>Hey, my reputation is now almost zero! What do you mean? I see you have 27 upvotes and zero downvotes. You have +5 rep and you've only been posting since August 12.

I have never had any success dealing with a chatbot so the first thing I type is "speak to an agent".

Just so you know, I think you have 30 minutes from the time you post something to edit it for any changes/corrections. You don't have to delete it and post it again.

Python first because of the low overhead. In my opinion it is the best first language for developing core skills.

I'm sure I could easily have made it a top ten list but I'll keep it to just five for brevity. My list is going to be heavily skewed to older shows. Because modern shows are so ad heavy most themes have been cut to just a few seconds. Older …

Been that way for years. When I decided to leave my first programming job I told my boss that I should be present at the interviews. Being an engineer he assumed he knew enough to do it himself. He was wrong. Not only did the replacment not have a programming …

I don't know if this would work for yahoo, but a couple of years ago my older son needed to save a pile of work emails and attachments from his google account that was tied to his old job. I connected it via pop3 using Thunderbird and downloaded everything into …

Haven't really used Python to play with numbers, however, I have done a lot of playing around (although not recently) in [APL](https://tryapl.org/). I used APL extensively back in my university days (the 70s). It was fun then and fun now. In fact, Python list comprehensions have their roots in APL.

Welcome to Daniweb.

Welcome to Daniweb

First app is Macrium Reflect so I can take an image of the fresh install. Then I repartition to C/D, move my user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to D. Then I take another image. After that I begin installing my base apps before imaging one more time.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but you might not get it.

Inputbox, textbox, masked textbox, dropdown control, spin control, slider. There are so many options.

I hadn't heard of them until just now.

>I’ve been using it, but I always ensure it's perfect or not. Well, it's definitely going to be one or the other. When I give an answer I always try to ensure that it is correct or not.

You can't do horoscope matching properly because astrology is BS. Unless by matching you mean, "You believe this nonsense? So do I."

I have dozens of python scripts I've developed over the years as well, a number of them that use wxPython for the gui elements. I've posted several of the larger ones on Daniweb as tutorials if you are interested. One, for example, embeds vlc media player in two side-by-side panels …

To do what?

Short answer - you can't. It's not a bug. It's a feature. Microsoft resets all kinds of stuff, usually when it installs a Windows update. While the `assoc` command is useful, it associates a file extension to a `file type`, not a program. For example, look at the following list …

Likewise. I've found too many videos that pad 5% of useful info with 95% of useless exposition. And very few offer simple examples. A simple concept should come with a simple example, not buried in complex code.

That was me from 1998 to 2008. 24x7 standby, one week on, one week off, except for vacations.

Because sometimes the thing the user most wants to do is buried in the interface instead of being immediately accessible.

I use vscode on Windows and there is an official port to linux as well. You can download it [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/download?_exp_download=fb315fc982).

It depends on what is more important to you. If size is more important than speed go for an HD. But if speed is more important go for an SSD. If you need both, and your computer will hold two drives you can always add the SSD and make it …

Yeah. There are several tools out there that are just fancy GUI wrappers for ffmpeg. And thanks to chatGPT, figuring out what to type in on the command line is just one question away.

>I’m now exploring the possibility of moving to Canada I can't speak to the job opportunities, but I'll tell you a short story about a guy from South Africa who visited Winnipeg in the middle of winter, unprepared for the weather. He walked from the airport terminal over to the …

Restore them from what? Do you mean recover them from damaged media? Retouch scratchy images? Enhance from poorly scanned lo-res images?

There is a reason for standards. People appreciate when the same task can be accomplished the same way across different apps/platforms. People expect to see more-or-less the same menu items like Open, Save, Save As, Print, etc under the File menu. They expect Help to be the rightmost item. They …

I think inspect and pprint are pretty much used for debugging so I don't see the need to rewrite these in C++.

Be careful where you back up. PBS just lost more than 50 TB of video that they had "safely and securely" backed up to Iron Mountain. They could have more easily backed it up to their own multiply redundant local storage.

>Improve Content Quality @Muhammed_356 - Do you not see the irony in this? You insist on making posts that almost literally duplicate what everyone else has said. This does nothing to improve content quality.

I recently completed, for the most part, a wxPython app to convert speech to text in files containing an audio stream. As someone who is hearing impaired I find I am relying more and more on captioning. I am also finding that a number of videos, even when they include …

I just renewed my ISP Internet/TV/phone package for another two years. It includes a Rogers Xfinity outdoor camera. It automatically tags the video stream and creates clips when it detects motion. Everything is saved to the cloud. The "Easy Setup" was anything but, however, that's another story. Unfortunately it is …

Hello and welcome to Daniweb.

It seems these days that technology exists to infuriate us rather than serve us. I used to enjoy watching movies and viewing pictures on my Queast 2. The TV app worked well. I could put the screen into panorama mode and expand the screen. I could do prev nd next …

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by system info but I can get my info from msinfo32 System Summary Components Display or Task Manager Performance GPU If you need more detailed info you can use [hwinfo](https://www.hwinfo.com/download/) which comes in both installable and portable downloads (free).

I don't recognize your version numbers. What do you get when you run winver? My results are shown below and I'm running the current version of PowerToys. 

Not really a fair comparison, but you may recall that linux started as just a hobby project. Same with Python.

Welcome back. There are still a couple of us around.

Previously asked and answered. Just install Thunderbird and download the emails to a local folder. Just make sure you select IMAP.

I can't imagine how that would be useful to any programmers. The algorithm as shown would need more computing power than a straight multiply. Back in the 1970s I created a library to multiply arbitrarily long integers using prime residues. These days some languages handle this natively and efficiently. Python, …

Buying Instagram followers is pretty much the same unethical tactic as buying up copies of your own book to get on the best seller's list. It's dodgy at best and contemptible at worst. At least The Times identifies (although not obviously) best sellers that resulted from bulk sales. Too bad …

>According to me Mozilla Firefox (google chrome) is best for SEO. A response like that is completely useless without supporting info to back it up.

Aside from the sorting problem, there is agreement that a date like 2026-07-12 (regardless of what separator you use) will be yyyy-mm-dd. The problem with any other format is you can never tell whether a date like 07/12/2026 means July 12, or December 7. I prefer YYYY-MM-DD, not just because …

Yes. It is bad.

How about print to PDF?
