 | I'd tell you a UDP joke but you might not get it. |
 | I'd hate to think you were one errant baseball (or hockey puck) away from losing access. What if you were in a car accident and got your face pounded by the air bag? Would you be unable to unlock your phone to call 911? |
| | Yes. But like most technological changes it will create new jobs. |
 | Way back in 2010. Probably a Google search. I landed here and stayed. Sort of like that one relative who drops in for a visit and never leaves. ;-) |
| | I'm reminded of a Harley-Davidson ad from years back. It had a picture of a decked out motorcycle with a hot tub, wet bar, and recliner. The caption read, "If you want all the comforts of home, stay there."  |
| | I currently have an ASUS Vivobook K350 that I bought in Dec 2022 but I would never buy another ASUS product. Too many stupid annoying problems that don't quite reach the level of justifying the expense of replacement. My older son (medical researcher) is currently looking at a new Lenovo … |
 | >Part of the reason... I, for one, am sick and tired of every Tom, Dick, and Harry requiring a separate app for everything. It has gotten to the point of having to scroll through pages of icons to locate whatever app you need for a particular occasion. Plus, every app … |
 | As an example, the person who developed Iocaine found that 94% of the traffic to his site was caused by bots. When you price and design a site for an expected human load, and then you get overwhelmed by bots, you can throw more money at it or you can … |
| | And this is my response. Welcome to Daniweb. |

| | Can you please post the contents of requirements.txt? I don't know if this will make a difference, but when I install python I always put it in c:\python and install for all users. I find it much easier when trying to fix problems like this to have all the files …  |
| | There is an excellent book by Alan Cooper called About Face: The Essentials of User Interface Design. The most recent version is the fourth edition in 2014. While looking this up I found another book by him that I'll be reading shortly. The Inmates are Running the Asylum. Why High … |
| | I frequent the PyCoder website. They have both free and paid content. The paid content includes tutorials. I recently got an email offering me a seven day free trial of the paid content. When I checked it out I saw that it was a "sign up and get the first … |
| | I have an apps folder on D: where I keep all my portable/homegrown software. Let's say I want to create a virtual enviromnent in `D:\apps\MyVirtual`. To do this I open a command shell and do D:\>cd apps D:\apps>python -m venv MyVirtual If I install any packages in this session, they …  |

 | If it is a test case then I have to wonder for what? It's true that we've seen a great deal of pointless posts and I absolutely do not see the payback in making them. I don't recall how many garbage posts I've seen defining what SEO and back links … |

 | Putting on our traditional Christmas Eve spread with family. Christmas dinner tomorrow. We long ago stopped exchanging presents as we all agreed that agonizing over gift buying just for the sake of giving a gift was pointless. We all know we love each other so just being together, eating, and …  |
 | Can you give us the actual query in pseudo code with field names? I think we can figure it out by first eliminating the vb.NET syntax. I typically use a SQL management console to get the underlying query before I add in the gory code details. |

| | It depends very heavily on: 1. What type af analysis you want to do. 2. Your level of expertise. Neither of which you specified in your post. Unless you made the post as spam-seeding I suggest you flesh out your question. |
| | Spamming is getting the same post over and over. |

| | I program only desktop/shell apps for Windows and I use Visual Studio Code (free) and python (free) with wxpython (free) as the target GUI. Do you see a pattern here? |
The End.
