but since Dani got rid if it there's been less and less for me to do. Very sad. ;(

The brute force search is a good solution for a small dictionary and a small number of searches, but gets very CPU intensive otherwise. I hit this implementing a Scrabble solver where each move requires checking all the subsets of 7 or more letters against a dictionary of 230k words. …

That’s a great contribution. Thanks. I think most of us have written something like that for our private libraries, and as of Java 18 it seems people have noticed. “Text blocks” allow you to code literal multi-line formatted text such as your html in a straightforward way. The jdk now …

rubber man is right. Start by getting the logic right in your head or on a sheet of paper. Doesn't matter how you write that down. When you have that clear in your own mind, then start coding. You didn't say what is your exact problem, or what help you …
